Chapter 7

Lunch with Celia

Emily entered the lunchroom, Sulley had given her and Celia a lunch break so they could catch up on the old days, even though it was pretty late in the afternoon." She saw Celia wave at her, "Emily! come over here!" Emily smiled and headed over to where Celia was sitting.

"Hey Celia, how have you been?" Emily asked her as she sat down "Today sure has been hectic for me."

"I've been good, also congrats on getting the job! I knew you could do it! anyway, we should talk about hanging out this weekend! I was thinking Michael could tag along too, if that's alright with you. I just really want you to get to know him more." Celia smiled at Emily.

Emily smiled and then sighed "That's no problem, but wouldn't I be the third wheel though? I don't want to give that sort of impression."

"Oh my, I didn't think about that..but I'm sure you won't be left out." Celia smiled at her again. Emily thought for a moment, she wanted to get to know Mike more...but she never liked being the third wheel at all, it's happened when she met her sister's boyfriend. That was not fun at all. "Unless somebody else tags along with us though, like Sulley...I mean I would like to get to know him more. you know because he's my boss and such." Emily stammered and blushed slightly. She took a sip from her drink.

Celia gasped "I think we should double date! Sulley can be your date! it's perfect! how does Saturday sound?" she smiled at her.

Emily nearly choked on her drink and coughed. "What? a d-double date!? ummm I guess it sounds fine..." wow great Emily! you just had to talk about him! She thought angrily to herself.

"I'll tell Michael when I see him." Celia smiled at her. "Don't worry it'll be a lot of fun, who knows Sulley might like you too." she teased her, Emily couldn't help but turn red. "Yeah right." she laughed and rolled her eyes. I doubt he likes me in that way...

Celia and Emily's lunch break was over very quickly, they talked about the good old days and how each was doing with family and such. Emily was given more of a tour around the factory by Sulley, she also got to know some other monsters, including George Sanderson, Roz, Needleman & Smitty, and Fungus. Though it seemed Fungus looked a bit afraid of her. Which puzzled Emily a lot, well maybe he had his own reasons. It was soon starting to become late and everybody started to head home. Emily was almost out the door, when she realized she forgot the paperwork at her desk! Emily groaned and started to head towards the laughfloor, she ran into Sulley.

"What's the rush Emily? I'm closing down for today, I don't think you want to get trapped in here." he chuckled at her.

"Ummm I forgot about the paperwork at desk. I was just going back to get it, if you want I can close down for you..." Emily suggested "I really don't want you to wait for me.."

Sulley thought for a moment and handed her the keys. "Well I trust you since you're Celia's friend. You can give me the keys tomorrow early in the morning. Also, I can't wait to see you on Saturday." he winked at her, Emily couldn't help but blush. "Be careful, it's sorta dark on the laughfloor! Just watch your step!" Sulley told her.

Emily started to make her way to the laughfloor, all she had to do was get her paperwork and close up the factory. Easy enough right? She knew she couldn't mess this up, after all Emily was holding Sulley's keys! Emily opened to door and looked around, it was dark on the laughfloor. She spotted a red light. What? did somebody forgot to put away a door? Emily started to walk up to the redlight and saw that the door was wide open.
