Description

Lorna McNessie just got dumped by her boyfriend - via iCoffin! Luckily her ghoulfriends and Gil and there to frighten up her day with many frightful fun things!

Summary

The ghouls are preparing Monster High's greenhouse garden for the Gloom and Bloom dance, though Cleo is less than happy about having to actually work. Gil spots Lorna watering the massive flower in the greenhouse center and explains that it's the Corpse Flower, a rare flower that only blooms once every 1300 years and is set to bloom at the Gloom and Bloom dance. He laments that Lagoona won't see it since she's still in Madread, and Lorna admits she feels the same about her boyfriend in Rotland. Suddenly she receives a text from her boyfriend, but she bursts into tears and runs out upon reading it. The ghouls pick up her phone and discover her boyfriend has broken up with her via text. They immediately decide to help cheer her up.

The ghouls visit Lorna's apartment and attempt to coax her out, even putting together a 'Skulltimate Break-Up' pack with a giant ice cream sundae. But Lorna refuses to leave. Gil asks if he could try something. Later that night, he appears at Lorna's door in his tuxedo and asks her if she would like to go to the dance with him as friends. Lorna is delighted to accept but realizes she has nothing to wear. The other ghouls immediately rush in to help her find an outfit.

The dance is in full swing, and Lorna and Gil have fun dancing. As they discuss how excited they are about the Corpse Flower blooming, Cleo overhears and states that she knew a corpse flower once, and she thinks they stink. As Gil wishes aloud that Lagoona was here to join them, Lagoona suddenly appears and is shocked to see Gil and Lorna together. Draculaura also appears, just returned from her trip to Shibooya, and notes the very awkward atmosphere...
