Return to Ghoul School Part 1
All was quiet in the home of Shaggy and Scooby-doo. It was in the dead of midnight as the two slept in their separate beds in the same room. Both snoring loudly which could be heard through the halls of their house. It had been three days after the two goofballs were finally able to convince their three friends to take a break from solving mysteries and head back to Coolsville, and it was all thanks to their last mystery: The Griffin at Madelyn's magic school. That and the fact Madelyn forced the other three to do it.
Scooby tugged his pillow closer to him as he snored and move over to suck on his thumb. All was quiet within the home when suddenly; there came an ear-splitting ringing noise that woke Scoob and Shaggy right up. The two let out a small yelp as they heard the noise. Shaggy rubbed his eyelids and Scooby shook his head to get his vision clearer.
"Like, what's that noise Scoob?" Shaggy turned to his best friend and asked. Scooby's ears perked up as the ringing noise came again.
"R'I think it's rhe rhone Raggy!" Scooby said as he yawned and looked at the clock. It read 12:47 a.m. Scooby looked annoyed at being woken up as well as Shaggy.
"Like, I'll get it" Shag said as he stumbled out of bed and put on some slippers. He walked out of room while yawning as Scooby pulled his covers over himself and went back to sleep.
Shaggy walked down his hallway as the ringing of the phone got louder. It got more annoying as he got closer to it. After one last yawn, he picked up the phone and answered it.
"Like, hello? Who is this?" Shaggy asked. There was heavy breathing on the other line, it sounded like the person was out of breath.
"S-s-s-sh-haggy? Is th-th-tha-that you?" A very nervous voice whispered into the phone. Shaggy quickly recognized the voice. It was none other than Fred, the leader of the group. He sounded really scared, but at the moment Shaggy really didn't care and only wanted to get back to sleep.
"Fred? What's the deal, man! Calling me and Scoob in the middle of the night like this! This like, better be good Fred or I'm hanging up, pronto!" Shaggy said, very annoyed as he walked over to the kitchen counter and turned on the light to see better.
"I'm s-sorry, b-but I need your help! NOW!" Fred said frantically. Shaggy had never heard Fred like this and was getting worried because of this.
"What's wrong man? Is it the late-night neighborhood pranksters again? Did they catch you sleep walking and suspend you from the tree again?" Shaggy asked, remembering the time those pranksters caught Freddie sleep walking out of his house and suspended him in his tree in his lucky ducky undies.
"No, WORSE! MY HOUSE IS HAUNTED!" Fred screamed in fear. Shaggy gained a confused look on his face.
"Huh? What do you mean Fred?" Shaggy asked.
"Well, to start…I'm floating…and…I'M BEING SWUNG AROUND IN CIRCLES AS I SPEAK!" Freddie screamed and in the background, we could hear the sound of many things being thrown, broken, and twirled while insane laughter could be heard. The next thing Shaggy heard on the phone was only static!
"Zoinks! I've got to tell the others!" Shaggy said in a nervous tone and dialed the number of Daphne and Velma. It was a good thing the two shared the same house for many reasons. After a few seconds, someone answered the phone. A yawn could be heard.
"Okay, who calls me at a time like this? This better not be a trick!" A half-awake Daphne hissed through the phone.
"Like, it's me Shaggy! Wake up Velma, Daph! Fred's in trouble! We've got to get to his house, pronto!" He said quickly. It took a few seconds for Daph to respond.
"Fred's in trouble? Don't worry, I'll get Velma and meet you at his house!" Daphne said, in a shocked and worried voice and hung up. Shag placed the phone down and ran toward his and Scoob's bed room. He ran into the room and up to Scoob.
"Like, get up Scoob! Fred's in trouble!" He said as he shook Scooby, but he only swatted Shaggy away. Scoob mumbled something in his sleep and turned to other side, away from Shaggy.
"This is no time for sleeping Scoob! We've like, got to get to Fred! He needs us man!" Shag said and pulled Scoob out of his bed. He fell to the floor with a thud. He stood up and rubbed his sore rear.
"What was rhat for Raggy?" Scooby asked and glared at his best pal. Shaggy grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the room.
"Fred's in trouble! We've got to save him!" Shaggy said, which made Scooby gasped.
"Why ridn't r'ya say ro?" Scooby said, worried and the two raced out of their house with lighting speed and down the street towards Freddie's in their pajamas. Just as they passed Daphne and Velma's house, the two ran out and caught up with Shaggy and Scooby.
"Like, come on! We've got to hurry before Fred gets hurt!" Shaggy said as they raced toward his street.
" Jinkies Shaggy, is it a burglar? Or a villain from our past?" Velma asked. He didn't answer and only continued to run like the rest. They were almost there and within a few seconds they made it.
The four stopped immediately at what they saw: Fred's house was in terrible condition. All the windows were smashed and things were flying out of his house like there was no tomorrow. His terrified screams could be heard and his silhouette could be seen, flying in circles.
"Jinkies!" Velma stated in fear. The four just stared at the house for a second in shock and fear. After that, Daphne raced toward the door.
"Come on! We've got to help Fred!" She yelled and the others followed her. The four placed themselves right next to the front door, which had not been damaged at all! It was guys on the right and the girls on the left.
"Okay, on the count of three we bust in and save Fred" Daphne said, very determined. The other three nodded in agreement.
"Ready…one…two…THREE!" Daphne yelled and Shaggy, Scooby, and Velma burst down the door and the four ran in, only to stop dead in their tracks and gasp in total shock at what stood before them!
