## Episode

### Opening Scene

The following day, Lagoona walks in front of the school...

LAGOONA (V.O.): ***Things haven't been the same since Ghostly Gossip's little surprise...***

She meets Frankie, Clawdeen, and Draculaura at the front of the school and gives them a hug.

LAGOONA: I hope you ghouls have been doing good...

LAGOONA (V.O.): ***I wasn't able to stop my dad from finding out the truth... And I worry the same for Gil's parents.***

In a flashback, Lagoona is feeding Neptuna when Wade appears.

WADE: Please, explain yourself?

LAGOONA: Huh?

Wade shows Lagoona the images of her and Gil on Ghostly Gossip's website...

WADE: Well...?

Back in the present day...

LAGOONA (V.O.): ***Me and Gil have to break up... But I can't worry about that right now, I have to win the swimming competition this afternoon. Besides...***

After Lagoona hugs Clawdeen...

LAGOONA: I'm going to (sigh)... Break-up with Gil.

DRACULAURA: What!?

FRANKIE: No!

CLAWDEEN: You guys can't!

LAGOONA: It's for the best.

LAGOONA (V.O.): ***Maybe the swimming competition would be a healthy distraction...***

(INTRO)

### Scene 1

In the girl's bathroom, Frankie, Clawdeen, and Draculaura are talking about Ghostly Gossip.

FRANKIE: Thanks to this bitch, she's ruined my friendship with Cleo... and now Jackson thinks I have a thing for Deuce.

DRACULAURA: Didn't you though?

FRANKIE: Used to!

CLAWDEEN: We have to find out who it is!

FRANKIE: Any ideas who?

DRACULAURA: I might have a theory!

FRANKIE: Who?

DRACULAURA: C.A.

FRANKIE: Why her?

DRACULAURA: She's interfering with me and Clawd... Not to mention after Cleo's party ended, I saw her on her iCoffin.

CLAWDEEN: I mean... it is suspicious, but that's not proof.

DRACULAURA: Do you have any, then?

CLAWDEEN: I guess Toralei.

Cleo walks in with Ghoulia.

FRANKIE: Oh!... Cleo.

Cleo walks over to Frankie and slaps her across the face.

CLEO: That's for lying to me... And now that I've got that out of my system...First order of business, I'm going to kill Ghostly Gossip.

DRACULAURA: We're trying to find out her identity right now...

CLEO: Any luck?

CLAWDEEN: No!

CLEO: (sigh) You amateurs... It's obviously Nefera!

CLAWDEEN: Why your sister?

CLEO: Only she would throw a party in my honor, just to get me in trouble.

The bell rings.

### Scene 2

Lagoona is practicing swimming, as Abbey and Frankie cheer her on. She gets out of the pool as Abbey hands her a towel.

FRANKIE: Oh my ghoul! You're getting faster.

LAGOONA: Thank you... Still not enough to win, though.

ABBEY: Nonsense, you are faster than Yaks on frosty summer day.

Lagoona and Frankie look at Abbey.

LAGOONA: Umm... Yeah... So I'm going to continue practicing.

FRANKIE: Isn't there something you got to do first?

LAGOONA: What is that?

Frankie looks over at Gil in the freshwater swimming pool.

LAGOONA: I know I said I have to break up with him, but I need to train first... I can't have something distracting me!

Lagoona storms off.

VENUS: You seem mad!

LAGOONA: Who the hell are you?

VENUS: I'm Venus! I'm a plant monster.

Venus demonstrates her power by making a dead rose revive itself.

LAGOONA: Wow! Neat trick.

VENUS: Thank you... I couldn't help overhearing your dilemma.

LAGOONA: Unless you got a solution...

VENUS: As a matter of fact, I do...

LAGOONA: Oh, really?

Venus takes out some pills and hands them over to Lagoona.

VENUS: Take two of these before a stressful performance, and you will fly by it in no time.

LAGOONA: I can't take drugs, though.

VENUS: Oh, Lagoona... I don't know you that well... But when are you going to stop being such a prude! Just break up with your boyfriend... Take two of these before the swimming competition, and no one has to know! Bye now...

Venus walks away, as Lagoona turns around to see Gil standing behind her.

GIL: You wanna break up with me?

LAGOONA: Oh, fuck!

Meanwhile, C.A. is giving Draculaura and Clawd a counseling session.

C.A.: Okay... We're going to try some trust exercises.

DRACULAURA: Oh...

C.A.: Problem, Draculaura?

DRACULAURA: Oh... Nothing... Just didn't realize "trust" was in your vocabulary.

C.A.: I'm sensing tension?

DRACULAURA: No shit, Sherlock!

CLAWD: Why are you being this way?

DRACULAURA: Maybe because you're involving this stranger into our relationship!

CLAWD: I know... But she's here to help!

DRACULAURA: (sigh)

They both get up.

C.A.: Let's start with trust falls...

DRACULAURA: Oh... C'mon! Our relationship isn't that bad... Maybe I'm a little crazy, but I don't think our relationship is THAT bad!

C.A.: Draculaura... Can we have a talk?

### Scene 3

In the hallway, Cleo is spying on Nefera...

CLEO: Okay, let's see what Satan herself is up to...

Cleo reveals a bracelet on her wrist, shaped like a snake which goes down her arm...

CLEO: Okay, Hissette... Dig up dirt for mama!

Hissette goes to follow Nefera, as Mr. D'eath appears behind Cleo.

D'EATH: Cleo, can we talk?

CLEO: WAHHH! I mean... umm... Not now.

D'EATH: It's about your kiss!

CLEO: Shhh!... And I'm sorry about that, but I'm kinda busy.

D'eath grabs Cleo by the arm which catches the attention of Deuce.

DEUCE: Hey, what's going on here?

CLEO: Oh... Uh... Nothing!

Cleo walks away, while Deuce angrily stares down D'eath.

Meanwhile, Lagoona and Gil are talking at the bleachers.

GIL: I guess you're right!... Maybe we should break-up. We aren't functioning like a normal couple should!

LAGOONA: I know... (sigh) I'm sorry! And I know this is going to sound really cliched, but we can still be friends.

GIL: I'd like that. And I'm sorry that it turned out to be this way.

They both hug as a tear runs down Lagoona's face.

LAGOONA (V.O.): ***It was for the best... But why do I feel incredibly dead inside?***

### Scene 4

C.A. is talking with Draculaura in the hallway...

C.A.: What is your problem with me?

DRACULAURA: What is MY problem with you?... Don't make me laugh! You're incredibly shady... I help you find out what species you are, and in return, you go behind my back and advice that me and my boyfriend do couple's counsel-

C.A. begins to clap ironically.

C.A.: You're very smart, vampire!

DRACULAURA: Huh?

C.A.: You and Clawd don't belong together! You're both mortal enemy species... It can't work out!

DRACULAURA: Fuck you!

C.A.: That's exactly what I want Clawd to do with me!

DRACULAURA: (laughs) Over my hot undead body!

C.A.: I don't have to hurt you to get Clawd's attention!... I just need cupcakes spiked with a love potion.

Draculaura looks over and sees Clawd about to eat a cupcake and slow motion runs to knock it out of his hands, which rolls over at Slo Mo's feet who then eats it and develops an attraction towards Clawd...

SLO MO: (GROAN!)

DRACULAURA: Oh, fuck!

CLAWD: Draculaura! What is your problem?

DRACULAURA: Nothing!!!... Well, actually....

Draculaura looks over and sees Slo Mo petting Clawd's hair.

DRACULAURA: Oh, my! This is...unexpected!

In the fashion club, Skelita is modeling for a dress designed by Jinafire, Clawdeen, and Catty.

CLAWDEEN: Oh yass! This dress looks bomb.

JINAFIRE: I know... I'm gagged!

SKELITA: Gee, that sounds revolting!

CLAWDEEN: What do you think, Catty?

Catty appears distant until Clawdeen puts her hand on Catty's shoulder.

CLAWDEEN: Are you okay?

CATTY: Yeah... I'm fine.

SKELITA: Are you sure?

CATTY: Yeah... Just tired from homework last night... Actually, I have to go!

Catty quickly exits.

CLAWDEEN: Jinafire, can you take over? I have to help Catty!

Clawdeen follows Catty.

CLAWDEEN: CATTY! What's wrong?

CATTY: Not now, Clawdeen... There's nothing you can do!

CLAWDEEN: Well, maybe I can?

CATTY: This Ghostly Gossiper...

CLAWDEEN: What about her?

CATTY: Well, let's just say you and your friends aren't the only ones with secrets.

Catty walks away as Toralei walks past Clawdeen...

TORALEI: Someone looks pissed!

CLAWDEEN: Eat shit, Toralei!

Clawdeen walks back into the fashion club, flipping Toralei off.

### Scene 5

At the Gory Gazette office, Ghoulia is typing in an article when Draculaura storms in.

DRACULAURA: Ghoulia! I need your help!

GHOULIA: (GROAN?)

DRACULAURA: Well... It's a very long story but basically, C.A. accidentally made Slo Mo crush on Clawd.

GHOULIA: (GROAN?!)

DRACULAURA: Yeah... We need to revert things back ASAP!

GHOULIA: (GROAN!)

Draculaura and Ghoulia leave their office. As soon as they are gone, a mysterious figure enters the room.

???: Oh wow... So many memories here...

The mysterious figure reaches out to the laptop and starts writing. Hissette, who has been hiding in a bookshelf, briefly watches the mysterious figure before quickly leaving the room.

Meanwhile, Cleo and Deuce are talking.

DEUCE: What was that all about?

CLEO: Nothing!

DEUCE: He grabbed you by the arm and you want to tell me nothing happened?

CLEO: I don't wanna talk about that right now... I wanna talk about us.

Cleo holds Deuce's hand.

CLEO: I am very upset with you over what you did... But I know I also haven't been the best girlfriend. I pushed you away all summer and gave you no indication of what was going on. However... I love you, Deuce. And I think... That if we try hard enough... We can rebuild our relationship.

DEUCE: Oh, wow... Cleo... Of course!

Deuce and Cleo kiss each other as Toralei and Purrsephone walk in.

TORALEI: Aww, I'm so happy you two are back together!

CLEO: Oh god... Can you two just fuck off already?

PURRSEPHONE: Oh wow, Cleo, don't be so rude... I guess you can grow a bad temper when you start lying to your boyfriend about your affair with the guidance counselor...

CLEO: WHAT?!

DEUCE: What are they talking about Cleo?

CLEO: Umm... I...

TORALEI: It's all over Ghostly Gossip's blog.

Toralei briefly shows Deuce and Cleo the new article.

DEUCE: ...I can't believe you right now.

CLEO: Wait, Deuce!

Deuce storms off.

CLEO: You little cunt!

Cleo throws herself at Toralei but Purrsephone blocks her. Cleo bites her arm hard.

PURRSEPHONE: OW! You bit me! But nice try, bitch.

Toralei and Purrsephone walk away, giggling. Suddenly, Hissette comes back and Cleo picks her up.

CLEO: This better be worth it. What did you find out?

### Scene 6

Before the swimming competition, Lagoona is looking at the pills Venus gave her.

LAGOONA (V.O.): ***All I kept thinking was... Don't do it, Lagoona. You can beat this without the pills.***

Lagoona grabs two pills and takes them.

LAGOONA (V.O.): ***But this was something I couldn't afford to lose. Not right now.***

At the swimming competition, everyone is sitting down in the bleachers. Draculaura and Ghoulia are sitting next to Slo Mo, Clawd, and Clawdeen, as Slo Mo is caressing Clawd's face, with Clawd uneasily trying to distance himself away from Slo Mo.

SLO MO: (GROAN)

CLAWDEEN: Um... Ok. So how can we revert this?

DRACULAURA: Well... That psycho love crazy bitch did mention that she had spiked the cupcake with a love potion... There has to be an anti-love potion somewhere, right?

CLAWD: Good thinking!

SLO MO: (GROAN!)

Slo Mo slaps Draculaura's hand.

CLEO: I have important news! But first... Why is Slo Mo caressing Clawd and telling Draculaura to stay away from Clawd's "strong manly arms that were tailor-made by God himself"?

DRACULAURA: It's a very long story... I heard about the Ghostly Gossip thing-

CLEO: I don't wanna talk about that! The only thing I wanna talk about is how in the hell are we going to murder that bitch?!

Suddenly, Frankie shows up.

FRANKIE: Hey guys, what did I miss?

Everyone stares blankly at her.

SLO MO: (GROAN)

Suddenly, the swimming competition starts.

FRANKIE: GO LAGOONA! WOO!

CLAWDEEN: Guys, we have to find out who Ghostly Gossip is! Fast!

CLEO: Actually, that's what I wanna talk to you about. Hissette found someone entering the Gory Gazette office, and she thinks it's Ghostly Gossip!

GHOULIA: (GROAN!)

DRACULAURA: Well, actually, me and Clawd should go looking for a way to fix this love potion problem thing. But you guys can fill me in on the details later.

The ghouls, Clawd, and Slo Mo leave as Lagoona is about to enter the pool. She starts swimming really fast.

LAGOONA (V.O.): ***To my surprise, Venus was right! The pills made me faster and at this speed, there was nothing that could stop me.***

However, Lagoona starts getting slower and slower until she faints on the pool. Everyone rushes to the pool to try and rescue her.

### Scene 7

Cleo, Ghoulia, Clawdeen, and Frankie enter the Gory Gazette office, only to find Ghoulia's laptop on, with the Ghostly Gossip blog page open.

FRANKIE: I think it's safe to say Ghostly Gossip was here.

CLAWDEEN: Ok... But how are we going to track that bitch down?

CLEO: Hmm...

GHOULIA: (GROAN)

CLEO: Great idea!

Cleo writes a post on Ghostly Gossip's blog.

"Hey GG... I am an anonymous source and I have found out something quite scandalous. Come to the gymnasium if you would like to hear about this tea."

CLEO: Sounds good?

FRANKIE: Great!

CLAWDEEN: So I'm guessing we are going to try and trap her in the gymnasium?

CLEO: Yep!

Cleo posts the post and the ghouls leave to the gymnasium when they run into Robecca and Rochelle.

ROCHELLE: Hi! I hope you don't mind, we overheard your conversation back there... I hope you don't mind if we come along?

ROBECCA: Yeah, I have an idea how we can catch Ghostly Gossip.

The ghouls look at each other.

Later in the gym...

The ghouls are waiting for Ghostly Gossip to show up.

CLAWDEEN: Do you really think all these weapons will be needed? We're trying to find out who a mysterious blogger is, not trying to track down and kill a serial killer.

ROBECCA: You never know, Clawdeen, you always have to be ready for these sorts of situations.

Suddenly someone enters the gym.

DRACULAURA: Well, case solved! We tried looking for an anti-love potion but finally the potion wore off so-

ROBECCA: IT'S THE GHOSTLY GOSSIP!

Robecca grabs a gun that stuns ghosts and shoots at Draculaura.

DRACULAURA: AAA! What the hell?!

ROBECCA: Oops, sorry ghoulfriend, didn't see you there.

Draculaura gets closer to the ghouls.

ROCHELLE: Hey, Draculaura, can I talk to you in private?

DRACULAURA: Last time someone asked to speak to me in private, someone ended up getting love poisoned, but yes, sure.

Rochelle and Draculaura go to the bleachers.

ROCHELLE: So, I've heard about your situation with Clawd...

DRACULAURA: Yeah... We're not exactly in the best place right now.

ROCHELLE: I just wanted to say that this reminded me a lot of me when I had to go away to Monster High and leave my boyfriend.

CLAWDEEN: Oh, you have a boyfriend?

ROCHELLE: Yep! His name is Garrott, and he is super handsome and sweet... I haven't seen him since summer, but we chat everyday.

DRACULAURA: Really?

ROCHELLE: Yeah... I guess not every long distance relationship works out but... with the right effort, it can work out.

DRACULAURA: I guess... I'm just so scared of losing Clawd, I guess I've been acting so paranoid.

ROCHELLE: Believe me, I know the feeling.

Suddenly, they hear the sound of a camera flashing.

FRANKIE: Someone's here!

CLEO: It has to be the Ghostly Gossip!

ROBECCA: Oh, you're going down, pal!

Robecca shoots at the air with the gun that stuns ghosts, revealing the mysterious figure's identity.

EVERYONE: (GASP!)

ROCHELLE: Um... Who are you?

CLEO: I can't believe it... SPECTRA?!

The Ghostly Gossip is revealed to be Spectra Vondergeist, who is now standing in front of them.

SPECTRA: The one and only!

CLAWDEEN: You have a LOT of nerve coming back here after everything you've done!

SPECTRA: What can I say? Haunted High was soooo boring... I had to find my tea somewhere else... And I'm kinda jealous, because this year's been juicier than the last!

FRANKIE: We should've known it was you all along!

SPECTRA: Right, that's what I was thinking!

In a flashback to the End of Summer beach party, Frankie and Deuce are talking as Spectra is snapping pictures of them together, while also filming the conversation.

In another flashback, Lagoona is breaking up with Gil outside her house while Spectra is hiding in the bushes nearby, recording their conversation.

In yet another flashback, after Hissette leaves the room, Spectra sits down in Ghoulia's chair and logs in to the Ghostly Gossip's blog, as she writes about Cleo and D'eath.

SPECTRA: Sooo yeah, I pretty much exposed your entire lives for my own enjoyment!

DRACULAURA: You have to take the blog posts down! Some are just rumors!

SPECTRA: Exactly! The key word there is "some"! Let's not forget I had evidence to Frankie and Deuce's little dialogue at the beach, Lagoona and Gil's makeout... Actually more than the makeout... WAY more than just the makeout... Oh, and also, Clawdeen keeping secrets from her friends.

CLAWDEEN: You bitch...

SPECTRA: Aww! I just feel so glad to be back in Monster High... Who knows? I may even join the Fear Squad!

Spectra smirks and leaves the gymnasium, as the ghouls all look at each other.

CLAWDEEN: Everyone knows she has hell to pay... and I'm going to be the one to kick her ghostly, transparent, gossip-hunting ass!

### Scene 8

After Lagoona is feeling better, she is in the girls' locker room, packing up her stuff.

LAGOONA (V.O.): ***I felt so bad after the swimming competition. I couldn't even imagine what my dad would say if he found out, and the fact that I actually took drugs... I just kept thinking "What was wrong with me?".***

Suddenly, Lagoona hears crying coming from the swimming pool.

LAGOONA (V.O.): ***As I came to find out, I wasn't the only person who was having a bad day at that moment.***

Lagoona goes to the swimming pool as she sees Catty crying in the bleachers.

LAGOONA: Catty!

Catty jumps when she sees Lagoona.

CATTY: AAA! Jesus, you scared the fuck out of me!

LAGOONA: ...Sorry. Are you OK?

CATTY: Umm... I... Are you?

LAGOONA: Huh?

CATTY: Oh, I'm talking about the swimming thing. I heard about what happened.

LAGOONA: Yeah, I'm better now...

CATTY: Great...

Lagoona is about to leave when suddenly Catty calls her name out.

CATTY: Lagoona...

LAGOONA: Yes?

CATTY: If I tell you something, no matter how... crazy and alarming it might sound... Promise this will stay between us, and only us?

LAGOONA: Of course... Besides, how bad can it really be?

CATTY: I killed someone.

LAGOONA: Huh?

CATTY: I... killed someone.

Catty starts to cry.

LAGOONA: Holy shit!

CATTY: Yeah, it's bad... Really bad.

LAGOONA: Wait, you don't mean... You're not the Serpent, right?

CATTY: Oh, God no! This was maybe six months before I ever got in Monster High.

In a flashback, Catty is walking in the park, being chased down by the paparazzi.

CATTY (V.O.): Because I was in the public's attention a lot, I was always being chased by the paparazzi.

Catty is running away from them until the coast is clear. She waits for them to go away and after they do, she comes out of her hiding spot and accidentally hits a guy walking in front of her.

CATTY: Oh my God! I'm so sorry, are you OK?

BOY: Yeah, I am... Are you?

The boy extends his hand and helps Catty get back up.

CATTY: I am now.

They both laugh mildly.

BOY: Hey... You're Catty Noir! Oh my god, my sister loves you!

CATTY: ...Thanks.

BOY: What's wrong?

CATTY: Oh, nothing! I'm sorry, it's just... Can I be real with you for a second?

BOY: Sure.

Later, they're in a diner, having lunch.

CATTY (V.O.): We ended up having lunch and we really hit it off!

CATTY: So I guess I'm just so sick of being in the public eye... I'm sorry for rambling, I just needed to talk to someone.

BOY: Nah, it's OK. You're actually super pleasant to talk with.

CATTY: Thanks!

The waitress passes by their table.

CATTY: Oh, excuse me... Could you bring me some tequila shots?

WAITRESS: Um... Sure.

BOY: Wait, tequila shots?

CATTY: What? I wanna live a little.

CATTY (V.O.): And then... things took a turn.

Later, Catty is driving the car with her date by her side.

BOY: Catty, can you please slow down? You're going way too fast! Please, let's switch seats.

CATTY: NO! If I wanna drive this car, I will drive this car... I am sick of people telling me what to do! I am Catty fucking Noir and I can do whatever I want and-

BOY: CATTY, LOOK OUT!

CATTY: Huh?

Catty's car ends up flying off a cliff and crashes into some trees.

After some time, Catty wakes up and notices the boy at her side dead.

CATTY: Oh... My... GOD!

Catty leaves the car and before anyone sees her, she shapeshifts into a panther and flees the scene.

CATTY (V.O.): I was so scared, I didn't know what to do. But luckily, someone came to rescue me.

Catty is looking at her contact list and calls Nefera de Nile.

CATTY: Hello? Nefera... I am so sorry if I'm interrupting you or anything, but... I have a serious problem!

The scene cuts to Nefera and Catty destroying evidence.

CATTY (V.O.): Nefera ended up helping me with that... And I don't know what would have happened to me if she didn't come to rescue me.

Back to present day...

LAGOONA: Holy shit...

CATTY: Yeah... That was also the main reason why I came to Monster High... After that, I couldn't focus on my music anymore, because of the trauma I went through. And now Nefera probably hates me because of the mess I put her through.

LAGOONA: Wow... I don't know what to say.

CATTY: And now with the Ghostly Gossip thing... What if it comes out?

Catty keeps on crying as Lagoona comforts her.

LAGOONA: Listen to me... I think you should apologize to Nefera.

CATTY: Yeah, you're probably right. I will... But first I need to focus.

LAGOONA: Yeah... Well, keep me updated.

CATTY: Definitely!

Catty starts walking away but she turns to Lagoona.

CATTY: Oh, and Lagoona?

LAGOONA: Yes?

CATTY: Thanks... For listening to me.

LAGOONA: You're welcome...

Catty walks away.

LAGOONA (V.O.): ***Listening to Catty kinda put my own things into perspective. I guess I should try to fix my issues right now, because my life could be taken away at any moment... And if I was going to fix my problems, I was going to start with Gil.***

Suddenly, the ghouls walk in.

DRACULAURA: Lagoona! We heard what happened!

The ghouls hug Lagoona.

CLAWDEEN: Are you feeling better?

LAGOONA: Yeah...

FRANKIE: You are not going to believe what just-

CLAWDEEN: Frankie... Let her recover, we can tell her what happened later.

LAGOONA: Um, ok.

The ghouls laugh and keep talking.

### Final Scene

In the evening, Mr. D'eath is leaving Monster High when suddenly he hears creature noises.

MR. D'EATH: Oh god...

Mr. D'eath runs to his car and tries to turn it on but it's not working.

MR. D'EATH: FUCK!

Suddenly, a claw reaches out and opens the driver's door and pulls Mr. D'eath out of the car.

MR. D'EATH: AAAAAAAHHHH! HELP ME, HELP ME, HELPPPP!

The Serpent gets on top of Mr. D'eath, pulls out his heart and shatters it, killing Mr. D'eath. Then, The Serpent flees the scene.

(END)
