After all the convincing the crowd gave me and Johnny. We decided we couldn't really say 'no' so we ended up going along. We had no choice but to follow Dracula's original party plan for today. Let me tell you, it was not fun, especially for what you would call a teen party.

We started off with some Bingo or at least a different kind of Bingo. When I looked over to the ball they used for the Bingo number, they turned out to be little skull heads. They whisper out numbers for the caller to call out. Creepy but it's a nice twist. I wonder if they get paid? Do they have lives outside of this? Why am I so serious about this?

The Bingo ball-turner spun and one popped out. An older-looking monster grabbed it and brought the skull fella to her ear. It whispered in her ear and slowly she turned to the microphone and spoke. " N-27." Then she grabbed her stamp and put one on her card.

The room was dead silent. A complete 180 from the previous scene of Johnny playing the bass. That was way more fun...I am so bored. I heard a thud from a few seats away from me. Turning my head my eyes landed on a very enthusiastic-looking Dracula. He was looking at everyone especially happily, expecting everyone else to also enjoy this like him. I was on the opposite side of where Mavis and Johnny were sitting. Markus was sitting on the right side of me and I was sitting across from Mavis. The mummy man was on the right side of Markus and a water monster that was blue was on my left. He was sitting right across from Dracula.

I looked over across from me and saw that Mavis looked bored while stamping her Bingo card. Johnny was currently dozing off to the side. Because I wasn't paid too much attention Markus decided upon himself to steal some of my Bingo chips.

"Hey what do you think you are doing?!" I whispered/ yelled over to him. I gave him a glare but it was more playful. That snapped Johnny out of his daze and he started looking around confused.

"Relax. I needed more and didn't feel like getting up to grab any. Plus you clearly aren't going to win so I took it upon myself to relieve you of your chips." Markus explained playfully while stamping his card again because the older monster caller spoke out another number. Markus turned his attention back to his card and pretended to be fully into his game. I could see from the corner of his mouth a small smile upon it.

From the other side of the table of the room, I heard someone yell Bingo. Oh, thank god! We could be done. But when I turned to look at who said, Bing. I saw from the left of her someone eating her card. Well, that answers my question about leaving.

Looking over at the chip stealing Markus I decided to give him a present. "Fine. If you wanted my chips you could have just asked here let me help you" I whispered to Markus while grabbing the chip stamper and bringing it closer to his cards.

He didn't have enough time to process what I was about to do before I started stamping all over his card, making him lose his original chip placement. His mouth was opened a little from the shock but he snapped out of it quickly and glared at me but I knew it wasn't out of hate.

"Touchè little witch, Touchè," Markus said while crossing his arms. I let out a laugh while hearing a laugh from Mavis and Johnny across from us. In a flash, Markus messed up my Bingo card by using his stamp chips to mess up my original spots.

"Aw come on. I almost had a Bingo." I pouted while slouching down on my seat. I heard Markus laugh. From that point on whenever we started a new Bingo game, we both would mess with each other's cards before one of us had the chance to say BINGO. Closer to the end Johnny and Mavis decided to Join us. That led to all four of us being too loud and we were kicked out by Dracula. Not like we cared.

That led us to our next party activity. We arrived at a big GYM looking place and all around the seats were monsters sitting quietly. Two groups of monsters seated away from each other. Both sitting around one monster while that one monster tried to get the others to say the word they have.

One of the leaders was a Fly. He tried his best but clearly, his teammates are bad at guessing. He was trying to Min out a circle but everyone thought he was throwing up. The other team wasn't doing much better. They had the invisible man, and all they could see was his glasses shaking. He eventually gave up.

I heard a big sigh come from Johnny on my right. Johnny and I were seated apart from the twins, mainly because of the ruckus we caused during Bingo. Let me tell you, I won. Johnny was slouching and when I looked behind Dracula to see the twins. Mavis was also slouching and looked bored while Markus was leaning against his sister sleeping or was he fake sleeping? This is sure a party Dracula planned.

I leaned forward to get a look at what Dracula was doing. He looked as happy as he did during Bingo. I can't tell if he's faking this or not. From the corner of my eye I saw Johnny jump up from his seat then quickly moved to his backpack. Oh did I tell you, we get our belongings back. When we did Johnny was over the moon.

"Johnny, what are you looking for?" I asked him curiously while turning to where he is. My words got the attention of some monsters around us, including the Dracula family. He didn't really respond and continued to look through his backpack. After a few more seconds he pulled out his green scooter he surprisingly fit within his backpack. I can't believe he actually took that with us while hiking. I thought I told him not to bring it with.

Once he unfolded his scooter he set it down the GYM floor and grinned towards me. His little smile was telling me he was about to show me something fun. He pushed off with one foot and that got him flying all around the floor. After a few more seconds of him moving around, monsters started getting interested in the object it was. They gathered around him and watched him do cool little tricks.

Eventually, he started letting other monsters try it out. First, with the sandman, he only sat on it and rode it. Then there was a hand...He didn't do much. After that the pups from earlier joined, there were like 8 of them riding it while one girl was following behind. Soon BigFoot or maybe he was taller than Bigfoot stepped forward wanting a try at it. He took one step on the small scooter and his whole foot was bigger than the scooter. He lost balance and fell through one side of the seats. Luckily he only fell on one monster which was a zombie waiter. R.I.P Monster waiter guy...

People started clapping while I started laughing. From the right of me, I could also hear the twins start laughing too. We looked at each other on instinct and smiled. Dracula had a horror face on and once he saw me looking at his kids he used his cape to block their view. I rolled my eyes and turned it back to Johnny. He was currently hyping everyone up on the scooter.

Sadly the fun had to end once the monster-eating grandma got her hands on it. I think she was there during Bingo. It rolled right next to her and within a second she ate it. Whole. Like really?! "I didn't do that, " She said while looking away from everyone. That ended our fun at the GYM and no one else could ride it. Johnny let out a sad sign while walking back over to me.

"Aw, man. That was my favorite scooter" He told me while sitting back down next to me.

"You should have known the risk of bringing it out here," I said back, continuing to laugh. Dracula got up and tried to get everyone back into the previous game but after the grandma incident, everyone was too bummed out.

That led up to our next activity, the pool party. Now, this was something you can't mess up. Johnny and I were currently at a table with a whole bunch of monsters. Johnny was sitting on the left side of me while Markus was on my right. Mavis was after Johnny making her at Johnny's left. After Mavis was Murray who was previously Mummy man but he introduced himself earlier. Then it would have been Frankenstein but he got up to get food. His wife Eunice was sitting next to him and after her was Wayne who was the werewolf with all the kids, and next to him was his wife Wanda. Who is also pregnant again. That comes back to Markus making a full circle of the table.

I was currently in one of my swimsuits I had tucked away in my backpack. I picked the one that covered more skins so it was easier to cover my makeup. It was a simple black T-shirt with some swim shorts that had a white outline. Johnny who was on my left was wearing one of his shirts that is orange and had blue stripes, with his swim trunks.

Mavis, Markus, Johnny, and I were the only ones that didn't have plates of food with us. The reason for me and Johnny don't have any is that the food scared us. There were bugs that I was not even willing to look at.

The other monsters were nice. Eunice was dramatic and sounded like a New Jersey Aunt but she was fun nonetheless. Murry was funny and was like the uncle I never had because I don't have one. Wanda was very kind and caring probably because she's had so many kids she's used to it. Her husband was always looking tired, but chill. He goes with the flow but also as a dad is very responsible.

We were currently having two different conversations at the table. Johnny was talking about one of our adventures while Wanda was asking me motherly questions.

" Your parents must really trust you sweetly, to be able to stay with your friend while they are off on a trip," Wanda said, surprised. Markus and Wadye were just listening to our conversation.

"Of course, they think it's good to have responsibilities when young because it helps teach me some experience in the future. I am 120 so sooner or later I would be thrown into the world one way or another. Might as well have experience" I said while giving her a smile.

She gives a smile back while nodding in agreement. "So you are 120 close to Markus and Mavis' age" she continues to speak. " Do you have a partner? Or perhaps you are currently with Johnny? " She innocently asked. That got the attention of everyone at the table.

Markus was drinking something before hearing Wanda's question and once he did hear he choked on his drink. He started coughing trying to get the drink out of his lungs. He eventually stopped coughing. He looked at Wanda embarrassed.

"Wanda." The Twins said in unison.

"Honey, that's not something you should ask so sudden" Wadye tried to reason with his wife. Johnny and I just laughed as we got asked this a lot.

"No, it's cool man. Ella and I get asked this a lot. No, we are not dating, we have known each other since we were young. We traveled with each other a lot, becoming best friends" Johnny relaxingly said while swinging one of his arms behind his chair.

"Oh, where have the two of you been?" Eunice said excitedly. Mavis was leaning on the table while dreamily looking at Johnny. I could feel Markus eyes on me but I decided to not look over at him, I might just stare as I have been before.

"Oh, we have been to lots of places," I said excitedly while remembering all the cool places I gotta travel. "There was New York, Spain" I started to name out the places.

"Las Vegas, India, the Taj Mahal" Johnny finished for me. Mavis looked impressed while I looked over at Markus, he was still staring. I nudged him a little trying to snap him out of it, which it did. He looked around surprised not even knowing he was staring until he looked at me again. His face turned a little red before looking away. I let out a giggle.

"Johnny, Ella you've been to the Taj Mahal?" Eunice said, sounding surprised as she holds a wine glass in her right hand.

"Come on. No monster's been to the Taj" Murry said, not believing it at all as he stabbed his plate of bugs. I looked at his plates and let me tell you, this is why we didn't get any. The bugs were alive and were trying to escape the plate but Murry got all of them and stuffed them in his mouth. I could see little bits of bugs crawling out of his mouth once he smiled.

"Man, I wish we could go there, right Markus? " Mavis said then looked over at Markus. Everyone turned to him while his face was still a little red. He only nodded his head while looking somewhere else.

"How...Umm...How did you guys deal with the mobs and angry people?" Markus asked while slowly truing back to normal colors. I guess there were some rude and angry people there mostly because it was crowded.

"Yeah, it does get pretty crazy in the summer. But, you know, you just gotta roll." Johnny answered. While looking over at Markus. I nod in agreement.

"They just roll. That's cool that they just roll." Wadye said jumping in the conversation and we all looked over at him with a smile. From the corner of my eye, I could see Dracula pop up randomly around the table. Does he want a seat? He looks like a kid trying to get his parent's plate of food.

"Yes, yes, cool." Dracula jumps in between Johnny and Mavis, pushing Johnny closer to me. " Look, love droppings, I brought you a bagel with your favorite, scream cheese." Dracula continued while handing Mavis what looks like a bagel with cheese. I wonder why it's called that...

Then he looked over at Markus "Don't think I forgot about you my prince of night. I got one of your favorite 'bubonic moose nose omelets'" Dracula handed Markus a plate with his other free hand.

Within a second, my question was answered. The cheese legit screamed. Like it was alive! WHAT THE... My mouth was left opened and judging by the way Johnny looked he was also horrified.

"Holy rabies. Thanks, Dad." Mavis said while grabbing the bagel. She then went up to both Johnny and me. On instance, we both backed up in our chairs scared of the small bagel with the screaming cheese. " Johnny, Ella try some scream cheese, it's awesome." Mavis kindly offered us and handed it to Johnny.

"Oh... my..." I only got a few words in before remembering that I can't really blow my cover on a bagel screaming cheese. I looked over at Johnny hoping she wouldn't take a bit out of it.

"Oh, cool," Johnny said while the bagel started to scream again.

"But I'm scream cheese intolerant. So, polite pass." He thought of an excuse which easily passed by the monster's suspicion. Mavis looked a little disappointed and looked over at me.

"Sadly I am trying to lay off screaming cheese, it is not good for my...skin..." I said slowly. Mavis nodded while being handed the scream cheese back from Johnny.

"Oh my. Is that true? Scream cheese is not good for your skin?!' Eunice said shocked while looking over at me. I have no idea...I am not a doctor...

"Heard it from a friend, who also heard it from another friend," I said nervously while Dracula was glaring at Johnny and me. Mavis took a bit out of screaming cheese and then shut it up quickly...OMG

" Yes, of course, I also hear about it too." Dracula backed up my theory and that got Eunice to touch her face in surprise. "Johnny, Ella can we party-plan talk for a minute?" Dracula said while grabbing Johnny back, the shirt lifting him while I was grabbed by the arm and both of us were dragged away.

"What are you doing? If they find out you are human, they'll go bat poop!" Dracula said angrily while getting into our faces. Ever heard of personal space Buddy?

" Relax. No one suspects anything. The only thing that looks weird is how much whispering you're doing." Johnny reassured him while pointing out that we were talking in the middle of the pool party. Everyone was staring at us while Dracula was angrily whispering to us. Yup. Totally not suspicious.

Dracula took a look around giving everyone a fake smile while pushing Johnny and me out of view of everyone. We ended in the corner of the pool area and there was no monster of earshot.

" Just wrap it up," Dracula said getting in a mood. "Johnny 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." Dracula then turned his attention on me. Oh boy. "You. As a friend of his will act all concerned and will take him back inside where there are no monsters. Got it" He finished sounding like an overdramatic father.

What a party Popper. I didn't even get to swim. Johnny stomped away first looking annoyed. While I followed a little behind crossing my arms in spite. Johnny reached the edge of the pool and started yelling which gained everyone's attention.

" Here come good times! Whoo!" He started while clearly acting, he then pretended to almost jump into the pool " Oh, dudes. Oh, my back." he grabbed his back while acting hurt. Before I even go over there to do my part in this scene this green-looking dude jumped on his back.

"I'm on your back!" He yelled excitedly. Wow, where did he even come from? Dracula was behind me seeing this and clearly not liking how it was playing out.

"No, no. He said, 'Oh, my back.'" Dracula yelled out trying to explain what Johnny meant. He was now at the opposite side of the pool where Johnny was. How did he even get there? More people started to misread what Dracula was saying and on another side of the pool, a red monster offered Mavis to get on his back.

" Aw, here we go. Chicken fight! Push them off!" Johnny said getting into this. He walked into the pool with that guy still on his shoulders while walking closer to Mavis. More and more monsters joined in this chicken fight game. Soon the whole pool was filled with people trying to push each other off their shoulders.
