Episode 1: That Dog Can Talk?
"Gee, Freddy. We sure have been driving for a long time."
"Like, yeah, Freddy. Daphne is right. We've been driving for, like, ever, and Scooby and I are starting to get hungry."
Fred glanced up at the rear-view mirror, looking at Shaggy and Scooby Doo. "You two are ALWAYS hungry." He muttered. "Anyway, we wouldn't have to drive around aimlessly if Velma had brought the map."
"But, I did bring the map, Freddy." Velma defended. "You just ignored me when I said we should take that right turn at Albe--"
"Oh well." As always, everyone ignored poor Velma. "We need to stop soon, Freddy! This weather is torture to my hair!" Daphne complained.
Velma frowned. "Ahem," she cleared her throat, but nobody seemed to notice. "JENKIES!" She exclaimed, and all attention was on her.
"Velma said 'jenkies'!"
"What is it Velma?"
"Relma? Is rere food?"
Velma smirked slightly. "No, Scooby. There isn't food. But, there's a road sign up ahead. It looks like we're about to enter a city."
Velma was, of course, correct. Not too far ahead of them was a road sign reading:
"NOW ENTERING SATAN CITY NEW HOPE CITY. POPULATION 10,314."
"Satan City?" Shaggy gulped. "That's, like, not a good thing, is it?"
"Rhat rounds scrary!" Scooby Doo agreed.
"Oh, don't be such chickens." Daphne scolded. "'Satan' is crossed out. The name of the place is New Hope City."
"It was probably just some kids playing a prank." Fred added.
Driving their psychadelic van, the "gang" headed towards New Hope City.

As the gang drove down the main street of New Hope City, the citizens looked at the funky colored van with both curiosity and something akin to awe.
"Like, you'd think they'd never seen a van with a bunch of mystery-solving teenagers before." Shaggy commented as he waved to one of the people on the street.
"Rand Rooby roo?" Scooby asked.
"Yes, and Scooby too." Shaggy replied.
"Hey, gang! Look there!" Fred took a sharp right turn and pulled into the parking lot of a large dome-shaped building. Billowing black smoke seemed to rise out of the back of the building. "It looks like there's some trouble."
"Let's investigate!" Velma exclaimed!
Scooby and Shaggy stuck their heads out the window, sniffing at the air. "Like, yeah! Let's investigate that groovy smell!"
As the gang headed around the building, they saw that it wasn't anything unusual which was causing the smoke; it was, as Scooby and Shaggy suspected, a large barbeque, grilling all sorts of delicious food.
"Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!"
"Roh boy, roh boy, roh boy!"
Shaggy and Scooby ran towards the stranger (with purple hair!) who was flipping burgers on the grill.
The purple-haired man blinked, looking up at the teenager and dog that were running towards him. "Eh? Can I help you?" He asked the two.
Shaggy and Scooby produced napkins from thin air, tying them around their necks. From the same mysterious place the napkins came from, they produced plates.
The young man with the purple hair couldn't help but chuckle at the two. "Okay, okay. I get the idea." He said, filling Scooby and Shaggy's plates. "You're not from around here, are you?" Scooby and Shaggy didn't have time to answer; before he could blink, the two had scarfed down their hamburgers and were holding out their plates for more. "You must have traveled a long way. You sure are hungry!"
Velma, Daphne, and Fred approached their hungry friends and Trunks. "Sorry about Shaggy and Scooby Doo." Fred apologized. "They have endless appetites."
A blue-haired girl, who had just emerged from the building with more burgers to cook, giggled at the strangers. "Well, then! Your friend and his dog will fit in just perfect here!"
"Still, we don't mean to intrude..." Daphne apologized. She elbowed Fred, who was googling the blue-haired girl. "Right, Freddy?"
"Huh? Oh, right."
The blue-haired girl smiled. "Oh, I'm sorry! Let me introduce myself. My name is Bulma, and this," she gestured to the purple-haired man, "is my son, Trunks."
"It's nice to meet you both." Velma said with a smile.
"Hey, everybody!" Bulma called to the others who were scattered about. They all looked up. "We've got some visitors!"
"I'm Freddy."
"I'm Velma."
"I'm Daphne. The guy stuffing his face is Shaggy, and that's his dog, Scooby Doo."
"It's very nice to meet you all." A slender blonde stood, slipping an arm around Trunks's waist. "I'm Juuhachi-gou."
"Well, Freddy, Velma, Daphne, Shaggy, and Scooby Doo! Let me introduce you to everyone!" Bulma beckoned the group to follow her.
"This is my husband, Vegeta, and our daughter Bra." Vegeta grunted something of a greeting and Bra curtsied.
Daphne leaned over to Velma. "Who names their child after undergarments?" She whispered. Velma shrugged.
Shaggy and Scooby scrambled up to Vegeta, licking their lips. "Like, hey. Are you going to eat that burger?" Shaggy asked. Vegeta looked up at the boy and his dog with an ice-cold glare. Shaggy and Scooby proceeded to pass out.
"Ah, and here's my friend Son Gokou!" Gokou waved cheerfully. "And this is his wife Chichi and over there is his son Gohan and Gohan's wife, Videl. The cute little girl you see is Son-kun's granddaughter, Pan." Gohan and Pan were too busy eating to pay the newcomers any mind, but Chichi and Videl bowed respectively to the gang.
Bulma continued to lead the group around. "Here we have Goten-kun, Gokou's other son, and his girlfriend, Marron-- who is Juuhachi-gou's daughter."
"Nice to meet you!" Goten exclaimed with a wink to Velma, which caused the girl to blush.
"Welcome!" Marron added.
"Oh, okay." Bulma said. "Here's the last of our happy group! Rinriku and Juuroku-gou."
Shaggy and Scooby, who had just regained conciousness, took one look at the massive Juuroku-gou and immediately attempted to take refuge from in Rinriku's mohawk.
"Hey, get out of there you two!" Rinriku laughed. "Juuroku-kun won't hurt you!"
"Re ron't?" Scooby asked.
"Are you sure?" Shaggy added.
"Rhew! Rhat a rerief!" Scooby sighed. Shaggy nodded in agreement.
"You can understand what that dog's saying?" Goten mused.
"Sure." Fred replied.
"We all can." Added Velma.
"Pot-heads." Marron muttered.
