Chapter 1: New Mystery
Disclaimer: I do not own Scooby-doo or the Christmas Carol.
"Hello is this Mystery Inc.?" a frantic voice asked over the phone.
"Yes," the voice of Fred clearly answered.
"I need your guy's help," the voice said more rushed than before.
"What kind of ghost or monster do you have?" Fred asked knowing what the man wanted.
"It's so horrible, it's the ghost of Jacob Marrely," the man sounded more scared then Fred had ever heard.
"Jacob Marrely?" Fred asked trying to remember where he had heard that name before.
"Yes, he walks around my castle. His chains clank and he constantly moans," the man whispered into the phone afraid Jacob would hear him.
"Oh that Jacob Marrely," Fred realized that Jacob Marrely was the ghost in the Christmas Carol. "I'm sorry sir, but we don't do foney calls," Fred told the man hanging up the phone.
"Who was it Freddy?" Velma asked looking up from her science magazine.
"Fake call," Fred sighed sitting down next to her.
"I wish we would get some work," Velma said adjusting her glasses.
"Where did the other three go?" Fred realized looking around the room.
"Daphne took the two to get the pizza," Velma informed her helpless friend.
"Great we aren't going to get any," Fred stood up and headed to the kitchen to make himslef a sandwhich.
"Pizza," Shaggy announced kicking the front door open.
"Rizza rive me rome," Scooby-doo said walking in after Shaggy.
"Well where is it?" Fred asked looking at the two.
"Daphne's got it," Shaggy pointed behind him. Fred looked to see Daphne struggling with 10 boxes of pizza on one hand. Finally she walked into the room, exasperated she dropped all the boxes on the floor.
"Ren recond rule," Scooby shouted as him, Shaggy, and Fred dove into the pizza mess.
"Well that's groovy," Velma walked over to Daphne. They watched as the guys ate and fought over the fallen pizza.
"Ans a small mushroom and ham pizza for the girls," Daphne smiled producing a pizza from behind her back.
"Sweet," Velma's eyes lite up as the walked into the kitchen to eat it. As they finished their pizza aand the boys were well done eating their pizza the phone rang.
"I got it," Daphne announced walking over to the phone. "Hello."
"Is this Mystery Inc.?" The voice from before asked.
"Yes it is, what would you like us to solve?" Daphne asked the man politely.
I have a ghost, he moans and makes noises, I can't sleep at night," the man said, you could tell he was trembling.
"Do you live in an expensive house?" She asked already thinking of possible reasong for the hauntings.
"Yes I live in an old Castle Mansion," the man told her.
"Alright if you will give me all your information we can be there tomorrow morning," she told him picking up a pen and pad of paper.
"Finally we got a mystery to solve," Shaggy said from the other room. He was laying on the floor with the button on his pants broken.
"Ray!" Scooby celebrated also on the floor unable to move.
"We got a job!" Daphne yelled from the kitchen after she had hung up the phone.
"Let's celebrate, Ice Cream anyone?" Velma came from the kitchen with a jug of Ice Cream.
"Uhh," The boys moaned as the girls laughed at them.
WITH GHOST MAN
"Thank you," he told Daphne as they hung up with each other.
The man was young maybe in his late 20's. He stood about 6ft tall, with short wavy brown hair. His body was thin, but with strong features.
"Women," he scoffed sitting in the chair next to the telephone.
"Ro-o-b-e-e-rt," an eery voice shouted the man's name. Robert could hear chains as the ghost of Jacob Marrely walked towards him.
"What is it Jacob?" Robert gruffed not wanting to hear the dead man's ranting.
"You too will have these chains. I made these chains during life," Jacob moaned as Robert got up and walked up stairs.
"I'm going to bed, good night Jacob," Robert waved the ghost off.
