Chapter 2 is a bit shorter then I wanted it to be... I was sitting and sitting and thinking and I had even been picking at it. Chapter 3 is when everything should pick up a bit more and get be followed by longer chapters.

~Chapter 2: Plans~

So the past month just flew by and Halloween was right around the corner! It was October 1st and all the Guys and Ghouls were excited as ever for the big party that was already in the works for Halloween night.

"This year it's gonna be the best party ever!" Clawdeen said while shutting her locker.

"It is going to be off the fang!" Draculaura chimed in, "Everyone is going to be going. Not like last year where not even half of the school showed up."

As the Ghouls continued to chitter and chatter about the upcoming Halloween bash, Frankie was distracted by another cute little envelope. Same lilac color with another little star holding it's flap down. Peeling the star away and taking out the folded piece of paper she started to read, another big smile stretching across her face. "Yo Frankie!"

"Huh? What?" The girl quickly stashed the letter into the pages of her Clawculus book and closed her locker door.

"Did you just hear what I said?" Clawdeen was giving Frankie this look that seem to say 'you had better of heard what I just said.' Frankie just sorta stood there dumbfounded. She chuckled nervously a bit and Clawdeen knew she hadn't heard a word she'd said. "Ok ghouls this Halloween needs special attention. And we're the only group of ghouls to do it right!" Clawdeen said proudly.

By now Lagoona was walking up to the small group of three. "What's up mates? Ready for Clawculus?"

"Clawculus?" Draculaura said her eyes kinda bugging out of her head a bit. "How can you think of school work at a time like this!"

"Sorry gils but my grades are important to me too."

"Well so is this big party being thrown on Halloween for all of Monster High." Frankie explained. "Ooohhh is that what's got you all swimming around like blind tunas?"

"We're not blind, Lagoona. In fact you should be helping us with this. It's gonna be bigger than when FrightTube had that video of the kid with eight eyes and four legs doing that... what was he doing again?" Clawdeen said looking at them all.

"I don't remember." Draculaura answered, "Are you sure it was a boy?"

They all then stood there in silence until the bell rang. "Well off to Clawculus!" As the ghouls headed towards their next class together, Frankie hadn't noticed that the little lilac envelope had fallen from her book and onto the ground only to end up at the wrong feet.

After Clawculus~

"Ok so here's what we need to do-" Clawdeen was cut short by a jabbing feeling in her side.

"Hoodude!" They all said together. "Hiya!" The voodoo doll said happily. I'm sorry Clawdeen, but you left your Clawculus book in class." Hoodude handed the book over to her. "And I'm sorry if you got jabbed just now, Manny Tuar sorta pushed my one pin in too far."

She just stared at him in a way that said 'move along now'. Which Hoodude did. "Yeah sooo I'm late for that thing. See ya!" And he made a mad dash as fast as his stuffed legs could carry him.

The ghouls just sorta looked at Clawdeen for a moment as she turned around. She was way too obsessed with this Halloween party right now, and they had the feeling things were not going to end well. But in a way they understood. Cleo still wasn't talking to any of them nor had she and Deuce patched things up. Spectra's Ghostly Gossip had reported on Cleo with the faceless man a few more times since the first but no one could figure out who it was for anything. They were starting to wonder about Spectra and her info and if it was even right at all, because every time they saw Cleo she was by herself, even in class. But anyway getting back to the ghouls dilemma, without Cleo planning with Clawdeen it was as if the werewolf girl had to do double the work at double the standard. Or so that's how she most likely felt. The bad thing? It was like she took on Cleo's role too.

"So aside from the party planning what have you gils been up to?" Lagoona asked attempting to change the subject and move onto something else. But to no avail, Clawdeen was still yammering on about everything they needed and still had to get done.

"Is she always like this around Halloween?" Frankie asked. "No, it's just because Cleo-"

"Cleo?" Clawdeen snapped her head around. "We don't need Cleo! I've got this!"

"Yeah... but...!"

"No, I've got everything under control. All we need to do is talk to Mistress Bloodgood and let her know what all we're doing with the gym."

"Why not use the catacombs like ya'll did for Draculaura's sweet 1600?" That sweet southern voice made all the girls turn their heads to look at none other then Operetta. She must have been taking a break from practicing for a little while and came across all the ghouls.

"That's a great idea!" Clawdeen beamed, "It's bigger and better and we can do so much more with it!"

"Oh no..." They all said together.

"Why what's wrong?" Operetta asked them. The looks on their faces didn't seem the happiest at her idea. Heck she was only trying to help out a little. "Did I say somethin' bad?"

"No, we just can't get Clawdeen to focus on anything else."

"She's as bad about this party as when Clawd and Cupid were struck by arrows." Lagoona added.

"Oh my." Operetta looked at the werewolf out the corner of her eye. Clawdeen didn't seem to be really paying them any attention as she went on about lights, music, and decorations. Not to mention the best way to invite the entire school! "Well if ya'll want you can sneak away to the Creepateria with me for some lunch," Operetta offered. "It'd getcha ya'll away from her howlin' even if only for a little while."

The ghouls looked at one another then at Clawdeen then back to each other and nodded in agreement. They hated to ditch Clawdeen, but they didn't wanna feel dragged into the ground either. They could only imagine what it would be like when it came time to decorate!

As the ghouls snuck away to Creepateria they could hear Clawdeen's voice get lighter and lighter til eventually they couldn't hear it anymore, and with sighs of relief they rounded the corner and entered the Creepateria for some much need lunch.

After getting their trays the ghouls grabbed their usual table and right when they were about to sit down who should show up? Toralei Stripe and the twins Meowlody and Purrsephone. "So from I what I've gathered," Toralei started. "Frankie seems to have a secret admirer?" Meowlody and Purrsephone snickered behind their hands at the expression that suddenly appeared on Frankie's face. The rest of the ghouls turned to look at her with a bit of shock. Frankie? Secret admirer? And she hadn't told them!

Frankie gave a nervous laugh. "Well you see-" But she was cut off by Draculaura who seemed more like she was having a spazz attack rather then being excited, "You never told us?"

"Crikey mate, you didn't think we'd laugh or anything did you?"

"No!" Frankie said assuringly, "I just got one letter and then another one today." She opened up her Clawculus book to show them the second one, but it was gone. Picking up the book Frankie started to shake it til some of its' pages actually came loose and fell to the table around her tray. "It was here!" She said a bit upset. "I put it in my Clawculus book, just like I did the first one." The ghouls just looked at one another. By now Toralei and the twins were gone havig accomplished phase one of their new plan in motion.

"Sooooo this is the purrfect thing we need to ruin this ridiculous Halloween party that that mangy wolf is planning." Toralei said as she stretched her arms up over her head. Meowlody and Purrsephone sneered in agreement as Toralei continued with the rest of her plan. "Now that Frankie has been exposed for having a 'Secret Admirer' that's sure to show up in Spectra's latest blog. And to top it all off I know exactly who the letters are from!" The twins' eyes grew a bit wide awaiting to hear the admirer's name. "Alright time for phase two of my plan." The orange werecat said with a purr. She was absolutely positive that this would be the end of the ghouls friendship once and for all!
