DEUCE: Nice, new posters of the Kaiju founders of casketball.
FRANKIE: I knew having this poster of Gakaiju and Modirah would be inspiring! Which is also why I've been dusting all your lockers.
DEUCE: Intuition like that is why we asked you to be the new student manager of the team, Frankie.
FRANKIE: Thanks. Got so many amazing ideas, I'm bursting at the seams!
GHOULIA: (screams) Again?
FRANKIE: Oops. Oh, sorry, Ghoulia. As my first duty as manager, I'd like to discuss a new team mascot.
DEUCE: Ooh, how about the Monster High serpents?
PRIDE: Yesss, behold our beauty.
HEATH: Or a fire sprite!
LAGOONA: En tu sueños! We should use my pet piranha, Neptuna. Isn't she just precious?
HEATH: But fire sprite fits when we're winning! We'll be on fire!
LAGOONA: Neptuna would strike fear in the hearts of our enemies.
FRANKIE: I know! We'll put it to a vote. We've got a fire sprite, Neptuna... and Deuce, you said a serpent?
DEUCE: Nah, it's OK, Frankie. I'm cool with whatever.
HEATH: (yelps) Yeah, Deuce doesn't care. He's the most laid-back dude in school.
FRANKIE: That must be Coach Klopman Now remember, team, practice gets us one step closer to being the best team you can be, together! Only then will we be ready to face–
CLAWDEEN: Uh, Frankie, come on.
STUDENTS: Gakaiju?
KLOPMAN: Isn't it great? One of the founders of casketball is visiting from the ghost world to help us practice. Oh, but where's the other founder? Modirah?
GAKAIJU: No time to elaborate. Practice now! Oops. You okay?
DEUCE: (coughs) Yeah. No, I'm fine. Game on.
LAGOONA: What?
KLOPMAN: Hey! Keep up the defense! Ooh, walk it off. Lagoona, square up your shoulders! Never mind.
FRANKIE: Hey, Coach Klopman, is it OK if I work on my mech? I wanna reprogram it to help with the team.
KLOPMAN: Sure, Frankie. I love that can-do spirit. Um, good hustle, everyone!
FRANKIE: As casketball manager, it's my sacred duty to make sure the out-of-bounds balls are picked up. The vacuum function on the mech will be perfect for that. Whoa!
CLAWDEEN: Frankie's mech looks how I feel.
GHOULIA: Break. Need break.
DEUCE: Bye, Gakaiju.
GHOULIA: See ya.
LAGOONA: Adiós.
GAKAIJU: Wait! What do you wanna to do next, esteemed fellows?
DEUCE: Sorry, Gakaiju. We got class.
GAKAIJU: Oh, I understand. So you want me to join you in your academic journey, snakehead one?
RAD: No, you have to tell her we don't want her to come with us.
DEUCE: Rad, shush. It's fine. Maybe it's not my choice on now I'd spend the say, but--
GAKAIJU: So excited to hang out all day! Race to the class! (laughs) Ooh, I made it. I'm first! I win! Uh-huh, yeah! This is the victory dance! (laughs) Take it away!
DEUCE: Uh, what?
GAKAIJU: You missed the choreography. Now I'll have to start over.
MOTHMANSON: Ho, ho, Miss Gakaiju! I had a vision we'd be joined by you and your friend, Modirah.
GAKAIJU: You are incorrect, moth teacher. It's just me and, um, my new bestie, Dunce!
ENVY: It's Deuce. You have to correct her.
DEUCE: It's fine. She can call me wherever.
MOTHMANSON: Well, we're happy to have just you. Having forseen your arrival, I've brought-- (buzzes) Supplies for you. (trills) Now-- (buzzes) students, tonight, we'll be making our very own prophecy potion. Please be careful. It is extremely volatile.
GAKAIJU: Psst, Dunce, look upon my works. Hey, bestie, you're not looking!
DEUCE: What is it, Gakaiju?
MOTHMANSON: Everyone, duck!
O'SHRIEK: Welcome, class. Tonight, you'll be working on the... [evil voice] Horrifying art of improv! (clears throat) Let's improvise a scene together. Now, who should go first?
DEUCE: Not me, not me, not me.
GAKAIJU: Ooh, ooh, Dunce and I will go! We will dominate improv just like we dominate the casketball court!
O'SHRIEK: Whoa, fantastic enthusiasm! All right, class, let's give them some suggestions for a scene.
LAGOONA: They should be surfers!
CLAWDEEN: Surfers at a barbecue!
FRANKIE: Right, well, surfers at a barbecue who fall in love.
DEUCE: That sounds kind of fun. Or should I say tubular? Whoa!
GAKAIJU: Nope. No way. I have a better idea. (laughs)
DEUCE: Oh, OK, cool.
GAKAIJU: Oh, I knew you'd love it! That's why we get along so well. You wanna do everything I wanna do!
WRATH: I will get my revenge on you for making me endure improv. You have to tell Gakaiju that we can't do this anymore.
DEUCE: And ruin my rep as the most laid-back dude in school? No way. At least we can get some space during lunch.
GAKAIJU: Touchdown! Almost lost you there! Don't worry! I got you lunch! Think fast! (grunts)
GOOBERT: Yum.
GAKAIJU: Ha! I'll get you another one. Ooh, don't tell me what you want. I'm gonna make it a surprise.
WRATH: Destroy her.
DEUCE: No, Wrath. I'm not an angry dude. Whoa!
GAKAIJU: Here you go, Dunce.
FRANKIE: Are you OK, Deuce?
DEUCE: Whoa!
GOOBERT: More lunch.
GAKAIJU: Oh! I'll get you another one.
DEUCE: Hey, Frankie. Yeah, everything's fine.
FRANKIE: Why did Gakaiju call you Dunce?
DEUCE: She got my name wrong, and it's too much of a hassle to correct her. But I'm OK with it, going with the flow, cool as a boo-cumber.
WRATH: No, we're not.
DEUCE: Don't let my wrath control me.
FRANKIE: And I support that. But it's OK to say what you need without being all wrath-y about it. Like I've been learning to tell my best friends what I need and--
DEUCE: Best friend? That's it, Frankie!
FRANKIE: Huh. I wonder what "it" is.
GAKAIJU: So tomorrow, we'll start with a super early practice.
DEUCE: Oh, look who's here.
GAKAIJU: Modirah? Oh, you just had to follow me, huh?
MODIRAH: What? The gorgon kid invited me.
GAKAIJU: Yeah, right. You're the one who wants to hang out all the time, never giving me a break. Ugh, so clingy.
MODIRAH: (gasps) Clingy? I thought you liked hanging out. you never said anything! You just disappeared earlier.
DEUCE: Whoa. Hang on. Everyone, just take a breath.
GAKAIJU: Ha, good idea.
MODIRAH: Always with the fire breath with you!
GAKAIJU: Like, your laser eyes are any more original.
DEUCE: Wait, wait, wait. Calm down.
FRANKIE: I thought you could use some backup.
DEUCE: Frankie, you're a genius.
FRANKIE: Well, certainly got a few genius brain bits, but I'm not sure if they apply in this situation.
DEUCE: What do kaiju love more than anything?
FRANKIE: Well, it doesn't take a genius to know the answer to that. Fighting robots!
DEUCE: If Gakaiju and Modirah fight this bot together, they'll make up. Then they'll be best friends again and Gakaiju will leave me alone. Come on.
FRANKIE: Are you sure about this, Deuce?
DEUCE: Yeah, if these two want to fight, I'll give it to them. Kaiju, I challenge you to a battle.
MODIRAH: You want to battle? You got it.
GAKAIJU: Yeah, prepare to be annihilated, robot.
MODIRAH: You're not hitting it right! Aim higher!
GAKAIJU: You aim higher! Oh, we're going to lose!
MODIRAH: I always lost. Until I met you.
GAKAIJU: Me, too. Teammates?
MODIRAH: Teammates.
FRANKIE: Whoa.
GAKAIJU: Take that!
MODIRAH: Alley-oop!
GAKAIJU: Hey, new bestie Dunce! We beat the robot! Oh, I can't wait to tell everyone at class tomorrow!
DEUCE: What? She's still not leaving?
FRANKIE: And the mech's down for the count.
DEUCE: But what else am I supposed to do?
SNAKES: I know. You have to say something. Tell Gakaiju.
GAKAIJU: Uh-huh. Oh, yeah. This is the victory dance!
MODIRAH: Ha, ha, ha. Oh, yeah. This is the victory dance!
GAKAIJU: Hey, Dunce, did you see that?
DEUCE: Gakaiju, first off, my name is Deuce.
GAKAIJU: Uh, since when?
DEUCE: Since forever.
FRANKIE: The mech's malfunctioning. Take cover!
DEUCE: And I know this might be hard to hear, but right now, I think we should just be casketball friends, not best friends.
GAKAIJU: Sure, that's cool, Deuce. Thanks for telling me what you want. Like, I, uh, should have told Modirah. Modirah, I do still want to be your best friend. I mean, we are awesome together. (grunts) But sometimes, I need a little space. And I should tell you when I do instead of just taking off and finding a new best friend. I'm sorry.
MODIRAH: I'm sorry, too. I totally respect your boundaries. We got to work on our communication.
GAKAIJU: Come on, let's go home.
FRANKIE: Whoa!
MODIRAH: See you around.
DEUCE AND FRANKIE: Bye!
GOOBERT: Mm, tastes rubbery.
LAGOONA: I still say Neptuna!
HEATH: And I still want a fire sprite!
DEUCE: Hey, I've got something to say. I want us to consider that serpent again.
HEATH: Hey, all right!
LAGOONA: Fantastico!
FRANKIE: I knew this mech would be helpful.
