However, there's actually a lot that happened before this.

Earlier that week, I was walking into my school for what I thought was another normal day, only to be pleasantly surprised by what was happening.

I saw my friends talking near a poster and decided to check it out. "Hey ghouls, what's all the chatter about"? I asked. "Clawdeen, your just in time for this", Draculaura told me pointing to the poster on the wall. I stepped in to read it. "Class field trip Tuesday", I read. "Isn't this awesome", Frankie Stein asked. "Some classes, including one of ours, is taking a tropical vacation". She was right. Our class was one of three that were going to an island near the Great Scarier Reef. A place to surf, hike, and explore. It was then I realized something, Tuesday is tomorrow. "Wait so we're leaving tomorrow", I asked. "Yeah", Cleo De Nile said. "Well then I guess I know what I'm doing when I get home", I told my friends.

Later at home, I was very busy packing. I had a lot of stuff to pack for what would be almost a week long trip. During this time, I thought back to when I was the new girl at middle school. Yeah, this was before I went to Monster High. When I was shy and clumsy. I also wasn't very stylish at the time. Back then I whore sneakers, a black shirt, and blue jeans. One day I was stumbling through the halls when I bumped right into something. I dropped everything, and fell to the floor. "Hey, let me help you there", someone said to me in a slightly British tone. I smelled his feline scent as he helped me up. I then got a good look at him. He had badge skin, black hair with a very prominent red streak, a black leather jacket with a red shirt underneath, black pants and black leather boots. He also had a piercing on his left ear and two on his chin. "Thanks", I told him. "No problem", he responded as we gathered up my stuff. "Hey Zeather", some boys said as they stopped to look at what was going on. "Isn't that the dorky new girl", one of them asked. Zeather beared his teeth and hissed. "Whoa, whoa, whoa", another one said scared. "What's the big deal"? "Your trying to bully someone I'm helping", Zeather responded. "Why would you help her, of all ghouls", the first one asked. "Why can't I help", Zeather asked. "Because we can't be friends if you're helping a loser", he responded. "Well then, us not being friends is my call, because I can help who I want to", he told the boys. "And if you don't like it you can all leave, NOW GET LOST"! He roared at them and they ran off. "Wow, thanks", I told Zeather. "No problem", he responded. "I'm sorry about my friends", he told me. "You don't have to apologize", I told him. I then thought about something. "You know, I don't have many friends, so would you like to be one of the first", I asked. "Sure thing", he responded. "I'm Zeather Panthera", he said to me. "I'm Clawdeen Wolf", I responded.

I was friends with him for a little while. During this time he pushed me to be more stylish. And that's how I got to wearing what I do know. Later on though we began doing things that friends don't do like holding hands, nuzzling, and blushing when we complimented each other. Eventually we decided to go to the dance together. That night was one of the best nights of my life. Flashing back in my mind, I thought, "Zeather would love a trip like this". Unfortunately our next date resulted in us both being injured after we were hit by a byciclelist. I myself suffered a broken arm and two broken ribs, yet Zeathers injuries were strange. He did get a concussion from his head hitting the pavement, yet he also received a bloody scratch to his face. Which his doctor said should heal. Yet strangely, it never did. We split up after that, as he told me he needed some time to process that he was now scarred for the rest of his life. I tried to convince him to stay with me, but he disappeared after that, and I haven't seen him since. I kept thinking about him all night.

Cleo had all her stuff packed for my trip and decided to go check out that old lab her sister told her about. "Where do think you're going Cleo", Nefera asked her. "None of your business sis", she told her as she walked out the door.

She found that the door to the lab was unlocked when she got there. Nefera probably picked it while she was there. She went inside and took a look around. She saw mostly a lot of abandoned equipment. That was until she found an area with some open space. In that area, she found a bunch of plastic bits and parts. She then found a leg, one that looked like it belonged to a dinosaur toy. And after looking around more she found a severely damaged body, a tail, an arm, a head, and the other leg. The toy look like it was torn apart by bear hands. "What would have done this to a toy", she thought. Then she had an idea. Frankie Stein had been wanting a present for a little while now. So if she wanted to, she could use the fact that the toy was based on a reptile to insult her looks if she could repair it. And maybe could style it a  bit to make it look like her as well. She saw a paper and pen near her and decided to write a small letter to my her. She wrote.

"Dear Frankie, I heard that you've been wanting a present for some time now and I've decided to give you this as that present".

She decided to not write any more as she wondered if it was electronic. And if so, if she could get it to work. So Cleo gathered up the pieces and headed to her house.

When Cleo got home, she got to work on fixing the toy. She started by working on the wires and attaching limbs. Once she was done she used a screwdriver to open up the battery compartment on the bottom of the still remaining foot and replacing the batteries. Surprisingly she got she to work. She pushed a button on it's back near it's tail and it's eyes lit up, it's jaw opened, it straightened it's body, and roared. It then moved to the side growling. She took her finger off the button. It growled for a second, then stopped moving and growling. All that was left was the body repairs. She dug into a spare parts bin and found another damaged dinosaur toy. She removed one of it's arms, feet, teeth, and some plastic chunks. She first attached the arm by pushing it's joint through the hole on the side of the toy under it's shoulder. Once it was through she moved the arm to make sure it fit. She then took the screws out of the toys leg so she could put on it's new foot. Once she was done she was done there she put the screws back into the leg of the toy and did a similar thing to reattach it's it's tail. Then using super glue she began attaching bits and pieces of plastic. She also decided to paint some pupils for it's eyes while she was at it, and screwed screw's into the side of it's neck.  When she was all done she finished her letter and put it in on of the plastic crack's in the toys torso. Cleo then packaged it up and walked to Frankie's dorm where she set it down and walked off.
