Draculaura smiled and shifted over so Arillena could sit next to her and Draconia.
"Hiiii!"Draculaura grinned fangily. "Do you have your script picked out?!"
Before Arillena could answer, Mr. Where appeared on the stage in front of them.
"Students! We have many clawditions to get through today, so we must not tarry. Each of you picked out a scene from a script yesterday to perform today, and Ms. St. George and I will evaluate your performances and determine who shall play which role in her place, 'Sinistairia!'"
Every eye turned to Draconia, who gave a sheepish, blushing wave to everymonster in the Clawditorium.
"Prrr...no real reason for any other clawditions. This kitty's got it in the bag."Toralei bragged from the back of the Clawditorium.
"We shall see, Ms. Stripe." Mr. Where stepped off the stage and took a seat right in the middle of the clawdience. Draconia sat down next to him as every student clawditionining headed up on the stage and walked backstage.
"Are you ready, Draconia?"Mr. Where asked her as she took a seat next to him. Draconia smiled.
"Certainly! I can't wait to see which scenes everymonster chose." She answered, preparing to take notes.
"Prepare yourself for a lot of recitations of Groanio and Ghouliet." Mr. Where forewarned. "It's the one most often used." "That's all right, I uhh-dore Spooksefeare."Draconia replied. The first student, Heath Burns, stepped up to center stage and a spotlight shined on him.
"A-he-he-he-hem! For my clawdition, I will recite the soliliquey from Groanio and Ghouliet! Groanio, oh, Groanio, wherefore....uh.....line?" Heath looked offstage.
Draconia looked at Mr. Where, who sighed. This class was going to take a while.

Well as quick as ever it seems! But it was quite the fun little adventure the gentlebot was being thrust into, waving the odd avian a polite goodbye."It's a-a-a pleasure to me-me-meet you, Perry!"
Bobby was dragged along by the gremlin half his size through the halls, he now initiating his thought process procedure, until his sensors picked up another unusual organic, an odd blue colored.. Human? That caused his screen to show a red exclamation mark with a yellow background. "Li-Lin? May I-I-I-I riddle you a que-ques-question? Are hu-hu-humans allowed in this educa-cative building?"

Kai was feeling really upbeat today, as he worked in his first class, Art Class. There were several reasons for this.
One: Arillena seemed to be fitting in really well, already here at Monster High! She didn't even need him to guide her to classes anymore.
Two: He wasn't killed dead by vengeful deadtention students last night.
Three: His final project for Art Class was finally coming together. He'd finally settled on a theme for his collage - Diversity.
Four: He had not been killed dead last night by crazed deadtention students. That was so encouraging it had to be listed twice.
In art class, Kai's long-frozen creativity finally seemed ready to flow, like the dam of artist's block that had been bothering him all Scaremester had finally broken, and the ideas were rushing outof his head like a flood.
"Bottle caps!" Kai nearly screamed in clas. "I need bottle caps! And GLUE!"
"Which glue, bro?"Nero du Sphinx, Kai's beast bro, asked him at the easel next to him.
"ALL THE GLUE!" Kai shouted to the heavens as he launched paint from a bucket onto the canvas that made up the base of his collage. "Ha ha ha ha ha haaaaa!"
Sometimes, it was easy to see that Kai had a little bit of his mad scientist dad's personality in him.
"Yesss..." Kai hissed at the canvas as Nero plonked the nearest bottle of glue into his waiting claws. Kai launched the glue at the canvas. He paused...and then tacked the empty bottle up there as well. "A little bit of everything...all alike and yet all different...but working together in harmoy....This..IS...DIVERSITY!"
Paint, glue, wire, clay and other materials started flying as Kai went into full-on Mad Artist mode, attacking the canvas with a ravenous fervor that would only be staunched by the ringing of the bell.

"You don't have to be polite to Perry. Nobluddy else is."Lin said as he maneuvered himself in between the masses of student disembodies milling about the halls of the school. That was one of the perks of being of smaller stature than almost everyone else around you: you could get around crowds without getting stuck -- although at times you risked the odd accidental boot across the hall by the errant student on a mission who didn't see you.
And they hadn't seen Lin, despite the obvious jokes!
Boy that Perry brat really ground his gears! It must be awful to be so bitter about your unlife that you have to go around and be rude to absolutely everyone else around you -- especially to a new student, too! It was a good thing Bobby was here or else Lin had half a mind to teach that avian a lesson.
They arrived at the door to Dead Languages when Lin piped up to answer Bobby's question.
"Normies? Here? Well there was an adult normie here a year or so ago that caused us real trouble. Name o' Van Helscream. Or did you mean student because we always have..."
As if on cue, Jackson Jeckyl walked past the two and into the class.
"Well we have him but he's just normie part of the time. Anyway, enjoy class! I'll meet you after to take you to lunch!"
Lin then hurried off and vanished in the midst of a zombie mob.

The students in the Art Class were treated to bearing witness to a mighty (?) tug-of-war between art rivals and very good bluddies, Kai Merha and Layla LaMia as Kai's claws dug into the tin pail filled with sand that Layla held tightly to in her own claws!
"Kai! Let go of that this instant!"
"I need it!"
"As do I! It's for my project!"
"It'll go perfect with my ... everything!"
"Do you have any idea how impossible it is to find emerald sand!?"
"Of course I don't! That's why I need it!"
"Kai Merha! Let. GO!"
Digging her tail in tightly, Layla won out, tearing the bucket from Kai's grasp and Kai emitted a snarling howl of Mad Artist madness! Layla slowly backed up towards her own work station, eyeing her fiend warily.

*Gulp..* Oh dear... After several other students voiced their auditions. Ari was so enchanted and distracted by the interesting plays and scripts everyone had been using she didn't realize it was her turn-
-until she was alone on the stage. The confidence the Fae had earlier was threatening to shatter as the eyes of more then a few unfamiliar classmates stared her down like the spotlight above her. "When ever you are ready Miss Arillena." Mr. Where's voice spoke from off stage somewhere.
Ari took a deep breath. "I- I.. For my Audit- I mean Clawdition.. I will be reciting a monologue from A- A Midsummer Night's Dream." She said a bit too loudly in an attempt to cover her timid shakiness. The faces in the seats before her resembled a mix of Boredom and expectancy. A couple faces smiled at her, while one or two rolled their eyes at her stammering.
The Fae cleared her throat and stood up straight. Her voice started out soft and she could feel her legs shaking. What on earth is wrong with me?
"T-the king doth keeps- keep!... his revels here tonight: Take heed the- the queen come not within- hi-his sight..."
She'd been on stage before, at her old school. Never before has she felt this much stage-fright. The blonde's body was stiff and her voice decibel was fluctuating. The elf paused to take a breath and heard a quiet snicker. Green eyes darted towards the source. The Cat girl- Toralei, If she remembered correctly- was grinning and shaking her head. The feline's eye's pierced the elf critically.
Ari glanced down at her hands- which had slightly begun to turn a shade of purple from her rising anxiety. Oh no... Please no... She thought desperately.
No. Not this time.
Ari closed her eyes. Rose her head and adjusted her stance. "A lovely boy, stolen from an Indian king; She never had so sweet a changeling."
She kept her eyes closed, but her voice had stopped fluctuating and now resonated clearly. "But she perforce withholds the loved boy, Crowns him with flowers and makes him all her joy."
She opened her eyes and began to move around the stage as a proper Puck the Fairy would have. Her hands returned to normal (Well as normal as she wanted them) and her shaking gradually stopped till she was performing the rest of the tricksters lines smoothly. "But, they do square, that all their elves for fear Creep into acorn-cups... and hide them there."
When she finished the Changeling exhaled with relief and Curtsied. She looked up. Her classmates were silent. Oh dear... Is it because I chose a Human's script? Did I stutter too much? Oh dear oh dear... As the Faerie fretted she failed to realize that during the last half of her Audition she was getting too far into the character her wings had flashed into view. Oh..What to do.. shall I simply return to my seat now?
The king doth keep his revels here to-night: Take heed the queen come not within his sight; For Oberon is passing fell and wrath, Because that she as her attendant hath A lovely boy, stolen from an Indian king; She never had so sweet a changeling; And jealous Oberon would have the child Knight of his train, to trace the forests wild; But she perforce withholds the loved boy, Crowns him with flowers and makes him all her joy: And now they never meet in grove or green, By fountain clear, or spangled starlight sheen, But, they do square, that all their elves for fear Creep into acorn-cups and hide them there.
"Thank you, Ms. FaeDathanna. You may take your seat."Mr. Where informed Arillena from the centre of the clawdience. She was the last performer, and the student bodies turned to chat with each other as they waited for class to end.
"Well, what do you think?"Mr. Where asked Draconia, who was furr-iously scribbling notes."Did any performances stand out?"
"Oh...several, I think!"Draconia replied."Draculaura probably had the beast reading of Groanio and Ghouliet. You were right...we heard that one a LOT."
"Well, give me your notes and I will take them into consideration when I announce the lead roles tomorrow."Mr. Where answered."At the very least, I believe we can divine our four leads - the two heroes and the two villains."
"FangTAStic!" Draconia replied. She was getting very hexcited. She already had in mind hexactly who she wanted in each role, and she hoped Mr. Where agreed. "Do you need anything else from-"
*RING!*
Draconia was cut off by the end of feariod bell. All of the students sitting in the Clawditorium stood up and started gathering their things. Mr. Where waved Draconia off.
"No, I have everything I need right here. Tonight, I shall craft together the greatest starring cast of a school play in hiss-tory!" He told her with a dramatic flair. Draconia smiled. "In hiss-tory!" She answered back with a suppressed giggle. She joined Arillena and Draculaura on their way out of the Clawditorium. "Great job, both of you!"Draconia told them. Draculaura frowned. "If I had known Heath Burns was going to do the same soliloquy as me, I would have performed something from Twi-Hard 3: The Final Sparkle instead!"
"It's all fright."Draconia soothed her tiny vampire friend."I just know this play is going to be spook-tacular! You both should be very proud of your clawditions. I know I could never go up on stage and perform like that."
"Your clawdition for 'The Wizard of Ooze' last year didn't go SO bad." Draculaura reminded Draconia. "You only set the curtains on fire once. That was two times less than Heath Burns did!"
"And punched a hole through the set AND knocked Invisibilly into the third row."Draconia reminded Draculaura. "If Glen's mum wasn't 'donating' for that play, I would have never gotten a role in it!"
"That's....probably true."Draculaura agreed as gently as she could. Draconia's stage fright was well-known around school by this point. It magnified her lack of grace to a frightening degree. "But you did, and the play was uhh-mazing. And I know this one will be, too!"
"Arillena, I loved your choice of monologue."Draconia informed the changeling ghoul. "Very few students here appreciate Spookesfeare's works from BEFORE his death!"

Thursday: LUNCHTIME!
Perry and Nathair took their usual spot in the creepateria.
Nathair was babbling on about that school play again, and Perry wasn’t even pretending he cared.
Vinnie joined them, dumping her tray down with a loud bang as she sat. Her tentacles curled into a smirk as both boos jumped at the sound.
“Was tha’ really necessary?” Nathair protested.
“Completely.” She replied smugly as she turned her attention to Perry. “What’s this I hear about you having a secret admirer?”
Perry groaned. “you told her?”
Nathair shrugged. “Wha’ can I say, it was funny.”
Vinnie nodded as the two of them laughed. Perry removed his glasses to massage the bridge of his nose. "it's NOT funny... " He spoke through gritted teeth.
“So what you gonna do?” Vinnie probed.
“Nothing. I’m gonna do nothing.” Perry sighed. “of all the boos in this stupid school, why HIM?” He made a face.
“I dunno, I can think a worse… “ Nathair chuckled. “wha’s so bad abou’ Ronan?”
“Oh let’s see, he’s annoying, he’s obnoxious, he never listens, he seems allergic to apologies and he makes things worse wherever he goes!”
“Heeey, that sounds just like you!” Vinnie smirked.
“Shut up, we’re nothing alike. And besides, what if this is all just some weird Finnish thing.”
“Norwegian” Nathair corrected.
“what?”
“He’s Norwegian.”
“whatever! What I mean is, maybe they just.. give monsters muffins after near death experiences as some kind of cultural.. thing… like.. some weird Finnish custom”
“Norwegian”
“I said WHATEVER!” Perry was clasping at straws now, trying to rationalise how this could not and no way be a token of affection. Maybe Atomica had been sent muffins too! Maybe Motthew? He scanned the room for either monster desperately.
“I dunno… sending muffins is a rather affectionate thing to do… “ Vinnie shrugged, clearly enjoying Perry’s torment.
Nathair also seemed rather amused by the whole situation.
“Can we please just talk about something else?” Perry pleaded.
“mmm, we’ll consider it… “ Nathair grinned.
“I hate you guys.”

"Well we have him but he's just normie part of the time. Anyway, enjoy class! I'll meet you after to take you to lunch!"
"Oh dear-dear, he seemed like a-a-a-a-a-a-a nice fellow however! But of-of course, I sha-sha-shall be stationed he-re-rererere-re!"This "Dead Language" class was quite interesting, it seemed quite new to the usual humanoid version of the subject where the seamless stream of words and symbols were reinforced for future memory and reciting. Nevertheless, it did excite his circuits to register new information! Even if said information was a new form of language!
.. Which made him quite relieved that he know could now understand the constant moaning and groaning from the non-living organics that constantly tapped his metallic shoulder for a pencil. A lovely crowd however! Even this.. "Normie" Jackson Jeckyl seemed like a swell enough kind of guy, not one of those rude senselessly selfish humanoid organics he was programmed to remember by his parental mother and father units!
With a notebook that was full and coated with a plethora of numbers and codes in his right metallic gloved hand, the gentlebot would stand outside of the classroom surveying the area with the assistance of his towering metric height to look for a certain green organic..

Harry's morning had been fairly hexciting. Not Centaur Girl threatened to strangle him with a boo-ngee cord(whatever that was) in Bite-ology and Harry caused a scene in Home Ick when he tried to investigate if all ingredients were goreganic. Who wants tasty blood red pepper hummus if it was full of hexicides!?
"Total squares, man, total squares."
A couple of students gave Harry odd looks as he answered himself on the way to lunch. He wondered what vegan goodness they had in store for him today.

Before heading to the Creepateria for lunch, Rory hovered near Arillena FaeDathanna's locker. He wanted to apologize for breaking her locker mirror - a grievous faux pas in his fractured eyes. He'd chosen a nice, small pocket mirror from his personal collection as an apology - it had a delicate, filigreed border around the mirror and he was certain it would pass as a proper apology.
After this was done, he'd have to head to lunch and try again to figure out why Marceline was being so short with him - she'd seemed distracted and grumpy all through Dead Languages.

"Thank you~" The Changling smiled shyly at her Dragonness Friend. "It is one of my favorites, unfortunately Midsummer does not get as much attention as the others, unless you consider the New modernized version."
After Drama Ari waved to Draconia and headed towards her locker to switch out some of her books. Hm?
"Oh, Hello again Rory," She smiled approaching him. The Fae tilted her head, he seemed troubled. "Is everything alright?" Ari asked as she began to open her locker.
Nero stood at his locker, frowning and picking pencils off his jacket. Kai had gone a little, well, mad with the glue and now Nero kept finding things stuck to him that were neither bling nor righteous in their style.
"GAH! Another one!" he cried, and ripped off his gold chains, now tangled with vines (from sitting too close to Venus last period), lace bows (from walking too close to Draculaura) and miscellaneous small meteor fragments (no idea).
The chains and his jacket were dumped unceremoniously into the bottom of his locker. Glancing furtively around, he tapped a secret compartment in the back and pulled out his emergency bling. You never know when you'll have a bling emergency.
Donning a new jacket and some tasteful accessories, a far less sticky manster was ready for lunch.

"Hey Bubby!"
"Bobby."
"Whatever. Ready for lunch?"Lin beamed as he did an about turn and marched down the hallway, escorting Bobby towards the Creepateria which was now in full lunch-mode amidst the students. Lin grasped his bagged lunch (with a few treats for Gryff from his nana for good measure) in one claw and held it up to his new pal. They arrived just outside of the large open doors to the interior when Lin paused and turned to Bobby.
"I brought my lunch!"Lin proclaimed."I always do."He then peered closely at Bobby and asked,"Did you bring yours?"His eyes opened wider."Oo! Do you EAT?"
Lin then waved his claws, causing his lunch to jostle around in the brown paper -recyclable paper bag and headed into the crowded creepateria with Bobby right behind. "You're lucky you're with me! You get an automatic seat at the cool kids table! Otherwise you'd have to find a place to sit like a complete n00b! And heeeere we are!"
Lin arrived at the far corner table where his bestest bluddy in the whole wide world, Gryff, was seated, and across from him, Lin's pseudo-sister of sorts, Atomica.
"Hiya Gryff! Atomica! Look who I brought to join us!"Lin set his lunch down onto the table and held a claw out to Bobby."This here is Bobby Telly Tube!"Lin turned back to look at his hero Gryff, two claws in his overalls and a proud 'puff' to his chest."I'm his mentor today!"

Atomica looked at Lin.
Her neck-servos inclined her head and she looked up at Bobby.
They declined and she looked at Lin again.
"Hexcuse me." She informed everyone at the table and stood up. Still staring back from Lin to Bobby and back again, she walked backwards through the creepateria. Without looking away, she dodged past Jackson Jekyll and his plate of Mac n' Queeze, around Ricky the ice gorilla and his iced tea, and underneath the legs of Seyemon, the tallest cyclops in school.
She did not come to a stop nor look away until she reached the table where Ronan Aalto was sitting. Atomica ducked behind him and crouched down so that Lin and Bobby couldn't see her anymore.
"ARE THEY STILL LOOKING?!" She whispered in a loud voice to Ronan.
