Okay, here's the final chapter. I hope it's good, I had to rewrite most of it (but that's partly because it didn't save...again.) Anyway, enjoy! Just a heads up, like with Family Reunion, I'm kinda ending this with an epilogue.
It was a normal afternoon in Metro City. The cool, autumn wind blew gently, lifting up his leather cape as he walked towards his hoverbike. After dehydrating the bags and putting the cube in his pocket, Megamind climbed onto the hoverbike and drove away.
The alien checked his watch. 5:30. He was right on schedule. Smiling to himself, Megamind turned a corner and nearly missed hitting a speeding car! It made Megamind lose control for a few seconds and almost crash into a parked car, but he was able to gain control back.
"What on Earth?" Megamind said, looking down the street at the speeding car. He then heard police sirens coming closer. Putting two and two together, Megamind got out his dehydrator, and aimed for the car.
He then shot a blue beam straight at the car. Bullseye! The car turned into a tiny, glistening cube and a confused man was laying on the pavement, along with a bag of money. Realizing what had happened, the man stood up, grabbed the money and tried to run, but the police cars had already arrived. Two cops got out, and quickly grabbed the man.
"Thanks Megamind," one of the officers said while the criminal was being thrown into the car.
"You're welcome," Megamind said politely.
Yes, Megamind was still the hero of Metro City. There had been criminals and 'super' villains (Megamind didn't think they were super at all, more like amateurs), but with the help of his inventions and of course Minion, he managed to defeat them all. He was still the hero, and (to his relief and happiness) he still had the girl.
Speaking of which... "Sorry I can't stay to chat," said Megamind, "but I must be going."
"Of course," said the officer. Everyone in Metro City knew what day it was. The officers waved goodbye, and Megamind quickly sped away on his bike. The hero checked his watch again. 5:35. That didn't take too long, but he still wanted to hurry. He was going to make sure everything went perfectly. After all, it was a special occasion.

Roxanne looked up at the clock. 6:05. Almost time for her husband's 'surprise'. She looked at herself in the mirror.
The reporter's look hadn't really changed in the past few years (yes, she was still a reporter, one of if not the best in Metro City). She still looked the same. Still had short brown hair, although she had let it grow a couple inches or so, so it wasn't quite a pixie cut anymore. She was wearing her favorite dress, the blue one she had worn at the Megamind museum opening. She was also wearing pearl earrings and of course, the blue necklace Megamind had made her.
"Bow bow!"
Roxanne turned around. One of the few brainbots with a red fin was staring at her, wagging her tail. "Ruby, what are you doing down here, girl?" Roxanne asked, stroaking the brainbot's dome.
"Bow bow!" Roxanne smiled.
"Yes, it's nice to see you too," said Roxanne. Most of the time, the brainbots stayed up in the lab on the top floor or in the observatory. But there were times when the bots would sneak down and play with the other members of the family.
That's right, others.
"Ash! Stop it!"
"Stop what?"
"You know what!"
Roxanne rolled her eyes, and turned back to the brainbot. "Why don't you go check on Daddy? Make sure he's getting ready." Roxanne knew her husband came home about half an hour ago, but there were times that he sometimes got distracted. Ruby barked and flew away, letting Roxanne out of the bedroom.
She walked into the living room where she saw her two of her kids. They were yelling, but that was normal for the two of them.
"I thought I told you to stop flying your planes around me," said the girl, who was sitting on the couch with a book.
"I wasn't! I can't control the wind currents," replied the boy, who was holding a remote controller.
"Oh don't act smart, I know you did it on purpose."
Can't those two go one day without fighting, Roxanne thought as she walked over to the arguing siblings. "Hey, both of you, stop arguing," said Roxanne, "I want you to promise that you won't fight and that you'll behave for Minion tonight."
"Don't we always behave, Mom?" her son asked, giving an innocent smile. Roxanne and her daughter just rolled their eyes.
Emerald Marie, or Emmy, was the eldest daughter. She was almost ten years old. She had blue skin, bright green eyes (hence her name) and long, raven black hair. While she looked more like her father, Emmy's personality was a perfect mix of her mother and father.
Her brother Brandon Ashwell, or Ash, was the opposite. He was the middle child, and was seven, though he had the intelligence and personality of a ten year old. He had short, messy black hair, white skin like Roxanne (though the tips of his ears were purple like Megamind), and brown eyes.
He looked more like Roxanne, but had most of his father's personality. He loved to make things, especially things that involved flight. Megamind had to lock up his rocket boots and jetpacks just so Ash wouldn't test drive them. Ash could also be a little mischievous at times.
Roxanne knew that while the siblings loved to argue and fight with each other, they also loved each other, at least most of the time.
Just then, a toy plane flew over Emmy's head and nearly caught some of her long hair. "Brandon!" Quickly, Emmy grabbed the plane before it could escape.
"Hey don't! You're going to break it!" shouted Ash, trying to grab the plane, but Emmy held it high above her head (she was about a foot taller than her brother). "Emerald, let it go!"
"Hey!" shouted Roxanne, quickly getting the kids' attention, "Emmy, give the plane back. Ash, play with the toy upstairs for now." Ash pouted, but went upstairs with the toy once Emerald gave it back.
"Thanks Mom," said Emmy, getting back to her book.
"You can thank me by trying not to argue with your brother tonight while we're gone," said Roxanne. She saw the look on her daughter's face. "Or at least try."
"Okay, I'll try," replied Emmy. She stayed quiet for a few minutes while her mother got on her heals. "Mom? It happened again."
"Hmm?" said Roxanne.
"I heard someone's thoughts," said Emmy, "today, at school. When the teacher was passing out assignments, I heard her think 'maybe this will keep them quiet for a few minutes'."
Roxanne silently chuckled at the teacher's comment, but then turned her attention back on her daughter. "How many times has this happened this month?"
"This is the fifth time," replied Emmy. They were getting more frequent. Roxanne knew this might happen, since Emmy has half Azullon. Female Azullons developed psychic powers, like the ability to read minds and telekinesis. Lactea had said this might happen, but her powers would probably be weakened since she was half human. But so far, they've been pretty strong.
"Well, I'll give Grandma a call," said Roxanne, putting a comforting hand on her daughter's shoulder, "she can help you control your powers, and your father and I can help you with anything else you need."
Emmy gave a small smile. "Thanks Mom."
Just then, a timer went off, and within a few moments, the smell of another delicious meal from a certain fish traveled into the living room and into the noses of the two girls, nearly making their mouths water.
"Dinner will be served in five minutes," said Minion, as he walked into the living room wearing his traditional 'Kiss the Cook' apron.
"Great," said Emmy, "it smells delicious, Min." Min was Emmy's nickname for Minion, and she used it often, but Minion didn't mind. Minion cooked most of the meals since not only was he the best cook in the house, but also loved to cook. Minion played the role of older brother for all the kids in the house, and didn't mind it one bit.
"I know, I almost wish I could stay here for it," said Roxanne. But knowing her husband, Megamind already had a dinner prepared, made up of the best food in Metro City.
"I'll make sure to save you some leftovers," said Minion. Roxanne was about to thank him when she heard a set of cries from upstairs. She stood up, but was stopped.
"I've got it!" she heard Megamind shout from upstairs.
"Okay!" Roxanne yelled back. She knew her husband was capable of handling it, despite the fact that her husband was absolutely terrified of taking care of babies a few years ago. It took her almost a month to convince him that he wouldn't 'break the babies'. Once that fear was over, Megamind was a natural father.
Within a few minutes, the elevator doors opened, and Megamind (who was wearing a black dress shirt -collar up-, and black dress pants) stepped out holding two one year olds. He slowly put them down on the ground, and they walked towards Roxanne and Minion.
"They're alright," said Megamind, "I think they just knew we would be leaving soon."
The twins, Melissa and Micheal (or Mellie and Mikey) were one year old. Mellie had white skin while Micheal had blue skin. They both had dark brown hair and dark forest green eyes. At one year old, they could both walk (though they loved being carried by their parents or Minion), could say about two dozen words, and were learning how to run.
"Speaking of which, where are you taking Mom tonight?" Emmy asked.
"Ah ah ah, my lips are sealed," replied Megamind, making Emmy giggle, "It's a surprise."
"Well, don't you think we should be going so we don't miss this 'surprise'," asked Roxanne.
"Yes, of..." Megamind started to say but was interrupted by the sound of feet running down the stairs.
"Dad! I got it! I got it to work!" shouted Ash, running up to his dad with a toy helicopter and a controller.
"Got what to work?" Megamind asked.
"Watch this," said Ash, setting the helicopter on the coffee table. He pressed a button on the controller, and the helicopter hovered up. He pressed another button, and out of the front windsheild of the helicopter, a tiny cannon came out and shot an M&M right into Ash's mouth. Megamind smiled proudly while the twins clapped and cheered.
"That's great!" said Megamind, "can it shoot any other candies?"
"Working on it," said Ash, "I can only use candy that won't melt right away next to the motor. I was thinking of trying candy corn."
"Ooh, I could use a candied corn cannon," said Megamind with a gleam in his eyes, making Ash smile and Roxanne roll her eyes.
"I was also thinking of a way to make it fly higher," said Ash, "maybe I can borrow..."
"No," Megamind and Roxanne said in unison. Ash pouted. They knew he was going to ask to borrow some of Megamind's hover or rocket technology. They also knew he would probably use it to 'improve' his custom leather sneakers.
"Nice try though," said Minion, smiling at Ash. Ash was so much like his master as a kid, so he and Minion had a good connection.
"It was worth a try," said Ash, giving a slight smile.
"Well, dear, we should get going," said Megamind. Upon hearing this, the twins looked up at their parents with sad eyes.
"Hey, hey, don't cry guys," said Emmy, closing her book and setting it on the couch, "how about I take you up to the library and read you a story?"
"Yeah, and I can show you more tricks with my helicopter," said Ash. Hearing this, Minion knew he was going to be vacuuming up M&M's for a week at least.
Emmy held out her hands, and the twins took them. The two siblings then led the toddlers to the elevator to take them up to the library.
"They're good kids, aren't they?" Minion said, once the elevator doors closed.
"Yes, they are," Megamind said proudly. Roxanne smiled, and held Megamind's hand. The two of them then stood up. Roxanne knew if they didn't get going, they would be late for the surprise, whatever it was.
"Well, you two have fun," said Minion, smiling, "I'll take it you'll be home in a few hours?"
"Sounds about right," said Roxanne, grabbing her coat while Megamind grabbed his leather jacket.
"I'll make sure all of the kids are in bed by nine," said Minion.
"Okay," Roxanne and Megamind said in unison. They waved goodbye and headed out the door.
"Sir?" Minion said once Roxanne was out the door. Megamind looked at him. "Code: Good luck with the surprise."
"Code: Thanks," Megamind said, smiling at the fish before shutting the door.
The two walked out to the garage, and got into the invisible car (now in 'visible mode') parked outside the garage. Megamind eagarly pressed the big red button, and the car not only turned invisible, but started to slowly float up into the air.
"So, we're flying to the surprise?" Roxanne asked with a slightly raised eyebrow.
"Yes," Megamind said, "and that's all the information you're getting." Roxanne just smiled and sat back to enjoy the ride.
Turns out Megamind had wanted the invisible car to be able to fly for years. But it was hard for a car to be not only invisible but to be able to fly at the same time. He didn't really have a lot of time to work on it. But, about two and a half years ago, he finally got it to work. The whole family was so excited when it worked, and to celebrate, they drove to the nearest amusement park (which normally took two and a half hours to get to but only took half an hour) and spent the whole afternoon there. It was one of the fun family moments Megamind and Roxanne knew only their family would have.
After five minutes of driving, Roxanne looked out the window and saw that she was by the Metro Tower. Roxanne glanced down at her ring finger, her wedding ring giving off a sign when the indoor car lights hit it. The homemade balcony Megamind proposed to her on was still there, only now there was a table and chairs there, along with two wine glasses, a lit candle jar and a floating chandelier (Roxanne didn't even question how it was floating).
A brainbot opened the door and helped Roxanne out of the car. Once she was safely in her seat, the car floated down to be parked on ground level. Within a few minutes, Megamind floated back up holding a bottle of champagne and flowers (specifically blue roses and violets).
"You got the anti gravity belt to work?" Roxanne asked as Megamind got in his chair.
"Yep," said Megamind, handing the flowers to Roxanne, "works like a lucky charm!"
"Well that's good," said Roxanne, smiling proudly at her husband. Just then, more brainbots flew over. One opened up the champagne bottle and poured some into the glasses, another flew over with a violin and started to play it. "A violin playing brainbot?" Roxanne asked.
"What, too much?" Megamind asked.
"Maybe just a little."
Megamind pouted. "Your criticisms on my attempts to be romontick hurt, Ms. Ritchi," he said in fake hurt, making Roxanne giggle. He still used Ms. Ritchi as her nickname despite the fact they were married.
"Well, I guess it does add some atmosphere," said Roxanne.
"Exactly!" said Megamind. They both laughed and smiled at each other. Their meals came, delivered by brainbots of course.
"So, this is the surprise?' Roxanne asked.
"Yep, a celebritory dinner on Metro Tower," Megamind said proudly, "which I figured had enough sentimental value for any dinner to take place on and still feel special."
"Simple, yet sweet," said Roxanne, making Megamind blush a little, "I love it. Thank you."
"You're welcome," Megamind replied, smiling and no longer blushing. "So Ms. Ritchi, you've interviewed me before," said Megamind, "now it's my turn."
"Okay Mr. Mind," said Roxanne, "what questions do you have in mind?"
"Just one," replied Megamind, "Did you ever imagine your life being like this?"
Roxanne thought about her life, at the same time Megamind thought about his, despite being the one who asked the question. They both ended up marrying each other despite being almost enemies in the beginning. They lived in what was once an abandoned building/secret evil lair but was now their home. They drove an invisible flying car, had four kids and over a thousand brainbots as pets. Not only that, but the man and woman who were thought to be a villain and a damsel were now a superhero father and a reporter mother.
Finally, Roxanne answered.
"No, I never thought my life would be like this," said Roxanne, "but than again, I don't think I could imagine something so great."
"Neither could I," said Megamind as the two leaned closer to one another. "Happy Tenth Anniversary, Roxanne." The two then kissed happily.
"Happy Tenth Anniversary, Megamind," Roxanne replied once their lips parted, but they didn't stay that way for long.
Like so many times before, Megamind didn't know how the future would play out, but he knew that it would be alright as long as he and his happy family stuck together.
One big, happy, Mega-family.
Phew! (Hits head on laptop) Done! You would not believe how hard it was to write this chapter. I wanted it ten years in the future just to show that Megamind and Roxanne were still happy together and to show their family's relationship with each other. I tried hard to make the characters not be OOC, the kids to be likable, and the chapter not to seem too sitcomy/corny. Also, quick fact: If you own "The Art of Megamind" book, you probably know where the violin brainbot came from (actually he had a bass, but violins are easier to carry).
Thanks for reading/reviewing "A Mega Wedding", and please review the last chapter. Reviews are nice :) Okay, bye :)
Edit: The sequel for this story has been cancelled. I'm sorry, but I would rather leave the stories on a good note like this, than ending it on a bad story filled with Mary Sues (which was what it started to feel like to me). Again, sorry, but I will still continue writing MM fanfics, and who knows, maybe I'll try again for a sequel. Ciao ciao all.
