A/N: Holy flying fudge that is a lot of reviews. I never thought that this thing would get much attention honestly. This is almost unbelievable for me. My first fic got only three reviews and now I have this. Might explain why I spazz on how much I love you guys each and every chapter. XD Thank you so much.

Anyhow this is for Geekgirl. She gave me three lovely ideas that just had to be done. Here is one of the ideas that immediately struck my fancy. I hope you like!

I don't own the Energizer Bunny. XP

Warden Blackwell gave a small groan under his breath at the chaos erupting in front of him. It figured that the blue wonder couldn't even let a simple release of a prisoner go without incident.

Prisoner 45-85-11 was had served his time and was now rejoining society as Robert Parker once more. Parker had royally pissed off a bigwig in Metro City by convincing the man that he was investing in a very profitable copper mine in Romania. Blackwell rolled his eyes at the man's stupidity. You just don't mess with the higher ups. It never ended well.

The bigwig, a family friend of the mayor, had been positively enraged when he discovered that all mines in Romania were state owned. Therefore, it was virtually impossible to invest in one. Parker had been slowly stealing money for two years from the man and had changed documents as needed. Parker had been sentenced for ten years for fraud.

Parker had roughly five years left to serve when Syx had literally landed into all of their lives. The two had formed a close bond despite all the things Parker had convinced Syx were true. The whole "blue monster in the sky that eats children" was just a recent example. Blackwell had been almost sure the brat hadn't forgiven the man for that particular little lie.

"YOU CAN'T LEAVE! I DON'T WANT YOU TO GO!" Syx practically wailed from his position on Parker's leg. He had his arms and legs firmly wrapped around the leg and no one could convince him to let go. Even the fish was firmly rooted on one of the man's shoes.

Apparently he was wrong and the pest had forgiven the con man for his tall tale. Blackwell had a strong temptation to put his hands over his ears as some of his men were doing. The kid had to have larger lungs than the average human.

"I'm real sorry little blue but I can't stay here anymore. You see I served my time and now it is time for me to rejoin the outside world. After all I have been a pain in a butt for the Ol' Warden for these past ten years. Probably be for the best that I move on," cajoled Parker as he gently tried to remove the blue child from his leg. No such luck.

Warden could feel his limited patience slipping from his grasp. All he wanted was a simple release of one of his more annoying inmates. Was that too much to ask for?

Blackwell stiffened as Parker motioned for him to come closer. If Parker thought that he was going to deal with the blue menace then he had unpleasant surprise coming.

Nonetheless the Warden wandered closer to the freed man. Perhaps he had an idea to remove the child? Be it butter or a crowbar he didn't care. Whatever worked was fine by him.

To his immense disappointment Parker concern was over the brat's emotional state. Not a about forcibly removing the brat from his leg. Pity.

"He is just upset. Kids don't like sudden change to their lives and this certainly fits the bill. Would it be alright if I talked to him for a bit?" Parker asked with a sad grin.

"If it gets you out of my prison then I don't care what you do. Just return him when you're done, alright?"

Parker had the brass too actually sound amused as he replied, "Aw, don't worry Warden. I won't steal him away from you."

Blackwell glared as he stormed away from the man. As if he cared if Parker wanted steal the kid or not. That would just remove another thorn from his side. Still, he signaled some guards to stand by during the talk. Had to make sure Parker didn't decide to free some friends with him. They could decide to bring Syx back with them.

~BR~

Robert Parker snickered as the Warden stomped back into the prison. He really was treading on thin ice when he teased the man about his affection for Syx. Though it was almost impossible not to. Blackwell was so in denial about his feelings for Syx that it was hilarious to simply watch the two interact.

However, thoughts of one little blue alien quickly reminded him of matters at hand. Or more specifically, the matter attached to his leg.

He quietly addressed the child trying to become a permanent fixture on his leg. "Hey Syx, I need you to listen to me OK? So I need you to quiet down a bit so we can talk."

That succeeded in somewhat calming the kid down at least. Syx dragged an arm across his face and looked up at him.

Parker could feel his heart turning to mush at the kid's face. He looked like someone had told him Minion had died or something. The fish in question was also looking mournfully up at him from atop his foot.

Parker quickly turned his gaze toward a nearby mud stain on his Minion less shoe. It wouldn't due for those guards to see him bawling like a baby because a fish and a kid were giving him the kicked puppy dog look. He had an image to maintain.

"If we are going to talk then I also need you to let go of my leg. Can you do that for me?"

"You won't run away right?" At Parker's nod the kid slowly released his death grip. Syx sat on the ground with his back resting on the prison gate and gathered Minion into his arms. The fish said nothing and allowed Syx to use him as a teddy bear.

Now that he could finally feel his right leg, Parker set crossed legged on the ground next to Syx with a sigh.

"Why do you have to go away?" Syx asked his "Uncle".

"Well my time is up and I can't stay any longer. That's the funny thing about prison. They won't let you leave when you want to. But as soon as the time comes they shove you out as fast as they can."

"Uncle 94-22-7 said you would be back soon. Since this was your third time in jail, you couldn't change. He said you would be back in a couple months. Is that true?" Syx asked with in a hopeful tone.

Parker didn't want to upset the kid but he needed to be set straight. "No, I won't be coming back Syx. I'm going straight."

This was met by outright disbelief on Syx's part. "But everyone says REAL criminals never give up crime! No matter if they are thrown into the prison a thoosend times! Even the Warden believes that!"

Parker finally stopped observing the horizon and stared hard at the child. "Now you listen to me Syx and you listen well." Parker waited until Syx gave a startled nod before continuing. "Never let someone tell you what you can't or cannot do. I decided I want to spend the rest on my life on the good side of the law. I will keep going for that goal. You just have to make a goal and keep going, and going, and going until you reach it."

"Like the Energizer Bunny?"

That certainly broke him off the speech he had been forming in his head. "What?"

Syx held a watery smile on his face. "You know the commercial. The pink rabbit that never ever ceases to move?"

Parker couldn't help it. He barked out a laugh and shoved Syx affectionately in the side. "Exactly little blue. Hey, he could be your role model or something."

"I don't want a pink rodent for a role model! It's pink, stupid, and girly!" shrieked Syx as he waved his small arms in indignation.

"He has some pretty sweet shades and a kickass drum though. Besides pink would so compliment you're skin tone!"

Syx didn't bother to reply to the last comment. He simply gave a mock roar and tackled his laughing uncle to the ground.

Two months later

Warden Blackwell doubtfully eyed the letter in his hands. Parker had soon moved to Romania after he had been released. He had apparently made some "friends" there and had opened his own outlet store. He had written that if Syx ever needed anything than he would sell it to him for a very cheap price for his favorite nephew.

For reasons Blackwell couldn't fathom Parker had also included a large poster of the Energizer Bunny. Must be some wired inside joke. Blackwell shrugged and motioned for a guard to take the mail to the brat. The kid certainly had one odd sense of humor.

~BR~

Figured Syx would throw a fit when the time came for one of his "family members" had to leave.

Always did love Megamind's persistence in the movie. He never gave up, even when everything was going against him.

I tried to be factual about Romanian Mines. If it is wrong then I apologize in advance.

The true criminals never give up crime line was also thought up by Geekgirl. Thanks for the idea and I hope you like it!
