Chapter Eleven: Smurfeete
The girls seemed to have recharged energy with the nap so they started to wander in Megamind's lair; they seemed to be having fun. Now the blue hero was running from one side to the other behind them; worried about them breaking something or hurting themselves. Roxanne started to wonder if Megamind could be able to handle them the rest of the afternoon.
"I just called to the hotel room" Minion informed her. "Nobody has come to pick the girls, and if someone shows up the receptionist has the lair's address. This way we won't leave alone the children in the room, Ms. Ritchie"
The woman sent the fish a suspicious look that made his gorilla suit tremble. She thought there was something fishy about Minion's explanation, no pun intended. But at the end she let it go.
Margo approached then holding strongly the only pink brainbot Megamind owned. Agnes had been running in her clumsy way behind her, and once she caught up with, Margo raised the jawed robot out of her reach.
"I'm telling you I want it!"
"No Agnes, this thing is dangerous" Her sister menaced.
As if her words had hurt the robot feelings, it shook to release itself and tried to bit Margo's hand. Fortunately she took out her hand at time; the robot escaped floating to the other side of the lair.
Roxanne couldn't but giggle, she knew the brainbots had their own temper.
"Awww, you scared it and I'll never have it!" Agnes whimpered; then she held her breath for showing disagreement.
"She does that a lot" Margo apologized, she was not amused.
Roxanne and Minion started to concern when the girl turned blue. Minion called several brainbots, worried about the girl's health. They hovered around the mischievous girl, but none of them was the pink one she wanted, so she didn't stop.
Megamind arrived in a rush; he had completely lost sight of the blonde girl. Then he looked at Agnes on the floor, face blue. Evaluating the situation nobody was on panic, so he stared at her with curiosity. Margo had to once again explain the reason of her sister's tantrum.
Megamind chuckled, about the little girl of the cute expression actually having a disobedient side.
"I like the color she's turning." Added playful, but stopped when faced Roxanne's glare.
Then he whistled and all the brainbots in the lair gathered around. Between them there was the pink one. The hero made it to hover next to Agnes, who just seeing it started breathing and with a giggle she trapped the poor robot with all her body. Margo distress was evident, the brainbot jaws were surely point; however, Megamind assured his "smurfeete" would never hurt her sister. The girl accepted to believe in his word, but added that if something actually happened the hero would be the only person to blame on.
Suddenly mayhem could be heard from the other side of the lair.
"Where's Edith?" Margo inquired, more as a warning than a question. Heavy bumps made the ground grumble under their feet. Edith had figured out how to control the gigantic robotic suit the hero had repaired after his battle with Tighten; and she was practicing some ballet steps along the back part of the lair.
Megamind and Minion couldn't but think "oh, crap." and ran towards where the commotion was going on. Roxanne followed them, ordering the eldest sister to stay with the little girl on there.
The opposite wall shattered to crumbles. "Oops..." Edith though. Up until then she could hear some cursing at the feet of the gigantic robot, the owner, his henchman and his girlfriend were trying to convince her to get down, but she was too far from them for even understand what they were screaming. Edith started to get nervous; maybe they were mad about the broken wall. She decided to get down, but then she realized the cabin couldn't be opened in the same way she used for entering. Inspecting the control panel to at least turn off the robot thingy, a bright red button attracted her attention strongly. Next to it there were several post it, on which it could be seen a smiley face and a lot of arrows pointing at it. The thing pleaded for being pushed, so Edith gave it the grace and pressed energetically her palm on it.
In a matter of seconds the girl was expelled as a cannon ball by the back part of the robot. Megamind, Roxanne and Minion panicked when seeing her fly through the air. The brainbots were playing with Agnes, but as soon as they saw Edith they dashed to catch her in mid air as if she was a wrench.
The adults ran for checking if the girl was ok; the brainbot's jaws only had ripped part of her sweater, and she had lost her hat, but she got no damage. As always Margo disapproved Edith's behavior, but winked her when no one was watching, then she obligated her younger sister to apologize. Megamind stated the three of them were already beyond evil.
After that incident they decided to keep each one an eye on each girl, to which girl was decided by a rock-paper-scissor game. Margo turned responsibility of Minion, while Edith was Roxanne's. Megamind was relieved he had won Agnes; he just had to teach her how to throw a wrench to the brainbots for leaving her occupied. Even if she couldn't do it very far, she was having a lot of fun and consequently, she ignored the rest of the world. Roxanne's task was a little harder, since Edith wasn't the calm type. She tried to sit with the girl for some small talk, but things turned mishap when awkward when Edith started to ask personal questions about her relationship with Megamind. Even though, the reporter had to stand it because at least this could keep the girl in one place.
Margo was the investigative type. Minion let her to take a tour trip around the lair. She had a lot to ask about the different weapons, the security, she even implied that the hero's properties were beyond the legal. When they were far enough from the rest, she asked as diplomatic as always.
"You know what? I should call Doctor Nefario. If you might lend me a cell phone, I could check if he's on his way"
Minion nodded and handed her his boss cell, the only in the lair that actually could have signal. Minion was about to leave her for having more privacy, plus keeping an eye on the other two girls, but Margo immediately hanged down the cell with annoyance.
"The line's busy"
"Perhaps you should try latter" Minion was at unease, it was getting late and his boss didn't seem like wanting to take the girls back to the hotel.
"If you lend me the cell phone later, that's what I'll do" Margo gave the henchman the cell phone back and smiled. Then she ran towards her sisters, who were now playing together with the brainbots. Roxanne gave his boyfriend a soft kiss on the lips, and pulled the hero by the hand for gather with the girls.
Author's note: I don't get tired of thanking you for all the support you had given me with your kind reviews, this story is yours after all (but remember the disclaimer too, lol). This episode was just a bunch of sweetness I was planning to write since the beginning. Don't they make a cute family? Well, the girls would rather be with Gru, but it's a long time before that could happen. By the way, the name of the pink brainbot it's only mentioned in the movie director's comments, but I think Megamind could also name it the same way.
