Most of the journey has been quiet. Fred has kept his eyes on the road, Daphne has been looking out of the window, Velma continued looking through her book, Shaggy and Scooby were daydreaming about food, Sam was coming up with a plan in his head, and Dean well he was just in full fan boy mode but Sam made sure that he kept his mouth shut and not ask a lot questions to them because the last thing they needed was to scare them off. The Mystery Machine then came to a stop outside the local diner.
Fred switches off the engine and grins "Ok gang we're here"
"Finally" Shaggy says with a sigh of relief "We are starving...right Scoob"
"Ruh huh" Scooby says with a nod.
Fred was the first one to hop out. He walks round the back and opens the doors. Shaggy and Scooby zoomed out of the van all the way to the diner within seconds. The Winchesters stepped out afterwards.
Dean turns and grins at his brother.
"Dude we have to try that" Sam gives him the really look. Dean sighs "Oh come on Sam they went from the van to inside the diner in like a few seconds."
"If we get chased by monster...I might consider it."
Sam walks into the diner leaving his brother with a frown.
"Consider it I would do it." Dean says. He then saw Daphne who was about to come out of the van. Dean strolls up to her with his most charming smile "You ok?"
Daphne looks at him with a smile "I'm fine thanks."He reaches out offering to help her down. Daphne looks at his hand "I don't need help coming out of a van thank you."
She steps out of the van and brushes past the older Winchester and walks towards the diner. Dean drops his hand feeling slightly embarrassed. As Daphne was about to open the door, Fred joins her and opens the door for her.
"Ladies first"
She giggles "Thank you Freddy"
Daphne walks in. Dean walks to the door. He was about to walk through but the door got shut in his face.
Thanks Fred could have left the door open for me He thought.
Dean opens the door and walks in. Sam was across the room with the others. Fred was at the counter ordering the food. Dean then noticed there was a spot next to Daphne. With a grin on his face, he walks over and slides in next to her.
Daphne turns with a shocked look "That was quick Freddy what did you..." she paused when she realised it wasn't Fred next to her "Oh...it's you... sorry I thought you were Fred"
Dean grins at her "I saw a space so..."
"We thought you would be sitting next to your brother because there is a space next to him." She points across the table. Shaggy was sitting on Sam's left side but on his right was an empty space.
Dean shrugs "I'm always next to him thought I would have a change and who would not want to sit next to you."
He winks at her. Dean notices his brother was frowning at him
God he does not know how to have fun sometimes Dean thought.
Daphne clears her throat feeling a bit uncomfortable "Well um I guess Fred would have to sit next to your brother then."
"I'm sure Sam won't mind...right Sam" Sam shrugs. Dean smiles "See his cool with it."
Fred finishes ordering the food. He turns and a frown appears on his face. He saw one of the brothers sitting next to Daphne and he was sitting quite close to her a bit too close actually. Fred couldn't help but feel quite jealous. Part of him wanted to tell that guy to move but then he didn't want to make himself look bad especially in front of Daphne. Fred decides to keep his mouth shut and walks over to the table.
"I ordered the food it should be coming shortly."
Shaggy groans "Oh come on can it come any sooner."
"Reah" Scooby says.
Fred sits down in the last space. He never kept his eyes off Dean. He wanted to watch his every move. Dean notices the young man staring at him. Dean turns his head and frowns at him.
"Something wrong"
Fred quickly shakes his head "Oh no nothing is wrong."
"Oh...I thought something was wrong because you were staring at me like I'm about to do something really bad."
Fred laughs a little "No not at all. Don't be silly."
Dean furrows his eyebrows "Right"
Dean knew he was lying. He can tell it straight away. He then noticed Fred shifted his eyes over to Daphne now watching her like a hawk.
His jealous of course that's why he was staring at me like that. I knew that son of a bitch fancied her but he won't open his trap and admit it. He thought.
Dean had to admit it was quite amusing seeing him looking jealous. Dean does a quick glance at Daphne and grins.
We will just have to see who gets in her knickers first. Him or me
"What's so funny?" Velma asks.
Dean looks at her with a puzzled expression "Huh"
"You're sitting there chuckling to yourself...Is there something funny?"
Dean shakes his head "Sorry I was just thinking of something that made me laugh."
"Um ok"
"Here is your food" They all look up and see the waiter with plates of food in his hand. "Who wanted the salad?"
"That's for her" Fred answers pointing at Daphne.
The waiter nods and places the bowl of salad in front of her.
Daphne smiles at the waiter "Thank you"
"No problem darling "The waiter gives her his most charming smile. Daphne ignores him and starts eating her salad.
"The other salad is mine" Velma says. The waiter places the salad down. Velma nods giving him a silent thank you and begins eating.
"Three cheese burgers."
Sam raises his hand "That would be for me and him."
"The other one is for me" Fred says.
The waiter nods and places the food down. "Two triple deluxe bacon and cheese burgers with two large portions of fries?"
"That would be me and my pal right here" Shaggy answers giving Scooby a pat on the back. The waiter places the burgers and fries in front of them. Shaggy licks his lips "Come to papa" He says as he wraps his hands around the burger and picks it up. He takes a massive bite of his burger and swallows it. "Wow Scoob that's Heaven right there"
Scooby nods "Ruh huh" he picks his burger up and takes a massive bite.
Shaggy finished his burger within two bites and so did Scooby. They were about to eat their fries but the older Winchester interrupted them.
"Don't you feel sick?"
Shaggy looks at him with confusion "Pardon"
"How the hell can you eat a burger like that in two bites without feeling sick?"
"Um...I don't know why I guess my stomach is used to my huge appetite."
"Have you seen the way you eat Dean." Sam says. Dean glares at him.
"Oh does he have a huge appetite as well?" Shaggy asks.
Sam laughs a little "I suppose you could say that."
Shaggy laughs "Well why didn't you say so?" he then looks at the older Winchester "Let's see how fast you can eat that burger."
"I don't think we need to do this." Dean says.
"Are you chicken?" Shaggy says.
"What"
Shaggy nods "I think we got someone who is a chicken here Scoob"
"Reah chicken"
Dean glares at them "I'm not a chicken"
"Then prove to us that you have a big appetite like us."
"No. I don't want to make myself sick."
Shaggy and Scooby immediately started making chicken noises teasing the older Winchester.
"Chicken...Chicken" They both say.
This was infuriating the older Winchester. No way he was going to be called chicken by a bunch of cartoon characters. Dean grabs his burger and stuffs it into his mouth and swallows. He put his hand on his chest feeling the burger go down inside of him. Then he felt fine he didn't feel sick at all. The chicken sounds stopp and silence occurred.
Sam was the first to speak.
"You ok?"
Dean nods "I'm fine that actually felt quite good"
Shaggy nods "Well that was quite impressive but me and Scoob could eat like five of them within seconds."
Dean grins "Well I guess so can I. Give me some more burgers."
"What" Sam says.
Shaggy tilts his head "Are you challenging us?"
"I guess you could say that." Dean says.
Both Shaggy and Scooby grin.
"I accept your challenge." Shaggy says.
"Reah me too" Scooby says.
"We don't have time for this. We have to get to the mansion." Sam says.
"Oh that can wait." Fred says "I'm interested to see this."
He will lose Fred thought.
"Are you sure about this Dean. Hardly anyone beats these two in an eating challenge." Daphne says.
"I think it's time someone did." Dean says with a grin.
Shaggy gets to his feet "Well I will go and order the food. Come on Scoob."
Scooby jumps off and follows his best friend.
Sam let's out a sigh
Wish I never mentioned it now
"While we are waiting, tell us about yourself." Velma says with curiosity.
"Us" Dean says.
"Yes" Velma says
"Um" The brothers were not sure what to say.
"There's not much too say." Sam says.
"How did you get involved in all this? Solving mysteries and tracking down monsters." Velma asks.
"Um it's a family business." Sam answers.
"Family business. Your family does all this?" Daphne asks.
"Yeah I guess you could say that." Dean says.
"How long have you guys been doing it for?" Fred asks.
"Long time" Dean answers.
"Yeah we been doing it for years." Sam says.
"Cool" Fred says.
"Out of curiosity, have you ever caught any real monsters?" Velma asks.
"Yes" Dean answers "We caught lots of monsters all different types."
"Really" Fred says with disbelief "You actually caught real monsters"
Dean nods "Uh huh and we kill them."
"Kill them. They might be people there is no monsters." Daphne says.
"Oh don't worry sweetheart they were monsters not people. One day you and your gang will face some real monsters because I'm telling you they are real."
Fred laughs "Right yeah ok that was a very amusing story but I don't buy it."
"You might not believe now kid but one day you will."
"You don't think this knight is a real monster right?" Velma says.
Dean shrugs "Could be"
"Well we will just have to wait and see." Fred says.
"Yes we just have to see."
"Don't tell Shaggy and Scooby you will scare them. Daphne says.
"Oh no we won't tell them right Dean"
Dean nods "Of course Sam we won't say a word." Sam gives him a stern look. Dean points to his mouth "My mouth is sealed."
"Got the food" Shaggy says as he helps the waiter with the food. The plates of burgers, fries, milkshakes, and pies took up the whole table.
"You want all this." The waiter says with confusion.
Shaggy nods "Indeed we do. It's an eating challenge."
"Um ok...enjoy I guess."
Shaggy sits back down "Thank you waiter."
"You're welcome"
Shaggy clears his throat "Rules. One: Don't cheat. Two: If you vomit you lose. Three: You can't get anyone to help you. Four: First one finishes is the winner. Right got all that?"
"Loud and clear" Dean answers.
"We would recommend standing up it helps the digestion better."
"Everyone in the diner is going to look." Sam says.
Shaggy shrugs "So it's a challenge everyone loves watching a challenge. Right Scoob."
"Run huh" Scooby says.
Dean gets to his feet "Ok standing up it is."
Shaggy points to the food "Five cheese burgers. Three milkshakes, four portions of fries, and three pies."
"Pies good choice. Dean loves pie." Sam says.
"Perfect I assume you would want to eat all of it then." Shaggy says.
"You bet" says Dean
Shaggy grins at Fred "Would you like to count down?"
"Sure" Fred answers "Ready"
"Yes" they all say.
I have a bad feeling about this Sam thought.
"Steady...GO"
Shaggy and Scooby immediately started eating the burgers taking tremendous bites out of it. Dean finished his first burger within seconds. He couldn't believe how easy this was.
Cartoon digestion must be different to normal digestion He thought.
Dean grabs the first portion of fries and pours it into his mouth. Shaggy grabs two portions of fries and pours it into his mouth. Scooby so far ate three cheese burgers and was on his last two.
Sam has seen his brother eat like a pig lots of times but this tops it all. His brother was now stuffing the fries into his burger and eating it. Sam was actually surprised his brother wasn't feeling sick yet.
Dean was now catching up with the other two. So far he has consumed three burgers, two portions of fries and one glass of milkshake.
I think I'm actually going to win this he thought with confidence.
As he was about to drink his second glass of his milkshake, a sick feeling started to occur in his stomach.
No not now I'm not being sick I'm not going to lose.
He ignores the sick feeling and knocks back the second glass of the milkshake. That made the sick feeling a whole lot worse.
Sam knew something was wrong because his brother was clutching his stomach with one hand and his face was starting to turn green. Sam stands up.
"Dean I think you better stop now."
"Can't" he says as he picks up another burger.
"Dean your going to be sick if you don't stop. Your face is already turned green."
"I would listen to your brother." Daphne says.
"I'm not giving up to those two." Dean says.
Shaggy takes a bite of his pie and grins "Me and Scoob are unbeatable."
"For now" Dean hisses.
He takes a bite of his burger and swallows. It was so hard to keep it down. The sick feeling was arising inside of him.
"I would give up Dean. Shaggy and Scooby are hard to beat." Fred says with a smirk.
Boy I want to wipe that smirk of your face Dean thought.
He was about to take another bite until he felt the sick feeling in his throat now. He was going to be sick. Dean quickly looks round for a toilet. In the corner of his eye was the toilets. Without hesitation, Dean rushes to it. The sound of vomiting came from the toilets. People paused with their food wondering if the man was alright in there.
Shaggy and Scooby finished the last of their food with huge grins on their faces.
"It seems we won again Scoob"
"Res we won we won" Scooby says feeling proud of himself.
Sam stands up and walks to the toilet door. "Dean you ok?"
The door slowly opens and the older Winchester comes walking out clearly looking embarrassed. Everyone in the diner was staring at him.
Dean glares at them "What you all looking at?"
Their faces turned in different directions and started whispering to each other. Dean goes back to the table dreading to see their smirking faces Fred's especially.
Shaggy holds out his hand "You did good I will admit that. Never seen anyone eat that much before."
Dean awkwardly shakes his hand then looks the other way the embarrassment still on his face.
Sam shakes his head slightly
That's what you get Dean when you try to compete against cartoon characters.
"Well that was interesting." Fred says as he stands up 'We better get going now."
"Yes that would be good." Sam says.
"You good now Dean? Your not going to be sick in the van?"
"I think his fine now." Sam says "You guys go ahead we will meet you in the van." They all nodded and walked out. Sam folds his arms and frowns at his brother "Congratulations Dean."
"I nearly had them."
"Dude you went green really green."
"So I didn't want to get beaten by cartoon characters especially the cowardly ones. Do you know how embarrassing that is."
"Yes it must be very embarrassing but Dean we are not here to mess around we haven't got time to look round, do food competitions, have sex with cartoon women."
"Yeah but Sam don't you want to try with the geek chic."
"Velma no seriously Dean."
"Oh come on Sam maybe you and Velma could go and do some research together."
Sam rolls his eyes at him knowing what his brother meant "No Dean not happening. You and Daphne not happening."
"But"
"No Dean this isn't a game. We got dragged here and we need to find a way out of here that's why we need to go to the mansion find the knight and get some answers or even kill him. We need to do that now."
Dean knew his brother was right. This isn't a game they could actually be trapped here forever and all he was worrying about was a stupid food competition.
He let's out a sigh "I'm sorry ok your right this isn't a game. This could eventually be a living hell."
"Exactly"
"We better get going. Otherwise they might decide to leave us behind."
"Leave you behind you mean." Both of the brothers chuckle as they go to the door and open it. "I will say Dean you did get to experience cartoon vomiting."
"Shut up Sam"
