Later on, it was soon time to go back home.
Vinny pouted to her wand until Cindy took it and decided to fix it with her own powers and handed it back. "Wow! Thanks, kid!" she then beamed.
"Sure." Cindy smiled.
"Hey, Vinny?" Flim-Flam spoke up as he walked over.
"Yeah?" Vinny replied.
"Well, I was... Erm... Wondering if you'd want to go out with me sometime?" Flim-Flam invited.
"Go out?" Vinny blushed. "You mean like on a date...?"
"Uh... Yeah?" Flim-Flam replied.
Vincent seemed to turn dramatically from that.
"Well... Sure, Flim-Flam..." Vinny blushed to her best friend. "Um... You were always my best friend. I just hope that it's not weird."
"I don't think so." Flim-Flam blushed back to her.
"Well... I suppose we could try it out." Vinny said bashfully.
"Do you have to go back to the Academy now?" Flim-Flam gave a small pout.
"Yes, Vinny must go back to school," Vincent grinned as he came between the two like an overprotective male guardian. "Flim-Flam, it was nice seeing you again though."
"Oh, sure thing, Vincent." Flim-Flam smiled.
"Call me." Vinny told him.
"I sure will." Flim-Flam then blushed.
Vincent glanced between the two. Vinny soon took out her spell phone to get a ride back to school.
"It was really nice seeing you again, Vinny," Daphne smiled. "You liking your school?"
"Eh, it's okay." Vinny smiled back. "I miss having adventures with you, Brianna, Scooby, Flim-Flam, and Scrappy though."
"Those were some good times, weren't they?" Brianna smiled.
"They sure were." Vinny smiled back.
The girls soon shared a hug before letting go.
"You kept my pin!" Vinny beamed once she saw the Witch's Star on Daphne's shirt.
"It was one of the best gifts I've ever received." Daphne smiled to the young witchling.
"I'm glad that you like it, and I hope to see you guys again sometime really soon." Vinny smiled back.
Brianna and Daphne smiled as they shared a group hug with Vinny. The van was soon driving up to the jet.
"See, Daph? You got this leadership thing in the bag!" Fred smiled to Daphne. "All you needed was a little encouragement. A cheeeeering session!"
"You're not about to whip out the pom-poms, are you?" Daphne smirked.
"I mean it," Fred told her. "I'm sorry I never saw it before, Daph, but you're the engine that makes this whole team run."
"Aww..." Daphne smiled. "I may be the engine, but you'll always be the driver."
Fred and Daphne smiled to each other.
"You think Captain Rogers will let me fly the plane?" Fred asked.
"As long as you stay away from the emergency brake." Daphne smirked to that.
"Velma!" Fred grumbled.
"So, after all that...?" Flim-Flam asked Velma as they walked off together.
"Indeed," Velma said. "I guess from everything I saw, there might be such a thing as magic and ghosts after all."
"About dang time!" Jo commented as she put her hands in her pockets.
"I know, right?" Cindy added in agreement.
"So now you realize that other worlds are real like other creatures," June said to Velma. "You see where your skepticism gets you? Nowhere!"
"You tell her, June!" Dee Dee cheered.
"...I just did, Dee?" June replied.
Dee Dee just looked confused and didn't know how to respond to that.
"Never mind, let's just get ready to go home," June said. "Uh, I'm sure Dexter missed you."
"Oh, boy, won't he be so happy to see me again?" Dee Dee smiled as she soon got on her tiptoes and danced towards the plane.
"I'm just glad that Velma's gonna be more open about the supernatural world now," June said to Mike. "I mean, after that adventure with KISS, I'd believe anything if I were her."
"Even if we weren't there for that." Mike reminded.
"Mike, I must be getting back home," Abbey said to the tomboy. "Dad might be getting worried."
"Thanks for all your help, Abbey." Mike smiled.
"Come back to Monster High sometime?" Abbey asked.
"I'll see what I can do, but I'll be sure to visit and go with you guys somewhere," Mike smiled. "Draculaura's told me about her cousin Drak."
"Ah, yes, Dracula's nephew," Abbey nodded. "He is a... How you say in your language... Very cute?"
"I'll bet that he is." Mike chuckled to that.
"Goodbye, Mike, this was fun." Abbey smiled.
"It was, Abbey," Mike smiled back. "I'm glad I got to see you. See ya later on."
Abbey soon went off to the mountains to continue her family visit until she would have to go back to school.
"Come on, June, let's get back home." Mike told her best friend.
"Yeah, sounds good." June smiled.
"Hey, Butler!" Jo soon called out.
"Look, if this is about me yelling at you earlier, I just want to say that I care about you and don't want you to get hurt." Cindy said to her.
"No, no, it's not that." Jo said.
"Oh, okay then," Cindy replied before looking a little relaxed. "What's up?"
"Look, I'm sorry if I treated you guys differently." Jo soon said.
"Did... You just apologize?" Cindy blinked in surprise.
"Did I stutter?" Jo glared slightly. "It's idiotic comments like that that make me feel unsure about making my own decisions."
"Oh, no, I was just surprised is all," Cindy defended. "What made you change your mind?"
"Let's just say that someone helped me." Jo replied.
"Um... When you were knocked out for a while... Did you go somewhere?" Cindy asked.
"I don't know if you know her like the Nelsons, but her name's Botan." Jo said.
"Oh, yeah," Cindy said. "I haven't met her, but I know who you're talking about. Abby told me that Duncan used to have a crush on Botan."
"She showed me that I shouldn't treat my friends the way I've been treating you all lately," Jo explained. "And she was right."
"You really shouldn't," Cindy said, crossing her arms. "Jo, I don't know what your life was like before we met, but you should treat us with our own levels of respect, even if Eddy and Duncan get on your nerves a lot. It usually seems like the only people you care about are Justine or Autumn."
"Oh, like you all don't treat anyone else like that." Jo rolled her eyes slightly.
"Okay, I do admit that I do that sometimes, but I've felt bad about it and remembered to apologize for it later." Cindy replied.
"Well, this is gonna be different," Jo reassured. "But I feel bad about it, and I'll be sure to apologize in the meantime. I'm not gonna treat my friends like that. I'll tell you one thing, my friends are my friends and my enemies are my enemies."
"That's more like it." Cindy smiled in approval.
"Eh, fair enough," Jo shrugged. "It'll take some time, I guess."
"Just take it one step at a time, and whatever you do, don't be an Eva." Cindy advised.
"Trust me, I intend to not do that." Jo replied.
"Come on, we better join the others," Cindy said. "We have a long ride home. Say, didn't Mystery Inc already travel to the Himalayas together?"
"...Yeah, I think you're right," Jo replied. "Against that creep Alphonse LaFleur and his lady friend, Coco LaBouche or whatever her name was... With the help of those... Uh... Mew Mew Power wannabes, The Protectors." she then added, covering up her identity as one of The Protectors, even if Dakota's cousin Courtney became an honorary one after that adventure.
"Man, I'd like to meet the Protectors someday," Cindy soon smiled like a fan girl. "It would be an honor to meet them."
Jo soon walked off to go with Cindy onto the jet plane to go back home since the adventure was over.
Shaggy took out a scary looking mask before sharing a laugh with Vincent, Scooby, and Vinny.
"I'm just glad Velma didn't say anything like the 13 Ghosts with Vincent, Shaggy, and Scooby-Doo were just hallucinations or something," Trent said to Brianna. "I think that would've really pissed some people off."
"Tell me about it." Brianna muttered slightly.
"But I don't understand," Eddy spoke up. "What grabbed me, Ed, Double D, Jo, Fred, and Velma?"
"What do you mean? We already established this is all real and Velma was wrong, end of story." Brianna said to him.
"Actually, it was the ski lift that Eddy and I got our clothes caught onto by accident." Double D clarified.
"And you ruined it," Brianna sighed. "We could've had a happy ending with Velma being wrong and saying this was all true, but you just had to say that."
"Hey, now, go easy on Sockhead," Eddy said. "At least she didn't hear it."
"Still, I can't believe that the chest was in Shaggy's luggage the entire time." Brianna commented.
"Convenient!" Jo scoffed as that seemed like lazy writing.
Velma soon began to open the chest which made everyone panic.
"Okay, I'm taking this before you ruin this story any further," Vinny said, taking the chest away. "Let's just admit that ghosts, goblins, and monsters are real, and have a happy, supernatural ending, so we don't piss of anyone who might think otherwise, especially those who admire my Uncle Vincent van Ghoul."
"Ugh... Fine." Velma soon groaned.
Flim-Flam then smirked to her.
"Thank you!" Jo said to Vinny.
"You're welcome." Vinny smiled innocently.
A horn soon honked before there came a car with a girl with frizzy brown hair, pointed ears, fangs, and lime-green eyes soon pulled up.
"There's my ride," Vinny said as she walked off. "See ya guys later."
"Call me!" Flim-Flam called out.
"Don't worry, I will." Vinny promised.
"Ready to go?" Vinny's friend asked.
"Yeah, Veralupe, let's go." Vinny smiled.
The two soon got into the car and rode off to The Magic Academy.
"I'll call you later, Uncle Vince!" Vinny called out.
"Behave yourself!" Vincent told her.
"Sure thing!" Vinny replied.
Everyone waved goodbye to Vinny who waved back to her friends and crush.
"Oh, hey! Shaggy, here's that case you asked for!" Flim-Flam smiled as he brought out a box with numerous bottles in it.
Shaggy smiled before taking one out.
"Lotsa Luck Joy Juice!" Daphne smiled. "Aww... Flim-Flam, I remember this stuff."
Brianna and Daphne kissed Flim-Flam on both of his cheeks and he smiled bashfully to the two of them.
"Told you it could melt anything." Flim-Flam smiled to Fred.
"Like, are ya sure you don't wanna join us on our Trans-Haunt-Lantic Flight?" Shaggy asked Flim-Flam before laughing with Vincent, making a spooky pun.
"Nah. Somebody's gotta stick around and tell the tourists the tale of Asmodeus: The Demon King who almost ruled the world!" Flim-Flam replied.
"And make a tiny profit of the merchandise, I suspect?" Velma guessed.
"Don't worry, Vince," Flim-Flam smiled, putting his hand on the wizard's shoulder. "I'll leave old Mortifer's name out of it."
"Thank you, Flim-Flam," Vincent smiled back. "I'll see you when I'm in town for my coven's next meeting."
Everyone soon waved to Flim-Flam and said goodbye as they went into the back of the jet plane.
"And for ghoulness sake's, Flim-Flam, stay out of trouble!" Vincent told him on the way to the others.
"No promises, Vinnie!" Flim-Flam chuckled.
"That's my boy." Vincent smirked as he waved out of amusement once it was time to go.
The plane took off as the teen boy waved them goodbye.
"Bye!" Flim-Flam called out before giving a small smile. "So long, sports fans."
Fred looked out the window, looking upset.
"Everything okay?" Daphne asked him.
"Yeah..." Fred sighed. "Just thinking about our impending retirement."
"Well, as my last official act as leader, I'm calling it off." Daphne smiled to him.
"Huh?" Fred replied.
"This is what we do best, Freddy," Daphne smiled. "I'm not ready to give it up just because we made one tiny mistake, and by the way, I'm still not convinced Old Farmer Morgan was totally innocent."
"I AGREE!" Velma glared as she soon stood up behind them. "First off, the guy's boot prints were all over the ghost's secret lair! Second-"
"Imitation yak jerky?" Shaggy offered as now he was dressed as a female flight attendant. "Imitation yak jerky anyone?"
"Hang on a second, Shaggy. If you're back here, who's flying the plane?" Trent asked until he soon went to the cockpit to see Scooby dressed as a pilot, driving the plane.
"Scooby-Dooby-Doo!" Scooby giggled.
As Scooby was flying everyone home, Botan was watching them with a smile.
"Well, it looks like she's gonna keep that promise after all." Botan smiled to herself.
Jo glanced out the window. Botan waved as she flew by on her oar. Jo soon looked around and waved back before Botan flew off into the sky, until the next adventure.
The End
