(ON HOLD) Monsters Inc.- Laughter(OC) Sequel to Monsters University-Roar

Chapter 3: News after News

Arriving at April's home, Sulley, indicated by April to park in front of the garage door of the house, drives the car there finally. He stops it after parking it well. April comes out of her car, taking back the keys from Sulley.

"Thanks a lot for the ride. I owe you something.", April thanks him.

"Nah. Ya don't owe me anything. Take some rest and hopefully we'll see each other tomorrow.", Sulley says, climbing out of the car too and walking away after closing his door behind.

"Wait. Are you just going to walk back to the factory?", April asks, concerned.

"Yes. Makes me exercise a bit. Don't worry about it.", Sulley shrugs it off.

"Okay, if you say so. Good day, champion.", April calls out.

"Good day to you, April."

Sulley is slowly marching away from April, going back to Monsters Incorporated to continue his work. April walks towards her house and enters in. She looks at the clock right above the door. It's midday. She could be eating something, yet she hesitates due to her barfing from earlier. She doesn't know if she would be able to contain the food this time. But on the other hand, she's hungry. After all, she doesn't have anything left in her stomach. So she thinks of eating something small. Just a small one could be enough. So she walks tiredly to the kitchen, opening a drawer to see what there was to eat. And feeling how tired and weak she was, she didn't feel like having to cook. Probably best for her to eat some rests of other days or something already cooked. So she looks more and more into the drawer and finds a can of beans with octopus jelly. Hopefully that's what she can keep in her stomach. April takes the can and warms it up in the microwave. After a while of warming up, she takes out the can and starts eating up. She really hopes that she won't feel sick very long. And hopefully Johnny won't see her like this. It would be a shame if she-

Johnny is walking towards the entrance door of the house, opening it up and entering inside. It's has started to get dark outside, so it must be evening already. Tired of the day, but satisfied, he can't wait to be telling his wife of all his good work done. Seeing at first that the house seems quiet, he starts calling out.

"Hey, dear! I'm home. Wanna come see your favourite scarer?"

But so far, no response. Still quiet. Which surprises Johnny. Maybe April isn't home? Is she asleep already?

"Hello?", he calls out again, as he walks further inside the house.

And now he hears sounds. Muffled sounds. After focusing more on the sounds, it looks like groans. And then hurls. He focuses more to guess from where the sounds come from, and after a bit of thinking, it must come from the bathroom. This could only be April, since they are the only ones with the keys to enter the house. Now worried by the sounds, he walks to where the bathroom should be.

"Hello? Sweetheart are you there?", Johnny calls out again.

Now in front of the bathroom door, he clutches on it to hear out and knocks a few times on the door. A pained and fatigued groan is heard from there.

"The horror.... Ugh.... The horror.", the voice of April says, before hurling up again and throwing up.

"Hey, April. You ok back there? Ya need something? Open the door, please?", Johnny asks, now more worried.

"J.... Johnny. It's you?", April asks out, after hearing his voice, "Just a few.... Minutes.... Please."

"Open the door. You don't sound well. Let me in."

"Let me. Please, I.... I need time."

Johnny hesitates to leave her behind this door, but doesn't think he has a choice. After trying to open the bathroom door, he finds it locked. Johnny sighs, now starting to get nervous, and walks off from the door, now staying with arms crossed and back against the wall, just next to the door, waiting for April to get out. April, on her side, has been in this bathroom for the second time since coming back from Monsters Incorporated this midday. So three times that she has been barfing. She can't believe this. It is usually rare for her to be this sick. And when she did, it was only small symptoms and nausea was even more rare than being sick. This can't just be casual, can it? There must be something up. Something that must be so hard to bare that-
