Mike, Jen, and Jamie shared some dinner together as a family, enjoying themselves a lot as they had this time together.

"So, what do you think you wanna do during your break from school?" Jamie asked Mike.

"Well, I kinda wanna do something to have all my friends meet together," Mike said. "Not the whole gang, but like, have Lu and Og get to know Lil or something like that, but I don't know what we could all do together and where we could go."

"Hmm... Have you ever thought about going back to New York?" Jen replied.

"Maybe," Mike replied until suddenly, her cell phone then suddenly rang and she picked it up to answer it. "Excuse me for a second. Talk to me." she then said as she answered the phone.

"Hello, Mike, it's been a while." Cleo's voice replied.

"Hey, Cleo, how are you and Deuce doing? Hanging in there okay?" Mike smiled at first. "Do I need to talk to him again?"

"Nope, he's doing great, especially when you gave him a good talking to," Cleo replied. "Thank you for that, I'm feeling a lot better now."

"Well, that's good to know," Mike replied. "What's up?"

"Well, Daddy says we can go to Boo York," Cleo smiled. "He said I could bring some friends for the trip, and I couldn't think of anyone better than you to be one of my special guests."

"Aw, thanks, Cleo; I hope you don't mind if I bring along some friends of mine with me, do you?" Mike blushed in thanks.

"Not at all, it's nice to see your friends." Cleo replied.

"Even Lil?" Mike asked, slightly defensively.

"Uh, sure, you can bring that Lil girl too..." Cleo said, trying not to get angry or jealous. "I mean, I do have Deuce after all."

"I'm sure you'll get along great with Lu though," Mike said. "She does love her princesses."

"Great, I'll let you know when we leave." Cleo smiled.

"Awesome, I will see you guys later." Mike replied before hanging up.

Jen and Jamie continued to eat while sharing a story.

"So, uh, how's Kiva doing?" Jen asked.

"Well, I was surprised to hear that she grew to have feelings for me, but she says she'll be alright..." Jamie shrugged. "Coop's mom says she's this close to kicking him out of the house if he doesn't get a real job."

"Hopefully he gets a real job soon then." Mike chuckled to that.

"Coop said that he might get a job working at Pops' as long as he doesn't eat the food." Jamie replied.

"That sure sounds like a challenge." Jen said.

"Is there anything at The Mall?" Mike asked.

"I think people are booked, at least around where I work." Jen shrugged.

"So, Mike, who was on the phone?" Jamie asked.

"My friend Cleo de Nile, she invited me to come over to Boo York with her." Mike replied.

"I might have to work." Jen said.

"Uh, it was mostly an invitation for me anyway..." Mike said softly, rubbing her arm. "Boo York... Kinda reminds me of when I lived in The Bronx before I found out about you guys."

"And you became a foreign exchange student, we know..." Jamie chuckled.

"Yeah, don't get me wrong, I loved my adoptive parents, but... I always felt different from them, so that's why I signed up to become an exchange student to find myself," Mike shrugged. "Of course, that was before I found out about you guys."

"I'm sure they missed you a lot." Jen said.

"Yeah, I did like them, but I always felt different from them," Mike shrugged. "So, yeah, I think I'll go. Also having Lil, Lu, and Og meet the Monster High crew. I could use a break from Cartoon Network City anyway."

"I hope that Cleo girl and Lil get along decently." Jamie said.

"You and me both." Mike agreed.

"You want us to come help?" Jen asked.

"Nah, it's okay, guys, I can handle it," Mike said. "I lived on a wacky island for a year, I'm sure I can handle anything. I mean, I handle about almost everything, like being the leader for The Howling Wolves."

"You're just like Dad." Jen commented.

Mike smiled to her siblings and then decided to call and tell her girlfriend the news.


"Cleo invited us?!" Lil asked as her left eye twitched and her teeth gritted.

"I know that you two don't see eye-to-eye, but you gotta be on your best behavior." Mike replied.

"Oh, like I need to behave when she's just gonna be a spoiled princess..." Lil scoffed. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say that you liked her better than me. It's because you knew her first, isn't it?"

"No, of course not, you know I love you and that she's just a friend," Mike defended. "Besides, I got her and Deuce back together."

"Hmm..." Lil hummed.

"Lil, listen to me, I know you and Cleo have your differences, but settle down," Mike told her girlfriend. "I'll worry about Cleo, and you just try to be nice to her, and I'll make sure she does the same."

"Fine, but if she even starts to flirt with you, I'm gonna rip her hair from her scalp." Lil threatened.

"Lil, that's what you said about Blossom last week." Mike reminded.

"She has a thing for you too." Lil pointed out.

"She has a thing for Action Girl, not Mike Mazinsky, just calm down." Mike warned.

"Okay, I will." Lil sighed.

"It'll be alright, I promise you, I'll talk to you later, I love you." Mike told Lil before gently hanging up.


Lil soon hung up and rubbed her head as she wasn't sure about this. "What am I thinking? Of course Mike loves me..." she said to herself. "...Right?"


Mike called Lu and Og to tell them and they agreed to come, the tomboy packed up her things for tomorrow as it was gonna be a new adventure for her.

"Were you ever a scout?" Jamie asked Mike.

"That never really appealed to me, maybe I'll be a junior counselor sometime like Courtney Garcia before she got all territorial," Mike shrugged. "Why do you ask?"

"Well, you're always prepared." Jamie chuckled as that was the Boy Scout motto.

Mike just smirked and rolled her eyes slighty, she then went to bed after getting everything ready, as tomorrow was the big trip. Jamie ruffled her hair and soon walked off to let Mike get some sleep. It was a peaceful night for everyone, especially for Mike since it was not a full moon.


The next morning came and Mike was headed out, waving to Jen and Jamie then waited for Lil, Lu, and Og to come.

Mike played on her phone while waiting, but soon, Lu and Og came first.

"Hello, Mike." Og smiled.

"Hey, Og," Mike smiled back with a wave. "Hey, Lu."

"It's Princess Lu!" Lu reminded.

"Whatever." Mike deadpanned.

Lu rolled her eyes.

"I expect you to be nice to Lil now," Mike warned. "She's very special to me. I wouldn't be rude to Manny around you, now would I?"

"No." Lu admitted.

"Okay, be on your best behavior for me." Mike reminded.

"Fine..." Lu mumbled. "Oh, I sure hope Lancelot will be alright without me... I'd hate to travel without him."


Cut to Lu's place where Lancelot has a party hat on and is blowing a noisemaker while carrying balloons while leading a conga line with other turtles as he celebrated Lu being gone.


Lil then came to the bus stop, carrying her backpack.

"Who's that horrible girl? She looks like you, Mike," Lu commented. "Is that one of your family members?"

"That's my girlfriend." Mike replied.

"She looks cute." Lu smiled nervously to that.

"Nice save." Og muttered to his cousin.

"So, this is the famous Mike, Lu, and Og." Lil chuckled lightly once she saw the three together.

"Hey, Princess." Mike greeted her girlfriend.

"Hey yourself, Prince Charming." Lil smiled.

"You're a prince?!" Lu asked Mike out of shock.

"What? No!" Mike scoffed. "Sheesh, it's just a nickname."

"Well, why is she a princess when you know I'm the princess?" Lu glared.

"I can see this trip is turning out smoothly so far." Mike deadpanned.

"And you must be Og." Lil said to the younger boy.

"Yes, it's very nice to meet you." Og smiled politely.

"I hear you're a pretty smart kid." Lil said.

"Well, I am quite skilled and apart of my own Philosophical Society." Og clarified, shaking hands with Lil.

"It's true, he's an inventor." Mike told Lil.

"That's pretty cool." Lil smiled.

"Well, I don't like to brag..." Og smiled bashfully and shuffled his foot.

"Don't let the nose ring fool you, he's actually a pretty amazing little dude." Mike told Lil.

They then got onto the bus and headed straight for Monster High.

"I hope that these people are good enough to become my royal subjects~" Lu smiled, regally.

"Oh, boy." Mike muttered to that.

"Why do we have to go to Monster High first?" Lil asked Mike. "Aren't we gonna meet them at Boo York?"

"Well, Cleo wants us to travel with them on plane," Mike informed. "She got us first class."

"Great." Lil said through her teeth.

"Did she say a plane?!" Lu gulped.

"Hmm... It seems like Lu recalls the encounter we had when Mike told us about helicopters." Og commented, logically.

"Oh, who asked you anyway?!" Lu glared at her cousin. "You're the one who built that Giant Bumblebee for Mike in the first place!"

"Helicopter." Mike corrected.

"What's the difference?!" Lu deadpanned.

"I don't know why I put up with you sometimes..." Mike rolled her eyes before taking one last look at the city.

The bus's doors soon closed and they drove out of Cartoon Network City and Mike stared out the back window, but also took a breath of relief that she was getting out of the city for a while, but still, it was a bittersweet moment.

"So, who's all coming besides us and Cleo?" Lil asked Mike.

"Frankie, Clawdeen, Draculaura, Operetta, Deuece, Slenderina, and Catty Noir." Mike listed.

"What in the name of the Great Albonquetines is a Catty Noir?" Lu asked.

"You'll find out, Princess, you'll find out." Mike replied.

Lu looked confused for a minute, but then shrugged.

"Have you met this Catty before?" Lil asked.

"No, but Cleo told me about her," Mike replied. "Though, she is a werecat, but that's all I know."

"Is she related to Katrina?" Og wondered.

"I don't know for sure." Mike shrugged.

"She can't be as amazing as me: The Princess Lu." Lu smiled fondly.

Mike shook her head to that and looked out the window as they were on their way to Monster High as they left the city. As they left, there appeared to be something glowing in the sky that would be important for later that had come again after 1300 years.


At Monster High, Cleo, Deuce, Draculaura, Frankie, Clawdeen, Operetta, Slenderina, and Catty were waiting for Mike and her friends.

"Ooh, Mike just texted me, and she's on our way~" Cleo smiled.

"I don't know this Mike well... You said she was one of the Wolf-Shadowed People?" Catty asked.

"That's right," Draculaura nodded. "She's a werewolf with shadowbending abilities. I believe she told us that her mother was born a werewolf, and developed shadow powers later in life. She's the youngest in her main family, but she mastered both skills."

"That's right, her sister and I have known each other since we were pups." Clawdeen smiled.

"This Mike character sounds great, but she's no Nightmare." Slenderina commented.

"I just hope she doesn't chase me in that case." Catty smiled nervously since she was part cat.

"Nah, Mike's a good kid." Clawdeen reassured.

"She kinda scares me a little." Deuce shuddered.

"I'm still confused about a girl being named Mike, but, whatever," Catty shrugged. "We'll bond when she gets here."

"If she doesn't turn my snakes to stone first." Deuce pouted.

"Oh, Deuce, you know Mike wouldn't hurt you." Cleo soothed her gorgon boyfriend.

"Oh, you don't even know what happened between me and her though." Deuce replied.


Flashback to a couple of weeks ago

"What am I doing with her?" Deuce sighed to himself as he was walking back home after his 'date' with Nefara. "I want Cleo back in my life!"

"Then why did you hurt her like that?" A voice asked.

Deuce turned around and saw Mike leaning against the wall, glaring at him. "Who are you?" he then asked.

"You don't know me? Well, let me tell you, the name's Mike." Mike said.

"Well... Mike, what do you want and where did you come from?" Deuce asked the tomboy.

"I came from Cartoon Network City, and I want to talk to you." Mike told him.

"What about?" Deuce asked.

"You and Cleo de Nile," Mike said. "Why are you hanging around her sister?"

"Well, Nefara and I are dating of course," Deuce replied. "Cleo and I broke up."

"You know how upset she is now though since YOU KISSED NEFARA RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER!" Mike said firmly.

"Whoa, calm down there, why are you so concerned?" Deuce asked.

"Because Cleo is my friend and I see my friends as family, mess with them, you mess with me!" Mike warned with a glare.

"Pretty strong words for a mortal." Deuce commented.

"Hey! Who you callin' a mortal?" Mike glared.

"Uh, you?" Deuce replied, sounding confused.

"Who said that I was a mortal?" Mike replied.

"Well, you don't look like a monster or any one of us." Deuce shrugged.

"Why don't I show you then?" Mike huffed. "Shows what you know."

Deuce just shrugged since he didn't know Mike well.

Mike then turned around and thought long and hard in concentration and soon became a werewolf and then looked back. "Do you believe me now?!" she then asked him.

"What the-?!" Deuce gulped and backed up.

"What? You haven't seen a werewolf before?" Mike scoffed slightly.

"Look, don't attack me, I wouldn't hurt anyone." Deuce told her.

"Well, you hurt Cleo by doing what you did with her sister." Mike scolded.

"But it wasn't my fault," Deuce defended. "Nefera kissed me and told me to break it off with Cleo."

"Oh, yeah?" Mike replied. "And you listened to her because...?"

"She used her dad's relic which made me listen to Nefera," Deuce defended. "Look, I didn't mean to hurt Cleo like that."

"Hmm..." Mike hummed suspiciously.

"It's true!" Deuce frowned. "I love Cleo so much I'd do anything to make her happy! I was tricked!"

"Here's what you will do: break it off with Nefera and you will get back together with Cleo, and if you so much as make her cry again, there will be consequences!" Mike threatened.

"What kind of consequences?" Deuce asked.

"Deuce, I'm a werewolf, do you really wanna piss me off right now?" Mike warned. "You should know how we get, you're friends with Clawdeen for gosh sake's! Are you really that stupid?"

"Hey!" Deuce pouted about being called stupid.

"Just heed my warning... I'll be watching..." Mike warned before letting out a howl and then disappeared into the shadows.

Deuce then shuddered out of fear.

End of Flashback


"It was scary." Deuce told his friends.

"Hey, look, here comes the bus." Frankie told the others.

"Well, it looks like this is it." Slenderina said to the others.

The Monster High girls smiled as their old friend was coming.

"Hello, Lil." Cleo glared at the brunette.

"Hello, Cleo." Lil glared back.

"Ahem!" Mike cleared her throat to remind Cleo and Lil. "What did I tell you girls?"

"Sorry, Mike." Cleo and Lil replied.

"Thank you." Mike said firmly.

"Busted~" Lu smirked.

"So, these are some students from Monster High..." Og commented. "Quite amazing specimens to see up close."

"I think you'd like Ghoulia," Operetta smiled to the island boy. "You're both very intelligent."

"Who's this girl?" Mike said to the faceless white girl.

"This is Slenderina: Slender Man's daughter." Frankie introduced.

"Just transferred." Slenderina replied.

"So you know guys like Jeff the Killer, right?" Mike asked.

"But of course," Slenderina replied. "All of the Creepypasta people are part of my extended family... Blood or not of course, like BEN... BEN loves his video games."

"Well, it's nice to meet you." Mike said.

"Likewise." Slenderina replied as she shook the tomboy's hand with her tendril.

Mike glanced to that, but shrugged while shaking hands with the girl's tendril.

"I'm not sure if you remember me, but I'm Operetta." The girl smiled.

"We never got to properly talk," Mike smiled back. "Hey, Operetta."

"I just wanna say thank you to your friends for helping my daddy out." Operetta said.

"Um, which ones?" Mike asked, referring to her friends.

"The one who shoots lava and the big green girl." Operetta replied.

"Oh, you mean Justin and Alexandra." Mike collected.

"Uh, yeah, them..." Operetta replied.

"Yeah," Mike chuckled. "That was some school play."

"All right, we better get going so we don't miss our flight." Cleo told the others as she grabbed her backpack.

"Agreed." Og nodded.


And with that, the group grabbed their suitcases and headed towards the airport.

"Gee, this brings back memories..." Mike commented.

"What's that?" Og asked.

"Well, before I came to the island as an exchange student, my adoptive parents dropped me off at the airport and I took a plane to see you guys." Mike said.

"I thought you came in a big boat?" Lu reminded.

"That was before though," Mike said. "I took a plane ride, and a guy in a boat came to see me, then he took me with him and he sailed me over to your island."

"Then you came over to my island with your big city germs." Lu grimaced.

"Give it a rest, Princess." Mike told her.

"So... You go to Monster High too?" Og asked Catty.

"Well, of course I do," Catty nodded. "Well, when I'm not being a pop star sensation of course."

"You go to school and you're also a pop star?" Mike asked.

"Yep." Catty nodded.

"You sound like Hannah Montana." Mike muttered slightly.

"Who?" Catty asked.

"Oh, nobody that important." Mike replied.

The group got on the plane headed to Boo York. Cleo and Lil glared at each other, but behaved themselves for Mike's sake. Everyone else looked out the window as they were in for a new adventure.
