Chapter 1: Life so far
6:00 AM
the sun comes up early in the morning on an apartment building in Metro City. Most teenagers would either still be in bed or being dragged out of bed by their parents getting them ready for zero period. Not Mandy, she's been up for hours working on her new invention. It's taken her months to perfect her practice on brain chemistry, and today she was going to upgrade her already robotized dog, Millie. She'd rescued Millie just two years ago when she was deathly ill and managed to save her with her dad's help. She listened to her iPod whenever she was doing mechanical work, so her egard for other in the building was very little. This kind of invention made a lot of noise.
"Her teachers complain that she falls asleep in class." Roxanne said, still lying in bed. "Should we tell them that she gets up at 3:00 o'clock in the morning and builds space ships for NASA?"
"I don't see the use in telling them." Megamind said. "They'll just try to council us on parenting. I think I know how to parent! I've done it for fifteen years and she's the smartest teenager probably in the world!"
"Even if you didn't raise her, she'd still be the smartest teenager in the world, that's genetic."
"Why can't she just be home schooled again? I love spending that much time with her. I also love teaching her physics." Megamind said, sitting up.
"Teaching physics? More like experimenting with the laws of physics. Do you know how many times the Fire Department had to come to the lair?" Roxanne said, also sitting up.
"It was only 22 times."
"I was going to say 'too many times to count,'
but apparntly you counted. Either way, she's finishing high school."
"Come on! She has higher than a 4.0 GPA and she's bored!"
"She needs to be social. If she's home schooled her whole life, she'll end up some intraverted--evil genius or something."
"OK, genius is genertic, but not evil, she knows better than that. And the only 'social' activity she's participating in is doing her so called 'friends' homework!"
"She stopped doing that a month ago!"
"Then you didn't see me burn 3 tons of essay papers yesterday! She probably doesn't know how to say 'no' to them."
"Why? She says 'no' to you everyday."
Their converstaion was interupted by an abrupt open swinging of their door. Mandy came in ready and dressed for school. Her long black hair, even parted down the middle and pulled into a pony tail, always found a way to cover her eyes.
"Wow, you guys are talkative this morning. I'm gonna walk to school now."
"You'll be more then an hour early." Roxanne said.
"I'll walk slow." she tried to convince them. She knew they didn't approve of her being alone in the city for too long.
"You can't walk, it's raining." Megamind added.
Mandy looked across the room at the window. It was a perfectly clear day. "It's not raining."
Megamind quickly opened the drawer of his night stand to get his weather remote, but Roxanne stopped him.
"Don't even think about it." She said. "You can go ahead, Mandy. On one condition. I don't want another call today from a teacher saying you fell asleep in their class, got it?"
"...Fine." Mandy reluctantly agreed.
"Why can't you be a normal teenager who wakes up late to school?" Megamind asked, not expecting a real answer.
"Normal is recesive in this family." Roxanne joked, although at the same time, it was mostly true.
"Very true, mom." Mandy agreed. "Maybe you'll get a normal grandkid someday."
Megamind looked at her. "Let's wait a very long time for that to happen."
"Dad! OK, I leaving now. Bye." She turned around and took the door handle.
"Try to enjoy school today." Megamind said, mispronouncing "school."
Mandy laughed at his misprounuciation and closed the door behind her.
"We love you!" Roxanne added. They could here her saying, "Yeah, yeah, I know" through the wall. They heard the front door open and close.
Megamind sighed. "They grow up so fast."
