What happened?
Sorry, Dad.
I just... I had a bad dream.
About Stanley leaving me behind with monsters.
I know, it's crazy, but
I can't shake the feeling that something's up.
And Missy's acting weird, too!
They keep hanging out with other people
and I don't know why.
They're supposed to be my best friends, but lately?
We barely talk.
[tense music playing]
It wasn't just a bad dream.
It was your instincts tryin' to tell you somethin'.
I know you're at the age where your friends are everything,
but the truth is people aren't what they seem,
and neither is this world.
Dad... did something happen?
I know I don't talk about your mother much,
but Cassie and I learned about betrayal the hard way.
From so-called "friends."
I-I had no idea.
That's why family is all that matters, son.
See, everybody else will do and say
anything to get what they want.
But blood looks out for you because it's part of you.
You understand?
- Yeah. - Now, you go and get some rest.
Tomorrow's your first day back since your injury.
We're Fursts, hm? We don't come in second.
Yes, sir.

It was. Only it was real.
Okay. You know when you see people
and you think they're people?
Well, sometimes, those people aren't really people.
NELSON: So it's true?
There are, like, vampires
and rougarous and monsters and stuff?
I knew I saw something that night!
You got all that from what Stanley just said?
Yeah, best friends since grade school.
I speak Stanley.
What I don't get is what it has to do with you guys.

Something dangerous.
He might even be the reason we all got attacked.
What she's trying to say is, we think hesent the grunches.
Oh, uh, grunches are the monsters
that attacked the Bleeding Hearts Club.
What?! My dad wouldn't let anything attack me!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, not on purpose!
