I've gotten so incredibly into writing fanfiction in regards to 'Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School', my favorite film from the Scooby Doo universe, that I've written a small drabble based off of my other SD fanfic. This one features both the Grimwood ghouls and the Calloway cadets, along with my OC, Lauren Black, as the gang goes on a month long 'survival' road trip. This is a fanfic founded on fluff and funness (and apparently alliteration), so I hope you lot enjoy reading this as much as I did writing it. The only real difference is that in this story, the cadets are fully aware of the ghoul's powers and the fact that they are actual, full fledged monsters.

Chapter 1: Road Trip

Disclaimer: I own nothing except for my OC.

Tug jumped onto the wall separating his school from the ghoul's, dangling his legs off the edge, and whistling tunelessly. He leaned back, crossing his arms under his head. With a sudden shift in the wind, Lauren was leaning over him, having teleported to this exact location. Tug smiled up at her and tucked a loose lock of hair behind her ear. "Hey, on a scale of one to America, how free are you and the rest of the ghouls for the next month?"

"North Korea, present time." Lauren replied with a small smirk before asking him "It depends. What would we be doing for an entire month?"

Tug sat up and swung his body around to better look at her. "The Colonel has ordered us to go on a month long road trip to test our survival skills and endurance without outside help."

"Do the ghouls and I not count as 'outside help', then?" Lauren asked innocently, tilting her head to the side.

At that, Tug smirked before replying "What the Colonel doesn't know won't hurt him. I don't see why you six couldn't come along. Besides, since when do you care about what the Colonel says we can or can't do?"

Lauren refused to have the decency to look ashamed as she replied "You know I don't put any stock into a single word that comes out of that man's mouth. Anyways, you've captivated my attention with this road trip. Give me details."

"Well, like I said earlier, it'll be a month long trip in a giant, luxury motor coach. We'll travel the country, exploring the sights, and if we can make it back in decent health with the bus still in tact by the end of the month, we pass the test." Tug explained.

"And if you fail?" Lauren questioned curiously.

Shrugging, Tug replied "We'll probably have to run a million suicides or something."

After a moment of pondering his proposition, Lauren said "I'll talk to the ghouls and if they're in, and we get Miss Grimwood's approval, then we'll come. When do we leave?"

"By the end of the week. So I hope that's enough time to convince them because I don't want to be stuck on a bus with just the guys without seeing you for a whole month." Tug informed her.

"Even if the ghouls don't want to go, I will so that I can make sure you guys get enough food to eat." Lauren told him earnestly.

"And here I was thinking you just wanted to spend time with me." Tug replied, feigning sadness.

Lauren nudged him playfully in the ribs before saying "Of course I do. But I'm also looking forward to spoiling you, as well as the others, but you especially."

"A month spent without the Colonel, and you being by my side, is spoiled enough." Tug replied, earning him a smoldering look. "What? Can't I just enjoy my girlfriend's company?"

Lauren's glare faded as she pecked him on the lips. "Of course you can, love. I just need to go make it official and see if I, and the rest of the ghouls, can actually come with. I'll be back before you have time to miss me." And with that, Lauren pecked Tug once more before teleporting back to her school.
