Wolfie: I still do not own anything related to Scooby Doo, just my oc so please don't steal her. Now as I mentioned before the 2002 Scooby movie doesn't exactly say what age the gang is. Or what year it is, so I am just making things up when it comes to that. So for the record the gang will be in their early twenties when they split up and when they get back together. Now this is rated as mature, even though the movie is PG, cause we all know what that "cleaned your beans" statement from the movie really means. And we also know what Scrappy was yelling before the helicopter door was shut. Now please read, review, and I hope you like the book so far.


Chapter 1: Wow-O Toys Factory, The case of the Luna Ghost

In the Wow-O Toys factory after hours everything seemed to be calm and peaceful, that is until a all white clown like ghost appeared. Smashing through a window of miniature version of himself with a hostage under his arm. This ghost was the Luna Ghost and his "hostage" was one Daphne Blake of Mystery Inc. She had gotten caught yet again, which was no surprise to Penny as she watched this happen from her designated spot. She was in charge of the conveyor belt controls whilst Velma was supposed to work the net. Meanwhile Fred was down below with a fire hose whilst Shaggy and Scooby sat hidden inside a nearby barrel. The Luna ghost hadn't noticed any of them as he was high above them, cackling like a mad man. Daphne was also high above them, kicking her legs and flailing her bound wrists around as she's man handled by the ghost. Obviously uncomfortable about the situation as Penny is glad she's not the designated damsel in distress of the group. Sure she also feels bad for Daphne, but not that much as they both don't really get along that well anymore.

"Let go of me! Ah! Okay, now I really have a wedgie." Daphne said as the Luna Ghost used a pillar full of a green bubbling liquid as a spring board. "Fred! Velma! Penny! Can you guys hurry it up? This ghost keeps grabbing- ah!" She yelped as the ghost grabbed what she was talking about in regards to her yelling. "Please!" Daphne pleaded as this caught Velma's attention.

"Jinkies." Velma said as she stood next to Penny who was just watching Daphne. "Fred. Come in, Fred. Fred! Can you hear me?" She asked into a walkie talkie as Fred was messing around by swinging the fire hose around.

"Answer the walkie talkie, dammit!" Penny quietly hissed out into her own walkie talkie.

"Fredster here, Velms. And no need to snap Pen." Fred said before admiring his reflection in some metal machinery for a second.

"Well I wouldn't need to if you would've answered when V said your name." Penny grumbled quietly but Fred didn't quite hear her since it wasn't said directly into the walkie talkie.

"Shockingly, Daphne's been captured again." Velma stated sarcastically as she ignored what Penny had said.

Velma ended up saying more stuff but Penny tuned her out, figuring that she was just reminding Fred of what the plan was. Since she was ignoring the glasses wearing brunette that meant her attention was on Shaggy and Scooby. Said duo were hidden in a barrel, but the Great Dane of the pair had his tail sticking out of a hole in the barrels side. Which the Luna Ghost, who was standing near the barrel, noticed and blew flames on it from a lit match. Scooby, feeling the flames on his tail, blew their cover by yelling in pain as he burst out from the barrel, quickly blowing on his burning tail. Letting out a sigh of relief, only to get hit in the head by the falling barrel lid, which drew his attention to the ghost. Which ended in Scooby yelling in fear, causing Shaggy to also come up from inside the deceptively large barrel. Said dusty brown haired male was trying to either scold or talk to his dog as said dog tried to draw his attention to the ghost. Shaggy seemed to catch on quickly as a look of realization came to his face about why Scooby was looking behind him.

Now he did ask if there was a ghost behind him which his furry best friend confirmed but he still decided to turn around. Coming face to face with the ghost as the Luna Ghost held up his match as it ignited itself. Blowing fire towards the cowardly duo, luckily they had ducked back inside the barrel before the flames could even touch them. It was at this point that Penny activated the conveyor belt, causing a bucket of oil to spill on the floor. However it spilled right next to the barrel that Shaggy and Scooby were hiding in. Causing them to slip and slide as the human part of the duo, still partially in the barrel, tried to run with his canine companion on his shoulders. Once again the Luna Ghost held up his lit match and tried to blow fire at the cowardly duo. Luckily Shaggy had gotten his bearings despite the oil and got away before the flames could touch him or Scooby. As an end result though the scruffy haired male ended up running into Fred, who was attempting to stop the ghost, because of his inability to see inside the barrel. This knocked the blonde on his back as he tried to stop the now flying ghost by spraying the fire-hose into the air. Though all he did was succeed in completely drenching poor Penny and knocking her off balance.

"Ah! Dammit Fred!" Penny shouted as she tripped and fell, only being saved by the fact that her foot got tangled in a chain that was piled up on the platform.

"Oh!" Fred yelped as the chain that had stopped Penny's fall released a net that landed ontop of him as he stopped spraying water from the hose. "Sorry Penny." He apologized as he looked at said girl who was hanging from the chain upside down by her foot with her arms crossed.

"I know Fred... Now get me down! I think this chain may have dislocated my ankle when it broke my fall." Penny said looked at her ankle, happy that she was wearing pants instead of a skirt.

Fred quickly got himself out from underneath the net and helped Penny down from the train. Supporting her because walking on the ankle that was caught in the chain caused her too much pain. The ascot wearing male did feel bad since it was his fault this happened as he apologized again but penny just told him to stop apologizing. After all him apologizing wouldn't get them anywhere in this situation and won't do them any good at all. So with Fred's help they caught up with Velma who of course was concerned for the other girl but they had more urgent matters to attend to. Shaggy and Scooby were currently riding down the conveyor belt on a skateboard like it was some extreme skate park. This however ended when the Great Dane of the pair grabbed a hanging hook and swung them off the skateboard. Leaving it behind to get crushed by a part of the conveyor belt machinery as they swing right into the ghost and a captive Daphne. Which sent them all crashing into a tall tower of packaged action figures that landed ontop of them. It was at this point in time after turning off the conveyor belt that Fred, Velma, and penny approached the pile of fallen action figures. With Shaggy's legs, Scooby's butt, and part of the Luna Ghost poking out from the pile but there was no sign of Daphne anywhere in the pile. Just part of her purple dress but that blended in with the pink and red action figure packaging.

"Daphne? Are you ok?" Velma asked as Daphne's head popped out from under the action figures, right underneath Scooby's tail as Penny tried not to laugh.

"I'm so over this damsel in distress nonsense." Daphne said after pulling down her green scarf that had been used as a makeshift gag.

"Uh, where's Shagster?" Fred asked causing Shaggy to unbury himself from within the pile of packaged toys.

"Like, I'm right here, man." Shaggy revealed with a giddy grin on his face.

"Re too." Scooby said as he popped his head out from underneath the packaging next to Shaggy.

"Hey, Scoob, that was fun. Let's grab another skateboard and like do it again huh?" Shaggy suggested as Scooby agreed with a laugh.

"I think that's enough action for one night boys." Penny advised as this drew Shaggy and Scooby's attention to her.

"Like, Penny are you ok?" Shaggy asked as he noticed his sister was favoring her other foot, getting out of the pile to take her off of Fred.

"Yeah, just a little trap mishap." Penny reassured, tires screeching in the background as they all turned to the source.

As they looked to the source the Mystery Machine suddenly crashed through the factory doors. It then stopped but not before crashing through a small wall of barrels and toys that were being boxed for shipping. The person who stepped out of the driver's seat was none other than the woman, Pamela Anderson, who had hired Mystery Inc for the job. Following close behind were police officers, the press and their camera crews, and Fred's hoard of fangirls and singular fanboy. Said male happily signed the teenage girl's magazines of him and gave the one boy a compliment before giving Pamela a hug. Penny of course rolled her eyes as she leaned against her brother, watching as Fred talked to the press. Making it seem like he did all of the work, like the ego maniac he is, as the Luna ghost was soon unmasked. With everyone but Velma and Penny being shocked to see that the ghost was the janitor old man Smithers. Who was only doing his crimes as the Luna Ghost because he wanted revenge for the fact that Pamela wouldn't go on a date with him. There was more said but Penny didn't really pay attention to it as she was never good with these sorts of things. She only knew when it was over when Smithers was being taken away and everyone was leaving the factory.

"You know Pam. You could have avoided this if you just went on a date with the poor guy." Penny said as Shaggy helped her to the Mystery Machine which was outside yet again.

"Fred, I can't believe you took credit for my plan again." Velma said as her, Daphne, and Fred were also walking towards the van.

"Velma..." Fred trailed off as this was the hundredth time he was hearing this after a mystery.

"Some plan. The ghost pawed me for an hour and a half." Daphne complained as she ended up cutting off Fred before he could say more.

"Daph, it's not our fault you always get kidnapped." Fred said as it's not like they forced Daphne into this "damsel in distress" stereotype.

"I do not always get kidnapped. I can't believe you'd say that to me." Daphne argued, hurt that Fred thought that about her.

"C'mon guys, don't do this now." Penny said since they are sort of in public but she was promptly ignored.

"Oh please. You come with your own ransom note." Velma said as that just seemed to piss Daphne off more than she already was as she snatched the shorter girls glasses off her face.

"Hey, my glasses!" Velma exclaimed as she got on her knees and started feeling around on the ground.

"Who's helpless now?" Daphne said as she held Velma's glasses by part of it's rims whilst walking past Fred.

"I'm going to kill you, Daphne!" Velma exclaimed as she tried to choke who she thought was Daphne but it turned out be Fred.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" Fred exclaimed causing Velma to let go of his neck when it was revealed he wasn't Daphne. "Watch the ascot!" he snapped as his hands went up to make sure his ascot was ok.

"Hey, you guys, look. I know I'm just the dude who carries the bags, but it seems to me we all play an important part in this group. I mean, we're just like a big, delicious banana split." Shaggy said as Velma snatched her glasses back from Daphne as Fred and them listened to Shaggy. "Fred, you're the big banana. Daphne your the pastrami and bubble gum flavored ice cream. Velma's the sweet and sour mustard sauce drizzled ontop. And Penny, your the candied cherry that completes it all." He said in hopes of cheering up his sister and arguing friends as Scooby licked his lips and hummed hungrily in agreement. "That sounds pretty good. doesn't it?" Shaggy asked his faithful canine friend who agreed wholeheartedly.

"Aw, I had a feeling it would be a food analogy but it was sweet nonetheless Shaggy." Penny said with a small smile as Shaggy returned that smile.

"You know what, Shaggy? You've really put it in perspective for me." Velma said as she seemed to have calmed down as Fred nodded with a smile.

"Thanks." Shaggy said, happy that he helped his friends cheer up.

"I quit." Velma said, voice wavering with sadness as Fred looked at her in shock.

"No." Shaggy said since he wanted to cheer Velma up not make her quit.

"Velma, you can't be serious." Penny said as she started to lean against Shaggy again rather than on the side of the van as she was ignored yet again.

"No way. Y-You can't quit. I was going to quit in, like, two seconds. Now everyone is gonna think I copied off the smart girl." Daphne whined whilst stomping her foot like a two year old that wasn't getting what they wanted.

"Now, wait a minute, wait a minute." Fred said as it seemed like he was going to try and defuse the situation before it got worse. "Maybe I quit." He said as he looked at Daphne, Velma, and then Penny as he was hesitant to decide. "I do. Yeah, I quit." Fred decided, turing and heading towards the car he originally came in.

"I'm out of here." Velma said as she headed towards the car she came in too, bumping shoulders with Daphne in the process.

"Good riddance." Daphne said as she was the last of the three to head to her car.

"Wha? V? Freddy?" Penny asked whilst looking in the directions of the retreating forms of her best friend and her crush as they walk away.

"Don't- No. Don't go. Come on, you guys, don't do this. Please don't go." Shaggy called out to the three people who've been his friends for years but they ignored him.

"Ro I quit?" Scooby asked with a whimper as he looked at Shaggy and Penny.

"No, Scoob... friends don't quit." Shaggy said as he got Scooby, Penny, and then himself into the van.

"Scoob..." Penny trailed off, it wouldn't help the poor dog to know that things were already on the outs the moment those three started coming in separate cars.

"It looks like it's just you, Penny, and me for a while buddy ol' pal." Shaggy said as he started driving the Mystery Machine away.

"Rhat now, Rhaggy? Renny?" Scooby asked whilst looking out the van's back window as they drive away from the Wow-O Toys factory.

"I guess we'll all just do what we do best, Scoob." Shaggy assumed since he doesn't really know what the future holds for any of them.


Scooby Doo speech translations:
