Here you go. Chapter four of my story. Hope you enjoy.
Mavis awoke as someone shook her shoulder gently. " C'mon Mav. we need to get to the airport before the sun rises, the planes gunna fly all day so that it'll be night when we get there." Mavis rubbed her eyes as she groaned and sat up on the bed. She wrapped her arms around Johnny, who was sitting on the bed next to her, and rested her heavy head on him for support. "Thanks Johnny, I didn't plan to fall asleep. I'm just so tired, I didn't sleep yesterday. I was just so exited about today."
Johnny put his arm around Mavis' shoulder and helped her to her feet. "I know how you feel, I've done that before. Now hurry up babe, we gotta leave soon. Go get ready for the plane ride, you can sleep on the way there."
Johnny walked out of Mavis' room and into the hallway as Mavis stumbled into the bathroom and splashed cool water onto her face. forgetting that she had put mascara on, she quickly cleaned the black streaks from her pale skin. She pushed a lock of black hair behind her ear before turning and heading into the bedroom to put on more comfortable clothes for the plane ride.

Johnny walked down the hall towards his own room as his excitement began to swell inside him. This was the first time that he would have someone traveling with him, this time he would have Mavis with him, and that made him more excited than ever. As Johnny turned into the hallway where his room was he saw Dracula standing at the door to his room, knocking on the door and speaking into the room. "Johnny? Are you in there? I just wanted to make sure that you are almost ready to leave." Johnny stood in amusement as Drac talked to the empty room and the shrunken head on his door giggled to itself.
"I'm over here Drac." Turning, Dracula looked at Johnny. " Oh..." Johnny saw embarrassment on Dracula's face for a moment. "So are you ready Johnny?" Reaching the room, Johnny unlocked it and stepped inside. "I am, and Mavis is nearly ready, I just talked to her." Johnny grabbed his backpack and stepped back into the hall. " i'm going to head down to the lobby. You may want to go help Mavis finish up." Dracula turned and headed away as Johnny stepped into the elevator.

Five minutes later Johnny was sitting in the lobby waiting for Mavis to come down. As soon as he saw her, he noticed that she had convinced Dracula to carry her bag. He also saw that she was no longer wearing her usual long black sweater and stockings, that she was instead wearing a t-shirt bearing a fanged smile and the words "Caution: I bite." as wrll as a pair of comfy looking grey pants.
When Mavis reached Johnny she was nearly shaking with excitement. She looked Johnny in the eyes as her dad sat her bag down next to her. " Ready! " Johnny looked at Dracula and Mavis as he picked up his backpack. " Let's get going then! Onward to adventure!" Johnny turned quickly on his heels as he headed toward the front door, with Mavis and Dracula following close behind.
When Johnny reached the revolving front door he made sure to make a complete revolution in it before heading out into the front steps where Dracula waited beside Mavis for the hearse that would be taking them to the airport. the car pulled up and While the pumpkin headed driver dropped their backpacks into the trunk, Johnny and Mavis stood side by side next to the hearse as they talked to Dracula. " we'll be fine dad, me and Johnny can handle this. We were both mature adults." Mavis paused and looked at Johnny. " Well... we're adults." Dracula took a deep breath as he prepared to speak, but Johnny beat him to it and and began talking. "Yeah Drac, we'll be fine. I've done this a few times now, we can handle it." Johnny folded his arms and leaned back onto the hearse confidently.
Dracula gave Johnny an unimpressed look and then looked back at Mavis. "Just promise that you won't do anything crazy like getting into a gunfight or a car chase." Mavis raised an eyebrow at her father as she thought back to that action movie that Johnny had showed them. " I promise we will be careful, besides that stuff only happens in movies anyway."
Mavis smiled and hugged her father tightly before she climbed into the car and slid across the seat. Johnny smiled and slid in as well before he closed the door and rolled down the window. Dracula looked in the window as the feelings he had been suppressing finally caught up to him. " I am going to miss you babyclaws, don't forget to call me often." Mavis saw the sadness on her fathers face and looked into his eyes. " I'll miss you to, and I won't forget. I love you daddy."
With that the group said there final words and the driver pulled away. Dracula stood and watched until he could no longer see the lights of the hearse. When he finally lost sight of them he slowly turned and walked into the hotel that he had built to protect his beautiful daughter all those many years ago.
