Eyeball, for today's journal entry,
feast your eye on my current obsession--
Pearl Ryuzaki!
This wani , that's a Japanese water dragon ,
has got style, poise,
and amazing talent for jewelry design.
-[phone chimes] -Oh!
-[laughs] -You okay, Cleo?
Pearl's new sea glass bracelet design just dropped.
-Look! -Oh, pretty.
-You know her? -Basically.
I've seen every single one of her posts.
Oh, we're so samesies. See?
Oh, you're looking at EekTok.
We might be the only two monsters in this school
who aren't obsessing over
that new fortune telling, horoscare app.
Horoscopes just aren't my thing, you know?
But everyone else is really into 'em.
Music will lure your true love.
Come to me, mi amor.
[toots harsh horn]
A nice surprise awaits you in a small package.
Dude!
Today, you will catch
someone's eye.
Someone's eye? Eye...
[gasps] Must mean Iris.
Oh!
[distant screaming]
-How do I get a horoscare app? -Ugh, okay, here's the app.
But don't read too much into it.
Fortunes are just for fun.
Maybe in the human world, Clawdeen,
but in the monster world, horoscares always come true.
Draculaura's right.
Mine said today will be super, and it is.
Lunch with my boo crew? Ooh, super duper!
Give me mine!
I command you, iCoffin application!
A monster most precious to you will enter your life
in an unexpected way today.
-[gasps] -Pearl!
Oh, you're talking about Pearl, right?
-Yes. -Oh, my Ra.
Entering my life! Is she coming to Monster High?
-I don't know about that. -Yes.
Yes!
So next stop, creepover parties
and best boos forever bracelets?
-Oh, that's a big leap. -Yes.
[screams]
So unexpected.
I have to put together a welcome party!
[gasps] Fun.
-I want to help. -Come on, Frankie!
Whoa!
What do you have for me, horoscare?
A ray of sunshine will brighten your life.
Eek!
Sunshine is a vampire's nightmare.
I gotta grab my parasol!
Well, I guess I'm the only monster
not obsessing over that app, and the only one
who knows how to clean up after myself.
[sniffs] Hm.
Mmm, tofu mummy wrap.
Why humans are the greatest threat to monster existence.
Ooh, good essay title. Time for a break.
Let's see what everyone's been making such a hissy fit about.
Your enemy will infiltrate your safe haven.
Humans! You mean humans, right?
Yes.
-Barkimedes! -Hi, Toralei.
Um, I mean, your royal were-princess-ness.
Where's the rest of the wolf pack?
Oh, they got a major case of the scaredy cat--
-[grumbles] -Pillars.
Scaredy caterpillars after they got
their horoscares and they hid in a secret werewolf den.
But it's okay.
I wouldn't want to miss my date with Iris.
I haven't asked her yet, but I got the flowers,
and the horoscare will do the rest.
I have the purrfect way for you to impress Iris.
You're going to help me save Monster High.
The Coffin Bean's good for a party.
-Is it good enough for Pearl? -Definitely.
Any party you're in charge of is sure to be zaptacular.
You're so good at parties and planning things
and picking things and making things nicer
and sweeping-- I should be sweeping.
Oh, my ghoul, cleaning implements.
Horoscare fate avoided.
I have to tell Finnegan about this.
Guess we're done cleaning. What's next?
Party music!
[upbeat music]
Ooh!
[laughter]
[water whooshes]
No other music!
[toots harsh horn]
My true love won't be able to hear my alluring melody.
[toots harsh horn]
[hums melody] ♪ Yeah, yeah ♪
[laughter]
Pearl has posted "obsessed" three times about these cakes.
The first batch came out great,
but we'll need, like, 100 more for the party.
-Okay, we got the ingredients. -And now we mix.
Yes, just like that. Perfect, Frankie!
-[electricity crackles] -Uh--
Oh!
[mixer thuds and whirs]
-[laughs] -Oops.
-[laughter] -Oh, you got some right there.
[both chuckle]
[laughter]
[cake crunches]
-Mmm. -Deuce!
My horoscare said sweet things come
to those who wait, and I waited the entire time
you were baking those before I ate them.
[burps] Gluttony thanks you for the snacks.
Well, we're down a few cakes.
But this party will still be sweet.
[laughs]
Sweet, oh, good one.
[Toralei] Good thing Headmistress Bloodgood
had these ectoplasm papers leftover
from the giant monster fly invasion last year.
You think a human can find monster high?
Clawdeen found it, and she's basically human,
and if this invading human somehow gets through the gate,
we'll trap them!
And you really think I can be a hero?
Like, an eye-catching hero?
I don't prowl with werewolves much
being that we are natural nemeses,
but you've got what it takes, Barky.
Now let's get more traps.
[grunts]
Good news, the traps work. [chuckles]
Oh, ugh. [grunting]
Ta-da!
Made it myself for Pearl to display her jewelry.
I think it'll work,
but let me check the photo Pearl posted.
-[gasps] -[screams]
"Countdown: one hour to go
till I attend a super fangtastic event."
She'll be here in an hour?
How can I amp up the impressive factor,
my little beetle babies?
[all chittering]
-[electricity crackles] -Oh!
Idea!
If you need more impressive, we need more...
fearleaders!
-We're here to help. -[gasps]
A flash mob? Frankie, you genius, you!
Our routine is sure to elevate any welcome party.
Yep, seen it, and it's amazing.
Pearl is gonna adore this, and I adore your brain.
Oh. [chuckles]
-Thanks. -[electricity crackles]
All right, fearleaders.
Toralei, you take the front--
uh, wait, where's Toralei?
[phone ringing]
Toralei's iCoffin. Toralei speaking.
[Draculaura] Toralei, are you coming for the welcome flash mob?
Welcome? Who are you welcoming?
I don't know. Someone Cleo likes.
Cleo is behind the attack?
I always knew she had a gross obsession with humans,
but I never thought she'd open the gate for a human.
Barky, we have to stop Cleo.
Oh! [grunts]
That'll be the best we can do without Toralei.
I think Pearl will love it.
Now let's go meet her at the gate.
Hi, Cleo.
Sorry, but I can't let you go out there.
Toralei's orders.
Uh, my friend will be here soon,
and I need to open the gate.
[playful organ music]
Fearleaders, flash mob welcome that werewolf!

[dramatic music]
-Ectoplasm trap, oh zaps! -What?
-Why are these here? -[hisses]
I had to do everything I could
to stop a human from destroying Monster High.
Figures you'd be the one to let them in.
What? No.
Pearl Ryuzaki is coming. She's not a human.
Horoscares don't lie, but human lovers do!
[hisses]
If we don't open the gate,
Pearl won't be able to get in,
and she'll be here any second.
We can make it in time.
Not if I can help it!
Don't you dare let a human in here!
[grunts]
[snarling]
-[gasps] -Oh, you saved me.
-[phone chimes] -[gasps]
It's time.
Welcome, Pearl!
The horoscare said she'd be here.
Sorry to butt in, but are you talking about
my horoscare app, the one I coded?
You coded? The mystical swirl one.
Yeah, I soft launched it
with a bunch of random stuff I made up.
Impossible, it answered my question.
Oh, if you ask it a question, it always says yes.
The computer voice sounded weird when it said...
No!
[soft dramatic music]
[groans]
[knocking]
Since you didn't get to meet Pearl,
-made you something. -[gasps]
Thank you. It's beautiful.
Want to... [clears throat]
-Hang out? -Was hoping you'd say that.
Thought we can make jewelry together.
[Cleo] Okay, so the horoscare was totally made up,
but a precious monster did come into my life,
like, more into my life.
Wouldn't it be funny if my horoscare
was talking about you, and yours was talking about me?
Like, maybe I'm the werewolf enemy
who infiltrates your heart.
[tooting harsh horn]
Barkimedes, you are mi amor!
[toots harsh horn]
Ah, never mind, Toralei. It was Lagoona's eye I caught.
[toots harsh horn]
I hate horoscares!
[eerie music]
[upbeat music]
[announcer] And now presenting the zombie whose voice
will make you want to scream,
Ghoulia Yelps!
♪ Hello ♪
Ghoulia, Ghoulia, Ghoulia!
Ghoulia, Ghoulia, Ghoulia, you're player one.
Yeah, chica, you gotta push start.
Oh, right.
Welcome to "Skelly Vonderbone--"
that's me-- "Presents Performance Party."
No bones about it, you're about to play level one.
Dance off.
Thanks, Skelly. Great to be here.
Big fan.
I'll crush this party to pieces!
[roars]
I'm gonna dance like no one's watching,
which is exactly how I dance when everyone's watching.
Performers ready?
Move them bones!
[dance music playing]
[Skelly] Perfect!
Nice moves!
Everybody, knee knock.
[Skullette screams]
Attention, all haunted theater class students,
report to the Clawditorium for an urgent update.
Either my brain bits are playing tricks on me,
or Skullette just called us.
Better be important
'cause I was just about to get the high score.
Adios, avatars. See you IRL.
Class, today we have
a very special guest instructor.
She's the underworld renowned star of stage and screen.
She's topped the Chillboard charts 15 times!
Her concerts sell out from Fanghai to Boo York!
She's...
Greetings and skullutations, Monster High!
[all cheering]
Ooh, dessert for Neptuna.
[sighs]
[dreamy music]
I didn't even get to finish my intro.
Wow, the real Skelly, not just the video game Skelly,
here at Monster High,
and this is our one chance to impress her.
Zap, that's exciting.
Thanks for the ride, Nightmare.
Let the headmistress know I appreciate her
letting me take you out of the stables.
And now, hello, students!
I am the talented, stunning, iconically bone structured
Skelly Vonderbone.
[all cheer]
This screamester, rather than just studying theater,
you'll perform in a show with...
Me.
We'll be singing my hit single, "Turn It Inside Out"
and dancing too.
[Manny] The Skelly Vonderbone signature knee knock!
In the-- well, not flesh, but bone!
That's my favorite song.
I'm ready for Deuce's solo.
Pride, don't assume I'll get a solo
just because I have a great singing voice,
undeniable stage presence
and bring my own backup dancers.
It will be just like playing Skelly's game
but in real life and with everyone,
including Skelly herself, watching.
So I'll turn this over to Skelly.
Break a leg, monsters.
Not my favorite saying, but thank you, Mrs. O'Shriek.
Now let's get cracking and see what we have to work with here.
Follow my lead.
[singing scales] ♪ Bones ♪
Let's hear it, minotaur.
♪ Bones ♪
Okay, go Franken-monster.
♪ Bones ♪
Whoo! Now sing it, zombie.
[breathes deeply]
Brains!
[all gasp]
Brai-- brai--
brains!
No, no, no, no, no!
Maybe I can switch classes
and never show Skelly my face again.
-Ghoulia, you there? -Yeah, come in.
Just got done with class.
You know, that class you ran out of
after you grunted "brains" a lot.
Myself, I was very confused, as I have heard you sing,
and it is beautiful.
Why didn't you sing like normal?
Because I'm not normal. I'm freaky.
Today everything I dreamed of happened,
meeting Skelly, singing with her,
but then it was a nightmare.
I got brain freeze.
-Huh? -Eh?
It's something that happens
to zombies. I've never gotten it before,
but with the Skelly Vonderbone there
watching me, oh, I got the brain freeze bad.
That means all I'm ever gonna be able to sing
with Skelly around is "Brains."
Ugh, so embarrassing. [sighs]
Guess this will never happen now.
No, don't give up on your hopes and dreams!
You know what they say, if singing's got you freezing,
count on your pals to melt your brain.
-Who says that? -Me.
Now, Ghoulia, are you ready
to get over your brain freeze or what?
You can practice for the real performance
by singing with video game Skelly.
Player one, curtains up
for the singsational singing competition.
[breathes deeply]
Brains!
-[body thuds] -[both gasp]
Okay, singing with video game Skelly was too much.
Let's try poster Skelly.
No bones about it.
You should sing and dance with me.
[breathes deeply]
Brains!
Brai-ai-ai-ai-ai--
brai--
brains!
That poster was too realistic.
You should start with a small rock
painted with an abstract, vaguely Skelly face.
Thanks for trying, but there's no getting over
brain freeze, and singing "brains,"
it's too freaky.
I have to quit the show.
But Ghoulia...
And now presenting the zombie
whose voice will make you...
[somber music]
Whose voice can only sing "brains"
when Skelly's watching. Oh.
-Ghoulia. -Ah!
I mean, hi, Ms. Vonderbone.
Just the ghoul I had a bone to pick with.
So what's rattling your ribcage?
It's just...
I have brain freeze, and it's embarrassing,
and now that I have it, I can't get rid of it
before the show, so I have to quit,
-and I wish I could be like you. -[laughs]
That got me right in the funny bone.
Trust me, no one wants you to be like me.
The world can barely handle one of me.
Hey, you ever play my video game?
Yeah, it's only the greatest game
that's ever haunted my console.
When you start the game,
push right femur, right femur,
left humerus, skull, skull, skull.
-Unlocks the secret level. -[gasps]
Really? Ooh. I gotta get my game on.
Does that girl never say goodbye?
Right femur, right femur, left humerus,
skull, skull, skull.
Welcome to the knee knock knockout round.
Sharing is scaring, so in this level,
I'm sharing one of my skeleton keys
to my sensational success.
Back when I was a young monster
starting out on the road to stardom,
I had a weird thing.
Roll the dramatic reenactment!
[bright music]
Being onstage gave me
the rattlebones.
That's something that happens to skeletons.
Nothing I could do about it. It was part of who I was.
But even though I shook, all I wanted to do was sing
and dance my nonexistent heart out,
so I embraced it.
[upbeat music]
My weird thing became my thing.
Instead of holding me back,
my knee knock knocked me to stardom.
Really?
So what's your thing, player one?
Brain freeze.
-Do you want to make... -Brain freeze.
Your thing and perform with me?
To accept the challenge, push the green button.
To exit, push the red button.
[soft dramatic music]
[game chirps]
And sing it out.
Brai--
The fact that you just smashed all your buttons
tells me you might have tried to cover up your thing,
but you need to embrace it.
Whatever's inside of you, sing it out.
Whatever's inside of me, sing it out.
Changing my lyrics? Bold, but I like it.
