Author's Note: Well hello! I've seen Who Framed Roger Rabbit many times and an idea for a story just popped right into my head. Plus this is a tribute to the late Bob Hoskins (who played Eddie Valiant in the movie). I came up with an idea of Eddie having a sister who solved the mystery surrounding Roger Rabbit with him.

So anyways, read on and leave a review. Also, no flames please; this is my first WFRR fan fiction so don't be vicious.

Reminder: The movie, plot, and characters belong to Touchstone Pictures. I just own my OC.

Chapter 1

In Hollywood 1947, two private detectives by the names of Eddie and Linda Valiant were watching a filming of a new cartoon starring Roger Rabbit and Baby Herman. Roger was begging with Raoul St. Raoul the director to do the refrigerator scene again just so he can see stars instead of birds, but Raoul was very frustrated having done the scene 23 times. As Roger followed him, he bangs his head with a frying pan trying to convince Raoul that he could give him stars.

Eddie scoffs.

"Toons," He said.

"Give him a break will ya?" Linda asked. "He's having a rough day."

"All right," Eddie said with an eye roll as he took a swig of his drink.

The two siblings went over to R.K. Maroon's office. Maroon's secretary opens the door.

"Mr. Maroon. Mr. Valiant and Miss Valiant are here to…" She said.

Maroon holds his hand up, as a way to say "in a minute."

"He'll be right with you both." The secretary informed them. She shuts the door.

While Maroon was going over a cartoon with an editor, Linda and Eddie look around his office.

A booming sound echoes.

"No, no, no!" Maroon scolded. "Wait until he gets to his feet, and then hit him with the boulder."

"Right R.K.!" The editor said, gathering the film and left.

Maroon faced the Valiants.

"How much do you know about show business, Mr. Valiant? Miss Valiant?" He asks.

"Only there's no business like it…no business I know." Eddie replied.

"Plenty," said Linda.

"Yeah, and there's no business more expensive." Maroon snapped. "I'm twenty five grand over budget on the latest Baby Herman cartoon. You two saw the rabbit blowing his lines; he can't keep his mind on his work. Know why?"

"One too many refrigerators dropped on his head?" Eddie asked.

Linda chuckled.

"Nah, he's a toon. You can drop anything you want on his head." Maroon advised. "He'll shake it off. But break his heart, he goes to pieces just like you and me; read that." He handed Eddie a newspaper article.

Eddie takes it and began to read while Linda peered at it.

"Seen cooing over calamari with not-so-new sugar daddy was Jessica Rabbit, wife of Maroon cartoon star Roger."

"OK, what does this have to do with us?" Linda questioned.

"You're both private detectives, you'd figure it out." Maroon replied.

"Look, we don't have time for this." Eddie insisted.

"Look, Valiant. To us his wife's poison, but to him she's Betty Crocker. I want you both to follow her." Maroon instructed. "Get me a couple of nice, juicy pictures I can wise the rabbit up with."

"Are you kidding?" Linda asked with disbelief.

"Forget it, we don't work Toontown." Eddie said.

"What's wrong with Toontown?" Maroon asks. "Every Joe loves Toontown. Even Linda here likes Toontown."

"Then get Joe to do the job, because Linda and I ain't going!" Eddie protested.

"Whoa," said Maroon. "If you and your sister don't want to go to Toontown, you don't have to go to Toontown. Nobody said you guys have to go to Toontown anyway. Have a seat Valiants."

He placed the detectives in two chairs.
"The rabbit's wife sings at a joint called the Ink and Paint Club." Maroon informed. "Toon Revue, strictly humans only. So what do you say?"

Eddie doesn't respond. Linda noticed he was eyeing a bottle of liquor behind Maroon's desk.

"Well?" Maroon asked impatiently.

Eddie gets up.

"The job's gonna cost you a hundred bucks, plus expenses." He said.

"Atta boy, Eddie." Linda thought.

"A hundred bucks?" Maroon demanded. "That's ridiculous!"

"So's the job!"

"All right, all right. You got your hundred bucks." Maroon said. "Have a drink, Eddie. You too, Linda."

"I don't mind if I do," said Eddie. He pours himself a drink. Linda got up and helped herself.

"Are you up for this?" She asked.

"No, but what choice do we have?" Eddie replied.

"None," Linda answered.

The duo heard a commotion outside the studio. They peeked through the blinds to a couple of guys drop a crate and toon instruments fell out, playing band music while the group struggled to put them back.

Linda and Eddie glanced at Maroon to see if he was paying attention which he wasn't.

When they turned around all of a sudden, a huge figure with blue eyes appeared causing Eddie to yelp and Linda to scream.

Maroon stood up from his seat. He glanced at the brother and sister who were hiding.

"Kind of jumpy, aren't you guys?" Maroon asked. "It's just Dumbo."

"We know who it is." Eddie said sharply as he and Linda get up from the floor.

"I got him on loan from Disney, him and half the cast of Fantasia." Maroon explained.

He pulls the blinds up.

"The best part is they work for peanuts." Maroon throws a handful of peanuts out the window. Dumbo catches it with his trunk and flew away.

"Well I don't work for peanuts," said Eddie.

"Neither do I." Linda added.

"Where's the other fifty?" Eddie asks.

"Let's call the other fifty a carrot to finish the job." Maroon suggested.

"You've been hanging around rabbits too long." Eddie commented.

"And you ought to give it a rest." Linda interjected, following Eddie out of Maroon's office.

A/N: So I'm going to end this chapter right here, but more soon!

Also a little later on in the story you'll learn more about Eddie and Linda's relationship and the relationship they had with Teddy.
