Cordelia and Dracula watched as Celina was dragged away by Jenna. Cordelia stifled a giggle.
Dracula turned to her. "What is so amusing, my dear?" he asked. It wasn't that he had a problem with it; in fact he liked how Cordelia laughed. He was curious as to why she was laughing.
"I never thought I'd come across a human who's just as strong as a monster" Cordelia stated.
Dracula found an amused smile spread across his face. "Only just, my dear" he chuckled, embracing his re-zing.
Cordelia smiled too, interlacing her fingers with Dracula's. It felt so good to feel loved again. "You know, that girl reminds me of myself when I was her age" she sighed.
"Is that so, Cordelia?" Dracula asked.
"I used to be made fun of a lot when I was her age. All because I believe there was more in this world that just humans and animals. I also had a bad temper so I would always fight back. That was until Johan came along. When my father killed him and my son, it felt like I lost my catalyst for my temper so I was back to being a bad-tempered woman when it came to father. Then I meet you. Now I feel as happy as ever" Cordelia explained.
"And I am glad I met you, my love" Dracula replied, planting a tender kiss on her forehead.
Later on, everyone went back to the party. Baby Fang and his sisters were raving on the tables with the werepups.
Celina rubbed her tongue with the back of her hand, still tasting the soap in her mouth from her punishment. "Why did I have to do that?" she muttered.
Her friends just chuckled.
Mavis, Jenna, Zeva, Katya, Cordelia and the girls were by the drinks table, talking about anything and everything while Dracula had gone to converse with some of the other monsters. Emina was just clinging to Jenna's neck as the older girl held her.
"How long have you been here, Jenna?" Cordelia asked.
"Two or three days. Same as my older brother" Jenna replied.
"Hey Jenna, you never told us how you and Wilbur zinged. You told me you felt the zing the moment you laid eyes on him, but you never mentioned what happened" Mavis pointed out.
"Yes, I would like to know too" Cordelia agreed, earning a high-five from Mavis.
Celina, Zack, Fynna, Ilene, Tyler and Penipatria turned around. Zack's ears twitched, he wanted to know the story how his parents met but no one had told him the story yet, not even when he kept bugging his parents, his oldest sister, Emina and their grandparents about it.
Celina's ears popped out. 'How did Uncle Wilbur and Aunt Jenna actually meet?' she thought curiously. Her friends gave smug grins.
Emina then said something in baby babble.
"She says 'how did you meet daddy, mommy?'" Princey translated, grinning mischievously.
Jenna blinked. She had not been expecting that. But surprisingly, no one had seen the way Wilbur had collided into her that day, her cheeks turned pink at the memory. "Umm, it's kinda embarrassing" she admitted.
Zeva smirked. "Come on, Aunt Jenna" she teased.
"Spill!" Katya giggled.
The other girls also shouted many encouragements.
"Well, umm, I happened to be talking to Drac when someone yells 'Heads up!'. I turned and then Wilbur crashes into me and, before you know it, the both of us were sent crashing to the opposite side of the lobby. I was just about to rip him a new one until we made eye contact. I thought I heard a 'zinging' noise as our eyes flashed violet. And I was practically pinned under him" Jenna told the group as she blushed deeper.
The other girls burst out laughing.
"AWW!" Emina cooed.
"That's a rather unique way to find your true love" Cordelia chuckled.
"I then found out from Wanye that Wilbur had been racing with Wally, Wilf and his other siblings and tripped, the lovable idiot. Apparently before he became my zing, he acted exactly like an overgrown pup" Jenna added. 'Now I know why Zack has a sharp tongue and acts like a pup; he takes after Wilbur' she thought.
Celina, Fynna, Penipatria, Ilene, Tyler and Zack stood there, mouths agape when they realised what this meant.
Fynna and Ilene started laughing their butts off.
Tyler and Penipatria looked at each other and sighed. They then both disappeared out of the room.
Cordelia looked over at the stage. Mavis and Jenna caught on and the three females rushed forward and on stage, Jenna putting Emina down so she could run off and play with Winnie. A familiar song to Jenna started to play. She, Cordelia and Mavis sang the song to their zings, or in Cordelia's case – her re-zing.
Cordelia: The way you move is like a full on rainstorm
And I'm a house of cards
You're the kind of reckless
That should send me runnin'
But I kinda know that I won't get far
Mavis: And you stood there in front of me
Just close enough to touch
Close enough to hope you couldn't see
What I was thinking of
All: Drop everything now
Meet me in the pourin' rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'cause I feel sparks fly whenever you smile
Cordelia: (singing to Dracula) Get me with those blue eyes, baby, as the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'cause I feel sparks fly whenever you smile
Mavis: My mind forgets to remind me
You're a bad idea
You touch me once and it's really something,
You find I'm even better than you imagined I would be.
Jenna: I'm on my guard for the rest of the world
But with you, I know it's no good
And I could wait patiently but I really wish you would...
All: Drop everything now
Meet me in the pourin' rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'cause I feel sparks fly whenever you smile
Mavis: (singing to Johnny) Get me with those brown eyes, baby, as the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'cause I feel sparks fly whenever you smile
Cordelia: I run my fingers through your hair and watch the lights go wild.
Just keep on keeping your eyes on me, it's just wrong enough to make it feel right.
And lead me up the staircase
Won't you whisper soft and slow?
Jenna: I'm captivated by you, baby, like a firework show.
All: Drop everything now,
Meet me in the pourin' rain,
Kiss me on the sidewalk,
Take away the pain
'cause I feel sparks fly whenever you smile.
Jenna: (Singing to Wilbur) Get me with those gold eyes, baby, as the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'cause I feel sparks fly whenever you smile
Mavis: And the sparks fly...
Cordelia: Oh, baby, smile...
Jenna: And the sparks fly...
[A/N: Again, had to edit the lyrics to suit them]
Dracula helped Cordelia down off the stage. "That was lovely of you, my dear" he chuckled, bringing the woman into a loving kiss.
Mavis ran over and tackled Johnny into a hug. "Did you like the song?" she asked.
"It was awesome" Johnny laughed as he hugged Mavis back.
Wilbur then engulfed Jenna in a massive bear hug. "Great as always, Little Red" he said with a smirk, picking her up bridal style.
"Well, that was rubbish!" a new voice interrupted. Everyone turned to see a devil man with long brown and red hair and yellow eyes in a snappy red suit.
On his right was a devil/angel boy with fire red and black streaked hair and pure white eyes. He also had white small feather wings and a whiplash tail that was wrapped around his leg. He wore ordinary kid's clothes.
On his left was a faerie teenage girl with black and white frizzy hair and yellow eyes with no pupils. She was dressed in blue and white clothing. Her wings were large and transparent, like a dragonfly's.
Dracula pulled away from his kiss with Cordelia to glare at the newcomer. "Jucifer. I thought I smelt a rat" he growled.
"Shut it, Drac!" Jucifer snapped. He looked around. He frowned when he looked at Charlie (who was hiding behind Wilf), Devon (who just looked bored), Johnny, Jenna (which made Wilbur snarl and grip Jenna more protectively) and Cordelia (who Dracula had moved behind him protectively). "I see you're letting more humans in this place. I knew it would only be a matter of time before you crumbled. All because of a human infatuation" he taunted.
"They have finally accepted us, Jucifer. Times have changed since the olden days. And you leave my Cordelia out of this!" Dracula snapped.
The faerie girl turned to Wilbur. "Wilbur, I see you've finally found your zing. Good for you" she said calmly, her voice like water.
"Thanks, Othello. But can you at least try and control your wise-ass dad before he ends up getting kicked out by uncle Drac again?" Wilbur replied.
"I try to" Othello answered. She then turned around to notice that her brother was missing. "Oh, look. Orpheus has wandered off to go find Winnie" she said nonchalantly.
Wilbur's eye twitched; he still hadn't gotten over the fact that the precocious angel/devil boy had pre-zinged with his kid sister just a year ago. And Emina had gone off to play with his sister; he knew she would be scared by Orpheus. He put Jenna down. "I'll be back, babe" he whispered in her ear before he went off, in overprotective big brother mode as well as overprotective father mode.
Othello laughed then turned to Jenna. "What is your name?" she asked.
"Jenna" Jenna replied.
"Othello, an old acquaintance of your zing. I apologise for the spiteful way my father looked upon you. Then again, it is good Wilbur is protective of you" Othello breezed and danced off.
Well, that's all we've got time for. Recap: Drac and Cordelia shared a rather cute moment, the party got interrupted once again by Jucifer. His kids have both gone to do their own thing while Tyler and Penipatria have resumed the search for the Time-Scarab pieces. Next time, Marcus tries to pick a fight with Zack, Wally makes up with Devon after getting advice from Wilbur while the party resumes. Thanks and don't forget to review.
