## Episode

### Opening Scene

Picking up from where the episode left off, Ghoulia wakes up after being attacked by the snake-like creature.

GHOULIA: (GROAN)

Ghoulia looks surprised as she looks to her left, noticing that her language choker is broken.

GHOULIA: (GROAN)

Suddenly, Ghoulia notices Robecca Steam behind her.

ROBECCA: Ghoulia! What happened?!

GHOULIA: (GROAN)

ROBECCA: Huh?

Robecca notices the broken choker on the ground.

ROBECCA: Oh... Fuck! Here, grab my hand.

Robecca extends her hand and helps Ghoulia get up.

GHOULIA: (GROAN)

ROBECCA: Let's get you in my office, and we're gonna fix this little guy.

Robecca grabs the pieces of the choker as they walk up to Robecca's secret office.

(INTRO)

### Scene 1

Clawdeen, Draculaura, and Lagoona drive out to a house.

LAGOONA: Whose house is this?

DRACULAURA: It's mine! Me and my dad used to use this place as a safe house for when we escaped the humans back in the day... Fun memories!

LAGOONA: What time is it?

CLAWDEEN: 9pm. Which means we've got until midnight until I turn into a wolf.

They get out of the car, carrying luggage.

LAGOONA: Hey! Where's Frankie?

Meanwhile, Frankie is in her bedroom applying makeup, humming to herself.

FRANKIE (V.O.): ***Dear Diary, Tonight is going to be the best night of my life... I finally get to go on my first date since starting high school...***

She gets up and decides between a blue and red dress.

FRANKIE (V.O.): ***And who's the mystery man you may ask?***

Frankie ends up picking the blue dress and makes her way downstairs, answering the door to Jackson, who is standing in the doorway holding flowers.

JACKSON: Are you ready for our date?

FRANKIE: Yes, let's go!

### Scene 2

Robecca takes Ghoulia to a clock.

GHOULIA: (GROAN)

ROBECCA: Don't worry, my office is behind the clock.

She pushes a button, and the clock opens, and they go through to the Catacombs where they get to a chamber.

ROBECCA: This place used to belong to my father.

Ghoulia is shocked and amazed at the steam-punk stationary.

Robecca goes over to her desk and starts working on the choker.

Back at the safe house, Clawdeen is setting up for the full moon.

DRACULAURA: Why hasn't he called me?

CLAWDEEN: Clawd?

DRACULAURA: Yeah! I'm worried.

CLAWDEEN: Don't be! We've done the transformation before... He just happens to be in Boo York.

Lagoona appears.

LAGOONA: I brought snacks!

She walks over and sits next to Draculaura.

DRACULAURA: I know that... It's more about the long distance than the transformation.

CLAWDEEN: I'm sure he'll call you before midnight.

LAGOONA: Yeah... At least you're in an "out" relationship. Meanwhile, I'm stuck keeping a secret from my father.

CLAWDEEN: Speaking of... How did it go with the Ghostly Gossip thing?

LAGOONA: Well, the bitch sent an email to him, but I managed to keep my dad away from the internet by monitoring him and deleting any sketchy emails.

CLAWDEEN: Wow...

LAGOONA: That's not all.

DRACULAURA: Oh?

LAGOONA: You see, I got his emails connected to my phone... So I can delete it whenever a sketchy email comes through.

DRACULAURA: Oh, wow! I've been here worried about long distance when you've been the one suffering.

Draculaura hugs Lagoona.

LAGOONA: It's been hard on me and Gil... In fact, we're keeping our distance, and I worry he's going to want to break up now...

DRACULAURA: Lagoona, Gil is one of the good guys, and we won't let Ghostly Gossip break you guys up... I've been shipping you both since day one.

LAGOONA: You have?

Draculaura nods her head.

CLAWDEEN: Speaking of Ghostly Gossip, I have some intel on the truth...

Draculaura and Lagoona look at each other and back to Clawdeen.

LAGOONA: What is it?

CLAWDEEN: It's going to knock your socks off!

### Scene 3

Cleo is in the school walking along the hallway.

CLEO: Hello! Is anyone here?

The hallway is perfectly lit and almost entirely white as Cleo walks along the hallway. She walks until she notices that one part of the hallway looks entirely dark.

CLEO: Hello!?

A screeching noise is heard.

CLEO: Who-who's there?

The noise continues to get louder as Invisi Billy's Killer in a hood approaches, screeching while dragging the knife across the walls, making sparks, and an indent, in the wall.

Cleo begins to run.

CLEO: Help! Someone HELP!!!!

The killer runs after Cleo, and every light turns off as the killer gets closer.

Cleo turns around to see that the killer has disappeared.

She backs away, panicking and shaken up.

The killer then appears behind her and stabs her in the stomach, as she wakes up.

CLEO: Oh my Ra! Oh... Thank God! It was just a nightmare.

She looks at her phone and it's 10pm.

She begins to text Deuce:

"Hey babe! Can you please come over?"

She gets out of bed.

Meanwhile, Frankie sits at the table as Jackson pushes her into her seat.

JACKSON: So...

FRANKIE: So...

Jackson looks at the restaurant's menu.

FRANKIE: So... Do you like the food here?

JACKSON: I've never been here before.

Jackson begins to make an uncomfortable face as it turns a slight shade of red.

FRANKIE: Oh... So what food-

Jackson begins to cough into a napkin.

FRANKIE: Are you okay? ....Y'know, I've been kinda nervous about this date, and it's okay if you are too.

JACKSON: Yeah... I'm - I'm nervous. Do you mind if I go to the bathroom?

FRANKIE: Sure!

Jackson leaves.

FRANKIE (V.O.): ***I'm sure he's nervous...***

She looks at his napkin and discovers blood on it.

FRANKIE (V.O.): ***But of course... I could be wrong.***

### Scene 4

Back at the safe house...

LAGOONA: So, let me get this straight... Howleen stole Cleo's amulet, killed Invisi Billy, got caught, but the adults in our lives used Scarah's "suicide"... still debatable by the way-

DRACULAURA: How do we know that Howleen didn't kill Scarah?

CLAWDEEN: We don't, and I've always had my suspicions over Howleen killing Invisi Billy, but she had no real reason to do it.

LAGOONA: Well, it looks like Howleen got the easy end of the deal; new school, new life, new start... How are you feeling about this?

CLAWDEEN: (sigh) Okay, I guess... I just don't know how to tell Cleo that my sister has been the one haunting her nightmares.

DRACULAURA: Oh-my-Ghoul!

CLAWDEEN: What?

DRACULAURA: Clawd texted me... He's ready to facetime! I knew he'll come through.

Clawdeen and Lagoona exchange an unamused look at each other and back to Draculaura.

DRACULAURA: What!? I need this!

LAGOONA: How long now until your transformation?

CLAWDEEN: An hour and a half.

DRACULAURA: Hey, babe!

CLAWD: Hey, hun!

DRACULAURA: Good luck, for the full moon tonight...

CLAWD: Thanks, but don't worry, I'm safe... Me and my dad are camping elsewhere, so we can turn without chains and just roam around freely... The way nature intended.

DRACULAURA: Oh... Are you sure it's safe... Y'know other campers and hikers?

CLAWD: No one's around here... Trust me!... When I get home, I want to talk about us.

DRACULAURA: About us?

CLAWD: Yeah! Hope that's okay... but I got to go now.

DRACULAURA: Wait-

Clawd hangs up.

DRACULAURA: O-M-G!

CLAWDEEN: What?

DRACULAURA: He said we "need to talk about us."

CLAWDEEN: And?

DRACULAURA: And that's a sign he wants to break up!

LAGOONA: I'm sure Clawd doesn't want to break up with you-

DRACULAURA: What do you know?... You've even said your own boyfriend is going to break up with you.

Clawdeen begins to get angry.... and turns to her friends, revealing yellow eyes as she is starting her transformation early.

CLAWDEEN: AAAA! Ghouls! It's starting.

LAGOONA: What? I thought it didn't start until half an hour later?

CLAWDEEN: Sometimes! But if the moon is strong enough... The transformation can take effect early!!!!! OH MY GOD! STOP MAKING ME SPEAK!! IT HURTS SOOO MUCH!!!!

Clawdeen begins to dart towards her friends, but the chains pull her back as Draculaura grabs Lagoona and super speeds their way out of there as Clawdeen screams in pain and howls.

### Scene 5

Frankie is now bored from waiting for Jackson when Holt Hyde appears.

FRANKIE: What too- Did you dye your hair?

HOLT: Umm... Who are you?

FRANKIE: Is this a joke? I'm Frankie! You don't know me?

Holt looks her up and down.

HOLT: I'm sure I would remember you!

FRANKIE: And you are?

HOLT: Holt! Holt Hyde.

FRANKIE: Well, Holt! You look just like my date.

HOLT: I don't know if that's an insult of a compliment.

FRANKIE: Insult?

HOLT: Yeah. Because you're not on a date with me.

FRANKIE: Umm...

HOLT: Would you like to leave?

FRANKIE: Hmmm... Hold on one sec.

Frankie walks over to the men's bathroom and goes inside.

FRANKIE: (whispers) Jackson! You here?

Frankie doesn't hear a reply and assumes he ditched her.

FRANKIE (V.O.): ***I thought Jackson was one of the good guys...***

She walks back out to Holt.

FRANKIE: Let's go!

She grabs her purse and leaves with Holt.

HOLT: Hell yes!

Meanwhile, Robecca continues to work on Ghoulia's choker.

ROBECCA: Shit!

GHOULIA: (GROAN?)

ROBECCA: It doesn't appear to be working... It's like it completely destroyed! I'll have to bring in some reinforcements.

Robecca begins to text on her iCoffin.

### Scene 6

As Lagoona and Draculaura wait outside, Clawdeen continues her painful transformation.

CLAWDEEN: (screams)

Clawdeen then closes her eyes and goes into a flashback from her POV from her bedroom watching her parents argue from her door.

HARRIET: Clawrk, we're not discussing this!

CLAWRK: Well, she's my daughter too!

HARRIET: If you're against her heritage, then I'm leaving!

CLAWRK: Wait...Honey, please!

Clawdeen is shown in her closet, whimpering and covering her head with her hands as her parents argue, with 8-year-old Clawd sticking his head out of his bedroom doorway, worried.

Back in the present day...

CLAWDEEN: WHAT THE- OHH GOD!

Back outside...

DRACULAURA: Lagoona, I'm sorry that I said that thing about you and Gil... I was stupid and insecure about my own relationship.

Lagoona sits next to Draculaura.

LAGOONA: It's okay... I'm fine! And whatever happens between you and Clawd... I'm always here for you!

They hear a thud coming from inside the safe house...

DRACULAURA: Clawdeen! Are you okay?

Lagoona walks over to the door and slowly opens it where she and Draculaura look around... noticing that the chains have broken off.

LAGOONA: That can't be good.

CLAWDEEN: (growls)

They look over to see Clawdeen, now a werewolf... looking at them like a tasty snack.

DRACULAURA: Clawdeen, we're your friends!

LAGOONA: Yeah! Don't eat us!

CLAWDEEN: (growls)

Clawdeen lunges towards her friends.

LAGOONA: (screams)

Draculaura grabs Lagoona again and speeds her away to an outhouse.

DRACULAURA: Hopefully we'll be safe in here.

LAGOONA: HOPEFULLY?!

At Cleo's house, she is lighting candles when Nefera appears.

NEFERA: What in Set's name are you doing?

CLEO: Oh- Uh... Nothing!

NEFERA: You've invited a boy to come over... Well, I hope it isn't that coward, Deuce!

CLEO: What do you have against me and Deuce?

NEFERA: How much time do you have before that creep shows up?

CLEO: (sighs) Y'know Nefera, I don't get why you're so mean to me.

NEFERA: Maybe it's because I can get away with it... And I'm telling Dad about this!

CLEO: If you do that... I promise unholy vengeance.

NEFERA: Oh, please... You're all bark and no bite.

CLEO: I swear I will get you fired from Monster High.

NEFERA: You know it's moments like this... I don't know whether to respect you... or hate you.

Nefera walks away.

CLEO: Mark my words, Nefera... You're going to rue the day you crossed me....

### Scene 7

At Robecca's office, someone knocks on the door. Robecca opens it, revealing Rochelle Goyle holding a box of pizza and a screwdriver.

ROCHELLE: Here are your reinforcements!

ROBECCA: Thanks, ghoul! You can put these in the desk.

Rochelle notices Ghoulia and extends her hand.

ROCHELLE: Hi! Oh, I remember you! You are the Gory Gazette editor! Hi, I'm Rochelle.

GHOULIA: (GROAN)

ROCHELLE: Would you like a slice of pizza?

GHOULIA: (GROAN)

ROCHELLE: Oh, no worries, I can get it for you.

Rochelle grabs a slice of pizza and gives it to Ghoulia.

ROBECCA: Wait, you can speak zombie?

ROCHELLE: Yep! I'm trilingual! I can speak French, English and zombie!

GHOULIA: (GROAN)

ROCHELLE: Thanks! Oh, by the way, Robecca, here's the screwdriver.

ROBECCA: Ok, thank you, hopefully this will fix the choker. Oh, by the way, ask her what happened to her on the hallway.

ROCHELLE: What happened?

GHOULIA: (GROAN)

ROCHELLE: What do you mean, a snake-like creature?

GHOULIA: (GROAN)

ROCHELLE: Oh dear god! That must've been frightening... And not in the good way.

ROBECCA: NO! NO! NOOOO! WORK YOU LITTLE SHIT!

ROCHELLE: Robecca, are you alright?

ROBECCA: Sorry, I'm just trying to fix this damn thing, but the damn voice recorder is jammed and I can't replace it. I think there's... Nothing I can do.

GHOULIA: (GROAN!)

ROCHELLE: She said there has to be something we can do about it.

ROBECCA: I am so so so sorry but... I don't think I can do it.

ROCHELLE: Well, fuck.

Meanwhile, Holt and Frankie are at a park.

FRANKIE (V.O.): ***So Holt had brought me to the park... He was kind of a wild card, so I really didn't know what to expect and how to react.***

HOLT: Do you like the park?

FRANKIE: Yeah, it's peaceful and quiet.

HOLT: I find it completely boring!

FRANKIE: Oh!

HOLT: But... It is the perfect place to seduce some ghouls.

FRANKIE: Oh, you're quite the player, aren't you?

HOLT: What can I say? I'm a real charmer. Ladies fall on their head as soon as they see me walk by. I'm dangerously sexy.

FRANKIE: (giggles)

HOLT: Hey, wanna check out something cool?

Holt spells out Frankie's name with his fingers using his fire powers.

FRANKIE: Woah!

HOLT: I know, pretty cool right?

FRANKIE: Yeah!

HOLT: Ok, now let's go somewhere else, somewhere with more movement.

FRANKIE (V.O.): ***Me and Holt hung out one or two more hours, and when it ended it felt like a few minutes had gone by. Sadly, we didn't exchange numbers, but he told me we'd see each other around, so... While I was bummed out Jackson left me on my date, Holt was the perfect rebound.***

### Scene 8

Rochelle, Robecca, and Ghoulia leave Robecca's office and walk down the hallways of Monster High.

ROBECCA: Again, I'm so sorry, Ghoulia... If only I could fix the damn voice recorder-

GHOULIA: (GROAN)

ROCHELLE: She says it's ok, you tried your best.

ROBECCA: Thanks...

Suddenly, Ms. Kindergrubber shows up behind them.

KINDERGRUBBER: What in God's name are you three still doing here?

Before the girls get the chance to explain, Ms. Kindergrubber grabs her broom and shoos the girls away.

KINDERGRUBBER: GO! HOME! NOOOWWWWWWW!!!!

The girls run away, scared for their lives.

KINDERGRUBBER: (sighs) That was a close call.

Kindergrubber checks to see if anyone is in the hallways, then goes back to the classroom she was in and locks the door.

Meanwhile, at the De Nile mansion...

After trying to call Deuce a bunch of times, Cleo aggressively puts out the candles and leaves a voicemail to Deuce.

CLEO: Hey, Deuce! I have been waiting for you to come here for Ra knows how long! And you... You don't even bother to show up! What the fuck was all that talk about "Oh Cleo, you show me no attention waa waa, you're always ignoring me waa waa, are we even dating anymore waa waa" bullshit was just that! Bullshit! Complete and utter bullshit! We are over! Goodbye, see you, NEVER!

The voicemail ends as Cleo lays down in the bed, crying, when suddenly she hears noises.

CLEO: ...N-Nefera? Is that you?

She gets no response, but the noises keep getting louder and louder, as Cleo starts to hear footsteps, too.

CLEO: Oh... My... Ra...

Cleo looks through the drawers on her bedside table and grabs a knife. She turns around to face the snake-like creature standing right behind her.

CLEO: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! HELP, HELP ME, HEEEELPPPP!

The snake-like creature catches Cleo and throws her off the balcony as she becomes unconscious. The snake-like creature hears other footsteps and escapes as Nefera walks into the bedroom.

NEFERA: What is all this noi-

Nefera looks down at the balcony only to see Cleo's unconscious body.

NEFERA: (screams)

The snake-like creature then tries to attack Nefera, but she grabs the knife on the bed and starts attacking the snake-like creature in a frenzy, scaring it off, slipping down to the ground below.

NEFREA: Ew, there's blood everywhere... I just hope Dad doesn't see this...

### Final Scene

The day after...

Clawdeen, Frankie, Draculaura, and Lagoona are at the gymnasium, talking about Frankie's date with Jackson and Holt.

CLAWDEEN: Wait, he really wrote your name in the park with his powers? Wow!

LAGOONA: Isn't that lowkey vandalism, though?

FRANKIE: Well, what matters is... We really had a fun time and I would like to see him again.

DRACULAURA: I ship it!

LAGOONA: Really, Draculaura?

DRACULAURA: What? I'd rather date a troublemaker with a heart than a goody two shoes who left you on a date!

LAGOONA: True... But I'd be careful. Bad boys can be dangerous.

FRANKIE (V.O.): ***I was trying to act all chill, but I was head over heels for Holt. I really had a good time with him... Is this what true love feels like?***

Suddenly, Clawdeen gets a ball thrown at her by Heath Burns.

CLAWDEEN: OUCH! Really, Heath?!

HEATH: Oops, sorry, didn't want to hurt that delicate pretty face of yours.

CLAWDEEN: Who the fuck are you calling delicate! I'll have you know that I am stronger, and faster, and have more balls than you will ever have in your life, Heath!

HEATH: Woah, I was trying to make a compliment!

Heath notices Frankie giggling and starts blushing for a little bit until suddenly, he calls out Clawdeen's name.

HEATH: Hey, Clawdeen!

CLAWDEEN: What?!

HEATH: Prove it.

CLAWDEEN: Prove what?

HEATH: You said you could be faster than me, I wanna see you prove it.

CLAWDEEN: Deal. Loser gives the winner their lunch money.

HEATH: Easy win.

CLAWDEEN: Oh, you have no idea what you're in for.

Heath and Clawdeen walk up to the start of the track.

LAGOONA: Ready... Steady... GO!!!

They both start running as Clawdeen picks up a lot of speed, finishing the race while Heath hasn't even reached the middle of the track.

HEATH: (breathlessly) What... the... hell?

DRACULAURA: Oh, I guess we forgot to tell you, Clawdeen still has lunar energy circling through her because of the full moon last night.

Heath reluctantly hands Clawdeen his lunch money and walks away.

FRANKIE (V.O.): ***I kinda felt bad for what happened with Heath, but right now, I was more focused on the moment. Little moments like these really brought us all closer, and they're rare given all the murder mysteries and the daily school drama... I'm just glad we could finally breathe.***

The girls all laugh as Clawdeen howls.

(END)
