Alright! It's here! I'd like to thank you guys! I was not expecting so many people to read this and let me just say it's so cool to get so many awesome people to read my story! I'm so glad you guys enjoy it and I'd like to apologize if I'm not able to upload new chapters as much as you'd like but I am currently working on 4 different stories and school so all I can say is that I'll try my best to get these chapters out as fast as I can!

If you guys have anything you'd like to see, leave a comment in the reviews and let me know. It might show up in later chapters! Anyway, onto the current chapter!

Chapter 5:

Mavis smiled as she walked through the lobby, greeting all the monsters. The ones who she knew smiled and called to her by name while she introduced herself to the new ones.

"Honey bat, what are you doing still up? The sun is up. It could kill you" Dracula said, meeting his daughter at the stairs. "Didn't Danny take you to your room?"

"Yeah, well, that was a few hours ago and I wanted to see some of the guests." Mavis said shyly, tucking some hair behind her ear. "Have you seen Danny by the way?"

"No, I haven't seen- Why? Do you want to know?" Dracula asked, noticing his daughter's sudden curiosity.

"Oh! No reason, I was just curious. He's interesting..." Mavis said, smiling at the floor while she was lost in thoughts.

Dracula chuckled. He set a hand on her shoulder.

"I haven't seen him but his parents are out on the patio, having lunch. You could go ask them." he suggested.

Mavis' blue eyes lit up and she nodded before running out to meet the couple.

Meanwhile, a familiar head full of red hair was shoving his way through the revolving doors of the lobby while Jack was getting a plate of food for his wife, who kept glancing up at the window she knew led to their bedroom.

"Come on, Sally. You gave him some deadly night shade mixed with moon dust. He's fine. If you spend all your time worrying about him almost as much as you do at home, you won't get any vacation time." Jack said. "Let me worry about him. You relax."

"Jack, I'm his mother. I'm supposed to worry about him." Sally said, taking a second to look at her husband's empty eye sockets, which accompanied a frown and an exasperated sigh.

Sally couldn't help but laugh at her husband's antics as he rested his head in his boney hand. He seemed deep in thought before his face lit up and he snapped his fingers.

"How about I spend a the day with him tomorrow? Get some food? Explore the forest? Scaring like old times? All while you spend the day to yourself. Stress free and relaxing like you deserve." He said, standing, a large grin decorating his skull.

"I think it'd be very sweet of you to do that." Sally smiled, the stitching along her cheeks making her seem much happier than anyone else they knew.

Jack took her shoulders and kissed her forehead before backing away and smiling at her. All of the ideas already running through his skull.

"I've got some planning to do, then. I'll see you later." And with that, he was gone.

Sally couldn't stop herself from laughing at the irony. Her husband had taken this vacation in order to get away from all of the planning and stress that the mayor usually put him through as soon as Halloween ended, only for him to start planning for things at the hotel. Her husband was nothing without his plans. She loved him for it.

The small flapping of wings caused Sally's attention to turn to a small bat just as it morphed into Mavis and she was instantly asked questions about Danny.

"Hi Mrs. Sally! Have you seen Danny?" Mavis asked, her eyes scanning the area before settling on the doll lady.

"Yes, he's sleeping. I gave him something to help him sleep so he'll be out for a few more hours." Sally explained, sipping some of the tea Jack had brought her.

"Help him sleep? What do you mean?" Mavis asked,

Sally set her cup down before resting her hands in her lap. This girl seemed very curious about her son. Maybe telling her about him would cause her to want to help him. Someone more his age would probably be more helpful for Danny to connect to. Sally took her time explaining to the the vampiress.

"His death is still very traumatic for him so he often had nightmares and refuses to sleep. I make him a potion to him to have dreamless sleep because believe it or not, even the undead need to sleep." Sally explained.

Mavis nodded, looking down in thought.

"If I could ask a favor." Sally's voice caught her attention.

"Of course, Mrs. Sally."

"Someone closer to his age would help Danny. He needs someone to talk to and neither I or Jack have been able to talk to him anymore than he's told us already so perhaps you'd be able to talk to him." Sally said. "I'd like for you to take care of him when Jack and I can't."

Mavis was slightly shocked at what Sally was saying. She'd only known Danny for a day and had already been asked by his mom to take care of him. Sure, it wasn't him asking himself but it was close and not something Mavis would say no to. She would watch over him. She still owed him from when he saved her from those humans.

Later, Mavis was still in thought as she walked down the stairs leading to the lobby, not seeming to notice any of the chaos that was going on. A broom flew around the room, it's owner on the floor below was jumping around as if trying to catch it. A boy was hanging onto the rouge broom for dear life, screaming. (How does Mavis not notice this!?) He flew around, did a few loops and was just about to ram into Mavis as soon as she noticed him. The broom flew off as the two tumbled down the stairs, Mavis just landing on her knees and clutching her head as the boy landed right on his head of red hair.

"Oohhhh, what hit me?" the boy muttered, holding his head.

Mavis, having recovered before him, held her head and sat up.

"More like what you hit. Which would be me and the floor." Mavis said.

He paused and slowly moved to look at her before his eyes widened and he backed away.

"Gah! I'm sorry!" He exclaimed.

Mavis tilted her head at him in confusion. He looked terrified but she couldn't have been the cause of that. Could she? He looked like her uncle Frank. His bright red hair sticking straight up and a stitch pattern on his neck. His blue jacket seemed three sizes too big for him and he wore an orange and yellow shirt under it with tan khakis and sneakers.

"Um, it's ok. I'm fine." Mavis said, studying the boy more before her dad stood in between them and stretched his cape to cover the boy.

"Mavis, honey, are you alright?" He asked, looking at her with what looked like concern and nervousness.

"Yeah, I think so." Mavis answered, holding a hand to her throbbing head, a slight headache forming. "That was really weird."

She was distracted by the boy talking again.

"My head hurts." he muttered.

Something told her that her dad had something to do with this and decided to dig into who the boy was.

"Dad, who is that?" she asked.

"Who is what?" Dracula asked, trying to act curious only to be caught when his daughter crossed her arms and gave him a pointed look. "Oh, that. That is nobody."

"Seriously, Dad?" Mavis asked, a deadpanned tone hitting her dad straight on.

The two vampires' attention was turned to the boy as he pushed past Dracula's cape and gave Mavis a bewildered look.

"Dad?!" he exclaimed.

Mavis giggled, used to the reaction she had been getting from customers since she was born.

"Yeah, I know," She smiled. "Dracula's daughter. Everyone freaks out at first."

"Dracula?!" The boy exclaimed before her dad wrapped him in his cape and backing away.

"Okay, we got to go." he said hurriedly before flying away.

Mavis stood and watched her dad, suspiciously. Her attention was drawn to a certain white haired teen as he flew into the lobby, searching before he waved as if trying to catch her attention. He flew down closer to her.

"Mavis!" He called before landed in front of her.

Mavis smiled at the ghost boy, her attention switched to the white haired boy in front of her. He looked much better than he did when she first met him. His eyes were actually glowing despite it being a lit area and his hair was clean and brushed. He had changed his clothes to a black t-shirt with the P inside a D insignia from his sweatshirt over a white long sleeve with black jeans and white combat boots. His mood was energetic and his face was decorated with a large grin. He tilted his head at her delayed response

"Hi, Danny. How do you feel?" she asked, hiding her blush.

"Much better now that I got some sleep." Danny said before rubbing the back of his neck. "My aunt told me you were looking for me."

"Oh! I... uh... wanted to know if you wanted to go up to the clouds and play hide and go seek sharp objects but... you know... without the sharp objects." Mavis asked shyly, holding her hands behind her back.

"I've never heard of that. Maybe I played it when I was alive. You'll have to explain the rules but it sounds like fun." Danny said, his bubbly attitude making Mavis smile.

Her face took a competitive look as she morphed into a bat.

"Alright! Race you up there!" She exclaimed, flying through the air.

She could hear his laughter behind her and couldn't help but laugh as well.
