Fandom: Megamind
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: I donn't wish I did.
Summary: Megamind and Roxanne are on a date, but things go very wrongly, very quickly. When the hero gets called into action and a minor bump on the head turns into a nightmare for Roxanne. But when a new bad guy comes, will Megamind be able to beat him?
"Okay, Roxanne we're on in 5, 4, 3, 2, go!" Caitlin said cueing Roxanne behind the camera.
"This is Roxanne Ritchi reporting live in down town Metro City where the city has been bombarded by bombs by a man calling himself well, Bombard!" Roxanne said gesturing behind her to the burning buildings. "There's nothing to worry about, because Bombard will be stopped by our city's own hero Megamind!!" she cried happily.
"Wait! What!? I'm not a- "
"Shhh! Just watch it!"
"Should I turn it up?"
"No, we're fine, Thanks Minion."
Just then a huge explosion happened behind Roxanne making her hair fly forward. She tried to stop it from getting in her face, but the force of the wind was far too strong. "Holy crap!" Caitlin said from behind the camera. "That was close!"
"HA HA HA!!" Roxanne looked behind her as the camera snapped up to look at a man hovering above the ground holding a lit bomb in his hand. "You think you can stop me!? Me?! The great Bombard!? The greatest-Umph!"
Bombard was suddenly shoved to the ground and Megamind appeared before the camera next to Roxanne brushing of his shoulder. "Geez!" he said talking to Roxanne "Was I ever that annoying?! I mean really! At least I had good banter!"
Roxanne laughed and gave him a kiss on the cheek "Yes you were that annoying, but in a cute way." he was about to protest when she added "And yes you had good banter." at that he seemed to relax.
"Megamind!" both he and Roxanne turned around as Bombard stood up "I will not be ignored!"
"I do suppose I have to stop you." Megamind said sighing. Then turned back to Roxanne "I shall be right back."
She nodded and he jumped into the sky activating his rockets and zoomed off. "You know," Caitlin said "You guys are really cute together."
"Thanks Caitlin!" Roxanne said putting her hand on her chest. "I think we are too!"
"I hope you two get- LOOK OUT!!" she screamed as Roxanne turned and ducked right as the camera flipped and turned and another loud boom was heard. The camera finally righted itself showing a burning building. Then quickly moved to Roxanne showing a shocked face rather than a frightened one.
Roxanne looked at Caitlin "That was close."
"No kidding." Caitlin said agreeing.
"Now, come on!" Megamind cried and the camera zoomed in on him from behind Roxanne. "That's not fair! Your deal is with me! You don't see me attacking your girlfriend, do you?!" after a moment he added "Do you even have a girlfriend?"
Bombard growled and threw another bomb at Megamind. But this time he caught it. "Megamind!" Roxanne cried as the bomb exploded, but when the smoke cleared, Megamind was simply standing there with a smoke stained face blinking his eyes. "Megamind?"
"AHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Caitlin laughed behind the camera making it shake. Both Roxanne and Megamind looked at her disapprovingly. "Sorry, sorry! His face is just so funny!!"
"Right." Megamind said turning back to Bombard and wiping his face clean. "You know, your bombs are really quite well made." he said taking flight again "You could get a job with the city as a demolisher and then you could blow things up legally! You get to blow things up, the city doesn't get destroyed, and I don't have to fight you! Everybody wins!"
"Don't give him advise!" Roxanne scolded "Fight him!"
"I'm trying to defuse the satiation, dear!" Megamind shouted back while avoiding another bomb his way.
"I don't think right now would be the best time to compliment him on his bomb making skills, darling!!" Roxanne called cupping her hands around her mouth.
"I think I know what I'm doing, Roxanne-" Megamind stopped when he saw the look on her face then added "whom I love so very much, is my sun on a cloudy day, and is a very forgiving person!"
"HA! You two are like an old married couple!" Caitlin said causing Roxanne to look at her and redden a bit. "I love it!"
"Sorry about that we-"
"Roxanne!" Caitlin cried as Roxanne was ripped away from the camera. She then sighed and turned the camera to face her. "So folks looks like Roxanne's been captured. . . again!"
"Roxanne's been captured again?!" the camera looked up at Megamind as he landed in front of it and looked to Caitlin.
"Yep." she said dully.
"Where is she?!" he asked a bit peeved and worried at the same time.
The camera pointed up in the sky and zoomed in on Roxanne smacking the crap out of Bombard and him glaring at her "About fifty feet in the air that way." Caitlin answered and Megamind zoomed off into the air. The camera turned to her again "So here is the deal, seeing as how Roxanne's busy at the mo-"
"Shoot him already!" Roxanne cried in the background and Caitlin looked up.
"I don't want to hit you!" Megamind protested.
"He's already grabbed my butt like five times! Shoot the damn gun!!" she snapped.
"Oh that's it!" Megamind said and there was a yellow tint on Caitlin's face as she cringed away from the light.
She looked up again and jerked away saying "Oh! Snap!" she looked up again. "What kind of gun is that?!"
"It's the Ugly-a-ter!" Megamind called from off camera.
"Man I don't even want to know how or why or anything about how that gun came to be." Caitlin said shivering before turning back to the camera. "As I was saying, seeing as how Roxanne is busy and I'm not a reporter, I'm just going to film so here ya go." she then righted the camera to show Megamind flying down with Roxanne in his arms.
They landed a bit away as the camera zoomed in on them "Thanks for that." Roxanne said to Megamind.
"You bet!" he said back. "I'm just sorry he touched you!"
"Yeah me too!" Roxanne said.
"Well, back to work." Megamind said. Before he took off Roxanne grabbed him and gave him a big kiss. They broke apart and he said smiling "Not that I mind, but what was that for?"
"Luck." she said simply before giving him another peck and watching him fly into the air.
The camera shook as Caitlin ran to join Roxanne "Like I said," she said making Roxanne look at her "old married couple."
"Got ya!" Megamind cried from off camera and both ladies looked up to see the hero floating down with a small blue cube in his hand. "Another day another win." he said as he landed.
"Well there you have folks, as the great Megamind said 'Another day, another win'! This is Roxanne Ritchi for channel 8 news!" Roxanne made the cut sign and the camera went off.
..::-::..
After the first tape Megamind was speechless. He knew that a tape of that caliber couldn't be faked. He knew that what he had just seen really happened, but he couldn't remember any of it! Was he fed drugs!? He was silent for the next three more tapes of heroic things he had apparently done, that he never would have done, until Minion finally turned the T.V. off and stretched. "Time for bed, boss." he said. "It is 11:00 at night." he then looked at Roxanne, who had fallen asleep on Megamind's lap. "Poor Ms. Ritchi, I'll go get the guest bed ready for her."
"Minion, I don't understand!" Megamind cried moving away from the unconscious Roxanne on the couch making Minion stop in his tracks. "Why does she care so much about me?! She should hate me!"
Minion sighed. "Sir," he said turning to face his best friend "Ms. Ritchi doesn't hate you, she loves you."
"But why!?" he asked again this time throwing his hands in the air for added effect. "I just don't understand!"
Minion sighed again "When Ms. Ritchi wakes up you should ask her."
"But it doesn't make sense. After everything that I've done to her- there is no logic to this!" Megamind said looking at the sleeping Roxanne. Despite himself he couldn't help, but think that she was beautiful.
"Sir," Minion said walking over to his master "why don't you try not thinking about it?"
"What?" Megamind asked confused.
"If this doesn't make any sense, but it's happening anyway, maybe there's something else behind it." Minion advised. Megamind simply raised an eyebrow. "Sir, what about how you feel."
"What do you mean?" Megamind asked.
"What I mean is, when you look at Ms. Ritchi, what do you feel?" Minion told him looking at Roxanne.
"I feel annoyance, distain and a bit of anger." Megamind said quickly with his nose in the air.
"No sir," Minion said shaking his head. "I mean, what do you really feel?" Megamind relaxed a bit and looked to Minion. "When you look at her, what happens?" Minion continued as Megamind turned around to look at Roxanne. "Do you really hate her or is there something else there?"
Roxanne stirred and hugged a pillow that was close to her. Megamind smiled sweetly at this, which did not go unnoticed by Minion, but the fish chose not to say anything. Although Megamind didn't want to admit it, he said "When I look at Roxanne I feel my heart beat quicken and my knees get week. My breath catches in my throat and I get a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach." he looked over at his friend and asked "What is that Minion?"
Minion smiled warmly at him "That's love sir."
"Love?" Megamind asked.
Minion nodded "Your brain might not remember it sir, but that's something your heart, just doesn't forget."
