## Episode

### Opening Scene

Clawdeen Wolf wakes up in her bedroom. After getting dressed, she opens her drawer and takes out the amulet.

HARRIET: CLAWDEEN! You're going to be late for school!

CLAWDEEN: I'm coming, mom!

Clawdeen puts the amulet in her bag and goes downstairs, and sees her mom, Harriet Wolf in the kitchen.

HARRIET: Get on the bus, you're going to be late!

CLAWDEEN: Mom, we have to talk.

HARRIET: Not now! After school. You're going to be late. Also, I want to see you at your brother's football game.

CLAWDEEN: I will be there... I'm fearleading.

HARRIET: Okay, now get to school!

Clawdeen walks to the door.

CLAWDEEN (V.O.): ***I need to ask Mom about her and Dad's money issues... I can't trust Howleen until I know the truth.***

(INTRO)

### Scene 1

In the boy's locker room, Deuce Gorgon, Clawd Wolf, Heath Burns, Gil Webber and others are getting dressed for the football game when Headless Headmistress Bloodgood bursts into the room.

BLOODGOOD: Sorry to barge in, but we have a problem. Get dressed and meet me on the football field!

Bloodgood leaves.

HEATH: What's the problem?

DEUCE: What do you think? We have no coach!

HEATH: Oh!

GIL: Coach Igor is still off from that toe infection?

CLAWD: Yeah.

HEATH: This is his third toe infection this week!

DEUCE: Dude's a mess.

CLAWD: Yeah, seriously.

All the boys cringe in disgust before heading out to the football field.

The boys are met outside with Bloodgood.

BLOODGOOD: Okay, boys! I believe you are already aware of Coach Igor's "infection"... Unfortunately, that means we don't have a coach to help you go up against the wolves of Crescent Moon High.

DEUCE: So, are you going to take over?

BLOODGOOD: No! I'm far too busy... Nightmare will take over!

Nightmare comes out of a portal of black smoke, and gallops over to the boys.

CLAWD: Um, a horse?

Deuce: With all due respect, Headmistress Bloodgood, how is a horse supposed to help a whole team go up against Crescent Moon High?

BLOODGOOD: Not just any horse... She's a demonic horse and my prized possession! Okay, now begin!

Heath: If you say so...

The boys begin practicing.

### Scene 2

Clawdeen is running in the woods, and makes it to the waterfall. She takes out the amulet and debates whether or not to throw it away.

CLAWDEEN (V.O.): ***If I throw this away... it would only make Howleen look more guilty... but if I keep it then... I look guilty!***

LAGOONA: Clawdeen!

Clawdeen panics and accidentally throws the amulet off the bridge and down the waterfall.

CLAWDEEN: Shit!

She sees the amulet float downstream.

Clawdeen: Aw, that's DEFINITELY going to bite me in the butt later. Oh no, here she comes. Quick, Clawdeen, act natural.

She steps a few feet away from the bridge before waving to Lagoona in the shrinking distance.

LAGOONA: Clawdeen, you're late for school, too?

CLAWDEEN: Yeah... How did things go with Ghoulia?

LAGOONA: Oh, we don't know yet... Because the investigation is still ongoing, we won't know until things are certain.

CLAWDEEN: I just want this whole murder-mystery to be over with!

LAGOONA: Same. We're late for Cleo's fearleading routine. (sigh)

CLAWDEEN: Then we better be going to school. Quickly.

They both walk to school, as it's revealed that the amulet didn't get lost in the waterfall but remains on a cliff.

Clawdeen: (thinking) Oh, thank god...

LAGOONA: Where were you when we were at the police station?

CLAWDEEN: Oh! Umm... I... uh... My... My mom needed help moving furniture.

LAGOONA: During school hours?

CLAWDEEN: Yeah! She's redecorating the Bed & Breakfast, and needed my help.

LAGOONA: So... Me and Gil-

CLAWDEEN: Oh my god! Did you two go on a date?

LAGOONA: Yes!

CLAWDEEN: So, did anything happen?

LAGOONA: We kissed!

CLAWDEEN: AAAA! I'm so proud of you.

LAGOONA: But we're keeping our relationship on the down-low because of our parents.

CLAWDEEN: Why are parents so shady?

LAGOONA: You can say that again, sis... Now, let's get to fearleading practice before Cleo mummifies us.

CLAWDEEN (V.O.): ***Great... That's all I need.***

### Scene 3

At the police station, Ramses de Nile arrives in and goes over to Clawrk Wolf.

RAMSES: Well, congratulations... Your daughter isn't the killer.... But she's still a thief.

CLAWRK: I don't understand... You were certain Howleen had the same amulet as the one stolen from Cleo's locker.

Ramses takes out the amulet.

RAMSES: Does this look like the one Cleo described?

Clawrk looks at the amulet.

CLAWRK: No... But it does look familiar.

RAMSES: Yes... It's Cleo's. I got it for her birthday last year and it disappeared.

CLAWRK: I'm sorry about Howleen... I promise it won't happen again.

RAMSES: You think this is over?

CLAWRK: Huh?

RAMSES: The killer is still out there, and I know it's not my daughter.

CLAWRK: And I know it isn't my daughter.

RAMSES: Well, it seems we are at a...disagreement.

He puts his chin on his hands and his elbows on the table.

CLAWRK: It seems so.

He puts his arms on the other side of the table, with one arm propping up his chin.

They both growl and move closer to each other before looking at the shadow moving closer to them, revealing himself to be Dracula.

Dracula walks over.

DRACULA: Hey... We're done with Cleo's iCoffin, so she can take it back... We've got what we need.

Dracula hands over Cleo's iCoffin to Ramses.

RAMSES: Thanks, Dracula.

Ramses leaves.

CLAWRK: What have you found out about Cleo?

DRACULA: Well... she's more incriminating than we initially thought... I found this picture on her iCoffin of the victim Invisi Billy making out with a girl.

CLAWRK: Who?

DRACULA: We don't know yet... I'm going over to Monster High to find out more.

### Scene 4

Back at Monster High, the boys continue to practice. Clawd stops to watch Draculaura practice her fearleading routine. Deuce Gorgon takes notice of this and automatically thinks he is checking out Cleo de Nile. He throws a football at Clawd's head, who turns around with his eyes glowing yellow.

CLAWD: What the hell, man?

DEUCE: Get back to practice!

Clawd walks up to Deuce.

CLAWD: What's your problem?

DEUCE: You were checking out Cleo. She's my girlfriend, and you don't have the right to stare at MY GIRLFRIEND!

CLAWD: You didn't have the right to throw that football at my head, you snake-headed idiot!

Deuce: Why you little-

They both start arguing while Clawd throws the football down in anger. Heath notices this and decides to break up the fight.

Heath walks over.

HEATH: Whoa, guys, calm down! Let's get back to playing football.

They both grunt in exasperation as they continue playing football while making threatening hand signals to each other.

Clawdeen and Lagoona appear over to the Fear Squad.

CLEO: Clawdeen, Lagoona! Why are we late?

CLAWDEEN: I overslept.

LAGOONA: Same.

CLEO: Well, this is simply unacceptable.

LAGOONA: Sorry, Cleo. I promise it won't happen again.

CLEO: Well?

CLAWDEEN: Well.. what?

CLEO: Well, aren't you going to apologize?

CLAWDEEN: Yeah... Sorry.

CLEO: Now that that's over with... I have excellent news to bring to you ghouls!

FRANKIE: What is it?

CLEO: When the fearleading squad performs tonight... We will be doing it with a special guest.

DRACULAURA: Special guest?

CLEO: Will you hoes let me finish!? Geez! Anyways... Catty Noir will be performing with us tonight!

FRANKIE: Wow! Really?

CLEO: Have I ever lied?

CLAWDEEN: Umm... Yes.

Lagoona: When has she not, though? That is the question.

CLEO: Clawdeen, meet me at the bleachers!

At the bleachers...

CLEO: Clawdeen, I don't think you recognize my authority...

CLAWDEEN: Huh?

CLEO: I know we've not been close since well, you know... But that's no reason for you to talk down to me in front of others!

CLAWDEEN: You know what, Cleo... I've had enough of you telling me what to do... And it's always been that way since I first met you... and I won't deal with it anymore! If I can't be a member of the fearleading squad... Then I quit!

CLEO: What!?

CLAWDEEN: You heard me... I quit!

CLEO: Fine! You sucked anyways!

Clawdeen: Try saying that to your broken relationships!

Clawdeen storms off, forcing open the doors of the gymnasium.

Cleo walks back over to the girls with her hands on her head in a frustrated manner.

DRACULAURA: Where's Clawdeen going?

CLEO: Hell!... Okay, ladies! Back to work.

Clawdeen walks through the school and goes into the music room, shutting the door behind her.

CATTY: Can I help you?

Clawdeen turns around and sees Catty Noir.

CLAWDEEN: Oh my ghoul! You're Catty Noir.

CATTY: The one and only.

### Scene 5

Clawdeen and Catty are chatting in the music room...

CLAWDEEN: Can I ask you something?

CATTY: Sure!

CLAWDEEN: Why do this... Why go back to school... when you're a talented pop star!?

CATTY: Well, I wanted a chance to be normal.

CLAWDEEN: You're a werecat... Nothing "normal" about that.

CATTY: Well, normal-ish.

They both laugh.

CATTY: So, why are you so upset?

CLAWDEEN: Nothing... Just ghoul drama.

CATTY: Hey, do you want to help me?

CLAWDEEN: Sure, with what?

CATTY: I'm writing a new song for tonight's football game... and it's going to be my first live performance since well, you know. And I need your help to see if it sounds good.

CLAWDEEN: Oh my... I mean, YES!

CATTY: Great!

In the creepateria, Frankie Stein, Draculaura, Ghoulia Yelps, Cleo, and Lagoona sit at their table.

GHOULIA: So, why did Clawdeen quit?

CLEO: Well, I don't know... She sorta, kinda freaked on me for no reason.

DRACULAURA: Really? That sure doesn't sound that Clawdeen.

CLEO: Well, I hate to break it to you, Draculaura... But apparently you don't know enough about your friend.

Spectra Vondergeist walks over to the ghouls' table.

SPECTRA: Hey, ghouls!

EVERYONE: Hey, Spectra.

CLEO: Oh, Spectra! Loved your article exposing Scarah... That should teach her a lesson for playing twister with other people's boyfriends.

SPECTRA: Why, thank you! Lagoona, can I speak to you in private?

LAGOONA: Um... Sure.

GHOULIA: Why does that sound like the biggest load of dragon eye stir fry that I have ever heard in this school?

Frankie snickers at the previous statement.

Spectra and Lagoona go to an empty classroom...

LAGOONA: So, what's the problem?

SPECTRA: Oh, sweet, sweet Lagoona... It appears "we" have a problem.

LAGOONA: A problem?

SPECTRA: I found these pictures in my locker... Pictures that you seem to be familiar with, sent by Invisi Billy's killer... I don't know where these came from, but they have assigned me a job involving them and you, my dear friend.

Spectra shows Lagoona pictures of her kissing Gil.

LAGOONA: Oh dear... What is the killer asking you to do with them?

SPECTRA: I'm afraid they're asking me to expose you to the whole school.

LAGOONA: We can't let that happen!

SPECTRA: Why?

LAGOONA: Mine and Gil's parents will find out about it and forbid us for seeing each other ever again... Maybe even move back to Australia.

SPECTRA: Well, luckily for you, the killer has provided me with an alternative...

LAGOONA: What kind of alternative?

SPECTRA: Get me an intimate picture between Draculaura and Clawd.

LAGOONA: Um... what?

SPECTRA: Don't play dumb. You really don't see the way they look at each other?

LAGOONA: I mean... I know Draculaura has always had a thing for Clawd, but wow, this is news to me!

SPECTRA: Just snap a picture of them together... and this image of you and Gil will disappear.

LAGOONA: Wait! I can't do this to a friend.

SPECTRA: Well, you have no choice... You have until the end of the football game, tonight...

Lagoona looks worried by Spectra's request from Invisi Billy's Killer.

SPECTRA: (singsong) Better hurry...

### Scene 6

After school, Clawdeen goes home...

CLAWDEEN: Mom?

HARRIET: In here!

CLAWDEEN: Can we talk now, please?

Clawdeen walks into the living room to see her mom.

HARRIET: Sure, honey! What's up?

CLAWDEEN: Well, uh, I don't know how to say this but... Howleen overheard you and Dad arguing over money... Is this true?

Harriet looks up at Clawdeen.

HARRIET: (sigh) I'm sorry, Clawdeen... It's true.

CLAWDEEN: Why didn't you tell us?

HARRIET: I didn't want you, Clawd and Howleen to worry about that stuff... The Bed & Breakfast isn't making as much money... and your dad is overworked from this Invisi Billy case.

CLAWDEEN (V.O.): ***Maybe Howleen is telling the truth... maybe she really did steal Cleo's amulet from her house and not her locker.***

HARRIET: I'm sorry that Howleen had to be the one to find out.

CLAWDEEN: Don't worry, Mom! We can fix this.

HARRIET: How?

CLAWDEEN: I don't know yet...

HARRIET: Well... Hey! Aren't you supposed to be fearleading tonight at the football game?

CLAWDEEN: I quit.

HARRIET: Why?

CLAWDEEN: Cleo!

HARRIET: Oh!... That bitch. Are you still coming to see Clawd play?

CLAWDEEN: Yeah.

Back at school, Draculaura and Clawd talk under the bleachers.

DRACULAURA: What is Deuce's problem?

CLAWD: He thinks I'm still into Cleo.

DRACULAURA: And are you?

CLAWD: No, definitely not. But I couldn't risk saying I was looking at you, because our relationship is secret.

DRACULAURA: This is hard.

CLAWD: I know... But maybe we can tell Clawdeen soon, right?

DRACULAURA: Yeah... soon. I promise.

They both kiss.

CLAWD: I gotta go, bye.

Lagoona stands holding her iCoffin, as it's revealed she took a picture of their kiss.

LAGOONA: What have I gotten myself into?

### Scene 7

At the night of the football game, Dracula walks over to Bloodgood.

BLOODGOOD: What are you doing here?

DRACULA: My daughter's performing tonight...and I need to speak to Cleo de Nile.

BLOODGOOD: To arrest her again?

DRACULA: For information, actually.

BLOODGOOD: Oh, I'll help you find her after my announcement.

Bloodgood walks over to the stage.

BLOODGOOD: Good evening, Monster High!

The crowd cheers.

BLOODGOOD: Now, I know we've had a terrible start to the year with one of our students' lives being cut short... But tonight, we are going to show Crescent Moon High who's boss!

The crowd cheers.

BLOODGOOD: Now, here's a performance by Catty Noir, featuring Monster High's Fear Squad.

Catty performs "Love Is Like a Storm Tonight" featuring the Fear Squad.

Following the performance, the boys begin playing football when Dracula and Bloodgood approach Cleo.

CLEO: What do you want?

DRACULA: We found this picture on your iCoffin.

Dracula shows Cleo the image.

DRACULA: Care to explain who the girl is in the picture?

CLEO: Oh! That's Scarah Screams... She was having an affair with the deceased.

Meanwhile, Frankie and Lagoona walk under the bleachers.

FRANKIE: What's up?

LAGOONA: I'm a horrible friend!

FRANKIE: What?

LAGOONA: Spectra told me to take a picture of Draculaura with Clawd, and in exchange, she won't show my picture of me and Gil kissing to the whole school.

FRANKIE: Huh? Why would Spectra do this?

LAGOONA: She has no choice because Invisi Billy's killer is blackmailing her.

FRANKIE: Wow, that's fucked up.

LAGOONA: I know! Anyway, I took a picture of Draculaura and Clawd kissing... But now I don't know what to do...

FRANKIE: I'm sure you'll think of something.

Frankie and Lagoona hear a fight and look over at the field to see Clawd and Deuce fighting, as Heath and Gil try to separate them. Heath takes them to the locker room.

HEATH: What the Hell is wrong with you both?

BOTH: HE STARTED IT!

HEATH: Sheesh! And I thought I was immature... What started this?

DEUCE: He was checking out Cleo.

CLAWD: Get over yourself! I'm not interested in Cleo... Not anymore at least... Besides, she's your girlfriend!

DEUCE: Then why were you watching her?

CLAWD: I wasn't watching her... I, uh...I was trying to see if I could find Clawdeen.

DEUCE: Fine! Don't tell me.

Deuce storms out.

Heath: Should we do something?

Clawd: I don't want to talk about him.

Clawd heads back out on the field.

### Final Scene

At the end of the game, Spectra approaches Lagoona.

SPECTRA: That was..uh, an interesting game.

LAGOONA: Yeah! About that picture... (sigh) I can't do that to my friend. So just expose me and Gil...

SPECTRA: Well, you're a lot braver than I, Lagoona. But I have a problem, the killer knew you would chicken out.

LAGOONA: Huh?

SPECTRA: He sent me a picture of Draculaura and Clawd kissing... He wants me to expose all of you, especially because you failed!

LAGOONA: Why?!

Spectra shrugs.

Back at the waterfall, an unseen person retrieves the amulet from the cliff and walks back.
