Junior Pov:
"I'm in a relationship, or what Frankie describes as a polyamorous relationship between the both of us with Draculaura and Clawdeen being in the mix. I don't know how it happened or even describe how I feel about it since it's because we tried to save Draculaura from having her magic taken right out of her after that witch queen tried to help Ghidorah's father become powerful again. What I didn't expect after that was the ghouls being all right with us dating one another, but Clawdeen had grown fondly of Draculaura much like Frankie was to me. I don't know how but during our time in the Salem coven when I gave them a bit of my power, I was given their emotions and was able to feel their affections. We made a promise to wait for the moment to tell everyone about our relationship since things needed to settle after the Fright Ball event, so today is going be an average day at Monster High."
Morning-Monster High
Just a few weeks after the Fright Night and Ghidorah's wish for Monster High to be a place for a second chance to allow anyone to start a new life. Things had started to get back to their unnatural selves again, but not for Draculaura who was still thinking about how much had changed for her. From telling her roommates about her witchcraft talents to being saved and then becoming a part of a quad relationship was a lot for the vampire princess, but she didn't seem to mind it.
"Good morning students of Monster High! Just know that the gymnasium is being remodeled for our new winged students that have transferred last week. Classes will be held outside for the time being, meantime? Have a sensational day!"
The announcement said as Draculaura emerged from her coffin where she saw the sun shining directly at her as if it was a sign of it being a good day. It was quickly closed by Clawdeen who knew how Draculaura wasn't a fan of the sun and made sure it didn't blind her, she soon hugged her as a sign of saying good morning before getting ready for class. Taking a moment to see the others already out of the room and roaming Monster High, the vampire princess began to stretch before getting prepared herself for today's schedule.
"It's a new day, there's a new way. Everybody has a place. Run through the halls, now. Be yourself, get loud, you don't have to be ashamed."
She started to sing since after being saved by her friends who are now her partners in their relationship as Clawdeen was by her mirror putting on makeup and sharpening her claws. She took a moment to look at Draculaura as it felt strange seeing her this upbeat, though that didn't mean it was enjoyable to watch as the wolf girl continued to work on her look for the day.
"Cause this is who I am, this is who I am. I finally found someone who can understand, not afraid of the monster that I am. Cause I can be my true self, yeah."
Singing her part as Clawdeen had finished looking ready she walked over to help out with Draculaura's choice of clothing so everyone would know not to mess with her vampire. Noticing her coming up to help style her hair, Draculaura blushed since the only person allowed to style her fairly was Dracula since he was protective over her and cared for more than anything in his afterlife. This seemed to have now changed since Clawdeen was in her afterlife as well as Junior and Frankie, who will have their share in spending time with her.
"We are Monster High. Together we shine bright, everybody is welcome with us. Might be scary, but we all got the love."
The two sang as Clawdeen was able to help out with Draculaura's hair despite her not being able to see her reflection. Taking her time and grooming her black and pink hair, she was able to give the vampire the hairstyle that showed her as an open but also determined ghoul ready for anything.
"Wе are Monster High. We don't stop and we don't hide, everybody is welcome with us. This is who we are, who we are!"
Singing in a duet the two enjoyed their company and felt more connected than ever after what happened at Fright Ball and battling the Salem coven. Especially how the school helped bring them together and closer than ever, which left the vampire and half-werewolf to blush at the singing they were doing. With that being said, the two got their things and headed out of their room to embark on the day together.
"This is who we are!"
They spoke in unison as they went downstairs to join their fellow monster and Kaiju students who were enjoying the peaceful morning that was happening around them. Meanwhile in the hallways was Junior who was right handling a scuffle between two Kaiju students who were ready to fight one another. Picking up by their collars, he snarled at them in order to get them to stop fighting.
"We may be opposite, we may be different. But that doesn't mean we can't be friends."
He sang softly before seeing the looks on their faces changing on not going to fight each other. With that settled, Junior placed them on the floor and allowed them to make up before heading off to class. With having that issue handled, Junior heard a familiar laughter coming from the science room where he saw Frankie working on an experiment revolving turning several potatoes into batteries. Deciding to not interrupt them on their experiment, Frankie noticed the lizard crossing his arms and smiling at them working hard on their experiment. It caused Frankie to blush which caused them to let out several of bolts in the potatoes which eventually exploded across the room due to the amount of energy they put into vegetables.
"My heart like go boom when you walk in the room. Never thought we could make sense."
Frankie of how whenever Junior, Draculaura or even Clawdeen would come in to check up on them would leave the reanimated ghoul nervous due to their recently forged relationship. He walked over to help clean up the mess and Frankie as it was much as a surprise for him to be nervous since he's always kept a leveled head around everyone. Though now with him sharing his live with three incredible ghouls, made the lizard just like Frankie.
"Cause this is who I am, this is who I am. I finally found someone who can understand, not afraid of the monster that I am. Cause I can be my true self, yeah."
He sang to her about him finding someone that could understand his life as well help with cleaning up the room as well handing a rag over to Frankie. Having cleaned up and seeing how close Junior was to him, the ghoul couldn't help themself and cause the lights above the two to light up. The lizard smiled at how nervous they looked and see that despite the pair that could either let out energy or absorb it, they can share the same interest together.
"We are Monster High. Together we shine bright, everybody is welcome with us. Might be scary, but we all got the love."
Singing together as Junior's scales glowed at the moment as he helped get Frankie's belongings and walked out of the classroom together. Just as they passed by several of the lockers, they caused the lights above them to go brighter than usual as well changing their colors.
"Wе are Monster High. We don't stop and we don't hide, everybody is welcome with us. This is who we are, who we are!"
They shouted in the air as they walked outside to see numerous monster and Kaiju students flying in the air enjoying themselves and the new day. While Frankie enjoyed everyday to the fullest and embracing new things happening around them, but they now felt more enlightened with that fact they could share it with Junior and the others. To where at the right moment coming up from behind was Clawdeen and Draculaura who wanted to watch everyone flying in the air.
"This is who we are!"
Finishing the song together as they soon see a peculiar sight of Rhodey, the son of Rodan attempting to light up the sky with his flames to only fail and hit the grass. Burning up the ground and standing up as well looking upset, he noticed the four looking over at him as it left the bird embarrassed on how they saw him fall out of the sky.
"I meant to do that. I was trying out my own special move called 'Phoenix flight'. Which doing spiral and then opening my wings out at the exact moment to where I'd ignite myself. But I'm having trouble since I'm not building up enough fire in me."
He complained about a move he's been attempting to try for a while and hasn't been successful. Junior looked over to where he saw Rhodey's teacher Mothmason helping teaching the students on using their skills to either perform incredible feats or ways to protect themselves. Taking a moment to check his pockets, Junior saw a lava rock that seemed like a snack to him.
"Maybe put more hot sauce on these rocks. Then get angry, I usually do it whenever I use my breath on people who get on my nerves."
Junior offered him advice how to channel his inner fire so he could perform his move which enlightened the Pteranodon Kaiju as he rushed over to try out the suggestion. With that settled, Junior looked over at the trio who couldn't help but smile at how supportive Junior was being towards Rhodey.
"Look at you Dino boy. Helping out someone to reach their full potential, that's someone new to see. Does it have to deal with a certain ghoul or ghouls to help open yourself to everyone?"
Draculaura teased Junior how with him being in a quad relationship with the three of them. He's recently learned how to calm relax once in a while along appreciate his time at the school, despite having the feeling of any kaiju wanting to attack him and attempt to becoming king. It also meant he had to learn what it felt like to be apart of a unique bond like the trio had with each other.
"Isn't that what I was going say 'princess' since you were the first to announce keeping a distance from the rest of us?" Because I still remember how Frankie was checking out your coffin, it be amusing to see how they'd sleep in it."
He replied how he couldn't forget how they meet their vampiric roommate and how she wanted to make it clear that she'd wanted distance. Though it didn't last that long and she eventually became friends with them, to then becoming partners. The comment made Draculaura nervous since it be cute seeing Frankie sleeping in her coffin due to their curiosity behind her sleeping arrangements, though she hid it away quickly as Clawdeen could tell Junior was enjoying teasing her back.
"Come on you two. Let's try to keep it settle, there's a lot to do today and class work needing finished. Especially with art class to help show off some new designs for us."
The werewolf implying of a project she's been working on for a while as she pulled out her sketchpad to present several designs for them to see. It was new clothing that would bring out their inner monster, including Junior as he looked nervous at the clothes Clawdeen drew for him since it made him flashy and fierce.
"I added the sides where you'd be wearing scales. Also where the suit would light up for when you'd want to start glowing."
Frankie pointed out on what they suggested for his look which left Junior to be silent despite him not being a fan of sneakers, he wanted to be supportive for the designs that Frankie and Clawdeen had given him. With that being settled, the four went on their way to one of the open classes for them to get started on making the clothes. Not knowing from the sides was a peculiar ghost watching the four speaking with one another, it was Spectra Vondergeist who was curious about how close they'd been recently. Now excited with curiosity and excitement, the ghost flew into the school to see what's seemed to be normal friendship to be something entirely new and different.
Later-Free Classroom
Hours later with getting classes done and having breakfast, Clawdeen had requested to Headmistress Bloodgood for a room so that she could work on her project for Mrs. O'Shriek's class. With what she's done for Monster High and standing by Draculaura for being a witch was the least she could do, especially how it allowed Bloodgood to search for other witches that seek to attend Monster High of their own free will. Right now in one of the class rooms that weren't being used was the four students working on the clothes that Clawdeen had designed, to which they had already gotten half of them finished. While the ghouls were looking over last minute checks for the clothes, Junior was checking out his Icoffin about the latest news happening in the realm.
"These articles really are giving me a headache. Most of them talk about how I was seduced by witchcraft in allowing witches to come in the realm. Or that in fear of Kaiju constantly attacking me I've been forced to make a deal with several covens to help protect myself."
The lizard read one of the articles that was posted as its been already several weeks since the Fright Ball and the announcement of Draculaura coming out as a witch which has left many monsters and Kaiju to make up assumptions of what has happened. While the monster community wouldn't talk ill of the vampiric daughter due to her father being the prince of darkness, Junior on the other hand was a different manner.
"Really? Seduced? That's like what my father did to humans back in London with humans. Which I try not to think about since it's gross, but I did was more. Convincing."
Draculaura responded to the article since technically he was the one that somewhat swayed her into being more assertive towards others. The rest was because of Clawdeen since she might have been the one to do the 'seducing' part with her optimistic attitude. Frankie by the side was doing sewing for the clothes as their bolts let out a jolt of electricity as they were able to come up with a response for the article.
"It's noted that many articles that are written is because they think it's true or to lure readers into getting invested into what's happening. Sixty percent it can be true and forty percent false."
Giving an estimate on whether or not the readers will believe it since most of the school know from Draculaura that she's been a good friend and vampire. It was much the same for Clawdeen after her name was in the news about her being half human, but it died down since she wanted to be just an ordinary student at Monster High. Having her own designed finish, she presented to the others as they saw what Clawdeen had made which looked like a suit of armor with dark purple fur and her color palette.
"Is it too much? I mean, since we're now dating each other and presumably considered royalty. I may have gone a bit overboard with the concept."
Clawdeen explained herself for the look as Junior himself was silent at the armor since it looked amazing and intimidating. Draculaura on the other hand took a moment to look at the sketches from Clawdeen's book which she see's the armor that she made for herself which reluctantly came from Dracula's old armors that he wore back several centuries ago.
"While I'm flattered that you can make my dad's old suits look stylish. But maybe go easy on the armor, we're not exactly going be fighting all the time."
She complimented Clawdeen on basing an old look that her father wore back years ago and modernizing it and reminding her that there wasn't a need to make something that result in them fighting. While it was true that there hadn't been anything else going on with them or Junior being called out to fight, it was better safe than sorry to be prepared. Junior on the other hand acknowledged Clawdeen's awareness since he continued to look at the articles about several new Kaiju that seemingly want to challenge him.
"If that's the case then me and Clawdeen could be the ones in armor while you and Frankie can wear gowns and dresses. I can tell you both can pull it off without any issues."
He teased Draculaura which left the vampire to grumble before casting a small spell as a book from one of the shelves fell off and landed directly on his head. It earned a chuckle from Frankie since it was enjoyable seeing everyone communicate with each other which they thought was impossible when they first met one another. Continuing to enjoy the moment, Clawdeen's ears started to twitch in an alertive way which made her look around the room. The three saw how the werewolf was acting protective which made Junior get serious as he looked around the room as well thinking that they weren't the only ones in the room by themselves.
"If anyone is here I suggest you come out. Because it's not going to be pretty if they find you hiding somewhere."
Draculaura warned whoever might be spying on them as Junior stopped near the cabinet where the janitors would keep their supplies and skeletons. His eyes starting to glow blue in an aggressive manner, the lizard carefully reached to the handle before opening quickly and letting out a powerful roar to scare whoever might have been either spying on them or preparing to surprise attack him. The ghouls covered their ears at how loud Junior's roar was as they looked in the closet to see Spectra shaking in fear of it as the lizard was able to stop himself before blowing out the windows.
"Spectra? Why are you hiding in the closets? Lockers are usually the best place for ghosts to hide in if you wanted to observe people."
Frankie spoke about how most ghosts usually enjoy damp environments to lurk in and not in closets. Though that wasn't the case as Junior moved back to allow the ghost girl to come out and take a moment to not pass out from being scared to life.
"Feeling okay now? Because we want to know why you were spying on us without permission."
Clawdeen first asked on how the scare Junior gave her might have frightened Spectra back to life. While also not taking her being the room lightly since she wasn't fond of people eavesdropping on them due to their history of being spied on by people who wanted to attack them. Spectra could tell that what she did was her own fault but had her reasons since she showed them her Icoffin which had an article being written.
"My journalist instincts got the better of me and led me to follow you here because of what happened after the Fright Ball. Most of the school thought after Clawdeen's announcement about liking Draculaura, there were speculations of them dating each other. But it's wrong, you all dating each other!"
She spoke in excitement about the quad relationship amongst the four since it was the first in monster and Kaiju history. After learning about Spectra being the writer of the Ghostly Gossip, they were careful about not letting out any secrets that she'd listen to. If she'd published this to the school then it be an uproar of excitement and outrage due to the fact of the ghouls getting the responsibility of looking after the realm. Junior wasn't fond of how she stated it since it meant if word got out about him dating them, then it would leave Kaiju's to attack them in an attempt to get to him.
"Spectra. This is a very important issue that we haven't told anyone yet; the only ones that know about it is Armor, Ghoulia and Caesar because they found out about the courtship when they checked on Gojira's old guitar case. This is needs to be kept quiet."
Draculaura stated the urgency of their predicament since she hadn't even told Dracula about her relationship since it would shatter his fangs at the idea of sharing an afterlife with them. Taking a moment to look around the room and see how important it was to be kept secret, the ghost girl only nodded her head since it might stir up trouble and attract the wrong people since there were still monsters and Kaiju would want to be king.
"Well, I'll need something else to help ignore this shattering development that's in front of me. Junior knows about how I can't back away from getting a story."
She responded that while keeping their secret for the time being, Spectra requested something else in order to not publish the news about the quad relationship. Junior nodded that it was the truth, Spectra needed a story to help satisfy her reporter instincts. They tried to figure out something spine tingling that would help Spectra's need to write a story, which Frankie apparently was able to help out as they rose their hand to help Spectra in writing a story for the Ghostly Gossip.
"If you want to write a story. Then I know that there's been several new students that'll be arriving in the next coming days after letting witchcraft being welcomed into Monster High. Some of them have encountered witchcraft and have desired to learn how to befriend any that know it."
They offered the ghost a tip about new arrivals coming to Monster High which excited Spectra due to how there hadn't been any since the semester had started. Writing the information down and curious to learn about who will be coming to the school, the ghost thanked them for the info and promised to keep their relationship a secret before flying through the walls. The four let out a sigh of relief with that being handled and Frankie coming up with something new for Spectra to write.
"Good one Frankie. But isn't it already too late for any transfers to come to Monster High already?"
Clawdeen complimented and asked the reanimated ghoul about that while seeing the monsters and Kaiju wasn't a bad thing, but it be impossible with them already in the middle of semester. Frankie however shook their head at the question since what they said was true, new students were coming to Monster High in the coming days. Going over to their back and pulling out several newspapers, they were in different languages such as Japanese, French, and Mexican. Despite not knowing the languages on the numerous papers, it did show several images of them waving to everyone along the reporters when the Fright Ball had ended.
"Well, that's something to look forward to. Right?"
Junior asked nervously since it wasn't like any Kaiju's could travel from the human world to here since most of them were born here. Yet it left the rest uncertain since there were monsters that didn't trust witchcraft due to the numerous covens who had plagued their homes and families. It left Draculaura to show them that witchcraft could be used responsible in the right hands if given the chance to understand it. If not, then she'd have back up from the others since it be interesting to see who would want to meet the four that changed Monster high for both monsters and Kaiju's across both realms.
If you're curious to know exactly the gang ended up dating each other. Check out 'Night of the Fright Ball' to catch up. Until then, the next chapters will have new characters from both the show and Godzilla movies. Any comments are welcome down below, till then. See ya soon."
