[ticking, groaning]
DRACULAURA: Yikes.
FRANKIE: That's not good.
[screaming]
HEADMISTRESS BLOODGOOD: Is everyone ok?
FRANKIE: I can't believe I couldn't solve it.
DRACULAURA: This is the worst night of my--[gasps]
[portaling]
DRACULA: [screaming] Nailed it!
DRACULAURA: Dad!
DRACULA: Princess!
DRACULAURA: How'd you escape the Not-So Realm?
DRACULA: [chuckles] I just followed the steps in this handy little video.
CLEO: [gasps] Is that my iCoffin? Thank ra! I mean, welcome back Dracula.
FRANKIE: [gasps] That's it!
CLEO: I know that face! Frankie figured it out!
DRACULA: Can we do this somewhere else? This slime is horrible for my pores.
[dramatic music]
FRANKIE: The earmworms. You remember the brainwashing? And the cursed pyramid! That portaled monsters to impending doom when they said the secret word.
CLEO: You mean "end"?
DRACULA: [screams]
FRANKIE: Every monster who was portaled said the word "end". Except one.
[gasping]
DRACULA: Ooh.
CLEO: Drama.
FRANKIE: That monster is...dramatic pause...
DRACULA: You don't have to say dramatic pause, just make us feel it.
FRANKIE: Thank you, Dracula. Anyway, it's Deuce!
[gasping]
DEUCE: That's ridiculous!
FRANKIE: But wait! There's more... This isn't an earworm, it's an algae poof.
[squishy sounds, disgusted reactions]
DRACULA: Yuck.
CLAWDEEN: Sorry! This is the algae poof.
[crunching sounds, gasping]
DRACULA: Ooh! This is so exciting.
FRANKIE: Here's what happened.
FRANKIE: [V.O.] When collecting the earworms, Clawdeen mistakenly picked up a spilled algae poof.
CLAWDEEN: They do look surprisingly similar.
FRANKIE: Meaning one of us is still earwormed. So while Deuced didn't say the secret word, someone near him did. ♪ Confess to me and be earmworm free! ♪
DEUCE: It was me! It was me!?
SNAKE #1: Fine, you got us. We've been controlling Deuce all night.
DEUCE: [gaps] I remember everything. How could you do this?!
WRATH: It all started when Deuce was preparing for the dance.
DEUCE: Well, I have everything I need to perfect my blue fearsome frosty and pink poltergeist punch.
Music: ♪ Abbey, you look so cool ♪
DEUCE: Ooh. [humming]
[door creaks]
DEUCE: [gasps] No! What happened? I can't believe this.
WRATH: [V.O.] Deuce was upset. And we were angry!
[snakes hissing]
SNAKE #2: [V.O.] Then we saw the earworm code and it all fell into place.
[button pressing, error noises]
SNAKE #2: [V.O.] But the code didn't work, so Wrath smashed the glass.
WRATH: No regrets!
SNAKE #2: ♪ Now is your chance. Take revenge at the dance. ♪
SNAKE #3: [V.O.] We framed Toralei and threw in an extra twist...the Formal Phantom.
[magic flash]
SNAKE #3: [V.O.] We stole the Abbey song.
[crashing, fire blazes]
SNAKE #3: [V.O.] We hacked the fog machines.
[furious typing]
WRATH: [V.O.] And we filled the disco ball with Deuce's destroyed snacks. Poetic justice!
[goo pouring]
WRATH: [V.O.] We were almost caught by Cleo.
CLEO: Yeah, I did not even remotely realize you were there. Right over my head.
WARTH: [V.O.] But we destroyed our protection pyramid.
[scribbling, electricity sparks]
SNAKE #2: And all we had to do was release the earworms and queue the song.
CLEO: Wait, so did you know ruining my pyramid would make those portals happen?
WRATH: No! But a delightful surprise.
DEUCE: And you portaled us on purpose?
SNAKE #2: That got away from us. But we had to! Frankie remembered too much.
SNAKE #3: But we made it for the big finale.
CLEO: Yeah, we remember.
DEUCE: You know, my ruined snacks seemed like a big deal at the time, but overreacting about something so small turned into something so much worse.
DRACULAURA: It's not the end of the world when something goes wrong. I'm starting to realize that myself.
DEUCE: Thanks, Draculaura. Just to be clear, there are no more pranks, right?
WRATH: [snickers]
[muffled sounds]
CLAWDEEN: Wait. What's that sound?
[box thudding, suspenseful music]
DRACULA: What's in the box?
[suspenseful music, box opens]
DRACULA: [screams]
BLOODGOOD: Deuce, contain those snakes or you'll be wearing a snake net for the rest of the year!
DEUCE: Too far, Wrath.
WRATH: [snickers]
CLEO: [gaps] Oh my ra!
FRANKIE: CLEO! What is it?
CLEO: I accidentally posted this video of Dracula, and it already has like a bajillion more likes than any of mine.
[music playing]
DRACULA: ♪ Waltzing wolves, zombies creep. Flossing ghosts, grim reapers reap. Big foot whoa, mummy leg sweep. Into the portal, take a leap! ♪
CLEO [gasps] Do you wanna collab?
DRACULA: I'm flattered. I think I'm busy that day?
DRACULAURA: Headmistress, can we get this party back on track?
BLOODGOOD: Absolutely. I'm just glad that the Formal Phantom hasn't returned.
DRACULA: Now, that's a reason to celebrate!
[cheering]
CLAWDEEN: Oh yeah! Oh yeah!
DRACULAURA: [V.O.] Well, tonight wasn't certainly perfect. But my dad, Clawd and all my friends are here. And hey, at least Monster High wasn't dragged into another dimension. At the end of the night, that's all that really matters.
[smoke flying, music playing, pages flipping, symbol appears and glows]
