"I think he hates me."
Mavis glanced over at her boyfriend sitting in the corner going through his backpack. His shoulders tense, in fear or frustration, she could not tell. "I think he likes you."
"All he did is sit there and stared at me," Johnny exclaimed, nearly pulling out his hair. "I know that meeting with him, means a lot to you along with his approval. Do not get me wrong though. The dude is cool! I mean, the Boogeyman! The dude is just as cool as I remembered!"
Johnny jumped around the room in total excitement at meeting Pitch Black, The King of Nightmares. A curt knock sounded off through the room causing Mavis placed down a magazine she was reading and stood up heading towards the door of her room. Opening the door, she saw Pitch Black standing in front of her door waiting. Johnny by now stopped his sudden outburst and stared at Pitch with a deer caught in the headlights look.
"May I have a word in private with Jonathan." Pitch asked politely to Mavis. "It would only take a moment."
Mavis glanced back at her boyfriend to see him mouthing at her to not leave him. "I'll be at the lobby if you need me."
Pitch moved aside to allow Mavis to walk off and silently entered the room closing the door behind him. Turning his total attention to Johnny, Pitch stood there examining him.
The two of them stared at each other, not breaking the one-sided awkward silence.
"When are you going to official ask Dracula for Mavis's hand in marriage?"
-.-
On the other side of the door, Mavis and Dracula had an ear pressed against to the door of Mavis's room listening in to the conversation between Johnny and Pitch.
Mavis dabbed her eyes with a cloth that her offered to her as she listened to Johnny speech about how much he loves her and wanting to officially get permission from not only from her father but also from her godfather. She handed back the cloth to her father after seeing him trying to fight back the tears. After Johnny finished, silence quickly followed.
Father and daughter glanced at each other as worry filled within them. Laughter filled the room making them jumped back in surprise. They heard Johnny and Pitch talking about Johnny's backpacking travels through Europe. It appeared that they found common ground. Traveling.
-.-
"He's been EVERYWHERE! The guy is so COOL!"
-.-
"He's acceptable for Mavis."
"That's it? No death threats? Anything?" Dracula said in shock.
Pitch ignored him in favor of reading a book and drinking a cup of iced tea.
