MVV (Most Valued Vampire)
We now see the Hotel Transylvania party heading toward the exit of their hotel and walking toward a shuttle that'll take them to the Los Angeles International Airport for their charter flight to Houston, Texas. Outside the Marina del Rey Marriott, the sky was mostly cloudy with the sun peeking through at certain times. This was good news for Mavis and Dracula, since they can walk outside without the need for protective clothing (or that silly sombrero in Dracula's case). Things outside were not quiet though, aside from the usual noise of regular everyday traffic. Due to various social media sites like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter; the news of Mavis single handedly bringing down Bigtop Bill spread like wildfire throughout the state of California as well as the entire US. This, consequentially, lead to the formation of a huge crowd outside in the parking lot and more people were coming over by the minute.
Upon seeing the huge crowd, the govt. representative stopped the Hotel Transylvania party close by the exit and had a small briefing with them.
"Okay guys. Apparently, we weren't expecting this today so…we're gonna have to wait in here for a bit." He told the group. "Your ride will be here momentarily."
"Man! Look at all these humans." Murray exclaimed while observing the large crowd in shock.
"There's like 1000 of them out there; what are we gonna do?" Griffin asked.
"We're waiting here until our ride to LAX arrives." The govt. representative replies. "We cannot chance Mavis here getting kidnapped again."
"That's the last thing I want to happen to my Mavy Wavy." Dracula said with a face of worry while hugging his daughter at the same time.
This little episode grabbed the attention of the other members of the party as well as the attention of surrounding bystanders inside the hotel. After realizing this, Dracula let go of Mavis and promptly excused himself. After that, the bystanders inside the hotel resumed their normal activities.
"Okay…now that we got that out of the way." The govt. representative said while trying to forget what just happened. "I just got word that apparently, our ride is literally stuck in the enormous crowd outside and it can't move towards us."
This caused the Hotel Transylvania party to stare at the huge crowd in shock. Not only have they never seen a crowd this big…well…save for the time during Mavis' 118th birthday party as well as the monster festival back in Transylvania…but it seemed preposterous to them that an entire wave of humans could stop a car dead in its tracks with no means of turning back.
"I think I know another way we can get to the airport from here." Johnny spoke up.
"Please tell us if you may." The govt. representative replied while the rest of the party leaned in for a listen.
"Why don't we all travel in the car Mavis got recently?" Johnny asked while slightly bumping Mavis' left arm.
"Uhh…there's two problems with that Johnny." Mavis admitted while slightly blushing.
"What are they?" He asked.
"The first one is that it can only fit 2 of us comfortably." Mavis replied.
"Wait…can't a Ford Mustang typically seat 4 people?" A random bystander called out across the lobby.
"It could…unless you guys are willing to lose a lot of space." Mavis answered while also facing the rest of the party.
The thought of everybody crammed into the backseat was clearly not a pleasant one, especially for Wayne, Murray, and Frank. The vehicle Mavis drove was clearly intended for 2 people only and exceeding the capacity would be lethal for the entire party.
"Also, didn't that Mustang you drove got totaled as well?" The govt. representative asked.
"Yeah…I was going to bring that up as well." The vampiress replied.
Mavis began to recall the moments during the epic car chase involving herself, Bigtop Bill, and her dad and relatives that took place on the streets of Hollywood. She also remembered that she had to destroy Bigtop Bill's car by slamming hers directly into the side, thus leading to her car getting smashed up in the front. Basically, by the time the chase ceased and Bigtop Bill was caught, her car was shot, totaled, done.
"Okay then…" Johnny said after remembering that day. "With Mavis' car trashed, how else can we get the airport?"
"Without our ride, there's basically nothing else as long this crowd is outside." The govt. representative declared.
"Wait…I think I know the solution to this problem." Griffin pointed out.
"What might that be?" The govt. representative asked.
"Why don't we just walk out there toward the ride?" Griffin asked.
"Hmm…that could work." The govt. representative replied. "However, I and Mr. Dracula obviously, are extremely concerned for the safety and security of Mavis; especially for a crowd that large."
"Guys, I don't think anything will happen to me this time. Besides, it's broad daylight." Mavis tried to reassure everybody.
"And apparently, that didn't stop Bigtop Bill from kidnapping you in the first place." The govt. representative said. "Kidnappers these days try to separate their victims from everybody else; so that's why I brought along some friends today to ensure your security and well-being."
Upon hearing this, Dracula immediately became suspicious.
"Hold on a second pal, who are these 'friends'?" The vampire asked with a bit of anger in his tone.
"No one dangerous; I can assure you that." The govt. representative replied.
After saying that, he turned around toward the corridor and then made a 'come forward' gesture. After a brief moment, three giant men in tuxedoes and shades emerged and approached the young, female vampiress.
"Are you Mavis Dracula?" One of them asked with a monotone voice.
"Y-yes. Wh-who are you guys?" Mavis asked with worry.
"United States Secret Service." The same gentleman replied while he and the other two presented their badges of authority.
"The Secret What?" Dracula asked in disbelief.
"Mr. Dracula, these gentlemen are with the Secret Service." The govt. representative said. "I've requested their assistance today to make sure that Ms. Mavis here, or our P.O.I, is safe and secure until we get to Houston."
"What in the world is a P.O.I?" Dracula, who is still in disbelief, asked.
"Person of interest". A secret service agent replied.
"This is all very confusing." Dracula admitted while rubbing his forehead.
"Anyway, we must be on our way." The govt. representative declared while pointing to the door.
Upon hearing this, Mavis and her unexpected bodyguards began walking toward the front door while the rest of the Hotel Transylvania party followed behind. When she opened the door, the first thing she was greeted with were the sounds of applause and whistling from the huge crowd that were awaiting the vampiress' appearance. To Mavis, this'd be her first time dealing with a huge crowd of humans like this since the time she got ambushed by the reporters at LAX.
"Oh um…hi humans." Mavis said nervously while waving to the crowd in front of her.
The crowd kept on cheering and applauding. Everybody was eager to lay their eyes on and get to know the female vampiress that managed to bring a dangerous criminal to justice.
"Please step aside folks". A secret service agent declared while clearing a path for Mavis and the rest of the party.
After receiving the go-ahead, Mavis proceeded through the path while her father, her boyfriend, and the others followed close behind. Even though the Secret Service have cleared a path for the Hotel Transylvania party, it took them a good 10 minutes to navigate it. Also, the party got held up a bit near the end because somebody tried to reach for Mavis to get an autograph and the Secret Service basically gave that person a 'proper chat'. After all that was done, there sat the ride that'll transport the characters back to Los Angeles Intl. Airport. It wasn't your typical everyday limousine; oh no. It's actually one of the limousines that the president uses every day.
"No way…" Johnny said while admiring the vehicle. "Now THIS is freaking awesome!"
"This is the ultimate vehicle in terms of security and comfort." The govt. representative declared with confidence. "Due to obvious reasons, I cannot disclose much more about it."
"Have to admit, that is a nice ride!" Murray exclaimed.
While most of the party admired and praised the limousine, Frank was kind of concerned. The main reason being was that considering the size of the vehicle and the size of himself in terms of height…well…you can do the math.
Anyway, one of the Secret Service agents opened the door and the Hotel Transylvania party all piled into the limo without wasting time, mainly because to avoid the monstrous human fan crowd as well as for Dracula and Mavis to avoid the sunlight. Even though it was mostly cloudy today, the two vampires didn't want to take any chances once so ever. Also, they managed to find a way to fit Frank into the Limo; all they had to do was just put him in piece by piece. After shutting the limo's door, their worries weren't over yet as the ginormous crowd somehow advanced themselves and pressed onto the windows. This startled everybody in the party, especially Mavis and Frank.
"Let's get out of here before things get ugly!" Johnny exclaimed as he looked through the window.
Everybody desperately nodded in agreement and the govt. representative then told the limo driver to step on it and get the heck out of here. Immediately, the limousine took off and then turned onto the main roads of Los Angeles on course for LAX.
"Wait…aren't we forgetting somebody?" Griffin asked while scoping out the party.
"Yeah, what happened to that space lady that was with us earlier?" Wayne asked.
"The Virgin Galactic representative? She has her own ride." The govt. representative declared. "And she'll meet us at the airport."
Upon being reassured, and being relieved to be away from the huge crowd, the Hotel Transylvania party settled into their seats in the limo for the short journey back to Los Angeles Intl. Airport.
