Chapter 1: Mavis & Johnny's Wedding
Hotel Transylvania 2
If you make it through a very think foggy bank, you will find Hotel Transylvania standing majestically before you as lightning strikes and you hear the sound of thunder. Enter through the revolving door of the hotel and if you look up, you're greeted by a cute little spider, who pulls himself up to reveal a large sparkling silver spider web reading Congratulations Mavis and Jonathan while You've Got a Friend in Me is playing in the background.
The lobby had been decorated in mostly white with a soft pink lighting, a white carpet went from the door to the reception deck and two zombie bellhops finished laying it out proudly. But then it got covered in slime from Blobby, a muddy footprint from Bigfoot, and further ruined by werewolf pups, Mr. Hydraburg, and other monsters walking rapidly over it.
"Ohh!" the zombies moaned.
"Welcome, welcome!" Dracula, in an elegant tuxedo, greeted with a smile as he shook hands with a yeti and a gremlin who had been regular guests at the hotel.
"Congrats, Drac," the yeti said in a friendly tone. "Holy smokes! Everybody's here."
"Oh yeah! I can't believe I'm actually getting married!" Johnny cheered, pumping his fists in the air, and his appearance sort of caught Dracula off guard. "Hey, make yourselves comfortable and enjoy the ceremony," he said to the gremlin and yeti, shaking both of their hands before he left to go greet more guests.
"Nice kid," the yeti smiled.
"Hey, she loves him," Dracula replied, shrugging happily.
"Yeah, look at this way, Drac," added the gremlin. "You're not losing a daughter, you're gaining-"
Unknowingly the gremlin's words made the vampire take it the wrong way. He towered over the yeti and the gremlin, his voice deep and demonic, and his eyes burning red. "YOU BETTER BELIEVE I'M NOT LOSING A DAUGHTER! SHE'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE! RAAAWWWR!"
The gremlin and the yeti trembled in terror over the vampire king's thunderous temper. But Dracula's sudden explosive anger had left as quickly as it came. He acted like nothing happened while he smiled politely to his guests.
"Anyway, you guys should try the deviled eggs. We have a new chef. Have fun tonight," said Dracula, as he glided away to greet more guests.
A gargoyle chef came flying in carrying a plate of red deviled eggs to the still frozen with fear yeti and gremlin.
Meanwhile Ericka, wearing her hair in a low bun and a fuchsia satin dress with a sweetheart neckline, greeted the werewolf couple, "Hello, Wayne. Hi, Wanda."
"Congratulations, Ericka ," Wanda said, happily. "Ooh, I love your dress."
"Thank you," Ericka responded politely. "By the way, have you Drac?"
"No, I haven't." Wanda shook her head.
"I think I saw him heading upstairs," said Wayne. "Isn't he staying to watch the ceremony?"
"I doubt it, he just paralyzed some of the guests over his daughter," Eunice said brashly, approaching them with Frank escorting her like a gentleman.
Ericka furrowed her eyebrows. Her husband shouldn't be treating his guests this way, especially on his daughter's wedding. She heard of fathers getting emotional on their daughters' wedding days. But on Mavis's wedding, Dracula was taking it particularly hard. "I'll have a word with him," she said.
"I'll go with you," added Frank, following the human countess in tow.
As soon as two friends entered Dracula's and Ericka's chambers, they found the closet door exposed from the wall but there was some movement from within.
"Drac, are you in there?" Ericka asked worriedly, but there was no answer. "Please don't avoid us like this."
"Drac, you gotta come out. It wouldn't be fun without you," said Frank, as he knocked on the closed closet door.
The door swung open and Dracula came out. To Frank and Ericka's surprise, he looked totally awful. His tuxedo had become unbuttoned, extra shoes were on his hands, and his usually smooth hair was mussed up. He was a total wreck.
"Alright! Here I am! Stop yelling at me!" Dracula shouted.
"Uh, what have you been doing?" asked Ericka , feeling awkward over her vampire husband's appearance.
"What do you think, baby?" he snorted. "I'm trying to fantastic for my daughter's wedding before I lose her forever!" His snippy attitude seemed to hurt his wife, who drew back.
"Pull yourself together, buddy!" Frank grasped him by the collar and looked him in the eyes. "You're not losing Mavis. It's just a wedding. Everything's gonna be fine."
"I know that! It's all good!" Dracula snapped, pushing the golem away and swiftly raced up the walls to the ceiling, where the vampire was curled in a pouting position, and left the shoes he had on his hands on the floor.
"Then what are you doing up there?" Frank demanded, now irritated by his friend's attitude.
"I can't go through with it," Dracula sighed, giving in. "I won't make it. She's marrying a human! What if it's all a trick, and he's going to hurt her?"
"Nah, c'mon Drac!" Frank dismissed his friend's worries soothingly. "You know Johnny is a great guy. And the humans love us out there."
"I don't care!" Dracula shouted harshly. "I'm losing my Mavy-Wavy! What if he and his filthy backpack take her away from me forever?"
By now, Ericka was getting fed up with her husband talking nonsense and she wanted to deal with this herself. "Frank, could you excuse us for a moment, please?"
Nodding, Frank left the room.
"Now you listen to me, Count Dracula, everything you're misconducting is all in your head!" Ericka berated him. "Don't you remember your heartfelt speech to Johnny and me on the plane? How if Mavis gave her trust to someone else, you're thankful that it was him, and the fact that you've both become friends? And you told Mavis you wanted her to live her life and go make her own paradise? Or did you not mean any of it?"
Sighing, Dracula knew his wife was right as he frowned guiltily. Elegantly, he floated down from the ceiling and landed gracefully in front of Ericka . "I'm sorry, my love," he sincerely apologized. "I just don't want my little princess to leave me after she gets married."
"Is that what this is all about?" Ericka began straightening out his tie, buttoning up his tuxedo and smoothed his hair back in place. "Have you asked her about that?"
"No, but I have a feeling she will leave me..." And then Dracula came up with an idea that seemed to cheer him up. "Ericka , darling, let's have a baby!"
"What?" Ericka stared at him, not sure if she heard him right.
"Ericka , I want to have another child! We should have more children, that way I won't be so lonely without my Mavy..." Another thought seemed to make Dracula concerned, "...but Mavis will think I'm replacing her with another baby. And if we do have more children, they'll want to see the world like Mavis did, meet someone they love, get married and I'll be alone again."
"You're not alone. You have me," Ericka tried to reassure him.
The vampire smiled genuinely, but he asked sadly, "And will you ever leave me?"
"Never." Ericka declared, throwing her arms around him in an embrace. "I love you, Dracky-Wacky."
"I love you too, Ericka ." Dracula returned a gentle squeeze and planted a loving kiss on her lips.
When their lips parted, Ericka said, "Besides, Mavis won't feel like she's replaced. She'll be ecstatic to be a sister," Ericka assured him, stroking his cheek tenderly. "And as much as I want a baby, I'm not sure if it will happen. I've been to the doctor yesterday but..." She lowered her head sadly.
Dracula looked completely heartbroken at losing his dream of having a baby with Ericka .
"Now the important thing is, right now, you gotta be strong for your little girl. This is her big day and she would be upset if you weren't there," said Ericka, wanting to get straight to the point of her visit. "She's gotta be scared too, since this is a big step for her."
Dracula's eyes widened. He couldn't let his beloved daughter be scared, even for an instant, on her special day. "Okay, I'll try," he said. "For Mavis, and for you." He tenderly stroked Ericka's cheek before he left their chambers in a flash.
No sooner had he gone, Ericka gasped sharply and clutched at her abdomen. "It seems like I gotta be strong myself," she breathed. "And I hope you behave yourself for your sister's wedding," she spoke soothingly to her stomach.
In her what was to be her former bedroom, Mavis was busy getting ready for her wedding. Her monster bridesmaids, Kelsey and Clarabelle and Wendy and Alex and Cindy and her sisters and the Shrunken Head on a cloths-hanger, were helping the young vampiress to get ready when they heard a knock at the door.
The door opened and Dracula poked his head in. His eyes were red and watery, his cheeks were stained from wet tears and his bottom lip trembled.
"Dad? Are you okay?" Mavis asked, concerned.
Dracula entered the room as he wiped a tear from his eye, but he remembered his wife's advice to stay strong. "Of course I am, Mavy. How about you?" he responded, taking her hands into his own and looked gently into her eyes.
Mavis glanced over at her three bridesmaids. They nodded and they all left the room.
"If you try to talk her out of this, you're gonna be sorry!" warned the Shrunken Head.
"Shut up!" Dracula glanced his back to snap at the voodoo head until the door closed behind him.
"What's wrong, Dad?" Mavis asked, wanting to get to the point of her father's visit.
"I'm fine, Mavy." Dracula studied her appearance in her new black wedding gown. She looked so beautiful and radiant. "You look lovely, Honey Bat. You look just like your mother, and your stepmother."
"Thank you, Daddy," Mavis smiled, touched by his compliment, but then she grew worried. "Listen Dad, I love Johnny so much, but am I doing the right in marrying him? He's my zing, but I'm still an immortal teenager."
"Girls mature faster," Dracula assured her, seeing that his wife was right that his daughter was scared. "And you're practically a hundred and nineteen."
"But I didn't realize there's so many things I can do out there!" Mavis sighed, walking up to the open window. "I could get a job as a nuclear pharmacist or a mental hydentist! Or I could help humans, like a social twerker!"
"I never heard of those things, but I believe it's pronounced social worker," Dracula corrected.
"And Dad, if I'm married, am I going to be able to raise a kid right if Johnny and I decide on wanting a baby?" Mavis added.
That last question made Dracula cringe slightly, but he remembered his conversation with Ericka and took a deep breath. "You don't need to rush into things, Honey Bat. Take your time on deciding what kind of job you would like to do if it suits you. As for the wanting a baby thing, I'm sure you'll raise him or her right. After all, you were raised by the coolest dad in the world, right?"
Mavis smiled at her father's kind words. "Thanks, Dad." But she noticed how deeply affected he was by her questions of finding jobs. "Why do you look so sad?"
"It's just..." Dracula hesitated, "the hotel will feel so empty when you and Johnny find a new home after you're married. I know I'll have your stepmother with me, but without having another child to care for, I'll be all alone." He turned into a bat, and his bottom lip quivered and he stared up at his daughter with big sad round red eyes.
"Daaaad, don't give me the pouty bat face," Mavis scolded gently, before she wanted to let him know one important thing. "Listen, this is my home. I love it here and so does Johnny. We want to raise a kid here just like you did."
Hearing this answer, Dracula immediately turned back into his normal form, an ecstatic smile spread across his lips. "Really? You mean it?" She nodded, and he pumped a fist in the air. "Hooray! She's staying!"
A knock came at the door, and Wendy poked her head in. "Mavis, it's almost time!" she called.
Smiling happily at each other, Dracula and Mavis walked out together arm-in-arm.
Back in the lobby, a family of five humans walked through the revolving door, all wearing formal clothes for the upcoming wedding, and a guard announced their presence loudly.
"Mr. and Mrs. Loughran, the parents of the groom and family!"
Every monster in the lobby froze in place and stared at the new humans, though some they had seen at the last wedding, the one of Dracula and his new love Ericka . Both the humans and the monsters stared uncomfortably at each other while the humans walked down the carpet, but the Loughrans smiled warmly when Johnny came and greeted his family with warm hugs.
"Mom and Dad! I can't believe you're all here!" he shouted happily as his family greeted him with hugs and smiles.
"Johnny!" Linda greeted excitedly as Johnny embraced her.
Everyone then gathered to take pictures together; first the groom with his backpack with a black bowtie, Hank, Pedro, Blobby, and Johnny's two brothers Kent and Brett as groomsmen; then Mavis with five of her monster friends Wendy,Alex and Kelsey and Clarabelle and Charlotte and Sophie, the shrunken door head, and Johnny's sister Melissa as bridesmaids, but Mavis didn't show up due to being a vampire; then one of the entire family, including the Loughrans, Ericka, Johnny, Mavis and Dracula. But father and daughter didn't show up in the photo due to being vampires.
The wedding took place outside on a beautiful clear night, dozens of little bats held up sparkling pink curtains for the ceremony. Humans sat on one side of the area for the groom, and monsters sat on the other side of the area for the bride. Even the Drac Pack was there on the Bride's side. The wolf pups ran through the two aisles, startling the monsters and humans. Murray escorted his wife, the lovely female mummy, to her seat like a gentleman and he got all giddy to be seated with such a beautiful mummy.
"Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah! Yo! How cool is it that mavis is get married?" Murray asked Griffin, tell his friend , with his wife.
"So cool!" replied Griffin the Invisible Man. "What do you say honey?" He gestured to an empty seat beside him.
"You've got a wife?" Murray questioned, puzzled.
"Yeah! She's invisible. That's why you can't see her," said Griffin.
"Oh, yeah," Frank doubted sarcastically and did a quote gesture. "This is the one from Canada."
"Shh! Wedding's starting," Griffin hushed the golem.
Johnny stood at the altar with his backpack. His brother Kent was a groomsman, including Hank and Pedro. Wendy,Alex,Sibella,Draculaura and Johnny's sister Melissa and Mavis's friend Clarabelle were bridesmaids, including the shrunken head. Down the aisle came Johnny's second brother Brett with Mavis's other monster friend Kelsey. A purple-faced hag waved hello, and Kelsey gestured towards Brett and did a gagging sound to indicate what she thought of him.
A little red-haired girl, a distant a relative of Johnny's, came down the aisle as a flower girl. She carried a teddy bear and a basket of black roses. The grooms side of all humans going 'aww.' Suddenly she was attacked by a slew of rampaging werewolf pups, shredding the flowers and one of them ran off with her teddy bear. She was suddenly released and the little girl was a disheveled mess. The humans were shocked at the violence the little girl received, but the bride's side of all monsters thought it was cute and went 'aww.' Ericka felt sorry for the little girl, and managed to snatch the nearly chewed up teddy bear from the werewolf pup and returned it to the dizzy flower girl.
It was time for the bride to appear a song played in the background called We're in Heaven by Dj Sammy.
Oh, thinking about our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now, nothing can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me coming back for more
-[CHORUS]-
Baby, you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Oh, once in your life
you find someone,who wil turn your world around
pick you up when your feeling down
Now, nothing can change what you mean to me
There's a lot that I could say
But just hold me now
'Cause our love will light the way
-[CHORUS]-
Baby, you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
I've been waiting for someone
something to arrive
love to come along
Now our dreams are coming true
Through the good times
And the bad
I'll be standing there by you
Baby, you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh
We're in heaven
Everyone then looked to the start of aisle. Slowly and dramatically, Mavis was ready to walk down the aisle and she wore a beautiful black wedding dress with a silver tiara with a silver spider wed style veil. All eyes were filled with happy tears as they turned to face her. As she walked down the aisle, her proud and tearful father, Count Dracula, smiled widely as he imagined Mavis as his little girl in her wedding gown.
At the altar, the same skeleton minister that married Dracula and Ericka a year ago married Johnny and Mavis. When he asked the crowd if they had any objections to why the couple should not joined together, Ericka glowered at Dracula, making sure he kept his mouth shut and the scared look on his face told her he obeyed. The two couples exchanged their I dos. Johnny gently placed the ring on Mavis's finger. Dracula's eyes were so wide he'd look like he was ready to burst into tears. It was time for the bride and groom to kiss. When suddenly three boys from the village named Jim, Joe and Tom burst into the altar and took Mavis away.
Johnny ran after them so he can marry his zing but the three boys had guns and they were working James. So Johnny and the Drac pack went save Mavis from the three mean boys who took her away.
Jim : Joe you should be the justice of the peace and Tom you should be the ring boy
Joe and Tom : got it
Joe : We are here today to honor the marriage between Joe and Mavis in holy matrimony. If anyone objects to this marriage let them speak now or forever hold your peace.
Dracula : What are you doing to my daughter.
Joe: I'm going to marry your daughter almost father-in-law.
Johnny:Excuse me could I please have my almost wife back.
When they say no they started to fight and as soon as the dust cleared Johnny and the Drac Pack went back home with a safe Mavis in Johnny's arms. and they went back to the altar to get married properly and when the minister said you may kiss the bride Johnny and Mavis closed their eyes in joy while they smiled as they kissed. Everyone cheered and applauded for the newlyweds. Dracula stood up and cheered the loudest, and his wife, his in-laws, and his friends had pleased expressions.
"Wonderful ," Griffin cheered happily at Dracula.
Soon the wedding reception began. Marty the palest Gillman, gave a heartfelt, poetic, blubbered, and completely unintelligible song called you got a friend in me by the Gypsy King for the young couple, which made all of the monsters tear up. Ericka sat beside Dracula, who sat next to Mavis, and she was seated next to Johnny. The four of them teared up by Marty's song.
Hay un amigo en mi Hay un amigo en mi Cuando salgas a volar Hay un amigo en mi Si, un amigo en mi Hay un amigo en mi Hay un amigo en mi Hay un amigo en mi Cuando salgas a volar Hay un amigo en mi Si, un amigo en mi Hay un amigo en mi Hay muchos que pueden ser Un poco más listos Mas nunca habrá quien pueda ser Un amigo fiel Que tú lo sabes Los años pasarán Lo nuestro no morirá Lo vas a ver, mejor tener Un buen amigo en mí Hay un amigo en mí Un buen amigo en mí Hay un amigo en mí
"True, so true, Marty," Johnny said as he raised his glass to the Gillman. But all the humans, mostly Mike and Linda, didn't understand it at all and exchanged confused expressions.
Ericka then gave his own heart touching speech to the young couple. "Congratulations, Mavis and Johnny. I've always been proud to call you my friends and now we are the family I always knew we were. Johnny, I've come to love you like a son and now I know you will be the man Mavis deserves. Mavis, you became my friend because we bonded over our overprotective fathers, but I'm so proud to call you my daughter. May you be as happy forever as you are now and the day you zinged." Mavis teared up at her stepmother's heartfelt speech. "And Drac…" Dracula smiled adorably at his name mentioned, until Ericka announced dryly through the microphone, "The flowers were on your head throughout the ceremony." All of the monsters and all of the humans burst out laughing. Dracula blushed to his shear embarrassment.
Now it was time for the bride and groom to cut the cake. The white wedding cake screeched in horror as Mavis and Johnny cut it. The cake slice shrieked like a child separated from its mother. Pieces were served to Johnny's siblings by zombie waiters, and these slices screamed as they jumped off of the plates and shrieked as though little children crying for their mommy. Johnny's siblings felt uneasy to have shrieking cake slices in front them.
Up next, the monsters and the humans gathered together on the dance floor for romantic slow dancing. Every monster couple and human couple swayed slowly on the dance floor.
"Aw, how sweet," said an old gremlin lady as she looked at two female monsters dancing on Bigfoot's ankle.
Blobby came up to Mike and Linda and tapped Mike on the shoulder to cut in gentlemanly to dance with Linda. "Oh, my, look at you," Linda said a bit awkwardly when Blobby tried to dance with Linda, but accidently sucked her in. Johnny quickly came and pulled his mother out from Blobby and pulled globs of him out from her hair as she gasped in surprise.
Dracula and Ericka danced together, while the vampire moaned, "Look, I'm happy for my daughter . She's just my Mavy-Wavy..."
"Mavis," Ericka corrected him, "is grown up now and starting a new chapter of her life, just as we did."
"Yes, yes," he groaned. "And why didn't you tell me that the flowers were on my head before the wedding?"
"Cause it served you right! Look, if things are going to get better between humans and monsters, you have to let go of your past problems. Besides, if my family was here, they wouldn't get used to having vampires as relatives, especially my brother . He would try to help us kiss at our wedding if he were there." Ericka looked away melancholy eyes.
"That doesn't matter, but you're right about human and monster relations," Dracula soothingly reassured her, pulling her even closer to his chest. "That began the night I first met and saved your life, and ever since we met, I've been the happiest vampire in the world."
"Oh, Dracula," Ericka sighed lovingly, leaning in on his broad shoulder.
Dracula slowly dipped in and pressed his lips against hers. Then she laid her head on his chest for the rest of their dance.
Later, Johnny and Mavis swayed slowly together, gazing lovingly into each other's eyes. But it was time for the bride to dance with her father and the groom to dance with his mother. Dracula politely cleared his throat as he held his hand out to dance with Mavis and she placed her hand into his own. Linda lightly tapped Johnny on the shoulder and she went to dance with her son. Everyone watched in awe as Dracula and Mavis danced up the wall and onto the ceiling near the crystal chandelier. Johnny and Linda watched them in awe as they danced on the floor below.
"Is it everything you ever wanted, my little Poisonberry?" Dracula asked his daughter as he spun her around.
"Oh, it is, Daddy," Mavis replied happily as she leaned into him against her father's chest, but then she asked, "Except where's Grandpa Vlad?"
"Honey, your gramps would not have been cool with this, he's old school," Dracula told her.
"How do we know?" Mavis questioned as her father stepped back and spun her, "If he could just meet Mom and Johnny…"
"He would've eaten them. He's not as enlightened as your hip daddy."
"So, you're really okay with him not being a monster?"
"I'm married to Ericka. So human, monster, unicorn. As long as you are happy." Dracula lovingly touched her chin angling her face towards him.
"Thanks, Dad." Mavis smiled.
The lights in the crystal chandelier illuminated brightly as father and daughter gazed into each other's eyes happily.
To end this magical evening, Dracula gave his wedding present to Mavis and Johnny, a song he played for them, but mostly for Mavis, on his old ukulele, the tune similar to the one he sang to her as a little girl decades ago.
"…and you'll always be my moonlight, but now on wings of love you soar, now that you're Johnny's girl, Johnny's girl, and kind of Daddy's too, your Mom would be so happy cause she always knew, love is making room for all the best in you."
Everyone started applauding and many guests, monsters and humans, teared up at this heart-touching song. Kelsey got so choked in tears that she wrapped her tentacle arms around a surprised Brett and began kissing him. Hank, Alex started wailing on an annoyed Pedro's shoulders. Wanda wiped away her own tears of happiness. Mike and Linda gave their applause, but Bigfoot got so choked up that a giant drop fell mistakenly onto Linda, soaking her entire body. She breathed heavily while Mike kindly handed her a hankie from his dress coat.
The wedding reception was nearing its end. An applauding Ericka realized she almost forgot her surprise. Quickly, she walked to the center of the room and took the microphone, smiling eagerly and ready to give her surprise wedding gift to the young couple and to her husband.
"Thank you, Drac. I hope everyone's had a wonderful time. And congratulations to the newlyweds. But before we end our party, me and Eunice have one last announcement for everyone." Ericka, Eunice grinned, trying so hard to contain their excitement. "Two families were just getting a little bigger tonight, and it's going to get bigger yet. Soon we're going to have another addition to the family because..." They pulled back their dressed cloaks slightly to reveal two baby bumps on their stomach. We're pregnant."
Suddenly, the audience exploded into extremely loud, thrilling cheers. Mavis squealed, and she began jumping up and down ecstatically. Johnny presented a thumbs-up. Wanda and the girls could no longer keep their squeals of delight inside. The Drac Pack exchanged delighted expressions. Hank, Alex Pedro and Wendy screamed excitedly.
For a moment, Dracula,Frank stared at their wives until they got so excited. Frank's brother flew around the ballroom in bat form while he released a high pitched squeal and bellowed, "WE'RE GONNA BE DADDIES!" He punched the air, and then started doing a Michael Jackson moonwalk in the air,while his brother Frank kissed his wife belly..
One prickly monster covered in spikes got so choked up, he hugged Johnny's brother Kent as if he were a teddy bear. It made him groan in pain at being held in his spike-covered body that Mike quickly had to pull him out of the prickly monster's embrace.
