Plus, I get to write more about my feelings towards the character, so I'm pretty happy about doing this! Hope you enjoy my latest project and see my love for Randall come out!

~Monsters University: The Beast Roars~

This was just the start of things. A blast of confetti erupted from his head spout as he grabbed his bags, sprouting two more arms at the same time, with some monsters gasping in surprise upon seeing two extra arms pop out from the furry monster's body.

"Haven't even reached my dorm yet and I've got the dudes all gawking at me! Cool!" giggled Brandon to himself, the grin plastered across his face, not leaving as his glowing supernatural yellow eyes roamed around the campus, seeing the numerous monsters all here to begin their lot in life.

"Strange little guy, isn't he? Having four arms must be cool though." came the voice of a small yellow monster, seeing Brandon's display of his abilities. "Must be a legend at playing video games."

"I think he's kinda cute." said a girl monster, putting her makeup on. "The blues and purples really look good on him."

The monster had small square-like furry body, with magenta-colored lips with three sharp teeth sticking out, dark pink arms and legs, his body is a mix of blue, indigo, purple, and cyan, he's got two dark purple horns atop his furry head, a big mess of thick blue hair, a blue furry tail with three dark purple spikes on it, and yellow eyes.

He was already starting to standout among his peers. Brandon was pretty happy about that, as happy and nutty as he is, he's really excited to try his hand at scaring some human children and becoming one of the big Scarers that'll really get kids all frightened and screaming.

Brandon's a Beast, a very powerful and nearly extinct subspecies of monster that came from a realm separate from the Monster World known simply as the Beast World, the home of his kind. Back many years ago, Beasts were just as plentiful as their monster cousins, but due to insanity and infighting, most of his kind had died out, with the remaining members immigrating into the Monster World, with his family settling into Monstropolis.

"Aw, you're pretty cute too, you know? But not my type. Still you deserve a cupcake!" laughed Brandon, happily sticking his tongue out and blasting a single cupcake from his head spout, as it landed the monster girl's hands. "Don't worry, it's safe to eat."

The monster girl thanked him for the cupcake, as Brandon went on his way, exploring the place to become his home and of course, getting to see all the other monsters he's gonna meet here. Brandon shot another blast of confetti, the thought of making all sorts of friends and getting to enjoy the college life just fueled his excitement, making him like a kid giddy to open his Christmas presents.

"The lunchroom better have lots and lots of food to handle my wild appetite!" Brandon looked around, as he enters the lunchroom, seeing all the food ready to be devoured and make his four stomachs happy.

"Well, now, you certainly seem more happy about the food then actually acing through work." said a voice from behind, with Brandon turning to see a small green beach ball of a horned monster with a single green eye and sporting a retainer in his mouth, looks like he's got lots and lots of stuff to unpack too.

"Well, what do we have here, a comedian, I bet! Wass up?!" Brandon giggled, flashing the monster a friendly smile, sprouting sixteen extra arms from his body. "Give me twenty, little dude!"

"I'll give you one and seriously? You got that many arms?! What I wouldn't give to have all those arms, make doing my assignments a breeze." awed Mike, amazed by the furry monster's multiple arms. "Anyway, nice to meet you, I'm Mike Wazowski, Scaring Major." He introduced himself, shaking one of the hands.

"Nice to meet you, Mike. Brandon Beast's the name, don't wear it out!" laughed Brandon, shaking Mike's hand, as he let his extra arms retract back into his body. "And I'm happy about the food cuz' at least it's yummier than the garbage served back in high school! Yuck!"

Chuckling, Mike found Brandon pretty funny and a little strange, though his multiplying arms was certainly something cool. His eyes were practically glowing, they had an almost haunting and supernatural feel to them, though Brandon's expressions showed how friendly of a monster he is and Mike could only smile back at him.

"The food does look nice. But are you here to major in Scaring too?" blinked Mike, a little surprised that something so cute and innocent looking would consider wanting to go into a career of scaring human kids.

"And just like that, you answered the sixty-four thousand dollar question, Mike Wazowski! I'm really gonna show off how scary I can be, with a blast of confetti from my head spout when I'm excited!" giggled Brandon, sticking his tongue out as he jumped around Mike excitedly.

Okay, Brandon's pretty goofy and weird, though he wasn't off putting at the same time. Tipping his MU off cap to him, Brandon winked at him playfully and laughed, as he shot another burst of confetti out, followed by lots and lots of cupcakes from his head spout, catching the other monsters attention as they saw cupcakes and confetti erupt from Brandon's head spout.

"You shot cupcakes out from your head too?! Where does all this even come from?!" questioned Mike, shocked by what he's even seeing. This defied all things rational, there was no way this could be happening.

"I do not know, Mike. It's all part of my nutty and vastly unknown body, even to me. Just something we Beasts have." revealed Brandon, giggling as cutely and innocently as possible, his tongue hanging out.

A Beast. Mike remembered hearing stories about Beasts from his mother when he was little, she spoke of them being incredible creatures that are extremely powerful and all of them have very strange powers, some of them bordering on the supernatural. Blinking a few times, Mike stared back at Brandon in awe, amazed by what he's seeing.

"You're a Beast...? But I thought the Beasts were wiped out years ago." questioned Mike, shocked that he's actually in the presence of such a powerful and crazy creature. "If I was majoring in science, I could spend an entire career studying your biology."

"Most Beasts are gone, but some did survive. My parents survived and came to Monstropolis before I was born. I've lived here my whole life." revealed Brandon, looking back at Mike and smiling a bit.

How awesome. Mike's actually in the presence of a Beast, a creature he thought were long since extinct. His personally was unique, but even more so, his powers were unlike anything he'd seen, heck, he could barely comprehend them. Cupcakes and confetti blasting from his head, multiple arms he could stretch, and a big appetite. What else could he do?

Mike was about to ask, but he saw Brandon getting some food from the cafeteria, getting eight bowls of spaghetti, as he looked on shocked. Brandon sprouted back his multiple arms and grabbed eight forks, before diving into the spaghetti like it nothing, devouring everything he'd gotten in mere minutes, before letting out a loud burp and sighing.

"Whoa..." was all Mike could utter upon seeing Brandon eating that much food.

"I love to eat me some spaghetti!" squealed Brandon, licking the sauce from his lips and letting out another burp.

Then, to further shock and awe everybody, Brandon stuck his tail into a soda bottle and drunk the contents through his furry tail, letting out another burp. Okay, that was pretty gross, but at the same time, he could drink beverages through his tail?

Some monsters were in awe and thought it was cools, others either found it weird or were grossed out, particularly the girl monsters. Brandon didn't really seem bothered by it, laughing as he grabbed an apple and devoured it like it was nothing, letting out another burp and giggling.

"Have you gotten enough to eat, my hungry little friend?" questioned Mike.

"Please this was just an appetizer, I can eat fifty-seven course meals and lots and lots of dessert and my four stomachs are still wanting more food." giggled Brandon, laughing as he walks back over to the smaller green monster.

Mike and Brandon left the lunchroom to continue exploring the campus, finding their way outside as they made causal small talk. They saw many monsters promoting their various clubs and stuff, some of them sounded interesting and others were kinda lame. They walked together, as Brandon took out his walk-monster and put his headphones in, listening to some music.

"MU's Greek Council, we sponsor the annual Scare Games." said a goth monster with grey skin and flippers for feet, catching Mike's attention as he grabbed Brandon by his arm and yanked his headphones out.

"Hey, what the heck are you doing, Mike?!" yelped Brandon, grabbing his headphones, as the smaller monster drags them back towards one of the club tables.

"The Scare what now?" questioned Mike, grabbing a flyer from the table.

"The SCARE GAMES! A super intense scaring competition!" boomed another monster that goes by Brock Pearson.

"They're crazy dangerous, anything can happen." revealed Claire Wheeler.

"A bunch of guys went to the hospital last year!" revealed Brock, as Claire gave a darkening warning about the games. "You could totally die."

As Brock went on about it being the ultimate chance to prove you're the best, Brandon and Mike looked at the flyer, with Mike awestruck, while Brandon was a little bit uninterested by it, rolling his eyes and chuckling to himself.

"Die? Sounds about as crazy as it can get. But I don't need a competition to show that I can be scary." smirked Brandon, catching Mike's attention, as Claire and Brock looked at the furry creature beside Mike.

"I wouldn't chance it, the Scare Games aren't for the faint and you don't look like you have it cut out for scaring." remarked Claire, as Brandon merely only smirked even more and giggled.

Deciding to act, Brandon jumped and opened his mouth, unleashing a frightening Beast Roar, pink waves of energy shooting from his mouth and striking both monsters, as they were transformed into baby versions of themselves, causing every other monster present to freeze.

"I can tear the very fabric of space-time with my Beast Roar!" Brandon replied, before using another Beast Roar to transform them back to normal, as Brock and Claire blinked in confusion and looked at each other.

"Okay, like what just happened?" blinked Claire, confused by what exactly just happened to her and Brock.

"A nutty Beast doesn't reveal all his secrets at once! Come on, Mike, we had best get our keys and see who we're gonna be bunking with!" said Brandon, grabbing Mike's arm and heading off towards the dorms.

Mike shrugged, he really wanted to know more about Brandon and the Beasts, but his new companion was right, they ought to get their dorm room keys and stuff. But at the same time, he honestly wondered just what kind of monster he was dealing with, the same kind of monster that can roar and turn other monsters into baby versions of themselves.

Brandon and Mike went and grabbed their keys, with Mike getting room 319 and to his surprise, Brandon got the neighboring room, 320, so they're neighbors. It turned out their roommates were already there, one a Scaring major and the other a New Age Philosophy major. Mike was giddy when he found that out, more than excited to meet his new best friend.

"Well, I'm gonna bid you ado for the time being, gotta see what my new buddy's gonna be like and really start to unpack! I'll come by later." said Brandon, walking towards towards his dorm, the key in his hand. "Can't wait to see my roommate and get to meet yours."

"Yeah. Sure thing, pal. I'll arrange it." replied Mike, going to his door and placing the knob on his hand, as he takes a deep breath. "My life long best friend is right behind this door."

Brandon smiled and went over to his door, slowly opening it and his yellow eyes widening. His roommate had already came, the side of his room was decorated in a very groovy and hippie style, shag carpeting, colorful bedding and clothing, some of it tie dyed, a couple plants and scented candles, a lava lamp, throw pillows, yoga mat, and dream journal on his bed.

"Wow... Looks like I've gone back through time just now." laughed Brandon, stepping inside the dorm and sniffing the air. "Not half bad either. Pretty groovy."

"You better believe it, buddy beast! Hey-hey, I'm Art, New Age Philosophy major!" happily came a very lovable and friendly voice from underneath the bed, as Brandon looked down to see a lovable furry arch-shaped purple monster emerge from the bed, as he did a flip onto his bed and landed. "Excited to live with you, laugh with you, and cry with you. Also, happy to be your best friend!"

Art? He certainly was something else, didn't help that he was as cuddly looking as possible. He had such an adorable smile on his face and all that fur really looked fun on him, Brandon couldn't help but smile at his new roommate. Art looked like he's gonna be a treat to hangout with.

"I could certainly enjoy a little laugh with you! Come here, you!" squealed Brandon, jumping at Art and stretching his arms out, pulling Art into a tight yet friendly hug, sighing as he felt his soft fur against his own furry body.

Laughing, Art happily hugged back without a second notice. Already things are getting off to an affectionate start, Art sure is pretty good at giving hugs. Brandon smiled and hugged him a for a bit more, before the two of them parted and laughed again.

"Already hugging me and you haven't even introduced yourself. I like you!" grinned Art, extending his furry hand out. "Like I said, I'm Art, your new best friend!"

"Wass up?! You can call me Brandon Beast, the nuttiest Beast alive and your new roommate and buddy!" giggled Brandon, taking Art's hand and shaking it, before grabbing his other hand and spinning him around.

Art laughed and screamed as he's spun around, closing his eyes and imagining himself free falling, feeling the wind blowing through his fur and hair. Brandon laughed too and closed his eyes, as he spun himself dizzy, stumbling around with the giggling arch-shaped furry monster and collapsing onto the bed, still holding the laughing mess of fur in his arms.

"Yeah, wow, what a ride! My head's gonna be spinning for days and days from that!" laughed Brandon, his vision blurry as he just laid there with Art on the bed, his tongue hanging out as Art just laughed and laughed, so happy.

"Since you've made me very happy and gave me such an awesome ride, how about I help you unpack and let's turn this shabby dorm into our home for two nutty monster dudes like us." smiled Art, shaking the dizziness off and laughing some more.

Brandon just laughed and waited for the dizziness to stop, before he got back onto his feet and began helping Art unpack his belongings. Having a helping monster sure made unpacking easier and Brandon got straight to decorating his dorm room, with Art helping out, impressed and surprised by Brandon's tastes as they unpacked more of his belongings.

Carnivorous plants, a haunting little lamp with a ghoulish shade, weird objects kept it glass, including some eyes, a decoration that has a monstrous hand clutching a planet, a framed picture of his roommate with another smaller monster that looked similar to him, but had two buck teeth and was green and purple mixed, an alarm clock that looked like it was alive, an empty cage that was on the ceiling via a hook, and other items that made his side of the dorm look like something out of a cheesy horror movie.

"Wow, you sure do have some pretty wild tastes in decorating." commented Art, smiling as he found Brandon's taste in decorating interesting. "It's like I'm walking around one of those haunted houses on Halloween."

"I'm pretty wild and a little nutty once you get to know me, Art. It's a little off-putting to some monsters." commented Brandon, grabbing a black and purple candelabra and lighting the three blue candles on it.

"No need to worry about scaring me off, I think it looks awesome! I can tell it's gonna be fun on the bun having you around!" giggled Art, taking notice of Brandon's walk-monster and grinning. "And what's this? Into music too? Aw yeah, you and I can really get to dancing together!"

It felt so nice already making two friends and it's only his first day up here. Brandon could tell that he and Art are gonna be the best of pals, that much is certain! Brandon smiled and grabbed his walk-monster, grabbing his headphones too.

"You got a pair of phones yourself, Art? We can listen to some music together." Brandon said, as Art bounced around the room like a child on a sugar rush, heading over to the dresser and taking out an extra set of headphones.

"Use em' when I'm listening to calming and relaxing tunes while practicing yoga! Plug me in and let's jam!" grinned Art, tossing the the cord over to Brandon, who plugged it into his walk-monster.

Pressing the play button and putting their earphones in, Art discovered Brandon's taste in music was pretty fun, he enjoyed all kinds of incredible pop music and even some disco, it made him wanna dance around on the carpet and make a fool of himself.

"Don't get to dancing with those headphones in, don't need to drag you to the infirmary." remarked Brandon, happy to see Art enjoying the music, as he laid back onto his bed and rests on the pillow. "Yeah. I'm really looking forward to this college fun."

The rest of the day was spent listening to music, finish putting away some stuff, and of course goofing off with Art. Brandon turned to look at the clock and thought it's time to pay his little neighbor a visit, plus, they still need to introduce their roommates to each other.

"Hey, Art, let's go meet the neighbors. Already know one of them, a green beach ball dude calls himself Mike Wazowski. I did say I'd let him meet you and I've gotta meet his roommate." said Brandon, getting up from his bed and laughing, as Art puts down his book and does a flip off the bed, landing right beside him.

"Aw yeah, new neighbors! But we don't have welcome baskets of fruit to bring them." replied Art, as Brandon just laughed, and exited the dorm with his wild yet crazy roommate in tow.

Arriving at Mike's dorm, Brandon knocked on the door, hearing Mike's voice on the other side. He heard the door being unlocked and saw his little green friend standing in the doorway, his face brightening up when he sees the beastly friend he met earlier today.

"Hello, neighbor, I'm Art, the New Age Philosophy major of the floor! Happy to laugh and cry with you and enjoy lots and lots of action with you!" laughed Art, grabbing Mike's hand and shaking it.

"That's my roommate, Mike, he's just as wild and nutty as me and one heck of a monster! He's Art!" Brandon laughed, as he just enjoyed Art's behavior. The two of them were so alike, it was insane.

"Nice to meet you, Art. I'm Mike Wazowski." smiled Mike, shaking Art's hand. "You two don't have to say anything, I did say for us to meet each other's roommates, after all. So, please come in."

Taking the invitation, Brandon and Art came inside the door, seeing the room already completely decorated and all moved into. Mike's side of the room was something, decorated with posters and all kinds of MU memorabilia while the other side, was decorated with only a couple posters, including one that read 'The Winds of Change' above the bed, the bedding was all purple and so was the luggage with not much else around.

Brandon was curious as to who Mike's roommate could be, but when he caught sight of him, he felt his heart skip a beat. It was a long yet scrawny purple lizard monster with shimmering and beautiful emerald green eyes, three little fronds that protrude from his head, four arms and legs, a little bit of blue that starts from his spine and goes all the way to his tail, and some freckles on his face, but what really sealed it were those purple large, rounded glasses he wore.

"Guys, meet my new roommate and best friend for life, Randy Boggs!" Mike introduced Randall to them, as Randall skitters over to us, before getting back up and flashing an openly friendly and warm smile, his sharp teeth showing as he smiled.

"Hey there, you two, name's Randy Boggs!" Randall introduced himself, as Brandon looked on in awe at Randall and smiled back at him, already eyeing him as he was taken aback by how adorable looking he was.

"Brandon's a Scaring Major like you and Mike, and my name's Art! I'll share laughs and cries with you, we can practice yoga, or even write in dream journals together!" smiled Art, taking one of Randall's hands and shaking it. "I can tell we're gonna be great pals, Randy!"

Randall's eyes lit up at the mention of pals. It was clear he wasn't the most popular monster around and probably didn't have too many friends. Brandon's eyes met with his, as the two of them looked at each other, before Brandon flashed him a super friendly smile on his face, his tongue hanging out.

"And wow... You really are something else..." Brandon breathed, blushing under his fur and mentally cursing himself for blurting that out. "I mean, you look pretty nice... No, I mean, those are some fine glasses you got..."

For fear's shake, why do the cute monsters always make talking to them seem like you've done lost your mind? Last thing that needs to happen if for his big mouth to spit something out and make a bad first impression on a friend. He could see Randall a little surprised by it, even a faint blush coming onto his scales when he heard that. This was only his first day here and he's already got a freaking crush!

Mike just chuckled to himself. Brandon certainly doesn't have much romantic experience, especially considering if that was an attempt at flirting with his roommate, it was some of the most corny flirting he's seen.

"Uh thank you..." Randall said, looking at the ground for a moment, before looking back up. "You really like the glasses I have on?"

"Yeah, I like em', the purple really does suit you." chuckled Brandon, reaching out and taking Randall's hand, who used all four of his hands to grab his and shake em'.

"I was thinking of ditching em' cuz' they'll give me away when it comes to scaring. I don't wanna be a joke in scaring class." said Randall, before briefly turning invisible, with his glasses still visible and appears back in sight. "See?"

Ditch the glasses? Such a silly thing to do. The glasses really looked good on him, especially in regards to making him look smart, which Brandon could tell just from looking at him. They really showed off the beauty of those eyes of his and he found himself gazing back into them once more.

"If you need em', keep em'. Don't want my new buddy to get hurt and fall. Plus, they add something to you and make you look charming." said Brandon, before putting his hands over his mouth and mentally screaming to himself for saying that.

Buddy? Randall's eyes lit up once more, but he also blushed a little when he heard that Brandon found him charming, especially with the glasses on. He looked down at the beastly creature who complimented him, finding his appearance very unusual yet he looked very cute and cuddly too and those yellow eyes of his were so mysterious and strange, and his happy expressions were really something else.

"I can't wait to see you get to scaring, I bet it's gonna be awesome!" grinned Brandon, putting an arm around Randall, though the act caused Randall to stiffen and for him to blast some confetti from his head spout, causing Randall to briefly disappear.

"You just shot confetti from your head..." came Randall, as he became visible once more.

"That happens whenever I get excited. Sorry about that." whispered Brandon, embarrassed that he's gotten like this around such a cute monster before pointing to his head spout. "That's my head spout, I blast lots of confetti from it and some other stuff."

Calming down, Randall softened and put two of his arms around Brandon as a show of affection and friendship, feeling happy that's he made two more friends. Brandon just melted there, enjoying the contact, Randall felt slippery and scaly, but he loved the feeling from it.

"After class, how about you and I have lunch together. It'll be a blast getting to talk with you, I know." Brandon grinned, smiling warmly at Randall, who's expression softened even more.

This was happening, wasn't it? He's making friends and one of his new pals has just asked him to join him for lunch. Part of him was unsure, he didn't want to make a fool of himself, though another part of him wanted to do it, even though he's pretty shy around other monsters.

"I'd like that." Randall replied softly.

As much as he didn't want to part with Randall, they needed to get back to their dorm room. Reluctantly, Brandon broke the embrace between him and his new lizard pal, looking back up into those eyes once more and smiling.

"And here's something a token of friendship, Randy!" giggled Brandon, shooting out a frosted cupcake from his head spout that landed right in Randall's hands, as he looked at the treat in awe and back at Brandon, a small smile forming. "Don't worry, it's safe to eat and yummy too. See you, Mike. And I'll be seeing you soon, Randy."

With that, Brandon and Art left the dorm and went back to their own, as Mike bid them goodnight and closed the door. This was too good, Brandon's crushing on his roommate and doing a pretty horrible job at it, though at least Randall was oblivious to it.

"You know, I think Brandon might like you." came Mike, chuckling as he got back onto his bed.

Randall blinked through his large, rounded glasses for a moment, confused. Brandon and him were friends, just became friends, but they did like each other, though Brandon was acting a little strange around him when they talked. Not thinking too much of it, Randall got into his bed and looked at the cupcake in his hands, taking a bite from it.

"Not bad... Pretty sweet and the frosting is amazing." said Randall to himself, taking another bite form the cupcake as he smiled.

That's the first chapter, let me know what you thought of it, feedback is welcome and feel free to suggest some stuff. I'll get to working on the second chapter and hope to have it posted by next Sunday.
