Note:
Let us walk onto the patio of a certain hotel room in Las Vegas. What we see are two young adults talking. If we are good and sneak up quietly we might be able to hear what they are talking about.
"Joey." The young man spoke,
sounding distant and deep in thought. The girl next to him leaning on
the railing stopped looking at the neon lights that surrounded them,
tucked a loose bit of hair behind her ear and looked into the eyes of
her boyfriend.
"What is it Tom?" She spoke, incredibly soft
for the type of person she was. He slowly looked over into her eyes
too. There was silence as they searched each other's eyes, both
seeming sad and distant. He looked back into the distance.
"I
don't want to leave Earth, I don't want to rule another planet or
country, not alone… not with Frank either." Joey's posture
straightened a little as she tried to catch Tom's eye again.
"Why?" She whispered. "You could do it. Imagine how great it
would be?"
"No, Joey." Tom said, Joey furrowed her brow and
stopped leaning on the railing all together. "You could do it. You
enjoy control," The neon lights seemed to interest Joey again as
she chose to look over at the farthest corner's lights, away from
Tom. "I just want to live my life, be happy and… theres another
reason too."
"And what would that be Tom?" The whisper
came.
"Because you're not Transylvanian, they won't take
you." A pause. "I promised you I would follow you and I mean
that. I love you Joey and not fake love either, I truly love
you." Another pause before a small smile started to play on the
edge of those vibrantly red lips of Joey's.
"Oh, Tommy boy."
She whispered and walked towards him, embracing him. "I really love
you too and that means the world to me, that you would stay on this
crummy planet for a little earthling like me." Tom laughed a little
as Joey's comment broke the moment.
"You're no ordinary
earthling." He said smiling.
"Oh?" She said, looking up to
him, matching his grin. "Because I'm so beautiful and
intellectual?"
"Yes," Tom said, "That and you're
raving mad and evil." Joey scoffed then laughed.
"Evil?"
She said in disbelief.
"Yes!"
"How?"
"You put a
mouse trap in the cutlery draw so my dad, er, I mean Brad, got it
snapped on his finger when getting out a knife. You bought fishing
wire with my money and set it up in living area where Chris and Steph
fell over… twice! And you found both of these things absolutely
hilarious!" Joey laughed for a good minute while Tom stared at her,
for more then one reason. One, she was a weird girl, two, her shirt
was rather revealing.
"I need to entertain myself somehow! It's
been a boring week and a half!" Tom rolled his eyes and nodded.
"I guess it has, the mouse trap thing was pretty funny." He said.
Joey pretended to be bashful at Tom's compliment as she looked away
and rubbed her shoulder but she was no actress with that grin on her
face and when she laughed a little.
"Oh Joey," Tom sighed,
running a hand through his curly black hair.
"What?"
"Never take up acting."
"Why?"
"You're too
cocky." Another scoff from the girl.
SLAM! Panting was heard from inside. Worried glances were shared between the two teenagers. They both headed inside quickly.
Once inside it was clear to
who made the noise, though they both already knew who it was going to
be. Frank had is back against the hotel room door that he appeared to
be trying to grasp as he panted.
"Frank?" Joey said
concernedly. The others slowly came out of their rooms wearing their
pyjamas, yawning or rubbing their eyes. The noise Frank made coming
in must have woken them up.
"What's wrong?" Tom added
quietly, sounding just as concerned as Joey was feeling.
"I…
I…" He stuttered in fear, "I saw Rufus, Kimi, Stephen and…
and… Sadie." Frank panted.
"Who are they?" Chris said,
"One night stands you never wanted to see again?" He said rolling
his eyes. Joey and Tom both sent death looks in Chris' direction
though Joey's was much more fierce than Tom's.
"No."
Frank said, sounding offended. "Transylvanians! Armed
Transylvanians!" Janet and Steph gasped in unison as everyone
else's eyes widened. Four Transylvanians! Four were around
the hotel and nearest casino and who knows how many more there were
in Vegas it's self. Things couldn't get any worse.
"What?!"
Joey yelled in frustration.
"Oh Brad, what are we going to do?"
Janet cried, grasping onto Brad's arm. Two were easy enough to
handle but four? Come on!
"Man, we're doomed!" Chris
sighed, accepting his fate.
"No! Tom's our singer! We'll
suck with out him… And I don't want to die!" Steph cried.
Tommas muttered various curses under his breath as Frank remained
silent but looked scared in the corner. Joey watched everyone's
reactions with bemusement before speaking up.
"QUIET!" She
yelled, sounding quite menacing. Everyone stopped straight away and
looked at her with fear, everyone except for Tom that is. Joey gave
herself a second to calm down. "I have everything planned out,
remember?" She spoke a question but got no answer. "Anyway…"
She said, looking around the room. "I say we skip good old New
York, New York and head straight for another country. If they're
all here then we don't have time to pack anything, we'll buy
everything when we get to… England sound fine with everyone?"
"England sounds great, just one problem…" The small voice of
Steph came. "How are we going to get out of the room with the
trannies around." Joey frowned and looked at the ground. Everyone
else did the same thing.
"The balcony." Tom spoke, looking
up. "We can make a ladder thing using the bedding and climb down
it. We've got enough sheets and pillow cases and stuff." Everyone
mimed an "oh" and Joey grew a big grin.
"Tom that's
excellent!" She shrieked in happiness. "Oh, I could just kiss
you!… in fact…" Joey ran straight up to Tom and kissed him. Tom
grinned stupidly at her.
Kimi and
Stephan took their ears off the hotel room door and walked down the
hall.
"Pass me the communicator." Kimi whispered, holding out
a hand to Stephan. He pulled what looked like a high-tech
walkie-talkie out of his jacket pocket and handed it to the young
lady Transylvanian. She pressed a button and held it to her mouth.
"Vegas to Denton, Vegas to Denton. You there, Denton?" She
spoke.
"This is Denton, vhat do you have Vegas?" A woman's
voice came.
"They're heading to England." A pause then
murmuring was heard on the other side of the line followed by
rustling and another pause. The next thing heard was a man's
voice.
"We're on it." He spoke slowly. Then communication
ended. Kimi and Stephan exchanged sinister grins as the walked over
to the elevator. There was no way Frank and the boy could get away
now, even if it meant disposing of the others.
