Why can't things save automatically? I had to retype the first half of this chapter, so that's why it took a little longer to post. Anyway, here it is, the final chapter! Enjoy!
"After you, Rocksann," said Orion, gesturing his arm towards the ship entrance.
"Thank you," Roxanne replied, as she walked forward and into the ship. The ship was very similar to the one they arrived in. It was the same shape and (mostly) the same interior (there wasn't a couch and there wasn't as many rooms as the other ship). Roxanne took a seat in a leather chair by the window.
"The other Azullons should be here in a few moments," Orion said, "I'll start preping the ship for take off." And with that, Orion went outside, leaving Minion and Roxanne alone.
"Ms. Ritchi?" Minion asked, "Are you okay?"
"Hmm? Oh yeah, I'm fine Minion," Roxanne said giving him a small smile.
Truth was, she was far from okay. For one thing, she was exhausted. She barely got any sleep last night. She just kept thinking about him.
She mostly thought about all the times they were together. The kidnappings...
"What secrets, you're so predicable!" "Pre-predicable? Do you call this predicable?" ... "Such tricks, won't work, on me." "Please talk slower." "Temptress."
The dates with 'Bernard'...
"The paintings! They're back!" "I guess Megamind's not as evil as we think."
The rescue from Titan (or Tighten or however he spelled his name)...
"You did it, you won." "I finally had a reason to: You."
and their time on Azullon together. Every one of these memories brought a small smile to Roxanne's face, but then she would have to remember that she and Megamind wouldn't have moments like those together for a while.
It was probably around three in the morning when she thought, maybe it would be best if I just leave already. After all, Megamind obviously wanted to spend some time with his parents, and besides, anytime she and Megamind would spend time together, it would probably just be awkward. And then in a few days they would have to say goodbye, that would be hard for both of them.
But she didn't want to influence him to decide to go back to Earth just because she wanted him there. If he wanted to stay on Azullon, Roxanne wanted him to, even if it meant missing him. So, she decided to go back to Earth early, it would work out for the best, at least for Megamind and his family.
"You know, I bet he'll miss you too," Minion said after a few moments of silence.
"What?" said Roxanne, caught a little offguard. She then remembered something. "Oh don't tell me you can read minds too."
"No," replied Minion, "No offense Ms. Ritchi, but it's written all over your face that you miss him." Roxanne blushed a little. "You know, we can go back to the house and wait until tomorrow to leave."
"No, that's okay," replied Roxanne, even though she secretly wanted to. But it was already hard enough for her to leave without even saying goodbye, it was no doubt going to be harder leaving with a goodbye. She felt a little silly for feeling so sad, it's not like they had broken up or anything. They promised to email each other, and Megamind said he was going to visit in a few months. So it would be fine, they would see each other again, eventually. But in the meantime, Roxanne knew she would probably still miss seeing that giant blue head of his everyday.
"Okay, Ms. Ritchi," said Minion, with just a hint of disappointment in his voice. He then glanced out the window. "Hey look, here come the other Azullons."
About six or seven Azullons walked onto the ship. From what Roxanne could tell, they were mostly men in silver jumpsuits. Minion gave a friendly 'hello' to all of them, and they just politely nodded in response. Through the small crowd, Roxanne's eyes met with a familiar face.
"Roxie," said Kela, smiling. She then walked over to her human friend. The two had not seen each other in two days. "What a pleasant surprise to see you here."
"Thanks Kela," said Roxanne, smiling, "It's nice to see you too. So, you're going to Earth too?"
"Oh yes," replied Kela, "Earth is just so interesting, when I heard there was an oporatuneity to go there, I just had to take it."
"Well, I hope you like Earth," said Roxanne, smiling at her friend's excitement.
"Thanks, I know I will." Kela then glanced at Roxanne's neck, or rather what was around Roxanne's neck. "Oh, what a beautiful klecenal."
"Oh, thank you," replied Roxanne, absentmindedly touching the blue center, "It was a gift."
"May I please see it?" Kela asked. Roxanne nodded, gently took off the necklace and handed it to Kela.
The young female alien examined the necklace as if it were a fossil, looking at every small detail. When she turned the blue oval over, her face filled with confusion and curiousness.
"Rr-Rowsk awn, I we-all loove yo foo reva, Mm," Kela said. Roxanne looked at her, confused.
"What?" she asked. Kela gave a sigh.
"I apologize, I'm afraid I'm not as good at reading English as I am speaking it," said Kela. She then handed the necklace back to Roxanne. "Here, read the back."
Roxanne turned the necklace over and gave a small gasp. She read the message once, twice. It was written so neatly, as if someone wrote it with a pencil instead of engraving it. She felt her eyes moisten a little as she read the message.
Roxanne-
I will love you forever
-MM
When she read the message, she couldn't help but think 'I love you too'. She felt so many things: Guilt, for not noticing the message sooner; Sadness, because she was no thinking of him (again); and Wanting. Wanting to hug her boyfriend, tell him thank you and that she loved him and that he was so sweet.
But she couldn't. So she would (reluctantly) have to wait until the next time she saw him, whenever that would be.
"What is it?" Kela asked, noticing her friend's wet eyes.
"Oh, nothing," replied Roxanne, putting the necklace back around her neck, "I'm just missing someone."
"Oh," said Kela, understanding. Figuring it would be for the best not to talk about it anymore, Kela just changed the topic and started up a conversation with her friend for about twenty minutes or until she heard footsteps behind her and turned her head. Orion had just re-entered the ship.
"Attention everyone," Orion said, "we will be leaving momentarily. Please take your seats."
Meanwhile, Megamind was flying towards the rocket building. He burst through the metal doors and rapidly looked around. There were about five or six rockets around the giant building, but all of them looked like they were being worked on. Megamind quickly found a man that looked like a scientist, and flew over to him.
"Excuse me, do you know where I can find the ship that is leaving in..." Megamind glanced at his watch, "Four minutes thirty one seconds?"
"I sortoly, I bucano sunat yo. Wyah nara yo rewas holos fyla botas?"
"Oh forget it!" Megamind shouted, frusterated that he couldn't understand anything the man was saying except for "I" and "You". Megamind flew forward and looked around the rest of the building and spotted an open entrance. He flew out it and saw a big, shiny, oval object on a platform.
"The ship!" Megamind exclaimed happily. But then he noticed that the door was closing! "Oh no!" Megamind quickly shot forward. But the ship was about half a mile away from the building, and the door was closing fast. "Come on, come on!" Megamind said, trying to get his boots to go faster. Unfortunately, a lot of fuel that was left in the tanks (he knew he shouldn't have done all those flight tests for his friends) had been used just flying across town.
Megamind felt the boots start to give out, and he was still a good ten or twelve yards from the ship. So he did the only thing he could do: Yell and hope for a good wind current. "Wait! Wait! Stop the door!"
Roxanne looked up. Was that, no it couldn't be. But... Roxanne quickly got up and looked through the opening between the door coming down. It was. "Megamind!"
"What!" shouted Minion and Orion. Roxanne kept her attention at her flying boyfriend, ignoring the questions. He was flying towards them, towards the opening, but the doors were closing fast. "Quick, stop the doors!"
Minion looked around and saw a big red button on the wall. It said 'Emergency Button For Door'. Minion hit it, and turned his fish body towards the door.
Megamind was getting closer, and it looked like the door had stopped moving. But now he felt himself flying lower and slower. Come on, just a little more, Megamind thought, determined to make it. When he was close enough, he practically dove through the opening, and ended up hitting his head on the floor and cartwheeling into the ship!
"Sir!/Son!" Minion and Orion shouted, running towards the alien. Since Minion had let go of the button, the iron door closed, and the engines started warming up.
"What in the name of the stars were you thinking, Ouwan?" Orion asked as Minion helped his master up.
"Well," Megamind started to explain, but then the pain started to kick in. "Ow, wow that hurts a lot more then you'd think."
"Megamind."
Megamind looked up and saw Roxanne. Forgetting about his headpain, Megamind quickly got up and practically ran to Roxanne. "Roxanne, I've decided to go back to Earth." Megamind smiled at the brunette, expecting her to do the same. But instead she just gave him a sad look and shook her head.
"Megamind, no," she said. Roxanne saw Megamind's eyes fill with confusion.
"What? Wait, you don't want me...?"
"No, it's just," Roxanne started to say. She looked into Megamind's eyes. "You've been away from your home, your family, for more then twenty years. I'm not going to make you go back to Earth and be away from your home. You should be here."
"Roxanne," said Megamind, "It's my choice, which you promised to support. And my choice, is you. When I'm with you, I feel like I am at home, it doesn't matter if I'm on Earth or Azullon or whatever. I want to be with you." Megamind then took Roxanne's hand. She looked up at him, and he smiled. "I love you, Roxanne Ritchi."
Roxanne smiled, her eyes moistening once more. "And I will love you, forever," she said, remembering the necklace's words. She then hugged Megamind, and he happily hugged back.
While they were hugging, Megamind looked at his father and Minion. They both smiled at him, happy for both of them. Megamind smiled even bigger (if that was possible), closed his eyes, and hugged Roxanne tighter.
Now this was the right choice.
()()()()())()()()()
Roxanne knocked on the door. "Megamind, it's me," she said. She heard the wizz of the security camera above the door, and the small metal clinks behind the door before it opened. Roxanne stepped inside and looked around the familiar living room.
About three weeks after the trip to Azullon, Roxanne had moved into the lair. While the top floor and observitory stayed the same, Megamind made the rest of the abandoned building into a normal home, which turned into a house with a kitchen, living room, library, about a dozen bedrooms (only three of which were used), three bathrooms, a brainbot playroom and a basement that had a pool (Minion's idea).
Roxanne looked around the living room. No Megamind in sight. Probably still working on that transporter hat, Roxanne thought as she walked over to the intercom system. She pressed a button, and spoke into it. "Megamind come on, we need to get a good seat for the fireworks. Minion and Kela are waiting for us."
"Just sit down on the couch and wait for me, I'll be down in a few minutes," Megamind said through the speaker. Roxanne rolled her eyes and sat down on the soft, black couch.
The brunette was wearing a yellow sundress, brown sandals, gold stud earrings and the blue oval necklace, her gift from Megamind. Speaking of Megamind, Roxanne had barely spoke to the alien all day.
Because he was the city hero, Megamind got his own float in the Metro City 4th of July parade (which was really just Metro Man's float painted blue), and because she had the day off, Roxanne couldn't 'interview' him.
She called him after a tradition grilled lunch with Minion and Kela, and he told her to meet her at the lair. So, here she was.
Just then, a bag was pulled over her head. "Hey! Megamind..." she said in a warning tone as Megamind tied her hands together (tight, but not too tight).
"I have a surprise for you, and I'm not going to risk anything giving it away," said Megamind.
"You know, a blindfold is just as good," replied Roxanne. But Megamind just ignored the comment, took Roxanne's hand, and led her to the door. Well, at least he washed the bag, Roxanne thought.
After they were out the door, Megamind led her to another building, they called it the garage since it had the invisble car and all of Megamind's transport equipment (boots, packs, ect.). He helped her onto the hoverbike, and she held onto him as it left the garage and went into the sky.
"Well, I know we're flying somewhere," Roxanne said.
"You know, I have a can of Forget-Me-Spray with me."
"You wouldn't dare."
"No, probably not." Roxanne giggled, and just let herself enjoy the ride. But after a while, she started to get impatient."
"Megamind, we're going to miss the fireworks," she said matter-of-factly.
"No we're not."
"Oh, so you're taking somewhere to see the fireworks." There was a moment of silence.
"No," Megamind said defensively. But Roxanne smiled, knowing that he was lying. After a few more minutes, Roxanne heard the engine on the hoverbike slow down, and then felt it land. She slowly got off the bike, and Megamind untied her hands.
"Okay Ms. Ritchi, tell me," Megamind said, "were you expecting this?"
Megamind took the bag off and Roxanne gasped. There were on top of (the repaired) Metro Tower, but a small balcony was built there so they could move a little more freely. The sun was setting, and would be completely down any minute now. The stars twinkled above them, and a cool wind blew past Roxanne's short hair. It was a perfect summer night.
"It's beautiful up here," Roxanne mused. She then smirked. "So, we're having our own fireworks show up here?" She looked at Megamind, but his back was turned away from her.
"Minion, where are they!" Megamind whisper/shouted into his watch.
"Sorry Sir, technical difficulties," said Minion, "Um, Code: Maybe you should continue with the plan without them?"
"Code: Fine," Megamind said reluctantly. He then turned to see Roxanne smiling. "You heard all of that didn't you?"
"Yeah," replied Roxanne, "but don't worry, I still don't know much about this 'plan'."
"Well, then I guess this isn't predicable," joked Megamind. He then reached into the pocket of his jumpsuit and fished out a small object. Roxanne's eyes widened slightly. The alien went down on one knee and looked up at her with big green eyes.
She could always tell what he was feeling and thinking through his expressive eyes. She saw hints of worry, but she also saw sureness and determination, as if this was something he wanted to do this for a long time.
"Megamind..." Roxanne said, practically in a whisper.
"Roxanne," Megamind said, looking at her, "I need to ask you something." He opened the object and extended his arm. It was a ring, custom made that had three jems on it: A diamond in the middle, and two aquamarine (Roxanne's birthstone) jewels next to it, one on each side. The ring shone and sparkled, and even if it was dull and plain, Roxanne would still be smiling at it.
"Roxanne Ritchi," Megamind said smiling, "You've been my captor, my friend, my girlfriend and you were even my hero- er, heroine. Now, I want you to be one more thing for me: Will you please be my wife?"
Roxanne smiled, bent down and hugged Megamind. "So, can I take it as a yes?" she heard him ask.
"No," she said, looking at him, "You can take it as an 'absolutely'."
Megamind's eyes slowly lit up, and then he smiled. "She said yes," he said, as if he were saying it to himself. He then jumped up and threw his hands in the air in victory and happiness. "She said yes!" he shouted happily.
"Sir! Sir!" Minion said, his voice coming from the watch, "What did she say?"
"She said it Minion," Megamind said, "She said..."
The alien was interrupted by the kiss of his new fiance. He tenderly kissed back, and the two probably would have stayed like that if not for a certain fish.
"Sir? She said what?"
"I said 'yes'," Roxanne said into the watch.
"Oh I knew it!" Minion said happily, "I knew you two were perfect for each other. Congratulations Sir, to both of you actually! Oh this is so exciting!"
Megamind and Roxanne both laughed at their fishy friend. They then looked at each other, smiling.
"Thank you," Megamind said.
"You don't need to thank me," Roxanne replied, looking at Megamind lovingly, "it was an easy choice for me to make."
The two then kissed again, just as the multicolored fireworks shot into the sky. The pitch black sky was filled with bright color, an amazing sight for all.
And the two barely noticed it.
And...Done!
Wow, I really hope that wasn't too corny. It turned out pretty good IMO, but who knows. Anyway, thank you all for reading and making this story a success (I was really worried it wouldn't be good). And yes, I plan on writing a sequel to this story. The first Megamind Wedding fanfic, yayz! Lol. Anyway, please review the final chapter if it's not too much trouble, and I hope to see you in my next story.
Thanks again to everyone who read/reviewed, and happy Mega-holidays!
