CHAPTER 1 - Be while you can, soon you'll be tripping food!

Previously on Scooby Doo, "The mysterious tripping monster";

Fred had planned a mysterious trip for the gang, but it didn't turn out as expected. They ended up on a mountain. Now Fred and the gang had arrived to the small town. Unaware of the monster who had been luring in the shadows.

Fred and the gang entered the food store.

"So gang, what should we buy?" Fred asked.

"Oh, like, a sandwich with extra cheese, sardines and peanut butter" Shaggy said and sighed longingly. Velma gave Shaggy a deeming look that said "typical junk food".

"How about everybody just buy for themselves?" Daphne suggested.

"Good idea Daph" Fred said and gave her a warm smile. "You always have such great ideas."

"Oh Freddie" Daphne said soft-spoken. But Fred was aldredy on his way to the food department. Daphne sighed.

After a few minutes the gang had bought some food and was ready to eat. Shaggy and Scooby were loaded with all sorts of food. From burgers to ice-cream.

The gang choose a spot to eat on and began to unpack all the food. Everybody started eating. Suddenly, they heard a scream. Fred dropped his sandwich and got up.

"What was that?" Velma asked.

"I don't wanna know" Scooby said and put his paws on top of his head, shaking.

"Like, I don't wanna know either" Shaggy said and crawled under the blanket they were sitting on. Fred started running in the direction from where they heard the scream. Daphne followed him and Velma picked up some Scooby-Snacks from her pocket. She gave them to Shaggy and Scooby and then started following Fred too. Shaggy and Scooby ate the snacks and ran after the gang. When Shaggy and Scooby reached the rest of the group, they couldn't believe their eyes. A girl were wildly flailing with her arms and screaming at nothing. There were no danger in reach. Fred tried to help her, but she wouldn't calm down.

"Take it easy, no one's going to hurt you" Fred said gently. "You're alright." The girl stopped crying and looked up at Fred.

"It's gone?" She asked and wiped the tears of her face. Velma made her way to them and cleared her throat.

"Could you maybe tell us what happend?" Velma asked the little girl.

"Yeah, I was on my way home when I suddenly heard a scream. Then this beast came out of the forest and attacked me" she said.

"Did the beast hurt you?" Fred asked.

"No, I don't think so" the girl said.

"Good, but you should probably go home now" Fred told the girl. She nodded and walked away. Daphne looked after the girl and sighed.

"That poor little girl, just on her way home and then all of a sudden getting attacked by a hideous beast" Daphne said with a sad tone. Velma and Fred agreed.

"Well gang, it looks like we have a mystery on our hands" Fred said.

"We should probably look for clues" Velma said.

"Yeah, the girl said she heard someone scream from in there" Daphne said and pointed into the forest. "That's a good place to start looking."

"Okay gang, time to split up and look for clues then" Fred ordered. "I'll go with Daphne and Shaggy, you'll go with Velma and Scooby."

The gang went their separate ways into the forest and started looking for clues.
