Scooby-Doo! Water and Wind, Through Time They Spin
Chapter 4
They looked around and saw that the land in front of them was covered in tall plants, and a small house sat behind the vegetation. "I think we lost them," Fred said.
"And ourselves too," Daphne added as everyone climbed out of the water, "Where are we?"
"You're on my land, that's where," an older man came into view, "What are you doing here?"
"Sorry for trespassing, sir," Fred replied, "We were trying to escape from a dragon and two crocodiles."
The older man looked as if he didn't believe them. "I've lived by this river for years and I've never seen any dragons or crocodiles. Now, scram!" He went into his house and shut the door.
As the gang went through the woods, Fred said, "That man wasn't very friendly. I wonder if he could be behind this dragon problem?"
"Maybe," Chillers said, "but I can't imagine him flying around. The Dragon looked pretty realistic to me."
"The Dragon could be real," Velma said, "but I have a feeling the crocodiles are fake for four reasons. First, crocodiles aren't found in this area. Second, crocodiles walk on four legs-these ones walk on two legs! Third, I've never heard a crocodile growl, and fourth, I've never seen a crocodile move so quickly."
"We need to catch all three monsters to be sure, but how are we going to do that?" Fred wondered.
"Like, three monsters-triple the creepy! This place is too ghastly for me!" Shaggy said.
"Rand re roo," Scooby said, "Ra ragon…" He stretched his body and pretended to fly around like the Dragon, "rand rocodiles." He stood on his hind legs and growled. He showed sharp teeth like the crocodiles did, and the fur on his back stood out like their scales. "Roo reepy."
Soon everyone came to another part of the river. By the edge of the land they were on was their boat. Fred looked puzzled. "How did our boat get here? Wasn't it in the middle of the river the last time we saw it?"
"Do you think those crocodiles moved it?" Chillers asked. As if in response to her question, the two crocodiles suddenly popped up from inside the boat and growled.
"Run!" Fred shouted. Everyone ran, and the crocodiles gave chase. The chase went over fallen branches, under tree limbs, through bushes, and between trees.
Then, Chillers had an idea. "Don't worry, guys! Queen Chillers will stop those monsters!" She jumped up and shot a beam of ice at the crocodiles. They became encased in ice and stopped in their tracks, but soon broke out of the ice and ran away.
"Crocodiles are cold-blooded animals," Velma said, "They shouldn't have been able to recover from being frozen."
"That proves they're fake," Chillers said, "but who could be behind them-and why?"
"Let's get back to the boat," Fred suggested, "Maybe we'll find some clues on the river."
When everyone was back on the boat, Velma thought about what had happened recently. "This doesn't make sense," she said, "Why were the crocodile monsters on our boat, and why would they move it? It seems strange that they chase us but don't do any damage to our boat."
