(Human world, skatepark. A young manster named Deuce is about to jump off the ranmp and go skateboarding.)
" Now to catch some air' Deuce muttered, as he leaped down onto the ramp, doing a perfect air flip. " Dude, look out!' A skater cried, as Deuce felt the wind get knocked out of him, and his beanue slipped off, showing his snake hair. " Snake?' A girl asked. " Hi' Deuce gulped, as he ran as fast as his legs could carry him, " Not again' Deuce muttered.
" Mikrôkosmos! To deîpno eînai schedôn ètomo!' Medusa called. " Hi, Moms. Ooh, yay, souvlaki!' Stheno grinned. " It's your brother's favorite, so of course we had to make it. Eurayle, can you go round up Deuce and the twins, sweetheart?' Lyra asked. " Deuce isn't in his room' Athena chimed in. " What?!' Medusa and Lyra cried. " Deuce! Come down here, sweetheart. We made your favorite!' Lyra chimed in. No answer. " Deuce Aleksander!' Medusa cried. " Yeah?' Deuce asked. " Where were you? It's dinner time and it's dark out' Medusa asked. " I bet he was in the monster world..' Eurayle teased, as she glared at her older brother. She never understood his fascination with the monster world. " Ok,, I might've been in the monster world, but I feel like I belong there! We're monsters, aren't we?' Deuce scoffed. " We're not allowed there, Deuce. Monsters don't respond well to gorgons, and you know this!' Medusa cried. " Ok, why don't we all calm down? Deuce, your mother just wants you to be careful of your surroundings, sweetheart. ' Dusa, you need to start trusting him more, he knows what to do if something happens' Lyra chimed in, as the gorgon sighed and skulked off to his bedroom. " Want me to go check on him?' Stheno asked. " No, no. I think your brother needs some space right now, come sit' Lyra softly answered.

" Deuce?' Medusa asked, as she carefully knocked on her son's door.
" What?' Deuce sniffled, as he rubbed his eyes. " I owe you an apology, son. I'm sorry for yelling at you, sweetheart. I just get worried about you being out there alone. Someone could've seen you or you could've gotten hurt' Medusa softly murmured. " I know. But I was careful, I promise. Which reminds me, I got this letter today ' Deuce grinned, a he pulled out a red envelope and handed it to his mother. " And what is this?' Medusa asked. " That is my acceptance letter to Monster High. Can I go?' Deuce grinned. " Deuce, I don't-' Medusa began. " Mom, please. I just want a chance to belong somewhere. I mean, I can't even go out in public or to the park without getting chased. That's all I want, a place to call my own' Deuce pleaded, as he stared into his. mother's eyes. " You're right. You do deserve a chance to go live your life the way you want to, be a normal monster' Medusa grinned. " So I can go?' Deuce asked. ' I don't see why not' Medusa grinned. " Yay! Oh, thank you, Mom!' Deuce grinned, as he jumped into her arms. " Yoy're welcome, sweetheart. But, I'm going to be checking on your grades and on you 24/7. Got it?' Medusa asked. " Got it. Thanks, Mom' Deuce grinned, as he hugged her again. " Of course, sweetheart. And remember, the achool is serious about keeping sirens out. You really got to keep that part of you secret' Medusa begged. " I will, I promise. Can Stheno and Eurayle come too?' Deuce asked. He would like to have his sisters with him. " We'll see how the first semester goes for you, then maybe they can join in the middle of the second semester' Medusa answered. " Sweet! I'm gonna start packing. Thanks, Mom' Deuce grinned, as he stared out his bedroom window and sighed. He was finally going to a place where he belonged. ' Monster High, here i come' Deuce muttered.

" Deuce? Where are you going?' Athena asked, noticing her big brother's suitcase. " Uh..' Deuce gulped. " Isn't it obivious? He's going into the stupid monster world' Eurayle snorted. " Eurayle' Lyra scolded. " I don't understand why you're so fascinated with it, Deuce. We will never be-' Eurayle began. " Because you're too sheltered, and you listen to the normies instead, yet the ones who are we evil? Tell me if that sounds like a good world to live in' Deuce scoffed. No answer. " Sweetheart, this could be a good thing for your brother. And he'll come back home on weekends-' Medusa began. " But what if something happens to him?! Deuce, please think about this, bro' Eurayle pleaded, as the gorgon sighed. " Eurayle, I know you're worried about me and I appreciate it, sis, but I can handle myself, and I'll try and come back home on weekends' Deuce assured. " You better. Also, I'm taking your room' Eurayle snorted, as she playfully punched his arm and they all hugged. " You should get going, sweetheart, it's gonna be dark out soon' Lyra encouraged. " Right. Do you have everything, son?' Medusa asked, as Deuce nodded. " Ok then. I'll call you on my way home, my love' Medusa assured. " Yeah, please do. I love you, my boy. Have a good first year, okay? Try and make friends, and stay out of trouble. Promise?' Lyra asked. " I promise, Mama Lyra, and I love you too' Deuce sniffled, as the gorgon tightly hugged her before he followed his mother outside. " This is what I've been waiting for' Deuce muttered, grinning.
