If Only They Had Met...
Yeah I don't think I will use flashbacks as often as I was planning to. Also on scenes that stay close to the canon of the movie I will not go over in detail
I also want to dedicate this chapter to the late James McAvory the voice actor of the Shredder in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cartoon but to me he will always be Uncle Phil in the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, may he rest in peace.
Soon on the next day it was time for the start of their first day at Monsters University and the start of their first class of the Scare School.
Mike and Randy were sitting pretty close to eachother, "Hey Mike don't you want to sit closer to your girlfriend." Randy whispered pointing to Laura who was already seated on another row.
"We are not together Randy, I am not interested in a girlfriend right now and if you continue to insist I will need to find myself another wingman!" Mike said glaring at Randy whose face became smug.
"Why would you need another wingman if you are not interested in a girlfriend right now?" Randy responded and Mike mentally punched himself for allowing Randy to use his words against him.
Then came the Scaring teacher Professor Knight who was then interrupted by MU's Dean Hardscrabble who gave a speech about wanting to separate the promising students from the mediocre ones and there would be a test to determine if they would continue the Scaring Program which made Mike worried.
When Mike was asked to demonstrate a roar then came in a late student who turned out to be James P. Sullivan, son of the scarer Bill Sullivan and it was a name that in her seat, Laura was sure that she recognised.
Soon in their dorm Mike was marking the exam on his calendar while Randy was doing some baking, then bursted in Laura looking angry.
"So glad it is cupcakes I am making and not a soufflé." muttered Randy while Laura shouted out "can you believe her!"
"Believe who?" Mike asked before asking "who, Dean Hardscrabble?"
"When she was making her speech about separating the mediocre students from the Scaring Class I know she was looking at you!" shouted Laura annoyed "it's like she believes you will fail that test and be kicked Mike!"
"I will not let that happen because I will study my eye off!" Mike said confidently.
"I think you will also need to practice the physical part of scaring as well." Randy said putting his cupcakes out on the windowsill to cool down.
"Hey I thought you were on my side Randy!" Mike shouted agitated while Randy gave a sorry smile.
"He just means you will need practice if this dream of us taking the scare world by storm." Laura said with a smile trying to calm Mike down "and I think our new friend can join in this dream."
"Wait you think of me as friend?" Randy asked and then with a smile he took two of his cupcakes and passed them to Mike and Laura.
"Here is to a new partnership." Mike said as the three of them put their hands together. "Also Randy pal you might want to hide the rest of your cupcakes before Laura scoffs them all down; at my 9th birthday party she finished her piece of my cake before my mother even finished cutting the pieces." Mike whispered to Randy who laughed out loud with Mike.
Laura glared at the two before laughing herself, "Hey how did you two meet?" Randy asked interested "my dad was an art major here and he said Ron Wazowski was the driving force against any attack on Fear Tech students. Including Fillmore Sharp."
"Well we kind of met on this field trip." Laura explained "we both pulled off a stunt to make a long story short and the rest was history!"
"Your dads must have been surprised when they found out." Randy commented and at this Mike and Laura bursted into laughter.
"You have no clue Randy my friend." Mike said between laughter "my mother felt she could diffuse the old grudge by inviting Laura and her parents over..."
IOTHM
Little Mike was at the dinner table along with his father Ron who hand his elbow on the table with his claw to his chin asking "does the former Fear Tech Dummy have to come here?"
"That's enough Ronald." Mindy chastised "I want this party to help put this to rest."
Soon Mindy answered the door and the Sharps were there and was lead to the dining room, "Hi again Mr Sharp!" Mike greeted as Fillmore returned the smile and responded "you can call us Fillmore and Atta, Mike."
"Hello Ron!" Fillmore said with a little bit of a darker face while facing Ron who only glared back at him. Fillmore and Atta saw around the dining table was mainly family pictures but also pictures that Ron and his friends took at MU including several pranks they pulled on Fear Tech students, particularly Fillmore and his friends.
The dinner went by pretty quickly with Laura eating her plate empty in no time and despite some stares between Fillmore and Ron nothing really escalated.
Soon the Sharps left with Mike and Laura glad their parents managed to get along and Atta and Mindy managed to depart on good terms. Mike before they left asked Fillmore to sign his Scare Card of his which he was more than glad to do.
There written on the landscape of the card was:
Every Monster is Special Michael
-Fillmore Sharp
"Some story." Stated Randy "and Laura despite the fact that your dad is a famous scarer you don't seem to boast about it as some children of scarers I have met have done, including that Sullivan monster who was late to class."
Laura wondered again why that name sounded so familiar to her and Mike said for Laura "she also prefers to get by on her own demerits, hard work is the only way to get by we both decided a long time ago!"
Later that night Randy was now leaving to attend a sorority and fraternity party with his cupcakes while Randy and Laura would be staying to study.
"We got plenty of time to study and you might not have another chance to be with the cool kids." Randy stated before he left, thinking he could have one last shot at having them come with him.
"I never liked being with the cool kids anyway but have fun Randy." Laura told him as she was sitting down with a book.
"Yeah and we will see you later wild man!" stated Mike which made Randy laugh.
"Don't you two get up to too much fun yourselves." Randy laughed leaving with his cupcakes. Mike and Laura's faces pretty much reddened when they realised what Randy was implying.
"Randy does not seem to want to give up on the notion of us being together without a brawl of a fight." Muttered Mike with a whisper not knowing their study session was about to end by a coming visitor from the window...
If you seen the movie (otherwise why are you reading this?) you probably know what scene comes next.
