Mystery Incorporated Kids!

Chapter 3


So, with their parents following close behind, the kids were off to solve their first mystery.

Norville, Jr., Emma, Deanna, and Mia set off with Scooby-Doo, Jr. to look for the robber of Coolsville's finest grocery and retail stores.

Norville, Jr. brought his phone out from his pocket to see what information he could find out about this 'fish' who acted like a human.

"According to the news article on my phone," Norville explained, "the crook has usually been making his move of stealing from stores across Coolsville at night, when the stores are closed."

"Well, that settles it," said Mia. Our parents will never allow us to go out at night, especially on a school night."

"You know, guys," said Deanna. "I have an idea."

"Like, that'll be the day," said Emma. "It isn't scary, is it?"

"Oh, come on, Emma," said Mia. "You don't really think there's such a thing as a real monster, do you?"

"I don't know. But I certainly don't want to be there if there is a monster."

"Believe me, Emma. There's no such things as monsters."


Meanwhile, behind the kids, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne, and Velma were in the old 'Mystery Machine' following close behind their kids, wondering if they could pull it off.

"Well, they appear to be doing research on their phones," said Velma. "I think they'll do just fine."

"Like, I hope you're right," said Shaggy. "This is certainly one mystery I don't want to solve."

"Well, if they are able to solve this one," Fred replied, "Maybe we'll let them do the next one on their own. Daphne was not thrilled with what her husband just said.


Not long after both conversations, the kids finally get a glimpse of the monster they were looking for.

"Zoinkies!," said Norville, Jr. "It's the monster!" Emma and Scooby Jr. run away screaming for their lives.

"Well, at least now we know what the monster looks like," said Deanna, with her and Mia now running with Norville, Jr., Emma, and Scooby, Jr.

Just then, Fred, Daphne, Shaggy, and Velma saw the kids running toward their van.

"Zoinks!," said Shaggy. They must have found the monster!"

"Jeepers!, said Daphne. "Not only did they find the monster, it's chasing after them!"

The kids ran as hard as they could to get back to the Mystery Machine and get out of there as quickly as they could, while the monster was chasing them.

"Run, kids!, Run!," Fred shouted from the van. Once the kids got to the van, Fred opened the doors to let them in.

"Zoinkies!," said Norville, Jr. "That was a close one."

"No kidding, Norv," said Emma. "He almost got us. He almost killed us!"

"We've got to go back here tomorrow," said Deanna. "I think I know a plan that will catch that crook."


That's the end of chapter 3.
