Taylor found her friends planning a trap in the woods. When she arrived it became clear she was intended to act as the bait. She shrugged she didn't mind. All she and Sammie had to do was lead the dragon to a hidden hole in the ground. From their Rachel would blast the dragon sending him into the hole where the others would bind him up. However, Sammie objected to the whole thing. Taylor stifled a laugh as the stubborn dog sat down and crossed her front paws in defiance of her role in the plan.
"Sammie I have Scooby Snacks with frosting on them," Jackie teased waving the treats in her friend's face.
"Not going to happen Jackie"
"How about I give you two now and two later?"
"Okay, whatever," Sammie huffed catching the treats mid-air.
So, now that Sammie was officially on board with the very risky plan all they had to do was execute it hoping it would work.
...
The adults searched with en a ten-mile radius of the skate park. Where had the kids gone to? Were they alright? Were they hurt? Shaggy especially had a lot to worry about. He had not joined the search party because it had been agreed upon that he would stay with Christina and Noel. Draculaura had kindly offered to watch the triplets for as long as they needed, so, as far as Shaggy knew they were racing around the backyard playing tag or Hide and Seek as they often would when staying with their aunt. Clawd and Clawdeen had volunteered to be leaders of the search party and calmly reassured Shaggy.
Shaggy looked up from his phone to see Christina passed out in the hospital bed completely oblivious to the fact that her oldest children were missing. She was calm and happy; Shaggy intended for it to stay that away, after all, there was no need to rile up Christina she would just panic and worry relentlessly. He didn't want her to be upset
The dragon was pacing in front of the empty cell. Where had Taylor gone to? How did she get out? Just as he was about to light the whole place on fire a shrill ear-piercing whistle broke the empty silence catching the monsters attention. It looked around and locked its fearsome eyes on Taylor who stood tall and proud ready to take the beast down.
"Over here," she teased before she and Sammie made a break for it.
The dragon followed soon after its angry roars could be heard up to a mile away. As Taylor and Sammie got closer to the trap they could hear the dragon going on them, his gigantic tail knocking over trees as he rampaged down the path.
"Get ready Rachel," Taylor screamed as she sped past her friends hiding place.
Purple flames engulfed Rachel's hands as she sprang from hiding. That dragon was going down. As the beast stomped past she sent a powerful bolt of purple fire which hit the dragon on its back right leg causing the dragon to stop before failing helplessly and finally falling into the hole leaving the wooden leg behind. The others bound the dragon with ropes and a comically sized dog cone courtesy of Taylor.
"Now let's see who this dragon really is," Tyler yelled beating Daisy to the unmasking, however, since he couldn't lift the mask by himself Daisy helped after all.
"Tony," Taylor growled upon seeing the werecat's face.
"Oh, hello Taylor it's nice to see you," Tony greeted nervously.
"Dude, I oughta pound you into next year for kidnaping my girlfriend," Tyler fumed while cracking his knuckles.
"STOP" Daisy cried before Tyler could swing a punch.
"Why?"
"Let's have our parent's handle it,"
"Okay, fine,"
"To the skate park then?" Rachel asked wiggling her fingers.
"Yep,"
The immense relief the adults felt when finally seeing the kids was evident in their bone-crushing hugs followed by the half angry shouts of "Where the heck have you been?" and "You are in so much trouble,". Silently the adults essorted the teens back to the hospital (Except for Tony who they dropped off at the police station).
"I'm very disappionted in you kids," Shaggy sighed when he saw the twins and Sammie.
"We're sorry Dad,: They mumbled.
"We'll talk about this later," Shaggy said opening the door to the hospital room "Now, come and se your mother and sister while I go speak to the staff about going home,"
Christina smiled in relef when the kids entered the room (Shaggy had told her because he couldn't take it anymore).
"Taylor come meet your sister"
"Oh, she's so sweet," Taylor cooed.
'Would you like to hold her?"
"Can I?"
"Of course,"
"Mom, we're really, really sorry," Shaggy Jr sighed.
"We'll tallk about it later okay?"
"Okay,"
