My Partner's a Monster

Chapter 1

In Romania, Megan played music and lured her brother, Joseph, out of his room. Megan then sang the first verse while she walked up to Joseph. Joseph sang the second verse and strode up to Megan. They looked at each other and sang a duet together when they reached where the other stood. While they were singing, a woman named Anjelica walked by their house and heard them singing together. She thought they sounded so good together that she looked in their window and videotaped them singing together. When the song was over, Megan and Joseph stopped singing and kissed since they were singing a love song. Anjelica then uploaded the video to the internet, and it got over twenty million hits overnight.

The next day, Joseph walked into town and saw everyone looking at him. Joseph wondered why everyone was looking at him. Then he found out why, when he found a copy of the newspaper, he saw Megan's and his picture on the front page and read the story. Joseph brought the newspaper to his sister, who read it aloud. Megan said, "'BROTHER AND SISTER DO DUET. Megan and Joseph Versie sing a duet to the world and kiss to represent their sibling love.'"

Joseph found their performance on his computer and showed it to Megan. Megan and Joseph then looked at Joseph's laptop and watched themselves sing the song they sang yesterday together and then kiss in the end. Megan said, "Man, they love us." Joseph stated, "Yes, but we were singing. And that kiss was to end the performance." Megan stated, "True." Joseph said, "I'll be in my room." All day, Joseph worked on a new song for him and Megan to perform, and when he got it right, he went downstairs and shut all the windows and blinds so no one would hear them. Megan said, "What's with the lockdown?" Joseph stated, "It's just for a minute while I sing you my new song." Joseph sat down on the sofa with Megan, played his guitar, and started to sing. Megan liked it so much that she began to sing with him, and they sounded great together. Megan then sang alone for a minute, and they finished the song when Joseph joined back in. Megan said, "Great song, Joseph." Joseph stated, "Thanks. I can't wait to perform it at Bird Karaoke." Megan said, "Bird Karaoke?" Joseph declared, "Yeah. They call it that because you can eat and sing like a bird."

Later that day, Megan and Joseph performed Joseph's song at a Bird Karaoke. Joseph played his guitar and sang with Megan while she danced. Joseph and Megan then walked towards each other and sang the song's last verse together. Then they both smiled at each other, looked at the audience, and bowed while the audience clapped. After they performed, a girl named Angelica stepped out on stage, and when Joseph saw Angelica, his eyes glowed pink.

Angelica then pointed at the DJ, and he started the music. When he did, Angelica took the microphone and began to sing. She sang like an angel, and when she finished, the audience clapped for her and then voted over which act was better. Megan and Joseph got 41 votes, and Angelica got 59 votes. The restaurant owner, Ron, gave Angelica the trophy and said, "Angelica's our winner." The audience then clapped for Angelica while Megan left. Megan returned, grabbed her brother, and dragged him out the door. Megan said, "Time to go, Joseph." After they departed, Megan slapped Joseph because she thought he was entranced. Megan stated, "Joseph, wake up. Never thought I would do this, but I have no choice." Megan dragged Joseph to the fountain and threw him in. Once she did, Joseph woke up and said, "Why'd you do that?" Megan stated, "You were in a trance, and I had to wake you up." Joseph put his elbows on the fountain and his hands on his cheeks. Joseph said, "I wasn't in a trance but dreaming. But thanks for waking me up. Now let's go home." Joseph's clothes dried out from the sun on their way home.

Once they were home, Joseph went to his room and started playing music on his stereo since he was too depressed to play any. Joseph then looked out his window and saw it raining. He saw Angelica walking by and hid from her because he was too embarrassed to visit her. Angelica looked up and thought she had nothing to worry about since she saw Joseph's curtains shut. Since she believed nobody was watching her, Angelica ignored that Joseph's curtains were closed and went home.

The next day, to celebrate Transylvania being vampire-free, the whole town celebrated with a party at An Alright Fright Bite. They started with a hoedown song with Joseph as the leader. Before Joseph began, he spotted Angelica in the crowd and saw her run further into the crew. Then Joseph felt depressed, walked onto the stage, and started to sing. Everyone in the audience began to clap to Joseph's music and did what he sang. Then, they all separated and clapped three times. The audience then grabbed a partner, danced with whom they got paired, and did what Joseph was singing in his song. Then Joseph walked off stage into the audience while singing and started synchronizing dance with them. The whole audience still did as Joseph sang in his music. Joseph then danced back up on stage. When he finished, the entire audience clapped for him.

Different music then played, and everyone at the party started to dance. Angelica spotted Joseph and hid, but Joseph found her. Joseph said, "Angelica." Angelica got nervous and stated, "Oh, Joseph." Joseph crossed his arms and declared, "If I didn't know better, I'd say you were avoiding me." Angelica said, "Avoiding? Why would I do that?" Joseph bought it and stated, "OK, but I'm slightly disappointed. I was hoping you'd ask me to dance." Angelica took an interest and said, "Oh."

Angelica and Joseph then danced while Megan and Joseph's best friend, Franco, watched. Megan said, "I can't believe Joseph is dancing with the person who beat us out the other night." Franco stated, "I can. It was her idea." Franco gave Megan his hand and asked, "Would you like to dance?" Megan then took Franco's hand, and they danced together, just like Joseph and Angelica. Joseph and Angelica then came together. Joseph said, "I had doubts about you, and so did my sister, but I think I like you." Angelica said, "That makes two of us. I think I like you too." Joseph then dipped Angelica and pulled her back up. Joseph kissed Angelica's hand and said, "Thank you for the lovely dance."

Once they finished dancing, Joseph got a perfect idea. Joseph took Angelica outside, and it started to rain. Angelica said, "Joseph, it's raining out here." Joseph stated, "I know." Angelica said, "OK, Joseph, I know where this is going, and I think it's romantic." Joseph stated, "You do?" Angelica said, "Does this answer your question?" Angelica and Joseph kissed in the rain, and Megan saw them through the window. Joseph and Angelica hugged, and Franco thought they belonged together when he witnessed them. Joseph then saw Franco in the window, and when he let go of Angelica, Franco gave Joseph the thumbs up while Joseph smiled at him.
