Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kai saw Arillena walk in and he practically pounced on top of her.

"Ari! You agree that Luna High has gone too far, don't you?"

"Y-yes?" She replied, not used to seeing Kai so...hexcitable.

"And you've got some sort of disguise ability, right?"

"My glamour?" She asked. Kai turned to the other three art class students.

"Glamour..." Jewels tapped a long, curved claw on her chin. "That...justmightwork..."

"Ari..." Kai led her away from the door and sat her down in their little circle. "Would you be willing to help us give Luna High a taste of their own dreadicine?"

Glen fidgeted in his cocoon of blue and silver creep paper as *his* Drakie made short work of the first layer that his wayward spell had entombed him within. Glen smiled at her brightly... at least she thought that's what he was doing as she could only spot a small glimpse of his mouth through the remaining layers of his wrapping.

"Only a few dozen more layers to go!" Glen chirped brightly as Draconia sighed, smiling despite herself as she went to work on the next.

"Glen, you could be a stand in for Cleo's dad with this many layers." She joked and heard a guffaw of giddy laughter from her bluddy in return.

"I know, right!" He replied, and after a brief pause, he suggested, "Maybe if you just give that loose piece a good tug?"

Draconia looked down and blinked as there was a long strand of blue creep paper dangling at Glen's knee. "Oh!" She said as she leaned down and gripped it in her claw. She was about to give it a pull but looked at Glen uncertainly. "Are you sure about this?"

"Of course! What could go wrong?"

Draconia's eyes opened wide for a brief moment at the mere possibilities with Glen involved, but she gave the creep paper a hard tug and...

"WHOOOOOOAAAAAA!!!!!!!!"

And being a dragon, Draconia's strength was more than the average ghoul and she sent Glen spinning like a top all over the corridor, bouncing off of the walls and lockers with a clang, a bash, slam, and a crash!



The creep paper fell to the floor in tumbles, piling higher and higher until the final end came flittering down -- and Glen continued spinning, slowly winding down until he fell against a locker and wobbled on unsteady feet -- his red eyes still spinning within his noggin.

"D-don't worry!" Jewels squeaked. "We just want them to...to-to...well, see how it feels for us."

Her big, mole-brown eyes looked misty behind her thick cola-bottle glasses.

"Their ssschool paper website says they have a celebration party ssset up in their grimnasium for after the big game." Layla intoned in, looking up from her iCoffin. "If we could just get in there, past their ssschool sssecurity..."

She trailed off and slithered behind Nero, who was still packing up supplies in a duffel bag. He was including copious amounts of paint in the Monster High school colors of black, white and fuscia.

"If we could fool the werewolves, and get in, then we could make the changes and get out, no monster the wiser." Kai replied. "I wish I knew how they managed to get in here last night without their coach noticing."

"Yeah, werewolves aren't really known for being that subtle." Nero added as he zipped up the duffel bag. "Stealth isn't really their thing. In fact, I'd say it'd be smarter if we planned on bringing a distraction with us, too. Just in case."

"Hmm...." Kai mulled that over. Who could provide a good distraction?

Meanwhile, Jewels impulsively grabbed Arillena's hand and implored her.

"Willyouhelp us? Please? Pleaaaasssee?!"

Dashner made eye contact with Chase and nodded, pushing his claws into his pockets. "You two get the water supplies... I'll distract 'em."

He fluttered across the field to the boo, landing infront of him and crossed his arms. "So... How are you? Tell me about yourself! I want to know allllll about you," he said in a fake accent.

With the pep rally cancelled and the general mood of the school being one big downer, Ronan, Meme and Ascreama did the only thing any sensible monster could do. They decided to go get coffee and cake.

Yes, Ronan had decided he would even rather watch Ascreama slowly absorb baked goods than hang around the school while everyone was in such grim moods.

The three headed across the school grounds just as a minibus pulled in, full of loud, cheering werewolves.

The Luna High team poured from the vehicle, whooping and howling as they came charging straight toward the trio.

Ascreama bubbled uncertainly, Meme pulled a balloon sword from her belt and Ronan tried to usher both ghouls out of the way. The Luna high crew either hadn't seen them, or didn't care who they trampled on their way to "smash the nightmares" (as they were loudly chanting)

Narrowly avoiding being crushed beneath the booted feet of a whole graveball team, Ronan looked to Meme and Ascreama and smiled grimly.

Meme was muttering darkly under her breath, still brandishing her balloon sword threateningly.
"jerks... why I oughta..."

Ronan put a hand on her shoulder.

"The Nightmares will win." he reassured her.

"How do you know?" Ascreama asked with an anxious gurgle.

"Because they are angry, and anger is a powerful weapon."

"Uh huh." Meme tucked her sword away.

"Besides which, the good guys always win."

Meme chuckled and shook her head. Ronan may be clueless and pretty naive, but his unshakable faith was pretty adorable.

"Let's go, i'm staarrving" Ascreama had managed to find some left over candy in her bag to munch but it wasn't helping much.

"Yes.. of course." Ronan tried not to watch, but though it made him nauseous, there was something strangely hypnotic about Ascreama's blobby mode of digestion. It was like some sort of sweet filled lava lamp.

The three of them headed off to the nearest cafe.

Arillena seemed (tentatively) on board, and Nero and Jewels were talking to her about her glamour power. Layla was furriously studying the Luna High school layout from their website. Looking outside the large window that flooded the Art Class with natural light, Kai could see that the Luna High Graveball team had arrived to prepare for the big game.

The pieces were all falling into place...for their revenge, they only needed one more thing.

Luna High would be MOSTLY empty as they would all be coming to Monster High to watch the game. Mostly...but not completely. Hall Moanitors still patrolled their hallways, even after school. Arillena could probably fool their eyes, but if their enhanced werewolf noses or other senses found out what was happening...well, their whole plan could fall apart.

And that was where a distraction would come into play. But who...who could provide a distraction when needed?

"That lousy fairy boy!" A grumbling sound came from the hallway outside the art class. "It's HIS fault I have deadtention, not the other way around!...Although, hextreme hound wrestling WAS a lot of fun..."

Yes....YES....Kai knew who could provide the perfect distraction...

"PEGGY!" Kai called out in the hallway. At the exact same time he called out, down at the other end of the hallway, Harry Herne called out the exact same thing. Sort of.

"Not-centaur ghoul! Don't walk away from me! We aren't finished discussing, man! How can I properly realign my chakra if we don't finish talking out our differences!"

A large smile creeped over Kai's face. Oh yes...these two owed him, big time. It was THEIR fault he had deadtention on Saturday. And now, they'd make it up to him.

"In here, you two." Kai motioned to them both. "Important plans are afoot."

"oh my goth Dash, could you BE any more of a loser" Perry rolled his eyes at Dashner's ridiculous accent, moving to lead Shad away from the guy.

"So.. Shadeaux... you're a cruel dude right? "

Shad tried to edge away from the Peryton. Perry clamped his arm around the poor sack boo as he lead him away from a babbling Dashner.

"And you've got some pretty clawsome abilities yeah?"

Oh no... was this some fight between both winged boos over Shad's clearly irresistible good looks? Oh sure it was flattering, but also somewhat intimidating.

Oblivious to Shad's turmoil, Perry continued.

"So point is... we need you"

"I.. i.... it's not me it's..." Shadaeux began.

"What are you on about man?" Perry let him go and stared at him.

"As I just told that boo, it's not really my bag... get it?"

"I have no idea what you're on about."

"He thinks we have a crush on him!" Dashner called.

Perry slapped his own forehead. Was there a single monster in this stupid school who didn't think.. argh.

He sighed. "No.. just.. no." He looked Shad up and down critically. "you're not my type anyway. "

Chase snorted at the whole farce.

"You can do that whole teleporting thing right? So, Luna High needs to be taught a lesson and we think you're just the guy to help us teach it. Understand?"
