Hey, everybody, I'm back. How was your Independence Day? I got to see the fireworks, but not up close because fireworks are loud. Anyway, before we begin, I have two items I need to go over with you. First, the fourth Hotel Transylvania movie has been rescheduled for October 1st. Second, if I had to choose a voice actress for Queen Grinder IX of Fire, my guesses to voice her would be Catherine O'Hara, Catherine Keener, Christina Hendricks, Teri Hatcher or Bette Midler. My random choice would be Bette Midler. What do you think? Let me know in your review. Anyway, prepare to read this new chapter!

"Hey, FRANKIE!" The Loch Ness Monster greeted Frankenstein. "You finally made it!"

"I wouldn't miss it." Frank replied.

"Guess what? I brought the gang over! You remember Elvis Presley, Confusious, Abe Lincoln, and SUPERMAN!"

"Loch Ness, those are not Abe Lincoln, Elvis, Confusious, or Superman! That's Roy and Soy the Fraternal Siamese Rattlesnake twin brother and sister, Bruce and Hugh the rats, and…" Frankenstein becomes shocked. "Prince Scorpo! Transylvania's best card-playing royal scorpion!"

"One and the same, Frankenstein." Scorpo said.

"DANG IT, LOCH NESS! I TOLD YOU TO NOT TO INVITE SCORPO! HE'S A FREAKING SHARK AT GAMES!"

"Silly Frank, he's not a shark or a lawyer. He's a scorpion." Loch Ness said.

Frank slaps himself in the face in annoyance. "I meant the guy who always wins! Everytime he shows up, we end up losing loot."

"I tried, but he gave me a cookie if I let him join the game."

"A cookie? ARE YOU SERIOUS?! A STUPID LITTLE COOKIE?! What kind?"

"An Oreo, and for letting me in to the pleas, a Chips Ahoy!"

"Loch, sometimes I wish you weren't so darn obsessive with cookies. No matter, I'm not gonna let Princey beat me this time!"

Soon, the group of monsters were playing poker.

"Okay, Princey, cut the cards!" Frank exclaimed to Scorpo, who did just that.

"Roy, if you want, I'll sneak over to the other card players, and—" Soy started to say, only for her brother to cut her off.

"No, sister, we are playing this the honorable way." He spoke.

"Get your own cards!" Bruce exclaimed.

"No, YOU get YOUR own cards!" Hugh retorted and the two rats start fighting.

"Ok, Bruce and Hugh are out because they fought…AGAIN!" Frank interjected.

"Now look what you done!" Bruce shouted at the other rat after the fight stopped.

"Oh, shut up and pay the monster!" Hugh retorted.

Bruce gives Frank $500.

"This is gonna be a slam dunk!" Frank exclaimed like a rich guy.

"We're playing basketball now?" Loch Ness Monster asked in confusion.

Frank retaliates by slapping the long-necked monster with flippers. "No, you moron! It was a simple figure of speech!" He notices Soy peeking at his cards. "Roy and Soy are out for cheating."

"SISTER!" Roy screamed at Soy, who shrugs.

"Darn it! Here's the family jewels, you son of Victor Frankenstein!" Soy gives Frank a lovely pile of rubies.

"Jack and pot!" Frank exclaimed greedily.

"Shall we finally settle this, Frankenstein?" Scorpo asked.

"Gladly!" Frank replied and put down his fold. "Pair of 5s!"

The scorpion puts down his fold. "Royal flush!" Frank's jaw drops, but not literally. "Well, I guess I'll confiscate your winnings and your lotto tickets."

"D'OH, take them! They were all duds anyway!"

"Actually, you seemed to have missed one. And" he scratches the lotto. "This one turned out to be the 900-dollar winner." Frank's jaw drops again and an aoogah sound is heard. "Well, as usual, I win again, Frankenstein. Adios, sucker!" He makes an annoying laugh as he and his servants leave with the loot.

"See what happens when you let a doggone cookie do your thinking, Loch Ness?" Frank asked Loch Ness.

The Loch Ness Monster is asleep and snoring. "Oh my God! It's raining cookies!" He exclaimed in his sleep.

"CRUD MONKEYS!"

And there you have it, guys! That wraps up chapter 3! Hey, I think this story is coming out great. I hope you liked it and please favorite, follow and, of course, review!

Well, looks like Frank lost a poker game to a scorpion and his servants. The next chapter is where he will be put in debt by Queen Grinder and her colony.

Chapter 4 will be on its way, so stay tuned! THANK YOU & I'm out of here!
