An old monster lady rolled a circular cage filled with tiny skulls to mix them up. The lady reached in and pulled one out, holding it up to her ear.

The little skull whispered, "N-27."

"N-27." The caller weakly said into a mic.

Two long tables were in the room, and multiple monsters had bingo cards and stamps in front of them. Dracula stamped his card happily, and glanced around the room at everyone else. Across from him, Johnny had his head in his hand and was falling asleep.

(Y/n), who was between Johnny and Maven, began nodding off. Her head leaned to the side and landed on Maven's shoulder. The vampire boy stiffened up and glanced down at her, stamping his card with as little movement as possible so he wouldn't disturb her.

"G-61." The caller announced.

Eunice stamped her card, and noticed that she had won. "Bingo! Bingo!" She cried.

The monster next to her picked up her winning card and ate it. Eunice noticed this and leaned into her face.

"How dare you! Do you know what doctor made me?" She snapped.

"I didn't do that." The monster defended.

(Y/n)'s head nearly slipped off Maven's shoulder, but he gently caught her, and moved her back to his shoulder.

He placed his hand on her lower back to steady her, and (Y/n) unconsciously snuggled closer to him. Maven smiled widely as if he had just gotten the biggest Bingo ever.

...

The next activity was charades. Two monsters stood on a wooden floor that looked like a basketball court, acting something out while a circle of monsters surrounded them and tried to guess what the word was.

There were bleachers around the room were other monsters sat, watching the other monsters guess.

One circle had a fly monster acting something out.

"Circle?"

"Fly?"

"Hands?"

"Film?"

The fly monster suddenly spit into his hands and rubbed them together.

"Vomit."

"The Vomit?"

"The Throw Up."

"No. That wasn't a clue." The fly monster deadpanned.

Dracula sat on the bleachers between Maven, and (Y/n) and Johnny. He didn't want Maven and (Y/n) to get any closer then they already were. He was happily watching the charades game, while the others looked super bored.

Griffin was the other actor, and the six-headed dragon monster was guessing.

"Emptiness?"

"Glasses?"

"Glasses?"

"Shaking glasses?"

"Glasses shaking sideways!"

"Through the Looking Glass."

Griffin sighed. "Ah, I stink at this."

Maven leaned back and looked behind his Dad and looked at (Y/n). The girl felt eyes on her and glanced over at Maven.

He grimaced and sheepishly mouthed the word 'Sorry.'

(Y/n) quietly giggled and waved her hand saying it was okay, and that she didn't mind.

Johnny suddenly perked up, and shook (Y/n) by the shoulders. She turned her attention to her brother, and watched him dig into their backpacks and pull out two scooters. (Y/n)'s face lit up and she nodded, taking her scooter.

(Y/n) and Johnny rode by on their scooters and everyone perked up and watched them both with awe, as they spun and did tricks. They even let some of the other monsters try.

Murray sat on Johnny's scooter and used his legs to propel him forward.

Wayne's wolf pups piled into (Y/n)'s scooter and cruised around.

Maven came down the bleachers and approached (Y/n). He curiously inspected her scooter, and she held a hand out for him. He took it, and she pulled him towards her to stand behind her on the scooter.

Maven wrapped his arms around her waist as the two used their legs to propel them forward. They scooted around on the floor, and laughed at how much fun they were having and Maven's arms tightened around the girl and he rested his chin on top of her head.

Big foot had a go on Johnny's scooter, but as soon as he stepped into the scooter, it rolled out from under him and he fell and crashed through a wall.

Johnny's scooter rolled over to the monster lady from the Bingo game, and she ate it.

"I didn't do that."

...

Everyone was now relaxing in the pool. Some of them were doing water aerobics which were being taught by the fly monster.

"And pull it back. And up. And push. And twist and back. And up. And twist. And push." He instructed while doing the movements.

He then spit up into his hands again, and everyone did the same.

"No, don't copy that." He sighed, before resuming.

Maven, (Y/n) and Johnny were sitting at a round table with Eunice, Murray, Wayne and Wanda. Mavis was wearing black swim trunks and a red and black striped tank top, (Y/n) was wearing a black one piece bathing suit, and Johnny had on a yellow and black striped shirt and matching trunks.

The two siblings were telling them about their travels, while Maven leaned his elbows on the table and rested his head in his hands as he watched (Y/n) talk with a dreamy look in his eyes.

"Wow, you two have been to the Taj Mahal?" Eunice have them an impressed look.

"Come on, no monsters been to the Taj." Murray said in disbelief.

"Man, I wish I could go there. How did you deal with the mobs?" Maven asked worriedly.

He placed a hand over (Y/n)'s, worried that the 'mobs' might have hurt her.

"Yeah, it does get pretty crazy during the summer." (Y/n) shrugged. "But you just gotta roll with it, I guess."

"They just roll. That's cool that they roll." Wayne said.

"Yes, yes. It's cool." Dracula interrupted.

He held out something towards Maven. "Look Mavey, I brought you a bagel with your favorite, scream cheese."

Literally, the spread on his bagel began to scream.

"Holy rabies! Thanks Dad." Maven leaned closer to (Y/n). "(Y/n) try some scream cheese, it's awesome."

"Oh wow, I...would love too! But...I'm uh...scream cheese intolerant. So..." she smiled awkwardly and pushed the bagel back towards Maven.

"Yes, of course you are." Dracula grabbed Johnny and (Y/n) by the shoulders and dragged them away. "Can I party plan talk with you two for a minute?"

...

"What are you two doing?! If they find out you are human they'll go bat poop!" Dracula frantically yelled.

"Relax. No one suspects anything." Johnny said dismissively. "The only thing that looks weird is how much whispering we're doing."

Sure enough, Dracula looked around and saw other monsters giving them weird looks. Dracula smiled awkwardly and led them to a more discreet location.

"Just wrap it up!" Dracula hissed. "You two will say you're going in the pool and act excited. And the you will say you hurt yourselves and have to leave."

Johnny and (Y/n) huffed and stomped over to the edge of the pool.

"Here comes good times! Whoo!" Johnny yelled unconvincingly.

"Yay! Swimming...so fun!" (Y/n) half heartedly raised her fist.

Johnny pathetically grabbed his back and made a pained face.

(Y/n) let out a dramatic gasp. "Oh my goodness, are you okay Johnny?"

(Y/n) went to walk closer to him, but suddenly grimaced and grabbed her shoulder.

"Ooh...ahh...I-I think I have a cramp!" She announced.

"Oh! My back!" Johnny whined.

"I'm on your back!" A monster yelled as he jumped onto Johnny's back.

Dracula waved his hands from the other side of the pool. "No, no! He said 'Oh, my back!' "

"Get on my back!" Another monster yelled, pulling someone on his shoulders.

"Oh, here we go. Chicken fight! Push them off!" Johnny announced, stepping into the pool.

Everyone cheered and jumped in the pool and joined in.

(Y/n) eyes widened in shock at how quickly the situation escalated, when she was swept off her feet. (Y/n) yelped and looked up to see Maven holding her bridal style in his arms.

"Are you alright Little Lamb? I heard you hurt your shoulder?" His brows furrowed in concern for her.

(Y/n) shyly looked up at him. "Oh...that...yeah, just-just a little...but I'll be fine..." she rolled her shoulder for emphasis.

"Oh, good." Maven sighed in relief, before pressing a kiss to her shoulder.

(Y/n) blushed and tucked her hair behind her ear. Maven smirked and lifted her onto his shoulders. (Y/n) wobbled a little in surprise, but Maven grabbed hold of her thighs to keep her steady.

"Come on, let's show these monsters how it's done." Maven told her, before jumping into the pool.

"I'm gonna get you, (Y/n)!" Johnny taunted.

"Not if I get you first, Johnny boy!" She sassed back.

(Y/n) joined hands with the monster on Johnny's shoulder and tried to push him off, while several other pairs of monsters were doing the same thing.

Dracula was watching the whole thing from the edge of the pool. "Okay, calm down with the fight chickens! Everyone stop the roughhousing!"

A large tentacle rose out of the pool and lifted Frank high up into the air to act as a diving board.

"Frank, if you hurt yourself..." his wife threatened.

"I got it honey." Frank said nonchalantly. "The stein boys are bred for this kind of thing. Geronimo!"

Frank dove off the tentacle and bellyflopped into the water. He hit the water so hard, it was like hitting solid ground and his body parts separated and floated away.

Wayne snuck behind pool chairs and made his way over to Griffin who was talking to Blobby the blob monster. He grabbed his swim shorts and pulled them down, before casually leaning against the lifeguard chair.

"Kids, why'd you do that?" Wayne asked innocently.

Griffin pulled his shorts back up. "I was just in the pool. The waters cold. Don't judge me!" He yelled before running off.

Dracula went over to Johnny and (Y/n) before he noticed something troubling. "(Y/n), Johnny, your makeup! Your makeup!" We whimpered.

He grabbed their wrists to pull them out. "Get out, now!" He whispered.

A monster swam underneath Johnny and lifted him up causing Dracula to fall in the pool.

"Woah. Guess the Count wanted to go for a swim." Johnny shrugged.

Maven laughed and put his arm around (Y/n) and she snuggled into his side.

Dracula let out a frustrated scream underwater and swam down to where the pool drain was. He yanked out the drain and the water started to disappear.

The tentacle diving board burst out of the water again, lifting Johnny and (Y/n) up. (Y/n) looked down at the giant distance to the pool and became skeptical.

"Uh, is this a good ide-."

"Cannonball!" Johnny yelled. He pushed (Y/n) off and jumped after her.

Both of them looked down and saw the water was disappearing and they started to panic.

"I hate you Johnny!" (Y/n) yelled as she fell.

Maven looked up and gasped. He transformed into a bat and flew up to (Y/n). When he was about a few feet away, he transformed into himself and grabbed her around the waist, and they slowly floated back down.

(Y/n) clung to his neck and buried her face into his chest as she whimpered.

"It's alright lamb, I've got you." Maven comforted her, tightening his arm around her waist and petting her hair. "I'll never let you go. I promise."

Johnny was still screaming and falling, and Dracula looked up and sighed. He waved his hand and used his powers to freeze Johnny in midair. He then stomped off, and came back carrying Blobby. Dracula placed Blobby underneath Johnny and waved his hand to make Johnny fall into Blobby.

Dracula glared at Johnny through Blobby, and Johnny just smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

Dracula glanced over and saw Maven holding (Y/n) in his arms and his glared deepened. The girl looked over Maven's shoulder and saw Dracula glowering at her, and she gasped and stepped out of Maven's grip and looked down at her feet.

They had really done it this time.
