The Legacy sailed through the ocean all nigh until it reached a classic-looking little island with several palm trees.
Stan made the announcement for their evening activity, "Hey, everybody! We are at out next stop, the Deserted Island." As he spoke, the ship docked next to a resort island.
Down on the lower deck, human and monster passengers lined up to go on shore. Dracula walked awkwardly behind the astonished Elisa, Mavis, Melany, Dennis and Johnny, who was carrying a mountain of beach toys, towels, chairs, sunscreen, and more. This seemed to make Elisa, who was carrying Adrian, worried that her son-in-law was carrying too much supplies, but it didn't seem to bother him.
"Woo-hoo! Beach time!" Johnny cheered happily.
"Johnny, you go set everything up," Mavis instructed, and then turn to her parents. "Mom, Dad, you go get in line for the snow cones."
"Sure, honey." Elisa nodded.
"I want a blueberry snow cone!" Melany requested.
"You know, actually, I was thinking you and Johnny should spend some time together," Dracula told his eldest daughter. "What do you call it? Date night?"
Johnny dropped the huge pile of beach stuff ecstatically. "Date night?" It sounded great to him.
"What are you going to do?" Mavis asked.
"Well, I thought me and the guys would take this opportunity to spend some one-on-one quality time with Dennis, Melany and Adrian." Dracula picked up the three baffled children and planted kisses on their cheeks.
"And we'll be able to spend some romantic quality time together when we leave the kids in your friends' care." Elisa slid an arm around Dracula's waist to snuzzle her face in his neck, feeling romance in the air tonight.
However, Dracula was in the mood for romance... but not for his wife. "Oh, umm... I was actually thinking maybe you could have some time to yourself and relax, Blood jewel, and I can have one-on-one time with the kids!" He immediately pulled himself out of his wife's embrace.
"Oh, uh... okay. If that's what you want," Elisa slightly agreed, but feeling disappointed that she couldn't get to spend time with her husband or with her family.
"Oh, okay. That's a great idea! Come on, Johnny!" Mavis smiled.
"Johnny pumped a fist in the air, cheering, "Date night!"
A short time later, the cruise ship monsters and humans were enjoying the beach in their own style.
Blobby, Wendy and her new baby brother set up their space under the peaceful bright rays of the moonlight. They cut pieces of themselves and made blob umbrellas before settling down.
Mike and Linda were lounging on beach chairs, side by side, as Linda sighed, "This is nice." Andrei and Monica were star gazing together. Dennis' cousins and Melany's cousins were playing volleyball on the beach. Polly and her husband helped their kids make a sandcastle, especially for baby Adrian.
Pedro was showing off his own sand castle making tricks, creating a miniature sandstorm to transform into a castle. Unfortunately, Lydia was laying in her own private to moon bathe until a wave of sand engulfed her body. The top of the sand mountain exploded like a volcano when an enraged Lydia emerged. Pedro ran out of there like his life depended on it. Scoffing, Lydia left for the Legacy to change her swimwear.
Wayne and Wanda played fetch the stick like actual dogs. They took turns to throw the stick in the water, dog paddle through the water to reach the stick, dog paddle their way back to shore, and drop the stick in their partner's outstretched paw. But their game was interrupted by a roar of cries and barks as they pricked their ears up.
"What was that?" Wayne asked.
"It sounds like our children!" Wanda gasped.
"It is our children!" Wayne yelled in alarm.
"RUN!" Wanda ordered.
At that time, the fish man from the Kids Club was screaming, "For the love of COD! Someone get the parents!" He was caught in a stampede of misbehaving wolf pups.
Meanwhile, Frank and Eunice were enjoying the warmth of the night, but needed to reapply the sunscreen, or rather moonscreen.
"Frank, rub some moonscreen on my back before I get burned," Eunice told her husband.
"One second, honey. The kids buried me in the sand." Frank's body had been taken apart by Dennis, Winnie, Evan and Melany. They had buried pieces of him all over the place.
"I gotcha, Dad!" Hank managed to rescue one of his arms, allowing his dad's arm to hop over toward Eunice and started rubbing the lotion on her back.
As Eunice sighed in content, Frank shouted, "Thanks, Hankie!"
Meanwhile in a restaurant with a deserted-island theme, Elisa was sitting at the tiki bar by herself, feeling lonely. Her daughter and son-in-law were on a date. Dracula and the guys were spending quality time with the kids. No one else offered her to join them in whatever activities they were engaged in. "I need you, Drac," she whispered, longing for her beloved husband's company.
She was fiddling with a strand of her brown hair when suddenly she noticed something that made her face turn pale; a strand of grey hair. Then Elisa plucked the grey hair from her head and stared at it. Her worst fears were coming true, she was getting older. This made her feel more determined to become a vampire, if only Dracula and his family weren't a bunch of jerks to refuse the company she wanted.
At that moment, a pair of two feet approached her as he made his way through the bar, and she felt a gentle tap on her shoulder. She turned around to see who it was, and to her surprise it was Daniel, wearing a red Hawaiian shirt with a pattern of parakeets on leaves, white shorts and shoes.
"Evening, Mrs. Dracula," Daniel greeted.
"Oh, hi Daniel!" Elisa greeted him back, studying his new attire. "Nice getup."
"Thank you." Daniel felt slightly flattered at her compliment. "You're not to shabby yourself," he complimented her back at her attire.
"Thank you," she replied. "It used to belong to Martha, but Mavis and Drac let me have it."
"Now, what is a troubled woman like yourself doing at a bar by her lonesome? May I join you if you don't mind?"
"I don't see why not!" Elisa agreed, allowing Daniel to hangout with her, longing for companionship.
A fish waiter placed two coconut drinks out for them, followed by a plate of roasted salamanders on a stick. Elisa picked up the stick and took a bite of her roasted salamander by the waist. Seeing her do this grossed out Daniel a lot, coming close to a barf.
"You, uh, actually eat monster food?" he stuttered.
"Yeah, I mean when you live with monsters as long as I have, you find it's not as bad as it looks," Elisa told him. "It tastes just like chicken. Don't tell Lydia I said that, you know how Diane gets."
Then she took another big bite out of the roasted salamander, which kind of forced Daniel to turn around and barf in a bag. But he had to remain focused. All he needed to do was kill Dracula's precious wife, and then do the same for the other humans and monsters.
"Hey, look! A pod of whales is passing by in the ocean!" Daniel exclaimed, pointing out to sea.
"Oh, really?" Elisa turned away to catch a glimpse of the whales.
Daniel whipped out a vial of scorpion poison and dunk its contents in her coconut beverage.
"I don't see any whales." Elisa started to turn back around.
When Daniel was done with the poison, he immediately put the vial back in his pocket. "Oops, I think it was just one of the monsters water-skiing."
Shrugging her shoulders, Elisa picked up her coconut beverage and Daniel grabbed his own, proposing a toast in order to make it her last. "How about a toast... to the most beautiful woman in the world - you!"
"Aw, how sweet." Elisa blushed, touched by this kind man's words.
The two of them clicked their drinks together. Elisa prepared to take a sip from her coconut, unaware of the lethal poison in its milky white contents. Daniel put his own coconut beverage to his lips, watching her intently and smiled sinisterly when this naïve woman was about to unknowingly end her life.
Suddenly the wave of crazy wolf pups rushed through the restaurant. Elisa and Daniel hung on to the bar table so not get swept away or attacked in the process, but Elisa dropped her coconut beverage in the process, and the contents spilled over in the sand.
When he saw what had happened, Daniel looked away so Elisa doesn't see his frustration over his failure, muttering, "Blast!"
"I'm sorry about the wolf pups," Elisa apologized sheepishly, seeing his frown and thought he was angry about the wolf pups.
"It looks like their parents don't do anything to control them! They don't seem to care about their offspring," Daniel grumbled, watching Wayne and Wanda trying to hide from their children.
"But they do care!"
"Not all parents do."
Thinking it over, Elisa sighed in defeat. "You're right on one thing. My father never cared when I married Drac. Look, I used to have one big happy family before my mom died."
Upon hearing this, Daniel's face softened and he immediately began to feel sorry for her. "When did you lose your mother?"
"When I was a little girl." Elisa explained to him starting to feel a little sad, but then she perked up and continued with her story. "Then my dad got remarried to my school teacher, I wasn't happy about it. After graduation, I worked and lived at the Bats in the Belfry. Then I met Drac and we got married. But I actually first met Dracula when I was a little girl."
This piece of news surprised Daniel. "How did you meet him?"
"As a kid, during a camping trip, I got lost in the woods while searching for firewood. What didn't help was that I stumbled upon a graveyard. I was about to run out of there, I ran into something. I thought it was just a bat at first, but when I was able to get my vision back, I saw large shadow of a man towering in front of me with glowing red eyes. He scared me so I ran off, but I didn't look at where I was running so I ran off a cliff!"
"Really?" Daniel gasps, getting really into the story.
"But when I thought it was all over, Dracula swooped in and saved me!" Elisa finished her backstory.
Her story touched Daniel deeply. Then he admitted, "I didn't have a happy childhood either."
"Oh, I'm so sorry," Elisa looked up at him sympathetically.
While he had been listening to her story with deep interest, Daniel confessed with a tone of regret, "I never knew much of my family. My siblings and I were quarreling over our grandfather's attention, I was the outsider and I was sent to live with my uncle and grandfather. When I was growing up, I wanted to do more with my life and explore the world. I had a job once at a motel and café; the Wolf in Sheep's Clothing, until I turned eighteen. My grandfather is controlling and very protective of me, so he hardly let me out at home, I was homeschooled. It was hard for me to live my life, especially when failing at trying to make friends. It's all because of my family's hatred for vampires from what happened with Dracula and his rendezvous my Great-Grandmother Mina."
"They kind of sound like Drac when he raised Mavis. Look Daniel, not all vampires are bad, trust me, I'm married to one," Elisa started to speak, placing a comforting hand over his own. "And humanities' fear of the unknown can blind them with hate, like your family. It makes people like them the true monsters of the world."
While Daniel was thinking over what she said, he knew that Elisa had discovered what he had been suffering through in the past. He thought all monsters were created by the devil to plague the earth. But as he gazed at the monsters and humans engaged in conversation or playing with their families, Daniel realized these monsters weren't the demons that had to be wiped clean off the earth. They had emotions like humans do. They were abused like he was. All because of difference. No wonder humanity wanted to destroy them, for they never understood the monsters were never a threat to begin with. But he remembered the story his grandfather told him; how Dracula destroyed innocent lives and seduced Mina to betray her family. He didn't know what to think. He felt torn.
Elisa continued on gently, "When people feel like outsiders or look different, my hotel is a place that makes people feel like they belong, even the rejected of monsters or humans can be themselves there. We treat each other like family, that's the most important thing we do at the hotel."
Gazing at her softly, Daniel added, "I never thought of it like that. You're an insightful person. I wonder how Dracula managed to snag you. You must of had tons of men after you before you married a vampire."
His words made Elisa blush deeply. "Thank you. Not many men were after me," she stuttered. "Oh, wait. There was Corbin and some other guys who tried to snag me."
In the restaurant nearby, Johnny's face glowed pleasantly in the flickering light of a candle.
"Isn't this place amazing?" Johnny asked his vampire wife. "Wow! The menu is in a bottle. Isn't that awesome, honey?"
But Mavis was too distracted to notice. "What? Oh, sorry. I was just thinking about mom and dad. Don't you think my parents have been acting weird lately?"
"Not really," Johnny said casually, then said something like it was no big deal which it was, "besides your mom wants to be a vampire but Drac keeps refusing, and your dad having a huge crush on the captain."
Those words blew Mavis away, she couldn't believe her ears. "What?!" She had no idea her stepmother wanted to become a vampire, but her dad falling in love with someone else besides her stepmother. "T-That's crazy... right?"
"Oh yeah. The Love Boat is definitely taking a turn," Johnny joked, "but I'm sure its nothing serious. The Love Boat will definitely make another run once the rumor dies down."
"No way. He's..." Mavis paused, "my dad... he would never do that to stepmom... crushing on the captain, I mean."
"I know, right? It's weird. When my parents kiss, I still close my eyes," Johnny added, but then noticed Mavis looking grim. "I mean, that's what it seems like, but I could be wrong. You know how much your dad loves Ellie," Johnny assured, trying not to bum out his wife with this secret.
"Don't get me wrong, Johnny. Elisa is great, it's just..." Mavis picked at the umbrella from her drink and fondles it, looking glum. "I guess I never thought about him spending eternity with anyone besides my bio-mom."
"You're cool with it, though, right? If Ellie does become a vampire?" Johnny asked.
"Of course, I want them to be happy!" Just then, Mavis noticed her stepmother was dancing with a familiar man. "Wait, is that my mom... with Daniel?!" Mavis couldn't believe her eyes.
Johnny looked over his shoulder, saying, "Whoa, they're really cutting a rug out there, huh, Mavis?"
Mavis said nothing as she gawked at her mother dancing with another man, but she had to remain positive. "I'm sure it's nothing serious between them."
Elisa and Daniel swayed pretty smoothly with each other then as the Hawaiian music sped up so did their dancing. They started to do a tango-like dance and they were in perfect sync. As they continued to waltz, Daniel lifted Elisa up in the air by her waist and spun her around. After he was done doing with that, he brought Elisa back down and twirled her around. Then he held her close and tilted her in a dip, halting their dance.
Suddenly, her pulse reached his ears and a familiar instinct rushed through him. His fangs growing, Daniel felt that old familiar urge to do what vampires, or rather hybrids, do to humans. He began to lean forward, his mouth half open, ready for a bite. Elisa had no idea what he was doing and, believing he was going to kiss her, kicked him right in the gut and flipped him over her shoulder.
"Don't even think about it!" she warned. "I'm a married woman!"
From their dinner table, Mavis and Johnny gawked at the brunette woman's actions. Perhaps there wasn't anything serious between them after all.
On board the Legacy in the ship's cantina, the restaurant was romantic and dimly lit. Fish crew members played in a mariachi band and served drinks. A Mexican Chupacabra ordered his usual, a goat in a martini. There were plenty of couples or dates going on here, love was in the air, except for one.
Two pairs of feet walked over toward each other until they were face to face. The vampire, Count Dracula, wore an orange and black shirt, white pants and shoes. The human, Captain Ericka, looked stunning in her white fiesta sunflower attire.
"You look ravishing," Dracula complimented.
"Oh, thank you. I just..." That particular comment made Ericka uncomfortable, even though it was friendly.
Dracula magically pulled out a chair for her, and they sat down. Then he started a conversation. "So does Captain Ericka have a last name?"
That question got Ericka nervous for a second, then she blurted out to a fish waiter, "Guacamole!"
"Ericka Guacamole?" Dracula asked, thinking it was awkward. "That's so... international." He did remain polite so not to offend her.
"No, guacamole for us to share," she corrected, just as the fish waiter brought in the guacamole and set it on the table. Now Ericka needed to distract the oblivious vampire. "Oh, how beautiful is that full moon tonight. Look right behind you."
While Dracula was distracted by turning around to look at the moon, the evil-smirking Ericka took out a small bottle of garlic oil and dumped the whole thing into the guacamole. Like Daniel and his family, she had been taught that garlic was deadly for vampires like Dracula.
As soon as Dracula turned around to smile lovingly at her, Ericka flirted, "Mmm. The food here is to die for."
Then she took a chip from the basket, dunked it in the guacamole, and fed it to Dracula. He swallowed it hard. Ericka took another chip covered in garlic guacamole and fed it again to the naïve vampire. She took two more chips loaded with guacamole and fed them to Dracula. And then two more chips with the garlic-covered guacamole, shoving it all in his mouth. Dracula's mouth was completely filled with chips and garlic guacamole. He swallowed it all again.
"Holy moly! That was a lot of guacamole!" Dracula wooed, wiggling his eyes at the sneaky captain.
"Are you feeling all right?" Ericka asked coyly.
"Totally fine. Why?" Dracula asked smiling.
"No reason." Ericka waited patiently for the poisonous garlic to kick in.
Suddenly Dracula's stomach grumbled, loudly. He clutched his tummy in pain. "Oh. I wonder if there was garlic in the guacamole?"
"Oh no," Ericka lied. Then she looked at him closely, expecting the vampire's demise to happen sooner. "Isn't that deadly for you?"
"No, no, no, no," Dracula grunted, the pain was becoming worse. "It's just that I'm... eh, garlic intolerant..."
Ericka smiled, waiting for garlic to take its effect and put an end to Dracula forever.
However, Dracula let out a toot. Ericka's smile faded to surprise. He began to sweat, and am embarrassed grin spread over his face. "Hehe, was that you?"
Ericka couldn't believe it. She had honestly thought he'd be dead by now. She didn't understand why the garlic oil didn't kill him. Garlic was supposed to kill vampires.
Meanwhile back on the deserted island, Mavis and Johnny were still enjoying their date night.
The young couple had gone dolphin surfing. Mavis was doing pretty good, while Johnny had trouble surfing a dolphin, shouting, "Oh yeah! Dolphin surfing!"
Afterword, Mavis and Johnny walked on the beach, laughing and leaning their heads on each other.
"Hey guys!" Elisa greeted, walking over toward her stepdaughter and her stepson-in-law, with Daniel walking side by side with her. "I see your having a good time."
"Best date night ever!" Johnny replied excitedly.
"I see you two are having a date night yourselves," Mavis added, though it sounded forced, gesturing to the man beside her stepmother.
"What? No, we're not dating!" Elisa denied immediately.
"I was just cheering up this lovely flower that nobody wanted," Daniel replied, casually placing am arm around Elisa's shoulders.
"Uh-huh." Mavis raised a suspicious eyebrow.
After removing Daniel's arm from her elbow so not to give her stepdaughter the wrong impression, Elisa pointed out a sand castle that intrigued her. "Look at that!"
"Woah!" Johnny gasped, noticing the cool sand castle.
The gang had built a giant sand castle that looked exactly like Hotel Transylvania. It was big enough to that they all fit inside thanks to an opening behind the castle. Mavis, Johnny, Elisa and Daniel were deeply impressed.
"Hi, Momma! Hi, Daddy! Hi, Nana!" Dennis greeted, jumping out of the sandcastle.
"Hey, hey!" said Winnie.
Then Melany, Evan, Adrian, Murray, Blobby, Wendy, her little blob brother, Hank, Pedro, Griffin, and Frank popped out.
"Hi, Mommy! Do you like it?" Melany greeted, emerging from the top by levitating.
"It's amazing," awed Elisa.
"Is my dad in there too?" Mavis asked hopefully.
Everyone, except the kids, hopped back inside the sand castle... and then a voice from inside said, "Don't worry. I'm over here. Blah, blah, blah." It didn't sound like Dracula at all, because it was Griffin pretending to be Dracula.
Mavis and Elisa frowned, not buying it at all.
Then Dennis spilled the beans, not realizing it was a secret, "No. Papa Drac's not here. He's on his date."
"Date?!" Mavis gasped.
Melany raised a puzzled eyebrow, not understanding what was going on, but it didn't sound good because it concerned her father. When Mavis turned to her stepmother, Elisa, to see how she was handling this.
Not good apparently, because from the looks of Elisa, you could tell she was not happy at all, heck you could even see murder in her eyes. "WHAT DATE?!" she roared.
Back in the cantina, Ericka was still upset that her plan to kill the vampire hadn't worked. And Dracula was mortified by his gassiness.
"Please forgive me, I..." he apologized. "I'm just very nervous. You see, I haven't had a date since my wife, Martha, died."
When she heard this, Ericka's face softened and her anger had vanished. "How old was your daughter?"
"She was just an infant," Dracula explained, referring to Mavis, but the faint purple sparks in his eyes prevented him from mentioning his date with Elisa. "That's why I opened the hotel, so that I could raise her in safety. It was hard being a single dad, but I... I did my best."
His story touched Ericka, who became suddenly quiet and reflective. "I never knew my mother either, or my father," she revealed.
"I'm so sorry," Dracula replied, full of concern. "Who raised you?"
"My great-grandfather," Ericka said. "I basically grew up on this ship." There was a hint of regret in her voice.
"That's why you're a captain," Dracula smiled, processing her story.
"Yeah, it's all I've ever known. It was just expected. You know, a family thing," Ericka explained.
"I understand. Family is everything," Dracula got it, understanding her feelings. "You have to honor the past. But we make our own future."
Dracula had no idea he had hit on something Ericka had been struggling with. She didn't want to be on the boat forever. She wanted to make her own future, and he understood. She was becoming very self-conscious about the fact that she had lost sight of her true mission. During this moment, Ericka began to have a change of heart about Dracula, and she was beginning to fall in love with him.
The two of them gazed deeply in each other's blue eyes for a moment. They began to lean in to share a romantic kiss, until they were rudely interrupted.
"DAD!" Mavis shouted.
"DRACULA!" Elisa yelled.
"Mavis! Elisa!" Dracula gasped, surprised to see his family had caught him in the act.
Both Dracula and Ericka immediately drew back, shocked to see an angry Mavis, a furious Elisa, and a surprised Daniel. Mother and daughter were upset to see him with Ericka, of all people. Mavis glared disappointedly at her father with her hands on her hips. Elisa glared the deadliest of them all with her arms folded.
"Johnny!" Mavis scolded her husband, who tried to eat the guacamole and chips.
"Is THIS what you call spending time with the kids?!" Elisa exploded, having overheard what he just said, as she picked up his drink off the table and threw it at Dracula's face to soak him as he spluttered and wiped his face off. "You call THIS family is everything by placing a stranger's needs before your own family, you idiot!"
Her outburst attracted everyone's attention at the restaurant. Johnny felt guilty for bringing Mavis and Elisa into the cantina, but his mother-in-law persuaded him to do it.
Dracula tried to explain why he was eating dinner with Ericka, but he made up a story, and he wasn't a very good liar. "Captain Ericka and I were just... discussing the hospitality industry! You know, just work stuff."
But Mavis and Elisa weren't buying the story, they wanted to confront him and the Captain on what was really happening.
"Oh, and does discussing work involve KISSING!" Elisa bellowed.
"We weren't about to do that! Honestly, sweetheart!" Dracula tried to defend himself.
"You're a liar!" Elisa cut him off, harshly shutting him down.
"You're working now? This is supposed to be a vacation. A family vacation!" Mavis sternly reminded him.
"I should really go do captain-y things," Ericka stood up and prepared to leave up the stairs, but her arm was grasped by a fuming Elisa.
"Oh no, you're not," she snarled.
Mavis turned back to her father, still disappointed in him for going behind her back again, and angered that he put a stranger before his own family instead of considering his family is everything. "Dad, you said you were going to spend time with the kids!"
"Dennis? Melany? Adrian? Dennis! Kids!" Dracula knew he had to get out of there and fast, so he pretended to act like the kids had been with him all along and go look for them. "Oh, yeah, you're right. Where are those kids? Denisovich, Melantha, Adrian, you're supposed to be with me. Come on, now kids. It's family time!" he called out as he hurried out of the cantina.
"You're not going anywhere!" Elisa snarled angerly as she prevented her husband from fleeing by catching hold of his shirt collar. "You lied to me! I thought you were spending time with the kids, but here I find you with HER! I specifically told you to stay away from her!" Her voice raised to a higher volume.
"Blood Rose, it's not like that! She just wanted to discuss work related stuff with me!" Dracula continued lying to her.
Just then, Elisa notices a fish waiter coming by carrying a tray of guacamole and chips, and she got an evil idea for revenge. She caught up to Ericka, who was still engaged in an argument with Daniel, interrupting, "Hey Captain, I hear you love shoving guacamole down my husband's throat, so..." she spoke in a sassy rude tone, "HOW ABOUT I SHOVE GUACAMOLE DOWN YOUR THROAT!" Elisa hollered as she grabbed the bowl of guacamole from the passing fish waiter's tray and shoved it right in Ericka's face.
A chorus of gasps echoed around the restaurant. Everyone was shocked and outraged by Elisa's actions, especially Dracula, Mavis, Johnny and Daniel. One of the dinner guest monsters recorded the confrontation on his smartphone.
After Ericka got guacamole-ied in the face, she did her best to hide her anger so not to cause a scene. She wiped off the guac in her eyes, noticing a concerned Dracula approach her, but she immediately drew back, grunting, "This was a bad idea. I'm sorry. I have to go."
"Ericka..." Dracula tried to stop her. He didn't want the evening to end like this.
And just like that, Ericka left the restaurant followed by a disappointed Daniel, but Mavis angrily blocked Dracula's path with a hand up to his chest, preventing him from going after her.
No sooner had they gone, Dracula whirled his head around to glower at his wife. "What's the matter with you?! She didn't deserve that!" he yelled angrily.
This got Elisa so mad that she retorted, "We need to talk now!" Then she allowed a fuming Dracula to follow her somewhere private where they could talk.
Concerned, Mavis turned to Johnny, who was no longer worried anymore. "What was that about?" she asked her human husband.
"You mean your dad's date?" Johnny ate a chip.
"It wasn't a date! It was... work stuff!" Mavis insisted.
"Uh-huh." Johnny let her believe what she wanted.
"I'm telling you, Johnny, there's something about that woman I don't trust," Mavis scowled, feeling as if a stone hardened in her belly over Ericka's motives. "And that man..." she glanced up at Daniel on the balcony, "he's hiding something, I'm sure of it."
"But you want your mom and dad to be happy, right?" Johnny asked.
"Yes... Just not with her," Mavis muttered, talking about Ericka with disgust, "and certainly not with that jerk." She was referring to Daniel.
"Heads up, honey!" Johnny warned, still focused on the guacamole. "This guac is loaded with garlic!"
"Garlic?" Mavis was surprised. She grabbed a chip from the guac and ate it. Immediately, her stomach rumbled and the tiniest little toot came out.
"Aw, that's a cute toot, honey." Johnny grinned amusingly.
However, Mavis noticed two vials had been left on the floor. She picked them up and one read 'scorpion poison' and the other read 'garlic oil.' Following the direction where Ericka and Daniel had gone to, Mavis narrowed her eyes. She was now more suspicious of those two snakes than ever.
As she pulled her husband by his ear, to his dislike, she dragged him to a secluded area of the ship so they could have it out.
"Care to explain why you went on a date with the captain!" Elisa growled.
After rubbing his ear from the pain, Dracula scowled as he explained to his wife, "Blood Rose, listen I-" but he was cut off from an angry Elisa.
"Ohh, don't you Blood Rose me mister!" She spat at her husband, not fond with her pet names right now. "Explain yourself!"
"Ugh, look Ellie, Ericka did show some interest in me and asked me out to dinner. But I was gonna tell her down when we met up at the Cantina!"
"But that doesn't explain why you didn't tell me about this!"
"I didn't want you to fret over the ordeal with Ericka," he explained. "I wanted to handle this myself without you worrying. Oh, and what you did to Ericka wasn't cool either!" He scolded her. "Now, I think you should apologize to her."
Elisa was appalled at the very thought of apologizing to that woman, no, that monster, so she refused, "There is no way I'm apologizing to that WHITE HOODED COBRA! I was lonely and I needed you with me, to be with your family. At least Daniel was there for me."
"Huh? Why was Daniel with you?" Hearing this, a suspicious Dracula questioned her. "Were you on a date with him?!" he accused her.
"Don't turn this around on me, if you must know he was keeping me company while you were sneaking off with the Captain! We are supposed to tell each other everything, Drac!" Elisa stated. "That's the most important thing in a marriage Drac - trust!" She started to get emotional. "You could've told me about this and we could've have figured out a way to resolve this together! But noooooo, you just had to keep it from me and go on a date with that WHITE-HAIRED SHE-DEMON!" She furiously screamed at that last part.
"It wasn't a real date, Elisa!" Dracula retorted, who was now getting feud up with her attitude.
"Even if it wasn't really a date, you still lied to me! And I know the signs of a kiss when I SEE one!" The brunette woman reminded him. "It's like you don't consider what I think, especially you not wanting to turn me into a vampire!"
"Seriously, this again!" Dracula scoffed annoyingly, ticked off that his wife brought that subject up again. "I keep telling you, I don't want to turn you because I'm trying to protect you!"
"Protect me from what, possibly turning into a crazy, violent, feral, monster! When it probably won't even happen!"
"You don't know that!"
"Because you are too afraid to try. What happened to Mina or Lucy, happened centuries ago, it'll probably be different if you do it on me!"
"I... I just can't!" He upsettingly admitted to her.
His words hurt Elisa so much that she retorted, "Drac, it's like you don't want to spend eternity with me!"
Those purple sparks in his eyes fumed Dracula so much that he could no longer contain his anger, and he said something so hurtful to his wife, "Sometimes I don't know why I ever married you!"
This put a very hurtful expression on Elisa's face after he said that. Tears were threatening to burst in her heartbroken green eyes. But before their argument could go further, they heard footsteps in the distance and turned around to see who it was. To their surprise, it was their youngest daughter Melany, who had been witness to the whole thing.
"Melany... it's not what it looks like!" Dracula tried to make up an excuse. "Your mother and I were just-" before he could explain anything further, Melany's eyes began to swell up with tears, changed into a bat and flew away weeping. "I'll go after her," Dracula stated, wanting to fix things with his daughter.
But he was prevented from doing this by Elisa. "No! Why don't you go off somewhere and lie about it later. You're great at that!" she snarked coldly.
And with that said, Elisa ran off after her youngest daughter, leaving a sulking Dracula behind.
Unknown to them, Lydia, who had left her cabin after changing her swimwear, overheard the entire argument in complete shock at what she herd. But then again, this was her brother and he was no stranger when it comes to flirting around with other women and breaking hearts. "Wait until father hears about this!" she whispered to herself.
But before she left, the Dark Baroness sees a bunch of seagulls eating scraps from a table. This gave Lydia an idea. Out of spiteful amusement, she hypnotized a bunch of nearby seagulls and commanded them to attack her brother. It was a cruel punishment as Dracula freaked out when dozens of seagulls flew upon him and started pecking at him.
