[Deuce] After I graduate from Monster High,
I want to take a gap year
and backpack across the Monster World,
from Argenscreama to Fang-hai
to the peak of Mount Neverest!
[Medusa] Hold that forked tongue.
[gasps] A gap year?
But we had it all planned.
You were supposed to study
the Gorgon art of sculpture with me
and turn humans into beautiful stone sculptures.
I still want to do that, Mom-dusa.
And I've been working on my Gorgon stare.
My record's 50 feet now.
But first, I want to explore on my own.
[in sing-song voice] Fifty feet! Deucey, that's wonderful!
Oh, uh, but we worry about you.
You have no backpacking experience.
Which is why I want to go on
the Monsters in the Wild trip, Mama.
I just need both your permissions.
You've let Eurayle and Stheno go on solo trips.
Now I'd like to try it.
You've clearly thought this through,
and it sounds like a great experience.
We trust you.
[shrieking]
Eurayle!
[gasping] Oh!
Uh, we'll send the permission screamail to the headmistress.
[chuckles nervously] Love you!
-[sighs] -Dude, what was that?
Sorry, Manny. That's just my sister Eurayle's Gorgon shriek.
It's like an SOS signal, but she likes to use it
to make dramatic entrances or whenever
-she's annoyed at Stheno. -Who?
Stheno's Eurayle's twin sister.
You have two siblings?
Actually, I have six. Six sisters.
Wow!
I always wanted sister. Or brothers.
Or any sort of sibling or cousin
or even a friendly neighbor.
I'm so excited to go camping with you.
My grand-moo and grand-bull just gave permission.
-Wilderness buddies! -[both] Yeah!
[Manny] My wilderness book says the woods
are full of weird, dangerous, and surprising flora and fauna.
Can't surprise me. This is my fifth trip.
I'm prepared for anything.
I just hope I remembered underwear.
Ew. TMI, dudes.
Well, what a fang-tastic turnout
for Monsters in the Wild.
Hello, Headmistress Bloodgood.
Or should we call you Chaperone Bloodgood?
Oh, Troop Leader Bloodgood? Our Fearless Leader Bloodgood!
[laughs] Oh, I wouldn't touch those woods
with a ten-foot basilisk fang.
[Gorgon shriek]
We're the chaperones, silly snakes!
[chuckles] Sup, baby Deucey?
Give your parents my best for volunteering, you two.
Let's go, Boo Crew.
[upbeat music]
They sent you here to babysit?
You know Mom-dusa.
-She can be kind of-- -Overprotective.
But don't worry. We'll stay out of your snakes.
Just remember, the woods around here
Can be a little...Extra.

Excuses, excuses.
Manny is already out foraging for our supper.
Stick the stick thingies and flap the flappy things

Is that a lava lamp?
Yes, and it better heat up fast.

I'm going to go get more firewood.

Eurayle, you promised that our baby bro
would be so scared by now

Hey, sorry for thinking a campsite

Maybe our methods were extreme,

You have to be prepared for anything!
Don't follow me.
Hmm.
Is this the edible

Hmm.

-Um, what are you doing? -Oh, nothing!
Uh, definitely not smelling this book
because that would be weird, right?
-What are you doing? -I just needed some space.
Do you know how to get back to camp?
Yeah, I learned from my book to always mark a trail,
so I used feathers along the way.
-[crow caws] -[both gasp]
Maybe feathers were a bad choice.
[all shivering]
Nobody said we were camping in a tundra!
We didn't pack our parkas.
Yeah, this campsite may have been a bad idea,
you know, considering it's called
the "Ghost Chasms of Doom."
[rumbling]
Oh, this is so not volt-ageous!
[all gasping]
[tense music]
[ghosts shriek]
[all gasping]
Yep, we are ghost chasm toast.
Well, I've read that moss only grows
on the north side of trees.
Hmm.
Even if we do get back,
my sisters will probably confine me to my tent
because I'm "just a snakelet."
Hey, get off, freeloader.
Well, what do you mean? Is that why you left camp?
Pretty much. I'm the only boy and the youngest,
so my sisters act like I still need training fangs.
I just want to stop being Baby Deucey.
I get that. Well, sort of.
What do you mean?
Well, I'm an only child, so I won't ever be able
to fully understand sibling dynamics,
but I was raised by my grand-monsters,
who can be a little overprotective,
like your sisters.
I mean, they still make me
link horns when we cross mazes.
I think sometimes family members
get attached to the version of you they once knew.
They don't always see who you've become.
Even with six sisters as the only boy,
I sometimes feel left out.
I just want them to see the real me.
Maybe you should talk to them?
I mean, if I had sisters, and I wish I did,
I think talking to them would be a good thing.
Hmm. It's worth a shot.
But only if you talk to your grand-monsters.
[Gorgon shriek]
Wait, isn't that--
Eurayle's Gorgon shriek! Let's go!
-Whoa! -Deuce! Manny!
We're trapped!
Thank my slithers you two are okay!
You have to go get help.
I've read about ghost chasms.
They're one million feet deep, cause freezing temperatures,
and contain ancient ghosts
that want to pull you down into them!
There's no time to get help!
We won't last five minutes like this,
even with my 13 lava lamps!
Did you read how to get rid of a ghost chasm?
-I didn't get to that chapter. -I think I have an idea!
But are you sure, Deucey?
Don't do anything too dangerous.
Maybe you should go get a grown-up.
-[thunderous rumbling] -Whoa!
I'm not the baby snakelet I used to be.
I know I can do this, but I need you to see that
and I need your support.
Do you believe in me?

[whimpering] Big scary bird? Where?
We're so sorry we didn't have faith in you before.
I guess we didn't see how much you've grown.
And we were a little jealous.
Mom-dusa and Mama made us jump through literal flaming hoops
to prove we were ready for this stuff.
Yeah, it was so easy for you, it felt unfair.
-But you deserve it. -Thank you.
And I get how that'd be frustrating.
To be honest, I've always been envious of you, too.
I hope you can support me
and not just think of me as
your annoying baby brother.
Aw, well, we'll always think of you
-as our annoying baby brother. -[Deuce chuckles]
But you're our annoying baby brother
who is also a very capable, independent monster
who we're super proud of in our weird twin way.
Excuse me.

[Clawd] It was the crime of the century,
or at least the semester.
Talismans were going missing,
disappearing into thin air.
[suspenseful music]
[Clawd] It was about midnight when I got a hot tip
on the latest victim of this ice-cold crime.
We were worried that the vampire talisman
would be next, so we squirreled it away in a safe,
but the thief was even squirrel-ier.
We were out of ideas and out of luck
until she walked in,
Student Bloody President, Head Fearleader,
a top-notch witch, and a snappy dresser to boot.
Clawd, what are you doing?
Uh, just giving my Monster Minute a little pizzazz.
Clawd, stop joking around.
If we don't get the talismans,
we may never bring Mom back.
Don't worry, Clawdeen.
I'm on this case like a zombie
on a brain sandwich.
Now, Draculaura, have you noticed anything unusual?
-This is not mine. -Whoa!
There was a candy wrapper like that on the stairs
right after my talisman was taken.
[Bloodgood] Attention, all students.
Incoming update from
the headmistress's office.
Listen up.
You are no doubt aware
of the talisman thefts.
I want to reassure you
the entire staff is taking this situation
very seriously.
We will bring this perpetrator to justice.
I have consulted the door knocker.
I love when I'm properly credited!
[Bloodgood] And no one has entered or left the premises,
which means the perpetrator is one of us.
Until we figure out who is behind this,
for the safety of the remaining talisman,
I will institute a curfew effective immediately.
Everyone must stay in their dorm rooms
between the hours of 6:00 a.m. And 6:00 p.m.
-[all groaning] -[Bloodgood] No moaning,
and absolutely no breaking curfew.
Those caught doing so
will suffer the ultimate punishment.
To ensure compliance,
I have deputized my noble steed, Nightmare,
as hall monitor.
Now, remember, this is all for your safety.
-Sleep tight. -[menacing neighing]
Or else.
I don't really mind the curfew.
More time to read books.
I'm gonna binge watch some cartoons on Paranormal+.
The perpetrator isn't a student, and I can prove it.
I've been investigating and here's what I've got.
One, every talisman was stolen in broad moonlight,
yet there were no witnesses in any instance.
[sighs]
Two, near every crime scene,
there was a candy wrapper.
[gasps] Whoa. Candy in a high school?
Alert the authorities.
But this candy isn't from this dimension.
It's from Beheme!
Not only that, it's the favorite snack
of my archnemesis, the Sugar Rush Bandit,
the one paranormal pest I could never catch.
But how would it have gotten to Monster High?
Well, if this cutie got through when you came here,
maybe another did, too?
Mm, it seems farfetched.
Honestly, bro, I think this sugar dude
is living rent-free in your belfry.
