Attention fans of my last story, Sadie Hawkins Dance! Remember when I said I had an idea for a shorter, one-chapter story? Well, here it is! Fluff, fluff, and more fluff :D Just a random idea I had while looking up the meanings of different rose colors for a reason I do not remember...


Roxanne let out a heavy sigh, stressed by the very sight of the large pile of paperwork that had just been dropped on her desk. "You have got to be kidding me," she moaned, massaging her temples. It was almost ten o'clock at night, and the reporter was fairly certain that this qualified as working overtime, seeing as she had been there since eight this morning, with only an hour break in between. This hardly felt like it should be part of the job. An assistant wouldn't go unwanted if offered. But no, she had to do it for herself. Oh well. That was how she did a lot of things.

She was almost done when her cell phone buzzed against the desk. She was happier than she had been all day when she saw that it was her favorite blue alien calling.

"Hi," she said tiredly.

"Hi… Um, how did you know it was me?"

"Caller ID. Surely you've heard of it," she teased.

"Of course I've heard of it, Roxanne. I just didn't know you had it."

She chuckled at him and continued with her work. "So what's up?"

"Oh, I just wanted to tell you that I'll probably be out all night on hero duty," he told her.

"But we were supposed to go out tonight," she complained. After all this work, she was hoping for at least a night out with her boyfriend.

"I know, and I'm sorry. But I left you a surprise at your apartment!"

She perked up a little bit. "Really?"

"Yeah! So hurry up so you can go see it."

"Okay, I'll try," she laughed. She sighed happily after hanging up. "He's so cute."


Roxanne felt like she was going to collapse as she took the elevator up to her apartment. She was anxious to see what Megamind's surprise was, of course, but she didn't exactly have the energy to jump up and down right now. She dragged her feet down the hall and opened her door. All the lights were off when she got inside, which was odd. It wasn't like her or Megamind to do that.

She dropped her purse and coat by the door and flipped the lights on. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary from what she could see. But then she walked into the kitchen and found a piece of paper titled "Rose Color Meanings". In a vase near the coffee maker was a single, thorn-less red rose. She smiled as she picked it up, and then glanced at the paper. Red (single) – "I love you". Her blue eyes drifted further down the list to a section marked "Roses by the Numbers." Thorn-less rose – love at first sight. Then further: A single rose of any color depicts utmost devotion, she read to herself.

Knowing Megamind, there was no way this was the only part of the surprise; Roxanne kept walking through the apartment. Sure enough, on the coffee table in the living room were six pink roses. She checked the list again. It had a few meanings. Pink – appreciation, "Thank you", grace, perfect happiness, admiration, gentleness, "Please Believe Me". Six Roses signify a need to be loved or cherished.

"Thank you for what?" she wondered aloud. "Hmm." She brushed it off – there were more roses to be found!

The next treasure was on the corner of the bathroom sink: a yellow one with red tips. Friendship, falling in love. She had to assume that falling in love was what he was going for.

The last place Roxanne checked was the bedroom. She took a step back when she saw that her mattress had been littered with burgundy roses. She quickly noticed that these ones had thorns, and was careful when picking up the note that lay in the middle of the bed.

Roxanne read it out loud. "I love you, Roxanne Ritchi. Thank you for loving me when no one else would, and please believe me when I say that you make me happier than I ever thought I could be, and I cherish you with all my alien heart. I've been falling more and more in love with you since the day we met, no matter how many times you made fun of my genius plans." She giggled at the comment, then kept reading. "If you'll read the meaning of burgundy roses you'll see that it is unconscious beauty." She double checked. "I don't think you realize just how beautiful you are in my eyes and what you mean to me."

As a warm tear slowly ran down her cheek, she suddenly felt two arms snake around her waist from behind, causing her to jump with a little yelp.

"And I'm never letting you go," a familiar voice whispered into her ear, finishing the note.

She laughed as she quickly realized that it was Megamind. She turned in his arms and put her hands on his chest. "I thought you were working late," she said.

"I lied," he stated easily.

Roxanne cocked an eyebrow at him and smirked. "What is all this for?"

"Don't you know?"

She shook her head.

"My sweet Roxanne," he mused. "It's our anniversary."

She pulled back a little. "What? No it's not!" No way would Roxanne ever let herself forget their anniversary, and today was not it.

"Yes it is," he insisted calmly.

"No it isn't."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No!"

"The anniversary of the first time I kidnapped you, Roxanne!"

The reporter froze. He remembered that day? She didn't. How could she? It was many years ago. "How-"

"My big head isn't just for decoration," he chuckled.

Roxanne smiled at him. She always knew she was lucky to be with such an incredible man, alien or not, but now she was certain that no one's boyfriend was a sweet and loving as hers. Just the thought of knowing that they would be together for the rest of their lives made her feel like she could do anything.


Another ending that I do not like :P But what I do like is that Megamind included each meaing in the note and wrote them in bold :D How ingenious of him XD

Review please!
