A/N When I first started Angela's Pet Monster back on March 15th this year, I never expected it to be so popular! 18 chapters with 43 reviews! Honestly, I thought it was a stupid idea at first, and just posted the story for the heck of it, and when I got so many reviews, I was amazed!
Then Angela's Pet Monster 2 came into writing on April 4th. 17 chapters, with 43 reviews, more than APM temporarily! They say the sequel isn't always as good as the first. Well, in my opinion, APM 2 was better than the first! Now here's the third and final installment, Angela's Pet Monster 3, with familiar characters, including a new villain. I do not own anyone except Angela, Lucille, and other OCs; Monsters Inc. belongs to Disney Pixar.
DayDreamKid: Thanks :) And I thought it was good song too. And I agree; it's about time XD
peacelover394: I was wondering where you were XD Yeah, 6-year-old Randall on a swing sounds adorable!
Alu In Chains: You just make me laugh XD I love your reviews! Yeah, training the meerkat twins ought to be fun ;) And thanks :)
As Lucy and the Meerkat Twins prepared to leave, Swift said, "You guys go ahead and go home, I'll catch up with ya."
Speedy nodded, and led Lucy down the sidewalk, holding a flashlight. Swift turned towards the tree and knocked three times on the tree trunk. "Alright, Randall, I know you're up there. Get down here, I wanna have a word with you."
The leaves and branches rustled; the Lizog climbed down the trunk to the ground. "How'd you know I was up there?"
"I saw you jump in," Swift explained. "I just ignored you."
"What do you want? I just came here to find Lucy."
"Oh?" Swift raised one eyebrow, smirking knowingly.
Randall's cheeks turned red. "No-I-Angela was just looking for her! That's all!"
"Look Randall, I know you like Lucy." Randall opened his mouth, but Swift held up a paw. "No! Let me talk! You like her, and you can't deny it. I've seen it in your eyes. Rand, buddy, I just want you to be happy. And anyway, if you don't hurry, you'll miss your chance."
Randall raised one eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"C'mon, don't play stupid! You know the routine: the girl tries to get the guy to like her, the girl fails, and the girl goes after another guy. In other words, if you don't tell Lucy how you really feel, she'll go tailing after someone else, and it's bye-bye Lucy."
Randall's fronds perked up. "Really?"
"Duh! It didn't happen with Sylvia, but that's because she's obsessed with you."
"From what you said, it sounds like she's obsessed with Henkan."
"Right. I forgot. Look, either you tell Lucy your true feelings, or it'll be too late. Your choice." He got on all fours and ran down the sidewalk to join his brother and Lucy.
Randall watched his friend leave, and sighed; Swift was right. Because he thought-before-he-acted, he was smarter than his twin brother. He was right; if Lucy lost hope in him, she'd go after someone else. He was in love with her, and didn't want to lose her. But he was still haunted by Sylvia's actions.
Lucy is absolutely nothing like Sylvia! A voice inside of his head said. She's the polar opposite! She belongs with you.
Randall sighed and nodded; he knew what to do now.
Later, Lucy was lying in Randall's long-abandoned dog bed, which was now hers; Randall didn't sleep in it, because he slept in Angela's bed with her. She took a deep breath and sighed sadly. She wanted Randall to love her so badly, it hurt. If only he'd forget about Sylvia. She wasn't like her! She told him that multiple times, but he refused to love her.
"Maybe Randall isn't for me." She said to herself. "Maybe I should just give up."
Someone was coming up the stairs; she placed her snout between her front paws, giving the illusion that she was asleep. She heard footsteps coming towards her; she knew it was Randall because of his four legs. She didn't move though. Then, she heard a guitar begin strumming gently. She nearly cocked her head before remembering to stay still; was that Randall? She didn't know he knew how to play guitar. Then he started singing:
(Two is Better than One by Boys Like Girls featuring Taylor Swift)X
As he sang, Lucy's small smile grew; he was singing to her! He really did have feelings for her! Her dreams were slowly coming true. She moved her head to look at him; he was standing by her bed, playing a double-necked guitar, and smiling at her. She joined into his song.
Randall set the guitar down, took hold of her front paws with his top hands; he pulled her up so she was standing on her hind legs against his chest, and he wrapped his lower arms around her middle. They spun in a dance as they sang:
They spun faster and faster until Randall finally stopped, and dipped Lucy low to the ground until the tips of her ears brushed against the floor. I remember what you wore on the first day, you came into my life and I thought, 'Hey,'" He whispered; he pulled her up as they sang the last verses:
XX
Randall brought Lucy's head closer to his until their noses were almost touching. "Two, is better than one." They whispered simultaneously.
"Lucy, I was a jerk," He said. "I never realized how you and Sylvia were polar opposites. I shouldn't have been so stupid and stubborn. I'm sorry."
Lucy smiled. "I forgive you."
Randall leaned down further and pressed his lips against hers; he gently moved her backwards by walking forwards. Soon, they bumped into and were lying on Angela's bed, with Lucy on the bottom, and Randall on top. As they kissed, he stroked her ear and held her head; his tail snaked around her middle and his and squeezed, pulling them together.
"I've dreamt of this moment." She sighed.
"Then your dreams have come true." Randall pushed Lucy's snout up with his, and began kissing her throat; sighing, the Saluki stretched her hind legs out.
"Ahem."
Startled, Randall and Lucy jumped apart; the light had been switched on, and Angela was standing by the bed, crossing her arms, tapping her foot, and smirking.
"Uh…uh…" Randall muttered, turning red.
"Well…we…I…" Lucy chuckled nervously.
Angela held up one hand; the animals silenced. "If you're going to do that, do it outside." She said.
Smiling widely, Lucy jumped up and trotted down the stairs; Randall slithered to the floor and followed her. He stopped and looked over his shoulder. "Hey Angela? Thanks." He smiled.
"No problem, buddy," She nodded. "Now go get her, Tiger."
Nodding, he practically bolted down the stairs. Chuckling, Angela smoothed out the sheets that were ruffled. The twins came in through the window, both panting and sweating. "Hey, Ange." Swift said.
"Where're Randall and Lucy?" Speedy asked.
Angela smiled knowingly. "Let's just say you won't wanna disturb them for the night."
Swift grinned and raised his eyebrows slyly at his brother. "Sounds like Randall's got his head on straight now."
"I'll say he does." Angela nodded.
A/N All you readers have been waiting for this moment. How do I know? You said so yourselves XD The song is Two is Better Than One by Boys Like Girls feat. Taylor Swift. It's one of my favs, and goes with Randall and Lucy's relationship.
Not much to say now. The story isn't over yet! What'll happen between Randall and Lucy? What about the bad guys? What are they planning? No one knows...
