Hi, everybody! This is my second MI fanfic, but I deleted the first one since it went all weird. This one is better! Anyway, I hope you enjoy the first chapter!
The door creaked and looked as if it would fall off of its rail. The door slid into the station, and the metal was covered in rust. The red light on the door came on dimly, and the door was opened.
The door lead to almost the middle of nowhere, in a hillbilly marshland. Fungus looked out into the human world. He stepped out into the strange world. It was silent, only with a few bugs buzzing around.
He took a few shaky steps into the trailer, and then he left into the marshland. He kept the trailer door open so he could find his way better.
Fungus had no idea where he was going. His main fear was getting lost in the human world and never returning, although he had many other fears going around his head.
He saw a new light turn on, then a woman and a boy shouting.
"Mama, that darned gator came back!" The boy shouted.
"I'll get my shovel!" The woman responded.
Fungus heard something get pelted with a shovel, and he wondered if humans were actually toxic. Once the shovel stopped hitting the creature, the light went out and the two people went back to bed.
Fungus heard something going through the knee-deep water, and he wondered if that gator was after him. He forgot about his mission and frantically ran back to his door, with the welcoming light. He was only two metres away from his exit when something grabbed onto his wrist and jerked him backwards, flinging him into the water.
Fungus whimpered as he looked around the darkened swamp, trying to find his peruser. He didn't see anything, and he wondered if anything was behind him. He tried to keep perfectly quiet, but he let out a few whimpers.
He suddenly felt bravery from all of the adrenaline, and he wondered if making noise would make the creature scared and leave. He stood up and waved his red arms above his head, dancing around in circles. He let out random yells and kicked the water, hoping to scare the animal away. His frantic dance stopped when he heard a chuckle come beside him, and Randall appeared out of nowhere, smiling at his old scaring partner.
"What's that, you're rain dance?" Randall asked, almost sounding like he was in a good mood.
"No," Fungus said, embarrassed for his little jig.
Randall had his fun, and his good mood quickly turned sour. "What took you so long?"
"Oh, well, uh, you know. It t-took a while to find the right door," Fungus said. He led Randall to the door that was in front of him and took him inside the trailer, and back into the monster world. The two came back into the monster world.
"It took you three years to find a simple door?" Randall asked, pushing the other monster behind the door out of his way. "Three years for only one door. Is that correct."
"I guess it is," Fungus cowered.
"Finding a door is not rocket science!" Randall exclaimed. He decided to stop tormenting Fungus. He had his share of yelling for one day. Randall distracted himself with finding a new door. He needed an unused door for his plan that would work out so smoothly.
He found a pile of discarded doors and looked through them, pushing some off of each other. Some doors were banishment doors, while others were doors to a child's room that was no longer afraid of monsters, and was never shredded.
"You know, the laugh factory has a better selection of doors," another monster added in.
"The laugh factory?" Randall shuddered at the word.
"Yeah, we make kids laugh for energy!" Fungus added in, obviously happy with his new job.
"What is the monster world coming to?" Randall asked, leaving the pile of doors. "We're monsters. We're in all of those scary stories and we're made for scaring kids! Fangs aren't funny."
"Well, the scary monsters are now the door workers," Fungus explained. "And the assistants are now the laughers."
"Laughers?" Randall cringed at the word. He drops the subject. "Then let's just wait until the laugh factory closes for the night, so we can break in and get the door I want."
"But boss, breaking in is illegal," Fungus pointed out.
"Then I'm sure they'd happily hand over a banishment door to me," Randall said sarcastically. "We'll just have to wait here until that factory closes, and then the plan can finally take action."
I hope you like it, and please review! Don't ask about the title, I had a last-minute title change, and the sound of it just grew on me, despite the plot! :)
