Soon, Cherry and Lionel came into their rooms and soon went to get their towels to check out the sauna up close.
Dracula, Blobby, Griffin, Wayne, Frank, and Murray were already there and soon they were relaxing after the dragon steamed the sauna for them breathing the deep sigh of relief and relaxation.
"Didn't I tell you guys we'd have fun in here?" Dracula smiled at his friends. "Is this not the best?"
Blobby then removed a piece of himself and placed it in the hot rocks to add more steam as he relaxed in the back.
Wayne was panting heavily since he was a canine and had no sweat glands. "Yeah, I'm working up a nice sweat," he then said. "When's that Johnny kid gonna be done party planning? He's a great hang."
"Yeah, he's an animal," Frank added. "And it was so nice seeing Mavis laughing and hitting it off with him."
"Who's hitting what off?" Dracula scoffed in denial. "Please! Mavis could never be with... Someone of his kind."
Lionel winced audibly. "...That was the wrong thing to say..." he muttered.
Frank raised an eyebrow. "I'm sorry... 'His kind'?" he chuckled awkwardly before glaring. "Are you sayin' our kind's not good enough for you... 'Your Lordship'?"
"No, no, no!" Dracula covered up nervously. "Frank, I didn't... I meant that she wouldn't be into someone with... Uh... Such, red, curly hair."
"Hope Annie Warbucks won't be offended by that." Cherry muttered to herself.
"Uh... What's wrong with red, curly hair?" Griffin asked Dracula, sounding upset suddenly.
"Why are you getting upset?" Dracula asked the invisible man out of confusion.
"I have red, curly hair!" Griffin stated angrily.
"Well, how was I supposed to do that?!" Dracula retorted in a huff.
Meanwhile, back outside, Mavis and Johnny continued to watch the sunrise from a safe distance.
Mavis was very much amazed and awestruck as Johnny soon helped her move back as the sun kept getting closer and closer and he didn't want her to get hurt. "This is the most incredible thing I've ever seen." she said to him, gratefully.
Johnny then stepped back a little more before yelping as he suddenly fell right through the roof and ended up inside of the hotel, falling for his life again.
"Johnny?!" Mavis cried out in concern.
Meanwhile, Dracula smiled nervously as his friends began to look very unhappy with him. "Look, settle down, fellas. This is all a moot point. You see, Johnny... He left." he then told them as calmly as he could.
"Waitaminute, he left?" asked Murray.
"Yes!" Dracula lied, thinking Johnny had still left. "He decided he didn't like Mavis... Or any of us!"
Suddenly, Johnny crashed through the roof and landed in the sauna. "...Hi." he replied nervously, as Dracula glared.
"Huh," commented Frank. "Guess Johnny had second thoughts."
"Hey, Johnny... What's up?" Cherry asked the disguised mortal.
"Oh, you know, just... Uh... Thought I'd drop in..." Johnny smiled bashfully.
"As you do." Cherry then smirked before nodding as she sat back with Lionel.
"I will deal with him, you two just relax, you're my guests." Dracula told Cherry and Lionel before he decided to handle Johnny.
"Very well then," Cherry replied. "I think I have something to tell Lionel anyway... Once we're alone in our room of course."
"Alright." Lionel nodded, though he couldn't help but feel curious about it.
"So... You have curly red hair?" Cherry asked Griffin.
"Yeah... It's a mess right now... I can hardly do a thing with it." Griffin replied flatly.
"...Interesting," Cherry smirked before rolling her eyes. "I 'see' what you mean."
"That's 2 out of 3." Griffin muttered.
Cherry just smirked a little to herself.
LATER...
Dracula soon brought Johnny into a very big room with many tables, looking rather frustrated. He then saw that he was still in his towel and looked nervous before he poofed himself back into his cloak and suit before he ranted at the mortal in his hotel. "I can't believe you stuck around, man. You don't get it! Bad things are coming your way. I got to get my thoughts together!" he then firmly told Johnny before he groaned and held his head, feeling a bit exasperated. "Okay. You see these tables? You can spend the entire day pulling them out and placing them, party planner." he then commanded.
"Well, fantastic. I'm trapped here," Johnny groaned, feeling frustrated himself. "Now I know how your daughter feels."
There was a very loud scratching sound soon heard as Johnny was soon pushing the table across the floor in a creaky and annoying sound.
"Enough! Enough! Stop!" Dracula then complained. "Go to your corner, you're in a time-out!"
"Time-out?! I'm a grown man!" Johnny retorted.
Dracula then tossed Johnny away to a corner, forcing him to have a thumb in his mouth, and spun him around to face the wall and sit down before he went back to work. "Okay..." he then said before clapping his hands. "Table 57, please move to position 23."
The table soon grew a face, looking like a table that would come from Belle and Adam's castle before it flew in the air suddenly.
"Whoa! That. Is. Cool." Johnny beamed in amazement, though his thumb seemed to be stuck in his mouth.
"Face the wall," Dracula told Johnny as he then continued as the mortal explored the tables as they came to life and flew around. "17 to 48. 16 to 47. 19 to 50..."
"Awesomeness..." Johnny gushed.
"Just let me do my work!" Dracula demanded. "29 to 35... 42 to 18..." But this time, he didn't see Johnny scampering away.
Johnny counted quietly to himself as he got free and soon went over to one of the other tables as Dracula continued to do his work.
"36 up!" he then told the table he sat on top of as Dracula continued.
The table blinked with eyes before floating up and then looked confused at Johnny while levitating.
"Whoooa!" Johnny laughed as he enjoyed the ride so far.
"29 to 35," Dracula continued as Johnny was suddenly taken for a ride, prompting the vampire to turn around and glare before he commanded one table. "31 to 19."
The table then got up and rammed right up against the table holding up Johnny, knocking him down and sending him bouncing into other tables before he then finally fell on a different table.
Dracula smirked before he went back to work as Johnny glared before smirking.
"24 up!" Johnny then told the table he laid down on.
The table soon levitated with the other tables currently up in the air.
"Seven to 25. 14 to 30..." Dracula said before seeing as Johnny whooshed right past him and he suddenly grew wide-eyed, then he suddenly smirked darkly as he had an idea.
"Well, it would seem we've got a table race." commented Lionel.
"Lionel, could you say that again?" Cherry asked. "It sounded like you said there was a table race going on."
"I did." Lionel replied as he pointed it out to her.
Cherry took a look before she suddenly looked wide-eyed and surprised at what she just saw.
Johnny laughed as he looked around in amazement before he saw that Dracula was gone suddenly. "Where'd you go, Grandpa?" he then asked the vampire with an amused laugh.
"Don't freak out, Gravity Face." Dracula smirked as he dangled upside down in front of the mortal on a different table that hovered him differently.
"...Well, whatya know?" Cherry remarked about the table race.
At the most part, it looked like Dracula was finally having fun with Johnny as the tables joined them on their fun.
"Eat my dust, Gray Fangs!" Johnny laughed at the vampire behind him.
"56 and 43, to my side." Dracula smirked before two tables came up beside him to join in the race.
Johnny hooted and hollered as he took the lead so far. For a while, he seemed to be on his own, though he laughed with so much fun he was having as he swayed on the table before Dracula started to laugh as he was having fun too.
"Whoo! Prepare to cry, Billy Backpack!" Dracula called out as he reached out to grab Johnny.
Johnny nearly fell from his table before diving down and did a spin on the table like a skateboard trick as he got away easily. "That's how we do it! Half-pipe, baby!" he then cheered.
"What. Ever." Dracula smirked as he continued to ride on his own table.
MEANWHILE AT THAT VERY MOMENT...
A certain hunchback chef and his rat continued to sniff about the hotel premises to look for a certain scent they both caught. "Yes. Keep smelling," Quasimodo grinned at his rat eagerly. "You catch the human, and then I will make human potpie!"
The rat kept sniffing before coming over to the doors of the room Dracula and Johnny were in which made the hunchback grin even more once he realized that was where the smell was coming from.
"27, 45, 61, 76, 48, BLOCK HIS PATH!" Dracula ordered the tables.
Johnny's eyes widened as he saw the tables forming into a barrier. "Oh-ho!" he exclaimed, before he leapt off the table and jumped through the gap, before he ran across some tables.
"Oh, come on!" Dracula groaned.
Cherry smirked, a bit amused between Johnny and Dracula's little race. Johnny then ducked down on one table as Dracula was lunging out on another table, coming to the wall that was filled with tables, all of which looked very nervous and one was even praying for its life. Dracula soon laughed before he leaped off of his table and ran across the tables like Johnny before he ended up in the air and was now plummeting before Johnny whizzed in on a different table and caught the vampire before he would fall on the floor.
"I got you, buddy." Johnny smiled as he helped Dracula.
Soon, the table they were on flew right out of the room and came down the corridors of the hotel.
"Well, at least they're having fun now," Cherry said before looking at Lionel. "We should try that out sometime, next to maybe mattress surfing like they do in the second Princess Diaries movie."
"I wouldn't be opposed to that." Lionel grinned.
"Heh... We shall see then." Cherry decided with a small smirk.
Johnny and Dracula laughed as they continued to ride down the corridors, having a great time together so far.
"Do not disturb! People trying to sleep here!" One of the shrunken heads complained at them.
A witch was soon seen about to put away some folded towels before screaming and ducked down on the floor as Johnny and Dracula whizzed right over her head. Dracula and Johnny had a couple of the towels on their faces before they removed them and laughed and looked over in concern as it looked like they were going to crash into a passing by the suit of armor. Both screamed and held onto each other before they crashed into the suit of armor and it shattered into pieces on the floor.
"Did you see that? Who is that guy, Sir Breaks-a-lot?" Dracula laughed as he got up off of the floor and hugged the helmet on the floor as he looked very ecstatic over what had happened. "Oh, boy, I have to say, that was fun. Okay? The fun you were talking about earlier? Nailed it! ...Johnny?" he then grinned as he came over to a woozy-looking tablecloth until he removed it and saw the suit of armor's chest plate and Johnny seemed to had gone missing before he dashed down the hallway to look for the missing mortal. "Johnny?" he then continued to zip around until he ran into the familiar sight of his daughter. "Mavis? Why are you still up? The sun is out. It could kill you, my honeyguts." he then warned her.
"I couldn't sleep," Mavis confessed to her father before looking a little shy. "Do you know where Johnny went?"
"I don't know. He-" Dracula shrugged before looking suspicious. "Why do you want to know?"
"Oh! Uh..." Mavis stammered nervously.
"Do you like him?" Dracula then asked.
"What? Pfft, no. Come on, Dad," Mavis scoffed and rolled her eyes before looking bashful again. "He's so weird and awkward. It's like, are you an idiot or do you know you're adorable?"
Dracula gave her a look before seeing another suit of armor, then sped over to him. "Eh... Hold that thought." he then told her as he took off.
"So... Are we in love with someone, Mavis?" Cherry asked, approaching the vampire girl with a smirk.
"Or at least making a connection!" Lionel added.
"Who, me?" Mavis replied sheepishly. "Johnny's just a great friend!"
A sinister gleam flashed in Lionel's eyes. "...Strange, I never mentioned Johnny by name." he commented proudly.
"Uh... Well... That's his name, isn't it?" Mavis replied bashfully. "What else would I call him?"
"It's just something interesting to think about." Cherry smirked as she crossed her arms slightly.
"Whatever you're thinking, guys, it's not like that." Mavis insisted.
"Uh-huh, sure." Cherry replied rather sarcastically.
"Hmph... Don't you two have a honeymoon to enjoy?" Mavis pouted at them.
"What do you think we're doing?" Cherry replied. "But all joking aside, I really like this place a lot. Maybe we'll come back again another time."
"Yeah," nodded Lionel. "This is definitely NOT gonna be a one-time thing."
"So... You'll be back?" Mavis asked. "Dad would love that."
"I don't know when yet, but yeah, we'll come again some other time," Cherry said before smirking. "Maybe when you and Johnny tie the knot though."
"There's nothing between us, really." Mavis firmly pouted, though she did seem to be lying about that.
"Of course not." Lionel smiled dryly.
"Hmph." Mavis merely pouted at them.
Cherry then smirked and patted Mavis on the head before she and Lionel walked off. Mavis watched them go, though she did sigh a little to herself, looking deep in thought suddenly.
"Do you have a location on Quasimodo?" Dracula asked one of his knights in the corridor.
"Yes, sir," The knight replied. "They're heading through the lobby, towards the kitchen."
"I need them stopped immediately," Dracula commanded before asking, "Is that clear?"
"Yes, quite. We are on it." The knight promised him.
"And lo, the trouble grows." Lionel remarked as he shook his head.
"I can already smell a lot of chaos afoot." Cherry replied to him.
"I wouldn't expect anything less!" Lionel smirked proudly.
Quasimodo snuck along with Johnny in tow before he flinched and gasped, suddenly in the company with the other knights who began to surround him from all ends. The hunchback panicked a bit before running and avoiding their axes while keeping a hold of Johnny so that he wouldn't get hacked. "Haha! Missed!" he then taunted the knights as he kept escaping.
Johnny muffled and struggled at what he was seeing before Quasimodo was soon stopped at one open doorway as a couple of knights stopped him and crossed their axes so that he couldn't get away so easily.
"What is the meaning of this? Let me pass!" Quasimodo glared once he was blocked.
"Quasimodo Wilson, you are coming with us." One of the knights demanded.
"...Wilson?" Cherry blinked as she didn't expect that last name from the famous Hunchback of Notre Dame who was a cook in Hotel Transylvania.
Quasimodo then kicked one of the knights right in his "Round Tables", causing him to fall and grasp himself in discomfort.
"Why did that hurt me?" The knight complained as the hunchback dashed away freely.
Quasimodo did a bunch of crazy flips and jumps onto the chandelier, before he cackled evilly.
"Look, honey, there's no falling in love at your age," Dracula said as he pushed Mavis through the library.
"Mom was my age," Mavis interjected. "Also, Eunice says Mom kissed you first, because you were too scared to make the first move."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah," Dracula shrugged off as he rolled his eyes. "Forget about me and Mom and kissing."
"Dad, at some point, I'm going to get married," Mavis then told him. "I can't be here forever."
"What? Why not?" Dracula then said, still hesitant about her growing up which was typical between a father and his daughter. "You're barely out of your training fangs."
Meanwhile, several eyes lit up in the darkness.
"Go! Go! Go!" Cherry told the eyes before they flew right out of the darkness, revealing to be gargoyles to go after Quasimodo on the chandelier. "Such a shame The Manhattan Clan's not here," she then noted before crossing her arms. "They'd probably stop this guy dead in his tracks with what they've faced."
"Maybe, but they have that whole problem with turning to stone in the daytime." Lionel noted.
"Yeah, that's true." Cherry had to admit with a shrug as the gargoyles tried to attack Quasimodo.
Quasimodo then shifted all around with Johnny especially upon the rafters, avoiding spears at all costs. Esmeralda the rat then came on the hunchback chef's hat as a couple of spiders surrounded her before she slapped one with her tail, then bodyslammed the second, and then bit down on one, shaking it around in her mouth and sent it flying before grabbing the other spider with her tail and whammed it around before tossing it aside next.
Quasimodo then landed on the floor without a scratch and grinned before seeing that gargoyles were on one side of him with the knights on the other side. He then ran right into the knights before hopping up in the air and landed on the head of one before kicking its helmet off and the helmet went flying and hit one of the gargoyles in the face. He then continued to do the same with the other knights and their helmets before he made it to the other side with a victorious chortle. "Ha-ha! Quasi wins again! When you bump with the hump, you land on your rump!" he then taunted before taking off through the doorway as three gargoyles landed on the floor with the helmets blinding them.
"Dang it," Cherry groaned. "I definitely do not like that Quasimodo."
"Same here," Lionel replied. "Also...is it just me, or does he kinda sound like that Jay Sherman fellow?"
Cherry paused thoughtfully. "...Yeah, a bit," she then said. "I heard that guy tried to find fame again in the early 2000's on the internet with a new make-up lady named Jennifer."
"Whoof... That did not pan out," Lionel shook his head. "Personally, his old stuff was better."
"But why all the sudden interest?" Drac inquired, as Mavis stared at a bust on a pedestal. "Every time we used to talk about love, it was always, 'Eww, Dad, that's gross' and 'Eugh, Dad, I don't want to know about that'!"
Mavis sighed as she traced her finger over the bust's cheek. "I don't know," she replied.
Suddenly, the library doors burst open, and one of the suits of armor stood in the doorway. "Sir, he made it into the kitchen." he informed.
"He WHAT?!" Drac shouted. "What do I pay you for?" he turned back towards Mavis. "I'm sorry, honey. I-I have to go." he said sheepishly, as he slunk out the door.
The suit of armor ran after Dracula, but stopped and leaned back into the doorway. "He doesn't pay me." he whispered to Mavis.
Mavis just blinked in response. Dracula then went in to bat mode as he swarmed down the corridor to go see about the newest problem in his hotel, being as quick as he possibly could.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Quasimodo had Johnny on a splint and tied up while circling him over a fire to properly cook him as he looked very eager about what he was doing. "Before you kill me, can I please beg my backpack one more time?" he then asked the hunchbacked cook nervously. "I don't want to leave anything unresolved."
Suddenly, the doors slammed open and they were met with a certain company who looked furious.
"Bonjour, Monsieur Dracula!" Quasimodo greeted the man at the door innocently.
"Shut your hump hole." Dracula glared at him before zooming right over, then came to put Johnny behind his back and doused out the fire instantly.
"Now you are helping him?" Quasimodo complained. "What is it with you and this human?"
"He is not a human. He's a Stein!" Dracula retorted strongly.
"That's right, little man, I'm a Stein!" Johnny added rather smugly.
"If he is a monster, let him scare Esmeralda!" Quasimodo challenged.
The rat was shown to be sitting on a barrel in the middle of the kitchen.
"The mouse? Pfft!" Dracula then scoffed casually. "Without a doubt."
"Okay. Here we go," Johnny then said before he approached the rat and began to try to scare her, only for her to look as uninterested and deadpan as Cherry on a good day as he made faces, made his pupils leave the whites of his eyes, and even pulled back his lips to expose his teeth. "Blargh! Bleegh! Blargy-bliggy-blargh!"
Esmeralda then let out a simple squeak which then scared Johnny away from her.
"A human! A human! Monsieur Dracula has brought a human into the-" Quasimodo soon called out urgently before he was frozen in place and was sent in the middle of the floor.
"I have not seen much hysteria since we hosted the last Monster High School Reunion around here." Dracula mumbled before he left the kitchen with Johnny while Quasimodo was petrified.
One of the gargoyles from earlier walked into the kitchen, poked Quasimodo to see if he was really immobilized, then turned his pointed finger and shoved it up his left nostril before he left the kitchen.
"Hey, thanks for saving me back there," Johnny told Dracula. "That guy was crazy! Trying to eat me back there; that's only happened to me one other time, with this dude at a Slipknot concert..."
"There's something I need to show you." Dracula told him with a low groan of regret.
Johnny looked curious and soon followed Dracula as he opened the door and they soon came into another hidden room among Hotel Translyvania. The mortal boy then coughed a bit from the dust before looking over as Dracula approached the dark corner in the room with a portrait above of a certain woman and a forlorn-looking coffin that painted the room black with the melancholy deep inside the room's aura.
"Wow. Hey, are we at a funeral right now?" Johnny asked as he explored as he came to the coffin and rested his hands over it. "Oh, wait, no, it's your bed. So creepy and cool."
Dracula just glanced at him before he soon picked up a lit candelabra in the room and part of a portrait was shown of a vampiric woman, though the rest of the portrait was covered up.
"Wow! I know her!" Johnny said in excitement. "I've seen that picture at the ruins of Lubov. That's my favorite castle. There's a whole legend around that lady." he then explained.
"A legend?" Dracula asked in surprise.
"The Lady Lubov," Johnny explained as he told a legend that he knew about. "The story is that a lonely count met her by chance, and they say that no two souls were ever more meant for each other. Eventually, they settled down at Castle Lubov and had a child, but then, a horrible tragedy happened. A fire started mysteriously one night, and it killed both of them. When I was at the castle, I could still feel their powerful love. They say it's as if a soul is still trapped in the ruins themselves."
Dracula was not as thrilled as one would expect him to after hearing such a store. "The legend is wrong. It was only the wife that died," he then said before he threw down a black curtain by the portrait, showing Dracula was with the woman and they were lovers. "And it was no mystery who killed her. She was killed by your kind!" he then added as his eyes glowed dangerously blue.
A flashback soon began as an angry mob was outside of a castle and inside were Dracula and his wife and their baby girl.
"Vampire!" The angry mob called from outside.
"Honey?" Martha asked her husband in concern.
"Go hide. I'll take care of this. Dracula told her before he went to go take care of the problem.
On the other hand, much like Queen Athena eventually to King Triton when saving their daughters, the same fate would come to the lady vampire.
Suddenly, Atticus seemed to be shown and looked around while Cherry and Lionel were sitting around. "Another vision? Looks like I have to do something." he then said to himself.
"What?" Cherry asked before groaning at Atticus. "What are you doing?"
"I can teleport into flashbacks," Atticus explained. "Like that time we were going to Hawaii again to see Lilo and Stitch and I was gonna save Stitch so he could be recharged since the Dino Guards didn't let Jumba do it."
"Get out of my story!" Cherry complained before suddenly kicking him in the air and shaking her head. Though it was sad to find out what happened to Mavis' mother, sometimes things just happened for a reason and teleporting into flashbacks isn't always the best way to handle it.
Martha's scream was heard and Dracula came to help her, but he seemed to be too late.
"Martha!" Dracula soon called out and the castle was burnt down as and he carried his then-baby daughter in his arms as Atticus was flying in the air like a shooting star as the flashback soon ended.
"They are the real monsters," Dracula continued to explain to Johnny. "I built this place for my love, to protect her child. As a father, you do everything to keep your family safe, even if you have to break their trust, but now, Mavis has feelings for you."
"Dang... First Superman, then Batman... Now Dracula," Lionel commented. "How many people's mothers/wives are named 'Martha'?"
"I used to watch a cartoon about hippos where one of them was named Martha." Cherry commented.
"Was the other one called 'George'?" asked Lionel.
"Yeah...?" Cherry replied, surprised and touched that he knew as she nodded at him.
"Oh! I read those books sometimes!" Lionel replied.
"If I read the books I don't really remember them," Cherry replied. "I mean, I know they were books before a cartoon, but I know more about the cartoon. Doesn't help that Nathan Lane was one of the main characters."
"James Marshall did them," Lionel stated. "He also did the Miss Nelson books, as well as The Stupids, which inspired Dav Pilkey's Dumb Bunnies series."
"Heard about The Stupids, never got into it, I heard about a movie though." Cherry shrugged.
"What? I just... Awesome." Johnny soon said as he looked hopeful and excited about what Dracula said about Mavis liking him.
"It's all right. You are a good one," Dracula said softly then. "If the world was different, maybe it would be possible."
"Drac, this is the 21st century," Johnny replied calmly. "People aren't the same as they were back then."
"Can you tell me for certain that if we came out in the open, everyone would accept us?" Dracula then asked, still a bit unsure. "Everyone? Even my nephew has to be very careful with his friends in their own group."
Johnny hesitated before he had to admit that that was a good point. "...No. You're right. I'll go for good this time," he then said. "You can just say I had some emergency, or the gremlin lady ate me or something."
"No, no, no, no, no. I don't want to ruin her birthday party," Dracula then said as he put his hand on Johnny's shoulder, being comforting for once. "You can sneak out after it's all done."
"I'm sorry. The last thing I wanted was to hurt her," Johnny frowned as he turned away. "Or you."
"...You know, you're not the smoothest Frankenstein..." said Dracula, a small smile crawling onto his face. "...But you'd make a great vampire."
"For real?" asked Johnny. "'Cuz I think I kind of got your hypno-eyes down."
"Oh, boy, here we go," Dracula rolled his eyes playfully before he smiled. "Let me see it."
Johnny then went to a darker part of the room before coming into the light, shielding himself with a loose sleeve to act like a vampire. "Beware! For you are in my power!" he then called out to the actual vampire. "I command you to be the werewolf man!"
Dracula smirked as he decided to humor Johnny before doing a rather convincing howl before he narrowed his eyes. "I have too many kids."
Both Johnny and Dracula then laughed at that together before they walked off.
"Someone scratch me, I have fleas." Dracula then continued.
"'Cuz he's a wolf, he'd get those." Johnny then stated obviously.
"Yeah, no, don't explain it," Dracula chuckled as he patted the mortal on his back. "It's not funny when you do that."
"Well, at least they're bonding better together now," Cherry remarked. "I think all that's left now is to get ready for the party."
"Aye-aye," Lionel gave a salute. "I'm good to get ready if you are!"
"Come on then," Cherry said before they went to head back to their hotel room. "I have something I need to show you."
Lionel followed behind her as they headed back to their hotel room.
Cherry soon brought out their suitcases. "It might be formal dress, so we should wear something nice," she then suggested before taking out a droopy long-sleeved black dress with a short skirt that came with stockings and short black heeled shoes. "I borrowed this from Morticia from the last Addams Family Reunion."
Lionel's jaw hit the ground like a lead weight. "It's... It's beautiful!" he declared.
"Oh... Thanks," Cherry nodded. "The only problem is the zipper in the back, so if you wouldn't mind getting that for me... I'd appreciate it." she then advised.
"I'd be more than happy to do so." Lionel replied without hesitation.
"All right..." Cherry nodded. "I'll get it ready," she then went to use the bathroom real quick before she would get her dress on. She then took a look in the mirror and put her hand around her stomach as it had gotten a little bit bigger. "Okay... If I should tell him tonight... Give me a sign." she then told the full moon outside before she began to put her dress back on to hide her stomach away from Lionel before he would even notice anything different.
Lionel was just finishing up on getting himself dressed in a navy blue suit, and was now proceeding to channel surf to pass the time.
Cherry rubbed her stomach before she just nodded at herself and peeked out briefly. "Lionel? I need you!" she then called.
"Say my name and I magically appear!" Lionel exclaimed as he skittered over to the bathroom door. "What's the trouble?"
"Could you zip me up?" Cherry asked him as she turned her back to him and lifted her hair out of the way. "This is very frustrating."
"Can-do, amiga." Lionel replied as he reached up and got the zipper, before slowly pulling it up.
Cherry grunted before sighing in relief. "Thanks," she then told him. "Well, I suppose we better get going. I've heard Dracula mentioning other special guests coming to this party and not just Frank's son, Hank N. Stein."
"Most definitely," Lionel nodded. "Let's get down there and have ourselves a blast!"
"Come along then." Cherry replied.
Lionel soon linked his arm with Cherry's and they soon went to head down for tonight's party for Mavis' special day.
