Chapter 6

After what seemed like hours of walking, Johnny and Mavis finally made it up to the school.

"We're here, finally," said Mavis "I wonder what punishment I should give them. No tv for a while would be a good start. How about no dessert?"

"Mavis, I think you should let Aunt Wanda and Uncle Wayne deal with them," said Johnny. Before Mavis could respond, they hear a meow from behind them. They turned around and see Ash standing right behind them.

"Well, looks like you two finally made it," said Ash.

"Yeah, and you are?" Asked Mavis.

"Doesn't matter, Mavis. What's important is that you're not going in that school," responded Ash as he hissed. Mavis huffed.

"That's cute, I'll play with you later, but I got something to deal with right now," said Mavis as she began walking to the school.

"Wait, how does the cat know your name?" Asked Johnny.

"Doesn't matter, because your wife is now under my control," Ash responded.

"What the heck are you talking about? I'm under no one's cont…" before Mavis was able to finish her sentence, her head began to hurt like no tomorrow. She screamed in pain as she collapsed to the ground. Johnny rushed to his vampire wife's side.

"Mavis, are you okay?!" Johnny asked with a worried tone in his voice. Instead of responding, Mavis' eyes turned into a dark green color. " asked Johnny as he rubbed Mavis back.

"Keep your hands away from me, human!" Yelled Mavis as she shoved Johnny down to the ground. The Vampire lady stood up, her eyes were bloodshot red. Her voice also had a demonic tone.

"Mavis?!" Johnny yelled out in fear.

"Now then, let's go inside the school," said Ash. Mavis grabbed Johnny by the arm and walked about inside the school.

Meanwhile, inside the school, Dennis and Winnie are trapped inside a cage while Vivien stood before them, laughing at their failure. Willie stood there, he looked guilty. He never intended on tricking his sister like that, he was tricked himself.

"Win...Winnie, listen to me!" Pleaded Willie, trying to get through to his sister.

"I don't want to hear another word from you, Willie!" Yelled Winnie, "As far as I'm concerned, I only have 299 brothers now!" Willie felt his heart shatter in two.

"Why Vivien?" Cried Dennis, "I thought we were friends!" Vivien simply laughed.

"Friends? Why would I be friends with a dumb half bread?!" Vivien snared. "I already don't like vampires. That's why I framed you!"

"Wait, you don't like vampires?!" Winnie asked, "Is that why you framed Dennis?"

"That's half right," Vivien responded as she walked up to Winnie. "I also don't like humans. They're mean!" Dennis was shocked.

"Humans are our friends now," said Dennis.

"Yeah, there's no reason to do this!" Cried Willie. Winnie cringed at her brother's voice.

"Didn't I tell you to shut up?!" Winnie snapped. "What are even still doing here? Just go away." Willie's ears went down as he ran out the door. Viven was kind of shocked.

"Wow, brutal," Vivien said to herself. She then turned her attention towards the trapped Dennis and Winnie. "Now then, I have a little surprise for you."

"Wh-What surprise?" Dennis asked fearfully. Vivien blew a whistle, informing someone to come. A silhouette appeared at the doorway. as the figure began to walk into the room, it began to reveal itself. Dennis knew who that figure was.

It was his mother, Mavis Dracula. She held her husband, Johnny, by the shirt.

"Mom, dad!" Dennis cried. Mavis looked at her son with dark red eyes.

"Hi, Dennis," said Johnny nervously. "How's school?"

"Mom?!" Mavis snared in a demonic voice, "What are talking about, I have no son! Especially one that steals," Dennis felt his eyes watering. Winnie was shocked, why was Aunt Mavis acting like this?

"Aunt Mavis?!" Winnie cried out. Mavis snared.

"You shut your mouth, werewolf!" Mavis shot back. "This is between me and my troublemaking son!" Dennis felt tears coming down his face.

"I can't believe the spell actually worked!" Vivien said while jumping around, excitedly. "My magic is magnificent!"

"So, Vivien, what do you plan on doing now?" asked Ash while he smirked. Vivien's smiled dropped immediately, she had no clue what to do.

"Uh, I don't know," The witch girl responded sheepishly. "I didn't think I'd get this far." Ash's jaw dropped

"You ignoramus!" Ash shouted, making the witch girl flinch. "You had this entire thing all planned out, and you don't know what to do?"

"Watch the tone, pussy. Or I'll make sure your balls are gone!" Vivien shot back. Ash nearly fainted.

"You leave my yarn balls alone!" Ash nearly scream his lungs out. "What am I gonna pass the time with?!"

Dennis and Winnie looked at the witch and cat arguing. Winnie looked confused while Dennis looked annoyed. He wiped the tears from his face and looked at Winnie

"I got framed by her." Dennis said in a disappointing tone as he covered his face in shame "I am so embarrassed."

"Come on, Dennis. I've done some pretty embarrassing things too," said Winnie as she placed her hand on Dennis' shoulder.

"Like clogging the toilet that one night?" Dennis asked casually. Winnie face turned tomato red in embarrassment.

"H-How did you know?!" the werewolf stuttered.

"I saw you ran out the bathroom while it flooded," Dennis responded. "What in the world did you eat?!"

"It was that darn pigeon!" Winnie responded, sharply. Still blushing.

"Nothing to be ashamed about," said Dennis as he placed his hand on Winnie's shoulder. "You're still my best friend."

"Aw, thanks, my zing," said Winnie as she kissed his cheek. Dennis awkwardly shivered.

"That's enough talking!" yelled Ash, he then turned his attention towards Mavis. "Now then, finish them!" Vivien simply facepalmed.

"In case you didn't know, I'm the one in control, I'm the one who gives commands!" Vivien shouted at the black cat, who took a few steps back.

"How dare you talk to me like that?! The cat hissed.

"I can talk to whoever I want," Vivien responded smugly. "I rule the school!" The witch's smug soon faded as she heard a voice that made her heart drop.

"Vivien! What is this tomfoolery?!" Yelled a familiar voice. Viven was scared out of her mind. Dennis and Winnie knew who that voice belong to. It was the principal.

"D-Daddy?" Vivien asked while shivering.

"Daddy?!" Dennis and Winnie yelled in unison.

"Viven, what is this I'm hearing about you framing a vampire boy?!" the principal asked sternly.

"Daddy, it's not what it looks like. I-I was just showing them a magic trick!" Vivien lied to keep herself innocent.

"Why are they in a cage?" The principal asked as he pointed at the cage that's holding Dennis and Winnie. Vivien simply stuttered in fear. "Don't bother lying to me! This boy showed me all the evidence!" The principal stepped out of the way, revealing Willie.

"Willie?" Winnie questioned as she looked at her brother. "But how?" Willie took off his collar and showed it to his sister.

"The official "Detective Jerry" voice and sound recorder collar!" Willie responded. "Records up to two hours! Got it for Christmas."

"Willie, I'm impressed," said Winnie with a frown. "But I still won't forgive you!" Willie chuckled.

"You silly girl. You really think I'll betray my favorite sibling?" He asked with a smug. Winnie was speechless.

"H-how?"

"Allow me to explain;" Wille cleared his throat and began his explanation.

I was walking around the school, trying to find evidence. Because to be honest, Winnie was doing a terrible job. No offense, sister.

It took me a while, but I ran into Vivien. Knew something was strange about her.

"I don't know who Dennis is, but I know who Vivien is," she told me. I knew it was a load of crud, I could smell it.

"Hey, I took a shower this morning!" Vivien yelled, interrupting the story.

"Vivien! No interruptions!" Her father scolded her.

"Sorry,"

"Now where was I? Oh yeah!" Willie continued;

She asked me to come with her. So I did.

When I got to this place she started to tell me a bunch of lies. I can tell they were lies because of the way she shifted her eyes. Classic clue.

So after all that, I had to make the most heartbreaking decision ever; betraying my sister. I had to do what I had to do!

"You made me cry, Willie," Winnie said, sternly. "Detective Jerry would never do that!"

"Actually, he did in book #12, and in the third movie," Willie informed Winnie.

"...You're grounded, forever,"

Anyways, I grabbed Dennis and Winnie and brought them into this room and I began to record the entire conversation until Winnie told me to scram.

"And that's pretty much it," Willie said as he finished his explanation. Winnie was still mad at her brother, but not too mad. Vivien's father, on the other, was angry.

"How could you, Vivien?' Her father asked sternly. " I enrolled you in this school to learn magic and be a good friend!" Vivien looked down in shame.

"Nobody wanted to be my friend," Vivien responded sadly. "Everyone liked that Dennis boy,"

"So you decided to frame my zing?!" Winnie barked at Vivien.

"You think I wanted to do that?!' Vivien cried. Everyone's jaw dropped, except Ash's, who simply huffed.

"What do you mean?" asked Winnie.

"I didn't want to do this!" Vivien responded as tears began to fall from her eyes. "I made a deal with Ash; He promised me more friends!" Ash laughed

"You actually fell for that?!" Ash asked as he laughed. "That was one of my best tricks yet!"

"I adopted you from the shelter, and this is how you repay me?!" Vivien cried as she picked up Ash. The black cat hissed at the witch and hopped from her arms.

"I don't need you, I don't need anyone!" Ash yelled as he ran out the door. "I'm leaving, goodbye!" Willie wanted to go after him, but Vivien grabbed his arm.

"Let him go. It's me you want," said Vivien as tears fell down her eyes. Willie felt kind of bad for her, Winnie wasn't feeling the same way.

"Hey, can you please let us out?" asked Winnie, not caring for the witch girl's tears.

"Right, sorry," Vivien responded as she used her magic to free Dennis and Winnie.

"Now, fix Dennis' mom!" Winnie demanded. Vivien did just that. Mavis's eyes turned from red to her normal color. The vampire lady looked around the room.

"Wh-What happened?" asked Mavis as she rubbed her head. She noticed she was still holding Johnny and dropped him. "Johnny! Oh my gosh, are you okay?!"

"Yeah babe, I'm totally fine," Johnny responded casually. "I've been through worst."

"Can I get an explanation here?" Mavis asked sternly. Vivien walked up to Mavis, nervously shaking.

"Mrs. Dracula? Dennis wasn't the one who stole the items," Vivien began her confession. "It was me." Mavis felt her rage build up, but she remained calm.

"Vivien, this is completely unacceptable!" The witch girl's father informed her. "Not only are you expelled, but you're also grounded for three months! Do I make myself clear?!"

"Yes daddy," Vivien responded in sadness. She then turned her attention to Dennis. "Dennis, I'm so sorry for everything. Can you ever forgive me?" Winnie huffed.

"If you think my zing is going to forgive you, you got another thing coming!" The werewolf girl snared at the witch. Mavis gave Winnie a stern look.

"Winnie, let Dennis handle this," Mavis informed the werewolf. Winnie remained silent.

"Vivien, I forgive you," Dennis responded to the witch girl.

"What?!" Vivien and Winnie yelled in unison.

"Kakie once said that 'A monster should forgive and forget,'" Dennis responded. "Why do you think Papa Drac let humans in the hotel?" Vivien didn't know how to respond to that. But she was glad Dennis forgave her, even if Winnie didn't.

"Thank you, Dennis," said Vivien, "Maybe one day, we can all be friends."

"That's right," said Dennis. Willie was already willing to forgive Vivien. Winnie hesitated, but eventually gave in. During all that, Johnny looked confused.

"So, should we go home now?" asked Johnny. Mavis shook her head.

"Actually, there's one more thing I have to do," Mavis responded as she walked over to Dennis and gave him a big hug. "Dennis, sweetie, I'm so sorry for accusing you like this, you are no longer grounded. Can you ever forgive me?"

"Yes mom, I forgive you," Dennis responded as he hugged her mother back. Winnie smiled at the happy reunion. Just then she heard someone crying, and to her shock, it was her brother. He was crying tears of joy.

"Willie, are you crying?" Winnie asked as she walked up to her brother, who blushed in embarrassment.

"What...No, I have allergies," Willie responded as he sniffed. Winnie hugged her brother.

"I forgive you, brother," the werewolf girl told her brother, who hugged back.

"You're the best little sister ever," the werewolf boy told his sister. Mavis turned her attention to the wolfpups.

"Actually, Willie, Winnie's older than you," The vampire informed Willie. "I was there the day you two were born." Winnie gave her, now confirmed, little brother a smug look.

"Told you, little brother," said Winnie as she playfully punched his arm. Willie simply gave an annoyed sigh as he rubbed his arm. Mavis cleared her throat to get the wolfpups attention.

"Now that that's over with, when we get back to the hotel, you two will be talking to your parents," Mavis informed them sternly. Winnie sighed, she knew this was coming.

"Any punishment you give me will be worth it to clear Dennis' name," Winnie said boldly, "and on top of that, I'll be spending time with my favorite brother in the world." Winnie placed her arm over Willie's shoulder. The werewolf boy didn't know how to respond, but he knew he didn't give a good enough apologie. So, he simply gave his sister a kiss on the cheek. Winnie was stunned, none of her brothers ever did that.

"Aw, so cute," said Mavis. Winnie looked at her brother and smiled as she rubbed her cheek.

"Yuck, boy germs," Winnie said, playfully. Everyone laughed, even Vivien gave a chuckle. The other students in the school looked at what was going on. One was just as confused as the other.

"I think I need to transfer schools,"

Back at the hotel, the anniversary party was taking place. Meanwhile, Dennis paced back and forth in front of a door. Mavis was talking to Winnie and Willie's father, discussing what kind of punishment they should get.

"I hope they don't get in too much trouble," Dennis thought to himself. His train of thought was interrupted when the door opened, showing Winnie and Willie. They both had looks of disappointment.

"How did it go?" Dennis asked with concern. Winnie sighed.

"No TV for a week," Winnie responded.

"And no dessert for a week," Willie responded sadly.

"Look on the bright side, you two get to go to the party!" said Dennis, trying to cheer the wolfpups up.

"Yeah, you're right!" Winnie said happily, "After all, the punishment won't take effect until we go home. That's what daddy said at least."

"Well then, let's get partying!" Dennis said as he jumped up in the air and turned into a bat and flew down the steps. Winnie and Willie followed him.

"Man, this whole Detective thing was really something, wasn't it sis?" Willie asked.

"That one was a dud. You really saved our butts, little bro," Winnie responded.

"You'll get better next time," Willie informed his sister. "Detective Jerry's first case didn't go so well either. The president was kidnapped by aliens because of him."

"Let's hope nothing like ever happens,"

"True that. Now, let's get partying!"

Dennis, Willie, and Winnie had the time of their lives at the party. Despite what happened earlier today, they were all happy to be together.

Epilogue

A few months had passed since that day. Many things have changed.

As part of her punishment, Vivien had to work at the hotel. During that time, she made some new friends, and developed a small crush on Willie, much to his dismay.

Ash the cat was adopted by a much nastier witch, who turned him into a snail, for the rest of his days.

Winnie and Willie were still detectives. However, they only solved cases around the hotel, at the approval of Dracula.

Mavis made sure to check all facts before accusing her son or anyone else. For example, she thought Dennis was the one who ate all the cookies. But after a little investigation, she found out the main culprit was Winnie, who was given a light grounding of three days.

And as for Dennis, he was still the happy little hybrid everyone knew and love. He was also happy because today was the day Winnie gets ungrounded.

"I wonder if Winnie's okay," Dennis told Willie, who chuckled in response.

"She was only doing three days," Willie informed him. "She'll be fine." The two boys noticed Wayne walking into the room with Winnie.

"It's been three days, Winnie. You're free to go," Wayne informed her. Winnie hugged him as a thanks. "Promise me you won't do that again."

"I promise, daddy," said Winnie.

"Good, now go play while I deal with your other siblings," said Wayne as he walked off.

"Winnie, how do feel?" Asked Dennis.

"What year is this?" Winnie asked in an alarming tone.

"2025," Willie responded casually. Winnie was shocked.

"What?! I was only grounded for three days!" Dennis gave a small giggle.

"It's the same year we're in now, Winnie," Dennis informed her. "Willie was just messing with you."

"You're mean, little brother," Winnie said as she crossed her arms and huffed. Willie giggled in response.

"Knock knock," came a voice. The monster trio turned around and saw Vivien sanding at the doorway. "Dracula said I can take a break for a few hours."

"That's good," said Dennis. Vivien than walked up to Willie and held his hands.

"Yep, now I get to spend more time with my zing," Vivien said in a lovestruck voice. Willie stuttered, couldn't find a word to say.

"Aw, my little brother has a zing," Winnie said as she wiped her eye. "He's growing up so fast."

"Not helping, Winnie," Willie informed her. Winnie giggled.

"Come on, Willie, you can't deny it," said Winnie. Dennis giggled. The vampire hybrid was glad things were back to normal.

"What should we do now?" asked Dennis.

"How about a tea party?" Winnie suggested. "Daddy got me a new set for my birthday after my old broke,"

"Sounds fun," Dennis responded.

"Great, I'll go get it now!" Winnie said as she ran out the room to get her set. Vivien still tried to get Willie to zing with her. But he wasn't having it.

"I'm too young to zing!" He blurted out as he fell to the ground. Dennis laughed, it reminded him of the times Winnie tried to zing with him. His train of thought was interrupted when he heard a voice cried out.

"My cup!" That voice belonged to Winnie, who ran to the door with an angry expression. "Who broke my cup?!" She held up the cup, which was broken from a drop. "It wasn't broken this morning!"

"We were all in here this morning," Willie informed her. Winnie crossed her arms.

"Nobody knows, huh?" Winnie walked into the room and picked up her hat. "Come on, Willie."

"Come on what?" He asked.

"I need your assistance," she responded as she put on her hat. "Because this case can only be solved by none other than Detective Winnie!"

End of story.

Note: Wubba lubba dub dub, that was the longest chapter I've ever written.

That's the end of Detective Winnie, thanks for all the support.

What's next:

A series of one-shots starring Winnie. It'll be coming out in 2019, by the time the third movie comes out on Blu-Ray. I'll be taking a break from writing fanfiction to write my own original book that I might publish. This won't be like my fanfictions, I'll hire an editor.

Also, a fan wrote an alternate ending to this story. I can't link it here, but go to Deviantart and look up the user Arkham220.

Winnie needs more love in the HT fandom.
