Story Theme Song
Crystal and Ruby, they're here on Earth,
Blending in, finding their worth,
With Shaggy, Scooby, and Amber too,
Living life and trying something new.
Scooby-Doo and the Starstone Crew,
Living life, and we need you!
From yoga mornings to the crystal light,
We're making memories, feeling right.
In Chicago's skyline, they make their stand,
Keeping secrets with a hologram.
Ruby's learning to fit right in,
At Michelle Obama Middle, that's where she'll begin.
Scooby-Doo and the Starstone Crew,
Living life, and we need you!
From yoga mornings to the crystal light,
We're making memories, feeling right.
With every sunrise, a new day starts,
Charging crystals, playing their parts.
Facing challenges, never backing down,
In the heart of the city, we won't drown.
Scooby-Doo and the Starstone Crew,
Living life, and we need you!
From yoga mornings to the crystal light,
We're making memories, feeling right.
So join us now, we're on the move,
With Crystal, Ruby, and the Scooby-Doo groove.
In the city or the stars above,
We're finding joy with the power of love!

Crystal's planet and culture
Crystal's people, the Modavitians, live in a solar system of five planets. They orbit a yellow sun like others. The first two planets are gas planets. The first planet is Simber, which has a pinkish-gold color to it. It's the size of Neptune and has the same length of an orbit around the sun. It has a single moon about the size of Neptune's largest moon. The second planet is precisely like Uranus. However, it's called Quill.
Moldavite is slightly larger than Earth, with rings identical to Saturn's and an environment similar to Earth's. Moldavites' rotation around their sun is the same as Venus's. Their moons are the sizes of the smallest moons around Saturn. They're known as Selenite, Adularia, and Moonstone.
Modavitians are very advanced technology-wise. But again, they are primarily pacifists, only using self-defense. They have a deep respect for things being in harmony. Despite their large crystal cities, they have set aside sanctuaries for their rare and exotic natural lifeforms. Their plants are similar to those found on Pandora from Avatar. Their animals look like hybrids of Earth animals mixed in with mythological creatures.
They enjoy exploring other worlds and learning about new cultures. They've large brains, so they've higher IQs then the average human. Education to them is essential, as is their spiritual connection with gems. They've no concept of money or clothing. Their government is a constitutional monarch. They age at half the rate of humans. They do reproduce the same way as humans, though.
They are omnivores but can't tolerate things with sugar or gluten in them as their bodies can't metabolize them. Their language sounds like a mix of Esperanto and English. They do learn languages from other worlds in school.
They do believe in two deities. The male one is Jasper, and the female one is Jancinth. They're similar to God and Mary. They've their own unique holidays and customs. They don't believe in anything that I consider poison. Alcohol, smoking, drugs, gambling. They also believe everything in nature is sacred and has a soul. They don't believe in the death penalty. They're against any form of killing unless its an absolute last resort.
They are big on accountability and showing others respect. Also, they would instead offer any offenders a chance at redemption. They also strongly believe in what MLP is called The Elements of Harmony. So, they believe strongly in generosity, honesty, loyalty, kindness, optimism, empathy, and forgiveness.
The other two planets are Artime and Nevaeh. Both are about the size of Mars. Artime is a nature sanctuary whose caretakers are called Tethys. Nevaeh is a religious planet. Those seeking enlightenment and wanting to be closer to whoever their deity comes here. They also took in refugees from other worlds. They're known as the Followers. Both Tethys and the Followers are vegan and pacifists.
Due to their rotation, they have a different way of keeping track of time. However, they have named their months after Earth birthstones. They do have space stations and colonies on their moons. Or at least research stations.
Their courtship rituals and weddings are different from those of humans. They do live in most terms as long as humans. But again, it is slightly different than humans because they keep track of time. Their society does value strong bonds between family and friends. And again, when visiting other worlds, they take great care to research it to blend in perfectly. Sometimes, kids experiment with their disusing technology to see what they look like as other species.
They have several holidays and other celebrations, some similar to Earth's cultures. They measure their weeks in ten days, and their seasons are named after the gemstones associated with each season.
