AN:

I love the OK brothers but they are hard for me to write because I've only seen the movie once…I'm so going to watch the movie over and over once it's out on DVD.

I'm still having trouble deciding on terms like Manly/monsterly, humanly/Monsterly and so on.

From Urban Dictionary: Flip Cake. I thought this was a great name for a pancake place that was located near bars and a university. It sounds so fun and violent. I never heard of this phrase before trying to make up a pancake house name. Thank goodness for Urban dictionary.

If this term is more disgusting or rude then I interpreted please let me know.

(Verb) The action of quickly inverting a birthday/special occasion cake and then downwardly spiking said cake onto a hard flat surface. A crime considered to be especially hanus. Often used as a threat to a guest of honour, due to its volatile nature.

Originating from the rough side of Fairfield (Fairhood) BC Canada. Vancouver island's ghetto.

1. Woman I know it's your birthday, but your bout' to make me flip cake!
2. Wow man you should probably lay low for a bit after last night, you flipped cake you crazy mofo!

Mike grabbed his MU cap and Sulley finally straightened out his fur when they left their bedroom. They were greeted with the smiling faces of their OK brothers…plus Terry slowly drinking his coffee.

"So coach what drills will we be doing today?" Scott "Squishy" Squibbles bounced with the question. "Are we going over the phobias? Or maybe a jog? I want to get in the right mindset today!" Mike blinked and looked up at Sulley and looked back.

"AH! We really need to get you a bell…" Squishy was now a hair's breadth away from him now.

"Squishy give Mike some room, I'm sure he needs his coffee, I know I sure do." Terry drawled.

"Oh maybe we can cover proper foot movement in a child's room! It's like a dance! Let's do that!" Terri was starting to snap his fingers in an upbeat rhythm. Terry blankly looked at his brother, drank his coffee and sighed.

"It's too early for this…" he mumbled.

"Fellas let's talk about training after breakfast. Can't start a day without the most important meal of the day now can we?" Don injected. "Ms. Squibbles made us some French toast and fresh OJ" he happily sighed.

"Um guys?" All of them looked towards Sullivan. "*Cough* Don's right, we can totally talk about training after we eat. But me and Mikey are going out to eat."

"You don't like my mom's cooking?" Squishy's lip trembled.

"No, no, no that's not it! I promised I'd take Mikey out this morning…"

"For a fresh start to our relationship!" Mike injected. He was blushing slightly, but it wasn't noticeable with his eye twitching.

"Alright man, way to go." Art said in a mellow way. "I can sense a deepening of your bonds as we speak. Go out and spread the wings man. I wish you the best of luck and this new journey of yours." He did his best to give both Mike and Sulley a hug with his tiny arms.

"Yeah, yeah, new journey…" Mike awkwardly shoved Art off of them. "Alright guys it's 6:15 right now, Sulley and I will meet you back here at eight sharp. Get ready for some tough training! We're going over the differences between children and the dreaded teenager!"

"Right on."

"Will there be a quiz on this?" asked Squishy.

"I'm going to need more coffee for this." Terry glared at his mug.

"Oh BOYS~ Breakfast is ready. Oh and Terry dear there's a new batch of coffee ready." Ms. Squibbles voice rang through the hall.

"Well fellas we'll see you soon, now if you don't mind I'm going to get my breakfast on…" Don gave the group a wink and there was a collective "huh?" from the group. Except for Squishy…he gave a pouting glare at Don. Sad to say that Scott was too cute to glare properly.

"See you guys later!" Terri waved as he and his brother left for more coffee.

"Um so where was this pancake place again?" Mike shuffled his foot a little.

The air was chilly first thing in the morning as the two walked towards the local breakfast place. Mikey took full advantage and used one of Sulley's arms as a scarf. Sulley didn't mind one bit, he had a smile so wide that it felt like it was going to reach the back of his head.

"How much longer till pancakes?" asked only to break the silence.

"Not too much longer, oh so this place is opened from midnight to noon, so don't be surprised if some of the waitresses are grumpy. Most of them deal with the guys that get kicked out of the bars at 2am."

"Good to now. I was wondering if this place would be opened this early."

"Yeah…I found this place after a really awesome party last semester." Sullivan said sheepishly. "One of the many reasons for my bad grades." He gave Mike a small squeeze. "Mike, thanks for beating some sense in me…"

"Heh, your skull's pretty thick, but it's been worth it." Mike shyly smiled.

"Hey, there it is. Flip Cakes* (see Author notes on top). Don't worry it looks better on the inside."

"I hope so." The paint was fading and the parking lot was uneven. But as soon as they entered it was night and day. Each table had a simple arrangement of fresh flowers on them. The booths and floors were shiny and the walls had the pleasantly tacky wallpaper that reminded most of a sweet color-blind grandmother. The air was filled with the sweet smell of pastries and pancakes.

They were seated in a window booth with a proper amount of sunlight.

"Sulley, is there anything you'd suggest to eat here?" Mike looked over the menu.

"Nah its all good here, I usually order the pancake stack, French toast, blueberry muffin, sausage, bacon, egg and hash browns combo."

"You can eat all that? Careful there Fuzz-ball or you may get a little rounder." He sniggered.

"Not with the way you drill us." He chucked. "I've never done so many push ups." Mike grinned at that.

From the corner of his eye Mike spotted a floating letterman's jacket near the restaurant's entrance. Soon Randall materialized in it.

"Oh great…Sulley don't look, but Randall's here…"

"Mike! I didn't think I'd see you here…" Both Mike and Sullivan glared at the lizard. "Mike, Sullivan, I want to personally apologize for the extent of the "Cute Ma Kappa" thing. Um let me start over-"

"Why should we listen to you Randall? You and your new pals went a long way to humiliate us." Mike scolded as he stood on the booth chair.

"Mike, I went along with the prank because that what Frats do, mess and fool around with other Frats. I didn't know about all the photos and merchandise! I thought it would just be the paint and the stuffed animals. It wasn't until I saw Johnny and the others drinking out of the mugs with the photos on them that I knew the extent of it all. I'm sorry Mikey." Randall sighed, "I don't want to lose you as a pal."

Mike was still glaring at him, "What about 'don't mess this up for me, I'm with the cool kids now' thing? You've done a great job of ignoring me."

"It's not all I thought it would be. I miss being with you." Randall was silent for a moment. "You're one of the few that gets my book references." it was a weak shot at self-determination humor. Mike slide back in his seat.

"I've missed you too pal." He said weakly.

"Friends?" Randall reached one of his hands out.

"Friends. As long as you don't pull anything like that again. You're on strict probation!" As they shook hands smiles bloomed across both faces.

Sullivan was starting to feeling territorial and was about to say something when the waitress came by.

"Are you ready to order?"

"Uh the usual for me. Mike?"

"I'll have the pancake sausage combo with some coffee."

"Sure thing! Oh are you part of the table?" she turned to Randall.

"No, I'm the next table over…" all his previous enthusiasm evaporated.

"You can sit with us Randall." Sullivan said against his better judgment. Mike looked so happy with Randall becoming his friend again.

"If you're sure," he nodded yes, "Um ok, I'll just have some coffee and a blueberry muffin."

"Ok," she chirped. She turned and left.

Randall stood awkwardly by the booth. Mike patted the area next to him and Randall slivered over. There was a heavy silence.

"Good job with the library Mike, I didn't even think to use distraction as a tactic." He shyly looked away from Mike with his posture straight and hands neatly in his lap.

"Well just thinking on our feet." Mike scratched the side of his face. "Most of that credit should go to Don, but we all pitched in."

"Still really impressive!" he clapped his hands together.

"Your invisibility was amazing out there! What did I tell you? It's a great ability to have as a scarer!" Randall blushed a bit. Sulley was beginning to regret his invitation. He wasn't going to lie to himself; he's seen how bookworms and shy guys flirted. He had to say something intelligent …

"Wait until we get into some real scareing challenges! I can roar till the cows come home." There was an awkward silence as both Randall and Mike turned to Sullivan. He now sympathized with every awkward guy hitting on the hot chick ever.

"I'm surprised you haven't picked up some finesse from Mike. There's more to scareing then barging into doors and screaming your head off."

"Hey Randy he's got me at his side, we can do anything together. Just you see." Mike's grin was working his magic on both monsters. Both monsters were sitting there with identical dopey smiles on.

"So why are you two eating breakfast here without your team?" asked Randall.

Neither monster wanted to say they were on a date. Randall was already an unknowing third wheel to the date already.

"I promised Mikey that I'd take him out, I was kinda a jerk and I really want to make things better between us." Sulley surprised himself with the half-truth. It wasn't lying.

"Oh neat, I'm glad it wasn't because the rest of your team isn't a bunch of jerks or something. Though from what I see from your team it seems like they're pretty low-key."

"Here's your order boys," She chirped, she was as quiet as Squishy. They thanked her and started to eat.

"Mikey want to try some of the hash browns?" Sullivan had some on a fork.

"Sure," Sullivan aimed the fork towards Mike's mouth. "Are you going to feed me?"

"Come on, it'll be fun," he smiled and it won Mike over. "Open up." It was a date after all, even with the third wheel. Mike closed his eye and opened his mouth.

"MMMmm~ That's good, I'll have to order that next time!" he chirped. Sullivan just about melted.

"Hey mike, want half of my muffin? I can never finish them. They make them too big here." Randall shyly offered.

"Sure Randy," he said without thinking. Sullivan was really regretting inviting the lizard over. Sulley couldn't keep his eyes off of Mikey's mouth. With each bite a few more crumbs would be left behind on the corners of his mouth. Mike attempted to lick them away but a few remained.

Sulley reached over the table and grabbed Mike's chin. Swiping his thumb across the lips and crumbs. Mike blinked in surprise and Sulley looked away sheepishly.

"You had a couple of crumbs left…" he mumbled.

"Um thanks Sulley." He bashfully replied.

"Sulley?" Randall asked quietly, "Since when has it been 'Sulley?' I see you've gotten closer since the last challenge." Randall guessingly teased. "I wish I was on 'nickname terms' with my team. I think its because I'm the new guy, but hopefully I'll get closer to them pretty soon." He toyed with his coffee mug as a sad smile appeared.

"Randy, you'll click with your brothers when you click with your bothers. It took a little bit for us to click with the rest of the OK brothers. I'm still trying to understand Art…and I don't think I'll ever understand him, but I try." Mike said kindly. And shrugged, " I'm sure you'll get closer as the games go on. It worked for us."

"Thanks Mike," Randall shyly smiled.

Sulley was having a nice daydream that Randall never appeared in the restaurant. A mischievous smirk appeared, he decided to brush his foot against Mike's leg. It was easy with his size to reach his leg to the other side of the booth and touch his date's leg for a little footsy. Unfortunately some of Sulley's fur was on the long side. While his leg reached Mike's some of the hair brushed against Randall's. Randall looked across the table at Sulley then to Mike. He could see the dreamy smile that blossomed on his former roommate's face.

Randall swallowed nervously and glanced down at his watch. "Oh look at the time, sorry guys but I got to meet up with my team soon. I can't miss morning drills. I really don't want to get another lecture from Chet about wasting Johnny's time." He downed the rest of his coffee.

"Oh, sure Randy, hey what time is it anyway?" Mike asked.

"It's about 7:40, Um Mike it was really good seeing you again. Maybe we could meet up again sometime. I need someone else to study with for math…"

"I might be able so squeeze you into my schedule. See ya," Mike smirked.

"See you later," Randall paused, "Um do you mind if I leave some cash here for my meal. We forgot to get separate check."

"Sure thing Randall, we'll take care of it." Sulley brightly smiled. And waved Randall away.

"Thanks." Randall disappeared and the both heard the chime from the door.

Sulley grabbed Mike's hand and ran his thumb across it. "Not bad for a first date," He chuckled.

"It was fun," Mike grinned. "We should go on another one soon, maybe a movie." he suggested. "We better ask for our check though. Can't leave our brothers waiting." They got their check from the waitress. Mike reached for his wallet.

"Let me get this one Mikey." Sulley flashed his charming fangs.

"Kay, but I'll get the next one Sulley." They left a nice tip and left the restaurant hand in hand. After they were out of sight Randall reappeared next to the door. He picked up his letterman's jacket that he tucked away and put it back on.

"Mikey…"
