Here's chapter three :)

QOTD: "I took off my diaper..."-Dmetri Greene

"'Metri, your diapers on you!" -Nikki Greene

*looks down* "Oh..."-Dmetri Greene


"Sir, is this really necessary?" Minion asked for the twelfth time. Megamind rolled his eyes.

"Yes, Minion! It most certainly is necessary! I know that man Nikki was...Nikki was kissing was Professor Horrible."

"Dr. Horrible," Minion corrected. Megamind rolled his eyes again.

"Whatever! I just know it was him! He must have brain-cleaned her." Minion thought for moment before letting out a laugh and saying, "Oh, you mean brain-washed."

"Cleaned, washed, their both forms of cleansing! The point is we need to get her back!" Minion sighed and focused his fishy-eyes on the road once more. Megamind convinced (cough cough forced) him to go to LA to get Nikki back. The blue alien was simply convinced Nikki hadn't left intentionally, while Minion was positive she had.

Minion turned on the radio and the song Second Chance by Shinedown was playing. Megamind, thinking of Nikki, turned it to a country station. His sidekick looked at him for a moment, but didn't question his actions.

"Have you ever had to love someone...who just don't feel the same?" the artists sang. Boy I know the feeling, Megamind thought sadly. What does she see in him anyways? She always said she hated guys with blond hair. Well, she certainly changed her mind, he added bitterly. He was so lost in thought that he didn't notice when they entered LA twenty minutes later. Nor did he notice the very two people he was thinking about walking down the sidewalk, eating ice cream.


"Find a place yet?" Billy asked Nikki. She shook her head and licked her chocolate ice cream.

"Nope. Nothing that can fit all four of us, at least."

"Have you always lived with your sisters?" he inquired. Nikki nodded in and sad, "Yep. Part of me has always wanted to know what it would be like to live alone or-" She broke off, embarrassed by what she had been planning to say. She was going to say 'with a man', but that would leave an awkward and uncomfortable silence. So, she cleared her throat and said, "Yeah, I've always lived with them."

"Nice," he replied. Nikki smiled at him and they continued walking. Billy surprised both himself and Nikki by taking her hand. She was surprised, but not displeased. After a while of simply walking, they sat down on a bench. Nikki sighed and leaned her head against his shoulder. Billy found himself thinking about how perfect the moment would be if he would just say three little words. Do I love her? he thought. Do I really? He looked down at her again and decided now wasn't the time. It was about as perfect as a moment could be, and he was happy with it.


"Do you even know where she lives?" Minion asked. Megamind shook his head. "How do you plan to find her?" Megamind shrugged. "So...basically we're going around LA looking for a girl that could be anywhere in the city and we have nothing that indicates where she is?" Megamind nodded. Minion sighed. What could possibly go wrong? he sarcastically thought.

The car was parked, and Megamind got out after changing into a man with red hair, still with his shockingly green eyes. Minion changed into a tall mad with shaggy brown hair, of course, with his brown eyes. "So," Minion said, locking the car. "What's the plan?"

"Who says there is one?" Megamind asked.

"Sir, are you telling me that we drove halfway across the country to find your ex and bring her home without having a plan?"

"Well," Megamind mumbled. "When you say it like that..." Minion sighed exasperatedly. He loved Megamind like he was a brother. He really did. But his plans were...unplanned most of the time.

"I have an idea," Minion said. "Why not just call her, tell her she left something in Metro City so she'll give you her address, and you can just go there?"

"Good idea!" Megamind declared, pulling out his phone and pressing speed dial two.


"So, yeah, I found this one place," Emma said over the phone. "It's big enough, but God it smells bad! We'd even have a guest room, but I doubt I'd ever get over that stench. I mean, it's just putrid. It smells like something died. Simply...oh, God, dead cat! Dead cat! Gross! Dead cat!" There was a scuffling sound and Nikki heard Genesis yell, "Cool!"

"Genesis Greene, you put that down right now!" Genesis yelled something and Amethyst shrieked. "Stop hitting Amethyst!" There was a lot of confused yelling and then Emma screamed, "I'll call you back!" The line went dead and Nikki turned to Billy slowly and said, "So the search is still on..."

He laughed, having heard the yelling, and Nikki shoved her phone back in her pocket. They walked out of the apartment complex they had been searching in (no luck) and Nikki's phone rang again. It was Mr. Blue Sky.

"Why is Megs calling me?" she wondered out loud. Nonetheless, she flipped the phone open with a "Vote for Nikki."

"Hi, Nikki. You left some stuff in the lair. I was wondering if I could get your address to send them to you?"

"Oh," Nikki said, grateful. "Thanks, Megs. Uh..." She put her hand over the receiver and said to Billy, "You don't mind if I give him you address to send some stuff to, do you? Seeing as I don't have an apartment..."

"Not at all," Billy replied, smiling. Nikki returned the smile and mouthed thank you before going back to the phone. She gave Megamind Billy's address, thanked him, and hung up.

After looking for another thirty minutes (again no luck), Billy glanced at his phone for the time and said, "I'd better get home."

"Oh, fine." Nikki sighed. "I'll go back to the hotel." She hugged Billy and he kissed her forehead. The touch of his lips sent warmth throughout her entire body. He left, leaving Nikki to walk home, dazed and happy.


Megamind changed back into himself, walked up to the door Nikki said was her apartment and knocked. After a moment, the door opened and the Horrible dude was standing there. "What are you doing here?" both men asked simultaneously. "I live here," Billy said at the same time Megamind said, "I'm looking for Nikki." Pause. "You live here?" Megamind asked while Billy said, "Why would Nikki be here?"

"Hang on," Megamind said, breaking the speaking-at-the-same-time thing. "Nikki gave me this address to send something to her."

"Yeah," Billy agreed. "Because they don't have an apartment yet. They're still searching. So she gave you my address to...wait...if you were gonna send her something, why are you here?"

An evil smirk fell across the blue face that was all-too familiar with it. "Funny you should mention that..." He pulled a beaten-up gun from his belt and held it up, pointing at Billy.

"Woah, woah, woah," Billy said, holding his hands up and taking a step back. "Let's not do anything rash..." He let out a nervous laugh. Megamind didn't listen to him as he rotated the body of the gun so it was set to 'destroy'. Billy's eyes widened and he said, "Why are you doing this?"

"I've sworn to destroy the only thing standing between me and my true love." Megamind closed his eyes and pulled the trigger.

Nothing happened.

"What the hell?" Megamind muttered, looking at the gun. His eyes widened. "Warming up?" Billy sighed out of relief. Megamind turned around and yelled, "MINION!" Seeing an opportunity, Billy quickly grabbed the gun from the alien and held it up to him, his hands shaking. Megamind at him for a moment before letting out a rude laugh. "You're not gonna hurt me!"

Billy opened his mouth to argue, but then he hung his head. "You're right," he quietly said. Megamind looked shocked and Billy dropped the gun. "I'm not...I can't...I really can't..."

"You...wait...what?" Megamind asked, still shocked. Billy shrugged and kicked the gun to him. It rested at the alien's feet, the 'warming up' bar now green, saying it was ready. Megamind picked it up and looked at it for a second before looking at Billy again. Billy held up his hands as if in surrender, so Megamind pointed the gun at him once again.

"Hey, Billy," Nikki's excited voice said as she dashed into the room. "We found a place and...Megamind?" She looked at her blue ex-boyfriend and said, "What are you doing here?" She then saw the gun, pointed at Billy's chest, his hands still up in surrender. Her eyes got wide and she threw herself at Billy, hugging him.

"Nikki, move," Megamind said, exasperated. "I'm not gonna hurt you."

"And you're no gonna hurt Billy either!" She turned around to face Megamind, still standing in front of Billy. "You might be upset at the fact that I broke up with you and started dating him, but that doesn't mean you gotta go and kill him!"

"Nikki, you're delusional," Megamind said softly. "I don't know what he did, but whatever it is, I'll fix it, okay?"

"Billy didn't do anything to me!" Nikki declared. "Why would you think he did something?"

"You left Metrocity!"

"We left because of you!" Nikki exclaimed. "You said you were gonna kill Billy, so we left. I..." Nikki took Billy's hand. "I couldn't bare to be without him, so we came too." Megamind looked at their interlocked hands and a funny expression came onto his face. The gun fell to the floor with a clatter and Megamind said in a soft voice, "Okay...I believe you..." Nikki sighed at his hurt expression and gave him a hug.

"Sorry, Megs," she said gently. She kissed his cheek and said, "It was good being with you."

"Yeah," he agreed, sighing. "It was..." He hugged her once more before looking at Billy and saying, "Be nice to her." Without another word, he left, closing the door softly behind him. Nikki turned to Billy, who was staring at her. She practically ran at him, attacking him with the force of her kiss. Although surprised, he returned the kiss with just as much passion and said the words he had been keeping in when they broke apart.

"I love you, Nikki," he said breathlessly. "I think I always have, and I know I always will." Nikki looked at him, her blue eyes wide with surprise.

"I love you too, Billy," she said honestly. He smiled at her, and she returned the smile before they kissed once more.
