Never let anyone tell you your job is easy. If they do, I would proudly advise you to punch them senseless and turn them into your accomplice and show them how 'easy' it is. (If they do a better job than you, however, it would be a good idea to stick your foot in your mouth and fire them).
…In other words, been busy, but here's the next chapter at last.
Reviewer Thanks
Scoobycool9 and Luckycool9 and Steve: Glad you did ^-^; Yep, gotta love that puppy; Ah, can't believe I missed that :P

The small wolf pup walked off with its pack, looking back once at the kids as they stood outside the forest with the cops, telling them all about how they each had met Fangface, their run-in with the Banshee, and the mayhem that followed back at school. "…And we were just trying to keep him out of trouble, sir." Kim finished saying.
"Like we've said before, he's not an evil werewolf." Biff added.
"Yeah, he's a pain in the neck, but he's not so bad once you get to know him," Puggsy admitted.
"So I see," The chief said, rubbing his chin. "But, tell me more about this 'banshee'. Two of my officers said they saw it transform right before their eyes."
"We know the answer to that one, too." Kim replied. "Turns out, your family is descended from the Banshee's family, from her brother actually, while Fangs' family was descended from the shaman. Both families had to do what their ancestors never did and settle their differences,"
"So when Puggsy and Fangface put aside their differences and made up, it helped break the curse," Biff finished.
"Alright… but, how come your friend over there is denying everything?" The chief asked, thumbing over at Fangs, who was talking with the other officers.
"I honestly have no idea what happened," Fangs was saying, scratching his head. "All I know is that I was in school one minute, and suddenly I'm sitting by the creek, seeing a ghostly woman, and Puggsy was hug-mmf!"
Puggsy had covered Fang's mouth. "I suggest you keep THAT little detail to yourself, 'pal'." He muttered, then turned to his dad. "Don't worry, dad. He's not in denial… he's just clueless."
"That's what I've been telling them!"
"Yeah, hard to believe they didn't figure it out sooner,"
A car swerved out just then, and Fangs' parents ran out. "Sherman! Oh thank God you're alright!" Mrs. Fangsworth shouted, bursting out of the car and hugging him tight enough to cut off his air supply. "Oh, I was so worried!"
"Gack! Mom! Not in front of my friends, please!" Fangs choked out.
"Friends? What friends?" Mr. Fangsworth asked, arching an eyebrow.
"He means us, sir." Biff said, stepping up. "You see… we sort of met your son. (Both of him)."
"What?!" Mrs. Fangsworth gasped, and turned to Fangs. "You left the house?!"
"Not exactly, except for a few incidents…" Kim told her.
"What kind of incidents?"
"It's a really long story…" Puggsy sighed.
"I tried sneaking out," Fangs told them. "I was tired of being locked up inside the house all the time, and you guys never gave me a good reason. Grandpa Lou tried telling me I was a werewolf, but I saw through THAT joke, so that night I snuck out and got lost in the woods. That's when I met Puggsy, and then I met Biff when he wrecked his bike in front of the house, and then he introduced me to Kim… Ooh, ooh, and in a weird turn of events, a wild Banshee attacked Grandpa, and I got to go to school… and suddenly I ended up out in the woods."
"You went to school?" Mrs. Fangsworth asked.
"A banshee attacked Grandpa Lou?" Mr. Fangsworth questioned.
"It's not even the half of it, but I believe Fangface can tell you the rest," Kim said, then took out a notebook and a pencil. "And I think I have an easy way for him to show up. Here, Fangs, look at this picture of the moon,"
"How come…?" Fangs began to ask, but suddenly began to transform.
"Here we go," Biff said.
"Arrroooooo!" Fangface howled, then began looking around. "(grr) Where's Pugs?! Where is he?! Ooh, ooh, there he is!"
"What?!" Puggsy snapped, then Fangface picked him up and began shaking him. "Knock it off, nit-wolf! We're friends, remember?!"
Fangface paused, then sat him down. "Ooh, ooh, sorry Pugs, (grr) I almost forgot," he then gave him a peck on the cheek. "Sorry, *smooch* so sorry *smooch smooch*"
"Yech! Cut that out!" Puggsy wiped his cheek off. "Sheesh, if this is what having a werewolf for a friend is going to be like, I'm going to start carrying around more silver,"
"You kids know Fangface, too? …And you're not afraid of him?" Mrs. Fangsworth asked, surprised.
"Not at all, ma'am. He's actually a great guy," Kim said, giving Fangface a hug, making him blush a bit.
"Up to a certain point—oof!" Puggsy muttered, grunting when Biff nudged him in the ribs.
"Did he… come to school, too?" Mr. Fangsworth asked.
"Yeah… actually that's how all this mayhem began." Biff said. "Some girl in our class freaked out and ordered a bunch of hunters to come after him,"
"Not to mention the school bully tried to get him too," Puggsy added.
"But we took care of everything…" Kim began. A limousine pulled up just then, and she sighed. "Well… ALMOST everything."
Misty stepped out with her parents, storming up and pointing at Fangface. "That's him, Daddy! That's the werewolf that tried to attack me!" she snapped. "I want him chained up and locked away somewhere! Him, AND his loser accomplices!"
"My goodness, so there is one after all," Mr. Meene said, surprised. He then snapped his fingers. "Very well. Officers, if you'd please…"
"I'm sorry, sir, but I'm afraid your daughter is just crying wolf (no pun intended)." The chief said. "This werewolf, according to these kids, is a good-natured friend of theirs and has done no harm,"
"Lies! They're working with him! And they convinced Biff that they're friends of his, trying to drag him down to the slums just like-"
"Oh, SHUT UP YOU SNOB!" Kim shouted, storming up to Misty. "You can talk trash about me all you want, but I draw the line at you making up stories about my friends! You think you're so high and mighty just because you have money, but you're nothing more than a spoiled brat! You don't know Fangface, Puggsy, or Biff, so you have no right to say whatever you want about them!"
"Yeah. Kim, Puggsy and Fangface are the best friends I've ever had, and I'm willing to hang out with them every chance I get… rather than a heartless girl like you," Biff said, stepping up and putting his arm around Kim. "…And one more thing, Misty- leave me alone. You creep me out,"
Kim smiled at him and he gave her a wink.
Misty exploded right then and there. "Get… away… from him!" she screamed, lunging at Kim…
*Bam!*
…Who finally got the nerve to punch Misty in the mouth. "Those boxing lessons really paid off," Kim said, grinning as Misty saw stars. "Thanks, Pugs,"
"Don't call me… ah, forget it." Puggsy said, rolling his eyes.
"Come on, young lady. I believe it's time we've had a long talk about your people skills," Mrs. Meene said firmly, dragging Misty off.
"But… but… but…" Misty was stammering, her eye twitching.
"So sorry for all the trouble," Mr. Meene said to the Fangsworths. "I assure you it won't happen again,"
"That's good to hear," Mr. Fangsworth replied.
"Now lets go see Grandpa Lou in the hospital, and when we get home, we have a long talk to have ourselves," Mrs. Fangsworth said to Fangface, and they went home, as did the rest of the kids.
The wolf pup turned and continued on, happy that she wasn't the only one who had found her pack.

Eight Months Later…
It was the last day of school, and the kids walked down the hallway. It seemed like yesterday they hardly knew one another- Puggsy always ignoring Biff, Biff trying to befriend Kim, Kim feeling uncomfortable about being so far from her old friends- yet there they were that day, walking down the hallway, ready to hang out with each other for the summer.
"What do you think Fangs is doing?" Kim asked.
"Lets see," Biff said, and they turned the corner, seeing Fangs was clearing out his locker. "Hey, Fangs, what took you so long?"
"Sorry, I had to help load up chemistry sets in the lab closet," Fangs answered, pulling his backpack on. "Ooh, ooh, hope I have a different class next year. Maybe I should take astrology, huh? I know a few things about navigating by the stars,"
"I gotta say, Fangs, you didn't do too bad for your first year," Puggsy told him. "…You goofed up a few times the first day, but didn't goof up as much the rest of the year,"
"Well I have you guys to thank for that, you helped me finally get out of the house, and showed me the ropes."
"And now we've got three whole months to kick back and relax," Biff said, as they walked out the doors.
There was screaming in the streets just then, as a large hole formed in the streets. "Mole people! See?! I TOLD you they exist!" Freddy could be heard shouting.
"Like, stop boasting and run, Fred!" Shaggy cried.
"People of Coolsville! Today your city will fall to the power of The Mole King!" One of the mole people shouted.
The kids looked at each other. "Looks like this is a job for Fangface," Kim said.
"Fang-who?" Fangs questioned, while Kim showed him a picture of the moon.
Every four-hundred years a baby werewolf is born into the Fangsworth family, and so when the moon shines on Sherman Fangsworth, he changes into…
In a matter of seconds, Fangface arrived. "Arrrroooo!"
Fangface, a werewolf
The werewolf then grabbed Puggsy and began shaking him, until his friend pointed over at the Mole People, exclaiming how they had to stop them, and Fangface ran into action… his eyes accidentally falling on a poster with the sun on it, changing back to Fangs.
Only the sun can change him back
Fangs screamed and began running from Mole People, who pursued with spears.
So Fangs grew up and teamed up with three daring teenagers: Kim, Biff, and Puggsy, and together they find danger, excitement, and adventure
Kim, Biff, and Puggsy pulled him into an alley, showing him a picture of the moon once more, and then the werewolf ran out after the Mole People, who began to pursue him and the others to the football field, chasing them through the bleachers.
Kim was grabbed by a Mole from behind, which Fangface noticed. He snarled, diving behind and snagging Kim back, running.
Mole people then surrounded the three teens and werewolf, who noticed a large switch to the side and turned it on, making the stadium lights flash on and blind the mole people, scaring them to going back underground.
Who can save the day? Who can wrong the rights… and right the wrongs?
He then saw a picture of nachos and turned to Puggsy, who tried running through the bleachers, but the werewolf slammed his foot down on a plank and sent the teen flying through the air, where he caught him in two slices of bread. Rather than eating him, however, he gave him a peck on the cheek.
None other than… Fangface!
"Ooh, ooh," Fangface said, as the sun came out and changed him back to Fangs, and he walked off with the others into the sunset.

A/N: Like I did with 'The First Mystery', I decided to use the old Fangface intro to close off the story… and I couldn't help but throw in the Mole People Overlords XD
Well, it appears the story has come to an end. Thanks for reading, please review… and flame if you want hot coals stuffed into your navel cavity.
