Charlie, Jessica, the kids, Huck, Yogi and Boo Boo made it to Mr. Jinks' house.

"Here we are gang" said Huck "Mr. Jinks' house. We are bound to find him here."

"Alright, here goes nothing." Yogi remarked as he and Boo Boo walked over to knock on the door.

After a few minutes, two mice walked out from underneath the door.

"Pixie! Dixie!" Jessica exclaimed "Aww you guys look so cute."

"Why I'll be Pixie," said Dixie "It's our friends; Yogi Bear, Huck Hound and Boo Boo."

"Great to see ya" Pixie reached out his hand.

"It's great to see you guys as well," Cavey Jr shook Pixie's hand.

"So what brings you guys down here?" Dixie asked the gang.

The gang wasted no time updating the two mice on the urgent need to find a new king.

"Now that explains why we're fading." Dixie remarked.

"Yeah" said Pixie "I have been feeling a little washed out recently."

"So that's why we need your help" said Charlie "If we don't find a new king, all is lost."

"But we only need one more person and that is Mr. Jinks" said Mimi "Is he home?"

"Sorry Mimi," said Pixie "But Jinks went fishing at Daws Butler Woods with his son."

"We have to get there and warn him" said Charlie.

"Then, it's to the Daws Butler Woods, then." Yogi announced. "Off we go, Moe."

"But Yogi," said Boo Boo "We have to drive there."

"Yeah" said Nancy "And we left the Chan Van back downtown."

"Sheesh, I forgot about that." Yogi remarked. "So how do we get there?"

"We can either walk downtown or call us a bus or a cab" said Jessica.

"Well, if we want to get there faster, we better either take the bus or call a taxi." Charlie said.

"I say we go on a bus, we're not all gonna fit into one big taxi" Jessica said.

"A bus it is then" Charlie said.

"Then, let's go." Pixie said, and the gang headed off for the nearest bus stop.

Finally, Fred, Velma, Marcie, Googie, Henry, Stanley, Tom and Alan made it to the distant island on the other side of the bay where Mr. Van Ghoul's castle was.

"Here we gang" said Velma.

"Mr. Van Ghoul's castle," Googie said "Now come on. Let's go."

"Right." Fred nodded as they got off their boats and made their way through the beach.

After several minutes of walking, they finally found Mr. Van Ghoul's castle.

"Here we are gang" said Googie "Mr. Van Ghoul's castle."

"Let's go guys" said Marcie "We need that book!"

They made their way to the front door and knocked on it. No one answered it.

"Looks like no one's home" said Henry.

"I've got an idea!" Tom snapped his fingers "Would you seven take a gander up there please?"

They looked up and saw an open window on the castle.

"There's an open window!" Velma exclaimed "But how are we gonna get up there?"

"By measuring the height and structure of the building, I assume if we increase our size and try to balance our weight, we will reach our destination" Tom explained.

"Meaning" Googie raised an eyebrow.

"He's saying we should stack ourselves up and we should be tall enough to reach the window" said Marcie "Right Tom?"

"Why yes" Tom said.

Yeah, but we're going to need someone who is strong enough to hold the weight of others at the bottom while we stack ourselves up." Fred said.

At that moment, everyone looked at him with strange looks on their faces.

"Uh...did I just say something, guys?" Fred asked.

A few minutes later, he was at the bottom of the stack trying to hold the weight of his teammates while everyone else stacks up.

"Me and my big mouth" Fred muttered as Velma starts climbing up the stack.

Soon, everyone was stacked upon each other. Tom was on top.

"Okay Tom," said Velma "Climb into the window."

Tom climbed into the window and Googie followed him. Unfortunately, the others lost their balance and fell down.

"Are you guys alright?" Googie asked as she and Tom looked down.

"I believe we are, but I don't know about Fred." Marcie replied.

"Don't remind me" Fred tried to get up.

"Well, now let's see if Mr. Van Ghoul is home." Tom said.

"Oh Mr. Van Ghoul" Googie called out "Where are you?"

"Come out wherever you are" Tom added.

The duo looked around, hoping to find the warlock in his castle, but they couldn't find him at all.

"I don't see Mr. Van Ghoul anywhere" said Googie "Maybe we should check his library for the book. That's where he keeps his books."

"Excellent idea, Googie" said Tom "But we must gather our allies for assistance."

"Good idea" said Googie "We'd better get your brothers, Fred, Marcie and Velma."

Googie and Tom then walked to the front door where the others were waiting for them.

"Any luck?" Marcie asked as they entered the castle.

Googie shook her head. "We couldn't find him anywhere."

"Sure." Googie agreed. "Perhaps we will just stick with our boatmates to make things faster."

"So Stanley, Henry, you guys and Googie go with Fred," Velma said. "While the rest of the group comes with me."

"That's my girl" Marcie smiled at Velma.

"You guys check the east side of the castle and the rest of us will check the west side." Henry told them.

"Got it" said Velma.

They all split up and searched the castle. Meanwhile, back on the shore of the lake, the rest of the group was waiting anxiously.

"What's holding up sis?" Madelyn wondered.

"They better not are horsing around in there, because it seems like we're losing more color by the minute." Race commented as he looked at his fading watch.

"Maybe we should go after them" said Anne "I mean, we can't just sit here and do nothing!"

17h ago"Yes, but how?" Jonny asked. "They've took the two boats and I don't think Speed Buggy can travel on water, can he?"

17h ago"Sure he can" Tinker pressed a button on Speed Buggy's remote and his wheels were replaced with boat stuff.

"Now that's something you don't see every day" Suzie remarked.

"Right" Debbie nodded. "Now, we got to decide who goes, since Speedy can't carry all of us to the island castle."

"About f-f-five to be ex-a-a-act" Speedy stated.

"Obviously Debbie, Tinker and I are going" said Mark "After all, we know how to work him."

"Suzie and I are going too" Anne added.

"What're you talking about Anne?" Suzie asked "Why us?"

"Cause we are women!" Anne stated "And we have our rights! As I said before, this is girl's country! Plus, we Chans gotta stick together!"

"Well, if you say so." Suzie rolled her eyes.

"Does Speedy have a radio on board?" Dr. Quest asked as the five boarded the buggy.

"Yes he does, Doctor." Tinker nodded. "Do you need us to inform the others that we're coming?"

"Yes" said Dr. Quest "They're gonna be asking some questions. Now go quick! We are running out of time!"

"Right" Mark exclaimed "Okay Speedy, to the castle!"

"You got it!" Speed Buggy said "Sp-sp-sp-ZOOM!"

And so, the buggy, converted into a boat, zoomed off down the lake.

At that moment, Dr. Quest called into his radio. "Dr. Quest calling Fred. Can you read me?"

Just then, the radio in Fred's pocket went off. Luckily, he was carrying it with him in the castle.

"Oh snap" he took the radio "That's the radio! Talk to me!"

"Dr. Quest calling Fred" Dr. Quest's voice called through the radio. "Can you read me?"

"I can read you, loud and clear, Doctor." Fred replied. "What's up?"

"Tinker, Debbie, Mark, Anne and Suzie are riding on Speed Buggy on their way to join your group on the island." The doctor replied.

"Oh, really? I'd better have someone at the shore to meet them." Fred replied. He was about to hang up when he remembered something.

"Oh, one more thing, Doc," he quickly said "There's something very important for them."

"What is it?" Dr. Quest asked.

"Warn them about the Fog of Love." Fred replied. "It's a fog that has hallucinations of anyone's love interest projected near sharp rocks, and those hallucinations lure people into a trap!"

"Oh my" said Dr. Quest "Be sure to warn them!"

"I will!" Fred spoke into the radio "Fred Jones over and out."
