Lincoln took the time to unload his stuff; posters on the wall, clothes in the cupboard, toys on shelves and his books and comics put away. It was starting to look more like home and he figured that he might as well make himself comfortable. One of his favourite comics and placed on the bed as he began to read.

Or tried to...

His mind was stuck on the fact that he was here at this boarding school with monster girls. Difficult to try and focus on his comic; eventually he put it down and sighed. "Come on Lincoln... They seem nice enough and if Shaggy and Scooby Doo themselves vouch for them... Plus one of them is ghost girl and that's cool... Wait..." Lincoln said stopping as his mind went to a half on that thought. "Is she the ghost of a dead girl..." Lincoln asked as passing through her bed and appearing before him floating was said ghost girl herself Phantasma giving off a giggle.

"Oh no... I was born as a ghost. But thanks for thinking about me." Phantasma then said as Lincoln gave off a shocked fright with her giggling some more. "You really are gonna be so much fun!" Phantasma then said.

"How does that work... Nevermind; I don' think that I want to know..." Lincoln said shaking his head realising quickly that he had better get used to her popping out of nowhere. "I thought Ms Grimwood said to let me have my privacy?" Lincoln then asked with a frown.

"She said that she would call you when dinner's ready and it is! So many tasty stuff but Ms Grimwood said that no good for you. She has food for you that we usually just give to Shaggy and Scooby. I figured that I could tell you the quickest!" explained Phantasma and Lincoln thought that it sounded like a good sign.

"Well thanks Phantasma... Please lead the way..." Lincoln said going through the door and Phantasma went through the wall quite casually. "Wait... How can she eat... Another answer I probably don't want to know..." Lincoln muttered to himself following the ghost through the wall and down the stairs.

Soon they were at a dining hall where the other students were sitting down with Shaggy and Scooby Doo. "Thank you for that Phantasma. Feel free to dig into the human food that I have prepared." Ms Grimwood said as Lincoln went to a seat in the middle of Tanis and Sibella.

"Thanks Ms Grimwood... Thanks to you as well..." Lincoln said seeing a floating white hand put out a plate of corn with a burger on it that he thought looked tasty. Lincoln saw the other students were happily digging into food that looked a bit gross to him and he was amused as he saw that Shaggy and Scooby Doo had their plates filled with enough food for a Loud family dinner. "Legendary appetite of them..." Lincoln said amused to himself as he was able to enjoy his food.

"Lincoln. What do you like?" Tanis asked with a friendly smile looking toward to Lincoln which made him pause.

"In food or in general..." Lincoln asked as Tanis then nodded.

"Yes please Lincoln. As the newest member of our little school's student body; we would like to get to know you." Sibella then said with friendly eyes on him as he looked nervous.

"Well I like movies... Cartoons... Games... Superheroes and I like to practice magic as a hobby..." Lincoln then said as they took this in with their smiles.

"Like that fake stage magic with the silly hats and cloaks?" Winnie asked as Lincoln frowned a little but Ms Grimwood chided the young werewolf.

"I think you will enjoy our arcane class then." Ms Grimwood said as Lincoln beamed... He would be learning actual magic here? "Lincoln if you can please listen to me for a moment..." Ms Grimwood then said as Lincoln then glanced at her as she cleared her breath. "Classes will start on Monday and will go from Monday to Friday. You will have your timetable by them and they started from 9 to 3:30. You will have weekends off and you will be free once your final class ends but I expect all students to be in by 7." Ms Grimwood then said as Lincoln nodded.

"Got it Ms Grimwood! Kind of like like my schedule without a dash to get to the bus or car ride to school!" Lincoln said as Ms Grimwood put on a smile.

"There's also like a town a little down the hill from our school and the military school next door. General stores and definitely a game and comic store along with an arcade. We can show you around tomorrow." Shaggy then explained and offered as Lincoln beamed excitedly.

"All right for me..." Lincoln then said as he thinks this will go nicely.

"Coach; can we come to help show Lincoln around?" Sibella then asked as Shaggy then quickly nodded along with Scooby with Lincoln looking her way.

"Want to do shopping as well?" Lincoln asked as Sibella glanced his way.

"That and to help you get used to the place. Since you are part of the Grimwood gang now." Sibella then said as Lincoln was surprised and a look from the girls showed their agreement in this. Perhaps this could be smooth sailing from now on...


After some more time reading his comics in his new room; he got changed into pyjamas and went to bed. Within his first night; he ended up pulling his pillow over his head in a vain attempt to get back to sleep as there started to be howling. Feeling frustrated; he ended up opening up his curtain to show the full moon and then opened the window. He then shouted out "trying to sleep here!"

The howling continued and without thinking he grabbed the ball that Lynn had given him and threw it at the figure and with stunning accuracy it hit the figure in the back fo the head. "Hey! What the big idea!" Winnie's voice then yelled as Lincoln jumped and in a panic closed his window and the curtains as she looked up.

Not even 24 hours at the school and he had made an enemy of a werewolf; planting himself on the bed he gulped feeling too scared to go back to sleep. Soon enough the door opened and there was Ms Grimwood with Winnie; the headmistress holding the ball. Winnie looked annoyed and Lincoln gulped with the headmistress looking his way.

"Is this yours' Lincoln?" Ms Grimwood asked not even looking stern but inquisitively as Lincoln was in a panic. "Lincoln; I must give you my apologies. It escaped my notice that the welcoming day for the students would be on the full moon and I neglected to explain this to you. Winnie likes to howl at night at this time of the night and the other girls as well as staff are prepared for it." Ms Grimwood then said as Lincoln then jumped up off the bed with his knees on the floor as he looked pleadingly at the werewolf.

"Winnie... I am so sorry... Please don't attack me..." Lincoln cried out as Winnie raised an eyebrow.

"Are you trying to be overdramatic like Phanty? Just has to say your sorry and no need to be begging like that." Winnie then said as Lincoln stopped and got back up.

"End of it... No grudges or anything?" Lincoln asked stunned feeling weird as he knew that his sister could hold grudges for an incident for a while.

"Chill out... You said sorry and I forgive you; that's all to it... Just need to remember to have you on our team when we play volleyball against those Calloway Cadets. We do it every year." Winnie then said with a raised eyebrow as she then left with Ms Grimwood looking down on Lincoln.

"Good night Lincoln." Ms Grimwood told Lincoln and he then nodded and sighed; going back to bed and actually managing to go back to sleep.
