After two months of vacations, finally, the second year of Monsters University begins for April, Randall and the Oozma Kappa. It's the start of the first day of the year, and the campus is starting to fill itself with many monsters. It's getting real full of people. A bus is driving in front of the academy and stops. The door opens up. A few students climb out and among them, one of them, one you know now since a bit of time, has joined them out of the bus. That same monster, is none other than April Slyther. 

She hasn't changed a bit since the beginning of the holidays. Apart from now starting to wear a bun more often and have two small braids on the sides of her head. She likes to wear her hair like that. She wanted to change a bit. She feels excited today. After all those trips around the world, she finally comes back to the academy. And she kind of missed her friends. The Oozma Kappas, the lessons.... Johnny. She did miss him a lot somehow. As she enters the campus, she immediately walks to the dorms building with her bags in hands and back, at least until someone working there stops by to get those bags and offer to bring them up to the dorm. There, to the dorms, she gets back the keys of her old dorm back, since she had to give them back before the holidays would start. Then she walks up and unlocks the door, entering inside and packing her affairs up inside, almost like the dorm was before. Only few new objects are there and few less, like photographies or books. As she finished, April stands still in front of her dorm and looks at it, arms crossed. She breathes in and then out, with a smile.

"Hello again, old room.", she says, having a little moment of nostalgia. 

She then starts walking out of her dorm with her school bag and her books packed in it. She walks out of the dorms and marches towards the scare building. That's when she suddenly gets startled by a-

"ROAR!"

April jumps, turning around with a yelp and her arms covering her face in defense. But she then realizes who that monster who scared her was. And that he isn't alone. They were laughing at her reaction when he scared her.

"Don! You guys!", she exclaims happily.

"In person.", says Don Carlton back, "Good to see you again, dear April."

April is standing right in front of the Oozma Kappas in person. And everyone is happy to be seeing each other again after so long. 

"Good to see you too.", answers April.

"Ready to start this horrifying brand new year?", asks Art to her, confidently.

"Oh heck I am.", she answers.

"Well, let's get going then."

So now they are walking together to the Scare Building. And while that, they start chatting.

"So, how have the holidays been to you all?", April starts the conversation.

"Pretty good. Me and my mom have organized a week to go to an attractions park.", Squishy says.

"Oh that's great. I suppose you were there just you and her?"

"Actually Don was with us too.", Squishy deadpans.

"Huh? Really?", April asks, surprised.

"Yep. Me and Ms. Squibbles have become a couple since the end of the Scare Games event.", Don admits, smiling contently, "It was so much fun at this park. We've bought all the photos taken on the many attractions. I'll have to show it to you one day."

April stares shocked by this sudden revelation. 

"Well, I've honestly stayed at home all holiday long. Just chilling and relaxing. And having fun. Like true holidays.", Art continues on the conversation, putting apart the subject of Don's relationship.
