Skippy Doo
I Do NOT own Scooby Doo or any of the Scooby Doo Charcters!
This story was thought of by me and one of my old co-workers!
Once in the office, Tiffany sat down at the desk and started working at the computer. Skippy jumped on the other chair and Sprint stood behind Tiffany. Tiffany brought up the Coolsville News internet site and found a news cast from the morning news. She clicked on it and made sure the sound was on before she pushed play.
"Thanks Sarah." The news anchor said. "Now we go to Chad Davis over at Playtime Furniture where workers claimed to see a ghost the night before. Chad?"
"Thanks Matt." Chad said. "I'm here at Playtime Furniture where just last night three workers swore they saw a ghost. The owners of this factory refuse to let any employee work until they know for sure if the place is truly haunted. However, those who work the morning are here to work because they don't believe in this ghost."
"Look, the night shift workers are always making a fuss over nothing."
"It's Susan." Sprint pointed out.
"So you don't believe in the ghost?" Chad asked Susan.
"Of course not. Why would a ghost haunt a place like this?" Susan said with a sly smile.
"That's what…" The camera turned quickly towards the warehouse window. "Did you see that?" Susan ran inside followed by Chad and the camera man.
"I'm the Warehouse Ghost! I will destroy Playtime Furniture and make every single worker my minion!" Tiffany paused the video.
"I was watching that." Sprint said as Tiffany opened a new tap and opened the Coolsville's News internet site again. Sprint's walkie-talkie went off with Ted's voice on the other side.
"We found the other projector and we're setting the trap now."
"Sounds good." Sprint said. Tiffany found another video from last night's news and pushed play.
"Breaking news. Playtime Furniture is now haunted." The news anchor said. "We have field reporter Rebecca Wells at Playtime Furniture to find out more. Rebecca?"
"Thanks Greg. I'm here at Playtime Furniture where just 15 minutes ago an explosion occurred. That explosion was made by the Warehouse Ghost. The police have not found anything at this moment."
"We were just about to go on break when we saw an explosion in the warehouse. Zeke, Rose and I ran back there and there was the ghost."
"The police have no report, but the Playtime Furniture owners, Jean and John Daymaker will close the plant until they know for sure if the ghost is real." A small explosion comes from inside. Camera man, Rebecca, workers and police run inside.
"I am the Warehouse Ghost. I will destroy Playtime Furniture and make every single one of you my minions."
"Run!" The workers yell as they quickly filed outside. The police escorted the workers out as quick and orderly as possible.
"I just got word," Rebecca said, leaving the warehouse with the police. "That Mystery Incorporated has been notified. I'm Rebecca Wells, back to you." Tiffany paused the video.
"Did you hear that?" Tiffany asked.
"Yeah…" Sprint trailed off. "Heard what?"
"The ghost had a different voice in both news cast. Also, the ghost had different messages." Tiffany said. "Listen." Tiffany went back a bit and played the first message.
"I am the Warehouse Ghost. I will destroy Playtime Furniture and make every single one of you my minions." Tiffany stopped the video and went to the other one. She went to the message and pushed play.
"I'm the Warehouse Ghost! I will destroy Playtime Furniture and make every single worker my minion!" Tiffany stopped the video.
"Whoa."
"One voice seemed deeper than the other." Skippy said.
"Exactly." Tiffany opened yet another tap and reopened the article she found earlier that day.
"I think you have an idea." Sprint said as Tiffany pushed print.
"Yeah." Tiffany said, just as Sprint's walkie-talkie went off.
"We've captured the ghost and called the police." Selma said on the other side.
"We're on our way Selma." Sprint said, looking at Tiffany.
"Meet'cha outside." Tiffany added. Tiffany grabbed the article she just printed. "Come on, let's go."
Outside Playtime Furniture 5:30pm
"The news station is here too…man they got here fast." Ted said, exchanging a worried glance with Selma.
"Why do you reveal who done it in front of everyone?" Sprint asked.
"You only have to say everything once." Fred told him. Sprint nodded before glancing at Tiffany. She was nervous. Sprint walked over to her.
"You ok?"
"Nervous." Tiffany said simply. "What if we're wrong?" She said after a slight pause.
"I don't think we are." Sprint said. "I have no doubt in my mind that we are correct."
"Mystery Inc.! Mystery Inc.!" The news reporters started saying. "How'd you solve this mystery?"
"Actually," Fred said. Velma, Daphne and Shaggy were smiling slightly. "Our cousin's solved this mystery. We just helped with the capture."
"Your cousins?" Suddenly all attention was on Sprint, Tiffany, Ted, Selma and Skippy. "Who are you?"
"I'm Sprint Rogers. This is Tiffany Blake, Selma Dinkley, Ted Jones and my dog Skippy."
"So, how did you solve the mystery?" Sprint looked at Tiffany and Selma gave her a slight push forward. If Tiffany was nervous before, she was scared to death now. She took a deep breath before speaking.
"We were asked to take this mystery and we agree." Tiffany said slowly, taking another deep breath. "Through finding the cause of the explosions, finding the projectors and other important clues, we were able to solve this mystery." Fred walked over to the villain. Tiffany and Sprint followed. "The person behind this is…" Tiffany grabs the mask and pulls it off.
"Johnny Bravo?" The crowed looked confused. Sprint and Tiffany exchanged weird glances as Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, Scooby, Selma, Ted and Skippy walked over to them. Sprint grabbed the Johnny Bravo mask and pulled it off.
"Rosalie Hale?"
"That girl from Twilight?" Fred was now confused. However, Sprint, Ted and Shaggy gave the same look to Fred that said 'how do you know that?' Ted grabbed the Rosalie Hale mask and pulled it off revealing…
"Mojojojo?"
"This is getting ridiculous!" Selma said, grabbed the mask and pulling it off.
"Pikachu?" Tiffany was no longer nervous, but she was starting to get frustrated. She grabbed the Pikachu mask and pulled it off.
"A robot?"
"Alpha 5 from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers? You have got to be joking!" Ted said. Sprint pulled the mask off.
"The Backstreet Boys?" Daphne said. Shaggy and Scooby exchanged glances.
"No!" Tiffany said, grabbing the mask. "The real villain is…" She pulled the mask off, hoping it was the last one.
"Susan Richards!"
"Exactly." Tiffany said, slightly relieved. "She was not happy about losing the award for best work performance in the plant."
"But she's not alone." Sprint added. Quiet whispers started among the group of citizens and news reporters were ready to get any information they could.
"Greg Stevens." Tiffany said. Everyone turned to see Greg slowly creeping off. Police Officers grabbed him, bringing him to the front.
"They worked together in hopes to scare everyone into believe the ghost was real, so work performance would plummet and the company would slowly plummet." Sprint said.
"However, we ran into Susan today. She was planning on working all by herself to increase her work performance, along with Greg. But they didn't know we were coming." Tiffany smiled.
"How do you figure it out?"
"It first started with this article that Tiffany found." Selma said, holding the article. "Greg and Susan were in the picture and they don't look too happy."
"The second clue was when Susan was in the building even though it was closed for investigation." Ted pointed out.
"We found two news videos with the ghost on them." Tiffany smiled. "Susan came last night and said, 'I am the Warehouse Ghost. I will destroy Playtime Furniture and make every single one of you my minions.'"
"And Greg came this morning and said, 'I'm the Warehouse Ghost. I will destroy Playtime Furniture and make every single worker my minion.'" Sprint said. "That helped us finalized who done it." Sprint looked at his friends. "Once all the employees were gone, they were able to finalize their plans."
"Did they really use explosives in this place?" A news reporter asked.
"No." Skippy said. "There were no explosives used at all. They used homemade smoke bombs to make it seem as if the Warehouse Ghost was coming into the room in a puff of smoke and just changed the color of the powder to make it seem like a fire."
"But they did use projectors around the plant to act as though the ghost could fly."
"Susan. Greg. How could you?" A brown haired man asked, walking up to Greg and Susan.
"You chose the builders over us for overall performance. Without us, you would have no plant." Susan said.
"We would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling kids and their cousins."
"Rey."
"Don't forget their dogs." Skippy smiled.
"Come on, let's go." The police took Greg and Susan away. The news reporters didn't leave.
"Mr. Daymaker, what about the rest of the plant." A black haired woman asked. "The paint room still freezes, the saws turn off and on automatically, and so much more."
"Ah, right you are Samantha." Mr. Daymaker said slowly.
"That's all been taken care of too." Tiffany said. "Just a few wires that needed to be fixed."
"Oh…who owns the Red Chevy Malibu?" Sprint asked. A short black haired man stepped forward.
"That would be me."
"Mark Johnson?"
"Yes." Sprint tossed him his keys. "Found them in the boxing line."
"How did they get there?" Samantha asked.
"My guess, Greg and Susan put them there to make it stop working." Sprint said. "And to put the blame on someone else."
"Thanks for helping us solve this mystery kids." Mr. Daymaker said.
"It was our pleasure."
"WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR!" Sprint, Tiffany, Ted and Selma looked at each other and looked towards the parking lot.
"THE GHOST DID IT!" Tiffany, Sprint, Ted, Selma, Fred, Shaggy, Daphne and Velma yelled back. They looked at each other and laughed. Suddenly the press moved closer.
"So, how did you get involved with the Mystery Inc. gang?"
"Why do you call yourself Sprint?"
"How did you get the name Selma?"
"Are you anything like your cousins?"
"How did you guys meet?"
"Did you enjoy solving this mystery? Are you thinking of doing it again anytime soon?"
"ENOUGH!" Sprint yelled. The reporters fell silent. "My real name is Norman. Sprint is the nickname I got in first grade for being the fastest running kid at Track and Field day. It's stuck since then and I've just got used to it."
"My grandma's name was Selma."
"We got involved with the Mystery Inc. gang when they had to do another mystery at the Coolsville Bowling Alley." Tiffany stated. "Sprint and I met in Kindergarten and Selma and Ted joined us come the third grade." Tiffany then looked at her friends. "And do we seem to be anything like our cousins?"
"Sprint was the leader this whole time." Ted said.
"And Tiffany figured out who done it and found the projectors." Selma said.
"And Ted found the keys on accident." Tiffany added.
"We all had something to do on this mystery. Sure Selma didn't figure out who the ghost was, like Velma does. Does that make her stupid? No. And maybe Ted did get scared once or twice, but does that make him a total wimp? No. And Tiffany did solve the mystery. But does that mean she's not pretty? No. And Sprint lead them. Does that mean he's too strong? No." Skippy said.
"We are all different. And just because we have the same last name as our cousin doesn't mean we are exactly like them." Sprint said. "I've tried out for football and made it in because the coach didn't know who Shaggy is."
"I was told I couldn't be in a math class because I'm related to Daphne, yet I do great in math." Tiffany said. "And Daphne may love acting, but I'm terrified when speaking to an audience."
"And maybe I'm not good at science. But I love art and music." Selma said. "I'm a great artist and a good singer."
"And maybe I'm not athletic or a leader like Fred is, but I do love filming and writing." Ted smiled shyly.
"So, do you enjoy solving the mystery?" Sprint, Selma, Ted, Tiffany and Skippy looked at each other.
"Surprisingly, yeah." Sprint said. "It was different and we were really able to find out more about ourselves."
"Will you do this again?"
"Only if we have to." Tiffany said. "Speaking of have to, we have homework to do." Fred, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne and Scooby headed to the Mystery Machine as the reporters took a few last pictures of Sprint, Tiffany, Selma, Ted and Skippy and left. Tiffany and Sprint turned to face Ted and Selma.
"Come on, let's go." Sprint said. Sprint, Tiffany, Selma, Ted and Skippy hurried towards the Mystery Machine and climbed in. Once everyone was inside, Fred drove off towards Coolsville.
I'm taking a break from some of my other stories and decided to post this story. I've had it on the computer for awhile (and parts in a notebook). It is still being worked on, but everything is kinda laid out and just needs to be written on paper.
Don't worry, I'm not giving up on ANY of my other stories. I WILL finish them. Hopefully soon! I've started school again and I'm also a Nanny. So bare with me
