Thursday Moaning.
This was it! Today was the big day! It was the last Graveball game of the season, and every boo on the team was wearing their jersey as they exited the field following an early scrimmage. Team Captain Clawd Wolf and Coach Igor had drilled strategy so hard into their heads that they were spinning - in some cases literally!
The Gory Gazette, the school newspaper, had its reporters already on the beat, taking photographs and scribbling notes about their profiles of the Graveball players. As was tradition, the Fear Squad were all wearing their uniforms to class today, too.
Amongst the rest of the student bodies, there was palpable tension and hexcitement in the air. It was no secret that Luna High Graveball players had been 'scouting' Monster High practices all week - and causing a bit of a ruckus with boos and heckling. Last year, Luna High had walked away with the Monster Division title....would it be a repeat this year?
Meanwhile, for the third time this week, Headless Headmistress Bloodgood was preparing for the arrival of yet another new student. As was tradition, she had requested that one of the Monster High New Studet Mentor Committee be present to greet the student on the steps in front of the school. She had decided to ask the gentle-spoken Layla LaMia to greet this new student. Layla's calm demeanor and polite attitude were certain to help keep Bobby "Telly" Tube at ease on his first day....

JD paced in front of Draconia's locker, his iCoffin gripped in his claw. His thumb tapped out a lengthy message before pausing, deleting everything and starting over. He groaned, scratching the back of his head and shifting his eyes through the crowd of student bodies filing away to their lockers...
His date with Draconia the previous night... well, it never happened. JD found himself overwhelmed with nerves and stood her up. But, of course, he couldn't tell her that. And he'd spent the entire morning trying to come up with an hexcuse for it. He didn't have his car anymore, so he couldn't blame it on that... and saying he had to do homework wasn't believable either. What if... ALIENS had abducted him for an emergency rave party?!? Perfect. JD tapped it out on his iCoffin, and just as he was about to hit send, his eyes locked on the icy stare of an invisible ghoul.
Vanissha de la Luz, clad in her fearleading uniform, walked down the hallway with the rest of the B-Squad surrounding her. She looked completely unfazed by the past week's turn of events, or perhaps that was what she was trying to convey to JD. But she was staring at him, likely making sure he knew she was thrilled to be without him; and with one quick flick of her gaze forward, she wrapped her arms around a werewolf boo in a graveball jersey. JD felt a sting in his chest and he continued typing on is iCoffin. He had to make things fright with Draconia.

(Sincere apologies for not making it on the date this was posted, I was occupied with something before, won't happen again!)
The school was quite a feat to the certain out of touch gentlebot, who wandered down the halls with a perplexed view of all the organic lifeforms around, though it was impolite to stare. He couldn't really help himself! Though the high percentage of distraction that overfilled his circuitry in his ancient wiring caused him to lose sensory of his surroundings and bump into someone.
"O-O-Oh dear!" He spoke in a polite, but surprisingly human voice that emitted from the speaker of his television head. Looking upon the "person" in question, was an odd being with the lower half of an animal! How peculiar! His television screen would show a pixlated smile and two dotted eyes when facing towards JD.
"Why hel-hel-hello there! I am Bo-Bobby, and I am-am-am terribly sorry for bum-bumping into you. Qui-i-i-ite the scatter brain-aina-nainainain I am!" His pixelated face would show him "laughing". not at his new peer, of course not! But how clumsy he became in such a short amount of time, a new record in his books!

Draconia stalked into class feeling more than a bit down. She'd waited, literally al fright for some word from JD Leeds regarding the date they'd set up....only for no word whatsoever. She'd texted Nero to see if he knew where JD was; no luck. Glen wasn't responding to his iCoffin, probably due to being down in the Catacombs for Mad Science most of the evening.
In fact, none of the monsters she'd texted knew where JD had been. It was to the point where Draconia was concerned....had something happened to him?
Of course, all of her concern and fangxiety vanished when she walked into the school and saw him loitering right next to her locker, coolly tapping on his iCoffin. She looked at him, standing there in his leopard print pants, and his leopard print shoes, and his leopard print...blimey, even his iCoffin was covered in leopard print!
Draconia walked up to JD and cleared her throat.
"A-hem." JD didn't even look up, instead tapping even more frantically on his phone.
"A-hem!" Draconia tried again, but whatever he was texting, apparently it was completely absorbing his attention.
"A-HEM!" Draconia nearly rattled her own locker clearing her throat. JD finally gave a jump and looked up.
"Hey, coughie, you should see a witch doctor about tha-DRACONIA!" He nearly choked on the word, but then cleared his own throat and regained his composure. "H-How ya doin?!"
"How am I doing?" Draconia repeated, incredulously. "How are YOU doing? What happened last night?"
"Oh yeah, that. You see about that...well, you see about that...well, you didn't see me!" JD replied, with a resolute knowing nod.
"Clearly." Draconia replied, a bit dryly. "Why did you stand me up?"
"Woah, hey, let's not go throwing around hack-usations!" JD threw his hands up in a sign of surrender. "There was extenuating circumstancery goin' on, that's all. You know how it gets sometimes, I mean, if I had a dime for every time I was stood up....well, I'd have zero dimes. How you doin'?"
Draconia frowned at the joke. JD shifted uncomfortably from one hoof to the other. This was clearly not going well, and Draconia didn't respond to JD's East coast charm the same way Vanissha had.
"What I mean to say is, sometimes things happen and you have plans, and they don't quite pan out, you know what I'm sayin'? But I'm on my note today, honest, an' if we can re-schedule, say to a time more future-like, than I'll show you a night like you ain't never seen before." JD shot up a brilliant smile and batted his eyes at Draconia. She raised one eyebrow and fidgeted a bit under his gaze.
"I...I'm not sure..."
"Look, please, give me a second chance. I'll prove to you, ba da bing, ba da boom - I'm the unrealest guy in the room." JD batted his eyes even harder. "Ask any manster in the school - I'm not like that normally, okay? I am a certified G and I'd never leave a pretty ghoul in the lurch like that. ...More than once."
Draconia took a couple seconds to consider JD's proposal.
"I'll...think about it..." She finally acquiesed. JD grinned broadly.
"Tell ya what. I'll find you at the Graveball game tonight, and we can make plans then. You'll see! It'll be the best date you ever had! It'll be so great you'll swear off dating forever on account'a not wanting to sully the memory of this epic date! In the grand, cosmic scheme of date-dom, this one's going to be in the top ten, easy. Top FIVE if I really put my mind to it. How you doin'!?"
"Why do you keep asking how I'm doing?" Draconia asked, but JD was already walking away, backwards, giving her the 'double bang-bang' salute with his index claws and winking as hard as he could. Without answering, he turned the corner backwards and was gone. Draconia turned to her locker, still a little bit stunned by JD's overwhelming personality.
She started unloading her books, when the realization hit her like a bolt of lightning.
"He STILL didn't tell me why he stood me up!"

Whew, that was smooth! JD thought to himself as he backed away from Draconia's locker and turned the corner. After the embarrassment of last night, he had it in the bag for the future, no question about it! He pivoted on his hoof to turn back to class with his chin in the air, when...
**CRASH**
JD slammed headfirst into a cathode ray tube screen and flung to the floor in an overly-dramatic way. He'd hoped Draconia had seen him fall and would come running over to see if he was okay, but a cursory look-around proved that she had moved on to her first class. With a roll of his eyes he hoisted himself up onto his hooves.
"'ey, no sweat manster. I uh, meant to do that, y'know what I mean?" JD brushed off his shoulders and took a good look at the boo he'd crashed into... his eyebrows furrowed in a bit of confusion; he'd seen some odd monsters in his unlife, but a robot with a TV for a head was among the top weirdest. But it seemed the poor guy was having a bit of trouble fitting in, and JD felt a bit of a responsibility to Bobby now. "You must be new around here. I'm JD... say, uh. Don't new student bodies usually get a Student Mentor? Looks like yours stood you up! I hate it when that happens, bro. Listen, why don't you walk to class with me and I'll show you the ropes, know what I mean?"

"Stude-dent Mentor? Oh de-de-dear!" Screeched the television head man as the heightened yell would cause a slight crackle through the small speaker on the front of his head. Clasping his non-existent cheeks upon his head with his gloved hands. The pixels on the screen would form into a large red exclamation mark with a yellow background behind it, both shocked and severely disappointed about his first day in the educative system in the outside world. The gentlebot would recite a hypothesis on what may have happened through the large gap to make his neural memory seem so glitched.
"In-In-In such a rush, I ha-a-ave overloaded my mem-memory banks from such vital in-information!" How embarrassing! But this male organic did seem to know what to do in such a time like this, so rely on him he must!
Clasping his gloved hands together, Bobby's screen would quickly shift to the odd dark blue pixelated "V" shaped smile, with a lighter blue screen background. "That sou-nds-nds delightful! I ho-pe-pe-pe-pe I'm not a bot-her, Mister JD."

Harry Herne had a big day ahead of him. Kai had informed of the aarghument between the goblins and the kobolds and he was determined to get this settled quick. It would take a full on Cosmic Peace Drum Circle to fix it and Harry had some drums. Now, he just needed a drummer. He wondered if Kai drummed things.
But he had other things to attend to this moaning before classes. Harry had decided he would be the official Fae Welcoming Committee for Ari. In his first gesture of goodwill, he had gotten Gibberish to bring him a lava lamp from the Nevernever. Ari could have her own piece of 'home' here at school!
Not knowing where Ari was staying, Harry had gotten her locker number the night before and decided to wait there to give her the gift. He suddenly remembered he need to ask Kai about being on Glen's mysterious List.
"Man, I'm such a space corpsedet."

Ari took a deep breath and entered the school for her second day. She felt much more nervous this time around. Why? Because she promised herself the night before that she wouldn't hide behind her glamour like she had for several decades. The blonde Fae left everything alone except her claws appeared like normie arms. She was dressed in mild green colors as Damyn suggested.
The shapshifting companion was current disguised as her necklace. Ari walked timidly towards her locker. The Fae found it odd that she was receiving less curious looks than yesterday... "Maybe they were right..." She wondered with a small smile.
She still hadn't looked directly in a mirror yet. Her initial fear of her own reflection prevented her from doing so.
As the elf sighed in relief she turned a corner in the hall and headed for her locker. She blinked in surprise seeing someone standing there. "Oh, Hello again Harry~" Ari greeted with a shy smile, happy to see her new friend. "Um... Is your locker around here too?" She asked.

Harry beamed at Arillena.
"What's happening, dudette? My locker is...."
Harry looked around. Hmmm....where was locker again?
"...around...somewhere. Cosmically speaking, we're all Far Out Neighbors in the Universe!"
Smiling naively, Harry presented Ari with the lava lamp. The small volcano inside the lamp happily burbled lava when shoved at her.
"As part of the Fae Welcoming Committee For Ari, I give you this piece of the Nevernever to a lost child...who..."
Harry sniffled as tears welled up.
"...who returned to us."
Openly weeping, Harry shoved the lava lamp into Ari's arms. He pulled out a hankie and blew his nose.

"Oh please!?""No.""Oh please!?""No.""Oh please!?""No.""PLEEEEEEEEASEEEEE!!!!"Headless Headmistress Bloodgood sighed behind her desk and set her quill, and her head, down on the desk top so she could focus on the pleading gremlin peeking at her over the edge of the desk."Lin, I already asked Layla to be Bobby's student mentor. Why are you so anxious to do so now yourself?""Because he's a walking `lectric phenom!"Bloodgood sighed and would have shook her head had it been on her shoulders."I should have known.""Oh PLEASE!? I promise I'll do a real good job and won't let anything get in the way! PLEEEEEASE!?""Alright Lin! I'll speak with Layla and let her know that I'm going to give you a chance.""Yes!" Lin pumped his fist. "You won't regret it!""It's not me I'm worried about."JD Leeds Don't new student bodies usually get a Student Mentor? Looks like yours stood you up!

Draconia St George "He STILL didn't tell me why he stood me up!"
The green blur blew past her locker, sending many papers from Draconia's locker as well as other students in the corridor scattering in the tail wind, leaving them to be picked up at random when...
*CRASH!*
Draconia winced. She had been beasties with Glen for quite some time but never could find herself getting used to the reckless nature of the little witch... or his propensity for shrugging off any danger that recklessness might cause.
Glen staggered back from around the corner where a Glen-dented locker now resided, with his skateboard tucked under his arm. His eyes rolled around in circles until he shook the cobwebs clear and smiled at Draconia."How'd your date go!? Tell me EVERYTHING!"

The TV headed gentlebot's speaker would emit a recording of a humanoid yelp, as the screen would have the same red exclamation mark appear with a yellow background. Turning his head to the direction of the new voice to register in his memory bank, how strange! Bobby pondered, why was this organic's skin texture green? And why was his metric height lower than the average organic population located here? How interesting!
"Why-why-why hello there! My name iiii-s-s-s Bobby! What is yo-yours?" The gentlebot would lower his lengthy arm down to the gremlin, to offer him his gloved hand as a sign of new found friendship.

Glen da West "How'd your date go!? Tell me EVERYTHING!"
"Glen, that would be dreadfully rude. And likely fatal.""Not fatal enough for some manster who stood up my Drakie." Glen muttered."I haven't decided yet if I'm going to accept JD's offer for a, er, re-take on the date." Draconia replied. "I'll get the opinions of several monsters, and let him know before the Graveball game tonight."
"Well, my vote is no, no way, heck no, he lost his chance!" Glen answered stoutly. "Everyone at school knows JD is a player, Drakie! Remember his argument with Vanissha in the Creepateria?"
"I do remember..." Draconia thought back to Glen's 'grimterviews' of possible dates for her, and how JD had seemed very much like a typical 'bro,' the type Hellene was always warning her about. But still...he'd also shown her that side of himself that she didn't think many monsters got to see...that nerdy, comic-book loving side.
Or had that all been part of his persona of being a player? Draconia was all kinds of conflicted now. "Like I said, Glen, I won't decide until later. But I WILL take your opinion into consideration.""Good." Glen crossed his arms a bit grumpily. He seemed tired, like he'd been through quite a lot yesterday. "Now if you will hexcuse me...I do want to get to Drama early. Mr. Where and I are going to be hearing clawditions for the lead role in my play today!""That's right! The play! Who's going to play me, Drakie? Can I play me? Pllleeeeeaaaaase?" Glen asked, his sour mood all forgotten. "I'd be the beast at playing me, you know.""One, you aren't in drama class this scaremester, two, the play is only BASED on our adventure this fall and does not actually star us as characters, and three, Glen, unlike in your LARPing, you have to stay on the stage when you act in a play, rather than zipping everywhere on a flying skateboard."
"Awww." Glen looked crestfallen. But only a tiny bit. "All right. Well, I'll see you at lunch, then."
"See you at lunch!" Draconia waved goodbye to her little beastie. She tucked away all of her worry about the JD stitchuation and prepared herself for the clawditions. She was hexpecially interested, she admitted, in seeing what the new ghoul, Arillena, would bring to the stage.

On the other side of all mirrors, there existed another dimension. That dimension was known to its denizens as Mirorverse, an In-Between place. It wasn't one dimension, and it wasn't another. It was in-between them all. And every mirror in every dimension could act as a window into the realm of Mirrorverse.
This was where the mirror witch Mary and her son Rory lived, and this is where Rory had awoken to discover he was running abysmally late. "Oh dear!" He hexclaimed to himself as he rushed to get dressed for school. Yesterday had been so stressful and worrysome and quite frankly DANGEROUS, that the young mirror witch had completely hexausted himself and slept through his alarm. He practically jumped into his jeans and clawtiously ran fingers through his hair, checking his scalp to ensure that the cracks that ran down one side of his shiny, mirrored skin had not spread at all during the night."So late! So late!" Rory lamented to himself as he scarefully ran down the hallways of his lovely, victorian-era home that was positioned in the center of Mirrorverse. Mirrors lined all of the black walls of his home. Each mirror was the back side of a mirror somewhere in the real world, and the mirrors inside of the house had been chosen specifically by Mary Bludworth for the convenience of travel between those points and Mirrorverse. As a result, many of the mirrors were ones inside of Monster High. Rory usually exited his home through the mirror in the Boo's Bat-room or through the mirror in Marceline LaGhede's compact, but in his rush of trying to slip on his shoes, he fell against one that was much closer."I can't be late for cla-aaaaah!" And with a clattering crash, Rory fell through the closest mirror in his house, and found himself crumpled up inside of some unfortunate monster's locker.
Unknown to him, it was actually Arillena FaeDathana's locker, which immediately erupted with the sounds of a mirror witch in distress."Help! Please help! I've probably shattered into a billion pieces! That's definitely going to make me late for class!"
