Everything Was So Perfect

Chapter 29

"Okay…choice one…" James said, lifting up one finger to his seven person audience.

Frank, Lilia, Ben, Monique, Megamind, Roxanne, and minion sitting on the couch and chairs in Roxanne's apartment watching him.

"Mountains." The police officer said.

"What?" Frank asked just as minion said excitedly, "Camping?"

"Frank, I said mountains. And yes, minion, if we decide to do that or stay in a cabin."

"Well…what mountains?" Frank asked.

"What do you mean what mountains? I mean mountains. How more specific do I have to be?"

"Well...they could be the Smoky Mountain, Rocky Mountains, Grandfather Mountains-" Megamind said, naming them off grumpily. "And minion, I don't think we'll go camping." With this last comment, minion slumped a bit.

"Well, fine then, Smoky Mountains." James said, a bit put out by their pickiness. "Anyway…choice two-" he opened his mouth to say the next choice when his wife interrupted him.

"Why would we not go camping?" she asked Megamind.

"Ohm, why would we?"

"I don't know! I think it would be fun. Don't shoot it down yet just because you're in a bad mood for some reason." She snapped at him.

Megamind turned toward her, glaring at the woman with the attitude.

"Choice two!" James spoke up louder, sensing danger between the two. "Hawaii."

"Nice!" Frank exclaimed.

"I like the sound of that." Monique said. "Going out in the sun, catching the rays, possible manicures. Oh! And getting in the water!"

"Who do you think is going to give you a manicure? The dolph-ines?" Megamind questioned, his face in a scowl.

"Woah there grumpy gills, no need to get all attitude!" she said.

Megamind had his arms crossed like a grumpy little kid across his chest and was grumbling incoherently under his breath when Roxanne grabbed him by the shoulders and laughed nervously. "Okay! It seems as though we're having a little snippiness here in the group! Megamind, why don't you apologize?" she asked sweetly.

"But…she said a mean thing first." He pouted.

"Well then, Monique?" James looked at his wife with raised eyebrows as if he were looking at a child in trouble.

"Don't look at me like that! He started it!" she said. But James just looked at her harder and crossed his arms over his chest.

She rolled her eyes and sighed. "Fine, fine. I'm sorry."

"Megs?" James said, looking at the blue alien that still had his arms crossed stubbornly.

"Don't look at me like that." He mumbled.

"Come on Megs, apologize." James urged calmly.

"You're not the boss of me." Megamind said stubbornly that made Roxanne fight the urge to giggle. She knew he wasen't normally like this, there was a reason.

"Come on sweetheart, apologize." Roxanne said sweetly.

He sighed and turned to Monique who stared at him with attitude still on her face. "I'm sorry." He said.

"Good." James said softly.

"How about you go into the bedroom and take a nap?" Roxanne said.

"Okay…" he mumbled as he then attempted to stand up but only walked a few steps before he slumped back onto the floor on his hands and knees.

"You okay?" James asked as he started to walk forward, but Megamind just waved him away.

"I'll crawl." The blue alien said. And indeed he did as he crawled his way into Roxanne's room and out of the other's site. Leaving them, except for Roxanne, wondering what the heck just happened.

And to prove this point, they all turned to her with questioning looks. "What in the world was that all about?" Frank asked.

Roxanne rolled her eyes. "It's his pain medication that Dr. Phillips gave him. It makes him moody and tired. Sorry about that Monique." She said as she turned her head toward the woman.

"No problem, Roxanne." She said, having a new face. One that showed guilt. "I'm sorry I…you know…got attitude with him when he couldn't help it."

"It's fine. He should only have to take it a few more time and it only lasts a little bit." She said. "But anyway, moving on! What's the third choice, James?"

"Uh…yeah, right…third choice…um…New Zealand."

"What's in New Zealand?" Ben asked.

"Glad you asked!" James said. "Which is why I have these flyers for each of us." He passed a flyer out to each of them and they began scanning through them. "As you can see, this place has mountains and beaches!"

"Nice!" Frank said again, grinning at the flyer he was holding.

"It's beautiful…" Lilia breathed. "I think I've made my decision…" she said, looking up at James.

"We can go camping!" Minion said excitedly.

"Indeed we can, minion! Well, we have our choices. Let's take a vote." And with that, James took out some pens and small piece of paper and gave one to each of them and they began scribbling down their choice. "I'll uh…go see which on Mega-grump wants…"

James walked into the bedroom to see the alien sleeping on Roxanne's bed, one foot hanging over the side, showing just how sloppily he'd gotten onto the bed.

The police officer laughed quietly as he walked over to his friend. He leaned down and shook his shoulder gently. "Hey…" he whispered, getting a grunt in return. "Rocky Mountains, Hawaii, or New Zealand?"

"NewsZinland." He mumbled.

"New Zealand?" James questioned.

"New Zeiland."

"New Zealand." James said, looking at the blue alien strangely.

"Indeed." Megamind mumbled.

"Why New Zealand? Did you hear anything about what I said in the living room about it?" He asked this because he had told minion that they could go camping. And he knew how much Megamind didn't want to go camping.

"No. The name sounds cool." He concluded, still mumbling tiredly.

"Okay." James laughed as he stood up.

Walking into the living room again, he held out a jar to each of the now six people. "Put your votes in the jar and we'll see where we're going."

They each put their votes in the jar as he went along the line. "Well aren't you just mister large and in charge?" Ben smirked as he put his vote into the jar.

"Yes, yes I am." James smiled at him.

Then, standing in front of them again. He removed the first vote and held it up between two fingers. "First vote…"

Megamind awoke a little while later to the sound of voices outside the bedroom. He also woke up to slight discomfort. Sitting up and rubbing a hand over his face to try and wipe the sleep away, he then noticed he was wearing black jeans along with a white t-shirt with a black design on it.

'No wonder…sleeping with jeans on is never comfortable.'

He then walked over to the door and opened it to see everyone walking around the apartment and sitting and eating. Looking excited and happy.

Music was playing low on the cd player to a song that he recognized as, The Pineapple Song by After the Sunset. And Roxanne, Lilia, and Monique were cooking in the kitchen. 'What's all the fuss about?'

"So…tell me again what that means?" Minion asked as he sat on the couch with the other three men as they cheered loudly.

"That's a touchdown, minion." Frank said.

"What's so excited about touching down?" he asked.

The other three men laughed at this as minion looked completely confused. But minion then noticed his best friend shuffle over to beside the couch. "Well hello there, sir! Have a nice nap?"

"Yes, actually I did, minion." He replied, smiling tiredly at him.

"Look who's up!" Ben said waving at him, though he was only a few feet away.

"If it isn't mister grumpy." James said, smiling at him.

Megamind grunted in response, but still gave a small grin. He then looked over his shoulder at the kitchen. "Sorry about earlier, Monique!" he called.

"It's no problem, hon." She said. "Just don't do it again."

He smiled in response to this and turned to the television to see a football game. "Oh yeah, and sir…" minion said, making Megamind look down at his friend.

"Yes, minion?"

"We're going to New Zealand!"

With this, everyone in the apartment gave a loud cheer. "That's great. I don't really know what's in New Zealand but…that's great." He said smiling.

"And that's not all!" Frank said, excited to see Megamind's reaction to the next part.

"What?"

"We're not just going to New Zealand…" minion said, grinning, looking as if he was about to burst with excitement.

"What? What do you-"
"We're going camping in New Zealand!"

With this, the whole apartment cheered again as Megamind gave a twitch of the eye. "Camping?" he breathed out.

'This is going to be an interesting vacashon…'

Megamind and friends are going camping! Hoooooorah! :D
