Yay, new story! This is following up on Attack of the Mega Clones. You might want to read that. Anyway, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Megamind (Gee, I wish!)


"Hello, this is Roberta Ritchi."

Roxanne cringed at what she was about to do. "Hey, Mom."

"Roxanne? Is that you, sweetheart? It's so nice to hear from you! You haven't called me in ages!"

"Well, a lot has been going on. Mom, I have to tell you something."

"You're not still dating that blue alien freak, are you?"

She groaned. I knew this was a bad idea.

"Not exactly," Roxanne said into the phone.

"Oh, good. You've finally come to your senses."

"I'm marrying him, Mom."

There was silence on the other end, followed by an eruption of fury. Roxanne had to move the phone away from her ear.

"You are what? You're marrying that villain? I thought I told you to stay away from him!"

"Mom," Roxanne tried to explain. "He's not a villain anymore. He hasn't been for almost a year now. And don't call him a freak, because he's the most wonderful man I've ever met!"

"For crying out loud, Roxanne, he killed your boyfriend!"

"Ugh! Mom, are the times behind in Cleveland? Didn't you watch the news? Wayne isn't dead. He only faked his death and we were never going out in the first place!"

"How dare you call me and tell me you're marrying this devil!"

"Actually, I was going to invite you to the wedding. Since Dad…"

"Forget it! I'm not seeing my daughter getting married to a blue-headed freak! You can take me off the invitation list!"

Roberta hung up before Roxanne could. She glanced at the blue diamond ring on her finger and sighed heavily.

What a day it had been. First, Megamind accidentally creates an army of evil clones, then he saves the city from yet another hostile takeover and then he proposes to her. Despite how many times his ingenious plans had backfired, Roxanne said yes. She loved Megamind no matter what. If only her mother could see that.

She didn't want to tell her, but she felt it was only fair that she did. After all, she needed someone to give her away, since Richard Ritchi had died in a car crash a few years ago.

Roxanne picked up the phone again and dialed a number.

"Ollo, this is Rachel," a light voice chimed on the other end. "Who's talking?"

She laughed at how her sister had adopted Megamind's greeting.

"Hey, sis," Roxanne said.

"Roxie! Oh my god, I was just thinking about calling you! It's all over the news! Blue Boy finally popped the question! This is even better than when William and Kate got hitched! And Metro Man's alive? Oh my god! You have to give me the details! How many carats is it?"

"Four."

"Wow, that boyfriend of yours knows how to deliver!"

"So you don't mind?"

"Why would I mind? I've been waiting for you two to get together since he first kidnapped you! Besides, that Megamind is so hot! Oh, and I'm happy for you of course!"

That was what Roxanne loved most about Rachel. She didn't care that she was with a former super villain.

"So when's the wedding?"

"We've decided to have it sometime in August, so we have time to prepare."

"Four months? I can't wait that long! Couldn't you just go to Vegas and I'll meet you there?"

"Rachel! I want the whole family to be there. Well, except for Mom."

"She gave you a hard time, huh? Ma never understood the meaning of true love, even if she did have Dad."

"Anyway, I'm asking you to be my maid of honor."

"You remembered! Now all I have to do is get engaged so you can be my maid of honor. After all, that's what we promised each other. Hey, does this mean I finally get to meet Blue Boy and the fish robot?"

"Yes, it does."

"Awesome! I'll come see you as soon as I can! Congrats, sis! Ciao!"

Rachel hung up and Roxanne dialed again. She was going to make one last phone call today.

"Hello, this is The New York Times, Nora Ritchi speaking."

"Hi, Nor."

"Roxanne? I thought you'd be calling."

"So you've heard?"

"I work for the Times. Of course I've heard! In fact, my boss just asked me to interview you over the phone. They are considering this the wedding of the century!"

"Can it wait? I called not only to invite you to my wedding, but to ask you to be my bridesmaid."

"What, not your maid of honor?"

"Sorry, but Rachel and I promised each other that title."

"That's alright. Sisters come before cousins any day. Now about that interview…"

"How about I ring you up tomorrow? Megamind and I have some planning to do."

"Okay. The longer I wait, the more information I'll have. Bye!"

"See you."

Roxanne put the phone down and sighed.

"Well, that certainly was interesting."

She spun around to find her fiancé standing behind her.

"How long have you been standing there?"

"Long enough. I'm looking forward to meeting your sister."

"She's a big fan of yours."

"I'm flattered, really. And your mother…is not?"

"Oh, you heard that, huh?"

"I could stand ten feet away and still hear her shouting as clear as day. She doesn't like me, does she?"

"Um, no. She's just having trouble accepting the fact that you're the hero now."

"I wouldn't blame her, considering I've been kidnapping her daughter for several years."

"I was hoping that she'd come to my wedding no matter who the groom was. I wish my Dad was alive. Then he could walk me down the aisle."

Tears welled up in her eyes and Megamind put his arms around her. He hated to see his love cry. It almost hurt him as much as the idea of losing her, like he had almost done today.

"Hey," he said. "It's alright. He'd be very proud of you. At least you knew your parents, let alone your father."

Roxanne looked into his eyes. "I'm sorry, I keep forgetting that fact."

"The past is the past. We have to look to the future."

She smiled and leaned in towards him.

"Sir!" Minion cried, rushing into the Lair. "I have to know how many people you're inviting, so I know how big a cake to make!"

Megamind scowled at his friend. "Minion, how many times have I told you not to disturb us?"

"Oh, sorry. Anyway, who's coming?"

"Minion," Roxanne giggled. "The wedding isn't until August."

"It doesn't hurt to plan ahead! By the way, I'm making your wedding dress! What do you think? Traditional white or blue to match sir?"

"Surprise me."

Minion brought out a measuring tape and circled Roxanne.

"It's going to be the most beautiful dress you've ever seen! No peeking, sir. It's bad luck to see the bride in her dress before the wedding!"

The fish took down Roxanne's measurements and then went to his master.

"Minion!" Megamind complained. "What are you doing?"

"Taking your measurements, sir," the fish said. "I'm making you a new tuxedo!"

"What's wrong with the one I have now? Besides, you already have my measurements!"

"Whoa, sir! Did you know you're head has grown two inches?"

"Minion!"

"Megamind, calm down," Roxanne assured him. "I'll handle this. Minion, I for one am glad to have you as a wedding planner, but Megamind and I have to discuss a few plans on our own."

Minion caught on. "Oh! Well, I'll just go and surf the internet for some new material."

"By the way, my sister's going to be my maid of honor, so you two can plan together."

"Oh, but I don't need any help."

"People are calling this the wedding of the century. You're going to need all the help you can get."

Once the fish was gone, Megamind sighed with relief.

"He can be annoying," he groaned. "But he's my best friend. What can I do?"

"At least he's happy," Roxanne said. She laid her hands on his shoulders. "Now, where were we?"

"Roxanne, I'm not really sure about this."

She rolled her eyes. Here we go again.

"Megamind, I don't care what my mom or others say about you…"

"No, I mean I'm not sure how this wedding thing goes. Who's the old guy who stands at the front? What book is he reading? Why are little girls throwing flowers everywhere? And what does it mean 'I do?' 'I do' what?"

Roxanne had nearly forgotten that her boyfriend didn't get out much. All the same, she would have expected him to know about weddings. They had been dating for a year now.

"Let me explain it to you."

She set him in the center of the Lair. "Stand here. Let's pretend we're in front of the altar. You are standing here, wearing your gorgeous tuxedo."

"Well," Megamind stammered, reluctant to play along, "I do look gorgeous in it."

"The priest is standing in front of you, the Bible in his hands."

Megamind watched as his fiancé spread out her arms and set the scene.

"Sitting on this side of the aisle will be the bride's family. My family. On the other side will be the groom's…invited guests. People hustle into their seats as they whisper secrets about other family members.

"Then an organ plays a wedding march."

"How can an organ march?"

Roxanne giggled. "It plays a song for others to march to."

"What kind of song does it play?"

"Well, it varies. Often they play "Here Comes the Bride," but I never liked the words they put to it. We can decide on that later. Anyway, moving on. First comes the flower girl."

"They have a girl made of flowers?"

"No, it's a little girl around four or five who slowly walks down the aisle, tossing flower petals on the ground."

She imitated a girl carrying a basket and throwing petals.

"Wouldn't that be littering?" Megamind wondered.

"They clean it up later. Then comes the ring bearer."

The alien jumped. "There's a bear involved!"

Roxanne shook her head. "No, no! It's ring bearer, not ring bear. The ring bearer is a little boy who carries the wedding rings on a cushion."

She got down on her knees and pretended to hold out a pillow.

"But I already got you a ring."

"What you gave me was an engagement ring. Wedding rings are made of gold."

"These weddings don't come cheap, do they?"

She laughed. "No, I guess not. Not only do you have to give me a ring, I have to give you one."

"No offense, but rings aren't exactly…manly."

"All the men do it, so suck it up. Anyway, after the ring bearer comes the bridesmaids, escorted by the groomsmen."

"Groomsmen?"

"They're basically the bridesmaids to the groom. You have to pick three friends."

"But…I don't have that many friends."

"You'll think of something. At the end is the maid of honor, who will be Rachel, escorted by the best man."

"Best man? Why, that's Minion!"

"Now you're getting it!"

"Ooh, this is getting exciting! What comes next?"

"Well, then the music changes to a slower, more majestic mood. And then, into the light, comes the bride."

Roxanne became lost in her description. "She's wearing a beautiful gown. You can't see her face, for it is veiled. She walks at a steady pace down the aisle, carrying a bouquet of flowers, her arm linked with her father's. With every step she makes, she becomes more nervous, for she isn't sure if she's made the right choice or not."

Megamind's face fell as he imagined Roxanne in a wedding gown, looking reluctant as she came closer.

"She's about to make the biggest decision of her life, and she can't be certain if it's what she wants. Then she looks up and sees the groom standing there, looking dashing in his tuxedo. He smiles when she sees her. One look into his sparkling, emerald green eyes and she knows she's made the right choice.

"She approaches the aisle and stands next to the groom. She hands her bouquet to her father as the groom lifts the veil from her face."

Megamind mimicked this gesture, causing Roxanne to giggle.

"Then they turn to face the priest. He reads a few words from his book and then asks the groom: 'Do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, for better or worse, in sickness and in health, until death, do you part?'"

"I do," Megamind whispered.

"Then he asks me the same thing and I say 'I do.' Then the ring bearer gives us the rings and we slip them on each other's fingers."

They pretended to do so.

"And then, the priest says: 'I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride.'"

Megamind brightened up. "I think I'm going to like this wedding."

He grabbed her waist and dipped her, their lips closing into a passionate kiss.


I had this idea pounding in my head since Chapter 8 of Attack of the Mega Clones. Okay, the mom, sister and cousin are my characters. The reason Nora Ritchi's name doesn't begin with an R is because, well, I didn't think everyone in Roxanne's family would want to do that.
