A/N y'know, it's amazing how good beans and cornbread really is. Doesn't
work well as a sandwich, though. Anyway, aren't you guys lucky? Two updates
in one week! Let's just see how this turns out, shall we?
**************************************************************************** **********
I was panting by the time I got to Sullivan. And boy was I surprised. I mean, he had looked big a second ago but looking up at him I felt like a floor tile. This guy was HUGE! Friendly though...like a big hamster or something. He looked down at me and sort of smiled.
"Hey down there! Haven't seen you around, new?"
"Name's Owen Pelekai. You're Sullivan, ain't ya?" I was trying to sound big, but it came out in a squeak, the words ran together too but he managed to get the drift. He bent down so he was near my level.
"Yep, they usually call me Sully though." He shrugged. He seemed like an okay guy, but this stuff about Randall was more important than names. "Are you okay? You seem really worked up about something." Worked up? Of course I was worked up! I just RAN for cryin' out loud!
"Fine then, Sully, I need to talk to you about a fella named Randall Boggs." Sully narrowed his eyes at me, probably wondering what I was up to. "He's after you." He kept looking serious for almost four seconds before he burst out laughing.
"No offense, kid, but there's no way Randall could be after me. He's not even in Monstropolis anymore." He straightened back up and walked past me.
"That's what you think, Fuzzball!" probably a bad idea to call the big strong guy names, but I had to get through to him! "Don't say I didn't warn you." Sully turned back to me.
"All right, what's this about?" he frowned. Funny, he didn't seem quite so friendly when he was unhappy. "Randall was banished to the human world. He's not coming back."
"He did come back, and that's why I'm here! He broke into our house and dragged me through the closet and into neopolitan-opolis or whatever you call it!" Sully definitely didn't believe me. I could see why. Here I was, an apparently normal monster, telling this guy that I'm from the human world. He probably thought I was nuts.
"Owen...you're nuts." Darn...he didn't have to point it out! "Now if you don't mind, I have work to do." He walked off again, not paying a bit of attention to me hollering after him. That was it. I'd tried. At least back home they would've acted like they believed me. There wasn't much else to do. Finishing off my sandwich from Phlegm I left to find Randall.

"Can't you eat any faster?" Lilo whined. The entire group was gathered in the locker room, leaning close to pressure Mike into a fast lunch. He ignored them, purposely eating as slowly as possible.
"You know, the more you do that the slower he'll go."
"Hey Sully." The experiments all gaped at the huge figure of Sully as he smiled at them casually. "You'll never believe what this kid said. He tried to convince me that Randall was back and he was out to get me." Mike stopped eating and gaped at him (producing a groan from everyone else). Stitch stepped up to Sully.
"Hey...was this kid green? With a sandwich?" Sully nodded. "Then he was telling the truth. Randall kidnapped him and we've come to rescue him." Stitch crossed his arms, glaring defiantly. "Look, you seem smart. Please help us get our friend back. We're not used to having so much food around the house." Sully shrugged down at him.
"Okay. I guess I should have believed Owen. But it seemed pretty unlikely."
"To us, ALL of this seems pretty unlikely." Peka muttered, thoroughly unhappy with the slow rate they were accomplishing their quest. Sully thought for a moment, rubbing his chin absently.
"I think we should wait until he makes his move, if he's here. You guys just stick with us." Stitch groaned.
"At this rate we won't be home for awhile..."

A/N *shoves Owen aside*
Owen: hey!
Took: just letting you guys know that I'm not sure where I'm going with this exactly, so...it maybe end up being kind of short. But don't worry, I won't abandon it again.
Owen: ya know...I could've said that for you...*sniff*
