One month.

That was all it took for the defender of the city to 'get over' Roxanne Ritchi. It took him a while, simple and constant reminders plague his every movement. But he started to slowly get it out of his large brain that Roxanne was happy where she was at. He hadn't called her, he hadn't checked up on her, as he was afraid she wouldn't reply. He had to move on, and protect his city.

He was on the monitors as he wanted to find all of these villainous foes plaguing his city, especially that of the Doom Syndicate.

Since Megamind was named as the city's hero, numerous sightings of the notorious groups have surfaced, and as many times as Megamind tried to find them, he couldn't get them in time. Not even the biggest radar that he could conjure up could find them. The only evidence left of them was the aftermath.

And the aftermath was the last thing he wanted to arrive to.

People came up missing, and those that returned were never the same. Megamind never thought that he would go up against those inhuman beasts. Even Metro Man couldn't fight them, and he was… Metro Man.

It was only a matter a time before they strike again. He did, however, calculate the patterns on when they would surface. It would be monthly to an extended fortnight, and it was not a long attack. It was a short and painful attack.

"Hello, Sir, how are you doing?" Minion said, having a box of freshly made donuts.

"I'm doing great, I might be able to pinpoint the exact location and time the Doom Syndicate will strike!" Megamind said. He was in his pajamas and had a blue marker.

"Great, now we may have a chance to actually getting the Doom Syndicate and stop the casualties," Minion said.

"Let's take a break, I feel like having a nice little private picnic at Hill Top Park," Megamind said.

"Sir… but that's where you and Miss Ritchi had that date while you were disguised as… you know, Bernard," Minion said.

"Minion, it's quite alright, I have no problem being in that particular spot. Besides, the sun is sunny and the roses are… rosy. Let's go."

Hill Top Park

Minion had set up a large canopy tent over a secluded part of the park. They had brought in nice beach chairs and had some little things.

Megamind had laid in the grass, his bare head on the soft grass as he relaxed. He wore his bottom pajama pants and a black undershirt.

"Sir, you've been awfully quiet about Miss Ritchi's leaving to California," Minion said, looking at Megamind as he laid on the picnic sheet.

"In a bittersweet stance, yes," Megamind said. "I have to understand that this is my new normal."

"'New normal'? I don't understand, Sir" Minion said, feeding himself a little bit of fish food.

"It's quite obvious, Minion. I need to focus on my life and do things normally, without Roxanne being around. Roxanne is going to have a wonderful life in California, and her family is up there too," Megamind said with realization.

"So… you're over Miss Ritchi," Minion asked.

"Yes. I have feelings of love for her, but our future, I cannot say," Megamind said, his eyes looking into the ceiling.

"I'm proud of you, Sir," Minion said with a caring stare in his eyes.

"I'm proud of myself as well… and thank you for being there," Megamind said, getting up and hugging him, "you sentimental Simeon fish."

As the two laughed, Megamind could only think of all of the things he can do now that Roxanne has her own life in California. His minutes of trance were cut abruptly short when a frisbee was thrown his way. It was a gold with little white paint on it. Megamind had looked at it and looked up to see if someone was coming this way.

"We should probably return it," Minion said with urgency.

"Of course, a great way to end off the day," Megamind said as he had placed on black sandals and had begun to disassemble all of the items they had out on display. He had it all in a little cart and had traveled a little further, seeing a man looking within the bushes.

"Excuse, my good citizen, I believe that you lost this?" Megamind said, a casual tone in his voice. The man turned around, in which Megamind's face turn's purple. He recognized that face.

That unkempt hair.

Those deadpan brown eyes.

And those round glasses!

It was Bernard.

"Oh great," Bernard said, his eyes in slits as he looked at the blue alien. Megamind was just as shocked as Minion when they saw Bernard. He wore an ivory vest with a brown button shirt and work tapered pants.

"Well isn't this a strange turn of events," Megamind said, a light chuckle from his throat, Minion nudging him.

"I believe the correct phrase is 'a blast from the past'," Bernard said, looking at his white and gold frisbee. "Where did you find that?"

"Near where I was at," Megamind said, giving it to Bernard, who took it and placed it under his pit.

"I'm sure that everything is going well," Minion asked the man.

"Yes… until now," Bernard said, through his teeth.

Megamind had looked at his left hand and noticed a gold band around his ring finger. "If I may ask, Bernard… are you by any chance married?"

Bernard had cocked his eyebrow. "Why does this matter to you," he said with a rather unpleasant voice.

"Well… I noticed you have a nice ring on your finger…" Megamind said. "It's looks like your married."

"Whether I have a promise ring, engagement ring, or marriage ring, it doesn't concern you," Bernard said, it was then that a soft pair of hands with manicured nails and an identical ring on their left ring finger were placed over his eyes, in which Bernard had turned around.

"Honey, where have you been, did you find my frisbee," the woman said in a sweet voice. She had blonde hair with a punked up pixie cut with amber eyes. She was in a sweater dress with leggings and fur boots. She had a shapely body, which was familiar to Megamind.

"I did," he said as he gave it her and kissed her lips quickly, the woman smiling happily.

"Well hello there," Megamind said, the woman waving hello with a sweet smile, her dimples showing.

"Hi, my name is Vida Fitzgerald," Denise said, shaking the fish's robotic hand.

"Vida, Vida, now why does that name sound so familiar?" Minion said, tapping his chin.

"I was modeling in California," Vida said, "Now I model here."

"Ah! Now I remember. You use to do those face cream commercials on channel 8… news," Megamind said, eyes lowered.

"Sir?" Vida said with respect.

"Right now is not the best for him," Minion said vague. Vida sucked her teeth in pity and looked at Bernard and pulled him aside.

"Bernard, I have an idea," Vida said, looking at Bernard.

"No!" Bernard said, already jumping to conclusions.

"You don't even know what I was gonna say," Vida spat at him in a harsh whisper.

"I don't need to, you want me to invite him over for dinner don't you," Bernard said.

"Honey, what happened between you and him is over. Its death," Vida said, wiping her hands to simulate the end of what he had for Megamind.

"Yes, but my hate for him is very much alive," Bernard spat right back. "Besides, I don't like guests over, our house isn't fully renovated."

"Right because they are going into our rooms to have dinner," she said. "Come on… if you let them over the house… I'll do that thing you like," she said, rubbing his chest and smirking. He was tall, so it was difficult for her to stand on her toys to whisper in his ears.

Bernard's eyes looked at her. "You're lying, you don't even know how to do the thing," he said, calling her bluff.

"Dammit. Fine, I'll take you out this weekend then," Vida said, growing a little. They turned around and face the city's hero and his sidekick.

"Would you like to come over to our house?" Bernard said.

"Smile," Vida whispered, her elbow in his arm. Bernard rubbed his arm and had flashed a smile before having his resting mitch face.

"Well we don't want to intrude," Megamind said.

"But we want to," Minion said, pushing him aside. Megamind toppling over, Vida chortling and Bernard rubbing his eyes under his glasses.

Megamind had stood up and fixed his clothes. "Alright, off to Bernard's house then," Megamind said, laughing a bit.

Soon after Minion drove behind Bernard, who was driving. Bernard at times would try to lose the two alien lifeforms that left him in a rough spot, but his wife tugged at his ear, soon after meeting up his ear red.

They soon had reached his apartment, Megamind looking forward. "I can't believe I'm going into someone else's apartment," he said.

"Well its a gratifying experience," Bernard jeered, Vida smacking his back, the man hissing, "what was that for?"

"For being a smart ass," Vida said with a nasty face, turning around and looking at the two hero's, a laugh to break the awkwardness. "Don't you see the love?"

MInion nodded happily as he was excited. Megamind started to look at the street, and wondered a little. "Um… Bernard… if I may ask, what street is this."

"Main Street, why," Bernard said. Megamind stopped within his footsteps as he knew what this street entailed. Vida had looked at Bernard, wondering what was up. "What isn't this the street."

"What building do you live in?" Minion asked Bernard.

"We just moved in a week or two ago, this building here," Bernard said as it had upset Megamind.

"I'll see you later, I don't feel well," Megamind had gone off to his car and hid.

"Excuse me, why don't you both head upstairs," Minion said, going back to the car and tried to pull his friend from the car. Bernard watched, rolling his eyes and opening the door to his lobby, where he was met by Carlos, the lobby man.

"Afternoon, Carlos," Vida said.

"Same to you Miss Fitzgerald," Carlos said.

Bernard headed into the elevator, and once the gated doors closed, he held his wife in romantic embrace and kissed her. Vida, being caught off guard, had yelped, but gave into the kiss, her hands around his neck. He pulled away and wiped his most, Vida in utter shock. "Where did that come from?" she said, stunned.

"I wanted those two idiot to leave so I can do that," Bernard said, Vida smacking his chest lightly to keep him from saying those words.

"Well keep doing it I like it," Vida said, chuckling a little. It was a silent sound within the elevator when she had a thought in the back of her head. "Make sure to return my Elise's frisbee to her, you know she's still about Metro Man and stuff."

"Yeah, sure," Bernard with a exasperated tone. The elevator opened and lead them down a hallway, there apartment in the left corner.

"Why the attitude?" Vida said.

"I'm just saying, she borrows all of my stuff and never gives it back," Bernard said. "I know she's your kid and all, but she's a pain in the-"

"Hey! She's going through a rough stage in her life, she's fifteen and she's starting to develop in places she was worried about, plus she's adjusting to her new school at the Metro Academy and she's turning sixteen in a few months…" Vida said, getting al flustered.

"I know, I know… its hard on her," Bernard said, looking down. "Does she hate me?" he asked. "I mean I don't care but I just wanna know."

"She doesn't hate you, she's just moody," Vida said in defense of her daughter.

"She's been moody for four years," Bernard said. He thought he would have to provide for one person in his life, but realized that taking in a 11 year old at the time with a supermodel for a mom was more than he asked for.

They had entered the apartment, the loft in the middle of getting repainted with pastel pink walls. There were boxes everywhere, some packing peanuts around. "You still wanna invite them?" Bernard said.

"Yes!" Vida said, Bernard letting out a low 'humph' sound.

This was going to be rather eventful afternoon.
