Megamind-Roxanne's Birthday Present

Chapter 3

Megamind led her onto the balcony and gestured widely to his bike. "Happy birthday my dear."

Roxanne froze when her gaze settled on a man leaning up against the bike. He was wearing a tattered army uniform and his face was newly shaven.

"Daddy?" The soldier smiled. "Happy birthday squirt."

The reporter ran over and hugged him tightly. "MIA for six years, Where were you?"

Richard Ritchi sighed. "I was captured and held underground in a prison. Six years later in walks this blue guy talking to the enemy in their native tongue. He negotiated their lives for mine and got me the hell outta there. He let me stay in his...lair for a few days to rest up. Shaved, ate, and cleaned up a bit. If it weren't for this hero, I would still be there."

Megamind chuckled and shook his head. "I'm no hero, this alien just happens to be the cities villain. I just wanted to get Roxanne a good present for putting up with me all these years."

The reporter turned and kissed the blue man on the lips. "Thank you so much. You have no idea how much this means to me."

Megamind was stunned for a moment. "I love you."

Roxanne's eyes widened. "What?"

The blue alien stiffened. "Did I just say that out loud?"

The reporter and her father nodded. Megamind blushed and backed away.

"I should probably get-" "Richard?" The three turned to see Rosetta and Rachel standing in the doorway.
