Scooby Doo: A Gruesome Night For Doo!

(The scene is a moonlit night. It is a city street. The camera zooms in on a tiny van travelling with its headlights on. It is the Mystery Machine. Shaggy is driving, Scooby is sitting at the other end)

Shaggy: "It sure was nice of Freddy to lend us the van for the night, right, Scoob?"

Scooby: "Reah!"

Shaggy: "Like, I can hardly wait to get to Bill and Joe's Pizza Palace. It's "All you can eat for $1" night! (laughs) Imagine this, Scooby. A 20 decker, with everything on it."

Scooby: (his massive tongue hangs out then licks his lips) "Reah!, Reah!"

Shaggy: "We could have, like, the leaning tower of Pizza." (leans forward and elbows Scooby) "Get it?" (laughs, leans back again)

Scooby: "Reah." (laughs)

Shaggy: "Then we hit the Ice Cream Machine, for unlimited trips! (laughs) Man, it's like, the grooviest deal ever!" (laughs)

Scooby: "Reah." (laughs)

Shaggy: "Yeah!" (turns back from Scooby to the road, notices the traffic light) "Oh-oh."

(Camera zoom in on a traffic light with a red light)

Shaggy: (slams on the brakes) "A red light. Looks like we'll have to wait a little while longer Scoob."

Scooby: "Ro-kay"

(Scooby's eyes dart all round him. A strange warbling noise is heard. Scooby's ears prick. He looks to the left and right.)

Scooby: "Hmm."

(Nothing. Scooby faces the camera and shrugs. Suddenly behind him, The Creepy Coupe sidles up alongside. Scooby turns and looks in horror at the ghoulish duo The Gruesome Twosome who aren't bothered at all by the alarmed dog.)

Scooby: (frantically taps Shaggy's shoulder whilst pointing, gibbering incoherently)

Shaggy: (without taking his eyes off the traffic light) "Like, not now, Scoob. We gotta wait till the light turns green."

Scooby: (tremors, teeth chattering)

(As the two cars continue to sit side by side, the Dragon pops his head out of the belfry where he sits. He extends his long neck all the way to Scooby's window for a closer look. He growls, frighting Scooby even more)

Shaggy: (mistaking the growl for Scooby's tummy) "Like, wow, you must be starving, Scoob."

Scooby: (Too scared to think what Shaggy is saying as the Dragon pushes his face close to Scooby's) "Ro!"

Shaggy: "No? Oh, Come on Scoob, We only had a triple decker sandwich for lunch and that's barely a snack. Don't worry, we'll soon be there. Just a few more seconds." (Looks hopefully at the traffic light)

(The Dragon continues to look menacingly at Scooby, growling softly)

Scooby: "Reee-llll-pp!" (In a blind panic Scooby puts his front paws over Shaggy's face who in turn slams his foot on the gas. Shaggy and Scooby both wail as the Mystery Machine lurches forward)

Shaggy: "Woah! Woah! Woah! Like, Heeeellllllp!" (The Mystery Machine continues to lurch and rock from side to side until it does a full 180 turn nearly crashing on its side in the middle of the road)

(Scooby and Shaggy reposition themselves properly)

Shaggy: (holds his head) "Ohh." (Looks annoyed at Scooby) "Scooby-Doo, What's wrong with you?"

Scooby: (tremors, teeth chattering, gibbering incoherently, pointing in front.) "Ron-sters! Rag-on!"

Shaggy: "Monsters? Dragon? (laughs) Oh, boy. Scoob, you got the wildest imagination." (faces the road)

(Meanwhile the traffic light turns green and The Creepy Coupe drives off, The Gruesome Twosome shift into Dragon Power right at the Mystery Machine)

(Shaggy and Scooby look in horror at the approaching vehicle and are terrified)

Shaggy: "Zoinks!"

(They both automatically duck as The Creepy Coupe swoops overhead. Scooby looks fearing behind him out his window before again slamming his paw on the gas)

Scooby: "Reeellllllp!"

Shaggy: "Scooby, no!"

(The Mystery Machine lurches back down the road, off screen where presently a crash is heard. The Creepy Coupe continues on its flight with the Dragon roaring threateningly. The car goes past the moon before coming straight at the camera. The Dragon opens its mouth for a final time and roars as the camera goes down its black throat)
