It was soon time for Velma to start explaining everything.
"It's very simple," Velma told the others. "Professor Pembrooke has been behind this all along."
"She did a good job!" Shaggy yelped as he carried Scooby. "Scoob and I have been scared all along!"
"What else is new?" Cherry deadpanned. "Here's another secret... Ouran High School? It has a host club!" she then mocked them before shushing like that was supposed to be a secret no one knew about.
"Anyways, continue, Velma." Atticus said.
"The loch hatch we found board her vessel, was actually a secret passageway." Velma continued.
"It led to her homemade monster submarine she kept docked underneath her boat." Fred added.
"Wow." Patch said.
"She simply climbed down the hatch and peddled off into the loch." Velma continued.
"That way, she could be free to do her scaring while we all thought she was on the boat." Daphne added.
"But it wasn't Shannon or Little Dipper she was after," Velma continued. "Or any of us... It was really Sir Ian's attention she wanted."
"Me?" Sir Ian asked. "What do I have anything to do with this?"
"She was using fake monsters to get you to believe in a real one." Hallie remembered.
"Exactly," Little Dipper nodded. "She wanted you to become a Nessie true believer yourself."
"But she couldn't count on Nessie making an appearance." Velma added.
"I'm a wee shy 'cuz all ye humans just want to see me for money." Nessie pouted.
"Well, you don't have to worry about that here in Blake Castle." Little Dipper smiled.
"Aw, ye are so understandin', wee one." Nessie smiled back as she tilted slightly.
Little Dipper hummed with a smile as he hugged the monster with his front paws.
"And as for those two?" Darla asked, pointing to the Scottish brothers.
"Professor Pembrooke hired Angus and Colin to help her." Daphne told the blonde girl.
"Your sons were trying to scare away the athletes, so they could win the Games!" Velma told Lachaln.
"I have a feeling these two jokers didn't care about the games." Atticus said.
"We don't," Angus admitted. "We just like a good practical joke!"
"That monster thing's the greatest joke we ever pulled!" Colin added with a smile.
"Then beating you two in the Games will be easy." Atticus smirked.
Colin and Angus slightly glared. Atticus just smirked to them innocently.
"I think that might get them to take the Games seriously." Darla said.
"They're no match for Atticus though." Cherry smirked herself.
"So, are you a believer now?" Nessie smirked at Sir Ian.
"I-I-I..." Sir Ian stammered nervously toward the actual Loch Ness Monster. "I suppose I have no choice now... Ye won't eat me, will ye?"
"No." Nessie shook her head.
"Well, I suppose I can let ye go off easy then..." Sir Ian smiled nervously.
"That's good, but please, no flash photography," Nessie replied before looking to Annie and Hallie. "Thank ye both for helpin' me... Ye remind me of a human I was close with before she met her husband and moved to London."
"What was her name?" Annie asked.
"She told me to call her 'Muffy'," Nessie smiled. "She was such a lovely wee lass, oh, I could tell so many stories about our adventures together before she met Charles James."
This caused Annie, Hallie, and Domino to gasp.
"Ye two remind me so much of her," Nessie sighed. "I haven't seen her in so long. Oh, well, I just hope she's happy wherever she is now."
Annie frowned as she felt bad since she knew that her grandmother died when she was very young and of course, Hallie didn't really know about it since she had lived with their father all her life until now.
"Um, I'm afraid she's up there." Domino said while pointing up to the sky.
"Up... There...?" Nessie replied.
"Nessie, I'm so sorry," Annie told the Loch Ness Monster. "Your human friend died about ten years ago."
"Oh, my..." Nessie frowned.
"I'm very sorry, Nessie..." Annie replied.
"We're her granddaughters." Hallie added.
"So ye are..." Nessie sighed. "Ye seem to have her golden heart and soul... I'm sorry for yer loss, she was a very wonderful woman."
The next day soon came. Little Dipper wore his own hat and kilt as he walked beside Shannon to introduce the Games with her.
"Aw, ye look so handsome, Little Dipper~" Shannon cooed to the puppy.
Little Dipper smiled to her.
"So, you really like it here, huh?" Patch asked his nephew. "Because, if you really want, you could come back to Headquarters, and we could find you a home."
"I'm happy here." Little Dipper said.
Patch gave a small smile. "If you insist."
"I do, Uncle Patch," Little Dipper smiled back. "Shannon is great company, and she says I am too. I'll miss you guys a lot back home, but this is my home now."
"Well, okay." Patch smiled back.
Little Dipper soon hugged his uncle and he hugged him back.
"Little Dipper!" Shannon gently called.
"Well, that's me," Little Dipper told his uncle. "I'll be back." He then went to join Shannon on stage.
Patch was happy for his nephew.
'Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Blake Castle, and to the Loch Ness Highland Games!' Shannon began to announce as Little Dipper sat beside her. 'And here to help us kick off the event, is a very special member of the Blake Clan, please welcome Miss Daphne Blake.'
Daphne soon came over to the mic. Little Dipper smiled up at her as the audience applauded Daphne.
'Let the games begin!' Daphne announced.
The audience cheered and soon enough, the games began.
"Nice skirt." Cherry teased Atticus.
"It's a kilt." Atticus glared.
Cherry just laughed at him.
"Drell!" Atticus whined like he was tattling on her. "Cherry is making fun of my kilt!"
"Cherry, stop making fun of Atticus or I'll shoot you into Pinkie Pie's mind." Drell threatened.
"No, please, don't!" Cherry begged.
Drell smirked in victory.
"Okay, people, I'm from America, but please, do go easy on me!" Atticus smiled. "My ego is very sensitive."
Some of the people laughed at him as he entered the Games.
"Ready to lose, laddie?" A Scottish man smirked at Atticus.
"That's not what your mother says." Atticus smirked back.
"Oh, it's on." The Scottish man smirked back.
Atticus smirked back with a steady nod.
The Games soon began and everyone took their positions.
"Whoo!" Cherry quietly cheered. "That's my best friend!"
"Oh, come on," Drell said. "Louder!"
"No..." Cherry looked away. "This is as loud as my voice gets, and-"
Drell soon put ice cubes in her pants.
"WAH!" Cherry shrieked. "That's my! B-B-B-Best F-F-Friend!"
Darla and Patch soon added in their cheers. A Scottish man grabbed onto a black ball to spin around and around long enough until letting go to make it fly into a distance, and where the distance was long.
"Hmm... Not bad, sir, not bad at all." Atticus replied.
"Beat that, Yankee." The man smirked to him.
"Okay, but you asked for it." Atticus smirked back.
The Scottish man laughed before slapping him on the back which made Drell wince for that man. Atticus soon stuck his tongue out as he took his turn.
"Whoa, that lad must take extra protein shakes; his body felt like it was as hard as steel." The Scottish man waved his hand out of pain.
"That's my boy." Drell smirked proudly.
"YAH!" Atticus yelled out before he soon let go to send the ball flying in the air as women were dancing on stage for the Games, and where the ball he sent flying soon landed next to the Loch.
Nessie poked her head out before shrugging and going back in the lake. Atticus smiled as everyone applauded him as he won that one. The Scottish man was jaw-dropped and so were the Haggart brothers. There was soon the cabaret competition. Atticus drank from his water bottle as he patiently waited for his turn.
"I wonder if The Buddies would be interested to know about this?" Patch wondered to himself.
The Scottish man from before was doing his turn in Cabaret. Atticus smiled in support as he watched that. The man struggled at first, but soon threw the cabaret and cheered for himself. Atticus smirked to the Haggart brothers as it would be one of their turns next. A band soon played on the field and it even included Shaggy and Scooby.
"Like, I never thought that being a drum major could be so major!" Shaggy chuckled to Scooby.
"Nice one, Shaggy." Scrappy laughed.
"Not bad, guys!" Atticus called out to the Haggart brothers before he drank his water until it would be his time.
The Haggart brothers had taken their turns and where their Cabaret's landed further than the Scottish man's. Atticus finished his water and then went to take his turn. Atticus's Cabaret seemed to be much bigger than the others and where he saw the Scottish Man smirk.
"Oh, you think this is funny?" Atticus scoffed at him. "You think you're a comedian, huh?!"
"I might have made a request to Shannon to make yours bigger which means heavier." The Scottish Man smirked.
"Hmm..." Atticus smirked back. "Okay then."
"Feel free to give up." The Scottish man taunted, thinking he would beat Atticus this time.
Atticus soon bent down and decided to give a few grunts for show. The Scottish man smirked before everyone else gasped that Atticus could lift up his competition. Atticus smiled and soon took his turn in the competition, and where soon, his carabet landed further than the others. Atticus smiled as he won that one as well.
"This Atticus fellow is quite impressive." Shannon smiled as she pet Little Dipper as they watched this.
"He sure is," Little Dipper added. "It's like he's Hercules."
Mo, who was in bed at home with a cold, smiled as she watched this on TV in the living room with the dogs. "Little Dipper, you mean Hunkules~," She then gushed about her boyfriend. "Ooh, I'd love to make some sweet music-" she then interrupted herself with a heavy and nasty cough.
"Here, Mo, have some soup." Gloriosa said as she gave her a bowl of soup.
"Thanks, Glori." Mo smiled.
"No problem." Gloriosa smiled back.
Mo coughed and soon sat up to eat the warm and delicious soup.
"Poor Mo," Angel pouted. "I wish there was someway I could help."
"Aww..." Mo smiled and pet her dog. "Thanks, girl."
"How about we keep watching the Highland Games?" Angel suggested.
"I wish I could be there..." Mo sighed as she blew her nose and continued to eat the chicken soup. "I'm glad I have you guys though."
Angel, Scamp, Colette, Danielle, and Annette smiled back to her.
Back at the Highland Games, it seemed like Atticus would the clear winner.
"Drell, I'm getting tired..." Atticus groaned before sitting down. "Can I lie down now?"
"How can you be getting tired?" Drell asked.
"I've been working so hard..." Atticus told him.
"Do you think Superboy ever took a break?" Drell replied.
"Drell, please... Just ten minutes..." Atticus begged before soon saw that Drell wasn't showing pity. "Alright, then can I at least have a drink of water?" He then asked.
"All right... Go get some water." Drell replied.
Atticus groaned as he soon walked off.
"Don't you think you're working him too hard?" Michelle asked the warlock.
"Eh, you wouldn't understand," Drell shrugged. "This is man's work."
Cherry's eyes widened and she backed up nervously. Atticus soon got himself a drink of water which helped from the courses he did. Michelle was soon yelling at Drell which actually scared him and Cherry quietly snickered since he was being humiliated for a change.
"Okay, okay, after this, I'll go easy!" Drell told Michelle.
The blonde woman smirked in victory. Atticus soon drank his water as he got ready for the last event before the winner this year would be announced.
"So, what's the last event?" Patch asked Drell.
"Hmm..." Drell hummed as he took out a notepad. "The last event should be a tug-of-war."
"Oh, Atticus so has this in the bag." Patch smirked.
"I know he does." Drell smirked back.
Atticus soon came over to a rope and where the ten competitors that were also competing were on the other end. Shannon gasped as she felt like Atticus couldn't possibly win that, but everyone knew that he could.
"Give 'em heck, Atticus!" Little Dipper cheered from Shannon's lap.
Atticus soon surprised everyone by picking up his end of the rope with just his first finger and thumb with his right hand while the other competitors picked up their end of the rope with both hands. Cherry soon read a book to pass the time since she knew what would happen.
"Um, ready, set, and pull!" Shannon announced.
Atticus stood there simply before he grabbed the rope and tugged at it which made the Scottish men get up and try to pull back, and where they had trouble with pulling him down. Atticus yawned as he simply pulled on the rope with no trouble at all, pulling over all ten of the other competitors. Atticus tapped his foot as he whistled while waiting for someone to tell him he had won so he could stop pulling on the competitors.
"New world order!" Drell smiled as he took pictures with his camera. "New world order!"
Shannon soon shook off her shock before going to the mic. Little Dipper then got off of his lap.
"And the winner is Atticus Fudo from America!" Shannon announced to everyone.
Everyone soon cheered for Atticus. Atticus smiled as he waved to the ground and grinned politely. After the ceremony of his winning, everyone soon left.
