Zing 2! : Family Problems

Chapter 11: Liz's P.O.V.

The phone starts ringing.

Lis takes the phone from her dad. "Okay. Don't panic, dad. There's an app that can help us here."

Dracula was confused. "Who's an app?"

Lis scrolled quickly through the picture library. "I just need a picture of the hotel. Ah! Got it! Look at that!"

Lis showed Dracula that they are now photo shopped into the background photo of a hotel room

"That's insane, man!" yelled Dracula. "It's like voodoo stuff."

"I picked some up from mom but this really isn't voodoo." Lis shook her head.

"What are you playing with?" Martha asked

Dracula showed Martha the phone. "This is the best, Martha! Now we're going to play where we pretend we're at home! We're gonna play with Mommy, she loves this game! Okay??"

Martha jumps up and down. "Yay! More pretend!"

Dracula answers the phone innocently and sees Mavis and Elisabeth in the car on the way back to the hotel. "Yes! Hello?" he says.

"Hi Mommy!" Martha calls pushing her way on to the screen.

"Hi, Martha! My little one! I love you! Are you having fun?" Elisabeth pulled the car over to talk on Mavis's phone.

"Yes!" answered Dracula before Martha said anything. "We're having fun, at home!"

Buck, a highly tattoo human, yelled across the room, "Hey shut up! Tryin' to sleep here!"

"Heh! That's the... um... the radio?" said Lis trying to cover as she adjusted her hair. I'm a horrible liar.

Dracula quickly waves his finger causing Frankenstein's top bunk to collapse on Buck in the lower bunk. Dracula looked to Lis. "Where's the volume button?" Dracula looks but accidentally hits a button on screen.

"No, no, no," cried Lis as their background changed to a beach, a stock image from the app.

"What's going on?" Mavis asked.

Dracula didn't notice the change. "Nothing, we're home."

Lis frantically grabbed the phone and scrolled. They appeared to be in front of a rollercoaster now.

Mavis yelled, "You are not home!"

Martha waved her hands in the air and giggled. "Yay! Rollercoaster!"

"Where are you?" yelled Elisabeth.

"Ehh...a rollercoaster...whee!" Dracula desperately waved his hands and shook his face like he was absorbing the force of a rollercoaster as Martha grabbed the phone.

"I wanna play!" Martha scrolled it this time and pulled up the real image of the jail cell! But Dracula is oblivious and continues as if he's on the fake rollercoaster.

Mavis starred perplexed at the phone. "What are you doing?"

"We're rollercoastering."

"Look! Jail!" said Martha as Lis face palmed herself.

Elisabeth took the phone out of Mavis's hand. "Jail?"

Dracula realized what happened and tried to cover, "Heh, look at that! She's pretending she's in jail!"

Suddenly, Murray, half torn up and crying, yelled, "He wiped with me! He wiped with me!"

Elizabeth's POV

"I am coming home right now." Elisabeth yelled. "And you better be there! Or I swear, Count, you're gonna be very sorry!" Lis hung up the phone and immediately started the car.

"What's going on?" Mavis asked.

"I think your Dad and the girls are in jail!"

"Whhhaaat?"

"We need to get home right away!"

Dracula's POV

"Gimme that!" Dracula grabs the phone from Lis and dials, digging his long fingernails into the phone. He called Griffin.
