Hello, my beautiful,wonderful readers, if you're still there. I know it's been a long time since my last update, but don't think that I've given up on this story. This will be the last chapter, and I'm happy to have finally finished it. I apologize for how long it's taken, but I've been absolutely swamped with activities, and have been having computer troubles. Anyways, enjoy the chapter!
He had been frantically preparing all week. He had planned an extravagant dinner, and had gone through the trouble of cleaning the entire mansion. It felt that every day that pass from when he originally asked her out, the more anxious he became.
Today was finally the day. 5:30 was fast approaching, and his nerves were raw with anxiety. He couldn't figure out what was driving him so crazy. Normally, he's ladies man, but this week, he couldn't have felt any less smooth.
His thoughts spun in the mad circles around the date. What was he going to wear? What was he going to say? There wasn't the faintest idea of what to do in his mind. His only hope was Megamind's and Roxanne's relationship. As a reporter, Maria would be dying to find out. With any luck, that would be enough to start a conversation.
He was currently staring at his dresser, attempting to decide what to wear. A part of him wanted to wear a tux, and another part of his mind told him to keep it casual. After about 15 minutes of debating, he decided on an outfit that would be a compromise. His shirt would be a nice, button up, plaid shirt and he would wear a regular pair of jeans for bottoms. Loafers and a jacket would round off the ensemble.
He double checked to make sure the bouquet of roses were on the table, and the homemade pasta was on the table before leaving. He sighed. This was about as ready as he'd ever be.
He took off flying towards the news building where Maria had told him to pick her up. He was a few minutes early, and hoped she didn't mind.
Hesitantly, he entered her office. Much to his relief, she smiled brightly and asked "What took you so long?"
"Oh just the usual." He stammered. He noticed she looked very pretty in her simple outfit. She wore a simple white, dress with a gold, studded belt and gold embellishments on her shoulders.
"Don't just stand there staring." She teased. "Let's go!"
Partially regaining his senses, he gently scooped her up bridal style, and took off from the balcony back to the Scott's mention.
He was absolutely astounded when he walked in to the mansion. Everything had been spray-painted pink, and various messages had been written on the walls. Some said 'Will you marry me?' and others said 'I love you.'
"W-what's all this?" Maria stuttered, obviously confounded.
" I don't know." He growled through gritted teeth. He silently fumed to himself. Whoever ruined his house would pay dearly.
Moments later the hover-bike crashed through his window. Upon it were Megamind and Roxanne Ritchie, but both of them were dressed rather unusually. Roxanne had a crown of roses on her head and was wearing a light pink, one shouldered, toga-like dress with a slit up the right side almost to the middle of her thigh. Megamind, on the other hand, was wearing a Roman style white toga and was holding a faux bow with arrows that had hearts for arrow heads. He noticed that the hover bike had been spray-painted pink and white as well, and had cans behind it, attached to strings with a sign said 'just married.'
"I am Eros," Megamind announced in a devilish voice.
"And I am Psyche." Roxanne finished in an equally suspicious voice.
"And we're are here to make all of your dating dreams come true!" They said together, much like they had a rehearsed it. Oh good God above, this was their revenge.
With that last statement Megamind proceeded to shoot arrows everywhere, with one hitting him in his shoulder and another Maria on her back. Several more were scattered about the room.
"Have fun on your date." Roxanne grinned evilly. Finally they exited the way they came; they crashed back through the window and sped away.
After they left, he felt a lot calmer. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a small metal gadget that must have cracked off of his shoulder. Then, he examined the flat tips on the arrows where there was Velcro and noticed a small magnet set into the middle of the arrowhead.
He hesitantly turned to see Maria's reaction. "Oh. M. G! Megamind and Roxanne Ritchie?" She squealed. "Don't tell me that they got together!"
"Thanks to yours truly." He smirked like a Cheshire cat.
"No way!" She giggled.
"Yes way."
"How?" She begged.
"I sabotage them. I suspected they had feelings for each other, so during one of Megamind's kidnappings, I tied them together and force them to admit how they felt, while masquerading as 'Cupid man.' "
"That was genius!" She cackled.
"Thank you." He grinned. "They swore revenge on me, and I'm pretty sure this is what they meant. But I still don't understand why they were saying they were 'Eros' and 'Psyche.' "
"Oh that's an old Greek myth. In the myth Psyche was a very beautiful woman who many men fell in love with, but she refused them all. Aphrodite, growing jealous, had cursed the land and didn't allow anyone to fall in love. Eventually, she was forced by the other gods to do her duties again, but she had her son Eros, or better known as cupid go to curse Psyche to fall in love with some hideous creature, but instead he accidentally pricked his own finger with his arrow and fell in love with her instead.
Cupid pleaded with Aphrodite for her love and grudgingly she granted. Psyche was sent to the top of the tallest mountain in the area, were supposedly a horrible just lived, whom she was supposed to marry as a sacrifice. Psyche was told that she had been summoned to marry a wonderful God and she believed it at first. When she arrived at the mountain, her husband only visited her at night and she could not see him. He had a lovely voice and was kind to her in every way
One day she grew lonesome and asked to visit her family. Her husband obliged and allowed her to go. He mother and her sisters then convinced her that her husband was actually the horrible beast that was supposed to live on top of the mountain. At the end of the day she returned, and awaited her husband to make his nightly visit. She asked why she couldn't see him, and he responded that she was not ready yet.
That night, fearing that he was a horrible beast, she followed him to where he slept, taking a lantern to gazed upon him and a knife to kill him if he was the beast. What she saw surprised her. Instead of the beast that she was expecting, she saw the most beautiful of the gods, Eros. A drop of hot wax from the lantern landed on his shoulder, and awoke him.
Enraged, he cast her away from his side and Psyche had to perform several labors in order to earn his forgiveness again. He eventually took pity on her, and made her immortal, where they lived happily ever after."
He sat and listened attentively during her entire speech. From what he could tell, she seemed pretty into what she was saying.
As soon as she finished, she blushed a deep red. "Sorry, I can be a bit of a nerd sometimes." She apologized.
"No, it's fine. It was really interesting. It makes a lot more sense now." he responded sincerely.
"So..." she drawled."How'd you know they had the hots for each other? The suspense is killing me."
"Here, sit down, and I'll tell you all about it."
Meanwhile, back at the lair, Megamind and Roxanne were gloating over their successful plan.
"Did you see their faces when they walked in?" Roxanne giggled.
"Yes! Did you see how worried he was about we had the mood control device on him?" Megamind laughed hysterically.
"Definitely! And the magnet on the arrow was the perfectly neutralize the device." Roxanne raved.
"I can't believe he didn't notice the brain bot attach it to him!"
The two continued laughing until Roxanne finally said, "Revahnge sure is sweet."
Yay! That's finally done. I wrote this entire chapter, by speaking into my phone, Because my laptop has decided not to work for me. I am sorry to say that I will not be making another sequel to 'We're dating you idiot.', like what was requested. However I plan on writing another story that will most likely be entitled 'illusion.' I will most likely started after a few of my other stories have been finished. Be sure to let me know what you think in the reviews, because I love you hearing what you think. Reviews inspire me, (and secretly boost my self-esteem.)
