Scooby Doo: The Boo Brother Rescue

Chapter 2

The Return of Sadie May

The next morning the gang all met up in the dining hall, Shaggy noticed that termites had visited. The once creaky old oak table, was nearly about to collapse. Even ghosts would have had someone maintain this, it was getting very weird. The rest of the crew looked fairly please by the brief stop at an actual house, despite the fact it was slowly falling apart. Amazingly the water was still running and the fridge had some kept food in it, but there was a feeling that Freako, Shreako, and Meako hadn't been home for a long time.

"Scooby, did you smell...." Shaggy laughed, "Like, never mind."

"Shaggy, it doesn't look like your friends have been taking care of this place...." said Daphne.

"Yeah, there's dust and cobwebs everywhere," said Velma.

"I'm not sure, but I think there was something living under my bed," said Fred.

"Did it make any noise?" asked Shaggy.

"Just some rustling...." said Fred.

"I heard something in the attic last night," shrugged Daphne, "I thought I was dreaming."

"If anyones home, its me Shaggy!" Shaggy yelled up the stairs.

"And Rooby Roo!" Scooby jogged a little up the stairs.

No response came and in a short time, the ground got ready to leave. Fred went outside to start up the van, it was kind of cold out as winter was slowly coming in these parts. Shaggy found some cans to take with them on the road, saying that the guests wouldn't care if they took some food. Velma filled up a couple of jugs with water, and Daphne grabbed a few extra blankets as Shaggy asked. In this short second, all heard the yell of one Fred Jones, an unsavory word the group found unjust to use at any time.

"Freddy!" yelled Daphne out the door, expecting he'd just dropped something on his foot, but her eyes widened, "Oh...."

"Like, what's the problem.... zoinks...." Shaggy trailed off.

"Jinkies..." Velma went on the other side of Shaggy.

They all looked at the gravel road where the Mystery Machine was parked... well had been. Their eyes followed the two wide scrap marks, and towards the woods. In the highest trees, the Mystery Machine was at the top. The doors opened, window smashed, tires torn, and slowly but surely.... settling into the base of the tree. The odd thing was.... the highest tree was at least a mile out.

"Look at these treadmarks..." said Velma, the two large drag marks, indicated the Mystery Machine had been dragged sideways.

"Too weird..." said Daphne, eyes focused in on the Mystery Machine.

"I'm glad we brought our stuff in last night," said Velma, "But.... how are we getting out of here."

"If the phones work, we can call the sheriff.." shrugged Shaggy, "Though I don't know what to tell him, like, apart from getting a crane or something."

"Fred..." said Daphne, looking at her boyfriend.

"Red...." Scooby walked over to where Fred stood, mouth a gape, his eyes wide, tears forming.

"Oh boy...." sighed Velma.

Just as the group was heading towards Fred, a loud crash made them all jump. The Mystery Machine had fully settled into the base of the tree. Shaggy had done his usual jump into Scooby's arms.... but Scooby was next to Daphne, who was next to Velma, who Fred had just screamed like a girl and glomped. Then who... Shaggy turned his head to look at who was holding him.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEK!!!" Shaggy lept from the arms and glomped onto a sobbing Fred, in a none-to-manly way.

"Whoa..." said Fred, who was smacked by Daphne.

"Shaggy, baby! Oh how I missed ye!" came the peppy blonde in front of them.

"AHHHHHHH!" Shaggy burrowed his head.

"Howdy, yall! I'm Sadie May..." she was cut off.

"AHH!" Shaggy let out another scream as she stepped closer.

"Shaggy, baby, didn't yah miss meh!" she smiled, hands on her hips.

"Ah!" he yelled in response, pointing at her.

"Oh... my clothes." she said, walking back to the pond.

"The beautiful.... birthday suited girl... is the stalker your afraid of...." muttered Fred.... eyes wide.

"Fred!" yelled Daphne.

"I can't look away...." said Fred.

"I-I need to burn these clothes..." said Shaggy, jumping out of Fred's arms and slowly moving towards the house.

"That means you have to take 'em off sugah... need some help?" Sadie yelled.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Shaggy had fled towards the woods, apparently bent on freeing the Mystery Machine on his own.
