Chapter 2 Training
When the days shift was over, Switch was waiting at his station. Mike had already left to go home, as Sully came. Switch had told him to come before he began scarer this morning. Switch set up doors in his station and the one beside his.
Switch: You can have that one, Groil's not a pro scarer like me...
Sully: Ok...(Yawn)...what's first?
Switch: What's first is this...
Sully was instructed to go into the door. He went over and hesitated with the knob....
Switch: Hurry up!
Sully quickly went in and closed the door.
Switch:...
Switch locked it.
Sully:....(AHH!)
He was in a room with many sleeping kids, a daycare, He rushed to the door and tried to open it.
Sully: Let me out!
Switch was trying to freak him out with his fear of kids. Sully then started to get less and less.....afraid....He seemed to be resisting his fear.
Switch:!!!!
Sully could see how the kids weren't all that frightful at all....
Sully:....
Switch: Err!
He opens the door and pulls Sully back in.
Switch: Enough....
Sully: But I was just feeling...
Switch: Yeah yeah....wait a sec...
He slithers in.
(Screams!)
He came out and closed the door. And placed a new door in the slot.
Sully: You...scared a whole group!?
Switch: Nothing should go to waste on my skills....
Switch: Take a scare when you can get it...
Sully: I...think I'm a little ok...What's next?
Switch folded his arms and looked at him.
Switch: Presence....
He went over to the door in his own station.
Switch: Entering the door is art as well...
Switch: Of course I am the best at that as well....
Sully:???
Switch: Observe...
He place his top right hand on the doors knob, then turned to him.
Switch: You may learn something....watch through the keyhole..
He attached himself to the top right part of the door and slithered in closing the door with his tail, Sully went up to the door as he went in. As told he looked through the keyhole. He could see Randall on the ceiling. Then he moved over to the right wall, then to the floor, then under the bed, Randall's green eyes looked up as if knowing that the kid was fast asleep. He then went out and stood on all fours. Sully turned not wanting to take a scarers own scare method.
(Scream!)
No sooner had he scared, Switch came out.
Sully: Um...nice scare...Switch: No compliments....
(Ring!)
Randall: Ehh...
He went over to his station and picked up a high quality cell phone that was laying on the table.
Randall: What do you want!?
Mike: Switch? Where's Sully?
Switch: With me...
Mike: Its been an hour! I thought this was a day by day...
Randall: Can it!
Randall closes the speaker section disconnecting the other line.
Switch: Where were we...uh yes....
Switch: Will just do a little of everything today...
Switch: Next is technique....
Sully: Technique?
Switch: How you scare!
Switch: Show me yours....
Sully: Um...ok..
He held back his arms and roared at Randall. Randall just stood there, a board look on his face. When Sully stopped, Randall placed his top right hand to the right side of his face holding it with his left bottom arm (Like he did when he was tricking Mike in the movie except less sneaky.
Randall: That...was terrible...
Sully: ??? Really?
Switch: Yes, you might as well try scareing those "pets"
Sully:....
Switch: I don't know why I'm wasting my time with you...
Switch turned and headed toward the exit.
Switch: ( 3...2...1...)
Sully: Wait!
Switch did that sneaky smile of his, then placed back on a frustrating face when he turned to Sully.
Sully: Please Randall!
Randall: I don't know...your kind of useless....
Sully: Please, teach me how to scare and I won't bother you anymore with it....
Randall: Well....fine...
Switch: But, we'll start tomorrow at 10:00
Sully: 10:00, but....
Switch: See you tomorrow...
He leaves.
Sully:...
*
The next day, Switch arrived before his assistant or Sully. He went over to the Scare Floor as everyone else was getting ready for the session. He waited at his table, tapping his three fingered hand, until he spotted the two coming in from where they usually do.
Switch: Finally...
He went over to them.
Mike: Sul, you ok?
Sully: (Yawn) Y...Yeah I'm fine...
Switch: Oh Wazowski....
Mike: Great...
He came over to them. Switch looked around for a second to notice if anyone was near them, no one was.
Switch: You ready for tonight?
Sully: Y....Yeah...
Switch: ( Good...)
He turned.
Switch: See you tonight....Come on Wazowski
Mike: Ok...Sully, don't over work yourself....
Switch butted in.
Switch: Nonsense, come on!
The two each go to there work stations.
*
Sully was tightening a bolt on one of the pipes with a wrench when another employee came around and stopped pushing a cat full of canisters.
Monster: Hey Sully, you don't look so good...
Sully: I was just, up late last night...
Monster: Maybe you should rest on break....
Sully: No, no...I'm fine....
Monster: Suits yourself...
He passes Sully.
Sully:....
*
It was late again the end of the day. Switch and Wazowski were a couple minutes late for leaving. Switch sent away the door himself then looked at Mike.
Switch: You get those doors I asked for?
Mike: Yes....sir...
He gave him some cards.
Mike: Can I go now?
Switch looked over the cards.
Switch: Yes, yes..
Mike goes off but, when Switch was waiting for a door, he went behind some boxes to watch what Switch and Sully were going top do.
Mike:....
Sully soon came over from the hall.
Switch: You alive there?
Sully: Y...Yeah...
Switch: Ok...Lets look at your presence....
He folded his arms and observed. As Sully talked he acted it out.
Sully: I was thinking I would come in, then....
Switch: You can't hide under the bed...
Sully:??? What if I charge in?
Switch: May work...
Mike: (That's dangerous!)
Switch: Well...do that later...
Switch: Now, Skills...
Sully: Skills....
Switch: Do you have any special skills Sullivan?
Sully: Well....I'm strong...
Switch:....Useless...
Sully:...
Switch: Of course (Chuckle), no one can beat my skill...
Switch vanishes.
Sully: Randall!?
He appears behind him.
Switch: RRRAAAAGGGGHHHH!
Sully: AHH!
He jumped back.
Switch: (Chuckle)
Sully: How, how did you do that!?
Switch: Its my gift....
Sully:....
Switch: Anyhow...
Switch: Lets skip ahead, your skill is useless in scareing...
Switch: Now...You'll actually scare a 5 year old...
Sully: 5?
Switch: Yes, although I can handle 8's myself.....even older...
He went over and activated the door.
Sully:....
Switch: Now...how will you scare him?
Sully: I think I have it...
Switch: You....do?
Sully: I think I would crouch down in front of the bed, make a noise
Sully: Then jump up and scare the kid....
Switch:....Ehh, good enough....
Switch: Test it..
Sully slowly moves to the door, Switch observing him and the door. Then Sullies fear of kids came back to him.
Sully:...
Switch: (Good....Good...)
Sully placed his hand on the knob, feeling dizzy for a second.
Sully:...(Gulp)...
He went in and closed the door. Switch didn't lock it this time, he looked through the keyhole.
*
Sully slowly crouched down and moved to the end of the bed .
(Squeak)
Sully:!!!!
He accidentally stepped on a small rubber duck.
Kid: Ehh....ZZZZ
Sully: Phew...
He slowly moved up to his normal height. Sullies fear lowered. He knew this kid was little and not that fearful, and that Switch hadn't locked the door on him.
*
Switch at that point was looking at the scream canister.
Switch:....
Switch: (He can't do it!)
Mike: (Come on Sully!)
Switch: (Your too weak minded!)
(..........)
Mike: (!!!!!)
Switch: ( Ha!....)
(.......Scream!)
Switch:!!!!!
Mike:!!!!!
Switch looked to see the canister didn't fill.
Switch: (Ha! He was scared!)
Next thing he knew, Sully came out shutting the door quickly, breathing fast. Switch fell on his back laughing as hard as he could.
Switch: (Laughing!)
Sully: What's....what's so funny!?
Switch jumped up.
Switch: (Still laughing) The kid scared you!
Switch: (Laughing still) Your scared of those things!?
Sully: Aren't you!?
Switch: Your speaking to the top scarer here!
Switch: Your better off forgetting that dream of yours Sullivan
Sully:....
Switch: (I'd knew he would give....)
Sully: No...
Switch:!!!!???
Sully: I'll do whatever it takes to be a scarer..
Mike: (Jeez...Sully is really determined...)
Switch: (Well....I can go with plan B and get him so ragged he'll get fired...)
Switch: Wow...determined aren't you....
Switch: Ok....lets try (Little laugh) again....
Switch sends for another door. Sully, again hesitated, entered.
Switch didn't even look, he just stood there laughing away.
Switch: (Laughing)
(......Scream!)
Switch turned to the canister.
Switch: (Laughing)
Switch: (Less laughing)
Switch: Wha...what!?
The canister filled a quarter of the way.
Switch: I-I-Impossible!!!
Mike: (He did it!!!!)
Switch: (That canister pushing weakling scared a kid!!!!!)
Sully came out, shutting the door again like he did last time.
Sully: How did I do?
Switch just stared at the canister.
Sully:???....!!!!
He looked at it.
Sully: I scared a kid!
Sully: I actually scared it!
Switch: It must be faulty!
He checked it but noticed no problems, and Sully already knew how canisters work, as did Switch.
Switch: Yeah! Well....we got allot more to cover!
Switch: I mean your not fully...ehh!
Mike:????
Sully hugged him.
Sully: Thank you Switch! Because of you I'm a...!
Switch: Get off me!!!!
He lets go of him.
Switch: Don't ever do that again!
Sully: Well, you made me a scarer!
Switch: Your a trainee!
Switch: Lets get this day over with!
Switch taught Sully a few other, seeming to be useless things about scareing. Sully was tired out when they were done. When it was 11:00.....
Switch: Ok...go home..
Sully: What are you going to do?
Switch: Top Scarer things....
Sully: Well....ok....
Mike:!!!
Switch: Wait a minute...Don't move
Sully:????
He didn't. Sully could notice Switch's fronds and the stripe down his back go red.
Switch: Who...else is here....!?
Mike:!!!!
Sully: Just me.....?
Switch: Hmm...Guess it is...
Switch's fronds and stripe returned to normal.
Switch: Maybe a mouse...
Switch: Oh Sullivan...
Sully: Yeah?
Switch: Don't tell anyone I'm training you....
Sully:????
Switch: If anyone finds out I'm training a pipe worker then...
Sully: I wont tell anyone...
Switch slithered up to him.
Switch: It will bee our, little, secret...alright...
Switched nodded and Sully nodded with him.
Sully:...Ok...
Switch headed back to the doors as Sully was leaving through the back exit. Mike follows Sully out.
Switch: Huh?
He turned, no one was there.
Switch:....
*
Sully was heading to his apartment when Mike ran up to him.
Mike: Sully!
Sully: Mike!?
Mike: You staying with Switch to scare?
Sully: Yeah, he's a great teacher at it...
Mike: Sully!...This thing is running you ragged!
Mike: I'm surprised you haven't collapsed yet!
Sully: Mike....its my dream....
Mike: But Sully...
Sully: I....got to go..
Sully run's off.
Mike: Sul....Oh...fine!
Mike stomps to his apartment.
*
Mike opens the door and turns on the lights.
(BOO!)
Mike: Ahh!
Switch was right in front of him when he entered.
Switch: Welcome home...
Of course for M.I. scarers, it was said that for scarers and there assistants were to live together. This made a relationship for the scarer and assistant because they were, assumed, to work together in M.I. for years.
Mike: How'd you get here so fast?!
Switch: Remember, I'm the fast one shorty...
He headed to his room.
Mike: Shorty!
Switch: (Laughing)
Mike: Err!
Switch stopped.
Switch: So what did you see?
Mike: See? See what?
Switch: Remember lies don't get pass me....
Switch: I know you were watching us...
Mike gave up knowing he couldn't trick him.
Mike: Oh...fine I saw everything....
Switch: Good boy...
Mike: Why are you doing this for Sully? I know you have an angle...
Switch: I'm just pushing him in the right direction....
Switch: I do what's best for the company....
Mike:????
Switch: You'll see....
Mike: But..
Switch: I'm going to catch some shuteyes.....
Mike:??
Switch: I suppose you should get some shuteye (Laughing)
He closed his room's door.
Mike: Err!!!
