Thank you for the reviews guys! It means so much to me and I promise to make this a good story.
So this chapter is more of a glimpse of what Boo's daily life is when her monster friends are not around. It's a little boring but something exciting happens nearly at the end so stay tune.

Enjoy…
Boo woke up startled, feeling something wet touching her hand. Her eyes darted around the room till she looked down and smiled.
"Oh Snowy, you scared me."
Snowy is a Russian Ovcharka and the family's pet dog. His long white fur makes him look like a giant snowball. His eyes are covered by his long banes but Boo knows he is staring at her, his tail wagging. Snowy went up to Boo and licked her hand again, making her giggle.
"Mary, time to get up" someone called out.
"Coming mom" Boo called back getting out of bed, "Come on Snowy."
She skipped to the bathroom, standing on her stepstool while she brushes her teeth. Snowy sat by the door waiting for her. After she's done, they go downstairs to the kitchen where Boo's parents were making breakfast.
"Morning my little Mary" said her father who was pouring his coffee.
"Hey dad, morning."
Boo's mother places breakfast on the table and passed a plate to her. "Here you go sweetie, your favorite pancakes" said Boo's mother.
Boo eats her strawberry pancakes hungrily and takes a sip of her apple juice. When she noticed her parents weren't looking, she breaks a piece of bacon and bended down under the table.
"Snowy, come here" she quietly called the dog.
Snowy was lying under table but quickly gets up when his snout sniffed food. He makes his way towards Boo's hand and takes the bacon. He chewed on it happily.
"Mary" Boo's father warned, "what have we told you about feeding the dog?"
Boo sits up straight in her chair, acting like nothing happen but it seems she was already caught. She looked where her father was sitting, reading the newspaper, not even looking at her. "How did you know it was me?" she asked.
"I have eyes on the back and side of my head" said her father.
Boo frowned at this and gaze at her father's head, trying to find these 'eyes' on his side. "Where? I can't see them."
Her father chuckled and faced her with a playful grin, "That's because their invisible."
Boo wasn't sure about that but smiled anyway. She watched her father finish his coffee and then stood up to grab his coat and his briefcase. Boo's father works for the State, helping people who had trouble with the law. While her mother works as a realtor agent, selling houses to people. They both work hours, even overnight, but they managed to find time to spend with their daughter.
"I have to go for an early meeting" said Boo's father, "I'll be home around eight o'clock."
"Bye daddy" Boo called out.
"Good luck with the case" called Boo's mother.
After he left, Boo and her Mom finish their breakfast and clean their dishes. Boo walked to the living room to watch TV, while her mother was getting ready to go to work. She made a quick call to the babysitter.
"Alright Lisa is coming in three minutes, Mary."
"Okay" said Boo, "Oh mom, before you go I have a question."
"What is it baby?"
Boo knows very well that's she can't tell anyone about the monster world (although she knows nobody wouldn't believe her) but she wanted to hear her mother's opinion about what she and Sulley talk about. She has to ask the question in a different way. "Um, if a person has done bad things can they still do good things?"
"I don't see why not."
"How?" asked Boo.
"If they do a good deed or you befriend them" said her mother.
Boo reflected on the answer and understood her mother had a point. Randall may have made bad decisions but he can still make good decisions. Maybe, he need a friend to show him how. Boo smiled as she thought of that.
"Why do you asked?" said Boo's mother
"Oh, I saw it in a cartoon, that's why." Boo wasn't the kind of person to lie but it was just a small lie.
They heard the doorbell ring. Boo's mother went to the door to answer it. Standing at the door was a tall freckled teenager.
Lisa has been Boo's babysitter since she was a little baby. They would play games, watch movies together, and Lisa would read a bedtime story. But since Lisa turn sixteen she been acting really different. Boo noticed that all she does is sleep. Lisa would talk about going to parties and staying up late. She wasn't the fun babysitter anymore.
"Hey Mrs. Gibbs" said Lisa in a drowsy voice, "Sorry if I'm late or anything."
"Oh-no you're just in time" said Boo's mother.
Boo sees her mom leaving and walked up to her to give her a hug, "Bye mom, I love you."
"I love you too, have a good day" After she left Boo and Lisa went to the living room.
"Alright Mary, ready to have some fun?" asked Lisa.
"Uh-huh, I got some new coloring books we can color" said Boo.
Lisa showed a cheerful but tired smile, "Okay, let get this party started!"
5 minutes later…
Lisa was lying on the couch, sleeping and snoring so loudly.
Boo just stood there baffled, after a few minutes her babysitter already fell asleep. She bowed her head and sighed, "Yeah, some fun…" she said sadly.
She went back to the floor and colored in her coloring book, by herself. At least Snowy was there and right next to her to keep her company. During the day things would get really boring for Boo. She wishes it was nighttime already, she wanted to hear last part of Mike and Sulley's story. She even wishes to be in the monster world.
She would sometimes visit her friends in their world but only when Lisa was sleeping. So far, she managed to go and come back before her babysitter woke up. Most of the time Lisa would sleep the whole day and Boo would be gone for more than an hour. The one place that Boo dreaded to go was school. Her birthday was in three months and after she turns five she would be staring 1st grade.
She wasn't scared of school; she was scared of making friends at school. The only friends she has are monsters. Boo tired not to think about it too much.
"Maybe it wouldn't be that bad" she thought.
After an hour of drawing Boo got bored and decided to take a short nap. Lisa took over the couch so she went upstairs to her room with Snowy following her. She leaves her door opened so Lisa could check up on her if she wakes up, if she'll ever wakes up. Snowy laid down next her bed as Boo covered herself with blankets and closed her eyes. Her last thoughts were Mike and Sulley, wondering how their day was going.
"You promised her what!?"
"Now Mike calm down" said Sulley, "I promised Boo that if Randall returns I'll let him work back in the factory."
The best friends were having a coffee break in the lunch room. Mike asked Sulley about what Boo wanted to talk to him yesterday. The poka-dotted monster told Mike but didn't expected him to dropped his coffee cup and looking at him with a shocking expression.
"Sul, why would you promise her that! I wouldn't let that creep back here!"
"I understand Mike, but Boo has a point. It's been two years since Randall has been banished; I think it's about time to give him another chance."
"Oh really?" Mike went to a supply closet to find a broom and clean up the mess he made. "You know what he could be doing in those two years? He's probably planning on getting revenge on us; he'll take over the factory, heck he may try to take over the world!"
"Now you're over thinking things"said Sulley who rolled his eyes, "and even if he did do that I wouldn't allow it."
After Mike finished mopping and cleaning up, he went to the counter to make more coffee for himself. He didn't believe he was over thinking things. He also didn't believe that Randall would change for the better. He knows that nasty lizard would try something on him or his friends just for revenge. Still, Sulley made a promise for Boo.
"C'mon Mike I know you don't like this, but let's do this for Boo. Wha'da say?"
Mike turned to look at Sulley only realized that he shouldn't have. Sulley was giving Mike that look, the pleading look that the one-eyed monster always fall for.
"C'mon little blinky."
Mike tried to look away but he couldn't. He finally gave up and agreed with the furry blue monster. "Alright fine, as long as that creep stays away from me" said Mike, "if he ever comes back that is."
Sulley chuckled and patted Mike on the head, "Thanks buddy, and who knows, maybe you guys would be pals again."
Mike frowned at that thought, "We were pals…" he muttered.
"huh?" Sulley asked.
"Nothing" said Mike who shook off the gloomy feeling and put on a smile, "Now let's go we got to get more kids laughing."
Break time was over and the two monsters headed back to the Laugh Floor.
Later that day, Boo and Lisa were sitting in the living room watching TV and eating popcorn. Tonight was a new episode of Boo's favorite show, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command.
Suddenly they heard the doorbell ring, which cause Snowy to get up and barked at the door. Lisa went to answer it and saw Boo's mother standing outside.
"Oh hey Mrs. Gibbs" said Lisa.
"Hi mommy!" Boo greeted.
"Hey girls, how was everything?" asked Boo's mother who walked in the house.
"Fine" said Lisa briefly.
"We're watching Buzz Lightyear!" cried a cheerful Boo.
"That's great sweetie" said Mrs. Gibbs, "I'll see you tomorrow Lisa, have a good night."
"Thanks see ya Mary" said Lisa as she left to go home.
Boo's mother got everything ready for dinner while Boo watches the last minutes of her show. Mr. Gibbs finally made it home and the family ate their dinner. Then it was off to bedtime for little Boo. It was her father's turn to tuck his daughter in.
"Goodnight my little Mary. Want me to read you a bedtime story?"
"No, it's okay dad", yawned Boo, "I'm really tired."
"Alright dear, sweet dreams" said Boo's father as he kisses her forehead and closeed her door.
After her father left Boo sat up on her bed, waiting for monster friends eagerly. She was a little tired so she decided to close eyes for a while. She waited and waited for minutes until she heard a knock on her closet door. She eyes snapped open and she hopped out of bed and ran to her closet. When she opened the door she looked up and smiled to Mike and Sulley.
"Hi guys" Boo whispery greeted.
"Hey Boo" both the monsters greeted back.
The four year old let them into her room. She runs back to her bed and sat down, her eyes filled with excitement. Since Mike and Sulley were a little big to sit on the little chairs, Sulley had to sit on the floor and Mike stood on the toy box.
"How was your day Boo?" asked Sulley.
"It was okay, but it was so boring without you guys."
"Let me guess, drowsy Lisa fell asleep again" said Mike who gave the babysitter a nickname.
Boo giggled at the nickname, "Yeah she did, but anyway tell me what happens after the games."
"Alright kiddo, you're ready for the shock of your life?" asked Mike with optimism.
Boo nodded her head.
"Okay so, after we won the games I discover something I couldn't believe…"
Boo was on the edge of bed, she was indeed shock.
Sulley cheated so their team would win the games, Mike took off and went to the human world alone, now they were both trapped in a camping house in the human world. Mike explained that he and Sulley have to make the adults scream as loud as they can so the door would open on the other side.
"So we work together to scare those adults. Sulley stayed up above while I make creepy noise to spook them. I opened the windows, I knock down the beds and I used some wire to trip all of them."
"Did you scare them?"
"Oh yeah, Sulley jumped down and roared as load as he can" said Mike.
"But we have to hurry" Sulley took over, "the screams were so strong that the door was gonna explode any minute."
"Whoa really?" said a confused Boo, "It just exploded?"
"Yup" said Mike "seems that adult screams were powerful than we thought."
"Huh, so what happen after that?"
"Well, after that incident we got expelled" said Sulley sadly, "We…got kicked out of collage."
Boo gasped. She did not expect that at all. But if her friends never finish collage, how did they get into Monsters Inc?
"We left Monsters University, said goodbye to our bothers, but then Dean Hardscrabble showed up telling us that we actually surprise her that year and she wish us good luck" said Sulley remembering very detail of that day.
"And then till that day, me and Sulley decided to stay together", said Mike as a smile appeared on his face, "We took jobs at the factory as mail delivers, then we worked in the kitchen and then after years later they were looking for new scarers. We took the job and, well I think you know the rest Boo. "
"You guys became the top Scarers after that right?" asked Boo.
"Yup, but we also became best friends", Sulley said and smiled to Mike who smiled back, "I have to admit, that whole experience change me. Even though I got expelled I learned about teamwork because of Mike."
"And both of your dreams came true" said Boo who turned to looked at the one-eyed monster, "I'm sorry you didn't become a Scarer Mike."
Mike just shrugged his shoulders. "Nah its okay, I've got over that anyway. Besides I'm somewhat of a Scarer expected I make kids laugh. Plus I got two best pals and the love of my life Celia, as my family."
Boo smiled and thanked Mike for the nice comment. She loved her monsters friends so much that they were like a second family to her. A monster family. She thought of something in that moment. If she becomes friends with Randall would he like to be a part their family?
Somewhere in a small town of Louisiana, on a warm evening, a family was outside banqueting food. They were all talking and eating their hotdogs and hamburgers. Then a scream was heard inside the house and a small boy ran out outside.
The family jumped up when they all saw the boy. The mother and father rushed up to their son, seeing the tears running down his face.
"Son, wha'da doing up and why ya crying?" asked the father.
"Papa, something came in my room and scared me!" cried the boy.
"Ya sure it wasn't a nightmare?" asked the mother.
"No ma, it was real and huge!"
The father tells his son to stay outside with his mother as he and his relatives go inside the house. He goes and picked up a baseball bat as his weapon. It was dark in the house, only the light from the moon shone in the windows. The men quietly go upstairs, heading to the boy's bedroom. The father opened the door.
As they entered in the bedroom, they saw nothing that was out of the ordinary. The window was open but that was it. They looked around again but still didn't find anything.
"There's nothin' here man" said one of the men, "Your son in heap of trouble for making up stories."
"No, he wouldn't do that" said the father.
Suddenly the door behind them shut with a bam. It startled them a little. Then they heard strange noise in the room but they couldn't see anything. They saw a shadow at a corner then a toy was thrown at them. The men yelp, they were now shivering in fear. Then everything went quiet. The father and the men looked around, nothing.
Then suddenly a creature was hanging upside down from ceiling. The men were startled that it popped out of nowhere and the creature gave a load roar. The men were so terrified that they screamed. They were screaming so loud that they didn't notice that the boy's closet was glowing on the other side. They ran to the door, trying to open it, after many tugs they got it opened and ran out of the room. Once they were gone the creature landed on the ground, grinning to himself that his plan worked.
Noticing that the closet was glowing he ran to the door and opened it. When he went though he didn't have time to duck as the door exploded. Chucks of wood went flying everywhere. He didn't expect that but it didn't affect him that much. He slowly got up and looked around; it seemed he was in a storage room for new doors. He couldn't believe after two years of planning and seeing how the doors worked and watching the humans he was finally home.
Randall was back.
And that was chapter 2! I'm sorry it took me long, I had to watch my niece and nephew for the weekend. And sorry for any grammar problems or OOCness. For chapter 3 we'll go to the monster world and finally we will see more of Randall, yay! Once again thanks for the supporting reviews guys! X)
