I do not own Monsters University or Monster's Inc. I only own Melanie.

Story Start

"Professor, what doors are you testing today?" a monster asked nervously outside of the testing room. The students' claws tapped on its arms as she waited for the professor to answer her.

"Well we will be testing yours first since you asked," the professor at Monster's University in charge of door testing said with a smirk.

The student mentally gave a miserable groan, but externally the young monster just smiled and nodded. "Great," she tried to say with a chipper tone, but it wasn't working so well for her. She backed away from the testing room as the professor entered the room. She looked at her fellow classmates, who also seemed nervous about the door testing, which was their final exam.

The lights dimmed as the few professors in the room prepared to test their students' doors. A white wooden door, which was covered in many abstract art posters, was the first door they were going to test today. They would do about half of the doors today, and then they would finish the other doors tomorrow.

Melanie gave out an annoyed sigh as she entered her bedroom, and she tossed her messenger bag onto her bed. She quickly slammed her bedroom door shut when she heard her parents yelling at each other over her being gone all day. She had been at college and her part-time job all day, but her parents didn't believe that education or a job were important. They believed she should just get married, become a stay at home mom, and allow her husband to decide everything, just like her parents' relationship was.

"Idiots," she practically growled as she walked to her closet to grab some pajamas to change into since it was so late at night. Her hand was on the doorknob, and before she knew it, she felt the door being pushed open from the other side.

"What's going on?" an unknown voice whispered from inside her closet.

Melanie's eyes widened as she peered into her closet, and her eyes narrowed as she caught sight of two slightly shadowed people in her closet. However, something was strange because all of her clothes, shoes, and safe were nowhere to be seen.

"Who is in there and what did you do with my stuff?" she shouted as she rushed into her closet, except it wasn't her closet anymore. She was now standing in a room full of random doors and two people. The people were strange as in one of them had bright pink skin, two heads, and eight eyes between the two. The other person only had one eye, dark green skin, and no ears or nose.

"That's not a child," the pink one shrieked.

"Destroy the door, call the CDA or someone," the green one screamed as he pressed a big red button beside him that put the door behind her in a large shredder.

"Close down the room," the pink one yelled and went to hit another button, even though that would trap her and the other professor in the room with the adult human. She had to protect the students.

Melanie felt as if she was in a dream as she watched her room disappear and her door be shredded to toothpicks. Her anxiety went through the roof when the pink monster shouted to lock down the room she was in with the monsters.

"Get out," was the only thought in her mind as she pushed past the dark green monster and raced out of the room. She ignored the other monsters of all sorts, who were in the hallway. She was shocked none of them tried to grab her as she ran past. However, she didn't stop to question anything. She just felt as if she was stuck in a bad dream, and she didn't know how to wake up and escape.

She ignored the terrified screams from all of the monsters she passed as she tried to find the exit to the building. A large monster was blocking the exit she found, and he was huge and covered in spikes. There was no way she would be able to shove him out of the way, so she ran down another hallway to try to find a different exit.

"Stop, don't go in there," another monster shouted when she went into a classroom to dodge strange monsters in yellow outfits that completely covered their bodies, head to toe.

Melanie's heart was threatening to burst from her chest as she realized she had run straight into a lab. Everything seemed to freeze when the monsters in the room noticed her. The monster closest to her let out a piercing scream and dropped the beaker full of unknown chemicals onto the table near a lit Bunsen burner, which made many monsters duck. However, the scream had made Melanie care more about covering her ears than ducking to miss the strange chemicals and glass exploding straight at her.

A scream of pain echoed in the lab and even out into the hallway, which was full of monsters in the yellow suits and other monsters. They all paused and looked at the lab door with confused expressions.

The students in the lab escaped out of the emergency side door of the room while Melanie was left on the floor, screaming in pain. She wasn't able to open her eyes and see what was happening, but she could feel every excruciating second.

The glass and liquid seemed to melt together and soak into her skin, which felt like what she imagined fire all over skin covered in gasoline. Her throat quickly became raw from her screams, but the pain only got worse. Her jaw started to hurt as she felt her teeth changing and her fingers started to hurt as well. However, the worst pain was in her back. It felt like something was trying to break her spine and rip out of her back.

"Just wake up," she feebly thought before she passed out from the levels of pain she was experiencing.
