THE STORY
…...
"Lee? Lee! Why don't you calm down and tell me what this is all about."
Bending down his glasses over the bridge of his upturned nose, Dean Grimsley, the Dean of Monsters University's School of Scream Engineering sat in his chair, waiting to hear the continued sputtering of his colleague's wild consternation. Resting his chin over his knuckles, the Dean waited, uncertain whether to cringe or perk up ears.
"Ernest!" replied Professor Leeander Norfleet, Chair of the Doorcraft Science Degree Program. "The door! The door that I've been telling you about!"
Professor Lee Norfleet was a minor specimen of a yellow-skinned monster. 4'3" if soaking wet, with large, round glasses bigger than his own eyes, gray, thinning hair on his head, large 4-toes, shoeless feet, and 8 frantic, flailing tentacles, which looked as though they were about to tear right out of the professor's white lab coat. The more the professor panicked, the more pronounced the professor's sharp-toothed under bite seemed to become.
"OK…the door." Dean Grimsley replied coolly, but with a slight tinge of angst in his voice. "Surely you don't mean the Conway Door."
"Yes!" piped Professor Norfleet. "Brittany Conway's door! Precisely! Oh my word, there's been an incident, the entire Door Lab is in shambles!"
"WHAT?!" exclaimed Dean Grimsley.
Dean Grimsley abruptly leaned forward in his chair, looking furious, and slightly menacing, at his colleague and subordinate. At close to 6 feet tall, with curved horns, a long, wide menacing face, and a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth, Dean Grimsley was certainly an intimidating sight to smaller monsters. As he looked at Professor Norfleet, slightly glaring, but not yet in full-on anger mode, Dean Grimsley's magenta skin became slightly flushed, not feeling that he was going to like the outcome.
"Explain….NOW!" demanded Dean Grimsley.
"Oh Ernest, it was beyond my control!" sputtered Professor Norfleet. "I received a call late last night from Campus Security! Two students from the Scaring School broke into the Door Lab, entered the Conway Door, and…"
"The Conway Door was ENTERED?!" growled Dean Grimsley.
"Not to worry sir, not to worry!" reassured Professor Norfleet. "No one was hurt, and the perpetrators are in custody."
"I see….." replied Dean Grimsley with a relieved exhale. "So, everything is resolved, and the Conway Door is back where it belongs?"
"Well…." started Professor Norfleet. "Not..exactly."
"Define….'not'….'exactly'…." started Dean Grimsley, the veins in his head starting to pulse.
"It was….really quite phenomenal actually!" said Professor Norfleet excitedly. "It creates entirely new hypotheses on the Monster-Human Door Continuum Theory! You see, Dean Hardscrabble deactivated the door once the incident came to light, trapping the two Scaring School students on the other side. However, they generated a massive amount of Scream Energy from adult humans, so much that it overfilled all Scream Cans in the door lab, and they were able to burst their way out, right before the Conway Door and the door port exploded."
Dean Grimsley stood up from behind his desk, and walked towards Professor Norfleet, the same dire look on his face, however, he began to break into a small smile.
"So Lee, let me get this straight…" started Dean Grimsley. "The Door Lab, under YOUR supervision, was subject to a security breach, Dean HARDSCRABBLE was the first to arrive and handle the situation, the Door Lab is a complete disaster, and the students broke through the other side of the Conway Door and destroyed it. Am I missing anything so far?"
"No Ernest." replied Professor Norfleet nervously. "That about covers it."
"And yet, you describe this series of events…." said Dean Grimsley, his face contorting into a massive snarl. "As PHENOMENAL?!"
Cringing, Professor Norfleet looked up at his boss, in a cold sweat and only able to force out the most honest answer he could.
"Y-yes Ernest." squeaked Professor Norfleet. "Considering the scientific discoveries made as a result of the incident, I'd say…."
"I DON'T CARE what you say!" bellowed Dean Grimsley. "Two students clearly violated University rules and security protocols, the Door Lab is a mess, and the Conway Door, the one I SPECIFICALLY asked for you to deliver to my office before shredding for my personal examination, is destroyed! There is NOTHING phenomenal about this situation, NOTHING!"
"I'm, s-sorry Ernest…" babbled Professor Norfleet. "I thought that you would be…"
"It's DEAN GRIMSLEY to you now, Lee!" demanded Dean Grimsley. "The Conway Door probably held more scientific secrets than any discovered from this unprecedented debacle, and now it's gone!"
Little did Professor Norfleet know, Dean Grimsley had ulterior motives to the door situation. Upon hearing of the danger the door presented, Dean Grimsley put the word out to some rather unsavory contacts of his, and planned to sell the door illegally, documenting all the while that it was shred. The interested party Dean Grimsley had lined up, known only by the nickname HW3, was prepared to pay 70,000,000MD for the door, and now, he had nothing. Not to mention, Dean Grimsley, not having made the cut of the Scaring School in his student days, had a long-standing grudge against all Scaring School students, and the School of Scream Engineering had a long-standing campus rivalry with the Scaring School. The fact that the deal was blown for Grimsley, by Scaring School students nonetheless, made him fume the worst kind of fuming a monster could exhibit.
"If it wasn't for your tenure, you'd be out on the street by now!" said Dean Grimsley. "However, that doesn't mean that no one is going to pay the price for this disaster. Tell me, who are the ones responsible?"
Professor Norfleet took out a piece of paper from his pocket, which was the incident report from the CDA regarding the situation.
"Emmm…." stammered Professor Norfleet. "That would be….Michael Wazowski, and James P. Sullivan. Both freshman, and recently admitted to the Scaring School based on their performance in the Scare Games. They are scheduled for a Disciplinary Meeting with the President of the University tomorrow morning."
"Well then…" said Dean Grimsley. "What are the stakes."
"According to Campus Rules and Regulations…" explained Professor Norfleet. "Best case scenario, they face suspension for a year, and the university's insurance pays for the damages. Worst case scenario, they pay for all damages, both become expelled, and the University can press charges with the CDA to have them Banished."
"Then that's what we're going to make happen." sneered Dean Grimsley evilly. "No Scaring School student is going to make a fool out of THIS Dean! Rest assured, I will be there bright and early, to see that these two idiots never see a bright future ANYWHERE!"
