Super Monsters Back to School

Is she here? Is she? Is she?

What's taking so long?

Why aren't they here yet?

Don't worry, Lobo.

It's a long drive from Ciudad Monstruo to Pitchfork Pines,

but I'm sure your cousin Vida and her parents

will be here soon.

I got you!

I can't believe Vida is going to live right next door!

Won't that be great?

We get to play together every day,

you, and me, and Vida, and all our friends.

And she'll come to Pitchfork Pines Preschool with me too!

It's going to be amazing!

- -

She's here!

-Vida! - Hi, Lobo.

Is Vida here yet?

No, and I've been waiting forever!

Oh, we'll wait with you.

We have paper and paints.

So we can make a sign to welcome Vida and her family

to Pitchfork Pines!

Ha!

Awesome!

That was my sister, Lobo's aunt Maya.

She says they're almost here!

- -

- -

They're here! They're here!

I'm so happy you're here!

We all are!

Welcome to Pitchfork Pines, Vida.

Gracias, Esme.

What a sweet little plant!

Oops!

I got so excited, I used too much magic.

That happens to me all the time.

Hola, Abuelita!

Hola, tío Jorge!

Hola, Vida! Welcome to your new home.

Why don't you let Esme, Katya, and Lobo

take you on a tour of Pitchfork Pines?

Great idea, Jorge.

All of the Super Monsters made a list of our favorite places

in Pitchfork Pines. I can't wait to show you!

Maybe you should take Skelly with you.

I'm sure she's excited to get to know our new home.

It's OK, Vida.

New places always make me nervous.

Me too.

But hugging Skelly makes me feel better.

OK, cousin Lobo. Skelly and I are ready to go.

Let's go!

Our first stop on your tour of Pitchfork Pines,

is the petting zoo!

This is where our monster pets like to stay when we're at school.

Henri loves to play with the Wingoats,

Bubble and Trouble.

And Molasses likes to nap in the trees and nibble on leaves.

It's OK, Molasses.

I'm sure this tree would be happy to give you some leaves to eat.

Wow!

Oh, Vida, that was amazing!

Yes, thanks for making sure Molasses has a tasty snack.

Speaking of snacks,

maybe we should go get something to eat too.

Oh, I know just the place!

Next stop: Luigi's Pizza!

Henri wants to stay and play with the Wingoats.

And so do I. We'll see you at school tomorrow.

- Goodbye! - Adiós!

Welcome to Luigi's!

The best pizzeria in Pitchfork Pines!

It smells delicioso!

Hi, Vida! Hi, Lobo!

Hola, Frankie. It's so nice to see you again.

Come have pizza with us.

We ordered a whole bunch.

I'm so sorry, everybody. I can't make any more pizza tonight.

I don't have enough fresh oregano for the sauce.

What's ora-- oragio?

Oregano is the most important ingredient in my pizza sauce.

I grow it in my herb garden. See?

Oh, I can help with that!

Wow!

Oh, grazie, Vida.

You are a super helpful Super Monster.

De nada, Luigi.

I like being helpful.

Now I can make lots of more pizza sauce.

And lots of more pizza.

Now it's time for the amusement park!

-Yes! -Goodbye!

See you tomorrow!

Wait till you see the Ferris wheel.

It's my favorite ride in the whole park.

- Look! There is Cleo and her mom! -Hi, Lobo.

Hi, Vida! Don't you just love Ferris... wheels?

Oh, no! Mummy power!

Hah!

Wow! I didn't know you could do that!

My mom's been teaching me to use my mummy wraps like lassos.

-Cool! -Cool!

See that building over there?

That's the natural history museum.

That's where we're going next.

Drac and Spike are going to meet us there.

Oh, I love dinosaurs.

-So do we! -Hi, Vida!

Come say hello to Dippy, the diplodocus.

Oh, dear! Spike, are you alright?

I'm OK.

But I don't know if Dippy is.

Do you think I broke it?

It's OK, Spike.

I know all about skeletons.

And this one is super strong.

I think this Super Monster knows what she's talking about.

She sure does.

Vida, the last place on my list is the library.

Zoe said she'd meet us there.

-Bye, Vida. -See you tomorrow!

Hmm, Zoe's got to be around here somewhere.

Hey!

Hi, Vida. How was your first night in town?

It was wonderful, Zoe.

Lobo's been showing me all of the Super Monster's

favorite places.

The library is one of my favorite places.

There is so many wonderful books with so many amazing stories!

The only hard part is deciding which ones to take home.

And which ones to put back, until next time.

Oh, and putting the books back where they belong

can be a little difficult.

Wow!

Thank you, Vida.

It's going to be so much fun to have you in school with us.

Skelly and I can't wait.

Oh, no. Skelly, my doll. She's gone!

Don't worry. I'll find her.

Not there. Nope. Not there either.

Everything here is so new. New house. New town. new school.

It's very exciting, but it's also kind of scary.

And when I get scared, hugging Skelly makes me feel better.

It's OK, Vida. I understand.

We all have something that makes us feel better

when we're nervous or afraid.

That's right! And you need Skelly. So we're going to find her.

I can't find Skelly. She's not in the library.

I'm going to make some calls.

We'll get all the Super Monsters to help search for Skelly.

Thanks for coming, everyone.

These are all the places we went tonight.

Skelly has to be out there somewhere.

Let's go find that doll!

We're sorry, Vida.

We looked, and looked, but, we couldn't find Skelly anywhere.

It's OK.

Don't give up. We'll keep looking until we find her.

Skelly!

Molasses found Skelly!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Oh!

Hey buddy, I know it must've taken you all night to get here,

but I'm so glad you did.

I'm really happy to have Skelly back.

But I don't think I needed to hug her as much as I thought I did.

Really?

Even when I felt nervous and sad, all of you made me feel better.

-Oh, yes! -Oh, yes!

Mamá, papá, I think we're going to be very happy living here,

in Pitchfork Pines.

Sun up!

Super Monsters!

Are you excited to start school tonight?

I don't know. It's so different from my old school.

What if I don't like it?
