It was a late night at Shaggy's House.
Scooby and Shaggy were up late watching Vincent Van Ghoul.
Louis was asleep on the couch laying his head on Scooby's neck as he drooled.
Scooby had his arm around him as he watched.
In the Movie Vincent Van Ghoul ran and Zombies appeared in front of him.
They growled and wailed as one bit him.
Vincent Van Ghoul hit the Zombie in the face and ran inside the House where a Woman stood with the door open.
She quickly closed it after he came in.
"Darling, Why did you go out there?" She asked as she dabbed Antiseptic on his bite.
"I was hoping we could escape make our way to Schaffhausen, find other humans try to," He replied as he winced and shuttered in pain.
"Sh, just rest,I'll get a Bandage," She requested.
"No, A Zombie Bite,there's nothing that can be done for me now,already I feel myself changing becoming like them," Vincent Notified.
As the Scene switched to the Zombies that were breaking through the windows.
"Don't say that,you'll be fine,we'll just use more Antiseptic," She insisted.
As she poured it on his bite, he screamed and moved it away from him.
He groaned and grasped his arm in pain.
"Promise me,Promise me,you'll bolt the door, and never let me in," Vincent demanded.
"No,I," She disagreed.
"You can't let me in,no matter how much I scream and wail,you mustn't let me in," Vincent notified.
"No,you'll be fine,you'll see," She pleaded as she hugged him.
When she looked up again, he was a Zombie.
He walked towards her.
She screamed as she pushed him outside.
"Get out,get out," She ordered.
"Bolt the door,now," He commanded.
He went towards her as she slammed it shut and bolted it.
She shuddered in fear.
"I was just kidding before,seriously,I think,I left the burners in the kitchen on," Vincent lied.
She didn't listen.
"Lena,let me in,let me,in," He demanded.
Some of the Drool dripped from Louis's mouth onto Scooby's neck.
Scooby felt it and began to shake Louis awake.
"Uh,Louis,Louis,you're drooling," Scooby informed.
Louis opened his eyes.
"Oh,sorry," Louis apologized as he wiped his mouth.
Scooby put Louis's head back on his neck and out his arm back around him.
"It's okay,I'm sorry,for interrupting your sleep," Scooby also apologized.
"No problem,it's under-understandable," Louis mumbled as he was falling back asleep.
Suddenly,they heard a knock at the door.
On the Tv, Zombie Vincent Continued to say," Let me in."
The door continued to be knocked on.
Scooby and Shaggy looked at each other in worry.
Shaggy got up and put his bowl down.
Scooby shook Louis awake again.
"Sorry,again,someone's at the door," Scooby notified.
Scooby got up and put Louis on his back.
Louis rubbed his eyes as he stayed awake to see who it was then he would go right back to sleep, he was exhausted.
As of late he had to sleep on Scooby in the Living Room cause since he was now his Guardian,Scooby didn't even want him being alone in the bedroom or bathroom.
Scooby would also stay up late watching Vincent Van Ghoul with Shaggy so he kinda had to.
Scooby and Shaggy walked to the door.
When they opened it, Vincent Van Ghoul was there standing as thunder clapped.
That freaked the three of them out,they clinged to each other.
It woke up Louis for sure.
"Yikes," Shaggy shouted.
"Hello," He responded.
The three clinged to each other in fear as they shook.
"Like,don't eat our brains,Mr. Zombie," Shaggy begged.
"They're not very good," Scooby pointed out.
"Yeah,mine is all mushy and stuff,you wouldn't want it," Louis added.
"Ew," Shaggy commented.
"Nah,his brain is probably amazing," Scooby complemented.
"Aw thanks,Scoob," Louis thanked.
"Wait a minute," Louis muttered to himself realizing that Zombies weren't real.
"So Please," Shaggy pleaded.
"Whatever are you talking about? Oh, How Charming,you're watching one of my old pictures,Me,Zombie,not a bad performance by myself as I recall,but that Actress was always forgetting her lines,and her breath reeked of Scallions," Vincent Said as he walked in and looked at the Tv.
"Blech," Louis commented.
"Huh?" Shaggy asked.
"Like,I don't believe it,you're Vincent Van Ghoul," Shaggy announced.
"The Movie Star," Scooby added.
"In the flesh," He responded
"Yeah, no offense but your movies I never get and are kind of boring I always fall asleep," Louis informed.
"No,you don't,I thought you get nightmares from his movies," Scooby warned.
Louis chuckled sheepishly.
"Okay,maybe some of them are a little creepy," Louis rephrased.
"A little,you are downright sobbing and we stay up most of the night watching Looney Tunes," Scooby stated.
"Okay,most of them really creep me out," Louis re-rephrased.
"Good to know they creep some peopl out still, congratulations,boys,you won," Vincent congratulated.
"Won what?" Shaggy and Scooby wondered.
'The,' "Have Dinner with Vincent Van Ghoul Essay Contest," Vincent replied.
"Like, we entered Months ago,I totally forgot," Shaggy answered.
"Your essay was inspiring," He stated.
"Okay," Louis mumbled.
"Like,having dinner with like,Vincent Van Ghoul at his house would be,like,the most coolest thing in,like,the whole,like,history of cool things,like, rarely have words stirred me to such emotion," Vincent read.
"Sure,if you want to hear like,like a millions time,oops," Louis commented realizing he said like twice.
"Like,How about that? Scooby,Old Pal,out of thousands of entries our essay was the best," Shaggy pointed out.
"Well,there weren't exactly thousands,just two,yours and one from an Eskimo Boy,who wrote the whole thing in Inuit,well,time to go," Vincent informed.
"Yay," Scooby and Shaggy cheered.
"Our Chariot awaits,I've been cooking all day,we mustn't tarry,I don't want the Fondue to get lumpy," Vincent announced as he pushed Shaggy and Scooby out.
"See you two,I'll just head to bed,have fun," Louis said
"Wait," Scooby shouted.
Vincent stopped.
"Can Louis come along? He is my best friend and I don't want him to get lonely," Scooby requested.
"Sure,I can add an extra guest," Vincent agreed.
"Great,let me get in my wheelchair," Louis replied.
He got in his Wheel chair and rolled out along side them.
The three stopped outside.
"Your Chariot's a-a,A Hearse?" Shaggy questioned.
"I wouldn't be caught dead in anything else," Vincent muttered as he laughed evily.
They drove all the way to his Mansion.
At Vincent Van Ghoul's Mansion.
The Four got out of the van.
"I didn't know it was going to rain," Scooby mentioned.
Louis froze when he felt it.
It reminded him of what happened a few Mysteries ago.
When he was rolling after the Gang when they were chasing Char Gar Gothacon.
He slipped and fell.
After that his vision became blurry.
He also remembered all the times he had been in danger.
Suddenly,he saw some familiar faces in front of him.
The Bounty Hunters and Mr. Wang as the Blue Wizard.
The zoomed towards him.
Louis screamed as they almost hit him.
Suddenly,he heard Scooby's voice.
"Louis, Are you okay?" Scooby asked.
"Oh,yeah,yeah,I'm fine," Louis lied.
All the Times he had been in danger were affecting him.
He was having issues with Post Tramatic Stress Disorder.
This wasn't the first time either.
He had been having it for weeks.
Nightmares,Flashbacks,even Hallucinations.
"You were screaming, Are you sure?" Scooby questioned.
"Yeah,uh,continue,Mr. Van Ghoul," Louis ordered.
"Well, it always rains at my house,special effects,I had it installed Years ago,I can't sleep a wink without it," He finished.
He opened the doors as they walked in.
"Oh," Shaggy and Scooby mumbled in awe.
They looked around.
Scooby saw a statue and made a silly face.
He laughed at it afterwards,he looked at Louis expecting him to think it was funny.
Instead,he got Louis with an upset look on his face.
"Hey,You sure you are okay? You've been kind of odd as of late," Scooby questioned.
"Yeah,of course," Louis lied again.
"Welcome to Casa De Ghoul," Vincent announced out of nowhere.
Scooby,Louis,and Shaggy quickly freaked out for a minuted before realizing it was just him.
Louis's heart still pumped really fast.
"Oh,dear,I almost forgot," He whispered.
He walked to the door and closed it,he walked over to a curtain and opened it.
He played a song as a code.
It quickly locked the House down.
"We should be quite safe now," Vincent stated.
"Safe?" Shaggy repeated suspiciously.
"From What?" Louis asked in worry.
Since his issues,Louis hadn't quite been the same.
"Mm,stuff," He replied.
Louis,Scooby, and Shaggy looked at each other weirded out by his strange behavior.
"What's that? Did someone say? Fondue's ready," Vincent mentioned.
"I don't think so," Louis and Scooby responded in unison.
"No,no,I was just trying to lighten,never mind,let's just eat," Vincent murmured.
At The Table.
As they ate,Louis wasn't eating much,he was picking at it.
Scooby looked at him worried.
Louis noticed and decided to eat his food.
He needed to remain inconspicuous.
"This Fonduey stuff is great," Shaggy mentioned.
Scooby was gobbling down his fondue.
"Delicious," Scooby added as he licked his lips.
"It's nice to share an enjoyable evening after all the strange things that have been happening around here," Vincent stated.
"Like What?" Shaggy asked.
"I don't want to talk about it," Vincent whispered as he shook his head and held his hand up away from his face.
"Mm,okay," Shaggy and Scooby agreed.
"They mean,please tell us," Louis requested.
"Oh,very well," Vincent agreed.
"Shoot," Louis ordered.
"A Few days ago, I got the distinct impression that I wasn't alone in this house,there are others here,lurking in the shadows,I know it sounds incredible but somehow,somehow,the Monsters I've portrayed in my movies have come to life,they're here in this house,alive,you don't know what it's been like living in fear that I'll open a door and," Vincent was explaining.
Shaggy and Scooby shook in fright.
Louis even did for once,then again his PTSD wasn't helping.
When Vincent opened the Door.
A Bee was eating Honey and buzzed at them when it opened.
Vincent screamed.
Shaggy,Scooby,and Louis screamed.
"Zoinks,it's the Mutant Bee from your movie," "The Mutant Bee" Shaggy yelled.
"Run for your life," Vincent commanded.
The Mutant Bee came at Shaggy and Scooby.
They ducked as he jumped at them.
They ran leaving Louis behind.
The Mutant Bee left him as well.
Louis was all by himself.
He looked around and saw nobody.
He looked behind him and saw the Slime Mutant from his First Mystery.
It picked him up by the throat and stabbed it's claws into his side.
He screamed as blood began to come out of his mouth.
Suddenly, The Orc that kidnapped him somehow grabbed him.
The Orc began to choke him.
The Orc wrapped a rope around his neck and began to choke him.
Louis tried to hit him back but couldn't.
The Orc dropped him on the ground.
Louis tried to crawl away towards Scooby but things got a whole lot worse.
While tried to crawl, the Ghost Trucker came driving towards him and ran over his leg.
Louis screamed in pain.
After Louis saw the Truck disappear, someone new appeared.
It was a Monster that had make up and horns on his head.
It pinned him to the ground.
It head-butted Louis over and over.
It quickly disappeared.
Louis still trying to get away was about to get another strange but creepy visit.
A Strange Entity looking thing pinned him to the ground and pierced Louis's wrist.
Black Veins came all over his face,arms and body.
He began to hear his screams not sound like his but deeper.
In the Meantime Scooby,Shaggy,And Vincent ran across the Hall where another figure appeared.
"It's Dr Phobos, from the Repellant Dr. Phobos," Shaggy mentioned.
He scratched the Picture.
Vincent led them upstairs.
"Go upstairs,quickly," Vincent ordered.
When they did, another was ahead of them.
"It's Professor Jantzen from the Castle Of Gummy Discharge," Shaggy stated.
They ran down the stairs and towards the door.
They opened part of it but the Metal Door stood in the way.
Scooby scratched at it,
"Uh,We're trapped," Scooby yelled.
They were surrounded.
Back to Louis.
The Black Veins burned and he tried to fight it but it wasn't working.
Louis began to fall into Crystal Pieces.
He screamed as it happened.
"Stop," He commanded.
But it did not.
"Louis," The Entity called.
Louis turned to it.
"How do you know my name? Louis wondered.
"I know everything about you," it replied as it touched his forehead.
Louis suddenly got pictures of things, he saw a strange abandoned church, and he saw a strange circular disk.
The Disk when he touched it in his mind,it was like he wanted it badly,really badly.
Louis shook it off
"What are you? What's your name? What are you doing to me?" Louis questioned.
It spoke but it didn't use all words.
"It, Annunaki,what I want and need," It replied.
Suddenly,it all disappeared.
The strange Entity disappeared along with it.
Louis's heart beated out of his chest.
He felt his arms working again.
He crawled and dragged himself back into his Wheelchair.
He rolled out and went to find them.
He may have been freaked out but it wouldn't stop him from finding his friends.
He rolled out of the Dining Room and saw them surrounded by the door.
He rolled towards Scooby and stopped when he was right next to him.
"There you are," Scooby yelled.
"Yeah," Louis answered.
"Isn't this scary?" Vincent wondered.
"Yeah," They all replied.
He chuckled as things quickly turned worse.
A mysterious figure appeared and swooped Dr. Phobos into the Sky.
"That wasn't supposed to happen," Vincent said.
It put him on the Chandelier.
It jumped onto the Mutant Bee and crushed it's hand.
It then threw him into the picture.
While it was busy with the last one the four were moving away.
"What movie is that thing from?" Shaggy questioned.
"I have no idea," Vincent responded.
The Monster leaped in front of them.
"I am Night Fright,Scream,Scream,Time for you to die," Night Fright ordered.
They all shuddered in fear.
Night Fright charged them.
Scooby,Vincent,and Shaggy moved out of the way.
Louis stood frozen at the door.
Scooby came back and rolled him out of the way.
It hit the door.
They ran as he came after them.
Scooby rolled Louis up the stairs
He jumped from a bench to picture to the Stairs barely missing Scooby and Louis.
"Hurry,Scoob," Shaggy ordered.
They ran through the Hallways and Night Fright followed.
Scooby looked back as he pushed Louis.
Night Fright was throwing things around.
It jumped at them but they turned just in time.
They had ran into a room and Vincent triple locked the door.
"There were only supposed to be three monsters," Vincent mentioned.
Scooby hid himself and Louis in the blanket.
They both shuddered in fear.
Louis felt something crawl up his back.
He looked and it was the Gator People along with the It he saw.
He screamed as he fell out of the Blanket.
Shaggy and Vincent were too busy talking to hear.
"What are you talking about?" Shaggy wondered.
"The others were fake,actors, I was just having a bit if fun with you," Vincent continued.
The Gator People scratched his face.
Louis grunted and screamed as it happened.
Scooby looked at him confused he had no idea what was going on.
The It grabbed his wrist and started burning it.
Louis's eyes flashed from black to normal,back and forth.
Scooby touched him.
Louis flinched,looked up, and saw Scooby there on top of him.
He was standing over him giving him a concerned look.
"What happened? Are you okay?" Scooby asked.
"Yeah,just scared of the Monster out there," Louis lied.
"That's understandable, I think he is scary too," Scooby agreed.
"Do you see a burnt mark on my wrist? That is making my Veins turn Purple and Black," Louis wondered as he gave .
"No,I don't, That's weird," Scooby stated as he grabbed his wrist and looked for it.
"But this one,... Is real," Vincent finished.
As he got interrupted when it broke a hole in the door.
Scooby stood in front of Louis to protect him if it got in.
Night Fright continued to make holes in the door.
"The Closet," Vincent announced.
Shaggy ran in there.
Scooby grabbed Louis and put him on his back.
He then folded Louis's Wheelchair and gave it to him.
Scooby ran in and then so did Vincent.
After they already did,Night Fright burst in and opened the Closet Door.
He yelled as he saw them gone.
"This way,it's a secret passage,I had it built so I could scare my guests and get to the kitchen faster," Vincent informed.
Louis held on tightly to Scooby's neck.
"Ouch! A little tight," Scooby pointed out.
"Oh,sorry," Louis apologized.
"It's okay,Louis," Scooby responded.
A Painting lifted up and Vincent stood behind it,it was the exit of the Secret Passage.
The other three stuck their heads out from behind him.
When they saw that they were safe,they ran out.
Vincent played the Music for the Code.
It blinked Invalid Code.
"Invalid Code? That's impossible!" Vincent shouted.
He replayed it and it did the same thing.
He ran to the door.
"Open up," He demanded banging on the door.
"Oh dear," Louis muttered as he shuddered in fear.
Scooby looked to him with a confused look wondering who was doing the shuddering.
Louis quickly stopped and smiled nervously.
Scooby turned right back to Vincent and Louis let out a sigh of relief.
"We're trapped,Bill,get us out of here,Help,Help!" Vincent pleaded. shouting at a camera.
"Like, Who are you talking to?" Shaggy wondered.
"Hopefully,not the camera," Louis commented.
Scooby laughed.
"That's the Louis I know and love," Scooby added.
Louis smiled at him.
"The Director," Vincent answered.
"The Director?" Scooby and Louis repeated in confusion.
"There are Cameras all over the House,you're on my Tv Show," Vincent notified.
"Um, What a Tv Show?" Shaggy,Scooby,and Louis questioned all at once.
"Ghoulish Dinners with Vincent Van Ghoul,I make Gourmet Dinners for Guests, then,scare the niblets out of them,only,something's gone wrong,there's a real monster chasing us, Help!" Vincent explained as he went back to shouting for help.
Outside the Mansion.
"What is he doing? Why isn't he following the Script?" The Director asked.
"Maybe he's improvising," the Producer guessed.
"Rawr,I am Night Fright,Scream,Scream,Time for you to die," He shouted.
As they all screamed when Louis did he buried his face in Louis's neck.
"The Library," Vincent announced.
As Night Fright jumped towards them,they ran away.
Night Fright followed after them towards the Library.
Vincent closed the door to the Library just before Night Fright could get in.
Night fright hit his shoulder against the door and tried to pry it open with his claws.
While he was trying to pry it open,Vincent,put a key in a lock and it locked the Library down with Bars.
When Night Fright came in,he noticed this.
He tried to bend them but it didn't work.
He tried to reach for them but couldn't.
"What is that thing? The Director wondered.
"Not one of the Actors we hired," The Producer responded.
"Get them out of there," The Director demanded.
"We can't,the keypad to open the security doors is inside the house," The Female Producer pointed out.
The Director knew she was right.
Night Fright continued to try to hit it open.
He rammed into the Bars but it still didn't work.
He tried bending again.
"We're trapped,no way out,no way for anyone to get in and rescue us," Vincent said.
"I think we know who we can try, Right Shaggy?" Louis mentioned.
"Yep," Shaggy agreed.
"Me too," Scooby added.
Vincent raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Call Mystery Incorporated," Scooby,Louis,and Shaggy stated in unison.
The Director and Producer looked at each other and knew what to do.
At Velma's House.
She was reading while listening to the TV.
"If you're as big as a fan of Klezmer Music as we are, then make a pledge, and support this station," The Man on Tv warned.
Velma's Phone rang and she picked it up as she kept reading.
"Hello, What?" Velma replied as she stopped reading and ran out.
At The Bloody Stake.
Daphne and Fred were waiting for their table.
"This is ridiculous,we've been waiting over two hours,I'm starving," Daphne complained.
"I know, I can hear your tummy gurgling,for a second,I thought alien larva might have hatched in your belly," Fred informed.
Suddenly,Fred's Phone rang.
He walked away to talk.
"Hello," Fred answered.
"Ah,Your table's ready," The Waitress announced.
"Finally," Daphne commented.
"Holy smokes,we'll be right there,come on,Daphne,there's trouble," Fred notified as he hung up and ordered Daphne to come.
"But," She tried to excuse.
Her tummy gurgled.
"Your Tummy's gurgling," The Waitress mentioned.
Daphne frowned as she walked away.
They drove all the way to the Mansion.
"The Creature stopped attacking just before you came,it's hiding somewhere in the house,we've tried to find it with the cameras,but," The Director explained.
"You sure there's no way we can get in there?" Fred wondered.
"Place is sealed tighter than a red nose on a fat clown," He answered.
"Maybe not,I downloaded the House's building records from City Hall, an electric conduit runs from the basement,goes under the yard, and leads to an emergency generator,it's a tight fit but we might be able to crawl through," Velma explained.
"I wouldn't do that,all those cables you could get electrocuted," The Production Assistant added.
"Oh, What do you know? You're just a PA,mind your own business,oh,and,uh,get me a doughnut," The Director commanded.
"Mm, a Doughnut," Daphne whispered.
"Well,we have to do something,I say,we give it a shot," Fred finished.
At the Basement.
"That's weird,looks like somebody's already opened up the Access Panel," Fred mentioned.
It was Night Fright,he was back at the Library and back at the Bars.
The Three shook in fear.
Louis had fallen off Scooby's back and was beneath the stairs.
He was having another PTSD Episode.
He not only was hallucinating but getting memories from what happened.
This time around, he was remembering when the Man Crab had grabbed him and wouldn't let go,then he remembered when the Blue Wizard had snatched him and Mai Le,after that,when Aphrodite almost ran them over.
Suddenly,he heard his name which snapped him out of the Episode.
It was Scooby.
"Louis," Scooby called.
"Scooby," Louis called back.
"Where are you?" Scooby wondered.
"Beneath the Stairs,I fell off," Louis responded.
"Oh,just say something next time," Scooby requested.
He walked down and put him back on his back.
Scooby,then ran back up the stairs.
Outside.
"It's back," The Female Producer announced.
Back to the Library.
He put his horn between two bars and tugged on it making it come off.
They screamed as it followed them up the stairs.
They ran up away from him.
The Other Three were crawling through a Tight Space and could hear Shaggy,Scooby, and Louis.
They heard them screaming.
"Yikes,"Shaggy shouted.
"We better hurry,We're coming guys," Fred yelled.
Night Fright jumped up after them.
When he jumped again,he jumped ahead of Scooby and Louis.
"Scoob," Shaggy called.
"I am Night Fright,Scream,Scream,Time For You To Die," Night Fright recited again as he lurched forward at them.
He didn't get them though some people were holding him back.
It was Scooby and Louis,Scooby was biting his cape,while Louis helped Scooby pull.
"Uh oh," Scooby and Louis muttered as they let go.
He tried to grab them but Scooby quickly moved out of the way and Night Fright fell.
He growled.
"Shaggy,Scooby,We're coming," Fred called out.
"Wow,I am loved," Louis whispered.
"I love you," Scooby added.
Louis smiled as he hugged Scooby's neck.
Shaggy and Vincent stuck their heads out.
Louis and Scooby stuck their heads out next.
"You guys alright?" Velma asked.
"Yeah,we knew you'd find a way in," Scooby and Louis said at once.
"We did? Like, no one told me," Shaggy commented.
"Where is that thing?" Daphne wondered.
"It fled when it heard you coming, and a good thing too, because all this excitement has made me want to tinkle," Vincent responded.
"Alright,then,now's our chance," Fred stated.
They all ran out of the Library and went to a door.
Fred opened it and Night Fright was in it.
"I am Night Fright,Scream,Scream,Time for you..." He repeated.
Fred closed the door before he could finish.
"My Bedroom,it's our only hope," Vincent announced.
They all followed him up the stairs.
As they ran up stairs, Louis looked behind him and saw the It smiling at him.
"For you to die," Night Fright finished as he burst the door open.
They ran up the stairs as Night Fright followed.
They ran to a Big Door.
Vincent unlocked it as Night Fright galloped towards them.
They all quickly ran into it and closed the door.
Night Fright ran into the door as Vincent bolted it.
"We're never going to make it out of here alive, Never! Never! Ooh," Vincent lashed out in fear.
While waiting,Daphne had a Wet Cloth rubbing against Vincent's Forehead.
Velma leaned against the bed.
Fred and Shaggy were at the door listening for him.
Scooby sat against the wall.
Louis sat in Scooby's lap with his head leaning on Scooby's chest.
"When do you think he'll be gone?" Scooby asked.
"I don't know," Louis replied in a scared tone.
"Louis, What's going on? You have been strange for weeks, What is it? You can trust me," Scooby wondered.
"I'm fi-" Louis was about to lie again.
"You're not,stop lying to me, tell me," Scooby commanded.
Louis chuckled.
"I guess,part of me knew you would figure it out eventually, what's the point in hiding it," Louis said.
"Louis, What's Wrong?" Scooby questioned.
"I don't know," Louis replied in a really scared tone looking at Scooby with even scared eyes.
That was the only time he looked at him through the conversation.
The rest of the time,he looked at the floor
"Is this why you have been acting weird for the past week?" Scooby mentioned.
"Yes, this is why,it's also why I have been kind of around you a lot and sleeping a lot,but,now they happen when I'm awake," Louis explained.
"What happens when you are awake?" Scooby asked.
"Nightmares,Things that attack me and hurt me,I don't get why I am the only one that sees them,most of them are monsters from our past but two haven't happened at all," Louis whispered
"Why didn't you tell me?" Scooby asked.
"I didn't want to ruin you and Shaggy's time," Louis responded.
"Yeah,I understand that but,this is different,I am supposed to be your friend,you don't have to with draw from me,just explain,cause I am also your guardian," Scooby explained.
"Sorry," Louis apologized.
"It's okay,What do you think it is?" Scooby wondered.
"I think all the danger,I have been in, has made me suffer from PTSD," Louis informed.
"What does that stand for?" Scooby questioned.
"It stands for Post Tramatic Stress Disorder," Louis answered.
"Oh,Louis,we'll take care of this when I get home,right now, we need to stop this thing" Scooby stated.
"Yeah," Louis agreed.
"Yeah,"Scooby repeated.
"I just want this to be over," Louis warned as he began to cry.
He turned himself around
Louis put his fist and face on Scooby's chest as he cried.
"Oh,Louis," Scooby whispered.
Even though it kind of looked like he was hanging off of him.
Cause his legs were on the ground.
But,try doing that when you can't use your legs.
"Louis,once this is over,we'll stop these nightmares,together," Scooby reassured as he grabbed Louis's hand and intertwined their fingers.
Louis stopped crying when he heard that.
"Yeah," Lous agreed.
Scooby got up and put Louis on his back.
They went to join the two boys at the door.
"I don't hear anything out there anymore,maybe it left," Fred mentioned.
"It's toying with us,it's the oldest trick in Horror Films,the Monster pretends to go away,you open the door and then it rips you to pieces," Vincent explained as Daphne moved the wet rag across his forehead and stopping when he got dramatic.
"Good guess," Louis commented.
"What have I done to deserve this?" Vincent asked.
"Scared the heck out of too many guests," Louis guessed.
"I was just trying to make a comeback,have people care about me again," Vincent finished.
"We care about you,Mr. Van Ghoul," Scooby mentioned.
"Only you and one lonely,little Eskimo Boy," Vincent pointed out.
"That's not true,you are a big star," Shaggy reassured.
"You must be asked to be in movies all the time," Shaggy continued.
"Nothing but bit parts and terrible pictures," Vincent warned.
Vincent sighed as Shaggy walked over to the Scripts.
"Night of the Gassy Fog," Shaggy read.
"They wanted me to play the role of Gas," Vincent pointed out.
All of a sudden,he heard a rumbling sound.
Vincent screamed.
"The Creatures Back," He shouted.
"No,it's just my stomach, Happen to have anything to eat?" Daphne wondered.
"Fraid not," He replied.
"This one doesn't sound so bad," Shaggy mentioned.
Scooby went over to Shaggy's side with Louis on his back.
"Scream,Scream,Time For You To Die," Shaggy read.
"Oh,yes,Night Fright,I remember that Character,I initially agreed to be in it but I had to pull out when the reality TV Show came up," Vincent responded.
"Wait a minute," Fred stated.
"Read that again," Louis requested.
"That was what I was going to say," Fred complained.
"You might want to be a little faster next time," Louis informed.
"Scream,Scream,Time For You To Die," Shaggy repeated realizing what they were getting at.
"That's what that thing keeps saying," Scooby pointed out.
"Night Fright same Name of the Monster in the Script," Daphne added.
"That's not all,I've been watching the footage of the Creature the Director gave me,look at this," Velma notified,
"Nothing unusual about that,it's just trying to hit it's mark for the camera,all actors do that," Vincent commented.
"Only it's not an actor," Velma said.
"Well,Gang,time to find out what we're dealing with,hey,I can build a really cool trap out of all this stuff," Fred announced.
"Trap? What are you talking about?" Vincent questioned.
"We can't stay in here for the rest of our lives,we have to capture it," Daphne warned.
"That's what the Hero in Horror Films say,right before the creature rips him to pieces,absolutely not,I forbid it,and that's final," Vincent insisted.
"Uh,how about no," Louis disagreed.
Later.
Fred moved the Dresser out of the way.
"You know,Louis,you don't have to do this," Scooby informed.
"I know but I want to,Scooby,for my friends," Louis replied.
"It'll never work,I'm too frightened," Vincent notified.
"That's just what it wants," Fred said.
"It keeps telling us to scream it wants us to be scared," Daphne pointed out.
"That's why you can't be,confuse it," Velma ordered.
"Then lead it back here for the trap," Fred commanded.
"No,no,it'll never believe I'm not scared," Vincent excused.
"Mr. Van Ghoul,you are the best actor in the world,it will believe it," Shaggy reassured,
"Thank you,Scooby," Vincent thanked.
"Shaggy," Shaggy corrected.
"Good luck," Fred whispered.
He unlocked it.
They opened the door and looked around.
"I feel another tinkle coming on," Vincent mentioned as him and Shaggy clinged to Scooby's arms.
Louis buried his face in Louis's neck and grabbed tight of it.
"I think I already did," Scooby informed.
"Ew," Shaggy and Vincent muttered as they let go of him.
"Ew,Scooby," Louis whispered.
"Sorry," Scooby apologized.
They were about to continue walking when suddenly.
Night Fright popped up hanging from the ceiling.
"I am Night Fright,Scream,Scream,Time For You To Die," Night Fright yelled.
Vincent turned as he whispered to himself.
"You're a trained Thespian,Vincent,remember your craft," Vincent mumbled to himself.
Louis sighed as he held in his fear.
"You got this,Louis,Vincent can't do this by himself," Louis murmured.
"Oh,hello,there,nice to see you again,don't mind us,we're just stretching our legs," Vincent rephrased as he walked past him.
The other two walked past him following Mr. Van Ghoul.
"See ya," Louis responded to Night Fright as they walked by.
"So I told Mr. Demille that if he wanted me to do the picture,then my part had to be rewritten," Vincent said.
Night Fright jumped in front of them.
"I am Night Fright," Night Fright reminded.
Scooby,Louis and Shaggy shuddered in fear.
Louis breathed in and out.
"Yes,so you said,excuse us," Vincent requested as he walked around him.
"Uh,bye bye," Louis added as him and Scooby passed.
"Demille was furious with me, Did I care? No,I stuck to my guns," Vincent continued.
"I am Night Fright,Scream,Scream," Night Fright repeated as he broke the lamp on the floor.
"Uh oh,you broke the wrong thing,dude
"Yes,I'm afraid I am going to have to charge you for that,what do you say we head back?" Vincent responded.
The other two whimpered as they passed by running past him.
"Anyway,Demille called my Agent threatened to fire me off the picture,Can you imagine?" Vincent asked.
Night Fright once again jumped in front of him.
"I am Night Fright," Night Fright yelled.
"Please,don't interrupt, it is rude, So What did I do? I rewrote the whole thing myself,I took it into Demille's Office,threw it on the desk," Vincent explained.
"Didn't you hear me? I am Night Fright,Scream,I said,Scream," Night Fright pleaded.
"Shush,My Dear," Louis ordered putting on a British Accent.
"And demanded he read it right then and there," He finished as they walked into the room.
"Scream," He begged.
"Well,long story short,he thought it was brilliant," He added.
"I am Night Fright," Night Fright yelled as he growled.
"You again? Do me a favor,stand right here, Would you? Perfect," He stated as he put him onto the right spot for the trap.
Fred smiled wide as he pulled a lever,it lifted the Dresser,releasing a Pillory from ropes,making a Wooden Board hit Night Fright in the ankles making him bend and fall into the Pillory.
Another Rope held it up.
He grunted as he tried to get out but couldn't.
"Got him," Fred announced.
Vincent let out a sigh of relief and fell to his knees.
"I've never been more frightened in my life,and I didn't tinkle,I held it like a man," He said.
Shaggy bent down on one knee and put his hand on Vincent's shoulder.
"You were brilliant," Shaggy complemented.
Daphne took off the mask.
"I'm sorry,I don't know who that is," Louis informed.
"The Production Assistant," Daphne,Fred,and Velma announced.
"No,it's not,it's Argus Fentonpoof, The Writer of," "Scream Scream Time For You To Die," Vincent stated.
"I'm both,when you pulled out of the movie,they decided not to make it,I went bankrupt,I had to take a job as a Production Assistant," He said.
"But, Why have you done this?" Vincent questioned.
"Well,by scaring you and and everyone watching on TV, I was going to prove Night Fright deserved his own Horror Movie,right before you started filming,I hid my Night Fright Costume in a closet,I used the Conduit to sneak in and put the costume on,I paid the other actors to pretend to be knocked out when I attacked,Of Course,I couldn't let anyone know that I was Night Fright,I had to sneak out every now and then and get everyone Coffee," He eludicated.
"Hold it right there,I'm Harry Shnesle Boysen,the Executive Producer of this Show,I've been watching the whole thing from my Jacuzzi,I'm blown away,not only is your Reality Show going to be a Surefire hit but I found your pathetic tale of lost dreams inspiring,It's gonna make a great movie," Harry explained.
"A Movie? About Me? Really? Gee, uh,you know,none of this would have happened without you meddling kids,thanks," Argus thanked.
"Alright,let's go," The Cop Ordered as they cuffed him and began to take him out.
"Bye Everyone,see you on the Big Screen in ten to twenty years," He shouted.
"Well, all's well that ends well," He commented.
"Mr. Ghoul, Could I ask you a favor?" Daphne asked.
At Dinner,Daphne was gobbling down the rest of the other's food.
"Like,that's the first time Daphne's eaten more than us,huh? Scoob," Shaggy added.
"Yeah,she really pigged out," Scooby agreed as he laughed.
"You know, I've been thinkin, How about a TV Show based around you kid's lives? You know,Teenagers,they drive around in a Van,build traps and solve Mysteries,Chase Monsters and What Nots like that,oh,that'd be a huge hit,we'd call it,Spooky Kids with A Dog," Harry suggested.
They though for a minute.
"Nah," They disagreed in unison.
"I guess,you're right,bad idea, Who the heck would watch that?" He questioned.
"Whoa," He announced.
The Mutant Bee came towards them swinging his hips with a Tray in his hand.
He took off his mask.
"Did someone say dessert?" Vincent commented.
As he began to cackle evily.
Almost everyone began repeating his evil laugh.
"Wait,Why is everyone laughing evily? What is going on? What am I missing? What is wrong with this picture?" Louis wondered.
They all continued laughing.
Later, Scooby had Fred drop him and Louis off at the Botanical Gardens.
Scooby put Louis down on the ground.
"Scooby, What are we doing here?" Louis questioned.
"To take care of this PTSD Once and For All," Scooby stated,
"How? Louis wondered.
"We are going to sit here and talk about it together and we are going to do relaxing things,now, What have you been seeing?" Scooby explained as he grabbed Louis's hand and held it.
"Okay,so most of the ones have already happened but the last two have not," Louis warned.
"What do these two look like?" Scooby asked.
"This one he seems to have makeup on,he has two horns on his head, he called himself,The Freak Of Crystal Cove," Louis said.
"And the other?" Scooby wondered.
"He called himself the It, when he touched me,my veins I saw them turn black,I felt myself gettin erased,I felt myself losing my mind, he said words but it wasn't a complete sentence,he touched my forehead and I saw an abandoned Church and a strange disk when I saw it in my mind and touched it,it was like I wanted it at any cost," Louis eludicated.
"Alright,I have written it down," Scooby notified.
"Please don't tell the others," Louis requested.
"I won't," Scooby agreed.
"I just want this to be over," Louis cried.
Scooby hugged him and comforted him.
"You'll get through this,now let's do some relaxing stuff okay," Scooby reassured.
"Okay," Louis replied.
As they began to breathe in and out as they held hands.
Professor Pericles watched from outside.
He had heard everything and was officially interested in the Boy.
He had communicated with his Master.
He smiled as he flew away into the night.
