The next day, Jodi was acting pretty mysterious.
"See ya later, Sulley!"
"Where are you going so early!"
"My mom said I have to be home by 4:00. Bye!"
"Okay, bye." But Jodi was already out the door. "I wonder what's up with her." So Sulley decided to follow her. First, she went over to Roz's office.
"Hello, Roz, hey, no hard feelings about that stink bomb, right? Say, do you think that you could get a card key for me?"
"Sorry, but no children are allowed to operate the complicated and high-tech scaring equipment."
"Uh-oh!" Thought Sulley. "That's no way to talk to Jodi! Oh, man, she's really going to blow her top!"
"Listen, lady." Said Jodi, getting a little annoyed. "I don't know who you think you are, but for you information, I have been using this factory's equipment for as long as I can remember. For Pete's sake, I was a scarer for a whole week! Man!" Jodi stomped off, only to stop again. She looked back at the office and grinned. Then she vanished. Sulley couldn't see what she was doing, but he saw the door open and then shut. Everything was quiet for a minute, and then the door opened and shut again. Once he could see Jodi again, she took off for the scare floor. Once she was there, she slid the card key through the slot, and a door came out of the vault. Jodi threw the card key onto a desk and went into the door. Sulley crept up to it and opened the door a crack. Then he saw what he would have never dreamed possible! Jodi took off the hood of her costume. She wasn't a monster after all! Sulley couldn't believe it. He quickly shut the door and ran back to the locker room.
"I don't believe it! It can't be possible! Jodi's not a monster at all! She's a human girl! But wait, if she's a human, and children are toxic, and I'm not dead yet, then she can't be toxic! I've gotta tell Mike!" Sulley ran back to his apartment and burst through the door. "Mike! Jodi's a kid!"
"She's going to the costume party too? That's a great costume! I'm going to be a monster with two eyes!"
"No, Mike! Jodi's really- oh, never mind." The next day, Sulley was waiting for Jodi at the factory.
"Hey, Sulley! What's up?" Sulley wanted to yell at her, but he kept himself calm. Instead he just stared at her. "What? What are you looking at? You look like you just got locked up in a box with a kid!" Sulley thought to himself.
"Good guess, Jodi, but that's not enough for lying." Sulley grabbed her hand and started dragging her back to his apartment.
"Sulley! What are you doing?! What is wrong with you, Sulley?! Sulley!" She yanked her hand away. Sulley sighed.
"Jodi, I need to talk to you privately. Do you mind coming over to my apartment? We need to talk alone while Mike's not there yet." Jodi smiled.
"Sure, Sulley. Why didn't you just say so instead of dragging me all the way here without even telling me what's going on?"
"Sorry." They finally got to Sulley's apartment. Sulley got down on his knees until his eyes were level with Jodi's. "Now, Jodi, I need the truth. What's this all about? I know you're not telling me something."
"What do you mean?" Sulley flipped up her hood.
"You know exactly what I mean." Jodi's eyes widened. "Now tell me. What's going on?" The girl sighed.
"First of all, my name is Alex. I'm a ten-year-old girl living in Gary, Indiana. I have a four-year-old sister named Stephanie, and I have tunnels in my basement that lead to Mosntropolis. I wanted to see the monster world up close, so I made a costume that I thought would keep my identity hidden, and then I could go freely into Monstropolis. Then I met you, and I wasn't so careful about being undercover anymore. And I just got so caught up in the factory, and with the contest that I completely forgot about being a human and considered myself a monster. I love the monster world, Sulley! If there was one thing in my whole life that I could change I would want to be a monster!"
"But why did you lie to everybody?"
"I didn't think you would like me, and I knew that you would be scared of me, so if I wanted to get to know you, I have to keep myself, the real Alex, hidden."
"But I still don't understand. How could you turn invisible? And how did you get the tunnels?"
"I was looking through Randall's stash of stuff when I came across something that told me how. And the tunnels, well ti's a long story. We moved to Indiana when I was two, and when I was six, well, I wasn't supposed to go down to the basement, but I did anyway, and I went to a room way in the back to look at the things that were on the shelves, and of course I climbed them, when I fell off and kcnocked over a bucket. There was a little round door there, so I opened it, and looked inside. It was really dark in there, so I got out a flashlight and went inside. What I saw was a tunnel, so I crawled inside. Then there were three tunnels. So I went through each one of them except the one to the right. And I still don't know where it goes! So then, later, I made the costume and started my life in the monster world. I got so used to going through the tunnel to get here, that I can see in the dark. That's why I told Randall that I have night vision."
"Alex, quick! Someone's coming!" Just then, Mike burst through the door. "Sulley! Why did you run out of the factory like that so early? Oh, hi, Jodi!"
"Mike, Alex has something to tell you."
"Alex? Who's Alex?" Alex stepped forward.
"I'm Alex." She said, pulling back her hood.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! Sulley, look out! There's a kid right next to you!"
"Mike, it's okay, it's-"
"How do you know my name? I know! You're not really a kid at all! Oh, no! Stay back, you alien life form!"
"Mike! SHUT UP! It's me, Jodi. Except now I'm Alex."
"Jodi?"
"Yes, and if you'll just shut up, I can tell you how it all happened. You see it all started when we moved to Indiana..." After Alex told Mike the story, Sulley told her something she couldn't believe.
"Now, Alex, you know what you have to do, right?"
"What?"
"You have to tell everyone who you really are."
"WHAT?!"
"See ya later, Sulley!"
"Where are you going so early!"
"My mom said I have to be home by 4:00. Bye!"
"Okay, bye." But Jodi was already out the door. "I wonder what's up with her." So Sulley decided to follow her. First, she went over to Roz's office.

"What?"
"You have to tell everyone who you really are."
