"Well, this is it, Randall! Think you're ready?"
"I'm always ready. The question is: are you ready?"
"Couse' I am!"
"Just remember the deal. If we lose, you get to be the second-best scarer for a whole week."
"WHAT?! You never told me that!"
"What do you mean? Of course I told you! Remember this morning? You told me that scaring can't be that hard, so I told you that if we lost, you had to take my place for a week, and I would be assistant for a week. But you were so wrapped up in that magazine that you probably didn't even hear me, did you?"
"But-but-but-"
"No but's about it, Jodi. A deal's a deal, and you're going to stick to it. Got it?"
"But I-"
"GOT IT?"
"Yeah."
"Good. Now let's get going." And so the contest began. Jodi and Mike took their places by their stations and got the doors into place. Sulley and Randall came out and went to their station. Sulley and Mike started out pretty good, but soon Randall and Jodi caught up with them. As Jodi was returning a door to the vault, she shouted over to Mike.
"You'll never beat us, Mike!"
"What are you talking about? Me and Sull can beat you any day, any place, any time, any-"
"SHUT UP, GUMBALL!"
"You shut up, you girl!" Everyone looked at Mike. Jodi was glaring at him. Randall kept her going.
"Don't listen to him, Jodi. Just keep the door coming, and we'll be fine." Then he started raising his voice. "But if you just want to scare for a week, you can just keep blabbing, we won't get anything done, and we'll lose! NOW GET TO WORK! Or you'll end up scaring for a month instead. SO GET ME ANOTHER DOOR! Okay?"
"Don't worry. We've got a slumber party on our hands." Jodi said, peeking through the door. "Go get em, Randall! C'mon, you're doing great! Now scare the pants off those kids!"With this kind of encouragement, the team moved up 98 points. "YEAH! That's what I like to hear! Look at those numbers!" Jodi started chanting as she got another door. "They don't think that we can scare, well lookie here, just give us a dare! We'll scare any kid or bust, but look out, world, kids can't be trust! Cause' they can't be trusted, one and all, can never get any sleep at all! They always worry, always fear, that kids will come through their doors, to here! So if this happens, it's a piece of cake! All you need is the CDA! And this is what I have to say, don't be scared of kids, for in a way, they're just like you! They eat and sleep, and they have many secrets to keep! And if a kid ever touches you, just remember: they're scared of you!" But then, what do you think happened? Sulley and Mike scared three slumber parties in a row, and went up 176 points! The 15 minutes came and went, and the contest was over. Everyone waited for Mr. Waternoose to announce the winners.
"Sullivan: 1,785. Randall: 1784." Jodi mouth dropped open. Randall grinned at Jodi.
"Congratulations, scarer. You just got youself a job."
"What?! Oh, c'mon, Randall! You can't do this to me!"
"I can, and I will. you're officially a scarer for one week. "
"Don't worry about Jodi. You did a pretty good job! I mean, come on, you were one point away!"
"Thanks, Sulley. At least somebody has some sympathy for me." Jodi said, turning towards Randall.
"What? We had a deal, and she accepted it!" Jodi went up to Mike.
"Good job, Mike. I guess you're a pretty good assistant after all."
"Thanks, Jodi. You did a pretty good job yourself."
"You know, Mike, you're not half so bad. Well, I'd better get some sleep if I'm going to scare tomorrow. I'll see you guys tomorrow!"
"I'm always ready. The question is: are you ready?"
"Couse' I am!"
"Just remember the deal. If we lose, you get to be the second-best scarer for a whole week."
"WHAT?! You never told me that!"

"GOT IT?"
"Yeah."
