I groaned, my limbs heavy from the long and tiring walk.

"Actually Miss Grimwood, I'm too tired, I'm cold and wet; I just want to get some rest and we can set everything straight tomorrow" I proposed as she nodded.

"Very well if you go up the staircase the 2nd door on the left side of the hallway is available, have a good night's sleep" Miss Grimwood replied as I nodded dragging up my cases which felt welded to my hands.

I found the room which was empty it was decent sized. the floor was stone, the wallpaper was a dark red as I looked at the bed, it clearly looked old. on normal circumstances, I would not even consider sleeping on it, but I was desperate I let go of my cases hitting the floor with a loud thud, my palms felt all raw as I began undressing. I unzipped my black leather jacket tossing it on the floor, then my T-shirt. I then kicked off my boots and finally removed my denim jeans. standing in my plaid boxers I approached the bed crawling in. I covered myself with the thick heavy sheets, a bit itchy but I wasn't complaining. I turned over prepared for rest.

My night of rest was interrupted by hunger as I woke up my stomach growling. I checked the watch on my wrist, which read 3 in the morning as I stretched yawning. as left the bed reaching for my pants. Pulling up my jeans getting dressed. my roaring stomach was guiding towards one thing food.

I left the bedroom. everyone else must've been asleep as I made sure not to make any noise. I gently crept down the staircase to the main room when I realized, I did not know where the kitchen was but the smell of food revealed itself as I caught a whiff. I followed the smell trying to make sense of what it was. It smelt like nothing I've ever encountered before as I walked down the hallway sniffing the air. The smell led to a closed door. Looked under the wooden door seeing a light hearing clanging.

"Guess I'm not the only one with the midnight munchies" I concluded opening the door seeing three beings in the kitchen. one a teen a bit older than myself, lanky with a blond hairdo, red shirt, and blue jeans. the second a brown Great Dane with black spots and a red collar

"Like how is that chocolate and peanut butter pizza coming along Scoob," The man asked as the dog stood up on two paws I kid you not and put on a pair of oven mitts, he pulled a brown pizza pie from the stove setting it down before giving a thumbs up.

"Looking good Shaggy" the dog spoke as I dropped my jaw.

"A talking dog?" I called out as the three turned.

"Zoinks," The man said shocked as he and the dog jumped into the fridge closing the door.

"Ok wise guy, what's the big idea" the third figure called up a smaller Great Dane putting up his dukes as I chuckled at the cute sight.

"I'm just here cause I have a case of the munchies" I responded as the man and older dog opened the fridge.

"Sorry man, we just get startled easy," The man said as a nodded.

"No harm, I'm Leslie Steele, the new student" I introduced myself.

"Shaggy, I'm the gym teacher, and this is Scooby Doo and his nephew Scrappy" The man introduced as a rubbed my chin.

"I see, Well nice to met you, Mr. Rogers," I said sniffing the Pizza.

"Chocolate and peanut butter pizza" Shaggy offered to cut a slice of pizza, coated in chocolate sauce and globs of peanut butter. I sniffed it, It wasn't half bad as I shrugged.

"Why not," I said folding the slice before biting into it. the taste was like nothing I've eaten before, I Took another bite practically by instinct.

"So why are you at Grimwood?" Shaggy asked as I shrugged.

"Mix Up, I was enrolled at Calloway's but my form got sent here" I explained.

"Well Don't worry, the Girls here are nice" Scrappy added chomping his pizza, as I felt a bit of relief. maybe going to a finishing school might not be bad. the teachers seem nice and if the girls are nice I might get close to them. In retrospect beats military school. I sat down with the three eating pizza.

"what about you three, why are you here?" I asked as Shaggy bit into his slice.

"a little extra money, solving mysteries doesn't exactly pay the bills" Shaggy stated as I snapped my fingers.

"I knew you looked familiar, you're Shaggy Rogers from Mystery Inc" I concluded as Shaggy looked surprised nodding.

"I saw you guys on TV, solved that Puppet case" I stated as Shaggy stroked his goatee.

"Yeah, the rest of the gang is off doing something else, it's just me, Scooby and Scrappy" Shaggy explained.

"That's pretty cool, you guys are like celebrities" I stated.

"You wanna hang with us, we have a game console in the van?" Shaggy asked as Thought about it, I was already up and wasn't tired.

"Not now, maybe later" I replied watching the three making their way to the main door before I head back upstairs, true I wasn't tired but I should try to get some sleep, I did not want to be tired in the morning. I made my way to my room. My gaze shifted to my suitcase. While I was up I decided I might as well unpack my stuff.

I pulled out a few clothes tossing them on my bed, next I pulled out my Iron Maiden poster taping it to the peeling wall. I folded my clothes putting them in the old dresser beside my window. The view from the window looked straight out of a horror movie. the broken and dead trees. the moonlight flooding in the room and the fog coating the sky.

I shrugged finishing up organizing my room as a heard an earsplitting sound from outside, covering my ears. it sounds like a pack of wolves howling. I laid down on the bed hearing a second howl more high pitched. I covered my head with my pillow.

"Damn wolves, shut up" I muttered under my breath as it continued. I jumped up walking to my window to slam it shut when I saw a figure standing on the roof shingles. I couldn't make out anything besides the silhouette.

"Hey, what are you doing on the roof crazy!" I called out to the figure as she stood still turning around. the flash of lightning revealed her face coated in fur.

"Jesus" I called out recoiling as the figure jumped thru the window howling.

"Hellooo!" She howled as I ran to the bed unable to process what I was seeing chalking it up to hallucinations or a dream caused by the chocolate pizza.

"Uh, Hi," I said confused at the beast girl in front of me, her brownish fur contrasted by her torn blue dress and curly red hair.

"You must be Leslie, I thought you were gonna be a girl," The Werewolf girl said looking up at me, her eyes glowing in the dark.

"Now I know, I'm dreaming, I should not have eaten that chocolate pizza" I sated laying down as she giggled.

"You're not dreaming, I am a real werewolf, name's Winnie; nice to meet ya" she called out as a looked at her arm extended out. I glanced at it chuckled.

"Yeah, monsters are real, you're just a figment of my mind, produced by the unusual combination of Chocolate, peanut butter, and marinara sauce" I started rolling over facing the wall

"How about you go back to howling at the moon cutie" I stated this clearly made her face red.

"What did you just say to me," She said clearly stirred about the remark leaping unto the bed pinning me girl was deceptively strong. her blue sleeves dangling from her wrists. I struggled to move but no anvil as she spread my arm falling a few inches from my face. I was wrong this was not a dream, it was a nightmare. seeing those yellow eyes light the room as the beast was over me, I closed my eyes.

I opened my eyes as it was the morning I patted my bare chest in relief as I got off the bed stretching as sunlight filled the room thru the cracks in the blinds.

"What a frightening yet slightly erotic dream," I told myself. that wasn't real It could not be. If there was a real werewolf I'd be dead right now. I sniffed my self.

"Well I should probably take a shower" I concluded.
