"Come in, my child... Please, do come in..." a strange pale green monster with wavy darker green hair, a pointed nose, black gloves with red claws at the fingertips, a black belt, and black high-heeled shoes greeted.
'Whoa, a real live monster...' Mike thought to herself as she walked into the room.
"May I help you?" the monster asked as she sat in the chair across from his desk.
"I'm here to enroll in this school." Mike explained.
"Oh, you must be our newest student, I'm the Gromble," the monster shook hands with her. "Can't say I've met a wolf monster in quite sometime... LET'S KEEP IT THAT WAY!"
Mike flinched at the yelling, but put up with it, it made her think of the Red Guy who ran the hotel she lived in back home who often terrorized Cow and Chicken.
"Why don't I get a student to show you around then, huh?" the Gromble suggested.
A bumblebee-like monster with a single foot and spiked green hair flew in. "Oh, forgive me, your Grombleness, I couldn't help but overhear of a new student who is in need of some assistance... Perhaps Zimbo could show her around?"
"Thank you, Zimbo, but I'm going to show her room and her roommates first." Gromble replied.
"Who are my roommates?" Mike asked.
"Their names are Ickis, Oblina, and Krumm."
"Very well... Zimbo can wait..." the insect-like monster flew away.
Mike gave a nod and followed him down the hallway. She didn't know why yet, but she didn't like Zimbo so far. She looked among the various monster students as she followed the Gromble down the hallway until they came across three new monsters. There was one that was purple and looked like a bunny rabbit with blue lips and pointed feet. The other monster looked like a black and white candy cane with fat red lips and yellow eyes. And the final monster looked frogish with pink skin, blue lips, and seemed to carry his eyeballs above his head with his arms.
"These are your new roommates, dear," the Gromble introduced. "You'll see them in classes and mealtime and since you're roommates... You'll travel the city together and scare those pitiful humans!"
"Hello, your Grombleness," Ickis greeted, trying to get on the head monster's good side. "Did we do something wrong?"
"No, I'm just showing our newest student her new roommates," Gromble smiled. "Isn't that right... Umm... What was your name?"
"Mike." the tomboy gave her name.
"Okay, well... Mike, this is Ickis-" Gromble started to introduce.
"Hey there!" Ickis greeted.
"Our finest pupil, Oblina..." the Gromble got to the female monster.
"Welcome to our school, newest friend!" Oblina greeted politely.
"And Krumm..." Gromble showed her the other one.
"You smell like wet dog... It's awesome!" Krumm laughed.
"Um... Thanks?" Mike shrugged.
"Mike here is a wolf monster." Gromble told his students.
"Wow, really!?" Ickis was amazed.
"We haven't a wolf monster student here in about 200 years," the Gromble smiled to Mike, seeming to favor her already. "I think I'm gonna like you..."
"Okay..." Mike shrugged, unsure how to feel about that.
"Zimbo is going to show her around, you three better be in class by the time her tour is finished!" the Gromble threatened before leaving with Mike.
