I want to make an announcement (author's note) regarding what's this story is all about. Previously this section has a different things written in it.
1. I'm using my OC to make things easier for me. yes, for me. I know majority of readers don't like OC in a story, but I have a hard time to write this one without OC. Earlier, I planned to do this project mainly on the Scarer's POV, i.e. how he/she goes through in his/her life. But sadly, that's not my style I guess :(
2. I'm using a timeline (year) to make a note to the reader of when the events take place. And yes, tenses are not good in this story, as I'm confused myself XD If anyone want to beta-read it, I doubt it as much. lol.
3. This is the most simplest story I had ever write. I'm not focusing on grammar, vocabulary, tense, punctuation, and all those stuffs. Plus, I'm totally into a minor characters that Disney/Pixar had published his/her scare card. Both in MI & MU universe. At the current moment, MI will take the first bit.
4. For story scenarios/events, it is just a simple one too. A get-together, lunch, recreational activities (what I had written so far), anything that symbolise friendship.
5. Like I said earlier, this is mainly to focus more on Scarer's Professional Scaring Record data. Means, I will pointed out ANYTHING & CLEARLY of whatever record it have. Height, weight, home, born, year, company, SPK, scream average, full cans, dead doors & scare totals. And to make full use of these with in-character figure, OC! Meet Kevin Frightus :D
6. How all of these can make a story you say? I deciphered (lol) the small descriptions and all the scaring record data, and make it into a story. Here's a scoop of what I had found out. Based on MI story, 10th year of Sulley's scare card data show that's when the MI movie took place. And if you look at it more closely, all scarers (which on duty at Scare Floor F) have their own scare cards, except Gerson [poor him :(] something real fishy here don't you think? AND... if you go more deeper, you can see not all are as senior as Sulley. For example, Pete Ward (I could have die! LOL!) entered his rookie year in MI when Sulley's in his 8th year. Not enough story for you? :P
That's about it. Right now, I'm currently figuring it out what year did the Scarers in MU took place, during Mike in his field trip, and trespassed the factory for the second time. If anyone can figure it out and want to get your hands dirty with this, PM me ;)
Check out my OC scare card, with the help of Patrick O'Ceannliath. And for a starter chapter; get a George Sanderson scare card!
Pairing: Duke Maverick & George Sanderson
Current timeline: Rookie year
"Good work George! You get a full can from that boy's scream! Keep it up!," Charlie Proctor, George's Scaring Assistant complimented him on his great work.
"Nah, nothing much Charlie. But, just keep them coming. I'm on a roll!," George Sanderson, one of many Monsters Inc. Scarer, dutifully doing his job without sweat.
Soon after, George heard someone's screaming. Actually, it was a scream in excitement, even though it was almost sounded like a frighten scream.
"Very well done Mave! Another full can! Boy, just for today, you already rack up a total of 5 full cans! Congratulations!," Kevin Frightus, Maverick's Scaring Assistant.
He is a well known monster for being such a loud screamer, because whenever he is excited about something, he will release a scream. And almost frequently, whenever anybody hears his screams, they thought someone is frightening over something. His short build and big head totally make his scream even more resonating within the Scare Floor. Unfortunately, he is not scary. He doesn't have claws, only furry blue-coloured arms. He have several small spikes on his back, but that's all. Normal two eyes and two furry legs. In addition, he wears a red spiky-looking spectacle to help with his eye sight. Thus, his colleagues always wondered if his last name is into Scaring or not, and as Scaring Assistant, it is quite ironic that a kid from a scare door is screaming because afraid of monster, but he screams because of excitement. To put more ironic figure, he's a perfect match for Duke Maverick, a Scarer, which has his own unique histories.
"You need to control your screaming Kev. All of our colleagues on this scare floor are staring at us now," Duke Maverick, has a middle name of 'Double Trouble'. He can provide trouble to a monster, with an appearance of an adult human (when off-duty), and also to a human kid, with an appearance of a scary-looking monster (can be useful to scare other monsters to protect himself too).
"Just forget about them! The most important is, we did our job brilliantly! Care to go for another round Mave?"
"I think I want to have a rest a little bit. You already knew I get tired easily when I'm in monster form."
"Sure Mave. Then, I will take the time to decide which next door is suitable for you, as accurately as possible, to make full use of your supreme ability."
"Yup. You and I remembered our motto right?
"One door at a time and it is time for the kids to wet on their bed," both of them said in unison.
"Relax and get your strength back Mave. I will let the door in standby mode, and you can go for it whenever you feel you are in full throttle, okay?
"Alrighty. Thanks Kev."
"Well, well. Look it here at my favourite JOX brother. You are doing very well I see. How's it going Mave?," George moved on towards Mave's station.
"Same as usual in any other days of working. What's up?," Mave still sitting on his chair, looking quite exhausted.
"Nothing much. Just want to check up on you while Charlie prepared another door for me."
"Okay then… Hey, are you free to have lunch with me after this shift?"
"Sure. This is not a date right? I knew the relationship between you & Roy back in the college days."
"Aww, c'mon big guy. I don't have any sort of that intention towards you. Like I said many times before Georgie, you are not-"
"I'm not your type. I know. But every time you are calling me as 'Big Guy',it still make me feel uneasy. Just call me Georgie should be okay. Wait. Does Kevin know about this… you know…," George said while he looked at Kevin, still searching through a pile of scare files.
"Kev should be fine. Thank you. And I knew some of Mave's love life story, whenever he wants to tell me about it," Kevin responded while not looking at George, and he was diligently browsing through the scare files that he picked up.
"Well, I guess it will be no problem talking about that part whenever he's around," George shrugged his shoulders.
"George! Let's continue working! Your next door is ready!," Charlie shouted.
"Back to work Mave. We will have our lunch together okay," George agreed to Mave's offer, and walked towards his station.
"You got it big guy!," Mave responded back excitedly.
"No big guy here! Only Georgie!," George playfully shouted back at Mave.
"Alright Mave. Here's the next kid. You go on ahead through that door and let it all out," Kevin already stand-by a door by the station, and read the scare report with full concentration.
"No scream this time!," Mave said while he practiced his movement a little bit. His SPK rating is so high compared to any other Scarers, because he is known to be a very quick & agile Scarer and therefore, his technical movements around a child's bedroom, makes up the most to his successful scaring.
"What?! You don't even go in there yet, and you said no scream this time?! So far, no dead doors for you Mave. I'm working very hard for you here."
"What I mean is, please don't scream again Kev."
"Oh… Yeah sure. But I will still scream if I can't help myself to scream anyway."
Mave just chuckled a little when he heard that from his hard working assistant. After he's fully prepared, he went through the door and did his scaring.
After several scarings here and there, the shift is finally over, only for Mave.
"Hey Kev, you want to go for lunch together with us?," Mave asked.
"I think I'll pass. I have other plans during lunch hour."
"Updating scare reports again? Kev, lunch hour is for lunch, not for work. I salute you for being hard working and all but, how about this time we go together. Just once in a while, if that's too much trouble for you."
"Hmm… Okay. Fine. Where for lunch then?," Kevin just gave a short reply, and scribbled down some notes in some of the scare reports.
"I think that's not for me to decide. I will have to wait for George to finish his shift. If I offer him to lunch at a bar, he will be furious."
"Up to you. I will wait for George here."
"Then, I will be at the main entrance. You know how to find me among the crowds. We will have our lunch outside."
"Sure thing. You are the only human I will see there later."
Later, George finished with his shift.
"Hi Kevin. Where's Mave?," George asked.
"He's waiting for us at the main entrance. We will have our lunch outside."
"Oh. You're coming along? That's great. At least I feel a little bit secured with someone else around," George sighed in relief.
"What? He's been trying to flirt with you all these time? You guys were JOX fraternity brothers right? Shouldn't be….. dating is not a problem here?"
"It's a long story. Hey Charlie! Where do you think you are going? You are not coming with us?," George shouted as he saw Charlie went through passed him.
"Sorry George. You guys enjoy your lunch okay. I'll be here again at 1.00 p.m."
"Fine. Shall we get going to meet Mave?," Kevin stared at George with suspicious look.
"Yeah. Let's go. And please don't stare at me like that."
"What's the matter?"
"It's a long story."
Kevin just rolled his eyes, and both of them soon met Mave at the main entrance.
"Hey guys. Where's Charlie?," Mave asked.
"He's not coming. Maybe he has some other plans," George answered.
"Do Scaring Assistants have their time locked up? I always wondered what you guys were doing at lunch hour," Mave looked at Kevin.
"Don't look at me. Please."
"Where do you want to have for lunch Mave?," George asked.
"I'm out of idea actually. I'm kinda bored with that restaurant in Monstropolis, that I used to have lunch on."
"Then, how about this restaurant that is near to my home? I know it will be a tasty one," George recommended.
"Your home? Hornsville right? Don't you think it is quite far, since we have only 1 hour break here?," Mave retaliated back.
"Well, I know you can drive very fast Mave. Shouldn't be a problem."
"Thank you for complimenting my skill. Now, since we are going with my car, how about-," Mave stopped as he got interrupted by Kevin.
"Can't you guys walk while talking? We are wasting time here."
"Well, there you go. My Scaring Assistant already made his announcement," Mave walked along with three of them towards the car park.
"So, ummm….. how about what?," George asked.
"Your treat?," Mave said while whistled.
"No."
"For your favourite brother here? Please, big guy?"
"Even more no!"
"Sitting next to me in the restaurant later?"
"I will think about that."
"Alright. That's enough. On a second thought, maybe I should get my own lunch, if you guys still making a lady-like walk," Kevin interrupted while he paced up a bit.
"Sorry Kevin. Alright Georgie. Let's walk faster, and do you want to sit beside-."
"Nope. I will sit at the back. Thank you."
After quite a ride, they finally arrived at the restaurant in George's residential area at Hornsville. They entered, ordered their food, and while waiting for the meal to arrive. They are having a little chit-chat.
"Wow… I have never been here before. So many horny monsters. No wonder they called it Hornsville," Mave said.
"You might want to rephrase that Mave. It's horned," George, who sat in front of Mave crossed his arms while leaning back on the couch.
"Opps. Sorry about that."
"At least it is not your type."
"What type?," Kevin confused.
"Nothing really. Say Mave, you have really outdone yourself in your rookie year. Even though I'm more senior than you are, I'm quite embarrassed," George praised Mave with a slight blush on his face.
"Oh, please Georgie. We are only differed by a year. Besides, I need to apply for this job like any other job seekers, went through interviews and all. Unlike you, you were recruited by Monsters Inc. for your textbook perfect. What was it again?,"
"You mean, the MacDoogle Fake Out? Well, yeah. That skill helps me a lot for getting in here. But still, you are more popular in Monsters Inc. with your middle name that they gave you. I didn't even have one," George said while he sounded like a little bit down-hearted.
"The double trouble? I don't care about that really. I'm not really into being famous and all. They just gave it, and I just accepted it. Whether I'm a popular figure or not, that's for others to say."
"Yeah well….. I wonder what is it like to be popular. Back in college days, you were the most respected brother next to Roy in our fraternity. Even Roy trusted you to succeed him as JOX president," George reclaimed back memories of the past with a sigh.
"C'mon Georgie. Enough with the past event. Sure, it was quite nostalgic to remember about those but, I just did for what Roy had expected me to do so. Hey Kev, say something good about Georgie here," Mave directed the conversation to Kevin with a hope to change George's mood.
"Okay. Based on your professional scaring record for your rookie year, it amounted to a scare totals of 6218. Compared to Maverick, he is currently with a scare totals of 1867. Of course, since George is the big guy here, his SPK is not very good with only 3.7, while Maverick is now at… 8.1 if I'm not mistaken. Furthermore, in terms of scream average and full cans, Maverick is much more above you George, and more dead doors for you with a total of 9. If you want the analysis why the dead door was that high for you George, I can email it to you or Charlie. Not need to worry though, your 2nd year record so far currently much exceed from your rookie year. Were these good enough?"
"Kev! You really don't need to mention that!," Mave reacted with a shock expression.
"Oh sorry. You mean the dead doors stat?"
"No, not that. I'm happy with what you said just now. It is good to know that I'm making progress for myself. But…. With all those stats….," George felt strange with the way Kevin explained things earlier.
"Yeah! You can just say Georgie is a good Scarer with a high scare totals than me, and he's currently improving himself much more better than his rookie year," Mave replied.
"What's wrong with it? I'm a Scaring Assistant Mave. I'm taking my job very seriously. I need to be doing this as part of my routine to keep my Scarer in top shape & reputation. Along with other 'friendly' competitors of course. No biggie. I'm sure Charlie will do the same," Kevin clarified.
"Hmmm…. I'm not really sure about that. As far as I know Charlie, he is much more like a happy-go-lucky guy. Although he may be good with all those technical data, since he's also an Assistant Maintenance," George said.
"Nevertheless, based on what Kev just said, I'm happy for you Georgie. Even more so that I noticed I'm well below you for the scare board ranking. I'm sure that will mean something special for you," Mave said while he winked at George.
"Thanks Mave. But, that's because you get tired easily when you are in monster form. If you are really a monster then, I'm sure you can get past-," George responded before being halted.
"Sorry to disturb your conversation gentleman. Here's your meal," the waiter said.
"Thank you. By the way George, all I can say is, every Scarer has their own specialties. As for myself, I'm more towards quality than quantity. I'm sure you have something in you," Mave finalised his opinions about George.
"I guess you're right. Shall we eat now? I'm very hungry," George rubbed his belly.
"I'm hungry too. I need to be in full strength again for the next shift. You know, it is kinda cute whenever you are eating big guy," Mave said.
"Don't started it," George smirked at Mave while he chewed on his meal.
"He will," Kevin interrupted while he also ready to eat his meal.
"Kevin! Hahaha!," Mave just laughed, and all of them laughed together with happiness and wide smile on their faces.
After they had their lunch, they were all back to their working station in Monsters Inc.
"Hey Charlie, you have a good lunch?," George asked with a wide grin on his face.
"Same as ever. And what about you? You looked amazingly happy. Where do you guys went for lunch?"
"Near my home, Hornsville."
"Ahh, maybe that's why. Alright George. Ready for another roll?"
"Roll we go. Hey Mave, keep up the good work okay!," George shouted while he prepared to do scare the kids again.
"Same goes to you too Georgie! And keep up the smile. You looked cu-," Mave stopped.
"Don't started it! I need to focus! Good luck!," George waved his hands towards Mave, and concentrated on Charlie next, which he tried to brief George for his next door.
"Oh yes, he will," Kevin said with a low tone and grab a scare file.
"Mave, this is the first kid for you to scare. Have some warming up first."
"Thank you very much Kev. You are a great and superb assistant that I ever had. Do you want me to tell you about our memories between George & I? It would be-"
"Enough. Maybe yes or maybe not. Now, get back to work."
"As per your instruction Mr. Assistant," Mave gladly obeyed his trustful yet professional Scaring Assistant.
PS: Next chapter will be with George too. But, multiple timelines. Probably I will write during his 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th year. All in one chapter (I will try). And yes, just a simple event describing the facts in George's Scare Card :)
