Chapter 3 Sully Trouble
Since it was late, the next day came quickly. But this one seemed a little at fault with Switch. He could tell something not to his liking would happen. He had entered an elevator that would take him to Waternoose's office.
Switch: (Hmm....I need to speak to Watery about Sullivan...)
Switch: ( May make my job easier...)
(Ding)
He exited. At first there were a couple chairs and pictures of Waternoose. He walked around and turned the into the room that was near the right side of the elevator.
Switch:!!!!!
Sully was in the room with Waternoose.
Switch: What's going on here!?
Waternoose: Oh Randall....
Switch: Fine call me by my real name!
Waternoose: What did you come here for?
Switch: What is Sullivan doing here!?
Waternoose: James here has promised to fill in, and if possible take the place, of a scarer...
Switch:!!!!
Waternoose: Although he's not fully qualified, he has shown me that he can become a scarer...
Waternoose: I'm sure in a week or two, he'll be in top shape....
Switch: Err!...(Sarcastically) I can't wait for the new challenge!
He turns and leaves.
Waternoose: Wonder what's with him...?
Waternoose: The Top Scarers aren't like that....
Sully: Sir if I ever become an official scarer...
Sully: You think I could make it to 2nd?...
Waternoose: Well my boy, you could become top if you work hard enough...
Sully remembered his training with Switch/Randall.
Sully: Uh...sir...I wouldn't want to bring Switch....
Waternoose: You can call him Randall you know...
Sully:...I don't want to bring Randall down...
Waternoose: Nonsense...
Sully: Please sir, 2nd is good enough....
Waternoose: Ok my boy....
*
[ To avoid further confusion, if any, I will now change Switch's name back to Randall. Randall will still be called Switch by some other characters though.]
Randall was in one of the halls that were empty. He was leaning on one of the coolers, drinking some water from one of the cups, trying to cool off himself.
Randall: I don't believe this!
Randall: He, a scarer!
Randall:...Phew...calm down...
Randall: He hasn't got the job yet.....
Randall: Time to push him harder...
Randall: Or at least get him fired!
Randall: He wont get a chance!
He threw the cup in one of the bins and heads off. As he was walking through the halls, he remembered something that was on his schedule.
Randall: Oh yeah...Forgot about that simulator training...
He stops and heads back to the simulator room.
*
He had remembered that yesterday before he went to the floor, Waternoose had asked him to show some monsters how to scare. He entered.
Red monster: Oh Mr. Boggs your early....
Randall: I just want to get this over with...set the station back up...
He went over and waited for the set to order itself.
Randall:....Huh?
He noticed the ones who were to watch him came up extending there clipboards.
Randall: Ok...
He got the pen from each of them and signed all three at the same time with his hands. Then the taller, and seemed much older than the other two went to him.
Monster: So you keeping up the Boggs tradition Mr. Randall?
Randall: Of course!
Randall: Ever since we came into this company we've been the best....
Randall could see that everything was set and he went over to the door. The lights dimmed to show darkness. Randall then turned invisible, then slowly opened the door then closed it. Randall then seemed to attach himself to the ceiling, he then turned visible. He used his feet to keep him attached to the wall, as the rest of his body dropped in front of the kid.
Randall: RRRRRAAAAGGGGGH!
Fake kid: AAAAAAAHHHH!
The robot overload, making it break down.
(Clapping)
Randall hopped down onto the bed, then down one all fours.
Randall: Thank you, thank you...
*
Randall was out in the hall and made sure the door was closed when...
Randall:(Chuckle) Losers! (Laughing)
He turned into the hall.
(Slam!)
Randall fell on his back, as did the monster he had hit. Randall used his hands to left the top part of his body.
Randall: Watch where you going!
Monster: S-S-Sorry....
The monster was Fungus.
Fungus:!!!! Oh! I'm so sorry Mr. Boggs!
Fungus picked himself up as Randall did, brushing the dirt from his scales.
Randall: Who are you?...
Fungus: F-F-Fungus sir....
Randall: New huh?...
Fungus: Y-Y-Yes sir...
Randall: Janitor, assistant,....scarer?
Fungus: Assistant.....
Randall: To...who?
Fungus: J-J-James Sullivan....
Randall: What!? He hasn't even become one!
Fungus: If he does, I'm his assistant...
Randall: Err...whatever..
He moves past him.
*
As he went to his floor, he began thinking of how to get Sully out of M.I.
Randall: Maybe if he caused an accident...
Randall:....
Voice: Hey Randall!
Randall: That's Switch to....oh...
He turns seeing Sully stop near him.
Sully: I worked it out with Mr. Waternoose to make me begin from the ground up...
Randall: You don't have what it takes...
Sully: Well I'm not going to fix pipes forever..
Randall: (Pipes....ah...)
Randall: Yeah, whatever...
Randall: I have no time to fool with you...
He starts to head to the floor but turns.
Randall: Training begins an hour later tonight...
He continues off.
Sully:???
*
Randall and Mike were yet again stuck behind. When Randall came out he stopped Mike from sending back the door.
Randall: I'll put the door back, you can head home...
Mike: Why?
Randall: It's easy...Just pull, click, and clamp....
Mike: Well....Ok!
Mike zooms out as Randall sent back the door and place the canister on the rack.
Randall: Now...where's...ah...
He notice Fungus pass by in the hall that lead from the scare floor to the rest of the building.
Randall: Good...
He disappears and slithers over to him.
*
Fungus:...
Voice: Psst!...Fungus!
Fungus stops near Roz's desk, and saw Randall appear in front of him.
Fungus: Ahh...emph!
Randall had placed his hand on his mouth.
Randall: Hey there...
Fungus:???
He releases him.
Fungus: M-M-Mr.. Boggs....
Randall: Spare me with your gitterness...
Fungus:.....
Randall: I have a proposal for you....
Randall placed his left arms around him as he explained.
Randall: How would you like to be my assistant?
Randall waved his right arm in a rainbow type motion
Randall: Be with the top scarer...
Randall: Money, girls, publicity outcomes....
Fungus: R-R-Really?
Randall: Right...but you have to one simple thing...
Fungus: Ok...
Randall placed on the motion he did when he ended saying "Change" to Mike and Sully in the locker room in Monsters Inc. movie.
Randall: Good...now listen partner...its quite easy....
*
Sully: Randall!?
Sully entered the empty scare floor. No sign of anyone was in the floor. But he noticed a door in his station that had a note on it. He went over and looked at it.
Sullivan,
We need some full canisters for today's lesson's. There should be some in the basement level, bring them up here when your done. -Switch
Sully: Ok...
He heads over to the elevator and it descends.
*
Sully had found a rack of full canisters, he found that he had left them where he had worked, making the scream into energy.
Sully: Ok...
He placed them in a cart.
(Help!)
Sully:???
(Help!!!)
Sully:!!!
He drops the canister he was holding and runs to the voice.
Sully:!!!
He could see Fungus at the back of a dead end hallway, his leg caught under some gravel. He also noticed that near the middle of the hallway, the side pipes were broken, an electrical current was zipping back and fourth between the side pipes. Sully was not about to get shocked.
Fungus: Help!
Sully: What are you doing down here!?
Fungus: Looking for you!
Sully:!!!
Sully looked around and saw a switch near himself. He pulled it down.
(VVVVRRRSSSMMM)
The current stopped and Sully pulled Fungus out.
Fungus: Thanks....
The two walk out.
*
(Ding!)
The two get out of the elevator.
Sully: You sure your ok?
Fungus: Yeah....
Voice: Ahem...
They look up seeing Randall.
Randall: Where were you!?
Sully: I went to get the canisters, then found Fungus stuck...
Randall: You shut down the power!!!
Sully: What?!
Randall: You shut down about halve of our refineries!
Sully: But I...
Randall: We need to tell Waternoose....
Both:....
*
Waternoose lectured Sully like an angry father. Randall just stood there a little behind Sully, smiling at his success.
Waternoose: How could you do this James....
Sully: I...
Randall stepped in front of him, his hands folded behind his back, as if defending him.
Randall: Oh but he was saving an employee sir....
Randall: But I realized he should have waited for further assistance
Waternoose: None the less...James you should have alerted me....
Sully: Yes sir...
Waternoose: I don't know whether to fire you or not...
Randall gave a small unnoticed grin.
Sully:...
Waternoose: But, I will give Mr. Fungus to Mr. Boggs....
Sully turned to Randall, who had a serious face on.
Waternoose: For protection....
Randall:...
Waternoose: And Mr. Wazowski.....will be yours...
Randall jumped back.
Randall: What!!!???
Sully: I don't quite understand......
Waternoose: I have given you the job....
Randall: Sir!
He pushed Sully back a bit.
Randall: He committed a blackout situation!
Waternoose: Sullivan here is a good employee...
Waternoose: I wouldn't fire him...so...
Waternoose: To make sure it doesn't again, I gave him the job...
Waternoose: You can take him under your wing Mr. Boggs.....
Randall:......ERR!
Waternoose: But with your skills, you'll probably be top scarer still...
Randall turned to Sully.
Randall: Rest assure, I will be!
He rushed out the room.
Waternoose:???
Sully:...Sir...
Waternoose: Yes...?
Sully: Randall....was the one teaching me...
Waternoose: Really....No wonder you've met our expectations...
Sully: Could I be placed in the same floor?
Waternoose: No problem my boy....
Sully: Thank you sir...
*
Randall was near the empty hallway on the elevator. His hands and two front feet crossed, his back two feet holding him up. He had a disappointed and angry face.
(Ding)
Sully came out and saw him.
Sully: Randall...
Sully: I'm sorry that you umm...well...
Randall: As long as you stay away from my title....
Randall: Then I wont have much of a problem with you.....
Sully: Ok...
Randall: Well...since your a scarer...trainings over....
Sully: Are you sure there isn't anything else?
Randall:...Well...yeah...
He came back on his four feet again.
Sully: Really! What?
Randall: Banishment...
Sully:???
Randall: A topic I rather don't talk about...
Randall: Follow me...
Randall and Sully walk down the empty hall's. Sully following to Randall's right side.
Randall: You can get banished easily here...
Sully: How?
Randall: Like breaking the laws of M.I...the big ones...
Randall: Returning from pervious banishment....
Randall: Brining in a kid...
Sully:???
Randall stopped and turned his head to Sully.
Randall: I want you to make me a promise...
Sully: Sure...
Randall: For the years to come...
Randall: Even if we become enemy's....
Randall: Don't banish me....And I won't banish you...
Sully:???
Sully had no idea why he had said it...but, he did owe him...
Sully: Ok...I guess...
Randall: Really?
Sully: Really I promise....
Randall: Good....see you tomorrow...for work....ehh...yeah...
He trotted off.
Sully: Yeah...for work....yes!
