Frankie walked down the stairs in the front room of the castle. Manny was have a conversation with her parents about what they were going to do tonight. Stopping mid-sentence Manny looked up to see Frankie walking down in a tight almost miniskirt dress that had a slight sparkle in the light. Manny looked different himself he wasn't wearing his normal red labyrinth shirt. He wore a nice looking polo with a blazer over top and a nice pair of blue jeans. Frankie smiled at him as her dad turned around looking at his little girl starting to tear up. His bride put around him whispering comforting words.
"Wow, you look…you're… I mean…" Manny stammering blushing a little bit. Frankie just walked to him blushing herself. "Thank you, Manny you look nice to." they stared at each other in the eyes, till her dad cleared his throat making them blush more.
"Okay you two I have a few ground rules. Stay in public at all times, keep your hands to yourself, and come home right after the boovie." Her father said in a sad but stern tone.
"Daddy!" Frankie said embarrassed.
"Frank." His bride said smacking him in the back of his head. "Don't mind him just go have some fun and be careful." She opened the door smiling. Frankie hugged her father whispering "I'll be OK daddy." She kissed him on the cheek. That's when she realized that he was crying. She pulled away giving him a confident smile. Hugging her mother she followed Manny out the door starting their first date.
They walk hand in hand on the 20 minute walk to the maul. Frankie was amazed by the size of it. It was three stories tall with giant windows and large willow trees in front and around the parking lot.
"This place is amazing." Frankie said as Manny chuckled.
"Yeah? Wait till we get inside." Walking through the sliding doors Frankie's mouth hit the floor. She had never seen something so big. There was clothes stores, electronic stores, and a larger area with tables for the ginormous food court. There was even a skating rink. Manny put his arm around the Frankie laughing "Welcome to the Maul."
"There are so many things in here." Frankie said looking around watching monsters walking around in groups carrying bags and talking. "Is the theater here too?" Frankie asked trying to take in her surroundings.
"Yeah it's on the third floor just pasted the sports shop." Manny said leading her over to an escalator. At the top Frankie looked around. She seen the theater on the other side. Running ahead of Manny she was stopped by a high perky voice turning around she was jumped on by Draculaura.
"Frankie! What are you doing here?" she giggling. Frankie hugged her and answered in a laugh. "Hi, I'm here with Manny." Frankie pointed to Manny who was talking to Clawd,
"That's right you guys are dating now right?
"What? How did you know?" Frankie was surprised and confused. Draculaura searched through her purse pulling out her Icoffin. She made a few taps on the screen and turned it toward Frankie. "It's on the ghostly gossip. It was just posted."
"How long ago?" asked Manny walking over with Clawd.
"About five minutes ago dude." Clawd answered before Draculaura could.
"Really Spectra works fast." Manny chuckled then a faint voice came out of nowhere. "Thank you I always do." Frankie looked around seeing no one. Turning forward there was a ghost in front of her. Jumping back Frankie screamed. Everyone laughed as Frankie hid behind Manny. Frankie wasn't scared because she was a ghost she was just scared because she didn't know that she would be right in front of her when she turned around.
"Frankie this is Spectra Vondergeist. She is the writer of the ghostly gossip. She is like the school reporter." Draculaura said Frankie walked around Manny waving.
"Hi"
"Hi, I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you," Spectra was transparent but you could see her. She had long purple hair, the white of her eyes were purple but her eye color was blue and she wore a tight but flowing dress with chains.
"So you're the ghost behind the ghostly gossip. To be honest I haven't read any of your post. I didn't even know about it till now. How did you even know we were dating?"
"Well I float around to where people can't see me looking for stories. I just happen to see Manny putting his arm around you. So u figured you were together."
"What do you do if the information is wrong?" Manny asked
"I redo my blog. Telling the truth."
"Oh, Hey guys we got to get going our boovie is about to start."
"What are you guys seeing?" asked Clawd
"Umm, Vampire Majesties." Manny said rubbing the back of his neck.
"So are we." Draculaura said in I nasty way.
"Draculaura hates the Vampire Majesty boovies because…" Clawd said only to be cut off by her.
"THEY ARE SO FAKE! I lived in the vampire's court it is nothing like the boovies."
"We know Draculaura it's not even close, but remember Elissabat is the star of the boovies so you can't be too cruel."
"Wow really?" Frankie was amazed that Draculaura knew someone famous.
"Totts! We grew up together in the Vampire court. She's also the Vampire Queen."
"You mean Veronica Von Vamp?" Manny asked confused
"Yeah that's her stage name." said Draculaura walking toward the theater as everyone followed her to the ticket booth.
While standing at the ticket booth Lagoona walked up with a boy water looking monster who started trading handshakes with Manny and Clawd.
"Hey mates. Fancy meeting you here." Lagoona said waving
"Hey Lagoona come to see a boovie with Gil?" Draculaura asked motioning to him
"Who's Gil?" Frankie asked, Lagoona pointed to the water monster with the guys.
"That's Gil he's a fresh water monster."
"I thought salt and fresh water didn't get along?" Draculaura questioned
"They don't." Lagoona made a face like she didn't want to be asked that question
"Why?" Frankie spoke up
"Well fresh water monsters think salt water fish are dirty." Gil said making the ghouls turn.
"His parents don't like me for that reason."
"But I don't care a love Lagoona and that's all that matters." Gil said holding Lagoona close.
"What are you guys seeing?" asked Frankie
"We don't know yet maybe Vampire Majesty." Lagoona said while Gil made a face.
"So are we!" Draculaura said as she bounced up and down.
"So Frankie, I seen you and Manny dating now, love. When did this happen?" asked Lagoona. Manny walked over to Frankie putting his arm around her making her blushed. Frankie was too embarrassed to talk so he answered for her. "Since this morning, I've been over there since I took her home after the fight…" looking down he saw that Frankie looked upset "I'm sorry Frankie I didn't me…"
"It's OK Manny"
"Oh I heard about that are you OK?" Lagoona asked hugging Frankie.
"I'm fine still bruised, got a new scar." Frankie said pointing to her face. Looking up she saw a lot of confused face staring at her till Clawd said something.
"You don't look bruised."
Frankie sighed pulling up her hair reveling her swollen black eye and a few bruises. Getting a gasp from everyone she dropped her hair down. Covering her face she started to cry.
"I didn't know she hurt you that bad." Draculaura whispered hugging Frankie. Frankie opened her eyes to see everyone was hugging her. "I was my fault I didn't know what I was saying. She had every right to do it."
"No, she didn't Frankie. You told her what everyone is thinking. We thank you for that." Clawd said putting a hand on her shoulder. Looking up she smiled. "You're welcome"
Getting their tickets and going to the snack bar they found seats as the movie started. The lights dim and turn off. A bright light from the back of the room projected the movie on the screen. Frankie watched the black and white picture moving in front of her. She was excited for this.
As the movie played she looked beside her to talk to Draculaura, to find her and Clawd making out not watching the movie. Turning forward quickly, Manny chuckled a little. Leaning over he whispered to her "That is why people don't go to the movies with them." Frankie just nodded whispered "Know you tell me." They both chuckled earning some shushing from other monsters watching the movie. They tried hard not to laugh out loud.
After the movies was over her and Lagoona stood up and stretched talking about the movie while Manny and Gil made jokes to Clawd and Draculaura asking, "So how was the movie? Did you like that part?" Draculaura blushed while Clawd growled and punched the two boys who were laughing. Draculaura walked past her ghoul friends, her pink face was red from embarrassment, Frankie and Lagoona just giggled.
"Are you OK?" Frankie asked running to catch up to her.
"Totts..." she said whipping tears away sitting at a bench. "Why do guys got to be so mean?"
"It's alright mate, their just joking." Lagoona said sitting beside her
"We're not the only monsters to do it. I mean come on don't tease us about it." Draculaura was getting mad now.
"I have to agree with you on that one." Frankie said "I saw a few other couples doing it"
"Exactly!" Draculaura said getting a few looks from monsters walking by.
The boys finally joined the ghouls. Manny grabbed Frankie's hand pulling her close "Well I better get you home, you know before your dad kills me." He said chuckling. Frankie nodded waving goodbye to her friends. Manny lead her through the Maul and out the door and into the chilly night.
On the walk home Frankie started to get cold. Rubbing her arms she felt a blanket of warmth she realized that Manny had given her his blazer.
"Don't you need it though?" she asked
"Nah I'm part bull I've got fur to keep me warm." She said putting his arm around her.
"Thank you." Frankie said blushing slightly.
They didn't say much after that till they were standing on the front porch of Frankenstein Castle. They both stood there awkwardly not knowing what to do or say. Manny rubbed the back of his neck while Frankie looked at her shoes. Manny finally spoke breaking the silence, "I hope you enjoyed your first time to the Maul."
"I did." She smiled looking into his eyes.
They stared at each other for a while till Manny pulled her close. One arm around her waist and one hand on her face. Frankie had her hands on his chest staring into his eyes. Manny took and deep breathe speaking in a soft tone. "I love you Frankie." Frankie stared Deeper into his eyes and answered. "I love you too." Both leaning of them shared Frankie's first kiss. Frankie felt like she was on top of the world. He lifted her off the ground deepening their kiss. Frankie sparked shocking Manny didn't flinch. She was happy, thinking to herself 'Nothing can ruin this night.'
So she thought, the moment ended when they heard her father clearing his throat. Both stop kissing turning to see Frankenstein standing in the doorway. Manny gently put Frankie down. He said good bye and ran down the drive way. Frankie looked at her father who was tapping his foot at his daughter. Frankie smiled at him in a daze and spoke in a soft lightheaded voice. "See Daddy, I'm fine."
She pushed pasted him walking up the steps. She felt like she was walking on air with all the butterflies in her stomach. She laid on her bed and giggled. Pulling out her Journal she simply wrote,
Frankie's Journal
BEST NIGHT EVER!
