They then came into the house as a woman with hair like Shaggy's but in a low braid in a sky blue shirt with a black vest, a white hat, with blue jeans and brown boots.
"It's unbelievable." Tawny commented.
"Uncanny." Kimberly added.
"Unreal." Tawny agreed.
"Uncomfortable." Shaggy groaned.
"You look exactly like him." Tawny said.
"Like, who?" Shaggy asked.
"Dapper Jack Rogers!" Tawny told him as she showed a portrait above the fireplace. "Our ancestor, and the greatest outlaw these parts have ever seen!"
Scooby looked at the portrait and saw the resemblance. "Routraw?"
Shaggy gulped at that.
"Whoa, you look just like him, Shaggy." Fred said.'
"It could be you on Halloween." Daphne agreed.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't introduce myself," Tawny shook hands with Shaggy. "I'm Tawny Rogers, your third cousin twice removed."
"Like, thank you for the invitation, cous." Shaggy laughed.
"Aw, heck," Tawny smiled. "Just an opportunity to get to know your relatives."
"Excuse me, but didn't someone say something about a ghost earlier?" Cindy spoke up.
"Yeah! That guy threatened to turn me into one!" Shaggy pointed to the bigger guy.
"And that girl too!" Mike added while pointing to Kimberly.
"We said we were sorry, get over it!" Kimberly huffed.
"The ghost of Dapper Jack has been terrorizing the town." Tawny told the others.
"Say, cous, who's that girl and that big man?" Scott asked.
"That's Raft and his daughter, Kimberly." Millie told him.
"Anyway, wouldn't a ghost in a ghost town be good for business?" Cindy asked.
"Uh, well, it would, except he shoots green flames and he smells... Very bad." Raft told her.
"Like, how come no one in my family ever mentioned this famous relative?" Shaggy asked.
"Probably because he's famous for bein' a violent gunslinger," Raft told him. "So evil, his ghost has come back to terrorize the whole town."
This caused for Shaggy and Scooby to get scared.
"Well, it looks like we got another mystery on our hands." Fred noticed.
"I should be charging him a dollar every time he says that." Brianna whispered to Trent.
"Oh, man," Shaggy groaned. "I can't believe my most famous ancestor was a outlaw. What if it's in my blood, what if I go bad?! That time in first grade when I stole a cookie, this totally explains it! I'm bad to the bone!"
"Rettle rown, Raggy!" Scooby shook his best friend.
"This reminds me of when we went to Oakhaven." Cindy commented.
"Shaggy, look at me, I know what you mean," Mike coaxed to the cowardly teen. "My Uncle Jess was an ex-gunslinger and look, he at how he turned out, he works at the Sherman Ranch."
This made Tawny and Raft gasp.
"You know Jess Harper?" Raft asked. "The Jess Harper?!"
"Yeah, he's my uncle." Mike explained.
"No way!" Tawny gasped.
"Way way, he's my mother Miranda's brother." Mike nodded.
"Who's he, Dad?" Kimberly asked about Jess Harper.
"He's a famous gun-slinger and a drifter," Raft replied. "And he's wanted for $5,000."
"Where is he then?" Kimberly asked Mike.
"Back in Laramie," Mike told her. "He works at the Sherman Ranch with the owner, Slim and his little brother, Andy."
Katrina looked out the window as a longhorn steer was leading other steers to make them charge.
Chicken looked with her and gasped. "Uncle Longhorn?!"
"Who?" Cindy asked.
"My Uncle Longhorn..." Chicken whispered. "I hadn't seen him since me and Cow showed him what he was really good at."
"Oh, that makes sense..." Cindy replied. "I guess, but will he recognize you since you're in your human disguise?"
"I'll change back later on." Chicken told her.
"Well, all right if you say so." Cindy shrugged.
"I still can't believe that you're related to Jess Harper." Raft said to Mike.
"He's really hot... I mean sweet!" Cindy said before chuckling nervously. "That's what I was gonna say."
The others glanced at her oddly.
"Uh, why don't you tell us about Dapper Jack Rogers?" Cindy asked Raft.
"The tourists always wanna hear about Dapper Jack..." Raft sighed.
"Yes, sir." Cindy nodded.
"Well..." Raft adjusted his hat as he looked at the portrait. "Dapper Jack Rogers was about the orneriest gust this part of town and terrorized Sorghum City with his ferocious dog: Atlas. They were cattle thieves, bank robbers. They stole from everyone... From old ladies, to orphans, from farmers, to school mobs! He cheated in cards, robbed the Poor Box, and returned his library books late. Jack was always a slave to fashion, legend has it he once shot a man for wearing white shoes after Labor Day! In short, he was the foulest, vilest, lowdown, no account, human being to walk the Earth! And consequently, quite a tourist attraction."
"Did anybody else picture Scooby-Doo as the dog?" Trent asked.
"Uh-huh." Brianna replied.
"You bet." Cindy added.
"I pictured him with a mustache." Shaggy agreed.
"Hmph!" Scooby pouted.
"Yep, Dapper Jack made everyone in this town miserable for years," Kimberly said as she pulled out a book. "Until Sherieff Rufus Carmichael finally took care of him," she then handed the book to Velma. "Carmichael wrote a book that was pretty popular 100 years ago his tale of Dapper Jack is what brought the tourists here in the first place and now, they come here to hear about the legend."
"And also the Crazy Q's fancy website," Raft added as he took out his phone. "Ya see it? Made it myself."
Velma shook angrily at the screen.
"Pretty darn professional, huh?" Raft smiled proudly.
"Yeah, nice font!" Velma growled.
"Yeah, I purely love that El Kabong," Raft smiled. "Whoo-hoo!"
Velma was about to hit him with the book until Daphne blocked her.
"Easy there, Velma." Brianna warned.
"All of this because of a font?" Mike asked.
"Wow, and I thought Chuckie got paranoid easily." Lil commented.
"Good one." Mike laughed.
Lil giggled with Mike.
"Hey, thanks for coming out," Tawny smiled to Shaggy. "I look forward to gettin' to know ya, cousin."
"Yeah, kind of a bummer that our ancestor was such a jerk though, huh?" Shaggy replied.
"Those are just the kinds of stories they tell tourists, Shaggy." Cindy told him.
"We have to dig up more information about Dapper Jack while we're here." Velma decided.
"That's a good idea, Velma." Lil agreed with the brains of Mystery Inc.
"Yer welcome to try, but I've been hearing all about him all my life, I heard nothing good, yet," Tawny replied. "Now, who's ready for some-"
"Lunch, lunch, lunch, lunch!" Shaggy and Scooby chanted as they zipped off.
"Now how did they know I was gonna say 'lunch'?" Tawny asked the others.
"They're pretty much psychic when it comes to food." Fred told her.
"Uh-huh." Brianna agreed.
"How about we sit together, Scotty Poo?" Lisa suggested.
Scott, Lightning, Chicken, Ellody, Katrina, and Cindy's jaws dropped after Lisa said Scotty Poo.
"Oh, Lisa, you're such a kidder." Jade giggled to her best friend since childhood.
"I don't think she's kidding." Cindy said.
"Scotty Poo?!" Chicken gasped.
