CHAPTER 7

Spectral Science

High above Monster High, the comet glowed and pulsed. Ghoulia was studying it from her iCoffin while she ate lunch in the Creepateria. Satellites were hovering around it. Suddenly, one of the satellites collided with the comet, and the bright orb spun and spiraled in a completely different direction.

Ghoulia groaned, putting down her drink. She picked up her laptop and raced out of the room. She dashed toward the elevator, pushed the button to head down to the catacombs, and quickly reapplied her lipstick.

The elevator door slid open to the laboratory. Ghoulia had an entire system of computers rigged up at a worktable. She put her laptop down near them and clicked on the power button. The large screen on the computer glowed. The image of the comet appeared.

Ghoulia gasped. It was just as bad as she thought. It was headed right toward Earth!

Abbey Bominable, the confident yeti daughter of the Abominable Snowman, peeked into the lab. “Hello, Ghoulia. What is happening on computer?”

Ghoulia was typing furiously on her laptop. Abbey studied the screen. The comet was zooming closer and closer to Earth.

“Oh!” she exclaimed. “So comet knocked out of orbit is now heading toward Earth. Hmm, is that bad?”

Ghoulia nodded her head, trying to control her panic. She threw up her hands as if a giant bomb was exploding.

“Blow up the world?” Abbey’s pale face was paler than ever. “But you can fix it, right?”

Ghoulia gulped and looked at the screen. That was the question. Could she stop the comet before it was too late?
