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(gè)身，滾到一個(gè)毛茸茸的藍(lán)色枕頭上。他一邊打著呼嚕，一邊蜷縮在枕頭上囈語(yǔ)道：“我知道你是公主，而我只是個(gè)小馬夫……”接著，他睜開(kāi)了眼睛，看到自己擁抱著的，正是毛怪從上鋪耷拉下來(lái)的手！“啊啊啊啊?。?rdquo;麥克大喊著一把推開(kāi)毛怪的手。毛怪也被驚醒了，一下子從上鋪掉了下來(lái)。“你在干嗎？”他朝麥克大喊道。
“你的臟爪子跑到我床上來(lái)了！”麥克也朝他大喊。
毛怪瞇起眼睛問(wèn)道：“你剛才在親我的手？”
麥克假裝大笑著說(shuō)：“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(wèn)道。他用力拍了一下毛怪的床墊，揚(yáng)起一大堆藍(lán)色的毛發(fā)。
而毛怪只是嘟囔著，在麥克身旁小心地移動(dòng)著身體。
“讓一下，”麥克邊朝門(mén)口走去邊說(shuō)，“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(kāi)手腳。最終，兩個(gè)人從臥室里一起擠出來(lái)，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(huì)的成員都聚集在樓道里。“這是你們?cè)谶@兒的第一個(gè)早上！”史乖寶拿著一個(gè)照相機(jī)喊道。
“這是要放進(jìn)相冊(cè)里的！”阿拱補(bǔ)充說(shuō)。
這時(shí)，老唐從樓下跑上來(lái)喊道：“兄弟們！我們收到了一封信！關(guān)于‘驚嚇杯’的第一場(chǎng)比賽！”麥克、毛怪，還有其他OK會(huì)的成員都迅速聚了過(guò)來(lái)。麥克試圖把信拿過(guò)來(lái)，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(lái)，一邊道歉說(shuō)：“我的觸手……吸得太牢了。”
最后，麥克把信從觸手上一點(diǎn)一點(diǎn)撕下來(lái)，開(kāi)始看信的具體內(nèi)容。“等一下，”麥克驚訝地說(shuō)道，“他們這是想讓我們?nèi)ツ膬罕荣惏。?rdquo;
當(dāng)晚，麥克、毛怪和OK會(huì)的成員一起走進(jìn)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(lái)，他們的腳步聲回蕩在這個(gè)陰冷的管道里，聽(tīng)起來(lái)十分詭異。轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)一個(gè)彎，他們看到了聚集在前方的人群。希臘議會(huì)的會(huì)長(zhǎng)和副會(huì)長(zhǎng)站在下水道里一個(gè)由泛光燈照亮的舞臺(tái)中央。
“歡迎來(lái)到‘驚嚇杯’第一場(chǎng)比賽的現(xiàn)場(chǎng)：劇毒障礙賽！”會(huì)長(zhǎng)對(duì)所有參賽的兄弟會(huì)和姐妹會(huì)隊(duì)伍說(shuō)道，“每一位驚嚇專員進(jìn)入兒童的臥室后，都要繞過(guò)布滿毒物的雷區(qū)，因?yàn)槿祟惖暮⒆觿《緹o(wú)比！”
副會(huì)長(zhǎng)繼續(xù)說(shuō)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(huì)的隊(duì)員們看到一群學(xué)生抬來(lái)了一只大木箱。會(huì)長(zhǎng)將一把金屬鉗伸到里面，掏出了一個(gè)藍(lán)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(shuō)道，“我好想摸一摸。”
會(huì)長(zhǎng)指了指舞臺(tái)的另一側(cè)，大家看到那邊下水道的地面上撒了上百個(gè)刺刺球，每一個(gè)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(huì)長(zhǎng)說(shuō)道，“隧道另一端的燈是終點(diǎn)。最后一個(gè)到達(dá)終點(diǎn)的將會(huì)被淘汰。”
“被淘汰？”泰銳倒吸了一口氣。
麥克看著泰銳說(shuō)道：“我們不會(huì)被淘汰的，因?yàn)槲覀內(nèi)俚年P(guān)鍵就在這兒。”他邊說(shuō)邊指著自己的胸部。
史乖寶笑了：“我們的心？”
“不，我說(shuō)的是我。”麥克回答道，“我會(huì)幫我們隊(duì)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(shuō)，“你很可愛(ài)，但是麻煩你讓讓，看我怎么拿下這場(chǎng)比賽。”
麥克把毛怪推了回去，抬頭看看他說(shuō)道：“這是障礙賽！你靠什么贏？咆哮嗎？”
粉紅美少女隊(duì)穿著亮粉色的T恤站在OK會(huì)成員旁邊。只聽(tīng)其中一個(gè)女孩對(duì)她的隊(duì)友說(shuō)：“好啦，這場(chǎng)比賽的關(guān)鍵是團(tuán)隊(duì)合作，所以大家要團(tuán)結(jié)起來(lái)！”
所有團(tuán)隊(duì)來(lái)到起跑線上之后，希臘議會(huì)的會(huì)長(zhǎng)做了最后一次申明：“各位注意了，最后一項(xiàng)規(guī)則，比賽在黑暗中進(jìn)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(huì)的隊(duì)員們從緊張變成了徹頭徹尾的害怕。
