It was the end of the day and everyone was going home from work. Sullivan, once again, was doing a favor for Mike. Just as he was about to leave, however, he heard someone talking in another room. He cautiously crept up and peered into the keyhole. It was Jodi and Randall! Sullivan listened a little closer. Jodi seemed really excited.
"So, after the boss elaves for the day," she looked around to make sure no one was listening. "I know where there's a spare key to the factory! I'm going to go in and look at some things I heard him talking about. I can't wait!" Randall smiled.
"You get to have all the fun!"
"You can come too, you know."
"No, I can't. I've got some things to do. Hey, you want a ride? I'll take you as far as the bus stop, but then you're out! I can't live the rest of my life with a little monster in the car, can I?" Jodi giggled.
"Sure! That'd be great! I'll be in here for about an hour, so I'll see you at the entrance at 5:00. I'll see you later!" Sullivan thought to himself.
"4:00! Here's my chance!"
After the boss did leave, Sullivan found Jodi snooping around Mr. Waternoose's office. Sullivan accidentally stepped on a loose floorboard, and Jodi immediately dropped what she looking at and vanished. Sullivan was perplexed. Where did she go? "Hello? I just want to talk to you!"
"What's there to talk about?" A voice said.
"Where are you?"
"That's for me to know and you to find out."
"Will you please just come out here?"
"What do you want?"
"I said already, I just want to talk to you!" Jodi quietly peeped out from a nearby shelf in the bookcase.
"Hi." Sullivan looked down at the floor.
"Look, Jodi, I'm sorry about yesterday. Really, I didn't think you'd run away from me! Why were you so scared of me?" Jodi glared at him.
"Why shouldn't I be?!" She shouted. "I saw you the other day in the training room and you were terrifying!"
"What? But that was just a demonstration!" Jodi crep out a little more. "I would never scare you! Why should I? You're a monster! And even if you were a kid I still wouldn't scare you!" Jodi looked at him.
"So, you're saying you like me?"
"I don't want you to be scared of me." Jodi jumped to the ground. "I thought you'd never come down." Jodi smiled.
"I'm sorry, Sullivan. I souldn't known better."
"It's okay. Call me Sulley." He held out his hand. "Friends?" Jodi looked at his hand, then at Sulley.
"Friends." She said, shaking his hand.
"Hey, you want to come over to my place?"
"Sorry, but I've already accedpted a ride from Randall. How 'bout another time?"
"Sure!"
"I'm glad we're friends, Sulley." Sulley smiled.
"Me too, Jodi." Jodi looked at her watch.
"Uh oh! It's 5:00! Randall going to be mad at me if I'm late! He can get crabby, you know. Catch ya later, Sulley!"
