The family were on vacation again, this time at Paris.
"Eh, yuck," Eustace exclaimed, disgusted at the kissing couple in front of him.
"Isn't it amazing that we won this trip to Paris just by finding a coupon in a cereal box," Muriel exclaimed.
"Mmm-hmm!" Courage agreed, as he ate his cereal box.
"It's also amazing that Shaggy and Scooby have been to Paris with your wee friends," Muriel added, as she knew that Shaggy and Scooby once told her they been to Paris before.
"Like your right Aunt Muriel, Scoob and I have been solving mysteries with the gang around the world," Shaggy said.
"Rncluding Paris," Scooby added.
"Let me guess your favorite part of the trip is the food?" Courage teases, with a smirk.
"What can I say, Scoob and I are natural-born eaters," Shaggy said, proudly.
"Re love food," Scooby added, with pride.
"Speaking of the gang, we bought souvenirs for them," Shaggy said.
"Aww isn't that sweet of you?" Muriel said.
"RI miss, Red, Raphne and Relma," Scooby whined a little, as much as he love staying with Courage and Muriel, he misses the gang.
"Me too Scoob," Shaggy agreed, also missing the gang.
"What did you get them?" Muriel asked.
"For Daphne, we got her a designer scarf designed by Coco Chanel. For Velma, a designer computer bag, and for Fred a new ascot," Shaggy explained.
"Only a girlie boy would wear an ascot," Eustace mocked.
"For a farmer, the farmer has no sense of fashion," Courage told his best friends.
"RIt's a good thing we mailed them before we got to the Louvre," Scooby said.
"Anyway, lets head up into the museum," Muriel said.
The trio nodded and the family proceeded up the steps to the museum, they were about to enter but were stopped by the security guard next to the door.
"You must not enter le museum now, madame, it is only five minutes until closing," the guard said.
"Good, I'm tired," Eustace said bitterly.
"Romeone isn't a fan of traveling," Scooby whispered to his best friends.
"But I've got to see the Mona Lisa, my mother always said Mona and I were like twins. Don't you agree?" Muriel asked with a smile.
"Uh, you look nothing like the Mona Lisa and I'll give you five minutes to go see for yourself," the guard argued while stepping to the side allowing the family to go inside the museum.
As they went into the museum, and with each passing moment, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage amazed by the different paintings and sculptures around them. All of them were of different art styles with the statues being so realistic, they were all beautiful and amazing which made the trio wonder who were the artists and how long did it take them to make their work of arts.
"I think you are as pretty as the Mona Lisa Muriel," Courage said, with a smile.
"Reah, very pretty," Scooby added.
"Why thank you, boys," Muriel said.
Soon, the family entered a large room with even more work but this time had a sky light as well.
"There is magic at work, I can feel it," Muriel said.
"Big deal," Eustace said, moving forward.
Courage rolled his eyes at the old farmer, "Even the grouchiest of them all has no sense of culture."
"Rou can say that again," Scooby nodded, with agreement.
Shaggy wasn't paying much attention to the dogs, he was reading a guide book on Leonardo da Vinci and the history of Mona Lisa, "You're gonna wanna hear this Aunt Muriel, Mona Lisa was a real person."
"Really? I didn't know that," Muriel said, astonished.
"Like, you learn something everyday," Shaggy said, with a smile.
"Yuck!" Eustace suddenly said getting the family's attention.
Turning to him, the family saw that he was sitting at the base of a sculpture, he then got up and walked away in disgust.
"Look! There she is!" Muriel exclaimed excitedly. Turning to her, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage saw that she was pointing to a painting. "The most famous painting in the world, all because of her mysterious smile. I want to take a picture of me and the Mona Lisa."
"Okay," Courage nodded, as he studied his camera.
Muriel then moved next to the picture. Setting it to the camera feature, Courage moved it so he can take her picture.
"A little closer," Courage told Muriel to move to the left a bit.
"Like, okay Aunt Muriel say-" Shaggy began, as Courage readied to take the picture.
But as Courage was about to press the button, the Mona Lisa smiled and winked at the pink beagle.
"ZOINKS!" Shaggy exclaimed, surprise.
"Zoinks?" Muriel asked, in confusion.
Scooby and Courage gasped with shock as well. Looking back through the camera to the picture, Courage saw that the painting was still as if nothing happened.
"Huh?" Courage asked, in confusion.
"Did you guys see that? The Mona Lisa's face just moved," Shaggy said, trembling.
"Ruh-huh!" Scooby nodded his head in speed.
"You're probably just seeing things you guys," Courage said, trying to calm his best friends and himself down.
"Ladies and gentilshommes, it ze the closing time," the guard from earlier said, before turning off the P.A. system.
"Hurry up, boys, it's closing time," Muriel said bringing the trio's attention back to her
"One more picture, and then will leave," Courage said, as he turned his camera around and used his ear to wipe the lens clean, he then brought the camera back up to his face.
Muriel smiled and leaned in a bit closer to the painting, but as Courage was about to take the picture, the Mona Lisa lifted her hand and blew him a kiss. Courage screamed when he saw this.
"Like, you were saying, little pink dude?" Shaggy asked, the startled pink beagle.
"Okay, I believe you two," Courage said, his voice shaken up.
"It's okay, boys, the resemblance is overwhelming," Muriel said, turning to admire the painting.
"Rhat's not we're worried about," Scooby said hesitantly, not taking his eyes of the painting.
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage backed away from the painting nervously, until the three accidentally bumped into Eustace.
"Like, sorry Uncle Eustace, didn't see you there," Shaggy apologized, as he turned around to his uncle.
"Whatever. Hey, stupid dog," Eustace yelled to the pink beagle, as he grabbed his ears and dragged him to a sculpture.
Walking over to him, Shaggy and Scooby saw that it was a sculpture of a naked mand sitting down with his fist under his chin.
"Take a picture of me with this idiot. 'The Thinker' huh? I know what he's thinking. How come there's no TV set?" Eustace mocked, as he climbed the statue.
"I know what he's thinking about? How come the farmer has no brain?" Courage whispered, to his two best friends.
"Ro wonder Rhirley calls him the stupid one," Scooby agreed, with a whisper.
Shaggy giggled, at Scooby's comment, "For a creepy dog psychic, Shirley's got a good point."
"Don't just stand there dog, take my picture, now!" Eustace demanded, getting the cowardly pink beagle's attention.
"Okay, okay, you don't have to be too demanding," Courage stated, as he raised his camera, but right before he pressed the button, like with the Mona Lisa, Courage saw the statue move as if happy and surprised that he can move.
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage screamed, only for Courage to accidentally press the button on his camera, causing the bulb to go off, blinding him for a moment. Rubbing his eyes to clear the spots, Courage looked back at the statue, only to see that it was back in its original spot as if it never moved.
"Like, we've been solving mysteries in museums, but I've never seen a painting or a statue come to life," Shaggy said, surprise at everything tonight.
"Reah, life," Scooby nodded, in agreement.
"We better keep an eye out, who knows what we might see," Courage stated.
The family began to walk back to the exit, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage nervously looked around to see if more statues or painting made movement at all. Muriel was taken aback by them as she continuously looked back and forth between paintings and sculptures.
Entering the next room, the family saw to their right what looked like a small replica of their living room back at the farmhouse except this one had a fireplace in the back.
"I got to take a breather," Eustace said, moving to sit in the chair that looked exactly like his back home.
"Good idea," Shaggy agreed, feeling exhausted, it had been a long flight here from Kansas to Paris and it certainly can tire you out.
"Feels just like home," Muriel said as she went to the stove that was nearby for some reason, poured herself a cup of tea, that was also there for some strange reason and sat down in the nearby rocking chair.
That looked exactly the same as hers, but as soon as she sat down on the chair, both her and Eustace fell asleep.
"After a day of tour sighting and shopping, I could go for a good night's sleep," Courage yawned as he jumped onto Muriel's lap and fell asleep as well.
"Courage isn't the only one who could use a good night's sleep," Shaggy yawned, as he sat on the couch and fell asleep too.
"Rou said it," Scooby agreed with a yawn, as he sat next to Shaggy on the couch and fell asleep last.
Courage woke up to a door slam, and realize that he and his family must of fallen sleep, he also realize that it was dark now and it is time to go back to the hotel they're staying at. "Muriel, Muriel, wake up! Wake up!" he shouted, as he pulled on his owner's apron.
"I've must taken a wee snooze," Muriel said, as he woken up, "Boys."
"Huh?" Eustace asked, as he woke up.
"Like, who turned off the lights?" Shaggy asked, as he also woken up, along with Scooby.
"Let's get out of here already," Eustace said.
"For once I agree with the farmer, we need to leave now," Courage nodded.
"I want to see Mona one more time," Muriel said.
Courage groaned at this.
"Like, alright Aunt Muriel, come on dudes, let's get this over with," Shaggy sighed.
Muriel smiled and went over to the painting while Eustace went back to 'The Thinker.' Muriel spent about ten minutes just admiring the sculpture.
"Like, okay Aunt Muriel, you seen the painting, now let's go," Shaggy said, wanting to get out of here now.
All of a sudden, a purple aura started glowing around each of the sculptures and paintings.
"Rhat's going on?" Scooby asked, nervously.
Looking around, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage saw that every painting and sculpture was glowing. The painting of Mona Lisa suddenly move, as she adjusted her finger motive Muriel to come closer, Muriel in a trance went to get a closer look much to Shaggy? Scooby and Courage's worry. The cowardly pink beagle was attempting to pull Muriel away from the Mona Lisa that had her hand out as if to pull Muriel into the painting.
"Like, hold on on little pink dude," Shaggy shouted, as he and Scooby immediately dashed towards him and helped pulled a starstruck Muriel away from the painting.
Only to fail when all of a sudden, the Mona Lisa suddenly reached out of the painting and pulled Muriel into the painting before jumping out herself. Courage shrieked in terror while his skin came of his body leaving behind a skeleton.
"Like, this can't be real!" Shaggy was stunned with shock.
The Mona Lisa in question, merely giggled. "Hey, Thinker, you thinking what I'm thinking?"
Turning around, the cowardly trio saw that the statue of the Thinker had come to life as well and was now standing up.
"Put some clothes on you beatnik!" Eustace demanded the statue.
The Thinker looked down at himself before looking back at Eustace, he then grabbed Eustace and stole his clothes from him and wore it. Eustace, was also now stuck in the Thinker's position on the stone.
"This can't be real, this is a dream, I know it is, somebody pinch me," Courage flabbergasted, couldn't believe what he is witnessing.
Scooby taken this literally, pinch Courage.
"Oww!" Courage yelled in pain.
"RI's real alright," Scooby spoke to Courage.
"Speak for yourself," Shaggy remarked.
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage turned to Eustace and begin to laugh a little.
"Oh, you three think everything is funny do you?" Eustace asked, still stuck in position.
"That depends," Courage snickered.
Eustace reply with grumble in annoyance.
"So, what have you been thinking about all this time?" Mona Lisa asked the Thinker.
"Uh, Um, your smile. I—I think," the Thinker answered unsure of himself.
The Mona Lisa then spoke something in a French that Shaggy, Scooby and Courage did not know before moving up against the Thinker and running her hands along his chest before moving up to his face.
"What do you say we go someplace and have a little fun, no?" Mona Lisa asked him.
"Uh, maybe we should, or maybe we shouldn't. Might be fun, might be weird. Hmm, I need to think about this," the Thinker said before putting on a thinking face and begin to 'think.'
"Well, let's go Thinker. When the planets separate again, you and me we're going to be stuck in place forever. Let's make sure it's someplace really worth smiling about, si?" Mona asked hugging the Thinker.
"Um, well..." the Thinker replied, before being dragged off by Mona.
"Oh no!" Courage exclaimed with fear, as his mouth opened a silent scream expression perfectly mirrored the painting 'The Scream' behind him.
Courage came up to the painting and took the it off the wall and shake it, trying to see if he can get her out, "Come on! Come on! Come on!"
But it was no use, Courage sighed with defeat, as he place the painting back on the wall.
"Rhis is bad!" Scooby said, frantically.
"Like, if we don't get Aunt Muriel out of there, she'll be trapped in the painting forever," Shaggy stated, with worry.
"Don't worry Muriel, we'll be back. Come on, we gotta find Mona Lisa," Courage said, as he heard the giggling of the Mona Lisa.
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage began to follow the sound of the Mona giggling, the three best friends passed by a few paintings trying to find them. Eventually, Courage managed to find where the source was coming from.
"Over here," Courage shouted, pointing to another picture.
Shaggy and Scooby went over to him and saw a painting of a park with a body of water nearby with tons of people gather around. Looking at the plaque, the two saw its name, 'The Park.'
"Come on big guy, let's you and me get naturale and jump right in," the trio heard Mona say.
"Come on guys, we gotta go in after them," Courage declared, as he pointed at the painting.
"Rh-uh, Rh-uh," Scooby shook his head, as he refused.
"But Scoob you have to go inside the painting with us. We need you to use your super sniff to lead us to the Mona Lisa and the Thinker," Shaggy pointed out, reasonably.
"RI know, that's why I'm staying here," Scooby said, not moving from his spot.
"Would you go in for the new Crème Brûlée flavored Scooby Snack?" Courage offered, as he took out a box of Scooby Snacks.
"Rreme Brulee Scooby Snack? Rokay Rourage," Scooby said, having Courage's attention, at the mention 'Crème Brûlée Scooby Snack.'
Courage tosses the Scooby Snack in the air, as Scooby caught it with his mouth and munching it.
"Relicious," Scooby said, as he licked his mouth.
"A wise guy once said, never underestimate the power of a Scooby Snack," Courage smirked.
"That's right, I'm the wise guy," Shaggy chuckled, as he realize Courage meant him.
"Rome one guys," Scooby said, as he dove into the painting with Shaggy and Courage right behind him.
Getting up, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage saw that were in fact, inside the painting.
"Wow," Courage said, with amazement.
"I don't either to find this fascinating or terrifying," Shaggy said, as he looked around with astonishment.
"Rey, I found their scent," Scooby shouted, as he sniffed on the ground and pick up Mona and the Thinker's scents.
Looking over to Mona, Shaggy and Courage saw that Mona annoyed at the fact that the Thinker was thinking instead of going along with her.
"There they are," Shaggy said.
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage began to approach them and were close to reaching them but Scooby and Courage were halted when a police officer suddenly came up and grabbed the two dogs.
"Eh, you see not the sign? No dogs allowed," the officer said while pointing with his baton to the sign that said no dogs allowed.
"Rog where?" Scooby asked, looking around.
"Scooby, we're the dogs," Courage retorted, dryly.
"Roh," Scooby said, finally getting it.
"But, like, officer dude-" Shaggy began, but the officer cut him off.
"No exceptions!" the officer yelled, before going over to the edge of the painting and kicking Scooby and Courage out of the painting, and they both landed in another painting of Dogs Playing Poker.
This painting showed a saloon with three dogs around a table player poker, Scooby and Courage decided to play along.
Courage played out his cards, showing the dogs he had all A's, "I win."
"Rood job Rourage," Scooby said.
But as for the rest of the dogs, he only got glares.
"What?" Courage asked, wandering what he did.
"A royal flush?" one dog complained.
"Get out of here!" another dog snarled.
Scooby and Courage got kicked out of the painting and landed on the floor, where Shaggy was waiting.
"There you guys are, what happened?" Shaggy asked.
"Some paintings aren't very friendly to dogs," Courage said, as he got up.
"Rspecially when real dogs play pokers with painting dogs," Scooby added, as he also got up.
"Huh?" Shaggy asked, not getting what the dogs meant.
"Long story, did you find Mona Lisa and the Thinker Shaggy?" Courage asked, changing the subject.
"Not yet, I was waiting for you two. After all, we are a team," Shaggy stated.
"Good point," Courage agreed.
"Re do make a good team. Rust like Mystery Inc," Scooby added.
"Boys," Muriel weakly called out to Shaggy, Scooby and Courage.
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage all immediately rushed back to where she was.
"Like Aunt Muriel, is that you?" Shaggy asked, his aunt on the painting.
"Muriel are you okay?" Courage asked, with concern.
"I feel myself drying. Get me out before... it's...too...late," Muriel told the trio.
"Like don't worry Aunt Muriel, well get you out," Shaggy reassured his trapped aunt. Only to receive no answer as she seemed to have froze again.
Luckily, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage did not to search for long as the three heard Mona's laugh again.
"Follow the laughter. Hurry!" Courage declared, as he took of running.
"Right behind you little pink dude," Shaggy yelled in agreement, as he and Scooby followed Courage.
Only to stop when the cowardly trio passed by the statue of the couple kissing from earlier.
"EWW!" Courage said grossed out, while sticking out his tongue.
"Like, get a room you two," Shaggy stated.
"Reriously," Scooby added, as he rolled his eyes.
Soon, after a few turns, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage found the laughter coming from another painting.
"The Persistence of Memory," Shaggy read out loud. "Like dudes, I'm not sure what I am looking at nor the meaning behind this painting."
"Neither do I Shaggy," Courage said, while seemingly confused as well.
But then Scooby suddenly pointed out a spot in the painting. "Rait, there they are."
Looking closely, Shaggy and Courage saw that Mona and the Thinker were on the log in the painting.
"I thought a little bit of something strange might loosen you up," Mona explained.
Then, the weird blob on the ground near them and what appeared to be mummy wrappings moved closer to them and agreeing with Mona.
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage bended their knees and then jumped right into the painting, they were hoping that they would stick the landing, but the trio instead landed on a clock which bounced them up into the air a bit. Out of reflex, Courage grabbed onto the nearest thing which just so happened to be another melted clock. But as soon as he did so, he started to sting forward.
Courage let go hoping to land easily, but was instead flown forward and landed on one of the strange guys, bounce off him and get sent flying out of the painting along with Shaggy and Scooby who somehow mirrored his exact movements. But instead of landing in the museum again, they were all sent flying into another painting, this time, it was of a corner diner that one might find in the place New York or Vale. Shaking their heads, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage got up and found out that they landed right behind the counter.
"Oh boy burgers," Shaggy grinned.
"RI can go for a bite," Scooby said, as he licked his lips.
"I haven't had any dinner yet, so why not," Courage figured they could stay for a bit.
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage ordered their burgers and begin eating.
"Painting or not these burgers taste real," Shaggy said, as he ate his burgers.
"Can't have a burger without french fries,"Courage giggled at his pun, "Get it? French fries."
Shaggy and Scooby laughed, at Courage's pun since they're in France.
"Good one little pink dude," Shaggy laughed.
Scooby was about to say something about Courage's joke when he heard laughter, "Ruh, guys?"
Shaggy and Courage turned to where Scooby was pointing and saw that Mona and the Thinker were coming.
"Quick hide," Courage spoke to his best friends.
The cowardly trio ducked behind the counter of the diner.
"You've got to stop the questioning everything and enjoy the moment, you know?" Mona told Thinker, as they sat down at the counter.
But she only received silence, taking a chance, Shaggy looked above and saw that the reason why the Thinker did not answer was because he was reading the menu.
"Hey, Thinker, you there?" Mona asked through clenched teeth, she also smacked the thinker on the chest to try and grab his attention only for him to not even notice at all.
"Hmm, should I have tea with lemon, decaf with cream? Hmm," was all the Thinker said in response, completely ignorant to what Mona just said.
"Like, no wonder, they call him the thinker," Shaggy whispered to his best friends.
"Re never stops thinking," Scooby stated.
"I'm starting to feel sorry for the Mona Lisa," Courage said, sympathetically.
"I need somebody who just take me in his arms and give me a big smooch-a-rooni. You know, a kiss," Mona said turning to the Thinker and pursing her lips to kiss him.
Only for him to lean back away from her, "I need to think about it," the Thinker replied before going back to the menu.
"Ureka that's it! All we gotta do is find someone for the Mona Lisa to kiss," Courage suddenly whispered to Shaggy and Scooby with a bulb over his head.
"Rut who can we find that can kiss the Rona Risa?" Scooby asked quietly.
"I know just the person. Follow me," Courage answered, before he, Shaggy and Scooby moved forward and jumping out of the painting.
"Like, what your plan little dog dude?" Shaggy asked him, now that they were away from the other two.
"Mona Lisa wants to be loved right?" Courage began by asking the hungry duo.
"Reah," Scooby answered, not sure where he was going with this.
"But like, the Thinker is not showing her any love," Shaggy added.
"Well, how about we get Mona Lisa a lover?" Courage asked.
This caused Shaggy and Scooby to look at each other in confusion.
"Like good idea little pink dude, but where are we going to find someone that will love her?" Shaggy asked the pink beagle.
"Row about the guy in the statue of the two people kissing?" Scooby suggested.
"But Scoob, like, those two are in love with each other and are showing their love to each other in a passionate kiss. Hence why there are called, 'The Kiss.' I think. Anyway, like, what makes you think he would just up and leave the one he is kissing and go for Mona Lisa?" Shaggy asked. Instead of answering, Scooby looked down as he clearly hadn't thought of that.
"Wait, I have an idea," Courage suddenly said getting Shaggy and Scooby's attention.
"Rhat is it?" Scooby asked.
Instead of answering Courage walked toward a painting with cupids and arrows, confused, Shaggy and Scooby followed Courage to the painting.
"When cupid's arrow hits the lover who's already been hit, the lover stops falling in love until she starts falling in love with the first person he or she sees," Courage explained.
"Can that really happen?" Shaggy asked.
"Only one way to find out," Courage answered, as he grabbed the Cupid's arrow and he began to wail loudly.
This made Scooby covered his ears, "Ry ears!"
"Like, you sure you know what you're doing little Courage guy?" Shaggy asked, not sure about this plan.
Courage nodded to the nervous teen and turned to Cupid and grabbed a gaming console , "Have a game boy."
Cupid laughed, while holding the gaming console.
"Ready. Aim. Fire!" Courage yelled, as he fired it where it struck him in the back and when it did so, hearts started to come out of it.
He stopped kissing the girl and looked over at the cowardly trio.
"Hey statue dude, this beautiful dudette is looking for someone to smooch," Shaggy suggested, as he quickly raised the photo so he could see it.
And once he did, his eyes bulged out of his head in shock and possible love, ""Whoa, Mama," the man said in a deep voice, he then turned to the lady he was just kissing. "Sorry, baby, I think we should see other people."
"Men!" the lady said disgusted, as the guy walked away.
The man ripped the clothes off some poor guy from another painting and put them on.
"Now, where can I find this lovely lady you three showed me?" the man asked the trio.
"Rhere she is," Scooby answered while pointing over to the painting he and his best friends were just in.
Walking over to it, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage could hear the Thinker still thinking on what he should order, still completely ignoring Mona.
"Whoa, baby," the guy said spotting Mona.
"Go get her tiger!" Courage urged him on.
The man gave a loud whistle which caught Mona's attention, she turned around and her eyes bulged out of her head for a moment when she spotted the guy.
"Well. If you're not going to kiss me, I think there's somebody who is," Mona said to the Thinker who didn't hear her at all.
She then jumped out of the painting and into the guy's arms where they kissed each other.
Courage then tugged on Shaggy pants, looking down at him, Shaggy saw that he was pointing over to Mona's painting that Muriel was still stuck in.
Nodding, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage went over to it and brought it over, raising it above their heads, they then slammed it over Mona and the guy she was kissing. Flipping the painting over, the trio realized they forgot something that made make them feel like idiots.
"Oh, my," Muriel said shocked as the two were now kissing her cheeks.
"Blech," Courage said in shock and embarrassment.
"Oops," Shaggy said, in embarrassment.
Suddenly, the purple glowing aura from earlier came back and surrounded every painting and sculpture again.
"Oh no," Courage gasped, realizing they're out of time.
"Quick, grab her hand," Shaggy said, as he reached in the painting and grabbed Muriel's right hand while Scooby and Courage grabbed her left.
The three pulled as hard and as quick as they can and managed to get Muriel out just in time.
"Yes!" Courage shouted in joy, that Muriel as back safe and sound now.
"Like, Aunt Muriel, are you okay?" Shaggy asked.
"I'm alright dear," Muriel reassured her nephew.
"Oh Muriel, I missed you so much," Courage said, as he give a hug to his owner.
"It's okay Courage I'm here. But remember that no matter where You Shaggy And Scooby are, I'm with you three no matter what," Muriel assured her dog.
"Thanks Muriel," Courage smiled.
Hearing a sound come nearby, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage looked up and saw that the Thinker was still in that painting of the diner trying to think of what to order. But this time, there was a waiter trying to take his order.
"Ah, you boys are true artists," Muriel said getting the trio's attention.
Turning to face her, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage saw that she pointing at another painting, this one had a farmer and his wife with a farmhouse in the back of them.
"Look, that one reminds me of home," Muriel said.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Courage asked his best friends with a smile as he picked up Muriel.
Shaggy and Scooby smiled, both nodded.
"Rure am," Scooby answered.
"Like, let's go," Shaggy stated.
The family then ran up to the painting and jumped into it, despite the fact the Mars and Venus are no longer aligned. Once in the painting, the family ran to the farmhouse, the farmer and his wife looking surprise that they just did that.
"Like sisters, don't you boys agree?" Muriel asked, as she hung up the photo, Courage took of her and The Mona Lisa.
"Uh-huh!/Ruh-huh!" Shaggy, Scooby and Courage nodded in agreement.
"I wonder when Eustace will be getting back?" Muriel asked.
"I just hope he can find a pair of clothes before heading back," Courage said.
Back at the museum now that everything is frozen, Eustace was stuck in the position as the thinker.
"This itch is killing me," Eustace complained, "Somebody scratch my back."
The guard walked by the Eustace statue and said, "Stupid America."
EPILOGUE
"Hey guys, I got mail from Shaggy and Scooby," Velma said, as he had a box sent to them from her house.
"Jeepers, what did they get us?" Daphne asked.
Velma opened the package and grabbed a few things, "Jinkies! I got a a designer computer bag. For Daphne, you got a new scarf and Fred you got a new ascot."
"Jeepers and it's from Coco Chanel," Daphne said, as she loved her new scarf.
"Nice new ascot," Fred said, looking at his ascot.
"Jinkies, there's more," Velma said, as she grabbed the last item from the box.
"What is it Velma?" Fred asked.
Velma grabbed a picture of Shaggy, Scooby and a little pink beagle named Courage.
Fred and Daphne scoot over to get a look.
"Jeepers, is it the little dog that Shaggy and Scooby told us about?" Daphne asked.
"Looks like it Daphne," Fred responded.
"Oh my gosh, he is so cute!" Daphne said, finding Courage adorable.
"I wander how Shaggy and Scooby are doing?" Velma asked.
"Who knows Velma, I hope they're having a good time," Fred said.
Little did Fred, Daphne and Velma know Shaggy and Scooby are having lots a adventures with Courage, more than they could imagine.
Well that's all for this chapter, next will be Night of the Scarecrow. I like to thank schweenieboy for the quotes and ideas. 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.
Night of the Scarecrow: After leaving a county fair, the family get lost through a cornfield and crash into a scarecrow. They take him home where Muriel fixes him up and makes him a mouth so he can talk. He soon becomes depressed when he is not scary enough to frighten away Muriel's attackers, so he decides to train himself to be a much stronger and scarier scarecrow to protect Muriel.
