One night, Dennis was very very very excited. Even though he has celebrated his fifth birthday, and has gotten a cake, and lots of presents, there's one present in particular that Dennis really, really wants.
That present was a puppy. "Puppy! Puppy! Puppy!", Dennis said with glee, as he kept on bouncing with excitement. "Mommy, Daddy, can we please get a puppy?", Dennis asked. He was hoping for his parents to say 'Yes.', but instead...
"I'm sorry, sweetie.", Mavis said, much to Dennis' disappointment, "Having a puppy is a BIG responsibility.". "Why don't we get you a little goldfish instead...", Johnny asked, but was interrupted by Dennis crying and flying back to his room.
"I want a puppy!", Dennis said with sadness, to which Luan was in the same room. "You want a puppy?", Luan said, "Puppies are cute, but I also have a pet rabbit!". "This is Gary.", Luan said.
"Hi, Gary.", Dennis said, but he was still sad. "What's the matter, don't you like Gary?", Luan asked, but Dennis said, "Yes, but I want to have my own pet. Cebause, your family has lots of pets, and I don't.".
"Well, you might get a pet one day.", Luan said, saying that Gary needs to take a walk. "Goodbye, Dennis.", Luan said, to which Dennis said a sad, "Bye.", back.
Dennis still looked out the window, now in his bat form, and has a sulking face. Dracula and Lucy were just walking by when they noticed the little bat boy all depressed. "Dennis,", Lucy said, "Why the doopy face?". "I wanted a puppy, Lucy.", Dennis said.
"Wait a second!", Dennis said, realizing an idea formed in his head, "You and Papa Drac can get me a puppy!". "No way, no how!", Dracula said, with Lucy agreeing, "That's right, I already have a dog named Charles who spends time with Lincoln, so you can just...".
Dennis soon did the pouty bat face, which caused Lucy to show empathy. "Why is it that I have feelings for the young boy, Drac.". "He's your friend, Lucy.", Dracula said, to which she and Drac agreed to get a puppy.
Later, the Loud family were having dinner with Dennis, Mavis and Johnny. "Where's Lucy?", Lincoln asked, "She should've been here five minutes ago.". "Not only that?", Mavis added, "Where's my dad?".
Soon, Drac and Lucy got through the door, but they were struggling. "Where have you been?", Lincoln asked Lucy. "Well,", Lucy said, "Me and Dracula somehow... went to the pet store to get a...".
Soon, the thing that was making Dracula and Lucy struggle barged in. It was a giant rottweiler puppy, with huge eyes and a giant smile. "Puppy!", Dennis and Lana said in unison, with Lily also hugging the dog. "Dad.", Mavis said sternly, to which Dracula said, "What, Lucy has feelings for Dennis. And those feelings affected me too.".
"We're going to be friends forever!", Dennis said, to which he and Lana are on the dog's back. "Now, naming your pet is a big responsibility.", Dracula said to which he gives out suggestions like Ghensis Khan, and Nosferatu.
"How about Tinkles!", Lana said, to which Dracula soon got shocked. "My bedroom!", Lori said, noticing that Tinkles was urinating in Lori's room. "Okay, I'll see ya later, bye.", Dracula said, much to Mavis' annoyance.
"Great,", Lisa said with frustration, "Now we've got ANOTHER pet in the household.". "Look on the bright side.", Luan added, "At least Dennis is happy.". "Plus,", Lincoln said, "Do rottweilers grow that large?", to which Lisa was puzzled for a bit.
Afterwards, Lincoln told Lucy and Dracula, who moved their coffins in a quiet room, "Drac, Lucy, can you watch Tinkles for us, while Dennis goes to school?". "Say bye to Tinkles,", Mavis said, to which Dennis said, "Bye, Tinkles.".
As Lucy and Drac were still sleeping, they soon got woken up by the clutter sounds of their coffins shaking. Tinkles was shown playing with the coffins, to which the two sleepyheads woke up. "Do you think it was be a good idea to have our coffins next to each other, Lucy?", Dracula asked, to which Lucy said, "No.".
"What do you want, Tinkles?!", Lucy asked, to which she got licked in the face. Soon, Tinkles has a leash in his mouth, to which Lucy said, "You need to go outside? Let's get this over with.".
Outside, Tinkles was busy doing his business, to which Drac and Lucy were watching. "This is supposed to be Lana's job!", Lucy complained, to which Drac said, "Yeah. where's Lana when you need her.".
"Ok.", Lana said, "Your sink is all fixed up.", Lana said, revealing that she is busy doing the plumbing. "Thank you.", said a cyclops monster, "Now if you can just do my toilet.". "On it.", Lana said.
"You're all done now?", Lucy said, to which she noticed Charles' toy ball, and she and Drac decided to tease Tinkles with it. "Sit, Up, Down, Shake, Roll over, Up, Shake, Sit, Down, Up, Roll over, Speak!", Lucy and Drac said, to which in their surprise, the dog said, "Hi, how are you?".
Soon, Lucy and Drac were doing normal things in the hotel, to which Tinkles was by their side. "You know, the more I think about it.", Dracula said, "Having a dog, might not be so bad after all.".
"Yeah, I agree.", Lucy said, "I mean, what's the worst that could happen?". "Sir,", said one of the suits of armor, "The Bones Family will be arriving in the main lobby soon.". "Oh, good...", Lucy said, before realizing something.
"What's wrong, Lucy?", Dracula asked, to which Lucy said, "Have you ever heard the pharse, 'Like a dog with a bone.'?". "No, why?", Drac asked, to which Lucy said, "You'll see.".
"The Bones family is revealed to be a bunch of skeletons, and when Tinkles saw them, he went bonkers. Lucy and Drac tried to stop them, but unfortunately they were unsuccessful.
"Did you have a great day at school?", Mavis said, to which Lincoln said, "Well, yes! I can't believe my teacher decided to teach classes here now, right Clyde?". "Uh, yes, plus it's saves us some time, because the school is in the hotel.".
"What about you, Dennis?", Lincoln said, to which Dennis said that he missed Tinkles. Suddenly, the four noticed the mess in the main lobby. "What happened here?!", Mavis asked to which Dracula said, "Tinkles happened!".
"I didn't know Dennis has a dog.", Clyde said to Lincoln. "Well, Lucy and Drac got it for him, yesterday.", Lincoln said. Lucy was now angry, as she is constantly licked by the giant dog. "Look what you made us do!", she screamed, "You made us babysit a puppy, and we almost got slobbered! You might not be ready for this, and it was ambitious work! You should be ashamed of yourself".
Dennis now heartbroken, didn't say anything else and instead flew to his room while crying. "What did you do, Lucy.", Mavis said, to which Lucy said, "Well, I didn't mean to get mad.". "Dennis is just learning to take care of a pet, like you are.", Lincoln added.
"But...", Lucy said, to which Dracula said, "He's right. It's like taking care of my piranhas. You need to learn how to care of them.". "Well... I...", Lucy said, noticing her brother glaring at her. "You're right, I should go talk to Dennis and apologize to him.". "Me and Tinkles are coming too.", Lincoln said.
Dennis was now in his room, crying, until there was a knock on the door. "Go away!", he said, before the door opened to reveal Lucy, Lincoln and Tinkles.
"What do you want?", Dennis said, who was still sad. "Dennis,", Lucy said, "I'm sorry that I yelled at you. It's just,", she continued, "I'm just so frustrated and angry about taking care of Tinkles.". Lincoln soon added, "Yes, but she really want to take care of him while you're gone.".
"But...", Dennis said, "You sound like you hate him.". "I don't,", Lucy said, "It's just... he can be a bit of a handful sometimes. And I like him, just as much I like you.". Dennis soon stopped crying, "Really.", he said. "Really.", Lucy said, "You're my friend, and friends often like each other.".
"Thanks.", Dennis said, hugging Lucy. "Well, now that's all settled with.", Lincoln said, "Let's just hope that...". Suddenly, Lori screamed, "My bedroom again?!", to which Tinkles is doing his business again in Lori's room. "I thought I let him out already.", Lucy said.
"Well, it's a good thing you are the perfect person for the job.", Lincoln teased, to which Lucy said, "Well, now it's your turn to take him out.". "What?!", Lincoln said, to which Dennis and Lucy laughed.
