Don't consider this canon and jsut a fun little one-off. I did really enjoy Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics and thanks to reruns on Boomerang; I believe I have seen every Scooby series released (bitter that Boomerang no longer does that).
It was time once again for the ultimate test of determination in the realm of sports; the Laff-A-Lympics. This would be the first episode in which the students at Grimwood would be joining their coaches Shaggy and Scooby with vacant spots on their team the Scooby Doobies. All but the youngest of them Tanis were on the team and excited to be joining their favourite gym coaches for this event.
Right now at the start of the show all the Scooby Doobies were in their backstage area watching the beginning of the show on the monitor.
"Such disgrace to the name of good sportsmanship... Don't worry we will teach you young girls and boy how to work around the cheating of the Really Rottens." the Scooby Doobies member and superhero Blue Falcon said as the Grimwood Girls explained about for years the Calloway Cadets having cheated to win their annual volleyball game.
They looked and saw that one of the two main announces Mildew Wolf was at the stand to interview Lincoln's family to hear their thoughts about Lincoln's first Laff-A-Lympics event later on.
"Yeah; it turns Stinkcoln gets to be the first in our family to be in a big televised sporting event. Not like he doesn't even like sports and I have been spending most of my time training..." Lynn said with a little bit of jealousy in her voice only to be elbowed by Luna.
"We are off course proud of our Lincoln; we know that he felt left out in our house not only being the only boy but not having earned his own trophy. We are rooting for you Lincoln!" Rita said. Then there was Lisa jumping to get in the face of Mildew as the older sisters tried to get her back down.
"I must know... What created you humanoid animals including those on that Yogi Yahooey teams..." LIsa demanded as Mildew motioned for the camera crew to cut to the next segment.
"Wow... Lincoln's family sure seem something..." Taffy of the Teen Angels said as most of the Scooby Doobies didn't know what to say.
"Not even the half of it..." muttered Elsa as the Grimwood Girls were glaring at the screen.
"Now come on now... I don't think Lincoln needs this..." Shaggy said trying to calm his students down but said boy was sitting down with his knees in his arm.
"You alright there new young pal?" asked Tinker who seemed to be a lot like Shaggy.
"Only boy in a house of girls, only human boy in a school filled with ghoul girls and now only normal boy in a sports contest filled with superheroes, animals and a talking car which I now realised that my life has gotten to the point where I didn't think twice about that." Lincoln said looking toward Speed Buggy. "But anyway... Only useless normal holding these team out..." Lincoln said only to find Sibella and Phantasma each holding an arm to help him up while giving him a bit of a glare.
"Neither Sibella or me will tolerate anyone dissing you like calling you useless and you are no exception." Phantasma said with the other Grimwood girls not being happy with him either.
"Come on Lincoln; don't put yourself down! You will surprise yourself with what you can bring to our team!" Shaggy told Lincoln encouragingly with Scooby nodding with the other teammates giving their own encouraging speeches.
"We can help teach you; I have plenty to pass on in the art of kung-fu!" Hong Kong Phooey said showing his kung-fu poses.
"I can easily sense the heart of a true sportsman and you definitely have one!" Blue Falcon said as Lincoln smiled still unsure but more encouraged.
Shaggy then began directing them to the fields for the first competitors to get in places and the other teammates to cheer them on. "Say Blue Falcon, Dynomutt, Captain Caveman and Hong Kong Phooey since you are all superheroes... While you are all competing in the Laff-A-Lympics; who is protecting your cities?" Lincoln decided to ask.
It was time for the final event with the Yogi Yahooies in the lead, the Scooby Doobies in second and the Really Rottens in third. It was basically a capture the flag event with three big hills in cliffs. Each hill will have one of the team flags with one member of the team to guard the flag and one member of the opposing team seeking to claim the flag. Whoever captured the flag first wins the event for the team, which ever team had their flag stolen gets last place and the other team gets second.
Lincoln was at the starting line at the Yogi Yahooies hill along with Really Rottens team captain Mumbly and the Yogi Yahooies guard was the towering Grape Ape which made Lincoln gulp. Fred Flintstone the special on and off judge for the Laff-A-Lympics said that there would be a bonus of 50 points that he can award at his leisure.
"So Mumbly... Am I the only who noticed that the judge isn't wearing any pants?" Lincoln asked but then there was the sound to start the event.
Mumbly looked surprised as Lincoln was running at great speed and Grape Ape went to block his path but Lincoln went around him and dodged his attempts to pick him up. He was starting to tire Grape Ape up.
"Incredible; what could be the secret of Lincoln's great speed and agility?" asked the awestruck announcer's voice but the answer was quite simple:
Growing up in a family with 10 siblings.
Lincoln managed to running up the final stretch to claim the flag when Mumbly decided to stop playing around taking out a remote control. Setting the coordinates for the cliffs he then fired special rockets and Grape Ape didn't notice the small bound hitting his toe until he felt the great pain.
Mumbly snickered before he found himself covered by falling rocks.
Lincoln was inches away from claiming the flag and couldn't believe that he was going to win for his team in such a big televised event! However he heard the rockets and then looked down and saw Mumbly covered by the rocks and there was Grape Ape crying out in pain.
He looked between that and the flag and sighed facing the camera "This is going to cast doubt if I show any genetics with my win at all costs sister Lynn but... This is the right thing to do..."
He then ran down and tried to push the boulder from Grape Ape's toe but an 11 year old normal boy trying to move a boulder that was big enough to hurt the toe of a gorilla that towered over any gorilla worked as well as you would think it would. Thinking of something he decided to try his luck at rescuing Mumbly and managed to pull him out and the Really Rottens captain had the good graces to look grateful at him.
However it turned to panic when Lincoln picked up the remote saying "so this is where the rockets came from..." He managed to figure out quickly how to set it to aim for the boulder which was on Grape Ape's toe and a rocket broke it apart with Lincoln and Mumbly jumping back from it.
Grape Ape found himself healing and noticed Lincoln picked him up and smiled at him, "Grape Ape!" he said looking grateful and Lincoln not speaking Grape Ape talk decided to talk to him.
"It's nothing, no need to thank me but I am sure that I cost my team a chance at winning..." Lincoln said but then saw Grape Ape now aiming for the Really Rottens hill. "What are you doing..." Lincoln asked as he then yelled as Grape Ape then threw him right at the hill.
Right at the Scooby Doobies hill the Really Rottens cheating ways had Daisy Mayhem close to claiming the flag from the hill's guard Captain Caveman.
At the Really Rottens HIll there was Daisy Mayhem snickering on top of the giant tower constructed by the Rottens to better guard their flag while Huckleberry Hound of the Yogi Yahooeys and Scooby were both struggling to climb up. "No way we are losing this; who says that cheaters never prosper..." laughed Daisy but then there was Lincoln flying close to the top of the tower and she ducked with Lincoln managing to snatch the flag.
Lincoln landed on the ground with Scooby helping him up and licking him with his tongue.
The teams were gathered together as Snagglepuss the other announcer said that the judges have ruled to allow Lincoln this victory for this event despite technically not getting the flag he was meant to. "Plus for one of the most inspirational acts of sports valor, self-sacrifice, decency and good sportsmanship that I have ever seen in my time as a Laff-A-Lympics judge it was my upmost pleasure to award Lincoln the 50 points bonus!" Fred said and the Scooby Doobies with this victory already claimed the lead but this made it more apparent.
The Scooby Doobies cheered with the Loud Family cheering for their only male child; Lincoln found himself kissed by both his girlfriends as he was hoisted above the team's shoulders.
At the winner's podium Lincoln was on the 1st place podium with his medal still not over the effects of Grape Ape's toss with Mildew coming up to him. "So Lincoln what do you say about having won the hearts of everyone here and watching at home and undoubtedly having become an inspiration and a role model?" Mildew asked as Lincoln was steadying himself from being dizzy.
He ended up saying "I will be happy to tell you Mr Wolf... As soon as my brain and body have finished rebooting..."
Look forward to a full Lincoln going to Grimwoods story soon.
