The gentlebot would project a cartoonish surprised face from Gryff's sudden statement, but that would quickly be replaced with a cheery grin. As he settled his towering height of 6"11 onto the table with his two new organic companions. "I-I-I'm glad then! I do-do-don't wish to see-see-seem outda-da-dated!" Much irony put there. But when asked about his 'story' the gentlebot seemed a bit confused by that for a moment. Before clasping his hands together in a sudden fit of inspiration, even releasing a recording of a humanized "Ooooohhh" without the stutter.
"Yo-you wish to le-le-learn of my crea-a-a-ation, yes? Wonderful! Let me see whe-whe-where I can begin.." He said before his usually blank black screen flickered a sudden computerized blue, having a plethora of number and codes running down at a rapid pace before his humanoid voice turned more mechanic.
"Unit 34892-B, created within Rob-co Assembly Plant, located--- shshhhhhtt--- Way, date assembled--- sssshhhhtttt-- 1928. Serial number: 67-384-AJKL-IUOP. Assembled by: Unit 64578-O and Unit 21367-B, labeled "Father" and "Mother". Created for use of: -ssssshhhhttt- and Builder."
Suddenly the recording would end, with the blue screen with the white text fading, causing the usual cartoonish face of Bobby to appear. Smiling expectantly towards the two organic males, "Is-Is-Is that satisfactory? A-A-A block seeeeeeEEEEEEMS to not all-low-low-low me to continue mymymymy recording, apologies. I will-will try to fix that later." He would have spoken more until his visual sensors picked up sight of Motthew, he suddenly rising to his tall lanky height and walking over to him in such awe. His weakness was winged creatures of the sort, so seeing such a organic in front of him would make his circuitry spark with excitement. "Ex-Ex-Excuse me, but wha-wha-what manner of cre-cre-creature are you?"

Motthew's antenna twitched as the new boo suddenly approached him. He smiled at him, over his sunglasses, "Whoa!" he grinned at the screen, the brightness really drawing his attention immediately.
"Creature?" He tilted his head, trying to hear clearly over the bright light and his stuttering, "I'm a moth! Dad's the Mothman." he grinned proudly, "Names Motthew. It's nice to meet you!"

Harry peered over the table top in the direction. He saw Atomica's gremlin friend, another boo Harry didn't recognize, and an another android. HIM!? Atomica was having a Freak Out over him? Harry blinked in confusion.
"I don't understand. Why is a groovy and righteous ghoul like you worrying about him? You blow the doors off that guy! He looks like he's ready for the boneyard."Harry idly wondered what the "Trouble Tribe" was before something hit him. Did Atomica call the new droid a hunk?

"But just LOOK at him! He's got VINTAGE CHARM!" Atomica nearly wailed, still doing her best to stay hidden behind Ronan. "How can I possibly compete with that much retro-old-timey-good-old-fashioned-cathode-tube studliness?"
She peeked again over Ronan's shoulder. Gryff and Lin were talking to the new boo.
And SMILING.
It was too late! She'd already been replaced!
"Oh noooooooooo!" Atomica sobbed, resting her forehead on Ronan's back. "How could this have happened? They must have decided it last night while I was in the Catacombs. Because I was absent, I didn't get a vote in my own replacement!"
"You...you are getting my coat wet..." Ronan spoke up, awkwardly. "By the way, do you eat? Muffins?"
Muffins of MOURNING!!" Atomica declared, pulling her head up from Ronan's back and activating a sniffling cycle. "Crullers of cruelty! Cinnamon buns of sorrow!"
Atomica's hands suddenly clamped on Ronan and Harry's shoulders.
"No. This can't be it! I refuse to be carted down to the recycling center to have my parts repurposed while some OTHER robot gets to fetch Gryff caffiendated drinks! I LAUGH at my own obsolescence! HA! HA! HA!" Atomica laughed defiantly. "You two will help me! You will prove to Lin and Gryff that Atomica version 1.6 is FAR SUPERIOR to that pixel-faced stud-muffin!"
"We will?" Ronan asked, shifting uncomfortably in his seat.
"We will! Groovy!" Harry, sensing that this robotic conflict was definitely messing with the BOJANGLES, was more than ready to take hacktion.
"And just how do we do that." Ronan sighed, realizing that perhaps THIS was going to have to suffice for his apology in lieu of any baked-goods basket.
"Um..." Atomica mused, as her hard drive started sorting through possible scenarios that would lead to Lin and Gryff turning their backs on Suit-bot 1.0 over there and returning her into their fold. "Maybe you two could just sort of...casually be over there, and just happen to be, like, totally talking about me? I mean, in a way that, like, they'll overhear and be like 'woah, Atomica, I remember her! She was pretty clawesome, probs more clawesome than this new hot-bot we've decided to boot her out of our click-que for for!'"
Atomica clasped her hands in front of her and put on her most appealing eye-batting sequence at Ronan and Harry.
"Puh-lease?!"

As the student bodies of Monster High were settling in the Creepateria to enjoy lunch, the Headless Headmistress rushed in, seated atop her steed Nightmare.
"Attention, students!" She announced, taking off her head and holding it up high to garner everymonster's attention. "As you all know, tonight Monster High's own graveball team will be facing off against Luna High for the Northwestern Monster Division Title!"
Hoots, cheers, hisses and howls filled the Creepateria. The Headmistress held her head up higher.
"To rally ourselves before the big match tonight, the last hour of classes will be replaced with a Pep Rally in the Grimnasium! The Monster High Fear Squad worked long and hard last fright decorating the Grim and will lead us in rallying fears for the Nightmares!"
Even more noise rose up from the students, partially for the pep rally and partially for not having to go to their last class of the day.
"I hope that you will all come to the game tonight and support Clawd Wolf and the rest of our Nightmare team."
The Headmistress finished her speech and put her head back on. More acclawse followed her as her steed Nightmare, the school mascot, reared up on her back legs and gave everyone a rallying whinny before speeding out of the Creepateria.

"Yes! Wooo!" Kai howled along with the rest of the students at HH Bloodgood's announcement. He and a few other students had all worked together on the big Monster High mural in the Grimnasium, and it was usually covered by a set of bleachers. During pep rallies, they removed the bleachers and the students could all enjoy the mural as it formed the backdrop of the stage they put out.
Kai was sitting next to Layla LaMia, and the two of them were awaiting Nero du Sphinx. Nero was running a little behind. Sometimes this was because Nero had the world's worst sense of direction and a wrong turn had sent him wandering the school grounds, but Kai suspected this delay was because of first feariod Art Class. A bit sheepish about having lost his mind over his art project, Kai had bought apology groanuts for both Layla and Nero.
"Are you coming to the game tonight?" Kai asked Layla as she inspected the sprinkle-covered treat he'd given her.
"Of courssse." She replied. "I'm curious to sssee the halfslime show the Fear Squad have planned."
"The Luna High team's been trying all week to psyche out the Nightmares." Kai nodded. "I hear they've been heckling practices and putting up signs at the Maul, things like that."
"That'sss that pack mentality for you." Layla agreed. "Luna High just can't ssstand that Monster High is the alpha team in the division."
"Makes me wish I was on the Graveball team..." Kai mused. He wasn't big on competitive sports, but he thought some of Luna High's actions boardered on unsportsmanster-like. They were notoriously cut-throat as a team and making it to the finals in the division this year had made them even more competitive. "I guess I'll just have to channel all of my school spirit into my art instead!"

"I uh.." Ronan looked to Harry uncertainly but Harry seemed far more enthused about the idea.
Slowly Ronan rose to his feet. "Very well.. "
He followed Harry over to where Atomica pointed, but he looked anything BUT casual. He stood awkwardly, looking over at Gryff, Lin and Bobby a little too frequently.

Perry looked faintly more cheerful at the Headmistresses' annoucement. Yes, they were gonna crush Luna High, and it was gonna be brutal. Of this he was sure, the coming game was going to be exhilarating. He almost wished he was on the field right now, tackling a few arrogant werewolves into the mud would have really cheered him up about now.
"Hey." Nathair indicated Atomica who was sniffling rather pathetically nearby. "Is she ok?"
"Who knows? Maybe she has a few screws loose." Vinnie suggested.
Perry smirked slightly at the remark, but watched Ronan and Harry get up and walk away. What was going on?
He beckoned Atomica over. "Hey... you ok?"
Nathair half grinned. "Sure ye dinnae want tae ask her about muffins?"
"Shut up."

Harry projected enthusiasm but he was feeling a bit Bummed Out. Atomica referred to the new droid as "studly" and "hot" and "a muffin." She obviously didn't think of Harry as a delicious goreoganic baked good. Also, she wanted to enslave herself to this "Gryff" dude? Not cruel. But Harry really liked Atomica and Atomica's chromed finish so he pretended to go along with it.
Harry and Ronan stopped a short distance from Gryff, Lin, and the Muffin Bot. Ronan clearly had no clue as what to do so it was up to Harry to save the day.
"Crimson and clover, Ronan! Atomica is the most righteous ingoreganic lifeform I have ever met! She is Switched On and Smashing! "
Harry loudly pretended to argue the merits of Atomica with Ronan.
"Uh...I think so...too?"
"Incense and peppermints, Ronan, she's going to perform with Jimi Hexdrix at Woestock! She's founding a member of the BOJANGLES! YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE A TOTAL SQUARE AND A SECRET AGENT OF....
"THE MONSTER"
....TO NOT WANT ATOMICA!"
There...Harry had leveled the greatest insult possible of anyone who was anti-Atomica. "The Monster" was the most heinous authority ever and "The Monster" was always keeping folks down. Harry had given it his best shot. Was he a delicious baked good now?

Atomica watched Harry and Ronan with apprehension. With them over there, her cover was blown. What could she do? Atomica became acutely aware of Perry Hartley trying to wave her over. What could HE possibly want?
Unless....Yes! A brilliant plan was formulated in Atomica's hard-drive. She would show Gryff and Lin how valuable she was by interacting with Perry and ! They would be so stunned by her apparent popularity with other boos that they would beg her to return to the Trouble Tribe!
Atomica strolled over to Perry and in a very dramatic manner.
"Perry! How are you doing?! It's been, like, so long! In fact, I calculate it has been hexactly 14 hours, 38 minutes and 12 seconds since we last hexchanged dialogues! BUT IT FEELS LIKE AN ETERNITY! We should SOO fang out more! Like, maybe, all the time!"
Atomica craned her neck-servos to try to see what Gryff and Lin's reaction to all of this was.
She turned back to Perry and .
"So, what is up with you? Interesting things? Other interesting things? Perhaps you have several VERY INTERESTING STORIES you'd like to share! I'd totes love to hear them! And I can even fetch you liquid refreshment if you'd like!"

Perry looked a bit bemused at Atomica but shifted a little so she could sit.
"Beverage? uh.. no.. i'm good." He held up his own drink. "What's going on?" He was trying to distract himself and indeed his friends from this whole Ronan situation, and it seemed to be working. Sweet.
Nathair however seemed a little more aware of what was going on. He'd put two and two together, and Harry and Ronan weren't exactly being quiet in their proclamation of Atomica's good points.
He grinned and held out a hand. "Hey, Atomica right? Perry tells us ye really saved the day last night. Ye'r a hero."
"Well I wouldn't go that far..." Perry started, but Nathair hushed him and shot him a LOOK that had Perry gulp.
The peryton nodded. "yes... completely a hero... sure... " Nope, he was still completely lost as to what was going on.
"So Atomica... Did ye get any muffins sent tae ye this mornin?" Nathair asked.
Perry groaned, no no no, not this again.

Bobby Telly Tube "Ex-Ex-Excuse me, but wha-wha-what manner of cre-cre-creature are you?"
At Bobby's question, Lin looked up wide-eyed, "What kind of monster...? He's GRYFF! The absolute BEAST monster to have ever walked the corridors of Monster High"Never minding a massive amount of eye rolling from nearby tables that overheard the small gremlin and his usual 'Gryff boasting', Lin leaned forward and whispered, "Despite what school records say about someone named 'Byff'."Lin sat up straight and spoke in his normal volume again..."It's okay, Bobby. Soon as Atomica comes back, we can fill you in on everything you need to know about Gryff here!"Harry Herne Harry loudly pretended to argue the merits of Atomica with Ronan."Uh...I think so...too?""Incense and peppermints, Ronan, she's going to perform with Jimi Hexdrix at Woestock! She's founding a member of the BOJANGLES! YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE A TOTAL SQUARE AND A SECRET AGENT OF....

Glen was seated in his boosual seat beside his beastie, 'his' Drakie, trying to subdue a particularly unending strand of spazghetti, while listening to her tell him all about the first day of clawditions for her play, when he inhaled mightily, determined to be victorious, when the boodle lashed out and slapped him across the forehead, rocking his head backward and leaving a vertical trail of spazghetti sauce up his face, from lips to his hairline. "Ha HA!" He air fisted nobluddy in particular, then blinked and looked at Draconia and smiled sheepishly. "Aw I'm sorry Drakie. You were saying?""Oh that's quite alright Glen." She said, absently picking up one of her cloth napkins (she always kept spares knowing Glen's table habits) and started dabbing at the sauce on his face. "I was just saying how well Arillena is doing in Drama and I think she might be quite suitable for..."Of course, that would be when Harry's outburst was heard from clear across the creepateria, drawing several heads to turn in his general direction, Glen amongst them. He hovered up (chair and all) to get a bird's eye view of the commotion but the ever-polite Drakie s-l-o-w-l-y pulled him back down to his spot beside her.
Glen leaned over and tried to covertly whisper to her, "Is it too late to erase his name from 'the list'?"

"Yes, clearly you were also supposed to receive them." Perry nodded, quite happy to run with that train of logic.
Nathair and Vinnie exchanged glances, then started snickering again.
"It's not funny" Perry insisted.
"Did YOU get muffins then?" Atomica queried, was that why these three were so obsessed by the idea? Were they mocking her with muffins?
Perry squirmed uncomfortably in his seat.
"Now.. i'm most certain ye deserve muffins, or some other gesture a affection." Nathair started.
Perry was glaring at him but the naga ignored him.
"Can ye even eat muffins?"
"Maybe chrome polish would be more appropriate?" Perry tried to steer the conversation away.
"Face it Perry, he totally has a thing for you." Vinnie snorted, clearly enjoying the boo's torment a little too much.
"We're not talking about this." Perry protested and tried again. "So Atomica, what's going on with you and the reject crew over there?" He indicated Gryff and Lin. "Finally gotten sick of being bossed around?"
