The thrilling conclusion! Thank you to everyone who reviewed!


The Mega Clone struggled to rise. Megamind didn't hesitate to pounce on him. Metro Man advanced to help.

"No!" Megamind cried, choking the clone. "He's mine to finish!"

Then the duplicate was on top of him. "So it's between you and me now, isn't it?"

"You bet, you bucket of bolts!"

The two scratched and screamed at each other as they rolled down the steps. At one point, the Mega Clone ripped the cape off of Megamind. The hero gasped and Minion knew where this was going.

"Oh, now you've crossed the line!"

Out of anger, he tore the cape off of the clone as well. Now they were equally mad and at the same time yanked each other's collars off. Then they lunged again.

"This is for stealing my girlfriend!"

"You stole her from me!"

"I never should have created you!"

"What are you talking about?"

"There can only be one Megamind in Metrocity!"

"And that one is going to be me!"

Meanwhile, Roxanne, Minion and Metro Man were watching from afar.

"Do something!" Roxanne begged Metro Man.

"Like what? I can't tell them apart!"

It was true. With neither of them wearing a cape, they were identical. Roxanne couldn't tell them apart either. Still, she had to do something.

The Dehydration Gun tumbled down the steps, but Roxanne didn't see from which belt if fell from. She picked it up and tested it on a deactivated clone. Good, it worked. She approached the men who were still trying to tear each other's eyes out.

"You've ruined everything!"

"I will be triumphant!"

Roxanne pointed the gun at them. "If you two don't stop right now, I'll zap you both! And by the way, I have it set to DESTROY!"

The two men paused and shrunk back in fear.

"Roxanne," the Megamind on the left said. "Shoot him now!"

"Thank goodness you're here, Roxanne," the one on the right said. "Now zap this imposter so we can all go home."

"What? No, I'm the real Megamind!"

"Roxanne, are you really going to listen to this gibberish? He's trying to trick you!"

"No, he's tricking you!"

"I'm the original Megamind!"

"No, I am!"

The two argued back and forth as Roxanne tried to decide which one to shoot.

"They're so much alike," Minion whispered. "I can't tell which one's the real one!"

Roxanne quickly attempted to think up something that would determine which one was which.

"Hey!" she shouted.

The Megaminds silenced.

"Okay, we're not going to get anywhere if you guys keep arguing. I'm going to ask you some questions. When's my birthday?"

"January 10th!" they said simultaneously. The duo glared at each other.

"Well…then what's my favorite color?"

"Red!"

"Uh, my favorite food?"

"Mexican!"

"Let me try," Minion suggested. "Sir, what did I make you for lunch yesterday?"

"Chicken catchy-tore!"

The fish frowned. "I tried."

"Wait," Roxanne said. "Megamind, where is Metro Man's secret hideout?"

"The old shoolhouse!" They turned toward each other. "How'd you know that?"

This is going to be harder than I thought. They're like Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee.

"Now what?" Metro Man asked.

"We gotta ask something only sir would know," Minion said. "But now that the clone knows you're alive, our choices are limited."

Roxanne tried to think. She knew there was a difference in their kissing, but she figured kissing one of them would make the other angry, or the clone might take advantage of the situation and escape while she was distracted. No, she had to try something else.

Then it came to her. If her theory was correct, then only Megamind would know the answer to her next question.

"How many carats is it?"

The two Megaminds looked confused.

"Carrots?" the one on the right repeated. "How many carrots is what? I don't even like carrots!"

Of course, Megamind was a super genius, but he could be very thick. Roxanne asked the question again.

"How many carats is it?"

She stuck out her ring finger, hoping the real Megamind would catch the hint. The one on the left widened his eyes.

"I still don't get it!" complained the other one.

The first one slapped himself in the forehead. "I feel so stupid. So Mr. Harold wasn't talking about veg-ee-tables when he said it was four carats."

He had bought me a ring. Roxanne aimed at the second Megamind and fired.

"How did you know?" the real Megamind marveled.

"Clearly, he doesn't have your most recent memories."

"No. How did you find out about the…"

Oh. "Please, Megamind, you can be so obvious sometimes."

He began kissing her face. "Oh, you brilliant, beautiful woman!"

Applause was heard and the couple turned to see the citizens emerging from their hiding spots. A lot of them were circling Metro Man, wondering if he was a ghost.

"Looks like you saved the day again," Roxanne said to her boyfriend.

"No," Megamind shook his head. "We saved the day. All of us. And you!" He approached Metro Man. "What made you change your mind?"

The muscular man sighed, "You were right, little buddy. I didn't have a purpose, but I'm willing to find it. And I certainly wasn't going to find it while playing guitar in a basement the rest of my life. However, I think you've got this hero job down. You should keep it. But if you ever need an extra hand, give me a call."

The old enemies shook hands and walked away as friends. Minion surprised Megamind by scooping him up in his arms.

"I'm so glad it's the real you, sir!" he exclaimed. "One of you is all I can handle!"

"Minion…" Megamind wheezed.

"Oh, sorry."

He was met with another embrace, this one from Roxanne.

"He's right," she whispered. "The fact that there is only one of you is what makes you special."

He hugged her back as citizens and cameras circled them, cheering and asking questions. Most of them wanted to know about Metro Man's 'resurrection.' Then Megamind remembered something. He let go of Roxanne and shouted to the crowd.

"Quiet everyone! I have an announcement to make!"

"Megamind, what are you doing?" Roxanne asked as the crowd silenced.

He turned to her with serious eyes. "I need to get this out before anything else happens."

This was the moment. He couldn't wait any longer. He got down on one knee and took Roxanne's hands in his. Megamind heaved a breath. Nothing's going to stop me now.

"Roxanne Ritchi," he said solemnly. "I am about to make the biggest choice of my life. Even though it's no longer a surprise since you're so nosy…"

He reached into his pocket and took out the box. "Roxanne, my love…"

And then he revealed the sparkling blue diamond.

"Will you marry me?"

Roxanne put her hand to her mouth. She knew all day that this was coming, but she hadn't expected him to say it so…sincerely. The ring was beautiful, and every word he had said sent butterflies in her stomach.

For a moment, she was speechless. Then finally, she took the ring from the box, slipped it on her finger and a single word escaped her lips.

"Yes."

Megamind blinked. "Yes?"

"Yes!"

He jumped up. "Really?"

She threw her arms around him. "Megamind, how could I say no to something so beautiful?"

He still couldn't believe his luck. "Well, I picked it out especially for you."

"I wasn't talking about the ring."

She kissed him before he had the chance to. Everyone around them was clapping and awing. Metro Man gave them a thumbs-up and Minion nearly cried.

"My little boy is all grown up," he sniffed.

As the couple pulled away, reporters shot questions at them.

"When's the wedding?"

"How many are you inviting?"

"Miss Ritchi, what sort of gown will you be wearing?"

Megamind whispered to Roxanne, "Um, I hadn't thought about this part."

"That's okay," Roxanne replied. "We can talk about it on the way home."

She dragged him through the crowd to the invisible car.

"Congratulations!" Metro Man called. "I'll catch up with you kids later! Besides, I have a lot of cleaning up and explaining to do."


When Minion pulled the car into the Lair, Megamind and Roxanne were making out in the backseat. The fish slid out the door embarrassed.

"I'll leave you two alone then."

He wanted to start planning their wedding cake anyway.

It took a while for the couple to pull away and catch their breath. Roxanne then noticed the slightly worried expression on her fiancé's face.

"Is something wrong?" she asked.

"It's just…" he stammered. "We really shouldn't be doing this, Roxanne. I mean are you sure you want to be with me?"

She rolled her eyes. "Please, not that stuff again! Megamind, it's you I love and only you. I'm never going to change my mind. Just promise me one thing."

"What?"

"You are going to destroy that cloning machine and never do something like that again."

"Agreed."

They kissed again. "I really don't deserve you," Megamind sighed.

"Well, you have me anyways," Roxanne giggled. "So you might as well make the best of it."

They made out in the back of that car for half an hour. Megamind finally had the girl of his dreams and soon they were going to be together forever.

"Now comes the hard part," Roxanne said.

"What is that?"

"I'm going to have to explain this to my mom."

But that didn't matter to her. All that mattered was the man embracing her.


And they all lived happily ever after! (maybe)
