"Guys! Guys! Guys! We have to tell you something huge!" Frankie exclaimed as we ran outside to see the other monster gathered around something.

"Not now Frankie" Cleo said curtly.

"The normies came back!" Gil seethed.

"Thats the best they can do?" said Heath picking up a pumpkin only to discover that there was a string on it "Hey!"

"Whoa! Look out!" someone yelled.

Over the top of the school came pumpkins, they smashed all over the monsters. One flew straight towards Heath but Abbey jumped in front of him and made a wall of ice.

"Thanks Abbey" Heath grumbled.

"Do not mention it" Abbey said.

Another one of the pumpkins smashed all over Cleo.

"Again!?!" she screeched "Those clothes-ruining animals!"

"Hey. Heath just got saved by a girl!" Manny laughed.

Headmistress Bloodgoods voice came over the speaker "Attention, students, attention! Will everyone please go to the Clawditorium in five minutes for an emergency assembly."

As we started to walk over to the Clawditorium we passed Holt clutching his phone "Come on, come on, baby, don't go out on me like this! I need my tunes to be me!" He yelled at his phone as it shut down, in a burst of flames, Jackson was back.

"No! No! No!" Jackson said and ran off.

"Jackson! Slow down!" l yelled after him.

"Sorry Darcy. I need to charge my iCoffin! Its not safe to be a... Uh... Me right now" and he ran off.

We walked into the Clawditorium and sat down
"Settle down, please. It is now clear that the situation with the normies in the next town has become much worse. Until Halloween is over, when you are outside of Monster High, please disguise yourselves, hide. Do not let anyone know you are a monster." Headmistress Bloodgood told us.

"Wait! Hide who we are? Headmistress Bloodgood, this goes against everything we've ever been taught at Monster High. We shouldn't be embarrassed of our differences. We should be proud!" Frankie jumped up.

"She's right!" one of the vampires jumped up.

"And we used to be proud! Look! No one knows this, but Halloween used to be for monsters. We were celebrated and admired, not chased and ridiculed. So l say it's time we stop being afraid and take back our holiday! For all monsters!" Frankie continued.

"Lets take back Halloween!" Manny growled "by force!"

"Yeah, we're with you!"

"No l didn't mean.... Guys? Guys?" But it was too late, everyone was getting up.

" Come on! This way!" someone yelled and held up a red flag that Manny tried to ram.

"What have l done?" Frankie muttered.

The De Nile Carriage

Ptolemy XII De Nile was sitting on his throne opposite Nefera and Cleo.

"Needless to say, everyone's got their bandages in a bunch. I mean, who do those normies think they are?" Cleo said while picking her nails.

"And what, may l inquire are you going to do about it, young lady?" asked the foreboding Pharaoh.

"Well, there's talk of getting them back" Cleo said uncertainty.

"Talk? Oh, Cleo. Talk is like the desert sands. It is worth nothing, and changes direction with the four winds." he said accentuating his words with his hand.

"That's so true, Daddy! Of course, if l were still in school, l wouldn't let them get away with it. But we can't all be me." Nefera smirked at Cleo.

"Ugh" Cleo rolled her eyes.

"Cleo. You're a De Nile. You have royal blood coursing through your veins. I was a Pharaoh, as was my father, as was his father before..."

"What he's trying to say" Nefera butted in " is when are you going to grow up?"

"Whats that supposed to mean?" Cleo growled.

"Uh, like, for instance, when are you gonna dump that loser of a boyfriend?" Nefera drawled.

"Deuce is not a loser!" Cleo yelled.

"Daddy says he's a slacker! I say he needs a hair cut and he says 'dude', like, every other word!" Nefera yelled back.

"Girls, please! Nefera's correct. You belong with someone from royal lines, someone who doesn't hold you back." Mr De Nile said " Goodbye, you don't want to be late for class" and Cleo started to get out.

"Cleo. When times are tough, monsters need a leader. Can you be that leader? Can you make me proud?"

Cleo hesitated and walked out.

"Are you sure she's not adopted, Daddy?" Nefera questioned.

" Nefera!"

Thank you to whoever told me Cleo's father's name, but I, ever the massive history nerd, decided to change Cleo's father's name.

If you know anything about history, you may know that Cleopatra's father was Ptolemy XII . So yeah, there you go...
