Interview Mrs. Lindale.
This is all made up by me :D
I do not own Scooby or the rest of the Gang though :(
P.S. I am glad you like the story so far Gothicthundra, thanks for the reviews :)
The Mystery Machine was soon driving down St. Lock Rd. it didn't take them long to find the house, as the Picture of Mrs. Lindale had been taken out the front of her home.
Once Fred parked the Mystery Machine, the gang got out, and headed for the house.
"Now all we have to do, is hope she will talk to us", said Fred, as he was about to knock on the door.
"Like, why wouldn't she want to talk to us for", asked Shaggy.
"Rhere Rhy", asked Scooby also.
"Because she probably thinks we were the ones who stole her jewels", replied Velma.
Just then Fred knocked on the door. It didn't take long before the door was open by Mrs. Lindale.
"Oh, it's you kids", she said just about to shut the door on them.
"Wait Mrs. Lindale, we are sorry you nearly got sent to Jail, but we have to ask you some questions, its very important, if you let us come in, I promise to explain every thing to you", said Fred, in an attempt to stop Mrs. Lindale from closing the door on them.
"And why should I listen to what you have to say, for all I know, you might be here to steal the rest of my jewels." Was the harsh reply Fred got.
"Mrs. Lindale I can promise you that we have never seen you before, and that the people you saw that looked like us, were imposters", said Daphne trying to smooth things over.
"If we were the Mystery-Inc you saw before, and had your jewels do you think we would come back here, knowing you might call the police?" Asked Velma.
"Well, I suppose not."
"The reason we are here is because someone is ruining our reputation, and we were hoping to question you one the Mystery-Inc you meet, so that we might get some clues as to who they are." Explained Fred.
"Well, you guys are a lot more polite then the group I met before." Said Mrs. Lindale. "I think you guys are who you say you are, come on in, and I will tell you every thing about the imposters that I can."
"Thank you, this is very nice of you, especially since what has happen to you", said Daphne.
They followed Mrs. Lindale to her lounge room, and waited for her to be seated before they started to ask her questions.
"So, what is it I can tell you that would be of help?" Mrs. Lindale asked them.
"Well for starters, their dog they had, did he ever speak", asked Velma.
"No, I don't think he ever did, but I don't see what help that will be, dogs don't speak", replied Mrs. Lindale confused.
"Like, every one knows that the dog in Mystery-Inc can talk", said Shaggy.
"Rear I ran ralk", said Scooby hurt.
"Oh my gosh, you can too", said Mrs. Lindale a little shocked.
"Is there anything you can tell us about the one who called himself Fred, and looked like me?" Asked Fred, wanting to know what his imposter looked like.
"Well, I know that he was about your height, he wore every thing you are wearing right now, but I guess that is not much help, is it?"
"No, not really, are there any small details you remember that might have been different to how I look now?"
"Not really, I can't think of anything.... no wait a minute, yes, yes there was something that he wore that is different to what you are wearing." Said Mrs. Lindale, as she remembered something.
"What was it?" Fred asked.
"He was wearing a red ascot."
"A red ascot, well there is defiantly one thing he and I do not have in common, and that is colour taste, who in there right mind would wear a red ascot", said Fred.
Just then Shaggy snickered, and whispered to Velma, "Who in there right mind would wear an ascot at all."
"That's not nice", whispered back Velma, stomping on his toe.
"Ouch" yelped Shaggy.
"Is there something wrong dear?" Asked Mrs. Lindale.
"No, he just stubbed his toe that's all", said Velma before he could tell them what she did.
"Is there any thing you can tell me about the girl that looked like me", asked Daphne.
"Hmmm... let me see well your wearing the same colour dress, and same scarf, Ah... yes I know something that she was wearing that was different."
"What, my head band?" Asked Daphne.
"Yes, she was wearing a black head band."
"Ewwwwwww....she clearly doesn't have any taste in fashion", winded Daphne, when she heard what her imposter was wearing. "If some one is going to pose as me, you would think they had some fashion sense."
"Before you ask me about your double young lady, I can tell you right now, what she had that was different." Said Mrs. Lindale.
"Oh, really, what is that?" Asked Velma.
"She was wearing round glasses."
"Hmmm... interesting", said Velma.
"Like man, what about me, what was my double like?" Asked Shaggy.
"Well, for one, he didn't talk like that."
"Like what?"
"He didn't talk like a hippy, that's what he didn't talk like; also he wore a green pea shirt, with a white collar and zip." Said Mrs. Lindale.
"I don't talk like a hippy." Said Shaggy in defense.
"Yes you do" replied Velma.
"Rwat Rabout ry rouble", asked Scooby.
"Well he didn't talk."
"I so do not talk like a hippy", said Shaggy again, not paying any attention to what was being said.
"You do too, you always say Like, and man, and other thing." Replied Velma.
"Also he wore a black collar with a tag on it that read SD, but the letters where green, not yellow."
"Thank you very much for your time Mrs. Lindale, if we find the imposters, and your jewels, we promise to retune them", said Fred.
"No problem, I hope you find those imposters before they trick any more people." Said Mrs. Lindale as she saw the gang to the door.
Once they had left, they all piled into the Mystery Machine.
"Now where?" Asked Daphne.
"I don't speak like a hippy."
"Huh, what has that got to do with where we are going" asked Daphne.
"Oh, never mind Shaggy, he is in his own little world right now." said Velma, who was trying to hid a smile.
"But it's true." Said Shaggy.
"Look Shaggy, you do talk like a hippy, but every one likes that, we like the way you talk", said Velma.
"Oh, really, you like the way I talk?" Asked Shaggy.
"Yes, now will you drop the subject?" Sighed Velma.
"Fred, where are we of too now", asked Daphne.
"Well I'm not really sure, lets go back to Sam's Burger joint and look at all the clues we have so far", replied Fred, as he started up the Mystery Machine.
