Well...this looked bigger in my word processor...but it's still the next chapter! Enjoy!
Mike and Sulley waved goodbye to Boo as she entered her door. As soon as she closed it, Sulley unplugged the door, making the red light turn off.
"That wasn't so bad, now what it?" Mike asked, taking the door out of the slot. The two of them went to Sulley's office. They opened the closet door and put Boo's door in it. It was Sulley's idea.
The two heard a knock on the door, and were surprised to see Celia and Elizabeth.
"Celia, you're a bit early," Mike said.
"I'm not! I always come this early!" Elizabeth exclaimed. Celia gave Elizabeth a small nudge. "Oh yeah! I need to talk to you two. Out here. Away from the office. Far away from the office. Really far away...like maybe in-"
"Yes, okay, we get it." Mike said, a little annoyed. Mike and Sulley followed Elizabeth away from the office, leaving Celia behind. She stepped into the office, but she paused when she heard a little whimper coming from her snakes. They were shaking their heads no.
"I know, but I have to," Celia said as she went through with Randall's plans.
"Why do you need to talk with us, Elizabeth?" Sulley asked.
"Um...I don't really know. Let's just talk. The sky is a very nice blue today!" Elizabeth said. Mike and Sulley exchanged confused glances.
"Elizabeth, we're very busy. Is there any other reason you wanted to talk?" Sulley asked.
"Well...no. Celia wanted me to talk to you, but she didn't say why. She just said she wanted you to be far from the office. I tried to ask her, but she looked really upset, and I didn't want to prod, because I don't like it when people are upset." Elizabeth quickly said.
"Wait...why would she be upset?" Mike asked. He tried to recall the past few days, but nothing out of the ordinary had happened. He felt a bit insulted to know Celia had a problem, but she didn't even tell him what was wrong. "She never looked upset around me...unless she's hiding something! Celia doesn't want to get married! How could I be so blind!"
"Mike...I think you're right," Sulley said, heading back to the closet.
"Wha? What kind of friend are you? You're supposed to comfort me, not agree with me!" Mike exclaimed, trying to catch up to Sulley's long strides.
"I think she's hiding something." Sulley said.
Mike rolled his eye. "Will you just stop being suspicious? Celia wouldn't do anything bad!"
"I hope you're right." Sulley said.
The office looked the same as it was when Sulley and Mike left it. Celia was gone. Sulley went through desk drawers, trying to see if anything was taken, but everything was in order. Maybe Mike was right. Maybe he was just worrying too much.
"Hey, Sull, is there a light to this closet?" Mike asked, opening the closet door. Sulley felt around for a light switch on the inside wall of the closet. "This is a mess!"
"Where's Boo's door!" Sulley exclaimed. The two stared in awe. Boo's door was defiantly gone, and Celia must have took it, but why? What would she possibly want with a little girl?
"Celia didn't do it!" Mike exclaimed. "It's all a coincidence. I'll just talk to her, and we'll sort this out. It's all a big misunderstanding."
Sulley walked further into the closet. He had to duck to get himself fully into it. He kept bumping his feet into papers and other pieces of junk left on the floor. He hadn't cleaned it out since Waternoose left. He came to a big metal door in the back of the closet. He turned to see Mike still ranting.
"Hey, Mike. You were right again." Sulley said. "It has to be a misunderstanding. I think she was after the banishment door."
They're on to Celia. Dun dun dun!
