"Honey, I'm back!" Aragorn calls out as he enters the castle.

"Daddy!" his little son exclaims running to him. Aragorn picks up his little boy and hugs him.

"Who are these people, daddy?" the four-old asks pointing to the little Hobbits standing at the door.

"Hello, darling." Arwen greets her husband. "Hi, sweetheart." Aragorn says as he puts his son down. "Darling, there is someone I would like you to meet." Aragorn says pointing out each of the gang. "This is: Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo. Everybody, this is my father-in-law, Elrond, my wife, Arwen and our son, Frodo." "Isn't that a coincidence," Sam says ruffling the boy's hair, "I have a son named Frodo too!"

"So, like, now that we're here and have met everybody," Shaggy buds in, "where do we go to get the chow?" "Well you go up to your bed chamber and your maid will bring it up to you." Legolas explains. "Groovy!" Shaggy exclaims

"Reah, Roovy!" Scooby parrots. Scooby and Shaggy look around the place. Scooby eyes over two beautiful Elvish dog maids. "Like, come on, Scoob." Shaggy interrupts his pet's daydreams, "Let's head up to our rooms."

"Rokay!" Scooby barks happily.

"This is, like, totally groovy, huh, ol' buddy?" Shaggy exclaims as he and the Great Dane enter their adjoining rooms. Every wall is of some bright, warm color. The windows are wide open with a soothing morning breeze blowing through them. "Reah!" replies Scooby taking in a deep breath of fresh air. "Say we, like, chill out for a moment." Shaggy instructs, "Now, this is my room and you have your own room right here." The Beatnik Hobbit opens a door to reveal another room exactly like the first with everything dog accessible including the same Elvish dog maids that Scooby spied earlier. "Ri'll reet rup rith rou rater." Scooby calls back to his owner.

"Have a nice rest, ol' buddy." Shaggy replies as he closes the door.

"Would you like to rest, Mr. Doo?" the head maid asks.

Scooby swallows hard then replies, "Rokay!" and settles down on a couch in the center of the room surrounded by the maids. The head maid claps her paws and music begins to play and the others fan Scooby down and dance around him as the Great Dane dozes off to sleep.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Like, wow!" Exclaims Shaggy, "What did I press to get this room service?" He looks around him at all the young Elves tending him. Lying on his bed he relaxes as his maids dance around the room, play music and pop food into his mouth.

Later at dinner, Fred asks Gandalf "So, uh, Gandalf, now would probably be a good time to tell how the ring survived Mt. Doom."

"Yeah," Sam agrees, "you really didn't tell us anything about that!"

"Yes, I suppose I should tell you about that." Gandalf says. "Well it all started just before Sauron was killed, well he put a curse on the ring so that it would never lose all its power."

"Zoinks! That sounds freaky, man!" Shaggy exclaims.

Gandalf gives a slight smile. "Yes, as you would say 'Freaky."

"So, what happened after the curse?" Daphne urges Gandalf.

"Well, I don't know for certain, but Sauron had a brother, and he is slowly bringing the power back to the ring." Gandalf states. "However, he can never bring the full amount of power to the it."

Shaggy lets out a sigh of relief. "Boy, like, that's a relief!"

"Reah!" Scooby says.

"I think we should go to bed now, we are going to need a goods night sleep." Legolas says.

"Good idea." Fred lets out a yawn as he thinks to himself, "Finally, I agree on something with this guy!"

Back in his room, Shaggy lies down in his bed as the maids pull the covers over him. Scooby comes in the room to says goodnight just as Shaggy asks the maids, "Like can I have a kiss goodnight?" The head maid bends over the bed and gives Shaggy a kiss on the cheek.

When Scooby sees this he quickly says, "Roodright Raggy." And runs into his room, gets on his bed and says to his maids "Ran Ri rave ra riss roodright roo?" The maid does so and Scooby lies there in his bed with a big smile on his face. "Roodright." Scooby sighs dreamily. In Shaggy's room Shaggy is looking at his beautiful room. Then he says to himself. "Wow, this the first time I ever had my own room. Before I had to share with Scooby and boy does he smell bad!" Shaggy laughs. He turns on his side and falls fast asleep.

The next day at about one o'clock everyone sits in the meeting room to discuss how they would travel to Mount Doom.

They are all sitting in a circle. First is Gandalf, then Scooby is next to Shaggy, and next to them are Frodo, Sam Merry and Pippin. Then there is Fred, Daphne, Velma, Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli. Arwen is next to her father, Elrond. Little Frodo is on Arwen's lap.

"Okay, we're here to discuss how we are going to get to Mount Doom." Gandalf starts.

"Like, I have a suggestion." Shaggy says raising his hand.

"Go on."

"Like, how 'bout by bus?"

Velma shakes her head as if tell Shaggy to be quiet.

"Airplane? Car? Train? Taxi? Helicopter? Dog sled?" Shaggy says.

"Hey Shaggy, try foot." Daphne says.

"Blah! To bad we left the Mystery Machine back at HQ." Shaggy sighs.

"Back to are main subject." Gandalf says. "We will stay the rest of the day here and leave in the morning."

"What are we going to be doing today?" Velma asks.

"Basically just packing up food, maps and other supplies for the journey." Aragorn replies.

"What time will we leave?" Daphne asks.

"About five in the morning."

"What!! I only get up at noon, I'll be too tired to walk." Shaggy complains.

"Well, I'm not going to carry you." Fred says.

Later on the gang, Legolas, Gimli, Aragorn and his four-year-old son, Frodo are sitting in a room chatting.

"You know Aragorn, your son Frodo is just so cute, but what made name him Frodo?" Daphne asks.

"Well, if it wasn't for Frodo, I wouldn't be king." He answers.

"Like that's a good reason." Shaggy comments.

"Daddy, can I go with you to mount Doo?" Little Frodo asks.

Every one chuckles slightly.

"It's Mount Doom, and I think you are a little to you for that." Aragorn answers.

"Aww, pwease?" The four year old asks again.

"Maybe next year." Aragorn laughs.

The young boy ponders his father's words for a moment then smiles and says, "Okay!"

"Why don't you go play with Sheila?" Aragorn suggests to his son.

The boy just smiles and waves goodbye.

"Who is Sheila?" Fred asks.

"Oh she is my Basset Hound that Frodo loves to play with whenever he comes to visit his grand father." Legolas explains.

"Ris re Relvish?" Scooby asks.

"Uh-huh." The Elf replies.

"Rake re ro rer!" Scooby says as he stands up like a zombie.

Every one laughs.

"How many Elvish dogs do you have here?" Daphne asks. "About, eighty." Legolas replies.

"Rive re rall rof rem!" Scooby exclaims.

"Well, I guess I better start my daily runs around the castle." Shaggy says as he starts to leave.

"Shaggy we have been here for a day and you haven't been running at all." Daphne states.

"I know; that's why I'm going to start it." Shaggy replies.

"Well, why are you running anyway?" Velma asks.

"I, like, need to keep in shape for running from all those Orks." Is the reply.

"I have some things to do too." Sam says getting up from the table.

"What's that?" Daphne asks.

"I have a few letters to write." Is the reply, "Rosie must be worried sick."

"That's right." Frodo agrees, "We did leave on such short notice."

"Then, I have to also write something to the city council." Sam continues.

"Of course," Freddie remembers, "you're the mayor of Hobbiton."

"How'd you know?" asks Sam.

"Like, we told you, Hobbit;" replies Shaggy, "we're from the future."

"This could be an interesting adventure." Gimli states.

"I suppose we better get ready for tomorrow." Fred says.

"You're right, Freddie." Velma says getting up and grabbing Daphne's arm. "Bye everybody see you later. Come on, Daph." And pulls her friend out of the room. "Velma," Daphne protests, "what's going on?" "If we're going to go on a journey that is going to be as dangerous portrayed in the movies, we better change out of these skirts."

"Into what?"

"Pants." Replies Velma pushing Daphne into her room.

"What?" Daphne asks.

Velma ignores Daphne and calls the maids in. They come in with two pairs of horrible looking brown pants.

"Velma!" Daphne shouts, "I can't wear those horrible things, they'll totally clash with my purple shirt!"

Velma rolls her eyes paying no attention to Daphne and says, "I'll be in my room if you need me." Velma goes in to her adjoining room.

"I think I'll take a bath first." Daphne thinks to herself. The young woman grabs a towel from her closet goes into her bathroom. As soon as Daphne Comes out of the bath she raps a towel around her and stick her head into Velma's room and ask Velma, "Velma, do you have and purple dye with you?" then the bespectacled brunette answers sarcastically "No, I haven't dyed my hair purple lately." Then Velma notices that that Daphne has the towel around her and says "Why do you want to take a bath in it?"

The red head rolls her eyes and says "Please Vel?"

The short girl laughs and says, "Sorry Daph I'm fresh out."

"Velma, stop kidding around!" Daphne laughs. "I really need that dye!"

"But, why?"

"I want to see if I can dye those horrible pants purple to match my shirt." Daphne replies.

Velma starts to laugh again. Daphne frowns when she sees this and asks "What so darn, funny Velma?"

Velma calms down but is still slightly laughing.

"Well, do you have any?" Daphne asks.

"No, what would I be doing with purple dye?" Is the reply.

"Whatever." Daphne sighs slamming the door. "Whoever designed these pants had terrible fashion tastes. I'll ask someone else."

"I agree with you their Daph, they are kind of shabby." Velma remarks sitting down. She reaches for a knapsack and begins to start packing when a cry comes from the neighboring room, "Does anybody have some purple dye?" "Yes," Comments Velma, "that's sure to get their attention."

Daphne goes into her room to get dressed. Just there is a knock on the door.

"Who's there?" Daphne calls.

"It's me, Freddie. Can I come in?" Fred asks.

"Hold on, I'm almost finished dressing." Daphne calls. "Okay, you can come in, the door is unlocked."

Freddie comes in with a sword in his hand. Daphne steps back and screams slightly.

"What's that for, Freddie?" She asks in a shaky voice.

"It's to protect me from the Orks." Fred answers.

"Wouldn't it be easier with a machine gun?" Daphne asks.

Fred laughs slightly and says, "It's okay. Well I'd better be going, I'm going to practice sword fighting with Shaggy. "

"Shaggy has a sword, too?" Daphne asks.

"Yep." Freddie replies.

"Oh boy!" Daphne laughs.

They both laugh. "I'll be out in a few minutes, maybe I'll watch the tournament." Daphne says jokingly. "Okay, bye!" Fred calls as he goes out the door.

Daphne sits down on her bed and grabs a comb that is on her dresser. After she is done combing, she goes into Velma's room and says, "Velma, do you want to go outside with me, Fred and Shaggy are going to have a sword fight and I thought it might be fun to watch?" Daphne asks.

"Sure, I'll be right with you." Velma calls from the bathroom. She comes out and says, "Okay, I'm all ready to go!" "Okay, come on." Daphne smiles.

The two run down the stairs to a quaint little courtyard lined with green shrubs, roses and various other flowers. There are already other a few Elves and men gathered in the center watching the two little Hobbits battling each other. Upon making their way into the center of the small crowd, Velma and Daphne look around. Fred stands a few feet away from Shaggy holding in one hand a sword and a shield in the other; both, of which, he can barely pick up. Shaggy, however, choosing this time of his life to be sensible, bares only plain armor and a dagger, which compared to his present height, is large enough to be a regular sword.

"Give me a moment, Shag." Freddie strains trying to lift his sword, "I'll be right with you."

"Like, give it up Fred." Shaggy calls back, "You're never going to get that thing off the ground!"

"No way!" the blond Hobbit yells at his friend.

"I guess Fred is really trying to be like the gladiators." Velma jokes. Daphne smiles then her eyes notice the other Hobbits and Gandalf in one corner along with Scooby. "Come on." She says pulling Velma behind her, "Let's go watch with Scooby."

"Hey, look!" Sam says as he sees his the girls coming, "Her come the girls."

"Hi, fellas." Greets Daphne as she and Velma join the small group.

"Daphne, I've been looking all over for you!" a voice calls out. Everyone turns to see Pippin running up the garden path with a small container in his hand. Upon meeting his companions, he says, "Arwen heard your weird cry for purple dye and asked me to give this to you since you were no where to be found."

"They have purple dye?" Daphne asks surprisingly, "See, Velma? It pays to be weird. But then, you would be rich."

"Ha ha ha." Velma replies, "What surprises me is the fact that your little scheme worked."

"Yet, you would have wasted your entire fortune taking those biyearly eye exams and paying for those high prescriptioned glasses." Daphne jokes further. Feeling fed up, Velma playfully lifts her hand to hit Daphne. However, Daphne snatches Velma's glasses off her face and puts them on.

"Hey, Daphne!" Shaggy yells, who had been overhearing the conversation while Fred was still attempting to lift his sword, "Aren't you going to ask 'you wouldn't hit a woman with gasses on, would you?"

"Are you kidding?" Daphne calls back, "With her vision, how can she even hit me?"

Afterwards, Daphne and Velma decide to go back to their rooms. "That fight sure was fun wasn't it?" Daphne remarks as they go up the hallway. "Yeah, Freddie looked so silly trying to lift up his sword!" Velma giggles, "And he never got it more than three inches off the ground!" "Good thing Legolas handed him that dagger." Daphne sighs. "Yeah," comments Velma, "but by the look in Fred's eyes, he didn't appreciate it."

"I wonder why Fred doesn't like Legolas." Ponders Daphne.

"Oh, I bet he has his reasons." Velma smiles.

After a while, a maid enters the room and announces that dinner is to be served.

During the meal, the main conversation revolves around Fred and his 'giant' sword.

Afterwards, everyone adjourns to the drawing room where they relax and joke more about Fred's little courtyard scene. Daphne finally gets time to dye her pants and wastes no time in doing so. Velma, who had found Elvish to be quite an interesting language, settles down with a few books while Legolas teaches her the language's fundamentals. Scooby and Shaggy find their way into the kitchen and develop a taste for Elvish cooking—much to the dismay of the head chief. Fred gets pulled into what appears to be a gymnasium by Aragorn and is given a few brief lessons on sword fighting.

After an hour or two, Gandalf suggests that they retire for the night. "But why?" Pippin whines. "It's quite obvious." Merry replies before Gandalf, "We have to get up early, and the only way to do it is to go to bed early. Didn't you learn anything from our first journey?"

Sam gets up from the table he was sitting at with a few envelopes in his hands. Walking over to Aragorn he says, "Could I have someone deliver these letters back to Hobbiton?"

"Sure." The king replies, "I'll send a messenger first thing in the morning."

"Like, there'll be no need for that." Shaggy says as he and Scooby enter the room. They had overheard the conversation and want a good excuse to go back to Hobbiton. "Like, Scooby and I gladly volunteer. Right ol' buddy?" "Ruh-huh!" the Great Dane barks.

"And we can, like, stay in Hobbiton and take in the sights, and food. Eh, Scoob?" "Ruh-huh!" Scooby barks licking his lips, "Respecially rhe rood!" "And encounter Orks and other terrible things all by yourselves?" Velma jokes, "Shaggy you're so brave."

"On second thought, maybe going with you guys may be a better idea." Shaggy quakes, "Right Scoob?"

"Ruh-huh." Whimpers Scooby.

"I thought you would agree with me." Velma grins.

Pippin tries to get Gandalf to let him stay up however, it is unsuccessful.

"But, Gandalf," Pippin asks, "why can't I stay up and watch the Flintstones?" "Pippin, televisions haven't been invented yet, how could you stay up and watch it anyway?" Daphne asks.

"I don't know, but it sounded like a good idea." Pippin says.

"Hey, Pippin." Merry starts. "Where did you here about these 'Flintstones'."

"The Hobbits from the future told me." Pippin says.

"Like, we told ya, Hobbit:" Shaggy complains, "when we were in the future we weren't Hobbits."

"I know, but it sounded good that way." Pippin replies.

"Enough of that!" Gandalf scolds quieting everyone down, "Now let's all get to bed and get a good night's sleep."

Every goes to bed. Just before Shaggy goes to sleep he calls out, "Goodnight, sleep tight and don't let the Orks bite and if they do bite them back." He lets out a big yawn and goes to sleep.

A/N: "Hey Velma," Daphne's voice comes through the open adjoining door, "Are you excited about the journey tomorrow?" "I guess so." Velma replies, "It's going to be a lot different than our usual mysteries."

"Besides the fact that we're Hobbits and don't have the Mystery Machine?" Daphne continues.

"Yeah," a voice comes from the doorway, "I miss the old van." Velma instantly sits up. "Who's there?" she asks.

"Fred." Is the reply, "And Shag's here too"

"Rand Rooby-Doo Roo!" rings out a bark.

"As well as us Hobbits." Says Frodo.

"I suppose none of us can sleep." Concludes Daphne as she enters Velma's room.

"You got that right." Merry replies.

"Too bad television isn't invented yet." Pippin sulks, "I would sure like to see the Flintstones and maybe Tom and Jerry."

"Another future production?" Sam asks.

"Yep."

"Do I still hear voices?" a loud voice calls through the darkness of the hallway. Everyone gasps as Gandalf's tall figure comes out of the darkness. "Now shut up!" he yells at the poor Hobbits, "Go to bed so Dream Dog can update us and everyone else can read us and review." The other Hobbits run off to their rooms and into their beds. All, that is, except for Pippin.

"Come on, Pippin, so other people can read an review." Urges Gandalf.

"Okay, bye love ya all!" Pippin calls out, "Read the story and review! Read the chapter, review! Read and review!"

Noticing that Pippin appearantly not going anywhere, Gandalf grabs him by his collar and drags him off to his room. Pippin however, does not shut up, "Bye!" he calls, "Send a nice review! Review as soon as possible! Bye!"
