___________________________________

I was sitting in my drawing sir's room and drawing a sketch of sir's puppy. But this time my mind was locked with that burnt paper. I was not drawing properly. I was thinking about that piece of burnt paper. I have kept it in my pencil case

" Emily what happened to you? You have drawn only the eyes for 1 hour. Stop flying in the sky of your brain and complete this sketch within 30 minutes. You know you have to prepare for your competition" sir told. I completed the sketch and left for home. I knew sir was not satisfied with the sketch. I don't know why I was continuously thinking about that burnt paper.
" No I have to solve this mystery " I said to myself and called Anna for help.
She was so excited after hearing the incident. She loves mystery. In fact she is our school's detective. I knew she was the perfect person to solve this mystery.

" Here ! my bestie. I came for you by swimming 7 dangerous oceans and 8 terrifying mountains. I am here for you my sweet bestie " said Anna with her perfect humorous style.
" Yeah yeah. Now stop joking and help me to solve this mystery " I told her.
" For your kind information, I'm not your assistant. I'm the detective and you are my assistant and will help me " she roared.
" Okay mam!" I said and laughed.

We reached our home and entered straight to my room. George was making a mess with my sketch pens.
I said " George leave my sketch pens and go out of my room. If you don't then I will tell mom that you messed with her hair clips " .
" I will not go and yeah I will tell mom that you messed with her nail polish " he said.

" Okay George! You can stay here but you have to do maths. We will also do maths and make you do maths too" said Anna.

George jumped from the bed and ran downstairs in the name of maths.
We laughed so hard.

" Okay! now tell me what exactly happened? " Anna enquired.
" Today morning something around 8 am , when I was cleaning the floor with the broom. I saw a piece of burnt paper. In it I could only see one word that is ' invite ' . When I asked mommy about this, she stammered and said that she doesn't know and went away. It was like she knows everything but ...." I was about to complete my sentence when Anna said " but she's hiding something from you. Emily! Do you have that burnt paper? It would help me to solve the case if you show that paper to me." Anna said
Anna is always serious when she solves cases. I knew if I crack any jokes now , she would not pay any attention.
So I opened my pencil case and took out the piece of mistery and gave that burnt paper to Anna.
She took the paper and turned it and saw it very carefully. She murmured "t".
I said " What? You want tea? But you don't like tea. Anna I'm so happy that you finally understood the wonderful taste of tea. It's a wonderful feelings you know. You just wait I'm going to ask aunt to make two cup of tea. I'm going to drink too".
" Ufffff! What the hell ! Will you please let me think and stop disturbing me? And what are you even saying? What tea? I don't want to drink your stupid tea"
Anna shouted.
" Hey don't you say that tea is stupid " I said .
" Oh ma! Emily! I'm not saying 'TEA' , I'm saying 'T' " Anna said .
" What do you mean by that? " I asked.
" Look carefully, it's written ' T ' after this 'invite' " .
" woaw! But I also saw that carefully, but why didn't I saw that? " I asked
" Dear Emily, if you could understand everything, I would not be here, you could only investigate everything. " Emily said smiling silently.

" Emily is your mom home? " Anna asked.
" No she is not " I said.
" Great! It's easy for us to investigate . Now let's go to the place you found that paper " Emily said with her bright eyes.

We went to the dust bin corner and started looking for clues.
" You found it around 8 am and now it's 12 : 30 pm. So the clue must be in the same place as it was in morning. You said auntie is not home but where did she went today as it is Sunday? "
"I don't know she went before I went to drawing class" I said.
" I see, okay ! we will see about that later. Now give me a pair of gloves I have to look for any clues inside the dustbin ". Anna said. I gave her a pair of gloves. She wore the gloves and investigated for clues.
" Emily ! Look at this I just found one bit of paper and a lot of ashes. Just look at this paper, it's written academy " Anna jumped and said.
" Anna, I can't understand " I said.
" Oh God ! Your mom's passion is dancing and maybe it's written ' Dance Academy ' " Anna said.
" And maybe it was written ' We invite you to our dance academy '" I jumped and said.
" It seems like my best friend has got some brain. I was thinking the same. Well I solved the mystery now just ask your mom about this. And give me a cup of ~ " Anna said.
" ~ Tea" I shouted
" No ! Coffee " Anna laughed.
I also laughed. I thanked her and hugged her. I was ready to ask my mom about this ' dance academy '
And the day was so awesome. I got to investigate like my favorite cartoon character ....
