[blender whirring]
Straw-scary smoothie, extra crunch for Howleen.
Thanks, Venus. [crunches, gulps]
Claw-licking good.
So how are you settling in?
Transferring midway through the scream-ester
and opening a business has got to be tough.
Oh, it's definitely a big transition.
Mr. Mothmanson!
Ooh, that looks d-d-d-d-delicious.
-Oh, wait. Forgot your mothball. -Nice shot.
Oh, thank you, Venus.
I foresee that you will be in class later.
And I'll be on time
if I don't get lost in the catacombs again.
You're clearly a smoothie savant.
It's just a little cart for now,
but Headmistress Bloodgood says maybe next scream-ester,
I could grow into a full shop,
like I had in the Bermuda Triangle.
Hear ye, hear ye, your Pharaoh-to-be
has blessed you with breakfast.
Come get a free boo-rito
and get to know the future Pharaoh.
Connecting with the public is, oh, so important.
As long as you put it on EekTok under Nefera Rules, that is.
Bloom my buds,
I've been following Nefera on EekTok for years.
The way she juggles her career as future Pharaoh,
being a student, and her extra-peculiars?
-She's killing it. -She's not even on the throne yet,
and she's already created a charity
to clean up the Frighty Nile River.
-[Nefera] Get them while they're hot. -Want a boo-rito?
No, that's okay.
Ooh, potato, egg, and fleas, please.
Goobert, think fast.
[grunts]
All right, the Deuce Dude
with the interception.
[Goobert] Hey, don't make me goo you.
Beloveds, there are enough for you all.
Scarabs, boo-rito the masses.
You're the best.
-I love boo-ritos. -Thanks, Nefera.
If only I could be
a boss monster like Nefera.
-[grunts] -[Mr. Mothmanson] You'll need
to catch up on the reading.
[Deuce] Join a study group so you don't fall behind.
[woman] Due tomorrow.
[tense music]
[gasps]
Oh, thanks.
[leaves rustle, person yelps]
If you're trying to sneak up on me,
you picked the wrong place.
Gardens are my turf, and with my pollen powers,
plants are always willing to lend a leaf to help me.
Furballs. I wasn't sneaking.
You just looked so in the zone.
I came to see if you wanted to play some casket-ball later,
put that mothball-throwing arm to the test.
I wish I could, but I have so much to do.
Nefera makes it look easy. If only I could be like her.
But to do that, I need to do all my homework
and prep a catacomb's worth of fruit for smoothies.
[echoing] Prep a catacomb's worth of fruit for smoothies.
Totally get it.
Need a homework buddy or a fruit slicer? Rah!
No, I can handle it.
[dramatic music]
Oh, no, what happened?
Nevermore.
I'm so sorry, Lenore.
I don't know where this all came from.
Oh, root rot!
I must have accidentally pollinated.
Venus! Ugh, this is a disaster.
Okay, a very tasty disaster
but a disaster all the same.
Get your fruit cleaned up.
[grunts]
Mm, gonna try something new.
Do I get a large, extra-large?
How rotten do you think the car-rots are?
I'm not quite ready to open.
Need a hand or a vacuum?
Thank you, but no, it's my mess.
If I may?
Come one, come all to Nefera's
Flying Sarcophagus of Doom.
Experience the exhilarating thrill
that only tomorrow's Pharaoh could have created.
-Incoming! -Pharaoh?
More like farewell.
What a boss.
It is amazing that she does it all by herself.
Hey, Venus, want to check out the ride with me?
I can't. I'm working.
But you go.
S-s-some moth monsters, like myself,
have the gift of foresight.
But unfortunately others never live up to that potential.
[echoing] Others never live up to that potential.
Here we have Venus McFlytrap,
a plant monster that has grown
from a wee sprout to a teenage sapling,
-ready to take on the world. -Why should we care?
[Mr. Mothmanson] She has impressive powers,
from being able to grow vines on command
to controlling plants with her pollen power.
Unfortunately, she hasn't really lived up to her full potential.
But let's see if she can impress us, shall we?
Impress us!
Boo-ring.
She has to do it all by herself!
Totally un-voltageous.
[growls]
Look, she's pollinating. Ew.
Wait. No, I can do it.
I can do it all. I can.
I can. I can. [gasps] Oh, no.
Oh, you're awake. I thought I'd just let you sleep.
You looked a little wilted.
I see there may be something on your mind.
If you want to talk, I'm here.
Or you can always make an appointment
with Dr. C, the school therapist.
No, I just have a giant amount of work to do.
Thanks, Mr. Mothmanson. Bye.
[shimmering tone]
[echoing] I just have a giant amount of work to do.
[roars]
Sorry. Sorry.
I wish y'all didn't have to wait.
[upbeat music]
[roars]
[yawns] And I have to study?
I could use a few more hands and a few more vines
to keep up with all this.
[eerie music]
[echoing] I could use a few more hands
and a few more vines--
[roars]
Oh, thorns and thistles, did I fall asleep again?
-[roars] -[gasps] What was that?
[Deuce] Aah, Venus flytraps!
What's going on?
So many very big Venus flytraps,
and they're all coming from Monster High!
-[gasps] -This is bad and not in a good way.
My horror-scope did not warn me about this.
-What should we do? -Calm down, students.
Just because we're facing a perilous threat
and are in grave danger from a horde of bloodthirsty,
maniacal Venus flytraps
doesn't mean we should panic.
Excuse me, Headmistress, but shouldn't we prepare for battle?
Excellent idea, mummy girl.
Students, like she said, prepare for battle.
But what would even make so many giant Venus flytraps show up?
It's as if we set off a homing beacon.
I just have a giant amount of work to do.
Thorn in my side, not again.
Raven, fly to my office and ensure any and all
stuffed animals are protected.
Squawk, nevermore.
[Venus] I--
the garden. [chuckles nervously]
I need to think.
Hi, I'm Nefera, Pharaoh-to-be
and an apparent expert at noticing
when new students run off in the midst
of a dramatic and dangerous situation.
Can I help?
No, thanks.
I didn't mean for anyone to see me like this,
especially you.
You would never be stuck in a thornbush like this.
[roars]
Those dudes are the worst.
Fought 'em before, and we'll fight 'em again.
I shall bite with my bite-iest bite.
-[chomping] -You're a real boss monster,
doing it all--school, being a lifestyle brand,
becoming Pharaoh-- and all by yourself.
Wait a mummy minute. All by myself?
You think I do this on my own?
Oh, sweet flower, I have loads of help.
If I didn't have Cleo, Mummy, and Baba pitching in,
I wouldn't get a single thing done.
Cleo is quite the expert at remote controlling
those flying sarcophagi Frankie rigged.
She really saved my mummified behind on that one.
Keeping my grades up meant some intensive tutoring time with Ms. Ziz.
I absolutely rely on Dr. C to keep my mental health in tip-top shape.
Just a few things to chat about today.
And curating my EekTok feed so everyone only sees me
looking ultra amazing is basically a full-time job
for Hissette and several scarabs.
There's no way I could do it all alone,
especially not when getting ten to 12 hours of sleep a night
is so important to my overall well-being.
[roars]
Beetle babies, stay close to me.
I don't like this.
I think I've made a huge mistake.
-It's okay. -No, you don't understand.
I got really overwhelmed trying to do it all on my own.
And when I'm overwhelmed, sometimes I pollinate.
See? I'm doing it right now. Don't listen to me, plants.
The plants must have confused my stress pollination
for danger and wanted to help.
And I pollinated so much with those nightmares,
I called the giant Venus flytraps here.
I need help, like a big ole ecosystem of help.
[roars]
On my count, we charge in three.
[roars]
[Bloodgood] One, two, three.
Wait! I'm so sorry.
This is all my fault. But I think I can fix it.
Or we can fix it.
I can activate my pollen power to call them off,
but I need your help getting the pollen to the VFTs, and fast.
Anything you need, we got you.
Let's do this.
I'll communicate for them to go home in my pollen.
Thank you for responding to my call for help,
but I'm okay now. You can go home.
Lagoona can capture the pollen in her water balls,
which will make it easier to get it right where we need it
without a breeze taking it off course.
Ah, but I wanted to get bite-y.
[Venus] Then we all work together
to get the pollen to the flytraps.
[Venus, echoing] Thank you.
[grunting]
[Venus, echoing] Thank you.
-[grunts] -[Venus, echoing] Thank you.
Thank you for responding to my call for help,
but I'm okay now. You can go home.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Hope you have a safe trip home.
Oh, we did it.
That was fun, once it stopped being so totally terrifying.
Nice work, Venus.
I couldn't have done it without all your help.
Sorry my pollination got a little out of control.
We're all still figuring out our powers.
It's totally normal.
And super monstrous.
-You rock. -[Bloodgood] Indeed.
Great job, one and all.
Three jiggles for a job well done.
-Awesome! -Whoo!
[Deuce laughs] Yeah!
-Thanks for your help, Howleen. -[chomps]
We have to get you on the casket-ball team.
-Venus to Howleen. -Howleen sinks it into the blender.
Team Ve-Leen wins.
[laughter]
[slurps]
[eerie electronic music]
[bug skittering]
[giggles]
-[camera shutter snaps] -See, Bunny?
If you sit still, a bug is bound to land on you.
Best Big Paw, Little Paw Day ever.
All right, what's next, Little Paw?
Oh, we could bake with Deuce.
Fresh brain muffins.
Hi, Clawdeen. Hi, Bunny.
Or we can do arts and witchcrafts with Draculaura.
Draculaura? I never saw you like a bat before.
I love bats and bugs and birds.
So things that start with B?
No, pollinators.
Bunny's into things that pollinate.
She taught me that bugs, bats, and birds
all go from plant to plant carrying pollen.
Can I get a photo for my pollinator book?
Yeah, as long as your camera has vamp-capture tech.
But vampires aren't in the pollination game.
-Never mind, then. -[grunts]
Did you know there are 12 kinds of bats
in the monster woods that pollinate?
I have some pictures in my book. Skeleton bats.
Screaming bats. Look, here's a dancing bat.
[laughs] A dancing bat? Fang-tastic!
Clawdeen, maybe we can find more pollinators tonight.
Yeah, but first I need a quick chat with Draculaura and Deuce.
Okay, I'm gonna get this bug.
Watch this. Gorgon vision is so precise,
I won't stone a single brain muffin.
[laughs]
So obviously Deuce has time for a mission.
-How about you, Draculaura? -I always have time for a mission,
-especially secret ones. -Great, I want to surprise Bunny
with a pollinated food picnic. While we're collecting photos,
can you gather food like straw-scaries, grave-fruits, and goo-berries?
-Yeah. -Oh, D and D are on the case.
Just let me do my finale. Free muffins!
[squeals] Me! Me, me, me!
[chomping]
[gulps, sighs] Gracias. Bye.
And the rest for Clawdeen and the were-rabbit.
Go long, Clawdeen.
Whoa! Ah.
Thanks. We'll meet up at lunchtime.
Okay, now I'm ready.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Were you thinking about who would win in a fight
between a zombie T. rex and a vampire alien?
No, I was thinking we should go to the creep-ateria
to find the pollinated foods for the picnic.
Oh, right. Yeah, I was thinking about that too.
Spot any pollinating crawlies?
No, but I found some leaves.
Maybe if we follow them, we find a bug.
Then let's get following.
Oh, here's one.
Hmm, whatever we're tracking must have come
through the casket-ball court.
[gasps] Hey, that reminds me.
Did I ever tell you about the time
we summoned two kaiju ghosts
who challenged us to a game of casket-ball?
-Cool. -Yeah.
We were all scared to take them on,
but I wasn't gonna let some kaiju push me around.
So brave.
-Oh, there's another leaf. -Here.
Careful, there's a trapdoor over there.
I found it on the night I rescued my brother
from this other dimension and saved the school
from a splitsee attack.
-Wow. -Oh, there.
Oh! You're not a bug.
Nope, I'm not a bug.
-I'm a plant monster. -Oh, hey, Venus.
This is Bunny, my Little Paw
from the were-mentoring program.
Bunny, this is Venus.
She just transferred to Monster High.
Hi, Bunny.
Is this yours?
Yeah, I've been wilting lately.
I'm not sure why.
I thought I was fitting in, but maybe this
isn't the right environment.
So I came out here to see if any of the plants around
could be a good companion for me.
Try this.
I've heard of companion plants.
My dad says that tomatoes and basil are pals
because basil drives away pests that eat tomatoes.
For sure. My favorite companion plant back home in Boo York
is the ghost rose.
It gave me a special shine that would melt away my stress.
Isn't it lovely?
That's pretty.
I wish I could find one here,
but I have no idea where they grow nearby.
[gasps] It's their favorite.
Yeah, these buds love moon chips.
-Me too. -[giggles]
Not that.
The dancing bats love ghost roses.
Dancing bats love ghost roses too? Guess we have a lot in common.
And the dancing bats live in the woods.
Really? All my buds are bursting to hear
all you know about these bats.
We got snow caps, cup-snakes, haunt dogs,
and so much worm-men.
Hmm, according to my research,
bees, bats, and birds pollinate
monster fruit, nuts, and grains.
Yeah, we have none of that.
And that's my cue to get shopping.
Hmm, the delivery dragons are all busy.
Hmm, do we know any foodie experts?
-[gasps] Tater tyke. -Ah!
What's going on here?
Oh, just a tater tyke I brought to life
with my witchcraft once.
He's found his place in the enchanted food community.
-Aah! -[gasps]
Hey, tater tyke.
We're looking for food
made from pollinated plants.
Do you know where we could find some?
[vocalizing]
Did you just bribe that tater tyke?
[burps]
[sighs]
[vocalizing]
So you're saying dancing bats mostly eat ghost rose pollen,
-but they also like treats, like brain muffins? -Yeah.
So if we can lure one out with a brain muffin,
we can follow it back to the ghost rose.
Bunny, as our bat expert, you let us know
-when we should use the bat muffin bait. -I will.
Wow, big spider.
That spider is really rare.
We better get a photo, then.
Uh-oh. It's over the edge.
Lend a vine, Venus?
Don't fall.
[camera shutter snaps]
[gasps] Wow, Clawdeen, you are never scared.
I get scared a lot, but being brave
means doing what's needed even when you're scared.
You needed that photo for your collection.
Bunny, is that the bat we're looking for?
Yeah. It's taking the muffin, just like you said, Bunny.
Good thinking, sprout. Now let's follow it.
Wait, the bats are shy.
Just quietly.
[bat squeaking]
Hi, cute spider.
-Say scream. -[camera shutter snaps]
Clawdeen, I found another spider.
Clawdeen? Venus?
[sighs] I'll stay here.
Clawdeen will come back.
[vocalizing]
Thanks, but we don't know the difference
between goo-berries and toot-berries.
We're gonna need a little more help.
[vocalizing]
Hey, we're not just gonna keep giving you ketchup, okay?
[slurping]
Instead we will apparently give you
scar-becue sauce because bribing potatoes
is a good idea.
[sighs]
[bat squeaking]
[both gasp]
Wow, Bunny, isn't this incredible?
Bunny?
Oh, no. Bunny!
[dramatic music]
Hi. I know you're awesome dancers.
Ah, so scary-very claw-some.
-[vocalizing] -Oh, these are goo-berries. Great.
[roaring]
Ah!
[roars]
[growls]
[snarling]
[roars]
Draculaura, did you also bring a sloppy joe to life?
Yeah, and some carrots, a few brain muffins.
[laughs] That was the night I told Frankie and Clawdeen
about my witchcraft.
I had to tell Lagoona, and Heath figured it out.
Then it just snowballed, and soon pretty much the whole school knew.
I'm sorry. All this happened last semester and I had no idea?
Yup. Anyway, tater tyke and sloppy joe have some beef.
[roars]
[vocalizing]
Aah!
Okay, okay, we'll get you out of here.
Flying crow, lava bath, let us go, block their path.
-[Deuce] We lost them. -Hi.
And we found Bunny and Clawdeen. Wait, where is Clawdeen?
I'm not sure, but maybe my bunny ears could help.
Yeah, get your listen on.
I hear dancing.
[eerie music]
Clawdeen, what are you doing?
Hey, Venus, you okay?
[all gasp]
Whoa, no, not okay.
Are they hypnotized?
Yeah, the bats must have gotten scared.
We have to-- Oh.
Hey, you are very talented bats.
Ah.
I'm so scared. But Clawdeen
said being brave means doing what's needed,
even when you're scared.
Hi, I'm Bunny. I love bats.
Here's a snack.
[Deuce] Was I dancing?
[calm music]
Shh.
-You saved us. -Let's go.
The bats need space.
[twig snaps, bats squeaking]
[all yelp]
-[roars] -Aah!
[bats squeaking]
[screams]
That's it. I am never eating sloppy joes again.
[owl hooting]
-[Bunny] Here you go. -Well, bloom my buds,
this is just what I need.
Thanks, Bunny.
[light music]
-[roars] -Aah!
[tense music]
[vocalizing]
