The family were in the truck, heading back to the farmhouse from the groceries so Muriel can make dinner. Then suddenly, Eustace hit something, with his truck, as evident by the squelching sound that greeted their ears.

"Zoinks!" Shaggy yelped in the back, before Scooby jumped into Shaggy's lap in fright.

Courage give a shriek of alarm, his heart hammering in sudden panic. He clang onto Muriel and panted with fear. "What in flying animal kingdom was that?!" he asked, terrified.

"Like, don't know little pink dude," Shaggy muttered, still shaken by the sudden jump-scare, as he looked at the window shield, that was covered in green slim. "But whatever it is, it's really big."

"I think you hit something, or someone," Muriel said with worry.

Eustace did a sharp U-turn before driving forward a bit, looking around, the family saw that they did indeed hit something. Getting out, the family walked up to it with Shaggy, Scooby and Courage behind Muriel.

"Oh, my," Muriel gasped when the trio realized that Eustace hit a giant BUG.

Terror filled Scooby immediately, panic was now at a breaking point inside of him, "RA BUG!" Scooby screamed out in horror, "Ret away! Ret away! Ret away!"

Scooby had a really bad fear of bugs, when he was a puppy, a swarm got into his and Shaggy's house in Coosville. That frightful day haunted Scooby for months. He wake up at night soaked in sweat, convinced the house was being invaded by blood-sucking bugs. Going camping with his friends and family, he'd keep his eyes on the ground, convinced that an army of bugs were going to consume him. And now those nightmares were coming true.

"My goodness Scooby calm down, it's just a wee bug dear," Muriel reassured the cowardly Great Dane.

"Rut it's a big bug," Scooby whimpered, trembling behind his owner, who was also shivering, but also comfortingly patted Scooby on the back. He knew that his dog had a very nasty fear of bugs.

"Hello," the bug greeted weakly.

Scooby and Courage shuddered with fear and disgust, while Shaggy was holding tightly to the dogs. Shaggy picked up Courage and held him like a toddler.

"Are you okay?" Muriel asked.

"But for the fractured thorax, the ruptured rostrum, and the shredded forewing, not to mention a nasty swelling in most of my ankles—I'm fine," it answered.

"Well, that's good, let's go home," Shaggy suggested hastily, wanting to get away from this bug as far as possible. Scooby and Courage rapidly nodded agreement with him.

"We better take you home and make sure you're okay," Muriel offered, clearly concerned over the bug's wellbeing. "We live just up the road."

"MURIEL?! MURIEL! GET YOUR FOOD MAKING MITTS BACK INTO THIS TRUCK AND LET'S GO HOME!" Eustace shouted from his truck.

"Man, like I hope Aunt Muriel doesn't invite him for dinner," Shaggy whispered fearfully to Scooby and Courage. The said-dogs both nodded and shook with dread.

"I was just going to make dinner, why don't you join us?" Muriel offered.

Shaggy, Scooby and Courage all groaned with dismay.

"Rhe did," Scooby groaned miserably.

"I don't have a good feeling about this," Courage gulped, "Or my name is Jiminy Cricket, and it's not."

"I don't want to impose," the bug told Muriel. "Although I am feeling a tad peaked."

The family and the bug were back at the house and just finished dinner.

"I'm a weevil actually, a Jeeves Weevil," the Weevil answered while wiping his 'mouth' with a napkin.

"I never heard of a Jeeves Weevil," Muriel admitted as she gathered the plates.

"Commonly known as the butler bug, madam," the Weevil added.

"Like, I didn't know there was such a thing as butler bugs," Shaggy muttered.

Scooby frowned, "RI really hate bugs," he had been nervous with anticipation since they went home. Not evening his dinner was distracting from the fact they're dining with a creepy BUGGY-EYED BUG.

"No need to worry dog, we don't hurt others, in fact, we live to serve," the Weevil told the cowardly Great Dane.

"Trusting him less and less," Courage frowned letting out a light growl. Courage looked quickly, Scooby looked up at the weevil, he could tell the fear in the Great Dane's eyes that Scooby is not trusting him either. He shared the same fear and suspicions like Courage was.

"Allow me," the Weevil said before getting up and helping Muriel with the pie and watermelon she was carrying.

"Oh, gracious me," Muriel said with surprise when she sat down and the Weevil pushed the seat closer to the table.

"And we didn't pay him anything," Shaggy said to his friends.

"All the more reason, not to trust this bug," Courage sneered to the cowardly teen.

"Thanks, I'm not used to such treatment." Muriel admitted.

"My dear lady, you should be primped, plumped and pampered daily," the Weevil told her.

"Oh, oh my," Muriel gasped while clearly imagining what a life like that would be.

A shiver ran along Scooby's spine, tightness gripped his chest and he struggled to steady his breathing, "Rhe way he said those things, is giving me the willies," he swallowed. Rhere is something weird and suspicious about that bug. Rand not just because he's a bug.

"You got that right Scoob," Shaggy gulped.

And as usual, Eustace just had to ruin it. "Blah, blah, blah. Whoever is serving pie serve pie," he demanded.

"A hard-working man such as yourself deserves the biggest slice," the Weevil said while cutting the pie and serving Eustace his slice.

"Blah, blah, huh? Yeah, that's right. Bug's got a good head on... whatever he has under his head," Eustace said before eating his pie.

The Weevil then served Shaggy, Scooby and Courage some slices before patting Shaggy on the back, it felt like a snake, cold and heavy.

Shaggy sat frozen in horror, struggling to stop himself from shaking, "H-H-H-He touch me," he stammered, terrified.

Scooby and Courage slid their paws onto Shaggy's shoulders, trying to calm his down. He was shivering.

"Mr. Weevil, would you like some watermelon with your pie?" Muriel asked.

"Watermelon, thank you yes," the Weevil answered as he sat down.

His tongue then came from his mouth and attached itself to the watermelon, he then ate the watermelon in its entirety as if he was drinking it, even the skin of the watermelon he ate. Once he was done, he looked up and saw the family's shocked faces, it was deathly silent. Shaggy, Scooby and Courage glance at one another with uncertainty and fear in their eyes.

"Oh, goodness me, I must have been hungrier than I thought," the bug explained.

Pushing away from the table, Shaggy jumped to stand, trying to keep his distance all the while, "You know what? I'm done."

"Re too," Scooby agreed, his mind whirling as he also excuse himself from the table.

"Me three," Courage added, as he also excuse himself from the table.

"Oh, yeah, your good," Eustace moaned in his chair as the Weevil gave him a shoulder massage.

Shaggy, Scooby and Courage were on the steps watching him making sure he doesn't do anything, while Muriel was washing the dishes.

"Rhat does he want Rourage?" Scooby asked, the cowardly pink beagle. Obviously scared of this bug butler, or he is one.

"I don't know. But it can't be good," Courage said, trying to utilize logic and reason behind why the Weevil is insisting on serving them.

"Like, as much as I don't like Uncle Eustace, I don't like seeing that bug touching my uncle," Shaggy stated.

"Oh, yeah, ah me," Eustace moaned in bliss clearly enjoying the massage.

Shaggy, Scooby and Courage's eyes widened when the Weevil's tongue came back out and attached itself to Eustace with sickening SUCKLING sound that filled Shaggy, Scooby and Courage's ears coming right after. Shaggy, Scooby and Courage watched sickened they were screeching and shaking with horror, the Weevil stopped with his tongue going back in his head.

"Did you see that? He just sucked some blood right out of my uncle!" Shaggy cried out.

Scooby felt a pool of dread and nausea settle into his stomach, and suddenly he felt like his usual appetite was not only dead but needing to purge his stomach. He was given this sudden urge to curl up into a ball and hide.

"I haven't felt this relax in years," Eustace moaned as the Weevil finished the massage and doing whatever else it did to him.

"A hard-working gentleman such as yourself needn't suffer the slings and arrows of pains and aches," the Weevil told him.

"You're all right but..." Eustace began before letting out a massive yawn. "I could use a nap, oh yeah, relax."

"Oh zoinks," Shaggy whimpered in horror, shock and his stomach was flipping when Eustace stood and all his clothes fell off as he somehow got skinnier.

Whatever that bug did to him, it turned Eustace into basically a bone.

Scooby found himself fighting off a fainting spell, his head felt heavy. He leaned against the stair-rail for support.

"Stupid dogs and nephew," Eustace mocked as he climbed up the stairs while holding his boxers so they don't fall down.

I wish he hadn't seen that! Courage thought, shaking and numb with horror.

"I'll take in his trousers. I do say I'm quite nimble with a thimble, I studied at the tailoring academy at stitch on time," the Weevil told the horrified trio while laughing as he carried brought Eustace's clothes to him.

Scooby's body seemed to lose weight within that moment as he felt light, as though someone drained him of every last shred of energy. His brain begin to fail him as any control he might have over himself easily slithered away like a tide. His paws felt weak much like the rest of his body which had now paled greatly. even as the world crashed and behind his eyes he was met with unfeeling darkness.

Shaggy caught Scooby as he fainted into his arms, he looked as his Great Dane to see if he was alright.

"This is not good," Courage murmured.

That night, Courage was on his masters' bed worrying, about himself and his family. Eustace was fall asleep quicker than usual, thanks to the Weevil, that sucked some blood out of him, Muriel was getting ready to take a bath before going to bed.

Then the Weevil came into the bedroom, with towels under his antenna. "My lady, I've drawn you a bath. I take the liberty of adding aromatherapy ails and mineral salts...fresh from Madagascar and the Nile Valley."

Fear was claiming over Courage's body as his body was shaking violently.

"It's like going to a spa," Muriel, said happily. "Whatever can we do to ever pay you for such a wonderful treatment? Especially after we hit our with our truck."

"Your happiness is all the thanks I need," the Weevil said, bowing down to the old woman.

"Well at least spend the night," Muriel insisted, as she headed to the bathroom.

"I don't want to impose, although I am feeling a tad weary," the Weevil responded, suspiciously, as he followed Muriel to the bathroom.

Courage was silently panicking, he had to make sure the Weevil isn't do anything to Muriel, he scattered off the bed and peak into the hallway. Fortunately, the Weevil was outside of the bathroom, so Muriel was safe for now, but that didn't stop him from poking at the door with his tongue. Terror raced through Courage like a train.

The Weevil then turned and stared an intense gaze at Courage, it made his skin crawl with distress and his fur begin to stand on the edge of fear. Finally what seemed to me like an eternity, the Weevil walked away from the bathroom door and upstairs. Courage's heart was beating at his chest, he was to frightened to even scream. He need to go upstairs, to make sure that bug doesn't hurt his friends.

Shaggy and Scooby lay under a mountain of tangled blankets unable to flow into their undisturbed dreams. Shaggy, being on the edge of the bed closest to the window, glanced outside at the moon and shook with fright. Tonight, the Weevil was spending the night here, all the more reason to be worried. Scooby looked out the window in the dead of the night, it was just enough to creep him out.

"Gee Scoob, I like, really hate it when there's creepy guests every time they come here," Shaggy said in a high-pitched tone.

"Rah Raggy," Scooby replied.

"Scooby, I think I'm going to try to get some shut eye," Shaggy said, stifling a yawn.

"Re too," Scooby reply back.

Just then there was a knock on the door, startling the two best friends, sharp chills shot through their pulsating veins.

"C-C-C-Come in," Shaggy stammered, he begged for it to be just Aunt Muriel, Courage or even Uncle Eustace.

To their dismay, the Weevil opened their door, to their room and asked, "Want me to read you a bedtime story, young man?"

Shaggy fought hard to control the quaking tremble in his voice, the fear gripping at him made it a rather pointless battle, "N-N-No thank you, besides, I'm 17, and I'm too old for bedtime stories."

"Rut, I thought you like bedtime stories," Scooby pointed out, with a confused look on his face.

"Scooby, shush!" Shaggy hissed desperately to the cowardly Great Dane, trying to keep him quiet.

"Well, if you need me, I'll be downstairs, ready to serve you young man," the butler bug said, as he went out of the attic.

Shaggy and Scooby both breathed out heavily, feeling a cool sense of relief. that weevil is leaving alone. For now anyway.

"Like, that was close," Shaggy placed a hand to his chest.

Then Courage appeared and walked into the attic and hopped onto Shaggy's bed, he could tell that their eyes were stretched wide with terror, and Scooby's fur was standing on end, "Are you guys okay?" he barked in alarm.

"Reah, we're fine Rourage," Scooby responded, his heart still thumping with adrenaline.

"Did he touch any of you?" Courage asked, his voice cracking from worry.

"No, but like, he wanted to read me a bedtime story," Shaggy answered softly.

"Aren't you a little old for a bedtime story?" Courage asked, finding it a little off and past his time.

"No, no I'm not," Shaggy responded defensively, as he crossed his arms.

"Ranyway, what do you think the bug is really after?" Scooby asked the cowardly pink beagle.

"I have no idea, I just hope he doesn't do anything to Muriel," Courage answered, shaking with a sickening feeling that weevil might hurt Muriel or his friends next.

"I hope so too man, but for right now, let's get try to some sleep," Shaggy suggested, putting his hand on Courage's arm.

"Ro you want to sleep with us Rourage?" Scooby offered, he looked the poor little beagle, he could tell that he was terrified.

"No thanks, I need to keep an eye on Muriel to make sure that bug doesn't do anything to hurt her," Courage answered regretfully, he really didn't not want to face this alone. But he needed to protect his Muriel as all cost.

Shaggy comfortingly pat Courage's shoulder once more, "Okay little pink dude, well the door's always open when you wanna sleep with me and Scoob."

Scooby's heart clenched with anxiety at things that could happen to Courage and Muriel, "Rand be careful," he barked.

"Thanks, and you too," Courage assured Scooby, as he hopped out of the bed, went out of the attic, close the door and went downstairs for bed.

Shaggy turned off the lamp next to his bed, "Night Scoob, he murmured, as lay down and closed his eyes.

Scooby closed his eyes, "Right Raggy," he mumbled.

THACK! THACK!

Courage woke up, cracked his eyes opened and give out a little shriek, when he woke up to a noise, that sounded like tapping on a window. A ripple of fear rushed through him, but the bedroom was still dark. It was the middle of the night, pale moonlight drifted through the window.

"W-W-Who's there?" Courage quaked, as he nervously scanning the bedroom. He lifted his head up at the ceiling and saw the weevil up on the ceiling.

Courage jolted upright with fear and give out a gasped of fright, as he dashed over to Muriel and try to gently shook her wake. "Muriel, Muriel, wake up, wake up."

"Courage, that lovely bath got me very sleepy, let's talk in the morning," Muriel mummered in her sleep.

"Oh-no," Courage whimpered, as he realize his owner is not gonna wake up anytime soon. The only thing he can do is hide under the covers between his owners, willing his mind to ignore the Weevil and hope that bug would just leave them alone.

Unfortunately, that wasn't the case, as he heard more sucking sounds coming from the Weevil. This was gonna be a long night.

THACK! THACK!

Shaggy and Scooby both shot straight up, their hearts racing. That sound, it was like someone had tapped a window.

THACK! THACK!

Shaggy screamed in sheer blind terror, as he grabbed the bedspread and pulling it over his head. "It's the weevil!"

Scooby gave a little howl of alarm, as he jumped into the bed with his owner and they both plunged themselves deeper into the bed, Scooby's noise poking out of a small fold in the blankets, quivering in the cold air.

They shivered and shook, clutching one another tightly, hearts thumping loudly. They keep hearing tapping noises around them, but nothing else stirred. Nobody had come to investigate the commotion.

It was morning and the family were at the table, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage had dark circles under their eyes and they could all barely keep them open as they stay awake all night as the three keeping hearing the weevil making tapping noises all night. Speaking of which, the Weevil was next to the stove making pancakes for the family for breakfast.

Shaggy lean his hand on the table with the drowsy blankness, "Like, I'm need some shut eye."

Scooby blinked his eyes, trying to stay awake, his head fall first face on the table, that caused him to jolted up with alertness. "RI'm up! RI'm up!"

Courage yawned, still very tired from last night, "That was the worst night I've ever went through."

"Hey, what's to eat?" Eustace asked, when he came into the kitchen.

Then Shaggy, Scooby and Courage gasped. Eustace is bone thin and clearly underweight, to the point that he no longer had muscle mass.

"Zoinks! U-U-Uncle Eustace?" Shaggy stammered, in a petrified voice.

"Bug! Bug did that!" Courage tried to tell Muriel while transforming into a bug. Fear still gripping him tight, hoping this was enough convencing that the weevil was dangerous.

"Eustace, you don't look so well, maybe you should go outside for some fresh air," Muriel told him.

And what actually concerned Shaggy, Scooby and Courage even more was the fact that Eustace seemed too weak to even answered or nod as he just went outside.

"Rome on, we have to check on him!" Scooby ordered, as he, Shaggy and Courage went outside as well.

Though, the cowardly trio did have to brace themselves a bit as it was pretty windy today, looking around, the three quickly spotted Eustace just standing perfectly deathly still only a few feet away, the sight made Shaggy, Scooby and Courage tremble. Walking towards him, Shaggy cautiously touched his shirt, only for him to crumble into DUST at his touch, literally, this instantly made the cowardly teen sick.

"ZOINKS! UNCLE EUSTACE!" Shaggy cried out in horror.

"RE'S TURNED TO DUST!" Scooby exclaimed, alarmed of how Eustace turned to dust.

Courage screeched in terror before taking out a broom and open a zip lock bag so he can put Eustace into it. "We gotta warn Muriel!"

Shaggy, Scooby and Courage rushed backed inside the house.

"Muriel! Muriel!" Courage yelled in a panicked voice.

"It's Uncle Eustace!" Shaggy exclaimed with clear dread.

"Re's been-" Scooby started, but the words dried up in his throat, when he saw that's much more horrifying.

Shaggy, Scooby and Courage looked on in horror as they saw that Muriel was being BLOOD DRAWN TO THE WEEVIL.

Courage let out a girly scream.

"AUNT MURIEL!" Shaggy exclaimed with fright.

"RIKES!" Scooby yelled with shock.

"Now boys no need to worry, you'll have all your turns," Muriel said, unaware what's happening to her.

"I'm sorry milady, but I don't do dog," the Weevil said.

"Whew!" Scooby and Courage breathed a collective sigh of relief.

"But I will settled for the tender young man," the Weevil said, pointing at Shaggy.

Shaggy, give out a horrified scream. Cold fear rooted Shaggy to the spot, he couldn't move, he couldn't speak. He could see he was the next Weevil's victim after Muriel. He was frozen with terror.

Suddenly a large brown shape move beside him, it was Scooby.

"Rug or no bug, you will not touch my Raggy!" Scooby growled, shaking his head vehemently. If he had boots, he would have been quaking in them. But his love for Shaggy trumped his fear of the nasty Weevil. And so he stood his ground.

Courage then, moved up to Scooby and standing to protect Shaggy too, he gritted his teeth. "Yeah, you not hurting anyone else!"

Scooby has been his best friend for many years now, and even though he and Scooby met the pink beagle a month ago. He was also considering his best friend also next to Scooby. Shaggy was still touched at their loyalty. A man's best friend indeed.

"And I believe it's time for you to go!" Courage growled, as he got out a private phone and started to dial, and there was someone calling him. "Help! Help! There's a bug in our house! A really big bug!" he then but his phone away.

"Rho did you call Rourage?" Scooby asked with confusion as he, Shaggy and Courage heard the sounds of tires screeching outside.

"An exterminator," Courage answered while opening the door to reveal a giant man in an orange jump suit.

"Good thinking little pink dude, why didn't he call them earlier?" Shaggy said.

"You called an exterminator?" the exterminator asked.

"Yes! Yes!" Courage answered before transforming into a bug himself.

"Rourage wait! RI don't think-" Scooby began but it was too late, the exterminator mistook Courage for the bug and sprayed him before leaving. "Rou should do that."

Courage gasped for air, his mouth and nose were full of chemicals that the exterminator just sprayed and he coughed and spat and retched until most of it was gone. "Should have saw that one coming," he rasped.

Shaggy turned around to face the Weevil and his aunt, but the Weevil and Aunt Muriel were gone, his stomach dropped, "Wait, like, where's Aunt Muriel and that bug!?"

Scooby and Courage turned to Shaggy's direction and gasped, as they saw that the Weevil and Muriel were both no longer in the room, panic etched on their faces.

"Ruriel! Rhere did you go!" Scooby called.

"Maybe she's in the living room!" Courage said, as he, Scooby and Shaggy ran into the living room.

The trio flabbergasted, their jaws hit the floor, as they saw the Weevil taking pictures of Muriel, who was now thin and was posing like a model.

"That's the way, sugar, Love the camera, it loves you, give me the pout," the Weevil said.

"Look boys, I'm a super model," Muriel said, as she continued to pose in front of the camera.

Courage gritted his teeth, as he Shaggy and Scooby got in front of the camera, "Oh no you don't!"

Only for the three friends, to get almost blind by the camera, they all tried to shield their eyes.

When Scooby once could see again he glared at the Weevil "Rokay, that's it!" he yelled, finally having enough with the weevil, as he smacked the camera out of his antennas.

"You need to go now!" Courage exclaimed his blood boiling, as he pointed towards the door.

"Get outta here you creepy bug!" Shaggy spat, his insides rising with fury as he also pointed towards the door.

"Now boys, that's not very civilized," Muriel scolded, the cowardly trio.

"Quite right, if you have an issue with my behavior...may I suggest we settle this like gentlemen?" the Weevil suggested.

"Re're listening," Scooby said with a confused frown at this surprisingly simple idea.

Scooby and the Weevil were both sitting across each other in the kitchen, as the Weevil suggested it would be fair for only two would be in the competition only. Shaggy and Courage we're both watching, hoping that Scooby could win this.

"In this competition, we find out who can ingest the most awful food. But I warn you, I am an expert at eating foul stuff you know, studied at the bad taste academy at mold on crumpet," the weevil answered before bragging a bit.

Scooby cringed a bit, but remain defiant, "Rou're on."

Courage, who had pom-poms cheered for his friend, "Get that bug! Get that bug!"

"Come on Scoob! You can do it!" Shaggy cheered on for his best friend.

"Okay, let's start with boiled broccoli, shall we," the bug said starting off the contest as Muriel quickly placed the food in front of them.

"Like no! Not broccoli!" Shaggy muttered, gagging.

"Yuck!" Courage said, sticking his tongue out with a grimace.

The Weevil managed to eat his broccoli with no problem, though Scooby frowned, as he looked at his plate of broccoli.

Rome on Scooby, you can do this! Scooby thought to himself, he lapped up the broccoli, wincing as the bitter taste filled his mouth, "Ruck!" he gasped, gagging as he tried to swallow. After a few heartbeats he managed to force the vile stuff down.

Both Shaggy and Courage expressed their disgust at round one.

"Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew!" Courage cringed, while shutting his eyes.

"Ugh, like, nasty!" Shaggy grimaced, as he also shut his eyes.

"Now, rancid boiled broccoli," the bug announced with Muriel putting the food in front of the Great Dane and the bug a second later, which turned out to be basically mush.

Shaggy and Courage gagged, as they felt themselves growing sick.

"That is way beyond nasty," Courage yelped, turning away.

"That is like, just plain cruel!" Shaggy choked out as he pinched his nose.

Like before, the Weevil manage to eat the food just fine.

Scooby gulped nervously, "Rere goes nothing," he pinched his nose, he gobbled it up and forced down the food into his stomach, nearly gagging at the taste in his mouth, his face turning green.

"Old, rancid boiled broccoli I had between my toes for a week," the Weevil declared.

Muriel then immediately got the stuff from the bugs feet before boiling them and serving them to Scooby and the Weevil.

Shaggy felt some bile that slowly rose upon his throat, he swallowed, "Like, I think I'm gonna be sick!" he cupped a hand to his mouth as he turned and rushed out of the room to the bathroom upstairs.

Courage put a paw over his mouth, his stomach felt like a roller coaster. "Me too!" his face was also bright green, as he headed outside.

Scooby could hear the cowardly pink beagle throwing up, the cowardly Great Dane looked at the food, overwhelmed by the smell. He couldn't believe he was actually going to do this...

He stared down at the awful smelling stuff, his stomach was screaming NO! at him as he looked at it. He could barely even look at it because of how bad the stench was making his eyes water. Whining pitifully, he opened his mouth, his body instantly rejected before it could even touch his mouth. He clamored out the back door and his stomach immediately evacuated everything he had eaten that day.

"That was horrible," Scooby choked out, he didn't think his stomach could handle anymore.

"Yet the bug still ate it," Courage rasped wiping his mouth.

A dreadful scream rose into the air, "HELP!"

"Shaggy!/Raggy!" Scooby and Courage both proclaimed petrified, as they dashed back inside, only to see the Weevil chasing Shaggy around the kitchen, and it terrified the two dogs.

"LIKE, GET AWAY FROM ME!" Shaggy screamed, as he ran around the kitchen to away from the giant bug, as far as possible.

"Come now, I have room for dessert," the Weevil insisted, as he chased the poor teen down.

The Weevil manage to grabbed Shaggy by the arm, who cried out in pain. Shaggy became more and more fearful by the second panicking that he was going to suck him up dry like his aunt and uncle. He struggled to pulled the bug's grip off of him, as he try to pull the Weevil's arm away from him, but the bug had a strong grip. The Weevil began to stick his tongue onto him. Shaggy gasped from fear and pain.

And before Shaggy knew it, his strength started to drain away. His eyes grew wide, for he could feel the draining sensation in his body. He also felt that he was growing older, as if each second felt like a lost year. He kept growing weaker and weaker, he hadn't felt this awful sensation since the werecats tried to drain the life forced out of him and Scooby on Moonscar island a year ago.

Courage screamed with fright.

Scooby had enough, was not about to let this freaky weevil hurt his Shaggy, bug or not.

"Ret your disgusting hands off of my RAGGY!" Scooby growled, as he and Courage raced over and managed to separate the bugs mouth from Shaggy's neck.

Shaggy landed on the floor with a heavy thud, panting. He was so tired.

But, is seemed like he didn't realize that the two dogs stopped his feeding, looking around, Courage decided to attach his mouth to his stomach, Scooby and Courage stood with Shaggy, to make sure he was alright.

Shaggy sucked in a disbelieving breath, and collapsed onto his back.

The Weevil began to continue his feeding unaware that he was essentially eating himself. Which for some reason shrunk him down to only a half a foot tall, his clothes covering him, though he did exit it a second later and walked towards Courage.

"Stupid dog!" the Weevil shouted before kicking him in the leg, and leaving the kitchen.

Courage grunted in pain he gave the small weevil an irritated glare, "Ow! How rude!" he then turned to face Shaggy, "Shaggy, are you alright?" he asked with concern.

Shaggy was still daze and didn't know how to answer, but he not far worse than Muriel or Eustace. He heaved himself into a sitting position. He was alive, but nearly had his life force drained, "Like yeah, just a little drained. But I'm okay," he croaked.

"Roh thank goodness Raggy," Scooby sighed with relief, as he and Courage give hugs to their teen friend, who gladly hug them back. "Rit's gonna take more than a nasty scary bug, to keep away from my best friends."

Courage felt a surge of warmth, when Scooby included him as part of his best friends.

Shaggy, Scooby and Courage pulled themselves into a group hug, after Scooby's statement.

Later that night, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage then began to feed Muriel and nurture her back to health.

"I had no idea how thin I gotten, thanks for nursing me back to health boys," Muriel said as she finished the plate of food, the trio gave her.

"You're welcome," Courage said, good-natured.

"Like, do you want some more Aunt Muriel?" Shaggy asked, as he had a plate of spaghetti in his hands.

"I couldn't eat another bite," Muriel said smiling.

"Well in that case, more for me," Shaggy smiled goofily, as he gobbled down the plate of spaghetti, earning laughter from Muriel, Scooby and Courage.

"And you all had such a great idea, using Eustace as soil, I just hope he grows back to his old self soon," Muriel said, pointing at the window.

"I'm hungry, where's that pie serving weevil? HUNGRY!" Eustace, now a flower in a pot demanded.

"Well, that's one way to daisy up, huh fellas?" Shaggy giggled of his flower pun, causing laughter from the two dogs.

"Reah," Scooby giggled. "Scooby-Dooby-Doo!"

Well that's all for this chapter, next will be McPherson Phantom. 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.

McPherson Phantom Summary: Muriel and Eustace's marriage is tested when they are manipulated into turning against each other by a crafty phantom and an unlikely accomplice, Eustace's mother.
