I don't suppose any of you remember me. I'm sorry it's been so long since I
updated, School is a killer especially with final coming up.
As always I'd like to thank my reveiwers.
AmberCab1: It's always nice to get new reviewers. I hope you didn't give up on waiting yet. Not to say that I'd blame you.
Alice: I finally updated for ya. I hope you enjoy the new chapter.
Mlle Dinkley: Thanks for the complements. I am a true scooby fan, so I do realize that there was already a character called Max the Midget in the episode "Bedlam in the Big top" in 1969. However, this is a different Max the Midget.
Enough talk time for the show.
(The gang walks out of the clown tent and are confronted by a skinny man with slicked back black hair and glasses. He looks to be in his late thirties.)
Man: Have you kids seen Peter Redwood around?
Fred: Who are you?
Man: The name's Snivley, Seymore Snivley. I'm the greatest circus owner in the world.
Daphne: What circus do you own?
Snivley: Well, I don't actually own one yet.
Voice off screen: And your not getting this one.
(The voice came from Miles Redwood. He walks over to Snivley, with Peter close behind.)
Snivley: Ah, Peter. I've been looking for you. So, are you ready to sell your circus to me.
Peter: Well, I .... uh.....
Miles: My son already told you he wouldn't sell, so get lost Snivley.
Snivley: (getting angry) I believe I was talking to the real owner of this circus. Besides how long do you think you'll be able to run this place with that Headless Clown running around here. You'd be a lot better of if you sold it to me.
Velma: (whispering to Fred) Sounds like the Headless Clown's hijinks are working to his advantage.
Miles: (to snivley) For your information, that ghost won't be a problem for much longer. (points toward the gang) These kids are going to get rid of the Headless Clown for us.
Snivley: (looks at the gang) Oh really.
Fred: That's right. We're going to find out what's really going on around here.
Snivley: (looks at Scooby) Don't tell me your going to have that dog sniff him out for you.
Scooby: (confused) Rog? Rhere?
(Snivley walks away)
Snivley: My offer still stands, if you change your mind, Redwood.
(Once Snivley is gone, Peter looks at his father.)
Peter: Maybe I should sell to him. It doesn't look like I have much of a choice.
Fred: Don't worry Mr. Redwood. We haven't given up yet.
(In this scene the gang is standing around outside one of the tents.)
Velma: No clues in there either.
Fred: We can't just give up. There has to be a clue to this mystery somewhere in this circus.
Daphne: But how do we find one?
Shaggy: (shaking) W-why don't we ask (gulp) HIM!?!
(The gang looks at where Shaggy is pointing and they see the Headless Clown floating in the air.)
Headless: The Redwood Circus is finished. (he grabs his head and pulls it off his body) He he he he he!
Shaggy: ZOINKS!!!(Shaggy jumps into Scooby's arms)
Scooby: RIKES!!!
Daphne: Any ideas, Fred?
Fred: Lets get out of here!
Shaggy: At last, a plan that I totally agree with.
Scooby: Re too!
(Music starts: "Send in the Clowns" )
(The gang jumps up and starts running in mid-air, then suddenly dissapears off screen with the Headless Clown right behind them.)
(The gang run to a clown car and all pile inside closing the door behind them. The clown, still carrying his head runs over to the car and opens the door. Several clowns trample the Headless Clown as they come running out of the car. The clown is laying on the ground with footprints all over his body. He gets up slightly dazed, and gets trampled by the gang as they get out of the car.)
(Daphne and Velma are now being chased by the clown, who now has his head on his body again. The girls run over to an elephant, who is drinking from a tank of water. The girls pick up his trunk and point it at the clown. Water comes shooting out of the trunk and knocks the clown's head off his body. His head lands on the seasaw of a strength testing machine. The clown head looks up and sees Fred standing there with a mallet raised over his head. Fred hits the seasaw, sending the clowns head up and DING!!!)
( Scooby and Shaggy run into the big top and the Headless clown runs in after them. Once inside the clown looks around to see if he can find them. Suddenly he is swept up as Scooby picks him up while swinging from the swings like an acrobat. Once at the highest point of his swing, Scooby tosses the clown up, making him do a couple of flips. The clown comes back down to Scooby, who grabs him by the head in order to catch him. The clown head comes off in Scooby's hands causing the body to fall towards the ground. Shaggy, on the ground, pushes a tank off water onto the screen for the clown to fall into. The clown's body falls in with a splash, and then he pops up out of the water. Shaggy, realizing it's a body without a head, stands up straight with his hair sticking up for a second before running off screen. Scooby, realizing he is holding the clown's head, yells in fright and then throws the head at the body. The head lands on the body upside down. The Headless Clown looks at the screen so that we can see him with his head on upside down.)
(The gang runs over to a trailer and runs inside closing the door behind them. The Headless Clown flies past the trailer, obviosly not realizing that he just missed them.)
(Music stops)
Fred: (whew) That was close. Where are we?
(The gang looks around and sees a desk with "Peter Redwood" on it.)
Velma: This must be Peter Redwood's office.
Daphne: (noticing all the junk scattered around the room) Not much for cleaning up after himself is he?
(Scooby sniffs around the floor and finds a robotic arm on a stand in the corner of the trailer. He pushes a botton on the stand and the arm comes to life and grabs Scooby's nose.)
Scooby: REOOOWWW!!!!!
(Scooby pulls hard, trying to get free. The arm lets go of Scooby's nose, causing him to stumble backwards and crash into a bookcase. The gang turns to see what the noise was, and see Scooby pop his head out from the pile of books that fell on top of him.)
Shaggy: Like, quit goofin around, Scoob.
Scooby: (shaking his head to get rid of his dizzyness) Ri didn't do it. Re did. (Scooby points towards the robotic arm.)
(Velma walks over and picks it up)
Velma: Jinkees! A robotic arm! A very well put together one, at that.
Fred: Hey, look at this. (He walks over to Scooby and picks up the book on his head.) It's an instruction manual on advanced robotics.
Shaggy: Like, what does robotics have to do with who's behind mister 'nothing from the neck up' out there?
Velma: I think I'm beginning to figure out this mystery.
Daphne: So what do we do now, Velma?
Shaggy: I say we make tracks for the nearest Pizza Hut. I sure could use a piece of peanut butter and potato chip pizza to calm my nerves.
Scooby: Reah! Reh heh heh heh heh.
Fred: I have a better idea. Let's set up a little surprize for that big top terror.
Shaggy: (shaking) (gulp) Like, how is that a better idea?
A/N: That's all for now Scooby fans. I leave you with a little readers challenge. In the next chapter the monster will be unmasked, so I just thought I'd ask if you know who did it. Consider the suspects and clues and tell me who you think did it and why. I think I would make the song a little more fast paced than it is. I heard that it had a slower pace than it should for a good chase scene. I want to say thanks to Mlle. Dinkley for the song suggestion.
See you next time.
