Atticus walked over and Mo folded her arms and glared at him with her green eyes in hatred and betrayal.
"How's Miss Dupree?" Mo asked sharply.
"She's doing great." Atticus said.
"I bet..." Mo seemed to be seething from jealousy.
Cherry nervously walked away to let Atticus and Mo have some privacy.
"Mo, are you jealous?" Atticus smirked playfully.
"No, I'm just mad that she's trying to steal you from me!" Mo threw her arms up in outrage.
"She's not going to steal me away from you." Atticus assured her.
"Uh-huh, I'd like to believe that, she's clearly hitting on you..."Mo glared.
"Mo, I think you're just jealous..." Atticus replied.
"I AM NOT!" Mo screamed in his face. "She is a beast!"
"Okay, okay, I'll stay away from her." Atticus said.
"You better..." Mo narrowed her eyes and walked off.
Atticus watched Mo go and scratched his head as he wondered what had gotten into her. Cherry went in a guest room alone to do some research on the island.
Later, Simone wanted to know why Velma, Mo, and Discord had destroyed half her kitchen. "Would you mind telling me why you destroyed half my kitchen?"
"Well, according to this book, the MAELSTROM was the name of Morgan Moonscar's pirate ship." Velma defended.
"I'm not surprised," Simone replied. "Parts of this house is quite old. The pieces of the pirate ship could've been used for construction. Morgan Moonscar was rumored to have buried treasure of this island, though it was... Never found."
"That is interesting." Discord said.
"Talk about a real mystery." Mo put her hands on her hips.
"You said it." Atticus said.
"Well, look who's mind is outside of Lena." Mo muttered.
"Mo, stop..." Atticus sighed. "There's no need to be jealous, I'd never love anyone other than you."
"Honest?" Mo asked.
"Honest, cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." Atticus said.
Mo giggled to that. "Yes, Pinkie Pie."
Atticus smirked to that, knowing it would cheer her up.
"Perhaps someone is only pretending to be this Morgan Moonscar to scare people off the island to get some sort of treasure all to themselves, hmm?" Discord suggested.
"Nope, it's definitely a real ghost, I just know it." Atticus said.
Simone seemed to glance at the term of 'ghosts'.
"You might be right," Mo said. "After meeting you and Cherry; I believe anything."
Meanwhile with Shaggy, Scooby, and Darla...
Shaggy was eating yet another pepper.
"You guys and those peppers..." Darla folded her arms. "I'm starting to think they aren't good for you."
Shaggy's eyes started to tear up from the spiciness of the peppers.
"I don't think they even know when to stop eating." Big Mona said as Darla had brought the catfish with them for more outside experience.
"That's Shaggy and Scooby all right," Darla looked back into her bowl. "Are you hungry, girl?"
"A little." Big Mona said.
"Hmm... Did Atticus conjure up any fish food?" Darla looked around the picnic.
Luckily, Darla found fish food just for Big Mona. "Here ya go."
"Careful with how much ya give, it could kill me if you overfeed me." Big Mona warned.
Darla nodded and poured enough food for the new family pet. "There ya go."
"Thanks." Big Mona smiled as she began to eat.
Darla smiled back. Scooby tried to wash the pepper down with Shaggy's sandwich, but was stopped and given potato salad as Simone's cats were coming by.
"Uh-oh, Darla, look." Big Mona said.
"Hey, get out of here!" Darla scolded the cats. "Go on, shoo!"
Scooby started to chase the cats. Some of the cats actually seemed scared of Scooby and backed off. Scooby then chased the cats into the garden which ruined it slightly.
"Uh-oh." Darla frowned at that.
"Dumb dog." Big Mona sighed.
"That grouchy gardener isn't going to be happy about this." Shaggy frowned.
"Let's go after Scooby." Big Mona said.
Darla picked up Big Mona's bowl and walked with Shaggy to catch up with Scooby.
Scooby kept on chasing the cats.
The cats went into an old log which led Scooby into it and he got stuck due to how big he was and slipped against mud.
"Oh, Scooby." Darla sighed.
The cats laughed at Scooby. Scooby struggled to get himself free from the log.
"Just give up." Big Mona sighed.
Darla set the bowl down and tried to pull Scooby out. Scooby continued to try to get free. Darla struggled until they two then flung back and ended up in the mud which made the cats laugh harder. A frog then hopped onto Darla's head and croaked.
"Oh, brother." Big Mona sighed.
"At least you're not laughing." Darla sighed to the catfish.
"True." Big Mona nodded.
Once Scooby got free, he continued to chase the cats.
"Scooby Doo, you stop that!" Darla cried out.
"He doesn't seem to be listening." Big Mona said.
"Dogs..." Darla sighed. "Why can't they all be good like Patch?"
"I have no idea." Big Mona sighed back.
"You could try to help." Darla narrowed her eyes to the lazy catfish.
"Oh, sure and in the process, I die from being out of the water!" Big Mona glared.
"Well, excuse me!" Darla glared back, then groaned. "Oh, my gosh, I'm arguing with a fish..."
They soon lost track of Scooby.
"Scooby...?" Darla called nervously and worriedly. She soon saw Scooby and Shaggy running away from something and where she got her answer as she saw the warthog from before charging at them and her. She picked up Big Mona's bowl and ran with her with a scream.
"Why is that thing chasing us?!" Big Mona screamed before glaring at Scooby. "What did you do?!"
"Ruthin'!" Scooby frowned as they ran for their lives.
"Just keep running!" Darla screamed.
The pig snorted violently as he chased then down.
"At least it can't get worse." Darla said.
Big Mona rolled her eyes. "Ask and shall receive."
They soon fell in a hole.
"Told ya." Big Mona smirked.
The pig snorted in victory as they were now trapped in the hole.
"Zoinks!" Shaggy cried. "How humiliating."
"You can say that again." Darla groaned.
The pig shoved big amounts of mud and grime against the fallen others before going off.
"Hey, BLT! I just got my hair done!" Darla glared while shaking her fist.
"Let's get out of here." Big Mona said.
Shaggy started to climb out. "Like, hang on, I'll have us out in a sec."
"Ri rope so." Scooby commented.
"Same here." Big Mona agreed.
Shaggy grabbed onto a root and pulled onto it to get himself up to the top.
"That root is dead." Darla said.
A skeletal arm then grabbed down.
Darla yelped and grabbed the arm. "Don't scare me like-" she then looked to see it was a bone and her eyes widened. "Uh, guys... I think we're buried in a grave."
"Like, what makes you think that?" Shaggy asked.
Darla showed the bony arm. "Uh, this was a tip."
There was then suddenly a misty green aura.
"Uh-oh..." Big Mona said out of fear.
"W-W-What's th-th-that?" Darla gulped as she shivered at the green aura.
"L-L-Like, I have no idea." Shaggy shivered.
The skeleton arm then seemed to move as it was going back to the bony body it came from. This seemed to frighten the four of them. The skeleton then came to life with a cold and old corpse with a moon-shaped scar on his face.
"MORGAN MOONSCAR!" Shaggy, Scooby, and Darla yelped.
"Get us out of here!" Big Mona screamed.
"What do you want me to do about it?!" Darla asked the catfish.
"You and Shaggy get all four of us out of this grave!" Big Mona begged.
Scooby and Shaggy were able to jump out due to their extreme fear.
"Hey, wait up!" Darla yelped, then shivered at the decaying pirate zombie. "Oh, man... 'Scuse me!" she then jumped high on top of the corpse's head and jumped out back onto the higher ground and followed Shaggy and Scooby as she carried the bowl in her hands.
"Don't look back! Whatever you do, don't look back!" Big Mona told her.
"I'll try not to!" Darla replied as she tried not to spill out any water while holding onto the fish's bowl. And where luckily, none of it did.
The gardener was on his way out of the house until Shaggy and Scooby bumped into him and Darla skid on her feet and came to a screeching halt.
"Whoa." Big Mona said.
"Like, are we ever glad to see you!" Shaggy said.
"What are you doing out here?" Beau asked. "Ruining more of my flowerbeds?"
"If you want to plant something, like, there's a dead guy following us!" Shaggy cried out.
"Reah! Read ruy!" Scooby added in.
"Yeah and it's Morgan Moonscar!" Darla added.
"Where?" Beau looked around. "I don't see anything."
There was then rustling in the bushes which worried everyone instantly.
"It's him!" Big Mona screamed.
It was actually the rest of the gang.
"What's going on, guys?" Velma asked.
"We could hear your screams back at Simone's place." Mo said.
"Like, it was horrible!" Shaggy cried out. " "That pirate Moonscar was, like, nothing but bones! And then-and then, it was worse... Like a zombie!"
Scooby then imitated a zombie to prove Shaggy's point.
"It was so gross and scary." Darla pouted.
"Whoa!" Mo gasped.
"Oh, dear." Simone sounded slightly worried.
"Where did you see him?" Cherry asked.
Shaggy, Scooby, and Darla then led the way over to where they saw the zombie.
The moment they got there, they didn't see any zombies.
"Well, there's nothing in here now," Fred said. "Are you sure you saw a zombie?"
"Like, we know a zombie when we see one." Shaggy defended.
"Reah, rombie." Scooby added in.
"He was this close to eating our brains!" Darla frowned.
"I think you've been watching too many scary movies, kiddo." Cherry said.
"Well, there's nothing in this hole now." Atticus said.
Beau came right behind them.
Cherry glared over to him. "And what are YOU doing here?!"
"My jobs," Beau replied with a glare back. "I was doing some planting, got thirsty, went to get a drink and I came back to find THESE guys."
"What were you planting, elephants?" Cherry deadpanned due to how big the hole was.
"She's right, that hole is huge." Mo said.
Cherry folded her arms with a smirk. Beau simply frowned firmly. He then grabbed his shovel and took his leave.
"He sure is suspicious." Discord said.
Cherry looked up. "It's getting late, I think we should turn in for the night."
"Agreed." Atticus nodded.
"Get going?!" Daphne asked them in surprise. ""No way! This place gets more interesting by the minute!"
"What is WITH YOU?!" Cherry glanced at her.
"This place is getting too scary." Darla said.
"I'm afraid the ferry doesn't run at night." Simone told her guests.
"Like, we do." Shaggy replied.
"It's true." Patch said.
"We have plenty of rooms," Simone insisted. "You could stay for the night."
"Thank you, Simone." Atticus smiled.
"Lena could make us dinner." Cherry said.
Mo then grabbed Cherry by the throat. "I'll supervise."
Cherry coughed and gagged.
"Um, why don't I cook?" Atticus suggested.
"I'll still supervise..." Mo said as she tightened her grip.
Cherry pointed to herself choking as she was stuck.
"Mo, please let Cherry go..." Atticus said nervously. "I think you're cutting off her blood circulation."
"Oops, sorry." Mo said before letting go of Cherry.
Cherry gasped for air and panted. Drell came behind Cherry and slapped her on the back.
"I'M NOT CHOKING!" Cherry gasped.
"Sorry." Drell said.
"I don't think you are..." Cherry rubbed her sore back.
Darla came over to Simone. "Maybe we could use Nana Charlotte's friend's gumbo recipe."
"That sounds like a marvelous idea." Simone said.
"It's quite good." Darla smiled before sighing. "Too bad Nana Charlotte's not here..." she then looked sad about her biological grandmother being unable to be here this time.
They soon went back to the house.
