It was two days until the dance, and Megamind and Roxanne were enjoying their time together. Walking to classes, talking at lunch, and one time, Megamind even found the courage to hold her hand. It had given him butterflies beyond belief, and the rush was amazing. They both knew that they weren't "official" or anything, but that for sure wasn't set in stone. He was a very handsome alien to her, and more of a gentleman than any of the other guys at school.

And what could Megamind say about Roxanne? Where did he start? She was beautiful, for starters; and then there was the fact that she was independent and witty and could easily hold her own. She had a laugh that was music to his ears, and her sarcastic comments never failed to make him smile. She was just perfect.

He had gotten into the habit of meeting his date at her locker after school. It was her idea, actually, but of course it was his pleasure. He had figured out her combination just from seeing how far she turned the nob each time. He didn't dare open it without her permission, though. Besides, Roxanne was smart enough to know if he had been in there. And it wasn't like he had a reason to be in there, anyway.

Megamind smiled when he saw Roxanne walking down the hall with Tammy.

"There's your boyfriend," he heard.

"Cut it out," Roxanne laughed. "I'll talk to you later." The girls said their goodbyes, then Roxanne walked up to Megamind and wrapped her arms around him, even though she had just seen him about an hour ago.

He happily hugged her back, no longer feeling the nerves that he used to when he did so. "Am I walking you home?" he asked when they parted and walked towards the exit.

"Sure," the girl said casually. "Oh, and I finally picked up my dress yesterday."

"Really? What's it look like?"

"Not telling," she teased.

Megamind chuckled. He saw that coming. "That's fair," he said. "I'm sure it looks beautiful."

She gave him a playful shove. "Always with the compliments, Megamind," she giggled.

"Only to those who deserve them, Roxanne," he replied. He liked giving her compliments – it made her blush, which was probably the cutest thing he had ever seen.

"Knock it off," she laughed as they walked out the door. Flattered as she was, she felt a subject change was in order, but Megamind beat her to it.

"I have to ask, though," he spoke. "Is a dress really necessary? I mean, the Sadie Hawkins Dance ia traditionally less formal than, say, Homecoming or Prom."

"Well, it's nothing flashy," she explained. "And it's not like people go in their t-shirts and sweatpants."

"I see."

They went on walking for the next few blocks until they reached Roxanne's house. This was frequently their least favorite part of the day. Roxanne had to admit, there was a small possibility that she was falling for this blue alien. Megamind was far more along.

"So I'll see you tomorrow," he regretted to say.

"Yeah." She thought for a second about what to say next. "Umm…meet me at my locker tomorrow?"

"Sure!" he answered quickly, a little too eagerly than intended. "I'll be there."

"Okay, great." Before turning to go home, Roxanne wrapped her arms around the alien's middle again, much to his pleasant surprise.

He happily returned the embrace and, letting his feelings get the better of him again, swiftly brushed his lips across her cheeks. He couldn't help it, and she didn't seem to mind at all.

"See you tomorrow," he said, and headed home.

Roxanne walked to her door, but she didn't go in. Instead, she watched Megamind walk away, admiring how trim and toned he looked. As skinny as he was, he had incredible strength. It was an attractive quality. Definitely falling for him, she admitted to herself. Falling hard.

Minion had never seen his best friend so happy. He pranced into the lair like a love-struck fool. And maybe he was. He was definitely in a better mood these days since he had been spending more time with Roxanne. She had obviously made a good impression on him.

"She's perfect," the blue teen raved. "She has no flaws. Not one!"

Minion smiled. "That's great, sir."

"It's better than great! It's fantastic! She's the one, Minion, the one!"

"The one what, sir?" the fish asked, sorry to rain on his parade.

Megamind calmed down a bit, thinking. "What?"

"You said Miss Ritchi is 'the one'. What does that mean?"

"Well…" Megamind paused. "I've heard humans on the television say that when care about someone," the alien explained.

"Ahh, I see. And you care about Roxanne?"

"Yes! Very much. I would do anything for Roxanne."

The truth and caring in his voice let Minion know that his friend had it bad. There was definitely something special about this human.
