I've wanted a Nightmare Before Christmas/Monster High crossover for a while. But I need a partner who's willing to let me poke fun at the fact the MH characters are based off fashion dolls.

Lock grimaced as Chad killed the mood right before he could get a kiss. He winced at Lillith's fingernails and took his glass back from her when she shoved it in his hand. Lillith pulled him back up. Lock glared at Chad and took a defeated sip of his punch.
Shock, however, laughed at him, not because of Chad's comment, but the misery her little brother gained as a result. Sobki found himself chuckling.
"You walked right into that one," Shock said.
Lock flipped her off and took another drink of his punch. Over at the snack table, Barrel found himself giggling too. Lock was pretty short. He quickly composed himself and turned to Agatha. He saw her briefly glance at Chad as she mentioned it was getting "crowded" before batting her eyes. Maybe she had something in them? In any case, she was probably trying to be polite in getting away from Chad.
"Yeah, sure," he said.
Barrel finished his snacks, chugged down the rest of the cider he had, then offered his arm to Agatha.

Shock revelled in the new peace, and briefly discussed the mechanics of the bomb she built at the Finklesteins' lab with Sobki, as after the initial thanks, he genuinely was interested in some of the mayhem Jack let them get away with.
"Now, I can't give away all my tricks," Shock explained, "but let's just say the counterweights were precise. The second she picked it up..."
"...She throws the balance off," Sobki said.
"Exactly!" Shock said. "Ka-BOOM!"
She lifted her arms (and now-empty glass) with an enthusiastic jump. Sobki awkwardly laughed with her afterwards. He sipped his punch and conveniently stepped to block Shock's line of sight as Chad came back.
Lock smirked at Chad's response.
"Oh, I've got a strong tongue, all right."
He glanced up at Lillith with a suggestive quirk of his brows. Shock glowered for a second, then moved to take a drink herself, before remembering the emptiness of her glass. Her glower melted into a devious little smile as she realized she and her brothers could still fuck with Chad.
Barrel awkwardly returned the fist bump and stuffed another poison puff in his mouth solely so he wouldn't have to speak to Chad.
Damn. What a waste of adderpepper juice.
Shock excused herself from Sobki to get more pumpkin lager. She ignored Chad as she grabbed a pastry, stuffed it into her mouth, and made her way back to Sobki.
Lock went back to Lillith. He drank more of his punch to further counter that awful beer. He found the cup pulled from his hands mid-sip, and himself falling back into Lillith's awaiting arm. With a small yelp, he reached to wrap his arms around her neck. Once he recovered, Lock smirked and reached up to kiss her. His tail found its way behind her to give a gentle, retaliatory slap on her ass.

Barrel shrugged.
"That works," he said. "He just needs to tolerate it a little longer."
If Agatha asked, he'd just tell her what little truth he gleaned from the tapping code: that they were keeping Chad off-guard, and Lock's job was to keep Chad from noticing anything was off with the beer. He was just assisting.
Barrel played lookout to make sure Lock didn't notice Agatha spiking his drink. He was too preoccupied with his girlfriend. Shock didn't notice, either, as Sobki decided to take advantage of her current good mood to politely chat with her. The crocodile-headed teen was polite to a fault, and intended to spend at least a little time with each of the trio to ensure his gratitude for the invitation.
Chad came back a second time, and decided to crack open a new beer instead of attempting to drink from the tainted one again. Lock had by that time went to the snack table to get himself and Lillith some punch. As Chad was there, he picked up his own Bludlite can and took a drink from it.
It was still awful, but that time...huh. It wasn't as bad as last time. Maybe he was getting used to it? Death, he hoped not. Lock got himself and Lillith some punch, then wandered back to his girlfriend.
Barrel stuffed a rodent roll in his mouth to help keep back his laughter from the look he caught on Lock's face.

Barrel had only been halfway paying attention to Lock and Carver. He picked out something about the Bludlite being used to keep Chad off-guard, but otherwise was more interested in snacks, and then maybe joining the dance. He downed a whole bottle of the Frankensteiniken's before he answered.
Maybe, he tapped on the bottle.
He set the bottle on the table and gently tapped against it, now that Lock was out of earshot and happily rejoined with Lillith.
Why can't you do it?
Carver stuffed a few more snacks into their front mouth to have an excuse to not talk. He tapped Barrel's shoulder in response.
Because she probably figured out I stole the adderpepper juice, so she's not going to believe me.
Barrel just shrugged. That made sense. He thought for a moment, then turned to Agatha.
"Lock said nothing can make that taste better," he said as he pointed to her purse. "I think that might."

Lock rolled his eyes and set the can down on the snack table and instead got a cup of pumpkin punch to try to wash the taste out of his mouth.
Fine, he tapped out. But I can't take more than a sip without gagging.
He finished the punch and headed back over to Lillith. The night was still young, and they still had some time to dance in peace before Chad got back and the fun began again.

Sobki started to laugh and quickly clamped his hand over his jaws to keep them shut. Even so, he was still very clearly laughing. All things considered, Chad was getting off easy, so he didn't feel too bad. Hopefully, this was the kick in the pants he needed to be more wary of the trio and better behave himself.
Barrel clutched the edge of the snack table to keep himself standing. Lock fell to the floor and pulled himself up after a moment.
Shock only remained standing because she had prepared herself for the fallout. She took a self-rewarding drink of her pumpkin lager upon composing herself...and caught Carmilla in the corner of her eye. That lifted her mood even more.
"And here I thought we already had tonight's entertainment planned!"
Barrel shrugged and tossed another poison puff in his mouth.
"Surprises are always fun," he said.
"And he contributed more than just some shitty beer," Lock said.
His amusement faded when he realized he could still taste the Bludlite after consuming snacks. Lock picked the can back up and stared at it.
"Not sure if anything can make it taste better."
When Chad came back, the trio acted as if nothing had happened. And when he picked up his beer can again, they all prepared for round two. Chad earned himself another round of wicked laughter which only got worse when he made a mad dash back for the bathroom.
Shock dropped the act for good and called after him.
"Catch you later, hot stuff!"
If that didn't teach him, she'd just have to pull out her lesson plan.

Sobki left the ghouls to their conversation and wandered over to Carmilla. Maybe she'd appreciate some company. Lock put a hand behind his back to flip Carver off without Lillith noticing as he gave her a kiss. He couldn't help he was a lightweight!
"Sure thing," he said.
Lock pondered Carver's suggestion on the way to the table. Fuck it, no one said he had to drink the entire thing. He got what Lillith requested and brought it to her, before he made his way back to help himself. Lock pulled out a can with his tail.
Barrel grabbed for some of the other snacks on the table and ate while Carver and Agatha discussed the daphnius potion improvements. He made sure to watch his sister and Chad. He couldn't wait to see someone else suffer the affects of the adderpepper juice.
As Chad came over to take the dare, Lock put his plate down long enough to crack open the Bludlite can in his presence and take a sip.
Ugh, this stuff was awful! Lock kept the can tilted up just enough to hide his grimace, then gripped the can in his tail again. Hopefully, the death dip would overpower the taste. He saw Shock calmly sipping her pumpkin lager in the corner of his eye. She'd dropped all pretenses of sweetness and now watched Chad's back with a focused stare. She pulled her drink from her lips as Chad took a drink of his beer.
Her brothers followed suit and put down drinks and swallowed anything they were currently chewing on, because their trouble senses all wildly rang.
At Chad's shout, all three of them started laughing. Sobki, who had attempted to engage Carmilla in conversation, looked over at the start of the trainwreck. He forgot what he was saying immediately as Chad asked for the bathroom.
"Uh..."
Shock anticipated the end result of her trick. She got ahold of herself first and gestured toward the jagged orange door with an eerie calmness.
"In there, down the hall, bedroom on the left, back of the room," she said, having turned the sweetness back on just for this.
Lock and Barrel laughed even harder.
"Sure thing," he said.

Lock and Barrel laughed even harder.
Sobki laughed at Carver's shot about the redneck zombies, but then immediately pulled his hand up to the front of his snout to hold back further laughter. While it was funny, it was also pretty mean. Barrel, however, had no such qualms.
"Even I'm not that dumb!"
He grinned at Agatha.
"Thanks!"
Grateful for the distraction from Carver's joke, Sobki tried one as well. It went down his crocodile jaws in one bite, though he let it slide along his tongue as he tilted his head back to swallow it.
"Oh, that really melts in your mouth!" he said. "And the flavor bursts like a mushroom spore."
Sobki grabbed another one to enjoy.
Lock rolled his eyes.
"I picked you because you can sing," he said. "Happy?"
Shock ignored their bickering and Chad's failure to sink his crushed beer can into the trash. She returned Carmilla's glare, then just waited patiently with a new beer for Chad and a sweet smile on her face.
Lock danced around Lillith in accompaniment. His tail brushed against her legs as he slid behind her. He snickered at Chad.
"Hopefully in a hearse," he said, in regards to "going on".
Lock took Lillith's hand to kiss as they finished their dance, and gently tugged her arm so he could kiss her cheek. He saw Carver's tapping in the corner of his eye and tapped a response with his tail while he asked Lillith if she wanted anything from the snack table while he was heading over there.
And waste my tolerance on that garbage? Make Barrel do it.
One of Shock's eyes twitched at Chad's singing. Having been visiting the mortal realm for over a century, she had some knowledge of its more popular music. And Lock's band - and her singing - were nothing like Linkin Park. Still, she kept a genteel expression and her tone dripping with sugary sweetness.
"I got you another beer," she said, "so I dare you to try a poison puff."
"Even I'm not that dumb!"
He grinned at Agatha.

"I got you another beer," she said, "so I dare you to try a poison puff."
"I don't think he means any harm," Sobki said, "but he's only here for a day or two, then disappears for weeks, so I don't know much beyond surface level."
He took an awkward sip of his punch.
"I don't 'hang out' with him so much as I try to keep him out of too much trouble, but that...didn't work out this time."
Lock's glare softened more into amusement when Chad turned his focus to Carmilla.
"Actually," he corrected, "I picked them for talent. If I wanted eye candy, I would've recruited Agatha."
He nuzzled against Lillith again and directed her away so they could dance - and to get out of range of his older sister.
"Oh," Shock said with feigned ignorance. "I must have misheard."
Much to her dismay, he chugged the rest of his beer before she could spike it. However, another opportunity presented itself.
"Then I'll get you another drink so you can try one, then," she said sweetly, "because Barrel worked so hard on them."
This, actually, would work better.
Lock's tail pointed towards a trash can by one of the couches.
"Over there," he said.
Shock waited for Chad to turn to toss the beer can so he wouldn't see what she held when she turned away. She observed the snack table and located the Bludlite box. No way in hell was she gonna waste the good stuff for this. Shock set her glass on the snack table, then knelt down to open the box, crack open a can, and put a drop of adder pepper juice into it. She then closed the bottle and hid it in her pocket, before she grabbed the Bludlite can, retrieved her drink, and headed right back to Chad to hand it to him. Shock sipped her own drink, before she picked up the prior conversation.
"It's a shame you want a guy singing," she said, "because I did the voicework."
