Chapter 1: Falling
After a long day of getting the hotel ready for the monsters for another birthday party for his daughter Mavis, Dracula headed to the steam room to have some relaxation time of his own. He hasn't had much time to relax since Johnny and Mavis set out on their two week adventure. The hotel took his mind off of some of the worries he had while his daughter was traveling. It's not that he didn't trust Mavis and Jonathan, it was just it was her first time out and he would miss both of them.
An hour and a half later, Dracula emerged from the sauna soaked in sweat. It was the most relaxing hour he has had in ages. Drying off on the way back to his room he turned a corner, running into a stranger which knocked him backwards onto the floor. Focusing his eyes on the stranger he suddenly realized that it was Johnny who had fallen on top of him.
"Oh God! Drac I'm so sorry man! I didn't realize you'd be down here! Especially naked.."
Dracula looked at Johnny and realized he hadn't said anything back. He was focusing to much on Jonathan leaning on his body to recognize the words coming out of the human boys mouth. After a moment of quiet awkwardness, Drac finally replied, "It- it's okay my boy. You just took me by surprise is all."
Johnny hauled himself off the Count and wiped his wet hands on his already wet clothes. "So Drac.. what were you doing all alone in that room?" Johnny teased.
"None of your business!" Dracula replied in a quick manor. Realizing he was barely covered, the Count quickly used his vampire powers to put back on his normal black attire. "What are you doing back so early? Aren't you and Mavis supposed to be out exploring the world?"
"We were just in Hawaii when Mavis decided to come back. I think she got a little home-sick. I don't know why, considering she's been here for 118 years. That, and I think she feels bad that you are all alone in this big hotel."
"Alone? Me?" Dracula laughed lightly and replied. "My dear boy, I'm never alone. Sure I do miss Mavis and you but I know that you will be back. Besides, it's nice to have a little alone time every now and then. But since you two are back maybe you can help me with her party. Mr. Party Planner."
Jonathan slapped him playfully on the shoulder and said. "Sure thing gray fangs! I'll go tell her that I'm going to be helping you out for a while."
Dracula watched Johnny take off towards Mavis' room, feeling a weird feeling in his stomach.
While heading towards his Zing's room, Jonathan couldn't help but wonder what this new strange feeling was since his run-in with Drac. He stopped at Mavis' door and shook his head. Maybe it was from all the weird monster food he had been eating. Either way, he couldn't help but wonder.
