By he time the fourth can was drained dry (which didn't take long at all), Glen was practically back to normal... or as normal as Glen was capable of becoming.
"Uuurp!" Glen paused, himself even caught by surprise, until he was the hexpectant looks on the faces of the ghouls and offered a meek, "Hexcuse me."
As Marceline turned back to her interview with Iris, Draconia turned to see Glen hlding the now last and empty can of Red Ghoul upside down, giving it a shake. With the hexpected result, Glen sighed and went to drop it into the trash until he caught a 'look' from Venus across the hall. He then dutifully waved his sand and the empty four pack, and the avalanche-worthy number that exploded from his locker, floated over toward the recycle bin.
Glen then accepted his bag from 'his' Drakie and the two pals headed down the hall.
"I'm gonna have to find Rory today, Drakie. My mom said his mom is going to be one of the chaperones for Tombcoming and I..."
"Yo Glen! THE Draconia!"
Glen's boofriend Chase called as he crossed their paths in his own Spirit Day sleep wear - or lackthereof. Glen's head did a 'whiplash' and he walked smack into an open locker door.

Draconia St George "Chase!" Iris called out to him, stepping past the dazed Glen. "I'm doing interviews for the Gory Gazette. Could you answer one question for me? Why do you want to be Tombcoming King?"
"I do?"
Chase blinked, as he stared at Iris for a moment as is captivated, but he then shook his head and smiled.
"Cha! Sorry. I found myself lost in your eye. Ha ha!"
Chase trotted up, past Rory who seemed frozen at the thought of his own impending interview, and Glen who was rubbing his poor nose while his eyes never strayed from Chase's bare upper torso. (Draconia snapped her fingers in Glen's eyes but to no avail.)
Chase then draped an arm around iris's shoulder.
"I mean, I do... I just never really thought about it, y'know? But then I thought about my name being called and was like 'Whoa' and I saw the crown in the trophy case with all the sparkles and was like 'WHOOOOA!" Y'know?"
Iris blinked, a unique sight when one's head was an eyeball.
"Um... I guess so?"
"Right! Then I found out it was my ghurl, Hellene, who nominated me so I knew I had to do my feathery fiendress proud! Win the crown and be the most HEXTREME Tombcoming King in the hisstory of Monster High!"
"Ah! The modest candidate! Have you any goals should you win?"
"You mean besides rockin' that totally clawesome shiny crown?"
"Yes, besides that."
"Well..." Chase bit his bottom lip in contemplation. His face then lit up in a bright smile. "Cha! Totally! I always wanted to introduce a Hextreme Sports Club here at school! That's what I want to do! Annnnnd... get the lurch lady to offer more vegan foods, y'know?"
"Fascinating!" Iris scribbled his answers down in the notepad. "A candidate out for the health of his peers and perhaps soon-to-be 'subjects! Thank you Chase!"
Chase pointed at iris and clucked his tongue. He then turned and trotted away, fist bumping Rory and Draconia, then running his hand over Glen's cheek ... prompting Glen's knees to wobble and Drake catching him before he fell.

"All right, now we're getting somewhere!" Iris scribbled furr-iously on her notepad. "Rory! You're up next. Why do you want to be Tombcoming Scream King?"
"W-well..." Rory stammered, acutely aware of Glen and Marceline watching him. "I WANT to be Tombcoming Scream King because...Well, I'm new at school, you know...but I've wanted to attend here for a really long time! It was sort of my scream come true to finally be allowed to attend here. And being Tombcoming King, I guess that would be, like....the ultimate. The ultimate thing!"
Rory tripped over his words. Speeches weren't his thing; stories were.
"Watching Monster High from the other side of the mirrors, I've seen such incredible things happen here - such adventures! And I've always longed to be a part of it. A part of any of it, you know? I feel like, being voted Tombcoming King would be like the student bodies saying 'Hey, welcome! You're new, but you're one of us now!'"
Rory cleared his throat and pushed unbrushed hair out of his eyes.
"And also I guess I'd like to bring more awareness to the Murk Trial Club in a positive way, with less sleeping potion rumors and more genuine interest in the club."
Iris stopped writing.
"Sleeping potion? Oh, from the Ghostly Gossip. That rumor is SO two days ago."
She scribbled down a few more notes.
"All right! Fang you very much, guys! Marceline, catch back up with me when you have an answer - I'm going to try to catch as many candidates as I can before first period! Tootle boo!"
And Iris pushed her way into the student throngs, searching for a new candidate to interview.

"Kai! Kai Merha!" Iris Clops called out to Kai as he sat with Demona on the steps of the school, chatting about this and that. Kai looked up and gave Iris a smile.
"Hey Iris. What's up?"
"Gory Gazette business." She replied, brandishing her notebook and pencil. "You've been nominated to be Tombcoming Scream King, you know."
"Oh...yeah!" Kai replied brightly. He had sort of forgotten in the flurry of Demona's return and Jewels being sick. Kai turned to Demona. "By the way, I've been nominated for Tombcoming Scream King. Nero nominated me. What a bro!"
"Well, right now I'm grabbing some soundbites to post in the Gory Gazette before Tombcoming. So I'd like to ask you why you want to be Tombcoming King and what you'd do."
"Hmm...." Kai leaned back and thought on it. "Well, it's a heck of an honor just to be nominated in the first place of course. How totally gnarly is that?! I guess I'd want to be Tombcoming Scream King because it'd give me a deeper connection to the school. Be a part of history, you know? One of the things I miss as a, uh, recent monster convert, is that link to monster past. Being Tombcoming King would be sort of a way of helping to build monster history for myself and my future lineage."
Kai put an arm around Demona.
"If I was crowned king, I think I'd want to do something wild, like host a royal party for the school! And I'd decree that Hawaiian pizza always be on the menu!" Kai laughed and winked. Iris nodded as she wrote everything down.
"Thanks, Kai! All right, let's see who else I can find..."

Kai paused. That was right, if there was a Tombcoming Scream KING, it stood to reason there'd be a Tombcoming Scream QUEEN, too. Kai waved back at Iris.
"Hey! Iris! Quick question for you. Who are the Scream Queen candidates?"
"Oh, sure, hang on a sec." Iris flipped through her iCoffin notes and pulled up the listing. "Here you go."
Kai turned the list so Demona could see too.
"Man, it's too bad you got back from Grrmany too late to be nominated, bootiful." He told her as they perused the list.
List of Scream Queen nominees -Draconia St. George -Gryff -Jewels Underne -Vinnie Lovecraft -Meme Pennywise -Vanissha De La Luz -Ascreama Poweurgh -Maceline LaGhede
"Oh, look! Jewels is nominated!" Kai noticed, brightly. "Boy, after being so sick yesterday, it'd be a real boost to her if she was picked to be Queen, don't you think?"

Dashner came casually strolling around the corner, coming to greet his friends before he had to be at class.
"Hey-"
Iris Clops? Asking Rorrim and the others questions? She was asking the candidates questions! Dashner almost completely despised interviews, because he was always afraid he'd say something wrong, but then he pictured Perry's face in his head, saying "You need to campaign!" He stepped up closer.
"Iris."
"Hey Dashner! I hear you've been nominated as scream king."
"Why yes, yes I have," he replied, giving a failed hair flip due to his short fauxhawk.
"That's great. I just want to ask you a simple question- Why do you want to be scream king?" Iris got ready to begin writing.
"Well, I have a simple answer and explanation, really. I love Monster High with all of my heart, and I want to see a school that I love so much succeed in everything that it does. Monster High is here for a great purpose, you know."
"Awww!" He heard a few ghouls saying as they passed by.
"Thanks for your time. Would you mind pointing out another candidate I can shortly interview?"
Dashner pondered the question for a minute, before seeing his roommate out of the corner of his eye. "My roommate, Ronan Aalto." Dashner pointed to the Selkie.
"Great, thank you."
