"Quick amigo!"
Scott Howl urged his Luna High compatriot and beast friend, Kevin Gnash, as the impossibly tall werewolf student busied himself in the shower stall of the Monster High team locker room. Scott had his helmet draped over his head, as did Gnash, to prevent anyone from seeing their bald heads before they had to.
Howl leaned out of the locker room door where his and Gnash's little ankle biter fiend, Hexx Pac, stood watch, claws gripping a window in the hall and looking up over the window sill to the field. Hexx gave Howl a signal and Scott ducked back in.
"They're coming! Are you done!?"
"Finished!" Gnash said as he quickly screwed the top back onto the last of the shower heads. He grabbed the two buckets and raced out into the hall, meeting Howl and Hexx, trying to appear casual as the Monster High Nightmares entered their locker room from the field.
Gnash casually looked at his watch, then their werewolf hearing allowed them to hear the showers start...
Howl counted off his claws, "Three... two ... one..."
And the Monster High locker room erupted in bedlam and chaos with shouts of surprise and anger! Moments later and the door swings open and various members of the Nightmares came stumbling out, draped in towels and covered from head to toes/hooves in blue paint!
"Gee boos!" Gnash crossed his arms. "Why so blue?"

A certain familiar face on the Graveball team, with a head that tended to burst into flame whenever hexcited, moseyed from out of the locker room of the Monster High team, dressed as a chef -- and fresh blue skin thanks to a certain Luna High prank.
The cart had on it a covered tray, and as Heath pulled up to the locker room for Luna High and knocked on the door. After a moment, the door opened and the ankle biter Hexx Pac, peeked out and looked up at the visitor with a sneer.
"Yeah!? What do you want!?"
"Zee tradeetional znacks for ze visitng team, mysewer."
"Oh yeah? Gimme!"
Hexx Pac snatched the cart from Heath's grip and spun it around, wheeling it into the locker room, slamming the door shut behind him -- never noticing the chef had blue skin.
"Who was it?" Asked Kevin Gnash as his little fiend wheeled the cart into the middle of the Graveball team gathering.
Hexx Pac answered, "Snacks for us from the school. Boy will they feel dumb giving us this after we beat them tonight!"
Hexx Pac whipped the cover off of the tray to reveal... rotten scargoyle eggs with firecrackers burning down to the tip of the fuses...!
POW!POW!POW!
SPLAT!!!
"GROOOOOSSSSSS!!!"
Outside in the hallway, Heath's chef hat ignites as he falls back laughing at the howls of misery from inside of the locker room!

The door to the entrance of the Catacombs opened slightly ajar with that all-too familiar ominous creaking typical of scary places, y'know?
"Coast clear?"
Came the whisper behind Layla and she stuck her head out and glanced to and fro. "Looksss to be." Layla answered. "And just in time for usss to make the game, too!"
She pushed the door open all the way so that she and her school chums, and the two Luna High students could step out safely into the hall.
"You can go grab some seats for the game." Nero smirked, then jetted his thumbs back towards Alhex and Fleanu. "My two newest bros and I are going to get the plans started for the halftime show!"
"And I'll contact Glen and Dash!" Kai piped up, promptly sending a chill down Nero's spine. He was about to say something to try and distract Kai away from doing just that when heavy footfalls and loud grumbling turned their heads and they spotted the VERY bald Luna High Graveball team passing them by en route to the Graveball field. A trail of noxious fumes followed them, prompting Layla, Kai, Nero, Ari, Harry, Alhex and Fleanu to cover their noses.
"Oh gag me, my main dude mansters!" Fleanu gasped. "If that's what they smell like before the game..."
"What do you suppose happened to...?" Kai started to ask aloud when more noise came from the opposite hall and they turned their heads to spot the Monster High team walking the same path toward the field, each team member completely blue.
The kids who invaded Luna High's eyes simply turned casually to watch their home team pass them by casually...
"Heya Kai!"
"Layla."
"Nero..."
"Dude!" Chase beamed despite his condition and gave Kai a quick one-arm hug before walking off. "Wish us luck!"
They continued to watch until their Graveball team vanished to the outside, and Kai looked at the paint smeared on his shoulders where Chase grasped him.

Nero lead Alhex and Fleanu back towards the boosic room to grab some equipment. His mind was racing furiously, trying to think of a way to keep the band from getting back together.
Nero loved his bros, they were great monsters, each with his own boonique qualities that made him a good friend. What they were not, however, was great musicians. Their individual musical styles did not...um...blend harmoniously.
Maybe their instruments didn't have to be plugged in? Maybe they could play a Journ-EEK! song, those only had, like, two notes anyway. Maybe...
"Oh, righteous! This is a totally hexceptional set up you have here in the halls of Monster High," Alhex said as they walked into the boosic store room.
"A most brodacious series of instruments, although I confess, bro, I am disappointed to see only single necked guitars," added Fleanu, shaking his head at the school's meager but high quality supply of electric instruments.
"Yeah, the school marching band mostly workds on stuff like trumpets and clarinets. I've been petitioning the Headless Headmistress for more, but you know. They like math books better. We do have a recording booth!"
"Whoa! That is a most righteous mission," grinned Alhex.
"And way easier than world peace," Fleanu chimed in sheepishly.
From somewhere, Alhex pulled out a rolled of duct tape.
"It seems, friends, that we are going to have to improvise ourselves a slightly more outrageous set up."
With any luck, there wouldn't be an instruments left for the rest of the band!

5 minutes till Kickoff....
Tensions were running high in the packed-to-the-gills (literally!) stadium of Monster High. The student bodies were in a fervor as they all filed into the bleachers. Only one thing was on anymonster's mind - victory over Luna High!
On the opposite side of the stadium, the Luna High fans were filing in as well. Suspiciously absent was the entire Volleyhowl team. Growls and glowing-eyed looks were cast across the field at Monster High. It was fortunate that there wasn't a full moon outside...

In line to get into the stadium, the illustrious, famous, dazzling-and-altogether-best-thing-ever, Nefera DeNile opened up her compact to ensure that her flawless complexion was in fact still as flawless and perfect as ever.
Normally, the eldest daughter, crown princess and heir to the DeNile throne would not deign to appear at a lowly high school graveball game, especially not one where she would have to suffer through her sister Cleo's terrible mangling of the Monster High Fear Squad's management.
But still, despite all of that, Monster High was Nefera's alma mater, and the rumors she had heard about Luna High's dastardly prank at the afternoon's pep rally made her royal blood boil. When SHE had been in high school and SHE had been the head of the Fear Squad, Monster High would have gotten to Luna High and defaced their grimnasium first!
"Hm...maybe just a touch more bronzer on my perfect nose..." Nefera mused to herself as she glanced her lovelyness in her compact mirror. Really, this was the best possible idea in the world. Why, one glance into the bleachers by the Monster High graveball team, and they would be so inspired by her beauty that there was no way Monster High could lose!
Just looking at her reflection...Her perfect nose...smoky eyes...ketchup-red hair, cracked face and panicked expression-
"AUGH!" Nefera dropped the compact just as Rory Bludworth fell out of it. His face was covered in giant, tangerine-orange, sparkly-swamp-scented lip prints.
"AUGH!" Rory responded in kind. "Hexcuse me! Sorry! Thank you! Sorry again!"
And with that, he boosted himself to his feet and skittered away into the crowd.
Nefera huffed. How RUDE! She picked up her compact. For a moment, she toyed with opening it again and checking to see if that dreadful boy's incursion had disturbed her perfection at all, but in another moment she changed her mind and snapped the compact shut.
No pointing in risking letting whatever left THOSE lip-prints on him falling out of the compact, too...

"Drakie! Hellene! Over here!"
As they maneuvered their way into the stands of the Monster High side of the Graveball field, Draconia and Hellene heard their names being called, and saw that all-too familiar green shape that was their beastie, Glen, jumping up and down and waving his arms about to attract their attentions. He was awfully hexcited about this championship game, looking forward to seeing his boofriend Chase and beast pal Manny bring home the Graveball trophy.
(Of course, Glen acts this hexcited whenever the creepateria serves Mystery Meatloaf.)
Of course Glen saved his two beast ghouls a couple of seats, but as they made their way past several students and their family members, they noticed that Glen wasn't seated alone. Beside him was another Monster High student that both ghouls knew. Tall and lanky, he had a soft, cherubic face that was almost androgynous in appearance, so pretty one would think he was a ghoul but most definitely was a boo. He had platinum curls that stretched below his shoulders, his gray eyes watched the two approaching ghouls through a pair of thin rimmed glasses, and Glen patted the empty seat beside him.
"Hellene." Glen smiled, making certain that Draconia knew the empty seat beside the other boo was for her and her alone.
After the two ghouls took their seats, Glen said, "Ghouls, you remember Elijah? Drakie, I couldn't decide which boo should get to go on our double tomorrow night so I drew slots and guess who won!" He smiled, holding his hands out towards Elijah Batory.

Hellene grinned wickedly and hovered a foot above the bleacher. She clutched her camera gleefully in her talons.
"You would not believe these photos that I've been getting of the Luna High team, I don't know what happened to them or if they just have the worse pre-game ritual of all time but they smell super terrible and they're all covered in paint and I think I saw one or two of them with pies on their heads! These photos are for the front page of the Gory Gazette for sure!"
She bobbed excitedly as she spoke and Glen tried to follow her movements with his head. He rocked backwards, dizzy and Draconia caught him before he could fall over.
Hellene finally settled down into her seat, but her wings were still flapping occasionally as she giggled.

"Oh, you...decided for me...." Draconia muttered a bit at Glen as she took her seat. "That's...nice..."
Draconia looked around the crowd that was rapidly filling up the creature bleachers. She sighed. She would have to talk to Glen later about this speed dating plan of his. She had misgivings - especially if Glen was of a mind to dictate who she dated and when. It had seemed like a rather funny idea at the start, but now...
Draconia shook her head and decided to change the subject.
"Is it just me or...is the entire Monster High team looking rather, er, blue?"

"Whew. I can't believe we pulled that off!" Kai was speaking to what was left of the group of Luna High infiltrators. Peggy Springwell, Harry Herne and Arillena FaeDathanna were all that remained of their group after everyone else had lurked or slithered off. "I...want to thank you guys..." Kai blushed a darker gray. He was seeing things clearer now."You guys risked getting into big trouble by coming with to Luna High. And I realize now that maybe going all 'eye for an eye' wasn't really all that brilliant an idea in the first place. Who knows what would have happened if those two werewolves hadn't beaten us to painting their own grimnasium?" For the briefest of moments, Kai imagined the alternative - the 'Let it Bro' singing janitor catching them in the act of spray painting...the Volleyhowl team circling around them, all fang-ful pointy smiles and growls, the disapproving stares of the Luna High Headmaster and the Monster High Headmistress....the groundings...so, so many groundings..."Anyways...thanks again." Kai offered a claw to shake to the others. They were brand new students, and he hoped they didn't think that every day at Monster High was like this. Only some of the days were.
Maybe half. Or a little more than that."So...you guys wanna go see the game?"

" Boy, you kids today, you're the worst at relationships, you know that?! You gotta show up there and show her what she's missing! Show her that you're a tough, no-nonsense, brute of a manster! Have ghouls hanging off your arms! Drip confidence and machismo!"
"You get your shiny butt to that game, you pick the first ghoul on your right, and you plant a big wet one on that new ghoul!"
"-a big wet one on that new ghoul!"
"new ghoul..."
"new ghoul..."
Hagetha Mistie's advice echoed around in Rory Bludworth's head. Not because it was GOOD advice, but because the constant pounding of her lips when she'd insisted he 'practice' had drilled her words into his head as surely as a jackhammer drilled through asphalt.
Stunned, awash in screamage hormones and bad advice, Rory picked his way through the crowd, looking at a sea of the backs of ghouls' heads.
Pick a new ghoul? Any ghoul? And just plant a kiss on her?
Rory felt dizzy. Maybe the hairline cracks on his face had finally reached to his brain.
"Hey, watch it!" An icy ghoul snapped at Rory as he bumped into her shoulder.
"S-sorry!" Rory stammered as he nearly slipped down a couple of steps. Under the bright lights of the stadium, Rory was a bit dazzled and he didn't see anymonster he instantly recognized.
Finally, Rory saw something that might be his chance - a single, dark-haired ghoul sitting in a row with a large empty spot next to her.
Maybe this was Rory's chance. Maybe this was how he shook off the blues of his screwing up so badly this afternoon. Maybe this ghoul was the turning point in his un-life, just like Hagetha had said!
(Of course, maybe if Rory was thinking straight he'd realize he was taking advice from Hagetha Mistie, the same witch who'd imprisoned half the student bodies earlier in the school year with the intent of brainwashing them into being a traveling circus, but Rory wasn't thinking straight.)
"Hey, bootiful..." Rory croaked out, his voice cracking into three different octaves. "Is this seat taken? Why don't I just-"
Rory puckered up his lips. The ghoul turned to face him. Then the boo sitting next to the ghoul with his arms around her became visible.
"Hey!" Invisi Billy shouted at Rory. "What the heck do you think you're doing?!"
"Augh!" Rory nearly jumped out of his shoes. Scarah Screams and Invisi Billy! The ghoul with the invisible boofriend! "I'm- I'm- I'm-"
All of the thoughts in Rory's head circled around like they were swirling the drain. This was, hands-down, the most embarrassing, un-cool thing that could possibly -
"Now why in the world are you thinkin' about scoopin' me up and kissin' me?!" Scarah demanded to know.
Oh, right....Scarah Screams had ESP.
Rory nearly burst into a billion pieces right on the spot out of embarrassment.
"He's WHAT?!" Billy shouted, incredulously. Rory took off like a shot through the crowd. Scarah couldn't help but giggle.
"Calm down, boyoo." She soothed her boofriend. "No harm done. Besides, if the rumours are true, he's probably not thinkin' too clearly anyways."
"...okay, if you say so." Billy relented, and the two sat back down. Unfortunately for Rory, he was already too far away to see things settle down. He was underneath the bleachers, crunched in a corner, determined to stick there until the graveball game was good and over.

Not that everything was over the anxiety that had been building in Arillena's chest had melted into explosions of cheer and relief. Her eyes sparkled as Kai spoke. Finally she couldn't hold it in any more and all of the excitement from her first sorta-kinda adventure ever burst from her. The Changling let out a "SQUEE!" and pulled the other three into a group hug. "That was so much fun I can't believe it!" She giggled as she squeezed her new friends tightly. Her often dormant hyper side had awoken. Her wyldfae companion -back in dragonfly form- hovered above them. Never before had the Fae girl been so happy. She momentarily forgot everything that had happened earlier that day and focused on possibly crushing her friends-- oh, oops. Releasing them she spun around and starting skipping to the Grave ball field- Her hype diminished fast at the realization of- WOW that's a lot of people... The dragon fly shook his head at her and landed down near a set of bleachers. He morphed into a white rabbit form and looked around for a place to chill. ? Something reflective caught his attention. As Ari stared in wonder and confusion at the games chaos, the rabbit hopped quietly towards the source of the reflection. "Wow... Huh- Damyn? What are you doing?" The rabbit stopped in front of the huddled up glass figure. "How are you holding up?"

"PENALTY ON LUNA HIGH!"The game was only just started and already intense with the dislike between the two rival schools!
The score was at 3-0 in Luna High's favor, but a foul was called against the Luna High captain Gnash and one of his cronies, Ruff Bagwell, for unnecessary roughness -- gang tackling Heath Burns en masse after Heath had long since passed the ball to Clawd Wolf.
Chase turned to look into the stands and saw that familiar green boofriend of his and winked. Glen must have spotted it as his cheeks turned to the shade of a glowing Cryptmas light and he turned to Draconia."They do look a little technicolor, don't they? Maybe it's a team unity thing." The officials signaled for the game to continue on the field and as Clawd took a breather on the bench, Andy Beast ran in and took his position between Manny Taur and Chase Q. The whistle was blown and the graveball tossed back into Andy's waiting claws.
Chase and Manny made a head on collision with Gnash and Scott Howl as Andy threw the ball straight to Dashner Hawke's waiting claws!

Arillena The rabbit stopped in front of the huddled up glass figure. "How are you holding up?" The appearance of a tiny talking bunny managed to distract Rory from peering out between the feet of whomever was sitting above him on the bleachers."Oh!" Rory didn't know any talking rabbits personally, but one of the advantages of being a mirror witch was the ability to notice a disguise when he saw one. The voice cued Rory in that it was Damyn, Arillena's pet/guardian/familiar. "You mean from lunchtime, don't you. You, uh...didn't happen to see what just..."Rory trailed off as the bunny tilted his head at the witch. Rory shrugged and rubbed the back of his head."I guess you didn't! Well, that's good, at least somemonsters didn't see me be a total jerk." Rory slumped down onto the grass underneath the bleachers. "I'd join the school invisibility club to dissappear, except Invisi Billy's the club president, and I think right now he'd prefer I just walk off a cliff instead."He tucked his knees up to his chin and addressed the little rabbit. "I screwed up today, Damyn. Really bad. It's my fault I lost the ghoul I love, and I'd bet my friends think I'm a screw-up, too. I don't know what to do. Maybe I should go back to being tomb-schooled by my mother."

Damyn listened quietly the Mirror Witch's lament. "Your fault, huh?" He repeated for confirmation. "Exactly what do you think you did?""I- I don't know! But It must have been something bad to have her be THAT angry with me."The rabbit blinked at him and came to the conclusion that Rory hadn't realized what Marceline was upset about. His back foot reach up and scratched his long fluffy ears as he stalled with silence. Helping people was more an Arillena thing to attempt now that she had friends but... He glanced back to where he left the Changling. The last thing they need now was one more misunderstanding to add to the fire. "Well I can tell you this," The rabbit spoke with a soft chuckle. "Disappearing won't fix the issue. In fact doing that might make things worse. Uh..." He was trying, okay? The Wyldfae's people skills were almost as bad as Ari's but without the panic. "You know what- I'm really bad at this. I can tell you why she was so ticked off. It might help you figure things out.""You know what I did?""No... But I have a good idea of what had happened." The rabbit nodded his head towards the side of the bleachers. "Follow me if you want." Then he started hopping back towards where Arillena had been. ~ Meanwhile Arillena had doubled back to where the rabbit had vanished. "Now where did he get off to- Oh There you are~" As the Game went on Ari figure out how to single out sounds so the noise wouldn't bother her. "What on earth are you doing under-..." That's when she noticed Rory and all of the events that had occurred earlier resurfaced in her mind. Her eyes widened and she covered her mouth. "Oh my goodness- Rory, I'm so Sorry! I Didn't mean for that to happen... If I had realized it earlier I would have said something but I didn't and now... Oh It's all my fault- I- I should have- I shouldn't have... Maybe I should talk to her..." "What did I tell ya. Some kind of Big misunderstanding."
