"Mr. Pimiento. Mr. Pimiento!" Shaggy called out to the leaving man. "Can we have two minutes of your time? We've got an act that's just terrific."
"Reah! Terrific!" Scooby added.
Brick rolled his eyes before grinning to the cowardly duo. "My friends, I've built my career on two deeply held beliefs," he then told them. "One, all talent deserves a chance to be seen. And two, juggling stinks."
Shaggy and Scooby gasped to that.
"So, what have you got for me?" Brick then asked them.
Shaggy and Scooby did a random dancing which made Brick smile nervously and back away from them.
"Terrible! That was just-" Shaggy frowned.
They heard some screaming which made Scooby jumped into Shaggy's arms.
"I don't know what that was, but I'm running away from it." Shaggy said to Scooby.
"Re too!" Scooby replied as he ran after Shaggy as creepy organ music was heard.
Brick and the others came to the monitor room to see what was going on. "Is that him?" he then asked.
They soon heard some laughter to see a screen of Chrissy screaming as a monster appeared to be in front of her.
"Yeah! It's the Phantom!" A man told Brick.
"The Phantom?" Daphne asked.
"We should let the Phantom eat her," Anne suggested. "It would serve her right."
"What are they doing there...?" KT asked as he took a look.
"Look!" Brianna pointed out.
The Phantom was running in the hallway, laughing.
"Now he's there!" Trent then said.
"Velma, you watch the monitors. You can tell me where he is," Fred said as he got ready to leave. "Daphne, you come with-"
"Yes!" Daphne replied before following him.
"We better follow them to see if they need any help." Henry suggested.
"Good idea." Alexandra replied as she latched onto her boyfriend's arm.
"Come here, Alexandra, I won't let anyone hurt you." Henry said.
"Like anyone would even dare to try." Alexandra smirked.
"Let's go!" Henry told her.
Everyone, except for Velma, ran off to catch the phantom.
"Jessie, you should probably stay here." Sky told her little sister.
"But I wanna help." Jessie pouted.
"I know, but it might be too dangerous." Sky replied.
"Pretty please, I wanna help," Jessie pouted. "I'll stay close to you."
"Well... I don't know, Jessie..." Sky sighed before she gave up. "Well, all right, but stay close to me, okay?"
"Thank you!" Jessie smiled to her sister.
"That means you guys as well, all right?" Henry said as he looked at his youngest siblings.
"We will, Henry." Mimi replied.
"We promise." Nancy added.
"All right, I guess we've been through worse before we transferred to Cartoon Network City." Henry replied.
They then went to help Fred and Daphne to capture the phantom. Shaggy and Scooby were running away, only for them to scream as the Phantom was right in front of them.
"Which way?" Fred asked as he ran.
"Turn left at the end of the hall," Velma instructed. "Second door on your left."
"Are you getting all this on camera?" Brick asked.
"Yeah, this is great stuff." KT smiled to him.
"Fantastic," Brick replied. "Should we use it for promos or leak it to YouTube?"
"Both." KT suggested.
"Hmm..." Velma glanced at the two men.
Trent opened the door and tried to the lights on, but he couldn't so he used his phone as a source of light.
"Creepy." Nazz commented.
"It sure is." Daphne agreed.
Someone soon pushed a shelf filled with axes on it down on them.
"Look out!" Daphne cried out before they ran out of the way.
"Are you okay?" Fred asked.
Daphne nodded as they ran out of the room.
"Velma, which way?" Brianna asked.
"I don't know, I can't see which way he went." Velma replied.
"Oh, that's helpful." Nazz sighed in dismay.
"When I get my hands on that phantom, he's gonna wish he hadn't messed with Alexandra Cabot!" Alexandra threatened.
"We'll find him, Alex, I promise." Henry comforted.
"I hope so." Alexandra replied.
"Maybe a song would cheer everyone up?" Ella suggested.
"Uh, maybe later, Ella?" Sky suggested. "Now's not a good time."
"Okay." Ella smiled to that.
"She a singer?" Alexandra asked.
"You have no idea." Sky muttered even though she really did love Ella since they were best friends.
Shaggy and Scooby went into the dressing room to hide.
"He'll never think to look in here, right?" Shaggy said.
"Right..." Scooby shivered before smelling something. "I smell lemons!"
"Yeah, I smell lemons too," Shaggy added before sniffing with him and glancing over. "Do you smell lemons?"
The Phantom was then shown which made him scream. Shaggy and Scooby then ran out of the room.
"There! He's heading North!" Velma pointed out.
"North? Which way is North?" Fred asked.
"Go left! No right, then left!" Velma replied.
"Make up your mind!" Alexandra complained.
They all then crashed into each other after the confusion.
"I'm sorry." Daphne said.
"No, I'm sorry." Fred replied.
"Are they gonna kiss now?" Alexandra complained.
Fred and Daphne blushed to that.
"No way." Fred said.
"Why would you think that?" Daphne added.
"My mistake." Alexandra muttered.
"Go, he's on the stairs!" Velma told the others.
The Phantom laughed and seemed to disappear right on the screen.
"What...?" Velma blinked before facing the two men by her. "Did you see that? ...Maybe he really is a ghost."
Soon enough, everyone met up.
"How could he disappear?" Brianna asked.
"There must be a rational explation." Velma replied.
"Yeah, he's a ghost." Shaggy stated.
"A ghost who smells like lemons?" Anne deadpanned. "That sounds kinda weird."
"I'm with Anne, that is a bit strange, and trust me, I know ghosts." Johnny replied.
"And it's not weird to have a ghost who doesn't smell like lemons?" Shaggy asked.
"We have to get to the bottom of this." Fred replied.
The door soon opened to show Dewey and his assistant, and he pointed sharply to the cowardly Great Dane. "Dog!"
"Dog? Where?" Scooby asked, looking around.
"He's talking about you, Scoob." Brianna told Scooby.
"Get that germ sack out of here right now!" Dewey began to freak out as he tried to clean up around Scooby. "Did he leave footprints? I think I see footprints. He didn't touch any walls, did he? Oh, my gosh. Now I'll have to sanitize the entire building. Good thing I brought bleach. Out, I said. Out, out, out."
"Come on, guys." Fred told the others.
"I want this floor buffed and I wanted it polished!" Dewey demanded.
Everyone then went outside.
"Okay, I'll check us into the hotel and do some internet research." Velma told the others.
"Alexandra, Stanley, and I can come with you." Henry suggested.
"And me too." Sky then added.
"That's fine with me," Velma replied. "Shaggy and Scooby, you take Flip, Nancy, Mimi, Scooter, and Jessie to the library on State Street to find out what you can on the opera house's history."
"How are we the choice for the library research?" Shaggy asked.
"Jessie, you remember to listen to what Shaggy says, okay?" Sky reminded her sister.
"Okay." Jessie smiled.
"Don't worry; I'll watch the little tykes for you guys." Shaggy replied.
"Be good, I know you will." Sky smiled as she hugged her little sister.
"Of course, Sky!" Jessie smiled back.
"So that leaves Bri, Trent, Suzie, Anne, Alan, Tom, Nazz, and Ella with me and Daphne to search in the building." Fred then said.
"Sounds cool." Trent smiled.
Daphne soon squealed. "I'm going with Fred~"
"Excited much?" Anne teased Daphne.
Daphne blushed as she and Anne followed the others to the building.
