I felt like trying to do a little rewrite and change the ending of Hotel Transylvania to give a little more backstory to Johnathan's character. All events up until the end of the meeting of Dracula and Mavis after the birthday party, on the roof are unchanged.

Chapter 1

Stemming the tide

Dracula, fresh off the meeting with his daughter on the roof after Johnathan crushed her heart, has returned to the lobby of the hotel. All the monsters are upset that he has lied to them, and admitted a human into the hotel. "My friends, please stop." Dracula said.

"You lied to us. We could have been killed by that human." Wayne replied.

"But Johnny is one of the good ones. He didn't attempt to harm anyone here. Frank, buddy, you have to trust me on this one." No one was coming to Dracula's defense.

"You told us humans were bad. Is that still true?" Eunice said.

"The truth is I don't know anymore." Dracula replied. "But now I've really screwed up."

"How could you have possibly screwed up any more than you already have?" Said Eunice.

Dracula answered, "I think Mavis and Johnny zinged." A collective gasp went up in the air. "And I got in the way. I have to try and fix this, or I will lose everything I ever cared about. Please my friends, I'm begging you. Just give me an hour to try and fix this." Everyone acquiesced and went to the restaurant to give Drac time to try and fix it.

Dracula turned to one of his security guards and asked if they knew where Johnny was.

"Still in his room, sir."

"Perfect, don't let him leave until I can talk to him." Dracula left the lobby and headed for Johnny's room as quickly as he could, and knocked loudly on his door. "Johnny, I need to talk to you. Please, if not for my sake, then for Mavis's."

At hearing this Johnny, still fighting back tears decided to give Dracula one last chance. "The door is open. Please come in."

Dracula entered the room and saw that Johnny had been weeping for a while, and had several tissues in the wastebasket. "Johnny, I screwed up big time. I didn't have the courage that my daughter had, and now I am risking losing her as well."

"You just came here to yell at me some more, didn't you? Well I am not in the mood for a lecture."

"No, Johnny. You don't understand. Did you feel something special when you first met Mavis?"

"Yes. I thought that she might be the one I'd been looking for all my life. But, I gave her up, for your sake."

"Johnny, you can't worry about what I think. The two of you zinged. That means that the two of you are meant for each other."

Dracula handed Johnny the book that Martha had given Mavis for her birthday. He began to read it, and at the end let out a gasp. "I understand now!" Johnny screamed. "We need to get to Mavis's room now before it is too late."
