"Get this dog off of me!" Simone snarled.

Scooby did as she said. "Rorry..."

"You two look like you've seen a ghost." Fred looked to the cowardly duo of his gang of friends.

"Like, we did!" Shaggy cried.

"Ruh-huh." Scooby agreed.

"Where?" Trent looked around.

Shaggy went to show them a room. "Here."

Everybody looked into their room, but of course, saw no ghost.

"Like, in the mirror," Shaggy explained what type of ghost it was. "It was some Civil War guy."

"Well, there's nothing in the mirror now, guys." Fred said to them.

"Nothing behind the mirror either." Brianna observed.

Velma looked with her, but found something else. "Wait a minute..." she went to move the mirror as she felt something off and blew on the dust.'

Scooby sniffled from the dust and then sneezed. "Rexcuse me..."

"That's okay, Scooby." Velma smiled to him and she started to dust for any clues or evidence. "Hmm..."

"Something the matter, Velma?" Trent asked in concern.

Velma took out a cloth to clean and she found writing on a displayed plaque. "'Property of Colonel Jackson T. Pettigrew'."

"There were confederate barracks on this island." Simone explained to the gang.

Lena came in. "Dinner's ready~"

Everyone went to the dining hall, except for Mike and Jo.

"Hey guys, aren't you-" Daphne started to ask, but then noticed the two were gone. "That's weird... I thought they were here."


Meanwhile, outside...

"We gotta do something about this." Mike sounded fierce.

"Like what?" Jo asked.

"Let me help." a voice volunteered.

The two tomboys turned around to find a ghost of a young girl about 10-years-old with long blond hair and wearing a purple dress and black shoes.

"My name is April Johnston and I died here."

Mike and Jo looked at the girl, a bit wide-eyed.

"What do you mean you died here?" Jo didn't realize April was a ghost.

"I did..." April came closer and showed she was transparent.

"If you're dead, how can we see you?" Jo asked.

"Do either of you believe in ghosts?" April asked, gently stroking her hair.

"Well, I do..." Mike had a small smile. "Because I remember this one time Queeks summoned the islanders' ancestors before..." she shook a shudder, then looked to April. "When did you die and how?" she then asked the ghost girl.

"My family and I decided to vacation here," April explained. "It was at the Harvest Moon, three werecats drained us for immortality and I was the last one they drained..." she then shed some tears. "It was awful."

"Where are your parents?" Jo asked.

"They're away for now," April explained. "I told them I would go for help this time... Do you all think you can help us?"

"We're kinda trying to avoid the werecats and zombies ourselves, but we'll help you if we can... Sorry to hear about you and your parents though." Mike vowed to help the ghost girl.

"The zombies that you speak of are the good guys." April then informed them.

"Good zombies?" Mike and Jo sounded doubtful.

April nodded. "I assure you... The werecats just drained us for immortality... They have been doing it since the 1700's..."

"That was around when the Civil War was!" Mike pieced together, knowing a lot of her history.

"After Morgan Moonscar and his pirates killed Simone and Lena's friends and family, the two girls prayed to their cat god to get revenge on the pirates and that's how they are werecats." April concluded.

"Is that why Simone has so many cats?" Jo couldn't help but ask.

"She's a cat lover."

"How do we stop them?" Mike asked the ghost girl.

"I read in my history that werecats are sometimes defeated by werewolves, but I don't think there are werewolves on this island." April frowned.

"Yeah?" Mike asked, showing her baby fangs. "Wanna bet?"

April was a little surprised, but she found friends in these two, so maybe it wouldn't be too bad. "You're a werewolf?"

"Born and raised... Though I got my powers fully when I turned 12," Mike admitted. "My mother was raised by werewolves."

"And what about you?" April looked to Jo.

"I'm a werewolf too, but a little different." Jo explained.

"I turned her." Mike added.

"Can we count on you two to keep our home safe again?" April asked. "Please?"

Mike and Jo looked to each other, then back with smiles and nodded.

"Oh, thank you..." April smiled. "I'd hug you guys if I could, but..." she showed her ghostly self.

"We understand, kid, don't worry, we're gonna solve this mystery and get rid of those werecats." Jo assured her.

"Thank you so much, my friends," April was very pleased right now. "When you defeat them, we can finally rest in peace."

Mike and Jo softly smiled to her.


Back at the house, Lena and Justine served everybody dinner of Louisiana's finest delicacies such as gumbo, biscuits, crayfish, and potato casserole.

Simone smiled as everybody sat at the table to eat, but she frowned since Scooby was there. "Couldn't you all take him to the kitchen?"

"Why?" Brianna asked. "Scooby's part of the gang!"

"Tables are not a proper place for dogs to eat." Simone scolded.

"She's kinda right, guys..." Cindy spoke up as she looked eager to try out this new food she had never eaten before.

"She reminds me of Eustace." Brianna said to Trent.

Trent nodded in agreement.

"Hey, where are Jo and Mike?" Lena asked, noticing they were gone.

"Probably had to step outside for some fresh air..." Double D shrugged. "Nature is an interesting thing from a faraway land from home."

Ed smiled once he saw a gravy boat and poured it on all his food.

"We'll save some plates for them." Justine suggested.

Maggie glared at the cats, she was always more of a dog person than a cat person.

"So Justine, did you like the letter I gave you?" Trent changed the subject.

"Yes, thank you so much, Trent." Justine beamed to him.

"Letter?" Velma overheard their discussion.

"From her brother." Brianna explained.

"I didn't know you had a brother, Justine." Daphne added.

"Yeah..." Justine sighed a little. "His name's Justin and we're twins."

"What's he like?" Fred asked.

"He's my best friend..." Justine smiled, missing him so much right now.

"Makes me think of Shaggy and his sister." Velma smiled once they ate.

"He was on Total Drama Island with me," Trent explained more. "I don't suppose you've heard of that show?"

"I heard of that show," Daphne replied. "Wasn't Justin that hot guy who was eye candy to the girls?"

"Yeah..." Justine said softly.

"He's a pretty cool dude, didn't talk much though." Trent knew about Justin since he was actually on Total Drama.

Justine smiled to him a little. "Yeah, Justin's actually a little shy sometimes until he gets to know someone better... He hasn't really talked with someone longer than about a year except maybe me. When we were in fifth grade, the teacher sent him to the principal's office because everybody else was staring at him and couldn't get their work done."

"What about your folks?" Velma asked.

They were all suddenly interrupted by Scooby and the cats. They were causing too much trouble and Simone had enough.

"That's quite enough!" Simone grabbed the Great Dane's collar. "The dog will have to eat outside!"

"Routside?" Scooby didn't like the sound of that. "Ruh-uh!"

"Like, there's a dead guy out there." Shaggy reminded her.

"May I make a suggestion?" Lena spoke up and volunteered.

Outside, Shaggy and Scooby were eating in the van.

"It was nice of Lena to suggest this idea." Shaggy smiled.

Shaggy and Scooby ate just as Mike and Jo came back.

"There you guys are," Trent said with a smile. "Where were you?"

"Uh, just needed some fresh air." Mike covered up with a smile.

"Hope you guys are hungry, Justine and I made plenty of food for everyone." Lena invited, smiling to them.

"Thanks, I hope you don't mind that me and Mike eat with Shaggy and Scooby in the van." Jo offered.

"If you want, I'm sure they'd like the company." Lena smiled.

Mike and Jo got their plates together and once they were set, they went to the Mystery Machine to join Shaggy and Scooby in dinner.

Daphne was really interested in about the ghosts and zombies while Fred just believed they were men in masks as usual.

"If there's treasure, I get a 90% cut." Eddy grinned eagerly.

Double D rolled his eyes at the statement.


Meanwhile, Shaggy and Scooby were eating the biscuits until they heard a banging back of the door.

Shaggy gulped. "Like, what was that?"

Scooby simply shrugged.

Shaggy opened the door. "Jo, Mike, like, what are you guys doing here?"

"We decided to join you guys since you'll probably feel alone out here." Mike answered.

"Like, could ya warn us next time you're coming out here?" Shaggy asked.

Jo and Mike glanced to each other, then rolled their eyes and carefully hopped in the back of their van with their dinner Lena and Justine made for them. Shaggy and Scooby wanted to be away from the cats, so the van was parked near the swamp.

"You guys want some peppers?" Shaggy offered.

"You guys gotta stop eating those..." Mike glanced at them due to past times eating the fiery vegetable.

"Like, they're not that bad." Shaggy insisted.

"Reah!" Scooby agreed.

Shaggy and Scooby then ate the peppers, and then steam came out of their ears.

"You guys okay?" Jo asked.

Shaggy and Scooby ran out of the van suddenly and drank the swamp water while Mike and Jo rolled their eyes.

"Boys... Go fig..." Mike scoffed.

As the cowardly teen and the dog were drinking water, they saw green energy coming up the water. This made them both scream suddenly.

Mike and Jo kept eating until they heard them screaming.

"Should we check on them?" Jo asked.

"They probably saw a frog or something..." Mike shrugged as she wiped her mouth.

"ZOMBIES!" Shaggy yelled, sounding very frightened.

"Zombies?" Mike asked. "Are you sure?"

"Look, there's no such thing as-" Jo looked out the window and saw zombies indeed and screamed with Mike.

"PUNCH IT, SHAGGY!" Mike yelled.

Shaggy got in the driver's seat with Scooby and drove away from the zombie-filled swamp as quickly as they could. They couldn't drive away though since the tires were stuck in the mud.

"Zoinks, we're stuck!" Shaggy cried.

"Okay, it's official, I think I'm gonna believe Ed's crazy stories from now on." Mike stated.

"I don't even believe in his stories!" Jo retorted.

Shaggy saw two zombie girls coming. "Like, we don't want undead girlfriends!"

"Come on, guys!" Mike called as the zombies crawled further to the van.

Shaggy was able to start the van and made the zombies fall off and he drove as far away from the swamp as possible.

"Ripes!" Scooby clung to Jo.

Shaggy drove as quickly as he could away from the swamp. Jo grunted as she held Scooby against her will.

"Hurry up!" Mike held her head. "Last thing this girl needs is her brain eaten by zombie doofuses!"

The van's tires wouldn't go, so they all stepped out of the van and ran away, but ended up running into the gardener. They thought he was a zombie, so they kept on running until they were back at Lena and Simone's.


Daphne heard something in the bushes. "Hi-YAH!" she judo flipped the person and saw who it was. "Shaggy? Scooby!?"

Eddy felt something touch his shoulder. This made him scream and jump into Justine's arms.

"Mike, what happened to you?" Double D asked in concern. "You look like you saw something..."

"It's those zombies!" Mike and Jo told them.

The gardener showed up, looking rather angry. "Those crazy friends of yours are always running and screaming near the bayou about those zombies, but I never see any!"

"You never do..." Velma sent a look back. "You're never around when those zombies show up..."

"We better split up and find out what's going on here." Fred suggested as always.

"I'll go with Trent, Velma will go with Beau, Shaggy, Scooby, I want you to go with Ed, Double D, and Eddy, Fred, go with Daphne, Maggie, go with Cindy, June, and Dee Dee, then Mike, Justine, and Jo go together," Brianna listed. "Any questions?" she then asked.

"Why do I have to go with Maggie?" Cindy asked, struggling.

"Don't worry, June and Dee Dee are gonna be there with you, so she won't bully you that much." Brianna soothed.

Cindy still whined about being with Maggie.

"Are you guys sure you saw zombies?" Eddy asked.

"Don't tell me what I didn't see, shrimpy." Jo snarled to Eddy.

"Okay, okay, chill, will ya?" Eddy rolled his eyes. "Let's go, guys!"
