"Who are you?!" Dracula demanded from the human after taking him to a nearby storage closet.
"Oh, my names Johnny." The human replied.
"How did you find this place?!" Drac demanded.
"I was out rock climbing with my friends and we noticed a village full of these zombie looking dudes and we followed them." Johnny replied.
"How many more of you are coming?!" Drac demanded.
"Eh, just me. My other friends chickened out in that forest full of ghosts." Johnny said. Then he eyed Drac from head to toe.
"By the way dude, that cape is kill-ing it!" Johnny said, thinking that Drac was just another human dressed in a costume. What was Drac gonna do? If the other monsters found out there was human in Hotel Transylvania, they would freak out! Drac had also decided against killing Johnny as that would set monsters back centuries. Drac took a peek out of the closet to make sure no one was paying attention and snuck Johnny to his room. There, he dressed Johnny up like a smaller version of Frankenstein. Johnny looked at himself.
"Hey, check me out! I'm a Frankenhomie!" He said stomping around and trying to growl like Frank. Drac looked at him in disgust.
"Okay, you're leaving." Drac said leading him out of the room.
"Why? I just got here!" Johnny said in disappointment. Drac didn't answer him and continued leading him out of the hotel through the lobby. Johnny noticed a skeleton right near him and stuck his hand in it, thinking it was fake. However, the skeleton shrieked and Johnny jumped back.
"Get your hands out of my wife!" A second skeleton said in anger. Johnny shrieked in fear, realizing the skeletons were real. He started panicking, running into some of the other monsters, and screamed, realizing all the monsters were real, and not humans in costumes like he thought. He then ran into a witch and landed on her broom, causing it to take flight. Johnny flew around the hotel lobby before finally crashing into Mavis. They both fell to the floor and looked up at each other. Suddenly, a purple zing cast itself upon their eyes, and Drac hurried over to Mavis.
"Mavis, are you okay?" He asked, extending his cape with his arms so she couldn't see Johnny.
"Yeah, that was kinda weird." Mavis said, referring to the purple swirl she saw in her eyes. "Wait, who is that?"
"Who are you talking about?" Drac asked, pretending not to know about Johnny.
"Uh, the one standing behind you." Mavis said.
"Oh him! Uh, he's no one important. And he was just leaving." Drac said grabbing Johnny.
"Uhh, okay." Mavis replied. Drac then took Johnny and led him to a hidden passage. Johnny followed as the Count led with some candles.
"Where are we going?" Johnny asked.
"Getting you out of here. There should be an exit here somewhere…" Drac muttered as they entered a room with multiple passages.
"Why are you so against humans? I mean, aren't you a human? You look like one." Johnny asked. Drac glared at him in anger.
"No, I am not a human. I'm a vampire, as is my daughter." Drac replied.
"Oh, she was that girl I ran into right?" He asked. Drac sighed in annoyance.
"Yes." He answered simply.
"Is it true you suck human blood?" Johnny asked. He didn't know much about vampires, so he was curious.
Drac sighed again. "Yes, everything you've heard is true. I suck human blood, I can turn into a bat, and I can't eat garlic…"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! You can't eat garlic?" Johnny asked.
Drac glared at him, did all humans ask this many questions?
"Yes… I can't have garlic, it makes my throat swell." Drac answered before running into a wall. The two turned back and went down a different passage. Eventually they came across a candleholder that Drac smiled at. "Ah, here we go." He pulled it and it opened a hidden door. Johnny looked and saw another hotel room with a pink bed. He was about to enter, until he heard a bunch of little noises. Both Johnny and Drac crouched down to see two little monsters.
"I am sorry, I'm a little lost. Yes, I know it's your honeymoon, I apologize. Go back to what you were doing." Drac said as he and Johnny backed into the passage.
"Uhh, what was that about?" Johnny asked, but Drac didn't respond. "Do you know where we're going?"
"I'm not down here much." Drac replied. "It's meant to be an exit in case humans invade." They went through a couple hallways and had to turn back. They eventually came to another candlestick and Drac said "I think this is it." Johnny had his doubts so he stood back and out of sight.
Drac pulled the lever and they saw a skeleton showering. The skeleton screamed. "I am so sorry!" Drac shouted.
"What is wrong with you people?!" A second skeleton shouted. It was apparent this second skeleton was the firsts husband. Johnny tried not laugh as a wet rag was thrown, smacking Drac in the face.
Drac quickly closed the door and they continued on their way. During that time, Johnny couldn't stop the occasional chuckle. "Okay, I really need some silence right now." Said a very annoyed Dracula. They came across a stairway and went down. The stairs ended, but in a massive drop that no one could survive. Drac forgot to warn Johnny and the red haired human walked right over the edge. Shocked, Drac transformed into a bat and went after Johnny. Drac lifted Johnny up and back onto the stairs.
"Whoa, that was close." Johnny said walking next to Drac as he changed back to normal.
Not saying anything, they walked back and entered another hallway. They stayed silent until they reached another candlestick. "Alright, third times a charm." Again, Johnny stepped to the side just in case it was wrong. The secret entrance opened and they saw a fight going on. Johnny didn't know who any of them were, but Drac did. It was Frank, Murray, Wayne, a bunch of wolf children, and Jimmy. They were all throwing about three zombies.
Drac panicked and tried to close the door but Frank saw them. "Drac!"
"Yes Frankie?" said a very nervous Drac, glad that Johnny hid.
"Hey buddy, what have you been doing?" Frank questioned.
Drac smiled. "Don't move." He whispered to Johnny. "Never mind that!" Drac shouted to his friends. "What have you all been doing?"
Wayne answered. "We wanted to practice our big number for Mavis's party, but these losers wouldn't get off the bandstand."
"Yeah, they were kinda being idiots about it." Jimmy added.
"Okay." Drac said. "Put down Zombie Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven this instant." Frank threw Bach, Murray slammed Mozart to the ground, and Wayne spat Beethoven out. All three zombies landed in front of Drac. "Did you get to rehearse at all, Zombie Beethoven?"
"Listen Drac." Wayne began, getting Drac's attention. "We wanted to play something, like old times. We even thought you could sing with us."
Drac chuckled nervously. "Come on fellas, you know I haven't sang in public since Martha."
"Yeah." Frank said. "But we just thought you know, how much Mavis would love it."
"I said no!" Drac shouted before his eyes turned to slits and his fangs grew in length. He roared at his friends before calming a second later. "Don't ask me again!" Once calmed down enough he smiled and said. "Okay let's hug the zombies. Let's all make up."
Drac walked away and Jimmy whispered to Frank. "He really scared you, didn't he?"
"I wasn't scared!" Frank denied. "I was just being polite."
As everyone was talking, Johnny was watching. He then jumped back in surprise when Mavis appeared upside down in front of him. "Hey!" She greeted with a smile. "I thought you helping my dad? What are you doing?" Mavis assumed Johnny was another monster her father brought in to help setup her party.
Johnny quickly thought of an excuse. "You see, your dad was taking me to where I'm going to be working!" He said. He noticed Mavis was turning red.
"So, who are all the monsters?" Johnny asked, changing the subject.
"They're all my uncles. Frankenstein, the one hugging Mozart over there." Johnny looked and saw a giant man crushing a zombies head. "There's Wayne the werewolf." Johnny saw the humanoid wolf. "And Murray the mummy." Johnny looked and finally saw a large man wrapped in old bandages.
"Hey Mavis." greeted a high voice from a spider, causing Johnny to jump in surprise again.
That caught everyone's attention as they looked to see Johnny. "And who are you?" Frank asked. Mavis looked at Johnny.
"Yeah, you never did tell me your name." She said.
Drac was quick to get in between and whispered to Johnny. "They won't kill you as long as they think you're a monster."
'How comforting.' Johnny thought to himself nervously.
"Oh, his name is uh, Johnnystein!" Drac said thinking of a random name. "He's your cousin Frankie."
"I don't have a cousin." Muttered Frank.
"Yes you do! He's uh, your sixth cousin three times removed." Drac stated.
"On your right arms side." Added Johnny, causing Frank to look at his right arm.
Frank then smiled, completely buying the story. "Well, it's nice to meet you Cuz!" he said shaking Johnny's hand, which started slamming the red haired human into the ground.
Mavis saw this and giggled, making Johnny playfully glare at her. "Glad you think this is funny." He muttered with a smile.
"So what brings you here Johnnystein?" said a new voice that made Johnny jump again. Johnny looked but all he saw was a pair of floating glasses. "Sorry, I really should clear my throat before I talk."
Johnny looked at Mavis with a face that said, "Who is this?" Seeing this, she answered, "Johnnystein, this is my Uncle Griffin, also known as the invisible man."
"Thank you for the introduction." Griffin said. "So, what brings you here?" He asked Johnny again.
"I'm…uh…party planner." Johnny said, remembering his excuse.
Drac smiled nervously and said. "Yes! I have recruited Mr. Johnnystein here to help me with Mavis's party."
"Wait a minute." Said a surprised Murray. "You asked someone to help?" he asked in confusion.
"Captain Control Freak?" Said an equally surprised Wayne.
"It's Count." Drac said with a frown. "And yes, I thought having a Mavis contemporary would be useful."
Johnny nodded and said. "Yeah, he needed a new perspective." Drac's frown increased here whilst everyone's grin grew.
Wayne stepped forward and said. "Okay Johnnystein, Mr. Tight Coffin over here was planning to have these powdered lame-o's play at the party." He pointed to the three zombies, which made them sad.
Frank continued, "So anyways, we thought we could liven things up a bit." He finished as they all smiled.
"How?" Johnny asked, trying to get an understanding.
"Music!" they all said at the same time. "Here, we'll show you." Griffin finished.
(Music)
Girl, I can't believe it's your big night
Seems like only yesterday, you were eating mosquitoes
But now you're eating frogs and mice
Scarfing them down like Doritos
Tell me, where did the time go girl?
(End)
"Can you all stop for a second?" Johnny asked, making them all stop in confusion. "Where I'm from, music doesn't sound like that."
"Yes, thank you Johnnystein." Drac agreed.
Looking at Johnny, Frank playfully asked, "Think you could do better?" he then grabbed Johnny and threw him onto the stage and handed him a guitar.
"But I haven't played in years!" Johnny shouted, trying to leave but the others wouldn't let him. He looked around and saw expectant looks from Frank, Wayne, Murray, Griffin, and Jimmy. He looked to Drac and saw an evil smirk. Johnny then looked at Mavis and saw a hopeful look, making him sigh and think 'What am I going to sing?' then he had an old memory that made him smirk. Stepping up to the others, Johnny whispered into their ears, getting confused nods. Once that was done, Johnny stepped up to the microphone with the guitar and nodded to Griffin. He took a deep breath and looked straight at Mavis as he began to sing.

(End)
Desperately wanting to stop the music, Drac followed the cables to the plugs and pulled them from their sockets, stopping the music. It was too late as many monsters appeared and started cheering to the music even though the song was already over. Mavis was the only one not cheering but staring at Johnny in awe. "I am so blown away right now!" she said loudly as she ran up to Johnny.
Frank stepped forward and shouted. "I think this guy is gonna make this…the…best…party…EVER!"
"Oh yeah he is!" Jimmy agreed.
All the monsters then started the crowd around Johnny, giving suggestions to the party 'Was I really that good?' Johnny nervously thought to himself as he listened to the suggestions.
"We're not doing any of that!" Drac shouted as he floated into the air, stopping everyone from talking. "We're going to stay on schedule, alright?" he rhetorically asked.
"All right Dad, all right." Mavis said exasperated. Then she smiled and grabbed Johnny's hand. "You're coming too, right Johnnystein?"
Johnny just shrugged with a smile. "I don't know." Everyone then started trying to convince Johnny to join in, while Drac glared at the human.
