A few months have passed since Eleanor, Delta, and Emily started living at the hotel. During that time, Emily had developed a crush on Crash. Strangely enough, Crash seemed unware that Emily had feelings for him, despite the numerous hints she displayed, and he considered her his best friend.
Today was a special day, a wedding was being held for two prickly monsters. To everyone's confusion, the bride hadn't come out yet, and there was silence, except for crying. Wayne had several baby werewolf pups strapped to a harness he was wearing and he was trying to calm them down by putting pacifiers in their mouths.
"When's this thing starting?" He asked in frustration. Suddenly, the babies spit out the pacifiers and started crying again.
"Aww, you made them cry Wayne." Frank said. He noticed the only one not crying was a female werewolf pup. "Except this one." He said putting his finger under her chin and he started scratching her chin.
"That's Sunny. She doesn't cry…" Sunny bit Frank's finger and he screamed in pain.
"…She bites." Wayne finished giving Frank his finger as Sunny bit it off. A bit more time passed.
"Oh no Drac, she isn't coming." The male monster said in a dejected tone.
"I'm sure she'll be out any minute now." Drac said trying to reassure him. He then pushed a button on the headset he was wearing.
"Mavis, how's it going back there? Everything under control?" He asked.
"Oh yes! Everything's fine, just a case of pre-wedding anxiety." She answered. The female monster started freaking out causing some of her spikes to fly out. A couple of the spikes flew towards Kelsey and she ran around trying to avoid them. Some of them flew towards Eleanor and she used her telekinesis plasmid to catch them and she threw them at the wall while the other girls were trying to avoid them. One of the spikes knocked Eunice's wig off and she screamed. Mavis did her best to calm the female monster.
"It's okay." She said trying to calm her down.
"It's just, how do I know I'm doing the right thing?" The female monster asked.
"I know how you feel. The day I married Johnny was the best day of my life. I was nervous too." Mavis said.
"Not as nervous as me." Drac said from his side.
"Yeah, not as nervous as my dad." Mavis agreed.
"I wouldn't even get out of my coffin that morning." Drac said.
"That's right. But the most important thing is you zinged and you have to cherish it." She said. Hearing that gave the female monster the confidence she needed.
"You're right!" She said trying to give Mavis a hug. She was trying to avoid that because of her spikes.
"Hey, careful!" She said before the monster managed to hug her. After a little bit the bride went out to meet the groom. Blobby was the minister and he started talking in his gibberish language.
"I do." The groom said in response. Blobby turned his attention to the bride and started talking to her.
"I do." The bride said in response. Mavis and Drac both watched and smiled. Suddenly, there was a loud rumble nearby.
"Did you hear that?" Mavis said.
"Yes I did! I thought we locked him in his room?" Drac said.
"We did!" Mavis said. Right after she said that, a giant monster puppy burst in with Dennis, Winnie, Crash, and Emily riding its back. The puppy stopped moving for a bit.
"Hi Mama, hi Papa!" Dennis said waving at Mavis and Drac.
"Dennis?!" They both said.
"Tinkles was crying so we let him out." Dennis said. Crash and Winnie both nodded at what Dennis said and Emily looked over at her dad. Delta was sitting in a large metal chair, strong enough to hold his weight and for the occasion he had a white tie glued to his armor. Crash's brother and sister were also sitting near Delta, and Jen shook her head, disappointed in her older twin brothers' behavior.
"Hi Daddy!" Emily said waving at him. Delta growled in anger at her and she climbed off Tinkles back.
"Whatever you say Daddy I'm sorry." She said walking over to him. Tinkles then went on a rampage, destroying the chairs and slobbering on some of the guests. He then started running towards Drac.
"Tinkles sit!" He said in a very stern voice. Tinkles stopped almost immediately and Dennis, Winnie, and Crash slid off his back with sad looks on their faces. Drac then clipped a leash to Tinkles collar and led him away while he was whimpering.
"Whose idea was it to let Dennis have a pet?" Drac said in an annoyed voice. Mavis looked at her dad.
"Uhh, yours." She said.
"Aha yes." He said. Dennis then let out a sad sigh.
"Poor Tinkles." He said with Winnie nodding.
"Dennis…" Mavis said in a slightly annoyed tone. Dennis, Winnie, and Crash looked at Mavis.
"Look honey, I know you love Tinkles but we can't bring our dogs…" Crash and Winnie gasped, as they were dogs!
"…I mean our pets everywhere we go." She said. Dennis nodded at his mom.
"Okay." He said still sad that Tinkles had been taken from them. A few days later, Mavis walked into Dennis' room and giggled at what she saw. Johnny, Dennis, and Tinkles were napping together. She walked over to them and tapped Johnny on the arm.
"Oh hey honey. Ready for date night…" He asked in sheepish tone due to still being half asleep.
"It's okay. You get some rest." She said before Johnny fell asleep again. Mavis sat down against Tinkles and turned on the TV. She started watching a commercial for a cruise for a ship called the Legacy. She tried to change the channel but couldn't for some strange reason. She looked at the remote wondering what was wrong and started watching the commercial. After it was over, she smiled. She had just the cure for Drac's depression, noticing her dad had been acting strange lately. She got up and started walking to find her dad. Meanwhile, Drac was in the attic of the hotel and very frustrated. He was using an app called ZINGR, a monster-only dating app that his friends told him about on his phone. He paced back and forth, looking at a series of hideous females and swiped to the left to say he wasn't interested in dating them.
"Ugh, look at that hair… come on. Too many eyes. Too few eyes. Not into tentacles..." He tried to dismiss them, but couldn't figure out how to because of his long fingernail. He accidently selected one of them. "Match found!?"
The app rang. It was connecting the call between him and the mystery monster. A picture of a busty witch appeared on the screen, along with the video chat and the word 'Connecting'
"No, no, no, no, no!" Drac shrieked, trying to dismiss the chat. A witch's face came up on the screen, and she looked even worse than her profile pic and she was surrounded by cats.
She got straight to the point. "First thing's first." She said to Drac before he could even get in his first words.
"Woaahh!" Drac shrieked.
"I'm not into games, you better have a job, and my cats have to like you." She said. The many cats around her started meowing and hissing. Just then, Mavis poked her head in the attic.
"Dad?" She asked.
Drac whirled around and shoved his phone in his pocket. "Ohhh, Mavis! What are you doing here?" He asked.
"I was checking the honeymoon suite and I heard something." She said giving him a suspicious look.
"Oh, I'm sorry my little bedbug. I was just uh, cleaning the attic!" He got out a feather duster and dashed around the attic, dusting everything he could see while singing nervously to himself.
"Who's that?!" the witch asked, her voice muffled because it was in his pocket. Mavis noticed his phone in his pocket and gave him a confused look.
"Are you on the phone?" She asked.
"What? This?" Drac pulled his phone out of his pocket. "I was just trying…to find a maid…to help me clean this mess!"
The voice called out. "A maid?! Who do you think…?"
Drac quickly spoke into his phone. "Thank you, I will check your references and get back to you! Goodbye!" He said pushing a button on his phone to end the call before going back to dusting and humming nervously to himself. Mavis saw through his ruse and went to hold his hand. "Dad." Drac accidently dropped the duster he was holding and looked at Mavis. "Stop trying to hide it from me." She said levitating herself towards Drac's face.
"Me?! Hiding?! What could I possibly hiding?" He asked nervously, afraid Mavis knew what he was up to.
"Yessss, and I know what it is." She said.
"Uhhh, really?" Drac said, even more nervous than before.
"You're stressed out from working too hard." She said.
Drac felt the nervous sweats subside. "Oh, okay yes you got me. It's a big hotel, you know, can't get to everything. But what about you? You're pretty busy yourself."
Mavis nodded in agreement. "I know. It seems like now we're working together more, we're seeing each other less."
"Oh, yeah, you are absolutely right. I'm working too hard, you're working too hard. We should really take a break, starting right now! Night, night!" He said pushing Mavis out the attic door and shutting it behind her.
"That was kinda weird." She said to herself before walking down the stairs.
Drac breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the attic door. The witch, who was on the phone still, spoke up again. "I'm still here!" Drac growled in annoyance.
(A few days later)
High in the air, the Gremlin airplane struggled across the same bit of sky. The junky plane was flying up and down while some parts fell off it. Two gremlin pilots were flying it and in the cabin, the gremlin crew was acting wildly, throwing bags in the aisles and breaking all human flight attendant rules. Unbuckled seatbelts, gremlins acting as the oxygen masks, one gremlin threw a bag out the window, and another gremlin was pushing the snack trolley, while another sat on top of it, throwing snacks in every direction.
One of the flight attendant's asked Murray for his drink request.
"Coffee?"
"Yeah, that would be nice." Murray replied. In response, the flight attendant poured the coffee in his lap.
"AHHHHHHHH!" Murray screamed in pain. Everyone seemed excited for the trip, except for Drac.
"Mavis, you're torturing me, you know I hate surprises!" He whined.
"This is a fun surprise." She replied.
"There is no such thing as fun surprises! Just tell me where we're going. Why are we on a plane? We can fly, you know!" He said.
Vlad was sitting behind them and decided to join in the conversation. "Back in my day, we took trains. Now that's classy." He said.
Drac scoffed at that idea. "Sure Dad, forty hours in a closet-sized room with you and Uncle Bernie and his smelly cigars." Drac looked over at Mavis, she was sitting next to him.
"Mavis, this is such an amazing surprise. I can't wait to spend time with the people I love most, but please tell me, WHERE ARE WE GOING?!" He asked again.
"Nope, I've taken care of everything, so you don't need to worry about a thing. You've been so stressed out lately. It's time for you… to relax." She said. She pushed the button and leaned back on his chair, put headphones in his ears, a neck pillow around his neck, and slipped a mask over his eyes. She then took off his shoes and put on slippers. Drac peeked out from the eye mask as Mavis covered him in a blanket. Forcing him to relax, she took out some lotion and massaged it on his face.
"Isn't that better?" She asked.
"Oh ho ho yes. Sooooo relazed." Drac sat up in the chair with the lotion dripping from his face. In the row next to them, Johnny was sitting with Dennis and Winnie. Behind them, Eleanor was sitting with Crash and Emily and the two friends were talking about random things. Just behind them, Delta was sitting on a large metal chair staring forward when Eleanor began whimpering. Due to the fact she lived in an underwater city for her whole life, she was scared of heights. Delta leaned forward and wrapped one of his arms around Eleanor. She calmed down a little bit.
"Thanks Father." She said smiling at him with Delta groaning in response. Dennis then leaned over to Winnie and whispered "I'm gonna go check on you know who." Then he announced loudly "I'll be right back, I have to uh, go to the bathroom!" He snuck off. Johnny watched Dennis walk off and started talking. Due to nervousness, Winnie shouted "Dennis went to the bathroom!" Johnny looked at her, confused at her sudden outburst. "Ookkay." He said in a voice that showed his confusion. Hearing her, Crash leaned around the corner and put his paw on her shoulder.
"Stop it Winnie, you're gonna make the adults suspicious!" He whispered to her. Winnie nodded at him.
"Sorry." She whispered back to him. In the lower part of the plane, Dennis snuck into the cargo hold, where he stowed Tinkles.
"Psst, hey, where are you?" He called in the darkness.
Tinkles whimpered, and his huge eyes peaked out from a pile of suitcases. Dennis climbed up the suitcases and pet Tinkles to calm him down.
"There you are Tinkles, don't worry, we'd never leave you at home." He told his pet.
The captain's voice then came over the intercom. "Okay folks, you are now free to roam the cabin as we've begun our descent." Outside of the plane, another gremlin smacked the engine with a hammer, causing the plane to instantly nose-dive at an incredibly fast speed.
Dennis rushed back to his seat and gave Winnie a thumbs up, letting her know Tinkles was okay. He then stood up and gave Crash a thumbs up, telling him the same thing. Crash looked at Emily and whispered to her "He's okay." hoping Eleanor wouldn't hear him. Unfortunately, she did.
"What did you say?" She asked. Crash shot a nervous look at Eleanor.
"Nothing!" He said trying to hide what he said.
"I just heard you say something to her Crash!" She said in an annoyed tone. Emily looked at her older sister.
"It's nothing sis, really." She replied and this caused Eleanor to groan in annoyance.
"Kids today." She said to herself. The plane continued to nose dive at an incredible speed and another gremlin walked down the aisle with another snack trolley.
"Snacks, snacks anyone?" Nobody took the offer and the plane kept falling, losing more parts until it crashed into the ocean with a big splash. When the plane came back up, the gremlin pilot announced "Ladies and gentlemen, we've arrived at our destination, the Bermuda Triangle."
"Oooo." All the monsters watched as a giant triangle hole filled with a tower of shipwrecks appeared. The one monster who was most surprised was Crash, as he was easily fascinated with his surroundings.
"Wow!" He said as he watched all of this. While he wasn't looking, Emily moved her hand and placed it on top of his paw. He looked at her in annoyance and pulled his paw free while she giggled.
The plane which was now a skeleton, floated into the triangle and plunged down the side of a waterfall. It splashed as it came near a sand bank where a bunch of aircraft wreckage was stuck. The monsters filed out of the plane and walked to the wreckage.
