Substitute Creature

Description
A mean substitute creature makes Deuce take off his sunglasses in class. The result? A really rockin day at Monster High™!

Summary
Heath Burns and another student walk in, saying that the day will be a "blow off" because there's a substitute "creature".

"What happened to Mistress Bloodgood?" asks Lagoona. Clawdeen says it was poisonous leeches, and Draculaura says she heard it was "a scorching case of carnivorous fleas". Ghoulia adds something, and the girls all exclaim "Eww!" in unison.

The substitute teacher interrupts them, telling them to quiet down and calling them "little freaks".

The teacher writes his name (Lou Zarr) on the board, and Heath Burns calls out its phonetic spelling -- "Loser!" This causes the class to laugh

He corrects him and tries to start teaching. Deuce walks in late, greeting his classmates. "You, sir, are late," says the teacher. "No, I'm Deuce," he replies, mispronouncing the teacher's name, and the students laugh agian.

The teacher, angry, tells Deuce to take off his sunglasses in the classroom, and insists when Deuce demurs.

The ghouls in the class know what's coming, and they all raise their books and look away.

"Okay, whatever," says Deuce. "You got it."

He removes his glasses and lowers his hood, revealing his snake hawk and glowing green eyes. The glow fills the room, turning the sub into stone.

"Well Mr. Zarr, it looks like class -- dismissed," says Deuce. The class pours into the hallway, cheering.

Deuce approaches the teacher, who is covered with grime and a banner reading "Dork Award". He apologizes, saying he tried to warn him.

"It wears off in a couple hours," he says. "Usually."
