Chapter 10/11/Whatever Randall's Ponderings

This is a short little sad chappie told through Randall's POV. This is the chapter where we'll learn a bit about Randall's past, and it's pretty familiar to someone else's..I would suggest reading chapter five again before you read this, because there are a ton of references of that chapter in this chapter. One more chapter after this one!!!!



It was dark in the cell. Really dark. Not to say I don't like the dark. When you're the second best scarer, you practically live in the dark. But the bad thing about dark this time, was that I probably wouldn't see light for another 20 years, maybe more. I was in prison. Yay.

I was pretty pi-I mean, mad at this point. Wazowski and Sullivan. Just the mention of their names made me wanna kick something. And that kid, Boo, or Michelle, or whatever her name is, she made me pretty mad. But the only thing about her is that I can really relate to her past.

My parents, I don't really remember. They abandoned me on a doorstep when I was, like, three. I dunno if they loved me and couldn't afford me, or if they were just sick of me, or what. I lived in an orphanage till I was 6 or 7, unlike her, but then I was put into a home with really abusive foster parents, just like that Michelle person. I was all camouflaged when Michelle was telling all this to Sullivan, and I wondered if some parallel universe or something connected her and me, because my foster parents were Harry and Anne-Mary. So anyway, some girl found out how abusive they were, and told her dad, who arrested Harry and Anne-Mary. And I was introduced to this girl. We played together, and she visited me everyday at the orphanage. And we got closer, and closer, and as soon as we had graduated, we got engaged.

'Course, something had to go wrong, what with my miserable luck, and something did. I found out this girl, Nikki, was a stripper at this club, and she had met this other monster, and he had, uh, gotten her, erm, pregnant. Sucks, huh?

So, as soon as I found out, I chucked the mooing ring she gave me down the freaking toilet, and threw myself into a really big depression. I kinda immunized myself to love. Wait, that's a little melodramatic. I guess, I just decided that love wasn't for me. It wouldn't work for me. Like I said, I was really depressed. I actually considered throwing myself off a cliff a few times. But there was this monster who really guided me through. That was Waternoose, the CEO of MI back when we scared kids. But with Sullivan as CEO..who knows what he did to the place. Anyway, when Waternoose told me about how MI was going under, I decided to help him. I built this machine with Fungus, and then Sullivan, Wazowski, and the kid came in, and you know the rest.

But the biggest reason why I'm not that mad at the Michelle kid, is because of what she did in the door vault. She was going to give up her life for Sullivan, and so was Wazowski. And then I realized something.

This was love. This is what I was missing. And now I think, no, I know, that I need to find out what it feels like. Love.

But how do I do that?
