Roxanne and Syx walked down the boardwalk to the house, Roxanne now wearing the sweater and Syx carrying her wet outer shirt. Just then Orion came walking up to them and said "I wish to speak with both of you." Roxanne and Syx looked up at him confused, but followed him all the same. They followed him to the barn where he stopped for a moment and turned to them "Your mother is never to hear about this." He stated before opening the door.

The couple walked in only to see Bernard walk down the barn towards them. "Told you I'd check up on you even though I really didn't want to."

Syx turned and looked at his father anger growing "What did you do?"

"I got a phone call from Bernard here that told me that if you were lying and he strongly believes that you are," Orion added as Bernard came up next to him, his tired face never changing "he's send you to prison. So I flew him up here." Orion looked at his son worriedly "I don't want you to get hurt." He said quietly.

Syx shook his head "Dad-"

"Luckily for you," Bernard interrupted with false happiness "your father negotiated a deal on your behalf. Now this offers going to last for 20 seconds so listen carefully." Syx looked at Bernard his anger growing. "You're going to make a statement admitting this marriage is a shame, and you're going to go to prison." He added pointing to Roxanne, who had become very quiet and withdrawn behind Syx. "You tell the truth, you're off the hook." Bernard continued "And she is going to go back to Canada."

Orion waited for his son to agree, but Syx was staying silent so he decided to try again "Son, take the deal."

"No." Syx said through the ever growing anger.

"Don't be foolish, son." Orion said as Roxanne looked at Syx getting confused as well.

"You want a statement?" Syx asked glaring at Bernard. The man smirked and held out a tape recorder "I've been working for Roxanne Ritchi for 3 years. 6 months ago we started dating and fell in love. I asked her to marry me, she said yes." Turning to his father he glared and said "I'll see you at the wedding." With that he turned and left. Roxanne followed out slowing leaving Bernard and Orion alone in the barn.

..::-::..

Syx held the door open for Roxanne as she walked in and set her stuff down before she sat down on the bed. They were silent for a long time before Roxanne finally spoke up. "You sure about this?"

"Not really." Syx answered honestly.

"I mean, I am very appreciative of what you've done, but I think that-"

"You'd do the same for me, right?" Syx interrupted knowing that not to be true.

Roxanne looked at him realizing what he meant.

Just then there was a knock on the door and Minion walked in with a smile "Hope everyone is decent!" Walking up to Syx he said "Mistress says you need to come with me." Walking over to the bed he picked up the baby maker with a smile "Now tomorrows your wedding day, you have to give the baby maker a rest tonight."

"We never used it." Syx said shaking his head as the fish rambled on walking out of the room.

"Now kiss the bride goodnight! You have your whole lives to be together!"

Roxanne smiled a little as Syx looked at her "You know if I don't go with him, he's just gonna come right back."

Roxanne let out a little laugh "Yeah, I know."

They were silent again for a little bit before Syx turned to leave stopping for a moment to ask "See you in the morning?"

Roxanne nodded and said quietly "Yeah."

Syx gave her one last look before walking out and shutting the door behind him.

..::-::..

That night neither Syx nor Roxanne slept well that night. Both thinking about each other and the marriage. Finally the time came for the wedding to happen. Syx stood at the altar greeting guests as they came in. Minion walked up to him and patted him on the back, careful not to throw him forward. "Here we go, sir! Are you ready?"

Syx smiled at him "Yes." Syx said.

Minion beamed at him "I know! I can tell." Syx looked at him confused but before he could ask him Minion spoke "Well I better go. I'm really happy for you, sir!"

Syx chuckled at Minion as he walked down the aisle and casually looked down at his father, who was looking worried and mad at the same time. This made Syx drop his smile for a moment before the wedding song started. Syx looked up to see Roxanne walking towards them. Even with the odd dress, she looked beautiful. That was when Minion walked up to her and offered his arm. She smiled at him and took it as he led her toward Syx who couldn't help, but beam at her. Everyone stood in honor of her and Roxanne felt something well inside her that she knew to be guilt. Minion was unaware of her unease and was just smiling happily.

Finally they reached Syx and Minion passed her off to him and they both walked up onto the altar where to Roxanne horror, Hal stood in a suit holding his hands out smiling at everyone.

"You guys can sit now." Hal said and everyone did. Hal looked at Roxanne and winked at her. She forced a smile. "We are gathered here today to give thanks and to celebrate, one of life's greatest moments." Hal said starting his speech. "To give recognition to the beauty, honesty, and unselfish ways of Syx and Roxanne's true love in front of family and friends." Syx and Roxanne shared a look, both wanting Hal to shut up, or die. Whichever came first. "For it is their family and friends who taught Syx and Roxanne to love. So it is only right that family and friends are all-" Roxanne held up her hand halting Hal in his speech. "Do you have a question?" Hal asked.

"No, but I do have something to say." Roxanne said quietly.

"Can it wait till after?" Hal asked again.

"No, it can't."

"Roxanne what are you doing?" Syx muttered o her as she turned around. She ignored him so he turned around with her.

"Hello." She started with her business smile "Thank you all so much for coming. I have an announcement to make about the wedding. Well confession actually-" she laughed a little.

"What are you doing?" Syx asked trying to stop her.

"I am a Canadian." She continued, ignoring him "With an expired Visa, who was about to be deported. And because I didn't want to leave this wonderful country of yours I forced Syx to marry me."

"Roxanne, stop it." Syx tried again, but she continued on anyway.

"You see Syx has always had this extraordinary work ethic." She turned and looked at Orion with a smile "Something I think he learned from you. And for three years I watched him work harder than anyone else and I knew that if I threatened to destroy his career he would do just about anything." Roxanne stopped gathering herself trying to stop from crying. "So I blackmailed him to come up here and to lie to you. All of you… and I thought it would be easy to watch him do it. But it wasn't." she smiled at the minds and said "Turns out it's not easy to ruin someone's life once you find out how wonderful it they are. You have a beautiful family. Don't let this come between you. This was my fault."

"Roxanne-"

"Syx," Roxanne said turning to him "this was a business deal and you held up your end and now the deal is off." Syx just looked at her completely lost. Roxanne walked down the altar and offered one last sorry before walking briskly down he isle. As she did she spoke to Bernard who was sitting in the back "You will meet me at the dock, you're giving me a ride the airport."

"Yay." Bernard said unenthusiastically before tiredly standing up out of his chair and following her out.

..::-::..

"What were you thinking!?" Lactea snapped at her son. Everyone had gotten over the shock and was now talking about it and leaving. Minion and Lactea were speaking to Syx.

"I don't know-"

"You lied to us!" Lactea cried.

"Just let me get my head on straight. I'll explain everything later. Sorry." With that he raced into the house and up the stairs not really sure what he was looking for. He then reached their room and saw the dress laid nicely out on the bed with the fish scale on top of it.

Next to it was a note that read "You were right. The blue prints are amazing. I lied because I knew giving you the go I would lose you as an assistant. You have an incredible talent and I'll make sure you get the green light before I leave. Have an amazing life, you deserve it, Roxanne."

"That certainly was something." Minion said walking into the room.

Syx looked over at him then back at the note. "Yeah…"

"Are you alright, sir?" Minion tried again.

"Yes, no, um…" Syx took a breath and looked at him friend "You know that problem is? The problem is this woman;" he pointed to the paper "is a gigantic pain in my ass. First there's the whole leaving me, I get that a sham is kind of stressful, then she goes ahead and she leaves this note because she doesn't have the decency, the humanity to say it my face. Three years I've put up with this woman and not once has she had a nice thing to say to me then she writes this crap!" he cried crumbling the paper and throwing it across the room. "But none of that matters because we had a deal!"

"Sir-"

"Sorry, she just makes me a little crazy."

Minion chuckled "I can see that. So you're just going to let her go?" the fish asked eying his best friend knowingly. Megamind looked at his brother resembling a kicked puppy.

..::-::..

"So what happens now?" Roxanne asked as she and Bernard sped away from the island on a speedboat.

"Well now that you're making this easy, it's easy for me." Bernard said not bother to look at her. "Once we land in New York you have 24hours to get out of the country."

..::-::..

Syx ran back down to the reception on his way to the boats. Sadly he walked right past his parents. "Syx, what's going on?" Lactea asked, but Syx just kept walking.

"I must speak with her." He said hurriedly.

"Why?" His father asked falling into step with him.

"Sir, Master." Minion began walking up behind them.

"This has nothing to do with you." Syx sad coldly pushing him away.

"Guys, please," Minion tried again.

"I'm not going to let you do this!" Orion snapped grabbing his son's arm and pulling him to a stop.

"PLEASE! Master! No more fighting!" Minion cried.

"You know I never really asked for your permission!" Syx cried.

Suddenly Minion started to gasp and swim around in his tank. His robotic suit started to fail and he fell to the ground.

Lactea went to him at once, "Minion!" she cried getting other's attention. "Orion! Syx!"

Both her boys turned to face her noticing what was happening then they raced to the slowly dying fish. "Sir?" Minion asked quietly looking off into space.

"Someone get a doctor!" Syx cried.

Soon they were on a plane to the nearest vet. One man was slowly pouring more water into the tank. Slowly Minion swam to the top making the man stop.

"Syx." Orion said getting everyone's attention.

Minion gasped softly and looked at both Syx and Orion. "With all due respect Master, you two need to stop fighting!" Orion and Syx looked at each other slightly guiltily. "You'll never see eye to eye, but you're family!" Minion looked like he was about to cry. "We're all that's left. Please Master. We need to stay together!" Looking at Orion he said, "Promise me, Master, you'll stand by Sir whatever he chooses."

Orion nodded, "I promise, Minion." He said trying to keep his voice steady, but failing.

Minion turned to Syx, "And Sir, please. Promise me you'll try harder to be a part of this family."

Syx nodded, "I promise brother. I will."

Minion closed his eyes with a smile as floated to the bottom of his tank, "Alright then I can die in peace now."

"Oh Minion." Lactea said tears in her eyes as she reached out to him.

After the man placed the lid back on Minion helmet and there were few minutes of nothing, Syx raced over a bit nervous. "Minion?"

Minion suddenly popped up smiling at everyone, "Oh well, I guess I'm fine!" he said happily. Sitting up he turned to the pilot and co-pilot ignoring the exasperated sounds of his family. "You know I'm feeling much better now! Don't bother taking me to the vet; just take us straight to the airport."

"Are you serious Minion!?" Orion cried, "You faked dying!?"

"Well it was the only way I could think of to get you two to stop fighting and get us to the airport!" Minion answered with Lactea burst into laughter. Syx just rolled his eyes.

"We're not authorized to do that-" The pilot began, but Minion cut him off.

"I sewed your wife's wedding dress, don't make me call her." The fish threatened.

"Right away sir." The pilot said turning the plane.
