Draconia sat back down and Glen slumped against her shoulder and sighed defeatedly. "I'm sorry, Drakie. I guess I let you an' Chase down. I mean, I'm glad Rory won, but still it woulda been beastly if you and Chase had...""Are you gon' spend da rest of dis game moanin' about what coulda been?" Glen's Auntie Scarie said in her thick, Creole accent. "Just accept what happen' an' be happy. Your fiend is right dere beside you, enjoyin' de game, an' your manster is out showin' off..." Glen flinched involuntarily at the 'scolding' by his 'auntie' and he turned and looked toward the field. The players were ready to take the field and get the game underway. Chase trotted past, the usual smile on his face and seemingly unbothered by not having won the crown of King. Rather, he paused long enough to knuckle bump Rory and high-five Jewels. And he then turned to the stands and blew Glen a kiss, prompting Glen to turn the shade of a bright Cryptmas light. "An' I will be expectin' to be introduced to dis boo!" Glen nodded quickly. Glen's mom then added, "And Rory too, of course." Glen nodded faster, looking like the wings of a hummingbird.

Doriana and her little brother, Doran, walked accross the bleachers. She was looking for her friends. 'Are we there yettttttt???" Doran whined. He felt like a true boo being at a real game, so he walked with his chest out.
"Hmmm. Aha, there they are!" She said. She had changed out of her pink and black attire for something more casual, not intending to come to the game. She was in a yellow sundress, high sucks, and her beloved heels. She was also wearing some traditional Selkie jewlry.
They finally made it over to Motthew, Ronan, and Meme. At first they didn't see her, until she cleared her throat. "Um... Good evening. This is my little brother, Doran."
'Hi!" he waved cheerfully, a wide smile on his face.

"Do you sometimes miss it? Your old town that is... "
He looked to Meme and Ascreama's remark about organisation and smiled softly. "Are you going to keep up the lists?"
He looked up at Doriana.
"Oh... Doriana." He hadn't really expected her to be here. "I didn't believe you'd have time for football." He waved vaguely to her little brother, a little awkwardly given his knowledge of her family's attitudes.

"Fencing! Oohh, that sounds dangero-" Meme began, but recoiled in sudden horror at Doriana and her approaching younger sibling.
"Child.." she hissed and his behind Motthew.

Ronan looked utterly confused and stared at Meme. "Are you alright?" What an unexpected reaction. Now he really was baffled, and stared at the boy. He didn't look particularly intimidating.

"Um..." Doran hid behind his big sister. She ruffled his hair.
"It'll be fine." She sat down beside Motthew, and her brother beside her.

Motthew put his phone away and shrugged a shoulder at Ronan "Yeah, sometimes. But its alright. I might go back for Cryptmas."
"Um... Good evening. This is my little brother, Doran."
Motthew looked over at Doriana and Doran. He grinned, his sunglasses sliding down a little "Whoa. Hey!" he smiled and looked at Doran "Hey kid, killer to meet you." he said.
He blinked as Meme moved behind him and looked at her "What's up with you?" he asked.

Meme peaked out from behind Motthew's wings. She stared at the little monster with giant eyes and raised eyebrows.
"Yes, perfectly.." Her voice cracked as she maintained eye contact with the small selkie. "I'm perfectly fine thankyouverymuch."
She slowly crept backward to a safe distance, and brushed some glitter from her shoulders and fidgeted awkwardly.

Ronan looked to Ascreama for explanation.
"Meme?"
What in the seven seas was going on?

Motthew's antennae twitched curiously as he watched Meme. "Uh... Okay." he turned back ahead and looked at Doriana with a shrug.

"So...." Rory struggled to think of something Kingly to say to Jewels, since everyone else was pretty distracted either taking pictures of them or watching the players trot out onto the field. "I don't think we really have any classes together, do we?"
Rory thought through his schedule. Dead Languages, Physical Deaducation, Home Ick, Mad Science, the rest...nope. Jewels was not in a single one of his classes. For all of his intense interest in watching Monster High before coming here, he didn't know the Queen very well at all.
"What do you like to-"
"Hexcuse me! Iris Clops, Gory Gazette!" Iris made her way up the bleachers and showed off her press credentials. "Congratulations to the two of you for winning the polls! I'd like to ask you both a couple of questions, but first, can I get a picture of the Royal couple?"
Iris held up her camera as Rory's cheeks turned a bright, bright red. Scream Queen and King, sure....but a Royal COUPLE?!!!

And it was time!
The football teams from both Monster High and Granite City Central made their way out onto the fields as the students from both schools in their respective stands cheered them on.
The captains of both teams, Clawd Wolf and Rocco met in the center of the field, along with Coach Igor, as their teams lined up behind them in parallel lines, facing their opposition.
Coach Igor took out a coin and, as they were the home team, gave the opion of calling it to Granite City's captain, Rocco.
"Tails!" Rocco called and Coach Igor flipped the coin up into the air and caught it.
Coach Igor called, "Tails! Granite City begins this one!"
Some grumbling from the Monster High team was evident as they lined up and Granite Central got ready. Coach Igor watched closely and blew the whistle!
Gary runs up and delivers a swift kick, and clobbers the football clear up into the air and toward the Monster High team!
The much anticipated Tombcoming game was officially started!

"Should... we go after her?" He began as Meme shrank away, but then the game began and he found himself utterly distracted. Perhaps she'd come back once she'd sorted out whatever odd panic attack she seemed to be having? Ascreama would bring her out of it, she was much better at this kind of thing that he was.

"Uh.." Jewels also didn't much know what to say, and squeaked nervously when Iris approached.
"Oh... goodness.. no flash.. please... " She squeezed her eyes shut instinctively. Couple? Had she just said couple? "Oh.. no no.. he has a ghoulfriend!" She protested.

"No, I don't have a- I mean, not hexactly, I-" Rory fumbled over words as he was pulled to his feet.
*CLICK!* Iris snapped the picture.
"So you don't have a ghoulfriend?" Iris asked, scribbling notes down instantly. "And you don't have a boofriend, right Jewels? Sounds like you two are the perfect match! What a great Royal Couple!"
Iris checked the display on her camera and frowned. Jewels was shrouded in far too much shadow and Rory just looked like one gigantic flash.
"Oh well, I'll have Hellene touch that up in photochop. Sounds like I have all the info I need! I'll pull the rest up from your student bios. What a scoop! Tomorrow's special Saturday edition Tombcoming paper is going to look so great!"
Rory stood and watched as Iris dashed down the steps, still talking, her words fading away as she fled the game to write her article. His jaw was agape.
"What...just happened?"
