Frankie rode her bicycle to the Maul. She didn't know what exactly to get Tammy, but she had to try.

"Okay, let's see..." Frankie went to the first store she saw. There were racks and racks of monstrously stylish clothes.

"Ooh! This skirt is to die for!" Frankie said, grabbing a plaid mini skirt. "Or this bracelet! This necklace!"

"You sound like a satisfied customer." a voice said.

Frankie turned to see her friend Clawdeen Wolf. "Oh! Hey, Clawdeen! Just picking out a birthday gift for Tammy!"

"Looks to me you're shopping for yourself." said the werewolf.

Frankie stopped nd looked at the armful of designer clothes. "Yeah...you're right." She dropped them all. "But I'm just not sure what to get for Tammy! I've never shopped for a normie before!"

"Well, try thinking like a normie. What's something that she really wants?"

"Um, well, let's see..." Frankie had to think this through. "Well, she's got plenty of toys and games, so that's out."

"How about a gift card?" Clawdeen suggested.

"Nah, gift cards are old hat." Frankie thought some more. "Well, she often tells me that I have such stylish clothes..."

"That's it then!" Clawdeen said. "Just get her a drop dead gorgeous outfit just for her!"

"Yeah! You're right!" Frankie hugged her friend. "Thanks, Clawdeen! See you at the party!"


Frankie went to the monster children's store and got the most stylish monster dress for Tammy all gift wrapped.

"Tammy's going to be so surprised!" Frankie said to herself as she left the Maul. She checked her phone. "It's two o'clock. So I've got an hour to get to Tammy's house!"

The teen monster got on her bike and started peddling away.

"HELP! HELP!" a child's voice cried out.

Frankie screeched to a halt, she followed those cries for help to an old lane. She peeked around the corner and saw a young Asian girl cornered by three big boys.

The little girl tried to run away, but one of the boys stopped her with one hand and pushed her down.

"Leave me alone!" the girl screamed.

The boys just laughed and were about to gang up on her until,

"HEY!"

The boys turned around and gasped.

Frankie Stein towered over the boys. Her teeth were clenched and her neck bolts were sparking like mad.

"SHE SAID...LEAVE HER ALONE!" Frankie yelled, her fingertips crackled with electricity.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" The bullies screamed and ran away, they were miles and miles away.

Frankie stopped sparking and turned to the girl. She frowned when she saw her whimpering and shaking.

"Oh, don't be scared, sweetie." Frankie said, soothing the little girl. "You don't have to be afraid. I just saved you from those bullies."

Frankie kneeled down and offered her green hand to the child. "I'm Frankie, Frankie Stein."

The girl blinked. "Like...Frankenstein?"

"Yep, like Frankenstein." said the monster. She helped the child up. "What's your name?"

"Sue." the girl said.

"Well, nice to meet you, Sue." said Frankie. "Are you okay?"

Sue nodded. "Thank you for helping me."

"You're welcome." Frankie checked the time. "Whoa! I better get going to Tammy's party!" She looked at Sue. "Where's your mommy, Sue?"

"Sue! Sue!"

Framkie turned and saw an adult that looked like Sue. She gasped seeing Frankie, but Sue came up to her.

"Mommy! This is Frankie! She saved me from these mean kids!" Sue told her mother.

"She's right, ma'am." said Frankie. "Sorry for startling you."

"T-Thank you." Sue's mother said softly.

"Well, I better get going." Frankie said, getting her bike. "Goodbye, Sue!"

"Bye, Frankie!" Sue said, smiling and waving.

And Frankie Stein sped off.
