Chapter 2: Secret Santas
The young girl could smell the delicious sugar Christmas cookies that her mother had just taken out of the oven. They smelled great, and she was tempted to run out and get one. But she felt if she left, she would miss him. What if he came while she was gone?
She decided that waiting for her friend was more important, so she waited in her room, sitting on her bed. Her stomach started to growl. Maybe one little cookie wouldn't hurt. So she got up, and ran out of her room.
After a moment, she came back with a cookie, and climbed back on her bed. She was sure that he hadn't come yet. But she didn't want to take anymore chances of missing him. She lay on her belly of the bed, eating her cookie, staring at her closet, waiting for the door to open.
After one minute, nothing happened. She sighed, and after finishing her cookie, she started to color some more. She then looked at the closet again, wondering what was taking him so long.
In Monstropolis
Sully gave a big grin as he heard the laughing and watched it fill the container.
Mike came out with a proud grin on his face.
"Nice work, Mike." The blue and purple monster took the container out, and released the door. "You've been working hard."
"Yeah. It's harder to make kids laugh then it is to make them scream."
"Yeah, but it doesn't mean it's not better."
"Oh googily bear!"
The green monster with the one eye turned to see his girlfriend calling him. So he ran up to her, followed by Sully. "Hey smoochie poo."
"Hey. So umm...did you draw a name for the Secret Monster yet."
"Not yet. But I don't believe in those. It just seems so...scary that we have to buy gifts for monsters."
Celia gasped. "How could you say that? It's doing something nice for somebody else. I mean...I know you're a monster, but that's no reason to treat your fella monsters."
"Alright, alright. I'll choose."
"Ok." Celia held out the cap full of names out.
Mike reached in and grabbed one, and looked at it. "You see, there you go. I chose a name."
"Good. Now all you have to do is get this monster a nasty gift. That IS the spirit of Monster Christmas. What about YOU, Sully?"
"Huh?" Sully asked. "Oh, no, no. I'm not in to that stuff. You know me."
Celia chuckled. "Alright, I guess I can't force you. "See you later, Mike."
"See ya." The two monsters walked off, ready to go to lunch break.
Lunch break
"So what are you going to dress up like for the party tonight?" Mike asked his best friend.
"Umm...I don't know. I'm not really into dressing up. Well, except for Halloween when I dressed up like your mom."
"Ha ha, very funny, big guy."
"Ok, what are YOU going to dress up as?"
"Hmm...I guess to laugh at myself, I'll have to dress up like a big Christmas ball. I'll have to dye my body red."
"Oh good idea. Then I'll dress up like a candy cane, and our creation will be finished."
"Hey, that's a great idea, Sully."
"Uhh...no. I think I'll just come being me."
"Fine." There was a five second silence. "So, when are we going to see her?"
"You mean tonight?"
"Yeah."
"Oh. Wow."
"Well Sully, tomorrow IS Christmas Eve, and the factory will be closed. Tonight is our only chance before Christmas."
"Right. Oh boy, that's so sad. Sounds like it's going to be a short visit."
"Yeah, but worth it." Mike took another bite into his lunch.
"Maybe..."
"What?"
"Oh, nothing. I just thought...maybe we could sneak her out tonight?"
"What?"
"Just think about it, Mike. Take her out tonight, keep her all night, and bring her back next time the factories open. Which is in a couple of days."
"Are you out of your mind, Sully?! We can't keep a kid with us for three days. It's too dangerous."
"But you know she's not dangerous."
"I know, but..."
"But what?"
"It's just...it's just trouble, Sully." Mike turned his head away. "I know it is. Even though I have only one eye and can't see very well, I know that I'm very smart, and..this isn't a good idea."
Sully sighed. "Alright. Then lets try to make it worth it."
The party
"Hey Celia," Mike said, as he came to his girlfriend.
"Oh Mike!" she exclaimed. "You look so cute! Uhh...what are you suppose to be?"
"A Christmas ball."
"Oh. Right."
"You look like an angel."
"Thank you! That IS my costume."
"Oh, I wasn't talking about your costume."
Celia giggled, as her snake hairs sighed romantically. "I'll..I'll see ya later. I'm gonna go talk to Betty over there."
"Ok."
"Hey, what's up?" Sully said, as he walked across the room with a brownie in his hand. He got to Mike, and started chuckling. "You still look funny."
Mike glared. "You know what, I think you stand out too much. You're not even in a costume."
"Yeah, but at least I don't look ridiculous like you do?"
Mike sighed, deciding to give up.
"So umm...how much time do we have until we leave?"
The green monster looked at his watch. "20 minutes."
Boo's room
Since it seemed like forever, the little girl decided to decorate her on bedroom to surprise her monster friends. She was just too excited, and couldn't wait til they came. She put tensel all over the place, and big blinking light balls all over her room. After fifteen minuets, she stood in the middle, looking at her work. "All done."
She ran back up on her bed, and stared at the closet. "Oh." What was taking him so long? She sighed, and got up, and ran out of the room to help her mom make more cookies.
Monstropolis
Mike and Sully snuck into the room where they kept their secret door at. "Alright, I got her door key," said Mike, as he scanned it in.
"Good." Sully was holding a small gift wrapped up in Christmas paper, and a brownie for the party. "I hope she likes our gift."
"I'm sure she'll like it."
The white door with the pink flowers on it finally came down, and lit up.
Sully grinned with excitement. "It's been two months since we've seen her. She'll be really happy." Sully gently grabbed the knob, and slowly opened the door.
