Kudos to the people who reviewed last chapter :D
Now we arrive to the barbeque. I don't know if this chapter is gonna be long or short, but I'll try to make it exciting.
Flames will be used to roast sausages
I do NOT own Monsters Inc or University T-T

By the time Randall had parked in the driveway, they could already smell something grilling. This made Sulley's mouth water and they eagerly walked up and knocked on the door. Squishy was the one who answered it. A happy grin appeared on his face.
"Hey! You guys actually made it!" he said happily, nearly spilling the drink he was holding.
"Yeah, sorry we didn't come earlier. We wanted to stop somewhere quickly." Sulley said, rubbing the back of his neck.
"No, no. It's alright." Squishy said with an assuring smile.
"Smile!" a femme voice suddenly said from behind.
The Squishy turned around and was dismayed to find his mother pointing the video camera at them. "MOOOOM!" he whined, "Your suppose to be out back recording the barbeque!"
"I'm sorry, hun, but I just couldn't help but follow you here." his mother giggled before leaving.
Squishy sighed heavily before turning back to his friends. Randall crossed his arms.
"You still live with your mom?" he asked.
"She's getting old! The least I could do is stay around and help her if she needs anything." Squishy said.
The trio were then led to the backyard, where they were greeted by the other OK brothers. By now they've all found homes of their own. So Squishy is the only one who still lives with his mother. His mom was in the kitchen recording everything through the window. While Don was flipping the patties or roasting the sausages, the others played football. It was Mary, Randall, Terri and Terry against Sulley, Squishy, and Art. Surprisingly Randall's team was in the lead with ten points while Sulley's team had eight points. Randall easily managed to slip past Sulley and his teammates thanks to his invisibility powers. Although the floating glasses and football gave it away most of the time.
In one round, Sulley managed to catch the ball and was now getting cornered by Randall. "Hey! Squishy! Catch!" Sulley yelled before throwing the ball at Squishy. Squishy, who wasn't paying much attention, was surprised when he managed to catch the ball.
"Holy crap! I-I caught the ball!" he yelled happily, jumping for joy, "MOM! I CAUGHT THE BALL!"
"Good for you sweety!" his mom squeed happily.
However, Squishy turned around to find that everyone was running towards him. "Oh..." he sighed before getting tackled to the ground by everyone. Everyone giggled and laughed once they were piled on top of him. Even Squishy managed to laugh, even though he was the one at the bottom getting squished. Don and Squishy's mom laughed as well.
"Did you get all of that?!" Randall called. Squishy's mom gave him a thumbs up and bobbed her head happily.
Soon the burgers and hotdogs were ready so Don called everyone to lunch. Everybody gathered around the picnic table and ate while exchanging friendly conversations. Of course, Squishy's mom was recording everything. They planned on making video compies for everyone. Sulley and Randall planned on bringing their copy to work to show everyone. Just a little treat for all of their hard work.
"So, what took you guys so long?" Terri asked while his brother ate a hotdog.
"Oh," Sulley said, quickly using his napkin to wipe his mouth, "We went to MU."
"Really?" Art asked.
Randall nodded, using his napkin to wipe his mouth as well. "It was Sulley's idea and Mary wanted to go." he said.
"And what did Mary think of the place?" Don asked.
"It looked AWESOME." Mary replied, her eyes glittering slightly and a big smile on her face.
Sulley scoffed. But it wasn't an insulting or offending scoff. "Pfff, yeah. So awesome that it caused you to run off a few times." he said teasingly.
Mary groaned while the others laughed. "I said I was sorry on our way here!" she whined.
"We know you are, Mary." Randall chuckled, "Sulley here is just upset 'cause he's getting old."
Sulley choked a bit on his food before turning his head to Randall, who was smirking slightly. "I'm not that old..." he muttered before taking a drink out of his cup.
"Did you meet anyone there?" Terry asked.
"Oh! Yes. As a matter of fact we ran into Mr. Knight and Dean Hardscrabble there." Randall replied.
Don arched his 'brow'. "Oh? How are they?" he asked.
Randall shrugged. "Knight's aged a bit." he muttered, "And Hardscrabble, surprisingly she looked like she hasn't aged a bit."
Sulley's eye twitched ever so slightly. What's wrong with him? Ever since he saw Dean again he hasn't been acting like himself.
"Speaking of MU," Squishy said, "I even have our old yearbook still."
This caught everyone's attention. Especially Mary's.
"Really?" Sulley asked.
Squishy nodded. "Yep! I was hoping that after lunch we could take a look at it. For old time's sake." he said.
"I would be nice to see our younger selves again." Randall said.
Mary was getting excited. A grin appeared on her when the thought of seeing her friends' yearbook photos made her all jittery. "I can't wait!" she announced happily. Randall smirked at his friend's excitement. Soon everyone was finished eating their food and helped with the clean up. Once everything was washed up and put away, they gathered in the living room and waited for Squishy to return. Soon the youngest monster returned with a worn out, but neatly kept, hardcover book. Everyone gathered around as he slowly opened the book.
Soon laughs and words were exchanged as they went through the old pictures.
"Remember these guys?" Randall said, pointing at a group of gothic looking monsters.
"Oh, yeah." Sulley said, bobbing his head up and down in agreement.
"Who were they?" Mary asked.
"That was a fraternity group called HSS. Or were they a sorority?" Squishy replied.
"I think they were a sorority." Sulley said, "I don't know, I can't remember."
Mary cocked her head in confusion. "HSS?" she repeated.
"Yes, HSS." Don said.
"I thought they were just a bunch of emo kids." Mary said.
"So did we." the boys said in unison. Squishy then turned the page, which revealed a bunch of one-eyed monstresses. All wearing similar styled clothing and hair styles.
"Aw! No!" Terry groaned, "Remember them?"
Everyone, except Mary and Randall, laughed.
"Weren't these the girls you said good luck to before the competition?" Randall asked.
"Yes." Terry sighed.
Now it was Randall's turn to laugh along with everyone else.
"I'm confused." Mary said.
"It's a long story." Sulley replied.
Squishy then turned the page. This time it revealed the colors green and yellow. Mary let out a laugh when she realised who the smiling monsters present on the page were. "OH MY GOSH!" she screamed before laughing at the top of her lungs. Causing the lights to flicker a bit.
"Who would have known that I looked so charming back then." Sulley sighed fondly.
"Wow. I've forgotten how small Mike looked back then." Randall admitted.
"Those were the days of Oozma Kappa." Don said, smiling fondly as the memories started rushing in.
"Remember when your mom interrupted our initiation for Mike and Sulley?" Art asked.
Squishy rolled his eyes. "Of course. How could I've forgotten." he said with a hint of sarcasm. It was perhaps one of the most embarrassing moments to have occurred in his lifetime. "What a nightmare." he muttered before flipping the page again. Randall could've sworn he felt his heart suddenly stop. Mary squinted her eyes at the picture before grinning.
"Hey Randy! It's you!" she said, pointing at a young, light purple, lizard with big green eyes and a small grin on his face.
Randall said nothing. He just stared at the photograph. It was him alright, but he wasn't alone. Standing around him were older, scarier, looking monsters. All of them had a tough, serious, look in their eyes. Yet they all managed to either grin or smile for the camera. Standing beside Randy was a familiar dark purple monster with neatly kept fur, curved horns, and the scariest looking fangs. Everyone had fallen silent in the room. Even Mary, who seemed to have recognized one of the other monsters. The silence stayed for a good three minutes before Squishy finally closed the book.
"That's enough for today." he said with a nervous chuckle.
Everyone eagerly bobbed their heads in agreement. Perhaps it was a mistake to go through the yearbook once more. Sulley looked up at the clock.
6:34 P.M.
"Well, I guess it's time to head back." he said.
Everyone groaned sadly before they exchanged goodbye hugs.
"Thanks for coming." Squishy said as he hugged Sulley.
"No problem." Sulley replied.
"The video should be done by Monday. I'll give it to you then." he said.
After a few more goodbyes, Randall backed up and drove away. Inside, everyone was silent. Finally, Sulley cleared his voice and said, "Did everyone have a good time?"
"Yeah." Mary and Randall replied in unison. Although Mary's reply had much more enthusiasm. Soon Mary started to bring up all of the fun events that occurred. From her time in the university to the barbeque. Sulley also engaged in this as well, and soon the two were exchanging their thoughts on how the day went.
Randall never did say a word though...
