Chapter 21: Will You Marry Me?
One month later, back in Hotel Transylvania, everything was busy as usual. Guests were checking in, zombies were handling the luggage, and Mavis was working in the lobby, with a little help from her relatives. Lydia, who's staff had been mended and her powers restored, ordered the zombies to stop slacking and keep working. Vlad made sure none of the guests forgot their belongings.
Tinkles roamed around the lobby, until he encountered the blob puppy. He curiously sniffed it and then barked at it. The blob puppy barked in response, and Tinkles ran away from it. In the corner, Andrei was severely speaking to Nick and Marilyn on their forging his daughter's marriage behind her back.
From the revolving door, the merpeople entered the lobby, walking on newly transformed legs, followed by Nixie and her mother Aquaria and her two sisters, Nerina and Delphina. Charles had his arm lovingly around Cordelia, as they passed through the revolving door together.
"So, what do you think of my home?" Luna asked.
"It's amazing!" Nixie awed, gazing at the ancient furniture and modern technology mixed together in one old castle. "You want to go for a swim in the pool later?"
"Sure, as soon as we get you settled in." Luna kindly offered, then she sighed, "But I just hope that after what happened, we'll never have to take another cruise again."
A fish man came with his luggage who booked a room after meeting the family on the cruise.
"Hi, checking in?" Mavis asked.
"Yes, thank you," the fish man said.
"Great! I have a room all ready for you." Mavis turned her back to get a room key for him.
Behind Mavis and the fish man, Dracula and Ericka snuck away to hide behind the pillars, and hurried toward the elevators. Mavis just noticed them and smirked at her parents.
"Hey, buddy, would you mind?" Murray asked Frank to help him open a bottle.
"Sure thing, pal." Frank used his new claws to open the lid of the bottle while he used his other claw to hold Gina in his arm.
"Hey guys, guess what?" Molly came up to them, holding up a full script of finished pages. "I finished my new book! This crazy vacation and the love drama was just what I needed to give to my fans!"
Suddenly, they noticed Dracula and Ericka sneaking into the open elevator. Molly, Murray and the Steins and the baby stein smiled, knowing what was coming.
Meanwhile, Eunuch and Danny had carried or dragged their luggage and hauled a cart of moving boxes to their new apartment, where Danny used his key to unlock the door, and the couple gasped in astonishment. Their living quarters was perfectly cleaned, refurbished, and ready for the two ex-monster hunters to move in (still the same bedroom from the HT game Wolf Pup Wrangle).
"Wow! It's amazing!" Eunuch gazed in wonder at her new apartment, having changed her outfit slightly with a white collared shirt replacing her captain's jacket.
"And it's all ours," Danny agreed, slyly wiggling his eyebrows, having replaced his captain's jacket with a red shirt with a high collar.
"Ours?" Eunuch looked at him puzzled, wondering why they had to share the same apartment.
To answer her, Danny said, "C'mere, c'mere!" as he quickly pushed his girlfriend out to the balcony, where a nicely lit table with two candles, plates, silverware, champagne bottle with two glasses, and the main course hidden under the lid awaited them.
"Oh, Danny ! It's beautiful!" Eunuch gasped, placing her hands upon her chest. She took her seat on the right, and Danny sat in his chair on the left.
"The Count was kindly enough to give us a special welcome to our new home dinner date," Danny explained, leaning his arm on the table. "And you did owe me a date for standing me up last month."
The two of them chuckled for a little bit.
"Okay. Okay, what's going on, sneaky pants?" Eunuch asked, deducing that Danny had planned this date for a special occasion.
"What are you talking about?" Danny slyly pretended that nothing was going on. "I just wanted to share a quiet dinner with my sweetheart."
"Oh, why? Are you going to suck my blood, blah, blah, blah?" Eunuch joked, imitating the classic Hollywood Dracula.
But Danny had a less than amused expression that would've made Dracula proud. "Just because I'm half vampire, doesn't mean I say that!" he grunted, then he took a deep breath. "But, since you figured it out... oh, I hope I get this right, it's my first time." And then, Danny got off his chair and down on one knee and held out a box. He opened the box to reveal a beautiful black spider-shaped ring with a red jewel at the center, even though it was actually a real spider.
Eunuch gasped in surprise.
Hesitating, Danny asked, "Eunuch Van Helsing, will you marry me?"
Eunuch didn't know what to say. She was only shocked when Danny asked her to marry him. Her lips twisted in curvy lines before she began speaking in gibberish, just like Dracula said to her the first time they met, and close enough to how Danny tried to speak to her back on the cruise, "I... I... woo bi-dee-ba-doo-bi?"
The spider ring didn't get it, and neither did Danny , repeating, "What does woo bi-dee-ba-doo-bi mean?"
Eunuch tried to speak again. "I mean, I woo be-doo-bi-dee?"
"You woo-be-doo-bi-dee?" Danny enticed.
The spider ring got tired of waiting, and so did Van Helsing and Charles having eavesdropped on their surprise proposal.
"JUST SAY YES ALREADY!" the two older men shouted impatiently.
"Uhh, koobieday?" Danny blubbered.
Eunuch looked at everyone in the room, and she knew they were expecting something good, but she remained in shock. Luckily, she pulled herself together and answered happily, "Yes!"
Danny was so happy, he cheered, "Yes!" in victory.
The spider ring squeaked joyously and sprang out of the bow to crawl on Ericka's finger to become her permanent ring.
The two families cheered happily and wished congratulations for the newly engaged couple. Standing back on their feet, Danny and Eunuch shared a romantic embrace, which suddenly changed when Eunuch lowered Danny in a dip and kissed him on the lips, mildly surprising him.
Elsewhere in the corridor, the elevator reached the thirteenth floor. Dracula peeked into the hallway, and Ericka sneaked closer behind him. Sneaking through an empty spare room, the couple went to a window and climbed out to the hotel's rooftop.
"Alright, why did you bring us out here, my handsome prince of darkness?" Ericka giggled, having changed her modern countess attire to the old fashioned vampire countess; her dress was still the gown she wore when she had become feral, except she decided to keep it and redo a few changes. The white gown resembled Martha's gown, her ruby necklace had a velvet white choker, and her white cape has inner indigo blue lining, as for her makeup she wore black lipstick, black nail polish and lined eyes.
"Oh, nothing," Dracula said bashfully. "It's just I wanted to make sure no one would bother us."
"Oh, wait! You're going to bite me again, aren't you? Was my neck really delicious?" Ericka asked, a hint of flirtation and hope lingered. "You know, I always wanted to say this since I became a vampire, blah, blah, blah! Is that why you brought me here? To hear me say it when no one is looking?"
It took all of Dracula's strength to remind her by saying he never said those three words, but he stayed calm, though he kind of didn't mind hearing her saying it now. He got down on one knee and held out a box. "No, I was going to ask if... you would marry me again," he said kindly, opening the box to reveal the golden ring with a blue jewel at the center, the very ring Ericka had thrown at him when they had broken up.
Feeling her heart speeding up, Ericka gasped in bewilderment.
"Well, what do you say?" Dracula asked hopefully. "Will you marry me?"
"Umm... I..." Ericka opened her mouth to say something, but she wasn't sure how to answer him. After everything they had been through together, should she be able to take him back. Her eyes shut tight, debating over what to tell him. "I don't know about this, Drac. After everything we've been through, I'm not sure if I want to-"
"What?" Dracula was confused.
"Eh, what I mean is... uh..." Ericka didn't want to hurt him, but she was afraid of hurting herself.
Dracula began to sweat, fearing she might say no. He thought she forgave him for breaking her heart, and the remaining romantic moments they shared on the cruise. But he remembered she said that she didn't trust him for betraying her, that stung him the most.
At that moment, everyone appeared on the roof: Mavis, Johnny, Luna,Dennis, Martha,Evan, Willie,Winnie, Tinkles, Andrei, Monica, Ericka's siblings, Mike, Linda, Johnny's siblings, Hank, Alex, Gina ,Billy, Cindy Pedro, Wendy, Vlad, Lydia, Frank, Eunice, Wayne, Wanda, the wolf pups, Murray, the female mummy, Kitsune, Griffin, Crystal, Blobby, baby blob, Bigfoot, Molly, Nosepicker, Nixie, Aquaria and Delphina. From the open windows behind both Dracula and Ericka , there stood Danny , Eunuch , Charles, Cordelia, Nick and Marilyn .
"What did she say?" everybody asked.
"I'm not sure," Dracula admitted.
Her bottom lip trembling, Ericka tried to consider what she wanted to tell him. She knew everyone present wanted to hear a great answer, but like Eunuch , she was in shock. Her eyes closed as she thought hard on her decision. She remembered his declaration of love to her, how he risked his life to stop her from making the mistake of setting monsters back hundreds of years, and his bite saved her life. Having come to her decision, she gave her answer, "Yes, I will!"
Dracula was so happy, his face lit up with enthusiasm. He tenderly puts the ring back on her finger where it belongs.
"No matter what happens, Drac, we'll be together forever and eternity!" Ericka knew this was finally true now that she was a vampire, but she will never forget her human roots.
"Forever and eternity, always, my darling," Dracula responded, affectionately.
Everyone cheered ecstatically for the newly engaged couple, or rather re-newly engaged couple. Dracula helped Ericka to her feet and they shared a romantic embrace with each other.
I see love
I see love around me
But then, Tinkles hopped beside them on the roof. Dracula, Ericka , Eunuch and Danny ran away from the massive puppy who chased after them. Then Charles appeared in front of the viewers, grinning.
"I'll see you around, folks," Charles said his goodbye to the audience. Then he pulls back the red screen back down for the credits to play.
THE END
A gremlin pulled down the red screen again to begin the ending credits.
Count Dracula is tapping away on his smartphone, wearing his white shorts, water goggles and flippers. He had a dreamy look in his eyes as he seemed to be texting his darling wife, Countess Ericka. Then he swims by, casually minding his own business, this time wearing the rest of his diving gear.
From a river to a flood
I see love around me (love around me)
A little later, Dracula and Ericka are inside separate bubbles, sending texting messages to each other. However, they noticed they were being watched and they both jumped out of the bubbles.
I love you, helped me find my heart
I didn't even know my name
Then I was blinded by the dark
My eyes will never look the same
It turned out the person spying on them was Captain Eunuch Van Helsing and Chief Officer Danny Parker, whom had evil smirks on their faces as they ran off from a gremlin trying to chomp at her telescope. Changing her telescope into her fish submarine, Eunuch jumped inside and took a surprised Daniel with her as they sped off.
Come on, let's run and get lost in the crowd
Into the light as the night's coming down
I'm double-tapping, I'm focusing now
We're focusing now
A happy-go-lucky Dracula floated in view, before his eyes began glowing as he summoned the name Adam Sandler to come over, but a giant letter A landed on his head, much to his frustration. Below him, the name Kathryn Hahn appeared beneath his actor's name as Ericka chuckled amusingly. Transforming into a bat, Dracula flew away, and Ericka transformed into a bat to go after him.
I see love
I see love around me
From a river to a flood
A gremlin rolled a bowling ball toward the actors' names, leaping for joy at a strike. But he looked up and noticed something was about to come crashing down on him. He got out of the way in time. Johnny, who was at his DJ, and Mavis were lounging peacefully on top of their actors' names, Andy Samberg and Selena Gomez. They noticed the music had cut short by a troublesome gremlin. In bat form, Mavis gave the gremlin a good scare to teach him a lesson as he ran off. Johnny gave his wife a thumbs-up while Mavis put the plug back in to resume the present song playing.
From a river to a flood
I see love around me (love around me)
They were walking along with Gina in a stroller and she said her first names Kevin James, Sunny Sandler and Fran Drescher Gina said her words mama and dada as Frank and Eunice walked hand in hand.
Come on, let's run and get lost in the crowd
Into the light as the night's coming down

The names Steve Buscemi and Molly Shannon come next as Wayne and Wanda are dancing together, until their wolf pups come rolling in, tangling up their parents together. Suddenly, the gremlins turned on a giant vacuum to suck in the words until it exploded. Just then, Murray and Griffin come jumping in whilst passing by, but the mummy's wrapping came loose and left behind a trail as Murray got skinner by the second, none the wiser. Griffin came back to get it, but he tripped, his glasses lenses come up with the names David Spade and Keegan-Michael Key inside. Turning his glasses upside down, they reflected an old fashioned plane flying over him.
I see love
I see love around me
From a river to a flood
I see love around me (love around me)
Riding the plane and piloting it was none other than Eunuch , her cousin James Van Helsing-Quinston, and their great-grandfather Abraham Van Helsing. The plane dispatched a flag out for all to see with the names Jim Gaffigan, Luke Evans and Drew Barrymore imprinted on the flag.
I see love
I see love
From a river to a flood
I see love around me
I see love
Meanwhile, Tinkles appeared and rolled his incredibly long tongue out like a rug. Dennis, baby Diavolo and Stan the fish man popped up, standing beneath their actors' names Asher Blinkoff, Eli Fucile and Chris Parnell. Stan stood casually wiping his fins off of the dog slobber, while Dennis and Diavolo gazed up at the names in wonder. However, Tinkles rolled them and his tongue back into his mouth, although he was caught in a bigger tongue and into the mouth of the Kraken, who was forced to spit them out by an irritated Nessie the loch ness monster. Belching Tinkles and the others out of his mouth, the Kraken shrugged casually as Crystal the invisible woman came floating by in a bubble. Their actors' names Joe Jonas and Chrissy Teigen hovered above the Kraken and Crystal.
No, I can't be patient
Pulling up in this spaceship
Don't need no destination, baby come on
Just then, a door opens and Vlad steps out wearing his swimming trunks. He steps out of the way as the name Mel Brooks bounces out of the door. Relieved, Vlad leans against the open door. But the gremlins painted multiple lines of dark green paint over the screen, shocking Vlad. But the paint lines collapse, thank goodness.
Uh, don't need to complicate this
We're lifting off of this pavement
I'll take you to that place where we can vibe on
Racing across the deck came an excitable Luna and Evan, wearing their swim trunks. Poor Evan lost his footing and fell, then he started to cry. Luckily, came back to give him a kindly helping hand to get him back on his feet. As the pair smiled shyly at one another, the names August Maturo and McKenna Grace appear above them. Once Evan felt better, he and Luna noticed Danny had captured Nixie, attempting to capture in a fisher's net, as the name Mia Talerico is above Nixie's head. The two kids combine their powers to give him the shock of a lifetime to save the little mermaid.
There ain't nothing but a slow ride
So come on, let's catch some more vibes
Baby, let me get by your side
And hold on
Daniel cries out in pain as he holds his bottom, smoking from the painful electric shock he received. The mermaids chortled at his humiliation, much to Danny's irritation. The name James McAvoy jumps in to stop right above his head. Angered, Danny tries to shoot them with tranquilizer darts, forcing the mermaids to retreat to the ocean.
Wanna float away with you
Wanna float away with you
Nothing else I'd rather do
Wanna float away with you
Molly and her husband are calmly sharing a romantic moment together at dinner, clinking their drinks together and take a sip of their coconut beverages. Megan Hilty appears above them, as soon as Tinkles rushed by to chase a skeleton family for their bones, knocking them into the pool, much to their annoyance. In the crowd of monsters, including Mike and Linda have joined Andrei and Monica during a romantic Hawaiian dance, similar to how Ericka and Danny danced on the abandoned island restaurant. This time, four names hover above the two couples Nick Offerman, Megan Mullally, Josh Dallas and Ginnifer Goodwin in the stars.
Sun over that ocean
Sipping on that potion
Don't matter where we roll in, baby come on
Not far from here, Charles is dancing delightfully with the older mermaid Cordelia, who changed her tail to legs. The name Tom Wilkinson appears out of nowhere closer to him. The other monster human couples join them, and they are having quite the time of their lives.
Your love prescription
Has getting me so lifted
About to take this trip where we can vibe on
The ghosts of Quincy Parker, Celia Fortner and Leon Van Helsing loomed high above in the sky, a hard look in their eyes as they stared down at his enemies or rolled their eyes in disgust. But another ghost flies up in their faces, startling them and frightening off Celia and Leon. It was Quincy's mother, Mina Parker, frowning at him like any mother does when her child disobeys her. Their actors' names Ben Kingsley, Winona Ryder, Barbara Hershey and Hugh Jackson float over their heads. Nevertheless, Mina kindly extends her hand out for her son to take. Quincy does take her hand, and flies away to join her in heaven together.
There ain't nothing but a slow ride
So come on, let's catch some more vibes
Baby let me get by your side
And hold on
The gremlins are fishing and reel in a piece of the credits, but they sort of pull in Van Helsing playing the DJ organ as bubbles erupt from the machine. Another green submarine appears, this one piloted by the gremlins due to its obvious signature on the flag and submarine. As it disappears, a film reel comes in and it is cut by the gremlins using a scissors. Suddenly, they heard an unwanted presence and swam off.
Wanna float away with you
Wanna float away with you
Nothing else I'd rather do
Wanna float away with you
It was Eunuch inside her fish submarine and she had her eye on a moon-bathing Dracula, shirtless except in a black and red-bat swim trunks and relaxing. A dark shadow falls over him, waking Dracula as he looks up. There was Van Helsing and James in their dirigible, a very old fashioned kind, blocking his moon's light. Suddenly an arrow is shot out of nowhere and hits the dirigible, popping it like a balloon as it deflates and flies off. A gremlin had shot the airship down with a bow and arrow, but he got hit and was blow away by the deflating airship.
Away, yeah
Away, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Now alone, Eunuch prepared to gain her chance of killing the vampire for good, but when Ericka in her blue and white bikini swam buy in her scuba gear, she bumped the fish submarine. Startled, Ericka looked back and was surprised to see Eunuch and a group of mermaids floating behind her, arms folded and looking very cross. Removing her mask, Ericka released a bone-chilling roar (a reference to Dracula roaring at the zombie bellhops during the end credits of the first movie), later joined by the hissing mermaids. Her roar frightened the Captain so much that Eunuch controlled the submarine to make her getaway. High fiving with the mermaids, Ericka left to go find her family and the mermaids swam off.

The Legacy appears as it calmly glides across the ocean's surface, however it sinks thanks to those naughty gremlins. Thankfully, the Kraken used his head to block the gaping hole in the ship to prevent the water from filling up the ship. Back on the ship's deck, two zombie bellhops carry two trays of credits as disguised gremlins escort Blobby across the deck, purposely allowing Blobby to leave behind a gooey trail, causing the zombies to trip and the trays thrown out of their hands.
There ain't nothing but a slow ride

In his red swim trunks, Danny avoids the crashing trays as he casually strolls toward the pool. As Dracula relaxed on the lounge chair by the pool, Murray suddenly leapt into the pool, creating a huge splash. When it is all clear, Ericka found herself in Dracula's lap, much to both of their surprise. Next to them, Danny was stunned to find a confused Eunuch in his arms, now that she's wearing a strapless two-piece white swimsuit and sunglasses.
Wanna float away with you
Wanna float away with you (hey, float away, float away)
Nothin' else I'd rather do (yeah, yeah)
After being caught by Danny , it didn't matter to her anymore, as Eunuch started to give her zing flirtatious look and Danny returned it, doing the same with a sly seductive smirk as she pulled them closer to each other's faces, but they decided to go someplace private so not to be disturbed especially when they realized what was going on nearby. While that was happening, Ericka was in Dracula's lap and she also gave her husband a gentle romantic smile which made Dracula spread a goofy grin across his face. Then Ericka gave him a big kiss on his cheek with her black lips, which made Dracula look even goofier.
Wanna float away with you
Wanna float away with you (float, float, float, float, float, float!)
Realizing they were being watched and feeling embarrassed as the audience started to notice that Ericka was getting too involved in her kiss to Dracula as she made his way to his lips, so Ericka decided that they would give them privacy, smiling shyly, as she pulled down the black screen to end the song and begin the longer ending credits.
