It was midnight in Transylvania. Most of the monsters, outside of a few night owls, were sleeping peacefully, including the infamous werewolf family.

Except for one child, Willie.

For some reason, Willie couldn't sleep, no matter how hard he tried.

"Darn it, why can I sleep?!" Willie asked himself. "Maybe mommy or daddy can help me." Willie got out of bed and walked out of the room without waking his sisters, who he was sharing a room with.

Willie eventually made it to his parent's room. However, he noticed the door was slightly cracked open, it's usually shut.

"Huh, guess they forgot to close the door," Willie said to himself as he peaked through the door. What he saw next surprised him.

His father, Wayne, was sleeping (or at least tried to). His mother, Wanda, on the other hand, wasn't in the bed.
In fact, she wasn't even in the room!

"Wh-where did mommy go?" Willie asked himself as he ran down to the lobby.
When he got there, he noticed Wanda leaving through the lobby doors.
She began to look around, to make sure nobody was following her. Willie managed to hide just in time. The wolfpup was fortunate enough that his mother's nose didn't work anymore due to changing so many dirty diapers.

"Looks like no one's following me," Wanda said to herself as she walked out the door. Willie followed her shortly afterward.

Wanda walked through the human village, waving at the (mostly) friendly humans.
Willie hid through bushes, light poles, garbage cans, anything that can hide his little body.

"What's mommy up to?" Willie asked himself as he continued to follow his mother throughout town.

After a half-hour of walking, Wanda made it to her destination. She stood in front of a rundown building and gently knocked on the door.
Willie stood behind a light pole, hoping he wouldn't get spotted.

After a few seconds, the door cracked open. A female kitsune popped her head out the door. She smiled as soon as she saw Wanda.

"Another rough day, huh Wanda?" Asked the kitsune.

"You know it, Lyra," responded Wanda. "The kids were acting crazy today! My son, Willie, got into a major fight with my daughter, Winnie." Willie cringed at the mention of that event. He still had scratches and bite marks all over his body.

"Geez, sounds rough!" Exclaimed Lyra.

"That was only the beginning," said Wanda.
"My husband lost a bunch of our money gambling, I tripped over one of Dennis' toys, Sunny puked on me, twice! And--"

"Okay, okay!" Lyra interrupted Wanda. "I see, your day sucked! Now get in here!" Lyra opened the door a little more, just enough for Wanda to easily walked in. Lyra looked around before shutting the door and locking it.
Willie stood there with a shocked expression, he never knew how stressed out his mother really was.

Inside the building, Lyra and Wanda stood in the center, they were the only two in the building.

"You weren't followed, were you?" Asked Lyra in a stern tone.

"No, it's just me!" Responded Wanda.

Outside, Willie became even more confused. What was so important that made his mother leave the Hotel this late at night?

"Well, Wanda, ready to do this?" Asked Lyra, with a huge grin on her face.

"You bet!" Responded Wanda, with a grin just as large as Lyra's.

"Do you have the photos?" Wanda nodded and took out three pictures; One of Wayne, one of Ericka and her Grandfather, and the last was Murray.

"Murray accidentally dropped one of my babies," Wanda said in a low voice. Willie peaked through a window, wondering what the two were doing.
