Prologue
It was just another ordinary day in Hotel Transylvania…well…not really ordinary. The weather outside was getting colder and the entire Hotel was almost as cold as a frozen block of ice. Despite the fact that the hotel has a heating system; the problem was that it was broken. Because of this, most of the guest rooms were left with no heat, which in turn caused most of the guests to be both cold and angry.
Dracula, the owner of the hotel, wasn't faring well this season. Why? He was constantly getting crammed with both complaints about the place being extremely cold and the common everyday expenses. Unlike pretty much everyone else at the hotel, Dracula wasn't cold at all (Considering he usually wears the color black most of the time). Another reason being was that his room basically has its own fireplace. Anyway, he tried his best to address the guests' complaints by having his own monster employees fix the broken heat system. However, none of them were ever trained on how to fix heating systems considering that the hotel opened in 1898 and they didn't have climate control back then. Believe it or not, Dracula only installed a heating system recently because Johnny wanted the hotel to start getting with the times. Speaking of Dracula, he's currently on the phone right now with someone regarding repairs to the defective heater and let me tell you; it isn't going too well for him right now.
"N-No! I don't want to take a customer survey! Just tell me how to fix this ridiculous thing!" He exclaimed into his telephone.
The other end replied with a monotone voice: "I'm sorry, but that option is not available at the moment. Would you like to take a survey about our service?"
Dracula was starting to lose his patience and temper. The phone asked him about a customer survey yet again after just saying he didn't want to take one.
"If this thing asks me about another lousy survey again…"
"You haven't responded to our question. Would you like to take a survey about our service?" The operator asked while interrupting Dracula's sentence.
All bets were off now as this caused Dracula to lose his temper. Not just a short little tantrum; oh-no, it was a full-fledged freak show. He hadn't gotten this angry since he first saw Mavis kiss Johnny and the time that humans back in the old times killed his now late wife. He literally ripped the phone out of the wall like a band-aid and threw it across the room like it was nothing but a sack of potatoes. Despite the phone smashing into pieces upon impact, it was still transmitting the voice of the operator on the other end.
"Y-You haven't r-r-responded to our q-question. W-Would you like to-"
Dracula just basically lost it at that point. He opened the window that was somehow right next to him and then chucked the phone down toward the ground. However, he failed to check where he was throwing it because the phone struck a guest down at the courtyard where the pool was and that particular guest started shouting upward.
"HEY! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE THROWING OBJECTS YA STUPID-"
Dracula slammed the window shut after that, yet he could still hear the uncontrollable shouting coming from below. After things quiet down a bit, Dracula exhaled in relief. Now he has to address three issues instead of two: The broken heating system, the hotel's budget, and now a new phone for his office. Before he could do anything, he heard some soft knocking coming from the door.
*Knock-Knock-Knock*
"Yes, Come in." Dracula called out across the room.
The door opened, revealing who was behind it. It turned out to be only Mavis, Dracula's daughter. When she walked in, Dracula put on his face a smile.
"Mavy! What bring you in here?" Dracula asked.
"Well, two things." Mavis stated. "One, what was that all about a few seconds ago?"
Dracula produced a very nervous grin after his daughter asked him that. How in bats time did she know about that little episode Dracula had a while ago with the phone? He had to somehow get Mavis to change the subject so he came up with a little fib.
"Oh that? I was…uh…working out." Dracula fibbed while smiling.
"You were working out?" Mavis asked her father with a face that wasn't amused at all.
"Y-Yes, I was! I figured it was never too late to get started and I…started by…uh…throwing something." Dracula replied.
"What exactly did you throw dad?" Mavis asked while coming closer to her father.
"Uh…..just a sack of potatoes." Dracula fibbed again.
"If it were just that, why was it talking then and why is it not in here?" Mavis asked.
Dracula knew he was a goner with this 'workout' charade so he decided to come clean.
"Alright, alright, you got me my honey bat." Dracula admitted while dropping his head. "I got into a ridiculous argument over the phone and I threw it out the window in frustration."
Mavis couldn't help but giggle a little bit. It's hard to imagine these days somebody throwing their phones out the window without a legit reason. But over an argument with someone? It's both legit, stupid, and funny.
"Okay then…there was also something I wanted to ask." Mavis said.
Dracula's attention was caught after his daughter said there was something else she wanted to discuss. He lifted his head and looked toward Mavis.
"What is it my sweet fang?" Dracula asked.
"Well…me and Johnny were wondering. Could we go to the nearby village for a little bit?" Mavis asked.
Dracula was a bit stunned by this question. He'd never let his daughter go beyond the Hotel grounds before…well except for that time with the fake village…nevermind. He knew that Mavis would be in good hands with Johnny so of course he couldn't say no.
"Of course you can my little ghoul." Dracula replied.
"Holy rabies! Thanks dad!" Mavis exclaimed while giving Dracula a hug.
"However, I must tell you one thing." Dracula stated while breaking up the hug. "It's really cold outside and I want both you and Johnny to bundle up to stay warm. The last thing I want is to have you, Johnny, or both of you sick. Do you understand?"
After finishing his sentence, Dracula was shocked to find that his daughter had already ran off to tell Johnny about her father's approval to their plans.
"I just hope she knows it's really cold outside. I really don't want my honey bat to get sick." Dracula said to himself.
After that, he exited the room and proceeded toward one of the elevators.
