Lagoona: she keeps Nosbearatu together with Senior Squeaky in her bag. Despite Draculaura telling Count she’s too old for the stuffy to make her feel better it was still very important to her and she figured with Lagoona’s love of cute things she’d appreciate the meaning of such a gift. She very much did.

Draculaura: A small sketchbook Lagoona kept back in her Castillo that was already filled by the time she arrived at Monster High. The first time Draculaura flipped through it she couldn’t help the feeling that she gained a deeper understanding of who Lagoona was. What her fears and dreams were, it was all in those pages which Draculaura treasured greatly.

Oh and she wears Lagoona’s hoodie every chance she gets that Lagoona has to (playfully) fight her to get it back, so there’s that too.

Clawdeen: The first ICoffin charm Spectra had ever gotten is now the first Clawdeen has ever gotten. It’s of a small Purple Heart, wrapped in chains and held together with a lock. When Clawdeen asked if there was a key that came with it, Spectra’s answer of “She’s the one holding it” completely knocked the wolf out of her until she was nothing but a crying mess.

Spectra: Clawdeen spent days thinking of what to give Spectra after the charm incident. She wanted to give the ghost something just as meaningful but the most important thing to her was the Moonclaw and she couldn’t give that. Or could she?

The first time Clawdeen took it off to put it around Spectra’s neck it was Spectra’s turn to fight tears. This was her lost mom’s necklace and though she wasn’t quite giving it to her Clawdeen was telling Spectra ‘I trust you to keep it safe.’ A job Spectra took quite seriously as she refuses to let anyone too close to it or even remove it unless Clawdeen asks for it.

Frankie: at first they had to fight with Cleo when she tried to give them the jar with her heart in it. Yes it was very sweet and incredibly swoon worthy a gesture but they didn’t want to be the reason Cleo turned heartless around others if they were too far apart. Cleo was too beautiful for that and so they settled on something else just as sweet but slightly less important. The only stone Cleo had that meant more to her than a shiny bauble for it was one of the first Nefera had ever given her back when they were children and their relationship wasn’t as strained. It didn’t look like much because it wasn’t, it was something Nefera picked up off the ground and thought her sister would like. She never knew Cleo kept it all this time.

Dragoona: 1000% Lagoona, when the ghoul discovered she had feelings for the adorable vampire it didn’t even take a second before the sea monster was in front of her dorm room with flowers carved from the bones of finemies she recently eaten and a box of chocolates she may have possibly maybe stolen from somewhere, but does Draculaura really need to know that? No, of course not. Lagoona made a big spectacle of it too, it wasn’t enough to just say she liked Draculaura. No she didn’t say it, she sang it using the words of a teranovela she once saw with her grandmonster.

How she managed to pull it off is something no one will ever know.

Clankie: Frankie, after careful deliberation and debating with themselves about the pros and cons of whatever action they took they had finally decided to just go for it. And they did right before the Monster Ball. At first they were trying to go for a grand elaborate spectacle (even going so far to ask Lagoona for advice on such) only for it to end up being rather simple. Despite appearances Cleo was more than happy with a simple “I like you.” To which her response was “I like you too.”

Spawdeen: Both. They were partnered together in Screech class and the assignment was to bring awareness to a serious topic. Their topic was interspecies marriage to which Clawdeen gave an epic monologue on how there’s no reason a werewolf and a ghost couldn’t fall in love and live happily ever after. For once Spectra had no words in response as she found herself imagining just such a scenario. Not even realizing when that werewolf became Clawdeen, and that unbeknownst to her something similar was happening in the other’s imagination.

~~~~Dragoona Getting Ready~~~~

Draculaura: Lagoona, what kind of event did you say this was again?

Lagoona: It’ll be fun, trust me.

Draculaura smiles: I do trust you.

*Later*

Lagoona: CRUSH HIS SKULL!

Draculaura: I am never trusting you again.

~~~~Clankie shopping~~~

Frankie: Oooo pretty

Cleo: You like that?

Frankie: Yeah! It’s so cute and-wait Cleo.

Cleo: Store person, I will take 20 of these!

Employee: Ma’am we can’t sell you those.

Cleo: I SAID 20!

Frankie: Cleo, please, what am I gonna do with twenty doors.

~~~~Spawdeen on a Nature Walk~~~~

Leader of the three stooges: Hey guys look, it’s Monster girl talking to herself again.

Clawdeen: Haha, very funny guys….Okay Spectra you can come out now, they’re gone.

Spectra: Clawdeen, who were they?

Clawdeen: Oh, just some humans who would often tease me.

Spectra:…..

Clawdeen: Uhhh Spectra, where are you g-oh no.

Lagoona will often give special “gifts” she considers romantic to Draculaura, but for Drac there’s almost always something concerning about these gifts. The last one she got was literally just a frozen heart that Goona proudly claimed to have ripped out of the chest of her greatest enemy.

Cleo’s habit when it comes to Frankie is much less grotesque and worrisome and much more just seeing how much she can spoil her themfriend. That is until the time Frankie almost ended up buried alive and so Cleo is only allowed to give up to three gifts at a time. To which she reluctantly agreed.

Some monsters are born to last

Others are born to pass

Vampires, ghosts, and mummies

From time they are free

Werewolves and sea monsters

Will one day cease to be

But where does a simulacrum lie?

In time will they die?

Or will they stand the test

And be burdened like all the rest

With memories made by reason

When eternity loved a season

Just thinking about how some monsters like Draculaura, Spectra, and Cleo are immortal and monsters like Clawdeen and Lagoona aren’t. I could never figure out about Frankie though but saying that they’re in the mortal club would make the fact that these are all bittersweet ships just that much more heartbreaking. One destined to live while the other dies. Not just heartbreaking for the ships but for the friends too.

Where else would it begin but at the casketball court. Clawdeen is playing 1v1 against Clawd while Spectra and Deuce stand on the sidelines talking amongst themselves. Pretending not to notice when the Wolf siblings look over toward them. Or when Clawdeen gets a mouthful of leaves after crashing into a bush around the same time Spectra decided to show off this new move she’s been working on.

Frankie laughs and proceeds to keep walking inside the building where they pass by the open door of the library. Inside you could see Twyla excitedly pointing out something from her book to the wolf next to her. The wolf was Howleen, and while Frankie has never seen anything other than blank or smug from her, the expression on her face was one of peaceful happiness as she listened quietly to what Twyla had to say.

Seems Twyla took notice of Frankie cause the ghoul raises her hand to wave. Prompting Howleen to look up and give a small wave of her own when she sees who it is.

Frankie gives a wave back before continuing on. It’s not long until they’re passing the doors to the indoor swimming pool, only slightly safer than the outdoor one. Here they can see a silhouette moving rapidly underneath the water’s surface. While nearby but not too close sits Draculaura and Manny. Talking excitedly with open books scattered around them. Every so often Draculaura would look towards the water and cheer loudly at something Lagoona had just done before giving her attention back to Manny.

Frankie gives a small smile as they continue forward until they reach the clawditorium. This is where they find Cleo setting up props for the next play with her sister Nefera. The two look over to see who just came in and the look Cleo gives them sends gentle sparks throughout their body.

Whenever Lagoona gets in a bad mood (sad, angry, etc.) she’ll tend to retreat to her tank and sulk on her bed. Normally everyone, including Drac, will leave her alone but one day Draculaura decides to fly up to the top of the tank and perch upon its edge. She’ll then proceed to hum a lullaby while creating small ripples upon the waters surface by dipping a clawed toe in and moving it in circles.

At first she didn’t think it did much but it turned out the mixture of sound and movement reaching Lagoona’s senses actually did a lot to help comfort her. So from then on Drac would try to do it as often as she could. Unless Lagoona was very angry then she’d just leave her be.

Small Spawdeen HC:

Clawdeen, along with Frankie’s help, spent a lot of time creating a device in which she could carry Spectra around in. Eventually she succeeds in making something she can fit in her backpack that Spectra can still see and hear through plus come in and out of when she pleases. It especially comes in handy when Clawdeen goes to the human world to see her dad and wants to bring her ghoulfriend along with her. At first Spectra thought it a neat idea until she found out about Pokémon. Now she teases Clawdeen every chance she gets for basically turning her into one.

Clawdeen: It’s not a Pokeball! And even if it was wouldn’t that mean I’d be choosing you every time?

Spectra: Awwww Clawdeen, that is both really sweet and incredibly cringe… I gotta tweet this.
