I do not own Monsters University or Monster's Inc. I only own Melanie.
Story Start
"See, this isn't so bad," Johnny said from his seat across from Melanie in the coffee shop. He took a sip from his coffee as he watched her glare down at her latte. "You know most girls would kill to be asked on a date by me," He said when she still wouldn't look at him.
"Full of himself, isn't he?" she thought as she held in the growl that she really wanted to give. With a sigh, she set down her latte and looked at him. "Then maybe you should ask one of those girls on a date instead, and anyways, this is not a date. This is just coffee," she said seriously.
Johnny froze for a moment before chuckling. "I've dated girls, plenty of girls who threw themselves at me, but I've never dated a girl who played hard to get," he said and rose an eyebrow when she growled at him.
Melanie leaned forward and growled, "I am not playing hard to get. I'm at this school to get a degree, make a few friends, and have some fun. I did not come here to go on dates with a guy, who is so full of himself that he enjoys picking on others."
Johnny's jaw dropped as he watched her grab some money out of her purse, throw it on the table, and leave the coffee shop. His mouth finally closed when he looked out the window and watched her fly away. He glared at the other coffee shop customers and employees, who were staring at him in surprise. They had never seen a girl turn him down before.
Johnny glared at her forgotten latte before walking up to the counter to pay for his coffee and go. However, on his way out of the shop he overheard one of the students from the doors department muttering something about Melanie. However, the student was not talking about how Melanie turned him down. She was talking about something else entirely, and he wanted to know what.
He put on his usual suave grin before making his way over to the student. It took a little to get her to get over fawning at his presence, but finally he was able to get her to tell him what she knew about Melanie.
"It happened last year during my door exam. A human came through the door into our world," the student started telling the story.
"An adult, not a child," he muttered while trying to hide his shock.
"She was an adult, not an old one, more like our age. The professors tried to keep her in the testing room but she escaped. The human ran into a lab when the CDA arrived to stop her. She scared the students, who were working with unstable chemicals. One student dropped a beaker or something holding chemicals, which caused a huge explosion. The human was affected by the explosion and she became a monster. The CDA took her away, and I never thought I would see her again," the student finished telling the story.
"And that human was the monster you just saw fly away?" he asked, even though it was difficult to ask. He heard about last year's incident, but he didn't realize it was all true.
"Yes, that's her. She's the human who became a monster. She's beautiful though. I wonder how she likes being a monster," the student muttered before wandering off when she saw that Johnny was lost in thought.
Johnny somehow made his way back to the fraternity house, but it was like he was in a fog. His fraternity brothers yelled things at him, but he ignored them as he made his way straight to his room. He locked the door, sat on the bed, and let out a noise of disbelief.
"No wonder she looks like no other monster I've ever seen. Also, now I know why she doesn't care about who I am, my name, or the fraternity I'm in. She doesn't know anything about this world, but she's a monster now. There cannot possibly be a way to turn her back into a human and send her home. I'm sure they shredded her door too," he talked to himself as he tried to accept all of the information he just found out.
Johnny glanced out his window before deciding that he needed some time to think about this before he talked to her again. He would not tell anyone about this new discovery because he did like her. She was the first girl to really turn him down and challenge him, but he didn't know how to feel and act after finding out she had been human.
Melanie flew back to her dorm and gasped when Alex pulled her into a tight hug.
"I was accepted into the sorority," Alex screamed before Melanie could ask what happened.
Melanie was frozen before a smile crossed her face. She hugged her roommate back and said, "That's great! I'm so happy for you."
Alex pulled back from Melanie and her smile was slowly disappearing.
"What's wrong?" Melanie asked while setting down her stuff.
Alex shuffled her feet, gave a big sigh, and then finally told Melanie what was bothering her. "I have to move into the sorority house, so I can't be your roommate anymore," she said softly as she looked down. She was afraid to see Melanie's reaction.
Melanie frowned when she saw Alex was slightly shaking. Putting on a big smile, she pulled Alex into another hug. "I'm not mad. I'm happy for you, and anyways we'll still be friends even after you move out," she said and smiled for real when Alex relaxed and returned the hug.
"Thanks, Melanie, you're a good friend," Alex whispered. "Now let's quit being sad and go celebrate," she cheered and the two monsters left the room to go celebrate Alex's achievement of joining a sorority.
