Chapter 3
Return of the Ghoul Girls
It turns out, that this one of the longest ten-hour car rides for Mystery Inc. to ever happen. At first, it had gone pretty smooth with missing morning traffic. Sadly; about four hours into the trip is when everything started going wrong.
But, after four pit stops; one flat tire change; two hours of listening to Daphne's show tune and two restrunt food stops; the gang finally arrived to Mrs. Grimwoods Finishing School.
The school was a lot creepier looking then what Fred, Daphne or Velma had thought it would be. Around it, dark-gray clouds hung high in the sky. Rain poured as they drove closer and closer to entrance and lightning thundered in the background.
Before them, millions of dead trees lined their way to the main gate and also hung around the school itself. From the outside of the gate; Fred, Daphne and Velma could see a mote circling itself all around the building.
A draw bridge stood up and the building looked like it had stacked a whole bunch of towers on top of one another.
Yup; this was defiantly making Fred, Daphne and Velma re-think their choice…
"Well bummer – "Fred began as he faked frowned while gripping the steering wheel and slumping his shoulders. "– the gates not opened; looks like no one is home." Fred finished with a sigh.
"Hm; maybe we should could back another time." Velma suggested as she and Fred eyed one another.
"But – " Shaggy began until he looked at the front window to see the gate opening by itself. "– Like, look!" Shaggy finished as he pointed at the gate and smiled.
He then turned and faced Fred, Daphne and Velma. "Shall we go in then?" Shaggy questioned with hope as he smiled in slight excitement.
So; Fred put the van in drive and began to make its way towards the school. However; once they came to mote, they had to stop.
Putting the van in park; the five friends stepped out to not only figure out how they were supposed to annoyance their arrival, but to also stretch their bodies.
"Well gang; it looks like we've come to a dead end." Fred stated as he eyed the closed draw bridge. "How do you think we get over?" Fred wondered as he placed his hand on his chin in thought.
"We could swim over." Velma suggested as she eyed the mote in thought as well.
Shaggy shook his head. "Like, nuh uh! Swimming is a bad idea; trust me." Shaggy finished as he continued to disagree.
Daphne crossed her arms. "Oh yeah; and why is that? It does seem to be about our only option, doesn't it?" Daphne challenged as she unfolded her arms and placed her hands on her hips.
"Ro! Rad rdea! Rlligators!" Scooby finished as he shook his head and sent them a pleading look to not swim in the mote.
"Alligators!?" Fred, Daphne and Velma questioned in surprise as Shaggy and Scooby nodded.
A moment of silence came over the five friends until Fred broke it. "Well then – "Fred began only to be interrupted by a loud squeal from a chain, and the big heavy draw bridge dropping down behind them. While it dropped down; all five friends turned to watch it hit the ground. Once it was down; Fred turned to the others and shrugged his shoulders. "– I guess that answer's our problem." Fred finished with a sigh.
"Well hello there!" A new voice greeted from behind Fred suddenly making Fred scream in surprise and jump into Daphne's arms who luckily was ready for the jump and caught him.
They all turned to the voice only to find an older woman with black hair and wearing a long pink dress that flowed on the ground behind her. She had a red cap attached to her dress and a red hair band and shoes to match.
Once they noticed her, she eyed the five friends and smiled widely at them.
"Oh; I'm so sorry; I didn't mean to startle you." The women finished as she frowned slightly.
Fred cleared his throat as he still stayed in Daphne's arms. "Um, it's okay. I really wasn't that scared anyway." Fred stated with a nervous laugh as everyone eyed him.
Daphne frowned, "Really?" Daphne questioned as she motioned to their position as Fred nodded.
With a sigh, Daphne shrugged and let go of Fred while they were all suddenly watching him drop to the ground.
Standing up and dusting himself off. Fred eyed Velma, Shaggy and Scooby (who were laughing as he was dropped) with a warning look before turning and smiling at the older women before all of them.
"I'm sorry about that. I'm usually a lot less scared." Fred finished as Velma, Shaggy, Scooby and even Daphne laughed at his response before they started to silently laugh to themselves. "Anyway; it's nice to meet you. I'm Fred Jones and this Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley and – "Fred began to introduced until the older women stopped him.
"- I know; Shaggy and Scooby." The older women explained as she smiled at the teen and dog. "I'm Mrs. Grimwood, owner of this here fine school." Mrs. Grimwood explained as she waved to everyone.
"It's nice to meet you three – "Mrs. Grimwood stated before turning to Shaggy and Scooby. "– And it's nice to see you two again." Mrs. Grimwood finished with a huge grin.
"It's nice to see you too Mrs. Grimwood. Thanks so much for the invitation; you know Scooby and I are very excited to see all the girls again and introduce our friends to them." Shaggy finished with happiness.
"Well then, why don't we head inside and let you kids get settled in?" Mrs. Grimwood suggested as she gestured to the school.
Agreeing; Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby made sure to their bags from the van before heading inside. Once inside the front door of the school, the gang all waited and took the chance to look at what was in front of them. To Shaggy and Scooby, the school looked the same. But, to Fred, Daphne and Velma the school looked just as creepy on the inside as it did on the outside, if not a little creepier.
Before they could continue to debate in thought, Mrs. Grimwood came walking back up to them. "So; I talked to some of the girls and there willing to share rooms while you're here. You know; as long as that's alright with you?" Mrs. Grimwood explained/asked as she nodded at the gang. Surprisingly; Velma and Daphne nodded in agreement. "Good." Mrs. Grimwood stated as she clapped her hand together and smiled before turning to Shaggy and Scooby. "Shaggy, Scooby, the room you stayed in last time is available, if you'd like to stay in it again?" Mrs. Grimwood asked with slightly hope.
Shaggy and Scooby looked at one another before nodding in agreement. "Like, yeah! That'd be pretty awesome! And, if it makes things easier; Fred could stay with us too, if that's alright?" Shaggy finished.
Mrs. Grimwood nodded. "Alright, and for the girls, I was able to arrange some things. Daphne dear; you'll be staying with Sibella while Velma dear; you'll be staying with Elsa." Mrs. Grimwood finished with a smile still as she turned and began to look around the room for someone before turning back to the gang. "Oh, drat!" Mrs. Grimwood stated as she snapped her fingers together. "I told those girls to be here when the draw bridge went down so I could introduce you to them. Ugh, those girls – "Mrs. Grimwood began to explain until she was interrupted by a loud howling.
The howling made Fred, Daphne and Velma all jump in surprise.
Turning to the noise, the noticed someone standing in the window on the other side of the room.
The howling continued before the figure jumped off the ledge of the window and howled one last big final howl.
"Oh Winnie! Cut it out would you!?" Mrs. Grimwood questioned as she sighed. "Come say hello to Shaggy and Scooby while meeting their friends." Mrs. Grimwood finished as she gestured to the gang.
"Helloooo." Winnie stated with a howl in her tone as she eyed the five friends. Once she noticed no one taking her howling as serious as she thought they would, she relaxed herself and grinned.
"Shaggy! Scooby! What's up my bros!?" Winnie questioned as she walked up to the and hugged each one.
"Nothing much, like, what about you!?" Shaggy questioned as he and Scooby eyed her with interest.
"Eh, same old same old." Winnie replied as she, Shaggy and Scooby laughed slightly before Winnie turned to the two's friends. "So, uh, who's you're friends?" Winnie questioned with interest.
"Oh, right, Winnie – "Shaggy began as he gestured to his three friends. "I'd like you to meet Fred Jones, Daphne Blake and Velma Dinkley." Shaggy introduced as he smiled at the group.
"Hello." "Hi." "Nice to Meet You." Were the responses that Fred, Daphne and Velma gave in return.
Winnie was about to reply until there was a loud crash from upstairs. With everyone looking up at the ceiling; Mrs. Grimwood explained that sometimes the girls had unusual habits because of who they were. And, when she was done explaining that, she headed for the upstairs welcoming the gang to join her in hopes of running into the other girls. So; the five friends plus Winnie followed. Fred, Daphne and Velma stayed near Mrs. Grimwood still unsure about their decision of coming along while Shaggy and Scooby trailed behind catching up with Winnie on old times. Once they arrived, they were lead to one of the various bedrooms. Watching Mrs. Grimwood open the door; they group was meet with a black bat flying out of the room above their heads. Ducking; the five friends all reacted in a different way only to be interrupted by four other girls coming out of the room as fast they could. Before they could get far though, Mrs. Grimwood stopped all of them instantly…
"What is going on here!?" Mrs. Grimwood questioned as she had grabbed a hold of one of the girl's arms.
"Oh uh, Sibella bet we couldn't run as fast as she could fly. So; we took the bet and she turned into a bat and took off. We were only trying to prove her wrong."
One of the girls who looked a younger version of Frankenstein explained as she sighed while the other three girls nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Grimwood eyed them and raised an eyebrow. "Then, what was the loud crashing?" Mrs. Grimwood questioned.
"That was the bedroom lamp. Sibella accidently knocked her wing into it as she flew past it. We figured it was best to just leave it there, after all, you've told us not to play with sharp glass."
A second girl who looked pretty ghostly explained as she giggled slightly and did a mid-air backflip in amusement.
"Yeah, which is really too bad, because you know how much we love to play with sharp shining things." A third girl who looked like a mummy finished as she giggled at the thought too.
"Ugh – "Mrs. Grimwood stated as she sighed. "– I'm upset that you girls broke my lamp; but I'm very happy that you actually listened to one of my old rules about the glass." Mrs. Grimwood finished as she rubbed her forehead with two of her fingers. "Either way; we'll worry about that. Right now; I want you girls to say hello to Shaggy, Scooby and their friends; they'll be here for the graduation." Mrs. Grimwood finished explaining as she smiled suddenly and gestured to the gang who was all standing there in surprise and slight worry.
"Wait – "The girl who looked like Frankenstein stated as she turned to the group of friends. "– Did you just say Shaggy and Scooby? As in, our old gym teachers?" She questioned once more.
A moment of silence came over the whole group as the four girls eyed Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby to make sure they heard right.
Once no one moved or spoke, Shaggy broke the silence. "Like, yeah it's us. Shaggy and Scooby in the flesh." Shaggy finished as he smiled widely as he watched all of the girl's eyes widen in surprise.
Suddenly; the four girls yelled Shaggy and Scooby's name in excitement and made a mad dash for the two. Seeing this; Fred, Daphne and Velma moved aside and watched as the four girls pulled Shaggy and Scooby into a group hug. Next to them, Mrs. Grimwood and Winnie watched while laughing to themselves at their reactions. Before anyone knew what was happening; everyone started talking at once as they all tried to catch up with one another. Finally; when things calmed down and everyone got over their slight excitement, Shaggy and Scooby began their new introductions.
"Fred, Daphne, Velma – "Shaggy began as he smiled. "- I'd like you to meet Elsa Frankenstein, Phanty Phantom and Little Tanis." Shaggy finished as he pointed at each girl.
"Elsa, Phanty and Tanis; I'd like you to meet the rest of Mystery Inc." Shaggy finished once more with an even wider smile.
"Oh, wow coach, these were the friends you told us about? The one's who you had so many adventures with?" Tanis questioned as she eyed Fred, Daphne and Velma with interest.
Shaggy nodded, "Yup." Shaggy finished as he chuckled to himself at the name Tanis called him.
"Well, on behalf of all of us, we'd like to welcome you three to Grimwoods School for Finishing Ghouls." Elsa stated with a smile as she shook Fred, Daphne and Velma's hand.
"Why thank you. Were excited to be here." Daphne spoke up as she finished shaking Elsa's hand and smiled at her.
"This is defiantly just fangtasitic as Sibella would say." Phanty stated as she giggled lightly before turning to Daphne.
"– And speaking of fangtasitic, I love your outfit. Do you think you could give me some fashion tips later? I'm planning an awesome outfit for the open-house but I'm not sure what to even wear!?"
Phanty questioned as she flashed a smile at Daphne with hope in her voice.
Daphne nodded, "I'd love to help you." Daphne finished as she and Phanty cheered together.
"– And, speaking of helping people." Velma began slowly as she turned to Elsa and Winnie who both eyed her with interest. "I was wondering if you two could help me with something?
You see; if it's alright with you, I'd love to do some research and comparison on the legends we know and the real life you know. You know; for Science and stuff?" Velma finished with hope as she gave the two girls a nervous smile.
Winnie and Elsa eyed one another before shrugging and nodding their heads. "Yeah, I don't see why we wouldn't be able to help." Winnie explained as she smiled.
"You know; as long as you promise you're not probing us or anything like that, then yeah, we'd love to help." Winnie finished as she and Elsa laughed slightly.
Velma smiled. "Aw thank you! And, I promise, there will be no probing." Velma finished as she eyed the girls hoping they believed her on that.
"Then awesome! I have always been one for Science; I will admit that." Elsa finished as she, Winnie and Velma continued to laugh.
Before anyone else could say anything or make a new conversation; the sound of a ringing bell was brought to their attention. Turning their heads; the group of nine noticed that Mrs. Grimwood was the one ringing the bell.
Once she had everyone's attention, she gave the bell back to her white floating gloved covered hand (which honestly; didn't even phase Fred, Velma or Daphne) and cleared her throat.
"Well, I think that this all enough excitement for one day; what do you guys say?" Mrs. Grimwood questioned as everyone nodded in agreement. She clapped her hands and smiled. "Good, then I think we should let Shaggy, Scooby, Fred, Daphne and Velma all settle into their rooms and join us for dinner." Mrs. Grimwood continued as she turned to the girls. "Winnie and Tanis; could be dears and go fetch Sibella please so she can meet Daphne? Elsa, could you please show Velma the room you two will be staying in and Phanty; could please take Shaggy, Scooby and Fred up to their room?" Mrs. Grimwood finished with hope as all of the girls nodded and smiled. "Good, dinner will be ready in one hour. I'll you all down in the kitchen." Mrs. Grimwood finished as she waved goodbye to the nine kids and stalked off.
Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby were all lead to their destinations just like Mrs. Grimwood wanted.
While they were lead to their destination, all of them just hopped that this visit would go just as they wanted it too…
