From the author: I am a Baptist and not Catholic, so thanks to the websites My Catholic Tradition, Catholic Wedding Help, and Mary's Advocates-Rites of Catholic Marriage for the information. :) Some of the vows made in the wedding are slightly altered then what's on the website, just so you know.

Also, this is sadly the last chapter of this story, but it was very fun making it, and I have put in my first flashback! So enjoy. :D

Sylvia and Randall both stuck to their promise, and they had a very satisfying relationship. After Mike and Sulley had gotten rid of him, his disappearance was kept quiet, as the rest of Monstropolis were more concerned with Waternoose's sentence and involvement. Therefore, there were only six other monsters (besides Randall and Sylvia) who knew about Randall's involvement with the child kidnapping scandal: Mike, Sulley, Waternoose, Fungus, Roz (who preferred to keep her identity as 001 classified), and Celia.

Fortunately, none of these people knew Randall had returned...until one Sunday at the Our Lady of Monstropolis Cathedral, one of the largest Catholic cathedrals in Monstropolis.

The pews were filled with monsters, young and old, as they waited patiently for the altar boys and Father Scalloski to appear for the Eucharist.

Now, Sulley and Mike were not members of this church. Mike was Jewish and Sulley was an Episcopalian. However, Mike's girlfriend, Celia, was a member. She was sitting in the fourth pew from the front in the middle, and fingering silently through a Bible. One of the big rules at the cathedral was "silence is golden", so Celia kept her scream in as much as she could when she saw a familiar figure sitting in the right pew: RANDALL!

Celia was terrified, perplexed, and worried all at the same time. Randall was supposed to be gone for good. Why was he in a church? At that time, Celia could do nothing as the altar cross, candles, Book of Gospels, and Father Scalloski at the end in his vestments appeared for the entrance procession. It was by far the longest Mass Celia had ever attended, and as soon as it was over she scrambled down the streets to find a phone booth. From there, she called Mike.

As soon as Celia started talking, Mike could tell something was wrong.

"Schmoopsie Poo, what's the matter? You sound distressed!"

"Googley Bear, listen. This is important! Randall has come back!"

...

A few months later, Randall invited Sylvia to take a walk in the park with him. It was at sundown, and the sun was slowly disappearing behind the trees. The air was still cool and crisp, but the love between would've been warm enough to keep both of them happy from an occasional chill.

After a few minutes, Randall sat Sylvia down at a bench. He smiled broadly.

"Sylvia, baby, for the past few months you've made me the happiest monster in Monstropolis. You've got all that it takes to make a man happy.."

Sylvia grinned shyly as he wrapped his arms around her in a hug. While they were embraced, Randall reached one of his free arms into his jacket pocket and pulled out a tiny parcel. They let go of each other, and Randall got down on two of his knees.

"Randy, what are you-*gasp*-oh my God.." Sylvia gasped because she saw the little box in one of Randall's hand. With another one, he gently held one of Sylvia's.

"Sylvia...will you become the first Mrs. Randall Boggs?" Randall asked. Tears of happiness welled up in Sylvia's eyes as Randall popped open the box, revealing a ring. Those were the words Sylvia had hoped he'd ask her the day they met.

"Oh Randall, yes! YES!" She embraced him in another hug, and the two rolled onto the ground happily. But little did they know they were being watched by a small, one-eyed monster hiding in a bush.

-Flashback-

Sulley: Mike, are you sure want to do this again?

Mike: You betcha, big guy! I know Randall's going to crack and do somethin' evil any day now. I'm gonna stop it before it affects us! Now, remember what the plan is?

Sulley: You come in on our walkie-talkies and pinpoint all the details to me.

Mike: Correctamundo! Wish me luck! *leaves*

Sulley: *sigh* This is a bad idea. He's eventually going to get caught...

-End of flashback-

"Sulley, you'll never believe what happened!" Mike whispered into the walkie-talkie.

"I probably won't. What?"

"Randall just asked Sylvia to marry him. She said yes!"

...

"I don't understand it, Sullster. I just don't understand it!" Mike was pacing across their apartment floor impatiently. The whole Randall situation was driving him nuts.

"What don't you understand, Mikey?"

Mike turned to look at his big hairy friend. "EVERYTHING! I have no idea how Randall's back, but what makes it even more of an enigma is that he hasn't done one single scheme since I kept my eye on him!"

Sulley smiled jokingly. "Enigma? Using big words today, aren't we?"

Mike frowned. "Sulley, this is NOT the time for jokes."

"Yeah, you're right..so what's your prognosis, Dr. Wazowski?"

Mike thought some more. He opened his mouth as if to say something, and a slight pause ensued.

"I have no idea."

Sulley had a feeling that's what Mike would say. "Mikey, I hate to burst your bubble, but have you ever considered the possibility that Randall's...well, changed?"

"Randall! Change?" But as the words escaped Mike's mouth, their meaning started to take a meaning on him. Was it possible?

"I'm just saying, Mikey. Think about it."

Mike sighed, "Well, I'd prefer to think about it in the morning. 'Night, pal..."

...

More months passed, and eventually an important day arrived: Randall and Sylvia's wedding. Sylvia was in the back of the church with her mother Francine and her sister Teresa. Teresa was zipping up the back of her dress while Francine adjusted Sylvia's veil.

"Ma, I love Randall, you know," Sylvia said, "but I'm a little nervous.." Her mother smiled and put one of her hand's on Sylvia's cheek.

"Honey, don't worry. It's natural for a bride to fret on her wedding day. But being with the man you love makes it all worth it."

Teresa added, "Besides, you look gorgeous! Be confident! You'd beat out any old bride for sure." She turned her bride-to-be sister towards the mirror for her to see herself. A sleeveless, snow white dress with a wide skirt and her scarlet scales complemented perfectly, making her appear even more gorgeous. Francine looked back towards the church.

"It's going to be starting soon. Your sister and I better get to our spots." After they left, Sylvia glanced at her reflection.

"Randall is your true love. Don't ruin it for him by chickening out."

Meanwhile, Randall was having an inner conflict with his own self as well at the altar. He was young, and getting married to someone he loved was a big step up in life for him. "Just breathe, Randall," he told himself. But he found it hard to breathe when he saw two familiar figures walking towards him: Mike Wazowski and James Sullivan. Randall thought he might throw up. When they got close enough, he said quickly, "Okay, I know I was a jerk in the past, and I know it was wrong for me to almost kill you. But my mind wasn't right back then! Being in that swamp, though it drove me crazy, it really made me reflect on myself. I love Sylvia with all my heart, and this is a big day for both of us, so PLEASE don't hurt me.."

Sulley just laughed. "Who says we want to hurt you?"

Randall's eyes widened. "Y-you don't...hate me? You don't want to break every bone in my body?"

Mike adjusted his yarmulke and said, "Randall, there comes a time when we have to accept our fellow monsters after they turn a new leaf, no matter how much a jerk they were in the past. You know, let bygones be bygones."

Randall was somewhat surprised that came out of Mike's mouth.

"Mikey's right, Randall," added Sulley. "We've decided you're a good enough monster now, and we just want to congratulate you."

Randall had to smile. "Thank you."

"C'mon Sullster," Mike said. "Let's get back to our seats. This yarmulke is starting to make me schvitz." Mike and Sulley went back to the back pew they sat in just as everyone was standing up for the bride. Sylvia, donned in her immaculate white dress, joined arms with her father as he led her down the aisle of the church towards the alter, an organ softly playing Ave Maria. Randall watched in awe as his beautiful bride came closer to him with each graceful step. His breath was simply taken away.

Finally Randall and Sylvia rejoined, facing Father Scalloski. First, the holy water was sprinkled. Then he said a few things about the Lord strengthening their love in the community and assuming their duties, and then came the part where Randall and Sylvia were to state their intentions.

"Randall and Sylvia, have you come here freely and without reservation to give yourselves to each other in marriage? Will you love and honor each other as man and wife for the rest of your lives? Will you accept children lovingly from God, and bring them up according to the law of Christ and the Church?"

Both seperately answered, "Yes." Then came the consent. Father Scalloski first turned to Randall.

"Randall Boggs, do you take Sylvia Serpentini for your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"

Randall looked at Sylvia lovingly. "I do." Sylvia was asked the same question to take Randall as her lawful husband.

She, too, answered, "I do." Then came the rings

The priest said aloud, "In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and Mary the Mother, bless and consecrate Randall and Sylvia in their love for each other. May these rings be a symbol of true faith in each other, and always remind them of their love. Through Christ our Lord."

Everyone in the church, even the non-Catholics (like Mike and Sulley) replied in unison, "Amen." Randall took the ring and faced Sylvia. Placing it on her finger, he declared, "Sylvia, take this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and Mary the Mother."

Sylvia did the same thing with her husband, and the Intercession continued. The priest said aloud, "If there is any one here that doesn't approve these two shall be married, speak now or forever hold their peace." No one said anything (part of it because of the look Sylvia's mother was making, daring someone to say something), so the priest finished, "By the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife! You may kiss the bride."

You didn't have to tell Randall and Sylvia twice, and they did so. As they left the church, the church goers tossed petals into the air, as was the tradition in the church. As Randall passed by the last pew, it seemed the ones who were celebrating the most (besides his or Sylvia's families) were Mike and Sulley. Randall was satisfied his new leaf on life was officially accepted, and he and Sylvia headed downtown for their honeymoon.

...

That night, the city lights shone around Monstropolis, particularly lighting a room at the Adelscary Hotel, which was occupied by a new couple: Randall and Sylvia Boggs. They were twisted happily under the covers, limbs intertwining in places not to be discussed, their tongues in a happy convergement during every kiss they made. Randall raised his head from Sylvia's breast and gazed into those beautiful eyes.

"Just think, Sylvia," he said. "You almost didn't want me." He kissed up her neck, his tongue slightly rubbing against her scales.

"Mm, I know," Sylvia responded, panting a little heavily from the sensation it brought her. "This might not have happened. What a fool I was..." Randall smiled at her broadly.

"No. I was the fool a long time ago, sweetheart. I shouldn't have take you for granted. Now I know what a blessing you are.." And with that, the rest of their passionate night was spent in their steamy affections, raising their bodily temperatures. Not only was Randall a new monster, he had a new life to live. And boy was he living it.

The end.
