Grammar issues ahead

The current situation between Upgrade and Draculaura's friends was… tense.

After managing to clarify that he was not a danger to anyone, Draculaura had to intercede for him since he could not speak English, the Ghouls and the alien returned to Frankie's house, the latter was carried by Upgrade under the strict gaze of Clawdeen, for the mechamorph was somewhat uncomfortable, throughout the journey he could feel the girl's eyes fixed on his back.

"Are you sure about this? " Asked a very unhappy Cleo as she walked with Draculaura and Clawdeen, the latter had her gaze glued to the black and green alien, who was a few steps ahead of them and in his arms was Frankie, who remained unconscious. " I don't think Frankie likes the idea. "

"Cleo, Frankie is very understanding and kind, I'm sure that if we explain everything to her she will understand. " Draculaura replied with a big smile. " Also, Upgrade is not bad, just scary. " That comment earned a complaint from the alien, although none understood it, the little vampire just chuckled. " Scarily kind. " The young teenager then remembered that she still had her friend's phone with her, she looked for it among her clothes and when she found it she handed it to Clawdeen, who looked at her in surprise. " Upgrade found it. "

"You made friends with that thing? " Clawdeen questioned as she took the object, she still distrusted the alien, mainly because he tried to lock her up in his body and used tentacles to try to subdue her, but so far she had been very nice.

" Girls, why are you still being so rude to him? " Draculaura questioned, frowning slightly, her friends limited themselves to keeping silent and looking away from a little embarrassed, mainly because even trying to be authoritative, Draculaura was too adorable. " He's not bad, he's just strange, all of us here are, we're monsters! "

"Ugh, I hate when you're right. " The she-wolf of the group complained.

"You see it? Now, why don't you try to apologize to him for hitting him with a frying pan? "

"I have to do it? " she asked, Draculaura simply nodded, the young wolf let out a defeated sigh and looked at Upgrade, the alien seemed to be more focused on walking preventing anything from hurting Frankie than on listening to them.

Taking a deep breath and making sure to keep her instincts calm, the girl stepped forward until she was on par with the alien, he didn't bother to look directly at her, he just moved his eye briefly, but nothing else.

Clawdeen turned to see her friends, precisely Draculaura, who had both thumbs up, was not going to give up on her idea.

"Hey, big boy. " Upgrade turned momentarily, he could see the girl next to him, she had a somewhat complicated expression on her face. " I… I'm sorry about before, you know, hitting you with a frying pan and everything that. " she was silent for a few seconds, waiting for something from the alien, but he was silent, she had to resist the urge to slap himself, he did not speak the same language as her, so he was not going to answer. " I hope not you're mad about it, I'd hate if you shot me with that laser. "

Upgrade stopped at hearing that and looked at her, for about fifteen seconds, undoubtedly the longest fifteen seconds of Clawdeen's life, her instincts had not stopped screaming at her to get away from him from the first moment, to see how that space creature Staring at her only increased this.

Draculaura and Cleo were also forced to stop, the mummy was nervous and this could be seen in her hands that did not stop shaking, Draculaura, on the other hand, was calm, she was sure that the alien was not angry with Clawdeen or Frankie.

"So ... friends? " Clawdeen asked she held out her hand, to her surprise, this time Upgrade did answer, he released one of his arms, careful not to let Frankie fall, and with a single finger, he struck Clawdeen's forehead, confusing her.

The alien's eye curled up in a happy expression, after this he took advantage of the fact that Clawdeen was in a momentary state of confusion to place his big hand on the girl's head and mess up her hair.

Clawdeen blinked in confusion at this, but then frowned, no one messing with her hair like that. The alien was quite amused by his reaction, which she did not like, but decided to let it go this time.

"I will take that as a "we are at hand". " Again Upgrade moved his arm, raising his thumb in affirmation.

Draculaura couldn't do anything but smile widely, now with Clawdeen also on the good side of Upgrade, things would be better if only Cleo was a little more open about her new friend.

The rest of the way was much more relaxed, Draculaura spoke with Upgrade, who was limited to listening carefully to everything, although he did not understand anything when the vampire girl began to talk about fashion and who knows what other things, Clawdeen occasionally joined, giving small Quite funny comments, the alien already liked this girl, and Cleo, she just walked as far away from Upgrade as possible, she didn't like the alien at all.

When they reached their destination, Upgrade observed the girl's home quite perplexed, it looked ... normal, like a normal house, in a normal neighborhood, his eye opened and closed a couple of times, unable to believe what he saw. Some questions formed in his head, but for the moment he put them aside, maybe they were just coincidences.

The group entered the house through the door that led to the garden, which fortunately was not secured. There, Clawdeen suggested that the best thing would be to take Frankie back to her room, the alien nodded and was guided up to the upper floor, during the journey he began to look around, memorizing every detail, if he had to use a word to describe That house would be ... human, everything was too familiar for him, a living room, a sofa for three people accompanied by two at the ends that only had space for one, a small table made of glass with a vase, a television in front of them, it was a living room like any other, then there were the stairs, covered by varnished wooden planks and giving access to the other floor, the photos that hung on the wall, all this had him puzzled, it was more than clear that those girls who were next to him they weren't human, they might seem like it but they weren't, so how were the exact similarities with their own home possible?

Some options went through his head to try to explain all that, perhaps he had ended up on a distant planet and with certain similarities to Earth, but its inhabitants were similar to Anur Transyl, another option is that he was dead and this was his purgatory. He was not going to complain if it was the case, he was with 4 pretty attractive girls it would be even better if he was not trapped as a techno-organic alien.

Then there was the last option, he had ended up on some alternate timeline, just had happened a few years before when he met Rex, now that he thought of him, how was he doing?

So absorbed was he that he did not realize that they had already reached the room of the young woman in his arms. Clawdeen opened the door to it and gestured for him to enter.

" Leave her on the bed. " Upgrade walked over to the furniture and laid Frankie gently on it, then stepped back, allowing Clawdeen to get closer to her friend. " I'll stay with her, you can come down if you want. "

Upgrade did not move at first, Clawdeen was confused by this and looked at him strangely, it was then that the alien pointed to the girl's nose, confused by this action, the young woman brought her hand towards the place, she felt a small prick when she touched the area, apparently during her fight against the alien she had cut her nose a bit.

Upgrade backed away quickly and disappeared down the hall, Clawdeen blinked in confusion when she saw that he had gone to the opposite side from which they had entered, the sound of a door opening made her worry, what the hell was she doing? She approached the corridor to see, all the doors except one were closed, she did not hesitate to go towards her, when she looked through it, she saw Upgrade rummaging in the bathroom, she seemed to be looking for something, her eyes widened in surprise when she saw him open the first aid kit that was there and from this, he took a band-aid.

Having found what, he was looking for, he started to leave, but then he realized that Clawdeen was there, wasting no time, he handed him the small object.

The young woman observed this action very confused, how did he know that he had to come to that place to look for that object? Did he have enough knowledge of the land to know how to act and where to go if he was injured?

The girl's thoughts were interrupted when Upgrade suddenly approached, the alien had removed the protection of the object and before Clawdeen could react, he put it on his nose, making sure to cover the small wound. She blinked at that, her gaze meeting Upgrade's, who seemed to be quite pleased with his action as his eye had curled up.

Sometime later.

Frankie had begun to open her eyes little by little, she could feel as if her body had tried to lift a car driven by an elephant, each one of her muscles was tense, rigid from the excessive use of its electricity.

When she managed to regain her vision, a rather familiar ceiling was right above her, she tried to understand why it looked so familiar, when a certain werewolf girl appeared right in the middle.

"Frankie, are you awake, or is it simple rigor mortis? " she asks.

"Clawdeen? " The girl let out a relieved sigh when she heard her and held out her hand helping her to sit up, everything around her began to spin and slight dizziness took over her. "What happened? "

"Quiet, okay? You passed out from using too much electricity. " Her friend handed her a glass with some water and Frankie did not hesitate to drink it. " How you feel? "

"Like Manny ran over me "she answered, the girl then looked around her, realizing that she was in her room. " We're back… Clawdeen, what happened? " The concern in her voice was clear.

"Well, it's a long story. " The vague answer only confused Frankie, Clawdeen for her part thought her words well before speaking. " To put it in simple words, Draculaura somehow befriended the brain-eating monster. "

" What? " Frankie was sure that her eyes and her mouth were open right now, her friend and the space monster were friends? " How did it happen? "

"It's funny the boy is not bad. " The sound of some screams and curses belonging to Cleo was heard, followed by a laugh from Draculaura, this caught the attention of both girls. " I think we should go down now; can you walk? "

"I think. " She replied, the young woman moved her body to get out of her bed, a fleeting pain ran through her body and made her groan, Clawdeen quickly helped her to stand up and prevent her from falling to the ground.

"You look terrible. " Clawdeen commented humorously, Frankie just rolled her eyes, her friend always had to have that childish humor.

"You don't look better. " She answered, and indeed, Clawdeen had some small bruises on her face and arms, along with a band that covered her nose.

"Yeah, my dream of being a nose model is ruined. " She responded with humor, earning a small laugh from her friend.

Both youngers then went down, during the whole journey they could hear how Cleo argued heatedly against something or someone, but without receiving any response, this was accompanied by the symphony of laughter from Draculaura, who seemed to find the situation very funny.

When they got to the kitchen, Frankie could see her other two friends through the window, Cleo has crossed her arms and was looking at something on the floor, while Draculaura was wiping tears from laughing so much.

Upon arriving with them, Frankie noticed something strange, there was something at the feet of both young women and about two meters away, it was small, a little bigger than an ICoffin, it was attached to the ground by three small mechanical legs similar to a tripod It had a black coloration with green lines similar to a circuit, in addition to having a screen that showed a green circle.

The little thing seemed to be quite entertaining for some reason as it was moving slightly from left to right as if making fun of someone, precisely Cleo, as she was enraged again, ready to rant once more, but stopped when she saw Clawdeen and Frankie arrive.

"Until you wake up. " Cleo commented with some indifference, but Frankie could see she was worried.

" Being a little nicer won't kill you, you know? " Clawdeen scolded, Frankie for her part could only smile, she was relieved that her friends were fine after that strange night, her gaze then settled on the strange little device, which was looking at her, it was strange by itself and those lines and color were strangely familiar to him.

Draculaura, happy to see her friend standing up, approached her and gave her a big hug, causing her to momentarily balance her leg, fortunately, Clawdeen managed to keep her stable.

"Frankie! I was so worried! " She exclaimed as she crushed her friend.

"Draculaura, you're tearing my seams. " The little vampire quickly separated and looked at her with some embarrassment and shyness. " I'm also glad to see that you're fine. " Her gaze returned to the small device, who still had not moved. " By the way, what is that little thing? "

"Oh right, Frankie, this is Upgrade." The vampire pointed with some enthusiasm to the black object and it made a small pose as if he were amazing.

"Upgrade? " She asked confused, it was then that she remembered something, before falling fainted she had managed to hear Draculaura call the alien by that name. " Wait, the alien? "

To increase her surprise, a black slime emerged from the small device completely separating from it and leaving behind an ICoffin that Cleo was not long in picking up, the mummy gave an annoyed look at the alien, who silently mocked her.

Frankie and Clawdeen's eyes were wide, unable to process what they had just seen.

"I suppose you remember Upgrade, right? " Draculaura approached her extraterrestrial friend. " I know he looks scary, but he's kind. "

The alien raised his hand in greeting, both girls continued to look at him in surprise, Clawdeen was the first to come out of her stupor, she looked at Cleo, who hid her ICoffin behind her back did not want Upgrade to touch her phone again.

"Okay, I didn't expect that," she commented. " Draculaura, any explanation that we just saw? "

" Well ... I don't know, I was trying to show Upgrade something, I borrowed the ICoffin from Cleo and he somehow merged with him. " She answered, she wasn't very sure what had happened either.

"Wow. " Frankie whispered but was easily overheard by all. " What kind of biology do you have to have to be capable of something like that? And what were those little legs? Why did it look so different? "

The questions took Upgrade by surprise, who took a step back, Frankie realized what she had just done and a blush covered her face, she gave a small laugh, embarrassed by that.

"I'm sorry. " she apologized. " I think I got excited. "

"Girl, you should stop spending so much time in the lab. " Clawdeen suggested with amusement. " So, the big boy can merge with the machines, that's great. "

"You wouldn't say that if it had merged with your ICoffin. " Cleo commented disdainfully, Upgrade gave a kind of distorted laugh and the girl just glared at him. " We are all gathered, now, what are we supposed to do with him? "

Four pairs of eyes focused on Upgrade, who looked in all directions in confusion and then pointed at himself.

"Yes, you, minotaur brain. " Cleo answered quite annoyed. " I propose to lock him in a garbage can and throw him into the sea. " Upgrade opened his only eye with surprise, dear, that girl never had mercy.

"We're not going to do that to him! " Draculaura exclaimed, putting herself in front of her space friend. " He has done nothing wrong. " Being defended by someone half his size was funny for the alien, but he was grateful to the girl, he was going to return the favor someday.

"He just scared us to death." Clawdeen casually commented, but the sarcasm was notorious, Upgrade limited himself to narrowing his one eye, that girl was quite a joker, he was already liking her.

" Frankie, you are the brain, support me on this! " Cleo ordered. " Tell these two that we can't let that thing stay here! "

"Frankie, tell Cleo that Upgrade is a good boy and he won't hurt us! " Draculaura exclaimed.

The poor teenager quickly found herself cornered by her two friends, she didn't know what to answer, her brain told her that Cleo was right, but her heart told her that Draculaura was right, she really couldn't decide between the two.

For her part, Clawdeen was looking at everything with some concern, she had realized that Frankie was against the sword and the wall, the poor Ghoul did not want to side with any of her friends since it would very likely make the other one, especially Cleo. The werewolf's gaze went to Upgrade, it was somewhat difficult for her to read the alien, his facial expression was too neutral, but a single eye without a mouth or nose can be called a face, even his body was difficult to read, her arms they were hanging at the sides as if they were relaxed, but at the same time they seemed ready to stretch out and interfere if the discussion got too worst.

"This reminds me of Gwen and me ... "

Clawdeen looked at Upgrade in surprise, he had again spoken in that strange language he used, but he managed to recognize a word, Gwen, it was a name from the way he said it, but the question was, who?

Frankie wanted to say something, she wanted to help the alien, after all, she felt a little guilty for having electrocuted him, she wanted to make up for it in some way, at least by offering him a place to stay, but her logical sense was screaming at her that it was a very bad idea.

Her heart on the other hand told her to help him, that he was alone on a planet that he did not know and that only they were the closest he had to some friends, for some reason she reminded herself, on her first day of school Like Upgrade, he had made a very bad first impression, had screwed up with Cleo, and publicly humiliated himself. Even so, she had managed to become friends with Draculaura and Clawdeen, both were very good girls and accepted others quite easily.

She remembered her school motto, Monster High, where everyone is welcome, even with their flaws. Upgrade was the one who possessed the most oddities, he was an alien, he could merge with things and that's not to mention his eye beam, but was he a living being that felt just like them, were they different? Or was the alien just another monster looking for its place?

A beep made the discussion stop in an instant, the gazes returned to Upgrade, who was looking at the strange object attached to his chest, it was blinking intermittently.

"Please tell me that's not a bomb. " Clawdeen implored fearfully, Upgrade shook his head and brought one of his hands to the object, and began to play with it.

The girls looked at him confused, what was he doing? They asked themselves. The alien continued for a few more seconds and then stopped.

" Stupid watch. " He complained in his language, the girls looked at him without understanding exactly what he said, but they noticed him annoyed.

" OK, that was weird. " Clawdeen commented, then looked at her friends. " Since they stopped arguing, how about we talk about this more calmly? I'm sure Frankie has something to say. "

The monster girl took a deep breath and looked at her friends, who were waiting impatiently for what she had to say, her heterochromatic eyes traveled to Upgrade, who seemed to be waiting as well.

"Listen, I know that maybe we had a somewhat bumpy start. "

"That's one way to put it," commented Clawdeen with some amusement.

"I would say it was electrifying. " Upgrade added, although no one understood a word, which made him feel somewhat foolish for forgetting that detail.

" But, we more than anyone should understand what is happening, don't you think? "

"What do you mean? " questioned the mummy of the group.

" He's alone on the planet," she answered, she was silent for a few seconds, trying to find the right words to make herself understood. " I can understand what he's going through, I mean, I went through something similar myself when I started attending Monster High. "

" Do you mean when your stitching came loose and hit Cleo? " Draculaura asked innocently, her best friend couldn't stand the urge to laugh when she remembered that, Cleo for her part was quite upset.

" Yes, that. " The girl replied ashamed. " But I managed to fix it thanks to you. " The girl looked at Upgrade, who seemed to be laughing silently at the anecdote they had just told, when she noticed Frankie's gaze, he focused his attention on her, expectant of what she would say next. " I'm sure he didn't have bad intentions, maybe we should give him a chance. "

"Frankie, listen. " Cleo approached her friend and most condescendingly, possibly rested her hand on the girl's shoulder and spoke. " I understand that you are new in all this non-life, I know that you are very pure of heart, but we are not talking about a normal ghoul, we are talking about a damn alien that shoots lasers through the eye! " The latter was said almost shouting and pointing to the aforementioned alien. " I thought you would be the voice of reason here! "

" well… "

Upgrade noticed that the girl was now a problem, and decided to do the most sensible, approached Cleo and used his giant hand to fully cover your face avoiding continue talking, this action was not at all well received since The girl started to turn red with anger, more than willing to hit him for daring to do that. Although her friends had quite different thoughts.

"Heavens, Cleo managed to tire the alien in less than ten minutes." - Commented surprised and quite entertained the wolf of the group. " Upgrade, you are a hero to me. " a thumbs-up was his reply.

The muffled sound of Cleo's voice was gradually becoming more and more strongly until the alien was forced to release her, the girl looked angry, if she hadn't so afraid, she would hit him.

" How dare you! " She exclaimed furiously, the mechamorph just laughed at her reaction that girl didn't like it when others didn't treat her like a princess, he was going to have a field day with her, she could imagine it. " Seriously! Let's find a dumpster and throw it inside! "

"No! He is my friend! " Draculaura replied, both began to argue again with a very nervous Frankie who was trying to do everything possible to separate them.

"Here we go again. " Clawdeen said as she let out a deep sigh.

After thirty minutes, and thanks to Frankie accidentally electrocuting her friends because of her nerves, both girls had stopped arguing. They were currently sitting in the living room of Frankie's home, Clawdeen was on one of the one-person couches, Draculaura and Frankie were sharing the one for three, and Cleo was opposite the wolf girl on the other one-person couch, Upgrade was in front of them, to his bad luck they only gave him a cushion to sit on, even so, he couldn't complain, at least that mummy girl had stopped threatening to throw it away.

" So does anyone have a plan? " Clawdeen asked, Cleo raised her hand. " Other than putting the alien in a garbage can. "

"At least I give my ideas! " The mummy defended herself.

"Girls, don't start again," Frankie asked, she didn't have enough energy to bear this. " We can't let him go free in the world, he could hurt someone. "

Upgrade was offended by that comment, he would never hurt anyone ... anyone who did not deserve it at least.

"Decided then, we stay with him. " Cleo wanted to refute her brown-haired friend, but she just kept silent, it was a three against one at best.

"It's great! " Draculaura exclaimed happily, his excitement quickly spread to Upgrade, who raised his hand, and the two high-fived. " You have no idea how much I want to teach you, you are going to love the Earth, we have everything! "

"Relax those fangs Draculaura. " Clawdeen was quick to interfere, she knew her friend, too well, she had to prevent her from making a mistake. " He's still an alien, we can't let anyone find out. "

"But I wanted to take him shopping! " That single phrase got on Upgrade's nerves, he crossed his arms forming an X, clearly, he didn't like that idea at all. " No? But you are going to love it! You could put on clothes, some nice shoes, oh! A skirt! " and officially Upgrade was ready to jump into a trash can on his own.

The idea of seeing the alien in a skirt was enough to make Clawdeen laugh, then Frankie joined, who also found it funny, Cleo on the other hand was quite serious, but the image that formed in her mind was quite comical.

The alien again crossed his arms in denial, he was not going to wear a skirt now or in a million years.

" Clawdeen is right Draculaura, is an alien, maybe a space monster but we do not know how other monsters or humans could react. " Frankie said, Draculaura analyzed her friend's words, there was a lot of truth in them, even so, she wished she could introduce Upgrade to more people and take him shopping even if he didn't want to. " Also, we don't know if it is a boy or a girl, the skirt would not be a good idea. "

" Now that you mention it, what are you? " Clawdeen asked looking at the alien.

As on several occasions during that night, four pairs of eyes looked intently waiting for an answer, the alien was somewhat offended, it was clear that he was a man, although mechamorphs lacked gender. Still, some had features more feminine and others masculine.

"How do we even know if it has a gender? " Cleo spoke when she did not see any response from the alien, Upgrade looked at her carefully, apparently, she was not only self-centered and bad attitude.

"So… are you a boy or a girl? " Draculaura asked, Upgrade raised a finger, hinting that it was the first. " Boy? "

"Makes sense. " Clawdeen commented. " I mean, he doesn't look very feminine. "

"I think we should have guessed. "

" I guess that skirt won't be your style, right? " Upgrade looked at his first friend in that new world, the girl seemed to want to take him shopping at all costs, he just shook his head. " How about a jacket? "

"Draculaura, stop trying to dress the alien. " Scolded the mummy of the group, if she weren't so angry, Upgrade would certainly thank her. " Since I'm the only one with common sense here." Clawdeen was about to comment, but Cleo raised her hand and used her index finger to silence her. " I have to say it now, where are we going to hide him, and even more importantly, how are we going to prevent someone from being eaten? "

Upgrade narrowed his one eye, he wasn't going to eat anyone!

" We could educate him," suggested Draculaura.

"Sounds good, I'll go get some books. " Frankie said, and when she was about to leave, Clawdeen stopped her.

"Frankie, my dear ghoul, books? Seriously, we want to teach him not bored. " The girl pointed to the television in the living room. " We also have the technology and cable TV. "

"Of course, teach the terrifying alien what television is, as it did not occur to me. " Cleo added sarcastically.

Upgrade was quite interested in that idea, he turned around and looked at the television, was it possible that both worlds shared programs? Did… did Sumo Slammers also exist here? It would be the most important find in history! Well, of his history.

While those girls continued arguing, he went over to the TV and looked for a way to turn it on, the control was next to the side, and without hesitation, he took it and pressed the power button.

TV sound caught the attention of the youth turned, surprised to see that the alien knows how to handle the appliance.

"Looks like this will be easier than we thought. " Clawdeen commented, Draculaura smiled when he saw his friend changing the channel and approached quickly, she wanted to teach him so much!

" How the hell even know how a TV works? " questioned Cleo.

" Perhaps they also have them on his planet," suggested Frankie.

As he changed and changed the channel, Upgrade did not realize that now the four girls were next to him, looking at him expectantly, his only eye had sharpened and his concentration was maximum, he was not going to give up, he wanted to see his favorite program!

It had been some time since the girls set out to teach Upgrade about the land to prevent him from doing any harm, Frankie insisted that it would be best to educate him with books and not with a TV, but Clawdeen was quite stubborn in this, in addition to which had the support of Draculaura.

At some point Upgrade had lost control of the TV, which happened to be in the hands of Clawdeen, she had started to change channels, looking for anything that could be used for the current situation, she stopped a couple of times in different programs, which captured the extraterrestrial's attention to a greater or lesser extent.

Frankie hadn't missed the chance to take a few notes to try and understand him better, and right now they were going over them, while Upgrade and little vampire friend were gazing with perhaps too much attention at a cartoon about a cat and a mouse.

"Let's review this, he like programs with action, comedy, and music. " Frankie read. " But he doesn't like fashion shows, drama or romance. "

"Sounds like my brother Clawd. " Clawdeen commented, she mentally compared the alien with the aforementioned werewolf, for her they had many things in common.

" He also seems to have the mentality of a child as he loves cartoons almost as much as Draculaura. " The three girls looked towards where the pair was, both were perhaps too close to the screen, expectant of what was shown on it.

"This is getting us nowhere," said Cleo with frustration. " The only thing I understand is that it is a space monster with the mentality of a five-year-old child! "

"I doubt he's five years. " Frankie carefully analyzed her notes, had written many other things besides what was mentioned, every little reaction and skills, their behavior in some things, and what more importantly, their knowledge of the things of the earth.

She speculated several things, being she the daughter of a scientist, theories and speculations were always on her mind when she discovered something, she began to think that this alien was not all that it seemed to be, its behavior was, for lack of other words, human or failing that, that of a terrestrial monster, possibly an adolescent boy since they mostly showed the same behavior pattern, was it possible that this alien had grown up on the Earth? Or failing that, did he know someone on earth and that is why he had so much earthly behavior and knowledge?

" Hahaha! That cat never learns. " Draculaura commented with amusement as she pointed at the screen.

" It's not Sumo Slammers, but at least they have Tom and Jerry. " The alien commented in his language, the name of the cartoon was pronounced correctly, which surprised the girls.

"You are learning English words! That's cool! " exclaimed the vampire happily.

Frankie wasted no time and wrote that down in the notebook she had.

The girls continued to watch him and writing down everything he did or said, little by little they gained some extra knowledge, but things were interrupted when the sound of a car parking caught everyone's attention, including that of the alien, who was turned toward the main entrance.

Frankie, recognizing the sound, panicked and ran to the door, the young ghoul looked through the buttonhole of it and could see that her parents had already returned.

"Frankie, what's wrong? " asked Clawdeen.

"My fathers! " She answered alarmed, her friend had a similar reaction and quickly turned to Upgrade, who had stood up and was looking at them confused.

"We have to hide him! " exclaimed the werewolf.

The panic quickly seized Draculaura, who stood and looked for a way to hide Upgrade, Cleo was calmer because she still believed his idea of the trash was perfect and perhaps now could get rid of the alien. Finally, Upgrades pointed to the back door and made mimicry to try to say that if he should leave.

"I think he wants to go out of the back door. " Clawdeen said trying to decipher the alien's message, he nodded affirmatively.

"For now, it's a good plan, quick, get him out, I'll distract my parents. " Her friends nodded and quickly took the alien away, Cleo for her part stood there with her arms crossed and looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"I told you, we should have gotten rid of him. "

"Cleo, he's a living being. " She replied, not wanting to deal with her friend now.

"Frankie, that living being shoots a damn laser through the eye and can merge with things, he is dangerous! " At that moment, the door began to open which interrupted their conversation.

Meanwhile, in the backyard, Clawdeen and Draculaura had pushed Upgrade to the edge of the forest, they would have to leave him there for now, but they had to make sure he didn't escape.

"You stay here, understood? " Clawdeen asked as she pointed her hands towards the place where Upgrade was standing. " Stand still, don't move, don't breathe, don't do anything. " He looked at her with a blank expression, or maybe it was just his normal expression.

"We will return, don't escape. " Draculaura said.

Both girls then quickly returned to the house, leaving the alien there alone. Upgrade watched them go until they were lost after passing through the door, he waited a few seconds before turning towards the forest and beginning to walk.

If perhaps he was disobeying what he had been ordered to do but had more important things to do, he would come back later.

The light of the sun slowly was filtered over the horizon, allowing to cross the forest was much easier, he touched the device on his chest and a small holographic screen showed, this was revealed a group number, was A digital clock that read six in the morning, had been around five hours in this world and had barely gotten any information, had many questions and almost no answers. He touched the dial on his chest again for two seconds and then pulled his hand away.

The Omnitrix is at 13% of its capacity, primary functions deactivated, it is recommended to activate the beacon to contact Galvan Prime.

- Do it. - ordered the alien.

Starting ... Error ... Error, cannot contact Galvan Prime

This did not surprise Upgrade, he had come to the conclusion that this place was alternate earth, one that had no contact with aliens and was unaware of them, that only left the question of what exactly those girls were, all they acted like normal teenagers from his world, but they were radically different physically, at least three of them, that girl, Cleo, was very human, except perhaps for those bandages that partially covered her arms and neck. He had heard Frankie say something about monsters, was that it? Monsters? That might explain the girl's resemblance to the monster created by Viktor Frankenstein.

His walk took him just over 30 minutes, the dark and spooky forest was no longer dark, but it still looked quite scary, those trees with evil faces could not be normal.

Either way, Upgrade went through everything and returned to his ship, with the sunlight he could better see the state of it, and it was not very good, several parts were destroyed, the wings were missing, the hull was dented, and burned, the windows were surprisingly intact, but it didn't look like it would be able to fly again.

A chill ran through his circuits, he could already imagine what his partner was going to tell him when he found out what he had done to the ship.

"An interesting creature is what it is. " Commented a female voice, Upgrade turned quickly, he had heard that voice right behind him, but there was no one there, had he gone crazy? " You are not crazy if you think so. " this time, the voice came from the ship, he turned again and then he saw her, a woman, perhaps in her forties, light brown hair and with a rather curious outfit, a gray gabardine jacket, a green vest underneath and black pants accompanied by shoes of dress, it was strange to him that women used that type of clothing, especially at this time of year, what was it? Spring if he didn't remember badly?

He came out of his thoughts when he heard the woman cough to get his attention, a rather friendly smile crossed his face and with one arm he pointed towards the ship.

"This is yours, I guess. " The question was kind, quite polite and he detected a British accent in his voice, he did not answer at all if he had learned something in his life, it was that if a person was too calm with things like aliens, was a bad signal.

The woman patiently waited for the alien to respond, but it was starting to take too long, and seeing how this little by little leaned forward, taking a rather aggressive posture, she realized that he was not going to answer.

" It seems that my presence here made you nervous. " She raised her hands in surrender, which calmed Upgrade, but he did not lower his guard. " I just came to make sure certain events have been set in motion, until next time, Ben Tennyson. "

Upgrade's eye widened in surprise, but before he knew it, the woman was already gone. The alien looked in all directions, searching for any slightest sign, be it from the woman, some kind of ambush, or anything minimally unknown, but found nothing strange.

He mentally questioned who the woman was and how she might have had not only appeared out of anywhere but also knew her real name.

Was she to blame for him being there in the first place? That could only mean that this woman was not human and that she had a power great enough to break the barriers between dimensions, managing to drag him.

He decided that it would be best to put the matter aside for now, she had made it clear that she was not looking for a fight, at least for now, but if she tried something against him, she and Alien X were going to have a very serious talk.

The alien walked towards the ship and touched the cold metal with his right hand, his body melted and fused with the technology, although it was practically irreparable, even with his current powers, perhaps he could do something new with the pieces.

And that's it, at least for now, first, I want to thank everyone who reads, seriously, there are quite a lot and I did not expect so many people. Second, maybe it will take a little longer to publish since I decided to make this story in the best possible way, I have researched both Ben 10 and Monster High, in addition to searching for the High Schools in the United States, the months they have classes, their vacations, and the usual class times, all to be able to locate Ben in a point where it fits well.

Another thing, this will be a harem, yes, a harem, but I want to do it well, it will not be simple love crushes I want to create a credible relationship between each character, be it Ben and his Harem, or between Ben and his friends, That is why I have been investigating how to achieve this, all to improve and give you all a story that you deserve, this is one of the reasons why in 3 chapters Ben continues as Upgrade and the Omnitrix is still in repair mode, but it won't last like this forever, first I want to create trust between him and the girls and then Ben will appear as a human, there will be at least 2 other chapters like Upgrade, so be patient. I want to develop as naturally as possible to reach you, my audience, you who put your faith in a story of a first-time writer, I want it to be rewarded and I will do my best.

One last thing, about the villains that will appear, several of them will be from Ben 10, but there will also be villains belonging to Monster High. But before all this, I want to introduce Ben to the world of Monster High since he needs information before acting.

With all this said, I want to thank each one of you again, you are the best, see ya.
