Marceline glanced over her shoulder at Char-lene, who was idly wiping down the counter near the register while hexting on her iCoffin with her other hand.
"Char, y'can clock out early." She nodded. "I can take it from here."
Char-lene blew out like a candle, hurling the bar mop towel into the sink as she left. Marceline sat down at the table with Jewels and Tori, and let out a sigh.
"I was confused when Nero joined, even more so with Kai. But when Dashner joined I knew something was up." She writhed again, not really wanting to go deeper into it, but felt she had to press on. "I mean, yes we had a fight and he sure was fried up over it... but I didn't think it was enough to make him wanna leave school! He loved Monster High..."
She sunk deeper into her chair, and this time she couldn't hold back the tears. "An' now Rorrim's gone after him, to check up on him...*sniff* and I haven't heard back from him in hours. Something just don't seem right, ghouls..."

"Yeah it was no big deal!" Manny Taur boasted at the counter of the ol' Coffin Bean, seated beside Chase and (not so) casually discussing his recent appearance on "Die Trying". That tight rope stint through the flaming hoops was child's play! Any idiot could have done it!"
"You three did it." Chase grumbled as he stared at his milkshake with woeful eyes, listening to Manny go on about being on the one show Chase would have given his right hoof, both of them in fact, to be on!
"Exactly!" Manny nodded, then paused and blinked. He shook his head and continued. "So we didn't finish the last stunt. Clawd, Heath and I still made it farther than anyone else ever did!"
"But you would have finished if it hadn't been for Howleen's wish..."
"But we would have finished if it hadn't been for Howleen wishing away all her wishes!" Manny snorted through his nose and then turned to Chase, the bluddy he never thought he'd have in a centaur. "And where were you, anyway? You weren't there cheering us on!"
Chase sighed. "Oh I was down on theSKRM tracks in the catacombs with Ryder. He wanted to bungee jump off the Tentacle Bridge to see what those things are really attached to."
"Whoa!" Manny breathed heavily. "And what are they attached to?"
"Search me." Chase shrugged. "He hasn't come out yet to tell me."
Manny blinked.
"Uh, Chase?"
"Yah?"
"How's he supposed to get back up?"
Chase turned to look at Manny. A brief pause, then Chase turned away and tapped his chin with his fingers.
"Whoa. I totally think we needed to plan that one better!"

Draconia fluttered into the Coffin Bean five minutes past the agreed meeting time for the big double date - fashionably late, but not enough so that everyone else was inconvenienced. She scanned the sparse clusters of chatting groups until her eyes landed on Manny Taur and Chase Q chatting in their gang's favourite corner boo-th. In spite of her dark mood, Draconia smiled at herself.
Last year, those two being in the same room together was a recipe for disaster! It was uhh-mazing to see the change now that the two were starting to see beyond the old deep-seated prejudices between minotaurs and centaurs. They had evolved from after-school fights between each other to forming a backyard monster wrestling tag team called Los Extremos.
Draconia found that just too-too adorable.
"Draconia! Most frighteous of dragon dudettes!" Chase was the first to spy her and give her a wave. Manny followed suit, though for some reason his wave looked intensely sore. Draconia waved back and had a seat next to Manny.
"'Ello, boos! Oh, it's so good to see you! This whole week has been such a madhouse I feel like I've barely had the chance to talk to anymonster. Manny! What HAVE you been up to?!" Draconia turned to her 'more-than-a-friend-but-not-quite-boofriend' just in time to see him hide a pained expression.
"Oh, uh, you know. The uuuu-sual." Manny mooed. "Chillin' and relaxin' after our stunts on 'Or Die Trying.' No big."
Draconia raised an eyebrow.
"Really? No big?"
"Yup, feeling goooood." Manny tried to strike a pose to show off, and grabbed his back in pain. "OW! Okay...maybe I'm a little sore..."
"Oh, you poor thing!" Draconia patted him on the shoulder as he winced. "You two just sit right here and I"ll get us all drinks. Er...where is Glen? Is he complaining to the furrista again about it not tasting the same as Scarbucks?"
Chase shrugged. "Haven't seen my little dude all day yet, and he's not answering his hexts. I keep telling him he's gotta pay more attention to the iCoffin."
Draconia's ruby heart fluttered. "Oh no. You don't...you don't think he's joined the circus, do you?!"
"Hey, yeah, what is up with that?" Manny asked as he tried to straighten out his back. "Aren't giant evil genies enough? Isn't there some kind of rule that there can only be one giant cataclysm threatening the school per scaremester?"

And of course the topic of the giant evil genie Wisp brought up the topic of Catty Noir's concert which was just held on the grounds of Monster High. This then led back too tales of Manny leading Clawd and Heath through the trials and tribulations of their appearance on "Die Trying".
Draconia listened attentively as she was always prone to do. (She got lots of practice as Glen's beastie, after all) Yet before Chase could try to change the topic of conversation so as to keep his bright mood elevated, they all jumped when something slammed heavily into the large window beside the booth they were all sharing!
Their three heads spun around to spot Glen smacked flat against the window, and slowly sliiiiiding down and flopping onto the pavement outside. Chase turned to Manny and Draconia with a bright smile.
"Ha! Found him!"
Glen then hopped up as if nothing had happened, and with his skateboard tucked under his arm, he hurried through the front door of the ol' Bean, where he loudly proclaimed, "I'm alright for everyone who's concerned!" And rubbing his nose, hurried over toward their booth.
"Boo! Now I know how a bird must feel!"
Chase, of course, laughed and Manny just shook his head. Draconia, all too used to Glen's antics, yet somehow he would always manage to surprise her somehow, could only smile and be thankful witches were apparently made of sturdy stuff.
"Where've youuu been?" Manny asked. "Chase here says you haven't been answering your hexts!"
"Sorry!" Glen looked at Chase, apologizing sincerly. He added another 'sorry' for Manny and 'his' Drakie each, then stood up from where he was seated beside his boofriend and waved to everyone.
"Sorry!"
he then sat back down and looked quite anxiously at the three sharing the booth with him.
"I didn't mean to be late, but you'll never guess what happened! My Aunty Mary showed up right out of the boo!"
"Rory's mom?" Draconia asked. "I thought you told us she never associates with your side of the family."
"She doesn't!" Glen exclaimed. "But there she was, stepping out of my mom's mirror! That's why I had to stay and listen in, er, visit! I mean visit! I thought mom was going to go through the roof but Aunty Mary looked so bad that mom sat her down and that's when she told us, I mean, her!"
"Told her what?" Chase asked.
Glen looked between Chase, Manny and Draconia and said aloud, "She was looking for Rory! He never came home last night! Drakie..." He looked at his beastie. "Rory ran away!"

"Nope!" Glen turned to Marceline with verve. Draconia could tell that, serious subject matter aside, Glen WAS enjoying being the centre of attention. "Auntie Mary was beside herself, because even the curse wasn't bringing him home."
Glen turned to Chase, put a hand aside his mouth and explained. "My cousin totally has a curse on him that makes him POP to your side if you say his name into a mirror 13 times."
Draconia fretted, unable to figure out what to do with her hands. She wanted to bite them, or twist her hair, or SOMEthing, but instead she just kept tapping them on the table with fangxiety.
"He didn't run away and join the circus, did he?" It was first and foremost on her mind, after last night, but Glen shook his head vehemently.
"Not possible! Where in a circus can you escape a summoning curse? Nowhere, that's where!" Glen picked up a coffee stirrer and pointed at nowhere in particular to drive the point home. "Mom and Auntie Mary think he might be, get this, fanging out at the same school CUPID goes to now!"
"Whaaaaa?!" Manny exclaimed, if for no other reason than to remind everyone that he was still a part of this conversation.
"Right?!" Glen replied. "But Auntie Mary seemed convinced it was a possibility. So my mom and her are going there to talk to auntie Baba and see what she has to say."
"How utterly random." Draconia replied, bewildered by the strange turn of events. "I just thought....well, I rather thought everything was tied to the circus right now."
