In the Mystery Machine...

Shaggy helped Darla up since she was a little girl after all into the van.

"Thanks, Shaggy." Darla replied.

"Well, at least we won't have any cats coming in here to eat any of our food," Patch said. "Well almost, since Maisy will be joining us."

"I heard my name." Maisy smiled.

"Maisy?" the others asked.

"Hello." Maisy mewed and nuzzled up against Darla.

Darla hugged her kitten. "Hey, girl."

"Yeah, she wanted to come along." Patch said.

"Rat!" Scooby glared.

"Don't you dare!" Darla glared back as she held her kitten protectively.

"Scooby, you can trust Maisy." Patch said.

Scooby gave a warning look and did his best to remain calm.

"What's for supper?" Maisy asked.

"Gumbo from Miss Tia's recipe that Nana Charlotte gave me." Darla smiled.

"Mm, Gumbo." Maisy smiled.

Shaggy offered biscuits to Scooby which only made the Great Dane eat the whole plate.

"Scooby! Save some food for us." Patch scolded.

"Like, something tells me he's getting the best of the meal." Shaggy replied.

"I agree." Darla said.

The other cats mewed outside and stared at them from hanging from trees. Maisy hissed and jumped to a window ot make the other cats mind their own business.

"Get out of here, you hairballs!" Maisy hissed.

"Here, I'll take us somewhere else." Shaggy decided to drive the van elsewhere to get away from the cats.

"Please make it quick." Maisy said.

Shaggy then started the van and drove them away from the other cats.

"See ya later, you hairballs!" Maisy called out to the other cats that fell off.

The other cats looked angry and annoyed with her. Maisy giggled as she then came back to Darla.

"Those cats deserved that." Darla said.


Meanwhile inside the house...

"What I'd like to find out is why these ghosts wants us off the island." Velma spoke up.

"Maybe they're trying to warn us." Atticus said.

"About someone else who might be dangerous..." Cherry muttered.

"What was that, dear?" Simone asked.

"Um, nothing..." Cherry said. "I had something in my throat."

"Oh... Alright." Simone said.

Cherry glanced at the blonde woman.

"I'm sure everything's okay..." Mo sounded anxious suddenly.

"Yeah." Big Mona said.

Discord and Cherry shared a knowing look however.


Meanwhile back with Shaggy, Scooby, Patch, Darla, and Maisy...

Shaggy had parked the van near a swamp.

"Think we'll meet Shrek?" Darla joked since they were close to a swamp.

"I think he lives in a different swamp." Maisy added in.

"Oh, come on, it was only a joke." Darla shrugged.

"I know." Maisy smiled.

Shaggy then took out more of the infamous peppers.

"No way." Patch denied.

"Keep 'em, I'm sick of peppers..." Darla put her hand up in dismissal.

"No thanks." Maisy said.

"Like, suit yourselves." Shaggy shrugged as he ate peppers with Scooby anyway.

"Three... Two... One." Darla sighed as she then knew that the two would cry from the intense heat from the vegetable. And where she was right as the two soon ran out of the Mystery Machine to get a drink of water.

Scooby smirked to show that he hadn't chewed his peppers.

"Cheater." Patch said.

"Hey, no fair!" Shaggy panted. "What's the matter, chicken?"

"Ruh-uh!" Scooby shook his head and then ate the pepper.

"And the peppers kick in right about... Now." Patch cued.

This made Shaggy and Scooby both drink from the swamp.

"Yuck..." Maisy stuck her tongue out.

"That's interesting." Darla winced.

Patch rolled his eyes, but then his eyes widened. "Z-Z-Zombie!"

"Oh, no, not again." Darla said.

The zombies came out and they appeared to be dressed like Confederate soldiers. A few of the other zombies looked like they were tourists.

"Guys, get back in here!" Patch called out

Shaggy and Scooby screamed once they saw the zombies and ran into the van as the zombies emerged from the swamp.

"Quick, get this thing started." Maisy said.

Shaggy went to the driver's seat and quickly started it so they could drive away from the zombies.

"I hate zombies!" Patch exclaimed.

"I think we all do right about now!" Maisy agreed.

Shaggy soon drove off with them all.

"Whew! Like, I think we ditched 'em, guys."

A zombie then came onto the roof which made them all scream instantly.

"Drive! Drive! Drive!" Patch begged.

Shaggy tried to drive off, but the tire ended up getting stuck in the mud.

"Oh, come on!" Darla complained.


Back in the dining room, there was pecan pie passed around.

"Mm." Atticus smiled.

Fred seemed to enjoy the pie more than everyone else. "Hey, maybe we should do a segment of Lena's pecan pie, Daph, it's supernatural!"

"You're so corny!" Daphne retorted.

"It's okay, I guess." Atticus shrugged.

Shaggy, Scooby, Patch, Maisy, and Darla's screams were then heard.

"Now what?" Cherry sighed in slight deadpan.

"The zombies must be attacking." Big Mona said.

"I told you the hauntings are just beginning." Simone said as the cat jumped from her lap.

"We'll have to go out and save them." Mo said.

Fred got his camera and went out with everyone to help Scooby, Shaggy, Darla, and Patch.

"Lena, get them some lanterns." Simone said.

"Right away," Lena said before grabbing Atticus's arm. "But please, Atticus, you must be careful."

"Trust me, I can handle anything that this island has to throw at me." Atticus said.

Lena then let him go so she could get the lanterns by Simone's request.

"You sure are keeping your cool." Big Mona smiled.

They did not see anyone, but they only saw van tracks and decided to follow them.

"These look just like the Mystery Machine's tire tracks." Mo said.

"Follow the tracks." Big Mona decided.

"Why did we bring that fish again?" Discord asked.

"She's my pet." Atticus reminded.

"Oh, right." Discord groaned.

Beau was then shown after they called for Shaggy, Scooby, Darla, and Patch.

"Beau? What are you doing out here?" Mo asked.

"And where's Scooby, Shaggy, Darla, and Patch?" Atticus firmly demanded, moslty about Darla and Patch.

"Your crazy friends are running through the bayou screaming about zombies," Beau explained. "I didn't see any."

Big Mona started to glare at him.

"You never do," Velma also glared. "And you're never around when those ghosts and zombies are around."

"Yeah." Mo glared.

"Save it for another time, guys, we have to find Scooby and Shaggy." Cherry said.

"And my puppy and little sister..." Atticus sounded aggressively protective.

"We should split up." Mo said.

"Just what I was thinking." Fred agreed.

"I'll go with Beau." Daphne decided.

"Bad idea." Fred said.

"I'll go with Beau," Velma then decided. "I won't let him out of my sight."

"Should someone go with you two?" Big Mona asked.

"Well, I'll go with Atticus, so if anything tries to hurt me, he can hurt it back." Cherry said.

"Really?" Mo asked.

"You'd rather fend for yourself?" Cherry replied.

"You were the one that wanted Atticus to go with you." Discord said to Cherry.

"I've known Atticus for seven years." Cherry defended.

"Alright." Discord sighed.

Cherry decided to take Big Mona's bowl as Mo decided to go with them.

"I'll go with Velma and Beau." Discord said.

"I suppose you'll go with Daphne." Cherry smirked to Fred.

"Of course I will." Fred said.

"Mm-hmm~" Cherry hummed as she carried her friend's new fish bowl.

"Anyway, time to split up." Discord said.

With that, they all split up as suggested which was often a normal case for Mystery Inc.
