Another update, woohoo.

Enjoy

Sulley wiped the sweat off his brow and took a moment to step back and examine his work. He couldn't help but feel pride in himself for what he had done. He had gotten up out of his make believe bed at 3 o'clock in the morning to get a drink, but before he knew it he was wide awake and plastering all the walls in the apartment. He didn't know why he had decided to do it then, it was just a sudden urge which he decided to act upon.

Half way through and he was to the point of exhaustion, and was almost on his way back to bed, though fortunately the newly discovered holy grail in his life, named coffee, had helped him pull though and he had completed a much needed to do job. It looked good, really good; it was a lot warmer now as well. All the place needed was a nice paint coat, some new flooring, a few things replaced here and there, some furnishings and then he and Mike would finally be getting their money's worth.

Speaking of whom, Sulley perked up suddenly and turned around when he heard the sound of a door knob turning.

Deciding that he wanted his moment of praise now, the big monster stood proud and tall with his arms stretched out wide to show off the amazing work he had done all night.

He waited as Mike pulled his bedroom door open and ran out of the small room. An eager smile was wide on his face and Sulley thought he knew why. "Tada!" he cheered, showing off the walls with pride, already imagining what the cyclops would say. However, all he got was blank, nothing, not even a glace as Mike pushed passed him and ran out the door.

Sulley's face dropped as did his arms to his sides as he watched his roommate go, realising he had just been well and truly rejected. "You have got to be kidding me!" he yelled angrily, grabbing the towel he had draped over his shoulder and throwing it to the ground in a fit. He dropped himself onto the floor and sat there with his head down, a bitter look on his face. He stayed that way for minutes until he heard the door once again throw itself open with a loud bang. The small round monster suddenly appeared in front of him out of nowhere, without so much as even a warning, which caused the bigger monster to fall backwards with a sharp yelp.

"Sulley!" Mike sang out loudly with excitement. He quickly grabbed the others large hand with his two small ones and used all his strength to pull him back up off the ground. He then wasted no time to smack the day's local paper in his face.

"We did it, we actually did it! They're calling us the greatest Team Act to walk the streets of Monstropolis since the Walking Paper Chain monster!" he cheered, dancing on the spot like he was ready to burst. Sulley quickly grabbed the newspaper and read the headlines for himself. On the front was a photo of him and Mike serving soup to the other employees; above were the words 'Soup'er Team' before the article below talked about the amazing stunt they pulled off and their careers at Monsters Incorporated so far.

A smile was quickly forming on Sulley's face also as he jumped up into the air and landed on his feet. "This is incredible Mikey, she actually said that we'll be making it to the top soon" he cheered, now just as excited as the other. "What did I tell ya? Huh? And you said that little trick would be stupid, it sure got that journalists attention" the cyclops said smugly with his hands on his hips. "Why did I ever doubt you?" Sulley smiled, digging his knuckles lightly into the others head, only to be swatted away. He stared at the newspaper a little longer before handing it back.

"Boy I can just imagine work today. Seriously we are gonna be big! Seriously, everyone's gonna be - Oh hey the walls have been fixed" Mike commented, suddenly noticing the newly done walls.

Sulley's pride came flowing back as soon as his work had finally been noticed. He crossed his arms over and smiled smugly, his own moment of glory finally due. "Well you say I just lay about all the time, I figured I could chip in for once and do something useful. What do you think?" he asked, watching as the cyclops looked around.

"Impressive..." Mike whistled, taking in all the work that had been done in one night, "How long did it take ya?"

"I've been up since 3" Sulley said before stretching his arms and yawning loudly. "I'm completely beet. I'm gonna go back to bed for a bit" he said, waving him off and walking to his room. "Uh Sull... we have work today?" the other reminded.

Sulley stopped in his tracks and raised his brow, "No we don't, it's Saturday."

"Nooooo, it's Friday" Mike corrected, making his way to the front door and holding it open. "Ughhh!" Sulley groaned, he sluggishly walked to the door with his hands trailing along the ground and his back hunched over, "Come on you'll be fine."

Despite the amazing attention and publicity the two had received for the stunt they pulled off the day before, they hadn't quite gotten the hero's welcome they had expected. They both and walked into work with the world on their shoulders, only to get an odd hello here and there, an occasional smile, a nod of the helmet and if someone was really nice, a quick 'Good job'.

Other than that they were back at the beginning, just being two regular catering boys. That was more than enough to send Mike back into a bad mood.

"I don't believe it! Just yesterday we had the entire company wrapped in our hands, and now were stuck serving them junk!" the cyclops rambled, being more aggressive than usual as he diced anything food-like in his sight. Not even caring what it was anymore, he threw anything he could grab into the soups and left it up to Sulley to pick out anything uneatable.

He had to admit though, even if he didn't show it, Sulley felt just as disappointed as Mike did. Well maybe he showed it a little in his own way, after all he was pretty sure no one notice the odd fly or spit in their food.

"Look Mike, we tried and failed, there's nothing more we can do. We still made a good impression, maybe we'll get promoted for that" he offered, despite knowing there was nothing he could say to make things better.

Another customer came with an empty plate and Sulley got to his duties, knowing Mike was in no mood to deal with people at this moment, which was probably for the best as they couldn't afford to get fired at this point.

"Think of it this way" Sulley tried once again, "It's not like we made our reputations any worse, I mean people might not be saying anything but that doesn't mean we're nobodies to them" he smiled.

Mike stopped for a moment and thought over what he said. It took a bit, but he finally let his tension and anger go along with a deep sigh, knowing for a fact that sulking wasn't going to do either of them any good. He put down the knife and turned to face the other. "Okay, you're right... sorry" he reluctantly apologised, which for him was not easy. Sulley didn't dwell on it, despite wanting too, instead he chuckled lightly.

The doors to the cafeteria opened and Sulley's eyes were drawn away from the cyclops within seconds. Mike gave him a funny look before following his gaze to see what he was staring at with a cocky smile planted on his face.

He was quick to understand and he was hardly surprised, as a group of chatty teenage kids, each formed in their own little group while being followed by a woman he assumed was their teacher, walked into the cafeteria. Of course… a School trip.

Schools were coming in by the dozens now days to learn about Scream Energy, though it was mostly high Schools now. With students heading to college soon the company was doing it's all to provoke interest into the younger generation, giving them the want and the opportunity to study scaring and work in the company. A scheme Mike didn't even want to think about anymore.

But that wasn't the issue at hand. The issue was with Sulley and his creepy smile as he watched the small group of teenage girls walk along together until their teacher stopped them with the other students to have a word.

Mike simply rolled his eye, "Seriously Sulley?" he said blankly. "What? I'm just scoping out the talent, that's all. Pretty sure they're doing the same" he grinned, noticing a few of the girls glancing his way. He took that as an opening and quickly rose up his hands, clicked with his tongue and gave them a wink, a move Mike had seen from him all too often. "Gimme a break" the smaller monster complained, grabbing a cloth and wiping the worktop to distract himself. Sulley watched as the girls huddled up together and giggled wildly, which was enough to fill him with arrogance, "You're just jealous."

"Jealous? Of what?!" Mike snapped back, suddenly feeling defensive. Sulley could easily tell which made it much easier for him, "Oh come on, you have no idea how to handle women. I bet you've never even had a girlfriend" he laughed, distracting himself briefly with doing his job while waiting for the other to snap back again. Surely enough he got what he expected, "Hey! I've had girlfriends before!" Mike boasted.

Sulley raised his brow, "... I've had a girlfriend before" he corrected, not as enthusiastic as before. "I dated a famous singer" he added, a prideful smile found its way to his round face. Sulley crossed his arms in amusement, "Oh really?" he said with little belief. "Yep, Susie Boil, she used to be in my class in the fifth grade" the cyclops mused, "We passed notes to each other all the time. Well we did... up until she went on that talent show and became one of the biggest voices in the music biz.." he recalled, his face becoming blank as he thought back all those years, "She never did replied to my letter... just sent it back.."

"What about you, how many girls have you supposedly had?" Mike quickly asked, snapping out of his slump and facing the bigger monster. Sulley just had to look at him to get him to realise how stupid that question was, "Fifty two, lover boy, soon to be fifty six when I get my pick of those girls over there" he grinned, leaning down on the counter and watching the group of teenage girls who now sat down at a table, gossiping among themselves. However there was one girl who was doing something else.

"You know Sulley, you can be really disgusting at times-" Mike started, only to be cut off with a hand over his mouth. "Mike shut up, look at that girl... She is totally flirting with me" the monster grinned, nudging his head towards the said girl.

Mike tried to pin point which girl he was talking about, and managed to find her easily. She was sat at the very end of the table facing them and could be seen easily through the crowed. She was a tall, thin girl, with glowing pink skin and a narrow looking face. She had five purple snakes that wrapped around her head at the back and fell half way down her face, each one swaying as they had a mind of their own. She wore a simple green strapless dress which came down half way to her tentacle legs. Three long lashes lined along her one giant eye, which focused directly on the two boys behind the canteen.

When she finally got their attention, out of nowhere, she blew them a kiss.

The lads were both taken aback by her brave move as they both gave her goofy smiles. "She is... beautiful" Mike whispered to himself, his eye completely focused upon hers, he was completely smitten as she continued giving them little waves and pulling cute little flirty faces at them. Sulley responded no differently, as he too seemed really smitten, "What is this, the 18th century? She's HOT!" he burst. Using his hand, he nudge Mike out of the way before positioning himself how he wanted, "Out the way buddy, let me show you how a pro does it" he boasted, before raising his hands up and clicking at the girl as he did before.

To his surprised, she looked at him with confusion.

Finally, it was Mike's turn to gloat, "Ohhh I didn't understand. When you said 'Pro' you meant it as in scaring girls away, right?"

Sulley had to quickly brush it off and try again. He held his hand into the air and pawed like a tiger while making roaring noises. This however only resulted in the girl looking more scared then confused, why however, he couldn't understand. Mike on the other hand understood perfectly as he laughed at the ridiculousness faces Sulley pulled and the results they were getting him.

However the blue monster wasn't going to give up without a fight. He blew a kiss at the girl, doing just what she did and hoping it was what she wanted. It was not.

In the end Sulley stuck out his tongue and waved it about slowly and desperate, which of course lead the girl to look at him disgustedly.

Seeing this, Mike grabbed Sulley's arm, knowing she wasn't haven't fun anymore. "Hey cut it out now Sull, you're making her uncomfortable" he said sternly. "What? All I was doing was-"

"Okay class, lunch is over, let's get back to the tour" the high School teacher announced, though with little enthusiasm, as she got up and led all of her students out of the cafeteria room. The group of girls all got up together and followed the crowed, not yet realising that one of their own had stayed behind and was writing something on a small piece of paper.

Mike and Sulley both watched as she looked up at them with a tiny smile and then planted a kiss onto the paper she held. She stood up from the table, holding the paper into the air for them to see, before letting it drop from her hand. She quickly turned away and caught up with her friends, and just like that, she, her School and all the other employers in the canteen were gone, leaving it empty apart from the two canteen boys.

They looked at each other for a second before they both shot off in different directions to get to that piece of paper left on the table. Mike was the first to reach it, mostly because he thought to go around the canteen whereas Sulley tried to jump over it and fell to the floor.

The blue monster was quick to get up though and join the other, "What's it say?" he asked eagerly. He grabbed the small note from Mike's hand and looked for himself. On the note were the words 'Call me - Celia' along with a phone number and a kiss mark from her lipstick.

"I did it! She wants me to call her. Yes!" Sulley cheered. Mike hadn't heard him though, as he just stared into space blankly with his smitten smile back once again. "Celia..." he said lightly to himself, his face getting brighter as he remembered how she looked, those sweet little faces she pulled, her tiny smile... the way that she had looked at... him?

He suddenly snapped from his thoughts, only to be met with the sight of Sulley dancing on the spot. Now he was just wondering what he had missed.

I always think I'm just gonna write short chapters, oh well.

Anybody get my Susie Boil reference? Huh? Huh?

Lol couldn't resist :3
