Back at the castle, the mood in the later part of the coronation ceremony was a somber one after the other heroes learned of Shelly and Brenda's deaths.

"Jinkies" Velma said "That's horrible."

"I barley even knew Brenda," Dusk said "And even a soulless blonde like myself finds this news unbearable!"

Bubbles started to sob "Sh-sh-Shelly was my best friend in the whole world and now she's gone"

Bubbles buried her face into Biff's chest started to cry her heart out.

"I can't believe they're gone" Suzie sadly said "Shelly was the lead singer in a band, just like me, and we lead singers gotta look out for each other. And I wasn't there to look out for her."

"She had the most angelic singing voice ever" Bubbles cried harder "She was an angel"

"This is all my fault" Biff sniffed a tear "I should've stopped her from fighting Manta."

"No this is my fault" said Jabberjaw "I should've been the brave shark I was supposed to be and protected her."

"Brenda's gone" Skip silently cried "It's all my fault. I was supposed to not let her out of my sight, but I didn't and now I've lost her forever. We were supposed to get married, but now we won't."

"No buddy" Augie put his hand on Skip's shoulder "It was my fault for showing off. You're my best friend and I shouldn't have put fighting in the way."

"No" Mudsy sadly said "It was my fault for being a pathetic coward."

"We were all going to be a family and now we won't" April weeped "I miss Brenda so much."

"And I should've come up with a plan before we fought those Sinistro's" Taffy sadly said.

"Brenda was...my little sister" Dee Dee sobbed "She may have been a coward, but she was my coward. She was a beautiful singer and my best friend."

Dusk walked up to Mystery Inc and confronted them "You! This is all your fault!"

"Our fault?" Velma asked "Why?"

"You guys abandoned Scrappy and Flim Flam!" Dusk pointed out "If you hadn't ditched them, none of this would've happened!"

"Yeah!" Jessica said "If you guys weren't such insensitive, self abosrbed jerks, maybe Ruff and Reddy would be already be king, then Brenda and Shelly wouldn't have died!"

"Yeah!" Thorn said "You're the worst!"

"I can't believe you would abandon your own son!" Jessica poked Daphne in the chest "Not that you care anyways! All you care about is yourself and your stupid career!"

"And how dare you beat up Shelly, Fred?!" Biff added when he saw the blonde. "Forget about what the rest of them said, you're the absolute worst!"

"Like, we probably should have seen this coming, Scoob." Shaggy whispered to Scooby as their allies turned on their friends.

"Now, come on, Biff..." Fred defended himself as a mob rushes towards him and the girls. "I didn't mean to...I swear!"

"Forget it!" Skip replied. "You're simply a bossy, single-minded jerk who cares only about mystery-solving and traps."

"And if you loved Daphne, Fred, why didn't you ask her to marry you?" Jessica added.

Turning to Scooby, Scrappy and Flim Flam, Shaggy said, "Like, this sure is going to turn ugly if we don't do something, guys."

"'We'?" Flim Flam asked. "Why should I care? Daphne abandoned me! What should I care for someone who only thinks of herself and her career and not her child? In fact, you should be ashamed of yourself for your treatment of Googie, Shaggy!"

"All you do is eat, eat, eat, eat!" Googie told Shaggy "What about me? You barley even acknowledged my presence and just ate like the disgusting pig you are!"

"Yeah" Jabberjaw said "You definitely have no respect for anyone!"

"And Velma!" Dee-Dee poked Velma in the nose "You think you know everything and you're the greatest just because you're a genius! All you do is act like you're the smartest person in the world and that you're great and always right! Well here's something for you, you square lensed brat; if you're so smart Velma, why are you terrible and always wrong?"

As the gang faced a mob of angry toons, Scooby and Scrappy found themselves next to Tom and Jerry.

Tom and Jerry both shook their heads at them.

"I think they're saying that you guys should leave and never come back!" Scrappy told Scooby.

"Really?" Scooby asked Scrappy.

"Right" Scrappy bitterly said "And quite frankly, that's what I'm thinking too!"

Scooby gasped and he was speechless.

"Then, I guess that's what I'm doing then." Scooby said sadly before racing off to pick up his friends.

Watching Scooby picking up his friends and leaving, Tom and Jerry looked at each other and shrugged.

Over at a cliff far away from the castle, Mystery Inc. found themselves in a terrible situation as they sat and watched the waves.

"Like, some plan to move into Boomerland and live here." Shaggy remarked as he tossed a pebble into the ocean.

"I can't believe that our friends will do this to us." Daphne said as she sat with Shaggy and Scooby. "After what we did to defeat Dr. Zin and Jenny, now look at us."

"Yeah" Velma added "They should be grateful!"

"I don't know what to say." Scooby remarked.

"Maybe we're better off mystery solving and not having friends or families or normal lives" Velma said "Let's just go home."

Back in the castle, the other allies were still angry at the gang. The Teen Angels, the Neptune's, the Funky Phantom kids, the Chans, Jessica and Madelyn were still cross with Mystery Inc. The other allies went home.

"You know," Biff said "I was just going to slap Fred, but I think I'll do something worse!"

"Frankly, I don't mind never seeing Velma again!" Madelyn told them "She's my sister! She's supposed to always think about me, but all she thought about was being a stupid detective! She hardly ever visited or made time for me and stole Shaggy from me behind my back! I don't get why I even fell for him, he's just a disgusting, cowardly chauvinist pig! For all I care, she can have that idiot all to herself!"

"Well, at least we've seen the last of them." Skip said. "After what we went through, those losers are no longer welcomed here."

"I don't know." Mudsy said. He had a neutral expression on his face. "I've got this feeling that we may not see the last of them. In fact, there's a loose end I kept thinking about."

It was then that the groups saw the Sword of Fate, inclined against the wall.

"What loose end, Mudsy?" Augie asked. "Don't tell me you're going to try to defend them for their actions!"

"Now don't jump to any conclusions, Augie. No, I'm not defending them" Mudsy said "I just have a funny feeling that we might see them again, much to our displeasure."

"Well regardless, the more we never see them again, the better" Anne said "They were the ones who sent that ink monster here in the first place!"

"Anne is right" Flim Flam's face turned red and was soaking with tears "We don't need them! They're a bunch of selfish jerks who think nothing of us and act like we never existed, especially me."

Flim-Flam started to cry into his knees harder, he couldn't believe his mother would do this to him. Nancy looked at him and hugged him while some tears fell out of her eyes.

"Well, it's funny how they keep returning over the time, even though we're still angry about what they had done to us." Mudsy remarked. "If they don't care about us, why do they keep returning and helped us save this world? If they were really that selfish, then they could've cared less about us and just go through with their normal lives."

"Probably cause they got nothing better to do" Bubbles rolled her eyes.

"I guess so" Mudsy sighed.

"Well whatever" Augie said "Come on guys. Let's go home. We've got a memorial service to prepare."

Tom and Jerry were the remaining characters left in the castle as the rest of the heroes cleared out of it. They both looked at each other and decided to follow their friends to the service. However, Tom couldn't help but kept thinking of a loose end on their way to the service.

Meanwhile up in Heaven, Shelly and Brenda were shocked as the two figures approached them.

Brenda gasped "You're...them."

"I don't believe it" Shelly gasped as well "You guys are..."

"The Funtastic Duo!" the girls said at the same time.

"Golly" Brenda said to the duo "You guys look just like your statues."

"This is the most awesome thing that's happened to me" Shelly added.

The duo nodded and shook hands with their creations.

"We're very pleased to meet you two" Brenda told them "And we're glad we're here in Heaven with you two."

"See you around, oh great creators" Shelly waved goodbye to the duo.

The two angels smiled and waved goodbye to the newcomers. Just then, Brenda and Shelly spotted four other Angels; a beautiful woman and her three little girls.

"Shelly look!" She pointed to the four Angels "A mother and her daughters."

"Wow" Shelly said "That's horrible that those little girls have died so young."

"Why don't we go meet them and ask them about it?" Brenda suggested "I hope they didn't lose somebody they unconditionally loved too."

They flew over to the angel woman and her daughters.

"Hi!" The woman greeted the two girls. "You must be new here."

"We are." Brenda nodded. "I'm Brenda."

"And I'm Shelly." Shelly added. "Nice to meet you, and your daughters are quite cute."

"Thanks" said the woman "I'm Amelia Muddlemore and these are my daughters; Maggie, Sarah and Jeanette."

"Hello" Jeanette said quietly.

"Sup?" Maggie folded her arms.

"Charmed, I'm sure" Sarah added.

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Amelia" Brenda shook Amelia's hand.

"Likewise" Amelia shook Brenda's hand.

"You guys are so young," Shelly said "What're you four doing here? What happened?"

"Well, it happened a long while ago." Amelia said. "We actually lived during the time of the Thirteen Colonies in British North America."

"Wow." Shelly whistled. "So what happened?"

"Well, long story short, I met a young man by the name of Jonathan who I loved deeply." Amelia took a breath before continuing. "We married and had our three beautiful daughters and adopted a cat who the girls named Boo."

"That's wonderful." Brenda remarked. "You must be happy together as a family."

"We were, until the war broke out and the redcoats arrived." Amelia continued sadly. "They set our house on fire, and I tried to get the girls while Jonathan got Boo out - He felt like a son to us - but we weren't able to make it out of the fire in time, and before you know it, we're here after meeting Hades."

"Golly, that's terrible" Brenda said "He must've been really depressed."

"So what's your story, ladies?" Maggie asked.

"Well I was fighting these villains in an undersea world with my teammates" Shelly explained "When all of a sudden the bad guy stabbed me in the chest and next thing I know, I've blacked out."

"Dang" Sarah said "That's horrible. What about you, Brenda? What's your story?"

"Same story here, except that one of those villains tortured me because I couldn't aim properly." Brenda said. "Before you know it, everything went black."

"Golly." Maggie remarked. "At least you are now in a better world with us."

"Yeah, although our friends, particularly our loves, must be missing us." Shelly remarked.

"Say, I don't know why but the name Muddlemore sounds familiar." Brenda said. "What does your husband Jonathan and cat Boo look like?"

"Here's a family painting that will show you the answer." Sarah replied as her mother took out a painting.

The family painting consisted of Amelia, her husband, Sarah, Maggie, Jeanette and their family cat.

"You guys look so happy" Brenda gushed at the painting.

"Hey wait a minute!" Shelly snapped her fingers "Brenda! Look! Amelia's husband! Do you know who that is?"

Brenda took a closer look before realizing, "Why, it's Mudsy!"

"You know Jonathan?" Amelia asked.

"His ghost." Brenda nodded. "Our friends went on an adventure one time and they opened a grandfather clock, which led to two ghosts getting freed. One of them was your husband and the other is Boo!"

"Yeah" Shelly said "They nicknamed him 'Mudsy' because of his last name, of course."

Brenda snapped her fingers "So that would mean that you guys are his deceased family!"

"Did ever mention us?" Maggie asked.

"No" Brenda said "He never does. But I think that's because he's sad about losing you and the girls, Ms. Amelia."

"Gee," Shelly said "I always thought he was just a big coward. But now I think I know why."

"He misses you and the girls, Ms. Amelia" Brena told Amelia "He's probably been traumatized by your tragic deaths and never being able to see you again."

"That's why he's scared all the time" Shelly's voice grew soft "He loves you four and his biggest wish is to have you back, a wish he knows will never come true."

"Daddy" Jeanette got tears in her eyes and silently started to sob.

Brenda kneeled down to comfort the sobbing girl while Brenda wondered what their friends were up to at that moment.

Author's Note:

Boy, Brenda and Shelly's deaths have not only affected the Neptune's, the Teen Angels and the Funky Phantom gang, but their deaths have also affected Mystery Inc's relationship with the other Hanna-Barbera detective teams, Flim-Flam, Madelyn and Jessica. Looks like they're not going to retire and live in Boomerang Land after all, and it doesn't even look like they'll ever see their HB family again, after what just happened. However, Mudsy and Tom have some sort of feeling this isn't the end. Is this the end?
