Here's a another, enjoy.
(Reedited 5/03/22)
It was a another day at the Bagge farm, Shaggy and Scooby spent the morning in their suite eating snacks and watching television, Muriel was in her chair with Courage on her lap smiling, Eustace was in his chair reading the paper.
"Like this is the life," Shaggy said.
"Reah," Scooby agreed.
"Food and television always go together," Shaggy said.
"Reah of course," Scooby agreed, once again.
"Bald? We want you!' Ooh!" Eustace suddenly said reading the paper. "Gone today. Hair tomorrow. Experimental institute," Eustace finished reading before putting down his paper smiling, he then took off his hat and started rubbing his shiny bald hat which made a squeaking sound as he did so.
"Eustace, Eustace, can you please fix this creak in my chair?" Muriel asked, referring to the creaking her chair made every time it moved.
"Not now, going out for a while," Eustace said as he stood up from his chair.
"Then you should take Courage for his haircut, and bring Shaggy and Scooby along as well," Muriel told him.
This caused Eustace to stomp his foot in protest so hard that it shook the house a bit. Shaggy, Scooby and Courage felt hard lumps of apprehension in their stomach, they weren't sure they want to tag along with Eustace, but had no choice regardless.
"You look good enough to me," Eustace growled out to Courage just ignored him and continued to bounce along to the music that was playing from the radio.
Courage curiously turned his glance towards the old farmer and saw the look of excitement in his eyes. I wonder what he's so happy about?
"Like, what do you think we're going instead Scoob?" Shaggy asked his best friend.
"RI don't know Raggy," Scooby shrugged.
After a couple more minutes, the truck come to a sudden stop. Getting up, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage look to the side and saw a building so tall that they could not see the top.
"Zoinks, that is one tall tower," Shaggy said, astonish.
"Rou could say that again," Scooby agreed.
"Experimental institute," Courage said reading the sign near the truck.
"Come on," Eustace said as he dragged Courage inside the building with Shaggy and Scooby following.
Getting inside the building, the four looked around before finding an elevator, heading in, Eustace pressed the correct button with the doors closing, the elevator then began going up and after a few minutes, they've reached the correct floor.
Stepping out of the elevator, they went down the surprisingly long hallway until they reached the correct room. Seeing some chairs next to them, they all sat down with Eustace tying Courage's leash to the leg of the chair.
After about half an hour, they've finally heard the doors open, they all turned to it and saw an elderly man come out of the room.
"Thank you, oh, thank you, and thank you and thanks, oh, thank you," the man said as he shook the hand of someone else. After letting go, the door slammed closed, once it was, the man reached into his pocket and took out a small bottle before kissing it and leaving.
"Wow, he sure like seems happy with that bottle, huh guys," Shaggy said to his friends.
"Reah," Scooby said.
"Yeah, no kidding," Courage added. Perhaps a little to happy...
"BAGGE!" someone called out from the room that man just came out of.
"That's me, you all stay here, stupid dogs and stupid nephew," Eustace demanded as he got up and entered the room.
Like, what's he thinking were going? Shaggy thought, as he rolled his eyes.
Courage was thinking of something else, what was that old grumpy farmer up to? "Something smells fishy or my name's Slinkenhoffer, and it's not," he said to his friends once Eustace closed the door.
Shaggy know what the pink beagle meant, he noticed something off about this place and wondered what. "Yeah, like something's not right about this place," he agreed.
Scooby share the same concern as his friends, something about this building made his fur prickled, "Really suspicious," he added.
A half an hour later Courage needed to go to the bathroom feeling uncomfortable in his bladder, Shaggy noticed his discomfort.
"You like, need to go to the bathroom Courage?" Shaggy asked.
"What do you think?" Courage asked, as he struggled not to pee while taking off his collar.
"RI got ya," Scooby said, as he opened the collar and removed it from his neck.
"Thanks," Courage said, before getting off the chair and dashing to where the bathroom is.
Shaggy turned to his dog and said, "Come on Scoob. Let's see if there's like a cafeteria around here, I'm starved."
"Reah," Scooby agreed, feeling hungry as well, as he and Shaggy started to walk to the find the cafeteria. "Re, too."
Walking down the hall, Courage passed by many doors and chairs before eventually getting to the bathroom, entering it, he saw the man from earlier entering as well. Heading into the stall, Courage proceeded to do his business, after a moment, He finished and flushed the toilet before exiting the stall.
But once the pink dog did, he saw the man from earlier take out the bottle and apply whatever was in it to his head. Making him pause, Courage began to watch him silently, he placed the bottle on the sink and washed his hands. Finished, he then tried to take out some paper from the dispenser to dry his hands but couldn't get any.
The old man then started to get angry, so angry that his head became red with blood lines appearing in his head, Courage was frozen with horror and disbelief. The man's teeth also started to grind a bit. Courage watched in horror as the old man with each passing second, got madder and madder with the whole place starting to shake, Courage went into the toilet to hide. After a few more seconds, he heard a massive explosion happen, daring a peek, Courage looked outside and saw a massive hole in the wall where the paper towel dispenser was. For a heartbeat, Courage froze.
Trembling with shock, Courage picked up the bottle the man had, and began to examine it, turning it around, he saw a warning on the bottle. "Warning, when using, do not get angry, do not get mad, do not get upset or else," he gasped in horror, feeling his body pulsing with fear.
"Oh, my," the man said when he realized what he caused, he then ran out of the bathroom in panic.
Shaggy and Scooby had just walked out of the cafeteria, they were stuffed, Scooby had food crumbs all over his face. Suddenly they heard Courage screaming, they turned and saw Courage running towards them. Courage didn't see were he was going, and accidentally bumped into the two. They all groaned, as they started to get up the floor.
"Like Courage, what's got into you?" Shaggy said, as he rubbed his head in pain, he looked at the pink beagle, his eyes widened in fear.
"Guys, there's something wrong with the bottle, look!" Courage answered seriously, as he handed the bottle to the two.
Shaggy grabbed the bottle, as he and Scooby read it and their eyes widened with terror.
"Like, what kind of crazy side effects are they making!?" Shaggy gasped, in disbelief.
"Rait…..Rustace is getting the same thing," Scooby said after a moment.
The three friends froze as they came to a horrifying revelation and give each other terrified glances "Oh no/Ro no."
"We have to warn him," Courage said worried before he, Shaggy and Scooby started running down the hallway.
A few moments later, they all returned to the door which Eustace entered, getting there, they saw Eustace holding the bottle while shaking a gloved hand of someone.
"AH! Thanks," Eustace said as the door closed, he then kissed the bottle like the man from before did.
When he saw the three running towards him, he growled in anger.
"Uncle Eustace, like, Throw that bottle away!" Shaggy gasped.
"Rit's dangerous!" Scooby exclaimed, while Courage transformed into the guy from earlier and repeated what happened in the bathroom.
"How'd you get off your leash? Did you two let him go?" Eustace asked, ignoring what they just said.
"ARRGG!" Courage growled with frustration, before grabbing his leash and placing it back on himself and tried to warn him again.
"Uncle Eustace, please something bad will happen if you use that bottle!" Shaggy begged.
"Reah," Scooby pleaded. "Rhrow it away! Rhrow it away!"
"Come on stupid dogs and stupid nephew," Eustace growled as he grabbed Courage's leash and dragged him out.
"But-But! This is not good," Courage said grimly, as he tried to pull against the leash and not get choked.
"Oh man Scoob," Shaggy whined, "Uncle Eustace is way worse than the gang. At least they didn't ignore us."
"Reah," Scooby agreed, while whimpering, knowing they can do nothing to change Eustace's mind.
In the truck, the four were about half way home, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage felt their stomachs lurching when they saw Eustace apply the bottle to his bald head, the cowardly trio gulped in fear, knowing things were going to get ugly.
"Ah, none of you won't recognize me with hair," Eustace taunted with a smirk.
Yeah, if we like ever survived, for how long it takes. Shaggy thought to himself.
Scooby suddenly cut of Shaggy's thoughts, "RUSTACE! RATCH OUT!"
Eustace quickly turned around and all of them scream the trio's hearts lurched, Eustace braked just in time before he hit the upcoming intersection where someone stopped in the dead center.
"Watch where you're goin', ya fool!" a man with sunglasses, name Di Lung shouted at Eustace as he raised his closed fist at the four.
Eustace started to growl, his growling increase, Eustace's head started to go red in anger with veins appearing on his head as well.
Scooby and Shaggy, huddled together, their hearts pounding so loudly in their ears, that they couldn't hear Eustace's growls and watch in terror as Eustace grows more and more angry. Courage felt his blood ran cold and would of jumped to the back with them, if Eustace wasn't holding onto his leash while holding the wheel. All Courage could do was trembled in fear, as he watch with horrified eyes as Eustace gets redder and redder.
After a moment, the three heard an explosion come from behind them, Getting up and turning around, The trio felt horror shrilled through them as they saw that Di Lung's car had exploded and he was now sent flying through the air before disappearing. Eustace was painting as he was struggling to catch his breath.
"I like, think we're in trouble guys," Shaggy whispered to Scooby and Courage in fear.
"This is definitely not good," Courage whispered in agreement, still shaking after Eustace's episode.
Arriving at the house took a little longer as to Shaggy and Scooby's surprise, Eustace actually took Courage to get his haircut, Something that Shaggy and Scooby learned that Courage despised. After that, they all headed back home.
Getting there, they got out of the truck and walked up to the house, Opening the door, they all saw Muriel rocking in her chair that was still making that creaking sound. Heading in, Shaggy and Scooby went and sat down on the couch while Eustace sat in his chair, Courage went and laid down on the pillow that was next to Muriel.
"Oh, Courage, what a lovely haircut," Muriel said smiling at Courage.
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage turned to Eustace, as he use more of the product.
"Oh-no," Courage said, cold fear ran along his spine.
"Rot more," Scooby added stiffened, his heart was pounding.
Eustace rub what he put into his scalp.
"We gotta get that bottle away from him," Shaggy whispered to Scooby and Courage.
They nodded in agreement, but before they could do anything else, Muriel spoke up.
"Eustace, can't you fix this dreadful squeak?" Muriel asked, unaware of the danger she was in.
"OH!" Courage yelped, terror lit his gaze as Eustace continued to rub his head.
"Ruh-oh," Scooby added, feeling horror in his gut.
"Eustace," Murel said, a bit more loudly to get his attention.
"Yeah, alright," Eustace said as he took out a hammer and approached Muriel's chair before hitting the legs of the chair with the hammer.
But with each swing of the hammer, the trio got more and more worried for Muriel, they could hardly breathe. Courage imagined Eustace getting so angry Muriel ended up exploding.
"Guys, I have an idea," Courage whispered to Shaggy and Scooby.
"Like whatever it is make it quick," Shaggy whispered in dread, "Looks like Uncle Eustace is about to blow up."
Courage nodded and ran to the kitchen, and as he came with his bowl before making gestures to show that he was hungry, Muriel took the bowl from him and went into the kitchen. But as soon as she did, Eustace started to get angry like he did with Di Lung and everything in the house started to shake, the trio shook and whimpered, as he Eustace growled in anger, soon, the phone began to rang. Eustace turned to the phone which exploded soon after.
"Like zoinks," Shaggy exclaimed in fear.
Courage gave out a whine of horror, Eustace then moved to his chair and pulled out a mirror and began to check to see if any hair had grown yet, he growled when he found none.
"EUSTACE!" Muriel called out from the kitchen.
He frowned and got up and went to the kitchen, anxious and fearful the cowardly trio followed him and saw Muriel struggling to open a can of dog food.
"Can one of you open this darn can for me?" Muriel asked.
"Like, I'll do it," Shaggy said as grabbed the can.
But before the cowardly teen could open it, Eustace snatched it from him and tried to open it himself, but quickly found that he couldn't open it easily, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage, were getting frightened again as they watch Eustace getting red again. Getting angry, Eustace tried different ways of opening it but each failed and got him only angrier, soon the entire room followed by house started to shake. Yet Muriel seemed to not notice it as she cleaned some dishes, the trio gasped in terror, as they watch Eustace in horror.
"Like follow my lead," Shaggy whispered to the two dogs, as he had an idea, they nodded and follow him.
The three went outside and grabbed mail from the mailbox, they went to the front door quickly and rang the doorbell, Muriel opened the door the see Scooby holding the letters.
"Rou got the mail," Scooby said, as he handed her some mail.
"Thank you, dearies," Muriel said as she grabbed the mail.
But as she grabbed the mail, a loud explosion was heard from the kitchen forcing the three to duck and cover their heads, all the while Muriel seemed unaware of it.
The four went to the living room, by the time they got there, Eustace went up to Muriel and handed her the dog food.
"Here," Eustace said, bitterly as he went to his chair and sat down.
"Thank you, Eustace," Muriel said smiling, unaware of what just happened.
Eustace went to sit down and his chair and then grabbed the bottle added nearly twice as much as he did previously.
"Like, that's a lot," Shaggy nervously pointed it out.
Scooby and Courage gave out nervous whines, hearing some creaking, they all turned saw Muriel rocking back and forth in her chair with a cloth and thread in her hands.
"Eustace," Muriel called out while glaring at her chair.
"Stay calm, stay calm," Courage said as he began to rub Eustace's feet.
"You still haven't fix the chair," Muriel said, unaware of Eustace's anger.
Eustace grumbled in annoyance, making Shaggy and Scooby nervous and Courage rubbing Eustace's feet faster.
"Such a dreadful noise it's making," Muriel said.
"Like, stay calm, like stay calm," Shaggy said, as he waved a giant leave at Eustace.
"Can you fix the chair Eustace?" Muriel asked, unaware of what's going on.
This made Shaggy wave the leaf faster, as his heart begin to pound with fear.
"I know you can fix it, if you try," Muriel said, trying to be encouraging.
Scooby then played the a giant harp while saying, "Ray calm, stay calm."
"Eustace? Well, if you can't fix my chair, can you at least thread my needle?" Muriel asked as she handed him a needle with thread.
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage felt anxious , knowing how frustrating it could be.
"Yeah, fine," Eustace said, as he took the needle and thread and tried to thread it.
Scooby, Shaggy and Courage gasped in fear. Eustace missed each time he attempted it, after a few more tries and fails, he grew increasingly frustrated, with the trio growing more and more scared. Seeing as he was distracted, Courage snuck to his side and tried to take the bottle away from him, but without looking.
Almost there... Courage thought, pleadingly.
Eustace grabbed the bottle as soon as Courage did and poured some more of the product onto his head with Courage still holding onto it, setting it back down, Eustace rubbed his head while Courage let go off the bottle and wobbled around dizzy. All the trio could do was shake in terror as they watch Eustace getting increasingly frustrated with each failed attempt to thread the needle, soon the house started to shake.
"Oh, it's getting a bit windy in here," Muriel said, when she noticed the rumbling.
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage saw that veins started to appear on his now red face, their blood ran cold.
"I like think we need to get out of here," Shaggy whispered to the two dogs.
Courage nodded, not needing to be told twice as he picked up Muriel's chair to carry her, the three then all made their way to the door but found it blocked by the grandfather clock that tipped over. The three panicked trying to find a way out, all the while screaming, but stopped when the house stopped shaking and they heard a 'boing' sound.
"Oh," Eustace said shocked.
Turning back to him, they saw that he now had a single spiral of red hair on his head, he pulled out a mirror and became happy at what he saw.
"Oh look guys, he like got a hair," Shaggy said, pointing.
Bur then the hair fell down.
"Oh boy/Ro boy," Shaggy, Scooby and Courage said in unsion, while looking at each other.
That was the last straw for Eustace, as he got angrier, and redder than he ever did before, with the house shaking even more violently than before.
Courage screamed in terror.
"LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" Shaggy, as he Scooby and Courage ran through the wall of the house and ran as fast as they could away from the house.
After a few seconds, they're all sent flying further when the house exploded, the three than shook all of the dust off, as they got up, looking around, they saw Muriel continuing to sew unaware of everything.
Getting back to the house, everything but the couch was destroyed. Shaggy and Scooby sit down on the couch, they relaxed, having snacks and calmed themselves down from what just happened.
"Boys, remind me to tell Eustace, whenever that man gets back, to fix this chair," Muriel asked the three.
"We will/Re will," The three answered at the same time, for now they just wanted to relax from everything they been through today.
Well that's all for this chapter. I didn't realize until I was older that the ending was dark, being Eustace explode at the end of the episode. Man what a grizzly ending. Until then VK is out peace!
