Enter Scruffy-Doo!

Scrappy was visiting his Uncle Scooby at his home in Coolsville. Shaggy was watching T.V and Scooby was setting the gang up some snacks.

"Oh boy oh boy! My favourite horror movie!" Scrappy yapped jumping on the sofa to watch TV.

"Nuh-uh Scrappy! I wanna watch a cookery programme with mm-mm goooooood cookin'!" Shaggy protested, snatching back the remote.

"Aww, comeon Shaggy I."

"No!"

Shaggy looked stern. Scrappy couldn't understand it. He was used to getting his own way. His uncle Scooby came into the room with plates of sandwiches. Scrappy saw his chance.

"Ta-da-da-da-da-da! Puppy power!" Scrappy yelled, jumped up and grabbed the plates. "Thanks a lot uncle Scooby! You're the best!"

Scooby grunted. "Rey!" he growled "Ro fair!"

"I guess I betta call the pizza guy" Shaggy sighed "Where's that money you saved for me scrappy?"

"I surprised you and got you an authentic music box!" Scrappy lifted his gift out of it's box and showed it to the friends.

"Scrappy! Now we're broke!" Shaggy yelled "We-we.That's it!"

Shaggy stormed off into the bedroom and the others followed to see what he'd do. They spotted him flinging objects into a suitcase by the bed.

"The mutt has got to go!" He roared madly, shoving shampoo and a toothbrush into the case.

"Hey! You can't throw him out!" Scrappy protested, "Who will rub against your leg in the morning or sit on your lap in the evening? Who will cower with you when your scared?"

Shaggy finished packing and slammed the lid shut. "That won't make the slightest bit of difference." He said

"But you can't throw MY uncle Scooby out!" Scrappy cried

"He's not going anywhere!" Shaggy said calmly.

Next thing he knew, Scrappy was hurled out of the front door and onto Shaggy's front yard. The suitcase came hurdling after him and pushed him out of the gates.

"Don't ever step foot in a Scooby Doo cartoon again!" Shaggy called.

Scrappy stood up and pulled his suitcase (Which was twice as big as he was) along the pavement. He stopped a few feet away out of breath. The station was across town on foot. For a pup of his size, it couldn't be done.

"It just can't be done" He whispered into the cold November air. He shivered with cold and looked back at the house that had once been welcome to him. He sighed and pulled the suitcase a few more feet.

"Look at yourself" Came a voice from the bushes. Scrappy spun around to face them.

"Who was that?" He called neversly. "Can you help me?"

The bushes remained silent. Then rustled and a small great dane pup, just like him met his eyes.

"You're pathetic" He sneered

Scrappy was quiet taken back by this remark "Who are you?" He asked

"You knew me a long time ago. I've been watching you since then. We share the same mother Scrappy..I'm Scruffy Doo"

Scruffy? If this was right he was standing with his brother, though he never knew he had one. Scruffy disappeared into the hedge and Scrappy followed. They emerged on the other side, back in Shaggy's yard. Hidden in the shadows he spotted Scruffy's dog kennel.

"Well? Get in before they see you!" Scruffy pushed Scrappy headfirst into the kennal.

The Great dane pup sat up with a dazed look in his eyes.

"There" said Scrappy "Now I shall start from the beginning. Our Mother Ruby Doo had just given birth to you little mongrel ."

Scrappy gave Scruffy a worrying look. Why was he so mean to him? Come to think of it, Why was Shaggy and Scooby so mean t his morning?

Scruffy continued "I was gonna be sent to Uncle Scooby too but I missed the train. Eventually I traced the train's destination to Coolsville. Posing as a rich lady's dog I caught a cab here. There I found you, Shaggy, Scooby and occasionally Daphne. But I knew that I despised you Scrappy. Yelling 'Puppy power' and Ta-da-da-da-da-da! Was so immature. Now it looks like your childish antics have caught up with you"

He stood up. "I'll let you stay one day in my kennal and then I throw you out too"

"Nooooooooo Don't! I'll be hungry and cold and..and...lonely!" Scrappy wailed

Scruffy grinned, pleased with his achievement "Well there is one way." he started

"What? What is it?" Groaned Scrappy "I'll do anything!!"

"O.k.," Scruffy grinned "Here's the plan."
