Scooby Doo – Foul Play

Disclaimer: I own nothing

Characters: All members of the team of course

Spoilers: None

Time: SCOOBY DOO – WHERE ARE YOU? (because I like the characters better there.)

When I was little I used to watch Scooby Doo and his friends. Together with Thundercats it's the best cartoon I have ever seen. So here I am trying to write a cartoon fan fiction and I hope it works out.

Chapter one

It was a bright afternoon and the mood in the Mystery Machine was cheerful. Shaggy sat on the floor in the back with a Scooby snack in his hand, just above his head.

"Are you ready for it Scooby?" He asked smiling.

"Res res!" Scooby returned excitedly.

Shaggy threw the snack away causing it to bump against the wall and change direction, finally ending up in the front seat between Velma and Daphne.

"Guys what's going on back there?" Velma asked turning around only to knock head with a big Great Dane.

"Ouch." Shaggy raised his shoulders and closed his eyes seeing the inevitable. When he opened them again he saw Velma trying to find her glasses and Daphne glaring at him from up front.

"But Scooby." Fred said exasperated, looking at the dog sandwiched between himself, Daphne and the wheel of the Mystery Machine.

"Rorry Reddie." Scooby said regretfully. "Rooby Rax."

Shaggy had a dumb smile on his face. "It kinda bumped in your direction."

"It's okay Shaggy." Velma reassured having found her glasses.

"So…" Daphne began brushing of her new outfit as Scooby jumped back. "…have you heard about the haunted house?"

"What? Oh no not again! Why can't we go somewhere nice and safe?" Shaggy complained feeling the hairs on his neck rise as he hugged Scooby for moral support.

"Res res!" Scobby added.

"Ha ha relax guys Daphne is just playing with you." Freddie replied.

"There is no haunted house where we are going?" Shaggy asked feeling hope return.

"I wouldn't be surprised if it is but we are not going to look into it." Fred said.

"That's right guys; we are going to visit Uncle Charles and see his horse compete in a race. Velma announced.

"Oh did you hear Scoob? Horse racing!" Shaggy said delighted.

"Res res! Horse racing."

"That's it? No mysteries along the way? Only food, rest and relaxation?" Shaggy asked excitedly.

"For now that's the plan." Fred replied.

"Well Freddie that's the best plan you have had in weeks!"

"Actually you should give credit to Velma's uncle for inviting us."

"So how far left?" Daphne asked looking at the road in front of them.

Fred punched in a command on the navigator. "Hmm let's see…"

"I would say about thirty minutes." Velma said calculating the speed, distance and time factor from the map in front of her.

"34 minutes before arriving to your destination." A metallic voice said.

"Well I was kinda getting to that." Fred said a bit annoyed.

"That was great Velma, who needs a navigator?" Daphne said.

"S…something is on the road!" Shaggy said pointing a shaky finger a bit further down.

"Where?" Fred asked, squinting his eyes to see in the blazing sun.

"I can't see anything Shaggy." Daphne replied shadowing her eyes with her hand.

"No it moved…maybe it's someone's ghost." Shaggy said fearfully.

"Don't be silly Shaggy it's probably just a reflection in the sun." Fred reasoned.

oooooooooo

A man ducked behind a tree as the Mystery Machine went past. His binoculars had almost given away his position. He looked after them as the van sped along the road for the little village further down, near the river. They would have to pay for what they had done; he would make sure of that.
