A Ghostly Treasure Hunt
In a spooky looking mansion in the bayou of Louisiana, all seemed to be off about the place. There was this eerie light coming from the windows, and an evil laugh resonated from the halls. But inside, the one making that noise was a gardener?
This sounds like a mystery that only Inspector Gadget could solve!
Speaking of which, on a road near the bayou, we find said inspector examining the engine of his car. It was smoking, so the only logical conclusion is that it broke down.
"Wowsers, that's a fine kettle of fish." Gadget said.
He pulled the fish out of his car and decided to stop trying to use the engine to cook his to-go meals. That's when he heard something unusual. Was it… music?
"Well, if I didn't know any better, I'd say my old buddy Shawn is here." said the grey wearing inspector. "Go-Go-Gadget Canoe!"
From beneath his overcoat, the inspector produced two mechanical arms that placed a wooden canoe with two oars in the water. He stepped in and began rowing his way towards the music. Goodness knows just what kinds of shenanigans will ensue because of this.
Shawn and Jazz were in the bayou of Louisiana for their spring break after a lot of persuading Shawn's aunt and uncle and Jazz's parents, as well as Walker. But they weren't in their universe, but a separate one where ghosts won't bother them. They were in a boat that Shawn was rowing as he was wearing clothes similar to a certain "Shadow Man", only they're purple, neon green, and gold.
Shawn: Gather 'round, you'll hear a sound
Ancient and mysterious
Where banshees cry and goblins sigh
In manners dark and curious
Shawn was singing as he changed Jazz's clothes to those of a mambo; a female Voodoo priestess.
Shawn: In the swamp where gators swim
There's much to fear, you'll see
But the spirits float adrift
On the bayou breeze
Fog started to roll around the boat to give it a mystic and eerie look. A few alligators swam next to the boat as if hypnotized by the song.
Shawn: Mission bells and voodoo spells
The sounds of witches shrieking
Listen close, you'll hear a ghost
Or a zombie choir weeping
Shawn went to Jazz as she stood in the boat. He smiled at her as he held her chin. Jazz joined in the singing.
Shawn and Jazz: In the swamp, the spider's bite
Is wild, I guarantee
As the spirits float adrift
On the bayou breeze
The creatures of the bayou started to appear next to the boat and a few of them were behind the boat as well.
Shawn and Jazz: In the swamp, the spider's bite
Its wild, I guarantee
And the spirits float adrift
On the bayou breeze
On the bayou breeze
Shawn and Jazz kissed as the mist and creatures went away. "Such a beautiful singing voice." Shawn said as he hugged Jazz.
"Thank you Shawn. So, what have you been planning for this trip?" Jazz asked. "Well, Jazz my dear we're going to meet a friend of mine who should be contacting us soon." Shawn said as the boat shook.
"What was that?" Jazz asked. Shawn looked over the side of the boat. "Hello Gadget. Out for a swim, I see." He said as he smiled.
"Well shut my mouth and call me old fashioned! It's great to see you again, Shawn." said Inspector Gadget as he got out of the water. "And who is this with you? A crime fighting assistant?"
"Not exactly, this is my partner and girlfriend." Shawn said with a smile as he pulled out a fishing pole and hooked Gadget's coat.
"Nice to meet you Inspector. I'm Jazmine, but most people call me Jazz." Jazz said as she watched Shawn.
"So, where's Penny and Brain?" Shawn said a he reeled Gadget onto the boat.
"I left them at home with Cap Man for awhile. I was off to see my great aunt Gertrude, but my car broke down and I could really use a lift." Gadget replied. "Can you guys give me a ride? She lives in this spooky mansion up on Willow's Peak."
"We were just heading there. Me and Jazz heard of some hauntings going on and thought you could help." Shawn said as he held up a remote to Jazz while rowing towards a road.
"Yeah, what do you say inspector?" Jazz asked as she pressed the button on the remote.
The boat spun rapidly as it reached land and turned into a 80s Chevrolet Chevy Van with opposite colors of the Mystery Machine and the words 'Enigma Transformer' was on both sides.
"Wowsers! You didn't even have to say Go Go Gadget for that!" said Inspector Gadget as he got into the vehicle. "How did you do that?"
Jazz's clothes were changed into a mix of Velma and Daphne while Shawn's were a mix of Shaggy and Fred.
"Gadget, old buddy. I've shown you my transforming vehicle before. Or was that Velma? Either way, it's a simple transformation remote of my own design. Like, let's get going." Shawn said as he started up the van and started driving to the mansion.
