Frankie Runs Away

Frankie and her friends made it to the cottage. As Starz opened the door, Frankie asked, "Guys, why can't you just tell me what this is all about?"

"Don't you get it?" Draculaura asked. "It's a surprise!"

When they walked inside, Frankie stopped and gasped. There was Leon's statue from the shipwreck. She hugged all her friends. "Guys, you're the best!" She ran over to the statue. "It looks just like him! It even has his eyes!" She gazed dreamily into the statue's eyes. "Why, Leon? Run away with you? Oh, this is all so sudden." She laughed happily, but she suddenly stopped when she found a familiar figure in the doorway. "Daddy!"

Sure enough, Frankenstein was there! The LXG were behind him, their heads hung in shame. Frankenstein was also carrying something concealed in his hand. Frankie's friends darted into various hiding places.

"I consider myself a very, very reasonable king," Frankenstein said severely. "I set certain rules, and I expect those rules to be obeyed!"

"But Daddy, I-" Frankie began.

"Is it true that you rescued a mortal from drowning?"

"Daddy, I had to."

"You know that contact between our world and the mortal world is strictly forbidden! Everyone knows that!"

"He could've died!"

"GOOD! One less mortal to worry about!"

"You don't even know him!"

"Know him? I don't have to know him! All mortals are the same! They're all cold, uncapable of feeling any-"

Finally, Frankie shouted, "Daddy, I love him!" She gasped at what she just said. Everyone else gasped, too.

Frankenstein was stunned. "Frankie...I'm ashamed of you!"

Frankenstein: This is where you belong!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">"You don't understand!" Frankie protested.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Frankenstein: For once, just listen!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">That savage brute would kill you in the world out there

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">"That's not true!"

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Frankenstein: Don't try that same old song

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">I'll have you grounded til next year

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Am I clear?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Don't go near that world out there!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">"Don't you understand, Frankie? He's a human, you're a monster!"

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">"I don't care!" Frankie snapped.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">"So help me, Frankie! I'll get through to you one way or another!"

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">From his hiding place, Xem couldn't take it anymore.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">He got out and shouted, "You take back what you said about Leon, you pompous, arrogant, ol' windbag!" The LXG gasped.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">"What did you say?" Frankenstein demanded.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">The rest of Frankie's friends came out of their hiding places. "You heard him, you beast!" Starz snapped.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">"You're ten times worse than your own brother!" Clawdeen added.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">"You're not a very nice man!" Draculaura added.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">"You have no heart at all!" Donald added.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">"You big mean thing!" Goofy shouted also.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">"ENOUGH!" Frankenstein shouted, silencing everybody. "You have gone too far! You are all banished from Andalasia for the rest of your days!" He turned to the LXG and added, "And that goes for you, gentlemen."

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">"But, Frankenstein, we can-" Quartermain began.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">"It's too late for that! You are all doomed to become animals for all eternity!" He zapped the LXG with his staff. The LXG fell to the floor, and magic swirled around them, obscuring their transformation. When the magic cleared, there was nothing left but their clothes. The LXG emerged out, and it was revealed that they were turned into various animals.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Quartermain is now a large turtle with light brownish-green skin and a brown shell.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Tom is now a lemur with his messy blonde hair.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Dorian was turned into a light gray peacock with his wavy black hair and gray/white/black tailfeathers.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Mina was turned into a black bat with her red hair still in a bun.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Nemo was turned into a blue fish with his turban and a sash wrapped around his tail.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Jekyll was turned into a scrawny green lizard with his red hair still intact.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Skinner was invisible, but he jumped into his tin of greasepaint, and it was revealed that he was turned into a rat.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">When they found Nemo flipping around for air (or water), Mina found a bowl of water which was placed rather conveniently by the door. She pushed the bowl closer to them, and Nemo jumped right in. Skinner also found some wheels and put them on the bowl.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">"That feels better," Nemo said with relief.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">But Frankenstein wasn't through. He took out the concealed object he was carrying, and Dorian gasped in shock. He knew what that meant.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Frankenstein unwrapped the object, and the object was revealed to be a gruesome portrait, yet the person in the portrait was Dorian Gray.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Dorian squawked in terror, and he flew past Frankenstein before he could get a glimpse of his portrait. He hid behind his comrades.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">"This isn't a fair punishment!" Frankie protested.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Frankenstein: I'm still the king here

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">My word is law!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">This filth you bring is the final straw

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">And push, my daughter, has come to shove

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">I'll make you obey till you do what I say

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">I don't care

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Come what may

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">But I'll keep you away from that cruel, harsh, cold, vile world OUT THERE!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Frankenstein's staff glowed, and he used it to send zaps around the room. Frankie gasped to find her beloved treasures destroyed right before her eyes. She found her dad aiming his staff at the statue of Leon. "Daddy, NO!" But it was too late. The statue was destroyed, blasted into a pile of rubble.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Frankenstein then locked Frankie and her friends in the dungeon.
