Hey Guys I hope you are liking my story. Please try and review my story because I would like to know how I am doing. Not much is happening in this chapter and it is mostly on Frank, but I hope you enjoy chapter 9!

It had now reached the middle of autumn in the Monster world. It was cold but bright morning one particular day, the sun was rising and was peeking through the crimson golden leaves, almost as if the leaves had absorbed the colours of the sunrise.

A gentle breeze blew a bunch of leaves across the car park of Scare Factory: Monsters Inc. All of the factories workers started arriving to get ready for their day of work, especially the Scarers. One certain blue, spikey headed Scarer was in the locker with his other fellow scarers getting ready for their typical day of scaring human children.

Now for some reason he seem to be smiling to himself in a smug way and the other monsters couldn't work out why. It wasn't that he never came into work happy before. He always had a positive attitude towards his job and friends but this time it was different. He first walked in with such pride, he waved to as many monsters as he could he tried to give a compliment to each of them. Frank was cheerful but not a cheerful as today.

Another Scarer in the Locker room was looking over at Frank. He was big and green and was known as Hank the Tank. He then whispered to the other Scarers next to him. "Hey!... Guys! Will you get a load of Frank, he's been acting weird all morning" He pointed with his thumb back to Frank who was now looking at himself in the locker mirror. He was talking to his reflection in a some form of positive attitude, before taking out a 'deodorant' can, twirling it in his and spraying under his arms.

"See what I mean?"

"Isn't that what Frank's usually like?" another monster questioned

"No, not like this, it's a different kind of pride I can feel it"

"The guy's probably just feeling lucky about today, you know Frank, always at the top of his game"

"I have a theory…that it's to do with a girl" a third monster stated with a smirk

"A girl?!" Hank quietly exclaimed "Come on, I'm sure Frank would have told us if it was about a girl… what makes ya say that?"

"One; nobody comes in with that much pride, not even about work, and two; that's kind of attitude you develop when you've found a lady friend"

Hanks eyes widened and he immediately smirked "If that's the case then I'm gonna find out, who's with me?"

Frank was indeed thinking about a girl and it was this particular girl monster that he had kissed the night before. He was replaying it over and over again in his head, he could just not get over how amazing it felt. He remembered the sweet taste of her soft lips against his, the way her eyes sparkled under the night time moonlight, the peaceful atmosphere, it was truly perfect.

"Hey! Frank Buddy?"

"Huh? What?" Frank snapped out of his daydream and turned to face his friends who had questioning looks on their faces. "Oh.… hey fellas" Frank answered feeling a little embarrassed.

"Are…..you ok?" One of his pals asked

"Err yeah…why wouldn't I be?"

"Frank we're you're buds, we work alongside you every single day, we can a tell when somethings going on with you"

'That's true' Frank thought

"Is there something on you're mind?"

"No….not really"

"Okay, how about 'Someone'?" the third one asked while raising an eyebrow

'What?! How did they know?!' Frank yelled inwardly "What? Pfft! No! where did you get that from? Of course not!" he laughed nervously

"Haha! You're denying it! That my friend; is a classic sign of being in love!"

Frank didn't really want to tell them who his new girlfriend yet, but he knew that he couldn't keep all of it from his friends

"I'm…'sigh'….ok maybe I am sorta..seeing a girl" smiled while rubbing the back of his head.

The other monsters eyes widened and then they gave a small cheer. Hank pulled him into a headlock and gave a small noogie "Frank you lucky dog you!"

"Way to go!" "I knew it!" "Is she pretty?"

"Okay! Okay!" frank laughed pulling himself free "I'm not saying her name but yeah, she's very pretty, she's fun and loving, she's like no other girl I've met before. But seriously, I don't want anyone else to know about this or her, not yet, I just don't know what would happen if this got out in the open, so please keep this between us"

His friends could see that he was being serious so they all nodded in agreement "You can trust us Frank, we wouldn't want to interrupt your love life" Ones of his friends said with a wink

"But you know you won't be able to hide it forever" Hank stated before they all headed to the scarefloor.

A few hours later the time reached 12pm and the Monsters Inc, the bell rang "Okay Everybody! Time for break!" one of the workers called out. The Scarers came out of the door stations they were scaring in and the assistant monsters pushed the buttons on the panel to make the door disappear up the converter belt. Frank came out his door and a worker gave him a thumbs up "Nice job Frank" "Thanks Bill".

Frank looked over to the near end of the scare floor and saw the boss of the company standing while admiring and analysing the scarers at work. He was a grey spider crab like monster with an afro and a moustache, he was just turning to head out the exit when he heard someone call out "Hey! Mr Waternoose! Sir!" The spider crab turned to see Frank approach him.

"Ah Frank, that was some good work out there, as always" He said with a smile

"Gee thanks er can I talk to you about something for a minute"

Mr Waternoose looked down in thought "Well I don't have anything scheduled right now…..certainly"

"Great! Well you see there's someone I know who wants to be a scarer and she's really good I've seen her do it. She's more than good she's incredible! she knows a lot of the techniques and can perform them perfectly, and she is without a doubt scary " Frank smiled at the thought of her.

"Hmm this sounds interesting" Waternoose looked slightly intrigued "tell me more about this 'friend of yours..."

Meanwhile just a few blocks away from the factory stood a small café in the middle of a street. Inside a purple monster waitress was dancing around while cleaning and serving customers an when she was not doing this she would be staring into nothing. Some monsters had to call her over to be served and Nora had to apologise but thankfully she managed to get them served.

Mrs Canavan was beginning to get very suspicious, especially since she flew into her shop this morning with a strange amount of enthusiasm. She had never seen Nora come to work that happy before. She had seen Nora daydream too, but this time she sensed it wasn't about Monsters Inc.

Nora was indeed daydreaming about something else, actually it was someone else. It was the guy who she admired very much and had a major crush on.

"Levvet?…"

The one she met in the very workplace she stood in, he showed her how to scare..

"Levvet!?..."

He was the one who kissed her, proving he liked her, it felt like heaven. She thought of his blue eye, his adorable smile, the cute spikes on this head….

"NORA!"

Nora jumped as she was immediately brought back to reality "Huh?...What?" she looked around the room and saw Mrs Canavan scowling at her, looking like she was about to lose her patience and her temper.

"Will you stop your daydreaming?"

"Oh I'm sorry Mrs C, I couldn't help it"

"What is going on with you?! It's like every time I look at you, your head is in the clouds!"

"I'm sorry, I guess just had a late night last night and I must still be in dreamland" pretending to give a yawn.

"Well wake up and get back to work or else you're fired!"

Nora then went back to her job but that didn't stop her from thinking about him.

Frank finished tell Mr WN all about Nora. Watenoose rubbed his chin in thought and looked a little disappointed at what he heard "I see….I'm sorry Frank as much as I would love to welcome new Scarers, I'm afraid I can only accept the toughest, most experienced scaring monsters up for the job"

"Please sir it would mean so much to her, okay so she might not have gone the best school, but I know just , just give her some time and I promise you"

"Alright since you are one of my most favourite Scarers, I will make an acceptation, If she can really prove that she is worthy and capable in the Scare simulator."

"Oh thank you sir!" Frank shook his hand excessively. He just couldn't wait to tell Nora.
