"I still think this is ridiculous, at this rate my arm is going to fall off." Clawdeen said angrily while the girl was cleaning a gargoyle statue.
The day has just begun. Scary Murphy ordered us to remove the dust and dirt from all the gargoyles on the academy roof.
"I already dropped it." Frankie said with a smile holding his arm making me laugh. That made the girl's smile grow but also made Clawdeen a little uncomfortable.
"Hey, who are they?" I asked looking at a team of vampires training below. Cleo noticed that and approached me.
"Ugh, they're from the vampire academy. Our competition." Cleo said seriously. The girl got angry when she saw that the vampire girls made fun of us.
"They think it's a big deal, because why are they tall?" Draculaura asked seriously, looking at a gargoyle, the stone creature shrugged his shoulders, not knowing how to answer that question.
"Maybe because they've won four years in a row." Cleo said seriously. That surprised me but also intrigued me.
"I don't understand. They are practicing, why doesn't Scary Murphy let us do the same?" I asked in confusion looking at Cleo. My question was like a dagger to the Egyptian girl but she decided to stand her ground.
"I already told you Benja, she must have her reasons. Besides, there's no need to worry, Ghoulia and I were inventing an ultra-special choreography for everyone." the Egyptian girl said proudly looking at us with a smile.
"I hope so, or we'll be doomed." Draculaura said with concern before having to cover us as the opposing team turned into bats before launching themselves at us to provoke us.
After work, we decided to go to the beach to relax. While the girls were sitting sunbathing, I was with Draculaura sparring in a little friendly sparring.
"Very good Draculaura, you're keeping a good pace." I said smiling as I blocked a kick from the girl before counterattacking with a punch that the vampire girl dodged. Our blows were not harmful, they were gentle. To be honest, this felt more like a game than a fight.
"Thank you, be careful here comes a big sister attack!!." Suddenly I was surprised when the vampire girl jumped on me and hugged me tightly, we both fell to the ground and started laughing.
While Draculaura and I got back up before continuing to fight, Clawd was sitting in a small bar drinking played with Heath and Deuce, the three boys were watching the fight but Clawdeen's brother was a little uncomfortable.
"Wow, friend. Benja and Draculaura are fighting evenly, I know Benja is holding back, but can you imagine that one day Draculaura fighting would be him? I would pay to see that." Deuce said with a smile as he gave one of his snakes a grape.
"I suppose." Clawd said with concern seeing that Draculaura and I were laughing before leaving with Cleo and the rest of the team.
"I would be jealous. Benja is very good and everything but, he and Draculaura are together almost all the time and even Benja stayed at Draculaura's house, I would be very jealous, give me that hand!!." Heath said with a smile but then the teen was petrified by Deuce's gaze as Cleo's boyfriend took off his glasses.
"Thanks Deuce, but. Heath is right, Benja is a good boy, he cares a lot and is capable of unleashing hell when Draculaura gets hurt, ugh. Benja would be a better boyfriend for her than me." Clawd said but Deuce shook his head.
"Brother, don't say that, Benja only sees Draculaura with a sister for him. Look at me, yes, I admit that I am also a little jealous since he is with Cleo but at no time did they show mutual interest, they are just friends." Cleo's boyfriend said, although he will admit that deep down she was a little worried too.
Meowlody had her heart in her throat. The girl was behind a tree watching Cleo and Ghoulia explaining what the choreography would be like. The girl looked for a moment at her hands where her old pompoms were, internally the girl was regretting not having asked her sister Purrsephone to come help her.
"Are there questions?" Cleo asked looking at us with a smile but the girls and I were amazed as well as excited.
"It's perfect, with this choreography we can win but. Have you already talked about this with Scary Murphy?" I asked curiously making Cleo roll her eyes with a smile.
"No, I want this to be a surprise when our night comes. So everyone to your positions, let's practice like we never have before. We only have a whole week so I don't want any mistakes." Cleo said seriously making us all smile but then we heard footsteps and when we turned around we were surprised to see Meowlody.
"Hey kitten, I think you got lost. And what are you doing wearing that?" Clawdeen asked seriously while Meowlody was very nervous.
"I thought I made it clear that you were not welcome here." Cleo said seriously but then the girls saw me get in front of Meowlody.
"Girls please don't be so mean to Meowlody. I invited her." I said nervously. That impacted the girls but especially Cleo.
"What did you say?." Cleo asked seriously and coldly, which made me even more nervous and scared Meowlody.
"Listen Cleo, I know what I did is wrong and that I should have talked to you about it. But please, just give Meowlody a chance, I know I owe him for saving my life and Draculaura's, if it hadn't been for her and Purrsephone wouldn't we could have done it." I said with concern. Cleo looked at me for a moment and then at Meowlody before sighing bitterly.
"We'll talk about this later, now there are more important things to do. I want everyone to prepare, I don't want weaklings in my squad." Cleo said seriously as we all went to get ready. Meowlody smiled before going with me, the girls looked at the cat girl seriously which worried Meowlody, but she relaxed when she saw that I was smiling.
"Remember, we have a week. Don't let me down." The Egyptian girl said with her arms crossed while Ghoulia played music.
Don't Stop Me Now - Queen
The first rays of sun began to come out on Monday. We all got up early to go to practice. Scary Murphy told us that starting Monday we would have the morning off and that we would only work in the afternoon, we had enough time to practice but now we were waiting for Meowlody.
Tonight, I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive
Cleo looked at me with a raised eyebrow making me nervous, she was about to call Meowlody but then Ghoulia pointed at something approaching.
And the world, I'll turn it inside out, yeah!
I'm floating around in ecstasy
In the distance we saw Meowlody running, the girl looked like she was running with all her might while getting ready, it looked like she had woken up a moment ago and was trying not to be late making me smile while the girls were surprised and smiling but Cleo was very serious.
So don't stop me now
Don't stop me
'Cause I'm having a good time, having a good time
We immediately started warming up by jumping and performing our tricks. Cleo was with her arms crossed while Ghoulia watched us, Meowlody ran and began to make a big jump before landing on her feet without problems which surprised me a lot, the girl smiled but then she stopped smiling when she saw how serious the girl was Egyptian.
I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
After practicing we went to the kitchen to prepare lunch for everyone. The girls and I were kneading the dough for the bread, Meowlody was surprised but she wasn't going to give up and she started working alongside us helping Frankie, Cleo was stirring a cauldron of soup while she watched everything.
I'm a racing car passing by, like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go, go, go
Meowlody arrived at her room tired, the girl did not notice the absence of Toralei and Purrsephone and simply fell on the bed. The girl looked at the ceiling for a moment before getting up and starting to train in her room.
There's no stopping me
I'm burning through the sky, yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
On Tuesday, Meowlody arrived earlier, she and Clawdeen began to perform a choreography together despite having done well, Cleo asked them to be synchronized so both girls began to try harder.
I'm travelling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you
The girls and I were now in the backyard of the academy collecting water from a well because the plumbing system was broken, Draculaura was tired and then she noticed Meowlody offering her water, the vampire girl smiled and received the bottle of water before that both girls continue working.
Don't stop me now
I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball
Don't stop me now
The whole team was in the cabin studying and analyzing the choreography while Ghoulia spoke, due to my little knowledge of the language I needed help so Meowlody helped me translate, Cleo was watching everything from the outside and smiled slightly seeing how we are all putting in our effort.
If you wanna have a good time, just give me a call
Don't stop me now ('cause I'm havin' a good time)
Don't stop me now (yes, I'm havin' a good time)
I don't wanna stop at all
On Wednesday. A storm came, but that didn't stop us from continuing practicing. Despite the leaks, we all pushed each other to perform the tricks. Cleo looked at Ghoulia, the zombie girl gave a thumbs up making the Egyptian girl smile.
I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars
On a collision course
I am a satellite, I'm out of control
After training we were taken to work in the academy attic to remove dust and dirt, Meowlody was sweeping until the girl jumped into my arms screaming for a spider, but then Ghoulia showed us that it was fake making everyone laugh, even to Frankie and Clawdeen despite the slight discomfort and jealousy.
I am a sex machine ready to reload
Like an atom bomb about to
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, explode
Cleo was watching how the girls and I were doing the pyramid through jumps and somersaults. With each attempt we made we were getting closer and closer to the perfection that the Egyptian girl was looking for, on the other hand, Ghoulia was studying and analyzing new choreographies for the team in depth.
I'm burning through the sky, yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
Thursday arrived. Meowlody slowly walked out of her room before running away with a smile, but she never noticed that Purrsephone was looking at everything seriously before following her sister.
I'm travelling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic woman of you
Purrsephone arrived at our cabin and the girl was surprised to see Meowlody with Cleo performing a choreography before landing in my hands, I threw the girls into the air making them do quick spins before landing on Frankie and Clawdeen's shoulders in the pyramid.
Don't stop me, don't stop me, don't stop me
Hey, hey, hey
Don't stop me, don't stop me, ooh, ooh, ooh
I took a deep breath before I started running and performing tricks like Cleo would, I took a big jump and started doing quick spins before landing on Meowlody and Cleo's shoulders. Immediately the team and I dismantled the pyramid before continuing with our training while Ghoulia continued to work and observe.
I like it
Don't stop me, don't stop me
Have a good time, good time
Don't stop me, don't stop me
Friday. The girls and I were tired, sore and exhausted. All day we didn't eat or rest, our uniforms were dirty and our bodies were going to give in at any moment, but we weren't willing to stop.
Ooh, I'm burning through the sky, yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
Again, we started running before making our jumps, Draculaura, Clawdeen and I launched ourselves onto some branches and used them to swing before jumping with a deadly spin and landing on our feet.
I'm travelling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you
Frankie and Meowlody ran over and started performing their tricks, the two girls were doing flips and jumps before landing on Clawdeen's and mine's shoulders.
Don't stop me now
I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball
Don't stop me now
Cleo started running and doing her tricks while I waited for a key moment. When the girl did the third somersault, I used my magic and made the Egyptian girl be propelled by some roots that I grew. Cleo began performing tricks in the air before I released a burst of fire to give a surprising effect to the stunt.
If you wanna have a good time, just give me a call
Don't stop me now ('cause I'm havin' a good time)
Don't stop me now (yes, I'm havin' a good time)
I don't wanna stop at all
Cleo fell onto Meowlody and Frankie's shoulders after performing her trick. We all looked at Ghoulia, the zombie girl smiled and gave a thumbs up making us all fall to the ground and start laughing tiredly before hugging each other.
Finally. After days of hard practice we finally made it, the girls and I were crying with happiness and pride, but we never noticed that Purrsephone had seen everything seriously before leaving.
After practice I walked Meowlody back to camp, we were both tired and sore after all the training and the only thing we wanted to do now is sleep.
"It can't be that we finally made it, damn my back hurts but it was worth it." Meowlody said before yawning. The girl was proud of herself and her efforts.
"I spoke to Cleo a while ago before we left. She told me that even though what you did was unforgivable, she is completely grateful for your help, she believes that if it hadn't been for you, the choreography wouldn't have worked." I said smiling, the girl smiled before hugging me. That surprised me but she made me smile before I hugged her.
"I couldn't have done it without you. You were the only one who believed in me, thank you Benja." Meowlody said with a smile as she hugged me tighter out of happiness.
"You're welcome, Meowlody. I'm proud of you, I knew I could trust you. Now go rest, tomorrow it will be better to rest before the competition on Sunday." I said smiling looking at the girl.
"Yes, rest Benja." the girl said with a smile. We both gave each other one last hug before going our ways.
Meowlody was happy, the girl felt lighter and more free. Finally the nightmares disappeared and she could be at peace, when Meowlody was going to open the door to her room using her key she was scared to death when Purrsephone opened the door as if she had been waiting for her.
"We need to talk. Now." Those words scared Meowlody and he entered the room with fear. When Purrsephone gets angry she was just as scary as trying to face a dragon.
The next day. We were all on the beach sunbathing and relaxing our bodies, after yesterday's training we needed a break and there was nothing better than going to relax in the sun before the night we were going to have tomorrow.
"Ah, this is relaxing. I really needed this." I said smiling with a beach hat and sunglasses while Draculaura was next to me inside a coffin. The vampire girl had told me that vampires under the sun was a myth, but she needed to rest a little in the dark.
"It's true, I'm so relaxed I can barely stay awake." Frankie said before yawning. An eel tried to bite the girl's arm when she dropped her arms but the animal only managed to electrocute itself.
"Don't relax so much, I remind you that tomorrow night is the most important moment of our lives. I want a formidable team, not lazy ones." Cleo said seriously making Draculaura open her coffin.
"Relax now, captain intrepid. With the routine that you and Ghoulia created, we're going to make it." The vampire girl said with a smile looking at Cleo.
"Yes, and it wasn't thanks to Scary Murphy with her maid jobs." Clawdeen said looking at the Egyptian girl. Cleo was aware that this was largely true, but she also couldn't accept that statement one hundred percent.
"She must have planned something for us, you have to believe it." Cleo said with slight concern in her voice. The girl doubted her statement and she began to question herself. If Horror legend Scary Murphy had something for us, why did she make us do cleaning chores?
"Relax, Cleo. I believe in you, but now you better rest, tonight we will put the finishing touches on our choreography. I'll go get drinks for everyone, I won't be long." I said smiling before getting up and walking away. The girls smiled happily when they saw what I said.
"Did you hear what I think I heard?" Clawdeen asked with a smile making Draculaura nod.
"Benja is finally relaxing, we are getting him back to his teenage life. He is having a balance!!." The vampire girl shouted happily, making Frankie smile.
"Being here was a great idea, Benja is starting to relax, normally I would think he would be very aware if Bane or Waps attack again but instead he focused on cheer practice and having fun." The stein girl said with a smile looking at Draculaura. Cleo was happy too but then she noticed something that confused her.
"Hey, has anyone seen Meowlody?" Cleo's question made the girls look around her. They also seemed confused by the absence of the cat girl.
When I got to the beach bar I ordered drinks for the girls and me. But when I entered I was surprised to see Cupid on a table asleep with many glasses around him.
"My God, Cupid." When I approached the girl and touched her I was suddenly surprised to see that she woke up suddenly, she seemed to have a photo stuck on her cheek because of her drool.
"God. What time is it? Where am I?" Cupid asked sleepily touching his forehead before yawning.
"Cupid, are you okay?" The girl turned around and was surprised to see me next to her.
"Benja? Oh, hello. Ugh, what time is it?" The girl asked, somewhat dizzy, I was very shocked to be able to smell alcohol on Cupid.
"Cupid you. You smell like wine!?" I screamed in surprise. The girl at that moment felt a strong headache but then she looked at the glasses that were on the table.
"Shit, I did it again. Benja, please help me to my room. I don't want anyone to see me like this." Cupid said tiredly and with shame. I just nodded and gently held the girl before leading her to her room with concern.
When we got to the room, Cupid went to the bathroom to take a bath. At that moment I saw the photograph fall and when I grabbed it I saw that it was a photo of a boy with glasses, an elegant uniform and a crown. When I turned the photo I saw a heart with a C and a D, inside the heart. I was suddenly taken out of my thoughts when Cupid's phone started ringing.
"Hello, I am Cupid, the goddess of love. I am now at rest, but please tell me what ails your heart." Cupid's answering machine spoke while the person on the other end began to speak.
"Cupid. It's a love emergency, me. I feel like the boy I like ignores me. He gets nervous, avoids looking me in the eye, he worries me and I don't know what to do." I approached the answering machine when I heard the girl's worried yet scared tone.
"He got tired of me? Does he just not like me anymore?" I couldn't take it anymore and sat down in the chair before grabbing Cupid's headphones and approaching the microphone.
"This is Benja, the Kitsune of love. I understand you perfectly, it is normal for some monsters to get like this and it is because perhaps they are not bored, but perhaps something makes them nervous. Please talk to me, how long has this been going on?" I asked curiously. On the other hand, Cupid came out of the bathroom and was surprised to see me behind the microphone.
"It happened last week, I confessed my feelings to him but he then left and then started avoiding me. It hurts me to see him like that, did I do something wrong?" The girl asked from the other side.
"Not exactly. Maybe it was very sudden and he's scared, but listen, you shouldn't be scared, look for him and ask him for explanations, if he doesn't come to you then you should go get him. Look for answers, maybe he's scared because he might feel it himself for you." I said smiling making the girl on the other side surprised.
"It's true, I can't give up. Thank you very much Benja, you are my hero." the girl said with a smile before hanging up the call.
"Wow." I was surprised and turned to see Cupid behind me already dressed and with a smile.
"Cupid me. Sorry, I can explain it is that." I got nervous but then I saw the girl start laughing.
"There's nothing to explain, Benja, that was very sweet of you to help that girl. You know, working on the radio is fun, but there are times when I need to rest. Tell me, would you be interested in being the Kitsune of love for me?." Cupid asked with a smile which surprised me a lot.
"I would love to, but are you sure?" I asked curiously but then I was surprised to see more calls coming.
"The public seems to have spoken. Come on, I need your claws with me." Cupid said with a smile. I smiled and sat next to her while the two of us started helping the monsters.
The day passed. For the rest of the day I was helping Cupid with the love monsters, I admit it was fun but at the same time, I was amazed at the way the girl was clearly an expert and although I was embarrassed, there were times she had to give me a hand when the situation was a little more difficult for me.
"Wow, I admit that. This was amazing." I said smiling as I get up and put my headphones on the table.
"Now you understand why I enjoy doing this. I love helping monsters find their soulmates, I admit you're good at this too." Cupid said with a smile making me blush with embarrassment.
"Thank you, but you're much better than me. You always know how to make monsters find what they're looking to hear." I said embarrassedly making Cupid laugh.
"Don't say that Benja, you're new to this, it's normal not to have much experience. But I promise you that while we are together I will teach you everything I know about love." Cupid said with a smile making me smile.
"Thank you Cupid. By the way, this is on the floor then." I said before taking the photo out of my pocket and showing it to Cupid. The moment the girl saw the photo of her, her smile faded and she grabbed the photo sadly.
"Oh, thank you Benja." I was very worried when I heard the tone of the girl's voice. I go from being a happy voice to a sad one.
"Cupid. Is everything okay?" I asked with concern which made the girl return to normal for a moment.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I just remembered someone. Umm, but don't worry, I'm fine." Cupid said with a smile but I knew she wasn't all that well.
"Cupid. If we are going to be partners, I think it would be good if you tell me who that boy is." I said with concern making the girl laugh a little and smile slightly.
"I'm fine, I swear. It's just a person I miss a lot, it's nothing serious. Umm, I'll see you tomorrow. Me, I have to go to sleep." Cupid said nervously. Before I could speak the girl took me out of her room. That surprised me but it also worried me, I decided to leave to leave the girl alone, perhaps it would be better to talk about it another time.
"Should I have told him?" Cupid asked quietly looking at the photograph before sighing to go to bed with the photograph in his hand.
I arrived at the cabin and saw the girls sitting while Cleo seemed to be talking about something while Ghoulia projected our choreography.
"You're late, quickly sit down." The Egyptian girl said seriously making me sit next to Ghoulia but I noticed that Meowlody was not there.
"And Meowlody?" I asked in confusion but Ghoulia spoke.
"Ghoulia says Meowlody isn't coming yet, we tried calling but his cell phone isn't answering." Frankie said but then the girl and I got scared when Cleo hit the wall to get our attention.
"As I was saying. This choreography will guarantee us absolute victory, thanks to Ghoulia, she and I have created the perfect dance steps. Feast your eyes on this." Cleo said before Ghoulia teaches the choreography. The girls and I were amazed to see the complexity and every detail of the choreography.
"Tomorrow. We're all going to get up early and try out the choreography, so I want everyone well rested. Now we're all going to have dinner before surprising everyone with our fantastic performance tomorrow." Cleo said with a smile while the girls and I were happy. It was more than clear that the choreography was going to lead us to victory.
We all started to leave the cabin but I saw that Frankie was left behind.
"Frankie, aren't you coming?" I asked worried, making the girl laugh.
"I'll go right away, I plan to send a video to my parents to tell them how our days were here." Frankie said with a smile. I smiled before leaving with the rest of the team while the girl looked for her camera to start the video message.
Just as Frankie was going to start making the video, he heard someone come in and saw Meowlody.
"Meowlody, what a surprise. Where have you been? We were all worried about you." Frankie asked curiously making the girl laugh shyly.
"Sorry, I was very busy and I also had important things to do with Purrsephone. Sorry for being late for the meeting." The girl said with a shy smile making Frankie laugh.
"Don't worry, let me show you the choreography we have to practice tomorrow." The Stein girl said before she began to explain to Meowlody every detail of the choreography.
The next day. The girls and I worked hard to perform the choreography, it was complex, difficult and exhausting but we had finally achieved it. When the night came we were all ready and prepared, the road was difficult, many teams were eliminated and now we were in the final. The most important moment for us.
"Alright team, focus. We can win this, remember how we rehearsed. Now the vampire academy I'm going to perform their tricks, so let's see how they do before making them cry." Cleo said with a smile. She, Clawdeen, Frankie, Draculaura and I accompanied the girl but Meowlody stayed behind. What we saw left us in shock.
"Those are our moves!!." Cleo shouted with shock seeing everything. The same balances, tricks, spins and other movements. Everything was copied to the smallest detail.
"Meow, what's wrong Cleo? Did the cat eat your tongue?" The girls and I turned around only to see Toralei next to Purrsephone and Meowlody. Seeing that cat girl had taken off her cheerleader uniform made the girls' and my hearts ache but Cleo was feeling her blood boil.
"You. You stole our choreography, like!?." Cleo shouted in anger making Toralei laugh. The Egyptian girl and the rest of us automatically noticed and saw Meowlody.
"Meowlody." I whispered in surprise and disbelief. The girl didn't look at us and simply lowered her head making Toralei laugh.
"Don't feel bad, honey, it's normal. You shouldn't have trusted a kitten without seeing her claws." Toralei said with a mocking tone. Clawdeen couldn't take it anymore and tried to attack the girls but we saw Toralei and her friends jump into a canoe before paddling away while laughing.
The silence became eternal and the atmosphere heavy. All our efforts, all the hours of work and sweat had been in vain. Cleo heard people shout with joy when they saw that they were supporting the vampire academy, that was the last straw and suddenly the Egyptian girl slapped me hard which surprised everyone.
"This is all your fault! You brought Meowlody here and look what he did to us, can you hear me at all with those fucking ears of yours!?" The girl screamed angrily while Ghoulia and Frankie held Cleo down to try to calm her down.
"Cleo relax, Benja has nothing to do with it. If I had known Meowlody would have done this I would never have taught him the steps." Frankie said but that only made the Egyptian girl even more angry.
"It was you!? You're a bitch!!." Cleo wanted to hit Frankie but Clawdeen intervened.
"Cleo stop it, none of us all knew this was going to happen." The wolf girl said but the Egyptian girl was still furious.
"You shut up. My problem is with the fucking fox and with Frankie, don't get involved in my business!!" Cleo shouted angrily. However, we saw something that shocked us.
Draculaura had raised her hand and slapped Cleo across the face. The Egyptian girl looked at her friend and saw that the vampire girl was clearly upset and in tears.
"Don't talk to Benja and Frankie that way, it's not their fault. If it's true, my little brother may have brought Meowlody, and Frankie may have taught him the choreography. But you don't have the right to buy them because in we never knew this could happen, if you're going to mess with my friends. Then you're going to mess with me too!!." Draculaura shouted with firmness and fear in her voice.
"Out." That statement surprised us but then we saw Cleo forcefully grab her pompom.
"I want him to leave!!." The girl threw her pompoms and looked at us with anger.
"You all have failed me, I worked hard to get here, I did all this, I don't need you!!." Cleo shouted angrily. That made me angry and I approached the girl while hugging Draculaura to calm her down.
"We all worked hard. Frankie gave you the idea for the video, Clawdeen helped with the costumes so I could help too, and Draculaura motivated me. We all made sacrifices, it's true. It's my fault for trusting Meowlody, but it's because I never thought she would do things like this."
"Frankie was just trying to help, we all tried hard but you keep saying that you got here on your own, when in reality, if it weren't for us, no one would be here." I said seriously before throwing my pom poms on the floor.
"I quit." I said seriously before hugging Draculaura as the two of us left. Cleo was shocked but then saw Clawdeen throw the pom poms too.
"We're friends Cleo, but now after this. I honestly don't want to be with you if you treat my friends like that." The wolf girl said seriously before leaving with me and Draculaura. The Egyptian girl turned to see Frankie, the Stein girl dropped her pompom to the floor.
"I just did what I thought was right. I, I'm sorry." Frankie couldn't contain her guilt and ran away in tears. Cleo looked at the pompoms and then watched us leave, Ghoulia walked over and put a hand on the Egyptian girl's shoulder in an attempt to comfort her.
"Ghoulia. What did I do?" Cleo asked with tears before running away. The Egyptian girl was capable of many things, but she would never forgive herself if she lost the people she saw as more than just a team.
The girls and I arrived at the beach bar. Frankie, Clawdeen and I ordered a soda while Draculaura couldn't stop drinking strawberry milkshakes.
"I want another one." Draculaura said sadly before putting down the glass. The bartender just paid attention and took the empty glass away.
"Draculaura please, take it easy. It's the room you asked for." I said with concern but I only saw the vampire girl drink the milkshake in one go before hitting the bar with the glass.
"I don't care, I want to forget this night. Another one." The vampire girl said sadly and seriously while the bartender just obeyed.
"I invite the next round for these monsters." The girls and I turned around only to see Cleo sitting next to us.
"What are you doing here, Cleo? Don't you have a prize to win of your own?" Clawdeen asked seriously making Cleo sigh.
"I'm sorry." The girls and I looked at Cleo upon hearing that statement. The Egyptian girl ordered a blueberry smoothie and looked at her glass sadly.
"I'm very sorry. What I said is that, since Nefera returned home, she always brags about her victories and achievements as a monster high cheerleader. When I sent the application here it was to show my sister that I could also be the same good or even better than her."
"When the invitation was rejected I thought my whole world had fallen apart and that Nefera was going to laugh in my face when she saw my failure, but when we made the video and we achieved it I felt for a moment pride for everyone, but then the thought of victory about Nefera they clouded my judgment." Cleo took a long drink of her milkshake before putting the glass down.
"That's why I became so demanding and firm with everyone, because I wanted victory at all costs. When Meowlody betrayed us I simply felt great fury and sadness, seeing that I was so close but in the end everything was in vain. What I did and said was painful, but the most painful thing for me is losing my best friends." Cleo said before looking at us.
"I was so invested in the victory that I didn't realize and completely forgot the sacrifices of all of you and the enormous effort you made for me, if winning here means that I lose my team and my best friends, then I don't want anything. You are my greatest achievement, and I love you very much." Cleo said with tears making the girls and I hug her through tears.
"Cleo I'm so sorry. I'm to blame too, I should have listened to you when you said that Meowlody and Purrsephone couldn't be trusted. I was a fool, sorry." I said with tears making the Egyptian girl laugh.
"That doesn't matter anymore. Let's not fight again, now we are a team and as a team we stay together and help each other. Nothing matters more than my friendship with you." Cleo said with a smile as we wiped away our tears.
"Let's not waste any more time, there is a prize to be won." Clawdeen said with a smile but Draculaura was worried.
"But what will we do? The vampire academy stole our choreography, we are defeated." The vampire girl said sadly. Cleo at that moment thought and remembered all the days we have spent here, then she remembered the tasks that Scary Murphy made us do making Cleo have an idea.
"I have an idea. Come." The girls and I looked at each other before meeting up and discussing Cleo's plan.
Everyone was worried except the vampire academy. Scary Murphy had called our team over fifteen minutes ago and no one came on stage, the woman was internally disappointed and approached the microphone.
"We can't wait any longer. Monsters High school is left." Scary Murphy was going to continue speaking but then she saw the girls and me come on stage in maid uniforms which surprised everyone.
"Cleo. Are you sure about this?" I asked with nerves and embarrassment but Cleo was determined.
"Trust me, it doesn't matter if we lose, I want you to know that no matter any award or trophy, nothing can replace our friendship." Cleo said with a smile. The girls and I smiled before looking at Ghoulia, the zombie girl smiled before playing the music that the girls and I were going to dance to.
Ado - Show
The lights suddenly went out while the girls and I were relaxing our bodies to give our best.
Na-na, na-na-na
Ready for my show
Okay, tachimachi dokudanjou
Listen, listen
Slowly the spotlights started to turn on me and the girls as slowly the song started and we started to remember what we should do.
Na-na, na-na-na
Ready for my show
Katamuke
Furikirou (Giga) (TeddyLoid)
We raised our fists in the air and opened our fists before following in Cleo's footsteps. The girl began to move as if she were cooking, making the girls and I follow in her footsteps.
Ha! Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya shou taimu
Teppen no onari hora oide
Yoi wo konpuriito oorai hell yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Cleo started imitating when we were starting the mowers, the girls and I smiled and did the same while Scary Murphy was smiling slightly and all of monster high was supporting us.
Dandan norinori de chou kantan brah, brah, brah! Pow
Emo iwarenai ain't nobody stop (Ha, ha)
We started moving as we cleaned the cobwebs in the attic before pretending to wash a window while slowly everyone was supporting us more and more.
Oh, zendo kenran gouka
Attention sawagouka
Ishi hyouji ni mou jiki shougeki no koe takaraka doudou touban
The girls and I started doing every move we've done throughout the entire Scary Murphy training and we realized something, what we did wasn't just tasks, the whole time we were actually dancing.
Mou garandou wa tokku no tou touta
Ay, ryouran ouka odemashi da, ah
We stopped dancing and looked at each other with a smile before we started tapping our feet on the ground and clapping the air to get everyone's attention.
Kakkou tsuketeru tsumori wa no, no
Ootomatikku ni afurechau honnou
The vampire academy was shocked to see that everyone, including rival schools, began to support us and stood up while clapping to our rhythm. Toralei and Purrsephone saw this with surprise but Meowlody saw this with sadness but couldn't help but smile with pride.
Notamau dantoudai no ue de hashage karei
Da-rat-a-tat-a, warning!
The girls and I took off our maid costumes to show off our cheerleading uniforms before grabbing our pom poms and starting to dance to the music and training to Scary Murphy.
Na-na, na-na-na
Ready for my show
Banzai asobuge ni kotobuki
Shout it out, shout it out
Everyone started shouting loudly and cheering while the girls and I continued dancing and performing our tricks that we had done at Monster High as well. Scary Murphy was smiling proudly looking at Cleo while the Egyptian girl was smiling looking at us out of the corner of her eye.
Na-na, na-na-na
Ready for my show
Hannari kanjou doori ni hassou tobi
Shout it out, shout it out (Ooh)
The girls and I began to perform the choreography that we did in our video while people supported us.
(Hey, uh) Kuracchai na
(Hey, ha) Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat (Pull up)
(Hey uh, wa-wa-wa)
Mankai souin ikki ni tobikiri jump around
Frankie, Clawdeen, Draculaura and I stood behind while Cleo began to perform her own routine with jumps and spins that surprised people.
Look at me now
Hifu wo yaburisou na hodo ni haneru shinzou
Kurai gekijouteki shiyou (Exotic vox)
Then, Frankie and Clawdeen started performing their duo tricks from flips and somersaults together while Cleo, Draculaura and I watched with a smile.
Ini mini mani mo goraijou kara no goraikou
Kakurenbo shiteru sono kimochi kaihou
(Risei adiosu)
Shakariki jimichau (Ay, ay, ay, ay)
Everyone at that moment turned and saw Draculaura, Cleo and I with the kitchen cauldrons before using ladles to pace while Frankie and Clawdeen continued with their routine.
Jabarabadabi kataru nimaiba
Yashinka shitto suru you na juusu
Taburakasu nakatto naccha iya
Karuma ni itaru mae ni tayutau wa
Everyone started applauding loudly and shouting with happiness while we didn't stop. No matter the sweat or fatigue, our hearts were burning with determination and strength. We were going to give everything to win.
Jabarabadabi kataru nimaiba
Yashinka shitto suru you na juusu
Taburakasu nakatto naccha iya
Toiro no batafurai (No escape)
After Frankie and Clawdeen's choreography the lights went out. Draculaura and I did somersaults and were now in front of everyone looking into each other's eyes.
Gozonji no doori souzoushii kodou ni
Hodasarete mou tomarenai
Vampire girl and I smiled and dropped the pom poms. At that moment I threw punches in the air before getting into a fighting pose, Draculaura smiled and kicked before doing the same. That caught everyone's attention.
Shoudou ni tosou shi egaita daybreak
Hai kantsuu teionkyou
I ran and launched a flying kick, Draculaura dodged it and tried to do a leg sweep but I didn't dodge with a somersault. Cleo suddenly realized, Draculaura and I weren't just performing combat, we were also doing a dance fused with our training.
Na-na, na-na-na
Ready for my show
I felt incredibly happy. My heart was pounding, I looked at Draculaura and we were both equally happy, suddenly the memories came flooding back. The laughter, the happiness, the games, everything was making my hair shine a turquoise color without me realizing it, the vampire girl didn't notice it either but everyone did.
Irei no kiken do hirui naki kakki juuman
My heart was pounding, my tears were falling, I felt like years spent in solitude had finally left my body and that I had finally returned home. I finally recovered what I lost and I never wanted to separate myself from all this, these thoughts made my hair shine more and my eyes change to a turquoise color.
Na-na, na-na-na
Ready for my show
I hugged Draculaura tightly, the girl did the same. We both looked into each other's eyes happily and brought our foreheads together with tears in our eyes as the glow grew stronger and slowly covered me as did Draculaura. Everyone was cut off by a strong glow, even Toralei and her friends fell from the canoe.
Ichika bachika aa
Two souls become one, a mind and heart are shared, the same emotions united them despite an unexpected fate. A union, that their hearts agree on one thing. A fusion, harmony and peace, unbreakable.
When the shine disappeared. Everyone was shocked to see a girl on stage. Her hair was long tied in two pigtails, her hair color was pink and black, her skin was pale and delicate like snow, her eyes were different, one was magenta while the other was grayish pink, Vampire fangs protruded from her lips and in her hair were white fox ears.
Na-na, na-na-na
Ready for my show
Banzai asobuge ni kotobuki
Shout it out, shout it out
The new girl showed nine huge fox tails before starting to perform a choreography, her jumps were higher and her style more stylized, the throwing girl suddenly covered her hair and tails with a pink fire before continuing with her routine while everyone was still in shock.
Na-na, na-na-na
Ready for my show
Kassai makiokosu tame ni stay
Issai gassai wasurete shout it out
Suddenly the girl took a huge leap before launching a burst of fire into the sky and performing a quick spin before landing. And continue dancing.
Ay, woah-oh-oh-oh
Migi ni hidari matomete rat-a-tat-a-tat (Pull up)
Omoikkiri ikki ni (Clap, clap, clap)
Nani wa tomoare goshou wa are
Shout it out, shout it out
When the music ended. The girl looked at the audience with a huge smile, slowly her smile disappeared but then she was surprised when the entire audience exploded in screams of happiness and joy while the vampire academy was still shocked by everything that had happened.
"Yes, we did it! Girls we did it!!." The team was shocked but her impression grew when the girl had Draculaura's voice.
"Draculaura? Is that you?" Clawdeen asked with shock. That confused "Draculaura" a lot.
"Of course it is, listen. Where is Benja? He, he didn't leave, right?" Draculaura asked with fear, that caught the girls' attention.
"Draculaura, I'm here but. Where are you? I don't see you." The girls were shocked to hear that the girl now had my voice.
"Guys." Cleo said fearfully getting my and Draculaura's attention.
"What's happening?." We both asked at the same time in confusion but then we saw the Egyptian girl approaching with a hand mirror.
"They're going to want to see each other." Cleo said before bringing the hand mirror closer. When Draculaura and I saw, we were both shocked to see that the vampire girl and I were now one person.
"What happened to us!?." Suddenly a turquoise glow covered us causing the team to cover themselves, but when the glow disappeared they saw that Draculaura and I returned to normal.
"They are fine?." Clawdeen asked with concern while she helped Draculaura and Frankie helped me.
"Yes, we're fine but... I feel dizzy and weak." I said with some nausea but when I touched my cheek I noticed something and when I grabbed the hand mirror I was shocked to see that I now have the same birthmark as Draculaura.
"School, Monster High." We all looked ahead and saw Scary Murphy approaching us.
"In all my years I have never seen anything like it. You have spirit and I am proud of all of you, this belongs to you." The woman said with a smile before pushing the spirit prize into Cleo's hands. The girls and I smiled happily and the entire audience shouted happily to see that we had achieved it.
With the help of Frankie and Clawdeen, Draculaura and I stood up before lifting the prize with Cleo while everyone took photos of the moment with the smiles of my team and I happy to see that we had achieved it.
After dinner, we all headed to the bus ready to head home. Draculaura and I were feeling much better and went to sit together, the girl at that moment looked at the necklace in her bag and sighed before standing at attention and taking out my necklace.
"Benja. I need to tell you something." I turned around and was surprised to see my broken necklace in Draculaura's hands.
"I'm really sorry, it's just that. One day your necklace started glowing and talking, then it exploded when I threw it away. I know it sounds crazy but I swear I tried to repair it, I didn't want you to see it, I know how much it hurt you. This is what it meant to you and I didn't want to see you angry with me. But, I can't take this secret anymore. I will understand if you are angry and don't want to talk to me again."
I grabbed the necklace and looked at it for a moment. Draculaura was ready to receive any insult or scream but she was surprised to see me hug her.
"That doesn't matter anymore. I appreciate what you tried to do for me, but it's okay. I'm not mad at you, you're like my big sister, you're the kindest and gentlest girl in the world, I can't be mad at you." I said smiling. The vampire girl smiled with tears and hugged me tightly.
"Thank you Benja, you are the best brother I could have." The girl said with a while the bus slowly began to move forward.
Draculaura looked at me for a moment only to see that I had a heart on my cheek like her, that confused the girl but then her hair felt strange. When she touched her hair she noticed that she had a flower in her hair, she was confused but she didn't give it any importance.
As the trip progressed, we all fell asleep except Ghoulia, the zombie girl saw that Draculaura was having a nightmare but then I hugged her, we both smiled and hugged each other. Ghoulia was amazed to see that the hearts on our cheeks shone and a shine covered our hair as small flowers came out of my hair and Draculaura's hair.
Ghoulia grabbed a tweezer and pulled out a flower from my hair and then a Draculaura flower before going to her seat. The zombie girl took out the computer from her and started working, something was disturbing her mind, and she wanted to know at all costs what happened in that scenario.
