What was now Laugh Floor F was where Mike, Sulley, Laura and Laura's assistant entered and they looked to see where Mike and Laura would be working as on field 'jokesters' from now on. "Doesn't look that much different; you could barely notice that anything has happened in the last week at all... I tell you that the faculty team have done wonders making this place feel at home while going for the new MO of MIT!" Mike then cheered out as Laura looked up and saw the green 'LAUGH' sign and gave a smile as she put down her bag of comedy props.
"Yes; Uncle Friz and his team really worked hard and it shows." Laura said smiling thinking that maybe it will be easier to adjust to than before.
"Plus with my Darling Night working on this Laugh Floor with me; we can brainstorm ideas better than if we hadn't had you transferred! Thanks for that Celia!" Mike then said pointing to Laura and then waving to Celia who put a tentacle up as if a thumbs up. "Plus here is my new assistant Fungus!" Mike then said as Fungus came over in a rush and this got Laura's interest.
"Mike, Sulley... I just want to say that thanks for giving me another chance after what happened..." Fungus then said as Mike then urgently went to him and put his arm around his body and Sulley looked tense as Laura looked a bit suspicious.
"No worries Fungus; we didn't need those documents that you accidentally spilt coffee over!" Mike then shouted out and then gave Fungus an eye as Laura came over.
"Fungus? You're working with Mike now... Say do you know where Randall is? I wonder what he has to say about this change..." Laura then asked as Fungus looked nervous as Mike coughed. Laura then folded up her arms as she stared more intently. "I am wondering as... I can't really say more..." Laura then asked thinking that it wasn't her place to say that Monnie was worried about Randall as that was her worries to share.
"Well we did try and call him during the weekend but he didn't pick up and I don't think that he called into work... Sorry Laura..." Sulley then said as Laura looked like she didn't quite buy it but eyed then as she then went to get her stuff ready.
"You two have to tell her..." Celia then said as Mike then put on a show of thinking it over.
"You know what... We should have room to tell her from... The 7th of Never through the 15th of Ain't Gonna Happen!" Mike then whispered as he suddenly looked serious.
"She should know and the others should know... You know that Monnie is still one of her best friends..." Sulley then said Mike as he folded up his arms.
"Are you two kidding... Do you have any idea how they are gonna react... How Laura... She only ever knew Randall as her friend and brother figure... She never saw him as your rival Sulley and I didn't know how seriously he took it and how resentful he was... I still thought that we were friends but what he got mixed with and we don't know where he is... We just have to "let them forget about him... Give it like 6 months..." Mike then whispered as Sulley then raised his eyebrows and crossed his arms.
"Mike; you have had some stupid ideas but this really takes it... You expect everyone to just forget about Randall..." Sulley asked as before Mike could offer a retort there was the sound of cannisters and they looked at a nearby pile and a tall long horned purple monster was standing there with clipboards at his horns.
"Did Ms Flint send you?" Mike asked feeling that the monster looked familiar and the monster said that he saw her earlier. "Well lets get this monster a door since if this monster is Flint approved..." Mike then said excitedly for seeing a new jokester in action (as well as a distraction from that conversation).
A door was set up with Fungus helping to set up the cannister as Mike then went up to Laura; "A new on field jokester all set already for this new age with new jobs... You know I was thinking that since we are big important company people now; we should have our own new company car all for Laura and I..." Mike then suggested with a grin to Sulley and Laura as Laura looked amused but Sulley just stared.
"The power at your head already Mike?" Laura asked as they didn't notice behind them the kid from the door had ran out screaming and was being chased by the monster. They then heard crashing and they turned and saw the apologetic monster and they looked at the kid at a corner kneeling down crying.
"WHAT? Another kid loose in here... On our first days... Oh man; we are gonna be laughing stocks for sure... Sure we want to make laughs but not from monsters at us..." Mike then yelled as Laura hesitatingly walked towards the kid and then saw that the kid was crying which tug at her heartstrings.
"Hello... It's alright... I am not gonna hurt you..." Laura then said softly putting on a smile and thinking off something; she then did her finger stretching her mouth bit that she was practicing during the weekend and the kid noticed and started giggling. She then smiled as she then sat next to him and put her wing around him slowly and he ended up cuddling up to her. "Wow... You realy are not toxic to touch at all... I'm Laura; what's yours?" Laura then asked giggling as the kid then smiled up at her.
"Miguel." the kid answered as Laura stood up and picked Miguel up into her arms.
"Well Miguel; let's get you home to bed." Laura then said as Mike and Sulley just stared.
"At least this is getting solved soon but man... Wouldn't Laura make a great Mum..." Mike asked as Sulley then slowly formed a smirk and directed it to Mike. Mike then jumped realising what he was implying then said "No go repeating this to anyone... Last year Laura's mother brought up when we are having kids or even marrying when I was at her parents' place and I had to think off my feet to get out of the conversation and I deal with that topic enough from my own mother as it is..."
Laura came out of the door and Fungus yelled for the shredder as there was a cough from the purple monster at they stared at him as he had his head down; "I am really sorry... Mr Sullivan and Mr Wazowski... I wasn't really assigned as a jokester but this was my first day and... You will never have to deal with me again..." the monster said apologetically.
"Hold on... You're Tylor Tuskmon who broke my record at the scare simulator... Professor Knight told me about you and I reccomended you to Waternoose..." Sulley then said smiling and Mike realised who he remembered him from.
"Thanks Mr Sullivan but... I'm scary and not funny... I took this chance and I blew it... I should be out of your hear..." Tylor then said as Mike then ran up to his side.
"You know you remind me of someone... Someone who dreamed off being a top scarer and when he got to Monsters University... Just about everyone told him that he didn't have what it takes because he's not scary... But after he got expelled along with his best friend; they started at the bottom in the company from the mail room and worked their way up... Up to the Scare Floor and now running this company... If we can make it... Don't sell yourself short just yet Mr Tuskmon... You keep at your assigned position and wait for your chance to try out and show your funny bone..." Mike then told him encouragingly as Sulley then gave a big smile and Laura joined them.
"You really think that I could learn to be a jokester..." Tylor asked hopefully as they then nodded.
"Everything is possible as I said... Learn... You know you could be onto something... Special comedy classes to help scarers become jokesters with me as head professor..." Mike then said grinning as Tylor then took Mike and Sulley's hands to shake.
"Thank you sirs... I won't let you down and if it's laughter you're after then I will be ready to bring it when I can!" Tylor then said as he then faced Laura. "It's an honor Ms Sharp; I was 10 when you first started out as a scarer and I got your Card as soon as it came out..." Tylro then said as Laura then gave a bigger smile.
"Welcome to Monsters Inc Tylor and don't fret about feeling that you don't belong in the new direction or being stuck at another position for as my dad always said... Every monster is special! I am sure you will find your way here soon enough!" Laura then said encouraging as Tylor nodded and left.
"He gave me another great idea... It's Laughter We're After! Our new slogan!" Mike then said with a big grin as Sulley rolled his eyes.
"So... The warm nice feeling when the kid wasn't scared of you... Was it like you with Boo?" Laura then whispered to Sulley who put his head down but then gave a thumbs up and Laura decided to leave it alone for now.
It was noon as the announcement was officially made to the public about Monster Inc's change towards Laugh Power and reporters were invited to the inside of the facility for a statement from Sulley revealed as the new CEO with Mike there interjecting as the new SCPOMICE-VDADOCREM.
"Mike and I came up with this new revolutionary idea together and we are confident that it's towards a better future for the company and those that rely on us..." Sulley said as Mike then grinned at the camera.
"We may not scare but we still care and pretty soon; Monsters Inc will be better than ever and I think that the other scare companies should just call it quits if they want to persist like for instance..." Mike said as Sulley gave him a look.
There was a statement from Laura who coughed and read off her written paper "a more humane and efficient way to power our city and resolve the energy crisis; from fear to joy and all around fun... That's how this will be done..." It was cut off before Laura could ask the camera crew what they thought of the pun that she came up with.
Plenty of sceptical monsters watching this live tuned in but there was a group of female monsters who were at work when they got the news alert and were surprised by the news but the new bosses at Monsters Inc; the female monsters while not together at the moment thought that they should see to their former sorority leader about all this change.
Including those watching the broadcast was Johnny and Claire at one of the TV monitors at the the FearCo building. "Laughter... That's their big plan to fix the energy crisis and save their sinking ship? That's the dumbest idea I have ever heard... Makes sense that Wazowski helped come up with it... I mean monsters are scary; they are not supposed to be funny... This is against nature..." Johnny commented with a laughter as Claire had her eyes widened as she then took out her phone. "Plus why did they think that it was a good idea to put those 2 in charge... They got expelled from MU... After Sullivan embarrassed ROR with falling behind in grades to Wazkowski and then getting kicked out of the program... Then they cheated and now this?" Johnny then said looking a bit bitter.
"Well... At least enough monsters are giving this new clean energy a chance for the stock to go back... Probably helps with that they have 2 famous scarers publicly backing it including the company's last scare holder who holds the biggest record in the city..." Claire then informed him and Johnny then snatched his wife's phone to see that the stock was going back up which had him glaring.
"How did Wazowski and Sullivan rope Laura into this... So beautiful and fierce and scary... She shouldn't be wasting her stuff trying to make brats laugh... Is there a better monster..." Johnny then commented and there was a fake cough as Johnny saw that Claire was glaring at him with her arms folded. "Apart from you off course my dear... Let's prepare for this little charade to blow up in their faces..." Johnny then corrected himself as he put his hand on his shoulder.
"Can I have it back; you know I have my schedule on that... Including events and birthdays... Including mine which is not far off but I am sure that you already knew..." Claire told him getting her phone back.
It was the end of the work day at Monsters Inc and as the monsters left still trying to wrap their heads around the new order of things at the company; Tylor himself was thinking of his new position at MIFT and his desire to make it as a jokester when the time comes. He hoped that he could get himself pumped and get confident enough when that chance comes as to not repeat what happened earlier.
He noticed a discarded newspaper on the ground and picked it up and found a big ad showing a large muscular bird monster in a suit pointing to the camera with a big smile. The advertisement was for 'BROCK PEARSON: MOTIVATIONAL & INSPIRATIONAL SPEAKER!' This could help him...
According to a wiki the kid from the first episode is called Miguel and thanks again for the ideas from Cartuneslover16 and I really appreciate it. Plus there is a certain line here from the first episode of Lucifer. Plus was there any better job for Brock to end up with as I thought off myself?
