Chapter 14

The next morning, Mike rolled over in his bunk and onto a pillow of blue fur. Still snoring, Mike cuddled up to it and murmured, “I know you’re a princess and I’m just a stable boy ...” Then he opened his eye and saw he was embracing Sulley’s hand, which was hanging down from the upper bunk. “AGHHHH!” Mike screamed as he pushed the hand away.
Sulley woke up with a start and toppled out of bed. “What are you doing?” he yelled at Mike.
“Your grubby paw was in my bed!” Mike yelled back.
Sulley’s eyes narrowed. “Were you kissing my hand?”
Mike pretended to laugh. “Kissing your hand? No! And what about all your shedding?”
“I don’t shed,” Sulley replied.
“Really?” Mike asked skeptically. He pounded Sulley’s mattress, and a cloud of blue hair rose into the air.
Sulley just grumbled and tried to maneuver around Mike.
“Excuse me,” said Mike, who was heading for the door. “Would you just let me —”
“I just want to get my stuff,” Sulley growled.
The two started to struggle as they tried to move around the little room, until both of them tumbled out the bedroom door and onto the hallway f loor.
Suddenly, there was a flash! Mike and Sulley looked up to see all the Oozmas gathered in the hallway. “First morning in the house!” Squishy exclaimed, holding up a camera.
“That’s going in the album!” Art added.
Don came running up the stairs. “Guys! We got a letter! It’s the first event of the Scare Games!” Mike, Sulley, and the other OKs quickly gathered around. Mike tried to take the letter from Don, but it kept sticking to the older monster’s tentacles. Don smiled meekly and struggled with the letter, muttering an apology, “Tentacles ... sticky.”
Finally, Mike tore it loose and read the details. “Wait a second,” Mike said, surprised. “They want us to meet where?”
That night, Mike, Sulley, and the Oozmas stepped into the campus’s large, dark sewer drain. Water dripped from the ceiling, and the sound of their footsteps echoed eerily in the cold, damp tunnel. They turned a corner and saw a crowd. The Greek Council president and her vice president stood on a stage in the center of the floodlit sewer.
“Welcome to the first competition of the Scare Games: the Toxicity Challenge!” the president said to the competing sororities and fraternities. “Every Scarer that enters a child’s room has to navigate a minefield of deadly toxicity, because there is nothing more toxic than a human child!”
The vice president continued, “But thanks to MU’s biology department, we’ve found a close second — the stinging glow urchin!”
The Oozmas watched a group of students carry in a large wooden box. The president reached inside with a metal claw and pulled out a round, spiky blue creature that hissed and sparked menacingly.
“Oooh,” Art said softly. “I want to touch it.”
The president pointed to the side of the stage, toward a tunnel strewn with hundreds of the glowing, crackling urchins. Art seemed even more intrigued. “This is the starting line,” the vice president said. “The light at the end of the tunnel is the finish line. Whoever comes in last is eliminated from the Games.”
“Eliminated?” Terry gasped.
Mike looked him in the eye. “We’re not going to lose; all we need is right here,” he said, pointing to his chest.
Squishy smiled. “You mean heart?”
“No, I mean me,” Mike replied. “I’m gonna win the race for us.”
Sulley looked at Mike like he’d lost his mind. “All right,” Sulley said, pushing Mike out of the way. “That’s very cute, but move, move. I’m gonna win this.”
Mike pushed Sulley right back. “It’s an obstacle course!” he said, looking up at him. “What are you going to do? Roar at it?”
The PNK sorority, in their bright pink tees, gathered next to the Oozmas. “Okay,” one of the PNKs said to her team. “This is all about teamwork, so let’s stick together!”
As the teams came to the starting line, the Greek Council president made a final announcement. “Attention, teams, one last thing. Scarers work in the dark.”
Suddenly, the floodlit sewer went black. And the Oozma Kappas went from nervous to completely terrified.

第 14 章

第二天早晨，麥克在床上翻了個身，滾到一個毛茸茸的藍色枕頭上。他一邊打著呼嚕，一邊蜷縮在枕頭上囈語道：“我知道你是公主，而我只是個小馬夫……”接著，他睜開了眼睛，看到自己擁抱著的，正是毛怪從上鋪耷拉下來的手！“啊啊啊啊??！”麥克大喊著一把推開毛怪的手。
毛怪也被驚醒了，一下子從上鋪掉了下來。“你在干嗎？”他朝麥克大喊道。
“你的臟爪子跑到我床上來了！”麥克也朝他大喊。
毛怪瞇起眼睛問道：“你剛才在親我的手？”
麥克假裝大笑著說：“親你的手？才怪！還有，你掉毛是怎么回事？”
“我不掉毛。”毛怪回答。
“是嗎？”麥克懷疑地問道。他用力拍了一下毛怪的床墊，揚起一大堆藍色的毛發(fā)。
而毛怪只是嘟囔著，在麥克身旁小心地移動著身體。
“讓一下，”麥克邊朝門口走去邊說，“你可不可以讓我……”
“我只是想拿我的東西。”毛怪喊道。
他們倆都急著伸手去拿自己的東西，可狹窄的房間卻讓他們根本伸不開手腳。最終，兩個人從臥室里一起擠出來，摔倒在樓道里。
突然，閃光燈閃了一下！麥克和毛怪抬起頭，看到所有OK會的成員都聚集在樓道里。“這是你們在這兒的第一個早上！”史乖寶拿著一個照相機喊道。
“這是要放進相冊里的！”阿拱補充說。
這時，老唐從樓下跑上來喊道：“兄弟們！我們收到了一封信！關(guān)于‘驚嚇杯’的第一場比賽！”麥克、毛怪，還有其他OK會的成員都迅速聚了過來。麥克試圖把信拿過來，可是信卻被老唐的觸手死死地吸住了。老唐溫和地笑了笑，一邊用力試圖把信扯下來，一邊道歉說：“我的觸手……吸得太牢了。”
最后，麥克把信從觸手上一點一點撕下來，開始看信的具體內(nèi)容。“等一下，”麥克驚訝地說道，“他們這是想讓我們?nèi)ツ膬罕荣惏。?rdquo;
當晚，麥克、毛怪和OK會的成員一起走進了學(xué)校又大又黑的下水道。水從下水道頂上一滴一滴地落下來，他們的腳步聲回蕩在這個陰冷的管道里，聽起來十分詭異。轉(zhuǎn)過一個彎，他們看到了聚集在前方的人群。希臘議會的會長和副會長站在下水道里一個由泛光燈照亮的舞臺中央。
“歡迎來到‘驚嚇杯’第一場比賽的現(xiàn)場：劇毒障礙賽！”會長對所有參賽的兄弟會和姐妹會隊伍說道，“每一位驚嚇專員進入兒童的臥室后，都要繞過布滿毒物的雷區(qū)，因為人類的孩子劇毒無比！”
副會長繼續(xù)說道：“感謝怪大的生物系，為我們收集到了與人類孩子的物品性質(zhì)相近的東西——熒光刺刺球！”
OK會的隊員們看到一群學(xué)生抬來了一只大木箱。會長將一把金屬鉗伸到里面，掏出了一個藍色的圓形刺刺球，它在黑暗中一閃一閃的，發(fā)出“嘶嘶”的聲音，異常嚇人。
“哦，”阿拱輕聲說道，“我好想摸一摸。”
會長指了指舞臺的另一側(cè)，大家看到那邊下水道的地面上撒了上百個刺刺球，每一個都在閃光，還發(fā)出“噼啪”的爆裂聲?？吹竭@兒，阿拱更興奮了。“這里是起跑線，”副會長說道，“隧道另一端的燈是終點。最后一個到達終點的將會被淘汰。”
“被淘汰？”泰銳倒吸了一口氣。
麥克看著泰銳說道：“我們不會被淘汰的，因為我們?nèi)俚年P(guān)鍵就在這兒。”他邊說邊指著自己的胸部。
史乖寶笑了：“我們的心？”
“不，我說的是我。”麥克回答道，“我會幫我們隊贏的。”
毛怪看著麥克，好像麥克是瘋了一樣。“好啦好啦，”毛怪把麥克推到一邊說，“你很可愛，但是麻煩你讓讓，看我怎么拿下這場比賽。”
麥克把毛怪推了回去，抬頭看看他說道：“這是障礙賽！你靠什么贏？咆哮嗎？”
粉紅美少女隊穿著亮粉色的T恤站在OK會成員旁邊。只聽其中一個女孩對她的隊友說：“好啦，這場比賽的關(guān)鍵是團隊合作，所以大家要團結(jié)起來！”
所有團隊來到起跑線上之后，希臘議會的會長做了最后一次申明：“各位注意了，最后一項規(guī)則，比賽在黑暗中進行。”
突然間，之前由泛光燈照耀著的下水道變得一片漆黑。這下OK會的隊員們從緊張變成了徹頭徹尾的害怕。
