*Frankie is in her cheerleading uniform with the other girls from her school, hanging in the wings behind what looks to be a wooden stage set up outdoors. They look around the edge, watching a group of vampire girls performing a cheerleading routine in front of a crowd. One of the girls in Frankie's squad gasps.*

Aren't those...

Your moves?

*The girls all turn around to see a laughing werecat or bakeneko about their age, backstage where she hadn't been before.*

That's right! Your routine, "scientifically designed to win", in the hands of the enemy! I wonder how that happened? *She gives a falsely innocent smile, and two more cat girls appear out of the shadows.*

*Frankie's eyes widen.* My video! *She goes to hold back a growling teammate.*

Told you to watch your back.

*The cats stand in formation and do some mocking cheerleading moves.*

Monster High wants the spirit staff, yes you do!
But we stole your routine, boo hoo hoo!

*Clawdeen wrenches free of Frankie and growls at the werecats, chasing them off as they laugh and jump over the side of the stage into the lake -- or rather, into a rowboat they had waiting for them.*

Good luck! You'll need it.

*The cheerleading squad slumps.*

It's over...

After all my hard work! *The rest of the squad looks at Cleo unimpressed, and she coughs.* ...Our hard work.

*The MC's voice cuts in from the stage.* And now, Monster High.

*Frankie looks pleadingly at Cleo.* What are we gonna do?

...We can improvise.

(Frankie, Clawdeen, Cleo, Toralei. She'll be replying later.)
