No one POV

“N-27.” A tiny skeleton head whispered
“N-27.” The elderly Gremlin repeated.
The room was silent and the only happy person was Dracula. Y/n stared at her bingo card as she was drifting to sleep. Maven gazed at her with a smile, he suddenly noticed her head drooping dangerously close to the table. Reacting quickly, he reached out and placed his hand on the table just in time to prevent her from hitting it. With a gentle and protective touch, he then guided her head to rest on his shoulder, ensuring her safety and comfort.
“Bingo! Bingo!” Eunice shouted excitedly then an elderly Gremlin ate her card making her pissed. “How dare you! Do you know what doctor made me?”
“I didn’t do that.”
~~~~~
Two teams were playing charades while everyone else was bored. Dracula sat in between Y/n and Maven preventing them from getting close.
Y/n was somewhat watching them guess but they were awful at it. Then she felt Johnny tabbing her on the shoulder. He handed her a skateboard.
“Is this my skateboard? I thought you said you only have things you own in that backpack?” She glanced at him, crossing her arms.
“I swear I only have your skateboard, now let's show these guys some fun.” Johnny got up and held his scooter. Y/n hesitated but half of her wanted to skate. She looked over at Maven who seemed extremely bored. She nodded to Johnny who gave her a thumbs up. He glided through the two teams who stared at him interested. He then stopped and looked over to Y/n. Everyone looked over at Y/n confused. She winked at Maven, and then tossed her skateboard towards Johnny, who fumbled but managed to catch it. With a quick placement on the ground, she leaped into the air, causing a mix of reactions from the monsters around - some shielding their eyes, others leaning in with excitement. Performing a flawless flip, she landed gracefully back on her skateboard, which began to roll smoothly beneath her feet. Johnny joined her on his own scooter, and together they glided effortlessly across the floor, captivating the attention of everyone in the room. When they finished everyone ran towards them trying to do it also.
Y/n looked over to Maven to see him not there. She tilted her head in confusion, the furrow of her brow deepening as she tried to make sense of the situation. Suddenly, she felt a warm hand gently rest on her waist, sending a shiver of anticipation down her spine. Gasping in surprise, she quickly turned around to find herself face to face with a pair of intense, ocean eyes.
“Hi.” She smiles at Maven.
“Hey.” He couldn't help but notice the stray strand of hair that fell across her face, framing her delicate features in a way that was both alluring and irresistible. With a gentle touch, he reached out and pushed it back behind her ear.
“Y/n! That monster ate my skateboard!” Johnny pointed at the elderly Gremlin.
~~~~~
“You both have been to Taj Mahal?” Eunice asked interest.
“Come on. No monster’s been to the Taj.” Murray answered Eunice as he ate his alive bugs.
“Man, I wish I could go there.” Maven rested his hands on Y/n's hand. The action surprised Y/n but she softly smiled at him.
“Yeah, it does get pretty crazy in the summer, but you know, you just gotta roll.” Johnny smiled at everyone while acting like a thug which made Y/n roll her eyes.
“Look, love droppings, I brought you a bagel with your favorite, scream cheese.” Dracula removed Maven's hand away from Y/n.
“Holy rabies! Thanks, Dad! Y/n, Johnny, try some scream cheese, it’s awesome.” He offered it to Y/n who politely smiled at Maven.
“I'm sorry but we're scream cheese intolerant. So, polite pass.” Johnny nodded aggressively behind her, afraid the cookie might bite him.
Y/n POV

“Yes, of course you are. Y/n, Johnny, can we party-plan talk for a minute?” He asked as we got up, he then dragged us away and whispered. “What are you doing? If they find out you're human, they’ll go bat-poop!”
“Relax! No one suspects anything. The only thing that looks weird is how much whispering you’re doing.” I nodded at Johnny's statement, Dracula looked up and noticed everyone looking.
“You seemed troubled.” I glanced back as he was pushing us. I swear he's been pushing and dragging us around.
“Just wrap it up! You will say you are going in the pool and act excited. And then you will say you hurt your back and you have to leave!” Me and Johnny shared a look before nodding. “Great!”
“I'm so excited to take a swim! Right Y/n!” Johnny stood by the pool.
“Yes! The water is so….ew…”
“Y/n! Oh! Oh my back!”
“I'm on your back!” A monster shouted getting on his back.
“No he said ‘oh my back’ not get-” I couldn't finish my sentence since Johnny decided it was a brilliant idea to have a monster perched on his shoulder while he chicken fought in the pool. Just as I was about to walk away, I suddenly felt myself being lifted up into the air. Looking down, I saw Maven grinning mischievously at me. Before I could protest, he had his hands firmly on my thighs, making sure I didn't come crashing down when he jumped into the pull.
“You're going down sis!” Johnny shouted at me.
“Not if I get you first baby brother!” I shouted back.
I joined hands with the monster on Johnny's back, trying to push him off. Suddenly Johnny fell down along with his partner.
“That's cheating Maven!” Johnny came out of the water and glared at Maven who looked away smirking.
“Johnny! Y/n! Your makeup. Your makeup! Timeout. Now.” I looked over at Dracula who was pulled into the water.
“Oh, man! I guess the Count wanted to go for a swim.” Everyone began to chuckle while I stared at where the Dracula fell, although the water was greenish I could tell he was pissed.
All of the sudden Johnny was lifted up into the air by a tentacle.
“Cannonball!” Johnny jumped off.
“Johnny!” In a moment of panic, I shouted and felt myself losing my balance on Maven's shoulder. However, his quick reflexes and strong grip prevented me from slipping and potentially falling.
“Thank you.” I smiled down at him.
“You're welcome.” He smiled up at me.
I then looked up remembering Johnny was falling down, but somehow he was inside a jelly monster.
