Chapter Two
A hippo-like monster met Sulley and Mike as they came into the Main Hall.
"Hi Sulley," She said "Do you want biscuits with your coffee today? Because you've been on and off for a while"
"Sulley is this your girlfriend?" Mike asked teasingly
"No" Sulley blushed "She's my personal secretary"
He turned to the hippo-monster.
"Erm, not today Dinah, I'm working on the laugh floor, but thanks for asking!" Sulley smiled, backing away and continuing towards the laugh floor.
"Will you be quiet?" He hissed to Mike "It's my first time at this sort of thing"
"Yeah, sorry I guess" Mike apologised "It's hard to picture you with a girlfriend"
"Well it would for you!" Sulley replied "But there comes a time in every monsters life where he needs. a different kind of company"
"Right." Mike said slowly
"I mean, I doubt Celia came onto you at first sight." Said Sulley
Mike raised his eyebrow.
"Oh nevermind."
Mike and Sulley waved to Celia before entering the locker room. Mike opened his locker and retrieved a box of dental floss.
"Hey, why don't we double-date tonight?" Mike asked his furry friend "Me and Celia, and you and Dinah"
"Oh I don't know Mike, I haven't even known her long" Sulley sighed, "She doesn't even know I care"
"Boooooring" Mike droned "You gotta speed it up Sulley! Ask her tonight"
"But Mike."
"Hey, Buddy" Mike Assured "I wouldn't tell you to do anything that I haven't tried on Celia first"
Sulley groaned "Oh all right. But just as friends" He reached into his locker and got his deodorant.
Mike looked over "Hey have you got any of the new ones?"
"Uh- Moldy cheese, toxic waste . and, uh . sulpher fumes"
"Ah, so you've got the new sulpher, Mr Lova lova?"
"Shut up!" Sulley groaned
They closed their locker and walked onto the laugh floor
"Speed it up guys," Said Eric as they came in "There IS a laugh shortage"
"Why does everyone keep reminding me?" Mike muttered to himself.
The two monsters got to their station.
"You all set Mike?" Sulley asked his one-eyed chum.
"Um, jokes, erm, let's see, a man walks into a bar.ouch!"
"That's an old one!" Sulley sighed "You got any new material?"
"Noo!" Mike groaned, "I've been so busy lately! Susie kept me up last night and I couldn't think of any! What am I gonna do? I'll be booed offstage; I'm ruined! I'll never entertain again!"
"Mike."
Mike continued, "Every room I'll go in, they'll just laugh in my face! I'll have a loser reputation!"
"Mike."
Mike continued still "And they'll talk about me at school, saying 'Which monster did you get last night?' 'Oh I got the stupid one-eyed one again!'"
"Mike."
Mike spun around "WHAT?" He blurted out.
"I think you're forgetting something," Sulley said
"I know! I've got a memory of a goldfish!" Mike wailed
"No!" Sulley laughed, "You're forgetting that I'm the boss"
Mike finally got what Sulley said. "Yes" He said, "You are aren't you? You'll let me off won't you? That is what you're saying isn't it? You're not planning to fire me?"
"Mike, as far as I'm concerned. You'll be working here till you're one hundred and two. Now sike yourself up and go in there for the best 'unscripted' performance of your life!"
"Yeah!" Cried Mike
Their required door came down and attached itself to their station.
"Go get 'em tiger" Sulley whispered.
"We're on in five" Called Eric "four-three-two-one! Entertain!"
Everyone opened their door and went in, where as Mike clawed at the door and zoomed straight in growling. However, when he got through, a different expression came across his face, immediately.
For a start, it was quiet. There was no one there. But the first thing he noticed was the room he was in. It was a palace and huge in size! Everywhere he looked it was gold! Gold, shining in the sun, which was the second thing, he noticed.
"It's day time," He murmured.
The third thing he noticed was what he could hear. There was laughter everywhere. Golden laughter. Laughter that could solve all the problems at Monsters Inc. The idea hit him.
Back at Monsters Inc, Eric hammered his fist on the door.
"Wazowski!" He yelled, "Everyone's finished work and you haven't even left the room yet! Open up!"
"Maybe he's saving all his laughs up for when he comes out," Sulley suggested.
"Maybe he's not going to come out Sulley!" Eric snapped "I've heard about Monsters that like the room that they're in so much, they don't want to leave! They become obsessed with them and vice versa! Humans keep them as pets, and before they know it, BAM! They're chained up in the back yard"
Suddenly, the light above the door lit up.
"He's coming out!" Cried Sulley
He was right; Mike was coming out. With 50 canisters full of laughter.
