The Monstrous Getaway [The Little Vampire 3D x Hotel Transylvania] |Rudony|

Checked in

"Frederick, is that really you?!"

"Dracula, it's been centuries!"

The two patriarch vampires exchange quick embraces before pulling back and settling on handshakes. Dracula did send out notices and invitations regarding his and Ericka's Winter wedding, even one to Frederick's family. But it was mostly out of courtesy to their old friendship; he didn't think he'd ever see his confidante again but it was definitely a welcome surprise.

Still, Dracula had to make certain that everything would be okay.

"It's so great to see you again," The count said, "But after all this time, what changed your mind? That is... there are a few humans living in this hotel with me, you know."

Frederick chuckled, waving a dismissive hand, "It's a long story." he said, turning to his wife. "How would you, ah, say... shorten it, my love?"

"By an introduction," Freda smiled, sensing her children coming by. She turned, and finds Gregory with Anna, Rudolph, and Tony at tow. "Allow me to introduce our children, Gregory, Anna, Rudolph and their human friend, Tony Thompson."

The vampire siblings gave the count curt bows while Tony stared openly, mouth agape, towards Dracula who blinks right back at him in return.

"A human... friend?" Dracula looked back at Frederick, "you really allowed your kids to befriend a human? Wow, I want to hear this long story."

Frederick smiled, putting a hand on Dracula's shoulder. "I guess a 'catching up' session is in order." Dracula stared at him, "Um, it's an expression Tony taught us. Did I use it right, my boy?"

"No, no, you did." Dracula was the one to reply, "But I just didn't expect you to know about it this early into your human acceptance. Speaking of, let's have you all checked in first before we have this conversation."

The Count led the family to the reception desk, where his daughter was. "Hey dad," she smiled, before blinking in astonishment at the sight of the Sackville-Bagg family. It was her first time seeing vampires outside her own family. "Oh, who are they?"

"Mavis, honey, you may have forgotten but this is your godfather, Frederick Sackville-Bagg. He's with his family and will be joining us for a while." Dracula says, "be sure to give them the best room. Free of charge."

Frederick stared at his friend, "'Charge'? I'm not familiar with that word used in that context."

"Oh, it means you don't have to pay money."

Freda frowned, "Money? Why would monsters need that?"

Both Dracula and Mavis blinked, staring at each other before the older vampire looks back to his friend. "Wow, how long have you lived in your vault?"

"Until much recently." Freda answered, "We just moved into a castle last year."

Dracula figured that he would have to make the entire stay and use of amenities free of charge till the family fully grasp modern monster life. But it was a small price to pay to have his best friend back in his life.

"All right, the best room we have to offer." Mavis said, holding out a fancy, golden, skeleton key. "let me just call a bell hop to help you carry your luggage to the suite."

Dracula waved a dismissive hand, "It's fine, allow me." he said, waving his hand and casting a spell to carry the luggages. "Mavis, have Blobby cover your shift. Why don't you get acquainted with the Sackville-Bagg kiddies?" Gregory cleared his throat at that, "Oh, and teenager. Show them around."

"Sure," Mavis shrugged, smiling. She casts her own spell, and in the next moment, a green, slime creature floated over heard. The female vampire flew out of the way before settling the slime behind the counter. She beamed at the vampire youths, "well, nice to meet you all. I'm Mavis Dracula-Loughran."

Tony was hovering somewhere between fanboying and freaking out after meeting the actual COUNT DRACULA. Rudolph looked at his best friend, amused. After resolving the whole Rookery matter, he and Tony spent the rest of the summer learning about each other's respective worlds... well, after making sure his clan understood that they couldn't bite any of the Thompsons', especially Tony. The blond told him about a book written by some Bram Stoker fellow, that it was about Dracula. After meeting his father's friend, the fellow definitely got the personality wrong.

Or maybe this Dracula just got in with the times, unlike their family. Then again, the book was about this Dracula's father, but maybe he didn't want to be the one bursting Tony's bubble.

The daughter was a surprise though.

"I'm Mavis Dracula-Loughran."

"Gregory Sackville-Bagg, pleasure to meet you." Gregory smiled, offering his hand.

Mavis took it and Gregory plants a kiss on it. Mavis was taken aback by the gesture, but didn't oppose it. She did observe that the family did seem a tad old-fashioned. Gregory definitely found her attractive, but any further affection was out of the question; he could sense that she already had a mate. He already knew that prior to meeting her, so the Zing link only confirmed the fact. It was a shame, she was lovely, but it was beneath Gregory to steal someone else's mate.

"these are my brother and sister, Rudolph and Anna Sackville-Bagg. Respectively." Gregory continued, "and the human boy, he's Tony."

Mavis grins, showing off her fangs. "Yeah, obviously, he kinda stands out." she leaned forward, a bit so that she's near Tony's level. "Hi there. You know, my husband's a human. I have a son who's half a human, and a future stepmom that's human, too. So you don't have to be nervous; we're a human-friendly, monster hotel."

"Oh, uh, heh..." Tony chuckled awkwardly, "did I really look that nervous?"

Mavis smiled, "A bit, yeah. The shaking gave it away," she quipped, "it stopped now." she stood up straight once more. "Well, shall we?"

NOTEs:

was thinking of making a Mavis-Johnny split drama just so Gregory could have his own couple later, but I can't do it. Mavis and Johnny are too pure to break up. So now, I'm stuck leaving him single or maybe I'll ship him with Jack Frost or something. I don't know. We'll see.

On a side note, figured that the Sackle-Bagg family wouldn't be aware of currency needs due to the fact that they're old school, pretty much like Dracula's father in the second movie until he was joined into the family.
