CHAPTER 7

Back at Monster High, Lagoona and Cleo were still trying to reach a compromise on Twyla’s new room.

“Let’s start over, this time from the ground up,” Lagoona suggested.

Cleo sighed so deeply that her gold-streaked bangs fluttered. “Well, in terms of pure luxury, like I already said, the velvet carpets I picked are the only way to go,” she said.

“Okay,” Lagoona said as she started a list. “Velvet carpets. How about these blue ones? They’re made from recycled fibers!”

Cleo shook her head. “No, no, you’ve got to go with black,” she replied.

“Black velvet carpets,” Lagoona said. “Now, for sheets and blankets, how about this one I picked for my inspiration board? It’s so light and airy and eco-friendly! I think Twyla would love it!”

“Right… except it’s going to clash terribly,” Cleo replied, scrunching up her nose. “Those blankets will be all wrong with the carpets.”

Lagoona put down her pen. “So what sort of blankets won’t clash with the carpets you picked?” she asked.

Cleo tapped her inspiration board. “Definitely these garnet silk ones with the gold trim,” she said.

“What about these flowy curtains I picked?” Lagoona tried again. “They’re sheer enough that the sunshine will stream through the windows and fill Twyla’s room with light!”

“It’s not that I don’t like them,” Cleo began. “It’s just that they’re all wrong for everything else in my room. I mean, Twyla’s room.”

“Let me guess: They’re going to clash terribly,” Lagoona said in a dull voice.

“I couldn’t agree more,” Cleo replied.

“But Cleo, are you really saying that it’s impossible to combine ideas from both our inspiration boards?” Lagoona asked. “I think the room you designed looks fintastic—but I’m pretty proud of my own designs too.”

Cleo glanced over at Lagoona’s inspiration board. “Well, maybe we could use your… no. Or how about your… no, that wouldn’t work, either…” she said.

After Cleo’s voice trailed off, there was a long silence.

“If we can’t find any compromise, maybe we need to start over,” Lagoona finally said brightly.

“Sure,” Cleo said with a shrug. “Instead of starting from the ground up, let’s start from the ceiling down.”

But Lagoona shook her head. “That’s not exactly what I meant,” she replied. “I mean start over completely—from scratch.”

“What? Why?” Cleo exclaimed. She held up her inspiration board. “I’ve already designed the perfect room! I’d love to live in a room like this!”

“Cleo, that’s exactly the problem!” Lagoona replied. “I feel the same way about the room I designed. Don’t you see?”

“See what?” Cleo asked.

“We both designed the perfect rooms—for ourselves,” Lagoona explained. “Of course I’d feel at home in my room; it’s inspired by the Great Barrier Reef. And unless I’m totally wrong here, I’m guessing that your room is inspired by the pyramid style from back home. Am I right?”

Cleo stared at the inspiration boards. “Yes,” she said. “You’re totally right.”

“We made the same mistake,” Lagoona said, and then she started to laugh. “We designed our dream rooms, not Twyla’s!”

After a moment, Cleo started to laugh too. “Well, I guess I’ll be ready whenever I want to redecorate,” she said.
