## Episode

### Opening Scene

Lagoona Blue sits in her bedroom, putting on her makeup.

LAGOONA (V.O.): ***Today is the worst day of my life...***

She waves her dad Wade Blue goodbye and leaves the door.

LAGOONA (V.O.): ***But I have to face my fears... If you haven't heard! Who am I kidding, the prime minister of Australia heard... I betrayed a friend to save my own fin, and I deeply regret it.***

Lagoona gets to the gate of Monster High.

LAGOONA (V.O.): ***I have to apologize to Draculaura.***

She walks to the front entrance of the school.

LAGOONA (V.O.): ***I mean... she would understand why I did it, right?***

She opens the door, and staring back at her is Draculaura.

LAGOONA (V.O.): ***How long do vampires hold grudges?***

(INTRO)

### Scene 1

Lagoona walks over to Draculaura as Draculaura walks towards over to Lagoona.

LAGOONA (V.O.): ***Oh my ghoul... She's walking towards me! Does she look angry...Shit! I don't know.***

The girls walk up to each other.

LAGOONA: Draculaura... I-I-

Draculaura cuts Lagoona off by giving her a hug.

DRACULAURA: It's okay, I know the truth now! Frankie and Clawdeen filled me in the details.

LAGOONA: I just wanted to say I'm sorry! I shouldn't have done what I did.

DRACULAURA: It's my fault! I should have just been honest with my best friend about dating her brother.

LAGOONA: How are you feeling... I heard you and Clawd broke up. Do you want to talk about it?

DRACULAURA: No, thanks! I've gotten that out of my system.

Both of the girls begin to walk together.

DRACULAURA: Besides, it's even worse talking about it, as I will obsess over it.

LAGOONA: What about if you see him?

DRACULAURA: I can't right now.

LAGOONA: Well, he's heading this way.

Clawd Wolf walks past Draculaura alongside Heath Burns without looking at her.

LAGOONA: Well, that was awkward.

DRACULAURA: Yeah... But it had to be done. Our relationship was built on bad spirits and secrets. And anyways, I also felt it would be too awkward for Clawdeen right now. It didn't feel fair to do this to her.

Clawdeen Wolf walks over.

CLAWDEEN: I see my two favorite ghouls are BFFs again.

They all smile and have a group hug. The bell rings.

DRACULAURA: Shit! I have to get Mr. Rotter's class before he gives me another detention for tardiness.

Draculaura leaves.

LAGOONA: How are you feeling?

CLAWDEEN: To be honest, I just want things to go back to where they were. I'm more mad at Spectra for what she did to us... She tried to tear us apart!

LAGOONA: She can't hurt us now...

CLAWDEEN: But what about the messages from the person claiming to be the killer?

LAGOONA: Yeah... It was freaky... and I couldn't sleep because of that, but what if Spectra was just pranking us?

CLAWDEEN: Or what if Spectra is the killer and this isn't over?

LAGOONA: I mean, she has more motive to kill Invisi Billy, but it's over now... Spectra is far away from here.

CLAWDEEN: You're right! But I have a gut-feeling this isn't over.

### Scene 2

In Mr. Rotter's classroom...

ROTTER: I have everyone's dead language test results... and you've all failed! Should I recommend Bloodgood to hold you all back for 600 years?

DEUCE: C'mon, Mr. Rotter... We've all been stressed out over the killer.

ROTTER: No excuses!

Frankie Stein and Draculaura have a conversation.

FRANKIE: Shit! My parents are going to force me to study every night.

DRACULAURA: Same! With all this murder-mystery stuff, my father somehow still manages to play the parent card.

FRANKIE: My guess is Mr. Rotter is the killer!

Both girls laugh.

DRACULAURA: As if. He probably doesn't know how to work email, so if the person who sent us knows how to use a computer, it's obvious that it has to be a student.

Frankie laughs.

ROTTER: Miss Stein... Is there something you'd like to share with the class?

FRANKIE: Umm... No! Sorry.

ROTTER: If you and Draculaura spent less time gossiping and giggling, maybe you would actually pass one of my dead language tests.

FRANKIE: But like what Deuce said, it's hard to concentrate because I'm convinced the killer is still out there.

CLEO: Yeah, right! The killer was obvi Spectra, and now she's out of our lives... No doubt because shady Bloodgood doesn't want to bring attention to the normies.

The door knocks, and Clawrk Wolf and Dracula enter. They walk over to Mr. Rotter and whisper to him.

DRACULAURA: Oh my god! What is my dad doing here?

Frankie shrugs her shoulders.

FRANKIE: Let's see...

ROTTER: Scarah Screams?

Scarah Screams looks up from her desk and looks around as everyone is staring at her.

SCARAH: Are you here to arrest me?

CLAWRK: No, but we are still investigating Invisi Billy's death. And we believe you were involved in a relationship with the deceased, right?

SCARAH: (gulps) Yeah...

Scarah is then escorted out of the school.

### Scene 3

In the creepateria, Frankie, Draculaura, Clawdeen, and Lagoona discuss the scathing email sent from their suspected killer.

FRANKIE: This doesn't make sense... Scarah can't be the killer. She was with me when she sensed Invisi Billy's death.

CLAWDEEN: Yeah, but couldn't she have faked it?

FRANKIE: I guess it's possible, but it seemed genuine, with the glass breaking in Mr. Rotter's classroom.

DRACULAURA: Maybe, but who sent us these texts?

LAGOONA: Spectra, obvi. I swear, she's messing with us.

CLAWDEEN: Or it's Scarah confessing her sins.

FRANKIE: Or it was someone else.

DRACULAURA: But who?

Cleo walks over.

CLEO: What are you ghouls talking about?

DRACULAURA: Our secret messenger...claiming to be the real killer.

CLEO: It's obviously Scarah... that dumb Banshee is a psycho, she screams over the death of others... That's not supernatural, that's one trip to the insane asylum.

FRANKIE: But you were so sure Spectra was the killer earlier?

CLEO: Oh! I still think she's a suspect, too... I'm just keeping my options open.

LAGOONA: Then what do we do?

FRANKIE: Ghoulia can hack the text and maybe find our messenger?

CLEO: That's impossible.

FRANKIE: Why?

CLEO: Zombie holiday... obvi!

LAGOONA: Then who else can help us?

CLAWDEEN: Robecca?

DRACULAURA: I suppose that could work... who better to understand technology than a robot?

FRANKIE: Yeah!

Frankie gets up out of her seat.

FRANKIE: We have to find Robecca ASAP!

The ghouls then leave, but Cleo stops Clawdeen.

CLEO: So is Draculaura okay?

CLAWDEEN: Yeah! But if you're planning on rubbing it in her face.. Don't bother.

CLEO: Me? I wouldn't.

CLAWDEEN: Good... Because you broke up with Clawd.

CLEO: So did Draculaura... Yet you're still friends with her.

CLAWDEEN: I stopped being your friend once you dated Clawd's best friend a day after breaking his heart.

CLEO: I wanted to break his heart because he broke mine.

CLAWDEEN: Huh?

CLEO: The summer, during that party I had while my dad was out of town. While you were away helping Lagoona clean vomit out of her hair, the rest of us played spin the bottle, and well, Clawd kissed another girl.

CLAWDEEN: Seriously, Cleo? How insecure are you?

CLEO: Not just any girl... He's had his eye on her for as long as I can remember, and I knew the moment he kissed her, I was screwed, and I needed to break his heart before he destroyed mine.

Cleo walks away.

FRANKIE: What was all that about?

CLAWDEEN: It's just... something from a long time ago... Let's focus on the current mission for now.

### Scene 4

At the police station, Scarah is interrogated...

CLAWRK: So Scarah... You were invol-

SCARAH: I didn't do it!

DRACULA: We were actually wanting to ask you about your relationship with Invisi Billy.

SCARAH: Oh. Well, I loved him, but he was dating Spectra. But I guess a game of spin the bottle brought us a little closer.

CLAWRK: Spectra?

SCARAH: His girlfriend at the time of his death.

DRACULA: Why weren't we told about this?

SCARAH: Oh, I guess they had to keep it a secret from Invisi Billy's dad... He hated Spectra.

CLAWRK: And where's Spectra now?

SCARAH: Last I checked, Spectra was shipped off to Haunted High. She caused so much trouble for everyone! I'm glad she's gone.

DRACULA: Shit! Haunted High is located in the ghost world... We have no way of getting there! I'm going to talk to Bloodgood about everything, and I will take Scarah home until we sort this out.

CLAWRK: Should I come?

DRACULA: No! I mean... You have to write this on our report... No need to make it weird...

Scarah looks at Dracula.

DRACULA (MIND): I don't know how long I can keep this secret romance with Bloodgood up.

SCARAH: Oh shit.

Back at Monster High...

FRANKIE: So Robecca, can you help us?

ROBECCA: Well, I guess you do have yourselves a bit of a problem.

CLAWDEEN: A bit?

DRACULAURA: More like a lot.

ROBECCA: But why would the killer be contacting you ghouls?

FRANKIE: Beats me.

LAGOONA: Can you help us?

ROBECCA: Well, I can try... But who wants to give me their iCoffin for me to experiment on?

The girls look around.

CLAWDEEN: I guess I'll do it.

Clawdeen hands her iCoffin over to Robecca.

FRANKIE: Okay... Rebecca, tell us as soon as possible when you find something out.

ROBECCA: Okay.

DRACULAURA: We're finally going to find out who our mystery messenger is!

LAGOONA: Guys, I have to go for a swim meet.

Lagoona leaves.

### Scene 5

In Bloodgood's office, Headless Headmistress Bloodgood and Dracula talk.

BLOODGOOD: Well, I do believe you have a problem... I transferred Spectra to Haunted High.

DRACULA: I know that, but is there a way you can bring her back to discuss her involvement with Invisi Billy?

BLOODGOOD: I'm afraid I can't help. Only ghosts can enter the ghost world.

DRACULA: Shit! Well, did she confess to anything before she left, at least?

BLOODGOOD: Well, there was one thing...

In a flashback, Bloodgood and Spectra Vondergeist sit in her office.

BLOODGOOD: Well, Spectra you are a problematic student... Exploiting the students' secrets is one step closer to exposing all of us to the humans. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you're leaving Monster High, immediately... You're going to Haunted High!

SPECTRA: Well, before I leave, it's only fair I confess to some things... I was the one who exposed Invisi Billy's death to the normies.

BLOODGOOD: WHAT!? Are you insane?

SPECTRA: Just desperate to find answers to who killed my boyfriend.

BLOODGOOD: Anything else you'd like to confess too?

SPECTRA: Ummm... Oh yeah! I lied about being blackmailed about Invisi Billy's killer to those who I also happened to blackmail into giving me information.

Back in Bloodgood's office...

DRACULA: Why did you let her go?

BLOODGOOD: Because she was a social pariah who was going to expose us all to the humans, and I refuse to hide away.

DRACULA: Shit!

BLOODGOOD: I know something that will cheer you up.

Bloodgood walks over to Dracula and kisses him.

DRACULA: Isn't this secret killing you too?

BLOODGOOD: The secret is what makes it more exciting.

They both continue to kiss.

### Scene 6

At the swimming pool...

COACH: Okay, great work everyone! You're now free to leave.

Everyone walks away, as Gil Webber and Lagoona talk.

GIL: I really need to become captain of the swim team.

LAGOONA: I'm sure you'll get it!

COACH: Lagoona! Can we talk?

LAGOONA: Sure!

Lagoona walks over to the coach.

COACH: How do you feel becoming captain of the swim team?

Lagoona looks over at Gil, then back at the coach.

LAGOONA: Ummm... Me? Really?

COACH: You've done great this year... and I want you to become swim team captain!

LAGOONA: Wait! I can't.

COACH: Why?

LAGOONA: Gil! He wants to be captain.

COACH: Well, being captain will look great on a college application.

LAGOONA: Ummm...

COACH: All I'm saying is think about it, I don't want your talent to go waste.

The swim meet coach leaves.

LAGOONA (V.O.): ***Shit! Why me?***

At the front gate of the school, the ghouls meet up.

FRANKIE: Robecca told us to meet her here.

CLAWDEEN: OMG! I wonder what she found?

Robecca walks over.

ROBECCA: Ghouls!

DRACULAURA: Robecca! What have you found?

ROBECCA: Well, I found something.

LAGOONA: Yeah, but what did you find?

ROBECCA: I couldn't find anything like a person's name... But it's certain that your messenger isn't Spectra or Scarah...

CLEO: Oh my Ra! What do we do?

FRANKIE: We have to find out who this person is... Thanks Robecca!

Robecca hands Clawdeen her iCoffin back and walks away.

The ghouls receive a text message and look at their phones. It's from the person claiming to be Invisi Billy's killer.

It reads:

"Roses are red, violets are blue. A ghoul gets snatched tonight... I wonder who?"

CLAWDEEN: What the fuck?

FRANKIE: We have to go home where it's safer.

DRACULAURA: Yeah!

They begin to walk to their cars, while Cleo gets a text message from Deuce.

It reads:

"Come find me in the school..."

CLAWDEEN: Wait Cleo, it could be a trick.

CLEO: I'll be fine!

CLAWDEEN: Just looking out for you.

Cleo then goes back inside the school, while the rest of the girls leave to go home.

### Scene 7

At Draculaura's home, she gives Clawd a call and he answers.

DRACULAURA: Hi! How are you?

CLAWD: I'm doing good, I guess! How about you?

DRACULAURA: Not good! I'm sorry for what I did.

CLAWD: You did what you had to.

DRACULAURA: I don't want you to be angry at me forever.

CLAWD: I'm not angry at you... If I was more honest with our relationship, maybe you wouldn't have felt bad about lying to Clawdeen.

DRACULAURA: Maybe it's both our faults.

They both laugh and talk through the night.

### Final Scene

Cleo goes back to Monster High to look for Deuce. She checks the cooking club, where there's no one there. However, a letter is on the table.

CLEO: ...Huh?

Cleo grabs the letter. It reads:

"You found me."

CLEO: ...Deuce? Is this some kind of joke? Well ha ha, very funny, you can come out no--

Suddenly, someone tranquilizes Cleo on her back. The latter falls to the ground and the masked individual pushes the fire alarm, causing everyone in the hall to run out of the school. The masked individual then runs away carrying Cleo when no one's looking.

A rustling comes from the bushes, where Ghoulia, or another figure, emerges.

???: (mind) Oh no, not again, not another murder!
