"Abominable'!" Snowman said, putting a lantern down as he chuckled, "Can you believe that?" Mike was standing in front of the lantern, trying to stay warm. "Do I look abominable to you?"

"Nope" Sam muttered.

"Snow cone?" Snowman asked, offering some yellow snow cones.

Mike and Sam looked at him.

"No, no, no, don't worry-it's lemon," Snowman told them.

"No, thank you." Sam said, looking out the cave.

"Okay. How about you, big fella?" Snowman asked, Sulley, who he was referring to, "Snow cone?"

"Did you see the way, she...looked at me?" Sulley asked.

"Sulley, she gave me the same look," Sam told him, "I know."

"Ah, poor guy. I understand," Snowman said, "It ain't easy being banished. Take my buddy, Bigfoot. When he was banished, he fashioned an enormous diaper out of poison ivy." Sam shivered again, trying to stay warm. "Wore it on his head like a tiara. Called himself King Itchy."

"Bigfoot had it bad," Sam mumbled to her self.

"You got that right. Ah, it won't be so hard for you guys, though, ya know," Snowman explained. "I mean, how lucky can you get? Banished with your best friends."

"They are not my friends," Mike told Snowman.

"Oh. I just assumed you three were buddies, you know when I saw you out there in the snow hugging and all that," Snowman explained.

"Look at those jerks. Ruined my life and for what? A stupid kid!" Mike shouted.

Sam growled as Sulley picked up his wife, placed her in front of him, and wrapped his arms around her as she leaned into his chest.

Because of you two, I am now stuck in this frozen wasteland!" Mike kept shouting.

"Wasteland? I think you mean wonderland!" Snowman tried to correct, I mean, how about all this fabulous snow, huh?. Oh, and wait 'till you see the local village. Cutest thing in the world. I haven't even mentioned all the free yak's milk."

"V-village?, Like, with kids and closets into the monster world?!" Sam almost shouted, standing up and looking at Snowman.

"Kids?, sure. Tough kids, sissy kids, kids who climb on rocks-,"

"Where is it?" Sulley asked, getting up and walking over to Snowman.

"It's at the bottom of the mountain," Snowman admitted, pointing to the exit/entrance of the cave, "Around a three day hike."

"Oh, three day?!" Sulley growled, "We need to get there now!" He hit on of the walls, which made the cave shake. An icicle broke off the ceiling and it slid towards some skiing equipment.

Sam gasped, and ran over to the equipment while picking the lantern up. She put it down by the equipment and started to dig through it all.

As she did, Snowman talked. "You want to go to the village?. Rule number one here. Always. No. Never go out in a blizzard."

"You lost your toes that way didn't you?" Sulley asked him as he went over to his wife and helped her out.

"Yes, but that's not the point!" Snowman told them.

"We need to get to Boo," Sulley explained.

"I am not leaving her." Sam spoke, still working.

Sam felt something cold hit her back. She turned and saw Snowman pointed to Mike, indicating that Mike had hit both Sulley and her with a snow cone.

"Boo?!" Mike exclaimed, "What about us?" He picked up another lemon flavored snowball, broke it in two, and threw half at Sam and half at Sulley. It nailed Sam in the back, but she kept working. "ever since that kid came in, you two have ignored everything I've said and now look where we are!' He threw another snowball at Sam's back, "Oh, we were about to break the record, guys! We would have had it made!"

"Non of that matters now," Sulley replied.

"None of it matters...Wa-wait a second. None of it matters?" Mike questioned his friend. Sulley let out a sigh.

Sam mumbled, "Only Boo matters to me. Her and another. I have to save them both."

"Okay," Mike said, "That's...no. Good. Great." He threw the snowball on the ground. "So, now the truth comes out, doesn't it?"

"Oh, would you look at that," Snowman awkwardly said, "We're out of snow cones, uh...Let me...just go outside and make some more." he walked out of the cave.

"Sulley, Sam, what about everything we ever worked for? That doesn't matter? Huh?" Mike asked as Sulley place the lantern on the front of the sled. "And what about Celia? I am never...never going to see her again. Doesn't that matter?"

Sulley sighed and the couple started pushing the sled towards the front of the cave. "What about me?" Mike questioned, "I'm your pal. I'm...I'm your guy's best friend. Don't I matter?"

They stopped pushing it and Sulley turned, "We're sorry Mike," Sulley stated, "I'm sorry we're stuck out here. We didn't mean for this to happen, but Boo's in trouble. I think there might be a way to save her if the three of us just get down to that-,"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. 'The three of us'? No. There's no 'three of us' this time, pal. If-if-if you two want to go out there and freeze to death, be my guest because you guys are on your own." Mike said, then turned his back to them.

Sulley turned again. He pointed at the sled. Before Sam hopped on, she gave Sulley and big kiss. Sulley then pushed the sled out of the cave, and getting into the sled, when it started to slide down the snow-covered mountain.

They hit a few bumps, and then the sled crashed into a rock, throwing the couple some few feet away. The wind howled, Sam looked up and saw the village. She crawled to her husband and shook him awake. He lifted his head up, just in time for them to hear a scream of a child.

Sulley got up, picked his wife up in his arms, and shouted "Come on!"

He ran to the nearest kid's house.
