All night long, the monsters looked all through Charterville for Ashley. But there was no luck, morning came and the gang retreated back to Hillhurst. They all settled in the parlor with their spirits gone.

"Oh, Ashley... where are you?!" Fangula cried out.

"Rararararaaa!" Wolfie howled as tears poured from his eyes.

Fangula snarled at the werewolf. "You bet it was all you're fault! If you hadn't been howling at the moon, Ashley wouldn't have seen you guys and she would have gained her memory!"

Then Little Ghoul came into the parlor. "Hey! There you are! You've got to see this!" She took the monsters down to the basement and took out a battery powered TV and turned it on, showing a newscaster.

"We interrupt this program to bring you this special bulletin, local police have taken in an amnesiac victim into special custody. Here is a picture of the amnesia victim."

He held up Ashley's mugshot. Under it was a name that said, MARY.

"Anyone who can identify this woman needs to contact police headquarters immediately."

Little Ghoul shut the TV off.

"She's at the police! Oh, thank goodness!" Fangula sighed, oh so relieved his girlfriend was in good care.

"Wait a minute, what if her mummy finds out about this?!" Mums said. "She'll mow us down worse than Flabber will!"

"Actually, I remember Ashley saying her mom is on a business trip, luckily one with no TV." Little Ghoul said.

"I'm going down to claim her!" Fangula said.

At the police station, two police men were chatting about their amnesia victim over some coffee and donuts.

That's when Count Fangula walked in wearing a black trench coat, fedora, and dark sunglasses.

One cop stared at the vampire while he whispered to his college. "Hey, Charlie. Do you see what I see?"

The cop named Charlie shook his head. "Well, if he's hear to rob us, he's sadly mistaken. Keep your taser ready."

Fangula approached the two officers. "Good morning, gentleman. I'm Biff Bloodman. Could you direct me to the lost and found department?"

"What have you lost? Your marbles?" Charlie remarked.

Fangula frowned, but he decided to let that one pass. "I'm here to claim my girlfriend, Ashley Deacon. The amnesia victim."

Charlie nodded. "Steve, go fetch this Ashley."

While Steve was getting Ashley, Fangula talked to the officer. "So, what exactly happened to her?"

"Well, it was late last night when it happened, we heard a loud crash from outside and on our monitors, it looked like your girlfriend fell from the sky or something."

"...I see." Fangula said.

The cop continued. "Now listen, we've given her the alias of Mary. You must remember, amnesia is very delicate. If you just force the memories into her, she's likely to go into a psychological trance. So wait for her to recognize you, okay?"

Fangula nodded. Officer Steve came in with Ashley's arm around the cop's shoulder for support. She had a dumb look on her face, almost as dumb as Frankenbeans.

"Hello, everyone." she said.

Officer Charlie introduced Fangula. "Mary, this is Biff Bloodman."

Ashley bowed her head. "How do you do."

Fangula bowed as well. "How do you... Mary."

"Does he look familiar?" asked the officer.

Ashley stared at Fangula, he had a hopeful look on his face, but Ashley just looked confused. "No, I've never seen this man before in my life."

"Are you sure?" Charlie asked.

Ashley nodded. "I'm sure." She leaned closer to the cop. "I'd remember a cute little cookie like Mr. Bloodman..." she said with a giggle, earning a disturbed look from the cops.

Charlie sighed. "Alright, Steve. Take her away."

The cop did as told and took Ashley away. She turned to Fangula. "It was nice meeting you!"

Charlie was surprised when Fangula got on his knees. "Please, officer! She's my girlfriend and the love of my life! She has to come home where she belongs!" he begged.

The cop stared at the man in black looking very pathetic. "Well, in her condition, you might try to petition the court for legal custody of the victim."

Fangula was stunned. "You mean... adopt her?!"

At the Charterville Courthouse, the judge finished up the adoption of a six year old girl and a happy little couple.

"Bailiff, Next case please." the judge ordered.

"Mary and Biff Bloodman." the bailiff called up.

When the judge looked at the two, she stared at them an awful long time before his bailiff whispered to the judge, "The redhead's recovering from an accident, Sir."

"Ah. Now, Mr. Bloodman, have you given this careful consideration? I've seen many people adopt young adults before, but are you sure about this one?"

"Yes, your honor. I just took one look at her and well, I simply can't live without her."

Ashley smiled as she leaned toward him "Thanks, Dad."

The judge looked around for any hidden cameras, just in case.

"And Mary," the judge coughed. "Are you sure you want to go home with... this man and... be a part of his family?"

Ashley jerked her head up and down. "Mm-hm!"

The judge cleared his throat again. "Well, is the child is willing, then the adoption is granted."
