"Okay," JD repeated, letting out a sigh. "Truth is, I got scared. I werechickened out." Hellene scoffed. "YOU got scared? You're pretty much the most confident and egotistical manster in this whole school--" "No, see... that's the thing. I'm not." JD reached a claw to his face and removed his signature shades. His eyes, gray and hardened like stone, shimmered a bit as he looked up at Hellene. "I know I act like I'm all that when I'm at school, but when I go back to my doomitory... That's not how I see myself." Hellene's brow furrowed, not sure if she was believing what she was hearing. "I play a big act because I want to feel like I'm something, y'know what I mean? All my unlife my pop has told me how I'm such a grimbarrassment to him, how my boosic is tasteless and how I should be going after a REAL gore-eer... which is why I wanted to come to Monster High. I wanted to feel like I could be myself. But when I got here... I couldn't drop the act. It's like... it's like a suit of armor! I feel safe if monsters don't know the real me."
JD's hung his head, and Hellene crossed her arms.
"And what, hexactly, would be the real JD Leeds?" "My boosic! Well, that's the only part of me that I can really share with other monsters... but everything else? I dunno, yo. It's been so long I'm not sure... But Draconia! She... she makes me want to know that, y'know? Ack, I don't know... She's out of my league... Which is why I need YOU to help me!" JD grabbed Hellene by the shoulders. "Me, help you?! Why in the--" Hellene tried to protest.
"Yea, you can tell me what she likes! Help me pick out what to wear! Tell me how to win her over! I promise I won't bail on her again, I just can't do this without your help!! What'ya say? We got a deal?" JD flashed Hellene his signature grin; Hellene rolled her eyes, unconvinced. "Absolutely not. It's out of the question." She gathered her things and was about to go find Draconia. JD grabbed her by the arm and turned her back around to look him in the eye. "Please." He said simply.

Hellene plucked JD's claws off her and stared at him gimlet-eyed. This useless, arrogant bro had hurt her friend, however slightly, and all he could prattle on about what his boosic! As if she would believe that underneath it all, he was a decent sort! His kind were terminally self-centered and smooth talking and...and... Her heart fluttered back to a recent summer, full of boosic and promises and bling.
"Draconia is so far out of your league I'm surprised you can even see her, Julius Dominican Leedsworth..."
" That's not my..."
"SHHHH! I don't care," she snapped. "Your real name isn't long enough for how irritated I am with you!"
JD's mouth shut with an audible click of teeth.
" Y'esm."
"Draconia is one the sweetest ghouls in school, at least in the top 5, and she's got hexcellent taste and doesn't mind if you borrow her claw polish which is an admirable trait in a ghoulfriend and hard to find the two together at the same time. She is both literal and metaphorical gold which is almost as rare as the other two traits. Why she would even deign to consider to potentially go on even one fifteen minute date with you I have only the slightly foggiest of ideas and all of them end badly, especially since you couldn't feather up and talk to her yourself or at least show up for the first date."
Meekly, he hung is head. Hellene pinched the bridge of her nose. Bros! Why did it have to be bros? Boosical and charming and hexciting bros.
"Mind you, I have only the slightly foggiest idea myself of why in graveyards I am about to agree to help you, for you most certainly do not deserve it. But Draconia is my very best ghoul friend and she deserves a good date, especially since I suspect Glen has concocted another one of his insane schemes that will no doubt leave her hexausted and possibly wearing some questionable shoes for he has terrible taste in footwear."
JD's shoulders began to perk up and something that might have been a hopeful smile crossed his face.
" So...you'll help me?" he asked, trying to parse out of her tirade whether or not she was actually going to follow through with it. It was still pretty open to interpretation.
She sighed.
"IF you ask her out again, PROPERLY and like a real gentlemonster and ask her forgiveness and I will even help you figure out how to apologize and yes you WILL be purchasing chocolates so get your wallet ready, then yes I will help you."
She eyed him up and down.
"And yes, I will also attempt to pull from your closet a suitable outfit so that on this date she will have something approaching tasteful to look at. You will show her a good time and she can make a judgement on you herself, the most I can do is get you in the door."
JD nodded vigorously.
" Of course, I can do that, I just need, man, y'know, all the help I can get. I really like, yo, y'know..."
"SHHHH! I have already agreed to help you, do not keep using broisms. Repeat after me. 'The rain in S'pain falls mainly in the plains.'"
" Uh....you the rain, in, uh, S'pain totally falls in the plains."
"We'll work on it. Come on, I'll show you where Draconia's favorite chocolate covered lava peppers are sold."
She grabbed his arm and started to pull him towards the doors.

Meanwhile...in the Art Room...
Thanks to Jewels' knowledge of tunneling, she had an innate understanding of crowding in narrow spaces. It had been easy for her to find hexactly the right spot to poke in between Harry and Peggy, causing them both to slip right out of the doorframe they'd wedge themselves into. They tumbled right into the Art Room - unfortunately, right on top of Jewels.
"Squeak!"
"All right, everybluddy..." Kai marched in front of the crowd and surveyed his crew.
Nero, the muscle.
Jewels, the coordinator.
Layla, the planner.
Arillena, the infiltrator.
Harry and Peggy, the distraction.
It was a good team.
"Wait...why are we here again?" Harry asked, once he'd untangled himself from Peggy's tail. "I should be back in the Grimnasium, reminding monsters to give a hoot and recycle."
"And he should be far, FAR away from me." Peggy added in. She shook her mane defiantly.
"Oh no. You two got me deadtention. You're coming with us."
"I didn't get us deadtention, SHE did!" Harry insisted.
"No, it was HIS fault, his dog-things tackled me!" Peggy protested. Kai's tail rattled warningly.
"It's both your fault. End of story." Kai replied, and before either of them could rebut, he continued on. "And that's besides the point right now. Luna High's graveball team thought they could just stomp all over our art - in some places, literally - just because we're the art kids. Because we're not tough. Because we wouldn't stand up for ourselves. They performed the greatest crime imaginable - they defaced ART!"
"That's the greatest crime imaginable?" Harry asked. "Not the enslavement of goblins?"
"Greatest. Crime. Imaginable." Kai repeated, not letting himself be derailed. "Luna High really put one over on us. And in the interest...of ZEN, I suppose...we need to rebalance the scales."
"I-I-I know a shortcut underground to get to Luna High through one of the lower sections of the catacombs." Jewels took over, wiping her glasses. "And Nero has a bunch of our art supplies. We're going to head over there and...well...show them what Monster High's artists are made of!"
"It's not without risssks..." Layla added in. "Their hall moan-itors are notorious for having bites worse than their barks. And there may be other obstacles we don't know about yet."
"We can handle them." Nero replied, flexing a little bit. "Monster High doesn't have any quitters!'
"It doesn't? I guess that means we have to go with, then, doesn't it?" Peggy, starting to see a chance for some HEXTREME action in this caper, cracked her knuckles. "This could actually be kind of fun!"
"If Not-Centaur-Ghoul is going, then I'm going to have to go to help offset all of her bad karma, man." Harry replied. "Besides, even though I don't condone competitive sports because of all the bad feelings they dredge up, just letting Luna High get away with destroying a rally of togetherness and harmoany!"
"Then...I think we're ready...aren't we?" Arillena piped in. She seemed flushed in the cheeks. Kai knew how she felt.
"We are. Luna High's graveball team just arrived here, so now is the perfect time to strike. Are you all ready?" Kai put his claw out in the center of the room. One by one, each of the students put a claw on top of his.
"M-O-N-S-T-E-R! MONSTERS, MONSTERS, YES WE ARE!"
They threw their claws in the air, and everyone turned to Jewels. She smiled, a grin that was half-sheepish, half sneaky.
"Follow me."

Ari felt a rush of excitement and nervousness flow through her like lightning as she rose to follow her new friends- granted she didn't actually know a few of their names yet... - But that didn't put her down. A tiny voice in her mind sighed.
What have we gotten our self into..

Perry Hartley "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?"
He blinked a bit, then frowned. Not his type? Hey what was wrong with Shad?
Never mind. Shad shook it off and looked between the three until his unseen eyes settled on Perry and he shrugged, "I guess you c-c-ould call it teleportation. More like shadow walking. It's what you might call a Sackman's bag. Bag ... get it?" He gave Perry a little nudge at his joke. "Nothing, eh? Tough room."
Sha reached up to remove his beret and give his scalp an idle scratch and he plopped it back on to say, "I mean, I can only do the whole... t-t-teleportation deal through the shades, er, shadows, y'dig? W-why do you...?""Because, my fidgety little shadow dude..." Chase trotted up to join Perry and Dashner and hopefully salvage this little 'sting' operation. "The Luna High losers will be arriving here any time to go over their own practice for the game tonight." Chase wrapped a beefy arm around Shad's shoulder and drew the boo in with an audible 'eep. "And we need a way 'in' without the coach or Clawd finding out, y'know? Like... whooooaaa!!!"Shad looked back and forth between the three boos. Had he understood them correctly? If he had, it sounded, as his boo Rory might would say, ''dangerous'. That alone set off the thunderstorm in his belly.
But ... there was also something else! Something, dare he think it? Enticing? He was a Graveball fan, and what the Luna-ticks did was totally not what a cool werecat, er, wolf, should do. Plus, there was that thing about his watching that Shrlock Gnome scarathon on the toob the previous evening..."You mean you three werecats wanna..." Shad started to say and Chase, Dashner and Perry nodded."And you want me to help you...?" And again, he is met with three consecutive nods of the noggins. Shad started to smile and nod, snapping his fingers.
"Way wiggy! Those Luna Highs gotta have karma rebounded! The karma moan, hasta be answered. The KARMA! Making my galaxy blow their jets like that. I could make a totally trippy poem out of this hexperience...""So you're in?"Shad reached behind him and whipped out his shadow blankey, er, blanket, and twirled it around him in dramatic fashion until it more so resembled an old-world cloak over the lower half of his face."Just call me...Moand. James Moand!" Shad shifted away towards the water stand, humming the Grimmsion Impossible theme and Chase looked at the other two with an arched brow."Yeeeeah! This is going to get really old, really fast."

"Come on. We don't have long to pull this off. " Perry was already mentally ticking off a checklist.
"We got everything we need?"
Dashner held up a sack. "yep".
"Clawsome. Let's go teach those werewolves a lesson!"

Shad lead the three graveballers across the clawdatorium to a nice shadowy area.
"Hang on tight." Shad didn't wait for the three boos to be ready, reaching out and pulling Perry and Chase closer before reaching out a hand for Dashner too.
Immediately they were falling through shadow, and with a loud clatter and bang all four boos fell gracelessly to the floor of a dark and VERY cramped closet.
... (to Lunar High!)

Shadeaux D Gloom Shad was completely entangled in his blankey, er, blanket, on the ground, crushed beneath the weight of Perry, Dash and Chase, all who when they tumbled out of the closet, ended up on a 'dog pile' on the poor Sackboo who was nowhere near their respective size.
The kids in the Art Class and their cohorts watched in stunned silence as Chase, Dashner and Perry scrambled up off of Shad who gasped in several deep breaths, then realized his arms were trapped in his own shadows, and his foot..."Aw moan! These buckets are like the bane of a Sackboos hexistence! The BANE!"Shad struggled to sit up and with a bit of an assist from Chase, he got to his feet and he started to kick his foot out, trying to dislodge the bucket! With each passing attempt (and failure), Shad grew more and more frantic, spinning in circles until one mighty (!?) kick later, the pail went flying off, causing Layla, Kai and Ari to diive for cover and a clang was heard as the pail met the back of Nero's noggin!
Shad finished his struggles, throwing the blankey -- BLANKET -- from his arms and it fell to the ground. Shad quickly inspected himself and nodded to his spy bros."There! That's better..."But the moment he took his first step forward, Shad tripped and grabbed onto the first thing he could grab -- Dashner's arm... and as Dash fell, he grabbed Chase who grabbed Perry and they fell down onto the inky blanket...
**SPLASH!!!**

The water exploded upwards as the three boos, Chase, Dashner and Shadeaux, surfaced from the depths of the Monster High pool! "Help! help! I'm drowning!" Shad splashed and yelped in fear. "I'm too groovy to undie!""Yo! Shadow dude!" Chase called out as he wrung out his Graveball jersey in his hands. "You're in the shallow end!"Shad's mad splashing continued for about a second longer until Chase's words registered and he paused in his thrashing, and looked around him, neck deep. Slowly he stood up and sure enough, the water was only up to his waist. he calmly cleared his throat and shifted his askew shades back over his eyes, trying to be 'kewl' again.
Satisfied that 'emergency' was over, Chase calmly turned towards Dashner and jumped on him..."WATER POLO!"

Dashner let out a screech and laughed, being pulled under by Chase. He got out of Chase's grip and surfaced, spitting out water and grinned evilly, running his claws through his wet fauxhawk. He laughed and moved across to Shad and he started splashing him, closing his eyes tight and holding his head away from the splashing water.

Meanwhile....
Monster High's pool was actually located on the other side of the two Graveball locker dooms...meaning Shad had gotten them closer to their goal than he'd thought. What he didn't know, though, was that lurking inside of the guest team locker doom were some very tough customers...
"Hey, yo." Scott Howl, fullback, chewed on a toothpick as the Luna High Wolfpack worked on unpacking their things and putting them into their respective lockers. "I'm tellin' you, chico. Dis don't seem fright."
He was speaking to the team Quarterback, Kevin Gnash, who whipped his fabulous long, silky hair back and looked at his teammate.
"Whaddaya mean? The prank worked! Did you see all those Monster High kids on our way in? They're already totally defeated! It's TOO SWEEEEEEEET!" He howled in glee. "And the beast part? No one'll ever pin it on us!"
The two Wolfpack members gave each other their secret, Graveball team handshake and went back to unpacking, growl-like laughter filling the locker doom.

Dashner Hawke Dashner let out a screech and laughed, being pulled under by Chase. He got out of Chase's grip and surfaced, spitting out water and grinned evilly, running his claws through his wet fauxhawk. He laughed and moved across to Shad and he started splashing him, closing his eyes tight and holding his head away from the splashing water.
Hey, it's Shad! Enuff said!
Chase draped one water logged arm around Dashner's shoulder, then used his free hand to YOINK Shad up from the water, and into the air as a matter of fact, before setting him back down in the shallow end."Okay, so here's the plan!" Chase conferred in a hushed whisper. Hey! You never knew when and where a member of the MH faculty might b lurking by. "Shad, our favorite new shadow-bro, I need you to sneak into the ghoul's locker room...""Wha-wha-what!?" Shad stammered."Er, Dash, you better go with. Grab every bottle of Scair hair remover you can find." Chase gave his two bluddies a wicked little grin. "Then we're going to sneak into the Luna High locker room and switch it out with their shamboo. Just in time for their pre-game shower."Chase waggled his eyebrows. Oh imagine the boomiliation of bald werewolves on the field!

The ghoul's lockerroom..."Helloooooo?" The whisper came from a shadow in the corner. "Anybluddy there?"When no answer came forth, the shadow hexpanded and Shadeaux's head peeped out, his claws covering his eyes so as to not accidentally see something he better not. He then slid his fingers open just a tad to 'look' and saw the coast was clear.
Shad skidaddled out of the shadow as quickly as he could while Dashner leaned out of Shad's 'shadoor' and caught the bottles of 'Scair' that seemed to be plentiful in the supply locker. Then there came the sound of girlish giggling from outside of the door and Dash quickly grabbed Shad by the arm and pulled him back into the shadow and it winked out of hexistence just in time for the Monster High fearleading squad to enter...********************* The 'away team's locker room...Another 'shadoor' opened just enough in the lockerroom for Shad's claws to reach out and snatch up all of the shamboo belonging to the Luna High graveball players, and then replace them with the afore,entioned bottles of Scair...
Shad reeled back and the shadow vanished just as the Luna High players returned from their pre-game warm ups on the Monster High field, ready to shower and prepare for the big game!

One half-hour till game time...
In the Luna High locker room, Kevin Gnash and Scott Howl hopped out of the showers after warmups, ready to gear up and tear the Monster High Nightmares a new word-hole.
"Hey, yo. I know that some werewolves shed a lot, but the drains are totally clogged. This school must have some real cut-rate plumbing." Scott Howl, still chewing on a toothpick, made an observation as he rubbed his head with a towel. His buddy, Kevin Gnash, pulled out a brush to prepare to give his gore-geous, luxurious man-mane 100 brushstrokes before putting on his helmet.
"Yeah, it just figures that this school would be-AAAAAAHHHHH!" Kevin suddenly cut off, staring at his brush and screaming. Half of his uhh-mazing mane was in the brush bristles, and no longer on his head.
"MY GLORIOUS HAAAAIIIIIRRRR!" He cried, the anguish turning into a howl at the end. Several other werewolves, suddenly realizing what was happening to their hair, joined him in the howl.
Gnash growled. Yeah, Monster High had gotten one up on them. Good thing werewolf fur grew back fast, but still, tonight they'd be the baldest team on the field.
"Those Monster High punks think they got prank one up on us? No chance! They're going to learn that when you cross the Wolfpack, it'll leave you BLUE."
Gnash turned to Scott Howl, who took the towel off his head and revealed that he too, was completely bald. Howl opened up his locker, where there were two Luna High-blue buckets of paint.
"Good thing we decided to bring these along then, eh, ese?" Howl asked. "Now let's show those Monster High kids just how stealth the Wolfpack can be."
