[Bell ringing]
Class, today I gift you my
wisdom on prankster-ing.
So, pay attention!
Every prank requires the
following: one, a prankster.
[Air horn blowing]
[Screaming]
And two, an unsuspecting
prank-ee.
What?
Okay, who's the wisenheimer?
I'm looking at you, Mr. Buns.
Huh?
"Attention, Professor Boo Boo.
The principals, Mr. White and
Mr. White, wish to see you in
their office pronto.
Capisce?"
Uh-oh!
"Capisce!"
I'm sorry, Mr. Buns.
We'll have to pick this up
later.

SKULL BOY: Wow, so many
stars.
And each one like a snowflake,
special and unique.
Mr. Buns, I can watch the night
sky for days!
[Gasping]
What's that?
I've never seen that before.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh-- oh!
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh!
Mamma mia!
I must be related to the great
astronomer, Galileo, for I have
made a magnifico discovery!
Yay!
Ring the bell, Mr. Buns!
Ring the bell!
Okay, I ring the bell!
Whoa!
[Bell ringing]
Skull Boy!
[Shouting]
Huh?
What's going on?
I discover--
Tomorrow night--
Coming through!
Like I said, tomorrow night
will appear a blue moon!
You know how often a blue moon
appears?
Nice facial hair.
Once in a blue moon!
Great discovery, Skull Boy.
A blue moon?
That means the appearance of the
most fearsome creature to ever
walk, slither or crawl on the
face of the planet!
The Luna monster.
[Gasping]
Tomorrow night is Luna Night.
I heard the Luna has enormous
blue eyes in the back of its
head that can see into your
soul!
[Gasping]
ALL: Cool!
I heard that the Luna has
claws so sharp they can slice a
human hair!
[Gasping]
ALL: Cool!
RUBY: And I heard the Luna
has huge, hideous webbed toes
that can squish 16 people in one
single step!
[Gasping]
ALL: Cool!
Ooh!
Hey, I've got a great idea,
everyone.
We can stay up all night and
catch a glimpse of the Luna!
[Gasping]
Are you sure we need to stay
out all night?
Oh, come on.
It'll be so much fun.
We'll camp out!
Outside?
But the Luna will eat us
alive!
We'll roast marshmallows.
We're in!
Okay!
I'll bake some cookies.
Oh, uh-huh.
No need to go to that trouble,
Misery.
Luna Monsters probably don't
like cookies.
Yeah, um, I think I read that
somewhere.
I'm not making them for the
monster.
I'm making them for all of you--
to soften the blow when the
monster doesn't come.
Since it doesn't exist.
[Ruby chuckling]
You never know, Misery.
Your cookies may be a Luna
Monster favourite.
I'll bring my new camera!
Take a Luna picture!
Then it's settled.
We'll meet back here tomorrow
evening.
BOTH: Yeah!
Woo-hoo!
Camp out!
Ruby, I really admire your
courage.
Thanks, Skull Boy.
But being scared, it's all up
here.
Especially when it comes to
monsters.
Oh!
Monsters?
It's okay, Scaredy.
Nothing to worry about.
SCAREDY: Honestly, must we
really camp out in order to view
the Luna?
Could we not watch from a
window?
Preferably one surrounded by a
moat?
[Thudding]
[Screaming]
M-m-maybe it's the Luna!
Somebody should go out and
check.
SCAREDY: No, no, no!
No!
[Grunting]
[Crashing]
Scaredy, I'll tell you what--
we'll come out with you.
Oh, thank you!
Thank you!
[Kissing]
[Owl hooting]
[Screaming]
Hey, guys!
Whatcha doing?
Oh, darn it all.
You nearly scared us to death,
you know.
Oh, I see!
Ha!
You thought I was the Luna!
Well, let me tell you-- I heard
something else about the Luna.
BOTH: What?
That the Luna speaks in
tongues-- literally.
Whenever it talks, the tongues
of the people its eaten fly out
of its mouth!
[Gasping]
BOTH: Cool!
No, oh no!
Not cool, not cool!
[Crashing]
Whoa.
IRIS: Are you alright?
I'm fine, thanks.
Nothing to worry about.
I was just whipping up a batch
of cookies for the campout.
But the smoke!
All part of it.
It's an old family recipe.
I've adjusted it to reduce the
damage to the dwelling.
What do you call them?
Smoking Good Nibblers.
Huh.
Good handle.
I hear the Luna likes to
nibble.
Before jumping!
[Laughing]
[Shivering]
It is a-ready, Ruby!
I just wanna see if it works.
Okay.
Now I'm gonna pose just like I
will tonight beside the Luna
Monster.
You gonna pose beside the
monster?
Gee, Ruby, that's really
dangerous.
Danger is my middle name.
Love that cookie jar, Misery!
Can't wait to hear your monster
tunes, Frank and Len.
Scaredy, you look irresistible.
Oh!
I certainly hope not.
People, the night of the blue
moon is upon us!
And in a matter of hours, we
will come face to face with
history!
Once we leave this door, there
is no turning back.
Oh!
[Wolf howling in distance]
[Owl hooting]
[Birds cawing]
Gee.
The backyard sure looks a lot
different at night.
You're not kidding.
Let's camp here beside this
tree.
Whatever you say, oh fearless
leader.
Yeah, that's me.
Fearless leader.
Oh, yeah.
Fearless.

So, what do we do now, Ruby?
Do?
Uh, we can tell stories.
I've got one!
Great, Skull Boy.
What's it about?
The dreaded Luna story.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Let's hear it, come on!
[Gasping]
I was thinking more happily
ever after kind of.
I heard the Luna can change
into any shape.
The last time it appeared, it
took on the shape of a street
and gobbled up all of the
residents during a street
festival!
[People screaming]
[Snarling]
[All gasping]
It could be here without us
even knowing.
That tree.
Or that rock!
It could even be one of us.

Ooh, my, my, my!
Marshmallows.
[All laughing]
Yeah.
What a load of marshmallows.
No!
I knew I forgot something at the
house.
Marshmallows!
I'll be right back.
See anything, Skull Boy?
Nothing yet.
[Gasping]
I told you there's no such
thing as the Luna Monster!
Or any monster, for that matter.
Maybe we just need to lure it
out of its lair.
Anybody have any suggestions?
I know!
Cirque de Luna!
Luna!
Luna?
[Birds cawing]
Uh--
Luna?
[Owl hooting]
Uh--
I guess I'll do a second show
later.
Told ya.
Doesn't exist.
[Sizzling]
Ugh!
Do you really think we should
be doing this?
Of course we want to see the
monster, but we don't want to
anger it, do we?
Ruby may have a point.
Possibly.
Let us consider it for a moment.

Hmm.

I respectfully disagree.
The Luna is real.
100 percent!
Back me up here, Ruby.
Ruby?
Uh, yeah, of course he is--
does exist.
Enough!
We're gonna tell you the real
story.
[Clicking]
As told to us by a guy who
came face to face with the Luna.
Or face to face with a guy's
mailman who came face to face
with the Luna!
Yeah.
Something like that.
Right.
One thing the Luna prized the
most in the entire world was a
big, shiny gem-- a ruby, which
brought the Luna great good
fortune and the occasional
breakfast in bed.
One blue moon that ruby went
missing, causing the monster's
world to fall apart!
Luna searched high and low, tore
up towns and villages in search
of the gem but couldn't find it.
And since then, the Luna
returns every blue moon in
search of his one great
treasure-- his ruby.
Huh.
Hey, the Luna's looking for a
ruby, Ruby!
Huh.
The ground is really hard, isn't
it?
I'll go get some pillows.

Those aren't the words.
Hey, where are you, Ruby?
You left for the pillows a long
time ago!
RUBY: Sorry!
♪
Wha!
Thanks, but are you okay?
RUBY: Sure.
Everything's fine.
I can see just as well from the
house.
That's what I said when the
lions escaped from the zoo.
Maybe Ruby isn't feeling
well.
Or maybe she's just afraid.
No, that can't be.
Not Ruby!
She did leave after each
scary story.
Hmm.
And she did hide behind Skull
Boy after we thought the Luna
was approaching.
[All gasping]
Yup.
Ruby's afraid.
But Ruby is never afraid!
So if Ruby is afraid, there must
be good reason to be afraid!
[Gasping]
Let's go inside and try and
convince her to come back out.
Great idea.
Let's go, guys!
[Shivering]
[Door opening]
Ruby?
You okay?
'Cause if there's anything
wrong, you can tell us.
I'm afraid.
We can relate!
Oh, yes.
I am never not afraid.
I'm not sure I can go back
out.
Neither are we.
Right, guys?
ALL: Yeah, sure!
Really?
We're all in the same boat!
[Clearing throat]
And each of us has a paddle.
And if we row together--
We won't sink.
Exactly!
I'm in that boat and my
paddle's in the water.
That's it!
Yeah!
Right on!
Your paddles are in the water
too, right?
Oh, sure!
Right, sorry.

We're going boating now?

But still no Luna.
There's a big surprise.
Perhaps the next blue moon?
Hmm?
Perhaps never.
