Monster High: Friday Night Frights

~enjoy watching~

Skultimate Roller Maze is the most a- maze-ing sport at Monster High.

Everyone knows that ghouls are some of the best Scream players.

But it wasn't always that way.

Check out last season.

The Nightmares of Monster High...

...and the Gargoyles of Granite City are dead even.

Granite City!

Monster High is number one! We'll win the race and have some fun!

Scream so loud the dead can hear it!

Show your school you've got some spirit!

Go Clawd!

Go!

Yeah!

Check it out, ghouls, we're on TV!

- No way! - I'm the captain, look at me!

Do not see the big deal about skate game.

I have been skating since I was knee high to yak.

Roller skate game?

No, it's so much more than that, love.

Skultimate Roller Maze, or Scream, as we call it,...

...is a race through an ever-changin' labyrinth.

Each team has to make their way through a course...

...chock-full of traps and dangerous obstacles...

...as they try to get one of their teammates across the finish line.

Winning is all about how ya adapt to what the course throws at ya.

How well ya work as a team.

And the ability to think on your feet...

...while moving at breakneck speeds!

The Gargoyles are our biggest and oldest rivals.

Every time we play, each school competes for the other school's crest.

It's a tradition that's been goin' on for hundreds of years.

No one wants to lose their crest,...

...so the race can get pretty aggro.

Get him!

Wow!

Gil!

We're in for Gil and Deuce!

Come on, let's smoke these suckers!

Go get 'em, guys!

Gary, it's time we finish 'em off for good.

Monster High plays like a bunch of girls anyway!

Whoa!

They're headin' down the Final Run!

Here they come! It's too close to call!

Clawd! Clawd! Clawd!

Rocco! Rocco!

Whoo! Number one!

And the winner is... Granite City!

No! No!

And as the victor, the Granite City Gargoyles are...

...awarded the Monster High Crest!

You have to get motivated to save the planet or else it will fall apart!

See?

Want a leaflet?

They're biodegradable!

Sure, Venus.

I just wanna read about something other than that game on Friday.

Talk about a major bummer.

Yeah, it's all over Spectra's blog.

Monster High smashed against rocks.

Major fail. Worst loss ever!

Whoa. Have not seen school so upset before.

Is because of losing games?

Scream is a bigger deal than you guys know.

Go Gargoyles!

You got some nerve.

What kind of monster turns their back on their school?

A winning monster. Or haven't you read?

Watch your sandpaper tongue.

Is not nice to rub it in.

Oh, you're right. It's not nice. Mmm... But it sure is fun!

There is something going on here.

We better go see Bloodgood and get the gore-1-1.

Oh, no, Frankie, it's more than just a game.

When Granite City won, they took the Monster High Crest,...

and with it, our school spirit.

You mean, like, a symbol and stuff?

No, Frankie, an actual spirit.

It is the physical embodiment of our school pride.

I don't know if Monster High will survive for long without it.

Then we gotta get it back!

It's not that easy.

The only way to get our crest back now...

...is to make it to the championship game and beat the Gargoyles.

Ghouls, I'm afraid it's over.

Attention, students.

I regret to inform you that the school's...

...production of Bats has been canceled...

...due to a sudden collapse of the stage.

Oh, and it's double homework week.

You've got to be kidding me!

There. Wrapped like my mummy.

Thanks, Cleo.

But yo, I'm still saying those dudes cheated.

Like, what are the odds of Clawd's skates...

...breaking just before the finish line?

That's a great idea, Ghoulia!

You should search the track for evidence,...

...maybe we can get them disqualified.

I'm so sorry, lads.

You'll get 'em next time.

There won't be a next time.

Unless Clawd's okay, the whole season's washed down the drain.

- Hey, guys. - Oh, no!

The vet says I'll be in a cast for six weeks.

Oh, there you are! I was so worried!

I was afraid they were going to send you...

...to that farm they sent your grandmother to!

I just can't believe we lost. I let everybody down.

Don't be so hard on yourself. It's just one game, right?

I mean, seriously, what's wrong with everybody?

It's like a morgue in here. And not in a good way.

They took our crest, Frankie! Our school spirit!

So, we'll get it back when we play them again.

- No biggie. - How?

We only have two healthy players. Ah, forget it!

There will be no more Skultimate Roller Maze this year.

I'm officially canceling the season!

Whoa. Monster High looks worse than mountain goat in high heels.

Yeah, I thought everyone would be back to normal today.

Ah! Oh, man.

Oh! Clawd, you poor thing. Let me help you.

It's okay, I got it.

I'm sorry. I just...

If I'm gonna be like this for six weeks,...

...I better learn to do it on my own.

This is bad, you guys.

I wish there was something we could do.

That team meant the world to him.

To everybody, it seems.

Why can't the team keep playing?

There's plenty of able-bodied monsters in this school.

We can hold tryouts!

I don't know if Clawd would like us messing around with his team.

You saw how grumpy he was.

Yeah, but that's just 'cause he's sad and hurt.

Come on, you said yourself that team means the world to him.

Don't you want to cheer him up?

Well, of course, more than anything.

Then it's settled. We're doin' this!

Ah!

So, which one of these guys has what it takes?

Well, that one is a great athlete.

And that vampire is so agile and graceful.

But there's more to this game than just athleticism and agility.

Really? Like what?

Well, there's game tactics, strategy,...

Skates.

Um, sorry.

Lagoona, you and Clawdeen better go help out those clumsy creatures.

Skatin' isn't about strength, mates. It's about balance and coordination.

It's like glidin' in the water.

Hey, you guys, hear that?

It's the sound of a girl trying to teach us about Scream.

She's just trying to help you!

Maybe if you shut your snouts and pay attention,...

...you might learn a thing or two.

Puh-lease. What are we going to learn from her?

How to accessorize our uniforms?

Oh, man.

Lagoona, show them how it's done.

What?!

- Awesome. - Wow, see that?

What?

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Depends. Were you thinking that Lagoona should be on Scream team?

Or do you wonder why snowmen always smiling?

- Uh... - Seems like very boring job.

The first one.

Lagoona, you should be on the team!

What? Me?

What? What are they talking about? Seriously?

Come on, it makes sense.

You love this sport more than anyone I know.

Plus, let's face it, you're the best one here.

Wait, hold on, aren't there rules against girls playing?

Mmm. I don't think there is.

- Oh, yeah. Robecca Steam! - Who-becca-what Steam?

Robecca Steam was the first Scream superstar, all those years ago.

Wow, I'd forgotten all about her. Count me in, I'll play!

Whoa, whoa, whoa. We're not playing on any team with a girl on it.

Why not?

Because it's a boy's sport. It's sacred. It's tradition.

- Then it's a stupid tradition. - If she's on the team, we're not.

- She's on the team. - Then see ya, wouldn't want to be ya.

Come on, fellas. Good luck making a team with no boys!

Whoa!

- Oh, no, now there's no team at all! - Not true, you do have team.

Lagoona, she make one. And I make two.

And I make three!

- Four! - Five!

I suppose it looks pretty bad if I don't put my hand in at this point.

- Very well. Six. - For Monster High! Whoo!

Ta-da! Check it out, Clawd, your new Scream team,...

...ready for you to coach to the championship!

No need to thank me.

What? What is this, some kind of joke?

No, this is the team. Your team.

Now, I know we don't have a lot of experience,...
