Out on the quad1, Sulley finally caught up with Dean Hardscrabble and quickly explained how he'd rigged the simulator. "You did what?" she asked, unbelieving.
"My team had nothing to do with it," Sulley said. "It was all me ... I cheated."
Dean Hardscrabble folded her bat-winged arms across her chest. "I want you off campus by tomorrow," she ordered. "You are a disgrace to this university and your family name."
"Yes, ma'am," Sulley replied softly.
Suddenly, a security guard ran by. "Someone's broken into the door lab!" he shouted.
Dean Hardscrabble immediately launched into the air and f lew toward the door tech building. Sulley watched her go, but then he realized that this news was no coincidence. "Oh no," he murmured. It had to be Mike!
Meanwhile, in the lab, Mike placed a scream can in its station next to a door to the human world. He was determined2 to prove to himself and to everyone else that he was scary, and not with some fake sim-kid but with the real thing.
Mike could hear security guards shouting outside the lab. But he had blocked the door so they couldn't enter. He turned the knob of the door in front of him and calmly stepped into the human world.
Seeing a child in bed, Mike quietly approached his target. He ruffled3 the curtains and crept alongside the bed, building his scare. Sensing something in the room, the child slowly sat up and looked around. Mike leaped toward her and ROARED!
The little girl looked at Mike. Still sleepy, she smiled at him and said, "You look funny."
"What?" Mike asked, stunned4. Then he heard someone cough. Mike looked around and saw that he was in a cabin full of beds. A banner on the wall read CAMP TEAMWORK.
Mike rolled his one eye in disbelief as the little girl began to wake all her bunkmates. "My imaginary friend is here!" she told them excitedly. "He's a funny little green guy!" Mike gasped5 as the kids started coming closer.
Back in the monster world, Dean Hardscrabble had entered into the door lab and was guarding Mike's door. "No one goes through that door until the Child Detection Agency team arrives!"
Sulley and the Oozmas were at the front of the crowd. Sulley was ready to plow6 through to get to Mike, but the Oozmas held him back. "James, wait!" Squishy said. "We can help."
Don stepped forward. "Just leave it to old Don Carlton, 'Master of Sales.'" Don confidently strolled over to Dean Hardscrabble. "Pardon me," he said smoothly7. "Today is your lucky day. How many times have you asked yourself —"
Dean Hardscrabble took one look at Don and said, "Arrest him."
Sulley cringed as the door tech guards immediately pounced8 on Don. "UP AGAINST THE WALL, POPS!" one guard shouted as they tackled him.
In the confusion, Sulley noticed that the path to the door was clear. Dean Hardscrabble saw him out of the corner of her eye and screamed, "Sullivan! Don't you dare!" But it was too late. Sulley slipped through the door before anyone could stop him.
Cautiously, Sulley crept through the dark cabin, which was now empty. "Mike? Mike?" he whispered. Looking up, he saw the camp's banner, but there was no sign of Mike.
Then he heard voices outside and peeked9 through the window. A group of human kids were gathered around their camp counselors10. Sulley heard one counselor11 tell a camp ranger12, "They're calling it an alien."
"It was!" the kids clamored. "We saw a little green guy!"
Sulley saw the counselors' f lashlights, so he ducked through a torn screen in a window. As he ran of f into the dark woods, a couple of the rangers13 spotted14 him. "Bear!" one of them shouted. "Bear in the camp!"
毛怪一路跑到四方坪才追上郝刻薄院长,他赶紧向院长坦白了自己对模拟舱动手脚的事。“你干了什么?”院长难以置信地问毛怪。
“我的团队和这件事无关,”毛怪回答,“都是我干的……我作弊了。”
郝刻薄院长将她那长着蝙蝠翅膀的双臂交叉抱在胸前。“我希望你在天亮之前离开学校,”她命令道,“你不但玷污了怪兽大学的声誉,也玷污了你家族的声誉。”
“是,院长。”毛怪轻声地回答。
突然一名保安从他们身边跑了过去,一边跑还一边大声喊着:“有人闯进实验室了!”
郝刻薄院长立即张开翅膀腾空而起,朝传送门科技楼飞去。毛怪看着院长离开,突然意识到这并不是一个简单的巧合。“不会吧。”他喃喃自语道。一定是麦克!
与此同时,实验室里的麦克已经将一个尖叫收集罐安装完毕,旁边就是通往人类世界的大门。他下定决心要向自己和所有人证明他的惊吓本领,而且他要惊吓的不是智能小孩,而是活生生的人类小孩。
麦克可以听到保安在实验室外大声喊叫,但他将门牢牢堵住,任何人都无法进来。他转动着眼前的门把手,从容地踏进了人类世界。
麦克看见一个孩子正在熟睡,就悄悄地接近他的目标。他先是扯了扯窗帘,再来到床边,积蓄着自己的惊吓能量。孩子似乎觉察到房间里的动静,缓缓坐起身来,环顾了一下四周。麦克赶紧跳到她面前,发出了一声吼叫。
小女孩睡眼惺忪地看着麦克,脸上露出一丝微笑,对麦克说:“你长得真有趣。”
“什么?”麦克被小女孩的话吓了一跳。这时传来一阵咳嗽声。麦克朝四周看了看,发现自己置身于一间放满床铺的小屋。墙上写着“团队协作,快乐露营”的标语。
麦克难以置信地转了转他那只眼睛,而小女孩已经开始去叫醒她的小伙伴们了。她兴奋地对大家说:“我想象中的朋友就是他!有趣的小绿豆!”孩子们朝他围了上来,麦克倒抽了一口气。
怪兽世界里,郝刻薄院长已经来到实验室,正严守着麦克闯入的那扇通往人类世界的大门:“在儿童探测救援队到达之前,任何人不得入内。”
毛怪和OK会队员们站在人群的最前面。毛怪正打算直接破门而入去解救麦克,却被大伙儿一把拉了回来。“等等,詹姆士!”史乖宝说道,“我们会帮忙的。”
老唐挺身而出:“那些碍手碍脚的家伙就交给老唐·卡尔顿这个‘销售大师’吧。”说着,他自信满满地踱着步来到郝刻薄院长面前。“不好意思打扰一下,”老唐流利地说道,“今天你们真走运,以下这些问题你们曾扪心自问过几回——”
话还没说完,郝刻薄院长就看了眼老唐,命令道:“抓住他。”
大楼保安们立刻向老唐猛扑过去,毛怪见状,赶紧往后缩。保安们将他控制住,其中一个保安还大喊道:“靠墙站,老家伙!”
一片混乱中,毛怪发现此时没有人在看守大门了。郝刻薄院长见毛怪溜出了自己的视线,厉声喊道:“苏利文,我看你敢乱来!”但是一切都太晚了,毛怪已经踏进了人类世界,没有人来得及阻止他。
毛怪小心翼翼地穿过幽暗的小屋,此时房间里已经空无一人。“麦克?麦克?”他悄悄地问道。毛怪抬起头,看到了营地的标语,却不见麦克的踪影。
这时窗外传来一阵声响。透过窗户,毛怪看到一群人类孩子围在营地辅导员身边。他隐约听到一位老师正告诉营地警察:“孩子们说看见了外星人。”
“真的有!”孩子们嚷嚷起来,“是一个绿色的小家伙!”
看到营地辅导员拿着手电,毛怪赶紧避开手电灯光的照射,躲到一扇窗户下面。当他跑进黑暗的树林时,几个营地警察瞥见了他的身影。“有熊!”其中一个警察大喊起来,“营地有熊出没!”
