A/N: Thanks for the reviews. Especially from the author of "Inside The Field" himself/herself (I didn't check the gender of this author). In the last chapter, Dean Hardscrabble and Prof. Dubinsky are planning deal with "them" tonight. First, they got to find a way to get everybody on campus to get as far away as possible from Monsters University.
"Are you sure? I mean what if no one will buy it?" Prof. Dubinsky asked worriedly.
"They will. Just look at some of the students. They are beginning to roast in this blistering summer heat." Dean Hardscrabble said while looking outside. She spotted some students who look tired, sweaty, weak, and/or in need of a break from studying in the heat.
"Good point." Mr. Dubinsky said. He starts thinking and adds, "But what if some students would rather stay and continue on their studies?"
"What sort of average college student would want to stay?" Dean Hardscrabble answered his question with a question.
"Well, I read a file about a student, Michael Wazowski. Perhaps you've heard of him?"
"Oh, how could I forget about that one-eyed cretin I kicked out of the Scare Program?" Dean Hardscrabble sarcastically asked.
"Well, from the past months. He's been getting good grades in his studies. And he once told me that he'll study harder, so that he can become the school's top scarer and nothing will faze him." Prof. Dubinsky asked worriedly.
"Well, if there are idiots like Mr. Wazowski who would rather stay, I suppose we should dust off the old tranq guns just in case." Dean Hardscrabble said.
"Where would put them if they were tranquilized?" Prof. Dubinsky asked.
"Hmmm... Good point. There aren't many secure and stable areas." Dean Hardscrabble turned around as she asked Prof. Dubinsky with a devious smile, "You still have those live paper-eating pet locusts?"
"Oh no. I knew it. I knew this day would come. I knew you would plan something diabolical against me and my babies." Prof. Dubinsky said worriedly.
"Oh, calm down, Professor Dubinsky, my plan isn't diabolical. It's strategic and likely to convince everyone on campus to leave." Dean Hardscrabble said.
"But, my babies-" Prof. Dubinsky was about to say somethinb when Dean Hardscrabble cut his words.
"Which lives are more important? Your locusts also known as your precious 'babies' or millions of monsters in this university?" Dean Hardscrabble asked in a serious tone.
Prof. Dubinsky sits silently as he sighs and replies, "Alright, give me some time and a truck, and I'll bring them here."
"Good. Tell the delivery men to borrow their truck." Dean Hardscrabble said as Prof. Dubinsky left her office.
As soon as she was alone, she opened a drawer and takes out a silver pocketwatch and an old black-and-white picture of a dragon monster with one wing. She stares at picture for a moment until tears wells up from her eyes. She opens the pocketwatch that has a quote etched on it next to the watch.
"If you are strong and smart, then the impossible has no meaning." Reading those words made Dean Hardscrabble burst into tears as lie her head on her desk and cries.
Few hours later, all of the students, faculty, and staff are gathered outside of the School of Scaring. There's a podium placed on the stairs leading to the school. Dean Hardscrabble swoops down on the stairs and descends towards the podium. She taps on the microphone to test if it was working.
"Greetings, students. As you may have noticed, locusts appeared out of nowhere and started infested half of the campus. So, in conclusion, Pest Control will arrive later to deal with them. But since there are many of those pests, the whole university will be isolated and fumigated for a long time." Dean Hardscrabble announced. A lot of murmuring is made from the crowd.
"Not to worry, everyone, because I have good news that I know you all will love to hear. When the fumigation starts, I want everybody to... have a summer vacation." Dean Hardscrabble announced, waiting for the crowds response.
"What!?" "No way! Is she serious!?" "Did I do way too much meth or is she for real!?" "This is so wrong, yet it's so right!" Dean Hardscrabble could many reactions from the students, especially from the faculty. But she was serious as Dean Hardscrabble continues on, "Yes. Yes. I know it may sound strange. But I thought you all deserve a break and enjoy this summer. So, go pack up your things and... have fun."
The crowd cheers loudly. They were overjoyed that they could have a summer vacation during college. Some think it's impossible, but it happened. Suddenly, Dean Hardscrabble spread her wings to full span as she yelled, "SILENCE EVERYBODY!" It caught everybody's attention as they settled down.
"Let me finish." Dean Hardscrabble said as she clears her throat, "That doesn't mean that you should have fun for the whole vacation. Final midterms will starts soon followed by the Great Scare Games. So, students, fraternities, and sororities, prepare because you will be back here in two months. That is all." Dean Hardscrabble's announcement was over as she flew away.
Few minutes later, Mike Wazowski walks to his dorms feeling really excited a little and very confused. "That was completely weird. Why would the Dean be nice enough to give us all a vacation. Geez, I thought she would just take our classes outside and sleep in motels." Mike thought.
He suddenly spotted a familiar medusa-like pink monster with short violet snakes for hair and one green eye. She's wearing a purple dress under a green vest. It's Celia Mae, business major and Mike's crush ever since he came to this university. She notices him as she approaches the small, green cyclops monster.
"There you are, Mike. I was looking for you." Celia said.
"Y-You were looking f-for me?" Mike asked, feeling like he was gonna be on cloud 9. Right now, he's in cloud 7 or cloud 5 just be sure.
"Yeah. Claws wanted to know if you're gonna come with us. We're going to the beach in Jawsfield." Celia said.
"Wait, Claws?" Mike suddenly snapped back to reality. "As in Claws Ward?"
"Yeah. You two were friends since high school right? He said you were a lot nerdy back then." Celia said as she softly giggles about what Claws told her.
"He said that. Thanks a lot, Claws." Mike thought while rolling his eye in his mind.
"So, are you gonna come?" Celia asked, waiting for Mike's answer.
"Y-Yeah. Yeah. I'll totally come with you." Mike was very excited that he could barely contain it because Celia is gonna join them.
"Great. Claws will be outside waiting for you. Make sure you pack up your stuff for the trip." Celia said as she left.
As soon as she was gone, Mike let it all out and says, "Yes. Yes. Yes. Score. Score. Score. I finally have a shot with Celia." Mike run back to his room and starts packing.
Meanwhile, in the ROR frat house, the brothers of Roar Omega Roar are packing their stuff. Randy, who isn't wearing his anything, is the first one to finish as he descends to the living room while carrying a red backpack. He spots Chet Alexander, who's now wearing blue MU cap, packing some food from kitchen into his suitcase.
"Uhhh... Hey, Chet, isn't weird that the Dean would give us a vacation? I mean, why would there be a summer vacation in college?" Randall approached the one-eyed crab monster and asked him.
"Gee, I don't really know, Rand. It is weird, but I'm not complaining. I love vacations." Chet said excitedly.
"This vacation's gonna rule." "Yeah, I can't wait." Randy heard Javier Rios and Chip Goff excitedly exclaimed as they entered the living room. Chip was wearing a yellow Hawaiian shirt with red flowers and orange swim trunks. Javier was wearing a black tank top, blue swim trunks, and two pairs of sunglasses (cos', you know, guy's got four eyes).
"Hey, guys, you got the stuff ready?" Chet asked Javier and Chip from the kitchen.
"Yeah, I've got the cooler and my board." Javier said, showing them a green cooler and a yellow and black surfboard
"And I've got the beach ball and the grill." Chip said, showing them a beach ball with different colors and a red portable grill.
"Dudes, I'm totally stoked. I can't wait to party my ass off once we get there." Javier said excitedly as he gave Chip a high-five.
"Where are we going anyways?" Randall asked.
"Well, Randy..." Reggie Jacobs entered the kitchen through the basement door while dragging a large metal beer keg. He's wearing an unbuttoned blue shirt. "We are... going to... Britney Davis's... summer manor... in Shriekerly Hills..." Reggie said between grunts and breathes because he's dragging a really heavy keg of beer to the garage.
"Yeah, all of the fraternities and sororities are gonna spend the whole vacation there." Chet added.
"Come on, what are we waiting for let's get this stuff in Johnny's RV!" Chip exclaims as all of the ROR brothers went to the garage, leaving behind Reggie who is still struggling with the keg.
"Uhhh... guys? A little help here?"
Outside of the dorms, Mike exits the doors while carrying a blue backpack and suitcase. He sees a familiar blue crocodile-like monster with purple eyes, sharp yellow claws, pointy fangs, and purple scale plates running down from the back of his head to his tail. He's wearing a black Fear Tech cap backwards. It's Claws Ward, Mike's best friend during high school.
"Hey, Claws. Hey." Mike called out while waving his hand in the air, trying to get his attention.
"Oh. Hey, Wazowski. How's it hangin'?" Claws greeted Mike with a smile and a friendly handshake as he blew large pink bubble that popped and chew it again. It looked he was eating gum.
"Just fine." Mike said as he noticed the black cap Claws is wearing. "You're from Fear Tech, aren't you?"
"All right. Ya got me, bud." Claws raised his clawed hands and admitted that he's a student of Monsters University's rival school.
"What are you doing here anyways?" Mike asked.
"Well... The rumors about MU students taking a summer vacation reached Fear Tech. It spread so fast and wide like wildfire. So, I thought, 'Hey, why not skip a few classes and just fun with my ol' buddies who are in my rival school?'." Claws admitted.
"Playing hooky as usual, huh?" Mike snickered. Claws always had a habit of skipping and cutting classes during their elementary years up to now.
"Yep, old habits die hard, my friend." Claws said while patting his best friends back as they walked to the parking lot.
Claws tells him that he's gonna drive his friends to Jawsfield. Mike was absolutely excited because he gets to spend two months with Celia Mae. He is fantasizing about himself with Celia, doing romantic stuff. Around the corner, he sees Claw's car, a blue 1967 Shelby GT500 muscle car. He spots Celia checking her purse as Mike stares at her. Suddenly, Mike is absolutely devastated as his train of fantasies have been wrecked of the tracks. He sees James P. Sullivan passes through Celia and packs his stuff inside Claws's car trunk.
Mike grabs Claws's hand as he drags him back around the corner and says in a loud whispery voice, "What the hell is Sullivan doing there?"
"I invited him. He seems like a nice guy. Plus he's funny. Yesterday, he told me a joke that literally squirted my soda out of my nose. Hahaha." Claws laughed at that memory.
"Ok, I get it. I don't need flashbacks. But why?" Mike asked.
"Why not? He's a pretty good guy. I don't see what's wrong with him." Claws shrugged, thinking that Sulley's no threat.
"It's because of him, I got kicked out of the Scare Program!" Mike almost yelled, but tried to maintain his tone.
"No. It's because of your looks, no offense, and the Dean that got you kicked out. George told me what happened." Claws paused for a moment as he sighed. He kneels down on one knee and says, "Look, I know you and Sulley have issues in the past. But I just want to have a great time with my best friends. That includes you Mike. Please come with us." Claws put his hands together as if he was praying to whatever god he believed in.
"I'm not going because that lump of hairball is coming. And that's that." Mike said as he crossed his arms.
He gives Sulley an angry glare that says 'I hate that lazy furball'. But then, he swifts his gaze to Celia. Just watching her movement made Mike's heart go boom boom. Claws notice something strange about Mike as he looks at where Mike's one eye is looking. He realizes that Mike was staring at Celia. He looks back at Mike and notices that the cyclops monster is blushing. Insantly, an idea strikes Claws's brain like lightning as a smile curves from his lips. He knows exactly what to say to convince Mike to go with him.
"Look, Mike, I'm just gonna shoot straight, ok? If you don't come with me and my buds, you'll ruin your chance to make Celia your beloved wife in the future." Hearing what Claws said made Mike blush even more as he looked at him. Claws continues on, "So, I'll cut to chase, Wazowski. Go with me and my friends to Jawsfield or stay here, do nothing, and never find happiness in your future."
Mike was about to say something, but he was thinking about what Claws said. He sighs as he says, "Fine. I'll go with you guys. Man, you always know the right words to convince people."
"It's a gift." Claws said as they walked towards his car to finish packing some stuff into it. Sulley spotted Mike putting his stuff into the car's boot.
"What are you doing here, Wazowski!?" Sulley asked while giving him an angry glare.
"Save it, Sullivan. Claws invited me because I'm his best friend during our high school years. I'm only coming along just for him." Mike made his point straight while giving Sullivan an angry glare as well.
A/N: Looks like Dean Hardscrabble's plan to get everyone to leave worked. Everyone is packing up their stuff now and is preparing to leave. Oh and to the author of "Inside the Field", it was Claws Ward! I can't believe you didn't know. He's a blue crocodile-like monster and he cries like in the first movie where he cried because a kid nearly touched him and during the company play where he got cries to one Mike's songs because it was emotional. More to come soon, people. Please Read and Review.
