This is set post-movie. I think this would be good for a sequel!

Disclaimer: I do not own Megamind (I wish)

When Roxanne gained consciousness, she realized she couldn't move, because her ankles and wrists were tied. This hasn't happened in a while. She glanced around and realized she was sitting in the old kidnapping chair in the part of the Lair that was made to look like an observatory. In front of her was Megamind's large spinning black leather chair, the blue-skinned alien turning to face her.

"Miss Ritchi," he said in a low voice, "we meet at last."

She didn't know how to respond. This wasn't the first time they had met, so why was he using this particular phrase?

"Megamind, what's going on?"

"Scream in terror, Miss Ritchi! For you are now in the clutches of Megamind: Incredibly Handsome Criminal Genius and Master of All Villainy!"

Roxanne raised an eyebrow. Megamind had his arms up in a dramatic pose. He then glanced down confused and looked to her side.

"Minion?" he whispered. "Why isn't she screaming?"

The fish bent down and lay a hand on her shoulder. "Miss Ritchi, if you don't mind?"

"Did you not hear what I just said? You are now in my clutches!"

Roxanne could have sworn she had heard all of this dialogue before. I mean, it was almost the same thing during every kidnapping, but these exact words reminded her of a particular one. Okay, so if he's going to play this game…

"So now that you have me, Megamind," Roxanne said, playing along, "what are you going to do with me?"

Megamind's expression changed to one of pure evil as he moved closer to her.

"I will answer that with two words, Miss Ritchi…"

He whispered in her ear, "Happy Anniversary."

The alien pressed his lips against hers and Roxanne closed her eyes with pleasure. Of course, it was April 15th, the day he had first kidnapped her eight years ago! Roxanne smirked as he pulled his face away.

"So in order to celebrate," she said, "you decided to reenact our first kidnapping."

"Pretty unpredictable, huh?" her boyfriend smiled.

"Well, yes, actually. But what's so special about it? I mean, your days of being evil aren't really something I want to remember."

"It may not seem important to you, but to me, it was the day we first met. Even then, I was attracted to you."

Roxanne giggled. "I'll admit, I didn't think you were that scary."

"I could tell that when you didn't scream. After all, I am devilishly handsome."

"So what other dastardly plans do you have for us today?"

"Minion's preparing us breakfast."

"Which reminds me," the fish said, "I left the stove on!"

He rushed downstairs to the kitchen, his robotic feet clanking against the floor.

"Also," Megamind continued, "I'm taking you to dinner tonight at a restaurant that I think you know well."

Roxanne's smile faded. She remembered a certain restaurant they went to almost a year ago around this time. That had been the night when she discovered that Bernard was really Megamind in disguise, and she had left him alone in the rain.

"You don't mean that restaurant, do you?" she asked her boyfriend.

"I'll admit," Megamind said with a melancholic expression, "that wasn't one of my fondest memories, but I thought since we've been together for close to a year now, we could do-over that date."

"Actually…that's not a bad idea. I promise I won't dump you this time."

"And besides, that was also the night I first got to do this."

He kissed her again and they both drowned in each other's passion.

"Though there's one thing I don't understand," Roxanne said.

"And what's that?" Megamind asked, still in his dream state.

"Why am I still tied up?"

"Oh, right!"

He began untying her wrists and ankles.

"Were they too tight?" he asked.

"No," Roxanne shrugged. "I'm sort of used to them now."

That afternoon, the Metro City Bank was being robbed and Roxanne was outside of the building, giving the report.

"Once again," she said into the camera, "Metro City Bank is being robbed and the thieves are holding the unfortunate citizens inside hostage. Police are reluctant to go in, due to the fact that innocent lives will be at risk. Will Metro City's hero be able to save the day?"

As if on cue, Megamind, wearing his black cape, spikes and custom baby seal leather boots, flew in on his hover bike, a swarm of Brainbots following.

"Right on time," Roxanne muttered.

Minion emerged from the invisible car and turned on his stereo…playing a Taylor Swift song.

"Minion!" Megamind complained.

"Sorry, sir!" Minion called, switching the music to AC/DC.

A Brainbot handed a microphone to the blue hero.

"Alright!" he said, his voice echoing through the streets. "Release the citizens of Metrocity and come out with your hands up!"

A masked figure emerged, waving a gun. "First off, it's Metro City, and second, no way, José!"

The thief slammed the glass door and Megamind shouted, "Who is this José? I'm Megamind, Defender of Metrocity!"

Roxanne couldn't help but giggle as her camerawoman got the scene on tape.

"I warned you," Megamind continued. "Now things will have to get messy! Brainbots, attack!"

Two of the Brainbots opened the glass doors so the rest could swarm in and snatch up the crooks. It all happened so fast that the thieves didn't have a chance. Megamind hopped off of his bike and entered the bank, pointing his Dehydration Gun at the trapped criminals.

"Thing about bad guys," he smirked. "They always lose!"

The hostages were untied and the thieves were escorted into the police cars. Reporters from all channels were circling Megamind.

"How did you come up with this plan?"

"What was your strategy?"

"Who are you wearing?"

"Uh…" Megamind stammered. "I don't know, but I certainly hope it isn't someone I know."

His lips brightened into a smile once he saw his girlfriend emerge from the crowd. Being good does have its perks.

"So Megamind," Roxanne said into her mic, "is there any comment you would like to add on today's victory?"

"Well, Miss Ritchi," the hero replied into the mic, "I'd just like to say that crime never pays! I should know. I never paid one cent."

The crowd chuckled.

"So, uh…those kids who are watching, don't do drugs and stay in shool!"

"School," Roxanne whispered.

"Yes, school!"

He then leaned in and muttered to his girlfriend, "See you tonight."

The hero leapt back onto his hover bike and disappeared down the street, along with his Brainbots and Minion, who was in the invisible car. Roxanne turned toward the camera.

"And thus, another stunning performance from your hero, and mine, Megamind. What will this incredible being do next? This is Roxanne Ritchi, reporting live from Metro City Bank."

She signaled her camerawoman to cut. Lizzie was a twenty-four-year-old blond who was hired after her previous cameraman, Hal, had turned into a villain.

"So what was he talking about when he said he'll see you tonight?" she asked after switching the camera off.

"It's the anniversary of our first kidnapping," Roxanne explained. "He's taking me to dinner."

Lizzie raised an eyebrow. "He's celebrating the first time he kidnapped you? That's not really romantic."

"It means a lot to him."

"I know you guys have been going out for almost a year now, but I'm still having trouble processing that."

Even after Megamind had saved the city dozens of times, people continued to have issues about his villainous past.

"You should have seen what he did this morning."

Roxanne explained the event to Lizzie.

"Wow," the camerawoman gasped. "I don't know whether to call that sweet or just plain creepy."

The reporter laughed. "You just don't know Megamind like I do."

After all, he was doing his best to make today special. Roxanne figured that if he was going to go through all of this effort, she might do so as well.

Megamind was getting ready for his date with Roxanne. He was trying to decide between his white or black tuxedo. Roxanne had said that he looked good in white, but black was more classic and daring. White was a heroic color, but black fit better with his skin. I'm starting to sound like Minion.

It was that thought that made him decide to ask the fish for his opinion.

"Minion, what do you…?"

When he was supposed to be watching the monitors for crime, the fish was instead, watching a soap opera.

"Minion!"

He spun around.

"What did I say about watching those girly soup operas while on duty?"

"It's soap opera, sir," Minion corrected him, turning his attention back to the screen. "I'm sorry, but I had to watch this! I think Harry's going to propose to Shelley!"

Megamind raised an eyebrow. "Pray-pose?"

"Propose, sir. You know, it's something humans do when a man asks a woman to marry him."

"Marry?"

"When a man and woman are in love…"

"I know what marry-age is, Minion!"

The fish asked him to be quiet as the man on screen got down on one knee, took out a small box with a diamond ring and said, "Shelley, will you marry me?"

The woman gasped and screamed, "Yes!"

As the characters embraced in a passionate kiss, it left Megamind wondering. He and Roxanne had been dating for almost a year now. Could it have been time to take the next step?

"Minion," Megamind muttered to his friend, "does the ring have to be a diamond?"

"Not always, sir. At least, I don't think so."

"Does the woman always say yes?"

"Well, no. It all depends on who's asking."

It shouldn't have surprised the blue alien how much Minion knew about these things. The smile spread across the fish's face as he turned toward his master.

"Why the sudden interest, sir?" he asked.

Megamind blinked. "Just curious."

"Uh huh."

Just then, a siren sounded and Megamind immediately switched the screen to a map of the city. A red dot was flashing in one area.

"Someone's activated the burglar alarm at Harold's Jewelers," he observed. "Minion, to the invisible car!"

"But sir," Minion protested, "what about your date?"

Megamind paused. If this robbery took longer than expected, then he'd be late for his dinner with Roxanne.

"Roxanne will understand," he said. "Now where did you park the invisible…? Oomph!"

Minion jumped as his master bumped into something. I really have to be more careful where I park that thing.

"…car?"

By the way, what do you guys think? Black or white tuxedo?
