(Roxanne's P.O.V.) -A few days later-
I stretched carefully as I have a injured arm, the right one, and I got up from my bed, grabbing a large tank top and shorts as I headed to the bathroom. It has been only a few days, and my memory isn't coming back yet, but I couldn't help feeling like I am safe with Minion and Megamind.
It's strangely cool to see two unique aliens, and they claimed they have been friends with me for the past 5 and a half years, and for some reason, it felt right for now as they were genuinely concerned for me, helping me with my injured arm, cuts which was apparently caused by that plane incident.
I have heard about Megamind thanks to news around Milwaukee, but I could never imagine that the stories were true about him being blue-skinned, yet they are. It seems to suit him really well, that cobalt blue skin color complimenting those bright emerald green eyes. He wore that leathersuit which had a blue bolt on it for the past few days after I woke up, saying it's part of a outfit I was used to seeing, but it didn't stir even a piece of memory, so he is now wearing human-like casual clothes which is kinda comforting to see.
I figured he must be at least 30, due to his spiffy black goatee while he claimed that I am 25, instead of being 17, almost 18 years old in the last memory I have, next to memories of my teen years and childhood. It's still unbelievable that I lost 8 years of my life, their memories hiding from me, and it hurts as I really want to know Megamind and Minion far beyond what I may had. I'd not forget such a couple of friends like Megamind and Minion, yet I did, by force.
Minion has been a blessing as despite having a incredible robot gorilla body, he's really gentle in patching me up. He's also a fantastic cook and cloth-maker. The clothes I were in was very shredded and unable to be fitted properly, so he made incredible clothes, including ones I could maneuver easily without aggravating my injured arm. It's incredible that he's so human-like with his emotions as he's a cool-looking piranha-angelfish alien in a fishbowl head, those warm brown eyes complimenting his light brown/green scales.
I couldn't stop Minion from calling me Miss Ritchi, and for some unknown reason, I gave into it, seeing that Minion is basically a caretaker, best friend for Megamind, and yet when Megamind calls me that, it's familiar and not familiar at the same time which is kinda strange in my opinion, so I pressure him into calling me by my first name.
He was hesitant at first about it for a couple of days, but when I remind him, he seems to warm up to it, calling me Roxanne with this peculiar tone, almost like he doesn't want to be inappropriate around me. He's clearly one of the good males I am comfortable with, unlike that son of a bastard Ryan. I sighed heavily as anger yet sadness simmered inside me, and I am trying to recover, and Megamind, Minion seems to be helping me beyond the situation of my memories, which I greatly appreciate.
I exited my bedroom, heading to the kitchen with a bit of struggle to remember which hallway to take, and finally found it, smiling brightly as I saw Megamind at the table sipping coffee, and Minion cooking. I took a deep breath, and exhaled, "Breakfast burritos?".
The boys turned around to face me, adorning grins on their faces, with Minion nodding, "Yes, Miss Ritchi. You often had a breakfast burrito, and I never forgot your order; melted American cheese, scrambled eggs, bacon bits, chicken pieces, minced jalapeno, and minced black olives.".
I widened my eyes in delighted pleasure, "You always remember what I loved to eat?". Minion's grin widened as he fluttered his little fins in happiness, "But of course! I also got your iced tea here as well.", His robot arm put a drink on the island as I stepped forward, taking a stool next to Megamind, glancing to see him sipping his coffee with a faint blush on his cheeks, and I smiled softly as I grabbed my iced tea drink, sipping slowly, and I loved it! It's much better than the ones back at that cafe on 8th Avenue!
"It's perfect, Minion!". I complimented happily, and Megamind chuckled, "Classic old Minion. He always gets meals and drinks perfectly every time.". Minion laughed softly, "You're very much welcome, Miss Ritchi. Your burrito will be ready in a second.", then faced Megamind.
"Any plans, sir?". he questioned airily, and I side-glanced at Megamind as he hummed, "It's Friday. It's alligator feeding time again. I better check upon Muncher. He was a bit delirious last I checked on Monday. Then I gotta see about Chomper after I fixed him up yesterday.".
I nearly choked, sputtering softly, "You have alligators?". Megamind beamed proudly, "Five of them. You haven't met them properly as you had merely glanced at them the last few times we were in the warehouse.".
I blinked, "Metrocity? But how did you ever bring them back and forward from this place and so on?". Megamind grinned, "If you want to know, you could join me for today, yes?". I stared at him in bewilderment, exhaling slowly as I thought I'd want to see the island for sure as I have been stuck in this condo-type building for the past few days.
I nodded, "I'm curious as hell, Megamind, and I think I can manage to go outside, if that's all right with you, Minion?". Minion hummed in thought as he flickered his antenna side to side, then smiled warmly, "Well, the bruises seemed to be fading just fine, and the cuts are scabbing quite nicely, and do you think you'd be fine with the arm, Miss Ritchi?".
I grinned, "If I hold it still, it barely hurts like a 1 on the pain level, and if I move it too much, it's like a 8. I promise I'll be fine.". Minion looked a bit hesitant for a minute when Megamind spoke up, "Roxanne needs fresh air badly. I think the fresh air would help Roxanne far better beyond than if she was stuck here for a long time. Cabin fever is bad, Minion, and you wouldn't want to make Roxanne sad, would you?".
Minion sighed in submission, "Good point, sir. Miss Ritchi?". I nodded, "What he said.", gesturing to him. Minion nodded, "You're free to go, Miss Ritchi. Just be careful out there, okay?". I chuckled, "I'll be fine as long as I got Megamind with me.".
Megamind sipped his coffee, then replied, "Then let's go eat up some breakfast, and get going!", with a gleam in his eyes. I agreed, then we polished off our plates of breakfast within 20 minutes, and we waved good-bye to Minion, with Megamind calling out that we'd be back for lunch.
Megamind led me out into a porch which I had my first full look of the island before me. So much green everywhere, chirping birds, some chattering animals, and the sky, pure blue. I realized that we were deep in the jungle somewhere, but I can see well-maintained trails in and out of the jungle from the house.
Megamind looked quite proud that his home has amazed me from the minute I saw it, and he bowed slightly, "Shall I show you around, Miss Ritchi?", the tone dramatically soft, and I nodded, "Lead the way, oh, dear sir.". Megamind laughed heartily, "As you wish.". I raised an eyebrow, "Did you see 'The Princess Bride'?".
Megamind blushed with a sheepish smile, "Maybe?". I giggled softly, "I liked the movie myself. Come on, Megs, talk all you want as Minion's not here.". Megamind looked taken back, then blinked as he nodded, "You must be wondering about the alligators, Roxanne. Well, I've got a story to explain about that on the way.". He tugged my hand gently, and I followed him down the porch stairs and to one of the trails, ready to listen, and he began talking.
