Author's note
There are some things you need to know before you read this one-shot.
Sarah never dated Topper.
Ward and Rafe are not criminals. They are good people. Ward didn't kill John B's father. Rafe never got involved with Barry. Ward cares about Rafe and Wheezie just as much as he cares about Sarah.
John B's mother divorced his father and moved to Colorado when he was three years old. His father never searched for the Royal Merchant. His father is alive, and he lives with him.
JJ was raised by a single mother instead of an abusive father. His father died in a car accident when his mother was pregnant with him.
As I said in the summary, the characters live in Los Angeles instead of the Outer Banks, and there are no Pogues or Kooks. Therefore, there is no class divide, and everyone gets along.
Kie and Sarah never had a falling out.
John B has the same van he has in the show.
None of the characters surf or own boats.
This one-shot takes place in 2019.

Pope's full name is unknown. I chose the name Pope Nicholas Heyward.
Kiara's full name is unknown. I chose the name Kiara Marie Carrera.

John Booker "John B" Routledge, Sarah Cameron, Pope Heyward, Kiara "Kie" Carrera, Lindsay Parker, and JJ Maybank, collectively known as Mystery Incorporated, were a group of amateur detectives from Los Angeles, California. They were born and raised there. They drove around in John B's VW van and solved mysteries and unmasked fake monsters. They were 17 years old and in their senior year of high school.
John B was the leader of Mystery Incorporated and built traps for the villains. He knew how to build traps because he was in the Boy Scouts when he was a kid and one of the things the scouts had to learn how to do in order to earn the wilderness survival merit badge was build traps.
Sarah, Pope, Kie, and Lindsay were the brains of the operation. They deciphered the clues and figured out what the villains' motives were.
JJ was a loveable cowardly goofball. He served as bait for John B's traps.
JJ smoked weed. He loved food. He had a big appetite and ate pretty much anything.
John B was dating Sarah. Pope was dating Kie. Lindsay was dating JJ.

JJ stood next to the door, smoking a joint.
JJ pulled the joint out of his mouth.
JJ put out the joint by dropping it and stepping on it.
JJ walked into the restaurant, taking a seat next to Lindsay.
"Hey, guys. What's up?" JJ asked.
"John B was talking to one of the waiters last night. He said his mother saw a monster in her house and ran off. He also said that she's staying with him and his wife because she's too scared to go back there. John B wants us to check it out." Kie said.
"There's no fucking way I'm going to a house someone saw a monster in." JJ said.
JJ was tall with fair skin, blue eyes, and short, straight blond hair. He was clean-shaven. His body was slender but muscular. He was wearing a green long-sleeved shirt, dark blue denim jeans, and green low-top Adidas sneakers with white laces.
"What if I promised to buy you lunch for the next two weeks?" John B asked.
"Ugh," JJ groaned, hating how easy it was for people to bribe him with food. "Fine."
After ordering and paying for their food, the group got in John B's van.
John B parked in front of the house the waiter told him about. It was a two-story wooden house. It was painted white and had a red tiled roof.
John B, Sarah, Pope, Kie, Lindsay, and JJ entered the house. John B, Sarah, and Pope walked down a hallway. Kie, Lindsay, and JJ walked down a different hallway. Kie stopped in front of a door. She opened the door, and Lindsay and JJ followed her inside.
Kie, Lindsay, and JJ were in someone's bedroom. Kie and Lindsay walked over to the desk and began searching for clues.
Suddenly, Kie, Lindsay, and JJ heard piano music playing. They exchanged a confused look and made their way to the foyer, where they ran into John B, Sarah, and Pope.
"Where the hell is that music coming from?" Pope asked. His eyes darted around the foyer, trying to figure out where the music was coming from.
JJ looked like he wanted to leave the house.
The group turned to see a large creature with a bald head, green skin, pointed ears, red pupils, black sclera, fangs, and clawed hands and feet. Its clothing was torn. It appeared to be male.
They ran in different directions. Sarah was going to follow John B, but Kie grabbed her arm and pulled her down a hallway.
The creature followed them. It let out an angry shriek. They ran in opposite directions.
Sarah opened a door and got wrapped up in ropes. She screamed and began to struggle. She didn't notice the ropes got tighter until she could barely move.
"Sarah!" She heard John B yell. She turned her head and saw him running through the door. He untied her.
"Did I mess up the trap?" Sarah asked.
John B smiled and kissed Sarah's forehead. "There's a second one. Don't worry about it."
Sarah blushed. Getting caught in one of John B's traps was embarrassing. That had happened to her, Kie, and Lindsay several times.
John B led Sarah down a hallway, and they heard JJ cheering. They entered a room and saw that the creature was wrapped up in ropes.
Lindsay took the mask off, revealing a clean-shaven man with short, straight light brown hair and blue eyes. "This is my next door neighbour, Alfred Lewis. He's a janitor at John Adams Middle School. There are gold coins hidden under the floorboards of this house. He dressed up in this costume and scared the owner away so she wouldn't know that he was looking for them."
"And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!" Alfred yelled.
John B pulled out his cell phone and called the police, and Alfred was arrested and fired.
