Hope you like this story! I realize I have a lot of OC's, and it might be confusing for people to follow who's who. Here is a breakdown of the OC's that are important.

Cloe: Megamind's cousin

Sara: Cloe's minion

Nick: Cloe's husband

Andrew: Nick's minion

Lianne: Megamind's aunt

Robert: Megamind's uncle

There are others, but these are the important one's.

At first, Sara was a little concerned to see the notification that Minion lost his connection. After all, he had said the suit was his computer. She thought about it for a while then decided the brainbots probably ran into him and caused his computer to short circuit, or something like that. She hoped Minion would be able to get ahold of her the next day. however, the next day came and went without any sign of him.

The day after that was Minion Night, something that they had started up when they came to earth. Once a week all the minions got together to just hang out. It had gotten harder of course, when some of the minions moved to other cities, but they still had group video chats, and when that didn't happen, Minion, Sara, and Andrew still got together.

Everyone was looking forward to this Minion Night, because it was the first time in a while that they would all be together in person. They were meeting at Nick and Cloe's house aka Andrew and Sara's house. Sara was standing by the window anxiously rocking from foot to foot 5 minutes before anyone was supposed to show up.

"Well Sister, you seem rather excited. Are you waiting for anyone in particular?" Andrew said as he came up to stand by her.

"I'm just excited for everyone coming." She replied. But, as each minion arrived her excitement decreased. "Where is David?" Sheasked quietly after all the other minions had arrived.

"Who?" someone asked, overhearing her.

"Oh, that's his new name; David. Megamind's minion that is." Sara replied.

"Oh, so he's finally got a name, that's good. Your right he should be here by now. That kid usually shows up early to these things." Said the oldest minion.

"Come grab a piece of pizza Sara. I'm sure the nameless one… I mean David, will be here soon, and he wouldn't want you to let your food get cold on his account." Andrew said, and Sara agreed to eat a little bit.

After another half hour of waiting, Sara wasn't the only one who was worried. Everyone started talking about the possibilities of why he could be late. They discussed everything from him underestimating the time it took to bake 6 dozen cookies, to getting caught up fighting a dangerous criminal in Megamind's absence.

"Maybe his suit short-circuited and his stuck in it laying on the floor in the lair somewhere. I think we should go check on him." Sara said, and everyone agreed.

When they got to the lair, they tried to go through the brick wall hologram, but found that there was a sealed Metal door right behind it. The lair was on lockdown. None of them had paid much attention to the safety rules back when they had stayed at the lair, but they knew the fact that it was on lockdown was a bad sign. They also knew that once the lair was locked down, only Megamind, Roxanne, or Minion could open it again.

They banged on the door. "Are you there? David?" Sara called. They listened, and could faintly here the bow-bow sound of the brainbots, but the tone sounded lower, as if they were sad. They didn't hear Minion at all.

"we need to contact Megamind." Andrew said.

An hour later, the ten Sarylians had arrived at the scene, and were just as frantic as the minions, if not more so. "That's the 30th time I've called her. No answer. It just goes straight to voicemail." Said a frustrated Cloe as she heard a recording of Roxanne pleasantly asking her to leave a message.

"I told you, Megamind said that his minion would be the only one able to contact him in case of emergency." Nick told her for the tenth time.

"Well in hindsight, that was a really dumb idea. I mean I get that it seemed like a fun Idea at the time, but seriously, no contact at all? And you have no idea where they went?" Cloe asked.

Nick shook his head. "Not even his minion knew where they were going." He said. Cloe just groaned. "I know this is frustrating, but I promise we'll all do everything we can to find them, and to break into the lair. Besides that, all we can really do is wait.

"I know… I know." Said Cloe, taking a deep breath. "I'm just really worried about how all this is affecting Minion."

Nick looked at his wife's minion. Sara had been uncharacteristically quiet for at least a half hour, and at that moment her robot suit was lying on the ground, and she was lying against the glass of the tank. "You should go talk to her." Nick said.

"But what can I say?" Cloe asked her husband. She looked at him for a moment, but he didn't have an answer for her, so she went to go sit by her minion. Cloe decided silence was best, at least for a while. Instead of talking, she touched the side of the tank that was facing up, and some of the glass disappeared to make a hole just the right size for her hand. She reached in and stroked the fish. Sara hardly responded to the contact.

After a while Sara spoke. "Ma'am I…" she started crying.

"You really like him, huh." Cloe said in as lighthearted a tone as possible. Sara nodded. Cloe wanted to say something along the lines of 'I'm sure he'll be alright.' But the problem was, she wasn't sure. She had no idea whether he was alright or not.

Sara spoke again, "This is my fault." She said. "I was the last one to talk to David. I should have told someone when his connection went down, but I assumed he was fine. Just a computer glitch or some such thing. But now…" Sara trailed off and started crying again.

It took Cloe a moment to make sense of her words. She didn't completely understand, but she got the gist. "Minion, listen to me. I don't know why the lair is on lockdown, and I don't know why we can't contact your friend, but I do know that whatever happened isn't your fault." Cloe said. Sara smiled her thanks. Cloe thought she seemed to be feeling slightly better. "So, David huh? Did you come up with that?"

Four days later.

Roxanne and Megamind had just spent the week in a secluded mountain cabin, and Roxanne wasn't sure she was ready to go back. Megamind had made sure no one could find them, and had cut off all communication and connection to the outside world. Though she thought it was a little over the top, Roxanne loved it. There were no breaking news stories that for some reason only she could cover, and no requests to Megamind to invent a toaster that could toast a hundred pieces of bread at once. it was just her and him spending time together, and she loved it.

But now, as they were on their way back to Metro City, Roxanne had an unexplainable nagging feeling. "Megamind, darling, are you sure we should have had our phones off for the entire time?" She asked her husband.

"Yes dearest. As I said before, Minion could contact us in an emergency, and if it was for anything besides an emergency, why would we want to be contacted." Megamind said.

"Yeah, I know, your right… It's just, I have this weird feeling that…. I don't know I can't explain it. It's like the feeling when you know you forgot something, but you don't know what." Roxanne said.

Though still relatively unconcerned, Megamind wasn't dumb enough to ignore when Roxanne had a weird feeling. "Well if it makes you feel better, I'll give you your phone back now. We're only an hour out from Metrocity anyway." He said as he handed her the cellphone.

Roxanne quickly turned her phone on. "this is stupid. I only have one hour left with just Megamind, I shouldn't be wasting it… What the…" Roxanne's train of thought was cut off as she read her phone screen. 374 missed calls from Cloe.

Megamind notice Roxanne tense up out of corner of his eye. He glanced at her than back to the road, then back at her. "Roxanne…" She held up her hand to silence him. She was listening to a voicemail. her face suddenly went pale.

She clutched Megamind's arm. "It's Minion." She said.

In the half-hour it took them to get home, they got in contact with everyone and found out what happened, at least as far as anyone knew. When they arrived Megamind got out of the car and went straight to the door without asking any questions. He knocked twice on the edge of the Metal door and a scanner popped out and scanned him. The doors opened. Brainbots flew out in a swarm but Megamind hardly noticed. He ran through the building calling his friend's name. He was terrified that he would walk around a corner and find… Suddenly a hand was in his. Roxanne's hand. "I'm here for you." She said.

They searched the entire lair and found… nothing. There was no sign of minion anywhere, and no sign that there had been intruders. They would just have to search again more carefully. Megamind went to check the computer monitors. He wondered why he hadn't thought of that first. They could just check the camera footage and… And the monitors weren't working. They wouldn't even turn on. None of the computers would. "What sort of trickery is this?!" Megamind yelled at computers.

Suddenly he heard a voice. Minion's voice. "Hello Sir. You're probably wondering where I am. I want you to know that I am safe and well but I don't want to be found right now. I realized that you probably feel hurt and betrayed but I've thought long and hard about it, and I know I'm doing the right thing. And after you consider it, I think you will realize that I'm doing what's best for you. You have Roxanne now and it's increasingly clear to me that you don't need me, so I've packed my thing and left. Goodbye."

Megamind collapsed to his knees trying to comprehend what he was hearing. "Minion left me?" He thought. "What did I do? He's left before, but only when I was a complete jerk. Have I been ignoring him? How can he think this is best for me? I do need him! He's my best friend! Is this really happening?"

"No!" Roxanne suddenly said as if answering her husband's thoughts. She was actually answering her own thoughts, which had been tending in the same direction. Megamind looked at her. "It's not him." She said.

"how do you know. It sounds just like him." Megamind answered.

"It does, but it doesn't. The voice is his, but the words aren't. just think about it." Roxanne said.

Megamind did think about it, and realized she was right. If Minion had been considering leaving, he would have been acting weird or something. And the recording would have sounded a lot more upset. Megamind believed Roxanne was right, but he still had some doubt.

Roxanne spoke again. "The Minion I know threatened never to forgive me if I broke his best friend's heart. He would never break that heart himself. I mean seriously, 'I realize you probably feel hurt and betrayed.' Minion would never hurt you, or betray you."

Now Megamind was sure she was right. He almost smiled at the thought of Minion warning her not to break his heart. He hadn't known about that. He remembered his conversation with Minion the week before. 'What if I wake up back in prison and realize that this has all been a really good dream?' He had asked. 'well in that case you would still have me.' Minion had replied. Megamind almost wished he would wake up in prison so that he would have Minion back. But no, he didn't want that, he wanted to find Minion in the present.

He looked at Roxanne "In a way it's almost worse." He said. Roxanne gave him a questioning look. "All we've done is prove that Minion did not leave willingly, and that someone wants us to believe that he's safe and well."

Minion opened his eyes but didn't see anything. He tried moving his arms and legs, then realized he wasn't in his robot suit. He tried swimming, and he went about 4 yards before hitting a wall. He tried to remember what had happened. He remembered talking to Sara, and asking her out on a date… at least, that's what he had meant to do. Then she gave him the name David and then he was on his way home and then… nothing. It was as if someone had hit him with the forget-me-stick. "Where am I? What's going on?" He asked out loud.

Suddenly it went from dark to very, very bright. "Hello Minion." Said a voice… Megamind's voice. "You're probably wondering where you are…."

Sorry about that emotional roller coaster... Okay, I'm not really sorry. :) Please reveiw!
