Detective Winnie

Chapter 1

It was a dark and gloomy night. The average human may see this as a depressing sight. But for the monsters at Hotel Transylvania, it's a beautiful night, especially for one certain werewolf, named Winnie. She had a special play date with her best friend, as well as zing, Dennis, the half vampire.

"Come on, Dennis. Try to keep up with me!" Said Winnie, as she was running on all fours, being chased by Dennis, as a bat.

"You've gotten faster since the last time we played," said Dennis, as he tried to catch up with his friend. Winnie decided she wanted to go back to their room and play there before they get in trouble for playing in the hallway.

"Come on, let's go to my room," said Winnie, as she turned around and headed in the other direction. Dennis sighed in annoyance as he turns around and goes after the werewolf.

"I hate it when she does that," Dennis thought.

"I knew she did it all along! Detective Jerry knows his stuff," said a young male werewolf, named Willie, Winnie's twin brother. Unlike his other brothers, Willie preferred reading rather than playing around. He and Winnie are the only wolf pups that knew how to read.

This particular book he's reading was a mystery story staring mouse detective named Jerry. Normally, Willie would prefer eating a mouse than reading a mouse, but this mouse was special. His reading was interrupted when his sister and her vampire zing burst through the door and bounced on the bed, knocking down Willie. Winnie felt guilty, unlike her other brothers, she actually liked Willie, even though he wants nothing to do with her.

"Oops, I'm sorry little brother. Didn't mean to do that," Winnie apologized. Willie got up and glared at his sister.

"I'm trying to read, Winnie. Also, I'm older than you," Willie said in annoyance.

Winnie rolled her eyes, "This again? I was born before you," Winnie responded.

"No, you weren't," Willie argued back.

"Come on guys, let's just keep playing," said Dennis, hoping to end this sibling argument.

"Fine, but don't bother me. I'm reading a book," Willie said as he holds up the book. Winnie's eyes lighted up when she saw the title.

"Detective Jerry? I love those books!" Winnie said as her tail wagging. "Is that a new story? Please let me borrow it, you'll be my favorite brother forever."

"Sure, we can read it together," Willie responded.

"Oh sweet, thanks! I love you, Willie," said Winnie as she kissed her brother on the cheek. Willie didn't seem to like that.

"Ew, girl germs!" Willie exclaimed as he rubbed his cheek.

"Can I join in?" Asked Dennis.

"Of course, my zing," Winnie responded as she held his hands and stared into his eyes. Willie gagged at the sight, he didn't understand what was so special about this zing thing.

Meanwhile, in the lobby, Mavis was helping her father with party decorations. There was a special day coming, the anniversary of the Hotel's opening.

"This party's gonna be amazing, dad!" Mavis exclaimed.

"No kidding, my little bloodsucker. This will be the best anniversary party ever!" Dracula exclaimed while blowing up a balloon.

Just then, a knight in shining armor ran up to the vampires.

"I have a letter for Mrs. Mavis Dracula!" The knight informed Mavis as he handed her a letter. Mavis looks at the envelope, her eyes widened.

"What is it, honey?" Asked Dracula.

"It's from Dennis' school!" Mavis exclaimed as she opened the letter and began reading it. Her eyes turned from concerned, to anger, something on that letter wasn't good.

"Dad, where's Dennis?" Mavis asked in a low voice. Dracula was concerned.

"He's playing with Winnie, what's the matter?" Dracula asked.

"That little boy is in some serious trouble!" Mavis shouted, which caused Dracula to back up a little. Mavis turned into a bat and went off to look for her son.

"Oh boy, this won't end well," Dracula said to himself.

"So, what case is Jerry solving tonight?" Winnie asked as she sat in between her brother and zing, getting ready to read the book.

"Somebody got framed for a crime they didn't do, so Jerry's gonna find out who did it and clear the other guy's name," Willie responded.

"Sounds interesting. This could be his best case yet," said Winnie. Before they could start reading, there was a loud knock on the door. The two were pups and the vampire looked at each other with concerned.

"Uh, who is it?" asked Winnie.

"It's me, Winnie. Is Dennis is there?" Asked Mavis, with an angry tone.

"Yes, mom?" Dennis responded with fear. Mavis opened the door, with a stern look on her face. The vampire looked at the two wolf pups.

"Winnie, Willie. I need you two to step out for a minute. I want to speak to Dennis in private," Mavis told the wolf pups calmly. Willie got up and left the room, Winnie hesitated.

"I'm not going to repeat myself, young lady, leave," Mavis told Winnie sternly. Not wanting to make the vampire lady angrier, Winnie gets up and leaves. Mavis shuts the door behind them. The werewolf looked at the door with concerned.

"I'm worried, Willie, what's going to happen to zing-zing?" Winnie asked with a concerned tone in her voice.

"I'm sure he's fine, Aunt Mavis is probably giving him a nice mother to son talk," Willie responded, thinking things will be okay.

"Stealing?! What are you talking about, I don't steal!" Dennis cried. Apparently, the letter states that Dennis stole some items from some other kids.

"Don't lie to me, young man. The letter says you stole some things. Let me see your bag!" Mavis ordered. Dennis handed her his bag. Mavis dumps everything out of the bag onto the bed. Much to Dennis' surprise, the stolen items were there.

"No, that can't be right! I'm not a thief!" Tears began forming in his eyes. Mavis wasn't trying to hear any of that.

"How could you do something like this?!" Mavis asked, with a more hurt tone than earlier.

"Th-this has to be a mistake." Dennis couldn't believe it, he didn't take those things. Did he? He tried not to cry.

"I'll be talking to your father about this. In the meantime, you're grounded until further notice," Mavis said, sternly. Dennis couldn't hold it anymore and began sobbing on the bed. Mavis gets up and walks out of the room. Where Winnie and Willie stood. Winnie tried to enter the room, but Mavis stops her.

"Not so fast, Winnie. Dennis can't play with you for a while. He's grounded for stealing," Mavis informed her.

"Can I at least talk to him for a little bit, Aunt Mavis?"

Mavis thought about it, then sighed, "You got two minutes,"

"Thanks," Winnie said as she and Willie walked into the room and sees Dennis crying on the bed. Winnie tries to comfort him. "Zing-zing?"

"Wow, you think you know a guy," Willie remarked. Winnie glared at her brother.

"Winnie, I-I didn't steal anything. I don't know how that stuff got in my bag," Dennis cried. Winnie looked at the items, something was definitely strange. She began to sniff the items, but she was interrupted by Mavis.

"Dennis, your father wants to talk you," Mavis informed him, in a much calmer tone than earlier.

"Yes ma'am," Dennis said as he sadly as he walked out of the room. Winnie felt bad for him, she didn't think Dennis would do anything like this.

"Something's not right, Willie. Dennis couldn't have done something like," Said Winnie as she looked at the items. She began to sniff them again.

"It's always the nice ones," said Willie. Winnie ignored him and sniffed some more. She picked up a strange smell.

"That's strange, none of these items have Dennis' smell," Said Winnie. Willie rolled his eyes.

"That sounds like something Detective Jerry would say," said Willie with a smirk. Winnie gasped and looked at the book that they were about to read.

"Willie, you're a genius!" Winnie exclaimed as she held up the book. "Dennis was framed! Just like the guy in this book."

"How could you be so sure?" Willie asked.

"None of these things have Dennis' smell on them. He never touched these!" Winnie responded as she stood up on the bed.

"Even if it's true, nobody would believe us," Willie informed his sister.

Winnie sighed, she knew this was true. "I know, that's why we need to snoop around a little more, like detectives,"

"What do you mean, we?" Willie asked.

"Me and you," Winnie responded.

"Seriously!?"

"Yeah, all good detectives need a cool assistant,"

Willie rubbed his head for a second, then smiled. "You know what, you're right,"

"Darn straight. This is a serious case. A case that I, Detective Winnie, has to solve!" said Winnie, with a huge grin on her face.

"Yeah, and her cool brother assistant, Willie, will help out!" Willie said he jumped on the bed with his sister.

"We'll start first thing in the morning, for now, let's get some sleep," Said Winnie as she yawned. Her brother yawned as well. The siblings laid down and got under the covers.

"This is going to be so cool," Willie said as he falls asleep. Winnie smiled at her brother. She stared at the ceiling and began closing her eyes.

"Don't worry, zing-zing, your name will be cleared," Winnie thought as she fell asleep. She had to wake up early to snoop around, they'll start by sneaking into his school to see who was out for Dennis, and why.
