Meanwhile, back in Boomerland, Charlie, Jessica, Yogi, Boo Boo and the kids were walking down the sidewalk searching for Huckleberry Hound, Mr. Jinx and the mice.

"How long have we been walking?" asked Nancy.

"About 8 minutes" Boo Boo answered.

"How long is it before we get to Huck's place, Pop?" Mimi asked her dad.

"Patience my child" said Charlie "It could take a while."

"Ruff! Ruff!" Chu-Chu barked.

"Chu-Chu" Mimi looked at her dog "What is it boy?"

"Ruff" Chu Chu pointed to a house close by.

"We're here" said Jessica.

"Awesome!" Yogi smiled. "Let's go in!"

Inside, Huckleberry Hound was watching TV with his wife, Desert Flower and three puppies; Huck Jr, Jack and Carla. However, their quiet morning was interrupted when the doorbell rang.

"Now who could that be?" Huck walked to the front door.

He opened it and gasped. Standing on the other side were Yogi Bear and Boo Boo Bear.

"Yogi! Boo-Boo!" He exclaimed "What're you guys doing here?"

"Great to see you Huck!" said Boo-Boo.

"What luck!" Yogi added "Looks like we found Huck!"

"Great to see you as well, Huck" said Charlie.

"Morning Charlie" Huck waved to Charlie "Hey kids! Uncle Yogi, Uncle Boo-Boo and Uncle Charlie have come to visit!"

After the family went over to greet their visitors, Huck asked, "So what brings you guys here?"

"As you guys may have noticed, we are all getting paler and losing our colors" said Jessica.

"That's true" Huck looked at his hand "I do feel a little see through like and light headed."

"And everything else is getting pale as well" Desert Flower added.

"Right" Yogi Bear nodded. He and the group than took turns explaining the need to search for someone more forgotten than them as the new king of Boomerland.

"Mommy? Daddy?" Huck's kids looked at their parents with sad faces.

"Wait inside, honey" Desert Flower sadly told her children.

"Okay" the puppies walked back inside sadly.

"But why'd you come to me?" Huck asked "How can I help y'all save the world?"

"We were hoping you may help us figure out whom else was around when we were created by the Funtastic Duo." Boo Boo replied.

"Oh man," said Huck "That is a mystery y'all. There were a lot of us drawn back then. Maybe Pixie and Dixie know, they're smart, plus, they were created at the time we were."

"Yeah, we know." Yogi replied. "That's why we're here. It's been a while since we last kept in touch with Pixie and Dixie, and we were hoping you know where we might find them."

"So will you help us Huck?" Nancy asked.

"Yeah" Flim Flam said "Since I'm still prince, I want you to help us."

"Very well Flim Flam" said Huck "I can't turn down an opportunity to save the world. Desert Flower, you stay here and watch the kids. I'll be back soon."

"Be careful honey" Desert Flower held Huck's hands.

"I will" Huck kissed Desert Flower's temple. "Come on boys...and girls. Let's go round us up a couple of rodents."

"Right" Yogi nodded as Huck joins the group.

"Looks like we've got a new addition to the team" Nancy joked.

Meanwhile, the rest of Mystery Inc, the missing Chans, the Speed Buggy gang, Team Quest, the Hex Girls, Crystal and Amber arrived in the Daws Butler Woods.

"We're here gang!" said Fred.

"Daws Butler Woods" Henry looked at the woods "Sometimes, we go hiking here."

"So where's Mr. Van Ghoul's castle?" Dusk asked the gang.

"On that island" Googie pointed to the castle on a small island across the bay. "Across the bay"

"And look over there!" Suzie pointed to somewhere on the shore "Two boats over there."

"By estimating the height and width of the boats, I assume they can only fit four each," Tom said "Only eight of us can go."

"So who'll be going?" Debbie asked.

"It's actually quite simple," said Freddy "I usually make the teams, so I'll choose."

"Well before you assign us with anyone," Henry interrupted "Stanley and I are going with you!"

"After all, me and my twin brother are a team." Stanley added.

"Even if that guy can be a little annoying" Henry pointed to Stanley.

"Hey!" Stanley exclaimed.

"Fine" Fred nodded. "That leaves our group with one more guy to come with."

"That would me" said Velma "After all, I am the brains."

"No way" said Tom "I have more intellectual potential than you guys."

"No I should" said Marcie "I'm amazing at craftiness."

"No I should" Alan proclaimed "I'm a mechanical whiz"

"I can plainly see that you four want to go to the island on account of you guys are super smart" said Googie "But I think I should. I am still the beautiful queen."

"Besides, we still got the other boat." Fred also pointed out. "So you four can take that one, while Googie joins us."

"Not a bad idea" said Googie.

"How about the rest of us?" Thorn asked.

"You guys stay here and wait for us" said Velma "We'll be back very soon."

"I hope you'll make it back fast" said Anne.

"Then, we better get moving." Fred said, but just as he and his group prepares to push their boat into the water, Jonny stopped them.

"Guys, wait!" He said.

"What is it, Jonny?" Stanley asked.

"Take this radio, so we can communicate with each other." Jonny said as he handed a two-way radio to Fred.

"Good idea, Jonny." Fred nodded as he took the radio. "It may come in handy in case something goes wrong."

"That's right." Dr. Quest agreed. "Do be careful, kids."

Fred, Stanley, Henry, Tom, Alan, Marcie, Velma and Googie got into their respective boats and started to sail to the island.

"That island is about 12.4 miles away" Tom said "My theory is if we row a little faster, we might reach the island."

"When he's right, he's right" said Velma "Come on gang, lets sail faster."

"Right." Fred nodded as he, Stanley, Marcie and Velma started rowing their boats in a greater frequency.

"You know, it will help if Shag and Scooby were with us." Velma remarked as she rows the boat.

"Why's that?" Marcie asked.

"I remember one time while we were visiting Madelyn at her magical academy; we were chased by a ghost." Fred explained. "We were on an island when we encountered that ghost, and Shag, out of fright, suddenly got the strength to push the whole boat with the gang and I on board in a record speed as if we were on a speed boat."

"Shaggy and Scooby did that?" Henry asked. "How did they become so brave?"

"I guess the fright of seeing that ghost spooked them to the point that they got that superhuman strength." Fred remarked.

"Who knew chicken hearts like them had a chance?" Alan shrugged.

"But Scrappy's pretty brave too" Googie sighed "He's so brave and fearless."

"Yeah" Velma nodded. "Speaking of those three, I wonder how they are doing right now."

Just then, Marcie shouted. "Hey gang, we're almost there!"

She was pointing towards the front, and as everyone looked, they can see the castle in the horizon.

Unfortunately, some fog got in the way, so it was hard to see where they were going.

"Drat" said Marcie "That fog is in the way"

"I can't see where I'm going" Alan squinted.

Velma squinted her eyes "You're not the only one with glasses, you know."

Just then, a voice echoed from the distance "Velma, oh Velma."

Velma squinted her eyes harder and the dog started to clear, on a rock was a guy who looked just like her.

"Winsor?" She asked.

"I escaped from jail to find you" he said in a seductive way.

Just then, another voice echoed.

It was a beautiful maiden "Stanley. I adore a guy who can don some disguises and laugh at his own jokes"

"That's me, baby" Stanley looked at the maiden.

"It's hard to see in this fog" Fred squinted his eyes "Alan, do you have a flashlight?"

"Don't worry Freddy" said Alan "There's one in my po-"

A voice echoed. It was a beautiful mechanic about Alan's age "Oh Alan. I could use someone like you to fix my car."

"Whoa" Alan couldn't take his eyes of the girl "I'm your guy baby."

Fred reached into Alan's pocket and grabbed he flashlight "Alan, aren't you paying attention?"

"Yeah" said Marcie "This is serious bus-"

"Marcie" a voice echoed.

"Huh?" Marcie squinted towards where the sound came from.

It was a very handsome scientist "Marcie, come and experiment with me my darling."

"Hello gorgeous" Marcie looked at the man.

"Oh, swell." Fred muttered as he grabbed the flashlight. "Everyone's distracted by those voices!"

"Yeah, you don't say." Henry agreed.

Just then another voice echoed "Henry"

Henry turned around and saw a beautiful maiden "Whoa mama"

"Let's play drums together" she said seductively.

"I can teach you how day and night" Henry looked at the maiden.

"Will you guys pay attention?" Googie snapped her fingers "This is a matter of life and death."

"I assume they are distracted by those melodious vocals" said Tom "They can't resist-"

"Tom" another voice echoed. "Oh Tom"

"What the?" Tom rubbed his eyes under his glasses.

It was a beautiful maiden about his age "Come and help me solve the equation."

"Then let's start to divide." Tom stared lovingly at the maiden.

"I can't believe this is happening!" Fred told Googie "We are on an important mission and they're not paying attention!"

"I hope you've brought a map, Fred." Googie said. "Because if I'm not mistaken, we're sailing through the Fog of Love right now"

"The Fog of Love?" asked Fred "What's that?"

"It's a fog where people will encounter figures resembling their ideal love interest while sailing through it." Googie explained.

"So that explains why they're not focusing right now." Fred nodded.

"But there's something else you should know," Googie continued "These images are really-"

"Googie" said a voice "Over here Googie."

Googie turned around and saw Scrappy standing on a rock.

"Scrappy?" She gasped.

"This way honey" said Scrappy "I really need you now!"

"Don't worry Scrappykins" Googie started moving the boats closer to him "I'm coming."

"Oh Freddie" Daphne batted her eyelashes "You were right. Traps are wonderful, they're the best. You're always right."

"Really?" Fred blushed "Well I- Hey! Wait a minute! Daphne would never say that!"

He quickly turned on the flashlight and realized that the boat is heading towards the rocks.

"Holy moly!" He exclaimed. "It's a trap! I got to steer out of the way!"

And that wasn't the least of it. Suddenly, Daphne transformed into a sea monster of some sort.

"Oh no" He exclaimed "They're not real! They're sirens!"

But the others were too distracted by the beautiful illusions that were putting them in a daze.

"Stanley" said the maiden seducing Stanley "Come over here! I have a surprise for you."

"Oh baby" Stanley closed his eyes started to pucker his lips for a kiss.

"Stanley!" Fred gasped "No! I gotta get us outta here!"

"If Shaggy and Scooby can do this, then so can I." He muttered as he frighteningly tries to steer the boat in the opposite direction.

Fred tried with all his might to steer the boats and finally got the boats out of the fog and away from the sirens. Stanley (who was still leaning in for a kiss), fell onto Marcie and unknowingly kissed her on the lips.

"Huh?" Stanley asked when he opened his eyes and realized that he was kissing Marcie.

Just then, Marcie opened her eyes as well.

"What the-?" Marcie exclaimed when she realized that Stanley was kissing her.

Just then, the two broke the kiss.

"Why were we...kissing?" Marcie asked Stanley.

"Those people we saw were hallucinations, gang." Fred said. "And we almost crashed into a pile of sharp rocks."

"Jinkies" said Velma "I don't know what came over me."

"Yeah," Alan added "For a minute there, I could've sworn that was a real maiden."

"Thanks Freddie" said Marcie.

"You're welcome, gang." Fred nodded.

"Now let's hurry onto the castle" said Googie "We've gotta save the world!"

"Right!" Velma "Come on gang, lets skadoodle!"

And so, they carry on rowing the boat, heading for the castle.
