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.
"Rincluding Paris," Scooby added.
"Let me guess, your favorite part of the trip is the food?" Courage teased them, with a smirk.
"What can I say, Scoob and I are natural-born eaters," Shaggy smiled smugly.
"Re love food," Scooby laughed.
"Speaking of the gang, we bought souvenirs for them," Shaggy said, with a knowing look.
"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 hoarsely whispered to his best friends.
"Rit's a good thing we mailed them before we got to the Louvre," Scooby replied.
"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 were 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 softly.
"Reah, very pretty," Scooby agreed.
"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 replied 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," he observed.
"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 smiled, 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. It was like watching a movie on a portrait.
"ZOINKS!" Shaggy gasped in horror.
"Zoinks?" Muriel asked, in confusion.
Scooby and Courage screamed with fear as well. Looking back through the camera to the picture, Courage saw that the painting was still as if nothing happened.
"Huh?" Courage asked anxiously.
"Did you guys see that? The Mona Lisa's face just moved," Shaggy said, when he thought he saw Mona Lisa winked at them.
"Ruh-huh!" Scooby muttered in fear.
"You're probably just seeing things you guys," Courage gasped, trying to calm his best friends and himself down. But found little relief.
"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, still on edge from his scare from earlier. 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 out when he saw this.
"Like, you were saying, little pink dude?" Shaggy asked the startled pink beagle.
"Okay, I believe you two," Courage said in a frightened tone.
"It's okay, boys, the resemblance is overwhelming," Muriel said, turning to admire the painting.
"Rhat's not we're worried about," Scooby gave the painting an anxious glance, not taking his eyes off of it.
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage backed away from the painting nervously, with realizing 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.
"Roh brother," Scooby muttered in exasperation and rolling his eyes.
"Don't just stand there dog, take my picture, now!" Eustace demanded, getting the cowardly pink beagle's attention.
Courage sighed in frustration and holding back the urge to roll his eyes, "Okay, okay, you don't have to be too demanding," he remarked in exasperation, 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 again, 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, did you see what I see?" Shaggy asked nervously, surprise at everything tonight.
"Rou mean the head coming from the thinker that just moved? Rhen yes," Scooby whimpered.
"We better keep an eye out, who knows what else we might see," Courage cautioned.
The family began to walk back to the exit, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage looked around to see if more statues or painting made movement at all. Although nothing out of the ordinary happen, that didn't made them any less uneasy. 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 yawned, 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.
Courage suddenly felt tired also, maybe he could take a little rest "After a day of tour sighting and shopping, I could go for a good night's sleep," he yawned as he jumped onto Muriel's lap and close his eyes and instantly fall asleep.
"The little Courage guy isn't the only one who could use a little nap," Shaggy agreed with a yawn, as he sat on the couch it felt warm and cozy. He closed his eyes and fell asleep too.
"Rou said it," Scooby yawned, as he sat next to Shaggy and closed his eyes and his senses faded into darkness.
Courage woke up to a door slam, his eyes popped, and it took him a minute 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 exclaimed, 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 said urgently with a nod.
"I want to see Mona one more time," Muriel said.
Courage groaned as his ears dropped along with his stomach, just when they're finally getting ready to leave, Muriel insisted that they see Mona Lisa one more time.
"Like, alright Aunt Muriel, come on dudes, let's get this over with," Shaggy relented.
Muriel smiled and went over to the painting while Eustace went back to 'The Thinker.' Muriel spent about ten minutes just admiring the sculpture.
Shaggy backed away a little, "Like, okay Aunt Muriel, you seen the painting, now let's go."
All of a sudden, a purple aura started glowing around each of the sculptures and paintings.
"Rhat's going on?" Scooby asked, a chord of terror ran through him.
Looking around, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage saw that every painting and sculpture was glowing, sparking all new terror into the three best friends. 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, panic bursted into Shaggy, Scooby and Courage. The cowardly pink beagle was frantically 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 let out a frightened while his skin came of his body leaving behind a skeleton.
"Like, this can't be real!" Shaggy cried, looking at Mona Lisa in a panic.
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 squeaked, couldn't believe what he is witnessing.
Scooby taken this literally, pinch Courage.
"Oww!" Courage yelled in pain.
Scooby's stomach filled with dread, "Rit's real alright."
"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.
Courage drew in a horrified breath. What!?
"Um, well..." the Thinker replied, before being dragged off by Mona.
"Oh-no!" Courage exclaimed with horror, as his mouth opened a silent scream expression perfectly mirrored the painting 'The Scream' behind him.
Over come with distress and shock, 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 let out a defeated sigh, as he place the painting back on the wall.
"Rhis is terrible!" Scooby cried.
"Like, if we don't get Aunt Muriel out of there, she'll be trapped in the painting forever," Shaggy pointed out urgently.
Realizing they don't have the whole night, Courage said, "Don't worry Muriel, we'll be back. Come on, we gotta find Mona Lisa." He then 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 called out to his best friends, pointing to another picture.
Shaggy and Scooby walked 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 shouted, as he pointed at the painting in pursuit.
Scooby heisted, shooting his best friends a terrified glance, "Rh-uh, Rh-uh," he pleaded.
"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 protested.
"RI know, that's why I'm staying here," Scooby said innocently, not moving from his spot.
"Would you go in for the new Crème Brûlée flavored Scooby Snack?" Courage barked, as he took out a box of Scooby Snacks.
"Reme Brulee Scooby Snack? Rokay Rourage," Scooby said giddily, 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.
Enjoying the sweet taste of the Scooby Snack, Scooby muttered "Relicious," he then licked his mouth.
"A wise guy once said, never underestimate the power of a Scooby Snack," Courage said, with a wink to Shaggy.
"That's right, I'm the wise guy," Shaggy let out a chuckle, as he realize Courage meant him.
"Ret's go," Scooby said, as he dove into the painting with Shaggy and Courage right behind him.
Getting up, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage saw that they were in fact, inside the painting.
"Wow," Courage said, marveled that they're inside a painting.
"I don't know if I should find this fascinating or terrifying," Shaggy widened his eyes.
"Rey, I found their scent," Scooby called up, as he sniffed on the ground and indeed 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 spoke up.
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 dumbly, looking around.
"Scooby, we're the dogs," Courage retorted dryly, had he checked in a mirror lately?
"Roh," Scooby murmured, realization dawned on him.
"But, like, officer dude-" Shaggy objected.
"No exceptions!" the officer yelled, cutting the cowardly teen off, 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."
"Rell played Rourage," Scooby complemented with a smile.
But as for the rest of the dogs, he only got glares.
"What?" Courage asked, taken aback.
"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 nearby.
"There you guys are, what happened?" Shaggy asked.
"Some paintings aren't very friendly to dogs," Courage sighed, as he got up.
"Recially when real dogs play pokers with painting dogs," Scooby added, chuckling nervously, 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 and glancing at Shaggy.
"Not yet," Shaggy stated exasperated, "I looked everywhere! What if we never find them?"
"Ron't give up yet Raggy," Scooby reassured, "Rhey got to be here somewhere."
"Boys," Muriel weakly called out to Shaggy, Scooby and Courage.
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage all let out gasps as they immediately rushed back to where she was.
"Like, Au-Aunt Muriel, is that you?" Shaggy asked, with an shocked gasp.
"Muriel are you okay?" Courage asked, growing increasingly more unsettled by his owner's weak raspy tone.
"I feel myself drying. Get me out before... it's...too...late," Muriel told the trio.
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage choked back whimpers of horror, fear made their adrenaline rush through their veins. They realize with dread if they didn't get Mona Lisa soon, Muriel would possibly be stuck in a painting forever. The three grimaced, at the thought, which is why they had to find Mona Lisa NOW.
"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. He couldn't help the worried look that crossed his face at no response, his mind was whirling in a panic.
Luckily, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage did not to search for long as the three heard Mona's laugh again.
"Follow the laughter. Hurry!" Courage urged, as he took of running.
Shaggy nodded, as he and Scooby followed the little pink beagle, "Right behind you little pink dude."
Only to stop when the cowardly trio passed by the statue of the couple kissing from earlier.
"EWW!" Courage said, while sticking out his tongue. Bile singed his throat, he swallowed it back down.
"Like, get a room you two," Shaggy stated, repulsed
"Reriously," Scooby added, cringing in relative disgust over it.
Soon, after a few turns, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage found the laughter coming from another painting.
"The Persistence of Memory," Shaggy read out loud, with a puzzled look on his face, "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 said, with a wide grin.
"RI can go for a bite," Scooby agreed with a smile, as he licked his lips.
"Excuse me you two, we're here to get Mona Lisa. Not to eat dinner," Courage reminded the hungry duo.
"Sorry/Rorry," Scooby and Shaggy said in unison.
Then Scooby froze when he heard laughter, "Ruh, guys?" he muttered.
Shaggy and Courage followed Scooby's gaze and saw that Mona and the Thinker were coming.
"Quick hide," Courage said 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 spied.
"Re never stops thinking," Scooby whispered back.
"I'm starting to feel sorry for Mona Lisa," Courage lamented silently.
"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.
A lightbulb lit up in Courage's head, "Ureka that's it! All we gotta do is find someone for the Mona Lisa to kiss," he turned to Shaggy and Scooby and beamed 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 said with a smirk, 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 glanced at the hungry duo.
"Reah," Scooby muttered, not sure where he was going with this.
"But like, the Thinker is not showing her any love," Shaggy pointed out.
"Well, how about we get Mona Lisa a lover?" Courage asked.
This cause Shaggy and Scooby to exchanged confused glances.
"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 asked, pointing at the kiss statue.
"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, leading Scooby to come to the conclusion on his own
Instead of answering, Scooby suppressed a sigh as he looked down, he hadn't thought of his idea through. Ro much for that option...
Looking around, Courage saw a painting of cupids and arrows. He had an idea, "Wait, I have an idea."
"Rhat is it?" Scooby asked, feeling hope stir in his heart.
Instead of answering Courage walked toward a painting with cupids and arrows. Shaggy and Scooby looked at Courage with questioning obedience and followed him to the painting.
"If I could get the cupid's arrow from the painting, I'll hit one of the kissers and show them Mona Lisa and he'll fall straight in love," Courage explained.
"Would that really work?" Shaggy asked him.
"Only one way to find out," Courage replied, as he grabbed the Cupid's arrow and he began to wail loudly.
Scooby covered his ears cringing over the noise, "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. 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 dude is looking for someone to smooch," Shaggy caught the attention of the male kisser, 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 said with an enthusiastic smile, 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 exclaimed, urging 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 groaned in disgust.
Shaggy muttered in embarrassment, "Oops."
Suddenly, the purple glowing aura from earlier came back and surrounded every painting and sculpture again. Causing Shaggy, Scooby and Courage to looked up in horror.
"Oh-no!" Courage yelped, his stomach dropped as he realized they're out of time.
"Quick, grab her hand!" Shaggy shouted, looking at the painting worriedly.
Shaggy 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 cheered happily 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 told her, as he give a hug to his owner. Embracing her affection and thankful that they manage to get Muriel out of that painting in time.
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 wearing a coy smile as he picked up Muriel.
Shaggy and Scooby both nodded, grinning.
Scooby chuckled, "Rure am."
Shaggy nodded eagerly, "Like, let's do it."
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 said happily in unison, nodding 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 grumbled, with a nervous chuckle.
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 beamed, as she loved her new scarf.
"Nice new ascot," Fred marveled, looking at his ascot.
"Jinkies, there's more," Velma added, 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.
