[bassy music playing]
[Draculaura] They say during high school
you learn a lot about yourself.
And I think that's true.
Like last week, Clawdeen learned
she has a brother named Clawd
who she didn't know existed because
he grew up in another dimension.
-[man screams] -[whimpers]
Hey, Clawd.
A scream like that just means class is over.
What a weird place.
In Beheme, a scream like that means hide.
-[wood creaks] -[whimpers]
-Agh! -[thud]
[Draculaura] And Clawd spent the time since he got here
learning how he fits in at Monster High.
Wow. This place is increíble.
Um, incredible. My mom taught me Spanish and English
to increase my odds in case I ever fell through a portal
-into another world and-- -Lucky.
That's so cool Mom taught you Spanish.
-Hi. -[snarls]
Hello. Hi. Cool eyeshade.
We call them sunglasses.
Ah!
Nice ectoplasm! Wait.
-Do you call it ectoplasm? -Nope.
We call him Goobert.
Sorry, Goobert.
No problem.
It happens.
[mellow music playing]
Hello, students!
You are invited to-- and required for your grade--
to participate in the Annual Monster High Dance-off!
-[squeals] -I've been practicing,
and I think I might finally be as good as the Boogie Man,
the 16-time dance champ.
-Whoa, 16? -[electricity crackles]
Great at dancing, but couldn't pass trick-onometry
to save his death. Ah.
Got a brain bit from the Boogie Man's BFF.
This is just what I need to fill my vamp-ness.
-Your what now? -If I don't go for blood,
I still got to get life energy somewhere.
My dad was super supportive when I went vegan
and had this app made to make sure
I was getting enough life energy.
When my vamp-ness is drained, so is my energy.
But perfect performances feed my vamp-ness
and keep me on the "un" side of undead.
The dance-off will give me enough
for the rest of the semester.
[owl hoots]
You have 24 hours to choreograph
and practice your dance before the event tomorrow.
And the pairs are...
Frankie and Clawdeen, Toralei and Ghoulia,
Cleo and Deuce, Lagoona and Finnegan,
Goobert and Spectra, Manny and Heath,
and Draculaura and Clawd.
-And Clawd! -Here. Sorry I'm late.
Made a wrong turn at the catacombs, but I'm ready.
Let's dance, Draculaura.
Looks like someone's partner has two left paws.
-[laughs] -Don't you laugh, Toralei.
With my help, Clawd's dance moves
will be as wicked as the Boogie Man's.
Whoa. Ha! Mmm!
Ugh.
[device chimes, cackles]
Oh, my vamp-ness.
And that's how we dance in Beheme.
It scares away the predators.
-Is it that bad? -No.
Well, nothing I can't help with.
And trust me, I've been there.
[crowd laughing]
This was you?
Yup, only 200 years ago.
But I worked and worked until I had blisters
the size of your head.
And now I can dance the right way.
Now, if you let me, I can teach you
to be the ghoulest dancer with an easy 100-step routine
that'll make everyone scream!
[dramatic music playing]
I love hanging with you and my sister and Frankie,
but if I'm going to make new friends, shouldn't I show off my skills?
I mean, you wouldn't ask an aquatic arachno-squid
to start walking on land. [laughs]
That's a Beheme expression for be yourself.
Well, at Monster High, I have an expression.
If you want a perfect performance,
sometimes you need to improve on yourself.
You do have lots of friends.
All right. I'm in.
We'll impress everyone so much,
they'll scream till their lungs give out!
-Ugh! -[crash]
[laughter]
[upbeat music playing]
Ah! [grunts]
[giggles]
Oh! [laughs]
[device chimes, cackles]
[bats chirp]
-[screams] -[all grunt]
[shrieking]
[trash can growls]
[gasps, whimpers]
[sighs]
[low whirring]
[bats screech]
[yelps]
[both grunt]
[grunts, laughs]
[yelps]
Whoa! Oof!
[crows cawing]
[low whirring]
[bats screech]
[groans]
Draculaura, did you get bit by a zombie?
'Cause you got a bad case of the zombie walks.
Yeah, you're looking really pale. Uh, I mean, paler than normal.
Ugh.
My vamp level is so low, I'm decomposing.
This dance-off could be the death of me.
I'm going to be laughed at!
But I thought laughing was good.
I look silly, make monsters laugh,
and then I feel warm and fuzzy.
That's just not me.
Why'd I tell Toralei
I'd make Clawd as good of a dancer
as the Boogie Man?
[electricity crackles]
[Frankie] Oh, zap!
Red shoes!
Uh, Frankie, her shoes are pink.
No, that brain bit from Boogie's BFF is making a fuss.
Guess the Boogie Man's shoes are enchanted
-with some kind of dance power. -Enchanted?
I, uh, forgot I need to do something before the dance-off.
As a stakes expert, I know that tonight the stakes couldn't be higher.
I need help filling up my vamp-ness meter.
Will you save me?
[tense music playing]
[purring]
Aww! Our first dance-off? Yay!
Are you OK? Do you need anything?
-Water, snack, inspiring pep talk? -I'm fine, Clawdeen.
I'm just going to go chat with Finnegan and Lagoona.
Clawd, bud, settle this for us.
Do you think we should do a mermaid minuet
or Poseidon pas de deux?
Huh. Ah!
Clawd, super surprise.
Put these shoes on, and I guarantee
-you'll tear up the dance floor. -Excelente!
♪ Get ready! ♪
The Monster High Dance-off will start on my signal.
[screeches]
This is a howling good time.
[howls]
[upbeat music playing]
[Mrs. O'Shriek] Heath, what did I say about fire?
[hissing]
[crunching, cranking]
Mrroww. Ghoulia, those moves you learned from Monster Beats
are great!
Grace of the angelfish, strength of the shark.
[Clawd] Excelente.
The shoes are grooving. Freaky fun!
-Hey, are those-- -Boogie Man shoes that we learned were enchanted
right before Draculaura suddenly had to go? Yep.
Can we cut in? Draculaura, what are you doing?
Clawd doesn't need fancy dancy shoes. He's got his own moves.
What's the big deal? He's having the time of his afterlife.
Stop! I need a break.
Ugh. Ugh!
OK, the freaky fun is losing the fun.
Cut it out, shoes!
Oh. You're right.
It wasn't fair to drag Clawd into my vamp-ness.
-[crash] -[gasps]
Now, one of my favorite things to say.
Let's get those shoes! Hold still!
[grunting]
[growls, grunts]
This situation's stickier than the Beheme tar pits.
[Draculaura yelps]
Sticky situation? Yes, that's it!
[whimpers] Whoa. Whoa!
I'm sorry, Clawd, but I'm gonna fix this. Take my hand.
Whatever stops the room and me from spinning!
Now it's time to stick the landing!
-[Clawd] Sorry, Goobert. -All good.
-Whoa! -[Draculaura] Now!
[all grunting]
[crash]
[laughter]
Oh, I hate it when they laugh at me.
[device chimes, cackles]
[low whirring]
-[whimpers] -Don't worry about everyone else.
Just dance like you did in that video you showed me.
You were having so much fun.
Forget the scroll's stupid steps.
If we make them laugh, that's just a bonus.
[soft music playing]
This is a new dance that Clawd taught me
called, uh, the Giggle Groove.
-[laughter] -And it's contagious.
[laughs]
-Hey, looks like fun. -Show 'em what you got!
[upbeat music playing]
[laughter]
[students grunting, whooping]
Oh, I'm feeling it too! [laughs]
-Yeah! -[grunting]
[laughs]
-Whoo! [giggles] -[laughs]
No! We're laughing at them, not with them. At them!
[Draculaura] And it turns out, even an almost 1,600-year-old vampire
can learn something about herself in high school,
like that getting vamp energy
doesn't need a perfect performance.
It can come from making monsters laugh, too.
I'm glad to see Clawd really starting
to fit in here by being himself.
[laughs]
-[man screams] -[whimpers]
I meant to do that.
[laughing]
[mysterious music playing]
Imagine if you will, iBall!
Me, on my way to claiming the role of Cleopatra
in the school play.
Give me my robe! Put on my crown.
I have immortal longings in me...
and then some other words.
[applause]
I was hoping she called this very important meeting
because she found the mummy talisman.
Guess practicing for an audition
is almost as important as looking
for one of the things we need to bring your mom back.
-[howls] -[giggles]
Wow, Cleo. That was--
Anyway, did you maybe
have a chance to learn anything about the mummy talisman?
I did. I learned that it is not in my jewelry box.
But then Mrs. O'Shriek announced auditions,
and the blood moon eclipse is, like, forever away.
So for now, I have to concentrate
on playing Cleopatra.
The Cleopatra? Like the queen of Egypt 2,000 years ago?
-[electricity crackles] -Historian brain.
How do you know you'll get the part?
Well, I was named after her,
so it was meant to be.
Plus, Nefera is studying abroad in Scaris.
-[both] Nefera? -My sister.
You know, the one who's claimed the leading role
in every play we've ever auditioned for.
Not only is she first in line to be queen,
she's a natural performer.
Mummy and Baba are always so proud of her.
But when she's around, all I ever get to be is the tree!
It's enough to break a mummy's fragile, preserved heart!
Isn't that right, my pretty little heart?
[high voice] That's right, Cleo. But with Nefera away and me helping you
portray each emotion of a character,
this time, the role is yours.
[normal voice] Cleo plus Cleo's heart forever!
Oh, I suppose having heart is important for acting.
Careful. If something happens to that, I become heartless,
drained of my inner glow. Then there's no way I would be cast as Cleopatra.
-Do you have another sister? -Just Nefera, which is more than enough. Why?
'Cause you said Nefera is in Scaris,
but that girl behind you looks a lot like you.
-But even more royal. -[gasps]
[upbeat music playing]
Cleo, my most precious little sister!
Love you so much.
Can you believe I'm back already?
No. And I don't want to.
There was so much more I had planned in Scaris,
but how could I say no when Mrs. O'Shriek
begged me to come audition for Cleopatra?
What to do? What to do? [gasps] Inspo alert.
If I kicked my royal rating up to 100, I'd get the role.
And we all know what makes you royal-- jewels.
Imagine me wearing Cleopatra's jewels.
Mrs. O'Shriek would think Cleopatra herself
was auditioning.
But Cleopatra's necklace isn't here.
Must still be in the family tomb.
Guess I'll need someone to sneak into the tomb and get it.
Wait. We're going to Egypt?
I think I might need my dad to sign a permission slip for that.
No. First, the tomb is here. And second, we're sending my scarabs.
Should we tell her that's a paperweight?
My family has so many treasures,
we made them fun size.
My mummy powers give me a backstage pass,
opening doors you didn't even know were there.
It only unlocks for royal mummies.
Hello, my little beetle babies.
Bring me Cleopatra's jewels, kay?
-[scarabs chittering] -[pyramid whirs]
[pyramid chimes]
[both chittering]
A price?
But my family owns them. [sighs]
Looks like we're going to have to take care of this ourselves.
I was hoping you'd say that.
There you are!
Wait. Did you join the track team?
'Cause you ran out of the Coffin Bean
like you wanted to set a new record.
Aren't you going to introduce us?
Nefera, meet Clawdeen and Frankie.
Oh, hi! Well, good thing I brought extra souvenirs,
just in case my sister made new friends while I was gone.
Clawdeen, distract her while Frankie and I get the jewels.
Cleo, do you like this? Where did Cleo and Frankie go?
Oh, urgent snack break. OK.
Uh, my turn to ask you a question. Um, about this.
Oh, the mummy talisman?
I learned all about it in my queen training. Its power can only be wielded
by the chosen mummy representative,
the one who proves themselves with the most selfless act.
[gasps]
[scarabs chittering]
Cleopatra's necklace is right there.
[laughs] Incompetent scarabs.
-What's this? -I don't know.
I've never been in here before. You want to go first?
Yep. Anything for you, Cleo--
-[gasps] -[man] Intruder, out!
Frankie? [sighs]
Must be a family member's only deal.
The talisman will glow in the hands of the chosen one.
[both] Ugh!
Your family tomb is wild.
Wait, Cleo's in there?
But it has--it has incredibly dangerous booby traps.
You know, it'll be fine as long as she doesn't touch
any of the irresistible sparkling jewels.
She went there specifically to touch
the irresistible sparkling jewels, didn't she?
-Yup. -100%.
With this necklace, I'll look just like Cleopatra.
Now the lead role will be--
-[rumbling] -Mine.
[gasps] Ah!
This has to work.
-[device grinding] -Ah!
[booby trap rattles]
Cleo, watch out!
-What do we do? -If we go out of this box,
we'll go straight back to the dorm.
Oh, we can't just leave them!
Ah! [gasps]
[traps rattling, crashing]
Whoa, whoa, whoa! [screams]
No, Nefera!
[grunts]
I can't reach.
Just hold on!
Ugh! Like I have a choice!
[dramatic music playing]
Nefera.
[gasps, screams]
Um, not to be that mummy, but you're usually the one that knows everything.
What should I do?
What treasure did you move?
-[yelps] -Cleopatra's necklace.
You know, the one with the charms and all the bobbly bits.
Why do you have to do things like that?
-If you were just-- -Yeah, I know.
I'll never reach your high bar, but I'm trying, OK?
-Sorry. I didn't mean-- -Never mind that. The sundial is ticking.
Mutual apologies later.
OK, that necklace is called the Heart of Cleopatra.
To escape the tomb, you either have to put it back
or pay the price and replace it with something equal,
another heart.
OK, easy.
-B-R-B. -Cleo!
B-R-B means "be right back," in case that one didn't make it to Scaris.
Agh!
-[gasps] -[necklace chimes]
Uh...
-[gasps] -[both whimper]
I can't.
Um, you have to, I think, or we meet our mortal doom.
Starring in a play is not worth it!
But saving your mom is. Duh.
[gasps] The mummy talisman.
-Impressive throw, Cleo. -[both yelp]
[whimpers]
Goodbye, heart. It was super cool that you let me feel emotions
all these years. I'd missed that,
if missing were something I could do without you nearby.
[gasps]
Oh!
[man] You are now free to move about the pyramid.
Oh, no, your heart.
Once we leave the pyramid, you'll be too far away from it.
-[Nefera screams] -Nefera.
-[Nefera] Cleo! -Oopsies.
Coming!
[whimpering]
Clawdeen, Frankie, hold my legs.
[all grunting]
[Cleo] Nefera!
[both grunt]
[grunts]
Oh, you saved me!
You were so heroic.
I couldn't let someone so adorable plunge to the depths.
The masses would never forgive me.
Ugh. Fine.
Cleo! I kind of want to hug you, too.
You found the mummy talisman.
What can I say? I'm amazing.
But your heart. Aren't you doomed to be heartless now?
Tragic, huh?
The price had to be all samesies to the Heart of Cleopatra.
And I couldn't leave the mummy talisman here
knowing we need it to get Clawdeen's mom back.
But it's your heart. There must be another way.
Hmm. Gonna try something.
Sorry if it traps us all in here forever.
[teeth clack]
[grinding]
And now tomb and tombees,
welcome to the stage the heart of Frankie!
[whirring]
[rumbling]
Got you something.
Aww!
[mellow music playing]
The talisman has to be wielded by the mummy representative.
You'll need to put it in the portal at the ceremony.
[necklace whooshing]
No, it's not me.
-Look. -[gasps]
You're the chosen one, Cleo.
You proved yourself with the most
selfless act I have ever seen.
Me? [gasps]
No one's ever chosen me over you.
But if the universe insists!
One more talisman down.
One step closer to Mom. Thanks, Cleo.
I think all of that sounds like cause for celebration.
Party night?
-Awesome. -Whoo-hoo!
-[laughs] -[electricity crackling]
I decided to hard pass on the play.
Who has time for that when I have the role of a lifetime to fulfill?
I've even been working on my speech for the big night.
Welcome, monsters, to the Blood Moon Eclipse Ceremony.
Now, everyone follow me in placing your talismans
so we can open the portal.
Shimmy, shimmy, grapevine, turn-- Oh, oh!
Totally meant to do that.
[closing theme music playing] n-- Oh, oh!
