Meanwhile...

Penn panted as he was walking all the way to the dude ranch while looking like he could pass out and die right now. "I should've... Waited... For the stupid airport..." he grunted before passing out in the middle of the road. "This is it... Goodbye, Cindy... Goodbye... Um,... Her friends... I'll miss you all. Hang on, Carlotta, I'm coming!"

"Ew, ew, I hate death, ew, no..." Cindy wandered to the road only to trip over Penn. "Oof! At least I landed on this giant marshmallow."

"Get off of me," Penn muffled. "I'm not a marshmallow."

Cindy soon got off and cleaned her glasses and took a closer look. "Jeez, it's you!" she then backed up nervously, she then came back and grabbed his hand to pull him up and tried to make him stand up as she leaned against his back. "Gah... Don't fall on me... Don't fall!"

Penn soon stood up, brushing himself off.

"Phew!" Cindy said in relief that he didn't fall on her.

"Cindy, you helped me stand up..." Penn smiled. "I guess you're not so weak and pathetic."

"Says the guy who guest starred in Friends in 1997." Cindy teased.

"Watch it." Penn growled.

"Sorry, Uncle Penn." Cindy replied.

"Say, where's your friend Mike?" Penn asked.

"She's looking for her Uncle Jess." Cindy told him.

"Wait... What're you doing here?" Penn asked.

Cindy narrowed her eyes. "I swear, you never listen to me, I should be asking what you're doing here!"

"I came to rescue you because I felt that you were in trouble." Penn explained.

"You came to rescue me?" Cindy cooed. "Aww... I knew it... Deep down with that wild and crazy personality, you're a puppy dog Mom would adopt with a big heart!"

Penn paused for a moment and put his hands in front of him with a playful smirk. "Tell Mommy that Puppy wants bath~"

"Don't ruin the moment!" Cindy groaned.

"Sorry, so, where are you other guys going?" Penn asked.

"To the grave of Dapper Jack." Cindy replied.

"Dapper Jack..." Penn repeated as he walked with her. "I feel like I've heard that name somewhere..."


Random flashback...

"Before I work with you, I must warn you to watch out for certain figures like Dapper Jack..." Teller advised.

End of flashback.


"Oh, my God..." Penn's eyes widened. "Teller can talk!"

Cindy gave him a deadpan look and they followed everyone else except for Mike and Lil.


Meanwhile, Mike and Lil was looking for the ex-gunslinger now worked for the Sherman Ranch.

"Mike, look at this," Lil pointed out. "I found some tracks... They look like horse tracks."

"Horse tracks, huh?" Mike asked before she took a closer look. "Hmm..."

"You think it could be from his horse?" Lil asked.

"It's still warm, he might not be too far from here." Mike said hopefully.

Lil nodded before gasping and looking back down to see a little bit of blood. "Uh, Mike... You may wanna look at this...?"

Mike came over and saw her girlfriend pointing at the little puddle of blood.

"Blood... From who?" Mike frowned.

"I don't like where this is going." Lil frowned back.

Mike sniffed the blood with her enhanced sense of smell due to being part wolf and her eyes soon widened. "I think this is Uncle Jess's blood." she then told Lil.

Lil's eyes widened back to that and she gasped. Mike and Lil continued to follow the horse tracks and blood.

"Mike, look!" Lil pointed ahead.

They both could see a man tied to a tree.

"Uncle Jess, is that you?!" Mike cried out.

"Mike, it is him." Lil replied.

They then ran to the tied up man as he groaned.

"Uncle Jess?" Mike asked.

"Mike... Is that you?" Jess weakly asked.

"Are you okay?" Lil asked the man.

"Yeah, I feel like I just got kicked by a mule." Jess groaned.

"Do you know who did this to you?" Mike frowned to her maternal uncle.

"I couldn't see," Jess replied. "After I got knocked out, the last thing I saw was these two guys and a girl."

Mike began to untie her uncle.

"Oh, you poor man..." Lil frowned. "You look trashed."

"I'll be fine," Jess assured. "I've had tougher challenges than this."

"I'm just glad you're safe." Mike soon hugged her uncle. "I was so worried about you."

"Sorry that I was worrying you, kiddo." Jess said as he wiped blood from his lip.

"The others are at Dapper Jack's grave." Lil told the ex-gunslinger.

"Let's go rescue them before they could get into trouble." Jess said as he hooked on his gun belt and put on his hat.

"Are you sure that you're all right?" Mike asked her uncle.

"I've faced much worse than this, Mike, Lillian, let's go." Jess decided.

"Okay, as long as you're sure." Mike told her uncle.

Jess then got on his horse while Mike and Lil got on the motorcycle and they all headed to the graveyard.


Cindy took Penn's hand as they came into the graveyard. "This is the graveyard..." she then told him. "Penn...?"

Penn frowned as he sat next to a grave marked 'Sam & Valda' as he looked like he was going to cry.

"Penn, what's wrong?" Cindy asked the man.

Penn wiped his eyes. "Nothing..."

"You can tell me..." Cindy sat next to him.

Penn sighed, he then showed her the grave. "Mom, Dad, this is Cindy..." he said with tears in his eyes. "Cindy, these are my parents..." he then said before crying into his hands.

"Oh... Oh!" Cindy replied. "Penn, I'm so sorry, please don't cry."

Penn sniffled as he grabbed her by her hood and blew his nose into her hood.

"Okay, stop, please!" Cindy cried out in disgust.

Penn soon sniffled and then wiped his eyes. Cindy fell down on the ground and grimaced as her sweater was now icky. The others met up with Penn and Cindy.

"Hey, what's going on here?" Velma asked.

"Nothing, Valerie, I was just leaving..." Penn sniffled.

"Velma." Velma corrected.

"Whatever." Penn said.

They heard a owl hoot which scared Shaggy, Scooby, and Cindy.

"Calm down, you guys." Fred told them.

"Sure, what's nothing to be scared about?" Shaggy replied. "We're just by my ancestor's grave at night in the area he's been haunting!"

"And the snack bar... It's... It's closed!" Penn cried out.

"NOOOO!" Shaggy, Scooby, and Penn cried out together in dismay.

"I thought you were trying to lose weight, eh, Uncle Chubbs?" Cindy poked Penn's stomach.

"Oh, look," Brianna said. "This is where they rent canoes."

"Ew, what's this eerie green mist?" Daphne wondered.

"Surely it's a smoke machine..." Cindy replied logically.

"Kinda suspicious if you ask me." Ellody said.

"Like, this place is giving me the creeps." Shaggy replied.

"Hey, there it is!" Trent said as he pointed to the headstone.

"The grave of Dapper Jack." Scott added.

There was then a strange moan noise heard.

"Huh? Look!" Velma pointed to the grave as there was now a green flame on it, and it even had words on it.

"'Evil Lives On'?" Jade read aloud.

They then heard disembodied laughter.

"I don't like the sound of that..." Ellody grew nervous herself.

They look above and saw Dapper Jack on his horse, shooting his guns.

"I knew that this was a bad idea!" Shaggy panicked.

"I know, I should've stayed home alone." Penn agreed as he felt he came all this way for nothing.

Velma then suddenly sneezed. "Well, the horse isn't a ghost... Wait! Can you be allergic to ghosts?!"

"Hmm... I feel like this might not be a ghost after all..." Ellody pondered.

"LIGHTNING AND HIS LADY FIRST IN THE ESCAPE!" Lightning cried out.

"Hold on a second, Lightning, I don't think that's a real ghost!" Ellody told her boyfriend.

Lightning didn't hear her, but flung her over his shoulder and everyone ran from the ghost who was chasing after them.

Ellody sighed. "The life of a genius is a lonely one."


The ghost laughed wickedly as he shot at them to block their escapes.

"I don't wanna die!" Chicken cried out. "I haven't even taken Katrina to the prom!"

"Help me." Lisa whimpered as she hugged Scott.

"I'M NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND!" Scott glared at Lisa.

"I think I wet my pants." Penn said which disgusted Cindy.

Everyone, except for Fred, soon held onto each other.

"This way!" Fred pointed as he found a way out.

Everyone followed, except for Scooby, he couldn't go anywhere because a flame was right in front of him. Scooby shivered as the horse snorted on him, but he soon zipped underneath the horse and ran with the gang.

"The canoes!" Daphne spotted.

Shaggy stopped with a glare. "I told you, I'm never getting in one of those!"

"Then stay here with the ghost!" Jade threatened.

"I'm getting in! Scooch!" Shaggy replied. "Come on, Scoob!"

"Come on, Scooby, you can make it!" Cindy called out to the Great Dane.

Scooby was running to the canoe and jumped into it and then the canoe as it started to move. Cindy groaned as she flopped on the end of the canoe, already looking sick to her stomach as the others paddled to get away from the ghost. The ghost then followed the group.

"I should've just stayed home today." Penn groaned to himself.

Shaggy and Scooby panicked as they put their hands in the water and paddled quicker as the ghost was coming after them.

"Oh, where's Mike and Lil when you need them?" Cindy moaned.

They soon rowed up to a fork in the water with two ways to go.'

"We can make it to that fork!" Chicken told the others. "He can't follow us if we stick to the right! Uncle Longhorn taught me that."

Dapper Jack shot his gun and a tree fell right in front of them.

"Or maybe he can!" Katrina yelped.

"Look out!" Cindy cried out.

They then went into the other direction with no choice.

"I think we're heading into the rapids!" Scott told the others.

Dapper Jack laughed wickedly as they went down the flowing water. They all tried to control the canoe so that they wouldn't hit the rocks. Unfortunately, they had no such luck as their paddles were crushed by the rocks on the way down the rapids.

"Penn, if we die, I just wanted you to know that I used your magic wand to unclog the toilet." Cindy said.

"Wait, what?!" Penn asked her.

Cindy just smiled sheepishly and continue to scream as they were heading to the Rapids. Penn held onto Cindy as they both screamed for their lives.

"Lightning can't go out like this!" Lightning cried out. "I never got to kiss a Super Bowl ring!"

The others mumbled about that.

"Hold me, Scott." Lisa told the former devious teen boy.

"Will you get off of me?!" Scott groaned. "I know you're Jade's friend, but get off of me, I love her, not you!"

"Lisa, get off of him right now!" Jade scolded her friend.

"Aww..." Lisa pouted.

"Can I tell to you for a sec?" Jade glared to her childhood best friend.

"Why is it getting so much louder?" Shaggy asked.

"WATERFALL!" Cindy called out.

"Maybe we can lasso that tree!" Velma suggested.

"Shaggy and Jade, you can do it!" Trent told the cowardly teen and the cowgirl.

"You got it, pard." Jade replied bravely.

"I don't know," Shaggy said. "I guess I can try."

"Shaggy, if you can't lasso that tree with Jade, we're all dead!" Daphne warned her cowardly friend before smiling innocently. "But, no pressure~"

Shaggy muttered nervously.

"Come on, Shaggy, ya can do it," Jade told Shaggy. "It's all in the wrist."

"Here goes nuthin'!" Shaggy called out.


With that, Shaggy and Jade managed to lasso the tree, but the celebration stopped as the branch broke off.

"Boy, that sucks." Penn groaned.

"Penn, am I gonna die with you?" Cindy asked.

"Sweetie..." Penn soothed with a smile and touched her shoulder.

Cindy smiled back to him.

"Yes." Penn suddenly frowned before crying miserably.

Cindy's eyes widened too and she cried along with him. "I haven't gotten to see a PG-13 movie yet!"

They all screamed as they were about to go over the waterfall, but something stopped them. Everyone looked back to see that the branch had got caught in a couple of rocks which held them back and secure as if by dumb luck.

"Wow, that was quite lucky." Jade smiled to Shaggy.

"Told you..." Shaggy sighed. "These things are death traps..."

Everyone soon got out to safety until the next morning as that was an adventure of its own.
