My name is Ruby Xue,I am 14 years old,and I am writing a book sequel for Monsters Inc,with the title《Diary of a Rescue Mission》. I loved your ideas,and plan to use them all. The story is told from the perspective of a teenage girl named Jane Jefferson who met Randall at her summer camp and tries to help him,but at some point during the story Randall tells Jane his version of Monsters Inc,so at least that part is told from his perspective. He really does express himself to her,you know,and not just in telling stories,either. I have broadened upon your idea of Randall being secretly good and trying to protect Boo by saying that Randall thought James and Michael were trying to harm her,which was a misunderstanding,of course,as was James and thinking that of Randall,but he was also afraid that Boo's disappearance and reappearance would make "the humans" suspect something was up,and that could eventually lead to humans trying to take over the monster world,or at least that part of it(and James and Michael clearly didn't think of that),and of course,all three monsters were trying to protect Boo from the "ultimate antagonist": Henry J Waternoose(although at first I tried to give Henry the misunderstanding excuse too,but unfortunately,the whole business with the scream extractor seems to be too well-planned for a misunderstanding). This will serve as Randall's explanation(not alibi,which means proof that somebody was not at the scene of a crime). In 《Diary of a Rescue Mission》 Jane and Randall eventually make it to the monster world,only to find it already invaded by Jane's native country's army. Exactly whether this really was because of Boo(which would prove Randall right,but also place the blame on her,and since Randall had been trying to help her THAT would be ironic) or a result of Jane and Randall's attempts to get Randall back into his own world is not yet decided. Later on in the story,Jane meets Michael,James,or both of them,and they too tell her their version of Monsters Inc. Still farther on in the story,Jane manages to get all three monsters together and stand still long enough to hear her explain that this all had been a big misunderstanding,and that none of them had been trying to harm Boo in the first place. An awkward silence followed her words,as James,Michael and Randall soaked this in and rather wanted to apologize,but were too embarrassed to do so. However,actions beat words sometimes,and I am obliged to use the cliche method of having them work together almost immediately after that. However,I am met with a large number of difficulties in writing this: Besides the obviously necessary job of filling in the gaps that Monsters Inc left behind(and as the part of Monsters Inc Randall was in spans around one and a half days,but the movie is less then 90 minutes long,it's really more gaps then story,like a fishing net),I also have to create Randall's explanation. This is even harder as I don't actually know why Randall should think James and Michael were harming Boo,nor why he seems to bully Jeffrey Fungus in Monsters Inc. Also,I really don't know how Randall-or for that matter any of the banished monsters-survived in the human world,with the exception of James and Michael who probably broke the record for shortest banishment time. So could you give me some ideas for these problems? I would be most grateful,and maybe one day you'll get to see Randall as a protagonist at last when I publish my book,and you'll know you had some of the ideas for it. Then again,I suppose you could write a sequel yourself! Like to try it?
