Scooby kept sliding down the swirly painted hole until he finally reached the very bottom and boy, it was pitch black.
"Rello? Ranybody here?" He wondered. "Rello? Raggy? Anyone?"
He panted as he looked around.
"Ranyone?" Scooby barked.
"Scooby? Scooby-Doo is that you?" said a familiar voice.
"Raggy? Where are you?" Scooby gasped.
"Over here, Scoob!" Shaggy said.
"Where?" Scooby called out.
"Right here!" said a dark, brooding voice.
Just then, a large white hand appeared, holding Shaggy in its palm.
"Raggy!" Scooby gasped.
"Scooby-Doo! Am I glad to see you!" Shaggy exclaimed.
"Scooby!" Another voice called out.
It was Daphne, who was also being held in the palm of a giant white hand.
"Raphne!" Scooby exclaimed.
Just then, Reflector Spector's large floating head emerged before them.
"So, you're the infamous, Mystery Incorporated!" He grinned evilly. "I should've known you'd come for me."
"Put my friends down, you beast!" Scooby growled.
"Awww, but we were having so much fun." Spector started juggling both Shaggy and Daphne.
"Scooby! Help!" They shouted.
As the Spector continued to juggle the duo, Scooby looked around as he pondered his options.
Just then, a box of Scooby Snacks fell out of Daphne's bag and landed in Scooby's hands.
"Ooh, yummy!" He said.
"Scooby! This is no time for a snack! Save us!" Daphne shouted.
"And like, hurry!" Shaggy added. "I'm getting dizzy!"
Looking at the snacks, Scooby got a brilliant idea. Reaching into the box, he grabbed a Scooby snack and threw it at Spector's head.
"What the?" said Spector.
Scooby kept throwing treats at the demon until he dropped Shaggy and Daphne while trying to deflect the Scooby Snacks.
"Ow! Hey!" The Spector exclaimed as he tried to deflect the Scooby Snacks thrown towards him. "Stop it!"
"Shaggy! Quick! Grab the chest and get us out of here!" Daphne panicked.
"No need to tell me twice!" Shaggy took the Chest of Demons out of his bag.
"Oh no you don't!" Reflector Spector grabbed the chest with his large gloved hands.
"Scooby, quick! Throw some more snacks!" Shaggy gasped.
"We're all out!" Scooby gulped.
Daphne quickly reached into her purse and found something.
It was a small jar of powdered makeup.
"This might cost me my flawless skin for a while, but this is a matter of life and death." She thought.
She opened up the small jar and threw all the powder onto Reflector Spector's face.
"Aaahhh! I can't see! I'm blind!" He screamed as he was blinded by the powder.
"Now, Shaggy!" Daphne exclaimed.
"You got it, Daph!" Shaggy nodded.
He opened up the chest and Reflector Spector was sucked right into the chest and Scooby sealed it up right.
With Reflector gone, the trio took a moment to catch their breaths.
"Oh man, that was like, so close." Shaggy breathed.
"Yeah, but at least we got the third demon." Daphne nodded.
"Now all we have to do is find a way out of here." Shaggy pointed out.
Just then, the whole place started to rumble.
"Zoinks!" Shaggy gasped. "What's happening?"
Just then, the floor began cracking and falling apart like an earthquake.
"Raahhh!" Scooby jumped into Shaggy's arms. "Earthquake! It's an earthquake!"
Shaggy swallowed. "Seems like...this world's collapsing, now that we've captured Reflector Spector."
"We'd better call Mr. Van Ghoul, right now!" Daphne took out the crystal ball and called Vincent.
"Yes?" Vincent's image appeared on the ball.
"HEEEELLLLPPPP!" Scooby and Shaggy screamed.
"What's happening? Did you capture the Spector?" Vincent asked.
"Yes, we did, Mr. Van Ghoul." Daphne replied urgently. "But the ground around us is collapsing."
"Oh dear! I was afraid this might happen!" Vincent said. "I forgot to tell you that if you capture Reflector in the mirror world, it will cause a catastrophic earthquake that will cause you to fall into oblivion...permanently!"
"Permanently?" Scooby and Shaggy screamed. "AAAAHHHH!"
"Can you get us outta here?" asked Daphne.
"Yes, but I will have to make it fast!" Vincent nodded. "To get out of the mirror world say these words to your pendants: Abra-conundrum, confusia, penumbrums!"
Immediately, the trio repeated the three words without missing a beat.
Next thing they knew, they were back outside of the funhouse.
"Whew, that was a close one." Scooby sighed of relief.
"Yeah, good thing, too." Daphne added. "One more second, and we would have been history for sure."
"I don't think I wanna be anywhere near a mirror for the next while." Shaggy said.
"Surprisingly, neither will I." Daphne added.
Meanwhile back in prehistory, Betty arrived with Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm for dinner.
"Mom, we're home!" said Pebbles.
"And ready for dinner!" Bamm Bamm added. "So Wilma, is the food ready?"
"Uh, yeah about that." Wilma placed her hands on her hips. "I'm afraid we won't be eating for a while because Fred lost the turkey!"
"I didn't lose it, it got stolen!" Fred retorted.
"Stolen, how?" Bamm Bamm asked.
"Some guy held me up at gunpoint, but of course, I fought him back with my amazing monster strength." Fred boasted. "Unfortunately, he managed to run off with the turkey."
"Well that's just great!" Betty pouted. "Now what're we gonna- Wait a minute! Chester? Is that you?"
"Unga, yes it me." Chester nodded.
"My goodness, it's been years!" Betty said. "Where have you been?"
"And who are those three lovelies?" Bamm Bamm looked at the Teen Angels.
Pebbles then stomped on Bamm-Bamm's foot.
"Ouch!" He hopped on his non-stomped foot.
"You wanna say that again, sweetie?" Pebbles glared at him.
"No, Pebs." Bamm Bamm shook his head. "Maybe we can just give them the good news, anyways."
"And what is this good news, exactly?" asked Fred.
"Well, things have been going pretty good." said Pebbles. "Bamm-Bamm's screenplay has been greenlit by UniverShell Studios, I've become head of marketing at the office, and business is booming down at the garage. Plus, things are about to get even better..."
"WHAT IS IT?!" shouted everyone.
"We went to the doctor's this morning and guess what?" Pebbles bit her lip. "Bamm-Bamm and I going to have a baby!"
"WHAT?!" The adults all shouted.
"But, but, but, but-" Wilma stuttered. "How? Why? Y-y-you're not even married, how are-"
"Isn't it wonderful?" Bamm-Bamm smiled. "Ya'll are gonna be grandparents!"
"I can't believe this." Fred sighed. "Could this day get anymore freaky?"
Just then, someone was knocking at the door.
"Now who could that be?" wondered Fred as he opened the door the reveal a police detective. "Oh Perry, what's up?"
"Fred, we found the thief who stole your turkey." said the detective. "Here he is!"
It was a little boy with a backwards hat, a blue loin cloth and blonde hair.
"You gotta be kidding." Fred growled.
"This is Stoney, a caveless boy who steals from honest, hardworking citizens." Perry explained. "He's been kicked out of every foster home in Bedrock and we've been trying to catch him for months, but now that we have, he's going to juvie!"
"Well, I'll be darned." Fred placed his hands on his hips.
"Caveless? Oh Fred, that's horrible!" Wilma exclaimed.
"Horrible? Bah!" Fred barked. "That's what he gets for ruining our dinner!"
"Please Perry, isn't there something we can do?" Wilma asked Perry. "I'm sure he's not a bad kid."
"I'll tell you what, Wilma..." said Perry. "Seeing as you and Fred have already have a kid and because I like you, I'm gonna let Stoney stay with you guys for a while."
"WHAT?!" Fred shouted.
"If you two can get through to him and show him how to behave, I'll let him go." Perry said. "So, have fun."
As soon as Perry was out the door, everybody looked at Stoney in complete and awkward silence.
"So...got anything to eat around here?" He asked.
