Tylor then ran out of Monsters Inc. before stopping and going to sit down. He then reopened his acceptance letter before crumbling it up and tossing it behind, ringing the garbage can Smitty and Needleman were pushing.

"Whoa! Nice shot," Smitty said.

"Shut up, Smitty. Can't you see he wants to be alone? He's depressed," Needleman pointed out.

"Why's he depressed?" Smitty wondered.

"If you're a scary monster like him, now what do you do? Unless you can make a kid laugh, you got no future," Needleman answered.

"That's depressing," Smitty commented.

"Shut up! He can still hear you," Needleman remarked.

"You shut up!" Smitty shouted.

Jamie made it outside and found Tylor. She sighed before going to him.

"Hey. You okay?" she wondered as she sat by him.

"Not really. I mean, I graduate from MU and come here with an acceptance letter to be a Scarer only to realize they don't need Scarers anymore. How would you feel?" he asked.

"Yeah. It does sound a bit far fetched. Monsters making kids laugh," Jamie replied with a slight laugh.

"J, I'm serious. My family helped raise money for me to achieve my dreams as a Scarer. Now it feels like it was it was all for nothing," Tylor remarked, burying his face in his hands.

She looked at him seriously and breathed deeply.

"At least you had the opportunity to go for those dreams," she said.

He looked at her and wondered, "What do you mean?"

"After I graduated high school, I planned to go to MU like you told me. I was hoping I would get to see you and make those dreams come true. But my parents couldn't afford it. So I felt like a failure after knowing I couldn't go to the college we talked about going to," Jamie explained before looking away.

Tylor looked at her sympathetically before gently taking her hand, making her look back at him.

"Jamie, in my eyes, you were never nor will ever be a failure. I mean, you started working at Monsters Inc. before I came here," he said.

"As a MIFTer," she pointed out.

"Still. And if this was still a Scare company, you would be the scariest monster working here. But now, you're the funniest," Tylor told her.

Jamie couldn't help but smile at that as she leaned her head on his shoulder, making him lean his head on hers.

"Thanks, Ty. You always knew how to help me," Jamie said.

"You're welcome, J," Tylor replied.

"I wish I could help you now," she told him.

He then looked back at MI before saying, "You just did."

Jamie looked at him in confusion before asking, "How?"

"We can be funny enough to make a kid laugh. So let's go for it," Tylor answered.

He got up and took her hand before they headed back inside.
