After receiving good reviews from Aggie Remembers, I can now start writing the fanfic I've been wanting to work on. I've been a fan of Monsters inc for years and I just love the idea of Boo and Randall being friends. It's really rare to find fanfics about them so I decided to write one for you fans.

This story takes place two years after MI. It's also based on a theory of what I thought may happen at the end of MU. I want to let you know that this fic may have some spoilers to MU, so if you have not seen the movie yet, then don't read.

Disclaimer: EDIT: All chapters have been checked, edited and completed. For those who have been here before, there have new things that are added so check it out if you want. Old author's notes will stay up and unchanged. If you see any mistakes that I missed let me know and I'll fix it. Anything Monsters Inc related belongs to Disney and Pixar and The Dodgeball games are based on the video game, 'Monsters Inc: Scream Area'.

Now enjoy…

Be My Pal

"And then what happened? What happens next?" said an eager four year old who was hopping on her bed.

"Hold your horses' kid I'll tell ya" said a one eyed green monster, otherwise known as Mike Wazowski.

It was not just Mike Wazowski; sitting right next to him was a tall monster with blue and purple poka-dotted fur named Sulley. The two monsters were telling the story of their collage days and how they became best friends. The little girl Mary, or Boo as they called her, sat back down on her bed waiting to hear the next part.

She was really into the story, she had no idea that monsters go to school to learn how to scare. To her it sounded easily, but her friends explained that it takes studying and skills to be a scarcer. When they got kicked out of the Scaring program they have to find ways to get back in the hard way. They told Boo about the deal they made with the Dean and training with their 'brothers' of Oozma Kappa. Right now they were down to the exciting part of the story, where the Oozma Kappa team was wining the final scare games.

"So anyway, our team was making it to the top. It was the final battle between us and Roar Omega Roar."

"It was not a battle, it was just another game" interrupted Sulley.

"Hey who's telling the story here" said Mike who looked at his friend but continued, "The last scare game was taking place in the football field. We have to run to a stage, read the files of the kid and go into the simulation room to scare a dummy kid."

"Don went first and he did awesome" said Sulley with enthusiasm.

"Then, Terri and Terry went up next, they really gave a big roar. Squishy just stood behind the dummy with a horrifying stare and scared the heck out it!" said Mike.

"Cool" whispered Boo in amazement.

"Art did great too, but then the ROR earned double points, we were slowly falling behind."

"And then it was Kitty's turn right?" Boo smiled at Sulley.

Boo never stop calling her best friend that nickname and it always warms Sulley's heart. He lightly chuckles, "Yup, it was my turn."

"So who were you up against?"

Mike thought for a moment, "Um…I think it was Randall."

"Wait, he was in the Roar team?" Boo titled her head.

"Oh, I forgot to mention that. Yeah he decided to join those creeps but he wasn't as scary as my bubby here." Mike patted Sully's shoulders.

"Oh" she simply said.

A few days ago, Mike mention in the beginning of the story that he was roommates with Randall. Boo was really surprised of how Mike described him, nerdy, kind, and always nervous. That was not the Randall that she remembered, scary, mean, and sinister. It sounded like they were good friends but, unfortunately, Mike never brought him up again after that.

It sort of...bothered her. She had been thinking about telling her monster friends how she felt about it. She actually wanted to hear more about this nice version of Randall but she was afraid how they would act if she asked them

"Yeah, but anyway it was Mike and Johnny's turn" said Sulley, "the final round was supposed to be the hardest."

"I'll admit I was really nervous", said Mike taking over again, "But I wasn't gonna let that stop me achieve my goal. So I got up and roared as load as I can and…"

Boo stand up on the bed again "And then..."

"We lost."

Boo blinked a few times looking at Mike. "You what!?" she cried.

Mike suddenly burst out laughing. He fell on the little girl's bed as he continued laughing not noticing the odd looks from his friends. He sat up across from Boo as he was wiped a tear in his eye.

"I got ya didn't I?"

The four year old blinked again realizing it was a joke. Mike always play pranks or tell jokes to his friends all the time. Boo learned a few prank tips by the best comedian monster but she would always fall for his jokes.

"Mike C'mon" said Sulley nudging the one-eyed monster.

"Okay, okay" Mike turned to Boo and continued the story, "Of course we didn't lose, we WON!"

"I knew it!" Boo was hopping on her bed again.

"The crowd went wild!" Mike was jumping on the bed as well, making an 'ahh' sound as if there was an audience cheering. Sulley couldn't help but laugh as he watches them jump on the bed. They soon stopped, not wanting to make too much noise to wake Boo's parents. While they catch their breaths Boo look up at Sulley and smiles.

"So you made it back to the scare program right?"

"Actually, something happen after the game was over" Sulley said rubbing the back of his neck.

"There's more?"

"Yeah, but we'll tell you tomorrow" said Mike who noticed the time on nightstand. The clock read eleven o'one. It was really past Boo's bedtime.

"Aww, I can I stay up longer?" wined the little girl.

"No Boo, you need your sleep" said Sulley.

"Fine." Boo crawled to her pillow and laid down. She let Sulley tuck her in and place her favorite teddy bear next to her.

They all said their goodnights and the monsters were about to leave but Boo got up and called them.

"Wait, Kitty, can I ask you about something?"

Sulley stop and looked over to Boo. He told Mike that he will catch up with him later and Mike will be waiting in his car.

"What is it Boo?"

At first, she seems to hesitate to ask but she easily breathes it out. "It's about…Randall."

Sulley blinked in surprise, he knows Boo was not afraid of Randall anymore but she never talked about him. "Um, sure what about him."

"It's just… what happened to him?" she asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, Mike said that Randall was different when he first met him. He was nicer and buddies with him. So how can someone who was nice…"

"Can turn out bad?" Sulley finished for her.

She nodded.

Sulley sat down on the left side of her bed and tries to think of an answer. He honestly couldn't understand it himself. When he first attended to the university, he did remember seeing Mike and Randall hanging out and sitting together in class. When he join ROR that was when Mike stopped taking to him.

"I really don't know Boo. I didn't know what Randall was going through. When he started working at Monsters Inc I thought Mike would glad or at least delighted to see him, but he didn't seem to care."

"Did something happen between them?"

"I don't know that either, you can ask him if you want."

Then Boo thought of something else, she pulled her blanket tighter just thinking about it.

"Did we do the right thing?"

Sulley looked at her confused.

"When we threw Randall in the door."

Sulley looked surprise again. He wasn't expecting her to ask something like that. She remembers little things of her first adventure in the monster world. He was just surprised she remembered that part.

"Uh, well, you know how he was chasing us in the door vault" he waited for her to nod, "well he was after you Boo. He tired to hurt us, he even tried to push me off the door."

"I know" said Boo frowning, "but, maybe he didn't mean to do that."

Sulley sighed. Now he was starting to feel guilty about it. The more he thought about the more it started to make sense. Maybe Randall did have his reasons; the whole scheme was Waternoose's plot to save the factory, not Randall's. He only threw him in that door because he wanted to protect Boo.

"There has to be some niceness left in him" said Boo.

Sulley, now coming to his senses, looked right in Boo's brown eyes. She was a young kid, kids seem to see people a different way and forgive them no matter what. And honestly, Boo was right about what she was saying. Then he thought up an idea.

"Listen, if Randall ever comes back, I'll let him work back at the factory."

Boo made a small gasp and smiled, "Really?"

"Yup"said Sulley, "If you're willing to forgive him then I'll do the same. Just as long he promises to behave himself."

Boo giggled, "Okay. Goodnight Kitty"

"Goodnight Boo"said Sulley as he tucked her in bed again. He gets up to leave and close the closet door behind him.

Boo yawned and grabbed her bear as she huddle under her blanket. She closed her eyes, drifting to a dreamless slumber.

So that was Chapter 1 and it was really fun to write. Sorry for any grammar problems or OOCness or for being short, but I hope to enjoy it.

Chapter 2 is coming soon.
