Tex In Monster's Inc Part Five: A Disastrous Date With Celia. EXE

Warning: The following contains graphic content that may not be suitable for children. Viewer discretion is advised.

Toppy, Rohan, Dave, Tex, Mike, Sully, Boo 2, and I were in a standstill, after being greeted by Celia at the door of her office. We needed her to get the door key we needed to get Boo 2 home and get the door knob we needed to save the multiverse from EXE. But the only problem was that Mike and Celia were exes now.

"Smootsie poo," said Mike. "We need the door key to the door that these boys were using last night. Please."

"Oh, really?!" yelled Celia. "What about when I needed you, Michael?! When you were messing around with those eight women during that dark time in my life?! When I had to read the news to find out that you have eight kids from eight different women?! WHEN BOO WAS IN THE MONSTER WORLD AND I HAD TO BE DECONTAMINATED BY THE CDA?! Now, you're a wanted man. You and your friends. They are giving away $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 to whoever can turn all of you in. I won't be accomplices to your crimes."

"Celia, please!" said Sully. "These guys are trying to save the multiverse! They need that door key to return Boo 2 to Boo!"

"Who's Boo 2?" asked Celia, confused.

"Toppy?" I said.

At that moment, Toppy held up Boo 2 to present her to Celia.

"HELLO!" yelled Boo 2.

Celia jumped back in shock at the sight of Boo 2.

"So, this is why the CDA wants you?" said Celia. "OK. I'll give you guys the key. But just so we're clear, Michael, this doesn't change anything."

But right before Celia could give us the door key, the EXE got onto her. Celia screamed in pain as the EXE transformed her into a giant snake headed monster: Celia. EXE!

"CELIA!" I said, in horror.

"Well, well, well," said Celia. EXE. "Looks like we have some new playmates, girls. Isn't this exciting?"

"Very exciting, Celia," said the EXE-infected snakes.

"I heard that old Celia was just gonna give you the door key to return Boo 2 to her home," said Celia. EXE. "Now, how is that fun? Instead, why don't we make a game out of it? The game station in Monster's Inc is still working. It'll be just like old times."

"And if you win all three games, we'll give you the door key," said the EXE-infected snakes.

"What a wonderful idea, girls!" said Celia. EXE. "Your first game is Musical Memory. I'll meet you there so you can get started. Obey the rules or I will tear you all apart and eat your organs while you're still alive."

Celia. EXE then slithered away to the game station, laughing. But not before she snapped her fingers, and summoned Bunzo Bunny, all of the Huggy Wuggies, and PJ Pug-A-Pillar from Poppy Playtime Chapter 2. All of the monsters walked to the game station, while we looked on in horror.

"Game station? Where?!" asked Rohan.

"Well, in the early days of the factory's existence," said Sully. "We used to have a game station in the back of the factory for the kids to play in while their parents worked. After Waternoose got arrested, the Game Station was shut down due to safety concerns. But now, it's up to you guys to play all three games in the station to get Celia back to normal!"

"OK," I said. "Let's do this!"

"Wait!" asked Dave. "Who's gonna watch Boo 2?!"

"Oh yeah!" I said, as my parental instincts kicked in. "Tex, do you want to watch Boo 2 while we try to save Celia?"

"OK," said Tex. "She seems very brave to me! So, I highly doubt that she'll be afraid of me."

"Thanks, man!" I said, before turning to Boo 2. "OK, Boo 2, be good for Uncle Tex, OK? Do exactly what he says. We have to go play some games. Be good, OK?"

"OK," said Boo 2.

"We'll help him too," said Mike. "Go save my Smootsie Poo."

"We will, Mike," said Dave. "We promise."

So, Toppy, Dave, Rohan, and I were on our way to Musical Memory, our first game, to try and save Celia from the EXE.

"This is kind of Poppy Playtime like," said Toppy, as we entered Musical Memory.

"Yeah," said Rohan. "Wait! Toppy, don't you hate Poppy Playtime with all your heart?"

"Correction, said Toppy. "I used too. Enchanted Mob were some of the biggest scumbags ever. But luckily, I was able to talk with Zach Belanger, one of the creators of Poppy Playtime. He apologized for everything."

At that moment, a video popped up, explaining Musical Memory, our first game.

"Welcome to Musical Memory!" said the voice of Waternoose. "This advanced Memory Incognitive Recognition test is designed to stimulate several segments of the brain, allowing us to see how quickly and efficiently your brain works. A sequence of colors will be shown, and you must recreate the exact sequence using buttons around you. Bunzo will slowly lower towards you. When you complete the color pattern correctly, Bunzo will rise back up. When you pattern incorrectly, Bunzo will lower towards you faster. If Bunzo reaches you, your test is over. The test will become more difficult as it continues with longer patterns, and quicker succession. That's all. Good luck!"

At that moment, the video stopped and Celia. EXE appeared in a nearby viewing box.

"Isn't it amazing?" asked Celia. EXE. "I haven't seen this place up and running in years. I can only imagine how excited Bunzo must be. It's been such a long time since he's been able to play. To cheer. To eat."

At that moment, we heard the sound of Bunzo's cymbals slamming.

"Oh, the dinner bell," said Celia. EXE. "Good luck."

At that moment, the panels popped up around us. The colors were red, orange, green, and yellow.

"OK, guys," said Dave. "I'll give it a go."

"Orange!" said the voice.

Dave pressed the Orange button.

"Orange, yellow!" said the voice.

Dave pressed the orange and yellow buttons.

"Orange, yellow, red," said the voice.

Dave pressed the orange, yellow, and red buttons.

"Orange, yellow, red, green," said the voice.

Dave pressed the orange, yellow, red, and green buttons, ending round one.

"Woo!" said Dave, who was pumped. "I'm getting good at this!"

Then, it was time for Round Two.

"Pink," said the voice, as a pink button appeared.

Dave pressed the pink button.

"Pink, yellow, red," said the voice.

"OK," said Dave, as he watched Bunzo come down faster. "This is getting too fast now."

Dave pressed all three buttons, and Bunzo went back up.

"Pink, yellow, red, orange, turquoise," said the voice, as a turquoise button appeared.

"It's getting faster!" said Dave, fearfully, as he watched Bunzo come down even faster.

"I got you, Dave!" said Toppy, as he pressed all six buttons.

"Pink, yellow, red, orange, turquoise, pink, pink, exclamation point, period, exclamation point, heart, square, circle," said the voice, as all of those buttons appeared.

"Stop it!" yelled Dave, as Bunzo landed on his face.

Bunzo began hitting Dave in the face with his cymbals, as the machine continued to malfunction. Dave screamed as the psychotic bunny continued to hit him.

"Get it off me! Get it off me!" yelled Dave.

"I got you!" said Toppy, as he hit Dave in the face, to try and get Bunzo off. "Did I get him?"

"No," said Dave, as Bunzo continued to hit him with the cymbals. "GET IT OFF!"

"I got you!" I said, as I pressed the power off button, causing Bunzo to go back up in the air and the machine to turn off, while Celia. EXE watched in disappointment.

"Oh, it broke," said Celia. EXE. "That's no fun. I was hoping the game would last forever. Oh well. I know other ways to play with you. Head to Whack-A-Huggy for your next game."

We all looked in shock as Celia. EXE slithered away, laughing.

"Well," said Rohan. "That was insane. I will never look at bunnies the same way again now."

"Come on," said Dave. "We better get to Whack-A-Huggy."

So, we ventured off into the next game: Whack-A-Huggy. Right when we got in, another video explaining the game played.

"Welcome to Wack-A-Wuggy!" said Waternoose. "This advanced test is designed to assess the extent of your reactionary abilities. A dual palm Grabpack will be provided to you for this test. Around you are 18 sizable holes. An adorable Huggy Wuggy toy could appear out of any one of these holes. If one comes out, hit it with your Grabpack. That's all. Good luck!"

Then, the video ended and the Grabpacks fell to the floor. All four of us grabbed the GrabPacks. At that moment, Celia. EXE appeared from the window.

"The toys in this game used to have strings attached to them, so they could be pulled back when they got too close to the children," said Celia. EXE.

"Say what now?" asked Toppy.

"Have fun," said Celia. EXE, as she began to watch the game begin.

"Ok, guys," I said. "We need a plan to efficiently get all of the Huggies without getting whapped in the face. So Toppy and Dave, you hit the Green and Brown Huggies. Rohan and I will do the Red and Yellow Huggies. If we win this game, we'll be one step closer to getting that door key!"

"OK," said Toppy, as he hit a Brown Huggy. "I got one!"

"Me too!" said Dave, as he hit a Green Huggy.

So, we proceeded to hit all of the Huggies that came in the holes. But right when the game was about to end, a Red Huggy appeared from out of the hole and whapped Rohan on the head.

"Rohan! I got you!" I said, as I whapped that Huggy in the head. "You! Go back to your hole!"

"Now I know why the toys used to have strings on them!" said Toppy.

"So, they wouldn't whap us!" said Dave, as another Huggy whacked him down. "Toppy! Help!"

"Hold on!" said Toppy, as he whapped all of the Huggies, including the one that whacked Dave.

Then, the game ended.

"Oh, you did it," said Celia. EXE, as she tried to fake being happy. "Hurray! I am so proud of you!" But then, Celia. EXE became sad. "Only one game left. Sad. I was hoping you'd stay here forever. Although, it's never too late to change your mind. Head to Statues for your final game."

Then, Celia. EXE walked out of the window, laughing.

"Oh no!" said Toppy. "Statues is the hardest game in Chapter Two! We'll never beat it!"

"How so?" asked Rohan, as we began walking to the Statues room.

"Remember the Pug-A-Pillar that we saw Hammy. EXE ride in the Over the Hedge World?!" asked Toppy. "That's who we're dealing with! He moves, whether you're freezing or not! If he catches us, we will be dog food!"

"Well, it'll all be worth it in the end," I said. "Boo 2 will be at home meeting her new sibling, we will have the door knob, and we will be one step closer to saving the multiverse from EXE."

As soon as we got into the Statues room, the final video explaining the game played.

"Welcome to Statues!" said Waternoose. "This advanced obstacle course is designed to test your physical endurance and strength. The rules are simple: The lights will turn off. You can move through the obstacle course at this time. However, when the lights turn on, you can look around, but cannot move. You may move again once the lights turn back off. The lovable PJ Pug-A-Pillar will follow you. If PJ reaches you, your test is over. Good luck."

Then, the video stopped and Toppy's eyes widened in horror.

"We are gonna die," said Toppy.

At that moment, Celia. EXE appeared from the window.

"It was always so sad to see the kids go," said Celia. EXE. "They called me Aunt Celia because I was the closest thing that they had to one. But they'd come for games and never come back. They left me to die alone! I didn't deserve that! But you four. You four are responsible for protecting the multiverse. Everything you touch goes to ruin. So if anyone deserves to die alone, it's you."

Then, Celia. EXE proceeded to watch us. The music started and the light were off. So, we proceeded to move through the obstacle course. Then, the light turned back on and we froze, with PJ right on our tail.

"Nice Pug-A-Pillar," said Toppy, nervously.

Then, the lights turned back on and we proceeded to move through the obstacle course again, with Toppy being the fastest. But the lights turned back on, and we froze. Luckily, we were able to lose PJ for a brief period of time.

"We lost him," said Toppy. "Now, turn the lights off! Please!"

The lights turned back off and we ran through the course as fast as we could. Then, the lights turned back on and we froze. But unfortunately for poor Toppy, PJ was right on top of him, licking him with his huge tounge.

"Bad dog! Bad! Sit! Stay! Roll over! Play dead!" said Toppy, as he tried to get PJ off of him.

"OK," said Rohan. "That's honestly really cute."

Then, the lights turned back off and we proceeded to move through the obstacle course. But PJ ended up getting me as well and licking me.

"Nice dog!" I said, as PJ licked me.

"THIS IS TAKING TOO LONG!" yelled Toppy, as he used his Grabpack to break open a vent. "I want out now!"

"Toppy, no!" said Dave.

But it was too late: Toppy used his Grabpack to grab all of us in one go. We all went up the vent and started to yell at Toppy, but Toppy put his hands on our mouths.

"SSSH," said Toppy. "She'll hear you. Walk slow, keep your voice low, and follow me."

We nodded and followed Toppy through the vents. But Celia. EXE had just found out that we escaped.

"Where did you go?" asked Celia. EXE. "The game is over! You won! Come back, and I will give you the door key! Pinkie promise."

"No way!" said Toppy. "You are a psycho!"

"I know that the game is really hard," said Celia. EXE. "But I just decided you won. Come back!"

"No way!" said Rohan. "I think we can manage on our own, Celia. EXE. We'll get you back to normal. Don't worry."

"I don't like cheaters," said Celia. EXE, now getting angry. "The rules are so simple! You die! I get to watch! COME BACK TO ME!"

"SHUT YOUR MOUTH, YOU PSYCHOTIC MEDUSA RIPOFF VOICED BY THE BRIDE OF CHUCKY!!!!!!!" yelled Toppy, now getting annoyed.

"AAAAAAAH!" yelled Celia. EXE, now angry. "HOW DARE YOU DISOBEY ME?! I'LL FIND YOU! I WILL FIND YOU! AND WHEN I DO! WHERE ARE YOU?! WHERE ARE YOU?!"

"Come on, guys," I said, as I opened the vent to the cafeteria. "In here!"

Everyone nodded, and jumped down into the cafeteria. But we heard Celia. EXE smashing her way through everything to find us.

"Well, Kadin!" said Toppy, as he prepared to throw an egg at me. "This is a really eggcellent mess you got us in to!"

Toppy threw the egg at me in anger. I turned to him, holding a piece of beef.

"Toppy," I said, preparing to throw the beef. "We are in this position because you wanted to leave the game and cheat! So now, Celia. EXE has beef with us!"

I threw the beef at Toppy. Toppy then got out a coffee maker and prepared to throw it at me.

"Well, why wait for her to come and consume us for dinner?!" asked Toppy, holding the coffee maker. "As a matter of fact, before we die, let's have a coffee break!"

Toppy then threw the coffee maker at me and hit me square on the head. We both looked at what we had become. Over a door key and kid, no less. Then, we hugged each other.

"I'm sorry I said and threw those things," said Toppy.

"It's OK," I said. "I was in the wrong too. We will get out of this and get that door key. Rohan, do you think we lost her?"

Rohan than proceeded to walk under the vent we hopped out of. But at that moment, Celia. EXE screamed and hopped right out of the vent. Rohan screamed and ran to hide behind us. Celia. EXE looked pissed at us.

"I asked you to play far and you CHEATED!" yelled Celia. EXE. "I HATE CHEATERS! NOW, WE'RE GONNA PLAY ONE! LAST! GAME! IT'S CALLED HIDE AND SEEK!"

"Oh no," said Toppy.

"Come on, guys," said Dave, in horror. "RUUUUUUUUN!"

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1," said Celia. EXE, as she began looking for where we were hiding. "Ready or not, here I come."

We were actually really well-hidden. Toppy and I were in a pantry, Dave was near an oven, and Rohan was near a cheese grater. Celia. EXE noticed Rohan and tried to get him. But she wound up getting her hand stuck in the cheese grater.

"Rohan!" I said. "Grate her! Maybe the EXE will get off of her!"

"OK!" said Rohan, as he pulled the lever to start the grater.

Celia. EXE screamed in pain as the EXE was grated off of her.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" yelled Celia. EXE. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Celia. EXE was now back to being Celia.

"Guys," said Celia. "You saved me."

"It was nothing," said Toppy. "It's what we do."

"Here is the door key," said Celia, as she handed us the key. "Go save the day."

"Thanks, Celia!" I said, as we walked out of the kitchen to go find Mike and Sully. "That was super easy!"

"Um, we spoke too soon," said Toppy, pointing at Thaddeus Bile. "Look."

"HEY! HEY!" yelled Thaddeus Bile. "I FOUND THE FIRST FOUR! OVER HERE! THE CHILD HARBORERS! WHOOP! WHOOP! WHOOP!"

At that moment, a stampede of CDA agents, lead by Waternoose and Randall, charged right at us.

"HURRY UP!" yelled Thaddeus. "I NEED TO BUY ME A YACHT! OVER HERE! I FOUND THEM! WHOOP! WHOOP! WHOOP!"

We were then interrogated by the CDA about the case, which we said nothing about. But at this moment, Waternoose and Randall walked in.

"We'll take them off your hands," said Waternoose. "Randy! Have these four ready for execution at dawn!"

"OK," said Randall.

"WHAT?!" I said, in horror. "No. No. NO! BOOOOOOOOO TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"Four down, three to go," said the CDA chief.

We were able to get saved from the execution, lead by Waternoose and Randall. But the EXE would get both of them in one go.
