One day, not too long ago, on a busy Metro City street, two teenage girls, both pretty brunettes with blue eyes, both fifteen with great ambitions, brushed shoulders. That tiny bit of contact would change both their lives forever. In the story you know, Megamind, watching from above, chose to follow the slightly older girl, Roxanne Ritchi, junior news reporter. But in this story, in this world, he followed Maggie Madison, junior fiction author, instead.

A small choice between two beauties would change all of their lives forever.

***Break***

"Ollo, Maggie," Megamind greeted, swiveling around in his chair. "It seems we meet again!"

"I like your choice in laundry soaps," Maggie commented as the bag was lifted from her head and her hands tied behind her back. "Smells like...Classic?"

"Actually, it's Gain, Miss Madison," Minion corrected, and Maggie's face scrunched up in disgust.

"Please, Minion; don't call me that," Maggie pleaded. She had always hated the sound of her last name.

"Scream all you want, Meghan, but I'm afraid no one can hear you!" Megamind exclaimed, cupping his hand to his ear in anticipation. Maggie didn't make a sound, just smiled at her captor. He never ceased to amuse her. "Why isn't she screaming?" Megamind asked, turning to Minion.

"Would you mind, Miss Madison?"

"Stop calling me Miss Madison and I'll kiss him," Maggie joked.

"Like this," Megamind said before letting out a high-pitched scream to show her how it was done. "But that's a poor lady scre-EEEEEEEEH!" Megamind cried, clutching his hand where his brainbot had bit him. Maggie chuckled a little, trying not to show it.

"So where do you get all your Tesla coils and blinking dials?" Maggie asked, trying to readjust her glasses without using her hands.

"Actually most of it comes from an outlet store in—" Minion started, helping Maggie by pushing the young woman's glasses back up the bridge of her nose.

"Don't answer that!" Megamind cried, but Minion finished only a few seconds later with,

"—Romania."

"Don't!" Megamind cried, flying forward in his swivel chair and yanking Maggie's glasses off her face.

"That was rude!" she objected, though she was still smiling in amusement as Megamind talked right over top of her.

"She's using her talent of the written word on your weak little mind to make us spill our secrets for her...her...stories! Such tricks won't work on me, Miss Maggie," he warned, shaking her own glasses in her face while trying to look frightening.

"Please, as my friend Roxanne might say, talk slower," Maggie said, pretending to be flirtatious.

"Temptress!" Megamind accused, swiveling around her chair. Maggie smiled. She had been called many things in her life, but temptress had never been one of them.

"What secrets might you have?" Maggie asked. "After all, you are extremely predictable!"

"Predictable!" Megamind exclaimed, clearly insulted. "You call this predictable!" he demanded, throwing a lever.

"Alligators? Yes. Book three, Chapter eighteen, page 64, plot device nine!" Maggie exclaimed, counting off her use of one of Megamind's favorite tricks.

"What's this? BOOM, in your face!" he cried, unleashing a gun before Maggie's very (blind) eyes.

"No fear can be shown by the blind!"

"Look at this!"

"Don't see a thing!"

"Shocking!"

"Didn't see it coming, and I still don't!"

"OH, so SCARY!"

"OH, I'd better look out!"

"WHAT'S THIS DO!"

"Megamind, I'm serious!" Maggie finally called out, looking a little irritated. "It's a little hard to accurately deflate your ego when I can't see what you're throwing at me!" Megamind looked over at his captive and was a little surprised to find that he still held her glasses in his hands.

"Oops. How'd these get here?" he asked a little guiltily, shutting off his devices of death and crossing the room to set Maggie's glasses carefully back upon her face.

"Thank you," she said very politely as Megamind backed away, then squinted up at Megamind's head. "Is that what I think it is?" she asked, and Megamind tried to follow her gaze, but didn't see anything. "Megamind, I think it's poisonous!" Maggie yelled, and Minion screamed, but Megamind just turned round and round, trying to find what she was talking about.

Suddenly the spider scuttled down from his head to land on his nose, and Megamind screamed. "MINION, KILL IT!" he shouted, and Minion obediently smacked the spider, sending Megamind to the ground. Maggie flinched as Minion began to stomp on it. "IT BIT ME! I'M DYING, I'M—"

"It's a wolf-spider!" Maggie informed the villain, beginning to laugh. Megamind looked embarrassed as he stood up, brushing himself off with Minion's help.

"That wasn't very nice!" Megamind said in indignation.

"I'm sorry," Maggie apologized, still recovering. "I couldn't help myself!"

"Let's stop wasting time and call your boyfriend in tights, shall we?"

"Not my boyfriend!" Maggie insisted.

"Riiiight," Megamind sarcasticated before turning to Minion. "The screens, Minion, the screens!" the blue man called, and Maggie shook her head with a small smile. As with all his plans, this venture was, no doubt, destined to fail.
