A/N: Wow, i had this in mind for a few days but I never thought I'd actually write it! Then again it is about 2:30 am and I'm on a sugar high so ya. Anyway this is how I see the movie continuing, it is Dr. Cockroach/Susan since it's the most obvious pairing in the movie (seriously if you watch his reactions you'll see what I mean). So enjoy the story that my insane mind created! =D
Disclaimer: I obviously don't own Monsters vs. Aliens though I do advise everyone to see it!
Storybook Ending
It was dark, all around him was the deepest blackness ever seen. In his mind he knew she was nearby, knew she was in danger, he just did not know which way to go! He had to think! He had to find her, for time was of the essence! He looked around wildly, hoping for some sign of her, some shred of evidence that could lead him to her! Out of the corner of his eye he saw a light like those at the end of a long tunnel suddenly appear and was off like a shot, scurrying along the pitch blackness towards where he knew she was. The light grew closer as he hurried through the dark, so close to his goal! So close to her! With a cry he leaped through the light and looked around, recognizing his surroundings instantly, Gallaxhar's ship. He looks around, she was here, he knew it! At long last he sees her, trapped in what appeared to be a giant drinking glass. She looked at him, her tear filled eyes begging him to help her as she tried to break free of her prison. He dashed forward but found himself held back by some unseen force as maniacal laughter echoed through the room. Her screams caught his attention as a glowing green substance was forcefully pulled from her body, causing her great pain. He calls out her name, struggling against the force keeping him from helping her, from saving her! He watches in horror her body begin to shrink as her voice fails her and the last of the substance is removed, vanishing into a hidden tube. He finally breaks free of his unseen restraints as her glass prison is lifted off, leaving her eerily still on the floor. He rushes forward, calling out her name as he skids to a halt next to her and checks her pulse. To his horror her heartbeat is near non-existent, he cries her name, begging her to wake up, to stay with him even as her heart finally gives in to death.
"NOOO!!!" Dr. Cockroach PhD sat bolt upright in a cold sweat, breaking out of his nightmare and unintentionally waking the other occupants sleeping on the giant insect known as Insectosaurus. Benzoate-Ostylene-Bicarbonate, a.k.a Bob, snaps awake, "Anyone see where that leprechaun took the giant jar of pickles?!" he cried, before falling asleep once more. The Missing Link, commonly known as Link, glared at him, "Jeez Doc! Wake the whole planet why don't ya!" he snapped, having only just gotten to sleep after his shift. Dr. Cockroach glares back, opening his mouth to retort but was cut off by a soothing female voice, "Calm down, Link, the doctor just had a nightmare, he didn't mean to wake you up". Dr. C looked up at the 49ft tall Susan, named Ginormica by the government after her capture about a month ago. Relief fills his heart at the sight of her beautiful face, "You're right, my dear", he turns back to his disgruntled friend, "My apologies, Link" The fish monster sighs, "Ya, I'm sorry too" he lays back down and returns to his sleep. Dr. Cockroach shivers as a cold breeze runs over his sweat covered body, wrapping his coat tighter around himself.
"...you are alright, aren't you doctor?" Susan asked him worriedly. Dr. Cockroach looks up at her, smiling, "yes, I am quite alright, Susan, no need to worry" he stands and moves over to her, sitting next to her by Insecto's ear. The giant girl looks down at him, "You want to talk about it?" she asks, her concern evident in her large blue eyes. Dr. C looks up at her with a reassuring smile, "Thank you my dear, but I've already forgotten all about it". He was sure she could see past his lie, he knew that horrid dream would haunt him for some time. Fortunatly, Susan pretends not to notice, "That's good..." she yawns widely, cutting off anything more she was about to say. The doctor patted her nearest hand gently, "Why don't you get a bit more sleep, you look exhausted my dear", he offers. Susan shook her head, "I can't, it's my turn to stay up with Insectosaurus". The giant butterfly didn't really require someone to keep it awake, it didn't need sleep at all, it just got a bit bored flying alone so they had taken it upon themselves to keep their friend company during the night. Dr. C shook his head, "Go ahead, i can take your shift if you'd like" he offers, smiling up at her. Susan looked tempted, "Are you sure?" she asked, not wanting to inconvenience her friend for something like this.
"Of course, my dear, i feel well rested and i am quite sure i won't require any more sleep for some time, now go get some rest". His heart warmed as she smiled at him, "Thank you, Dr. Cockroach" she whispers and moves onto Insecto's back, falling asleep as her head hit the warm fur. Dr. C watched her sleep, unable to look away from the silver haired beauty that had swiftly worked her way into his heart. From the moment he laid eyes her he had been enthralled by her beauty and, despite a small incident involving a giant spoon, soon after awed at her kindness towards her fellow monsters. True she wasn't always a monster, but then again neither was he, it was a malfunction brought on by one of his experiments. He had hoped to give humans the cockroach's abilities to survive but instead transformed his head into that of a cockroach's. Fortunately his brain was as brilliant as ever, even if the materials he was forced to use in The Area were as sub par as you could get. He had attempted to fulfill her wish of getting back to her normal life but after many experiments on her, he had failed time and time again and yet her faith in him never once wavered, no matter what insane contraption he had created for her. Yes he admitted that a few of them were a bit...out there but he was a mad scientist after all, not a quack as Link often called him. Sighing, he slid down Insecto's face, settling on it's nose and looked at it, "so...er..." he looked down at the dark water below them, not sure what the insect wanted to hear. Insectosaurus roared quietly, careful not to wake the others on his back. Dr. C ran a hand over his antennae, he still had no idea how Link managed to understand Insecto, "erm...how about a story?" Insecto roared again, his nodding almost sending the doctor into the sea below. Dr. C clung tighter to the creatures fur, "alright...er...let me see...oh, how about beauty and the beast?" Insecto nodded again, more vigorously this time causing Dr. Cockroach to bounce on it's nose.
"Alright, let's see now, how did that go...ah yes, Once upon a time-" as he told his giant friend the story he could not help but wonder if this ancient farytale held some shred of truth. After all he was concidered a beast by everyone, Susan was very like the story's beauty and that jerk Derek could easily be...who was he kidding, it was a story! Women, even 49ft tall women, could and would never fall for a hidious, beastly cockroach like him. He was fooling himself if he believed fairytales and that so called happily ever after that could never occur in real life. He kept his solomn musings to himself, deep inside his brilliant mind where they belonged as he continued telling Insecto the story long into the night, "-and they all lived happily ever after" he finished at last. Insecto roared happily, having enjoyed the doctor's story immensly. Dr. Cockroach smiled at him, "glad you liked it", he patted the creatures nose, feeling a bit drowsy after telling such a long story. He jumped as Bob slid down Insecto's nose and bumped into him, nearly sending him into the sea again. Bob just grinned at him, "My turn, Doc! Where're the clowns?!" he asked excitedly. Dr. C stood up, straightening his lab coat, "There are no clowns here, Bob" he explained, climbing back up Insecto's face. Bob's jaw, or it's gooey equivilant, dropped, "What?! Nooo! How can I complete my experiments on Derek if there are no clowns?!"
"Shh! Bob you'll wake everyone up!" He whispered loudly, too tired to explain just how wrong that sentence was. Then again, he thought to himself as he continued his climb, perhaps experimenting on that selfish human would cheer him up a little, maybe he could even take Bob's suggestion and turn him into a clown permanently! Mwahahaha- oops! Got a bit carried away there, can't wake everyone up again for something Susan would never allow him to do anyway. Oh well, a mad scientist can dream. He settled down next to Susan, feeling a bit of pity for Insectosaurus, no telling what inane babble Bob was subjecting the poor monster to... He looked over at the sleeping beauty next to him and smiled, even if they could never be, he knew he could never tire of being with her. Laying his head on the soft fur, the doctor allowed himself to return to dreamland and to a beautiful silver haired princess welcoming him with her beautiful smile.
