Chapter 3 The Mystery of Carl's disappearance
After telling Mr. E that they will gladly do their best to solve the mystery of the class president's disappearances Freddy said, "Let's meet up later tonight and start looking for clues." The gang agreed to do that as they all headed to the campus book store to buy their text books along with other supplies they were going to need for School and their other classes. After buying everything they needed Shaggy said, "Like Scooby and I are heading to the kitchen where our Professor held class today because he is letting us borrow the kitchen so we can get a head start on our first cooking assignment." "Good luck with your assignment" exclaimed Freddy as Shaggy and Scooby walked away. Daphne wanted to get a head start on her homework and took Freddy with her because she wanted to be alone with him which he didn't mind. "I'll be at study hall" Velma told her friends as she started heading towards the main building on campus. "I should call Johnny and ask him if he knows anything about his friend's disappearance" said Velma as she took out her cell phone and nervously stared at Johnny's number. She was very scared to call him because Velma wondered, "What if he doesn't pick up?" All of a sudden Velma is getting a phone call from the guy she was too nervous to call herself. Velma answered her phone and said "Hello." "Hey Velma its Johnny. I was wondering if you're not going anything would you like to meet up now at study hall?" Johnny asked Velma over the phone. "Jinkies I was heading over there right now" answered Velma. "Alright then I'll see you soon" said Johnny before he hung up the phone. "Oh wow I get to spend some time with Johnny. I have to tell Daphne later" Velma excitedly said as she continued her walk.
When she got there Johnny was waiting for her outside of study hall and greeted her, "I'm glad that you could join me Velma." "I'm glad to be here. While we're here I was wondering if I could talk to you about your friend Carl Chryniszzswics" Velma told Johnny which he asked, "Why do you want to about Carl?" asked Johnny. "Do you want to ask him out or something?" "No Johnny nothing like that. The reason why I want to ask about him is because one of my other professors told me and my friends that he has disappeared and hasn't been seen for the past few days" said Velma. "You see my friends and I are into solving mysteries and we agreed to help find out what happened to Carl since he is the class president." "Are you serious?! Carl is missing?! That explains why I haven't seen him around lately" Johnny said with a concern look on his face. "I hope you find him. He's actually the only friend I have and my tutor." Velma felt sorry for Johnny especially when he said Carl is his only friend. "Don't worry Johnny my friends and I will find Carl" stated Velma which made Johnny happy to hear and stated, "I'm glad that you and your friends are on the case and the fact that you're not going to ask Carl out because he is a serious romantic relationship with this girl named Helga who would be super jealous if another girl tried to take Carl away from her." "No worries I don't plan on taking anyone's boyfriend away. I'm not that kind of person" Velma exclaimed.
Velma and Johnny talked for a while getting to know each other while completing their homework together. When they were finished Velma got a text message from Freddy telling her that it was time to meet up. "I have to go meet my friends but I promise you as soon as we find Carl I'll let you know" said Velma which Johnny was grateful for and said, "Thanks and maybe after you're done solving the mystery we can hang out again." Velma smiled at Johnny and told him, "I would very much enjoy that." Velma met up with the gang where Freddy said to go which was where they first met the class president the main entrance of Miskatonic University. The gang noticed that the welcome banner was still hung up but one side of it fell down. "Like I guess the cleaning crew hasn't gotten to taking it down" said Shaggy. "Ok gang let's split up and search for clues" stated Freddy. "Great idea" exclaimed Velma. "Daphne and I will go this way whiles you Shaggy and Scooby Doo go that way." Daphne was fine searching for clues with Velma. As for Freddy he really wanted to be with Daphne but at the same time he was ok searching for clues with Shaggy and Scooby. When Freddy, Shaggy and Scooby Doo left Velma told Daphne about her afternoon with Johnny, "I know that we're supposed to be searching for clues but I wanted to tell you that I met up with Johnny Bravo earlier and we spent the afternoon together." "Oh wow really?" asked Daphne. "That's good to hear." "Also I found out that Johnny and Carl are friends and he had no idea until today that Carl was missing" Velma told Daphne. All of a sudden they spotted something shiny on the ground. When they got a closer look Velma shouted, "Jinkies these are Carl's glasses" As Velma bent down to pick them up. "They must have fallen off of his face when he disappeared" stated Daphne as they continued to search for more clues.
Meanwhile Freddy was starting to wish that he was paired up with either Daphne or Velma because all Shaggy and Scooby wanted to do was get something to eat while they were searching for clues in the Library. "Come on guys you have to take this seriously. One of our fellow students is missing and all you guys want to do is eat" Freddy angrily said. "We're sorry" said Scooby as he gave Freddy his paw and looked at him with a sad doggie face. "Like I know it's important to find the class president but we're like totally hungry" exclaimed Shaggy. "You guys are always hungry" exclaimed Freddy which Shaggy and Scooby couldn't disagree with. All of a sudden the lights in the Library went out which scared Shaggy and Scooby. After that they heard a strange noise and Freddy shouts, "Who's there? Show yourself!" Freddy should have never said that because the next thing they saw a creepy ghostly figure wearing a shredded white lab coat. Shaggy and Scooby saw the ghost and started screaming, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH A GHOST!" Freddy was frozen with fear as the ghost came closer to them and said, "GET OUT! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Shaggy Scooby and Freddy ran as fast as he could because the ghost was chasing them.
The guys ran as fast as they could trying to get away from the ghost before it got to them. Lucky for the guys they managed to find a place to hide. The ghost by passed them and went it disappeared Shaggy, Scooby Doo and Freddy came out of their hiding places and breath a side of relief. "That was close" said Scooby who was still shaking with fear. "Come on we have to find Daphne and Velma to tell them what we encountered" stated Freddy. Shaggy and Scooby wish that Velma didn't tell Mr. E that they would take the case. Shaggy believed the only reason why Velma said that was because she wanted to ask Carl out on a date. Scooby Doo knew that Shaggy still had feelings for Velma and felt bad when Shaggy chose him over her because it made Velma cry. It didn't take that long for the guys to find Velma and Daphne because they were looking for them as well. "Freddy we found a clue" exclaimed Daphne as Velma showed him Carl's glasses that they found. "I think who ever kidnapped Carl made him loose his glasses because as you can see there is a big crack on the lenses" stated Velma as she pointed to the crack. "So where ever Carl was taken he is most likely blind as a bat" Freddy exclaimed. "Just like me when I'm not wearing my glasses" said Velma. "Freddy tell them what we saw when we were searching for clues" Shaggy told him. "What did you see?" asked Daphne which Freddy answered. "There was a ghost in the library where we started looking for clues and it chased us away." "Are you serious?!" Both Daphne and Velma asked in shock. "Like yeah it was super creepy" answered Shaggy.
"I think we better go see Mr. E and asked him if he knows anything about a ghost haunting the University" said Velma as she and her friends headed to Mr. E's office because during class Mr. E mentioned that sometimes he is in his office late doing work. Lucky for the gang Mr. E was in his office making out his lesson plan for his next class. The gang knocked on the door and Mr. E answered right away and greeted his students, "Hello everyone what brings you by?" "Mr. E we found a clue while trying to solve the mystery to Carl's disappearance" said Velma as she showed her teacher Carl's broken glasses. "We believe that he was kidnapped." Mr. E was shocked to hear what Velma said but what Freddy told him next surprised him even more, "That's not all. While Shaggy, Scooby Doo and I were looking for clues in the library we saw a ghost that looked like a scientist and it came after us. Are you familiar with this ghost?" "Indeed I am" said Mr. E as he began telling the gang the story of the ghost of Miskatonic University.
