Nothing much to say about this one. A little discussion between me and Ray. Lets just say this is a talking chapter before the story turns.

Chapter 7 A Little Disagreement

When everyone woke up, breakfast was served in the living room. Pancakes, bacon, eggs, normal things humans would eat at that time. Sean was in the chair near a window, Randall and his father were on a couch, and Sully, Mike, and Readagar were in chairs near the fire. Joy came into the room and sat in one of the chairs between Ray and Sean.

Randall: Come on dad try something....

Ray: You know I don't like human food....

Randall: Its not like its poison or anything...

Sean: You can be sure of that....Joy's a good cook

Joy: Thanks.....Come on Mr. Randall's dad....I helps to get a day started....

Ray:....Well....fine.....

He quickly ingested one of the bacon slices, barely chewing it.

Ray:...Its....alright I guess...

Randall: See...

Sully: Yeah, its not a risk trying things....

Mike: Believe me...I do that allot.....

Readagar: I bet....

Mike: Hey!

All besides Mike:(Laughing)

Readagar: Ohh....So....when are we leaving?

Sean: Around six.....

He places his plate on one of the desks near his chair.

Sean: When we get to my town, it will be dark....

Sean: Giving us the night to rest then an early start tomorrow...

Randall: Ok with you dad?

Ray: Fine with me....

Joy: Sully can you help me with the plates?

Sully: Sure...

*
As told, everyone waited for 6:00pm to come. Sully was trying to beat Mike at Mario Cart racing on the T.V. Randall was practicing his jabs, kicks, and his tail fighting skills with Readagar in a room large enough that they couldn't knock anything down. Ray was in the same room, enjoying the good breeze and sunlight from an open window. Joy was watching Sully and Mike near the room, and Sean was near the open door way in the room.

Randall: Ok..

Randall spins around to hit Readagar with his tail, but he ducked.

Randal: Dang...

Readagar: Missed again....

Sean: A little lower Randall...

Ray turned to Sean and went over to him as Randall was taking a few whacks at Readagar. Ray make sure only Sean could hear him.

Ray: I'm his father you know...

Sean: Just helping...

Ray: I just want you to remember that

Sean:??....

Ray walked back to were he was, shooting his head at Randall for a sec.

Ray: Good work son...

Sean:....

Joy turned to him, overhearing the small message.

Joy: He is...

Sean: Yeah yeah....I know...
Randall stopped, crouching down to catch his breath for a second.

Readagar: Getting better...

Randall: T....true...

Ray went over to Randall as Sean went into the other room.

Joy:....

Randall: Thanks dad...

Ray: For what?

Randall got up.

Randall: For letting Slade teach me how to fight.....

Ray: Oh...yeah...

Sean:...Joy, if they ask where I am, I'm packing up the car...

Sean enters the room with Sully and Mike and Joy heads into the one with Randall and the others.

Sully saw Sean come in and got up.

Sully: Sean...

Sean stopped and turned his face toward him. In a way, to Sully, his glare looked almost like Randall's.

Sean: What?

Sully: Just asking...

Sully: Why....did you help Randall get back to Monstropolis?

Sean straightened his arms as if wanting to punch Sully once more.

Sean: He couldn't live here...

Sean: When I found him, he was almost dead....because of you...

Sean heads out one of the doors leading outside.

Sully:!!!...I knew I shouldn't have asked....

Mike: Seems....like he knows you Sully...

Sully:???

Randall soon entered in their room.

Randall:? Where's Sean?

Sully:...

Mike: Outside...

Randall:????

Randall heads out.

*

Sean at that point was packing some bags into the back of the car. Grass blew a bit from the wind, as did the many trees around the house. The sun was also going down, as known. Randall closed the door and went over to him.

Randall: Hey Sean...

Sean turned his face then back.

Sean: Oh....hi Ran...

Randall sighed for a second but then went over and sat his back against the car, beside Sean.

Randall: So.....how's my dad?

Sean: What?

Randall: I mean how does he...?

Sean: I....like him Randall...

Sean: Like I liked you when we first met face to face....

Sean patted his right hand on Randall's right shoulder.

Sean: Then we became the best of friends

Randall: What do you know....

Randall: I have friends when I thought I was hated..

Randall: And my parents are alive...

Randall: Things are coming together but were in danger...

Sean: Well....crazy things happen...

Randall smiled at that.

Sean closes the car's door.

Sean: Like when Joy kissed you

Randall backed away, returning to his four feet.

Randall: Wha!?

Sean grinned.

Sean: Guess red can become your favorite color....

Sean: (Laughing)

Randall: Err! I'm gonna get you!

Randall chases Sean inside.

*

A couple minutes later, it was time to depart. Sean was in the front seat, in the seat beside him was Ray. Randall, Readagar, and Joy were in the middle. In the back was Sully and Mike. Sean closed his door and looked behind himself so everyone could see him talk.

Sean: Ok, enjoy the sites because when we get to Frederick it will be dark...

Ray: What if we get spotted human?

Sean: Its Sean....
Sean: No one can see in these windows from outside, plus the darkness will help us even more...

Ray:...

Sean started the car, they pulled out, and headed off on a dirt road.

*

Sully and Mike had found some books, reading them and looking out the windows at the same time. Randall had gotten a deck of cars and challenged Readagar to a game, Joy observing the game and helping Randall with choices. As Sean was driving and Ray was looking out the window, he had to ask...

Sean: Rayford...

Ray turned to him.

Ray: Yes...

Sean made sure Randall didn't hear him.

Sean: Why did you leave Randall?

Ray made sure Randall didn't hear him talking as well.
Ray: Well...I...uh...

Ray: I needed to protect him...

Ray: Humans are ruthless...

Sean:.......

Ray: Randall was young at the time...

Ray: It would kill me to see him in the hands of humans that young...

Ray: So....I did it to protect him from humans...

Sean:...Ok

The car stopped at a red light. Sean turned back.

Sean: So who's winning?

Readagar: Me

Randall: Your not cheating are you?

Readagar: Perish the thought...

Joy: Why would he?

Randall: He owns a casino...

Joy:...

Sully: A big one at that...

Mike: I was going to buy Celia a nice red car that day...

Randall starred at him.

Randall: With my money Wazowski!? I think not!

(Laughing)

*

It was now about 8:30pm. Sean and Randall were the only ones awake at that time. Sean could see him still awake.

Sean: Randall, why don't you get some sleep?

Randall:....What's the point? Were going to a hotel or somewhere anyhow...

Sean:.....
Sean: Randall....I'm worried...

Randall's fronds perked up.

Randall: What? Why?

Sean: I was worried about you everyday since you left....

Sean: But now I am because....I...think something's going to happen to you....

Randall:....You too, huh?

Sean: Yeah....

In the back Sully stirred a bit.

Sean: When you went back...

Sean: I thought Sullivan would chuck you through another door.....

Randall: Lucky for him, he didn't even try...

Sean: But who knows what can happen in this situation...

Randall: Well....I have all of you guys and my dad behind me...

Sean looks at Ray.

Sean:...Say, why don't you read some of that diary of yours?

Sean: I mean till we get there...

Randall: Oh yeah....

Randall takes out the book....

*

"After work, Naomi insisted that I take Randall to see Slade, while at the same time trying to know him better. He came known to us when Randall was born....It...actually seemed strange for some reason...

Ray and Randall were at the front of a long flat house near the outskirts of the city. Then the door opened and out came Slade.

Slade: Boggs? And the little one?

Ray: Can we come in?

Randall:...

Slade: Sure...

He moves to let them in, looking outside left to right before he closed the door.

*

As Ray placed Randall down, he looked at the room. He could see Slade had a thing for "Arts". He looked at a case that had some very different looking swords that were unrelated to any human ones, some were human though. The room was vast, it looked like a small Dojo. Slade turned on a T.V., so Randall could watch it, as he did. Slade went over to Ray now that Randall was occupied at the moment.

Slade: Now...what is it?

Ray: I just thought we should get to know each other a little more....

Ray: You, me....and Randall too...

Slade looked back seeing the little lizard was looking at some of the pictures on the wall.

Slade: What? You want me to teach him?

Ray: Yes...but I want to get to know y...

Slade: Alright....I'll tell you a few things...

*

Slade and Ray were sitting in chairs behind the small couch that Randall was watching T.V. on.
Slade: I was once a scarer like you dear boy...

Ray: Oh really?

Slade: Yes...But soon I let others take my place, scareing got boring for me...

Slade: But I got curious about a subject...

Slade: So I spent some of my young years in the human world, learning about hum...

Ray:....

Slade: Oh...

Slade: Might I ask....Why do you hate humans....?

Ray: I didn't always hate them....but....

He looked at Randall then back at Slade.

Ray: It was about a week before Randall was born...

Ray: I was working on my first project for a mech. company....

Ray: It was an enhancer for monsters...

Ray: The device was to increase a monsters attributes....

Ray: Making them faster, stronger, and braver...

Ray: It was a break through....

Ray: Then....it happen...

Slade:....

Ray: One of the employees had been operating on an M.I. door....

Ray: Unfortunately....A human burst through the door....

Ray: I didn't have time to do anything...

Ray: It ran into the dome which the solution of the enhancer was being tested....

Ray: All I could remember was that the human disappeared before anyone could see him...

Ray: My projected was shut down, nothing went to the public...

Ray: I almost got fired....maybe even banished....

Slade:...Well

He got up an went near Randall.

Slade: I guess that's all we can tell each other....

Ray got up and went over to him.

Ray: I guess so...

Slade: Sure....I'll teach shorty here....

Randall's fronds perked up, so did his head, at the sound of someone calling him shorty.

Randall: Hey!

Slade: (Chuckle)

Randall: That is not funny uncle Slack!

Slade: Its Slade Randall....

Randall: Uncle Slade!

Ray: Well...guess were done...

He picked up Randall.

Ray: See you again Slade...

Slade: Dido...

Ray and Slade shook there bottom left, Slade's bottom right, hands.

*
Present

Randall:....

Sean: Were there...

Sean pulled into a small distant hotel and when everyone awoke, Randall, Readagar, and Ray used there skill to make Mike and Sully invisible as well...

*

Ray and Randall sat up the beds in there room, as did Sully and Mike in there's. Readagar, Sean, and Joy had separate rooms.

Randall: Dad...

Ray: Yeah son...

Randall: Why did you leave me with un...Slade?

Ray:...

Randall: You hardly knew him....

Ray: Randall....He asked me if he could protect you..

Randall: He...did?

Ray: Yeah...so...I trusted him..

Ray: I'm...Sorry if I worried you...

Randall: I know..

Randall climbed into his bed and fell asleep, his face turned away.

Ray:.......

*

Sean had entered Joy's room, placing her bag on the ground.

Joy: I'm so happy Randall kept his promise....

Sean:...

Joy: I wish I could stay with him...

Sean: Maybe...

Joy:??/

Sean: But first we need to help him...

Joy: Wonder what the future holds for all of us...

Sean: When this is over I know I'll be...

Joy:...???

Sean: Never mind...

Sean heads out.

Joy:????

*

Sully:..

Mike: You think Lizard boy's pop is...

Sully: Nice?....He is...but not to us...

Mike: He seems to...umm...you know...

Sully: Really? Seems like that...

Mike: He's still creepy

Mike: But I'm feeling a little uncomfortable..

Mike: Were in more danger then they are!

Sully: Mike...

Mike: Sul....Readagar, friend of Randall, Randall's dad, 2 of his human friends...

Mike: And Randall himself!

Sully: Uh....Mike...

Mike:!!!

Mike turned to the doorway seeing Sean....

Sean:....

Mike:!!!

Sean: Now that were alone...I need to ask you...

He directed his attention to Sully.

Sean: Why did you banish Randall?

Sully: I...eh...

Sean: You know you could have killed him!?

Sully: But he tried to kidnap...!

Sean: Doesn't matter....

Sean: The only good thing is he survived and he met me....

Sully:...

Sean: I want you to remember this Sullivan, about this Banishment...

Sully:...

Sean: Just because its a law...doesn't mean its right...

Sean left saying those final words.

Mike:....Sully?

Sully: He's right...

Mike: What?

Sully: The law isn't right...

Sully: When we get back....We need to ask the B.O.D about it...

Mike: But Sully! If we put Randall back here he can....!

Sully: Mike....I told you I am not doing it again...

Mike:....

*

Randolph: AHH!

Randolph was still on the table, his whole body sweating in pain.

The one human came over.

????: Find out!?

Scientist: No sir...

Scientist2: Sir, I don't think it could take another one..

????: Hmph...

Voice: Let it rest.....We could bargain with it...

???? turned to a shadowed part of the room.

????: Bargain?

Voice: Let them get the keys....and we trade...

???? turned at Randolph, still breathing heavily.

????: Err...take it back to the other one...

One scientist came over with a needle gun and stuck it in Randolph's neck.

Randolph: Ergh!

The liquid was injected into him, in a couple of seconds, his limbs became paralyzed. Another Scientist placed a mussel on his face. Then the Scientist's un-strapped him and moved the motionless lizard out.

????: You sure about this?

Coming out from the shadows was a purple 3 fingered hand. Suction cups at the tip of its fingers, and scales allover it. It looked like Randall's hand.

Voice: Of course I am....

*

(SSSHHH)

Naomi:!!!!

Randolph was hurled in, caught by Naomi, and the door closed right after.

Naomi: Son!

She crouched down and took the mussel off.

Randolph: (Coughing)

Naomi: You alright!?

Randolph: They....treat....us....like...animals mom...

Naomi: We'll get out of here...

She placed the top part of his body in her hands.

Naomi: Your father or Slade will find us...

Randolph: Possibly.....Randall...

Naomi:...Let me get you back on your feet....

What will happen next?

Will Naomi and Randolph be saved?

Will the humans find the others?

And who does this Randall's like arm belong to?
