CHAPTER 7

The four ghouls worked on their projects late into the night. The next morning, they were up bright and early—and ready for adventure!

“But first, a good breakfast,” Dracula told the ghouls as he served them stacks of waffles with boo-berries and syrup. “I don’t want you Mapaloguing all over the world on an empty stomach.”

“Thanks, Dad,” Draculaura said as she took a big bite.

“Are you sure you’re all ready for your trip today?” Dracula asked with an edge of anxiety in his voice. “Is there anything else you need?”

“Don’t worry about us, Mr. D.,” Clawdeen replied confidently. “We aren’t just prepared. We’re monstrously prepared!” It was true. All the ghouls had packed waterproof bags with their canteens, snacks, and anything else they thought they might need on the trip.

But that wasn’t all. Draculaura’s eyes twinkled as she unzipped her bag. “Ready for a little show-and-tell?” she asked. “First up, Frankie!”

The bolts in Frankie’s neck lit up as she showed everyone the scu-boo gear she’d built. “These masks are specially designed for deep waters. We might be under pressure, but we sure won’t feel it!” she said. “And check out these oxygen tanks. They’re filled with a super-condensed form of oxygen I pressurized in the lab. They barely weigh anything—but we’ll be able to breathe for at least twenty hours underwater!”

“Ghoul, that is clawesome!” Clawdeen cheered. “Cleo and I were busy yesterday too. Check it out!”

With a big flourish, Clawdeen and Cleo presented Frankie with her new wetsuit. The look on Frankie’s face shifted from confusion to astonishment to joy. “Is this what I think it is?” she squealed.

“Head to toe, fully waterproofed, and with reinforced waterproof seams!” Cleo announced. “Now you can come on the trip without worrying about short-circuiting!”

“This is so voltageous!” Frankie exclaimed. “How can I thank you?”

Clawdeen waved her hand in the air like it was no big deal. “No thanks necessary,” she said. “It’s just what ghoulfriends do for each other.”

Cleo turned to Clawdeen. “Like teach them how to sew and swim, all in one day,” she said. “Ghoul, you are totally golden. I mean it.”

A knowing smile crossed Clawdeen’s face. “I have something for you too,” she said. “I made this late last night. Hope you like it!”

Then Clawdeen surprised Cleo with a custom life vest—complete with gold scarab details that perfectly matched Cleo’s outfit.

“You’re a great swimmer for someone who has had only one day of lessons,” Clawdeen continued. “But when you’re going to swim in deep waters, well, you can’t be too careful. What do you think?”

“I think . . .” Cleo began as a huge smile spread across her face, “I think I love it!”

“Ghoulfriend, you are so brave,” Draculaura exclaimed. “One day of swimming lessons and you’re ready to dive into the deep waters of the Great Barrier Reef. That is truly fangtastic!”

Cleo shrugged off the compliment, but everyone could tell she was pleased. “What is there to be afraid of, when my best ghoulfriends have my back?” she asked. “Nothing!”

“Not even giant sharks?” teased Frankie.
