Back at the camp, Scooby and Shaggy were sitting at the table, finishing off their last helping of ribs. Janine couldn't help but smile at the two clowns.

"You guys like to eat, huh?" she asked.

Shaggy smiled back.

A few minutes later, Fred, Daphne, Velma, Heather, and Johnny came back.

"Hey, guys. Like, how's the place look?" Shaggy asked.

"It's great, This summer's gonna be fun." Daphne said.

"Cool. You know, you guys like, need to try these ribs. They're fantastic." Shaggy said

"With hot sauce." Scooby-Doo said, before dousing a rib with Red Hot before chewing the meat clean off the bone.

"No, thanks. We were gonna go down to the lake for a swim. What do you say, guys?" Fred asked.

"Alright. I'm dying for a tan." Daphne said.

"Janine. Would you like to go swimming with us?" Shaggy asked.

"Yeah, sure." Janine smiled.

"This is gonna be the best summer ever." Scooby barked to himself.


About half an hour later, Nearly everyone was by the lake, either swimming, soaking up the sun, and simply hanging out.

Shaggy swam around in the lake, while Scooby-Doo sat on shore with beach chair, sunglasses, and a tanning board. Velma, and Daphne played volleyball with Tawny, Heather and Ellen, while Fred and Johnny tossed a football back and forth.

Clarke, Justin, and Tom were in the water, as well. But Wayne just sat alone on the shore, away from the water, reading a book.

Tom got out of the water and walked over to Wayne.

"Come on, man. Get in the water." he said.

"I don't swim." Wayne said.

"Dude, come on. It's not that big of a deal."

"Did you ever hear what Jason does to people if they get in his lake and don't know how to swim? He'll pull them right down with him." Wayne said.

"Ookay." Tom said, turning around. "Might want to lay off on the drugs a little, bro."

He went to the edge of the dock, and jumped back into the lake.

Janine jumped in, too. She swam out into the open, where no one else was at. Little did she, or anyone else know that this lake was the spot where young Jason Voorhees had drowned so many years ago. After a few seconds, Janine began to feel a little uneasy. There was something…"evil" about the water. She then felt something move past her leg. She was really starting to get nervous now. Suddenly, she felt something grab hold of her ankle. She shrieked and jolted, as the menacing figure rose from the water. It was a laughing Shaggy.

"Shaggy!" she exclaimed, embarrassed.

Shaggy couldn't stop laughing.

"Ha ha ha! Like, gotcha!" he said, proudly.

Janine lightly punched him on the arm.

"That wasn't funny." she said, clearly trying to hold back her smile.

"I-I'm sorry. I like, had to." Shaggy said, struggling to breathe through his guffawing.

"Hey, Scoob! It worked!" He yelled to the shore waving his arm at his dog.

Scooby-Doo let out his usually silly laugh. A couple of the other counselors laughed as well.

On shore, Heather sat down on the sand, to take a quick break from the volleyball game. Johnny decided to come sit next to her. She gave him a quick kiss as he sat down.

"Hey. Looks like you got some attention." Johnny said, indicating Wayne, who was sitting far away.

When Heather turned to look at him, he suddenly moved his eyes away.

"He's been staring at you like that ever since we got here." Johnny said.

"No, he hasn't." Heather said.

"He has too. I've seen the way he looks at you. I think Wayne's got a little crush."

Heather shot Wayne another glance, and noticed him look back quickly again before shifting his eyes back to his book. Heather smiled at Johnny.

"Wayne does not stare at me. If he liked me, I'd be able to tell. Just because he asked me out that one time doesn't mean he's obsessed with me." she insisted.

"Okay, babe. Think what you want." Johnny said before kissing Heather on the cheek.

Wayne looked back at Heather, before shutting his book, and standing up. Johnny's suspicions were confirmed as Wayne started walking towards him and Heather.

"Oh, jeez, he's coming over." Johnny smiled.

Heather wasn't sure what to think. She felt very awkward as Wayne walked up to her.

"Hey, Heather." he said, shyly.

"Hi, Wayne." Heather said back.

Wayne and Johnny made eye contact for a brief second before Wayne focused his attention back on Heather.

"You, uh…Look pretty today." he said awkwardly.

"Oh,...thank you." Heather said, just as awkward.

"Yeah. I was reading this book. And the main character girl reminds me a lot of you. She's really beautiful, and gracious, and such a strong person."

Heather was at a loss for words. She forced a smile, as that was all she could think to do.

"Say, Wayne. You wanna grab us a couple of sodas outta the cooler?" Johnny quickly said.

Wayne looked slightly deflated.

"Um, yeah. Sure." he said.

"Thanks, dude." Johnny said, as Wayne walked across the beach.

Heather sighed in relief.

"Thank you. He was starting to freak me out." she said to Johnny.

"You know I kinda feel bad for the guy. I mean, you are the hottest girl here." Johnny said.

Heather smiled and let out a giggle, as they kissed again.


That night, back near the cabins, everyone gathered around a campfire to listen to Scooby-Doo and Shaggy recount one of the gang's mystery.

"So, then, like, the vampire ghoul said 'I want blood'!" Shaggy said in a spooky voice as Scooby imitated the visage of a vampire.

"And, I said, 'Like, no way is some vampire gonna suck my blood.'" Shaggy lied. "So, I punched him in the face, and like jumped back on the golf cart with Scooby and Scooby-Dum and drove away."

Shaggy stared at Janine the whole time while telling the false tale. He was obviously lying to make her think he was cool. She smiled as he continued the story.

"Later on, me and Scoob like fought that bloodsuckin' fiend and unmasked him single-handedly. Turns out it was Lisa's Uncle Leon the whole time." Shaggy said.

"Yeah, Uncle Leon." Scooby agreed.

"Yep, ahh…That old vamp didn't scare me for a second." Shaggy said, popping his collar.

"Is that really how it happened, Fred?" Heather asked.

All eyes were on Fred now. He glanced at Shaggy and noticed the desperate look on his face to play along with the lie.

"Uh,…yeah. Yeah, that was pretty much it." he said.

"That is so cool." Janine said, smiling at Shaggy.

"Yeah. Like, you could say the one thing Scoob and I do in a time of danger is keep our cool." Shaggy said.

"Alright, great story, guys." Johnny said.

Everyone (but Wayne, of course) clapped. Scooby and Shaggy sat down next to Janine.

"Okay, who's next?" Johnny asked.

No one said anything.

"Come on. Somebody's gotta have a scary story to tell." he said.

"Johnny, why don't you tell them that story you know?" Heather asked.

"What story?" Fred asked.

"Oh, it's the best. It's about this babysitter. It's really creepy. Come on, Johnny, tell it." Heather said.

"Okay. Okay. This story is called, 'The Clown Doll'" Johnny started, slightly lowering his voice.

A few counselors laughed a bit, at the ridiculous title. Putting his hands up to silence the crowd, Johnny continued.

"There was this babysitter, right? And she was called in to look after these kids for the night, while their parents went to a business party. And after the babysitter had put the kids to bed,-"

"Wait, I know. Then the phone rang and there was a stranger on the other line, right?" Justin rudely interrupted.

"No. Let me finish." Johnny said, annoyed.

Everyone listened again as Johnny continued the story.

"As I was saying, she put the kids to sleep, then went into the parent's den to watch some TV. But, as she tries to watch, she can't help but feel disturbed by the little clown statue in the corner. It was horrifying. The clown had an absolutely menacing look on his face."

Some of the other counselors started to tense up. Scooby and Shaggy weren't sure they wanted to hear the rest of the story. Johnny continued.

"At first, the girl tried to ignore it. But the look of the clown was so creepy, it was starting to really freak her out. So, she decided to call the parents of the kids and said, 'the kids are in bed, but is it okay if I switch rooms to watch TV in, the clown statue is freaking me out'. There was a slight pause before the dad answered, 'take the kids, and get out of the house, now.' The babysitter asked why, and the dad said, 'because we don't own a clown statue.'".

"Oooh…" most of the counselors said.

Shaggy's teeth started to chatter, and he was slightly shaking. But, he pretended to ease up once he saw Janine notice how scared he looked.

"The girl was now terrified. When she turned around she could see the clown statue standing right in front of her, holding a knife." Johnny said.

Scooby-Doo began to look afraid himself.

"'It's just you and me now' the clown said. 'But soon enough, it'll just be me!'" Johnny said. "the girl screamed, and the clown, CHOPPED HER TO PIECES!"

"Zoinks!" Shaggy screamed.

Everyone's attention turned to him as he and Scooby-Doo hugged each other, while shivering with fear.

"Calm down, guys. It's just a story." Johnny said.

"Like, yeah. I know. It was just the way you told it." Shaggy whimpered.

"Yeah." Scooby said.

"Great story, man." Fred said.

"Thanks. Well, it's getting late, guys. I'm gonna turn in before I drop." Johnny said.

"Okay, goodnight." Velma said.

"Oh, yeah. And, Wayne. One more thing. Watch out for Jason." Johnny taunted.

Wayne said nothing. The other counselors laughed at him, though.


Later, that evening, everyone was in their cabin's preparing for bed.

In Fred, Daphne, Justin and Tom's cabin,

"Do you think Johnny's giving Wayne too much a hard time?" Daphne said, as she brushed her hair in front of a mirror.

"Ahh, he's just goofing around." Fred said.

"Yeah, I'll bet Wayne doesn't even really believe in Jason." Justin said.

"I don't know, man. He looks stupid enough." Tom added.

"Well, that's not nice." Daphne said, turning to the boys.

"What if it were you guys that were afraid? You wouldn't want anyone teasing you." she said.

"Gee, sorry, 'Mom'". Tom mocked.

"Let's just go to sleep. We really shouldn't be talking about monsters before bed." Fred said.

Without another word, Fred, and Daphne climbed into the bed on one side of the cabin near the bed, while Justin and Tom took the bunk bed on the other side.

In Scooby and Shaggy's cabin.

"Like, wow. What a spooky story." Shaggy said, as he unfolded the sheets.

"Shaggy?" Scooby said.

"Yeah, Scoob?"

"Do you believe in Jason Voorhees?"

"Do I relieve in Rason Joorhees? What?"

"No. Do you believe in Jason Voorhees?" Scooby said clearer.

"Oh. Jason Voorhees. Ha, ha, ha. Sorry, Scoob. It's just kinda hard to, like, understand you sometimes." Shaggy chuckled.

Scooby gave his best friend an annoyed expression.

"No way, Scoob. Like, Janine told me all those reports about Jason existing have been filed as inconclusive." Shaggy said.

"Janine?" Scooby asked.

"Yeah. What a girl, huh? Like, she's almost even prettier than Crystal was." Shaggy said, laying on the bed, looking up at the ceiling.

Over in Velma, Ellen, and Tawny's cabin.

While Velma was doing her before-bed stretches on the floor, Ellen was polishing her toenails, while Tawny impatiently paced around the room.

"God, I'm so bored." Tawny complained.

"Why don't you try going to sleep, then?" Ellen suggested.

"I can't sleep. I'm wide awake."

Velma finished her stretches and stood up.

"Well, what do you think would make you tired?" she asked Tawny.

"I don't know….Hey, why do we go for a midnight swim?" Tawny suggested.

"What?" Ellen asked.

"Yeah. It'll be fun. The water'll be even better at night."

"I don't know, Tawny. It's getting pretty late." Velma said.

"Come on." Tawny pushed.

"I can't. Do you not see my nails?" Ellen said, pointing at her toes.

"But, it'll be no fun if I go by myself." Tawny whined.

"Ellen's right, Tawny. Just try to go to sleep. We can go swimming tomorrow." Velma said.

Tawny sighed as Velma climbed into her bed.

"Fine." Tawny said, grabbing her swimsuit. "I guess I'll go by myself."

"Have fun." Ellen said as Tawny walked out the door.


Outside, in the dark, after changing into her swimsuit, Tawny walked alone through the trees to find her way to the lake. At night, the trees looked even more demented than during the day. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea for Tawny to be out there. Suddenly, she heard a noise, like a rustle of the leaves.

"Hello?….I-is anybody there?" she called softly.

She looked around, but saw nothing. Must've been the wind or something. She kept walking, but just couldn't shake the feeling she was being followed. Then, something sounded like breathing. Tawny just wanted to turn back now, but she'd gone to far, she could already see the lake.

"Okay. 1.…2.…3." she said.

With that, she started sprinting through the woods. For some reason, she thought she could hear footprints following her. After she finally got out of the trees, and walked onto the beach, she looked back towards the woods, to see no one. She let out a sigh of relief.

"I'm losing my mind" she said, putting her hand to her forehead.

She walked towards the dock of the lake, and jumped in.

"Ahh." she sighed, as she emerged from the cool night water.

She swam around a bit, without a care in the world. It felt quite freeing to be able to swim alone in the lake at night.

Little did she know that not far on shore, behind the trees, someone was watching her.

She backstroked a bit through the water, until she thought she felt something move past her leg. She stopped, and looked around, but again, nothing was there.

But if nothing was there, why did she get the feeling she was being watched the whole time?

"Deep breaths. Just take deep breaths." she said to calm herself down.

She breathed in and breathed out slowly. Once she had calmed, she made a small giggle at how silly she was being.

"There's nothing to be afraid of." she thought to herself.

She began backstroking through the lake again, and looked up at the starry sky. The sounds of the crickets chirping, and the coolness of the water, made Tawny feel very relaxed.

"Those guys don't know what their missing." she said aloud.

Thump! Tawny gasped as her head hit something hard. She sat upright in the water, and realized that she had just backstroked her head into the dock.

"Ha. God, I'm so stupid." she said to herself, slightly chuckling.

But, then, out of nowhere, her hand was grabbed by two other strong ones. She struggled helplessly as the hands tied her arm around the dock with a rope. The unknown monster then grabbed her by the top of her head and held it under water.

She couldn't breathe. She struggled, and struggled, but couldn't get free, and being tied to the dock made it impossible for her to swim away. As she tugged and tugged with one hand at the person holding her down, she started losing more energy as she flopped around. She tried to scream, but no sound came out.

The last thing she saw when she looked up in through the water, was the murderer wearing the hockey mask of Jason Voorhees.
