WOOHOO! Here we go! A fic! This original idea came from tumblr user followmetoyourdoom. It was a really great idea, so I just HAD to make it into a one-shot. As you read you may find that I have watched 27 Dresses one too many times! :)

I was pretty excited that I was able to fit this in there along with all my other oneshots! (I think some fun will come from it too when in my sequel we get closer to the wedding!). I figure this would be placed (timeline wise) a few months or so perhaps before where the movie begins.

Always the Bridesmaid, Never the Bride

When a girl is asked to be a bridesmaid, there are a few things she can expect; the awkward meeting and planning with bridesmaids she doesn't necessarily know, the inevitable bridezilla freak-out, and an ugly dress that no one likes except the bride. However, Roxanne Ritchi could tack on one more item to her list; the inevitable chance that she would be kidnapped at some point during the wedding.

The wedding was that of a work friend of Roxanne's, Karen. They had been working together for a few years; since Roxanne's start at the station, and had formed a friendship from there. But, knowing the bride's particular sense of style Roxanne knew she was in for a very...interesting dress.

The dress itself was a shiny shade of dark green that the designer had described as olive but Roxanne thought looked more like steamed spinach. The poufy shoulders were off-set to rest at her shoulders and the body was tight, clinging down to her knees where it then ended in a tea-length puff. It was, in all honesty, hideous. She knew she wasn't the only uncomfortable one as they all stood in their line at the altar, and shuffled around awkwardly during their photos.

"Ugh I can't wait to get this thing off so I can burn it..." Roxanne grumbled, pulling at the sides uncomfortably. She and Reena had hurried off to the bathroom after the photos, needing a few moments away from the crowd and to complain about their awful attire.

"Oh come on, the best part of wearing this God awful thing is so that some hot drunken groomsman can rip it off with his teeth." Reena replied.

"Got your eyes set on someone already then?" Roxanne teased.

"Yes. And I'm surprised you don't...but then again I do know you're a little more..shy about your bedroom exploits." Reena wasn't one to normally rush into bed with just any man, but sometimes a simple little one night stand, especially after a wedding, was just what a girl needed...in her opinion anyway. "I'm shocked you didn't at least bring a date."

"Oh yes, because there's nothing like a wedding to remind you that you're single." Roxanne replied.

"You know you always could have brought Wonder Boy...or perhaps you had another certain devilish man in mind-"

"Alright...that's enough." Roxanne stopped her friend. "Might as well get back out there.."

Roxanne was pleasantly surprised that she had made it all the way through to the cocktail hour without being kidnapped. But she knew she had more or less jinxed herself when, right before the beginning of the reception, she stepped out for a quick breath of fresh air and saw that familiar furry arm poke out from around a bush and blast her with a dose of the knock out spray.

The all too familiar smelly bag was lifted off her head and the blue face she knew too well came into view.

"You couldn't even give me one day? I was at a wedding Megamind!" Of course she knew he knew she had been at a wedding; she doubted there wasn't very much that he didn't know about her life and social engagements. But she couldn't let the opportunity to show her aggravation slip by.

"Well well..always the bridesmaid, never the bride it would seem Miss Ritchi. If you just ask, I could change that you know..." his voice dropped low as he leaned into her.

"Oh you mean you can find me a tall, handsome man with a great sense of humor and intelligence to match? Why didn't you say so sooner?" She retorted.

"Oh-ho-ho" He laughed. "Well in case you haven't noticed, which I am sure you have, I am incredibly handsome and intelligent!"

"Uh-huh..you're missing the tall part there bud."

Megamind huffed in annoyance and stood up straight before he flicked his cape angrily, grumbling.

"You know green really isn't your color Miss Ritchi." He watched as she squirmed and couldn't stop the smirk that tugged the corners of his lips. He couldn't believe he was thinking it but even Roxanne couldn't pull off that monstrosity. "I mean really; what do you even call that color? Vomit?"

"It's really not that bad...it's the lighting in here. You always keep it so dark. In the light it's really quite...nice." Roxanne attempted to defend the dress. She knew it was awful; but she also knew how much Karen had liked it. And a good bridesmaid always tried to stand by the bride and her decisions.

"Uh-huh. Right. I'm sure. Admit it, it's terrible. You look like a shiny mermaid."

"Oh come on...it's not that bad. This color is really very in."

"Sure, you keep telling yourself that. It's terrible. But really you should be flattered; she clearly didn't want to stand next to a tall, beautiful woman and have you actually looking decent."

Roxanne didn't quite know how to respond to that. Instead she remained silent a moment, staring at the dress before moving her gaze to his.

"And I suppose you have a better suggestion?" she questioned.

"As a matter of fact I do my dear; you'd look much more stunning in black, or even better; blue."

"Keep dreaming."

"You know what I really don't understand? Why do brides insist on picking the ugliest dress they can and forcing their friends to wear it? I mean really; it's like an instrument of torture!"

"I'm surprised you know what torture really looks like."

"AHA! So you admit it's a device of torture used to make you suffer!" he practically hopped forward; excited to have the one-up on her for once.

"...I never said that. You're putting words in my mouth." damn. He almost had her there. "Look can we just hurry this all up? I'd like to get back to the wedding and eat. Or ya know; at the very least get home so I can change."

"If it's getting out of your dress that you desire, I can most certainly help." Megamind said, his voice dropping to that low and sultry tone once again.

"Hmm..Somehow I don't think so." she replied, her tone matching his.

"One day Miss Ritchi you will find yourself most unable to resist my charm..."

"Charm? Is that what we're calling it now?"

"Always the funny one, aren't you? We'll see who's laughing in the end!"

The rest of Megamind's plan had barely been able to begin before Metro Man came bursting in.

"Oh how did you even know this time!?"

"Seems you were a little slow on this one Megamind. A call came in on Roxie's behalf; she's a very missed guest of a wedding. I should be getting her back. I'll let you off on a free pass this time Megamind; for being thoughtful enough to not wreck any buildings this time. I'd hate to get dirty before heading back to the party." Megamind wasn't about to question this one; it had been a sort of secret pass that the two had created in the past years. If Megamind hadn't had a real plan in motion he wouldn't wreck a building and Metro Man wouldn't cart him off to jail; if he made it easy for the hero that was. It didn't happen very often, but every now and then the exchange would occur. Roxanne herself could care less who was saving her and who wasn't being thrown in jail. As long as she could get free of that rope and out of that chair, no matter what happened after, it was one step closer to getting out of that dress! The villain sighed, running the idea over for a moment. He supposed his fun was up; for now anyway.

"Oh fine. Have it your way Metro Mahn. We will meet again Miss Ritchi. Oh and Metro Mahn? If you wouldn't mind using the door this time?"

Once they were in the air, Metro Man couldn't stop the chuckle that left him.

"What so funny?"

"Oh ...it's nothing at all Roxie. It's just...what the hell are you wearing?"

And that's a wrap! It definitely came out different than I had originally intended but I think it works out well! What do you think?! :)
