A commotion in the hotel's lobby took place when Hazelcape was walking her supposed cat for the evening before a meeting with Dracula's family. Before she and her kitten could get out the hotel's front door all by themselves. Dennis and Winnie were chasing a giant puppy dog with black fur, wide eyes with big pupils and wears a red collar. His tongue was leaving behind a huge trail of drool as he ran around the lobby licking and tackling people. One person that he stopped and had to look upon was casually dressed Hazelcape and her kitten. Just the kitten was size of a lion cub and had two small large fangs protruding from either side of small mouth. Wore a blue harness with a metallic ID tag instead of a red collar as a leach attached this kitten to Hazelcape.
"What adorable trouble maker." She looked upon the poppy and then noticed the children. "Do you have a name?"
"He's name is Tickles." Dennis answered her from behind his puppy.
"I am Heather Casewell- Wales and this my saber tooth kitten Halcyon." She drew attention to what attracted Tickles.
Both Winnie and Dennis would end up being allowed to stroke the kitten's soft fur after a strange noise called purring happen. Hazelcape in turn would end up reaching out for acknowledgment from Tickles to lay upon his cute wet nose. Left all three of them to pat other's pet for the next few minutes before Tickles started sniffing Hazelcape below her waist. Poking and probing creasing of her houndstooth dress for where ever the strange smell was coming from. Which led to the puppy backing off when Hazelcape started laughing from having her sides tickled by the puppy's nose.
"You alright Miss. Hazelcape?" Dennis asked worried his dog hurt her.
"I am fine." She answered calming down. "I just really sensitive to wet noses."
She would reach into hidden pocket of her dress and pull out chucks of jerky inn brown paper she carried around for her kitten. She would offer to the kids and Tickles as a form of a snack for them all while asking why they were out here. What she got was hesitance from both children since Dennis broke his mother's rule about letting the puppy out their room. Telling someone Winnie and he did so would certainly learn to another lecture about what he been doing. Which had Hazelcape winking at Dennis and Winnie stating she wouldn't tell his grandfather or mom about this escape. He and his friend could join her and her kitten on their walk outside the hotel to talk in the light of the moon. Which excited the two of them and had them running off with Tickles following to ask their parents for permission to walk with her.
Leaving Hazelcape to seek a place to seat and wait while her kitten would curls up at her feet as they wait for the children to return. Gave Papa Drac a chance to notice her and the animal that was with her when he making his rounds. Over to her and this kitten he some how ended while putting on his best smile when he looked down at the little fur ball. He was assured when by the two small large fangs protruding from the cub's mouth before he was told this was her pet. She was waiting for his grandson and his friend to come join her on her walk for her kitten in a few minutes. Which some ended up with Papa Drac asking if he could come along with the three of them as he kept staring at the kitten.
"I take it your not a cat person?" She teased Dracula.
"I am opened to negotiation." Dracula switched his gaze from kitten to what she sat on.
Hazelcape would move over to make room for him saying she was getting a little lonely sitting here by her self and a handsome vampire was great company. Made a blush form on pale cheeks of the man not sitting a few inches from her. Quite taken with the outfit she was wearing for the day since his eyes moved every few minutes to peer at her. Her taste in black clothing was quite fashionable from rounded toed heeled pumps she wore on her stocking clad feet. To long sleeves of her cotton blouse with layered neckline worn under her paid pattern, houndstooh dress with belt. Way her hair was updo into a twisted series of a single bun just below her back of her head. He would soon get a better view when she leaned side wards to rest her head on one of his broad shoulder with content sigh escaping her lips.
"I got dress this morning in hopes you would notice my outfit." She avoided her eyes from his. "I wanted to look at impressive as you are right now."
He ended up touched by her words to the point he would use one of his hands to gently touch the side of her face on his shoulder. His nails barely touched the planes of her cheek as he spoke soft enough for her only her to hear his words of praise. Stating she has a gemstone in the rough type of beauty that shines when needed and only for those she adored. Her her breath and voice caught in her throat when she noticed just had close their faces were when she looked upon him.
"Would you join me later in the ballroom for a dance?" Dracula asked taking her facial features.
"As long you show up as your self." She leaned forward.
Warm sensation just next to his lips from her lips on his icy blue and cold skin made his heart beat faster within his chest. Before she would pull away and the sounds of feet belonging to his grandson and his friend with Tickles following. Would be a relaxing stroll through the woods surrounding the hotel for Winnie, Dennis, Dracula and Hazelcape. A small Kitten and a giant puppy leading down a trail to take in the light coming through the tops of the trees.

Johnathan and Dracula came to an agreement about doing a weekly event that kept the elegance of the hotel's old day with modern culture. A form of social event for both humans and monsters would be held within the ball room area. One could come in a form of semi-formal or semi-classical attire to this event to find a someone to dance around with. Melancholy music was either played by Johnathan using his DJ gear, Day of the Dead Mariachi Band, or The Phantom of the Opera. Which Heather and Jarlath would end up attending with one extra following between them. Heather allowed her to wear one of her outfits with a basic shawl wrapped around most of her upper torso.
"Nervous?" Jarlath asked his daughter.
"I feel like I have butterflies in my stomach while I feel under dressed." Hazelcape held onto his arm.
He could only pat her hand and would allow her to leave, assuring her Mr. Dracula would understand the reasons she didn't want to show up. Which left her hug her father's arm just when they entered the ballroom and Heather left them. Hazelcape took a deep breath and felt her father squeeze her hand before she walked away from him to look around. She would end up losing her head when she heard a Transylvanian accent greeting her to close for her own good.
"Never knew I had this effect on woman." Dracula was careful in handing her head back to her body.
"More like its a ingrained habit I have when I meet handsome man." She took her time in place her head back on.
Dracula could swear he had his breath taken away from just watching Hazelcape reattached her head when he tried to talk. Leaving him to stand there with his hands stretched out forgetting about asking her one to the dance floor when music began. Which she would end up taking forcefully swallowing her fear and nervousness to face him with a smile on her face.
"May we?" She asked quietly as she awaited an answer.

One of lucky monsters that were on the dance floor was a semi- formal dressed Hazelcape being guided by Dracula one step at a time. Seems the pair headed for apart of the dance floor with less of a crowd with Dracula coming to face her. Standing a shoulder distance away from her with his feet hip distance apart upon facing her. Being careful in placing his right hand on her left shoulder blade since he was going to be the led. Wrapping his left hand around her right hand, his your elbow up at shoulder height. She in turn would put her left hand on his shoulder for what was to come. His right hand would wrap in the lead's left hand as he made sure his elbow was up at shoulder height. When the music began for everyone, Dracula didn't have to lead her into a forward step, she seemed to move with him. She was reacting in tune with his lead, her left foot moves forward and ending with her right foot placed next to her left foot. Slight slightly bent she had as she raised on her toes as she lifts her feet to land softly on the ball of her foot. Told Dracula she was trying to keep her feet low to the ground as they started to move from side to side together.
"Never knew you were one for classical waltz?" Dracula asked rather impressed with her.
When her cheeks become the color of woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa as she was twirled in place. She blinked a few times when moment became of a smooth and fluid turning motion to his right had with their eye meeting. Look of contentment on his face and raw display of emotion in his eyes looking upon her as they glide across the floor.
"My father had me take dance lessons when I was little." She would fought a blush. "Turns out, I am a natural."

Girl, you make me wanna sing
You make me wanna sing another love song

She ended up facing him diagonally with him stepping forward on his right foot and following into a step backwards on his left foot. He then took a quarter turn to the right, placing his right foot parallel to her own foother following into turn with him, placement of her right foot was parallel to his left. He brings her right foot beside his left, and the follow will bring her left foot beside his right to end the step.
"A fast learner." He does basic turn with her.
"And some much more." She made sure to open her body to the side to follow through.
His hold on her was kind and not to tightly when they started to come to the edge of the dance floor with neither one noticing. Gliding off the dance floor one step synchronized step after the other with their eyes peering into the other. A smile spreads on Dracula's face when fading crimson on those soft cheeks had him to with drawn to noticed where they were moving.

When the music came to end and Johnathon would end up telling everyone to chill before he put the newest one on. Was when they stopped dancing to split apart with their hands still grasping one another when returning to their table. Where friends sat and congratulated the pair on expert level dancing among fellow monsters and humans. Hazelcape looked to her dance partner and stated he was a excellent led in moving her around the dance floor. Who in turn would state she was skilled for someone with the beauty of a blacken rose about to bloom.

Breandán ended up vising the pool the hotel had after hours with one his mom's skeleton pets to just be alone without someone. He turned down his father's offer to come dance with them since he didn't want to dance with a fellow monster. Only female monster his own age was slime creature named Wendy Blob and she wasn the type of girl he's attracted toward. No way was he making friends with Mavis' cousin or a teenage mummy who resembled Murray. Left him with choice to stay in his parents room and wait for them to return from dancing with husband and monsters. Where he had his step- mother's collection of books to read or turn in early with butch of skeleton pets. Had him out about where he wasn't allowed since the pool was closed for maintenance purposes he didn't get. What he found were a batch of zombies tripping over themselves with tools and ladders not really getting very far.
"More entertaining then Charades in the gymnasium." He would find a place a seat. "Right?"
He got a lick from a skeleton of a great dane wearing a leather collar to fit what was left of it's neck beside him. Making Breandán thankful that he didn't get covered in drool since the pink was air just swepting his cheek. Left the young Dullahan to reach out and stroke the bony spines of his mother's pet as a form of lonely comfort. Wishing someone else besides his sister and his parents were around to hang out with since he was bored out of his mind. He spent the first few days of their stay here just walking around the woods that surround the hotel to see what he could find. He came across the Dark Forest Municipal Park and Bike Trail and Winnie's Treehouse during his explorations.
"One of those times I wish you could get me a nice girl." He spoke to the skeleton of a great dane.
He got another dry lick to the face that had sighing as he tucked one of his knees under his chin as he looked over the empty pool.
"I love how white bone those bone on your skeleton." A feminine voice answered him. "You must spend most of your time cleaning them."
"Actually my mom has this bone cleaner formula she uses to keep them white." He answered look at the skeleton of a great dane. "Never really shared with me."
"She's does trust you?" She voice would get closed.
"Yea, since I am known for pulling great pranks." He started to look for owner of the voice.
What he found was a rather traditionally dressed girl draped in black with her hair done in a double sided ponytail and braid that either side of her head that had him blinking. She was holding a book about scientific study of bones within both her hands as she just stood there and stared at the skeleton that sat beside him with his mouth hanging open.
"You got a name?" He would come to ask her.
"Nienke is all you getting." She moved her head to the side.
"You believe in Dullahans?" He asked turn his head toward her.
"I a human vacationing with her horror movie fan parents at a hotel ran by monsters." She stated rather defensively. "You think?"
He tried to not laugh at what she had to say before he would watch her take a seat right to sitting skeleton of a great dane.
"Any way I can meet your mom?" She asked looking over the skeleton of a great dane.
"Step- mom and not until tomorrow morning." He knew they would be back late.
