The odd pair definitely attracted attention when they arrived at the school. Some people took their budding relationship better than others, but Megamind and Roxanne had stopped caring days ago. He parked the bike and offered his date a hand to help her off. "Are you ready for this?" he asked before the walked in.

Roxanne simply smiled, gave his hand a squeeze, and pushed the door open. Only about half the lights in the building were on, but the music could be heard all through the school. They walked to the gym where all the action was happening. They found Holly and Tony, deep in conversation.

"Hey," Roxanne called, trying to be heard trying be heard over the loud music.

"Hey!" Holly gave her friend a quick hug, then looked awkwardly at the alien standing next to her. "Hi…Megamind."

"Ollo, Holly," he greeted in his usual, polite way. "Having fun?"

"Yeah, we're trying," Holly sighed. "It's just really hot and crowded in here right now."

"Looks like it," Roxanne noted, scanning the faces in the room. Then she turned to Megamind. "Why don't we go sit down for a while?"

He shrugged casually. "Sure."

"See you later, Holly," she said as she and Megamind headed for the decorated tables.

"Do want something to drink," he asked before sitting down.

"Yeah, that'd be great."

He walked through the crowd to the punch bowl and poured two glasses. As he turned to get back to his date, he noticed that his seat had been taken by none other than Wayne Scott. Roxanne had the most annoyed look on her face, obviously not wanting to be anywhere near the super-powered teen. Megamind marched over and stood beside her and she smiled to see him back.

"What do you want?" Wayne demanded, less amused.

"My seat back," the alien told him. "And I want you to leave Roxanne alone."

"Why should I?"

Megamind sighed, already tired of this conversation. "Well, she's my date, for one thing."

His enemy looked surprised. "What?"

Roxanne rolled her eyes and stood up from her seat. "I told you that Wayne," she said. "Weren't you listening?"

"I guess I was too busy getting lost in your eyes," he responded with a smirk.

Megamind and Roxanne exchanged glances and burst out laughing.

"Gag me," Roxanne said. "That is the absolute corniest thing I've ever heard!"

Wayne had reached the end of his jealousy rope. He reached forward and grabbed Megamind by the tie, almost knocking the blue teen off his feet. "Listen to me, Blueberry Head," he said in a low, threatening voice. "You and Roxanne will never last. One day she'll wake up and realize she's made a mistake, and then she'll dump you on your ass."

Megamind's pride was taking a huge beating. What if Wayne was right? What if Roxanne was just taking pity on him? Maybe she didn't really like him at all.

"Wayne, you shut your mouth!" Roxanne suddenly hissed. "Stop lying to him. I do like him. I like him a lot. Yeah, he has blue skin and a big head, but you're just as alien to Earth as he is, and he's more of a man than you'll ever be. So you can just leave us alone!"

Both Megamind and Wayne were completely and totally shocked. Roxanne had never gone off on anyone like that, and the fire in her eyes was enough proof that she was dead serious. And everyone in school knew that once Roxanne had made up her mind, there was no changing it back.

She was over this. She walked away, expecting only one of them to follow. The blue teen walked slowly behind her, but quickly lost her in the crowd. But when he heard a commotion, he shoved his way through his peers, not caring if they fell over or not. When he reached the spot where the punch bowl was, he found that it had been knocked over, and the contents were all over Roxanne. She was sitting on the floor, on the brink of tears.

Megamind didn't know what had happened, and he didn't care. He could already hear the chuckles arising, and he wasn't about to let Roxanne's embarrassment be the entertainment of their classmates. He pulled to her feet and took her hand. He had no problem clearing a path to the exit, but by the time they left, the mocking laughter had already erupted.

Once outside, Megamind turned to look at Roxanne. Her dark blue dress was stained and ruined, and her eyes were wet with tears. He felt absolutely terrible for her. "What happened?" he asked quietly, gently putting his hands on the side of her face and wiping away the tears with his thumbs.

She sniffled and looked off to the side. "Wayne grabbed by wrist to talk to me," she explained with a shaky voice. "but I pulled away from him and ran into the table." She through her arms around him and cried into his chest. "It was so humiliating!" she sobbed.

Megamind returned the embrace, trying his best to understand. He knew that worse things could happen to her, things he didn't even want to think about, but he also knew how cruel high school students could be. They would be teasing her about this for a while, given her reputation for being so strong and independent. But anyone who dared mess with Roxanne would face to wrath of Megamind!

"Let's go," he said after a few minutes of letting her cry. He wanted to take her away from this place.

"Go where?" she asked, wiping her eyes.

Megamind only smiled and led her to the hoverbike. He revved the engine and flew off into the sunset.
