Been too long since I updated. But here's the next chapter for whoever was reading this. It's taking too long to recall things.


Chapter 4

"Up and at 'em!" Sully called the next morning.

Andy sat bolt upright with a start and looked at his surroundings. The room seemed normal enough. A dresser, bed, closet, your basic room. But what caught his attention was the view out the window. The city he saw was enormous. He thought it looked familiar, but wasn't exactly sure. It looked like any other. Andy was really confused, thinking he was dreaming. The sound of two giggling girls running past his door reminded him he was with Bonnie and Mary. He shook his head and walked out of the room, down the stairs and into the kitchen. He froze at the kitchen entrance.

Two things were wrong. 1) How did he know where to go if he realized this wasn't Bonnie's house? and 2) The two monsters from last night were serving breakfast.

"Mornin' Andy!" Sully greeted heartily. "Glad to see you didn't get lost like last time."

Andy shook his head. "Yeah. Wait, what?"

"Breakfast is getting cold," Mike pointed out bitterly. "Eat up and we can get going."

The teen nodded and sat down. He was surprised to see a plate of waffles in front of him. Giving Sully a weird look, he shrugged it off and dug in to the amazingly delicious meal. Bonnie and Mary watched him excitedly from their seats, smiles nearly ripping their faces in half.

"Ready for today?" Bonnie asked, almost bouncing off her chair.

Andy looked up. "What?" he asked through a mouthful of waffle.

Mary giggled. "Sully and Mike are taking us to Monsters Inc. today!"

The teen almost choked on his food. "Monsters Inc.?" he asked, receiving two eager nods. "Uh, I don't know if I should-"

"You're coming and that's that," Sully stated firmly.

Andy cowered slightly. "Okay."

Mike still had a disgruntled attitude since the night before. He and Sully knew the dangers of a child in the factory since Mary's little incident a few years back. But she also wasn't the first child to enter the factory either.

"We need disguises!" Bonnie shouted excited.

Mary looked at Sully, her eyes shining with a question. The furry monster laughed and knelt beside her. She smiled when he said what she wanted to hear.

"We can use your old one again," Sully finally said.

Mary squealed and raced Bonnie up the stairs to start looking for their favorite monster disguises. Andy sat in shock. He was trying to convince himself that this was a dream, but soon realized he was wrong when Sully patted him on the back, hard.

"Yours is upstairs in my room," the furry monster said. "I'm sure you'll know which one."

Andy groaned and gave a thumb's up before rolling his shoulders and getting up. "I'll head up in a bit. I just got a few questions."

Mike glanced at the teen. "Shoot."

"Why do I recognize this place? How did I know where the kitchen was? And why do I think I've seen you two before?"

"At least he asked them like a normal person instead on a panicked little kid," Mike commented.

Sully rolled his eyes. "I can answer all of those at once: You've been here before. It was when you were younger than the girls."

Andy just stared blankly at Sully. He blinked. "Good enough for me." He stood and headed upstairs for his disguise.

Mike waited until the teen was out of earshot. "He took it better than I expected."

"Give him time Mike," Sully told his friend. "The kid's been through enough in the past. A few days here should help his memory before he heads back with the girls."

"Sure big guy," Mike agreed sarcastically. "Everything'll be just peachy like last time." He scowled. "It ain't happening. He won't remember."

"Mike, we gotta try," Sully tried. "He could protect the girls when we can't watch them here."

Mike sighs heavily. "It's not that. Sully, he's a teen. You remember what happened when we scared those adults in college?" Sully nods. "They were overwhelmed with our antics to make them scream. Think about Andy. He'll be overwhelmed by the amount of monsters. It won't be pretty."

Andy stood at the top of the stairs, thinking about the conversation he just heard. "They're right. I won't be able to handle it." He turned and looked for Sully's room.
