The freaky farmer continued to walk twords them still chuckling. "What do we do?" Asked Jessica still clutching onto shaggys arm. "Like just follow our lead and by that i mean,Like run for your life!" Shaggy screamed as he ,Jessica,and scooby made tracks for the exit.
Meanwhile outside Dale and Mary were talking to the gang. "The short fella you saw me arguing with is our banker Andy Smith. He's been hassling us because he said its a waste to spend alot of our money on the festival because we dont charge a dime for admission and the games." "It's a shame that ghost showed up,we had finally convinced him to help us set up" Dale said.
"We've only been able to get a few tents up and some stations but with that ghost scareing off our help I dont think we will be able to have it this year." Mary said sadly.
"You know we'd be happy to help you set up the festival while were solving this mystery for you." Fred offered. "yeah we don't scare that easily. " Daphne added.
Then all of sudden they herd screaming and turned to see shaggy, Jessica, and scooby running out of the house as if it were on fire. Scooby was in the lead with shaggy gaining in second while pulling Jessica's arm as she came out of the house last.
"What happened?" Asked velma. "The freaky farmer is in the house!" Jessica yelled. "Where in the house?" Fred asked. "The kitchen!" Shaggy yelled as the others ran past him and into the house. When they got there the kitchen was destroyed. The furniture was smashed, the drawers were pulled open and trown into diffrent areas of the room and on the wall there was a message written in red on the wall," Here is where you thought I burned, But instead its here I shall return, one of you I shall get,unless you return my amulet. " fred read out loud.
"Like but I thought he destroyed the amulet and what does this mean by burned?" Shaggy asked. "Good qustion shaggy." Velma said. "Cute and smart, I like that." Jessica said as she leaned her head against shaggy again.
This did NOT sit well with daphne. She was not jealous of course or thats what she tried to tell herself. She just didn't like seeing anyone that close to her shaggy.
"I think it's time we start looking for clues I'll take shaggy and look around back." Daphne suddenly announced while grabbing shaggy's hand and dragging him out of the room and outside. "Uhh, sure then I'll take velma and investigate down town and see if we can figure out what this means and scooby.." fred said but scooby was already gone. As he looked for scooby he saw a small piece of paper stuck in between some of the throw drawrs and picked it up. As for scooby he knew something was about to happen but he wanted to make sure shaggy was ok even if it was just daphne so he followed them.
In the Herrison's backyard there were a few stands already set up and a couple of tents but daphne had gotten far away from the house so the herrisons couldn't here their conversation. "like whats wrong daph?" Shaggy asked. "Oh don't give me that you know exactly what's wrong!" Daphne shouted angrily. "Is this because Jessica called me cute and leaned on me?" Shaggy asked. Daphne stayed silent because if she said yes she would seem so shallow. "No!" She lied but just before shaggy could call her bluff she saw scooby and decided to change the subject. " what is scooby?" She asked makeing shaggy turn around and look at his best friend. "Ro rar ro relrous." Scooby stated. This made shaggy smirk and daphne blush like mad. "Am not." She mumbled crossing her arms. "Like come on daph your my girlfriend I would never cheat on you, you know that right?" Shaggy asked her. She looked up and said yes. "There we go and now to investigate this place for snacks." Shaggy said as they started walking. "I take it your wound hasn't bothered you?" Daphne asked
"Well its not too bad." Shaggy said. "So it is bothering you!" She said "like I never said that." He responded.
Meanwhile down town Fred and velma were in the towns library looking up facts about the Herrisons house and the legend of the freaky farmer. It said that he didnt just wander around the herrisons property untill he died ,he grew depressed untill he one day he poured gasoline all over the house and himself and set the place on fire but not before hiding the amulet some where on the property.
"Well thats diffrent from what Dale told us." Velma noticed. "Mabey he didn't know this I mean legends get changed alot." Freds suggested.
"Mabey, let me see that piece of paper you got from the kitchen." Fred did as he was told. "Interesting this is a library card and it's owners name is smudged out but it says they cheacked out a book about ghost storys and laser projection." Velma said. "We better get back to the other its starting to get dark" fred said as they made their way to the Mystery Machine.
"Shaggy I told you and scooby multiple times they can't serve food untill the festival and it's still 2 weeks away before they open." Daphne said trying to get shaggy and scooby to get away from one of the hot dog stands. "One more try daph." Shaggy assured her as he called into the empty stand,"Hello, can I get 3 dogs with extra katsup, mustard, croute and chocolate sauce." Then all of a sudden the three dogs came sliding down the counter and stopped at each of them.
"Like wow I knew that would work eventually, like thanks man keep the change." He said as he handed a five to a gloved green glowing hand. "You're welcome." Said a creepy voice makeing shaggy and scooby stop in mid-bite and turn twords their server. "Like I think I just lost my appetite here you can have it instead. " shaggy said before he threw it in the ghost's face!
"Rahhhhh!" The Ghost shouted as he started to wipe the hot dog off just in time to see them getting away! "You won't get away that easily!" The ghost shouted before he gave chase. "But like we sure can try!" Shaggy called over his shoulder as they raced down diffrent areas of the backyard. "Split up!" Daphne shouted as she went one way as shaggy and scooby went another only to glance behind them to the freaky farmer was after them.
"Like why is it that no mater where ever we go when we split up we still get chased?" Shaggy asked scooby.
"Rest rucky ri ress." Scooby said as they both ran into a open area of the herrisons garden behind the tents. But when the ghost finally caught up to them shaggy was dressed in a nice whie sutie and scooby was planting some flowers and was dressed as a farmer.
"Ah you must be the new assistant gardener right?" Shaggy said as he went up and shook the ghost hand. "Rahhhh!" The ghost roared. "Nice to meet you let me show you who you'll be working with." Shaggy said pulling the ghost by the hand over to where scooby was working. "Huh?" The ghost mumbled confused as they walked over to scooby. "This is jeff the best gardener I have." Shaggy said as scooby turned around. "Rho ris re?" Asked jeff a.k.a scooby. "He's the new assistant gardener." Shaggy explained. This caused jeff to gasp and stand up looking angry. "Rour replaceing re?" He asked sounding offended. "What no I could never replace you jeff!" Shaggy said trying to calm him down. "Ri rnow ro cant because ri quit!" Jeff said stomping away. "Jeff no come back!" Shaggy then turned to the ghost and said well since your alradey here contiue to plant those flowers while I go and try to calm jeff down."
The ghost then nodded and got down on his knees and started putting flowers into the ground then he suddenly realized what just happened. "Rahhhhhh!" He snarled as he threw the flower in his hand to the ground and went in search of shaggy and scooby.
