Hank ran all the way to the clubhouse where he and his friends loved to hang out so he could be alone for now.

Unfortunately for Hank, there were pictures of him hanging out with not only his friends but of Ruby since she was with them having a fun time with the four at the hotel.

Hank couldn't help but look back at all the fun times the four monsters had together with Ruby since meeting their human friend in the woods that fateful night due to Mavis.

Watching Ruby leave them- him was painful since Hank had planned to tell everyone that he and Ruby had zinged the same night they had met but hadn't brought it up til now.

Hank still couldn't believe that Dracula had hurt Ruby's family by trying to change her ancestor into a vampire only the human girl to die by him and his selfish wants back then.

Seeing the fearful look in Ruby's eyes and hearing it in her voice made Hank's heart clench in pain as he wanted nothing more than to protect her from anyone who'd hurt her.

But Hank knew that Mavis wouldn't force Ruby to become a vampire unless that was what she wanted but if not then Mavis would respect her wishes as he would if she said no.

Now though, Hank knew that their friendship between them and Ruby is ruined all because of what had been reveled by Kitty and Donald Cartwright since they had followed her.

But what was even worse was that Hank blamed Dracula for what he had to Ruby's family and that he didn't get the chance to tell Ruby that he loves her and hoped she loved him.

The sadness that Hank was feeling needed to be let out so he chose to do what Ruby would do, play a song that fit the situation while he sang along to the sad song that felt right.

"After all, it's what Ruby would most likely do." Hank said sadly, he turned on some music that fit the mood and he started to sing along with the lyrics of the song he had chosen.

What Hank didn't know was that the music had caught the attention of five people, four being his friends and the fifth person being someone he hadn't expected to see ever again.

[Play Wash The Hurt Away from Arlo the Alligator Boy]

[Hank]

There is no one else who can carry me to the end of time

There is no one else who can wake me up from this fate of mine

No crown to wear

No song to sing

Now my skin is thin so let me in

My armor is down so you can begin

Please wash the hurt away from

Please wash the hurt away from

Please wash the hurt away from me

(Music)

Weighted you hated your crest fell upon my chest now

Thousands of pounds the baggage wearing me down now

I came to your door

I'm alone and it's me (I'm alone)

And you still can't believe

I'm a seed that came from your tree

And the life we want flashes, it flashes

And the love we had? Ashes to ashes!

We are lost and we're drifting and drifting away

Please wash the love away from

Please wash the hurt away from

Please wash the hurt away from me

The hurt away from me, yeah

The hurt away from me

Ooo, yeah!

Yeah, yeah

The hurt away from me

(And the life we want flashes, it flashes)

Please, please wash the hurt away!

(Music fades out)

When Hank was done singing, he felt three pairs of arms wrap around him as he cried. "I-I'm sorry!" Hank cried out, he knew that she wasn't with him but Hank was apologizing to Ruby for everything that happened.

Mavis, Wendy and Pedro did their best to console Hank as he cried his heart out and apologized for things that he hadn't done but felt that he had to do this on Dracula's behalf since his heart was hurting a lot now.

"It's not your fault." A soft voice said, the four monsters froze before turning to the voice and saw Ruby. "I-we thought you left?" Wendy replied quietly, Ruby smiled sadly as she walked over to her four best friends.

"I did but when I got home, I thought about the fun times we had and realized that I didn't want to lose you guys." Ruby answered gently, her friends were shocked but they had felt the same way as Ruby did now.

Hank stood up and walked over to Ruby. "Can I tell you something?" Hank asked nervously, Ruby nodded at him. "You remember the night we met each other?" Hank asked Ruby, she nodded silently so he sighed.

"That night, we zinged." Hank confessed, Ruby smiled while their friends froze at the information. "I know we did but I was worried about how you'd react so I didn't say anything about it." Ruby responded to Hank.

"I want to give us chance to be together and I was hoping you'd agree." Hank said nervously, he paused and waited for her to laugh. "I would love to give us a chance." Ruby replied with a sweet smile on her face.

Hank smiled at her then cheered loudly making Ruby laugh and soon she was joined by her other friends. "But first, there's something that needs to be taken care of." Mavis told Ruby, she nodded then headed out.

The five left the clubhouse and went back to the ballroom where they saw the vampire council yelling at Dracula for trying to change Blake against her will as well as killing her by draining her body of her own blood.

Dracula kept saying that he was sorry but the council wouldn't listen. "THAT'S ENOUGH!" Ruby roared out, everyone turned to her as she went to up Dracula who flinched under her glaring silver gaze that held fury.

"R-Ruby, I-I'm s-so s-sorry!" Dracula said in fear, Ruby stopped in front of him and he closed his eyes waiting her to attack him but when he felt a pair of arms wrap around him, Dracula opened his eyes in shock.

Everyone was stunned to see Ruby hugging Dracula. "Wha...why?" Dracula tried to ask her, Ruby giggled gently. "I know you're sorry and that you feel guilty for what you did to Blake." Ruby replied to the vampire.

"I know that your worried that I'd hate you but I think Blake would want me to forgive you despite what you did to her." Ruby explained, Dracula wasn't sure that he could believe his ears even after hearing that.

"She's right you know." A gentle voice spoke up, everyone looked behind Ruby and saw a ghost who looked just like her. "Blake?" Dracula asked in hesitation, was he dreaming or was his best friend really there.

Blake laughed at his expression. "I've been watching you and I know that you wanted to protect the ones you love which now includes Ruby." Blake answered with a smile, Ruby let go of Dracula as Blake went to him.

Dracula opened his mouth to speak but was stopped. "Time to forgive yourself because I've already forgiven you after seeing how our girls interacted with each other." Blake told Dracula, Ruby and Mavis smiled.

"I'll try to forgive myself." Dracula said with a sad smile, Blake nodded at him. "You'd better because I'm not the only one who wants to see you happy again." Blake whispered, he knew Martha was with her right now.

Blake turned back to Ruby. "I'll be having a talk with your Aunt Kitty." Blake told her, Ruby laughed as she imagined her Aunt's scared face. "Have fun with that." Ruby responded with a smirk, Blake then left them.

"So...what happens now?" Pedro asked his friends, Ruby smirked and turned to Hank. "This." Ruby answered Pedro, all the monsters were shocked when Ruby pulled to Hank closer to her then kissed him happily.

Mavis smiled the turned to every other monster. "Hank and Ruby zinged!" Mavis announced excitedly, Frank and Eunice were the first ones to cheer for them and soon all the monsters started to cheer loudly.

This was the first time a monster and a human had zinged so it was being recorded for the monster history book as the party started back up which made all the guests very happy to celebrate even more that night.

"Will we always be together?" Hank asked Ruby, she smiled at her boyfriend. "I believe we will." Ruby replied happily, they kissed once more before going to their friends to hang out while thinking of the future.

Final chapter done! I don't own the song in this chapter, please review and no flames!
