Sledgehammer woke up and then looked around.
"Oh, sorry, Sledge." Cindy took out some food for her pet possum.
"Who's the rabbit?" Sledgehammer asked.
"His name is Ickis," Cindy explained. "He's a monster."
"Ickis, eh?" Sledgehammer replied.
"Sup?" Ickis greeted the possum.
"Hmm... You think the Gromble would mind if there'll be five new students?" Mike asked Ickis once she got an idea.
"As long as you're in disguise as monster students, you should be fine, but remember the last time you did that, Mike." Ickis reminded.
"I got kinda crazy 'cuz of the Blood Moon, but I should be fine now." Mike replied.
"Wait, five people?" Cindy panicked. "As in Mike, Sky, Jo, Ashlyn, and...*gulp* ME?!"
"YES, YOU!" Jo snapped.
Cindy shivered nervously. "Oh, why is it always me?"
Mike and Ickis shook hands together once the deal was set.
"Now that that's taken care of, I'm starving, is there anything to eat around here?" Ickis rubbed his belly.
"What kind of food do you eat?" Sky asked.
"A lot of kinds, usually in the trashcans though..." Ickis shrugged.
"Hmm..." Cindy hummed as she looked to her room's wastebasket and then held it out for the monster.
"Ooh, Vegas Buffet!" Ickis cheered with a laugh and then jumped into the basket and ate up all the trash.
"But wait a minute, I'm not a monster, how would I get into the school?" Cindy asked.
"She has a point." Sky had to admit.
Jo smirked then.
"I don't like that look on her face." Cindy replied.
"You'll live." Ashlyn ruffled up Cindy's hair.
Jo chuckled and looked at Cindy. Cindy gulped in response.
Ickis continued to eat the trash and then licked his lips. "Oh, Mike, you always knew how to treat me right."
"Hey, anything for my friends." Mike smiled back to Ickis.
Ickis then hugged Mike. Mike laughed and hugged him back.
"Okay, Butler, let's turn you into a monster." Jo decided.
"But how do you-" Cindy was about to ask, but then remembered something. "Oh, wait, you have dark magic."
"Uh, duh..." Jo said before she took out a book. "Luckily, Raven let me borrow this."
"Will it hurt?" Cindy asked.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Jo replied.
"WHAT?!" Cindy squeaked.
Jo looked to the print and cast the monster transformation spell on Cindy.
"I'm scared." Cindy gulped.
"Ah, just relax and hold still." Jo instructed.
"O-Okay." Cindy shivered.
Jo read the spell and changed Cindy into a monster so she would be able to get into the Academy with them. "Okay, it's done." she then said, closing the book.
"How do I look?" Cindy asked nervously.
"Look in the mirror." Jo told her.
Cindy shakily came to the mirror as she came to see her monster self. She now had pointed ears with frizzy and wild hair with fangs and had claws, a pointed tail, and even had wings.
"I think she looks awesome this way," Ashlyn smirked. "Reminds me of Brooklyn and Lexington."
"All right, ready to go?" Ickis then asked.
"Just a minute," Mike replied. "Sky, Jo, Ashlyn, and me have to change first, if you know what I mean."
"Oh, yeah." Ickis replied.
"Wait, now?" Cindy asked.
"Yeah, classes start after dark, but we usually scare throughout the day." Ickis explained.
"Oh, Sledgehammer, what if they find out I'm not really a monster?" Cindy nervously asked her pet possum.
"I wouldn't worry about it," Ickis replied. "Some of them are stupid."
Cindy shivered nervously. Mike, Sky, and Jo became their werewolf forms while Ashyln became her gargoyle form. Sledgehammer let them sneak out of the house and they followed Ickis to the city dump where the Monster Academy was.
"So, where is this school of yours at?" Jo asked.
"We're almost there." Ickis said as he pulled back some trash and then showed a secret door.
"Ew, your school is a dump?" Sky winced.
"Yes, one of the best in the county." Ickis smiled.
"You guys will get used to it." Mike assured.
"I think I'm gonna be sick." Cindy groaned about the smell.
"You're not alone." Sky whispered.
Ickis then took them to the door and brought them into the room he shared with his friends: Oblina and Krumm.
"Oblina, Krumm, guess who's here?" Ickis called to his friends.
The two monsters looked over. The first one looked like a black and white candy cane with big red lips and the other one was short and fat with pink skin, carrying his eyeballs over his head and had fat blue lips. This made them smile once they saw their old friend from a very long time ago. "Mike Mazinsky!"
"In the fur, long time no see, guys." Mike smiled as she hugged Oblina and Krumm.
"I must say, who are these friends with you?" Oblina asked.
"This is Jo, I turned her into a werewolf, that's my cousin Sky, this is our friend Ashyln, she's a gargoyle, and that's Cindy." Mike introduced.
"Please don't eat me." Cindy begged.
"Don't worry, we don't eat humans." Oblina promised.
"So, where's this Snorch guy at?" Jo snarled, already wanting to give said monster a piece of her mind.
"You'll see him sooner or later," Krumm replied. "Class starts in half an hour."
"Perfect." Jo nodded firmly.
"Your classrooms look like a college classroom." Cindy commented.
"You're not thinking of beating up the Snorch, are you?" Oblina asked Jo nervously.
"Why not?" Jo shrugged.
"He could tear you to pieces." Krumm replied.
Jo scoffed. "I'd like to see him try."
"Your funeral, hey, if you die, could I have your lunch?" Krumm smirked.
Jo rolled her eyes at him. "Sure, whatever."
