Chapter 17 : You can't deny a zing

Eunuch came back with a frown on her face but the others were glad to see her because now we have a final thing they need to destroy the monster's family once and for all.

Abraham: Ha! You got it!

Eunuch: Yes.

Abraham: Now that we have the instrument of destruction, our family legacy will be fulfilled.

Kitty,Quincy,James: Hooray

Quincy: But first, we'll draw them in with a dance party!

Kitty: I love to dance.

Four villains danced while Eunuch looked out the window of the boat.

The monsters boarded the ship after their night in Atlantis. They were preparing for a big party.

"Frank, can you zip me up? We're gonna be late." Eunice asked Frank to zip up her dress. She turned to see Frank… with lobster claws that he had attached to his body in place of his missing arms! "Where did you get those?" Eunice asked, startled.

Frank stammered. He couldn't tell his wife he was gambling, despite of her warning, Uh, see… I guess… I-I-I-I lost my hands… Not gambling! I got these from the seafood buffet. Look at this." For fun, he made clickity-clackety sounds with them. "I kinda like them. I like them."

"I think those look good on you, dad." Hank complimented, "I have those too because I lost my hands."

"Really you too , Hank." His mother said .

Alex: Mom I can't wait for the party.

Evan: Mom where is Luna?

Eunice handed Gina to Frank while she fix Evan's bowtie she had to kneeled down to her to his level.

Eunice: I'm sure her mother is getting her ready for the party dear.

When the monsters arrived at the party, through Atlantis, they wore light rings around their heads, necks, ears, arms, wrists, and hands. They walked through a water tunnel, where the angler fishes guided them with their lights to the party.

"Let's get this party started right!" Murray shouted.

As everyone ran to the party, they ended up on a balcony overlooking the ocean at the lower back side of the island of Atlantis.

"I thought they said the party was this way." Eunice said, wondering where they'd made a wrong turn.

All the monsters had gone to the same place. It was clear that the party wasn't ready yet, and they began to grumble, confused about where they were supposed to go.

Suddenly, a muffled beat was heard.

Everyone heard a deep, muffled beat coming from underwater, and lights started to flicker. A huge dance floor rose from the ocean, complete with a DJ playing party music from a clamshell DJ booth! Then a bridge rose up that connected the balcony and the dance floor, and the monsters rushed over it and started to dance.

Johnny: DJ in a clamshell?

Johnny: I'm so jealous.

Drac stood in the center of the dance floor, dancing by himself sadly, as happy monsters moved and grooved to the music around him. He didn't know that Mavis and Ericka were watching him, unsure what to do about the news that he had zinged with someone other than Martha. They barely paid attention to Johnny, Dennis, , Martha, Luna, Evan,Willie,Winnie, Alex, Hank, Billy, Cindy who were dancing next to them.

"I can't believe Drac zinged with someone who's trying to kill him," Ericka said.

Johnny:Yeah, the Zing makes you do crazy things.

Mavis: Really, Johnny?

Ericka: Yeah

What's most important to understand is that love is an infinite enigma that is beyond our understanding.

Johnny: You, and your mother and father and I were two halves, a world apart.

Johnny: But then we followed the strands of destiny and were brought together.

Johnny: And our halves made one whole.

Mavis: But what if she and he...

Johnny:You must release all the negativity and look within.

Johnny: Your bond is unbreakable.

Mavis: You're right, honey. Wow.

Ericka: Let's go

Mavis, Ericka: Thanks.

"Yeah, Johnny. Thanks." Ericka added, following Mavis to talk to Drac as well.

Dennis, Martha impressed. "Whoa, you sounded pretty smart, Dad."

Johnny smiled, "Oh, that? It was the philosophy of Sifu Sing from my favorite TV show when I was a kid, Kung Fu Shaolin Monk Master. Anyway, let's get back to dancin'"

"Cool!" Dennis said.

He, Winnie, and monster kids continued to dance

Mavis walked up to Drac. "Dad, you have to talk to Eunuch."

"What?" He asked.

"I know. I know what I said before, but maybe Ericka and I overreacted a teeeeeeeensy bit."

"It's just the thought of losing you." Ericka added with a sad look on her face.

"What? What are you talking about, losing, me?" Drac asked.

"Well, remember with Mavis' case when she had Dennis and Martha and Ericka' case when she had Luna ?" Ericka eminded, blurting out what she had been thinking ever since she and Mavis learned about Drac and Eunuch, and made a reflection about this, "They wanted to move out of the hotel for Dennis, Martha, Luna' safety before they became vampires . We were afraid that you might do the same if you're with Eunuch."

Mavis was thinking the same, "Yeah, and, obviously, after you get married, you're gonna live on the ship and travel around the world—"

Dracula butted in. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down, Mavis, Ericka! There are two things I can promise you. One: Nothing can ever take me from you and all my family. Two: I will never live on a boat."

Drac gave her a big hug. The same hug he gave to Mavis. "You're like my daughter to me,Ericka ," Drac told her, holding her tight like a little girl. "How could've I miss that the first time we met?"

Ericka hugged, then broke it between her and Drac. "Now, seriously, go talk to her." She said.

"I can't," Drac replied sadly. "You heard what she said. She could never be with someone like me."

"No, Dad. You're just a half, and you have to follow your destiny to find an infinite whole," Mavis said. It had sounded so good when Johnny had said it, but Drac just looked confused.

"You sound like Johnny," he said.

"The point here is, Drac, you can't deny a zing. Just like I never deny you as my first zing, and you and Vlad as my second and third zing." Ericka explained, "Even though I still chose and loved my first one, I still remained friends with you, and never leave you."

"Exactly, Dad. Like what she said, you can't or never deny a zing," Mavis told him, now trying to explain it in her own way. Human, monster, unicorn, it doesn't matter. So go to her. Now!"

Drac was blown away at how amazing his daughters and wife had turned out. "Okay, I'm on it," Drac said, and then hurried away to find Eunuch.
