A UFO was soon coming and sent a beam of light for Crystal, Amber, and David.
"And now, it's time to go." David said.
"W-Wait! Go where?" Cherry asked.
"They have to go back home." Drell said.
"W-What? No!" Cherry cried out.
The three began to walk off to get back home.
"I hope you can forgive us for deceiving you." Crystal told Shaggy, Scooby, and Cherry.
"Yeah, like, we understand." Shaggy smiled sadly.
"Yeah, we completely understand." Cherry frowned.
"You really are a groovy guy, Shaggy," Crystal smiled back as she took his hands. "I hope you will always think of me as... A friend."
"Of course," Shaggy replied. "I just wish... Well... You know."
"I'm looking for someone too, but they say that long-distance relationships never work," Crystal coaxed to him. "So, with that being said, I'm going to go back to Brutus."
Brutus looked quite joyful overhearing that which told him that Crystal forgave him. Of course he had to keep it cool and not go overboard with how big he was.
"No! I can't let this happen!" Cherry cried out as she soon began to run to David. "I can't live without you!"
"Oh, brother." Drell muttered to himself.
"Daaavid!" Cherry cried out.
"I'm sorry, Atticus, but I have to do this." Drell said before using his magic to glue Cherry's feet to the ground.
"Yaugh!" Cherry yelped and soon was stuck. "No! Please! Don't let him leave me!"
"I'm sorry, Cherry, but I must go." David told her.
"Besides, it's where he lives." Drell said.
"He can't leave me!" Cherry cried out. "You don't understand! You don't know what it's like to feel like you have someone fill your heart with love and hope only to be taken away from you just like that."
"Don't I?" Drell reminded her.
Cherry soon remembered that Drell did understand.
"Are you done throwing your little tantrum?" Drell asked her.
"I just don't want him to leave..." Cherry said with tears in her eyes. "I've never felt so connected with anyone in all of my life!"
"Drell, she's telling the truth." Atticus said.
"I'm sorry, Cherry, but David must go home where he belongs..." Drell told her.
Fred looked so emotional about this that he began to cry which made everyone look at him.
"Goodbye, Scooby... I'll never forget you." Amber told the cowardly Great Dane before giving him a kiss which made him blush.
"Re roo, Ramber." Scooby replied.
Drell frowned as he knew who was destined to be with who thanks to his crystal ball.
"Thanks, everybody, we had a great adventure, and made new friends." Crystal smiled before kissing Shaggy.
"I know I sure did!" Cherry cried.
"Hey, it'll be okay," David told Cherry. "You'll find someone else on your own planet, and he's gonna be one lucky guy."
Cherry teared up again before hugging David while crying. David soon hugged her back. Crystal and David soon gave kisses to Shaggy and Cherry as this was goodbye. Brutus and the Nerdlucks soon stood under another tractor beam.
"See you on the other side?" Crystal smiled to Brutus.
"I'll call you." Brutus smiled tearfully.
Crystal smiled back tearfully as she was happy to be back with Brutus. The aliens soon began to leave.
"Will we see you again?" Atticus asked the Nerdlucks.
"Eh... I dunno... Maybe?" Pound shrugged with a small smirk.
"Well, if we do, it'll be a great visit." Mo smiled.
"Eh, I guess we'll see for later," Pound replied. "Catch ya guys later."
The aliens soon left.
The police soon came to take away Steve, Laura, and Max. Cherry grunted as she looked annoyed about being stuck to the ground.
"Oh! Sorry!" Drell said before he soon freed her.
"Thank you for finally freeing me." Cherry told Drell with a glare.
"You were getting hysterical, I had to stop you from doing something stupid." The warlock defended.
"Oh..." Cherry smiled sheepishly.
"I'm sorry you had to go through that, Cherry." Drell said.
Cherry looked up to him before hugging him now and crying again for David. Drell soon comforted Cherry and decided that it was best that she forget all about David as he brought out his wand.
"Oh, Drell, I feel so broken inside." Cherry said.
"I'm sure you do, Cherry, I'm sure you do." Drell replied as he tapped his wand in his hand a few times.
"I guess it's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all," Cherry sighed. "That's what adults always say... Sometimes I wish I could just forget I met that boy though."
"Don't worry," Drell said before zapping her with his wand. "You will."
"What was I talking about?" Cherry asked.
"We were about to go home," Drell told her. "The bad guys are under arrest."
"Oh, uh, right, I knew that." Cherry soon said with a slight glare.
They soon joined up with the others. The police soon came to take away Steve, Laura, and Max.
"So, these guys were trying to scare people by pretending to be aliens?" Cherry asked.
"Pretty much, yeah." Atticus smiled sadly, though he felt bad for her for David having to walk out of her life.
Drell soon whispered to Atticus, Mo, and Patch of what he did to Cherry's memories of David. The others soon listened and nodded to him, though it seemed a little bittersweet for Cherry, it was for the best.
"Yeah, and we would've gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those-" Steve grumbled.
"Quiet, you!" One of the cops scolded.
"Thank you for doing that." Drell told the cop.
"Believe me, it's my pleasure." The cop replied as he and the others took away Steve, Laura, and Max.
Lester appeared to be there, watching the three get arrested. "So, there never were any aliens?" He then asked.
An agent shook his head at the eccentric old man.
"There were!" Max cried out. "We saw them! They were big, and-"
"Aw, give it a rest already!" Steve complained. "Nobody's ever gonna believe us!"
"Yeah, we don't have any proof!" Laura added.
"I've got pictures!" Lester spoke up.
Max, Steve, and Laura gasped from that.
"You do?" An agent asked Lester.
"Yep! I'll show ya!" Lester smirked. "They're back at my place."
After Lester and the agents left, Atticus and the others tried hard to not laugh as his pictures were just paintings.
"Hey! Now they'll believe us!" Max smiled to Steve and Laura.
"Yeah!" Steve added.
"Maybe we could get a book deal!" Laura smiled back.
"Our luck's changing!" Max beamed.
The police officer soon slammed the door shut to allow Max, Steve, and Laura to be taken away for their misdeeds. The others soon let out their laughter once they were gone.
"I know our luck's changing!" Fred soon smiled as he saw the Mystery Machine with a tow truck.
"Yeah, lucky you guys." Drell said.
"Okay, you're all set," Buck said as he came out of the truck. "The radiator patch will get you to the city. That'll be 30 bucks."
'Oh, sure, fix just one van.' Drell thought to himself.
"Um, excuse me, b-b-but what about our van?" Cherry asked Buck.
"In the shop," Buck said. "You can come pick it up."
"Oh... Uh... Thanks." Drell replied.
"By the way, what were you doing earlier on?" Atticus asked.
"What do you mean?" Buck asked him.
"He means out on the field when we were going up to Scorpion Ridge." Drell explained.
Buck looked around and sheepishly took out a book to show them. "It's a hobby of mine." he then said.
"Reading?" Atticus asked, taking the book before opening it up to see some flowers. "Ohh..."
"I collect fresh flowers." Buck said bashfully.
"They're nice." Mo said.
"Oh, uh, thanks," Buck replied before taking his book back. "I've been keeping it quiet, because when people think you're soft, people walk all over you."
That seemed to hit Cherry in the heart slightly. Buck soon got into the truck and began to drive away from them.
"He really is a sweetheart." Mo smiled.
"Of course, I knew it all along, after all, I'm just like him." Drell replied.
Some of the others glanced at him for that like they didn't want to believe that.
"What?" Drell asked.
"Nothing?" Cherry's voice squeaked.
Shaggy and Scooby were soon shown, looking a bit depressed over losing Crystal and Amber.
"Guess they're still depressed." Drell observed.
"Can't say I blame them," Atticus said. "This must've been how you felt when you first tried to marry Hilda."
"You have no idea..." Drell sighed. "I finally make it to the wedding and everybody's already gone, and there's a note from Hilda saying she never wants to see me or talk to me ever again."
"But then many years later..." Patch smiled.
"Again... Sorry about our first meeting..." Drell said. "Especially when I heard Sabrina's last name for the first time. That kind of killed me inside even if it had been hundreds of years ago. I nearly turned into stone."
"Turned into stone?" The others asked him.
"If a witch or warlock loses his or her soulmate, they turn into stone and crumble into pieces." Drell explained.
"Yikes." Atticus winced.
"I hope the guys aren't taking it too hard." Daphne frowned.
"Yeah, I'd say there's someone out there for everyone, but I didn't know it meant 'out there'." Velma added.
"Ready, guys?" Fred asked Shaggy and Scooby, gesturing for them to come onto the Mystery Machine to leave Scorpion Ridge.
Scooby and Shaggy soon came to the Mystery Machine still looking sad.
