Wooow new fandom to write about :)

I'm surprised no one's really written a story about this really, I thought it was pretty original. Plus the spelling and grammar would have been a lot better, but sadly that's the downfall of me writing something.

Oh well, here it goes. One can only hope for approval.

Enjoy

"This is it, this is the place buddy, what do ya think?" the small green monster shouted with excitement as he and his best friend walked through the door of what was now officially their own apartment. It looked like the only thing going for it was the large space it held within the walls as the interior was nothing easy on the eyes. There were cracks in the walls, doors were hanging off its hinges, the floor was nothing but loose broken boards and the sound of sirens could be heard from outside.

The blue monster looked around and took in all of these little details, and then looked back at his friend who was smiling wide as if he was in a different room.

"So do you like it? Tell me you like it. You do, I can see it written all over your face!" the smaller of the two exclaimed while jumping over to Sulley, he grabbed the monsters arm and shook it like an excited child with his father. The look he could however 'see' was not one of somebody 'liking it'.

Sulley placed his bags down onto the ground and took a few steps forward, once again looking around. "Mike... this place is a dump" he confessed, turning around to Mike. To his surprise though, the smile was still plastered upon his face, "I know, but it's our dump!"

Sulley sighed, knowing that once again he had been at the end of Mike's manipulation. "Mikey-" he groaned, only to be cut off suddenly when the cyclops raced passed him towards one of the frail doors. "And look look look- See! Ta Da" he cheered, opening up the door and presenting a small room with one rusty looking bed. A small drip could be heard and seen falling from the ceiling and landing in a large puddle, right in the centre of the cold looking mattress. The whole room smelt of grim and mould, which wasn't so bad.

The smile was still on Mike's face, despite the intimidating glare he was receiving from the other. "You got to be kidding me? Where's the other bedroom?" The blue monster snarled, not liking the idea of sharing a small tight room again. A look of desperation suddenly appeared on Mike's face as his brow turned upwards and an awkward laughter pushed passed his lips. "Well, buddy, it's only a... one bedroom" he confessed.

"What?!"

"-But! I figured that one of us could have the bedroom and the other could uhh... usethekitchen" he muttered awkwardly while playing with his fingers and looking down at the ground. The blue monster's eyes widened as he suddenly feared what came next. He quickly walked out of the room and waited for the cyclops to join him after shutting the door. "What's wrong with the kitchen?" he asked without taking his eyes off his new 'home'.

"Nothing, nothing..." Mike defended, only to be glared down at until he confessed, like a child accused of stealing. He took a small breath before walking to the other side of the apartment towards the kitchen door and opening it to reveal what was inside.

"Oh Mike..." he groaned, one again throwing his head in his hands with frustration. Inside the already tiny room was nothing more than a bucket filled with mouldy potatoes and an old over used cooking grill.

With a look that showed he was ready to blow, Sulley slammed the door closed and turned back to his fearful friend. Mike rocked himself on his heels and held his hands behind his back innocently, desperately trying to avert the look of murder in his friend's eyes. He gulped knowing that another word could probably get him killed, but spoke anyway, all still with a smile. "O-okay so it's not... not perfect…"

"Not perfect!? You told me this place was better than a palace!" Sulley yelled, stepping a foot closer. Mike responded by finally giving up on his smile and taking a frantic step back from the outburst. "I know, I know. I'm sorry okay. Sulley I really am..." he tried to explain. "Come on Sulley, we've been talking about getting a place in the city ever since we took jobs in the Mail Room. This is what we wanted, right?" he argued. Sulley found himself pacing the floor, but stopped and stared the smaller monster down, "Yes, but I said we should wait until we were older and could afford something descent! This is not descent Mike! It's not even liveable!" he responded, pointing his big hand out as if to show the room to him. "Okay okay, but we are older though. I mean, you're twenty, I'm nineteen... It's about time we moved out from our parents' house" the cyclops reasoned, his hopes getting up as the thought that this might be enough to get him out of trouble.

"Hey, I had a pretty sweet deal staying at home. I got all my meals provided for me, I didn't have to pay rent, my parents were always there to support me and my room was awesome!" the bigger monster said, remembering how nice his old home was. That was the advantage of coming from a rich well known family.

Mike took a moment to just stare at him, before he get annoyed himself, "Well if it was so great then why did you agree to move in with me in the first place?" The reply was simple, but loud; "Because you said this place was better than a palace!"

The argument ended with the both of them taking a sigh, neither one looking like they would win anymore.

It took a moment, but Mike eventually let his frustration go with a deep breath, "It's all we can afford Sul" he confessed.

Sulley's face softened after hearing this. He turned to the other monster with confusion. "But we made a savings fund, we've been saving money for a place ever since we first took job's, and that was two years ago. What happened to all the money?"

"We spent it okay" Mike snapped, "After we put all the money away, we forgot to leave anything left for ourselves. So every night when we go out with the guys, we end up drinking too much and start buying rounds for everyone in the bar. That's where our money went Sul!"

"Well yeah... but surely..." Sulley started to mumble, he silenced himself and took a moment to work out the math in his head. "Woaw... we really are broke" he concluded, thinking of the many times he and his friend had gone for a night out, taking advantage of their spare cash, and then of their beloved fund money.

"You know, prior to the new promotion we got, maybe we should quit drinking" the blue monster suggested half-heartedly. The smaller of the two laughed, "You think? My mom's already said for Christmas she's getting me a new liver" he joked.

He chuckled at first, but than Sulley took a moment to work something else out instead, something that only just occurred to him. "Wait... this whole 'desperate for our own place' thing… it doesn't have anything to do with your parents does it?" he asked suspiciously.

Mike's one eye grew completely wide, like a deer in headlights, before a look of guilt spread across his face "... well..." was all he could croak.

"Mike!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! ..." the cyclops cried, falling to his knees with his hands clasped together like he was praying. "If we'd of waiting for a few more months when we got payed we could have gotten a place that didn't look like someone died!" Sulley yelled, once again completely annoyed, "But instead you blow what little money we have on this dump! Now we'll have to wait ages to get something better" he complained, ignoring Mike's pitiful apology. "I'm sorry, but I was desperate!" he cried, "You don't know what it's like living with my mother! I mean sure as soon as you come over she's all sweet and kind and 'oh have a good day sweet'… but as soon as you leave, she's evil!"

"Don't you think you've exaggerated this a little?" The blue monster accused, rolling his eyes. He walked to one of the boxes and sat down on top of it, only for the cyclops to get up and follow shortly. "No I'm serious! That woman was never meant to be a mother! Every day you go home to mother whose kind and sweet and asked about your day, my mom however? The moment I walk through the door she tells me to get a real job. I'm telling you Sulley, she's horrible! Nothing I do is good enough, even when I got accepting into Monsters University! She actually told me not to bother because I would just be wasting a good college fund."

"Well, you know... she did kinda have a point" Sulley shrugged.

Mike just stared at him, not completely sure on how to respond on his friends bluntness.

"Okay first of all; Ouch! Second of all, that's not the point. For the past month she's been on my case about only working as a catering boy and I'm sick of it. I had to leave Sul... but I couldn't do it alone. You understand right? I mean, I don't expect you to forgive me... well yet, but you at least understand why I did it, right?" he pushed, desperate for any sign that they were still okay, and that he wasn't going to get his limbs snapped off during the night.

Sulley knew there was no point in continuing this petty argument, after all, his friend was desperate... and he did agree to move in, despite Mike's lies of the place.

He couldn't help but crack a small smile at the pleading face of his best friend, he was simply begging to be let off the hook, to know he didn't have to grovel or worship the ground Sulley stood upon. The blue monster knew he had the perfect chance to have some fun, to get revenge and maybe get a slave for the next day or two... but he wasn't that kind of person anymore.

"Ah come here you!" he viciously threw his arm around the green monster and dug his knuckles into the top of his head. "No, stop it! Cut it out ya big dope" Mike laughed before pushing himself away.

"So are we good?" Mike asked, just for final reassurance; in case Sulley wasn't actually being friendly but was trying to kill him horribly. "Of course we are you beach ball! You just owe me one, that's all" the other replied before standing up and lifting some of the boxes up with him.

"I owe you one? What about what you did to me in the Scare Games?" Mike said accusingly while following the bigger monster as he walked towards the closet door. Sulley rolled his eyes and sighed, "How many times are you going to punish me with that? I said sorry. Besides I got you out of the human world" he finished before standing in front of the door patiently while the other carried on. "Big deal, I'm the one who came up with the plan to get us out in the first place, all you did was get stuck on a cliff."

"Yeah, but you needed me to complete your plan didn't you? Haha! So therefore, you owe me" Sulley said with victory. Mike growled to himself when realising he had been beating.

Discarding their conversation, Sulley opened up the closet door and walked inside with the pile of boxes. However his whole body just stopped when he saw the actual room.

It was big... very big! The room was bigger than the kitchen and bedroom put together... It even had a closet on the other end of the room.

Something wasn't right, a closet in a closet?

"Mike!" Sulley called over, placing the boxes down. He waited until he saw his friend walk into the room. "What's up Sul- whoa this is a big closet" Mike admired upon seeing the large room. "Mike are you sure this is a one bed-roomed apartment?" the blue monster asked, once again his voice getting low and angry.

"Of course it is, just hold on" Mike said before he rushed out the room. He came back holding a few pieces of paper and showed the one on top to Sulley, which were the schematics of the apartment. "You see, shows you right there. Kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedroom, and closet!" he said, pointing to their outlines on the paper. Sulley raised his brow in confusion. There was nothing strange about the schematics. What was confusing him was that none of those rooms matched up to the ones Mike pointed at. "Let me see that" Sulley said, taking it from the others hands. He held it up to have a proper good look... what he saw however was far from good.

"Mike this isn't a closet! It's a master bedroom!" Sulley snapped, looking at the outlines. To make matters even worse, the apartment was twice as big then they had originally though. Now Sulley really was angry.

"Don't be ridiculous, of course it's a closet, the place only has one bedroom" Mike snapped back, only to have the paper shoved in his face. "Look at it properly ya thicko, the rooms even have their names on it, see? The kitchen is on the other side of the apartment! What we went into was the closet next door to it!" Sulley pointed out. Mike took the schematics back and stared at it while Sulley simply went on, "Mike, this is a rundown three bedroom apartment. Those are crazy expensive to get in the city! You said you were only going to look for something small! Didn't you even look inside the place before you bought it?"

He paced the floor back and forth, with worries and dread going through his mind, "H-how are we even able to afford this? I mean you got the schematics wrong, what if you got the price wrong as well!" he panicked. "No, no, look see! It's in our price range" Mike reassured while taking out another piece of paper from the pile and handing it over.

Sulley snatched it from his hands and quickly scanned through it. As his eyes scanned along the lines, his lip suddenly flared into a twitch. He had to restrain himself from ripping the piece of paper to shreds once he noticed the stupid mistake his friend had made.

"Mike" he growled like a beast, to which Mike gulped. "The total amount that we had..." Sulley started, talking as if it was nothing important. He waited for the smaller one to respond, despite shuffling awkwardly on his feet, "Yes?"

"You put it down... as the DEPOSIT!" he roared, almost pouncing onto the smaller monster. Mike actually fell to the ground with a startled yelp, finally seeing how scary his friend could really be.

"No, no, no, no... T-That was the payment... Give me that!" he cried, desperately snatching the paper back.

Sulley walked up to the side of the wall and slammed his head against it, hard. "I don't believe it, I don't! You put all our savings down for the deposit, and now we have to pay off the rest of it with our pay checks... How could you be so stupid?" the monster cried.

The answer suddenly became clear to him when he saw the smaller of the two attempt to read what was written on that piece of paper. The only trouble was, he was squinting an awful lot... and he was holding the paper upside down.

"Mike... Why are you doing that?" Sulley questioned, as if there was a human child in the room. The green monster looked up to the other and stared at him for no more than a second. He then found the floor to be more interesting. "Well... I think I know the problem" he started, trying to sound happy and positive, though his voice was nearly breaking.

"What did you do?" Sulley asked, spitting every word he spoke. This did not make it any easier for the cyclops as he slowly backed up to one of the boxes. He put down the pieces of papers and started undoing the top box. He rummaged for a little while before slowly lifting out a pair of large one eyed glasses "... I forgot to wear these" he confessed in a high pitched tone.

"…. What!?" Sulley's voice came out as low and gritty, really showing how angry he was at the green monster, though mostly because of his stupidity for not thinking to wear his glasses when buying an apartment.

"I usually wear contacts, but I lost them sometime last week" Mike said, desperately trying to defend himself.

"I can't really afford them at the moment… and I only need them to read..."

If Sulley had ears, then steam would be blowing right out of them.

He. Was. Mad.

"I'm gonna give you three seconds" the bigger monster snarled.

Mike had to take a moment to think, but finally caught on as he heard his friend start to count down. Before he had a chance to get to one, the cyclops dropped everything, ran out of the apartment, and raced all the way down the street, all the while with his best friend chancing closely behind.
