A/N: It's been a while since I've done a 'Monsters University' story, so this will be my comeback while I work on another story. Everyone knows this little nursery rhyme, "One, two, Freddy's coming for you. Three, four, better lock the door. Five, six, grab your crucifix. Seven, eight, better stay up late. Nine, ten, never sleep again". And this is what our heroes deal with in this story, also, this is an 'Inside the Field' and 'AVPA' midquel. Enjoy!
Scaring class was in session, and Sulley was taking notes on everything Mrs. Shumway was teaching them. Sulley was about to fall asleep but Mike carefully slapped him in the face.
"Dude, at least TRY to stay awake" Mike said as he turned his head back to his notebook.
"Sorry, I didn't get any sleep at all last night" Sulley apologized.
"Nightmares again?" Mike asked. Sulley nodded.
"You don't know the half of it" Sulley said. For the past several weeks, Sulley had been having nightmares and it kept making his school life very difficult. He closed his eyes for a little bit and opened them back up and looked over to Mrs. Shumway.
"Alright, now open up your books to page sixty two" she instructed. Sulley turned the pages until he got to the page. He got to page sixty two and saw a glove with metal fingers and knifes on the tips on the metal fingers. Sulley gasped and looked around the room in fear, he knew he was dreaming, and he had seen that glove a lot to know who it belonged to.
"Oh no" he muttered. He closed his eyes and began speaking to himself.
"Wake up. Wake up, wake up, wake up" Sulley kept saying to himself. He opened up to his eyes and looked around to see that the inside of the building looked totally burnt and no one was in their seats. Ashes fell from the ceiling slowly like snow flakes, and there was someone standing at the chalk board. He was human, his face was totally burnt, and some of his left cheek was missing so that you could see it's muscle tissue. He wore a black fedora, black jeans, a red and green striped sweater that had some burnt spots on it, and he was wearing the glove Sulley saw in his book.
"You really shouldn't fall asleep in class" he said in a dark and deep voice. Sulley got out of his seat and began running towards the exit. Once he got out, he was in an elementary school classroom that had flooded floors, no desks, the windows were boarded up, and there were poorly drawn drawings on the chalk board. The burnt human was in front of the chalk board and looked to Sulley.
"Hi, Jimmy" he said.
"Who are you?" Sulley asked as he backed away slowly. The human walked up to him slowly as well.
"You look just as handsome... as ever" he cooed evilly. He then held up his index bladed finger up to Sulley's nose as he was backed up against the wall.
"You have nothing to worry about. This won't hurt. One. Little. BIT!" he said slowly. Sulley held his hands up in front of his face to defend himself, and the human used his bladed finger to place a cut on Sulley's left palm.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Sulley screamed. He woke up back in his desk and all eyes were on him.
"Are you alright?" asked Mrs. Shumway. Sulley kept taking deep breaths with widened eyes.
"Yeah, I'm sorry about that" Sulley said. He then looked at his left hand to see a bleeding cut. What happened his dream happened in reality, the burnt man cut him. The bell rang and Sulley ran fast out the door.
"Sulley! Come back! Sulley!" Mike called out as he followed him. Sulley ran over to the water fountain and rinsed his bleeding hand in the water.
"Sulley" he heard a voice say behind him. Sulley screamed and looked behind him. He thought it was the burnt human but as it turned out it was just Randy.
"Dude, you look like crap" Randy said as he looked at the dark circles under his eyes.
"Thanks for being straight forward about it" Sulley said sarcastically.
"Sulley!" Mike's voice called out. Sulley and Randy turned around to see Mike.
"Sulley. If there's something wrong than you have to tell me" Mike said as he walked up to his friend. Sulley just stayed silent.
"It's okay, you can tell us. We're not gonna judge you" Randy said. Sulley then took a deed breath and spoke.
"Okay. I'm having these nightmares. And there's this human. His face is burnt, he has this glove with knives for fingers. He keeps haunting me" Sulley said.
"Wait, did you say 'burnt human'?" Mike asked.
"You've been dreaming about him too?" asked Sulley. Mike nodded.
"One, two, Freddy's coming for you" Mike said.
"Three, four, better lock your door" Sulley said.
"Five, six, grab your crucifix" Mike continued.
"Seven, eight, gonna stay up late" Sulley continued.
"Nine, ten..." Mike said, and they said the last part together.
"Never sleep again" they said in a whisper.
"You dream about Freddy too?" Sulley said.
"Yes, he did this to me" Mike said as he showed Sulley his arm to see four horizontal cuts on it.
"This is bad" Sulley said.
Meanwhile, at the school of scream can design, one of the students fell asleep and woke up to find themselves in a boiler room.
"Hehehehehehehehehehehe" the monster heard. He looked behind him to see Freddy. Freddy placed his clawed glove on one of the pipes on the wall and dragged it across the pipe. Sparks were flying off the metal surface and after a little bit as he got closer, he took his claws off the pipe.
"What do you want?" asked the monster.
"You" he said. Freddy then charged at the monster and began attacking him.
Meanwhile, in the classroom. The other students noticed the sleeping student screaming and he began flying around the room and he struggled to wake up. The monster was then flung out a window and was impaled on a flag pole.
"Oh my God!" shouted one female student.
"Call 911!" shouted one other male monster.
"I'll go get the nurse" Prof. Brandywine said in a monotone voice and walked out the classroom.
A/N: Sulley and Mike seemed to be worried. Except for Brandywine because somebody just got killed by Freddy Krueger and he acts like nothing happened! Some teacher he is, right? So, it seems we all know that if Mike and Sulley have been dreaming about Freddy and it could lead to disastrous results. More to come in the next update. Please review, thanks!
