A Scooby-Doo and Chillers Christmas
Chapter 2
She pointed to some buckets lying in a pile by the house.
Fred looked at them. "These buckets are empty, but they're moist inside, like water was in them," he said.
"I wonder what they were used for," Daphne said.
(Velma and Chillers)
Velma and Chillers walked around a lake that was not frozen, despite the dropping temperature. They hid when they saw the monster, who filled a bucket with water and then left. "The Christmas tree monster must be using water for something…but what?" Velma said.
"Chee chee," Chillers said. I don't know.
When the gang came back together, the wind began to blow harder and colder. "It looks like a snowstorm is coming," Fred said.
"We'd better get inside before it hits," Daphne said. But just when they could see the Ringers' house, the snow came down so heavily it blocked their vision. With nowhere to go, Scooby, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne, and Velma huddled together to keep warm, and Velma held Chillers in her arms. But the wind kept blowing, and soon even Chillers began to feel the cold through her thick fur. She clung more tightly to Velma and buried herself in her best friend's coat. Then, they heard the Ringers calling out. They managed to follow the sound back to the house.
Once inside the warm house, the gang sat by the fireplace with Belle, Ed, and Jim. "Are you all right?" Belle asked them.
"We're fine," Fred answered, "Hey, you found Jim!"
"Yes, he was looking at the Holly Bell," Ed said.
"Looking at it, huh?"
Velma had a thought, but before she could say anything else, Shaggy suddenly exclaimed, "Zoinks! Where's Scooby?"
"Oh, dear! He must still be out in the blizzard!" Belle said.
Then, Chillers ran outside. "No, Chillers!" Fred said.
"She'll be fine. Her long fur will keep her warm for a while," Velma said.
"But there's a monster out there!" Shaggy said.
Outside, Chillers fought against the gusts of chilling winds and strained to search for Scooby through the heavy snow. "Chee! Chee!" she shouted. Scooby! Where are you?
"R-Rhillers!" came a faint cry. Chillers knew she had to create a light for Scooby to follow, so she shot a beam of ice into the sky. The ice glittered, and Scooby saw it. With Chillers guided by the light from the Ringers' house and Scooby guided by Chillers's ice, the two made it back to the house. Once inside, the shivering Scooby was led near the fireplace. "Rhanks, Rhillers," he told Chillers.
An hour later, the snowstorm had died down and (after making sure Scooby was okay) the gang went out to look for more clues. They noticed that one tree near the house was covered in ice. "Hey, what happened to that tree?" Daphne asked.
"Chee chee chee-uz," Chillers said. I must have frozen it earlier.
This gave Velma another thought. "That's it!" she said, "I know why the Holly Bell won't ring! Now all we need to do is catch that monster. Fred, we need a plan." But before Fred could think of a plan, the Christmas tree monster ran by.
"After that monster!" Fred said, and everyone ran after the monster, but soon they lost it.
"Where did it go?" Daphne said.
"Like, there it is!" Shaggy exclaimed when he saw it standing a few feet away. It gave chase, and they ran.
