Chapter 7
Angelica was already twelve years old and had already put two and two together. "Thanks for telling me this dad, I'm supposed to scare children when I get older". Angelica spat out. "Angelica Mae Wazowski! How did you find this out!?" Mike spazzed "I Googled it". She hissed. "I told you Michael, she was going to find out one way or another" Celia plugged. "Oh really Celia, then I'd like to see you just tell her everything, go ahead there's a good chance she knows already". Mike spat. "Go up to her bedroom and tell her about it". Celia suggested. "Not if she already knows". He argued.
Mike was on his way to her bedroom and knocked on Angelica's door. "Angelica" Mike called her. "Leave me alone". Angelica hissed. "Let me in Angelica". Mike insisted "Go away". She replied bluntly. She finally opened the door and let him in. "What made you find out the canisters"? Mike asked. "Oh Let's see maybe because they're stashed away in the closet collecting dust". She spat. "Our whole world depends on it" Mike replied. "Whole world depends on what, stupid cans"? she asked. "No the whole monster world depends on Childeren's screams, well it used to now it's childeren's laughter". He replied. She rolled her eye "Heh, and I'm supposed to believe you, I don't scare I sing and begins to sing". She replied. "You can sing very well, but the whole monster world doesn't depend on your talent". He replied. "Oh really, well I'm gonna try out for Monster Idol and I'm gonna win". She replied. "Will you listen to me Angelica"!? He yelled at her. "Nope". She put her fingers in her pointy ears that kept growing as she got older. "Angelica Mae Wazowski" Mike grew impatient "I can fill up that can, with my singing". She said smartly. "Angelica"! Mike yelled at her. "Not listening" she replies and begins to sing.
"She's not listening to me" Mike said to Celia distressed. Celia looked at Mike and raised her eyebrow. "Really? She will listen to you before she listens to me". Celia replied. "Go up there" Mike ordered Celia. Celia made her way up to Angelica's bedroom and knocked at her door. "Angelica"? she asked. She opened the door "I'm kinda rehearsing right now" she answered and shut the door. "Angelica"! Celia hissed. "Don't interrupt me while I'm rehearsing"! Angelica opened the door and slammed it shut. Celia opened the door and invited herself in "Angelica Mae Wazowski, don't slam the door on your mother"! Celia hissed. "Didn't you read the sign "Keep Out""?! Angelica raged. Celia ripped down the sign and set in on fire with a fireball that came out of her mouth. "Listen to me Angelica I am your mother and you are still a child and you are going to abide by my rules as long as you stay here'". Celia hissed. "It won't be long then, because I'm going to be an International Pop Superstar"! Angelica insisted. "Really Angelica, keep dreaming you are a monster honey you weren't meant to sing"! Celia busted her bubble. "Yes I can sing you haven't even heard me yet"! Angelica yelled back. "Angelica sit here" her mother motioned for her to sit on the end of the bed. She hesitated but she finally gave in. "Be honest with me now, what made you find out about the canisters"? Celia asked "When they were in the closet, hiding". Angelica replied bluntly. "Do you know what they are used for"? Celia asked her. "To collect screams" Angelica replied. "Wrong". Celia replied "Oh really collect laughs hardie har har real funny". Angelica replied sarcastically. "Angelica, one day this will be you, you still have alot to learn". Celia warned her. "Pshh Give me a BREAK, I'm going to be a superstar not try and fill up those stupid cans". Angelica replied. "If they are so stupid then why did you find out about them"? Celia asked. "Maybe because you kept them from me". Angelica replied. "We kept them from you until you are ready to understand". Celia explained to her. "What is there to understand? They are stupid and serve no purpose". Angelica stood her ground. "Angelica, they are the only way we survive". Celia tried to explain. "That's absurd, you monsters are all the same you want to reach the same goal and haven't tried to folllow your own dreams". Angelica tried to explain. "That's because we all work together as a team". Celia replied. Angelica rolled her eye and replied "Blah, Blah, Blah". "You are draining me Angelica". Celia replied to her. "How, mom by not following what Mr. Waternoose started"? Angelica asked. "Angelica, Mr. Waternoose is not in power anymore it's Sullivan and we follow what he started". Celia replied. "Sullivan"? Angelica asked "Sulley"! Celia spat. "I know what you guys are, you all are all afraid of going after your own dreams, that you followed everyone else's lead". Angelica hissed "Angelica, that is not the point"! Celia tried to get through to her. "Oh really than what is, get back with me when you have a legitimate answer for your reasoning".
"I can't get through to her Michael, I've tried everything". Celia sat by the kitchen table discouraged and distressed. "Give her time Celia, she is still young". Mike tried to reassure her. "She's young now Mike, she won't be for long, eventually she will grow up and will have to learn all about our world". Celia tried to explain. Mike sat down and spoke "She tells me, she can fill up those cans with her singing". He replied. "See what I'm telling you Mike, she still hasn't got a clue". Celia tried to reason with him but wasn't winning. "She's just a child"! Mike argued. "What are you telling me just leave her alone, she's going to have to learn somehow". Celia spat. "For now, yes". Mike replied.
