AN: I don't own anything Megamind. I just borrow with abandon. Be nice

Part 1 Minion Missing

*Knock, knock, knock*

The sound reverberated throughout the room, disturbing the single occupant. With a sigh, Roxanne Richie got up to answer the door.

"Yes? Who is it?" She asked, looking though the peephole on her door. Noticing that it was a frequent visitor that usually doesn't knock (he usually just comes in through the back), she unlocked the door. But, being the smart reporter woman she is, she leaves the chain connected to the door still.

"What do you want, Megamind?" She asked. "It's not my usual kidnapping day. I hope you know that it's also my day off."

The person behind the door was non-other than the bane of her existence. Very skinny, great big head, all dressed in black leather and spikes. Not to mention that he's a popular primary color – the color Blue. He also just happens to be wearing a not-so-evil look on his face.

"Miss Richie! Please – don't close the door in my face. It's imporiytant!" Megamind hurriedly exclaimed. "It's Minion – he's missing! Please! You've gotta help me!"

'Minion? Where would he have gone off to? He's never very far away from his best friend/boss. Something must be terribly wrong for him to be gone.' she thought to herself. 'It must be bad, because Megamind said "please."'

Unclasping the chain, she opened the door. Moving aside, she let the blue alien inside her apartment.

"Alright, let me get some better clothes on, and I will be right with you." Showing him to the couch, she beckoned him to sit.

Going to her bedroom, she got on a comfortable pair of blue jeans and a t-shirt. Walking back to her living room, she almost burst out laughing at the sight before her eyes.

It was Megamind, anxiously chewing on his fingers. 'Man, that must not feel good, if he's looking as if all he wants to do is cry, but can't. Must be bad for his image – hence him chewing on his fingers. Must be a nervous habit.'

"Alright, Megamind. Lets go find your friend Minion." With that, she ushered him out of the apartment.

He docilely follows, which to Roxanne, was a very bad sign. He's never docile about anything. He's usually very flamboyant. And all he worries about is presentation.

"Thanka you, Miss Richie. I don't know what I'd do without Minion. He's my best fwreend." Megamind told her, knuckling away his tears, making it look as if he wasn't crying.

Nodding her acceptance of his words, Roxanne walked out of her apartment building, waving goodbye to Carlos, her doorman.

Stepping out onto the street, she turned to him. "Alright Megamind. Where should we start to look?"

"I don't know. That's why I came to get you. I don't even have the faintest clue about where he is. I looked in all his usual places." he whined, trying to not look like an overgrown child.

"Did you check the pet stores? The beaches? The Aquarium?" She named off names, each time getting a nod of the head to each one.

"Doesn't he have a tracking device in his gorilla suit?" She asked him.

Megamind just looked at her, dumbstruck. 'Why didn't I think of that?' he thought to himself. 'If I had thought of that, I wouldn't have needed to bother Roxanne.'

Outloud, he said, "Yes he does. And no," he started, noticing that she was going to ask if he thought of that until now, "I haven't thought of checking for the tracking deviece. Thank you Roxanne. That was a big help. Now, I'm going back to the Lair and activating the deviece."

With that said, Megamind just walked off, leaving Roxanne in the middle of the sidewalk, with a bemused look on her face. 'Man, I need to stun him more often. He looked kinda cute with a dumbstruck look on his face.'

Now that she was out already, she decided to go to the store. She needed stuff for dinner and she wasn't in the mood to order take-out. Maybe she should make stir-fry. With that thought in mind, she walked off, with a slight smile on her face. 'Maybe, Megamind isn't all bad, afterall.'
