A/N: WOAH. What's this? A second chapter in a week? Yes, that's right! Now I'm updating twice a week for all of you who didn't see the announcement! Happy reading! :)

Back in Monstropolis, Monster's Inc was at peace, now that the threats had been dealt with. When everyone found out about Waternoose's scandal and Randall's part in it, it had been huge news, all over TV, the newspapers, the media had gone crazy. It had been the talk of the city, everyone had heard of it unless they had been living under a rock.

Now all of this had quieted down, Randall had been banished and Waternoose was locked away in the slammer. Some rumored that is was possible that Randall could come back and no one expected anything from Waternoose, but it came like a slap to the face when it was announced he had escaped Monstropolis Prison.

Waternoose was on the run. The police were after him and he knew they weren't going to call off the chase until he was caught. He wanted revenge. Sully and Mike ruined his life. He had been running a good system. All he wanted to do was speed up the process and eliminate unneeded jobs. It was for the good of the city as well as the company. Besides, those parents wouldn't miss those children that bad! They'd get over it. But some morons just didn't appreciate a genius when they saw one.

He didn't really know what he was going to do when he found that crack in the wall in his cell, but all he knew was that he wasn't about to pass up a good escape. He had been on the run for several days now, everyone knew his face, so disguising himself was out of the question. Besides, police patrolled the city now, 24/7 and if he tried to go to anyone for help, they'd surely turn him in. After all those sleepless nights in cardboard boxes in the alley ways, he figured out his next step. He wanted to continue with his and Randall's plan. The only problem was that the Scream Extractor was broken and only Randall could fix it. Then they could prove everyone wrong, prove that the Scream Extractor is useful, and become respected once more. He had no idea where to start searching for Randall since he had been banished, but he figured the Himalayas were a good place to start.

"I'm sorry, I haven't seen him." The Abominable Snowman said as he packed the ice into his famous snow cones.

He held a suspiciously yellow one out to Waternoose. "Snow cone?"

Waternoose glared at it and smacked it away. "I don't have time for snow cones." He growled.

"Where did you say he was banished again?" the Abominable Snowman asked.

"That's the thing! I don't know! That blasted Sullivan and his little green ball of freak threw him in one of the doors and broke it so he can't get back." Waternoose grumbled as he watched the heavy snow billow past.

"Well I don't know what to tell you." The Abominable Snowman shrugged.

"Well, when Sullivan and Mike were banished, how did they get back?"

The Abominable Snowman pointed towards a small, well-lit village at the bottom of the deep, snow covered hill.

"They went to that village." He said.

"Wait, so are you telling me, you can just get back to Monstropolis through any kid's closet?" Waternoose asked incredulously.

"Yup. You sure you don't want a snow cone?"

Waternoose didn't answer. The Abominable Snowman turned around to see why and got his answer.

Waternoose was gone.

Back in Dixon, Montana, Randall was having some down time after another one of Kimmie and BZ's tea parties. God, he hated those. Buttons the Bear creeped him out, those two coal black button eyes boring into his soul. He shivered at the thought. Suddenly he heard a muffled sound coming from the bathroom. He listened for a second before determining it was Marra. He knew he shouldn't, but he found himself almost feeling sorry for her. As Bree had mentioned, she apparently had had a rough past.

"Hey, you ok in there?" he couldn't stop himself from knocking.

"G-go away, Randall!" Marra's muffled voice sounded through the door.

"Ok, look, I really don't care that much, but at least tell me why you're crying." Randall insisted, trying the doorknob and finding it was locked.

"None of your business!" Marra snapped.

Randall shrugged. "Ok, see ya." He said and turned to leave when he heard the lock click and the door swing open.

"Ok, fine. Come in." Marra sighed. Her pretty face was a mess. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying, her nose was running pretty badly, and her mascara was running down her face. Randall let himself in and sat down on the floor as Marra closed the door behind him. Marra sat down on the toilet and wiped her eyes.

"So you gonna tell me what's wrong or what? Cuz, if you're planning to get snot on me, I'm leaving." He growled impatiently.

"I-I-" Marra tried to choke out.

Randall frowned. He had never been the emotional type and definitely sucked at showing sympathy. He got up and walked over to her.

"Uh, there, there." He said stupidly and awkwardly patted her on the back.

"M-my boyfriend of one year broke up with me! He said he needed a break and… and he got back with his ex!" she blurted out and started crying again.

Randall took a second to register what he had just heard. "Oh, gee, uh, I'm sorry… I guess…" He replied.

Marra just sniffed. Before he knew it, she had collapsed on him and was crying over his shoulder. Randall shuddered at the human contact and prayed someone would come rescue him. "Hey, everything ok in there?" Grant's voice sounded from the other side of the door.

Randall felt a wave of relief wash over him. "No, Marra's crying." he replied.

Grant came in, took one look at her, and gathered her up into a tight hug. Randall saw his chance to leave and took it. He sighed in relief. He had mixed feelings about Marra, he couldn't decide if he liked her or not, at the same time, he kind of felt for her, but his morals was keeping him back. Monsters and humans didn't belong together. He needed to get back to Monstropolis fast. Before anything else happened that made him closer to these humans or before they found out why he was really here.

"Hey, Randall." A voice broke through his thoughts. He looked down to find Simon smiling up at him.

"What do you want kid?" Randall growled.

"Ever since that day you came here, we haven't really gotten to know each other. Want to watch some TV with me?" he asked.

Randall felt his face get hot. All these kids were being so nice to him, well except for Marra.

"Um, sure squirt." He replied and followed Simon to the big overstuffed couch. Simon snatched up the remote and starting flipping channels. "What do you want to watch?" he asked.

Randall deadpanned the screen until a show with a screaming child came on. Apparently it was a horror movie and the child's squeals made Randall homesick, but delighted him at the same time. "Stop, I want to watch this one!" Randall commanded.

Simon watched as the intruder entered the house, brandishing a sharp butcher knife. "Uhm… I don't think I should watch this right before bed…" he protested.

Randall frowned when the intruder found the child hiding in the closet. "Yeah, you're probably right." He agreed, snatched the tv remote from Simon's hand, and quickly switched the channel.

"Oh, hey! Animal Planet! I love this channel!" Simon sat up eagerly.

Randall watched the snakes slither around on the screen. Well it could be worse he thought as he watched the snake attack its prey. At least an hour past, Simon had fallen asleep on the couch while Randall was still watching the screen. Randall sensed a presence and turned around to see Adam gently gather Simon into his arms.

"Night Randall." Adam said in a hushed tone as he carried Simon off.

Randall turned back around to the TV and continued to watch, but before he knew it, he was fast asleep.

The next day, he decided to put his plan into action. He was still healing from a few wounds he had suffered from those mouse traps, but if he found a way back to Monstropolis, as soon as they healed he would make dash for it. Randall waited for a few minutes after the last kid had left for school, but staying up with Simon watching Animal Planet had taken its toll and he drifted into a heavy slumber.

He woke with a start. What time was it? He glanced at the kitchen clock. 2:45. Great, the kids were going to be home any minute. Randall scrambled up and ran to the nearest closet, which happened to be Kimmie's. Just as he was about to open it, he heard footsteps outside and the door jiggle. He cursed himself for falling asleep and missing his chance to search the house for a way back to Monstropolis. He bolted to Kimmie's bed and curled up at the bottom, pretending he was asleep.

"Randy, we're home!" Kimmie called. Randall decided not to answer.

"Randy?" Kimmie asked.

Randall opened one eye and quickly shut it when he saw a shadow approaching in the hallway.

"Don't worry Kimmie, Randall's right here." Bree said. Randall yawned and stretched, as if he had jut woken up from a long nap.

"Hey kid." He greeted Kimmie. Kimmie grinned at him.

"So what have you been up to?" Bree asked.

"Oh, just sleeping mostly." Randall replied. Well, for once, it was the truth.
