Reunion and surprises

For the Hotel Transylvania party at the moment, things were going both good and bad. The good news is that Bigtop Bill was finally caught by the authorities and he was now being arrested. The bad news…well…let's head over to the characters now to find out.

Dracula, Johnny, and the others had just approached Mavis' car, which is a 2013 Shelby Mustang 1000, and let me tell you; it was completely banged up in some places like both rear quarter panels and parts of the front bumper got completely smashed because of Mavis' counterattack against Bigtop Bill. Anyway, Dracula reached out for the door handle. He grabbed it, pulled it, and opened the vehicle door. Upon doing that, they were greeted by a plume of black smoke that rose out from the cabin. Everyone took a giant step back and stared at the car for any sign of Mavis from the inside. The one who was the most worried over this episode was primarily Dracula; considering that Mavis is his daughter and that he vowed that he wasn't going to let anything bad happen to her. Besides him, his friends were also concerned and pretty much everyone had their eyes glued at the vehicle.

2 minutes later, some good signs started to show from the partially damaged vehicle. An arm emerged from the curtain of smoke while waving back and forth from the left to the right. At the bottom, you could see a familiar shoe make contact with the asphalt. A few seconds later, a familiar face then emerged from the smoke screen. Mavis emerged from the Shelby Mustang 1000 and it seems that parts of her body and outfit got singed pretty badly; even parts of her vampire cape got disintegrated from the sunlight during the chase. Upon seeing that Mavis got out of the car safely, everyone; even Sherriff Roosevelt, his squad, and many bystanders, all broke out in applause.

"MAVY!" Dracula exclaimed in joy.

But before Mavis could react, she found her father sprinting toward her and then found herself locked in a huge bear hug.

"D-Dad! Y-you can let g-go now." Mavis tried to say while also trying to free herself from her dad.

"Oh…sorry my little dead ums." Dracula said while letting go of his daughter.

After that happened, the other members of the Hotel Transylvania party approached the two vampires. Upon getting there, the characters surrounded Mavis.

"I have to admit, that was some sweet driving there!" Griffin commented while adjusting his glasses.

"Thanks…" Mavis replied while blushing a bit.

"Yeah, that was some wicked driving there Mavis!" Johnny commented.

Everyone was full of questions and compliments and they were asking Mavis without stopping. Before anyone could ask anymore, Sherriff Roosevelt approached the party.

"Hope I'm not crashing the reunion here, but someone wants to see you for a moment." The cop stated.

"Who wants to see me?" Mavis asked.

"Well…I'd rather not say his name." Sherriff Roosevelt replied.

"I think I have an idea on who it is…" Mavis replied after realizing who wanted to see her.

Without saying anything, Sherriff Roosevelt told his fellow squad members to bring the person over. After a few seconds, a couple of more officers from both the LAPD and the FBI came over with Bigtop Bill, who was now in handcuffs and shackles, at hand. Bigtop Bill had a look of sadness on his face while Mavis had a look of anger on her face.

"What do you want now? Didn't you already cause enough damage for one day!?" Dracula exclaimed immediately.

"I-I'm not here for that sir…I-"

"Sure you are." Dracula interrupted while having an angry face.

All the other characters, except Mavis, started to gang up on Bigtop Bill like a gang of thugs and started to hammer him with demanding questions like:

"Why did you kidnap my daughter!?"

"Why did you lie to us about you being a movie critic!?"

"Why were you dishonest this entire time!?"

Bigtop Bill just stood there in shame and his face dropped further, almost to the point that his emotions were gonna switch from sad to upset. Mavis saw that Bigtop Bill was about to burst into tears and she couldn't let herself just stand there while the others kept verbally assaulting this poor, helpless chap. All of a sudden, her face dropped from anger to sympathy and she got an idea.

"Guys, can you leave us alone for a second?" Mavis requested with a serious tone.

"Are you crazy!? You alone with this kidnapping monster!? Absolutely not!" Dracula boomed.

"Yeah! He'd kidnap you again!" Johnny said in agreement with Dracula.

Mavis then crossed her arms and looked at the two sternly.

"I think she means it drac." Frank said while whispering into Dracula's ear.

After getting the message, Dracula and the others walked away for a few moments. An FBI agent stayed behind for moderation reasons. After all said in done, Mavis turned around toward Bigtop Bill and offered him a chance to explain himself.

"Okay…I'm gonna be a lot more nicer than my dad and my boyfriend back there. Would you like to explain why you committed your actions against me?" Mavis asked while lifting Bigtop Bill's head up with her hands.

Bigtop Bill took a moment to pull himself together and then he began to speak.

"It…It was just…a…an honest mistake. I thought that y…you were someone else I knew." Bigtop Bill stated while trying to keep his act together.

"Who did you think I was anyway?" Mavis asked.

"I th…thought that you were this movie star I used to date." Bigtop Bill replied.

This was quite an ironic moment for Mavis considering that she kept being mistaken for one for a good majority of this story.

"Don't worry, you aren't the first to mistake me around here." Mavis said with reassurance while recalling those times at the airport, the Santa Monica pier, the hotel, and the theatre.

Bigtop Bill then smiled briefly. After that, he said the following words:

"Also, I'd really like to offer you my sincerest apology for all this misunderstanding. I really hope you'll forgive me, my lady."

Mavis was quite shocked at this one. Why would her kidnapper apologize for what he did? He nearly put herself and pretty much the others in danger in this kind of situation. Normally, she wouldn't accept it in this scenario. However, because of Bigtop Bill opening up and being completely honest, it wouldn't be the right thing to do. Therefore, she held out her left hand with the palm open and then she said this:

"Yes, I forgive you."

Upon that, Bigtop Bill tried to reach his cuffed right hand out to meet with Mavis' left hand and the two of them then shook hands. After that, she walked away from Bigtop Bill and headed back to the others, who were actually in disbelief as to what has happened.

"Mavis…uh…WHAT WAS THAT!?" Dracula exclaimed in shock.

"Dad, I can't stay mad at him forever. Besides, he was even honest with me!" Mavis replied in defense to her actions.

Everyone just stood there frozen. Dracula and Johnny had their mouths wide open while the others just stood there.

"I simply cannot understand how…my…my daughter FORGAVE that cretin!" Dracula said in both anger and shock.

"Dad, you can't hold a grudge against someone forever. There's no point in it really." Mavis said with a serious tone.

Both Wayne and Murray stepped up to the plate.

"She's got a point there Drac." Wayne said.

"Yeah, that was actually making a statement there." Murray said in addition.

Dracula took a moment to soak in all of this info since it was a huge amount. Ironically, this same scenario also applies to what has happened to him in the past like when the 19th century humans took his only wife away from him. After comparing yesteryear to today, he decided to accept Mavis' advice and he too forgave Bigtop Bill.

"Okay, he's yours now." Dracula said while facing Sherriff Roosevelt.

"Alright. Do you wanna bring charges against him?" Roosevelt asked.

"I do not." Dracula declared.

He immediately walked over to Bigtop Bill and began walking him toward a squad car.

"Today's partly your lucky day my friend; they're not bringing charges against you for kidnapping. But I'm afraid you're going in for the FBI's most wanted." Sherriff Roosevelt declared.

Bigtop Bill just shrugged it off. At least for him, he won't be facing additional charges today. After placing him in the car, he returned to the Hotel Transylvania party.

"Okay, we finally caught him! How about we celebrate now with a huge dinner?" Sherriff Roosevelt suggested.

"I'm up for food!" Wayne immediately replied.

"Surprise surprise…" Murray remarked.

Both Frank and Murray did a fist bump after that.

"Any Ideas?" Roosevelt asked.

"Anyone up for sirloin?" Johnny asked.

"Really? Sirloin? Man…" Sherriff Roosevelt replied while admiring the goodness of 100% real sirloin.

"Alright; it's a plan." He said while pulling out his Blackberry. "Is it alright if I bring a friend along?"

"Sure! The more the merrier!" Dracula replied.

"Awesome! So, what place is it?" Sherriff Roosevelt asked.

"I know a great place!" Johnny replied.

Everyone then grinned in anticipation.

-1 Hour later-

We now find everyone heading inside a local BBQ joint named 'Texas Roadhouse'. Sherriff Roosevelt had told the Hotel Transylvania party that he and his friend would meet them there and get a seat.

"Are you sure he's here?" Dracula asked Johnny.

"He is. He just messaged me and his friend is waiting right at the door." Johnny replied.

After that, they walked through the door of the establishment.

"I have a feeling that this is gonna be gre-WHAT!?" Dracula exclaimed.

He couldn't believe what he saw before him. There stood Sherriff Roosevelt's friend. Her name was Samantha and, ironically, she looks exactly like Mavis. Both Dracula and Mavis stood there with their mouths open (Dracula's mouth was open wider considering the great shock in this irony.) Immediately, Sherriff Roosevelt came into the scene.

"Oh hey guys! This is my friend Samantha; she's a big star here in Hollywood and a personal friend to me." He said while introducing his friend.

Samantha just smiled and waved a friendly hello without saying anything.

Without warning, Dracula immediately fainted and hit the ground hard.

"Wow…that could've gone better." Griffin stated.

"That's what I was thinking!" Murray added.

Mavis then recovered from her trance and then turned to everyone else.

"Ok…let's eat!" She declared to the party.

"Sounds like a plan!" Johnny and Sherriff Roosevelt both said at the same time.

And that, my reader, concludes the fantastic story about how the Hotel Transylvania party traveled to Hollywood and had the vacation of their lives. What happened afterward? Here's what happened:

- Dracula got up a minute later and joined the others in the great sirloin feast.

- Mavis and Johnny continue showing affection for each other and their plans to travel the world. They tried to do a small kiss at the table, but Dracula did his usual thing with the roar; nearly freaking out the entire restaurant. After apologizing, Dracula let the two lovebirds continue their kiss.

- Bigtop Bill was arrested by the LAPD and the FBI. He is currently serving a mandatory sentence of 70 years in Alcatraz.

- The henchmen that served Bigtop Bill were later arrested on charges of kidnapping and harboring a fugitive. They're all sentenced to 25 years in prison.

- After the events streamed through the local news, Mavis experienced no further incidents of mistaken identity.

Once more, my reader, this concludes the story about how the Hotel Transylvania party traveled to Hollywood and had the vacation of their lives….well…not yet!

Stay tuned for the epilogue!
