Chapter 2
However, right before the Loughrans left. Johnny noticed his promise song and his friendship necklace were gone as he noticed his pockets were empty, making him go back and look around with Linda and Mike helping out. Mavis noticed the missing items on the ground, near some bushes. She dove down as a bat as she picked up the dropped possession and tapped Johnny's shoulder while his back was turned, he responded, "Can I help you, ma'am?"
Mavis giggled sheepishly, "I think these are yours."
"Oh. Thank you! I've been looking all over for these."
"You're welcome."
"Actually, you want to keep them?"
"You'd really let me have them?"
"Yes. Out of gratitude."
"Uh, ok. Thanks!"
"No problem."
She disappeared in the shadows as Johnny's parent asked, "Did you find your stuff?"
Johnny answered while in a bit of a trance, "Actually, I gave them to a girl."
Linda's eyes widened, "Really? You found a special someone?"
"Yep, it's safe to say that I did. She had the most beautiful look, a gothic one."
Mike wasn't so sure, "I dunno, Johnny. Goth girls are kinda shady."
Linda objected, "Come on, Mike. As long as it's true love. Anyway, off we go."
Back inside, Frank said as Mavis added the artifacts to her collection, "Are you crazy?"
"Crazy with love."
"Mavis,human and monster do not get along",Eunice said in a panic.
"Ugh. Look, we just gotta forget this whole thing ever happened. Your dad will never know. You won't tell him; I won't tell him. We will all stay in one piece."
Meanwhile, the Devil, along with bat minions Joe and Tim, were watching from his cave hideout as he laughed, "Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. I can't stand it! It's too easy. The child is in love with a human. Her daddy will LOVE that. Dracula's headstrong, lovesick girl would make a charming addition to my little garden.
The next day, Wendy, Hank, Alex,and Pedro were waiting outside Mavis's room, the former asking, "Mavis, buddy, time to come out. You've been in there all morning."
Mavis emerged, singing to herself as Hank and Alex pondered, "What is with her lately?"
Pedro assumed, "Oh, she's got it bad."
That made Dracula ask, "She's got what bad? What has she got?"
"Uh, nothing."
Dracula wasn't buying it. He gave an intimidating glare to Mavis's friends, who tried to walk away. However, he wouldn't allow it as he started snarling like a wolf threatening to bite them. Wendy caved in and confessed, "Ok! You win! Mavis is... in love."
"Mavis? In love?"
Cut to Frank,Eunice,Wayne, Griffin, Murray, and Blobby pacing in the lobby. Frank sighed, "Ok, so far, so good. I don't think Drac knows, but it will not be easy keeping something like this a secret for long."
As Mavis picked petals off a flower from outside, she was all like, "He loves me. Hmmm, he loves me not... he loves me! I knew it!"
Eunice said to Mavis, "Stop talking crazy."
"I gotta see him again, tonight! I remeber what he looks like, and someone out there knows where he lives."
Murray panicked, "Mavis, please. Will you get your head out of the clouds and back on your body where it belongs?"
"I'll fly over to him. Then Wendy will wobble and jiggle around to get his attention, and then with-"
Griffin then interrupted with, "In HERE is your home! Mavis, listen to us. The human world is a mess. Life in the hotel is better than anything they got out there."
Then all of Dracula's pals and Eunice sung:
The grass here is always greener
Not in someone else's lake
You dream about going out there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the hotel housing you
Right here on the first floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more are you looking for?
Monster party
Monster party
Darling there's no narkers
Here where it's darker
Take it from me
Out there is they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we're devoting
Excessive promoting
Of monster party
In here, the monsters are happy
As off through the waves they roll
Out there, you won't be happy
A criminal with no parole
Stay here and don't be disowned
Or you're in for a worser search fate
One day when your cover is blown
Hell is what they'll create
Oh no!
Monster party
Monster party
No one will take us
Burn us or stake us
Like the beasts they see
The land folks are what we spook
Here, everyone's off the hook
We've got no trouble
Fun will be doubled
Monster party (Monster party)
Monster party (Monster party)
Since life is sweet here
We've got the beat here
Naturally (We, naturally)
Frank has the urge to start and play
In our own little cabaret
We got the spirit
You got to hear it
Monster party
Frank can make a bell clank
Eunice makes the tambourine shake
Wayne's trombone can entertain
Murray's rapping's hot as curry
And they're all sounding sharp
Griffin's bass is an ace
Us bubs can play a tub
Us spooks are the dukes of soul (Yeah)
All day we can play
The lings on the strings
Don't pout, rock out
The mummies, they sing
The wolves and the bats
They know where it's at
And oh that zombie blows
Monster party (Monster party)
Monster party (Monster party)
When jack o'lanterns
Set up a pattern
It's music to me
What have they got? (Executions planned)
We got a hot paranormal band
Each little bat here
Has a dance mat here
Monster party
All the big bugs here
Cutting a rug here
Monster party
Each little blob here
Does a good job here
That's why it's better
'Cause there's no fetters
Yes, we're in luck here
Running amok here
Monster party
They discover that Mavis has left with her buddies, making Frank ask, "Mavis? Mavis? Oh, somebody's got to nail that girl's wings to the floor."
Then the bellhop stopped them, "Blobby! Eunice ! Frank! Griffin! Murray! Wayne! I been looking all over for you four. I got an urgent message from Dracula."
Wayne was shocked, "Dracula?"
"He wants to see you all right away, something about Mavis."
Murray whimpered, "He knows."
Dracula was looking at Mavis's flower, "Let's see, now. Oh, who could the lucky beast be? Come in, everyone."
Frank murmured to himself, "We mustn't overreact. We must remain calm."
Six octaves higher than his normal voice, Wayne said, "Yes, Drac."
Drac rambled, "I'm concerned about Mavis. Have any of you noticed she's been acting peculiar lately?"
Griffin stammered, "Peculiar?"
"You know, moaning about, daydreaming, and singing to herself. You haven't noticed, hmm?"
Murray swallowed, "Oh, well, we..."
"Guys,Eunice?"
Blobby made a sound, "Hmmm?"
"I know you all been keeping something from me."
That made Frank worry, "Keeping... something?"
"About Mavis."
"Mavis?"
"In love?"
"Ok. You got us, we tried to stop her, sir. She wouldn't listen. We told her to stay away from humans, they are bad, they are trouble, they-"
The "H" word startled Dracula, who gasped, "Humans? What about humans?!"
"Humans? Ho ho ho ho... who said anything about humans?"
Fade to Mavis, Wendy, Hank, Alex,and Pedro entering Mavis's room, the vampire friend wondering with her eyes covered by the teenage mummy, "Why can't you guys tell me what this is all about?"
Wendy assured her, "You'll see. It's a surprise."
When Mavis's eyes were uncovered, she saw a ten-foot ice sculpture of Jonathan, made by her pals while she was away. She liked it because of how well it was made, "Oh, for me? You guys are the best! It looks just like him. It even has his eyes. Why, Johnny, run away with you? This is all so... so sudden..."
"Ahem."
Turning around, Mavis was shocked to see a very stern Dracula, "Dad!"
Dracula explained, but not before locking all of Mavis's friends outside of the room full of human artifacts, "I consider myself a reasonable man. I set certain rules, and I expect those rules to be obeyed."
"But dad!"
"Is it true you met a human? Contact between the humans and monsters is strictly forbidden. Mavis, you know that. Everyone knows that."
"He just wanted true love. You don't even know him."
"Know him?! I don't have to know him! They're all the same. Spineless, savage, torch-and-pitchfork-wielding, always on the hunt for monsters, incapable of any feeling!"
"Daddy, I love him!"
"No... have you lost your senses completely?! He's a human, you're a vampire!"
"I don't care."
"So help me, Mavis. I am going to get through to you, AND IF THIS IS THE ONLY WAY, SO BE IT!"
He started by ripping the friendship bracelet and stomping on promise ring, making Mavis horrified, "NO, PLEASE! DAD!"
Carrying the statue, Dracula pushed Mavis aside before throwing it high in the air and having it crash down on a whole wall full of human stuff, wrecking them beyond repair as Mavis screamed, "Daddy, stop! Daddy, nooo!"
Devastated by her father's harshness, Mavis began crying as Dracula left, briefly looking ashamed before heading off.
Once Drac was gone and the door was unlocked, Wendy, Hank, Alex ,and Pedro looked at Mavis, who was still crying. The latter tried to comfort her, "Mavis, we-"
"Just go away."
Seeing that their friend wasn't in the mood, they left.
