Hello People!... if there are any people... Here is the second chapter! It's all about Minion! please leave a review!
The reception was going very well. They had gotten through the speeches, the cake-cutting, (When Megamind pulled out a cake gun and Roxanne called his bluff, knowing he wouldn't actually shoot it) and the first dance. Now people were dancing, eating, and having a great time! The reception was going so well that Minion had no idea what to do with himself.
"Minion, I hate to see you stupidly standing about! Come, join the dance!" Megamind said to him as he walked over.
"I don't know Sir, I want to be ready in case anything goes wrong. This is your day and I can't let anything mess it up" Minion replied.
Megamind looked at his friend. "Minion, you fantastic fish you. You've already done so much to make this a perfect day, and it has been the best day of my entire life. Thank you." He said honestly. Then his serious face changed to a playful one. "The only thing that could mess this day up now is you standing here looking as if the api-calyps could start at any second."
Minion's touched expression also changed and he rolled his eyes. "it's apocalypse Sir. And I don't…"
Megamind wasn't about to listen to his friend's excuses. "You know what? I bet there's a fish somewhere around here who could help me get you to have some fun." Megamind said. "One with beautiful eyes and shining scales…"
"I don't know what you're talking about" Minion lied as he shuffled his feet and unintentionally glanced to where Roxanne was talking to Cloe's minion.
It was quick, but Megamind saw where his friend looked. "So, Sara is the lucky fish that has captured my best friend's heart." Megamind said looking his friend in the eye. Minion returned a less confident stare. He was trying to think of something to say that would distract Megamind… suddenly Megamind let out an evil-sounding laugh.
Minion immediately knew what he was thinking, and glared. "You wouldn't dare." He said.
"Oh, wouldn't I?" Megamind playfully asked, then started toward Roxanne and Sara. "Hey, Sara! I have a favor to ask you!"
Minion immediately dropped to the ground and rolled behind a nearby bush. From his "hiding place," he could see Megamind talking to Roxanne and Sara. Megamind glanced in his direction and he ducked. When he looked again, Sara was gone and Megamind and Roxanne were dancing.
"Hi there!" Someone said from right next to him. Minion let out a sort of scream of surprise. "Oh sorry I didn't mean to scare you..." Minion looked over and saw bright orange scales, and a pair of purple eyes looking back at him.
"Oh, Hi Sara. You didn't scare me, you just surprised me." Minion replied.
"Right." Sara said. An awkward silence passed. Sara broke it. "Hey, this is kind of embarrassing to ask, but what is your name again? I've been trying and trying to remember it. I'm usually really good with names, but all I can think when I look at your face is "Minion." Which we're all called Minion of course, I just can't remember your other name. It's even worse since you remember my name."
Minion finally had an opportunity to reply. "No, It's okay. I actually don't have a name besides Minion, so that would be the reason you don't remember." He said.
"Oh. well that doesn't seem very fair." Sara said.
"I know, I thought it seemed like Roxanne was showing favoritism toward me too. But, don't blame Roxanne, she's been calling me Minion as long as she's known me, so it would be weird for her to switch now." Minion replied with a smile.
Sara laughed. "I didn't mean not fair as a good thing for you, I meant it as a bad thing. I love having a second name, and so does everyone else. It doesn't seem fair that you don't get to have one." She clarified.
"Oh." Minion said. "I guess I hadn't thought about it like that."
"Really? Your fine with not having a second name?" Sara asked.
"Well, now since you asked, it would be nice to have a second name, but I never thought of it as unfair." Minion answered.
Suddenly, Sara's purple eyes grew bright with excitement. "I know! I can give you your second name?"
"What?" Minion asked.
"I mean, would that be alright with you, if I thought of a good name?" She said, slightly embarrassed.
"Yes!… Sorry I was just surprised the first time you asked…. That's so thoughtful of you… But yes I would like that very much." Minion said.
"Great! Sara exclaimed, then she squinted her eyes looked up, and stuck her tongue out as if concentrating really hard on her thoughts.
Minion's smile faded as she continued to make that face without showing any sign of thinking of a good name anytime soon. he cleared his throat. "you know, I'm not in a huge hurry to have an extra name, so you don't have to worry about thinking about it right now if you don't want to."
"Oh." Sara said, breaking the expression. "Right. Sorry."
Minion smiled "That's alright. Instead, do you want to go dance? This is my favorite song." Minion suggested as "crazy train" started playing.
"Sure!" Sara said. At that point, they realized that they were still crouched behind the bush. They laughed about it, then Minion helped Sara up and led her to the dance floor.
Minion's nervousness had started to go away, but for some reason it came back full force as they started dancing. "So, I noticed Megamind talking to you… What exactly did he say?"
Sara Smiled. "He was worried that you weren't having a good time. he said you were too busy waiting for the apocalypse, and judging by the fact that I found you hiding behind a bush, I would say he was right!" she started laughing at that, and Minion laughed too. Somehow the apocalypse joke was funnier coming from her than Megamind. "Anyway, he asked me to find you and see if I could get you to lighten up. I wonder why he asked me and not Andrew or one of the other Minions." She commented.
Minion chuckled nervously. "Yeah… That's weird." He said. Sara frowned slightly. "But I mean, I'm glad he asked you." He quickly amended. "I am having more fun." He smiled.
Sara smiled back. "Me too." She said. They were quiet for a moment, Then Minion burst out singing Crazy train at the top of his lungs while playing the air guitar. Sara joined in and played air drums along with him.
After a song or two of being silly and having a good time, Sara spoke again. "Hey I've been meaning to ask you something. Later, when you go decorate the getaway car, can I come with and help?" she asked.
"I would say yes but I don't know what you're talking about. Minion said.
"You know, the car that the bride and groom leave in?" Minion had a rather blank expression. "C'mon, it's a wedding tradition! When the bride and groom aren't looking, the wedding party is supposed to sneak away and decorate their car and write "just married" on it."
"That sounds like fun! But how come you know about it and I don't?" Minion asked.
"Well, When Roxanne asked Cloe to be her maid of honor, Cloe was confused because she didn't know about earth traditions. I didn't want that to happen to her again, so I made it my business to know about all of earth's wedding traditions." Sara answered. "But, I'm surprised that you don't know about it."
"Yeah, me too. I asked Roxanne to give me a complete list of all the wedding traditions I needed to know about…" he stopped himself with a gasp. "Roxanne didn't want me to know!" he said looking offended, but then he got a look on his face that was a mixture of mischief and excitement. "What exactly do people decorate these cars with?"
"Well, window paint, sometimes balloons, streamers… lots of different things really, but the main one is window paint." Sara replied.
Minion held up his wrist and clicked his watch to change the frequency that it was set to, then he spoke into it. "Brainbots, we're going to need window paint, balloons, streamers… and silly string. Code don't let Daddy see you. Meet at the car." There was a bow-bow sound in reply, and they saw a few brain-bots leave. Minion looked back at Sara. "Hey, thanks for telling me about that."
"No problem." Sara said. They both just stood smiling at each other.
At that moment Nick's minion walked over. "Hey guys what's up?" he said.
Neither Sara nor Minion had noticed him, so they both jumped with surprise at hearing his voice. "Oh, hey Andrew." Minion said.
"Warning. You are now a third wheel. How do you wish to proceed?" said an automated voice coming from Andrew's suit.
"Haha, sorry, my suit seems to be malfunctioning." He said as he hit a button to shut the automated voice off. "Anyways, Hey Sister, hey he-who-shall-not-be-named."
"Brother!" Sara said in a reprimanding voice, though Minion didn't seem to mind.
Sara and Andrew had grown up together, and adopted each other as brother and sister. She loved him as if he really were her brother… And sometimes he got on her nerves as if he really were her brother. "don't you have somewhere else you can be?"
"No, not really." He said with an annoying smile.
"Hey do you want to help us decorate the getaway car?" Minion asked.
"Yeah!" Andrew replied right away. He was glad to have something to do.
"Great! We should probably ask Cloe and Nick to help too." Minion said.
Once the five of them got together, they were a great team decorating the car. Nick and Cloe were in charge of the window paint, Andrew the balloons, Sara the streamers, and Minion the silly-string. When they were finished the car looked fabulous…. And Nick and Cloe had paint all over their faces, Minion was wrapped in streamers, Sara was covered in silly string, and Andrew somehow had a little of everything on him, even Balloons.
They made their way back to the party as inconspicuously as possible. When they got there, Minion checked his watch. It was almost time for the bride and groom to leave, they had finished the car decorations just in time. Minion found Megamind and Roxanne and asked if they were ready to leave.
Instead of answering Megamind and Roxanne reacted to his appearance. "How did you come to be wrapped in all those streamers." Megamind asked.
Roxanne just put her hand on her hip and gave him a knowing look. "Alright Minion, how did you find out?" She asked.
Minion smiled. "Actually… I'm not going to tell you."
"Wow Minion! You finally gained the ability to resist her nosy reporter skills!" Megamind said, teasing both of them at once. "Though in this case, I am curious to know both of you are talking about." He added.
Minion shot a look at Roxanne as if to say "don't tell him."
"You'll see." Was all she said to Megamind.
A few minutes later Minion made the announcement to the guests that the bride and groom would be making their departure. He instructed everyone to line up across from each other and make a path to the car. Then he had the brianbots pass out squirt guns and then line up above the path holding dehydrated cubes. As Megamind and Roxanne ran down the path, the guests shot the cubes the brianbots were holding with the squirt guns, and the cubes turned into confetti.
As They got to the end of the line Megamind and Roxanne saw the car. "Minion, what have you done to my car!?" He asked is friend who was holding the door open for them "It looks fantastic!" he added with a huge grin.
Roxanne laughed. "It's an old tradition that the bridal party secretly decorates the car." She told Megamind. "I didn't tell Minion about it, but somehow, he found out."
Minion smiled. "Don't give me all the credit, I had help you know." He said. Roxanne and Megamind then noticed their other friends standing around covered in various decorative materials.
Megamind and Roxanne got in the car and drove away, shouting goodbye and waving as they went. The party went on for another hour or so, but gradually, everyone left. The brainbots did all the cleanup, barely having to be told. Eventually, everything was gone, and only Cloe, Sara, Nick, Andrew, and Minion were still at the park.
Sara noticed that Minion was still standing in the same place he had been when Roxanne and Megamind left. "Hey, you alright?" She asked him.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. It's just, things are going to be different now." He sighed. "And I'm not looking forward to spending a week by myself."
Sara thought for a moment. "Hey do you have message buddy?" she asked.
"No, what's that?" Minion asked.
"It's a website for chatting with friends. You should get an account, then I could message you, and you wouldn't be quite so lonely." Sara suggested.
"Yeah, that sounds nice. I think I'll do that." Sara gave him her account name so he could find her.
"Well, I better go." Sara said, noticing that Cloe, Nick, and Andrew seemed to be waiting for her.
"Yeah, me too." Minion replied he wanted to say something else but he was also unsure. He decided to go for it. "Hey… maybe we can hang out later this week." Minion suggested.
"Yeah, that would be fun!" Sara agreed. "Well, goodnight… David!" She exclaimed. "That name just came to me now. Do you like it?" She asked.
"Hmm, David. Yeah I do like it!" Minion said.
"Well then, goodnight David." She said again.
"Goodnight Sara" Minion replied. He got on his segway and rolled away, but he was still looking behind and smiling at Sara… until he ran into a fire hydrant. He called out that he was okay, then moved on, watching where he was going.
Sara piled into Cloe's car with everyone else. She usually drove, but this time Andrew got in the driver's seat before she could, knowing she would be too distracted. "So, Minion, it looks like you've got yourself a boyfriend." Cloe said to her friend as the flying car took off.
"What? No, we're just friends." She said unconvincingly.
"Uhuh." The three others said in unison sarcasm.
"Shut up." She said unable to contain her smile. She looked behind down at the street. She could still barely see Minion riding alone on his segway.
As soon as they got home Sara went to her computer and logged on to Message Buddy. After only a few minutes of waiting, a notification popped up, informing her that she had a new friend request from MinionDavid. She accepted it right away, then sent a message.
PartyGirlMinion: Hey. :)
MinionDavid: Hey. That was fast.
PartyGirlMinion: You too. How do your fingers move that quickly?
MinionDavid: I'm not actually typing. My computer is inside my suit, so it's connected to my brainwaves the way my arms and legs are. All I have to do is think.
PartyGirlMinion: Cool! I'll have to have Cloe ask Megamind for the design's so we can make something like that.
MinionDavid: yeah, it's pretty cool. So, when do you want to hang out?
PartyGirlMinion: tomorrow works for me! What about you?
David?
Hey, you still there?
Notification: MinionDavid's connection has been lost.
