It was evening at the farmhouse, Courage was taking a bath, Eustace was downstairs watching TV, and Muriel, Shaggy and Scooby were in the kitchen. Courage's tub was fill with bubbles, Courage played with them, having a good time, as he laughed joyfully. A toy frog broke through the surface, he giggled as he play with his toy by pushing it down in the water.
A frog appeared back up, although it did appeared different, Courage didn't mind as he picked it up and began playing with it. He squeeze the toy, this turns out to be a mistake, as the frog turned out to be real, and stick it's tongue out on Courage's eye causing him to scream in pain.
"It's a real frog! It's a real frog!" Courage cried.
In the kitchen, Shaggy was washing the dishes, while Scooby was drying them.
"You are quite the dishwasher Shaggy, and your quite the dryer Scooby," Muriel complimented, as she was making tea.
"What can I say, you've done so much for us since we got here Scoob and I wanted to do the dishes as a way to thank you for all you've done," Shaggy said, with a smile.
"Reah," thanks Ruriel," Scooby added, grinning.
"Your welcome. I am truly grateful to have such a loving nephew like you Shaggy. How about I pour you, boys, a cup of tea?" Muriel offered.
"Sure, like, thanks Aunt Muriel," Shaggy responded.
Muriel pour a cup of tea, and was about to get some for Shaggy, when she heard croaking she turned to the first cup and it turns out it was a frog. And while Shaggy was still cleaning the dishes, a frog suddenly appeared in the sink. Scooby give out a scream of surprise.
"Zoinks!" Shaggy exclaimed, with shock.
Shaggy, Scooby and Muriel walked out of the kitchen and into the living room.
"Eustace, the strangest thing. There's a frog in my tea," Muriel said as she showed her husband her teacup with a frogs in it.
The frog croaked, before hopping out of the teacup and landing on the floor, it then hopped out of the living room and out of sight.
"Yeah? Well, there is a frog in me foot water," Eustace said while raising his left leg with the frog lying on his foot.
The frog croaked before hopping off his leg and onto the floor.
"You think that's worse? Like, there's a frog in the sink," Shaggy said.
"Reah, frog," Scooby added, nodding.
The family then heard Courage scream from upstairs, Shaggy and Scooby were about to get up and check on him but stopped when they both saw him running down the stairs. Courage screamed as he came to a stop in front of his family.
"Ret me guess, frog in the bathroom," Scooby guessed.
"No, it was a butterfly," Courage said, with sarcasm.
"Oh, thank goodness," Shaggy sighed with relief, not getting the pink beagle's sarcasm.
"Of course, it was a frog! He punched me in the eye with his tongue!" Courage answered, while trying to convey the message with his hands.
Unfortunately, neither Eustace nor Muriel understood what he was trying to say.
"That's gotta hurt," Shaggy winced.
"You can say that again," Courage replied, dryly.
Hearing some hopping sounds, the family looked back to the stairs and saw a frog hopping down the steps.
"You got that shiner from a frog? You girlie dog," Eustace mocked.
That shows how much Eustace knows about being a man. Shaggy thought.
Eustace picked up the phone and dialed a number, "Hello, Nowhere Pest Control? Me house is getting overrun with-OOH!"
A frog jumped on Eustace's head, ending his call, hundreds of frogs rained down from the ceiling, the frogs appeared everywhere in the living room.
"Their everywhere! Everywhere!" Courage shouted.
Scooby give out a scream of alarm.
"Zoinks!" Shaggy shrieked.
Yet, again, before anyone could say anything, the family heard something break through the front door, quickly turning, the family noticed that a buff-looking frog had kicked a hole into the door. And after a moment, a frog wearing a crown, the buff frog, and a frog wearing glasses entered through the hole.
"Much water here, dig pond now," the king frog spoke, surprising the family.
"What?" Muriel asked, confused.
"Excuse me?" Shaggy asked, also confused.
Yet, instead of answering, the king frog snapped his fingers with the frog wearing glasses hopping forward a second later.
"His majesty Buffo has declared, proclaimed, and officially stated with great succintitude, trasymmetry, and lack of redundantation, that you dig a pond... now," the frog 'translated,' although, it left the family more confused than anything.
"You can't be serious," Courage flabbergasted.
"You can't dig a pond here," Muriel told Buffo.
"Not us, you! Now!" Buffo responded.
"DIG POND! DIG POND! DIG POND!" the rest of the frogs began to chant, making the family covered their ears, luckily, they stopped when Buffo raised his arm.
"Slimy, stinking frogs, I'M GETTING ME MALLET!" Eustace declared, before moving towards the stairs.
"Ror once, I'm glad Rustace is gonna get his mallet," Scooby said, feeling a bit hopeful this might made the frogs leave.
"Me too," Shaggy agreed.
However, as Eustace began to climb the steps, Buffo snapped his fingers which caused the buff frog to leap onto Eustace, and due to the sudden weight, they began to fall back down the stairs. Shaggy, Scooby and Courage stare at the old man, while Eustace turned to the trio.
"What are you all looking at?" Eustace snarled.
"Nothing/Rothing," Shaggy, Scooby and Courage all said, trying to act casual.
"That's not very polite, you'll have to go, now," Muriel said, upset.
Buffo snapped his fingers, which caused all the frogs to jump onto Muriel.
"Muriel!/Aunt Muriel!/Ruriel!" Shaggy, Scooby and Courage screamed in terror.
"Dogs, boy dig pond, now," Buffo ordered the trio.
"You dig, dogs and boy?" the frog wearing glasses asked, after shoving Courage.
"Rell, dogs are very good at digging," Scooby replied.
"Scoob!" Shaggy retorted, not wanting to do this.
"You frogs can't be serious," Courage groaned.
"Were very serious about having a pond. Now start digging, now," the frog with the glasses ordered.
"I know, I'm not going to like this," Courage whined before, he Shaggy and Scooby beginning to dig through the floor.
After all night long, the trio finished digging through the floor to create a twenty-foot-deep hole, Courage was nearly passed out from exhaustion in the center of the hole.
"Oh, my," Muriel gasped in shock. "Are you boys all right?"
"No!/Ro!" Shaggy, Scooby and Courage groaned, with exhaustion.
"You poor dears. I hope you are happy with yourselves you overworked my dog, my nephew, and his dog. What do you have to say for yourselves?" Muriel scolded the frogs.
"Pond!" Buffo exclaimed.
"POND! POND! POND!" the rest of the frogs began to chant.
"Pond dry, you get water," Buffo told Eustace.
"Make me," Eustace challenged.
Annoyed, Buffo used his tongue to smack Eustace around a bit, causing him to fall to the floor.
"You, get lily pads," Buffo told Muriel and Shaggy.
"Whatever you say, king frog dude," Shaggy said, nervously.
Shaggy, Scooby, Courage and Muriel then went into the kitchen, looking through the cabinets.
"Found anything?" Courage asked his best friends.
"Rot yet. Raggy?" Scooby asked his owner.
"No," Shaggy responded.
The buff frog then sees a fly, and uses his tongue to catch the fly.
"Well a bullfrog's tongue is 2.16 inches long," Courage explained to his best friends.
"How do you know little pink dude?" Shaggy asked.
"I saw it in a documentary one time," Courage responded.
"Rnteresting," Scooby said.
Scooby then noticed that the buff frog was having trouble removing some fly trap paper from his face, it seems like he tried to catch a fly that landed on it, only to grab the fly trap paper instead. And because his tongue was covered in mucus, it made it harder to remove, this made Scooby snickered a little.
"Goodness! We don't have any lily pads," Muriel said, as she give up.
This made the buff frog not happy, as he growled at the family, this made Shaggy, Scooby and Courage whimpered, as they all looked after and harder to find the lily pads.
"I'm looking! I'm looking!" Courage threw out a sponge, unknowingly hitting the buff frog's head and landing in the water and floating.
This got the buff frog curious, as he landed on the sponge, causing to splash onto Shaggy, Scooby and Courage. The buff frog finally seemed satisfied, as he lay on the sponge.
"Rit may not be a lilypad, but it will work," Scooby said.
"Quick get as many sponges as possible," Shaggy instructed.
"You got it Shaggy," Courage responded, as he gathered much sponges as possible.
Muriel, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage came back with dozens of sponges in their arms. One frog tripped Muriel, causing her to dropped the sponges.
"OOH! Lily pads," the frogs said, excited.
"You live like frogs, hop like frogs," Buffo told Eustace and Muriel while pointing at them.
"I'm sorry, but hopping just isn't my thing," Muriel said while shaking her head.
"I don't do no hopping," Eustace added, annoyed.
Let out a quiet growl, the buff frog grabbed Eustace and Muriel and lifted them into the air.
"Zoinks!" Shaggy shrieked.
"Rikes!" Scooby shouted, with fright.
"Yikes!" Courage exclaimed, with fear.
"YOU! HOP!" the buff frog demanded before dropping them, where they bounced a bit before stopping.
"Slimy, stinking frogs," Eustace complained while shaking his fist at Buffo.
"You croak like frogs," Buffo demanded.
"I don't do no talking like slimy, stink-OOH!" Eustace began but stopped when the buff frog grabbed his cheek and pinched it.
And to Shaggy, Scooby and Courage's surprise, Eustace began to croak precisely like a frog.
"Time to eat like frogs," Buffo said, getting our attention.
The buff frog then grabbed Muriel's head and did something that caused her tongue to shoot out of her mouth, her tongue flew out and snatched a fly near the ceiling lamp before returning to her mouth.
"I find this all very demeaning," Muriel said, upset as she ate the fly.
And then, to the cowardly trio's absolute horror, Muriel croaked like a frog with her lower mouth expanding like a balloon.
Courage gasped before fainting, luckily, Scooby managed to catch Courage before he dropped to the floor. Shaggy and Scooby then heard the royalty entrance fanfare again.
"Buffo now declare pond, open," Buffo said, getting Shaggy and Scooby's attention.
Turning back to him, Shaggy and Scooby saw that he held some scissors and was about to cut a red ribbon, and as soon as he did so, all the frogs began dancing, with some even shaking maracas.
"This can't be happening!" Shaggy panicked.
"Rhis is bad! Really bad!" Scooby said, with alarm, and trying to wake Courage up.
"Oh, what happened?" Courage began, to wake before screaming when he saw Eustace and Muriel's jaws inflated like balloons.
"A celebration feast, your majesty?" the frog with glasses asked.
"Yes, Bluff," Buffo said with the buff frog hopping towards him, "Get many flies. Use dogs and boy."
"Oh, no," Courage gasped in fear.
"Oh come on! Even while we're on vacation, we're still bait!" Shaggy complained.
Bluff grabbed the trio, and went into the kitchen, but stopped when Bluff spotted the honey and flypaper traps on the table. Shaggy, Scooby and Courage became confused about what he was planning on doing when he opened the jar of honey and poured its contents onto the trio. But it became apparent when he exited the kitchen and looked towards the trash can that had lots of flies above it.
"This is very tasty," Courage said, as he licked himself.
"Like, nothing like good old honey," Shaggy said, as he licked himself.
"Rou said it Raggy," Scooby agreed, as he also licked himself.
Bluff then whistled, which attracted the fly's attention. They seemed to quickly take notice of the honey covering Shaggy, Scooby and Courage as they immediately flew over to them and covered the trio from head to toe.
Bluff went back inside with Courage, yet, as soon as they entered the kitchen, the cowardly trio saw a horrifying sight.
Zoinks! Shaggy thought, when he, and the dogs saw the frog with glasses cooking Muriel and Eustace's mud-covered feet.
"Go tell his majesty, Buffo, that the fly marinade is exquisite, and soon, he shall enjoy a royal feast of human legs," the frog with glasses ordered, as he effortlessly scooped all the flies off of the three best friends before pouring them onto Muriel and Eustace's feet.
"Snap out of it you two, before the frogs try and eat your feet!" Courage warned, before transforming into a frog like Courage, while holding an apron and knife.
Unfortunately, all Courage got in return was them croaking again like frogs.
"They think they're actual frogs, we have to get rid of the frogs," Courage whined.
"Your right little pink dude, what are we gonna do now?" Shaggy asked, in worry.
"Ruys look," Scooby said, as he pointed to his best friends to the honey jar and fly paper on the table, "Rall we have to do is pour ourselves in honey and get the flys to come. Rfter that we stick them to the flypaper and get the frogs to eat them. Rf that happens we save Ruriel and Rustace and kiss the frogs bye-bye."
"Do we have to pour ourselves in honey again?" Courage groaned, not wanting to do this again.
"It's the only way to get rid of the frogs, come on," Shaggy answered.
"The things I do for love," Courage said, knowing they have to do this.
Courage hopped onto the table and grabbed the honey jar and more flypaper traps.
"Like Scoob, you sure about this?" Shaggy asked.
"Rot really," Scooby answered before, he, Shaggy and Courage headed outside.
Grabbing the honey jar, Scooby opened and poured its contents all over himself, Shaggy and Courage, while Shaggy took roughly fifty sheets of flypaper from the package. Once they're was covered, Courage turned around and whistled as loud as possible, and in less than a second, a swarm of flies appeared and immediately headed towards Shaggy, Scooby and Courage.
Once they covered the trio from head to toe again, Shaggy began using the flypaper to 'clean' himself and the dogs, and trap the flies. With that done, the trio hurried inside, only to panic when we didn't see Eustace or Muriel. Worried, they dashed into the living room, where the trio saw Muriel and Eustace on a bed of red-hot coals, making Courage screamed with terror, and causing his eye sockets to popped out and hanging onto his eye holes.
"Oh no," Courage whimpered.
"We're too late!" Shaggy cried out, in despair.
But Scooby was not giving up, "Rot on my watch!"
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage flapped the flypapers as fast as they could, which lifted them to the ceiling, once they reached the ceiling, they grabbed onto the lamp's wire. Courage then took out the stapler and used it to staple the flypaper to the ceiling.
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage nearly panicked, when they saw the feet of Muriel and Eustace were almost done, before Courage whistled as loud as he could.
"Hey frog dudes and dudettes, we like, got something for you!" Shaggy called.
Luckily, this caught every frog's attention.
"Appetizers," all the frogs said, while licking their lips.
They then shot their tongues at the flypaper, achieving the desired result, and that was all the frogs hanging in their air as their tongues were stuck to the flypaper.
"Rts working," Scooby grinned.
"What the?" Buffo asked, shocked.
Throwing the stapler to the side, Courage used the lamp's wire to tie up all the frog's tongues together.
"Let me do the honors," Courage said, to the hungry duo.
"Okay, good luck," Shaggy said, as he opened the door for Courage.
Once secured, Courage pulled on the frog's tongues, freeing them before dragging them outside, with Shaggy and Scooby following him.
"It's time for you frogs to go bye-bye," Courage declared, before he proceeded to spin in a circle before tossing them off into the distance.
"Yay!" Courage cheered.
"Rice swing, Rourage," Scooby said.
"Thanks," Courage responded.
"We'll celebrate later, right now we gotta save Aunt Muriel and Uncle Eustace, Come on!" Shaggy reminded his best friends, that they gotta save their family.
The cowardly trio went back inside the farmhouse.
"Like, how do we snap them out of it?" Shaggy asked, as he looked at his older relatives.
"I got it," Courage said, as he got on the hot coal bed, before giving shouts of pain and lifted Muriel and Eustace, he then walked over to the pond's edge and threw them into the water.
"UH!" Eustace gasped, as he reached the surface and gasped for air.
"Oh, my," Muriel gasped, as well.
Courage sighed with relief, as he wiped his eyebrow, "Glad that's over."
"Us too/Rs too," Shaggy and Scooby agreed, as they also sighed with relief.
"Buffo, alone, Buffo, go find new worshippers," Buffo said, before hopping towards the entrance, "Stupid dog."
"When people call me stupid, the first thing that comes to mind is the farmer," Courage said.
"Rame here," Scooby agreed.
"Thank goodness, that's over," Shaggy said, not wanting to deal with another frog for a long time.
Muriel and Eustace got out of the hole, as Muriel went over to the trio, "Is everyone okay?"
"We're okay Muriel," Courage reassured his owner.
"You boys really saved the day," Muriel smiled.
"Well, we couldn't have done it without Scooby. It was his idea to get the flies on the flypaper," Courage said, giving the Great Dane some credit.
"Scooby-Doo you are one true genius," Shaggy complimented his dog.
"Raw it was nothing, I do anything for my friends and family," Scooby blushed.
"Your such a good boy, Scooby" Muriel said, as she pet the Great Dane and give him a hug.
"Hey, what about me?" Courage said, feeling a bit jealous.
"There's enough hugs for everyone. Come here Courage, You too Shaggy," Muriel offered.
Shaggy and Courage came over, as Muriel give a group hug to the cowardly trio.
A couple hours later, Scooby and Courage finally finished burying the hole.
"Whew! Took all day but it was worth it," Courage said.
"Rou said it Rourage," Scooby agreed.
"I'm off green tea for a spell, pekoe suits me just fine," Muriel said, as she returned from the kitchen with a cup of tea before sitting down in her chair.
"Quiet! I'm trying to watch the game," Eustace complained.
Hearing the sound of the bat hitting the ball, the family turned to the television to see the visiting team successfully hit the ball.
"Ah, hah! A high fly to center field. Going... going. I don't think anyone is going to catch this fly," the announcer commentated.
However, just as the ball reached the stadium's walls, a catcher's mitt suddenly appeared in the ball's trajectory, catching it. And after the camera was brought down, it was revealed that Buffo had caught the ball. "Wait! A tremendous catch by the center fielder, Buffo."
"Like we've solved mysteries that involve sports like baseball, but I've never seen a frog playing baseball before," Shaggy commented, as he sat on the couch.
"Well, there's a first time for anything," Courage responded, to the teenager.
"Reah," Scooby chuckled, "Scooby-Ribbit-Dooby-Doo!"
