Ok. There were some mix-ups in the first chapter, and I shall clear them all up. I did a half-ass rewrite of the chapter before I put it online, so that's where the confusion came from. There were no banishment doors in the first chapter. Fungus used a regular door to get Randall, same way that Mike and Sulley went through closets to get in and out of the monster world.


Randall walked around the dark creaky scare floor. Most of the lights were broken, and the ones that worked casted spooky shadows along the walls and broken windows. The windows that weren't boarded up let in the moon, creating even more shadows. He seemed to be at home with something this scary. He seemed almost at peace.

"This place...is perfect," Randall said to himself, and it was perfect. Every evil lair needed to be spooky and looking evil.

"So, what's the master plan, boss?" Fungus asked.

"The plan?" Randall asked. He was surprised that he couldn't remember the plan very well- after all, he was obsessed with his plan for years. "I'll remember it later."

"You mean you've been gone for this long, and you don't even have a plan?" A second partner added asked, sounding annoyed.

"Try being pelted with a shovel every night and then remember something important!" Randall retorted. "Knowing me, I've probably gotten brain damage."

Fungus felt a fight brewing, so he decided to intervene. "Guys, guys! Can you argue later? Besides, what are we supposed to do?"

"Wait until the brain-damaged genius thinks of a plan," the other monster said in a sigh. She sounded a lot more passive when she sighed. It seemed so out of place to hear her sweet voice sounding so angry. It was obvious she really didn't want to be here.

"Well, in order to get a good plan, one must have a goal," Fungus said. He cautiously looked up at Randall, wondering if he would get stroked. "Um...do you have a goal?"

"Of course I have a goal!" Randall snapped at his old scaring partner. "I know I wanted to find the kid."

"The human kid?" Fungus asked, still wondering if humans were toxic.

"No, some random monster kid- of course the human kid!" Randall said, making Fungus let out a scream. He ran behind the other monster's tentacle-like legs for protection.

"But, Randall, humans and monsters aren't supposed to be together," she said, glancing behind herself to see Fungus. "You know that just as well as I do. I didn't even wanted to be dragged into helping you, and I really don't want to break any laws. We could get in trouble."

"It's not really a law," Randall said, ignoring everything else that she said. "It's more of a warning for everyone at the factory, not every single monster, since we're the only ones that can access kids. And besides, it's just one harmless kid."

"Why...you're not going to hurt her, are you?" She asked, her voice sounding passive again.

"Hurt her? Why, of course not!" Randall chuckled at her exclamation. "Celia, don't be silly. I just want her to show her that I'm not a bad monster. Those few years in the swamp has changed me."

"Changed?" Celia asked, putting her hands on her hips. Her Medusa-like hair began to hiss at his carefree response. "I heard that you wanted to take the screams from her- from every kid, and you expect me to change?" Her snakes began to hiss louder, and if they weren't connected to Celia's head, they would have tried to attack Randall. "And five seconds ago you were letting at us."

"Celia," Randall said, trying to sound as nice as possible. He even added in a smile that made him look like a different monster. "I promise that that little girl will be perfectly fine. I can promise you that I will not touch her." Celia still didn't look like she believed him, but she didn't say anything as a response. Randall added in under his breath, "I always keep my promises."


Sorry for the shortness. Buddi suggested the Celia thing and I just went with it.
