Chapter 17

The Human Village....
Later that night, Dracula, Mavis, Johnny, Brett, Kent, Melly, Alfred, Frank, Eunice, Murray, Hank, Wendy and Pedro were riding at the hearse heading their way to the human village. After their short journey, they all exited the hearse to explore the human village. Johnny secretly brought his suitcase underneath his sit inside the hearse in case if Batman was ever needed.


"Holy Rabies! This is going to so much fun!" Mavis squealed in excitement like a little child.


"Whoa settle down, hon. There's always time to check the place around here." Johnny chuckled at Mavis' excitement like he was a parent.


"It's so nice to get out of the hotel every once in awhile." Wendy said breathing through the fresh air and exhaling it.


"So where do we go first?" Kent asked while looking around at the village.


"I don't know yet but I suggest we walk around the town. Maybe we'll find something fun to do." Johnny said as he held Mavis' arms.


While walking around the village, the humans widened their eyes in shock to see Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Mummy in real life. They recognized them from the Monster Festival when they were finding Johnny several months ago.


"Hey look, it's Count Dracula!" "Whoa it's the Mummy!" "We love you, Frankenstein!" All the humans gasped starstruck and came up to the monsters like they were celebrities. Shaking hands, making them sign their personal items, and taking pictures with them.


The only ones who weren't getting much attention were Johnny, Mavis, Hank, Pedro, Wendy, Eunice, Brett, Kent, Melly, and Alfred. They just watched Dracula, Frank, and Murray handling their fans.


"Oh boy, here we go again." Dracula sighed in annoyance while Frank and Murray enjoyed the humans' love for them as their adoring fans.


"Yes, hi there. Good to see you, too. How are you?" Dracula said giving an uncomfortable smile and laugh trying to escape the human crowd. Meanwhile, Frank and Murray were treating their fans really well.


"Is it okay if we take a picture with you guys?" A human girl asked Frank with her friends.


"Yeah sure." Frank said in a friendly way.


"Any fan of the Mummy is no problemo!" Murray said winking at the girls.


The human girls went closer to Frank and Murray to take their picture while Frank took off his head as a selfie action.


After the human girls got the chance to take their pictures, Frank suddenly saw his wife, Eunice, glaring and crossing her arms at him after watching his interaction with those girls. Hank simply got an 'Uh oh' on his face.


"So what was that about, huh?" Eunice snapped at Frank a little jealous.


"Aww, come on, honey. Don't be mad. I was just trying to be nice to the humans. They love monsters now." Frank explained laughing nervously while Eunice just lets it go on her thoughts and forgives him.


"Sounds like you've made some adoring fans, dad." Mavis said to Dracula as she and Johnny chuckled after watching Dracula struggled with his human fans.


"Yes, I probably did." Dracula said tiredly "It just happens when me and your uncles came to this village for the first time. Turns out they held a Monster Festival every once in a while." Dracula said referring to the time when he and the Drac Pack tried to bring back Johnny.


"When did you guy go to the village?" Mavis asked.


"I think you already, Mavy." Johnny whispered while giving a weak smile at Mavis.


"Oh. Ok I get it now." It only took Mavis a few of seconds to figure out what her fiancé was talking about and was saddened for awhile. Johnny just held her hand and kiss her cheek to make her feel comfortable. They were also worried about the hearing with the Vampire Council next week at the hotel.


They stumbled across a local restaurant and reserved a big table for the whole family to dinner. Everyone in the restaurant were astonished to see the monsters with them tonight but respected them peacefully like ordinary people. This was the first that the monsters would get the chance to eat human foods, except for Mavis, she tried some human foods with Johnny back at Hawaii and loved it. At first, Dracula, Frank, Eunice, Murray, Hank, Pedro, and Wendy were skeptical about the thought that eating human food wouldn't be safe but Johnny, Mavis, Brett, Kent, Melly, and Alfred convinced them it's just the same as eating their ordinary monster foods. After their orders were served, the monsters really enjoyed the human food inside their mouths. After they finished their meals, Johnny, Brett, Kent, and Melly paid the bill but the restaurant server kindly said that it's for free because of the famous Count Dracula and the rest of the monsters but they insisted on paying the bill at the end.


Everyone were separated into 3 groups to explore the village. Dracula was with Frank, Eunice, and Murray and the humans would sometimes come up to them for some pictures. Hank, Pedro, and Wendy explored the village just the 3 of them and they would also encounter some human fans. Mavis wanted to spend some time with Johnny and her future in-laws.


Melly noticed a small fancy clothing store near them and wanted to try it. She also wanted to bring Mavis with her for some 'girl time'.


"Mavis, you've gotta come with me. I think you'll love it here!" Melly squealed in excitement as she gently pulled Mavis' arms into to the store.


"Okay, but what is this place?" Mavis asked nervously.


"It's a clothing store, Mavis. You go there to buy the clothes or shoes you want. Nothing harmless." Brett explained which removed Mavis' nervousness away.


"Alright! That sounds like fun actually!" Mavis giggled as she entered the store with Melly.


"Oh great. Melly is in her shopping shenanigans and now she's taking Mavis with her." Johnny sarcastically said while Brett and Kent chuckled.


"At least the two of them are getting along." Alfred said smiling at Johnny.


"Yeah. At least they're having fun together." Johnny smiled looking back at Alfred.


Inside the store, Melly and Mavis tried some beautiful clothes and shoes that they loved for 5 minutes. Melly bought some clothes that she wanted while Johnny bought the clothes that Mavis wanted. Mavis thanked Johnny by simply giving him a big hug and a loving kiss that he always wanted.


After a couple of minutes, Johnny and Mavis explored the town just the two of them until they encountered Hank, Pedro, and Wendy holding an old newspaper.


"Hey guys, check this out!" Hank said showing the old newspaper to Mavis and Johnny. The headline of the newspaper was 'Bat-Vigilante Stops Chemical Plant Heist!' with a picture of Batman/Johnny's black silhouette.


"Where did you get this?" Johnny asked surprisingly as he gently grabbed the newspaper away from Hank's hands.


"I got that old newspaper for free! Nobody wanted it so I got it." Hank explained while Johnny and Mavis read the newspaper. It was the time when Batman/Johnny was stopping 3 criminals breaking in the chemical facility 3 months ago. One of the criminals was wearing a red dome helmet and a red cape.


"Whoa. I didn't know that Bat-man has been doing this vigilante thing for awhile now." Mavis said in surprise after reading the paper.


"Oooh wee! Uncle Drac has been pretty busy. If you know what I mean." Pedro said chuckling raising an eyebrow.


"Pedro, would please stop with that stupid idea of yours! My father is not a vigilante!" Mavis exclaimed in annoyance at Pedro.


"Alright, I'll stop. But you have to admit though, this Bat guy is pretty cool." Pedro said amusingly.


"Yeah. He's really awesome!" Hank replied.


"Maybe we could be he's sidekicks someday!" Wendy exclaimed while both Hank and Pedro agreed.


Johnny really appreciated that they see him/Batman as a hero who's all about doing the right thing to protect the innocent lives of humans and monsters.


"Well whoever the Batman is, I'm sure everyone in this town are very lucky to have him." Johnny smirked.
