'I knew that man was bad news." Cherry said.
"Good thought process, Cherry." Mo approved.
Atticus soon latched onto a tree and climbed up and found what looked like a pirate ship. "What the-" he asked out of confusion.
Cherry and Mo soon came to see Atticus.
"Do you see her?!" Cherry called out.
"Yeah, but there's a pirate ship up here!" Atticus called back.
"A pirate ship?!" Mo and Cherry asked out of confusion.
"Yeah, it's kinda cool..." Atticus said before he then saw Frankie being put down in a bed. "Good, she's fast asleep."
Cherry and Mo waited down below.
Atticus soon slid down the tree trunk and came back to the girls. "She's asleep right now," he told them. "The beast must've brought her there. I guess he's nice."
"That's great." Mo said.
"So, what do we do now?" Cherry asked.
"We shouldn't wake up Frankie, she's had a long night." Atticus suggested.
"Fair enough." Mo agreed.
"So, what?" Cherry replied. "We just gonna sleep over here until she wakes up?"
"Why not?" Atticus asked.
"I was being sarcastic!" Cherry said. "Atticus Fudo, I am not sleeping here tonight!"
Eventually, they were all in sleeping bags...
"I can't believe I'm sleeping here tonight..." Cherry groaned.
"Just be happy my nature powers will be able to protect us." Mo said.
"I guess..." Cherry replied before yawning. "Night, guys."
"Night." Atticus and Mo told her.
They all then settled in and went to fall asleep for the night, and where they would need their rest.
The next morning came really fast. Cherry groaned, trying to block out the sun since it beaded in her eyes. Atticus and Mo woke up and sat up, but saw Cherry trying to sleep more, and where they had a playfully devious idea. Cherry lightly snored as she continued to sleep, unaware of what Atticus and Mo were up to. Mo and Atticus soon brought up a bucket of water. Cherry snored lightly only to yell out as she was splashed with cold water and fell out of her cot.
"Morning." Atticus and Mo smirked.
"W-W-Why d-did you do that?!" Cherry shivered with a glare.
"How else would you wake up?" Mo smirked.
Cherry soon took a towel and dried herself off with a huff. Atticus climbed back up the tree and smiled once he saw Frankie was now also waking up, but looked oddly around her surroundings. There was a boy in the tree house with Frankie, he seemed somewhat familiar, but at the same time, still mysterious. Atticus decided to find out who he was. Frankie and the boy soon both screamed.
"It's okay, Frankie, I'm here." Atticus said, being brave like he almost always was.
"I'm sorry, sorry..." The monster boy said shyly.
Atticus could already tell this monster boy didn't mean any harm.
"Oh..." Frankie smiled to the boy. "Well, aren't you cute? I'm Frankie, and this is Atticus."
"Your boyfriend is a human?" The boy asked.
"Well, he's not my boyfriend, and he's not a human actually." Frankie replied.
"She's right." Atticus said.
"So, who are you?" Frankie asked.
"I-I'm Andy..." The boy replied shyly.
Atticus could tell Andy was nice.
"So, how did you-" Frankie was about to ask until she remembered what happened to her last night which made her gasp. "Oh, my Ghoul, we gotta get out of here!"
"Why?" Andy asked her.
"That beast!" Frankie replied as she took a look out. "It's probably still around out there! We gotta get out!"
"Oh, right." Atticus said.
"It's okay..." Andy sighed. 'You don't have to worry about him."
"Why not?" Frankie asked.
"Because I... I'm the beast..." Andy said.
"You are?" Atticus asked.
"Yes," Andy nodded. "I'm a deerling beast."
"Okay... Didn't see that coming...?" Frankie smiled nervously without noticing that her necklace was beeping.
Atticus had a feeling that necklace was like a beacon or a tracking device.
"Well, this is boring." Cherry said as she tapped her foot while Mo was playing with playing cards and tossed them into her bandanna while they waited for Atticus.
"What is he doing up there?!" Mo complained.
"I dunno, but he better hurry, who knows when that beast will be back?" Cherry replied.
"I'm not sure if that beast meant any harm." Mo said.
"What are you talking about?" Cherry deadpanned. "It's a beast! Big, scary, hungry, mindless, blind rage, RAWR, I'm gonna eat you for being smaller than me!"
"Was that how you thought about Adam?" Mo asked.
Cherry opened her mouth, only to pause and then stop.
"Well...?" Mo asked.
"I guess you have a point..." Cherry admitted.
"See?" Mo replied. "Don't judge a book by its cover."
Atticus, Andy, and Frankie were soon coming down from the tree house.
"Uh, who's this?" Mo asked about Andy.
"This is Andy... 'The Beast'." Atticus told her.
"Wow." Cherry said.
"Um... Hi..." Andy waved shyly to the girls.
"Hi." Mo greeted.
"So, are you guys humans?" Andy asked.
"You seem interested in humans." Atticus said to him.
"Well, actually, I was the only monster in an all human neighborhood." Andy explained.
"You were?" Atticus, Mo, Cherry, and Frankie asked out of surprise.
"They didn't understand me, and that made people scared..." Andy sighed.
"Yeah, I get that." Frankie comforted.
Atticus and Mo could tell Frankie and Andy were meant to be.
They were then by a waterfall together.
"When people get angry at me, their intolerance... Their negative energy..." Andy tried to explain as he gave them all cups of clean water in coconut shells. "It does something to me and I turn into the beast. Everywhere we went, it's the same old story. It ruined my whole life."
"Whoa." Cherry said.
"I'm so sorry, Andy." Frankie frowned.
Andy soon climbed up a coconut tree as he continued to tell them his life story. "Finally, when it was decided I didn't fit anywhere, my parents decided to send me as far away as possible, but there was a storm and shipwreck."
"So, that pirate ship was yours?" Mo asked.
"That's right..." Andy sighed. "And, alone here, I didn't think I'd turn into the beast again... Until I met the Tikis."
"What did they do?" Atticus asked.
"Their fears started the cycle again," Andy frowned. "It's like, wherever I go, I can't get away from the hate!"
"Oh, you poor creature." Frankie soothed as she put her hand on his shoulder.
Atticus, Mo, and even Cherry felt sorry for Andy.
Meanwhile, Bartleby was eager to look for Andy to make money off him while Lagoona, Gil, and Evil Manta were hiding, and where it was slightly hard.
"That git Barnum's got a tracking device," Lagoona glared. "If we keep following him, he'll lead us right to Frankie!"
"Yeah, but what are we gonna do when we find them?" Gil asked.
"I don't know, but we'll think of something." Lagoona smiled.
"I'm not sure if this is the best plan, Lagoona, confronting them up straight like that," Gil said nervously. "Maybe we should wait and think about this some-"
"If we wait and think, it might be too late." Evil Manta interrupted.
Lagoona yelped as she slid down the ledge by accident.
"LAGOONA!" Gil cried out.
Lagoona screamed as she slid down the hill and ended up on the ground right in front of Kipling.
"That isn't good." Evil Manta said.
Kipling looked down at the female sea monster as she looked nervous around him.
"Don't just stand there, nab her!" Bartleby commanded Kipling like a slave.
"I'm sorry." Kipling whispered before capturing Lagoona.
"That was odd." Evil Manta said.
"What are you talking about?!" Gil yelped. "He kidnapped my girlfriend!"
"Gil, help!" Lagoona cried out.
"I, uh..." Gil looked around for a way to help until he soon ran off.
"Gil, don't leave me!" Lagoona cried.
"Really, Gil?" Evil Manta glared.
"I swear, I'm looking for help!" Gil told him.
Meanwhile...
Andy took the others into one skull rock and they sat in one eye socket to look out to the whole island.
"Whoa." Mo said.
"This island's beautiful, isn't it?" Andy smiled.
"Yeah, when you're not being chased by a crazy man," Frankie giggled. "Do you ever think about leaving?"
"Where would I go?" Andy shrugged.
"Why not Monster High?" Atticus suggested.
"Oh, I don't know..." Andy sighed.
The campfire soon died down, but Frankie brought it back with her neck bolts charge. Andy smiled admirably to that.
"Where we come from, you're free to be yourself," Frankie smiled to Andy. "You can let your freak flag fly! And no one will care."
"It's true." Atticus smiled.
"I've never seen someone like me," Andy had a small smile. "With my... You know... 'Problem'."
"It's not a problem." Mo soothed.
"Guys, as scary as this place can be, your world is even scarier." Andy sighed.
"It can be scary." Mo nodded.
Frankie gave a small frown as she felt like maybe she couldn't help Andy. Mo could tell what Frankie was thinking. They soon had a quick meal over the fire before they would keep moving.
"Mo, this food tastes like vegetables." Cherry grunted.
"It is vegetables, I made it." Mo smiled serenely.
"Yuck!" Cherry cringed.
"Cherry, you like vegetables." Atticus reminded.
"Yeah, but what's with all the veggies lately, Mo?!" Cherry complained. "I swear, it's always vegetables with you!"
"I've been wondering that too." Atticus said.
"I'm sorry, you guys, I just thought you would like to eat healthy since Gaia's given me some health food tips." Mo replied softly.
"And we do." Atticus said.
Cherry stuck her tongue out.
"Oh, man, this is great." Andy smiled.
"Really?" Mo asked.
"I've had nothing to eat but coconuts, but this is really great." Andy smiled sincerely.
"Cool." Mo smiled back.
"Ugh... I need meat!" Cherry demanded.
