It was a warm, sunny morning in Metro City. The sun was just barely up, yet people were out and about. Most of them were going to work, others were early risers, and a few were out to have fun. Alexia was one out to have fun. She would wake up every morning to run around the park. Staying in shape was important to her. As usual, I was out there too, waiting for her. As odd as it may sound, I liked her more than I like Roxanne. Not that anyone can blame me. Roxanne had dumped me about a month ago, and I hadn't been doing the best after it.

"Code, she's here again." I informed to my watch.

"Code, she's there every day sir." Minion replied, his voice coming through the watch.

We would often communicate through their watches about Alexia. Minion wasn't too fond of it, but he would do whatever it takes to keep me happy.

"Minion, I'm well aware of that. I just hope she doesn't recognize me." I snapped.

As of now, I would go to the park every morning disguised as a random citizen. The same one every day. I had recently gone back to doing evil things, thinking it would help with my sadness. Unfortunately, it meant the town hated me again. Everyone did.

"Sir, it's going to be fine. Just be careful." Minion encouraged. "Just relax."

"Thanks Minion. I'll be back in a bit." I replied, and looked up.

Not too far away, Alexia was taking a short break. She sat on the same bench every day and looked at the city. I often saw this as an opportunity to talk to her, but often chickened out. Today though, I had the courage. I stood up, and jogged over, carrying two water bottles I had brought with me.

"Hey." I said and I approached the bench.

"Hello there!" She said happily, waving at me.

I slowed down and pointed at the bench.

"Mind if I have a seat?" I asked.

She shook her head and scooted over, patting the empty spot. I could see the swear on her forehead and arms. She must have been at it for a while. Of corse, I didn't hesitate to sit.

"Do you want some water?" I asked her, holding out a water bottle.

"Yeah, sure! I could definitely use some. Thanks." She said, taking the water.

I smiled slightly and looked at the city. My city. It was almost hard to believe that at one point, everyone loved me and expected me to protect it. I let them down though.

"I wonder what happened to Megamind." She suddenly said, holding a half empty water bottle.

I gave her a look of concern. She wanted to know something about me?

"I mean, he was such a good person...Then he suddenly went bad. That doesn't just happen. Does it?" She asked.

"Well, you know he had a girlfriend, right?" I asked her.

"Of course. Roxanne and Megamind were a cute couple. They're the reason I dyed my hair blue. The light stands for the good in their hearts and the dark stands for the evil that dares challenge Megamind." She replied.

I almost passed out. She dyed her hair because of me and Roxanne?!

"Well, the two got into a fight about a month ago. She ended up dumping him." I explained.

"Oh, that's terrible! Poor Megamind. He's probably so heartbroken." She said.

I nodded and looked at the ground. I missed Roxanne so much, but I knew I had to move on.

"I hope he finds love again. He's much happier when he's loved." Alexia stated.

"Yeah. I hope so too." I replied, trying not to look at her.

She suddenly got up and finished the water. She took s deep breath as she threw the bottle into a nearby trashcan.

"Well, I have to go. Once I finish jogging I have to go to work." She said. "I hope we meet again!"

Having said that, she took off. I felt my cheeks heat up a bit. I can't say I've never loved anyone like this before, but this felt different than Roxanne. She was actually nice to me, and didn't try to figure out all my secrets. For once, I felt like this was meant to be, and that if she were to find out who I really was, she wouldn't mind. It was something special.

"Minion, get the car and meet me at the park entrance." I demanded.

"Right away sir." Minion replied, and turned off his watch.

I stood up and got rid of my disguise. Everyone who was there stared at me and attempted to flee, but it didn't bother me. That is, until she saw me. She turned the corner to grab something she had left behind and saw me.

"M-Megamind." She stuttered, backing up slowly.

I felt my heart break. She was terrified of me. The opposite of what I thought would happen. I let out a sigh and turned around, taking the long way to the entrance - that is, until someone stopped me.

"Wait!" The voice said.

I turned around, and there, about 7 feet away, was Roxanne. I felt my heart break a little more. She left me, and just her being there brought back memories. I wanted to run away, but my legs wouldn't move.

"Megamind, I'm sorry for what I did. Please, forgive me." She begged.

"No..." I said quietly.

"What was that?" She asked.

"No! You hurt me! You left me and didn't come back! You're the reason I'm evil again!" I yelled, clenching my fists.

I caught a glimpse of Alexia coming forward a bit. She seemed more interested in this conversation. Well, I did tell her what happened.

"You're the one who said those things to me! You called me a hooker and tried to send me to the strip club!" Roxanne snapped back.

"Well you should you dirty cheater!" I yelled.

Roxanne had no comment. She just wiped her eyes and walked away quickly. Seeing her like that made me want to cry, but I couldn't whip up any tears.

"Megamind." Alexia said softly, approaching me slowly.

I looked at her, a bit surprised. Everyone else had fled the park because of me, yet here she was.

"I'm going to call off work. You need to talk to someone about this." She said.

I shook my head, "No no. I'm fine."

"Megamind, listen to me. I know what you're dealing with and the only way to get over it is to talk to someone." She urged.

He looked at her, almost with puppy eyes. He didn't want to do this, but he knew she wouldn't give up that easily.

"Fine. We'll talk at my evil lair. I'm most comfortable there." He said.

"Alright. I'm gonna head home to get changed. Meet me here in about a half hour." She replied.

I nodded, looking down a bit. I jumped when I suddenly felt a pair of arms around me. I was lucky she couldn't see my face, otherwise I might have been in trouble.

"I'll see you then." She replied and ran off.

I stood there for a minute, shocked. I just got a hug from her. An actual hug! Perhaps this would turn out to be something special.
