The Scare Games ~ Echo's Tour of Monsters Inc ( Echo's part of the story)

Wednesday. I was excited, but not when I found myself surrounded by CDA members in the School of Scaring. They said the scaring day had been cancelled, because the doors had been stolen and the children were missing.
"Scaring day is postponed until further notice, monsters. Keep your diary free, because as soon as we find the stolen equipment, we will put scaring day back on! In order to keep you entertained, you will be given a tour of the Monsters Inc!" said Professor Knight. That made me feel excited! It was much better to look around Monsters Inc than scare. To get there, we travelled on the bus which stopped at Monsters University every few minutes. 
When we finally gazed our eyes upon the amazing sights inside the factory, we jumped up with joy. This was what it was like to be a real scarer. We saw door after door open and monsters running in, and then rewarding themselves once they had come out. Quite a few of them were old and rusty, but the containers filled up fast with energy. It seemed like a lot of these monsters would retire in the next ten years and the new well trained generation would step in. I was amazed at the doors though. Every different colour of door came, and I was so surprised how they managed to control all the doors, just by swiping a card! I couldn't wait to get to Monsters Inc, but that would only be if I learnt from the masters and won the scare games! We spent the rest of the day touring Monsters Inc, meeting other monsters, and looking at the training programmes we would be set if we ever joined. 

Later that evening, as we ate our garbage tea from the "best cafeteria in the world", there was an announcment. They called out that the scare day would be scheduled for tommorow starting at eight o'clock in the morning! We were told to practice our scaring skills overnight and rember some techniques. The doors and robotic children weren't actually stolen - they were just locked up in the storage cupboard and they forgot to bring them out! Atleast we got a good trip out of it.

Later that night, at 10:00, I noticed Bubsey's puffle had came with him, somehow. Before bed, I read a few of the rules in my handbook...

BASIC MONSTER RESPECT
Monsters University is proud of its diversity, with monsters from every background and nationality. By valuing the uniqueness of every individual monster, MU hopes to create an atmosphere of open-mindedness and understanding. Through awareness and acceptance, students can learn to build relationships based on mutual respect, clear communication, conflict avoidance, and positive affirmation. All monsters are unique -- by heritage, number of appendages, or simply number of eyes -- and all monsters deserve respect.

The Basic Monster Respect program creates a safe environment for personal growth and cultural education, where students can learn to judge each other by content of character, not color of fur. A place where more arms means more hugs not more fists, where all students put their heads together to solve problems whether they have two heads or just the one.
CONFLICT RESOLUTION
When students fail to reasonably mediate conflicts themselves, and resident advisors can no longer handle the situation, the University steps in to assist. All complaints, offenses, and crimes are heard by the MU disciplinary action committee, made up of a body of administrators and student peers. The committee meets weekly to hear cases and decide results.
STUDENT EMPLOYMENT
Monsters University staffs an Office of Student Employment to help students in the process of finding opportunities to learn workplace skills, develop a career game plan, and begin to build a personal brand. Career assistance is available for students of all sizes, colors, creeds, and thicknesses.

Students interested in part-time jobs, internships, and career mentors are encouraged to take advantage of the offerings of the Office of Student Employment. No matter what the nature of the desired opportunity, (on-campus or off-campus, part-time or summer full-time, etc.), OSE can help connect students to alumni networks, community service opportunities, and companies in every industry.

Monsters University also makes available each year a number of positions for students to work for University departments in various roles and numerous fields. To be eligible, students must be full-time and able to pass a background screening. The Office of Student Employment is open to walk-ins Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
CONDUCTING BUSINESS ON CAMPUS
Monsters University housing is for the residential living of students only. All commercial activity is prohibited. No university property can be used to conduct business unless said privilege is expressly granted by the Office of Regulatory Affairs.
NOISE
Academic excellence and chaos rarely live in harmony. In order to ensure every student a positive learning environment, excessive noise is strictly forbidden.

The university maintains a pro-quietude stance and typically resolves noise disputes in favor of the student requesting a silent study atmosphere. Noise can sometimes not be avoided (e.g., roaring, shrieking), but it should be the exception not the rule.

Quiet is a right. Do not violate your fellow students' rights.
OVERNIGHT GUESTS
Only officially assigned students may sleep overnight in Monsters University housing, unless registered with housing officials no less than 48 hours in advance of arriving. Guests are expected to obey all university rules and behave in a manner conducive to the comfort of surrounding student residents.

Stays are limited to 36 hours unless special written permission is obtained. Visitation is a privilege not a right. Students will be held accountable for the actions of their guests.
PETS
No pets are allowed on campus, with the exception of seeing-eye snakes.
I got worried about the last bit - no pets were allowed on campus, and if they had a room inspection, then Bubsey would be the one to blame for the furry white pet. I looked at my clock. 10 minutes past 10 o' clock. I should be asleep. If I didn't get enough sleep, then I wouldn't be ready for the big scaring day ahead, on Thursday...
