Zing 2! : Family Problems

Chapter 10: Split P.O.V.

The lake was lit up nicely from the moon. "Whoa!" yelled Elisabeth. "Oh yeah! This is how I rolled every sixth summer!" Lis did a flip and let go of the rope.

Mavis circled back so Elisabeth could climb up on to the boat. "Looking good out there. I didn't know you could do that!"

"Yeah. I picked up some stuff when I was younger." Lis takes the wheel from Mavis. "Now it's your turn. Show me what you got girl!"

Mavis smiled as she pulled out the mini sized water skis and transformed into a bat. She strapped them to her bat feet. Mavis put the rope handle in her mouth, and began flying and doing amazing flips. "Water skiing's so much fun!" she yelled accidentally dropping the handle. She swooped back onto the boat.

"Yeah. That's not technically waterskiing. You gotta be touching the water for that. But still pretty great. We should probably go back to the hotel soon so they don't clear our room and give it to someone else."

Mavis switches back into human form. "Sure! I could use some food anyway." Her stomach rumbles.

"I gotta say, I love Santa Cruse." Lis smiled as she drove the boat to the nearest loading dock. "What an awesome place it would have been to spend my summer. I went to raves every other night when I was younger." She looked around to make sure this was where they had gotten the boat from. "I could never imagine a life like I had for my kids..." She smiled. "...and I'm glad I won't ever have to, thanks to your dad." They left the keys in the ignition of the boat and took their skis. I hope they don't notice the gas level lowered.

"It sounds awesome."

"Oh... I don't know about 'awesome'... well maybe... but nothing is as awesome as the hotel."

INT. JAIL - CONTINUOUS

In a jail Frankenstein, Murray, and Jack sat in a cell with a creepy, skinny, heavily tattooed cell mate named Buck. Across from the cell is another containing Dracula, Martha, and Lis.

Frankenstein was upset and his shirt was singed. "What'd I tell you guys? Fire bad. Fire. Bad." Frank climbed onto a top bunk.

Buck smiled menacingly at Murray, who was terrified, from the bottom bunk under Frankenstein. "Well, well. Looks like we got some fresh toilet paper."

Jack yelled to Dracula, "Dad...how 'bout gettin' us out of here! Ya know, before this guy does something inappropriate to Murry?"

Dracula called back, "You know we have to obey human laws."

Martha was about to cry. "Are we bad guys, Daddy?"

Dracula responds quickly. "No, no, no, Martha, you could never be a bad guy. You're the nicest girl in the world! We're just playing pretend here, and you're -

Martha interrupted, "Wonder Woman!"

"Uh, yes...the Wonder Woman, and I'm the bad guy and you are locking me in jail.

"Cebause Wonder Woman's the toughest and strongest person in the world."

"Yep," sad Lis to entertain Martha. "She's the best!"

"Get in that jail bad guy!" Martha pointed at Dracula. "Cebause I'm Wonder Woman and you'll never escape my golden lasso!"

"Oh, no! Don't lasso me, Wonder Woman!" cried Dracula playfully.

"You better be good! Or..." Martha thought for a second. "Or Murray's gonna sit on you!"

Dracula laughed. "Oh, no! Not the mega-tushy! Noooo!"

Murray looked at Dracula. "What's this now?"

As Martha laughed, Dracula heard a faint sound from his phone and took it out. He gaped. "What? It's Mavis?"

Wayne, suddenly alert, called out, "Hang up! You must've butt-dialed her."

Dracula, not completely aware of what this meant, looked at his butt and yelled, "Why would my butt do that to me?" He hung up quickly.

"Murray's tushy did it!" laughed Martha.

Dracula, now panicking, yelled "She's gonna call back!"
