"Wait, wait! Hold up! Winnie is coming over?!" I said in an exciting tone.

"Yes she Dennis, are you okay with that?" Mavis laughed at me because of my reaction. "Oh yes I am fine with that! I haven't seen her for a while now!" It was true; I haven't seen Winnie since the attack that Bela carried out... This was 13 years ago!

"Yes I know Dennis; it has been a long time now. I invited her over to stay for a couple of days. I know her brothers get in the way... of you two." She laughed at me again. I was confused when she said that "What do you mean by that?" I asked.

"It's nothing Dennis. Forget I said that. But she is coming over soon. So, be ready. And clean your room, it's a mess in here" And laughed once again before leaving my room.

At this point, I was really confused. I mean... The way she was saying that was so strange. I thought about it for a moment, but dismissed everything as I was excited to see Winnie again! I quickly cleaned my room, and got ready. I put on my t-shirt that Winnie gave me before she left; it's black and has a paw print on it. I think it is Winnie's paw if I am honest. It is big enough to be the same size as hers. After that, I washed my face and went down to the lobby and waited for her arrival.

An hour had past; it felt like a life time! And she had finally arrived. Once she entered the lobby of the Hotel, she looked around. Nobody was here except for me and her. I think she was hoping that nobody else was there, since she ran towards me on all fours and pounced on me, knocking to the ground. It didn't hurt. She always managed to do it so that I didn't get hurt.

"It's good to see you too Winnie!" I laughed, while she started to lick my face.

"Hello Dennis!" She muttered as she was still licking my face. All in all, I wasn't bothered by her licking my face. I actually sort of liked it. Probably just one of those things you get used to after a while.

"Okay, okay you can stop now Winnie" I laughed. "I am so sorry Dennis. I got carried away" She smiled, and got off of me. She gave me her paw to help me up. Once I was up, and cleaned off the spit from my face, I was really happy to see her. And I could tell she was too. Winnie always did this when she visited me, but this time... It was sort of different.

"Come on! I'll take you to your room." She smiled at me "Okay!"

I sort of thought something was off with Winnie, since she usually called me her Zing. But, she didn't. I was kind of worried if I am honest.

We finally arrived to her room, with all of her things in the room too.

"Here we are!" Winnie looked around in shock "Wait, this is one of the Luxury rooms... I shouldn't have a room like this!" I think Winnie was just really surprised as she has never seen what this room looked like. Only the highest of monsters stayed in these rooms, but was stopped being used for some reason. It was still kept clean though.

"Winnie, it's alright. This is your room. I specifically asked that you got one of the Luxury rooms. So, what do you think?" I laughed with excitement. "I think this amazing! This room is just... Incredible!" She turned around, and looked at me. I honestly couldn't help myself from looking into her eyes. They were just incredible, never mind the room!

I stared into her eyes for so long, and she obviously noticed "What's wrong Dennis?" She tilted her head wondering what was wrong. I coughed from embarrassment "Nothing, nothing. Don't worry about it." I just smiled. Winnie knew I was looking at her "Well, alright then." I was relieved since she didn't push on with another question as to why I was staring at her like that.

"Anyway, Winnie how have you been? Seeing anyone?" I felt myself go red. I didn't even mean to ask the last part of the question. It just slipped out, but I was sort of nervous. Only because of the fact that Winnie stopped calling me 'Zing' this made me think that she found someone. I needed to know though. I was super nervous at this point.

Winnie just smiled at me "What do you mean?"

"You know... Have you found someone, as in have you found your Zing?" I felt really nervous at this point. I just wanted this moment to end and talk about something else.

Winnie smirked at me "No, I haven't found my Zing yet. And to answer your first question, I'm doing amazing since I am here!" She smiled at me. If there was one thing that I missed, it was definitely her smile. And how could I forget those eyes. Everything about her made me so happy.

I knew at this point what these feelings were. I had very strong feelings for Winnie. I think it was safe to say that she was my Zing. I was really shy, and I just didn't want to say to her. At least not yet, not until I feel confident enough

"How have you been Dennis?" She then sat on her bed "I have been okay if I am completely honest." "Huh? Something been troubling you?" she asked in a gentle tone in her voice

"I'm not going to lie to you Winnie. I really missed you" After saying that, I felt really soft fur press into me and she gave me the biggest hug I have ever gotten. "I missed you too" she said softly. She then let go, and told me to leave the room for a moment as she wanted to change her t-shirt. I did this, and came back in.

She had put on her favourite t-shirt, nice bright pink colour with the skull in the middle. "You still have that?" Winnie looked at me "Of course! I'm never giving this away. Just surprised it still fits me, a little tight in the chest area though" I smirked and said to myself "Yeah, no wonder. You have big breas-" I then burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?" She asked, laughing at me because I was laughing "Oh nothing. I just thought of something really stupid. Nothing to worry about" I smiled at her. "Well okay then" And she smiled back at me. She gave me a funny look; she did notice I was acting different around her.

"Let's do something!" She asked. "Like what?" I sat down on a chair near the door of the room.

"I don't know... Anything! Hey, why don't we wander the Hotel for a bit?" Winnie stood up and walked towards the door. "Okay sure" I didn't question her, I was just glad to see her again.

I shut her room door behind us, and followed her to the hall way. I really wanted to say to her that my feelings for her were growing out of control. I really wanted to tell her, but I was just shy. But that quickly changed when she just randomly stopped for some reason, gazing into my eyes as if she was holding back a dark secret. But I could tell, behind those eyes contained love for someone.

"Dennis. You know when you asked me if I found my Zing." I just stood and stared at her. I think she has found someone else. But I just went along with it. "Yes I do"

"Well... The truth is. I have found my Zing." She smiled for some reason. I felt like crap when she said those words. I forcefully said "Oh really? Who is it?"

After I said that, I felt her fur press up against me again. I was basically being bear hugged at this point! "You are my Zing Dennis" she gently pushed off of me, but still hugging me as she then gazed into my eyes. I looked into her eyes too "I am not going to delay this any longer Winnie. You are my Zing too. I have really liked you for a long time; I was just really shy to say that I did." I hugged her back, and we held the hug for a solid minute or so before my mom came walking around the corner

"I am so sorry to disturb you both! I'll just... Go somewhere else" Mavis just walked into a random direction.

Myself and Winnie just laughed. "This isn't hard to say, but for some reason it is... I love you Winnie" I felt relieved having finally said it out load, but for Winnie to hear it also.

"Dennis I love you too!" Winnie gave me another bear hug and then let go. "I have also liked you for a very long time

Dennis. Remember when it was my brothers birthday, and I picked you up and thrown you to ground and licked you?" I smiled "Yes I do. You knocked my tooth out" I laughed.

"Well, when I called you Zing, I meant it. I liked you back then, it was just that I didn't know how to express how I felt for you properly. Hence the throwing you around part" She giggled. I laughed too, and gently held her right paw. "I liked you back then too" I smiled at Winnie, as she smiled back.

She then placed the paw I was holding, onto my chest where the paw mark was on my t-shirt. It did match her paw, I knew it did.

"I made this especially for you. I just had to get you something that day before I left. I placed my paw there so it would be close to your heart."

I just melted at this point "Oh Winnie. Thank you so much" I gave her a big hug. Winnie giggled "Don't mention it" And smiled.

I scratched my head, because what I thought of was awkward. But I wanted to do it. "Hey... Can I ask you a question Winnie? Can I kiss you?"

Winnie blushed, and so did I. "Of course you can my Zing"
