Chapter Ten: To Fight and To Forgive
Quitting bell rang after a painfully long day. Randall had been in a bad mood ever since what Parker had told him. What frustrated him most was he didn't know why. Recently, whenever he'd been around her he'd been happy and glad to be with her. Since she was with Parker, whatever chance he thought he had had with her was gone. He walked out through the front doors of the factory and heard another door open behind him then someone calling his name. He knew exactly who it was but he kept on walking.
"Hey! Randall, I'm trying to talk to you!" Slike said stepping in front of him. "You haven't spoken to me all day, what's wrong?"
"When were you planning on telling me Parker was your boyfriend?" He growled glaring at her.
"What!" She yelped slightly backing up a step.
"After you left the park last night, guess who I ran in to? That snake threatened me and told me to stay away from 'his girl'. Seeing as you were the only girl around I could only wonder who he was talking about!" He snarled raising his hackles slightly.
"What- Whatever Parker said to you he was lying! He lied to you!"
"Yeah, well I'm not so sure he's the one whose lying!"
"You told me how badly I lied, does it look like I'm lying now?" He didn't answer. "I hate him with a passion, he knows it, and he does anything to make my life and the lives of those around me miserable. I would never do anything like that. I wouldn't do anything to hurt you."
"Hurt me? Since when did I care about you?" A hurt look came across Slike's face and she backed up farther. Mentally kicking himself, Randall regretted already what he'd just said.
"You obviously haven't noticed but I care about you too much to ever do something like that. I wouldn't lie to you." She said before blending herself and vanishing.
The sound of her voice and the look in her eyes told him she wasn't lying. He just blown up at one of the few creatures that had ever thought of him as a friend. Feeling guilty and horrible he went to the only other place he'd think of her to be; back to the small restaurant where they had had their food fight.
Randall opened the door and spotted Slike sitting at a back table. Her head was resting on the palm of one of her hands and she was staring out the window next to her. He crossed the section of floor between them and sat down in the chair across from her. Startled she looked at him then back out the window, ignoring him being there.
"Why are you here? I didn't think you cared." She asked coldly.
"I should have listened to you. I just want you to know it's not true what I said. I do care about you, you're one of the only monsters I've considered to be a friend. Sorry for not believing you." He said before standing up. "Well I'll see you around."
"Randall," Slike suddenly said looking over at him to see he was gone. Looking up at the door she saw his tail vanish through it.
Out on the street, Randall was walking back towards his home. She was still mad at him that was for sure. He deserved it to. Sighing to himself he picked up sped as the wind began blowing making the air around him colder. Then someone tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around and saw Slike standing in front of him.
"That was some pretty mean stuff you said earlier today. Most monsters wouldn't forgive you for it." She said. Then her eyes became like they had in the locker room that one- day, kind and warm not cold. "But, I think I'll make an exception. You're forgiven."
"Slike, I... you're a very confusing creature you know that right?" Randall said staring down at her a smile appearing, a real smile.
"And you're a creature that talks to much." Then to his surprise she put her arms up around his neck pulled his head down to her height and kissed him and he kissed her back. He was thankful to have someone care about him. He put both sets of hands around her back pulling her closer. After a minute or two they broke apart.
"You know, we should go to the park or something before some kid gets scarred for life." Randall smirked. Slike looked up at him then rolled her eyes. "I have to show Wazowski how its done."
Well there you go everyone! Hope this chapter wasn't too mushy or anything for you. I thought those two would never get around to it. ~_^
On second thought, I'm not going to put up a different chapter. An idea just popped up into my head on what to do next. I think I'm going to make the ending tie in a little to the movie. ^_^ thanx everyone!
