The Perry Brothers - Ch. 24
Terri and Terry, 26 years old
Wow. Has it really been that long? Yeah, four years. After college, they haven't seen the OK guys for four years. Okay, they've bumbed into some of them at work, since all of them have become fairly succesful scarers, getting their own scarecards and everything... Terry and Terri once again have to share it. Anyways an occasional 'Hi' is all the words they've shared with the guys. Now they're getting back together at the former fraternity house. Nowadays only Don and Squishy's mom are living there. Yeah! Squishy has moved out of his mom's house. It's about time...
The twins and Catherine arrive. It's just like they remembered. The flowers are growing wildly, but at the same time neatly on the sides of the stairs, and the white pillars are showing how old they're getting. A warm light comes from the downstairs windows. Terri gazes over to the left upstairs window. There used to be their room. Suddenly a small monster pops up to wave at them from the window. They wave back and head inside.
Party central. They had one single big party here. It was after Mike and Sully got expelled. The party went totally crazy. Luckily the brothers didn't go as crazy as in one other party. That party is one of the things the brothers would rather forget. Although, without that party they would've never met the Oozma Kappa. They wouldn't have competed in the scare games, they wouldn't have gotten back into the scaring program, they wouldn't have become scarers. They probably wouldn't have met Catherine either...
The only one missing now is Mike. He told Sully to tell the others, that he's picking up his girlfriend. He might be showing off, maybe not. It's still really good to see everyone. Squishy says he's in a relationship, but apparantelly it's not that serious, so his partner isn't here. Everyone seems to get along Catherine. She has absolutely fallen in love with the whimsical group. Apart from working at Monsters Inc. Art's started a business. Apparantelly a small vegan shop. Don and Sheri are in a very happy marriage. They're isn't much to say about it. Squishy still isn't that comfortable with it, but he's gotten used to it.
The atmosphere is warm and welcome, just like the old days. Don and Sheri are sharing a big armchair, Sully and Squishy are chilling on the sofa and Art is lying around on the floor. Terri and Terry are sitting on a stool with Catherine on their lap. It took long before Terry allowed that. Suddenly the frontdoor flies open and Mike steps in, with a young female monster with a green scaly dress and purple snakes as hair.
Celia. This is not good, this is not good, this is not good, not at all. Celia seems calm at first, but then sees Terri. Catherine sitting on his lap is not making her feel any more forgiving. She took the break up pretty hard, since she was so young at the time. Terry realizes the fact, that she's now the age she said she was on her dating profile. Oh yeah, maybe it would be smarter to work out what to do.
Terri asks Catherine to move over and Terry understands to stand up. "Mike? C-can I talk to you? Alone?" "Sure." The three monsters go to the kitchen. "What's wrong?" "Uh, you see you girlfriend... Well I used to... It's kinda funny, you see-" "Terri used to date Celia." "What?" "Well, a while after you and Sully got expelled, I went online dating and I met Celia." Mike stops for a moment to think. Then his makes a weird face out of confusion. "But she must've been like 16 or something. And you were atleast 20!" Terry talks in a calm tone. "Yeah, she was 15." Mike makes a sort of screaming face, but doesn't make a noise.
Terri stutters and looks over to the party central every now and then. "But we didn't know! She claimed that she was 21! But there's one more thing, that she might be a l-little mad about. You know, Terry wasn't that happy in the relationship and I realized that it wasn't exactly a healthy realtionship either, so I sorta, dumped her. And I should've picked a better moment to do that." Terry is still very calm. "Let's be honest, you dumped her in a really coldhearted way. Though I really strongly believe, she deserved it." "But, but, but, why?! I mean, she's like the most amazing person in this universe!" The brothers answer at the same time. "Yeah, I know, but..." "Haha, no. She's not."
"Terry?!" "What can I do? She's awful. Lying, needy, and basically just a b-" "Okay, okay, fine. What are we gonna do?" "This shouldn't be too big of a problem, right?" Terri looks over to the living room, where Celia stares daggers at Catherine. "Yeah, I don't think so..." Terri suggests a simple idea. "Okay, let's try and play it cool. Just, ignore the past, you know. We're not here to fight or fix anything, we're here to meet old friends." "And she's not one of them." "Well, I guess so..."
The three monsters go back, carefully. Terri tries to act natural. "So, it's nice to see old friends... Right?" Time goes by. The guys talk about the good old days, and what's going on right now, but Terry and Terri are constantly worried that Celia would jump at their throats. "Yeah, Catherine's really talented and creative. I can send you the link to her website. It's awesome." "Terri! Stop it, you're embarassing me." Celia's face starts turning strawberry red. "It was real fun, but I think we should go..." As the twins and Catherine leave, Terry and Celia share one more cold stare.
