You are woken by your alarm clock. Carefully you get dressed and, as a last thought, you tuck the broken laptop into your suitcase. There is a horn sound from outside and you look out of the window. Parked outside is a blue and green van with 'Mystery Machine' emblazoned in orange across the side. Daphne leans out of the van window and waves up at you. You wave back and hastily run down the stairs, dragging your suitcase behind you. Bizarrely, the nurse is gone, so you lock up behind yourself. Daphne waves frantically at you, even though you can see where the van is. "Velma!" she exclaims. "You can get in; just chuck your stuff in the back!" You open the door and slide into the back seat. "Like, hi Velma!" says a voice from behind you. You whip around, only to find Shaggy. "Reroh!" says a voice from behind him and Scooby slings his head over the back seat. You greet them and carefully tuck your suitcase beside you. There is a ripping sound as Shaggy opens a cardboard packet. Then there is a crunching sound, as Scooby Doo dives towards him. You drum your fingers impatiently on the seat, as Fred starts the car.
By the time you get to the house, Shaggy and Scooby have eaten three boxes of snack food, four massive burgers and, on one memorable occasion, fallen out of the van. Daphne jumps out and opens the door for you, waiting patiently as you get your bags out. The house takes your breathy away. It is tall and gaunt, shutters boarding up shattered windows. There are mismatched boards nailed on patches of wall, blocking possible damage. "Wow…" you hear Fred say. "This really is a haunted house." There is a crash as Shaggy tumbles out of the van. "Like, not so fast Scoob!" he exclaims, brushing dirt off his clothes. "There'll be plenty of food for all of us!" The brown dog bounds out of the van, towards the house. Then he stops short. He sticks his tail between his legs and mimes sneezing. "Scooby!" chastises Daphne. Words slip out of your mouth without you realizing that they are even yours. "What a ham actor!" you exclaim. Everybody stares at you. "Velma, you used to like, say that all the time!" explains Shaggy, when your confusion doesn't clear. "Oh…" you say. The syllables fall flatly in the air as the awkwardness kicks in. "Come on gang!" exclaims Fred, smiling forcedly. "I guess we should go check out this house!" he offers his arm to Daphne, who takes it. Scooby runs in after them and Shaggy follows.
