Jodi and the Monsters

Written by C. D. Anders

It was a perfect day at Monster's, Inc., and Randall, the company's second-best scarer, crept into the bedroom of two sisters. Just as he was about to scare the younger one, however, another little someone was sneaking up on him, giving him a good whack on the head with a baseball bat, and knocking him unconscious! "Time to get to work." She said. She reached into one of her drawers and pulled out some make-up, duct-tape, a tutu, a camera, and a costume. She put them all into her backpack, and dragged Randall back to Monster's, Inc. She put the tutu on him & put the make-up on, but then, he woke up!

"W-what's going-OW!" One bonk and he was out. Then she duct-taped him to the wall, put on a CDA costume, and got a camera ready. Then, when he woke up, there was a CDA agent standing before him, camera in hands!

"Excuse me, sir, but would you happen to be Randall Boggs?" The little girl said in a sophisticated voice.

"Yes, I am," Randall stammered, "but what do you want? What's going on?" She had to turn around to keep a laugh from bursting out, and cleared her throat.

"I've been informed that you are scarer of the month, and have been sent here to take you picture."

" But how did I- how did-"

"Would you please pose?"

"But- oh, well, at least I've finally got something to tell Sullivan and Wazowski about." Randall "posed" and put his best smile on. When the picture was finished, she got her bat out, grinning sarastically. Randall had a confused look on his face. She took off the hood of her costume.

"Surprise!" Randall's eyes widened, but before he could do anything, she whacked him on the head. She grinned as she said, "Oh, sorry, did I hit you? Well, what do you expect? I've got to have SOME fun around here!" She framed the picture. But wait! She heard something! Frantically, she stuffed everything back into her backpack, un-taping Randall as he slid down to the floor. Then, she heard voices in the other room. She crept quietly into the lobby. Everyone was crowded around by the Wall of Rame, laughing. Laughing until Randall came along, that is. As soon as the girl saw Randall, she ducked down.

"If he sees me, I'm done for!"

"What's going on?" Smitty, one of the janitors, without looking to see who it was, said,

"We're all just looking at this picture of that geek Randall. You know, with a little bit of make-up and a tutu, he doesn't look so bad! Ha ha! Oops!" Smitty had just found out that you should always look at a person (or monster) when you speak. Randall just walked quietly up to his picture, looked at it, and turned to the crowd.

"GET OUT OF HERE!" He screamed. All of a sudden, everybody seemed to vanish. Then Randall took the picture and slinked away. The girl got up and started laughing. But when she went back to the scare floor, her door was gone!

"Someone must have put it back in the vault!" So she took off her costume, put everything back into her backpack, and headed for the locker room. She fiddled with the lock on someone's locker, (which happened to be Randall's) and put her backpack in it. But then, what was that? That same sound! She'd heard it before! But it was footsteps this time! She quickly slinked into the locker and shut it behind her. She cautiouisly peeped through the holes to see who it was. To her, she saw a huge, hairy, blue, purple spotted monster with giant horns and a big tail, and a small, green gumball that walked. To us she saw James P. Sullivan, & Michael Wazowski, the company's number one scare team. with Sullivan being the scarer, and Mike was his assistant. Well, the girl was scared, all right! Scared right out of her wits! Who would she get past them? Th other monsters would be coming soon, and she would be in one of their lockers! She was very sleepy, though. Before she could think of anything else, she fell asleep.
