The next few days went by pretty quickly. Nothing much happened in either the castle or with the gang. Vlad Romanoff and Lord Nosferatu had remained in the castle under the directions of the Vampire Council.
The one true constant problem that had risen from the days was that Nosferatu kept arguing with Vlad and the Count. Apparently the Vampire Council had decided that bringing back Dracula was far too far fetched and too risky to actually work.
Many of the old practices that Dracula performed were considered unnatural by many vampires, leading to him not being liked by the Council. The World just didn't seem to want Dracula any more.
Nosferatu voiced his disgust several times, most of the residents of the castle paid him no interest. The only one that paid interest to what Nosferatu was saying was Stoker, so basically no one important.
Date night had finally arrived. Oskar was brushing his hair and getting his clothes ready for the big night. He then proceeded to leave and meet up with the guys and get the date night. However he got face to face with Gothetta.
"Hello Oskar, don't you look nice. Where are you going?" asked Gothetta
"Oh, um, hi Gothetta, I'm just going for a fly into town I'll be back soon." said Oskar
"You're going to see Sunshine aren't you? I should go with you just in case her grandfather tries something. Also, if anyone asks they'll believe we were studying together better than you just flying by yourself." said Gothetta
"I really appreciate that Gothetta, but I need you to stay here, I don't want you to get in trouble because of me." said Oskar
"Alright, just be careful." said Gothetta
"I will, see you later." said Oskar before leaving
Gothetta was left alone and began walking to the library only to find Stoker blocking her path. He had his usual smug face and arrogant attitude.
"Well hey there Red, I see Oskar blew you off again. When are you going to stop dreaming fro that toothless wimp and go for a real vampire like me?" asked Stoker
"Stoker for the last time, I am not interested." said Gothetta passing around Stoker
"Come now Gothetta, I am easily the best vampire around. Who would you prefer to have instead?" asked Stoker
"You want the long list or the short one?" asked Gothetta
"Are you saying you would rather go out with Leechy or Ashely rather than me?" asked Stoker
"No, I would rather marry a human than going out with you." said Gothetta leaving Stoker in the dust with his mouth open
Stoker angrily ranted and kicked around in anger. He grumbled to himself and cursed Oskar and anyone else that looked down on him. This kind of display could only be matched by a massive temper tantrum.
This caught the attention of someone.
"Well that was surely an insulting claim. The nerve of that girl." said Nosferatu
"My Lord, forgive my loss of control." said Stoker
"Do not apologize, even I would have trouble controlling myself after hearing such indignity." said Nosferatu
"I just wish I could give them what they deserve." said Stoker not thinking clearly
"You know, if you wish to truly get the respect that you deserve go see if you can find some one for me." said Nosferatu
"Who do you seek?" asked Stoker
"A young virgin girl with sun kissed hair." said Nosferatu
Unbeknownst to the two sneaky vampires Gothetta had heard everything and knew exactly who they were targeting.
Randy was done getting ready and went to get Heidi. Howard meanwhile was tasked to meet up with Oskar and go to get Sunshine.
"Alright, play it cool." said Randy to himself as he knocked on the door of Heidi's room
Heidi stepped out wearing her usual yellow shirt, red skirt and she looked like she had done her hair a bit and added some make-up. She had her red bag strapped across her shoulder just for the occasion.
"Hi Randy, don't you look fancy." said Heidi
"Yeah, you look amazing as always. Not saying that you don't look good but I'm just saying you look nice." said Randy with a light blush
"Ready to when you are." said Heidi
"Right." responded Randy holding Heidi's hand
The two Norresville students went up to the new place, Joe's Pizza-mania, where they met with both Oskar and Sunshine.
Randy had told Heidi, before they arrived, that Oskar was a friend of Sunshine and that he was having some trouble with going on a date with her so Randy offered to help out and they planned the date accordingly. At first Heidi was a little ticked that Randy had not told her sooner but she figured that a double date was a date none the less.
As they entered the hang out spot and saw that it was both a pizza place and a sort of retro dance ground. They even recognized some of the students from Norresville amongst the crowd dancing or eating pizza.
"Where is Howard?" asked Randy to Oskar in a whisper
Oskar pointed to the high bar directly at a guy wearing a long trench coat, a fedora hat, a fake beard and a pipe. Howard's version of an unassuming disguise.
"I his defense no one would look at him thinking he may be insane." said Randy
The four teenagers sat on their table and started looking at the menus hoping to find something to eat. However, none of them noticed that both Lugosi and Polidori had entered the establishment looking for the vampires.
"There they are Polidori, now remember do not engage, let them draw is in. We'll get them in the trunk and move to the designated area." said Lugosi
"Understood, I'll warn Sunshine." said Polidori only for Lugosi to pull him back
"What part of remaining secret do you not understand? Now find the vampire we know its here." said Lugosi going to one side of the restaurant.
Back with the four youngsters on their date, they had all began talking about their daily lives.
"Well, most of the time me and Howard just mess around, play video games..." said Randy
"You bailing him out of trouble." added Heidi
"He does sound like the type that gets into trouble more often than nought. He reminds me of one of my classmates, but only a little." said Oskar
"Really, how so?" asked Sunshine
"Well, he's always trying to prove that he is the best or the coolest in everything, he thinks sole of himself and he never knows when to stop. But in the end he is all talk but no bite." said Oskar
"Wow, you have a very colorful group of classmates and friends Oskar." said Heidi
"Yeah, where are they anyway?" asked Sunshine
"Hey, let's stop talking of others and just talk about ourselves. We are the ones on the double date not them. Right, cus." said Randy to Oskar
"Right cus. In fact I'll go see if our pizza is ready, be back in a second." said Oskar
As Oskar left to get the pizza Sunshine turned to see the couple from Norresville with a slightly serious expression.
"So, um, you two seem to be hitting it off pretty well." said Randy
"You aren't related to Oskar." said Sunshine out of the blue
"No he's not." said Heidi leaving Randy with a face of disbelief.
"Alright fine, I'm not related to him, I met him once and then we met again after you told me about him. We talked and we became friends that's all." explained Randy
"Then, why are you doing this whole thing?" asked Sunshine
"He was nervous about your first official date, I figured that he would be more at ease if he was with more friends than just alone with you." explained Randy
Sunshine didn't seem fully convinced and looked to Heidi for some insurance as to what Randy had just said.
Heidi on her part knew that although Randy was sometimes a shoob, he was responsible and a good friend. So she decided to bail him out.
"Sunshine, he truly means well. He just likes to help others, he's been like that since we were little." said Heidi
"Well, thanks for helping him. Its just that he's always been a little secretive and I was hoping to be more than just friends." said Sunshine
"It is hard sometimes, but just be patient." said Heidi holding Sunshine's hand
Back at the bar Howard went up to Oskar who had just been waiting for the pepperoni pizza with no garlic.
"Yo V-man, how are things?" asked Howard
"I like to say that they are good, but I-" said Oskar
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, listen I was hoping you could do me a solid. See that girl over there in the dance floor. Her name is Morgan, one of the hottest girls in Norresville." said Howard cutting off Oskar and pointing to Morgan on the dance floor.
"Yeah I see her. What do you want me to do?" asked Oskar
"I read you vampires have hypnotic abilities. I want you to hypnotize her to think I am hot and sexy." said Howard
"I'm not going to turn her into your slave, besides I'm terrible with hypnotism." said Oskar
"Don't worry, you don't have to turn her into my sexual slave or anything, just make her interested in me then I'll do the rest. I'll be standing there." said Howard as he moved to be in position removing his beard.
Unbeknownst to the two boys Polidori had been spying on them across the dance floor and set ready to jump out with garlic in hand.
Morgan stepped outside the dance floor to rearrange her hair and took out a small mirror. Oskar thought that his was as good a time as any. He focused on Morgan and began trying to hypnotize her.
"You will find Howard Weinerman incredibly intriguing. You want to talk to him and go out with him. Perhaps even consider being his lover." said Oskar with his hypnotic powers
However what happened next no one could have predicted. Polidori jumped in front of Howard with a lost gaze in his eyes.
"I love you, make me yours." said Polidori
Howard screamed as the old man jumped at him like a love crazed mad man.
"Oh crap." said Oskar
