A/N: Renny: Uh...Nicky ain't here right now. Please leave a message after the beep. BEEP!

Me: Renny, cut it out, and UNTIE ME!

Renny: No. I'm saying the disclaimer.

Me: Fine.

Renny: Nicky doesn't own Monsters University! ON WITH THE STORY!

Me: Hey! That's my catch-

Hope's P.O.V.

The next day, my alarm went off, getting both Marie and I out of our beds. We both quickly did our morning routine, got our books and book bag, and then we ran out of our dorm towards the school. We walked together to the school, touching the large statue outside the school for (As my sister tells me) good luck. Kept walking together until we got to Marie's class, Astronomy 101, where we went our separate ways.

The room was almost empty, except for a monster or two who had shown up early. I walked around the room, looking at all the busts of amazing scarers. One of the busts was the Dean herself, who broke the all-time scare record with the scream in the scream canister that was in that very room. Then I sat down, looking around for Mike. I knew he would be in my class, since he was a scaring major too.

I just closed my eyes and hoped for the best. A few minutes later, I felt a tap on my hand. My eyes snapped open and I looked to my left. Mike had tapped me, alerting me he was there. "Heh," The red monster next to me chuckled at Mike.

"You gotta be kidding me," The purple monster next to the red monster said. I gave them both glares, but when they looked at me, I felt like I had shrunk by three feet. "I'm so nervous," A purple lizard monster whispered to Mike as the lizard monster sat in the extra chair in the empty chair next to Mike.

"Relax, it'll be fine," Mike reassured the monster.

"Good morning students!" The Professor announced, writing his name on the blackboard and, 'Scaring 101' under his name, "Welcome to Scaring 101. I am Professor Knight. Now I'm sure all of you were the scariest monster in your town…well bad news kids, you're in my town now and I do not scare easily."

Then the sunlight that was coming through a window was blocked by two enormous wings. Now, I had wings. Although my wingspan was only ten feet across, and these wings were at least double my wingspan. The monster flew down, and around the room, closing the curtains as the monster flew. The monster flew past Mike, the lizard monster, and I, and then landed behind Professor Knight.

The monster walked into the sunlight as she folded up her wings. Dean Hardscrabble. Gulp. "Dean Hardscrabble," Professor Knight said, addressing the Dean of Monsters University, "This is a…pleasant surprise." As she walked past me, I saw that the lower half of her body was like a giant centipede, the Scolopendra Gigantea.

"She's a legend," Mike whispered to his lizard friend and me, "She broke the all-time scare record with the scream in that very can." Just as he said that, the Dean adjusted her scream container.

"I don't mean to interrupt," Hardscrabble announced, "I just thought I'd drop by to see the terrifying faces joining my program." At this point, I was shaking. I had opened a book up and put it close to my face so no one could see my face.

"Well, I'm sure my students would love a few words of…inspiration," Professor Knight told her.

"Inspiration. Very well," The Dean agreed, though I doubted it would be more terrifying than inspirational for me, "Scariness is the true measure of a monster," She began to walk around the room. I could tell by the clicking of her legs hitting the tiles as she walked. "If you are not scary, what kind of a monster are you? It's my job to make great students greater. Not make mediocre students less mediocre. That is why at the end of the semester there will be a final exam. Fail that exam, and you are out of the scaring program." I had Art for my other major for that reason. Just in case I got kicked out of the scaring program. "So. I should hope you're all properly inspired," Hardscrabble's legs clicked against the floor, getting louder as she kept walking. Then the book I had was ripped out of my hands by the Dean herself. She gave me a cold glare and said, "Especially you, Miss Lawrence." She gave me my book back, extended her wings, and flew out of the classroom.

Everyone was whispering among themselves, and then Professor Knight said, "Alright, alright. Who can tell me the properties of an effective roar?" Mike raised his hand, putting it down, and standing up when Professor Knight said, "Yes?"

"There are actually, uh, five. Those include the roar's resonance, the duration of the roar, and the-,"

Mike was interrupted by a huge roar, which scared me just enough to fall out of my chair. I looked up at the entrance of the class and saw the silhouette of a monster just a few inches taller than me. I was probably at his nose if I stood up straight. "Whoop, sorry," The blue monster with purple spots apologized, though I doubted he was sorry, "I heard someone say roar so I just kinda went for it." He went in walked in a row of seats maybe two or three rows back from Mike, the lizard monster, and me. He said something I couldn't understand too well, and then to me, "I didn't mean to scare you there." He gave a small laugh, to which I frowned at.

"Very impressive," Professor Knight complemented, "Mr."

"Sullivan," The monster replied, "Jimmy Sullivan."

"Sullivan…Like, Bill Sullivan, the scarer?"

"Yeah, he's my dad," Sullivan gloated.

"I should have known," The professor said, "I expect big things from you."

"Well, you won't be disappointed," Sullivan told Professor Knight.

"Uh, I'm sorry. Sh-should I keep going?" Mike questioned.

"Nah, nah," Professor Knight waved at him to sit down, "Mister Sullivan's covered it."

Sullivan made one of those clicking sounds with his mouth, and Professor Knight said, "Everyone take out your scaring textbooks, and open them to chapter one. And Miss Lawrence?"

"Yeah?"

"Get in your seat."

"Yes sir," I quickly got up and got back into my seat.

"Hey, bub, can I borrow a pencil?" Sullivan asked a monster, "Forgot all my stuff." And on the first day too! I can't believe this guy!

I gave Mike a quick glance and saw he had the same look on his face that I had on my face, annoyance.

A/N: Renny: Can I say review too?

Me: Go ahead, and then start untying me! I've been like this for two hours! I need to use the bathroom!

Renny: Review! *Starts Untying Me*
