Whoa! Sorry to take so long guy's. School is getting hard with its new terms and all. But anyhow, this chapter takes a turning point in the story...a very...unexpected one.
Chapter 14 Uneasy
For hours it seemed that Sean and Joy had waited for anyone's return, and were now starting to get worried. Sean was walking back and forth with a worried mood on his face that Randall, or the others, may have been sent to jail or something. Joy was watching out the window to see if any of them were coming. By now, dawn had already passed, leaving morning to take its place.
Sean:..........
Joy:....I wonder....
Joy: I wonder if Randy will take us out to see this place....
Sean stopped, a little chuckle came from him, showing that he was indeed waiting for her to say something like that.
Sean: (Chuckle) Maybe.....if they get the approval...
Joy: Yeah....I wonder what its like to live with monsters....
Sean: They still think kids are toxic....
Sean: Even if some know were not....they could still label us as dangerous...
Joy: (Sigh)..
She turned her attention back outside.
Joy: I wish that didn't...huh!?
Sean: What?
Joy: Here comes Randall!
Sean: (Phew....they all are safe....)
Sean: I wonder if they got it straight....
A minute later, Randall had come in, hanging his coat on the rack beside the entrance doorway.
Sean: So....how'd it go Ran?
Randall: (Sigh)
Both:!!!!!
Randall turned his face to them, that grin of his on his face.
Randall: We showed those five a thing or two!
Sean: Ha ho!
Joy: So what'd you say?
Randall: Well, my dad showed them a thing or two about....well...me...
Sean: (That B.O.D. always has to blame somebody...)
Randall:...I gave them the key, and...well...
Sean: What?
Randall: You guy's didn't check the news?
Joy: No, why?
Randall moved his hands to his sides.
Randall: They made a statement on you two....
Joy: What?
Sean: Randall....what did you say?
Randall: I just wanted a favor....
Randall went over to the window.
Randall:....They made a statement on the news about humans being in Monstropolis..
Randall: They....well...they agreed that you two can be here...
Joy: Really!?
Sean crossed his arms.
Sean: Everyone's pretty alarmed aren't they?
Randall: Of course they are....
Randall: But hey....they would expect that kind of thing from me....
Joy:....Randall...
Joy went over to him, placing her right hand on his back, making Randall look up at here.
Joy: The way I see it....there is nothing you've done that is wrong.....
Randall:......
Joy: Come on, think positive...
Joy: Everything will turn out fine...
Sean: ( Even when it seems impossible....)
Joy: Even when it seems impossible....
Sean:!!!???
Joy: You can still turn around...
Randall stood back up after that. He knew monsters thought he was a, somewhat, criminal, he knew his friends would stand behind him in any situation.
Randall: Thanks guy's....
Joy: No prob Randall.....
Randall: Yeah....
Sean:...So...What did they do?
Randall switched back to his normal attitude.
Randall: Those five lug nuts made the statement on the news...
Sean: Should the C.D.A. be trying to get us!?
Randall gave a small downward smirk realizing that C.D.A number 1 was actually that paper lover Roz.
Randall: Number (Chuckle) 1....has issued the C.D.A. not to arrest you...
Joy: What about the mo....
Randall: Those idiots out there will most likely annoy us.....
Joy: Phew....
Sean:....Say...where is everyone anyhow?
Randall: Sullivan and Wazowski are at M.I.....
Randall: Readagar and my dad are still at City Hall...
Sean: Hmm...
Joy: So.....does this mean....we can see the city?
Randall:...They....said I have to accompany you....
Sean: Why?
Randall folded his arms.
Randall: Because if something goes wrong....they can easily arrest me...
Sean: Ran...
Randall:....
Joy: Come on...
Randall:....
(Gurgle)
Randall placed his bottom hands on his stomach.
Randall: I knew those court-men stood me up too long....
Sean: Hmm...maybe we can start out by getting something to eat....
Joy: Might get the public thinking we aren't dangerous....
Randall: I hope so...
Sean slapped his hands together and rubbed them together.
Sean: So...who's paying?
Joy:......
Randall:....Ok...fine I will....
*
They came to the exit door, all stopping.
Joy: I'm not so sure about this Randall....
Sean:.....
Randall: If anyone say's anything....I'll handle them...
Joy:....
*
The group headed out, no one seeing them at first. Sean and Joy followed Randall. Soon as they started, monsters of all shapes, sizes, and forms were seen. Each on was giving them weird looks, and even starring. One that was close was starring a Joy and Sean, Randall stopped and confronted him.
Randall: What are you looking at!?
Monster:!!! Nothing!
The monster left, a little at a running pace as the group continued. Joy was fascinated by the new world. She could see different buildings, street lamps, car's, and monsters of all kinds. She turned to Sean and noticed that he was only looking at Randall, not concentrating on looking at the new world.
Joy:????
Joy:...Sean?
Sean: Hmm?
Joy: Why aren't you taking a look around?
Sean: Hmph....nothing that new...
Joy: What do you mean?
Joy kept her voice low as Randall couldn't hear them.
Joy: This place wasn't in the movie....
Sean: Well....I've been here before....
Joy: What? You never...
Sean: Maybe we should talk about this later...
Joy:....Well...
She turned to Randall, then back.
Joy:...Ok
They continued as Randall continued to snap at anyone giving them strange looks and motions. Randall had led them to a diner which was fairly close to M.I. Randall stopped near the entrance looking at the sign on the diner.
Randall: After that....incident....I stopped coming here..
Randall: I used to come here at 12:00 if I needed to be away from others...
Sean crossed his arms, a serious look that equaled Randall's.
Sean: Solitude...
Randall snapped out of his serious face.
Randall: What?
Sean shook his head.
Sean: Nothing..
Joy:???....(Guys...)
They headed in, Randall first.
*
When they came in, there were a few monsters in the small diner. All of them gave hesitated looks, Randall was a little hesitated by all the faces himself, but was more angered by how his friends seemed "different".
Randall: What!? Never seen a human before?!
Monsters:!!!!???
The diner itself looked like a 60's one, with its cushioned chairs and record players. Sean and Joy sat at a table away from everyone as Randall warned the monsters who were starring. Soon he came over, he slid into the small space between the chair and the table. He sat his back against the cushioned chair, using his feet and bottom set of hands to keep him up onto the chair straight, like he did every time he got into a seat. Of course it didn't hurt him at all.
Joy: Hmm....
Joy and Sean picked up the menus that were on the table, Randall not picking up his, already knowing what he was going to order...Joy starred at the selections:
1. Blurgal Soup
2. Kraken Tentacle
3. Sweeze Croissant
4. Moogal Beef Sandwich
Joy couldn't look at another thing, not knowing what could possibly be in them.
Joy: I....think I'll pass...
Randall call's over a "waiter". One then comes over, hesitatingly.
Waiter: M-M-May....I...T-T-take Y-Your order?
Randall saw he was hesitating, seeing his glasses gutter his eyes. He saw the same thing with Fungus and knew how to handle it.
Randall: Shake like that again....and you'll feel it for the rest of your life...
Waiter:!!!
Randall: Now...are you gonna take those orders like a nice....little...waiter?
Waiter: Y-Yes sir....
Randall: Good...
Randall: One Beef Sandwich...and....you guys?
Joy: I'll...just have water....
Sean: I'll take the same as Randall..
Randall:!!!???
Sean looked at his order.
Sean: Topped with Prekan cheese, and a Coak-Cola...
Joy:??????
The waiter unsteadily jots down the order and leaves to get it. Randall looked at Sean, but not as weirdly as Joy was.
Randall: Were you here when you followed me or something?
Sean: Nope...
Joy: You don't know what you ordered!?
Sean: Believe me...I've had weirder things...
Sean: Besides, got to learn how to live in this world...
Randall:???
Sean: Guy's....hello?
The other two shake the thoughts out.
Sean:...Anyhow...its strange ya know...
Joy: How...so?
Sean: No word about those guy's yet.....nothing..
Randall: Yes...something's up...
Randall: Like its right under our noses....
Joy: ( I wonder how Randall sneezed....I wonder how you do it with your tongue....)
Sean: Maybe.....
Soon, the waiter came over, placed the plates down, and ran back into the kitchen.
Randall: Err...I'll handle him later...
Joy looked at what the guy's had gotten. The bread looked like any other kid in the human world, but the condiments looked strange. It looked like red and green roast beef, but it seemed to be still moving, and squeaking a bit. Randall consumed the thing in one bit, then turned to the window to his left.
Joy: Your not actually going to?
Sean: What?
(Chomp!)
Joy:!!!???
He took a mouth sized bit out of the sandwich, causing it to squeak a little. Sean swallowed it.
Sean:....Hmm...not bad...
Joy:!!!!!
Randall turned to Joy, seeing here a little....well...
Randall: What about you Joy?
Joy: I'll....pass at eating here Randy...
Sean: Missing out...
Randall turned back to the window. What he was actually looking at, was Monsters Inc. in the distance.
Randall: Maybe we should check the company....
Joy: We....we allowed in?
Randall: With me?...Yeah
Sean dropped a napkin that was in his hand.
Sean: Ok lets go...
*
After a few strange looks from different monsters, the three stopped at the company's entrance. Randall starred at the new company motto "Monsters Inc. Laughing Up A Storm For You". After reading that, an old hurt touched Randall.
Randall: You know....I'm the only official scarer left...
Joy:....
Sean placed a hand on Randall's right shoulder, looking at his face.
Sean: You know, I liked the first one better....
Randall:???
*
When the group entered, various monsters were looking at them, the ones outside looking at Sean and Joy, the ones inside looking at Randall.
Randall:???....What?!
The other monsters continued what they were doing. By that, Celia noticed Randall. When Mike had come over to see her at her house before heading to Monsters Inc., he told her everything. Knowing, Celia got out of her booth and went over to them, as Sean and Joy observed the room, Sean never really....being in this room.
Celia: Randall? Your early....
Randall: What's with everyone?
Celia: Still a little touchy about y....
Randall looked at her, knowing what she was going to say.
Celia:...They're just nervous....nothing like this has ever happened before....
Celia: There not...use to it...
Randall could understand that.
Randall: Sheeesh...fine
Celia:....Oh! Sully needs to see you, he was calling you but you didn't pick up...
Randall: What's it this time?
Celia: I don't know....he didn't tell me...
Randall:...
*
The three were outside the door to the CEO office.
Randall: Ok....I want you guy's top to stay here...
Sean: If you need help with a jab or a kick with Sullivan....
Randall: I'll keep that in mind...
Joy: Ok...we'll wait for you...
Randall gives a smirk and heads in alone.
*
Sully was sitting on his chair behind the desk as Randall sat in a chair in front of him, crossing his first set of feet.
Randall: So...what is it this time pillow filling?
Sully: Randall...
Sully: You shouldn't talk about monsters that way..
Randall: (Frustrated sign) Lets just get to the point!
Sully:....(Sigh)...When I came back...
Sully: Jerry told me something weird was going on at night time since we were away...
Randall: So...that idiot probably concentrated on trying to count to fourteen...
Sully:....Anyhow...you think you can work the late shift?
Randall:!! And leave me here!?
Randall got up.
Randall: Listen Sullivan! Way too many things have happened to me in this company!
Randall: And now you tell me to be here at night!?
Randall: With those guy's waiting to snatch me up!?
Randall: No way!
Randall turned his back to him, crossing both sets of arms.
Sully:...Alright...I'll be there...
Sully:....Listen....we need to find out what's going on...
Sully: We can't let anyone else get hurt by something we overlooked...
Randall:....Well...maybe...I should bring Sean and Joy...
Sully: No...we can't...
Randall: What!? Why!?
He turned.
Randall: Why not!?
Sully: If something happens to us, they can get us out....
Randall:....Well...I guess that works...
Randall:...After all we've been though....
Randall:...I guess if it will stop you from bugging me...
Randall: Fine I'll do it...I guess....I...can...t...t....trust....you....
Randall pointed at Sully.
Randall: But this is the only thin I'm doing for you!
Randall head's out.
Sully moved to the back of his desk, placing his hands together.
Sully: (Laughing)
*
Randall: Well...I need to work late tonight...
Joy: Where are we to stay?
Randall: Well...Readagar and my dad would be at my apartment...so
Sean: You sure you don't want us to come?
Randall:...
Joy: We'll be fine Randall
Sean:????
Randall: Sean?
Sean: Well....Ok....
*
Randall took Joy and Sean to his apartment where Rayford and Readagar was. Randall explained the situation to his dad, and was allowed to go. Randall was now trailing the empty night-time of Monsters.
Inc.
Randall:...
Randall figured scareing was in order. It would keep him up, and make up for his lost score. He entered Scare Floor F, seeing Sully.
Randall: Sullivan....here like you said....surprising..
Sully: Really?
Randall: Yes...
Randall: So...where's this weird....you know...
Sully: Whatever it is....I think it will come as it gets later....maybe if it hears screams...
Randall: Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Randall saw some cards on his desk and picked up the top one.
Randall: Might as well do something other than wasting my time...
Randall:...Lets get this over with...
Sully: ( Oh...we...will)
Randall slip the card though and inputs the code. Not a second later, a single door came in, clamping itself into the station.
Randall: Hmm...
It was a metal door with a glass type frame.
Randall: What kind of a door is this!?
Sully: Maybe its outside the bedroom....
Randall: Hmph...well...can you at least attach the canister?
Sully: Sure...
Sully grabs one of the canisters, the old scarer kind, and attaches it to the door.
Sully: Ok...
Randall: Good....
Randall slowly heads to he door, feeling a little pain in his neck, and opens the door and heads in.
Randall:!!!!!!!!! What!?
It wasn't a room at all. It....was a lab. Equipment, needles, darts, test tubes,....and scientists.
Randall:!!!!
The scientists head toward him, slowly....
Randall: Sullivan!
He run's back to the door and opens it. He got it opened, but stopped....
Randal:!!!!!!!!
Sullivan had a dart gun pointed to his head.
Randall:!! Sullivan! You traitor! I knew you hated me!
Randall: But I never expected you to kill me! I knew I couldn't....!
(Thunk!)
Randall stood there....then fell to the ground, his head spinning. The dart itself was in his neck. Suddenly his vision got blurry, his limbs unable to move, his body becoming useless, but...he could still hear faint voices....
Sullies voice: Take him to the blue room, I'll speak with him alone...
The last thing Randall could clearly see, was Sully looking down at him with a grin....Randall's grin...
Sully: Goodnight Randall....
Randall passed out...........
What! Sully a traitor!? Turning Randall in!? And what will the others do!? You'll see...hehehe!
