After years, you're happy to see your brother. It was an emotional reunion. Right now, Randall is in a room with your guys' parents. You're with Mike and Sulley at the moment as they give you a tour around the place. Your guys' parents had something to tell Randall.

He's seated across from them and he says, "Look. Guys. I'm sorry it's been so long since I've been around you. College did a number on me. I couldn't deal with anyone. I feel bad that I've distanced myself from (Y/N) of anyone. I didn't think my absence was gonna take its toll on HER. Rendering her unable to speak. I feel so fucking bad. I feel like a shit head. I... I really do." He sighs and he looks away. 

Your mom says, "Randall. Don't think like that." He looks at them. Your dad says, "Randall... Your mom and I have something to talk to you about." Randall says, "What is it, dad? Tell me." He says, "Now that you've seen your sister, your mom and I have thought about getting a new place." 

Randall says, "Are you guys moving away or what?" Your mom says, "Not too far, perse. Just about two hundred miles away. But we wanted to talk to you about this because you're the only family she's got besides us. She was still living with us passed age eighteen because of her being silent. But now that she's spoken and seen you, we were wondering if it's alright with you that she'll live with you for a while." 

Randall says, "Yeah. That's fine with me." Your dad says, "You have enough room, right?" He says, "Yeah. I don't use my bedroom anyways. I'm always sleeping in the living room. I have a couch that folds out into a bed and I just sleep on that. There's a single mattress and a dresser drawer in the bedroom. It's a one room apartment." 

Your mom says, "Thank you so much, Randall. I think she'll like to live with you for a while. She's missed you so much, honey. You understand, right?" Randall says, "Believe me guys... I miss her too. I feel like shit for staying away from her for so long. After hearing about her not speaking for a long time, it shocked me. I won't lie. I was pretty fucking upset about it. And nowadays, nothing makes me cry. Nothing." He sighs and says, "I feel like it was all my fault. (Y/N) means everything to me." 

Your dad says, "Son. We really do appreciate this. It's alright. None of what (Y/N) had gone through for the past ten years was your fault. You didn't know she'd be like that. Your absence really did affect her, though. You two were so close and still are." 

Your mom says, "It's nice to finally hear her speaking again. I know she's still in the process of trying. She has not let out a word in so long that it's hard for her to try without stuttering." Randall says, "It's alright. I'm just happy to see her again." They keep talking.

(Time skip.)

A couple of days pass. Your speaking is getting better. It's progressing after ten years of you being silent. Seeing Randall again really helped. You're happy to see him again. And also happy that you'll be living with him since your parents are thinking about moving away soon.

You've already gotten your things packed and you're moving into your brother's place with him, today. Your stuff is in the back seat with you. Other things of yours are in the trunk of your parents' car. They're driving you to Randall's apartment.

Your dad says, "It's good to hear you speaking again, sweetheart." You say, "G-good to... speak a-again." Your mom says, "It's getting better. You haven't spoken in so long. We've been looking forward to this. Really happy you saw your brother again." You say, "M-me too... mom." 

Your dad says, "We understand that the biggest part of you was gone for a while. Your brother. It's no wonder it affected you so badly." You sit back in your seat. You lay against a pillow. You've got your stuffed bear Icarus in your arms. The one Randall sent to you before he was deemed missing.

You get to a neighborhood. It's a little run down, but that is the neighborhood Randall lives in. Your mom says, "Oh god. Stuart. I don't like the looks of this neighborhood." Your dad says, "Me neither, but Randall does live over here. And he'll protect (Y/N). Both kids can camouflage themselves like we can. Hiding shouldn't be a problem." 

They stop by an apartment building and you look out. Your dad says, "Here it is. 484 Brand Avenue like he told us." You grab a few things and you get out of the car. You follow your parents to a door saying 484. Your mom opens the door and there's a set of stairs. 

You all head up the narrow stairs and your mom says, "He told us it's down a few hallways and it's the last door straight ahead. Apartment H." Your dad says, "So there are eight apartments in total, huh?" Your mom says, "Seems like it."

You walk down at least four hallways and you say, "I-it's like a... a maze." Your dad says, "Yeah. It sure is, honey. You're right. You would always play those indie horror games. You and Vicky both." Your mom says, "No wonder she's interested in this place, already. Well congrats, sweetie. You're living in one of these apartment. At least it's with your brother." 

You guys get to apartment H and your dad knocks on the door. You all stand there and wait. The door opens and there's Randall. He sees you guys and he grins. You run to him saying, "R-Randy!" You hug him. He hugs you back and says, "Hey, sis. Excited to be living with me?" You smile and you nod saying, "Mhm." 

Your mom says, "Randall. We appreciate this, honey." He says, "The bedroom's hers." You all walk in and he says, "I'm aware the neighborhood and this apartment aren't the best, but I'm here. I'll keep (Y/N) as safe as possible." 

Your dad says, "See that you do, Randall. As much as we love you and (Y/N), your mom and I need to do the empty nesting thing. She's over eighteen now. We've been waiting for her to speak again. We knew you were working at Monsters Incorporated, so we've decided she'd be accepted there, so she could see you. Your mom and I are moving to a different town. Keep your sister as safe as possible until she's used to being out on her own like you are and she'll get her own place." 

(Time skip.)

You've got all of your stuff moved into Randall's apartment, since you're living with him now. Your parents have left and are in the process of moving stuff out of their home to move away in a week. You're just happy to be with your brother again after ten years of his absence. 

You've got the bedroom since Randall never sleeps in there, anyways and sleeps on the couch when it's folded out into a bed. You took the bed in the room and you put the sheets, covers, pillows, etc. on them already. 

You've got a few posters up already and you've got a few of your shirts in the closet. You may be a reptile monster like Randall, but you do still require a shirt or a top since you do have breasts, but they're kind of small. 

You have other stuff in there. And... personal feminine stuff. You've got your laptop as well, so you have something to look up while you're sitting in your room. It's all good because Randall had already given you his wifi password.

You're in the living room with Randall right now as you both watch TV. You're watching something funny on TV and you both laugh. He sighs and says, "It's good to have you back in my life, (Y/N)." You giggle. He looks over at you and he sighs.

He says, "(Y/N)." You look at your brother. He says, "Listen, I... I feel like this is all my fault." You say, "W-what... is?" He says, "The fact that I left college and was never seen or heard from since until I came back here recently. I shouldn't have avoided YOU." 

You listen to more. He says, "I was so blinded by anger that I couldn't focus on anyone but myself. I vowed that I'd get back at Sullivan for beating me in the scare games in college. I was kicked out of ROR. The coolest group of guys in the university. Johnny Worthington was their leader. When I lost, they rejected me. I had no friends after that. Not even Mike Wazowski. But what hurt me more is the realization I got, recently. Hearing about you not speaking since you found out I was missing. I... Oh god, I feel like a piece of shit for that. The worst fucking brother." 

You say, "R-Randy. Y... Y-ou... aren't... b-bad. E-even if oth... others... say you... a-are." He sighs and smiles saying, "And you still have my back to this day. That's a relief." He looks to see the bear he sent to you, in your arms. He says, "I see you still have your stuffed bear." 

You say, "Y-yeah... I... I named him... I-Icarus." He says, "Icarus? Like in the stories I read to you all the time when you were little?" You nod and you say, "Th-the story... of the m-monster knight... Icarus. W-who fought... a-an evil... h-human king. King... T-tor... mentor." 

Randall says, "And King Tormentor had all of his other humans by his side. He knew that monsters couldn't stand the touch of humans. Knew monsters would fall ill or be infected with a disease if a human or any object touched by a human were to even make the slightest contact. A slight little touch from a human could make a monster sick."

You nod and you say, "I-I used to... l-lay there in my... my bed... and l-listen to you... tell me s-stories all... all the... the time. Y-you read to... me t-to get me... to s-sleep. I had... no b-bad dreams because of... it. B-but after you... were missing from my... life... I..." He sees tears in your eyes.

He says, "Oh shit. (Y/N)?" You say, "Y-you were... my best friend. E-even more so... th-than Vicky." You put your hands up to your face. He says, "(Y/N). Hey. Baby, come here." He pulls you in for a hug and you hug him back. You sob and you say, "I-I-I'm s-so sorry. I... I..."

He says, "Shh shh. Baby, it's okay. Hey. It's alright. I'm back for you. Shh." He kisses you on the forehead. He comforts you. He pulls away and he says, "Hey." You look at him. He wipes your tears away. He says, "I'm a top scarer on the scare floor. You and I can both camouflage." 

You say, "W-what... about it, R-Randy?" He says, "What do you say about, oh I don't know... Helping your big brother out with scaring human children, huh?" You say, "I-I don't know... I've never... scared, before. Y-you were... the s-scare major, Randy. I... am just a m-monster girl... who draws... a-and went t-ten years of my l-life wi... with-without s-speaking." 

He says, "Just believe in yourself. But whatever you do, don't let any human objects or the child themselves touch you. Your camouflaging abilities will help with that." You say, "I-I'm still... nervous." 

He says, "It's gonna be alright, (Y/N). Don't be scared. Be scary. Monster equals scary. Humans should be the ones to be scared. I'll be around. If I see a human sock on you, I'll grab it before they get to you. Better me than you with a 23-19 code. I'll make all the sacrifices for you. I'll be in those doors with you, but remain camouflaged." 

You sigh and you say, "O... okay." He says, "Hey." You look at him. He says, "You'll do great, my dearest sister. You're a monster. You were meant to scare. I'll be around to make sure nothing hurts you. And besides... scaring a human doesn't require speaking, anyways." 

You say, "Y-you would... really do a-all those... sacrifices... f-for... me?" He says, "(Y/N). You're my baby sister. Everything to me. My entire life. You mean more to me than scaring human kids and that's my passion. I'll take a 23-19 inspection for you any day. Every older sibling should always make a sacrifice for the younger. I swore since the day you were born that I would do all of that for you, (Y/N). And with the whole scaring thing... Think of it as if it's Icarus facing King Tormentor." You smile. He grins and nods.

****************************************************

So, what happens is you end up as one of the scarers on the scare floor. It's rare for them since you're the only female scarer down there, but so far you do great. Your brother is a top scarer. Second place and almost first. He's up there with Sullivan. You end up third to fourth. You yourself are surprised at how well you do, but Randall told you that he knew you could do it because he believed in you.

(Time skip.)

You're at home. You're still living with Randall. Your parents are already living in a different city by now. Two hundred miles away from Monstropolis. You have Vicky with you. You're both in your room. Randall gave the bedroom to you after all since he never sleeps in there. The living room is sort of his room since the couch is what he sleeps on when it's folded out into a bed.

Right in your room, you and Vicky are sitting on your bed. You're both watching videos and listening to music on YouTube. Vicky says, "You know? There's something I've never noticed until recently." You say, "What is it?" ... Oh, and your speaking had progressed. You're speaking normally again without stuttering. 

She says, "It's... Well, how do I put it?" You look at her and you say, "What?" She smirks and she twirls her finger into her hair. You say, "What? You're being weird." She grins and says, "I've never realized how hot your brother is. Fucking boyfriend material.~" You say, "Oh jeez. Seriously, Vicky?"

(End.)
