(Megamind thrusts the gun up his nose and Titan starts to glow brightly, almost like he's about to implode, but he just shrinks and flops over the edge of the fountain. Back to Hal, but with no future ahead of him.)
Megamind, pointing at him: Thing about bad guys-they always lose!
(This makes me chuckle, and Hal groans. I'm so glad that's over. I turn to Megamind. Everything I've thought about him is wrong. He's...a hero.)
Roxanne: You did it. You won!
Megamind: Well...I finally had a reason to win. (He pauses) You.
(I stand there, trying not to cry, and hug him tightly, feeling the blunt spikes digging into my arms. But I don't care. It's much better than being crushed by someone who I thought was my friend. Megamind doesn't even hesitate to hug back. After all we've been through; we both deserve this. Suddenly Minion coughs in the distance, and Megamind's head perks up and he moves away. In all the chaos, I forgot about Minion and I feel guilt in my chest. He is Megamind's oldest friend. His only friend.)
Megamind: Minion!
(We crouch before the shattered glass of his tank-helmet. Minion lays on one side, his eyes wide.)
Minion: I can't see-it's cold and warm...and dark and light.
Megamind: It's me, Minion. I'm right here.
Minion: We've had a lot of adventures together, you and I.
Megamind: We have, Minion.
(I place my hand on Megamind's shoulder to re-assure him.)
Minion, after coughing and wheezing: I mean, most of them ended in...horrible failure, but we won today. Didn't we, sir?
Megamind: Yes, Minion. We did it. Thanks to you.
Minion: Code: We're the good guys now.
Megamind: Code: I guess we are.
(I smile lightly.)
Minion, eyes flitting around: Oh-oh-oh, I'm going! I think this-this is it! I-I-I'm going, going far...(He pants and gasps for breath, then flops over. He's...dead. He died saving me.)
(Megamind picks him up and chucks him over his shoulder, into the fountain.)
Megamind: Ugh, what a drama queen.
(I begin to think that he doesn't care, then Minion's heads erupts up the surface, and he swims about happily.)
Minion: You know, I'm feeling much better now! I guess I just needed a swim!
Megamind, walking over and nudging me: He had you, didn't he?
(I breathe a sigh of relief and chuckle.)
Megamind: Classic Minion. (Minion gives a cheeky expression, and it makes me laugh.) Don't give me that face. Reels you in with that little face.
Minion, splashing in and out of the water: We did it! We did it!
(He's right! We did it! No-one was really injured or died and they saved the city! Crowds of Metrocitizens crowd around us, applauding and cheering.)
Megamind: Fist-pump!
Roxanne: You did it!
Megamind, holding my face: We won, we won, we won!
(He picks me up and spins me around in joy. The crowd emerges towards us, then Megamind leaps in front of me, pulling out a gun. Everyone jumps back.)
Megamind: Get back you savages!
Roxanne, lowering his gun down: Sorry! Sorry! He's just not used to positive feedback!
Life is funny. You think you're going to down one road, then everyone and everything around you changes and you turn onto another that's completley different. If someone told me that I'd fall in love with Megamind a few years ago, I would tell them that they were absolutely out of their mind.
I'm not in the same, irritating, never-changing endless loop I always was before. And it's all thanks to Megamind. We're working on postivity and everything that comes with it, and he even suggested to move out of his evil lair, and into my apartment. My reply came with three exceptions-that he didn't take the brain bots, that he broke the appearance-switching watch, and that Minion needed to learn how to work a washing machine properly. He agreed. After a while. And I've got a little surprise for him on the big Opening Day for Metrocity's new hero.
(I rush onto the stage and hug Megamind tightly, pulling Metroman's cape that he stole when we were looking for help over his shoulders. Megamind smiles at me in a state of shock.)
Roxanne: You know, you look pretty good in white.
Mayor, from behind us: Megamind, if you ple-
(Megamind swivels round and breaks the ribbon with his gun, revealing a new, porcelain statue of him.)
Mayor: Ladies and Gentlemen, Megamind-Defender of Metro City!
(The masses of people whoop and clap, jumping in the air, with some holding up Megamind masks.)
Megamind, signalling to Minion in the giant mech suit behind: Hit it!
("Bad" by Michael Jackson plays, and we all start dancing to celebrate such a victory, such a change, and just because we have so much to celebrate about. Then I leap into his arms, and kiss him on the cheek. Life is going to be so much better for Metrocity from now on. And for us. This is Roxanne Ritchi, signing off for the last time.)
