Monsters Inc: Tail of Two Scarers
By Laserbeak7007
Chapter 2:
MONSTERS INC. LEVEL FOUR SCARE FLOOR:
Sybil, following a crowd of curious monsters lead by Roz, Sulley, and Mike, entered the room
" Hey, who started the party without me???" Mike demanded, pushing through the crowd surrounding the broken door.
Sybil hurried over to Madison, her soft hair in disarray the run. She was gasping slightly, her blue eyes wide with worry and fear, "Maddy, what's going on? Is everyone ok??"
"We lost someone on the other side..." Madison replied.
"Geez, y'make it sound like they're dead!" Mike retorted.
"It's not hard out there."
"Who's missing?" Sulley asked concernedly.
Madison shook her head. "Dunno. Any witnesses?"
Sybil got a cold sensation in her chest and heart and looked around wildly, "Randall???? RANDALL???" This is insane..I hardly know the guy and I' nearly having an asthma attack when he's probably just here in the crowd somewhere and they're all gonna think I'm nuts...but I HAVE to know! She grabbed the short monster who was talking to Madison and shook him slightly, "Who was in the door?!?"
"It was Mr. Boggs..." the monster said.
"Awohhhhh maaaan!" Madison groaned. "Can't he stay out of trouble?! Ok. Hang tight." She sat down on the floor and thought. After a moment, she looked up, asking. "Where did that door lead?"
Randall's partner flipped through some papers. "Here..." he handed over the stats for the broken door. Madison's eyes skimmed across in quickly. "Good." she said. Find the door belonging to the house next door. Someone has to retrieve him."
The response was instant but not one Madison was hoping for. Sybil's scaled faded to a sickly white. Mike and Sulley, among several other monsters, whistled in profaned innocence and took a step backwards. Even Randall's partner looked none too eager to brave the Human world for his friend.
Sybil glared at them, then raised her hand on a sudden impulse, " I'll go! I'd be glad to!" She tried to pretend she isn't scared to death as she stepped forward, the most unlikely of rescuers.
The three eyed red worker nodded, activating a door brought in by a large, burly monster, "Okay, this door is set for the house next door, be careful, we don't know if it was a human that broke the door on the other end, or something else...."
She looked around and smiled weakly, "Uh...no chance of anyone coming with me, huh?" Most of the scarers took another step back. Silence reigned. "Fine...but you're all off my Christmas Card list!" She activated the door and plunged in.
"Geez, wha- Where'd that new girl go!?" Madison glanced around amidst the chaos. Monsters everywhere, rushing, talking, crying, standing around..."Who told her she could go out there!?" she demanded. "Especially without an away team?! Mr. Sullivan!"
"What, Madison?" Sulley turned his massive head to look down at her.
"That new girl, Sybil just flung herself through the door!"
"What?!"
"We've not only lost two monsters now, but she could jeopardize any missions to bring back Randall!"
"Well....is that really such a bad thing?" Sulley ventured.
She only glared up at him.
"Ok, ok. Go get an away team ready, we'll send them out ASAP."
"Yessir."
A new monster, definitely a snake, slithered up to Madison. Extremely, horrifically long, he has the markings of a boa constrictor except that they are black and silver, and it came with a cobra-like hood and fangs that are much too large for comfort. "I hear someone needed an away team? I'll volunteer," the snake hisses. He held the tip of his tail up to Madison, as if to shake hands (or, in his case, tails). "Name's Pattillo, ma'am."
ON THE DOOR'S OTHER SIDE:
Sybil fell flat on her face in a dark bedroom and slowly picked herself up, shaking her head and glancing around. Her scales were illuminated by a blue glowing nightlight. She guessed she's in a young boy's room from the rocket ship wallpaper and the messy scattered toys. Things ranging from a squeaky clown to stuffed animals. She glanced around. Maybe I should have stopped to ask WHICH house Randall's in...oh well, I'll find him. Maybe if I get him back home he'll like me! She beamed at this idea till the kid in the bed stirred and she realized she'd been talking to herself out loud, "Opps..." Resolving to be silent as a mouse, she started to tip toe across the room. Everything was working out great. She's starting to feel like a real sluth..until…. Eeeeeeeeeeeuuuuuuuuuu!!! sirens blasted through the air. She'd accidentally stepped on a toy fire truck and it's now giving off it's recording. Her scales paled and she froze right by the kid's bedside. "Oops...."The kid sat up in bed, catching sight of the two big alien eyes inches from his face and SCREAMED! Sybil screamed too and darted out the bedroom door down a hall at top speed, ducking around a corner as she heard the kid yelling: " Mommy, Mommy! there was a giant turkey in my room!"
Sybil developed an indignant look, "I am NOT a turkey..." she stiffened as she found herself face to face with a very unhappy looking doberman. The dog bared it's huge teeth and growls low in its throat. Sybil giggled weakly and wiggled her fingers in a wave at the dog, "Nice puppy...."
The doberman snarled and snapped at her , making her shriek, dodging around it and running for her life for the front door. Her hands grabbed the doorknob, but it's locked and she yelped as the dog was coming up fast. As a last resort she threw herself through the doggy door just as the dog latched onto her tail and part of her dress. She cried out in pain and kicked it in the face, hearing her skirt rip up the side as a large chuck was taken out, "Why you nasty beast! Don't you know how much a Slimer's silk special costs these days??? " She yelped and didn't have much time to be indignant as the dog followed her and she sprinted down the street, throwing herself into a trash can. The dog came running up, sniffed the trash can, then snorted and went back to it's house. Sybil sighed in relief...then poked her head out and gulped, realizing she now had NO idea which house she was in, much less which one Randall is in. "This...is not good..."
IN A NEARBY HOUSE:
Randall kicked the door as the kid he scared was still screaming and huddled in her bed, "Stupid door, work! Let me outta here!!!!" As the door failed to work for a fifth time, he turned and glared at the little girl. "Will you BE QUIET???? I'm trying to think!" He heard the sound of approaching parent footsteps and swallowed hard, "Uh oh..." The door banged open and the two parents stared at him in shock. He grinned his most charming smile, "I was just leaving. Lovely kid you have there..uh SEE YA!!" Darting between their legs, he ran out of the room at top speed, throwing himself out an open window into the brush below it. Unfortunately it's was a rose bush, "YYOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!" He flew out of the bush, holding onto his tail which was full of thorns. " I.HATE. HUMANS." Just then he saw the new girl, Sybil, come flying out of the house next door with a large doberman on her tail ."What's SHE doing here?" He turned invisible and ran after them. He halted as the dog stopped near a trash can and sniffed, then turned around and walked back, "weird..."
Moments later Sybil poked her head out of the can and he heard her say "This...is not good..." He returned to his normal color, "I coulda told you that."
Sybil's eyes widened in shock and jumped out, tackling him and hugging him, "RANDALL!"
Randall blinked, but wasn't about to complain. wow...I think she likes me! hmmm....what is that alluring scent? Half week old pizza? Wonder if that's her perfume or the garbage....
She suddenly realized she's being way too affectionate and leapt away, blushing, "I mean..I'm glad you're okay.."
"What are you doing here, anyway?" He couldn't help but notice a portion of the side of her dress was gone leaving a tantalizing view of her long right leg.
"Well..I..came to rescue you. The door was broken that you went through and..." She stopped, feeling really dumb, and blushed intensely, "Guess I made a big idiot out of myself thinking I could actually help a top scarer, huh?"
Randall was stunned that anyone would WANT to help him. No one ever had before, and a slight smile formed on his face, "Well..I guess we better try and find another neighborhood....I doubt we're gonna find a door we can get to in this one. " He nodded to all the lights turning on in the houses in the neighborhood, "Let's go... " They slipped down an ally and headed off looking for a quieter neighborhood with a house they could get into, "Oh...and there IS one thing you can do to help me..."
Her blue eyes lit up, "Really??? anything!"
He blushed a bit and gestured to his tail, "Can you help me get the thorns out of there?"
Sybil laughed and soon they are both laughing as they walked off, unknowingly getting themselves more lost as they wondered deeper into the city.
BACK IN MOSTER WORLD:
Mike Wazowski held up his green hands in a defensive gesture, "Whoa, whoa! Are we SERIOUSLY gonna risk our necks in the Human World for RANDALL? I mean, the guy's bad news!" He looked around for support and when he got none, sighed , rolling his large single eye. "Okay..fine..I'm in. But we better get one heck of a hero's party when we come back...I'm missing quality snuggle time with my Dazzling Darling Celia to go after that eight legged frog..."
"What is it with all these volunteers?!" Madison demanded. "Not only is this a specialized mission, monsters, this is RANDALL we're talking about! No one likes him!" She looked around, but only received blank stares."Fine. Fine, it's not my job to handle this; my job is to fix things and make coffee. Go ahead, go kill yourselves for Boggs."
As she walked past the open door, someone- a huge, lumbering beast- plodded past and swung his thick tail at just the right moment. Madison went flying through the door and landed headfirst in a toy-box on the other side of the room. The door Madison fell through was deactivated and pulled up and taken away into the factory without the knowledge of anyone else.
Mike glanced around, "Where'd Madison go? Oh well, musta gone back to the office. uh...so...who's gonna go first?" He glanced at the door , then back at everyone else. Who were staring at him, "WHAT?! Oh.....phooey! Fine! I'll go." He looked at the door nervously, then peeked in, slowly slipping inside.
In THE HUMAN WORLD:
Madison groaned and moved slightly, her only reward being a Buzz Light-year toy painfully jabbing her in the side.
She grunted and shifted around in the box, finally righting herself and peeking out. She glanced toward the bed, a small boy still sleeping peacefully, then toward the closet. She'd never been in the human world before...it was weird.
She quietly climbed out and skittered across the room, stopping to look out a window. Not good, she thought. Very not good... Where AM I?
ELSEWHERE:
It somewhere around midnight as they reached a park in the middle of the city. Randall halted to let Sybil pick a last thorn out of his tail with a "ouch", then started as a crack of thunder announced a downpour of rain, "Oh..great." He grabbed a trash can lid and held it over his head as they passed the cans, then glanced as Sybil. She was getting soaked to the bone and obviously freezing but not saying a word of complaint. He felt a bit of guilt well in his stomach and sighed "Uh..Sybil..uh..here" He held the can lid over her, sheltering her from the rain rather clumsily while trying to salvage his dignity and not look like he cared.
Sybil blushed and her blue eyes sparkled "Aw, Randall....you're sweet," She gave him a kiss on the cheek and Randall immediately got that glaze-eyed look all males do when they're smitten and walked along holding the make- shift umbrella over her as if he hadn't a care in the world. When he was sure no one was looking his tail timidly drifts over and curled around her's in a sorta monster form of holding hands as they searched for a place to wait out the rain.
BACK IN MONSTERS INC. :
Pattillo looked at everyone at Monsters Inc., who were waiting to see who would follow Mike into the child's bedroom. He hissed, "Wimpsssss...." before slithering through the door into the human room. Since it was a rather small, cramped room, he slithered right between Mike's legs, as it was the only way to go. He tugs the end of his tail in, then slithered forward while looking back at the closet door. He ran into a bunk bed. "Oosss...,"the snake monster hissed in pain. Looking at Mike, he whispered authoritatively, "Either get sssssomeone elssse in here, or closssse that door." Turning in small circles, he glided silently over to scrutinize the children in the bunk bed, with a rather hungry gleam in his eyes.
The one-eyed monster blinked, but shrugged and turned back to the door. "Hey Sulley, you coming..." *WHAM* The closet door was slammed shut by a gust of wind and Mike gulped, looking at the snake, "I guess we're on our own..HEY!" He grabbed the snake by the tail. "Don't even think about it! The last thing we need is humans hunting us down! C'mon, let's go find those two so we can get home in time fer dinner." With that he turned and headed for the door out to the rest of the house.
