Chapter 37: Ricochet Rabbit:
Ricky Rabbit's POV:
My name is Ricky Rabbit and I'm a police officer in Crystal Cove, California! And by the way, I'm a rabbit, but I'm pretty slow for my species. I'm partnered with Officer Gary.
"You ready, Ricky," asks Officer Gary, "we got a hostage situation!"
"I'm ready," I said.
...
We then entered the building. We saw the little girl that was being held against her will.
"I wonder who took her," asks Ricky.
We then saw a baby doll. "I gotta be honest, plastic babies always creeped me out," says Officer Gary, "I'm fine with regular babies, but the idea of a fake one just seemed... disturbing to me."
"Something about it creeps me out too," says Ricky, "that doll just blinked!"
The doll then stood up.
"Only in Crystal Cove," says Officer Gary, "take the kid out of here! I'll handle Baby Doll here!" Officer Gary then starts shooting the doll while I grabbed the kid.
...
"Don't worry," I said, "we'll be safe here..." I then saw the little girl was gone. "Where did she..." Something then pushed me into a weird bucket. It was full of glowing green stuff...
...
"You let your partner get taken," asks the Chief, "and you lost the little girl you were supposed to be saving?"
"I'm sorry, I..."
"Rabbit, hand in your badge!"
I then handed him my badge and walked out. Everyone was disappointed in me.
Shaggy's POV:
We were at the Malt Shop when we saw a rabbit drowning his sorrows in ice cream.
"I'm going to have to cut you off... also, I didn't think it was possible, but I think you're getting drunk on ice cream!"
"This ice cream..." Hic. "... is my new best friend!" He hiccups again.
"Isn't that Officer Gary's new partner," asks Fred.
"Yeah, that's the rabbit guy," says Daphne.
"Are you okay," asks Velma.
"NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO! Everything is horrible!" He hiccups again. "I failed to save a little girl and my partner is lost!"
"Like, Officer Gary's lost," I asked.
"And it's all my fault! I wish I could just disappear!" He then suddenly leaves like a lightning bolt. We all stared with my mouths wide open.
...
We found him in Jellystone Park. "Wha- What happened," asks the rabbit.
"You just ran all the way to Jellystone Park," says Daphne, "we couldn't keep up!"
"Wait... you mean... I'm fast now! Must've been that bucket of green glowing stuff I was pushed into!"
"It could be radioactive," says Velma.
"Then I could save that little girl and Officer Gary as... Ricochet Rabbit!" He then runs off.
...
It took a while, but we eventually found Ricochet at this old building.
"This is where I'm going to make up for my mess-up," says Ricochet.
"Maybe the Scooby-Doo Detective Agency can help," says Fred.
"Sorry, Kids," says Ricochet, "it's too dangerous! Bing-bing-bing!" He then runs int.
"Bing-bing-bing," asks Daphne, "please tell me that's not his catch phrase!"
"Let's split up, Gang," says Fred.
...
Scoob and me were walking through the creepy halls. "Maybe Officer Gary and that little girl already escaped," I said.
We then saw this baby doll. It blinked and stood up. We then screamed and the baby doll chased us.
...
When the baby doll found us, we were disguised as nannies. "Awe, look at the wittle baby," I said.
"I think it needs a change," says Scooby.
We then changed the doll's diaper and put it in a crib. "Nighty-night, Baby," we both said as we left. When we left, the baby doll screamed in anger.
...
We then regrouped with the others. "We know what we're dealing with," I said.
"A baby doll," says Scooby.
"You're kidding, right," asks Daphne.
"I wish they were," says Ricochet, "trying to save the little girl from that thing is what led to Ricky Rabbit becoming Ricochet Rabbit!"
"Could the baby doll have pushed you into that radioactive stuff," asks Daphne.
"No, it was too busy with Officer Gary," says Ricochet, "but something did push me! I just wish I got a good look at them!" Velma starts typing what he said down.
"I told you kids this would be too dangerous," says Ricochet.
We then heard something, and the baby doll came. "Run," says Fred.
"That's my specialty," says Ricochet.
We then ran.
Chorus: Scooby-Doo, Where you hiding
Scooby-Doo, There's a job to do
Scooby-Doo, Trouble's brewing
Scooby-Doo, Please smell a clue
Do you see a ghost
Do you hear a spell
Do you spy a ghoul with flying realm
Do you feel the chill that's in the air?
Scooby, I lost it

"I better face the facts," says Ricochet, "I can't do anything right!"
"If it helps, I figured it out," says Velma.
"That would help," says Ricochet, "did you really?"
"Which means it's time for a trap," says Fred.
"I can help trap that doll," says Ricochet.
"No need," says Velma, "we can handle that! You just have to find the little girl!"
"That I can do," says Ricochet.
Ricochet Rabbit's POV:
While Shaggy and Scooby were luring the doll with the worst acting, I have ever seen, I was looking for the little girl. I then found her footprints and followed them to a room. "Strange," I said, "where are the footprints of her kidnapper?" I then opened the door and saw an unusually short feller in a cloak. I was even more confused, but then it started to come to me! "It can't be!" The strange tried to run, but I caught them.
...
I then regrouped with the kids and a destroyed version of the doll. "Wait, is that doll a robot," I asked.
"That's right," says Velma, "and your friend there is..."
"Red Herring," says Fred.
"Actually, it's..." Velma unmasks the stranger.
"The Little Girl," I said, "I'm even more confused!"
"Her name is Carol Bloom," says Velma, "26-year-old genius!"
"She looks younger than us," says Shaggy.
"That's because her last experiment turned her into a little girl," says Velma.
"Do you realize how humiliating it is being stuck like this," asks Carol, "I look like I should be in preschool!"
"She faked her own kidnapping to use police officers as guineapigs for her experiment," says Velma, "an attempt to age herself back into an adult!"
"But instead of accelerating my age, it gave me superspeed," says Ricochet.
"I've been trying different experiments on that other cop, but nothing worked," says Carol.
"Where is he," I asked.
She pressed a button, and a wall opens, and we see him. He was green, had bug eyes, and bird feet. "No one say a word," says Officer Gary.
"And I would've gotten away with it too, if not for you meddling kids... and this mutant rabbit," says Carol.
...
After we helped Gary turn back to normal, I shook the Chief's hand. "Well done, Officer Rabbit!"
"Actually, Chief, you can keep the badge," I said, "I'm going to continue to fight crime as Ricochet Rabbit!"
"Well, good luck then," says the Chief.
"I owe it all to my friends, Shaggy, Daphne, Fred, Velma, and a pup named..."
"Scooby-Dooby-Doo!"
Carol Bloom is a reference to Carol, the head of Bloom Innovative from Daphne and Velma. In the next chapter, the Gang help Undercover Elephant.
