Frankie and Draculaura soon found themselves sent to an old castle by the mapalogue. They looked around a bit amazed as they stood in the room where a bunch of gargoyle display blocks sat.
"This must be where Rockella's friends found her," Frankie said.
"This place is fangtastic," Draculaura said as she took in the dark room. Frankie looked at all the names on the handcrafted glass cases Rockella had placed her family in until she found Rockzita's name.
"I found her," Frankie said as she lifted the lid of the case up. The ghoul inside was shattered, but she seemed to be carved out of some type of blue stone. She had bright yellow eyes and black hair with pink streaks. Frankie saw a note on the inside of the case lid and read it.
"Well?" Draculaura asked.
"Rockella kept count of everything she found and it seems like Rockzita is all here, " she explained, "let's go to my family's laboratory,".
Back at Monster High, the students were getting ready for the homecoming dance that night. Clawdeen had brought some dresses in that some of the ghouls had ordered and was helping them try them on. Elizadeath, Waverly, and Liberty sat on the edge of the stage as Clawdeen helped Rockella with her dress behind the stage curtain. Soon Clawdeen walked out from behind the curtain.
"Ok ghouls ready to see tonight's star?" she asked and the ghouls nodded, "I give you Rockella Stone!" Rockella walked out in a flowing Snow Bite styled dress only it was black and white with matching heels. Her hair was down and in wavy curls.
"Whoa," Elizadeath said, "you look fierce!,".
"I agree," Waverly said.
"Thanks, ghouls," she smiled looking at herself in a full-length mirror that was sitting on the stage.
"Ok your up next Waverly," Clawdeen announced, "then you Elizadeath,".
"Oh ok!," Elizadeath said jumping and almost falling, but she caught herself, "I'm gonna go get the fashion zine out of my locker to show you the hair accessory I want,". She reached her locker and grabbed the magazine. Just as she closed her locker she heard a sound. It sounded like someone was crying. She followed the sound and spotted HooDude VooDoo. He was sitting in the floor by a set of steps. He looked so sad. She walked over to him.
"Excuse me?" she said, "are you ok?"
"Oh um, "HooDude said trying to fake a smile, "I'm fine,".
"But you seem sad," she said holding out her hand, "I'm Elizadeath,".
"HooDude VooDoo," he said shaking it.
"You can tell me what's wrong if you like," she offered. He looked at her for a minute before sighing.
"There is this ghoul I wanna ask to the dance," he said, "but she'd never say yes,"
"Who's the ghoul?" she asked. She noticed him looking up so she looked up too and seen a robotic ghoul talking to a skeleton student at the top of the stairs.
"Whoa, never seen a robotic ghoul before,". She stated.
"Her name is Robecca and she's the sweetest ghoul in school," she sighed, "but she'll never even notice me,".
"Why don't just go talk to her?" Elizadeath asked.
"She wouldn't even notice me," he sighed again as he got up and walked off as a rain cloud appeared over his head which caused one above her too and she quickly ran for cover trying to shew the cloud away. When she got back to her friends Waverly was looking at herself in the mirror wearing a sleeveless long black dress that had flowing ruffles at the bottom and she had a black boa draped over her arms. Her red and pink hair was done up in a braided bun.
"What Lizzie thank?" she asked her.
"Wow you look clawesome," she said as she sat beside Rockella. Everyone noticed she was kinda down.
"You ok Matey?" Liberty asked
"I'm ok, "she answered, "I just met a sad guy who has a crush on a ghoul and he doesn't think she'll say yes to going to the dance with him,".
"Which guy and who's the ghoul?" Clawdeen asked.
"The guy is HooDude VooDoo," she explained, "and the ghoul is a robotic girl named Robecca,".
"HooDude likes Robecca?" Clawdeen seemed to ask herself, "didn't expect that,".
"He looked so sad," Elizadeath said.
"Oh no," Waverly said with a sigh, "Lizzie now is not time for the matchmaking,".
"I agree," Liberty said.
"Ok ok," Elizadeath said, "I can't help it it's kind of in my blood,". Clawdeen helped Elizadeath and Liberty get ready for the dance. Elizadeath was dressed in a green, ripped up style dress. Her hair was down with a dead floral headband on her head. Liberty was dressed in a pirate-themed formal dress complete with matching hat, both in shades of yellow and black. As the students who were done waited for the dance to start Spectra floated around snapping pictures of all of Clawdeen's designs for her blog The Gory Gazette.
Frankie and Draculaura finally showed up as Cleo walked behind the stage curtain. She was wearing a golden and white Egyptian style dress with a matching headdress.
"The planned worked perfectly," Frankie said, "and the dressed you made fit amazingly well,".
"Good," Clawdeen said taking two dresses from the rack she had, "now go put on yours,".
Later the night the dance was in full swing as guys and ghouls danced and mingled. Rockella and the ghouls were hanging by the snack table enjoying some glowing green juice they had in a big bowl on the table. Rockella kept taking deep breaths.
"Nervous?" Liberty asked.
"A little," she said.
"No worries," Waverly said, "you will be perfect,". Rockella smiled at her friend's reassurance just as someone tapped on her shoulder. It was Spectra.
"They need you to get backstage and prepare for the slow dance ballads," she informed her. She waved to her friends and followed the ghostly ghoul back to the stage.
"Let's head to the floor and dance a little bit more before the slow dances start maties!" Liberty said as she grabbed Waverly's hand and headed for the dance floor. Elizadeath placed her cup down and looked up to see HooDude sitting in a corner by himself. She followed his gaze to see him watching Robecca who was dressed in a green and white metal dress. She was talking to Cleo and Ghoulia. She figured maybe if HooDude wouldn't ask Robecca that maybe she would ask him. She walked over to them and waited for them to finish talking.
As soon as Cleo and Ghoulia walked off Elizadeath walked up to Robecca."Excuse me," she called, You're Robecca right?".
"I am," the ghoul answered in a very sophisticated accent.
"I'm Elizadeath," she introduced herself, "and someone at this dance likes you and is too scared to ask you to dance,".
"Who?" she asked and Elizadeath explained the HooDude situation.
Rockella was drinking some water as she always did before singing.
"Ready?" Cleo asked and she nodded. Cleo signaled for Rochelle to go ahead and announce her. Rochelle walked out onto the stage and tapped the microphone.
"Attention every monster," she began, "couples dances are going to start so couples only on the floor please,". She waited until only couples were on the floor. "And now boys and ghouls we give you the one, the only, Rockella Stone!,". The lights dimmed and the stage curtain rose up to reveal Rockella as a spotlight shone on her as she began to sing. Her voice was soft and smooth and soon the couples on the floor began to slow dance. Spectra recorded her singing for her blog and her friends cheered and listened. Elizadeath looked where HooDude was and smiled and cheered more when she saw Robecca ask him to dance.
After few more songs, Rockella ended her performance and the whole student body cheered and clapped. Her friends jumped on stage and hugged her as the curtain fell.
"You were fangtastic ghoulfriend!" Elizadeath said and the other two nodded in agreement.
"Thank you," she said.
"We have a surprise for you as a thank you for your performance Rockella," Frankie said.
"You do?" she asked a bit surprised. Frankie nodded to Draculaura who guided someone over to them who was covered in a long black cloak.
"Ok now." Frankie said and the cloak flew off to reveal her sister. Who was wearing a sparklingly orange gown and her black and pink hair was up in a french braid.
"Rockzita!" Rockella yelled.
"Rockella my dear sister!" she called back as they ran to each and hugged.
"I don't understand," Rockella said wiping tears from her eyes, "how?"
"Let's just it's something my family does time to time," Frankie said.
"Thank you so much!" she said giving Frankie a big hug.
"No problem," she said with a smile, "now go and enjoy the rest of the dance," with that Rockella introduced her sister to her friends and they headed back to the dance floor.
