After eating the slop served, Scooby, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne, and Madelyn went into town. The villagers were having a party.

"Jeepers!" Daphe looked at the place "I wonder what's going on."

Just then, the Burgermeister turned around and saw the gang and walked up to them.

"Ah, It's the American Tourists." said Burgermeister "Oh and one of the VON DINKENSTIEN GIRLS. Where is your sister?"

"If you must know, Burgermeister, Velma is back at the castle." said Madelyn

"Welcome to the torch festival!" Burgermeister said.

"Hmm. There don't seem to be many out-of-towners at your fair, Burgermeister burger." said Shaggy

"That is because your girlfriend here and her sister's family's madness has cursed this town, Skinny sir." said Burgermeister

Madelyn smiled at Shaggy.

"Whoa. WHOA. WHOA! WHOA! Girlfriend?" Shaggy interuppted everything "Madelyn is NOT my girlfriend!"

"What? Shaggykins, Are you breaking up with me?" Madelyn asked.

"Break-up?" Shaggy shouted!" No! We were never together in the first place! I never liked you anyway! I'd rather jump off a cliff than date you!"

Everyone (well except Burgermeister, of course) gasped. They'd never seen Shaggy so...abrasive.

Madelyn glared at Shaggy "FINE! I'LL JUST GO BACK TO THE CASTLE!"

She stormed off.

"Good riddance." Shaggy grunted.

Please, make yourselves welcome." said Burgermeister.

Daphne and the guys walked around the fair. Everything looked so, medevil and middle-aged. It was like nothing they'd ever seen.

While Daphne and Freddy went in different directions, Shaggy and Scooby walked with Burgermeister. They saw something that got their attention. It was some sort of contest.

"Rogosi eating contest." Scooby read the sign.

"That's GOGOSI! Not rogosi!" Burgermeister corrected Scooby.

"Rhat's rut I said." Scooby said.

"Hey, Burgermeister. Uh, what's a gogosi?" Shaggy asked Burgermeister.

"It is our word for the American food, the donut." said Burgermeister

"DONUT?" Shaggy and Scooby grinned widely.

"I may not speak Transylvanian, but I know a good doughnut when I see one. Like, count us in." said Shaggy.

"Reah, count us in." Scooby agreed.

He and Scooby hoped onto the platform and ate all the donuts on their plates.

"Whoo-hoo!" They cheered.

"He is like one of us!" Said a man "Little boy, eat like the rest!"

Scooby and Shaggy started eating like pigs at the contest. Outdoing every other competitor.

"I'm gonna need some more chocolate sauce and powdered sugar down here." said Shaggy

Shaggy and Scooby soon defeated their competors. THEY WON THE CONTEST!

"Never has one man swallowed so many gogosi." Said a villager "Even the one with fish eggs."

"Fish eggs?" said Shaggy

Scooby burped "Rexcuse me."

Meanwhile, Daphne ran after Madelyn. She couldn't believe Shaggy would say those awful, hurtful things to her.

"Madelyn come back!" She called out. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going back to the castle to see what Velma is doing." She said "That and I don't want to see Shaggy again! I never want to see that insensitive jerk AGAIN! NEVER!"

Daphne gasped "Madelyn..."

"All I ever wanted was for him to love me and care for me and notice me. But that idiot doesn't care about me at all! IF HE DOESN'T WANT ME, HE CAN'T HAVE ME!" She kept running off.

"Madelyn come back!" Daphne ran after her.

Daphne eventually caught up with Madelyn and tackled her to the ground.

"What's the big idea tackling me, Daphne?" Madelyn asked.

"Sorry, Madelyn. But how do you explicit me to talk to you?" said Daphne "Now listen, Shaggy didn't what he said. I'm sure he likes you."

"I'm sure he doesn't!" said Madelyn.

"What makes you say that?" Daphne asked.

"Look, I WANT TO BE ALONE!" She shouted as her face turned red and tears tells out of her eyes "And tell that lanky nitwit he can go jump off a cliff because I don't ever wanna see that stupid Shaggy AGAIN! In fact, Let's end it all right now, Daphne. Kill me."

"What?" Daphne gasped.

"Kill me now, I'm begging you!" Madelyn kept crying.

"But, I can't kill you Madelyn." Daphne pleaded. "You're my friend and I can't kill people. We're the heroes. We don't kill people."

Daphne couldn't believe this. In all her years of fighting bad guys, monsters, and solving mysteries, one of her friends actually was contemplating suicide. Madelyn was heartbroken to the point of wanting to be killed.

"Just kill me now Daphne, no one would care anyways." Madelyn started to cry even harder. "I don't want to live anymore. Just do it."

"But Madelyn..." Daphne tried to reason.

"JUST DO IT!" She shouted "I WANT TO DIE!"

"Look, Madelyn." Daphne put her hands on Madelyn's shoulders "I know you're sad right now but Velma is my best friend and She'd never forgive me if I killed her little sister."

"DO IT! NOW!" Madelyn continued sobbing and saw a nearby wooden bar. "Hit with this piece of wood."

Daphne sighed "Okay."

Daphne started to swing the board and was about to hit Madelyn. But at the last minute...

"Wait! Stop!" Madelyn karate kicked Daphne in the stomach.

Daphne was sent sliding and crashed against a garbage can.

"Oh my god!" Madelyn ran to Daphne "Daphne are you okay?"

"Yes. I am. But What the heck was that all about?!" said Daphne, rubbing her head

"I'm sorry! I just said I wanted you to kill me! I didn't think you were ACTUALLY going to go through with it!" Madelyn shrugged.

"I wasn't! I was trying to scare some sense into you!" Daphne said.

"Oh." said Madelyn.

"Although that was a nice kick. I didn't know you knew karate." said Daphne

"Me either." Madelyn shurgged again.

"Madelyn, Maybe there is a way you can get Shaggy to like you." said Daphne

"THEY'RE STILL HOPE?" Madelyn smiled widely.

"Sure. Maybe you need to change you wardrobe. Come on, I'll buy you something new to wear." said Daphne.

"All right, Let's go." She said.

Daphne and Madelyn walked along the town and found a little shop. They went inside. Daphne saw a good looking dress

"Oh, this is adorable." She looked at the shop owner "Excuse me, Could I see this in a size two? To buy."

"HEY! I though you were here to make ME FEEL BETTER!" Madelyn yelled at Daphne "Not try on clothes."

"Sorry! We don't serve Von Dinkenstiens!" said the shop owner

"OH COME ON!" said Madelyn "Even you hate my family? You discriminate against us? Fine, If I'm not welcome in your store, You're not welcome in MY castle. Madelyn Dinkley Von Dinkenstien is out! Peace!"

Madelyn walked away folding her arms.

"Okay. Then I guess That's that." said Daphne "I am not with her anyways. Never seen her in my life. So could I see this dress in a size two? To buy."

"Why?" said the shop owner "Fraulein, at the very least, you're an acht."

"An acht? asked Daphne "I mean, an 8? I don't think so."

"Ja. And here's the only one in that size." the Store Owner handed Daphne the dress.

When Daphne was done putting the dress on, she looked in the mirror. It fit perfectly and her hair was a mess.

"Jeepers, it does fi-" She then saw her reflection "What? I'm an acht? I mean eight! And what's going on with my hair? This frizz. I use a sulfate-free smoothing shampoo. What is happening? I-I-I'm UGLY!"

"Daphne stop being such a drama queen." Madelyn sighed "It's really no big deal. It's just a dress. So what if your hair is a little messed up?"

"A LITTLE MESSED UP?!" Daphne grabbed Madelyn by the shirt "DON'T YOU REALIZE WHAT THIS MEANS?"

"That you're a spoiled rotten brat like your son?" Madelyn asked sarcastically.

NO!" She shouted again "I'M UGLY!"

Daphne collapsed down on the floor and started whining like a stupid baby.

Madelyn was sulking on her way back to the castle.

"Boy this is pathetic." Madelyn slapped her forehead "I'm depressed, Shaggy will never my boyfriend, my sister has gone cuckoo, and I am in a town where people hate me. Some day I'm having. Can't get any worse."

Suddenly it started raining.

"Seriously?" She asked "OH COME ON!"

Meanwhile, Shaggy and Scooby were getting rewarded by Burgermeister

"You two have prevailed in scarfing down by the thousands our culture's signature treat." said Burgermeister "To reward you, we present you with our signature garb...Two sets of traditional Lederhosen." He held up two sets of lederhosen's"The short leather pant is durable and allows for freedom of movement, where the suspenders hold them up for a secure fit. And they have all the traditional embellishments. A latpundt, the messer socks, and even a Schlitzflech."

Shaggy and Scooby put on their new outfits.

"Like, man, these threads are out of sight." said Shaggy

"Reah!" said Scooby "Out of sight."

"They sure do take the cake, or should I say the gogosi?" said Shaggy.

"And now, we shall reward you once more." Said Burgermeister.

A nearby villager handed Burgermeister some sausages, which Burgermeister handed to Shaggy and Scooby.

"A delicious Blutenwursten, a Transylvanian blood sausage. The signature cured meat of our culture. It is to be eaten immediately." said Burgermeister.

"Look, Scoob, it's you and me made out of sausage." Shaggy pointed to the meat.

"Like, no problem there, Mr. Burgermeister. We love anything made into sausage." said Shaggy

"Reah!" said Scooby "Re sure do."

Shaggy grabbed a sausage and poured some mustard on it.

"Ahh. OK, here we go. First big bite. Uhh..." he said but then, he stopped "I'm not hungry."

"Me neither." said Scooby.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Burgermeister, this like never happens, but Scoob and I are totally full. We couldn't eat another bite." said Shaggy

"You dare reject the blutenwurster?" said Burgermeister "That is greatest insult!"

"No, it's not an insult. It's a compliment." Shaggy tried to tell them "We can't eat your signature cured meat because we're so full of your signature treat."

"Yeah, a compliment." said Scooby "We'll eat them when we're hungry again."

"It is an insult and you know it!" said Burgermeister.

"This is an insult, indeed!" said a villager.

"You two are worse than those disgusting Von Dinkenstien girls!" said another villager.

"No, no." Shaggy pleaded "You don't understand!"

But the ignorant and meldodramatic villagers didn't want to listen. They got even angrier the more Shaggy tried to explain.

"Let's run these two out of town!" said another villager.

"SEIZE THEM!" Burgermeister pointed at Shaggy and Scooby.

Shaggy and Scooby walked away backwards slowly. Burgermeister and the villagers walked towards them torches raised.

"RUN SCOOB!" Shaggy started to run away.

"Right behind ya Raggy!" Scooby ran behind Shaggy.

Meanwhile things weren't going well for Freddy.

"You've got a torch in Transylvania." He was reading some bumper sticker "Oh, that's rich. This bumper sticker would be perfect
on the Mystery Machine's...bumper..."

He then remembered what happened to the van.

"I guess not. Everything reminds me of her." He saw an antenna ball. "She would have loved this antenna ball." he sobbed and walked away.

If you think that was going bad, Shaggy and Scooby had some problems of their own.
