"What was that, Sidekick?" Tim asked as he flew over to his seat next to the teacher.
Sasha stared blankly at Tim, she couldn't bring herself to speak again. Her body shook but Megamind looked lost and hurt. Minion swam around in his round fishbowl and tried to distract Megamind without drawing Sasha's attention. Minion and Sasha got along alright but he always feared she would sacrifice him if she got the chance, that or eat him. Even though she promised fish tasted terrible to her. Megamind still never let Minion out of his sight, being the only thing he had from his parents and his only friend for so long. The other children smiled at Tim but seemed to be appalled by the blue boy in prison orange holding a talking fish. Sasha ignored their eyes on her as she smoothed out her oversized blue dress, a girl in the back of the classroom piped up, "Are you anorexic? That is sick!"
A little boy continued the torture, "I guess she fits the dumb blonde though." He didn't quite know the word stereotype yet, being only six.
Megamind's eyes widened, they were making fun of his beautiful friend and not him? What strange world this was. He opened his mouth but Sasha shook her head, "I am okay," she whispered as her dark expression told him otherwise.
The teacher called them from the door and told them to sit on the side. They did and she started talking about English. Sasha stayed silent through the whole lesson until playtime. They went outside and Sasha ran as far from the group as she could until her lungs gave out and she collapsed onto the ground by a tree. Megamind followed and sat next to her, "Aren't you allergic to grass?" he asked hoping he was wrong.
"Yeah, so? I will be red next time they see me and swollen, maybe they will shut up about my figure! I wore a baggy dress for this reason!" Her face burned red already and her arms started welting.
Megamind knew she had not been okay but he couldn't defy her and embarrass her in front of a class that already hated them. "Sasha, come on, we need to get you cleaned up," he stood and grabbed her arm but she let it fall from his hands like a corpse. She played dead when she got upset and it always freaked Megamind out. "Don't do this! Minion and I are your friends!"
She turned away from him on her side, "Minion is scared of me. Just like the class would be if I actually talked to them. I think I will stay out here until the buss comes," she scratched her arm viciously. Megamind knew she would have her arm skinned shortly if he left her so he sat Minion on the ground and picked her up, then sat Minion on her stomach. She did not say anything as he carried her inside to the sink. She burrowed her face into his shoulder and scratched her arm. He sat her on the counter and took a wet towel to wipe her off with it, the welts didn't start to lessen for a few minutes but she stopped scratching and started cooing as the cool cloth removed the itch.
Tim flew into the classroom, "you aren't supposed to be in here until the teacher says it is time!" he said flying over to them.
"Do you ever walk?" Sasha mumbled.
"What? Sidekick, you really need to speak up," Tim said putting his hands on his hips, "Go back outside!"
"Not until I get the grass oil off of her," Megamind informed him, "You go outside and tell the teacher she fell and is covered, she may need to go home and take her medicine."
"I don't listen to you! She cannot go home the first day of school!" Tim said as he flew outside.
"I don't have any medication; I barely have enough money to eat!" Sasha eyed him curiously.
"I know that but it showed us he only cares about those who follow him absently. I am sorry you are itchy though. Is it getting any better?" he looked over her arms, face, and chest to see how bad the welts were. They had shrunk and he smiled.
The teacher called everyone in just as he had scrubbed the last of the oil off and the welts faded. They were lucky to get to it so fast. "What are you two doing in here?" the teacher asked, Megamind and Sasha didn't bother to memorize her name.
"Sasha got too hot so we brought her in to get a drink," Megamind explained.
"I don't understand why they allowed you to bring a fish to the school in the first place but if it gets to hot again tell me and I will bring it inside," the teacher said sternly apparently not taking the time to memorize their names either.
Megamind didn't feel like correcting her so he just smiled and said, "Yes ma'am."
Snack time came next and the teacher passed out some animal crackers and smiled at the 'good' children and kind of tossed the snacks to Megamind and Sasha. Sasha gave Minion hers, "I don't like animal crackers." Even though she was not anorexic she still knew what it felt like to miss a meal so it didn't seem like that big a deal to share her disgusting snack.
"Look," a girl said pointing at her dropping the crackers in the little hole on the orb, "She isn't eating! She is anorexic!"
Sasha stared at them blankly and waited for the students to turn around, they avoided her gaze and she smiled darkly, "I said I don't like animal crackers," she whispered and Megamind laughed nervously.
Each child was then assigned two days a month to bring snack time, and the school day ended with the two riding on the bus quietly. They reached the prison and the prisoners meet them at the inside gate, "How was school?"
"Did you make friends?"
"Were there any with rich parents?"
"Did you play nice?"
Each prisoner piped up asking the children with smiles and all they could do was nod and smile, why hurt them with the truth? Sasha thought. Then her father came to the front, "Where there any boys?" Of course that was where her father's mind was. After a year he realized that even though Megamind and Sasha got along well he wouldn't dare lay a hand on her.
Sasha considered telling her father about Tim and watching her father on his next prison break tearing the boy apart but she realized she loved her father too much to do that to him. "Nope, none at all," she smiled innocently at him. He only nodded and walked away.
The next day Tim brought popcorn and cooked it with his eyes. "What? Seriously! They find him normal and amazing? He cooks with his eyes! I am just skinny!" Sasha murmured angrily.
"Sasha, calm down. He is an idiot. We came from nearby planets and he was a bully then," Megamind sighed.
Sasha sighed, "Well tomorrow is your turn. We are bringing pop'ed corn! I will help you build something."
That night they stayed up all night building a body for Minion with a lazar attached to cook the corn and they brought a bucket of corn to school the next day. Megamind stood up front and controlled Minion with a remote. Minion danced and smiled at the class then the lazar came out and he shot it at the bucket of corn but instead of popping like the stuff Tim brought it burst into flames. Tim and Sasha jumped up as the others screamed. Sasha grabbed Minion pulling the lazar out and removing his bowl from the body. Tim sucked in the flames and smoke. The teacher put a gold star on Tim's chest and sent Megamind to the corner. "He didn't do anything wrong!" Sasha yelled at the teacher. The class gasped at her first audible words.
Everyone stared and Sasha about continued but Megamind grabbed her hand, "Don't, it is okay."
Sasha relaxed her shoulders and stared blankly ahead. Tim looked at her, "How did you do that? How do you control her like that?"
Megamind looked confused, he didn't control her. "He can because he is the Master Overlord of Satan. I must do whatever he says," Sasha said never changing her look and keeping her voice very stable and serious.
The class gasped and the teacher nearly fainted, "I am not! I am not Satan or whatever!" Megamind shook his head and waved his hands franticly.
"Yes you are, oh powerful one," Sasha said bowing very sternly.
The teacher put them both in the corner and the class got to have a longer recess to help them get over the horror of Sasha's words.
"Well, that went better than I expected," Sasha smiled with her head down. She had long mastered the art of speaking where only Megamind could hear.
"I cannot believe you convinced the whole shool I am the overlord of Satan! What does that even mean?" He looked at her and the teacher smacked a ruler on her desk. He quickly looked back at the floor.
"I don't know but it sounded good," Sasha smiled; she had more stealth than him, "What should we do tomorrow, Master?"
"Don't call me that!" the teacher smacked the desk again and they stayed quiet.
Oh, my! What an interesting first couple of days, by the way, I just guessed they were six and in the first grade…I don't know, I think that is a good place to start. Megamind is having a hard time with Sasha getting less shy. She needs to stay shy a little longer. I hope you enjoyed them. Review please.
