After watching the movie "Megamind" and reading my new friend's (Hunger4Rightousness) fanfic, Filigree, I fell in love with Megamind and Roxanne's romance. Asking Hunger's permission to use some of the characters' names she had created in her story...I was inspired to write the following "sequel" to not only the Dreamworks Animations' storyline; but Hunger's storyline in Filigree as well. Also; please understand that even though Hunger has given me permission to use some of her characters' names; the following story you are about to read is entirely from my imagination. Even though I have contacted her and told her her story inspired me to write this...so far I have not received any ideas from her. I swear (although; some of the characters belong to Hunger) the following story is completely my work.

This is my first ever fanfiction, so I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I'm enjoying writing it. I apologize in advance for any grammer mistakes you may find.

It had been a week since the opening of the new Megamind Museum and yet, there weren't any reports of crime or evil doings since then. 'Must've done an excellent job of defeating Titan…now all the criminals are afraid of me' Megamind thought smugly as he was working on his next creation…the illiteracy beam he had always wanted to invent. He was in such deep concentration; he hadn't noticed the brainbot hovering by his side with a letter clasped in its claws.

"Bowg," it finally sounded to get his attention.

"What's this?" he replied taking the piece of white parchment from the little cyborg. Examining it very closely; he realized the letter was from Wayne as he read the following words:

Hey there little buddy,

In case she hasn't told you already…tomorrow is Roxie's birthday. I thought you would like to know, so you can find her the perfect gift. Good luck with your search.

-MM.

Oh crap. Why hasn't she informed me of this? Suddenly, he wasn't feeling very well. What was he going to do? Just as he was about to go into panic mode; a familiar Verizon Wireless ringtone sounded out he was receiving a phone call on his new cellular phone. Looking at the screen; he could quickly see that it was Roxanne calling. "Ollo?" he answered into the receiver.

"Hey, Megsie-Poo…" Okay that is new. "Can you and Minion come over soon? I have a very pleasant surprise in the works for you two."

"Really?" he replied in a rather seductive tone, "How soon do you need us there?"

"As soon as you can possibly get here," came the giggly reply on the other end. Oh, how I love the sound of that laugh.

"We'll be there as soon as we can." Megamind suddenly called out to his sidekick, "Minion…make ready the invisible car! Miss Ritchie has invited us over to her apartment for some sort of surprise!"

"Ooooh…I just love surprises!" Minion exclaimed in excitement.

This made another giggle sound out on the other end of the phone (swoon) before Roxanne replied, "Great! See you guys in a little while. Please be careful on your way here."

Good girl, Roxanne. Always looking out for the wellbeing of others. "We're both looking very forward to it," Megamind assured her.

On their way to Roxanne's apartment in the invisible car; Megamind sat there in silence; pondering about what to get his girlfriend for her birthday. Thinking about it really frustrated him. 'What would she want?' he questioned in his mind repeatedly.

Taking his eyes off of the road for a split second to look at his master; Minion could see the look of concern on Megamind's face. It had been a long while since he had seen that expression on sir's face.

"Sir, are you okay?" he questioned his master, "You look as if something is bothering you."

"Oh, Minion, I'm in real trouble" was the solemn reply.

"Trouble, Sir?" Minion replied.

"Wayne secretly informed me this morning...that tomorrow is Roxanne's birthday," Megamind breathed out in a saddened state of mind.

Pressing his master to continue further; Minion asked, "Okay…so?"

"It just occurred to me that I don't really know enough about Roxanne...to know what to get her for her birthday." Megamind finally relented. Even after all the kidnappings; he never really had the time to get to know Roxanne any better than he already had. He knew she was a reporter, she apparently liked the color red (for her living room was decorated in lots of the shade), she was definitely smart (for she always could predict was he was going to do next during her kidnappings), she had a kind heart, she could be somewhat stubborn at times and plus; her and Metro Man were NEVER a couple. 'And so beautiful too,' he added to his thoughts. Darn you, Metro Man…why did you always have to rush in to save her before I could learn anything about who she really is on the inside?

"I want to get her the perfect gift... I love her so much." Megamind sighed out with a dreamy look on his face; before it went tense again.

The rest of the trip; Minion was trying to give his master suggestions, but Megamind was too deep in thought to pay attention. Minion finally caught his attention by asking, "Sir, why don't you just ask her what she likes? Oprah says there is nothing wrong with being assertive and asking a woman what she wants."

"Minion…you watch way too much telavision", Megamind poked fun.

"Television, Sir." Minion corrected.

"That is a rather nice thought; but I can't do that," Megamind whined, "She would probably think I didn't care enough to even ask when her birthday was. I don't want to offend her."

"I don't believe Miss Ritchi is that kind of person," Minion reminded him; but Megamind just sadly turned his head to look out the car window; deep in thought once again.

Seeing that he wasn't going to receive any kind of reply this time; Minion left him alone to his silent pondering and continued along the streets of Metro City that lead to Roxanne's apartment.
