Yeeeeaaaahh...like I said, don't hold me to it. lol I was pretty sure I wouldn't have finished it in a week...but I'll still finish it, regardless.. xD

Every attempt failed. He tried bribary, traps, nets, threats, even a specialized fishing line he had designed for his brainbots (which proved the least sucessful given the fact he was catching all the brainbots but the one that had the rings.)

"This is embarassing. I am being outsmarted by my own invention!"

"It wouldn't be the first time." Minion smirked as he glanced up from he magazine he had occupied himself with.

"Oh, ha ha ha...if you think its so easy, why don't you try it?" Minion set aside the magazine and stood up.

"Sure. Me being somewhat of an animal myself I can connect with them better. Plus the bodysuit gives me somewhat of camouflage."

"Ok, lets see it, then."

"O..k.." Minion awkwardly cleared his throat, "Chomp chomp chomp!" Megamind raised an eyebrow as he folded his arms. Miraculously, a 'female' brainbot responded and approached him.

"Thats not who we're looking for." Megamind commented matter-of-factly.

"I know...uh...I'm uh, asking her to send him this way...chomp chomp chomp, ch-chomp chomp..." In a reply, the pink brainbot narrowed it's eye and clamped down onto Minion's bowl. The miffed female, after leaving a crack in Minion's helmet-bowl, finally let go and hovered away.

"Great. Now I have a crack in my glass!"

"I told you its not easy." Megamind looked down at his holowatch, "Ughhh...we have half an hour." He sighed before looking up.

"I wish I could see if Roxannes' ok. Shes probably a nervous wreck right now." He glanced down back at his holowatch, and an evil grin slid across his face.

"Hey Minion?" He asked innocently.

"Yes, Sir? Do you need something?"

"Nope...just stand right there...don't move." Megamind swiveled the center of the watch and aimed it at his sidekick.

"What are you- Oh, no you don't!" Minion reached at Megamind's wrist, unbuckled the device, and pulled it off.

"I am not going to let you spoil the surprise with Roxanne's dress!" Megamind let out a loud sigh with a slouch.

"Ok...You can put me down now."

"Oh...sorry, Sir."

"Its ok."

Hey, guys; where have you been?" The boys flinched as they looked up to find Victor, "You were kinda supposed to be at the shore by now."

"We've had...complications..." Megamind paused.

"Complications?"

"He lost the rings." Minion admitted guiltily.

"Lost the rings? What happened to them?"

"A brainbot was attracted to the shine and took them. We're in the process of making another set so we would still have rings, but Roxanne would know the difference, so we're trying to get the originals back."

"I see. Do you need help?" Megamind's eyes lit up.

"Sure. While you and Minion try to catch him I can start the cutting process."

"Ok," Victor paused,"cutting process? You mean with the rings-the diamond?"

"Yeah." Megamind smirked complacently as he looked back. Victor shook his head,

"You certainly didn't need our help to advance."

Megamind began to switch dials and pull levers as he watched the screen. As more windows popped up, he typed in more commands. A 'please wait' screen popped up and it gave him the opportunity to look at his watch. It would be fifteen minutes before the ceremony would start.

"C'mon..." He urged before he heard a 'ding' sound and popped open the door flap. He grabbed the plyers and carefully picked up the end product. It was a crystal, deep-blue diamond in the traditional upside down pyramid-like shape. He pulled out the base of Roxannes ring and locked the jewel in place with the metallic hooks. After cautiously looking around for any lingering brainbots, he held it to the light again to watch the explosion of rainbows dance around the room.

"Sir?" Minion questioned, breaking Megamind's trace.

"Y-yes? Yes, Minion?"

"We can't get him; he took off outside, theres no way of us getting him now."

"Ok. The ring is done. Its not as professional as the other and doesn't have more then a single diamond, but it'll have to work."

"I'll try stalling the ceremony if I can. Roxanne was still at Meghan's before I left, but I'm sure they're already at the beach by now." Victor said before taking off out the laire.

"Alright, do we have everything?" Minion asked as he fixed a black bow where the metal of his body suit and glass of his tank met.

"Everything except my dignity. Roxannes' going to kill me when she finds out I lost the rings!"

"Well then lets go!"

"Where is he?" Roxanne asked nervously, leaning over to Luna.

"I don't know, dear."

"Ok, ok, I'm back-" Victor assured as he ran up to the group.

"What is he doing?"

"Uh...troubles..."

"What kind of troubles?" Roxanne asked again, anxious.

"It wouldn't be my place to tell you."

"Typical." Roxanne looked over to her mother, "Its not the first time your boyfriend has disappointed us. The first one of course was hearing he was blue." Victor and Luna looked over at Roxanne's parents.

"No offense."

"None taken..." Victor commented through his teeth before Luna hushed him.

"Don't, not today. More stress is the last thing Roxanne needs right now."

"Mom, Dad, don't even start with that. I'm really not in the mood." Roxanne took in a deep breath, "Can I speak with Luna alone, please?" Roxanne's parents nodded to eachother before they and Victor walked out of the tent.

"I knew it, I knew it...I'm going to get up there and hes not even going to show up, I knew it..."

"No, sweetie, no...He is coming. I do not know what Victor meant by trouble, but I doubt it has anything concerning you. Trust me, I've seen it; Victors' seen it, he loves you. He would not leave you on your wedding day, expecially when the two of you have a young child together. No, he wouldn't do that to you. Now do not get worked up; your make-up will smear. It will be ok." Roxanne nodded, and tilted her head back for the tears to recede. She laughed lightly as she settled down,

"You know, you feel like more of my mother then my real one... I'm glad you're here."

"Me too. But it is not your mother's fault, I can see where she is coming from. She is just looking out for you."

"Yeah, by insulting my in-laws? Theres no reason for that; shes always been like that. It doesn't matter what I do, shes never satisfied."

"Just give her time." Luna smiled, "Its not exactly a normal circumstance. Maybe with time, she will adjust."

"I hope so."
