Author's note: This story serves as the origin story for Dimension Five Timeline Two, which consists of late-1980s-early-1990s versions of SDWAY, early-1990s version of TSDS, the Case of the Moat Monster, the 1998-2001 DTVs (Zombie Island to Cyber Chase) and my upcoming reboot of Shaggy and Scooby-Doo Get a Clue! In this dimension, all human members of the gang are born in 1972.

This story takes some basis from the original script for the rubbish first live-action film (And believe me, the script is a whole lot better than the final product), along with my ongoing Dimension Four origin story A Coolsville Central High School Story, the 2009 live-action film The Mystery Begins and the 1993 Super Mario Bros. film.

Like Dimension Four, Coolsville is located in Southern California, near the Los Angeles metropolitan area.

In addition, this dimension's timeline makes use of a floating timeline between 1999 and 2009, where characters ages once every five years, so for instance, Shaggy turns 27 in 1999, and then he turns 28 in 2004.

Note: D5-2 (Dimension Five Timeline Two) is not to be confused with D52 (Dimension 52), which consists of my City of Mysteries series and is darker and more serious than the stories in D5-2.

I don't own Scooby-Doo. Hanna-Barbera Productions and Warner Bros. does.


Chapter 1: A typical school day

October 3, 1988

It was a typical Monday morning in the bedroom of Norville "Shaggy" Rogers, a sixteen-year-old teenage boy with dusty brown shaggy hair.

As usual, his alarm clock goes off at 7:30, leading the thin and tall teenager to groan as he shuts it off before stretching his arms.

"Man, I hate Mondays." He muttered under his breath as he stretched his arms and yawned.

After reluctantly getting off his comfortable bed, Shaggy made his way for the washroom, almost tripping over his pet Great Dane Scoobert "Scooby" Doo in the process.

"Like, morning, Scoob." He said to Scooby.

"Morning, Raggy." Scooby replied as he, too, stretched his legs and yawned before he getting up.

After washing his face and brushing his teeth, Shaggy returned to his bedroom and put on his trademark green shirt and brown pants before grabbing his schoolbag and made his way down the stairs to join his family at the breakfast table.

His father Chief of Police Samuel Chastain "Sam" Rogers was already at the dining table finishing his coffee and reading the newspaper, while his fourteen-year-old sister Maggie Rogers and mother Wendy Rogers were serving breakfast.

Sam is the city's chief of police, having been appointed to the post three years back by the city's police departmental board and mayor, who viewed him as the answer to solving the police departments decay following a string of scandals that questioned the credibility of the Coolsville Police Department. Prior to his promotion to captain, he had a reputation as an excellent detective who never fails to close a case and always pursues his cases relentlessly.

Wendy is a senior healthcare manager at the Coolsville Metro Hospital, having had worked as a nurse before. She and Sam met when the latter, as a young patrol officer, got admitted to the hospital after getting shot while taking part in a drug raid several years back, an act that led him to be awarded with the departments bravery metal after he managed to take down two heavily armed gangsters even after he got shot.

"Like, morning, Mom, Dad, Maggie." Shaggy says as he placed two waffles into the toaster before grabbing the cereal box, a bowl and the milk bottle and prepared his cereal breakfast and cup of water.

"Morning, Norville." Sam replied as he put down the newspaper. "Another case of Monday Blues, I suppose."

"Yeah." Shaggy replied after taking a sip of his water. "Like, I swear that the weekends aren't long enough for us to relax."

"Well, your mother and I had to go through having Sunday as the single day of the weekend back when we were your age, Norville." Sam pointed out as his son digged in. "You and Maggie and kids these days are lucky to have Saturday off nowadays."

"True." Maggie nodded as her brother dug into his breakfast.

"Are you alright, Sam?" Wendy asked her husband as she noticed his face looking like he was bothered by something. "You look like something's bothering you."

"Well, there has been another disappearance near Coolsville Central High School." Sam sighed. "That's the third one this month alone, and I'm really worried about the safety of Norville and Maggie, since my detectives can't really figure out what on earth was going on."

"Well, Norville's a grown boy, Sam." Wendy said. "He can take care of himself, right dear?"

"Like, you and Dad never questioned me when I asked to borrow the family car, Mom." Shaggy replied after taking a bite of his waffle with maple syrup. "Plus, I always return home with the car still in one piece."

"Yes, we know that." Sam said. "It's just that with these strings of disappearances near you school lately, son, and I really want you and Scooby to be vigilant, especially for any signs of suspicious activity, when you're at school."

"Like, don't worry, Dad." Shaggy reassured his father. "Scoob and I are always on the lookout for anything spooky. In fact, if we encounter danger or anything suspicious, the next thing you know, we're already down the road running on our way to the nearest police station."

"Good." Sam nodded in approval.


Later after breakfast, Shaggy grabbed his schoolbag and made his way to the front door, where Scooby was waiting.

After putting on his black sneakers, Shaggy bid his family farewell before he and Scooby made their way to their school.

As they made their way towards the sidewalk along Maple Street, they both took a glance at the large mansion across the street.

Right at where Maple Street ends and joins Easy Street is the Blake Mansion, home to the Blake family, who is among the city's wealthiest citizens.

Both Shaggy and Scooby knew the Blake family daughter, in the form of the attractive sixteen-year-old red-haired girl named Daphne Blake, who is in fact a schoolmate of them, although they rarely interact with her.

The walk to Coolsville Central High School took about twenty minutes, and when they arrived at the school entrance, Scooby immediately splits up with him.

"Like, have fun at the canine hangout, Scoob." Shaggy said to Scooby.

"Ri will, Raggy." Scooby replied with a smile before joining his waiting friends.

Watching Scooby shaking paws with his cousin Scooby Dum, as well as with Huckleberry Hound, Spike the Bulldog and Ruff, Shaggy sighed as he entered the school.

As he made his way to his locker in the juniors locker section, he ran into some of his friends, many of them greeting him with handshakes and fist-bumping.

"There's Central's swingingest!" One of the sophomores remarked as they saw Shaggy.

Shaggy nodded and smiled proudly as he heard the remark. As Central's swingingest gym student, he has taken part in a large number of gymnasium activities and events, including state championships in which he had helped the school won first place in the past school year.

Also, he was known for his proficiency in the guitar and was a guest guitarist in a concert of the pop band Mysteries Five, whose members are all Coolsville Central alumni and consists of Geoff Silverman, Michael "Mike" Sanders, Kelly McDougal, Linda Rickman, her twin brother Walter Wilkins "W.W" Rickman and their pet dog Too-Much, all of whom are good friends with him.

In addition, he serves as the school's radio voice, doing the morning announcements and playing music during recess time under the training of long-time radio host Cameron Kasem.

After putting his school bag into his locker, he grabbed a binder, placed a pencil on his left ear and swiftly made his way to the main office, where the school radio station is located at.

As he entered the main office, Daphne, who was carrying a pile of papers and leaving the editor room, accidentally collided with him.

"Zoinks!" Shaggy said as they bumped into each other.

"Jeepers!" The girl said as she dropped the pile, leading the papers to scatter around. "Sorry about that!"

"Like, don't worry about it." Shaggy replied as he stopped to help her pick up the scattered papers. "I should've watched where I was going."

"Well, they didn't call me 'Danger-Prone Daphne' for nothing." Daphne replied as she crouched down to pick up the papers.

"I see." Shaggy nodded understandingly as he continued helping. In no time did they finish picking up the papers. "Like, do you need help? The stack looks pretty high."

"Oh, no." Daphne replied with a smile. "I'm fine, but thanks anyways."

"Like, no problem." Shaggy smiled back before they carried on with whatever they were doing.

Soon, Shaggy sat in the broadcasting booth with the headphones on, and after Mr. Kasem tested the equipment and made sure everything is working out smoothly, the bell rang and they went on the air.

During the five-minute recess period, Shaggy started playing Billy Idol's Don't Stop album, with the rock stars version of Mony Mony playing first through the speakers.

After the bell rang, Shaggy's radio voice started echoing throughout the school.

"Like, good morning, Central. It's Central's Swingingest Shaggy Rogers on the chair here with your morning announcements, right after the national anthem and pledge of allegiance." Shaggy spoke.

His voice was soon replaced by the performance of the national anthem, followed by the pledge of allegiance.

Once that was done, he started going through the morning announcements, mentioning the purchase of yearbooks and upcoming Halloween party, in addition to a special note about the recent disappearances near the school grounds and the need for the faculty to remain vigilant to stay safe as the police continue to investigate those disappearances.

Eventually, he ended his radio broadcast by saying, "And that's all for today, Central. Have a wonderful day. Shaggy Rogers signing off."

With that, the radio network went off the air.
