The moon was high when Count Dracula Bugs attended the famed Flea Circus of Transylvania. But something was off… The ringmaster flea, Fleatrick, had vanished.

“We were just rehearsing the triple somersault when— poof —he was gone!” cried a trapeze tick.

Dracula sniffed the air. “No blood scent… only glue and sawdust. Curious.”

He turned to the strongbug lifting a peanut. “Where were you during intermission?”

The strongbug stuttered, “Uh… bench press!”

Dracula grinned. “That peanut has teeth marks. You were snacking during duty!”

From a popcorn bucket, Fleatrick popped out, covered in butter. “Sorry! I got hungry.”

As the insects twirled under the moonlight, a firefly lit up the dance floor.
“Who invited the lamp?” hissed a jealous gnat.

In the dusty archives of Count Dracula Bugs’ manor, a peculiar guest appeared — a tiny flea with a monocle and a backpack full of springs.

“I seek the legendary Golden Host,” declared the flea.
Dracula squinted. “Is that a vampire… with better posture?”

“No,” replied the flea. “It’s said to have the perfect blood composition. One jump away!”

The flea crouched, launched… and crashed into a jar of garlic powder.
