Shaggy takes out his suitcase and opens it up to reveal more identical green shirts. Scooby watches out the window, staring at an owl.
"Like, maybe I should dress for dinner," said Shaggy. "Eh, Scoob?"
An owl hoots.
"Like me, that's who."
The owl hoots with Scooby hooting back.
"Whatcha looking at Uncle Scooby?" Scrappy says, then sees the owl. "Neat, an owl."
Scooby started imitating the owl's movements, from grooming its feathers to giving out a huge stare with it big eyes. It also spins it head around. Scooby attempts to spin his head but got stuck. Scrappy giggles.
"Like, quit bothering the wildlife, buddy."
Shaggy changes his shirt to a brighter and clean one.
"Well, how do I look?" Shaggy asked. "Am I gonna turn a few heads or what?"
Scooby twists out of control and finally restored himself to normal.
"True rhat," Scooby responded.
Shaggy looks himself in a mirror
"Boy, do I need a trim." He says. He picks up a pair of small scissors and make a few cuts. "Like, much better."
"You're a man of simple needs, Shaggy." Says Flim Flam. "I've always admired that about you."
Suddenly, another zombie-ghost appears, coming from Shaggy's mirror! The ghost looks like a soldier from the war.
"GET AWAYYYYY..."
The boys shivered in fear once again.
"Like, w-who's that?" Shaggy asks.
"I-I ron't know!" Says Scooby.
"GET AWAY!"
"How about YOU get away before I SPLAT you?" Scrappy says.
"Not a good time, Scrappy!" Flim Flam says as he grabs Scrappy and he and the boys rush out of the room in terror.
Fred was trying out his old ascot.
"Nah." He says, shaking his head. Suddenly, Scooby and Shaggy barged into the room and jump on him. Fred was having a hard time carrying the boys and they all fell on Simone who was walking down the hall. Flim Flam and Scrappy watches in the hallway with worry on their faces. Simone was furious.
"Get this beast off of me!" Simone shouted.
"We're terribly sorry!" Fred apologized. Velma and Daphne come out to investigate the noise.
"Rorry," Scooby apologized, trying to make it up to Simone. Unfortunately, Simone is still angry.
"That's quite enough!"
Velma and Daphne help Simone get up.
"Freddie," said Daphne. "What on earth are you doing?"
"Uh-" Fred spoke, unsure what just happened. "Scooby and Shaggy-"
"Saw another ghost!" Shaggy exclaimed.
Shaggy carefully opened the door.
"In here."
Everyone enters. There seems to be nothing unusual in this room and no sign of the ghost anywhere.
"I don't see anything." Daphne says.
"Like, in the mirror," Shaggy spoke in fear. "It's some Civil War guy."
"Well, there's nothing in the mirror now, guys," Fred pointed out.
Daphne and Velma take a look around the mirror, from top to bottom.
"There's nothing behind the mirror either," said Velma. She takes a deeper look. "Wait a minute."
Velma moves up the mirror and sees something.
"There's something under this dust."
She blows on it and Scooby reacts to the dust by sneezing on the mirror, causing it to spin and smack Velma. Her glasses are crooked and dusty.
"Rexcuse me."
"That's okay, Scooby," said Velma.
She reaches into her pocket to dig for her cleaning cloth, but she doesn't seem to find it.
"Hmm, must've lost my eyeglass cleaning cloth."
Scooby takes her glasses and cleans them with his tail. He gives them back to her.
"Oh, thanks Scooby."
"That's my Uncle Scooby, always putting others before himself." Says Scrappy.
"Hey look!" Velma says.
She reads what the plaque on the mirror has displayed.
"PROPERTY OF COLONEL JACKSON T. PETTIGREW 8TH LOUISIANA. Hmm, that sounds like a Civil War regiment," said Velma.
"There were Confederate barracks on this island," Simone explained.
"Hey!" Freako's voice shouts as he and the others come into the room through the wall. "Did any of you see the ghost of a civil war soldier go by here?"
"Too late, he's already gone." Flim Flam tells them.
Freako glares at Meeko.
"I TOLD you not to stop for gumbo!"
"Sorry, I was hungry." Meeko apologizes.
"Maybe you guys saw something after all." Velma says to Shaggy and Scooby.
"Like, ghost pirates!" Shaggy exclaimed. "Ghost soldiers! What's next?"
"Dinner!" Lena shouted. Lena appears at the threshold. "From all the screaming up here, I'd say you two must be starving."
Shaggy and Scooby are happy to hear this, but then the lights go out.
"Now what?" Says Freako.
"Did the power go out?" Asks Daphne as Shaggy and Scooby huddle in fear.
"I don't know." Says Lena.
They step out into the hall.
"Let's feel around for a light switch." Says Fred. They split up and feel for a light switch. A door near Daphne slowly opens with a creak. She looks nervously at it. There's a low growling sound coming from the room.
"Uh…H-hello…?" She says. Suddenly, two pairs of glowing red eyes appear, followed by a snarl. Daphne gasps in fear as a silhouetted creature with sharp teeth jumps out and menaces toward Daphne, who screams and runs away. Velma is feeling for a light switch. Suddenly, a door opens and a hand comes out and grabs her.
"Jinkies!" She shouts as she gets free and backs away. Another red eyed figure slowly steps out. This one was taller and it groaned menacingly at Velma as it walks toward her with its arms outstretched. Velma turns and runs. Fred was trying to use the camera's flash light to look for a light switch. Just then a bat swoops around him. He tries to shoo it away.
"Guess Simone has a bat problem."
The bat flies a few feet in front of Fred and there's a sudden puff of smoke. When the smoke clears, another red eyed figure is where the bat used to be and it hisses at Fred, baring long fangs at him. Fred screams and runs off. Flim Flam had lost track of Scrappy, so now he had to find a light switch AND his puppy.
"Scrappy? Scrappy Doo, where are you?" He calls out. He then hears small footsteps from straight ahead. He squints his eyes to try and see who it is, but all he sees a silhouetted figure just a little shorter than him. Was it Scrappy? He is about to ask when the figure opens red eyes and utters a ghastly moan. Definitely NOT Scrappy. Flim Flam gasps, steps back in fear as the figure slowly menaces toward him then turns and runs.
Fred, Daphne, Velma and Flim Flam run screaming down the hall from opposite sides until they slam into each other. They fall to the floor, then get up again.
"What are YOU running from?" They ask each other at the same time. "THAT!" They all point behind the other, then turn around and back away in fear as the figures had caught up with them and were stalking toward them with roars, moans and hisses. Shaggy, Scooby, Scrappy, Simone and Lena run to the others after hearing the screaming, but stop when they see the figures. Shaggy and Scooby are huddled in fear. Scrappy is about to attack the figures, but Scooby stops him. Just then, another eerie wind blows through the hall and another red eyed figure appears, this one was no doubt, another ghost. It emits an ghostly wail, which frightens everyone even more. The other figures don't seem to mind. The Boo Brothers arrive.
"Grab that ghost!" Freako says before he, Shrieko and Meeko fly at the floating figure, who turns its head all the way around, inhales and blows a powerful gust of wind at the Boo Brothers, which blows them back down the hall.
"Foolish ones!" The floating figure speaks in a female voice. "This island is not for mortals! Leave this place or you are DOOMED!" The figures laughs an insane-sounding, high-pitched loud giggle. This causes Shaggy and Scooby to stop shaking and Scrappy to calm down a bit.
"Like, Scoob! Did you hear that laugh?"
"Reah!"
Daphne, Fred, Velma and Flim Flam shake and moan in fear. The other figures snarl at them, one of the shorter ones howls.
"Wait…I recognize that howl!" Shaggy says.
"You don't think…" Scrappy says. Scrappy than sees something on the wall. It was a light switch. He runs and jumps up to and flips it. The lights go on. The figures eyes were no longer glowing and they were revealed to be five young monster girls.
"Hey! Who turned on the lights?" The ghost girl asks.
Shaggy, Scooby and Scrappy runs up to them. "Sibella, Winnie, Elsa, Phantasma, Tanis! Like, is that you?" Shaggy says in a happy tone. The monster girls look over to the source of the voice and smile too.
"Shaggy? Scooby? Scrappy?" Says Tanis with a smile. The girls run up to meet them. Fred, Daphne, Velma and Flim Flam blink a couple of times, having gotten over their fear and look over at the odd scene. Shaggy and Scooby looked HAPPY to see these monsters, and, just like with the Boo Brothers, they WEREN'T scared of them. After a while, they figured THEY were friendly too and walk uneasily over to the sight.
"Like, it's been SO long." Says Shaggy.
"Sure has, coach." Elsa says.
"It's fang-tastic to see you three again!" Says Sibella.
"It's great seeing you girls again too!" Says Scrappy.
"What a howl!" Says Winnie. "We didn't expect to see YOU guys here."
"Re ridn't rexpect to see YOU." Says Scooby.
"Like, what are YOU doing here in Louisiana?" Asks Shaggy. "Are you here by yourselves?
"No." Says Sibella. "Miss Grimwood is in New Orleans, doing some late night shopping. We're here for a special field trip, to practice our scaring techniques. We learned Miss Lenoir's house was the perfect haunting site."
"We're also here on vacation." Says Elsa.
"But we didn't know YOU would be three of her guests." Pipes in Phantasma.
"We just came up with the plan to frighten away anyone who came down this hall tonight." Adds Winnie.
"Like, no real harm done. And you really scared the gang." Says Shaggy. The girls look back at Fred, Daphne, Velma and Flim Flam, who wave nervously at them.
"Oh, are they friends of yours…?" Says Sibella, starting to feel guilty.
"Oh, yeah." Shaggy says, then addresses the gang. "Gang, I'd like you to meet Sibella, Winnie, Elsa Frankenteen, Phantasma and Tanis."
"Hello." Says Sibella.
"Yo." Says Winnie.
"Hi." Says Elsa.
"Hi there." Says Phantasma.
"Hello." Says Tanis.
"Girls." Says Shaggy. "This is Fred, Daphne, Velma and Flim Flam."
"Uh… Nice to meet you." Daphne says, still a little shaken.
"But how do YOU three know them?" Fred asks Shaggy, Scooby and Scrappy.
"Probably something ELSE they didn't tell us about that coaching job they took." Velma says.
"Cut him some slack, Velma." Says Daphne. "He probably didn't think we'd believe him."
Shaggy looks down nervously, then looks up at the gang.
"Like, it's true. We met the girls when it turned out I'd be working as a coach for Miss Grimwood's Finishing School for Girls. More like for Ghouls." Shaggy laughs before continuing. "At first, we WERE terrified of them, but we, like, got to know them better and we became friends."
"GOOD friends." Says Scrappy.
"Re rest." Adds Scooby.
Flim Flam, who had calmed down, smiles and walks up to the girls.
"Well, if the guys think you gals are okay," He says. "then you're good in my book too. Nice to meet'cha!"
"You too, Flim Flam." Says Winnie.
Fred, Daphne and Velma smile.
"You know what? Any friends of Shaggy and Scooby are friends of ours." Says Velma.
"Yeah." Freako says as he, Shrieko and Meeko finally come back down the hall. They must have been blown pretty far away. "Any pals of Shaggy and Scooby are pals of the Boo Brothers."
"We've heard about you guys." Phantasma says. "You're pretty darn good ghost hunters."
"Even if you ARE clumsy…" Elsa deadpans. Then she turns to the gang. 'Sorry for the scare…"
"Don't worry about it, nobody got hurt." Says Fred. "And if you ask me, I'd say your technique is definitely improving."
The girls smile with pride at this. Simone and Lena walks up.
"Now that that's over with, perhaps you girls would like to join us for dinner?"
"Really?" Says Sibella. "You don't mind?"
"The more the merrier." She says. "Don't you agree, Lena?"
"Of course." Says Lena.
"Thank you, Miss Lenoir!" Says Tanis.
"Anytime." She says. "And please, call me Simone."
Everyone gathered at the dining room where they see a table filled to delicious entrees and side dishes Lena prepared. A pot full of sweet gumbo, fluffy biscuits, crawfish, and potato casserole.
"Your dining room is beautiful, Simone." Says Daphne.
"Thank you, Daphne." Simone says. "But I'm afraid your…dogs will have to eat in the kitchen."
"Rogs? Where?"
"I think she means us, Uncle Scooby."
"Like, come on, old buddy." Shaggy says. "We'll chow down in the kitchen."
"Let's go too, Scrappy." Says Flim Flam.
"Alright." Says Scrappy.
"And I suggest YOU stay on your best behavior, young lady." Simone says to Winnie.
"No problem, Simone." Responds the young werewolf.
Fred seems to enjoy all the tasty things that Lena made and he's very impressed.
"Mm, this gumbo is delicious." He says. "And these biscuits, light as a feather."
But that makes Daphne jealous. A white cat jumps onto Simone's lap.
"Where's Beau?" Daphne asked.
"He usually has dinner in his room in the carriage house," Simone explained.
"Beau?" Asks Elsa. "Oh, that gardener guy?"
"How do you—" Fred starts to ask.
"Miss Grimwood says one should scope out a place before haunting it." Explains Phantasma.
"I brought him some food," said Lena. "But he wasn't there."
"Figures," said Fred, eating a biscuit.
Down in the kitchen, more of Simone's cats are eating in their bowls. Scooby growls angrily and attempts to go after them once again.
"Rats!"
"Oh no, not again!" Complains Scrappy.
Shaggy struggles to keep Scooby from chasing any more cats, but that didn't work.
"Scooby doo!" Shaggy says as he chases after him.
"Uncle Scooby!" Shouts Scrappy at the same time as Shaggy as he and Flim Flam also give chase.
"Exactly, how long has Beau been working here, Miss Lenoir?" Velma asked.
"Several months," said Simone. "And it's Simone, Velma."
"Well, I think this guy is pretty suspicious," said Fred, eating the gumbo.
"What do you mean, Fred?" Asks Meeko.
"He had excellent references-"
The conversation was interrupted when Shaggy, Scooby, Flim Flam and Scrappy enter the dining room with some cat food on their heads.
"Like, I don't think the kitchen was a good idea," said Shaggy. "You know, cats."
"Rats!" Scooby growls when he sees Simone holding the white cat. The cat growls back at him in defense.
Shaggy tries to calm Scooby down by pulling his collar.
"Scooby, knock It off!" Flim Flam says.
"This is quite enough!" Simone shouted. "The dogs will have to eat outside."
"Routside? Ruh-uh!"
"Like, there's a dead guy out there," Shaggy pointed out, the Grimwood girls react in confusion, curiosity and concern.
"May I make a suggestion?" Lena asked. She got up from her chair to explain the idea.
Later, Shaggy, Scooby, Flim Flam and Scrappy eat inside the Mystery Machine with the extra food that Lena provided in case the guest call for seconds. The boys are enjoying themselves eating the biscuits and crawfish.
"Like, this is a lot quieter, buddy." Says Shaggy. "And Lena even made us a special dish to go."
"Gee, that was sure nice of her." Says Scrappy.
"You said it, Scrappy old pal." Says Flim Flam.
"Nothing like a good old fashioned craw fish boil." Says Shaggy.
"Raw rish." Says Scooby.
"These craw fish sure are tasty." Shaggy adds.
Scooby even sneaks the crawfish meat out of Shaggy's hand.
"Like, not much meat on this crawdad."
Scooby then stuffs himself with half a batch of crawfish in his mouth. After he ate all the meat, he spits out the shells like a machine gun.
"Nice one!" Says Flim Flam, laughing.
"Here buddy, have a biscut." Shaggy offers.
"Ranks." Says Scooby, who eats up the whole plate. Shaggy tries to eat some craw fish from his hand, only to see that they vanished. He then sees Scrappy and Flim Flam eating them.
"Gee, thanks Shaggy." Says Scrappy.
"Something tells me you guys are getting the best of this meal," said Shaggy.
There's a knock on the van door.
"Like, who's there?"
"It's us, Shaggy. May we come in?" Sibella's voice sounds from outside.
"Like, sure thing, girls."
Shaggy opens the door, and the girls step inside, the van tipping for a moment due to Elsa being heavier than the others.
"Did you come here to keep us company?" Asks Scrappy.
"Yes. But also—" Sibella starts to say before Winnie interrupts.
"Oh, craw fish!" She starts digging in, tossing shells every which way. Shaggy, Scooby and Scrappy are confused by this.
"Like, I thought you girls only ate rotten and gross things." Shaggy says.
"Reah."
"We still do." Says Sibella. "But we trained ourselves to also eat normal foods. It was necessary to disguise ourselves and blend into a place we intended to haunt until it was time for the scaring."
"Like, that makes sense, I guess."
Winnie stops eating.
"Believe me, it wasn't easy." She says. "But we eventually were able to keep it all down and found it was actually pretty good."
"Since then, we've wanted to try other foods, like these craw fish." Says Elsa, eating one.
"Well, there's plenty." Says Flim Flam. "Help yourselves."
Suddenly, they hear cats meowing outside. They find them hanging on the tree, just staring at them eating, probably to spite Scooby.
"Ruh-Roh." Scooby growls. "Rats!"
Scrappy facepalms.
"I'm ashamed to call myself a dog, right now…." He says.
"Those meanies!" Says Tanis.
"Like, it's hard to enjoy a meal with a bunch of eyes staring at you."
Shaggy decides to drive the van someplace where the cats won't bother them.
"Like, sit tight guys." He says. "I'll find us a peaceful place to eat.
But they saw a lot more cats from the roof of the van. Shaggy starts the van and drives away, getting the cats off the roof. Scooby raspberries at them and they drive away in the distance.
The gang were still eating dinner and they never heard the van driving away.
