Chapter 5
Friday brought great uneasiness in the Blake estate, after the gang spent the day hitting the books at Coolsville University the team of sleuths did some more studying when they got back from college for the day before embarking for the Coolsville Drive-In on the outskirts of the town around 7 PM to catch a movie and to possibly catch a villain or maybe a monster, however what the group of detectives didn't know was that one of their members was going to become a monster before the night was over.
The crimson colored van known as the Mystery Machine zipped through the streets of the small Ohio town heading for one of their favorite haunts so to speak; while Fred drove the vehicle, the blond haired college student spoke to one of his fellow sleuths while the group's Great Dane watched; Scooby Doo however was a bit nervous as the blond unofficial leader of the group drove and spoke at the same time, a fact that Fred and Shaggy noticed and a fact that Daphne and Velma noticed before they got into the Mystery Machine, at the moment though they were in the back of the vehicle discussing their respective boyfriends and their plan to catch whoever was responsible for trying to capture Shaggy.
"Daphne?" Velma asked.
"What's up Velma?" Daphne responded.
"Can I tell you something?" Velma inquired.
"Sure Velma, go right ahead" Daphne replied.
"Well, to be honest I'm still unsure about this plan of ours; we still don't know what we're up against here, and we don't know what this person or thing or monster has planned for us and for Shaggy" Velma explained.
"I know Velma, I'm still unsure too; whoever or whatever has been following us might try and get to Fred like he's trying to get to Shaggy, to tell the truth my women's intuition tells me we're all going to be in danger unless we find out what's going on and solve whatever mystery that we get ourselves into" Daphne replied.
"I just hope we can solve this thing before something does happen to one of us or all of us" Velma commented.
Meanwhile in the front of the van Shaggy and Fred are having a similar conversation, but not quite the same as Daphne and Velma's, as the Mystery Machine gets closer and closer to the Drive In.
"Shaggy" Fred asked.
"Yes" Shaggy responded.
"Are you sure it was a good idea to bring Scooby on our double date?" Fred asked.
"I know it seems a bit weird but it was probably a good idea anyway, considering how Scooby's been lately; you know seeing things that aren't there and all" Shaggy replied.
"I guess you're right" Fred remarked.
"Like plus if something does happen to any of us, Scooby can track down whatever creep is following us" Shaggy replied.
"That's for sure" Fred commented.
While Scooby Doo and company were arriving at the drive-in, outside of the theater's front gate out of the line of sight of the gang two familiar and monstrous figures watched their targets arrive; however before they could do anything another familiar figure appeared in a puff of smoke, which surprised the two monstrous figures.
"Master? What are you doing here?" Brunch asked, somewhat shocked at Dracula's appearance.
"Ah, but I am not here; this is my new bat holographic laser, how did it work?" Dracula asked as he opened up his cape, only to reveal that his pants were missing and that he was wearing underwear with bats on it.
"Um, I think something got lost in the transmission sire" Brunch said, pointing out the vampire's faux pas, which he immediately looked down and noticed.
"Never mind that, just tell me: how are you doing with capturing my new werewolf?" Dracula asked after closing his cape.
"They're not going well, we failed last night to transform Shaggy as well as we did the first night; although I thought you were going to check on us last night like you did the first night?" Brunch asked.
"I was, but I had a date with Vanna Pira so had to change my plans, but never mind my personal life, it's none of your business; now as for your failure…" Dracula explained.
"We know, boiling oil and all that" Brunch said.
"Please don't boil us in oil!" Crunch added, although he slobbered drool all over Dracula as he spoke.
"Knock it off, you monster mush mouth! I'm not going to boil you two in oil, yet; I'm a responsible monster, so I'm going to give you one more chance before I get really steamed with you, turn Shaggy into a werewolf tonight, or I'm going to put lumps on your humps!" Dracula declared.
"Y-yes master, we'll have your werewolf before the night is over" Brunch replied.
"Well see that you do, now I must get back to my castle to prepare for my guests, I'll check back in later to see your progress first hand" Dracula said as he vanished within a puff of smoke once again.
"What are we going to do?" Crunch asked, in his incomprehensible voice.
"Simple my dear Crunch, we get into the drive in and turn Shaggy into a werewolf, now come on!" Brunch declared as he and Crunch slowly and stealthily walked inside the drive in, making sure no one, especially Scooby and company could see them.
Meanwhile inside the Drive In, Scooby and the gang paid for their movie tickets and found a place to park; soon afterwards, Shaggy told Velma and the rest of the group that he was thirsty so the cowardly college student told the group that he was going to the concession stand to get a soft drink, later he came back and began drinking it like he was in a desert and he was parched of thirst, which he wasn't; as Velma could see from the way he was drinking it, he wasn't taking a breath or anything, he was drinking the soda non stop, which worried Velma a bit.
The gang's fairly new crimson colored Mystery Machine also had something that the old psychedelic painted van did not which was coming in quite handy, specifically it was a large pull down screen (which had been discussed by the group the night before) that separated the different parts of the vehicle, just in case any members of the group needed to discuss private business or personal matters; for the moment though Fred and Daphne were using the screen as they sat in the back of the van talking as well as watching and listening to the movie while Shaggy, who was still slurping away at his soda, Velma and Scooby sat in the front of the van in front of the screen that separated the back part of the vehicle from the front.
"Shaggy" Velma said.
"Yes Velma?" Shaggy asked.
"Do you ever wonder about the future?" Velma replied.
"What about?" Shaggy inquired.
"Well, we've been dating for quite a while and you seem to be a little I don't know different than before we were dating" Velma replied.
"Huh? What makes you say that?" Shaggy asked.
"Oh it's just that since you and I started being boyfriend and girlfriend you've been for the most part really brave and unafraid, not like when we were in high school; back then you were a total chicken and girls actually liked that, frankly I'm kind of surprised that you ever got dates then" Velma replied.
"Velma, I may have been a chicken in high school but I've changed a lot; girls back then dated me because they liked me, not because of my personality or anything like that" Shaggy commented.
"Hmm, I suppose so" Velma replied.
"Like let's not worry about that now, remember we still have that thing or person that's been trying to capture me; although I'm wondering about that myself," Shaggy remarked.
"How come?" Velma asked.
"Well, like of all the people in the world, of all the people in Mystery Inc., why would this person pick on me? There must be thousands of people who would fit the bill of whatever this person or thing wants from me, so why me?" Shaggy responded.
"I don't know Shaggy, I just don't know; although I really wish whoever was trying to capture you wouldn't have picked you either, I mean I don't want anything to happen to you, just like I don't want anything to happen to Fred, Daphne or Scooby Doo, all of you are my best friends and I don't want to lose either one of you" Velma replied.
"I feel the same way about you Vel, speaking of Fred and Daphne though I wonder who they're doing in the back" Shaggy commented as he looked towards the back of the van; meanwhile behind the van's pull down screen Daphne had her arm on Fred's shoulder, actually to be specific she had arm around Fred's arm as they watched the drive in's feature.
"Freddie?" Daphne asked.
"Yes Daph?" Fred responded.
"This is wonderful isn't it?" Daphne inquired.
"It sure is Daphne, it sure is; I couldn't think of a better place to be right now, or a better person to spend my time with then you" Fred replied.
"Fred?" Daphne asked.
"Yes Daphne?" Fred asked.
"I've been thinking, about this whole thing with Velma" Daphne responded.
"What about her? You're not jealous of her and Shaggy, you can't be jealous of them right?" Fred inquired.
"No, it's not that, it's just that she and I have been talking and what if what she was feeling is right? Something or someone might try and grab one of us or worse" Daphne replied, somewhat nervously.
"Well don't you worry your pretty little head Daph, if something does happen we'll all be here and we'll all face down whatever horror or terror we have to face, no matter how frightening it may be" Fred explained.
"Do you really mean that Freddie?" Daphne asked.
"Sure I do, any monster, ghost, villain, creature or wrongdoer that tries to take one of us or tries anything evil or wicked won't stand a chance with the five of us here" Fred replied as he hugged the red headed young woman.
"Thanks Freddie, I know that everything you said is true and that whatever happens tonight, we can through it together," Daphne said with a broad smile on her face.
Daphne and Fred then resumed watching the monster movie, unaware that a new monster was going to be in their ranks fairly soon, thanks to two of the sinister Count Dracula's lackeys, but for now things were going relatively well for Mystery Inc., relatively well except for the fact that Shaggy was continuing to slurp his drink, which started to irritate the bespectacled girl just a bit.
"Shaggy, I really wish you wouldn't drink that soda so fast" Velma remarked.
"What's wrong with the way I'm drinking this?" Shaggy replied.
"Easy, you could get a case of the hiccups" Velma said.
"The hiccups? sure I'll get the hiccups from drinking soda" Shaggy replied with a sarcastic tone in his voice.
"Hey I've seen it happen before" Velma remarked.
"Like When?" Shaggy asked.
"Lots of times, for example; uh, that one time or that other time" Velma replied trying to think of something quickly.
"I guess you can't think of any huh?" Shaggy asked.
"Of course I can it's just, oh forget it let's just watch the movie" Velma replied.
"Like ok if that's what you want" Shaggy remarked.
Velma then folded her arms as she and the cowardly college student attempted to watch the movie in peace, although their peace was soon to be interrupted, not by something that Shaggy or any of the members of Mystery Inc. was doing, but by something on the drive in movie screen; at that moment on said screen Velma heard a growling sound and moved closer to Shaggy; the red shirted teen sleuth was curious as to why Velma did this and asked her about it.
"Like, now what's the matter?" Shaggy asked.
"Nothing, I'm just a little jumpy is all" Velma replied.
"Are you sure Velma?" Shaggy inquired.
"Yes, I'm sure" Velma replied.
"Okay" Shaggy commented as he pulled the old yawn and put your arm around your girlfriend trick, which actually worked and which Velma didn't seem to mind, in fact the look on her face gave the impression that she enjoyed it.
Meanwhile out of the sight of the Mystery Machine, Dracula's servants The Hunch Bunch prepared to put their master's sinister scheme into motion; however, being real monsters the two of them decided to take a few minutes to critique what they were seeing on the screen, particularly the monsters in the film.
"Movie Monsters, phooey!" commented Crunch.
"Yes, I quite agree old bean; those monsters don't resemble us in the least; now, let's get to our appointed task: transforming Shaggy into a werewolf!" Brunch replied with an evil snicker.
While the Hunch Bunch began sneaking around, Scooby Doo noticed them skulking and started whimpering, although it didn't seem to bother the other members of the group, actually what was bothering the occupants of the vehicle was that Shaggy was still slurping away at his drink and continued hiccupping, which was continuing to annoy Velma, Fred and Daphne; Fred then pulled down the large screen in the van to ask Shaggy to do something about his hiccups.
"Shaggy" Fred remarked.
"Like what's up Fred?" Shaggy replied.
"Your hiccups are kind of annoying the three of us" Fred remarked.
"Ractually, rhe rour of rus" Scooby added, in between whimpering.
"I stand corrected" Fred replied.
"Oh this is silly, I told Velma that getting the hiccups is ridiculous" Shaggy remarked.
"Well you won't think it's silly when I do this" Velma said, she took the large drink cup from Shaggy and threw it out the window right onto the Hunch Bunch.
"Yuck" remarked Crunch.
"Don't worry about it, the moon should be in the perfect alignment soon; now let us head over to Shaggy's car and change him into a monster" Brunch replied.
"Phea, a monster" Crunch remarked.
The two monsters then walked over to the Mystery Machine and unseen by the gang stood by the window, waiting for the right chance to put their plot into action; finally Velma spoke to the cowardly college student, she had a smile on her face, which surprised Shaggy, considering she was still annoyed with him for hiccupping constantly.
"Shaggy?" Velma asked.
"What's up Velma?" Shaggy replied.
"I think I have an idea that may alleviate your hiccups" Velma remarked.
"What is it?" Shaggy inquired.
"Well, in some ancient cultures the moon, or rather the full moon is said to cure all kinds of ailments, so maybe opening the sun roof to let the moon shine through might be a great idea" Velma replied.
"If you say so Velma" Shaggy said; at that moment Brunch, the smarter of the two hunchbacked creatures reached into the Mystery Machine and pushed a button, which opened the sun roof of the van; as a result the moon shone through and once Shaggy hiccupped the next time, he transformed into a fur covered werewolf, at the sign of this event Brunch and Crunch jumped for joy as finally their mission was complete, however one thing was still wrong: Shaggy was growling like a werewolf for a few seconds, then hiccupped and changed back to normal, then hiccupped and changed back to a werewolf, then changed back to a human; this continued for a few minutes before the Hunch Bunch began scratching their heads trying to figure out what was happening.
"Why does he keep changing?" Crunch asked, in his unmistakable mush mouthed voice.
"Beats me old chap, but we had better figure it out before the master finds out, come on" Brunch said.
Inside the Mystery Machine meanwhile the cowardly college student was still getting rather thirsty yet again, and was still a bit disappointed with Velma for throwing his drink out the window; even without a drink however at Shaggy had other things to deal with, mainly the continuing hiccupping noises which were perplexing and a bit aggravating to the rest of the college age sleuths; although Shaggy was also growling every couple of seconds, which also started to annoy the rest of the gang.
"Shaggy, would you please do something about your hiccups and that growling" Velma commented.
"Like why?" Shaggy asked.
"Because it would probably be a good idea to do something about your hiccups, basically so we won't have to listen to them any more; and I don't know why you're growling, but maybe you need to figure out what to do about that too " Velma explained.
"Okay, okay, I'll do something about it, maybe I need something to eat; come on Scooby let's go get some snacks from the concession stand" Shaggy said as he opened the door of the van.
"Shaggy, Scooby" Fred said, after opening the pull down curtain.
"What's up Fred?" Shaggy asked.
"Would you guys mind if I tag along, I'm kind of hungry myself; you want anything while I'm at the snack bar Daphne?" Fred inquired.
"Sure, I wouldn't mind some nachos and maybe a soft drink myself" Daphne replied.
"Sounds good Daph; Velma, do you want anything?" Fred asked.
"Hmm, how about some ice cream" Velma stated.
"Like that sounds good, any particular flavor?" Shaggy asked.
"Hmm… vanilla would be nice" Velma replied.
"OK, vanilla it is" Shaggy said.
"Don't forget straws and napkins guys, and make sure and hurry back; I'm getting that feeling again" Velma replied.
"Right Velma, we'll be back soon" Shaggy remarked; with that he, Fred and Scooby Doo walked towards the snack bar.
As the three sleuths walked to the concession area, the Hunch Bunch stealthily followed behind them making sure to not be seen or to be heard by anyone; as they made their way over to the concessions, Fred, Shaggy and Scooby began talking amongst themselves yet again, mainly about the night and what was happening so far, especially Shaggy's hiccups and his peculiar growling bit.
"Shaggy, there's one thing I don't understand about your hiccups" Fred commented.
"Like what's that Fred?' Shaggy asked.
"I know hiccups are hiccups, but for some reason I could have sworn I heard growling coming from the front of the van" Fred replied.
"Growling, what growling?" Shaggy asked.
"I mean growling, like you were a dog or…" Fred replied, before he stopped in mid sentence.
"What Fred? Like a dog or what?" Shaggy asked.
Fred was about to answer the cowardly college student until the three of them found that they had reached the concession area, which meant it was time for the three of them to order and purchase snacks; Shaggy, Scooby and Fred ordered a few snacks for themselves and Daphne and Velma, for Shaggy this meant a triple guacamole dip, although he did say hold the onions because he was around Daphne and Velma, while the trio waited for their orders Fred began speaking to the two cowardly sleuths once again.
"Shaggy, there's something strange going on at this drive in, I can't put my finger on it, but something is happening here; first you hiccup, then you growl? Something just doesn't add up, unless…" Fred remarked.
"Unless what?" Shaggy answered; the cowardly college student was about to answer when he hiccupped yet again and changed back into a werewolf, which made the cook at the concession stand nervous, so nervous in fact that he screamed when he saw the Shaggy werewolf.
However, he didn't have long to think about it because the Hunch Bunch were nearby and spotted Shaggy, the two monsters tried to grab the werewolf, but failed, which gave Shaggy, Scooby and Fred the chance they needed to escape from the monsters; the Great Dane, the werewolf and the blond college student then found an area near some garbage cans to hide from the Hunch Bunch and the angry mob that was starting to come after them, considering a werewolf had been spotted by everybody who saw the trio ran past the various cars in the drive in which were full of teens and college students taking their dates to the movies.
Once the trio of sleuths including one werewolf was sure that they were all safe from the monsters and the angry mob, Fred, Shaggy and Scooby were finally able to take deep breaths and relax; naturally this also gave the trio to figure out just what was going on in the drive in this particular Friday Night in early October.
"Phew, like we're safe for now from that mob and those two creeps" Shaggy remarked, wiping his brow in the process.
"What I can't understand is why the mob was after you Shaggy, and why those two monsters were after you, I mean why would tow hunchbacked creatures be after you, you're a college student and a human, right?" Fred asked, although it was a rhetorical question.
"Yeah, like why would they chase after me if… hiccup" Shaggy said before he hiccupped yet again, only this time when he hiccupped he did what he did before when he hiccupped, mainly that he changed back into a werewolf and started growling, which surprised Fred and Scooby Doo a bit.
"R-rhaggy, rou-rou're…" Scooby remarked, stammering a bit as he spoke.
"Like what's the matter Scooby?" Shaggy asked.
"I-I think what Scooby means Shaggy is that y-you're a w-w-w…" Fred added, although he stammered while he spoke as well.
"What's the matter with you guys? You act like you saw a ghost, wait I know, there's a discarded mirror in one of the trash cans, I'll retrieve it and see my reflection" Shaggy said; the cowardly college student then picked up a small worn mirror that was on top of one of the trash cans and for the first time Shaggy got a good look at himself and what his friends were trying to tell him.
"Zoinks! I'm a w-w-werewolf!" Shaggy exclaimed in horror.
"Scooby, Fred, you guys have got to help me!" Shaggy said in a whispered voice; although while he spoke Scooby was starting to walk away slowly, naturally as Fred saw this he grabbed Scooby's collar and brought him back quickly before anybody could see him or figure out what was going on.
"Rhy rid rou ro rhat Red, ri'm rared of rerewolves" Scooby remarked nervously, not to mentioned through whimpering.
"Scooby Doo, I'm ashamed of you, Shaggy is our friend; he's now a werewolf but nonetheless he's still our friend, so we've got to help him" Fred declared.
"Rell, rokay ri ruess rou're right" Scooby commented, still unsure of the gang's current situation.
"Good; now we can try and figure this out, although I think one part of the mystery is solved and that's why you were hiccupping and then all of a sudden you started growling, somehow you became a werewolf" Fred explained.
"Like that's all well and good, but how did I become one is the question I want answered" Shaggy commented.
"Hmm… if I had to guess I would say it's because of the full moon; I know it's cliché but it's the only thing I can think of that would change a human into a werewolf" Fred replied.
"True and I guess we know why those two monsters were trying to grab us too" Shaggy stated.
"Yeah, if I had to guess I would say they work for someone who wanted you as a werewolf for some reason, so they tried to catch you to bring you back to him" Fred replied.
"Good guess Fred; although we still have another problem, or several to be exact: one, we have to get past those monsters and get back to the Mystery Machine, two we have to avoid the angry mob and three we have to figure out how we're going to tell the girls, they'll probably have a coronary when they found out about you" Shaggy explained.
"Right, not to mention we have to get back to the van before those monsters try and grab the girls, but the only question is how do we get back there without being seen?" Fred remarked; he then looked around the area near the trashcans and formulated just the plan to get Shaggy back to the van and away from prying eyes.
Meanwhile nearby and out of the light of sight of the gang the Hunch Bunch were still trying to capture the Shaggy werewolf, however they were soon to receive an unwelcome visitor, mainly their monstrous boss Count Dracula, who a few moments later appeared in a plume of smoke, which surprised the two monsters about as much as anything could surprise to hunchbacked creatures.
"M-master! S-so good to see you again, what brings you here?" Brunch asked through a bit of a stammer.
"You know very well what brings me here, I want my Sha-Gee werewolf! Now where is he?" Dracula inquired, with his voice raised.
"Well you see, he's right over there but…" Brunch pointed to where Shaggy was standing with Fred and Scooby Doo.
"But what? All I see is that blond mortal and ugh that dog, oh, great! I think I know what they're trying to do" Dracula replied.
"What master?" Brunch asked.
"They're putting a brown paper bag on his head so that he won't be seen by anyone, like that's going to work; wait it is working, I don't believe it!" Dracula commented, somewhat unhappily.
"What are we going to do now master?" Brunch inquired.
"Simple, you two get back to the bat copter and get Sha-Gee to my castle while I await your arrival, now get going!" Dracula declared before vanishing.
"Well, you heard him Crunch old boy, let's get back to the copter and wait for our chance" Brunch explained.
With that the two monsters retreated to their mode of transportation: the unusually named Bat Copter and lifted off, hoping they could snare Shaggy and the rest of Mystery Inc.; while Dracula's lackeys went off on their evil way, Fred and Scooby were attempting to get the now cowardly werewolf back to the Mystery Machine, without anyone seeing them; all was going well at first, but soon a breeze began picking up inside the drive in, which soon turned into a fairly strong wind, the wind then became fairly strong and as a result blew the brown paper bag that Fred had put on Shaggy's head off; the three sleuths thought about chasing after said bag, but before they could do so the patrons of the drive in began screaming their heads off at the werewolf, which included a police motorcycle whose driver was working that night, after seeing the werewolf he and the rest of the patrons began chasing the trio once again.
"Zoinks! Like I thought we lost them!" Shaggy declared.
"Well I guess we didn't, and now we've got to lose them" Fred replied; while Fred was talking however Scooby Doo was pointing, in particular the Great Dane was motioning towards a familiar red vehicle, which Fred was happy to see.
"The Mystery Machine! We did it! Now, let's get in the van and get out of here!" Fred declared; soon he, Scooby and Shaggy hopped in the front of the van, however while the girls were happy to Scooby and Fred, they weren't pleased to see the other furry creature in the van.
"Jeepers, a werewolf!" Daphne shrieked.
"Jinkies, OK you creepy werewolf what did you do with my Shaggy?" Velma asked as she continued to beat on the werewolf, while Fred began driving the vehicle away from the drive in.
"Like knock it off Velma, I am Shaggy!" Shaggy replied.
"Shaggy?" Velma asked.
Shaggy then nodded sadly as she put her arms around him; as Velma hugged the now cowardly werewolf, Fred was continuing to guide the Mystery Machine along the road that led to a highway that was near the drive in, soon he was able to lose the dozens of cars that were following the van which gave the team of sleuths the opportunity they needed to regroup and figure out what was going on.
"Oh you poor thing; why would such a thing happen to you, of all people?" Velma asked as her arm locked around the now furry arm of Shaggy.
"That's what I wouldn't mind figuring out," Daphne added.
"Well girls, we think, that is Shaggy, Scooby and I think that someone wanted to turn Shaggy into a werewolf for some particular reason, which is probably why those monsters were chasing us and probably why Shaggy's now a werewolf" Fred explained.
"That makes sense, but the only question is why? And who would want to turn Shaggy into a werewolf anyway?" Velma inquired.
"That we haven't been able to figure out yet" Fred replied.
"Well we do know one thing: I was right when I thought something was going to happen to one of us; however if this is the mystery we had to go through then it's not too bad" Velma remarked; however Velma didn't know how wrong she was going to be, because at that moment the Bat Copter with the Hunch Bunch had found the Mystery Machine, thanks to the copter's radar system, while inside the strange helicopter the more articulated of the two monsters gave a small bag to the his comrade and explained to him what to do with it.
"The vehicle belonging to the master's werewolf and his friends is directly underneath us Crunch; drop the moon dust onto the five of them, then once they are asleep hook the cable onto the vehicle and we'll be on our way" Brunch explained.
"But that vehicle is heavy, is the cable going to work?" Crunch asked, through his somewhat mush mouthed accent.
"Don't worry your monster head about it old boy, before we left the castle I put several different cables into the copter for just such a problem; now take out the bag of moon dust and sprinkle it over Shaggy and his friends, and whatever you do, don't miss!" Brunch said.
"Got it" Crunch replied, in his unintelligible voice; the less intelligent of the pair of monsters then held the small bag in his hand and took a small of amount of what looked to be a sand type powder out of it; Crunch then lowered his arm and tossed the powder over the Mystery Machine, which still had its windows open from when the van was at the drive in, down below meanwhile Scooby and company were trying to figure out the mystery that concerned and surrounded Shaggy, or at least they were trying to figure it out when the powder that Crunch had tossed onto them was beginning to take effect on the group of sleuths.
"I wish, I wish we knew who or what was behind this whole werewolf thing," Velma said as she began yawning.
"Me too; actually I don't know about all of you, but I'm getting really sleepy all of a sudden, we must have been out later then we though" Daphne added as she began yawning.
"Like me too, what about you Scoob?" Shaggy asked through his yawns.
"Re roo" Scooby replied, yawning as he spoke.
"I guess we all, we all are getting tired; let's get some sleep and try and solve this mystery in the morning" Fred commented, while yawning as well, soon after the blond college student spoke, he placed his arm around Daphne as both of them fell asleep; in addition Shaggy placed his arm around Velma, as the two of them and Scooby Doo also fell asleep, naturally this meant that the Hunch Bunch and Dracula's plan had worked so far, as the two monsters took the opportunity to lower themselves on a rope ladder down to the Mystery Machine; once they were in back of the van they hooked a long cable to the vehicle, and then retreated back to the helicopter, a few moments later once the duo were back inside the cockpit of the vehicle they took off lugging the Mystery Machine behind them on the long journey back to Transylvania and Dracula's castle, where the ruler of vampires was about to meet the members of Mystery Inc. and his reluctant werewolf.
