"This party is awesome!" Frankie called, dancing.

"I know right!?" Draculaura smiled to Frankie as she danced beside Clawd. "This band is so good!"

"Who knew Marklin was such a great singer?" Cleo questioned.

"And it looks like Clawdeen's having fun too!" Draculaura smiled brightly as she pointed to where Clawdeen and Kathie were dancing.

"Go Clawdeen!" All of the girls called, causing the wolf in question to blush as she looked back to them. Clawd laughed, giving her a thumbs up. Clawdeen just turned back to Kathie, trying to ignore her friends cheers.

Valentine pulled Jasper to the punchbowl. "Well, when the music stops, you'll have to make sure your little waterbreather has fluid, and I know that it must be so hard to be under those lights, just look at him." Valentine poured two glasses of punch, he put one is Jasper's hands. "Just be smooth, and sweet, he'll notice you just after you save his skin."

Jasper took a sip of punch. "Smooth." Jasper squeaked. "I'm about as smooth as Gravel."

"Well even gravel can be beautiful when it's upkept with passion and care." Valentine swaved, Jasper giggled and blushed a little.

"You are too sweet, Valentine."

A siren saw.

Devion snuck around the crowd, trying to find a decent place to stand. He considered leaving, but one glance to the band made him huff and find a wall to lean against.

"I hate parties." He grunted to himself, looking up to the band playing. "Dumb Holt. He always knows how to push my buttons."

He crossed his arms, feeling his ears press against his head. "There's so many people...."

He shook his head. He will win this challenge.

Kathie looked at Clawdeen. "You know, even though my brother is screaming in the background, you really make this feel sweet, easy, and wonderful."

Clawdeen smiled. "O-Oh yeah?" She glanced away, almost shyly, though it wasn't usually in her personality to do you. "You know, I feel the same way. I don't usually show it, but I don't really like going to parties, but with you, this whole night has felt... well, fangtastic!" She laughed a bit.

"I'm glad, it's not often I have a night as wonderful as you." Kathie smiled.

Clawdeen blushed and looked away. "Th-Thanks... S-Same with you."

"I could almost kiss you, Clawdeen Wolf."

Clawdeen was quick to impulsively grab Kathie and kiss her. She the backed away. "Oh my ghoul I am so sorry!" Her face reddened even more if that was even possible.

"Never be." Kathie gasped, she threw her arms around Clawdeen and kissed her again.

Valentine pulled Jasper to a place in the center of the catacombs, in view of the stage. Putting on arm on the wall of the pillar next to Jasper he smiled at him.

"You are going to be just fine, Jasper Helix, he's already in love with you." Valentine said sweetly.

Jasper blushed and looked away, "You really are the sweetest thing."

Suddenly the music stopped with a clatter. Looking at the stage Marklin was crying, he sprinted away as fast as he could. Jasper feeling his own heart shatter sprinted in the same direction Marklin did, getting caught between confused monsters slowing him down.

"Marklin, wait!" Operetta called.

At the stop of the music, Holt disappeared in a ring of fire, Jackson taking his place. The normie glanced around, dropping the drumsticks in shock.

Valentine swore at himself in his head at how this went to disaster, but he filtered his way towards the stage. The still confused Jackson looked down to his clothing. "Wh-What am I wearing?" he looked to Operetta, then to the crowd of equally confused people. His eyes landed on Valentine, and he soon found himself tripping over his own feet to get off the stage. In doing so, he fell off the stage.

With all of his Vampire speed, Valentine caught Jackson in his arms. "You darling, are to fragile to just be trippin' like that." Valentine said softly.

Jackson felt his face heat up. "I-I- uh...." He felt a loss of words. "I-I mean, I'm just a normie; there's no need for th-that...."

Something in Valentine clicked, Holt's knowledge, the words, the everything.

Valentine kissed Jackson.

Jackson gasped a bit, eyes widening a bit in shock.

"Hello, xXSad-Pire-34Xx." Valentine said smoothly.

"H-How'd you know?" Jackson questioned, still very shocked.

"Love works in mysterious ways darling, and it's never going to let me put you down." Valentine whispered.

Jackson's face flushed as he noticed that they were floating. "Um, c-can we get down now...?"

"Anything for you, my love." Valentine landed gently, and put down Jackson.

Jackson glanced away awkwardly. "Th-Thanks...."

"Well, what should we do now, darling?" Valentine asked. Just then a siren and Skeleton came back, Marklin jumping onto the stage after getting a kiss on the cheek from the skeleton.

"As much as I'd love to just leave this place...." Jackson sighed. "Holt needs to finish his concert." Jackson gave Valentine a small smile before snapping the headphones on, and in a burst of flames came Holt. Valentine took a step back awkwardly. Holt also took a step back, glancing around.

"I see you've found him." He looked back to Valentine.

"Yes I did, Thank you." Valentine said a little agasp.

"Sure." Holt glanced around again before glaring a small bit toward Valentine. "If you hurt him, I will find out, and trust me, you'll regret it."

"Duly noted."

The glare disappeared almost as fast as it had came. "Sweet! Enjoy the music!" He then moon walked away, back flipping to his spot behind the drums.

The music started again, but somehow, better.
