The family were in the house today just relaxing, there was nothing on the agenda for today. Aside from a light cleaning that Muriel was doing, which apparently involved vacuuming the curtains, Courage was making balloon animals together on the floor, while Shaggy and Scooby were eating snacks and watching Courage.
Muriel stopped cleaning for a bit before turning to Courage, "Beautiful work Courage."
"Amazing balloon animals little pink dude," Shaggy complimented, as he gave a scratch behind Courage's ear.
"Rou have real talent," Scooby added, with a smile.
"Thanks. It's all in an artist's work,"Courage said with a chuckle, as he made a balloon duck, placing it down, Courage admired the others that he made as well.
Suddenly, Eustace, not caring, walked over the balloons and destroyed them.
"My work!" Courage whimpered sadly, seeing his balloon animal destroyed.
"Ron't worry Rourage, you can always make more balloon animals," Scooby assured, as he picked up Courage, who look like he was about to cry.
"Okay, next time, I'm putting them on the table just in case they don't pop," Courage said, as he sniff a little.
Eustace groaned in pain while he sat down on his chair while holding his back in pain, as a loud cracking sound came from it. "My backs killing me, I ain't got no pep, no moxie. It's getting so, I don't even have the energy to kick those stupid dogs!"
"Don't even think about it, Uncle Eustace!" Shaggy spat at his uncle.
"I know how your feeling Eustace, the works just keep getting harder," Muriel said agreeing as she turned off the vacuum, she then turned to the window and saw white things falling from the sky. "Oh, my, is it snowing already?"
"Like, in the middle of summer?" Shaggy asked.
"Summer snow, you can never predict it," Courage commented, as he jumped off Scooby's arms.
"Rut still, it's snow," Scooby pointed out.
"Which means…" Shaggy began, before shouting in excitement, "Snow Day!"
"Yay!" Courage cheered.
"Roh boy!" Scooby barked happily.
"Let's go out and play!" Shaggy told the two dogs happily.
At that moment, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage went upstairs and cane back downstairs wearing their winter coats. They all went out the door.
Courage was trying to make a snowball, only to fail when he realized it was not snow. "Wait a minute, snow isn't made from paper-OOF!" he said, before getting a piece of paper flowing to his face.
"RI got it," Scooby said, as he got the paper off his face, before he and his best friends reading it. "Live longer live better/Rive longer live better,"
"Like, how exactly?" Shaggy questioned.
"Hmm," Courage asked, also trying to figure out what it means.
"Rook up there!" Scooby said, as he pointed up the sky.
Looking over to the pink beagle, Courage and Shaggy saw his point to the sky. Looking to where he was pointing, Shaggy and Courage saw an old plane that looked like it would break apart any moment, from it, tons of paper like the one Courage caught came out of it.
Not to mention, a large smoke trail that seemed to indicate engine failure or something.
"Huh?" Courage asked, confused when he and his best friends saw the pilot start using a smoke trail to write in the sky.
"Live longer. Live better," Shaggy read the message in the sky.
"Any ideas, what that means guys?" Courage asked.
"I hadn't gotten a clue," Shaggy shrugged.
"Re either," Scooby replied, also confused.
The plane created a giant smoke cloud that blackened out the sky completely.
"Zoinks, It's coming right this way!"Shaggy shouted, when he and his best friends, saw the plane started losing control and head towards them.
Shaggy quickly grabbed Scooby and moved to the side, while dived in the other direction. However, the plane changed direction mere centimeters from having the propellers tear Courage to shreds, after it passed, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage looked up and saw the pilot fly right into the windmill, destroying the plane and windmill.
A moment later, the cowardly trio heard the pilot yell out.
"Help," the pilot weakly called out.
"Rome on!" Scooby cried, as he and his best friends went over to the windmill.
But the windmill manage to fell down, on the three best friends. The cowardly trio groan in pain, as Scooby manage to moved the plane wing from crushing them.
"I've been in this much pain, but not like this" Courage moaned, as he rubbed his head.
"H-Help me," the pilot called out, from underneath the rubble of the plane.
Getting there, the three best friends saw the pilot underneath the body of the plane, grabbing his feet, the trio pulled him out to see two things. One, he is unconscious, and the second, is that he is not human.
"Don't worry green dude, My Aunt Muriel will help you get back on your feet," Shaggy said, as he lifted him up and begin to bring him to the house.
Getting there, Scooby and Courage opened the door, while Shaggy help the old man and headed inside.
"Like Aunt Muriel, this dude's plane crashed into the windmill and he needs help ASAP," Shaggy called to his aunt.
"Oh my! Put him on the couch and I'll come and aid him," Muriel said, when she saw the trio enter with the pilot.
Shaggy moved to the pilot and laid him down.
"What happened boys?" Muriel asked, in a motherly voice.
"Turns out it isn't snow, it's paper," Courage began.
"Rhen his plane landed dangerously, and it almost hit us," Scooby added.
"But his plane crashed the windmill, and it landed on us along with his plane," Courage finished.
"Oh my, are you boys alright?" Muriel asked with concern, as she check on his nephew to make sure there were no injuries.
Shaggy gently remove his aunts arms off of him. "We're okay Aunt Muriel."
"Oh, heavens, the poor man is hurt," Muriel said, looking the pilot over on the couch
"Big deal, tell him to fix my windmill,"Eustace grumbled.
"Not helping Uncle Eustace," Shaggy spat, at the old man.
"Blah, blah, blah," Eustace taunted, not caring one bit.
"Like, should we call a doctor?" Shaggy asked, worried.
The man started muttering very weakly.
"What did he say?" Courage asked, as he moved closer to him.
"Maybe a hot soak, or a nice cup of tea," Muriel said trying to make out what the man said. But he shook his head and continued to mutter weakly. "What can I get you?"
"RIf you can speak up, we can get you help," Scooby told him.
The man weakly muttered again.
"I think he said sludge," Muriel told the trio.
"Sludge?/Rludge?" Shaggy, Scooby and Courage all asked, while looking at each other in confusion.
"Like, how can sludge help?" Shaggy asked, confused.
"I'm not sure, boys, be good dears and go and see if we have any sludge," Muriel told the trio.
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage couldn't help, but groan with disgust.
First, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage went into the kitchen where Courage grabbed a giant container while Shaggy put on some gloves. The trio then head over to the stove and opened, reaching in, the trio pulled out some sludge that was trapped there, then the three best friends went to the roof and collected what we can from the gutters.
And finally, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage went back downstairs and took off Eustace's shoe's and began to remove the sludge from his feet.
"What's huh?" Eustace asked confused moving his paper to look at the trio.
Courage laughed as he, Shaggy and Scooby took the sludge from his foot into the bowl.
"Hope you don't mind Uncle Eustace, but we need sludge from your foot," Shaggy said, while cringed.
"Whatever, me foot's been stinking for a week anyway," Eustace shrugged, as he went back to reading his newspaper.
Once the trio were done with taking the sludge off of Eustace's foot, they all brought it over to the man.
"Rhat does he want with the sludge?" Scooby asked Courage.
"I don't wanna know. Here you go,"Courage told the pilot, as he handed the jar over to him.
The old man took it, and to Shaggy, Scooby and Courage's surprise and disgust, he started to chug it down like water.
"Oh, my," Muriel said, recoil in shock that he finished the entire container. "You finished the whole thing."
"Yuck," Courage said disgusted while sticking out his tongue.
"Like, I lost my appetite," Shaggy cringed, with disgust.
"Re too," Scooby agreed, feeling like he's gonna throw up, after seeing that.
The man then sat up on the couch with Muriel moving to sit next to him.
"Feeling any better mister...?" Muriel asked.
"The name's Conway my dear, and yes, thanks to you, I am on the road to recovery," Conway answered.
"Rnd the sludge help?" Scooby asked.
"Always does, but I am still a little weak. I think it's the air, something is in the air,"Conway answered.
"Oh my, I should finish vacuuming," Muriel said, as she got up and used her foot to turn on the vacuum.
"No, no, no, no," Conway said immediately. "My dear, you're using that machine all wrong. Flip the switch in the other direction."
"But I've always done it this way. Well, you are the guest," Muriel said unsure, before flipping it the switch on the vacuum,
Which proceeded to throw all the dust it sucked up back into the air, causing the family all to choke and cough a bit.
"Out with the good air, in with the bad. Out with the good air, in with the bad," Conway chanted happily.
"Like, how is this supposed to help us?" Shaggy asked, as he helped steady Scooby who seemed to be struggling to breathe.
Seeing this, Courage handed his best friends two gas masks over to them to use, Courage put on a gas mask as well.
"Rhat's better, thanks Rourage," Scooby sighed, as he could breath well again.
"Now, this can't be... good for you," Muriel struggled to say in between coughs.
"Would you all believe I'm one 193 years old?" Conway asked, before getting up and doing a perfect backflip.
"193 years old?" Courage asked, in astonishment, how can anyone live that long?
"Like, I've never met anyone that's 193 years old," Shaggy commented, as he put on his mask, thankful that he could breathe again.
Conway, went over the the cowardly teen, as he touch his shoulder. "Now you have my boy."
Shaggy shudder with disgust, as he move his shoulder way from the disgusting old man. "Like, please don't touch."
"My dears, not only are there health benefits to living like this, but think of the money you save on cleaning bills," Conway quickly said trying to convince the family.
"RI don't think so," Scooby quickly spoke, not interested.
"Works for me," Eustace spoke up, at that mention of saving money.
"Well, honestly, I love to feel young again," Muriel said, coughing.
"Me too," Eustace agreed.
"Then I'm the guy to help you," Conway declared.
"Like, Aunt Muriel, I don't think that such a good idea…" Shaggy cautioned.
"Nonsense, I know how teach this for I am self-taught. Now, first of all, you must breathe deeply," Conway argued, before showing what to do.
"It doesn't feel so good," Muriel said after trying to take a deep breath.
"Don't worry, you'll get used to it, just do as I say, I've got many ways to help you live longer and live better," Conway told her.
Courage starting to sweep up the dirt, that was already starting to pile up from the vacuum cleaner that was still on.
"You know, it's not so bad, once you get used to being woozy," Muriel said, before falling backwards.
"Aunt Muriel!" Shaggy cried, as he and Scooby caught her before she fell and moved her to the couch.
Conway, place his filthy hand on Muriel's shoulder. "Woozy? Well, I know just the thing to fix you up, follow me, he told her.
"Rnd what would that be Mr. Ronway?" Scooby asked, with a glare.
"A nice soothing bath," Conway answered before helping Muriel up and heading over to the stairs. "Excuse us."
"I do not trust him fellas," Courage said looking up the stairs, as Conway just left with Muriel.
"Like, we better follow him to see what he is going to give Aunt Muriel," Shaggy said agreeing, with the pink beagle.
"Rhat do you think he's after guys?" Scooby asked.
"I have no idea Scooby," Courage answered.
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage went up the stairs to the bathroom to check on Muriel, but as the trio climbed up the steps, they all became more nervous and disgusted at the amount of filth and dirt that already piling up. There was even some mud and mold already there as well. Courage wrinkled his nose in disgust and walked around everything, getting to the top, the three best friends walked down the hallway to where the bathroom was located.
Once there, the cowardly trio looked inside the room to see Muriel in the tub that was filled with brown sludge.
Courage groaned in disgust.
"Ruriel, use these to take a bath!" Scooby suggested, as he immediately pulled out a bottle of shampoo and a brush.
"That stuff won't help you live long like Conway," Conway said pushing Shaggy, Scooby and Courage out of the bathroom.
"Like, neither will whatever you put into the tub," Shaggy said, with disgust.
"You're a teenage boy and you're both dogs, you understand the benefits of filthy disgusting filth," Conway said to the trio.
"Like, there are no benefits," Shaggy told him.
"None," Courage said, agreeing with with the cowardly teen.
"Reah, we're not interested Ronway," Scooby added, with a growl.
"Well, then get used to is, with a little sprucing down, I think I can call this home," Conway said, laughing.
"Like, what's make you think we'll let you?" Shaggy argued.
"Heh, you think this is my first time doing this? Not to mention, all I need to do stay, is convince your aunt and uncle boy," Conway countered, before pulling the trio's masks and letting go which sent them flying back, he then went downstairs.
"Rhat can't be good," Scooby said, as he got back up and helped his best friends up.
"We're definitely going to need a shower after this," Courage said readjusting his mask.
It has been three days since Conway moved in, and it became a total hazard mess to even be near here, the entire house was filled to the brim with dirt, mud, mold, grime and so many more things. And that was just the inside of the house, Conway also made sounding area as filthy as possible as well, there were mountains of garbage and cesspools filled with liquids that Shaggy, Scooby and Courage fear even going near, Shaggy was pretty sure he even saw bio waste barrels nearby.
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage headed down stairs, to check on the old couple.
"Like, yuck!" Shaggy cringed with disgust, as he saw the old and grime on the wall.
"Reah, yuck!" Scooby agreed, with his owner.
"And I thought my room looks this bad, back in Mom and Dad's place," Shaggy commented, his room seem pretty clean compare to this. Good thing Daphne isn't here.
"I never understood how people can live like this," Courage said, as he and his best friends made their way down the hall to the steps.
"Reither could I Rourage, I may not be a neat freak, but I do like having everything clean," Scooby said, agreeing with him.
Getting there, the cowardly trio went down the steps and saw something scary, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage gasped in terror when the three saw Conway rolling a barrel that had danger written on it.
"Zoinks!" Shaggy exclaimed, with worry.
"Of, course you have your health, you have better health than ever. Don't you feel fantastic?" Conway asked, as he pulled the barrel so that it was standing and ripped the tab on it which releases a purplish toxic cloud of some kind into the air.
"Oh, such a pretty cloud," Muriel said, when the toxic fumes went near her before coughing violently.
"If we don't get Muriel or the farmer, good air soon, I don't think they'll both live to see another day," Courage said, with alarm.
Suddenly, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage heard a strange noise coming from outside.
"Rhat's that noise?" Scooby asked, as he and his best friends headed to the door.
Opening it, the trio saw men in hazmat suits moving what seems to be something for containment.
"EEK!" Courage shouted, at he and his best friends were seeing.
"Zoinks! It's the public health department," Shaggy said, showing the two dogs the sign that they nailed onto the door.
"CONDEMED!?" Courage shouted in surprise, at what he read.
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage jumped back a bit when one of the guys in the suits popped out of nowhere, startling the trio.
"OKAY! SEAL IT UP!" the guy in the suit shouted, before leaving.
"Ro, wait!" Scooby shouted, trying to get the workers' attention. before jumping back to avoid the metal door the seal him and his family in.
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage then heard a vehicle driving away signifying that the men left.
"Oh, no," Courage said, realizing the situation. "This is Bad!"
"Like, the filth isn't making things better, it's making things worse!"Shaggy said, in a panic.
"Rell, Ronway doesn't know that!" Scooby frantically said.
"Better vacuum the place!" Courage suggested, in desperation.
Muriel cough again, as Courage began to try and vacuum up the mess.
"Silly dogs and Silly boy!" Conway taunted, as he turn off the vacuum. "You'd need a much bigger vacuum to clean this up!" Conway laughed.
"A big vacuum….that's it!" Courage said, as he suddenly got an idea, before racing to the attic.
Shaggy and Scooby both looked at each other and shrugged, they hope Courage has an idea to clean this mess up.
In the attic, that was messy as well, Courage search what he was looking for.
"Come on, come on," Courage begged, he got out a package of a doggie door, and ran out of the messy attic.
Courage ran back downstairs with a package, and went towards the door.
"A doggie door instillation kit?" Shaggy asked, with amazement.
"Rhey actually made those kind of things?" Scooby question.
"Well, it's better than nothing," Courage said, as he installed and the trio all slipped through it.
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage then walked down the long tube that led outside that was placed here by the sanitation department.
"Like, it still smells bad out here," Shaggy complained, when he and the two dogs all took off their masks.
"Rell, it's definitely better out here," Scooby reminded his owner.
"So what's the plan little pink dude?" Shaggy asked Courage.
"That," Courage responded, towards the broken plane.
"Re're gonna fix his plane?" Scooby asked.
"Uh huh," Courage nodded.
"Like Courage is right Scoob, we can't just sit here. Come on we gotta plane to fix!" Shaggy declared.
"Come on guys, let's get to work!" Courage instructed his best friends.
It was a painstaking hour building a giant vacuum, but the cowardly trio did it with only a few scratches from looking for certain parts.
"And done," Courage said, as he and his best friends placed the finishing touches on the makeshift vacuum cleaner.
"Like, should we test it first?" Shaggy asked, wanting to see if this was safe.
"Good idea, you two may wanna step back," Courage told Shaggy and Scooby, as he had a remote.
Shaggy and Scooby seemed a bit skeptical but did so anyway, pressing he button, the cowardly trio watched in amazement as the machine whirred to life before sucking up all the trash and muck that surrounded the house in one sweep, but suddenly the Statue of Liberty got sucked in as well.
"Rokay, how can that statue get from New York from Kansas?" Scooby questioned.
"Like, you're telling me Scoob," Shaggy agreed.
"Yes!" Courage cheered, before turning to his best friends. "Okay, let's get this into place."
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage moved to the machine and moved it so that the opening was inside the tunnel.
"I know, this is gonna be gross," Courage said, as he and Scooby and put on helmets and goggles.
"Like, what are you dog dudes doing?" Shaggy asked.
"We are going to use the machine to clean the house, but Muriel and Eustace will be sucked into the machine if we don't catch them. That's what me and Scooby are going to do, go inside and use a giant net to catch them," Courage answered, as he and Scooby set up some bands to on the ceiling of the tunnel to keep them from getting sucked in.
"Okay, just be careful," Shaggy said, as the two dogs entered the tunnel.
"Hit it Rourage!" Scooby told the pink beagle, as the two dogs hooked themselves on and told Courage to turn the vacuum on.
And the two dogs discover that it was like being in a tornado from how string the vacuum pulled at them. Courage's skin almost nearly got pulled off him, even his brain from how far back his skin was being pulled.
Ruch, that hurts. Scooby thought, as the trash stated flying towards Scooby and Courage after the metal door was yanked open and all the filth started to hit them like miniature bullets.
"Here they come, get ready," Courage said, covering his mouth to not let trash get in.
Nodding, Scooby turned back to the door and lowered the net they both brought with them to catch Muriel and Eustace that were sucked in. Conway screamed as he got sucked up as well, but the two dogs did not catch him and instead let him get sucked up.
"Rurn it off Rourage!" Scooby yelled, after a moment when no more trash came.
Courage turned it off, which allowed the two dogs to get down safely, Scooby and Courage then helped Muriel and Eustace out of the net and then out of the tunnel where they started to take deep breaths of clean air. Then, suddenly, they inflated and went back to how they were before Conway.
"Aunt Muriel, Uncle Eustace, are you okay?" Shaggy asked them, as he ran over to his elder relatives.
"Oh my, I haven't felt this good in days," Muriel answered.
"Speak for yourself, I was saving me some money on cleaning equipment," Eustace complained.
"Like, are you aware that Scooby and the little pink dude just save your life!" Shaggy snapped, at his uncle.
"Help, get me out," Conway shouted before realizing something. "Well, you know it's actually kind of nice in here, so polluted."
"Well, I hope Conway can go where he can live like he wants to, like a pig." Muriel said, about Conway.
"And like, I hope we never see him again," Shaggy added, as Courage and Scooby removed the balloon from the vacuum before tying it up.
"Live long like Conway," Conway said happily as we sent him flying off.
"Courage, Scooby, you both look a fright. Let's go inside and clean you up," Muriel said pointing to all the filth that was on the two dogs.
"Hose them off out here, I don't want those stupid filthy dogs in my house," Eustace complained, before heading inside alongside Muriel.
Shaggy, turned to Scooby and Courage "Like, should we warn Uncle Eustace about that pig sitting on his chair?"
Before either of the dogs could reply, Eustace suddenly give out a loud scream from the house, "YUCK! PIG! MURIEL!
"I think he got the message," Courage replied, with a sigh.

Let me guys know in the reviews/comments of what should I do for the future episodes or next chapter. And what Courage should say in future chapters. Until then this is vakarns signing out.
