Louis:Previously on Mystery Incorporated.
"The Freak of Crystal Cove is my Father," Fred announced.
"Mayor Jones," The Gang responded.
"My Whole Life has been a Lie,Daphne,I have Parents,I've never known," Fred admitted.
"Well,besides,Tanya," Angel mentioned.
"My Grandmother was involved in this,Start Spilling,Angel,If you really want trust,it's gonna start with you telling me about my Grandmother's Involvement," Louis stated.
"I'll sum it up,You're Grandmother,was our Sixth Member,She,just like you had a Close Relationship with the Animal," Angel said.
"My Grandmother was part of the Original Mystery Incorporated," Louis responded in shock.
"Looks like your Grandmother has Secrets of her own," Daphne added.
"However,Her Relationship with Pericles was more than Platonic,it,it was Romantic," Angel finished.
"Tanya,Along with Pericles,were the ones who betrayed us,I can't tell you the rest,She would have to tell you," Angel pointed out.
There's nothing,Interesting about Treasure,Nothing,Why must Humanity be so Greedy? No one's even sure it exists, Can't we all just get along?" Louis commented.
"I'm afraid not,It's not how that works,besides,there's more than just the Treasure,Right? Louis," Pericles responded.
"What is he talking about?" Scooby wondered.
"He's Leaving," Paula announced pointing to Louis.
"What? You can't do that," Scooby and Louis responded in unison.
"He needs a Place to stay," Scooby warned.
"And,I don't have anyone to stay with," Louis added.
Paula hit her hand hard on the Desk.
"We can,and,We will,He'll leave tonight," Paula stated.
Louis and Scooby gulped.
"This can't be happening," Louis and Scooby murmured at the same time.
"Daphne,The Engagement is off,I'm leaving Crystal Cove and I'm leaving tonight," Fred warned.
"Mystery Incorporated is Dead," Fred announced.
"Didn't you hear him? Mystery Incorporated is dead,If you and Louis had just told us about Angel sooner,this never would have happened,This is your Fault," Daphne cried as she stormed off.
"I can't go to Military School," Shaggy begged.
"And,Don't worry about Scooby,we found him a nice Farm,he could live on,if not,he could stay with Louis,either one," Paula finished.
"Farm," Scooby repeated in disgust.
"So,What happens now? They're gone," Louis mentioned.
"We go our Separate ways," Scooby informed.
"What?" Louis questioned.
"You heard them,I have to live on a Farm," Scooby reminded.
"They said,Could," Louis stated.
"Where else could I stay?" Scooby questioned.
"With me," Louis responded as he grabbed his Paws in his Hands.
"Louis,I can't go without Shaggy,If he's leaving,then,So am I," Scooby notified as he began to walk away.
"Scooby,Scooby,What about us?" Louis added.
"We're done," Scooby replied.
"No,Scooby,We can so this,together,We can finish this," Louis begged as he put his hand on Scooby's Shoulder.
Scooby forced Louis's Hand off.
"No,Don't you get it? It's over,And,Daphne's right,If you wouldn't have kept so many secrets,we would not be here,You kept important Clues from us," Scooby yelled as he turned away.
"Scooby,What about me? I can go with you,maybe," Louis offered.
"No,I want to be alone,You heard them,now,You live on the Street,Have fun with the Street Life,We're done," Scooby finished as he walked off.
"Two Down,Four To Go," Pericles whispered.
"He won," Louis whispered as he watched him fly away into the Night.
Present Day.
It had been Months since Mystery Incorporated split up.
A Man came running out of nowhere.
"Run for your Lives,He's back," The Man cried out as he started to run.
The Man was talking to a Familiar Boy,one,who used to be a Part of the Mystery Incorporated.
A now, Nine Year Old Child,who had been living on the Streets for Months, now.
His Blonde Hair was no longer,Combed and Short,His Hair was Tousled,it was very Thick,and becoming quite long.
His Clothes,were torn and wet from the Previous Rain,that finished a Couple of Hours ago.
This Boy was none other than Louis,the Previously Eight Year Old,who had been left Months ago,by his Number 1 Best Friend,and his other Gang Members,the same people who threw him onto the Streets to die.
"Not again," Louis responded in Fear as he began to roll away.
A Baby Carriage made a Sharp turn onto the Same Street where Louis was.
A Strange Purple Person had been in the Carriage.
He shook a Bottle making it Fizz Purple.
He threw it on the ground near Louis.
It exploded in front of Louis,blasting Louis to the Ground.
The Baby Shook another one and threw it into Fruitmeirs,exploding the Place,as everyone ran out.
The Carriage had a Motor and drove out of that Street and into another one.
It speeded through the Street as People ran away from it.
Sheriff Stone in his Car drove to the Street.
He stopped by the Curbside,where Louis laid.
"Let me guess,He's back," Sheriff Stone guessed as he helped Louis back into his Wheelchair.
"You guessed correctly,He went over that way," Louis pointed out.
"Alright," Sheriff Stone replied as he got ready to get into his Car.
"Oh,take that turn,it's a Shortcut,you'll reach him faster," Louis mentioned.
"You got it,Ah,You might wanna get a Haircut,you look a little Rough," Sheriff Stone added as he got back in the Car and drove to the Shortcut.
Sheriff Stone drove through the Shortcut and ran into him.
The Carriage happened to be coming Sheriff Stone's way.
The Baby threw one under the Sheriff's Car.
It exploded and it toppled the Car over onto the ground.
The Baby drove the Carriage to beside the Sheriff's Car's side.
Sheriff Stone gasped as he saw who was in it.
It was A Giant Man Baby.
"Man Baby,Not real,Man Baby,not real," Sheriff Stone reassured himself.
The Baby spit out his Pacifier and cried.
"You don't like Crybaby Clown,Ooh,Hoo,Hoo,That hurts my Feelings,Maybe,You're just Hungry,Drink up," Crybaby Clown commented as he sat and shook another Bottle.
He threw it into the Sheriff's Car into the Sheriff's Lap.
"Whoa,Mommy," Sheriff Stone whispered as he jumped out of his Car's Passenger's Side.
The Car exploded as Sheriff Stone ducked.
"Hey,Leave him alone," Louis demanded rolling right in front of the Crybaby,in his Hand he was holding a Picture,one he was using as his Sense of Bravery.
"Let me think,No," Crybaby responded.
"Oh dear," Louis muttered.
Crybaby Clown drove towards Louis.
Louis covered his Face as the Crybaby drove towards him.
He ran Louis over,running over Louis's Wheelchair,making Louis fly into the Air.
Louis fell onto the Sidewalk.
The Carriage drove away from Crystal Cove,disappearing,blowing up a Bomb near City Hall.
Sheriff Stone ran to Louis's Side.
"You alright?" Sheriff Stone asked as he kneeled at Louis's Side.
Louis laid on his Side as he watched the Carriage disappear.
"I failed again," Louis informed.
"Now what?" Sheriff Stone questioned.
"I have no idea," Louis agree as he looked at the Picture in his Hand.
He had missed the Gang,but,he missed them to an extent.
The Picture he had in his hand,that he was looking at,was one of Mystery Incorporated,they had taken this Photo after the rest of the Gang had returned from Camp,to find that Louis and Scooby had been in Danger.
Fred stood in the Back with his Arms Crossed Smiling wide,Daphne had her head leaned on Fred's Shoulder,with her hand on Fred's Chest,she had a Soothing Smile on her Face,knowing that they were engaged,Shaggy stood tall for once,trying to act all Macho with his Fist's on his Hips,while Velma leaned on his Side,with a Small Secret Smile on her face,Scooby sat upright in the front with Louis sitting on the ground leaning against Scooby's Chest,the Two Both were winking,as they smiled big at each other and the Camera.
All Six Members looked so happy.
"Back when things were easy,and,we thought,Everything was okay," Louis murmured.
Louis and Sheriff Stone looked up at the Destruction of Crystal Cove.
"Aw man," They both said in unison as they looked.
In City Hall.
The New Mayor,Mayor Janet Nettles was not at her Desk but was watching the Smoke that came up her Window,from the Bomb that hit City Hall.
"What have I gotten myself into?" Janet wondered as she looked in worry at the Smoke and the Destruction caused.
That was when a Trench-coated Figure,who appeared out of the Shadows,of Janet's Office.
"If you ask me? I'd say,it's a Mystery," The Figure added with a Disguised Voice on.
Mayor Nettles stood back,scared by the Figure just popping up in her Office.
"Who-Who are you?" Mayor Nettles asked in concern.
The Figure completely ignored Mayor Nettles's Question.
"They call themselves,Mystery Incorporated," The Figure warned as he threw a Bag on her Desk.
The Contents inside spilled out.
It had Pictures of,Fred,Daphne,Shaggy,Velma,Scooby,and Louis.
"The Dog's locked up on a Farm, Upstate,The Kid,Well,He has been commonly seen on the Streets of Crystal Cove,You're on Your Own,Tracking Down the Others,My Suggestion,Start Tonight," The Figure explained.
Mayor Nettles lifted the Picture of Scooby.
"You want this Mystery Solved? Bring them Home,or,Your Run as the New Mayor of Crystal Cove,is going to be Short-Lived," The Figure finished as he opened and jumped out the Window.
Mayor Nettles ran to the Window and saw the Sign of Crystal Cove on Fire.
The Same Night.
At the Farm.
Inside a Closed Off Room.
Scooby was tossing a Ball into the Wall.
It would bounce off the Wall,and it went into his Mouth.
He took it out of his Mouth and,did it again,repeatedly.
It was the Farmer.
"Hope you had a Nice Time in the Hole,Dog," The Farmer added as forced Scooby back into the Barn and slammed the Doors.
Scooby huffed in Anger.
"Trying to tell me what to do with my Life," Scooby complained as he walked.
He walked and met with the Cow,he had been with,for Months.
The Cow stared at him.
"Look,I had to try to escape,Okay," Scooby stated as he walked over to his Bed.
He lifted a Picture up,it was the Same Picture,Louis owned.
He had it,in a Frame.
"I made a Promise to my Friends,Cause if I don't,He wins," Scooby continued as he flipped the Photo around,revealing a Picture of Pericles.
Scooby sighed as he went back to his Friends's Photo.
"Back when it was Easy,I never should have left him,I miss you,Buddy,I've thought about you every day" Scooby murmured as he looked at Louis in the Picture and put his Paw on Louis as he talked.
He looked back up to the Cow.
"Well,What would you do?" Scooby wondered.
The Cow just ate and stared into Outer Space.
"Fine,Stay here,and,let em,Milk you," Scooby responded in anger.
The Cow rolled it's Eyes.
"Nobody milks Scooby-Doo," Scooby added.
The Cow still said nothing.
"Sooner or Later,I'll escape," Scooby whispered.
He opened a Loose Board in the Barn.
He snuck out through there.
Scooby waited till the Light stopped shining his Way.
He stuck his Head out from behind the Wall,to see if he was there,or not.
He ducked and used his Toes to crawl away from there.
Scooby flipped and made it to a Tree.
He climbed up into the Tree.
He,then slid back down out of it.
He tippy-toed over to the Gate.
He put a Stick over the Gate.
He began to crawl underneath it.
Scooby was making it,until his Tail hit the Stick.
The Stick fell onto Scooby's Tail and he got electrocuted.
He screamed as he got electrocuted.
He managed to get out before it could continue.
The Alarms went off.
Scooby heard it.
"Tarnation,That's it,Come back here,I got a Double-Barreled Surprise for you," The Farmer threatened as he had his Rifle in his Hand.
Scooby ran into the Corn Field.
Scooby ran through the Field as the Farmer shot at him.
Scooby made it to the Road,safely.
He saw Headlights from behind him.
He turned around and saw a Car.
He screamed and stayed in front.
The Car skidded to a Stop as it slid onto it's side.
Scooby ducked expecting to be run over.
It stopped just in time.
Scooby shook out of Fear.
The Car Door open.
"Scooby-Doo," Mayor Nettles called stepping out of the Car.
"Uh,Yeah?" Scooby wondered.
"Get in," Mayor Nettles ordered holding the Door open for him.
Scooby jumped inside and the Car took off.
Inside the Car.
Scooby was confused.
"Do I know you?" Scooby questioned.
"My name is Janet Nettles,I'm the new Mayor of Crystal Cove,The Town and I need your Help,Scooby-Doo,We've been attacked by an Evil Man-Baby named Crybaby Clown," Mayor Nettles explained.
"Sorry,Can't help you,Not until I find my Friends," Scooby informed.
"I think, I can help you with that,There's everything on their Whereabouts,I could dig up,Anything else?" Mayor Nettles notified as she sat and threw the File beside him.
Scooby opened the File.
The First one on the List was Louis.
He saw him,he was in a Photo,he was in the Background,on the Streets,where Scooby had left him.
Scooby saw his Hair,and how messy, it was.
He saw his Torn Clothes.
He saw how many Bruises Louis had.
"What have I done?" Scooby mumbled to himself as he looked at him.
He realized from the Pictures,she had found,they all looked like,he was having a Rough Time.
"Scooby-Doo," Mayor Nettles called wondering what else he needed.
"Uh,Got any Scooby Snacks?" Scooby asked as he looked up at her.
In Crystal Cove,The Limo stopped at a Bench,in the Middle of the Streets of Crystal Cove.
Outside,it was Raining Hard.
Louis was underneath the Bench,shivering.
Scooby got out of the Limo and saw him under the Bench.
He felt so bad,at the moment,this was his Fault after all.
He went up to underneath the Bench.
He knelt down,so,Louis could see him.
"Hey,Louis," Scooby whispered as he looked at him.
"Sc-Sc-Scooby is,th-th-that you?" Louis wondered.
"Yeah,It's me," Scooby replied.
"How do I know? It really is you," Louis questioned.
Scooby put his Paw on Louis's Shoulder.
"It's me," Scooby pointed out with a Smile.
"Scooby,It is you,It's so nice to..." Louis said.
"Hit you," Louis finished as he punched Scooby to the ground.
Scooby fell onto the Wet Ground.
"Okay,I deserved that," Scooby admitted.
Louis crawled up over to Scooby.
He crawled up to Scooby's Face.
He grabbed Scooby's Collar.
"You bet,You deserve it," Louis added.
"Louis,Look," Scooby tried to say.
"You left me,You know how much that hurt," Louis shouted.
"Louis," Scooby called.
"What?" Louis retorted.
"I am getting the Team back together," Scooby warned.
Louis got even angrier.
Louis punched Scooby in the Face again.
"Are you crazy? Take that back,You are crazy,We left for a Reason,and,now,you are trying to get the Team back together,like,nothing ever happened," Louis yelled as he shook Scooby in anger.
"Louis,Look,I," Scooby tried to explain.
"You come back,now,After Months of not seeing you,I could have used you,so,so,many times,and,every time,I hoped,you were not there,Why? Why have you come to see me?" Louis shouted.
"Louis,Truth is,I am trying to bring the Team back together,but,You were the First,I wanted you to be the First," Scooby said.
"What?" Louis wondered as he heard what he said.
Tears were starting to come down his Cheeks.
"Louis,look,Leaving you behind was the Biggest Mistake of my Life,I saw that Months ago,I would have come back,sooner,but,that Farmer,did not let me,I took advantage of the Life I had,You are my Number 1 Best Friend," Scooby explained as he put his Paw on Louis's Cheek.
"You were gonna come back?" Louis repeated as he cried.
"Yes,Yes,I wanted to,Everything I chose that night was a Mistake,and,I never forgot you,You were on my Mind,every day,I see you now,and,I feel bad for what happened to you,You didn't deserve this,I'm Sorry,I know,you don't trust me,but,I will never leave you again,Louis,If there was one thing,I would want to redo,would be Meeting you,Cause,You are the most Perfect Boy,I've ever met," Scooby finished as he wiped away the Tear from Louis's Cheek.
"Why?" Louis questioned.
"Cause,I love you,Louis,I really do,I love everything about you,How you Inspire me,How your Cute Smile is,Your Sarcasm,Your Laugh,Your Hair,How you see the World,How you make me a Better Dog,Louis,You are the Best thing that has ever happened to me" Scooby admitted.
Louis smiled and put his Hand on Scooby's Paw that was on his Cheek.
Louis burst into Tears as he buried his Face in Scooby's Chest.
Scooby sat up and hugged him.
"It's okay,From now on,We are never gonna be alone again,I never want us to be alone again." Scooby reassured as he comforted him.
Louis sobbed as he hugged Scooby tightly,honestly,he didn't want to let go.
He had missed Scooby so much.
"I was so lonely,I missed you so much,I didn't know what to do,I wanted to see you again,I wanted to see your Furry Face again,I felt alone and hurt" Louis cried as he cradled Scooby's Face and hugged his Face.
"You aren't alone,anymore," Scooby replied muffledly.
Mayor Nettles stepped out.
"Uh,As Adorable as this is,We have others to get,We don't have much time," Mayor Nettles warned.
"Who's She?" Louis asked as he wiped his Tears.
"This is the New Mayor of Crystal Cove," Scooby introduced.
"Mayor Janet Nettles," Mayor Nettles finished.
"Could you get his Wheelchair in the Limo?" Scooby requested.
"Of course," Janet agreed.
When they got in.
Mayor Nettles continued to comfort Louis.
"So,Who's next?" Louis wondered.
"Shaggy," Scooby answered.
In the Military.
The General walked into a Room,where Soldiers stood.
Most,at least.
"You are nothing,but,Insignificant Polyps on the Goiter of Humanity," The General shouted.
"Yes,Sir,Goiter,Sir," The Soldiers replied.
"Private Hippie,Did I not tell you to Shave that Growth off your Chin?" The General reminded.
"Like,Dude,Sir,Um,It's kind of got a Mind of it's Own,I might not even be sure really what it is," Shaggy informed.
"Private Hippie,Do you take me for a Fool?" The General yelled as he got in Shaggy's Face.
"Um,Sir,Do you really want me to Answer that?" Shaggy questioned.
Before the General could say something else,they all felt a Big Rumbling coming from Outside.
The Soldiers all lined up.
"What the?" The General whispered for once.
Suddenly,A Tank burst through the Wall.
Someone opened the Door.
It was Scooby.
"Leave my Pilot Hippie,I mean,Shaggy,Alone," Scooby commanded.
"Scooby-Doo,Like,Boy,Am I glad to see you?" Shaggy cheered as he chuckled and walked over to the Tank.
Louis climbed up Scooby's Back and grabbed onto Scooby's Neck.
"Ow,Be," Scooby requested.
"I'm trying,you're," Louis tried to inform.
"Hey,Ooh," Scooby complained.
Scooby groaned as he put Louis on his Head.
"I'm here,too," Louis added.
"Guys,It's good to see you," Shaggy stated as he went towards the Tank.
Scooby and Shaggy hugged,while,they did,Louis slid down Scooby's Back,back into the Tank.
The General grabbed a Gun.
"We're under attack,Boys,Remember your Training," The General demanded as he prepared to fire.
The other Soldiers ran away,Screaming.
The General groaned.
"Teenagers," The General muttered.
"See ya," Louis announced from in the Tank.
Scooby and Shaggy went back in and drove out towards the General.
The General screamed as he ducked.
The Tank drove out of the Room and out of the Base.
"Like,How did you two find me?" Shaggy questioned.
The Three had their Heads sticking out of the Front of the Tank.
"New Mayor,She provided Scooby with the Information to find us," Louis answered.
"Crystal Cove's being attacked by an Evil Man Baby Clown,They need us," Scooby replied.
"For once,Trust me,He is quite annoying," Louis commented.
"Oh,Shaggy,What happened to your Luxurious Hair?" Louis questioned.
"Ah,I was,like,Forced to Shave it,this way," Shaggy informed.
Louis stuck out his Tongue in disgust.
"So,You gonna help us?" Scooby mentioned.
"Like,Let's do it," Shaggy agreed.
"By the Way,I like the Pilot Hat,Scooby," Louis complemented.
"Thank you,Louis," Scooby thanked.
"Glad to hear,You two made up," Shaggy added.
"It took awhile,He punched me," Scooby pointed out.
"Eh,Anger is a thing," Louis responded.
Back in Crystal Cove.
Fred knocked on another Door.
"Hello,Sir or Madam,Could you tell me if Brad Chiles or Judy Reeves lives here?" Fred requested.
His Clothes were torn,he hadn't shaved in Eons,and his Hair was long.
He was a Hobo.
He hadn't even slept in Weeks.
He walked away from that House and to the next one.
He sighed as he knocked on the Door.
The Man answered the Door.
"Hi,Sir or Madam,Could you take," Fred requested.
Before Fred could finish,the Man slammed the Door in his Face.
Fred walked down the Porch and to the Next House.
That was when a Tank drive by and stopped at where Fred was.
Shaggy emerged from the Tank and ran to Fred as he walked.
"Fred," Shaggy and Scooby announced in unison.
They both ran to him and hugged him.
"Shaggy,Scooby,What are you doing here?" Fred responded as they hugged him.
"Yikes,Fred,You look almost like me,except,I don't have Facial Hair," Louis added.
"Louis,You too?" Fred asked.
"I'm afraid so,I was the First to be gotten," Louis warned.
"What are you three doing here?" Fred questioned.
Shaggy and Scooby let go and stepped back to explain.
"Like,We're trying to find you," Shaggy replied.
"Why do you look like a Hobo?" Scooby wondered.
"Do I? I hadn't noticed," Fred stated.
He went to the Tank and carried Louis down.
"Man,I really need a Bath and a Haircut,and,probably some other things," Louis added.
"We'll take care of that," Scooby reassured as he carried Louis in his Arms.
He put Louis down on the ground and took his Wheelchair out of the Tank.
Fred started to walk away.
"Sorry,Guys,but,I'm not coming back,till,I find my Parents," Fred informed as he walked.
Louis,Scooby,and Shaggy followed walking and rolling after him.
"But,Like,Dude,Crystal Cove is Under Attack by a Crazy, Man Baby," Shaggy informed trying to talk some sense into him,he stopped as Fred continued.
Louis and Scooby stopped along with Shaggy.
Fred walked to the Next House.
"Find Somebody else," Fred ordered.
"But,Fred,He's also an Evil Clown," Scooby added.
"Please,Fred," Louis pleaded.
"What?" Fred asked in worry,hearing the Evil Clown part.
"Uh,Evil Clown," Louis and Scooby repeated in unison.
Fred sighed.
"I'm in," Fred agreed.
"Three Down,"Scooby announced.
"Two to go," Louis replied.
Scooby and Louis smiled at each other.
Later,Fred took them in the Mystery Machine and drove back towards Crystal Cove.
While they drove that way,Fred explained.
Louis,Shaggy,and Fred sat in the Front as Scooby stuck his Head out from the Back.
"Years ago,the Drake Brothers captured a Crazy Evil Baby Clown,in,what is now referred to in Trapping Circles as the Omega Conundrum,but,no one has ever trapped a Crazy,Evil Baby Clown,that was also,a Man," Fred explained.
"Okay," Louis responded in a Weirded out Tone as he crossed his Arms and looked at Fred.
"He would be the First," Shaggy said.
"Legendary," Scooby complemented as he laid his Muzzle on Louis's Head.
"But,As soon,as he's trapped,I'm continuing my Search," Fred warned as he drove.
"Absolutely," Shaggy agreed.
"You can do it,all you want,as for me and Scooby,We are not Separating,Right? Pal," Louis responded.
"Yep,Scooby-Doo and Louis Parker,Friends Forever," Scooby announced.
"The Crowd goes Wild," Louis commented as he grabbed a Scooby Snack and held it out to Scooby.
They both laughed at their Playing around as Scooby ate the Scooby Snack.
Scooby swallowed it.
"Scooby-Dooby-Doo," Scooby shouted.
Louis put his Hand up to Scooby's Head and patted his Head.
He used his other Hand and grabbed another Scooby Snack as he held it out to Scooby.
Louis was so Hungry,He started eating them.
He had Scooby bite a Piece and Louis would bite another,and,so forth.
They kept sharing until the Box was gone.
Fred drove back into Crystal Cove and stopped on one of the Streets.
"This is where,He was last seen," Louis notified.
The Four got out and looked around.
"Wow,This Place looks Deserted," Fred said as he looked in front of them.
Louis and Scooby stayed beside him.
"Not quite,Look," Shaggy yelled as he turned around seeing the Shadow of the Carriage.
The Carriage drove out onto the Street and screeched as it made the Sharp Turn.
It drove towards them.
Scooby and Shaggy ran into the Van.
Louis covered his Eyes,expecting to be run over again.
Scooby pulled Louis and his Wheelchair in,in the nick of time.
The Baby started Crying as he drove past Fred.
"Oh boy,Trap Legendaryness,Here I come," Fred announced as he stood there and posed in a Confidence and Fightful Stance.
The Clown turned around towards Fred.
"Uh oh," Fred whispered as he saw it coming towards him.
Shaggy stuck his Head out of the Mystery Machine.
"Fred,Get out of there,Run,Oh,ho,Run," Shaggy shouted in worry.
Louis sat in the Front Seat with Scooby in his Lap,as they two watched in concern.
Fred was frozen in the Middle of the Rode as Crybaby Clown drove towards him, fake crying.
Fred finally ran seeing how Close Crybaby Clown was.
He was almost right behind him
Fred jumped under the Car,just in time.
Crybaby Clown turned around and stopped in front of the Mystery Machine.
"No fair,Crybaby Clown wants to Play Tag,and,You're it," Crybaby Clown threatened as he pointed to him and pressed a Button.
Shaggy,Louis,and Scooby stuck their Heads out and gasped.
Fred gasped from under the Mystery Machine
It made a Gun appear,it shot a Purple Fizzing Bottle to the ground, next to the Mystery Machine.
It exploded,exploding the Van's Tire,almost blowing it.
He prepared to shoot another one, as Fred ran out away from the Van,Screaming.
It shot one at him from right behind him.
When it exploded,it almost knocked Fred off his Feet.
He continued to run and he ran around in a Zig-Zag,to confuse him.
Crybaby Clown growled, as he pulled a Lever making his Carriage drive up the Road after Fred.
Scooby and Louis watched as he drove past them.
"Oh,He's in trouble," Louis and Scooby added in unison
Fred made a Turn as he ran.
Crybaby Clown could not make the Turn,so he skidded to the Side and shot one out as he drove past the Alleyway.
It bounced on the ground and exploded,missing Fred.
Crybaby Clown made a U-Turn and drove to the Alley where Fred was running.
Back in the Van.
"Shaggy,Louis,We have to help,Fred," Scooby requested as he sat in Louis's Lap.
"I'm with you all the way,Buddy," Louis agreed as he looked at him with a Confident Smile.
Scooby smiled back.
"Glad to hear,Blondie" Scooby responded.
"Where's Shaggy? SD," Louis mentioned.
"Shaggy," Scooby called as he looked around the Front of the Van while still on Louis's Lap.
Scooby and Louis looked around for him.
Scooby stood on Louis's Lap and looked in the back.
"Where is he?" Scooby whispered.
"Uh,Scooby,I would really like not to see your Bottom Half so close," Louis requested.
Scooby stopped leaning.
"Better," Scooby asked.
"A little,We're still kind of in a Funky Position,cause,you are in my Lap," Louis informed.
"Oh,Right," Scooby replied as he sat back down in his Lap.
That was when,they both heard a Sound.
"You hear that?" Louis questioned.
Scooby nodded.
They both looked down and found Shaggy,laying near the Pedals,Whimpering.
Shaggy turned to them.
"Military School,did you a lot of good," Scooby added sarcastically.
"You have done,Your First Sarcasm,Scooby,Congratulations,Cherish it," Louis congratulated.
"Thank you,I will,besides,I learned from the Best," Scooby thanked.
"Aw," Louis responded.
Louis put the Key in the Ignition and turned it,to start the Mystery Machine.
Louis put his Foot on the Pedal.
"Uh,I can't put enough Pressure,cause,of my Disabledness" Louis warned.
"Let me help you," Scooby offered.
Scooby got off Louis's Lap and put Louis beside him.
Scooby sat in the Driver Seat and put Louis in his Lap.
Scooby put his Foot on the Accelerator and Louis put his Foot on Scooby's Foot.
"Drive," Scooby ordered confidently.
"Yes Sir,Pilot SD,Sir," Louis replied as he moved the Steering Wheel.
The Mystery Machine was driving towards Fred.
"Go right," Scooby announced guiding Louis,who could not see over the Steering Wheel.
"You got it,Dog," Louis answered as he made a Right Turn.
Meanwhile,Fred was still running through the Streets with Crybaby Clown behind him.
Fred panted from his Long Running.
Crybaby Clown cried fakely.
However,that Crying went into Laughter,as he got closer.
He was so close to hitting Fred in the Keister.
Before he could continue Running,He was grabbed by a Net,right in Front of Crybaby Clown's Eyes.
He went through turns in an Alleyway.
Crybaby Clown was confused.
He skidded to a stop.
He looked around for him.
He decided to re-trace his Steps to where He disappeared.
He stopped at the Alleyway and looked,but saw nothing,and drove off.
Fred was around the Corner against the Wall in the Net.
He saw what he was in,and, noticed, that it looked familiar.
"Hey,I know this Net," Fred whispered in it.
Suddenly,He heard the Same Voice from when,Mayor Nettles got the Visit.
This time,the Figure was in the Window.
"You should,You built it," The Figure pointed out as he took out a Knife.
He cut Fred down and jumped out of the Window and stood, beside Fred,proud of his Work.
"Nice Fur Bed," He commented as he pointed at it.
"Wait,Wry Sense of Humor,tinged with a Whiff of Disdain and Superiority,Velma,"Fred muttered and guessed out loud,turning to see who it was.
The Figure took off his Hood to reveal who he really was,or,better yet,She.
It was Velma.
"Who were you expecting? Rorschach," Velma added as she took off the Mask and Hat.
Fred was so happy to see her,he hugged her waist,tightly.
"Ohh,It's so good to see you,Velma," Fred stated.
"Jinkies,I think this is the Most PDA,you've ever shown me," Velma said as he hugged her.
That was when,they heard a Loud Tire Screeching coming their Way.
It was Shaggy,Scooby,and Louis.
Scooby and Louis pressed hard on the Brake,and stopped the Mystery Machine,right in front of them.
Scooby set Louis down on the Seat and jumped out to Fred.
"Like,Don't worry,Fred,We'll save you," Shaggy announced as he got out too.
Shaggy and Scooby charged Velma and tried to tackle her.
She quickly dodged, by jumping out of the way.
They fell and rolled in a Ball on the ground.
They ended up on their Stomachs,by the time,they stopped rolling.
Fred helped Louis out and put him in his Wheelchair.
Velma got in front of Shaggy and Scooby.
Shaggy and Scooby looked up.
Velma re-removed the Hat and Mask and looked down on them.
"It's nice to see you guys,too," Velma commented.
"Velma," Shaggy and Scooby responded in unison.
They both hugged her.
"Oy,Where was this Affection when we were dating?" Velma wondered as they hugged.
Scooby had missed her so much,he licked her Face,profusely.
"Okay,Okay,Scooby," Velma responded happily as she cradled Scooby's Face and hugged his Face to her.
She let go of them and turned around.
"Velma,Is it true? Is it really you?" Louis questioned in a Sad and Innocent Tone.
A Tear came down his Cheek.
Velma knelt down on One Knee.
"Yes,It is,It's me," Velma murmured.
He didn't know what to say.
He just quickly hugged her to him.
"I missed you so much,I tried Contacting," Louis cried as he hugged her.
"I know,I know,I missed you too,Gosh,I did," Velma responded as they hugged.
When they let go,Velma saw Tears coming down his Cheek.
She wiped the Tears off his Cheeks.
"And,I promise to explain," Velma warned.
"Sounds fair," Louis replied as he wiped his Tears and sniffled.
Scooby went to Louis and began to lick his Tears away.
"Yeah,Yeah,I missed you too,Buddy," Louis added.
The Five drove up to the Hill,so, They could see all of Crystal Cove.
They sat on top of the Mystery Machine.
Fred sat at the Left End with Velma next to him,on his Right,Scooby sat next to her laying on his Stomach and Louis laid on his back,while Shaggy was at the Right End.
As they watched Crystal Cove,Velma began to explain.
"It's been Chaos since you left,Crybaby Clown, has terrorized the Town,and,He's destroyed Tourism," Velma started.
"Boy,Do I know about the Chaos Part,I tried to take him on every time,and,I failed,either got run over,or blasted to the ground,or,just rammed into a Wall," Louis said.
"You tried to do it all by yourself?" Velma questioned like she couldn't believe her Ears.
"Well,Yeah,Since you guys all left me,I decided to do it for you guys,to continue Solving Mysteries,but,every time,I just got more and more hurt," Louis notified.
Since Scooby could not put his Paw on his Shoulder,he moved his Tail,and he had his Tail softing Louis's Hand,to comfort him.
"Sorry,Louis," Velma apologized.
"It's okay," Louis lied.
To him,it was not okay,It still hurt that,neither,Velma or Daphne took him in,it really bothered him.
"Anyway,At first,I didn't care,I didn't want anything to do with Mystery Solving," Velma continued.
"Because of us,I'm sorry,we left you behind,Velma,It wasn't personal," Fred guessed.
"Yes,it was,I admit,I messed up,by not telling you Angel was an Original Member of the First Mystery Incorporated," Velma admitted.
"Yeah,We both did," Louis also admitted.
"Louis,you did not know,what you were hiding," Scooby reassured.
"But,It still is my Fault," Louis shouted.
Scooby sat silent.
"Sorry,It's just a Little hard being back together again," Louis whispered to Scooby.
"It's okay,I understand," Scooby replied.
"But,Leaving me,and,I am sure probably,you," Velma resumed as she pointed at Louis,guessing it hurt him as well.
Louis nodded in agreement.
"Hurt," Velma and Louis said in unison as they looked down in sadness.
"In the End,though,I realized, I had to help,and,I couldn't do it alone,I'm not Mystery Incorporated,We all are," Velma finished as she put her hands on Scooby and Fred's Shoulders.
"What about Angel?" Shaggy mentioned.
"And Mr. E," Louis added in anger.
"And,Pericles," Scooby announced.
"No one's seen Mr. E since the Night,Fred's Dad,I mean,Mayor Jones was arrested,Angel came to my House once,but,I wouldn't talk to her,as for, Pericles,I assumed he drowned in the Caves with the Pieces of the Planispheric Disc," Velma explained.
Scooby looked down in disappointment.
Louis did as well.
They both remember him coming,very well.
"Scooby,like,What's wrong? Bud," Shaggy asked.
"Pericles survived,I saw him,And,He has the Disc Pieces," Scooby warned.
"What?" Fred,Velma,Louis and Shaggy responded in unison.
"He visited you too," Louis announced.
"Yeah,Did he visit you too?" Scooby wondered in concern as he got Louis off his back and carried him by his Arms.
"I'm afraid,He said,He had the Disc Pieces,Among other things," Louis answered as he lowered his head.
"What other things?" Scooby questioned as he lowered his Head to face Louis's.
"That it was your Choice to leave me,that it was Fred's Choice to End Mystery Incorporated and it was the Parent's Choice to break us up," Louis replied.
Scooby put Louis down in his Lap.
"Oh,Louis," Scooby mumbled as he put his arms around Louis.
Louis put his Hand on Scooby's Arms.
"He also said,something about us seeing his Master," Louis mentioned.
"Master," The others repeated all at once.
"So,If Pericles gets the other Four Disc Pieces," Velma was trying to say.
She stopped, when she felt Someone's Hand on her Shoulders.
It was Fred's.
"One Mystery at a Time,Pericles first needs to find the other Disc Pieces,that could take Months,Years,Right now,we have to deal with Crybaby Clown,Which means,we still need one more thing...Daphne," Fred explained.
"Uh,That might be a Problem," Velma informed.
Later,They watched from the Mystery Machine,Daphne on her Date.
Fred looked through the Binoculars.
"Boyfriend,That Guy,No way,He's too Handsome," Fred pointed out.
Louis still sat in the Middle of the Front Seat.
Louis rolled his Eyes as he took the Binoculars from Fred.
He looked at them.
"Wow, That is a Man right there," Louis added as he looked through the Binoculars.
Velma gave Louis a Weirded out Face,from his Comment.
"Hey,I can be Manly,too," Scooby complained from the Back as he crossed his Arms.
Louis looked up over the Front Seat to Scooby.
"Aw,Scooby,Are you Jealous?" Louis asked in a Baby-ish Voice.
Scooby blushed Red and turned away as he crossed his Arms.
"No,Of course not," Scooby lied.
"Aw,You are Blushing,You are Jealous," Louis commented.
"Okay,Maybe a Little," Scooby admitted.
"Scooby,I am not going to fall in love with him,or anything,I am completely straight,I am not gay,bisexual,okay,He's not going to be my Best Friend,Either,I already have one,and,he's irreplaceable," Louis reassured as he grabbed Scooby's Paw and intertwined his Fingers with Scooby's Fingers to reassure him.
"Blech,Like,Sometimes,I wonder if you are,gay," Shaggy mumbled under his Breath.
Scooby was so happy,he hugged Louis's Neck and Face.
"I love you so much,You are the Best," Scooby cheered as he hugged them tightly.
Fred grabbed the Binoculars from Louis's Hands and continued looking.
"What is that Weirdo with her Hands?" Fred questioned.
"He's holding them,Fred,It's what Boyfriends do with,Girlfriends," Velma commented
"Well,Let me see those Binoculars,Fred," Shaggy requested.
Fred held them out to Shaggy.
"Like,Is it me? Or,Does that dude look a lot like that Famous Actor from all those Dusk Movies,What's his name?" Shaggy wondered.
"Baylor Hotner," Scooby finished as he let go of Louis to look.
"Well,If I was Daphne,which I am glad I am not,I would say he's hot,but,since,I'm me,He's absolutely Manly,I envy," Louis stated.
Scooby gave him a Weirded out Look.
"What? He is," Louis admitted.
Scooby shook his Head in disapproval.
"Yeah,Scooby's right,He's the one with the Amazing Abs who plays,the Were-Turtle," Shaggy agreed.
"Oh,Yeah,Shaggy's right,I'd recognize those Abs anywhere," Louis agreed.
"It looks like Baylor Hotner,becasue,it is Baylor Hotner,He's in Crystal Cove doing Research for the Latest Dusk Movie,Dusk 4,Still Dusk," Velma pointed out.
"Yikes,That is Three too many," Louis commented.
"Yeah,I got something he can Research," Fred added as he got out and Slammed the Door.
He walked across the Street towards the Restaurant.
Cars passed by him and honked before he moved out of the way.
Fred walked up to the Window and watched them.
"So,You delivered a Baby? From a Monkey?" Daphne wondered.
"Sure,I've delivered lots of Animal Babies,I'm not just all about Acting and having Super Amazing Abs," Baylor agreed.
"Wow,Baylor,You've been all over the World,and,I've never even been farther than Gatorsburg," Daphne stated.
"You know,I'm traveling to Africa,Next Month,to shoot a Commercial for my Pro-Environment Cause,Go Green Jeans," Baylor mentioned.
It broke into the Commercial.
"It's Compost on your Behind,Fits like a Glove as you start to Grind,Healthy for the Earth,If it makes you feel better,Buy it for Your Butt be a Green Trend-Setter," Baylor sand as two Ladies danced with him.
"Go Green Jeans," Baylor announced.
After the Commercial that Baylor was thinking about,he finished what he was saying.
Fred sank against the Glass as he watched.
"Maybe,You'd like to,uh, come along on the Shoot," Baylor offered.
As Fred sank,Scooby and the Gang watched.
"Uh oh," Scooby added as he pointed to him.
"You said it,SD," Louis agreed.
The Gang began to run over to Fred.
They passed by One Car,barely,almost getting run over.
They stopped in the middle as the one from behind them Honked.
They waited for an Opening.
Another Car passed when they were about to try.
They screamed as it drove past them.
Baylor and Daphne walked out with Daphne's Hand around Baylor's Arm.
As they walked,She saw Fred down on the Ground,looking like a Hobo.
Daphne gasped as she saw him.
"Baylor,Look,A Hobo,We've never had one in Crystal Cove before,We should give him Change or Hard Candy or Something," Daphne said as she stopped them from continuing their Stroll.
Fred's Smile faded,noticing that she did not recognize him.
"Sure,I think,I've got an Extra Baggie of Whey Protein on me," Baylor agreed as he put in Fred's Hand.
Baylor and Daphne headed towards their Car.
"Oh,Baylor,You're everything I knew I wanted," Daphne complemented as he opened the Door for her and had her sit.
He went to his Seat.
"I know," Baylor responded proudly as he walked to his Side.
"To think,My Whole Life used to revolve around Mystery-Solving,What a Waste,Huh," Daphne commented as she sat.
He sat down and buckled himself in.
He started the Car and they took off.
Louis heard it and felt hurt by Daphne's Statement.
He liked Daphne,and their Time with the Gang,Mystery Solving,he did not think it was a Waste.
Fred looked at the Bar.
"She didn't even recognize me," Fred whispered as he looked at it.
"I'm sorry,Fred,You broke her Heart,She moved on," Velma warned as her,Shaggy,and Scooby walked up to him.
"Without me," Fred murmured realizing it.
At Fred's House.
Fred let the Gang in.
Louis wanted to get ready,before,he went to see the Mayor.
"Why again? Do you want to get ready?" Velma questioned.
"I don't want to look like an Awful Street Kid," Louis pointed out.
"He's got a Point," Fred added as he sat down on the Floor and laid there sulking.
Velma groaned as she sat down on the Floor beside him.
Shaggy went to the Kitchen,to look for something.
Scooby followed Louis to the Bathroom.
Velma sat beside Fred.
"Fred,I'm sure she'll come back," Velma reassured.
"Maybe," Fred whispered.
"Or,Like,Maybe,We lost her Forever," Shaggy informed from the Kitchen.
Velma glared at him,telling him that he was not making him feel better.
"What?" Shaggy wondered.
Meanwhile,Louis was in a Tub full of Water.
He sat in there spread across in the Tub.
Scooby sat on the Toilet beside the Tub.
"Your Clothes look awful," Scooby mentioned as he looked at his Torn Clothes.
"I know,they kind of are the only ones I have,Shaggy's Parents did not allow me to grab my Stuff," Louis warned as he used a Loofah on his Back.
Louis stopped Bathing and leaned on the Edge of the Tub.
Louis looked at Scooby.
"What?" Scooby asked.
"Did you mean everything you said back at the Bench?" Louis questioned.
"Louis,Of course,I did,Everything I said,Is what I think and Feel,besides,Every day,the Time I spent in that Hole,I felt alone,Extremely Alone,like,no one in the World cared,Each time I was there,Playing Catch with myself,I thought of you,Thinking,The Only Kid who actually cared about me,I pushed away from me,I left him on the Streets,but,still,these questions came to my mind,Where you were? What you were doing? What your Situation was? I expected you to be living a Happy Life without me," Scooby explained.
"Scooby,My Life is not Complete, unless you are in it," Louis complemented.
"Aw,That's Sweet,Louis,Thanks," Scooby thanked as he hugged Louis while he was in the Bathtub,he leaned as he hugged him.
Louis hugged him back.
When Scooby let go,he was about to sit back on the Toilet.
Scooby took a Step back to sit down,where he put his Foot,it was a Wet Area.
His Foot slid,making Scooby slip.
He fell into the Bathtub onto Louis.
"Ow,Hey,What were you feeling lonely out there by yourself?" Louis added.
"No,This is your Fault,Blondie," Scooby notified.
"Hey,You fell in," Louis reminded.
Shaggy opened the Door.
"I missed you,Louis," Scooby said to Louis.
"I missed you too,Scooby-Doo," Louis agreed.
"Hey,Scoob,Do you want some too?" Shaggy wondered.
The Minute,He looked in the Bathtub,he saw Louis and Scooby in there together on top of one another.
"Uh,Shaggy,It is not what it looks like," Louis tried to warn.
"No,No,Take your Time,I'll leave you two alone,You mate with my Dog,I will kill you," Shaggy responded as he closed the Door.
"Why does this always happen?" Louis wondered.
"I don't know,I guess,they just have Horrible Timing," Scooby guessed.
"Yeah,That's probably it,Look at the Bright Side,though,now,You can take a Bath," Louis mentioned.
"I don't usually take Baths but,I'll make an Exception for you,today," Scooby warned as he got off of Louis and sat in front of Louis in the Tub.
"Good,Cause,You probably stink," Louis whispered.
"Oh,Are you Insulting my Smell? Blondie," Scooby replied.
"Maybe,SD," Louis answered.
Scooby chuckled and,Louis chuckled as well.
Louis took out a Container of Strawberry Shortcake Body Wash.
Louis had bought one,with the help of Velma.
"Well,It seems I'll be licking the both of us,when We're clean," Scooby stated.
"It appears so," Louis said with a Smile.
Louis took a Handful of Strawberry Shortcake Body Wash and began to lather it on Scooby's Shoulders.
Scooby leaned his Muzzle on Louis's Head as Louis began to lather him with Soap.
Louis put his Hands on Scooby's Chest to Soap that too.
"What happened here?" Louis asked feeling how Rough his Chest was, removing a Hand.
It was not as Soft as Louis once remembered it.
"Here?" Scooby wondered putting his Paw where Louis's Hand was.
"Yeah," Louis replied.
"Oh,That,Well,The Farmer that I lived with,He would punish me if I tried to Escape,It was either, being in a Hole or,I would get whipped,lots of times,when I got whipped,I would try to run,and I would get Whipped on my Chest or worse,my Leg," Scooby explained.
He put his Leg out of the Water,showing Louis, the Whip Scars on his Leg.
"Oh,Scooby," Louis whispered as he felt the Scars on his Leg.
"Don't worry,It doesn't hurt much," Scooby reassured.
Louis hugged Scooby's Chest.
"Whoa,Why are you hugging me?" Scooby questioned.
"I should have fought more,this is all my fault,if I had,you would not have those Scars," Louis admitted as he hugged him explaining the Reason.
"Louis,This isn't your Fault," Scooby warned.
"Yes,It is,I did not fight hard enough," Louis informed.
"The More,you would have fought,the More I would have rejected,that was the Life I chose,not you,I put you onto the Street,cause,I was all about Shaggy,Something I do not plan to duplicate," Scooby eludicated.
Louis sat frozen,he had his Hand on Scooby's Chest.
He could not seem to let go that Scooby was tortured.
His Chest was so Rough,not as Furry,as it used to be.
Scooby put his Paw on Louis's Hand.
Louis looked up at Scooby.
They both smiled at each other.
Louis did Scooby's back next.
Scooby sat in between Louis's Legs with his Back face towards Louis.
Louis scrubbed Scooby's Back while Scooby talked to him.
"Alright,Let's get the Paws done," Louis mentioned with a Smile.
"Aw,Do we have to?" Scooby questioned.
"I'm afraid so,The Paws stink,so,you must," Louis notified.
Scooby hanged his Head down in disappointment as he stretched his Foot out to Louis.
Louis began to Scrub them,to make sure they were washed.
Later,after they were ready.
The Gang headed over to City Hall.
At City Hall.
They followed Mayor Nettles.
"Scooby,Why do you smell so good?" Shaggy questioned.
"Me and Louis took a Bath," Scooby answered.
"But,Like,You don't take Baths," Shaggy reminded.
"Well,Me and Louis have a Deal now,as long as I get to bathe with him,I don't mind," Scooby said.
"What has become of you?" Shaggy responded.
Mayor Nettles felt like she had to Thank Them.
So she decided to.
"I can't, Thank you all enough for coming back,the Town and I are grateful," Mayor Nettles thanked.
"Speak for Yourself,there,Supposed Mayor," Sheriff Stone added.
"Sheriff,Not this again," Mayor Nettles whispered as she sighed.
"Is there a Problem?" Scooby wondered.
"She's not my Mayor,In the Event of a Mayoral Arrest,The Sheriff,that's me,shall assume the responsibility of Emergency Mayor,It's in the Sheriffing Handbook," Sheriff Stone explained.
"You didn't tell me,you were running for Mayor," Louis stated.
"Ah,Well," Sheriff Stone tried to explain.
"That's because,he's not,It's not in the Handbook,I was elected to this Office by the People,Bronson,That's how Democracy works," Mayor Nettles lashed out angrily.
"Uh Oh," Louis mumbled.
"This could go on for awhile," Scooby commented as he looked at Louis.
"Indeed," Velma agreed.
"Well,That's not how Democracy works in My America," Sheriff Stone responded.
Mayor Nettles rolled her eyes.
Sheriff Stone kneeled next to Louis.
"Are you sure about this?" Sheriff Stone asked.
"I don't know,Part of me, is worried, that it will happen again,but,I have to try,Me,You,and the Town do not deserve to be tortured like this," Louis murmured to him.
"You're right,just be careful," Sheriff Stone requested.
"I will,Thanks for sticking by me when the Gang were not here," Louis replied with a Smile.
"It's what I do," Sheriff Stone responded as he fixed his had and resumed bickering with Mayor Nettles about Democracy.
"I just don't get it,Baylor Hotner doesn't even wear an Ascot," Fred mentioned.
"Pull it together,Fred," Velma ordered.
Mayor Nettles put her Hand on the Knob.
"Ready for what's behind these Doors?" Mayor Nettles wondered as she looked at them.
"Like,If it's the Cafeteria,then,the Answer,is a Big Fat,Yes," Shaggy announced.
"I second that Emotion," Scooby agreed.
Louis shook his head playfully.
Shaggy and Scooby ran to the Doors and pushed them Open.
They stopped Smiling when they found what was behind the Doors.
It was the People of Crystal Cove.
"Not the Buffet I was hoping for,ho,ho," Shaggy whispered to Scooby.
"There they are,here to save us from Crybaby Clown,Three Cheers for Mystery Incorporated," One Man pointed out as he encouraged the others to cheer.
"Hip,Hip,Hurray,Hip,Hip,Hurray,Hip,Hip,Hurray," The People cheered.
Scooby sat Shocked.
While the Rest of the Gang,Stood Proud.
"Is the Town cheering? For us," Scooby mumbled to Velma.
Velma smiled at him.
"They hate us,until,they need us,Typical Adult Herd Mentality," Velma commented to Scooby.
Scooby chuckled as he put his Arm around Velma.
She did not move either.
"Norville, What are you and Scooby doing out of Prison and the Pound,I mean, Military School and the Farm," Paula mentioned.
"Uh,Ha,Ha,Mom,Dad,Ah,Like,they,uh, they let me out early,and,they made me into,uh,a General,Yeah," Shaggy lied.
Scooby and Louis hit each other's Hands on one another's Faces.
They shook their Heads in disapproval.
"What about him?" Paula questioned.
"Oh,Well,Like,Scooby and Louis are Undercover with me,so,We can save the Town,That sounds Plausible,Doesn't it?" Shaggy finished.
"Yeah,Sure," Louis responded.
Though,he liked that Shaggy was trying to cover for him,He did not like, how bad at lying he was.
"Let's, Like,Have some Hoots and some Fist Bumps,People," Shaggy announced.
The People began to Cheer more.
"Hip,Hip,Hurray,Hip,Hip,Hurray," They continued Cheering.
Suddenly,they stopped when they heard a Loud Sound.
Crybaby Clown was Scratching his Nails on the Board.
The People groaned and covered their Ears.
Louis covered Scooby's Ears and Scooby covered Louis's Ears.
He was at the Back of the Crowd.
"You all know me,You know,How I earn a Living,I'm a Bad Clown,Stopping me,It ain't going to be easy,There's no String and a Net to catching me like Mano Tiki Tia or Redbeard's Ghost,This Crybaby Clown will swallow your Town Whole,You want your Tourism back? You're gonna pay me $5 Million,For that,You get the Pacifier,the Rattle,the Whole Darn Clown,So,What's it going to be Me or Mystery Incorporated," Crybaby Clown explained.
The People watched in Horror as he talked.
"Well,It sounds like a Good Deal to me,I'll start passing the Hats,So long,Mystery Goofs," Sheriff Stone agreed.
Louis did a Facepalm.
"Hold on,Clown,This is Our Town," Scooby said as he walked up to him.
"Whoa,That's the Bravest I've ever seen him,Good Job,Scooby," Louis commented as he rolled to his Side and softed Scooby's Head.
Scooby smiled as he did.
"Tha-Tha-That's right,and,We don't need Money to protect it,Although it would be nice,Ow," Shaggy agreed and started to whisper.
Velma quickly elbowed him,for being an Idiot.
"Freddy,I think it's Trappin Time," Velma muttered to him.
"Right,Velma,And I know the Perfect,Guh,the Perfect,uh,I,guh," Fred tried to announced but could not.
"What's wrong?" Mayor Nettles questioned.
"I,My Trapping Knowledge,It's gone,My Mind is,is Empty," Fred notified.
Everyone looked at him with Concern.
Crybaby Clown started Fake Crying again.
"So Tragic,Oh,Well,I offered," Crybaby Clown murmured.
The Doors shut behind the People.
Crybaby Clown turned out the Lights.
People began to Scream.
"This isn't good," Louis responded.
"Times up,Crystal Cove," Crybaby Clown warned.
The People looked around in Panic.
"Somebody get the Lights,Sheriff," Mayor Nettles commanded.
"No way,I'm not leaving my Fatal Position," Sheriff Stone disagreed as he held his Legs to himself and rocked himself as he shook in Fear.
"Hurry,To the Doors," Fred notified as he pointed to them.
The People began to Panic.
They pushed and shove trying to get to them.
The Gang were caught right in the Middle of It.
Scooby had Louis hold onto his Neck,he was going to protect him from the Crowd.
Everyone stopped as they saw who was at the Door.
Crybaby Clown laid on his Side at the Door.
"Sorry,No Exit here," Crybaby Clown added.
He pressed a Button on his Rattler.
It made a Light,on the Top of the Ceiling.
The People looked up.
"Is is is that?" Scooby tried to ask.
"A Dirty Diaper Bomb,Wah,Wah,Wah,This Baby needs Changing," Crybaby Clown finished as he pressed the Button on the Rattler.
Everyone ran to the Door and jumped out.
It exploded, blasting Everyone to the Ground.
Sheriff Stone hid behind his Car with the Mayor by his Side.
"Mystery Incorporated will save the Town? Way to go,Supposed Mayor,I'm keeping the Fifty Cents,I collected," Sheriff Stone complained as he walked off.
Fred hid behind a Pole with Velma by his Side.
"I don't understand it, Why didn't I know what to do? It's like, I've had some sort of Trap-Related Amnesia," Fred stated as he began to freak out.
"It's not just you,Fred,I've been Studying Crybaby Clown for Weeks,and,I have yet,to find a Single Pattern,not one Clue,it's like my Mystery-Solving Skills have Vanished,Shaggy,Scooby,Louis,What about you guys?" Velma explained,then asked Shaggy,Scooby and Louis and turned to them.
Shaggy was against a Wall with Scooby in his Arms.
"Well,Like,I don't feel much different," Shaggy replied.
"Business as Usual,Louis," Scooby answered as he turned to him.
Louis sat in his Wheelchair his Back face towards the Gang
"Louis," Velma called again,trying to get his Attention.
Scooby heard him Sniffle.
He got out of Shaggy's Arms and walked over to him.
"Oh,Louis," Scooby whispered as he sat beside him.
"Louis,We'll get through this," Velma reassured.
"No,no,no,No,We won't,Don't you see? Sheriff Stone is right,We are out of our League,This was a Mistake,We are one Teammate Short,Fred and Velma can't remember a thing,The Town is pretty much against us,It's over,Guys,We should never have come back,We are not the Same People we were back then," Louis shouted as took out his Picture of Mystery Incorporated.
"You still have that Picture?" Scooby asked as he looked at it.
"Yeah,I did,but,Not Anymore," Louis whispered as he let go of the Picture.
The Picture flew off into the Wind.
Louis rolled off.
He needed to Clear his Head.
"Louis,Wait up," Scooby called as He ran after Him.
Louis was at the Sign of Crystal Cove.
He still remembered the First Time,He had met the Gang.
The Day was Sunny,He had waited for them for so long,He began wondering what was taking them so long,the First Moment,He had seen Scooby,He had taken a Liking to him,He had felt like,They were meant to be together or Something.
He broke into the Flashback,of him meeting him.
"Huh, They were supposed to be here an Hour ago,According to the Mayor, I wonder where they are," Louis muttered to himself looking up at the Sign waiting for a Sign,that They had arrived.
Scooby walked up to him.
He saw him looking up at the Sign.
He tapped his Shoulder, the Kid screamed and turned around.
"Oh sorry, You came out of Nowhere, Are you supposed to be the One to show Me around?" Louis wondered.
"Yeah, the Others are over there,Follow Me,uh, What's your Name?" Scooby said.
"Louis, my Name is Louis Parker," Louis answered.
"Well, Louis,Nice to meet ya," Scooby replied.
"Nice to meet you too,Whatever your Name is?" Louis commented.
"Get in Here and We'll show You around, after School," Scooby told Louis as he opened the Back Door for him.
"Oh, Um, How am I going to get my Wheelchair in there?" Louis questioned.
"Don't worry I got ya," Scooby apprised picking Louis up by his Shirt and carrying Him into the Van.
"Sorry, I know my Shirt doesn't Taste very good, and I always feel like a Burden like this,when Someone has to help me," Louis apologized politely.
"No worries, You don't have to apologize,I thought your Shirt tasted Good, besides, I'm used to carrying People," Scooby notified.
Louis remembered when he had helped him in and heard his Name.
Scooby, I like that Name," Louis complemented.
They sure had come a Long Way.
They had come a Long Way since the Beginning.
Louis broke out of the Flashback and looked at the Sign.
Suddenly,he heard a Voice.
"This is where I first met you," Scooby mentioned looking at the Sign beside him.
"Yeah,Yeah,It is,It sure was Easier back then,Easier to be Who We Were," Louis said as he turned to Scooby and,then,back at the Sign.
"It was," Scooby agreed.
"Louis," Scooby called.
"Yes," Louis answered.
"Look,I know we are not the Same People,that We were before,but,We need to help Crystal Cove,They need us," Scooby warned.
"Why should I go back? Give me One Good Reason," Louis ordered.
"Me,For Me,Cause,They are not the Only One who needs you,I need you,I can't live without you,Either,Louis," Scooby informed.
"Scooby,I," Louis tried to say.
"Please,We need to do this,We have to make thing's right,We have to finish this,Yeah, We are not the Same,but,We still have to try,We may be Failing,now,but,We will just Fail,more,Without you,Louis,If there is one thing,I am sure of,It is,You have the Heart of a Warrior,and,Deep in that Heart,It is telling you,You have to help save these Innocent People,You are a Good Boy,Louis,I know you will do the Right Thing," Scooby finished.
Louis looked down at the Ground,the Whole Time,He was talking.
Louis felt something touch him.
Louis looked up at Scooby.
He was there with his Paw on Louis's Shoulder,with a Small Smile across his Face.
Louis nodded.
"You are right,Let's take this Clown down," Louis agreed.
Louis and Scooby joined back with the Others.
When They came back,Velma,Shaggy,and Fred were still there.
Velma looked up at Louis.
"Louis,How you doing?" Velma wondered.
"Better,Let's Trap this Stupid Clown," Louis responded.
Shaggy and Velma agreed.
That was when,Fred said.
"Gang,I think,I know what's wrong," Fred announced.
Once again,They were led back to Daphne.
They were at their House,this time.
Fred knocked on the Door.
"Fred,This isn't a Good Idea," Velma informed from behind him.
"I'm with Velma,I don't know about this," Louis agreed.
Louis and Scooby sat next to Her with Shaggy in the Back.
"Mystery Solving is in Daphne's Blood,Despite, What happened between us,She'll come back,I know it," Fred reassured.
Barty answered the Door.
He opened it.
Fred turned back to the Door and Smiled at Barty.
"Nan,Why is there a Bearded Dirty Wizard at our Door?" Barty questioned, Not taking his Eyes off Fred,for One Minute.
"Mr. Blake,It's me,Fred Jones,It's good to see you,Sir," Fred warned.
"Jones,I heard you were back in Town,You got some Nerve coming here,After,Breaking my Daughter's Heart," Barty responded as he pointed at him with Anger.
Daphne walked to the Door.
"Dad,Who is?" Daphne was about to ask.
That was when,She saw the Same Hobo from the Restaurant.
She gasped in Shock.
Fred smiled at her.
Daphne walked to her Father's Side,By the Door.
"Dad,I'll Handle this," Daphne reassured as she put her Hand on her Dad's Shoulder.
He walked away.
She went to the Middle of the Doorway.
"Fred,You look Furrier," Daphne commented.
Fred was Speechless.
Louis rolled to the Doorstep.
He pushed Fred aside,Slightly.
"Hey Daphne," Louis whispered.
"Louis,It's good to see you again,You look Terrible," Daphne replied as he knelt down in Front of her.
"Yeah,I've been on the Streets," Louis pointed out.
"Oh,Louis,I am so sorry," Daphne apologized as she hugged him.
"It's okay," Louis answered.
Daphne smiled as she got up.
Her Smile faded,When she looked back at Fred.
Louis was happy to see her.
However,He saw her upset with Fred and rolled back.
Fred was about to say something,when Baylor came to the Door.
"Babe,Your Mom and I want to let the Pigs loose,so,We can start the Truffle Hunt,What's going on?" Baylor announced before seeing, Who was at the Door.
Daphne put her Hand on her Cheek.
"Baylor,These are Some Kids I know from School," Daphne muttered to him.
Velma,Scooby,Louis,and Shaggy waved behind Fred.
Fred was Furious as he looked at Baylor with Disgust.
"Good to meet you,School Chums,Here for Autograph,I imagine,No Problem," Baylor guessed as he started to Write One.
While he wrote one,Daphne pushed Fred away.
"Go,You shouldn't have come here," Daphne murmured as she began to push him away from the Door.
"The Gang needs you,Daphne," Fred answered as she pushed him towards the Driveway.
While,He was being pushed away,Shaggy,Scooby, and Velma ran up to the Porch.
"Crystal Cove is in trouble and,without you," Fred continued.
Daphne did not take it.
"I'm through with Mystery Solving," Daphne responded angrily.
"You don't really mean that,Do you?" Fred questioned.
"Yes I do,Fred,I've moved on,I'm Happy now,For the first time,I found Someone, who cares about me,more than Their Traps," Daphne explained as she turned away from him with her Arms crossed.
Fred tried to say something.
Daphne interrupted,again.
"I don't ever want to see you again,Ever," Daphne whispered as she turned away and walked towards the Door.
Baylor had written Autographs for Louis,Scooby,and Velma.
He was writing one for Shaggy,when his Pen ran out of Ink.
"Babe,I'm out of Ink,Do you have a Pen?" Baylor asked.
Daphne pushed him away from the Door.
"Autograph Time is over,They have to be leaving,Goodbye," Daphne lied as she started to close the Door.
Louis stopped the Door from Closing.
Daphne looked to see who stopped it.
"Daphne," Louis called in a Low Voice.
"Louis,It was Good to See You,Okay,but,I have to go,Goodbye," Daphne warned.
Louis moved his Hand out of the way,to allow her to Close it.
She sighed as she was about to Close it,when Louis hugged her.
Daphne smiled as she hugged him back.
They let go and She shut the Door.
Louis hanged his Head down in Disappointment.
He wanted her to come back.
"Well,That was a Bust," Velma stated as she saw her close it.
"She's in," Fred announced.
"What?" The Rest of the Gang questioned in unison.
"What part of No? Means, Yes," Louis added.
"Come on,You bought that? No way,She was obviously,just covering for Baylor Hotner,Daphne's back in the Gang," Fred announced as he did Quote Un Quote when he said,Baylor Hotner.
"Uh," The Gang tried to warn.
"I can already feel my Trapping Mojo returning,Trust me," Fred explained.
"Uh,We don't," Louis and Scooby replied at the Same Time.
The Two were not convinced.
Shaggy and Velma were not sure,either.
Later.
At Dawn of the Doughnuts.
The Trap was Set.
Scooby,Louis,Shaggy,and Velma were still,quite un-sure.
"Uh,Like,Fred, Tell us how this Trap is gonna Work again," Shaggy requested.
"Yeah,Fred,Cause, We want to know,How all this is going to work?" Louis agreed gesturing to the Entire Trap.
"We've set up Our Zombie Donut Shop in the One Part of Crystal Cove Crybaby Clown hasn't hit,the Moment, He attacks,You and Scoob will hurl your Donut Trays,knocking down the Front Door,that will Tip a Bucket of Donut Batter onto the Seesaw,which will Trigger a Water Cannon to spray Superglue,disguised as Jelly Filling,all over Crybaby Clown's Feet,and,Daphne will finish him off,by pulling the Lever that will drop a Giant Donut over his Arm,so,He can't free himself," Fred explained.
"Uh,There is One Part missing from your Plan,Daphne," Louis warned.
"Where is Daphne? By the way,Louis has got a Point," Velma wondered.
"Don't worry,She'll be here," Fred reassured.
Suddenly,they heard an Explosion.
They turned to the Street where,It came from.
It was Crybaby Clown driving and Fake Crying all the way to them.
"Here he comes,Everyone,Places,This is going to get awesome," Fred whispered getting excited as he walked inside.
Velma gave them a Thumbs Up.
Louis began to Roll Inside.
He stopped and faced Scooby.
"Good luck,SD," Louis said as he kissed Scooby's Nose.
He put his Hand on Scooby's Head and Ruffled Scooby's Fur.
A Big Smile crossed Scooby's Face when he did.
"Hey,Like,What about me?" Shaggy complained.
Louis chuckled.
"You too,Shag," Louis added.
As he rolled inside.
Shaggy and Scooby looked at each other and shrugged.
The Two got into Character.
They started to sway back and forth and make Groaning Sounds.
"Donuts,Must Eat Donuts," Scooby ordered as he stayed in Character.
Louis,Velma,and Fred watched from Inside.
Louis and Velma looked at Each other.
"You think? This is gonna work," Louis asked.
"If We're lucky," Velma responded.
The Two looked back to Outside.
"Try our Undead Crullers,They're full of Brains," Shaggy said.
Crybaby Clown jumped out of his Carriage and walked towards them.
Crybaby Clown looked down at them,as he sucked on his Pacifier.
"Wahh,Wahh,My Mommy says,Donuts are bad for you," Crybaby Clown warned.
"No,Donuts good,Just like Brains," Scooby retorted.
Louis did a Facepalm.
He knew Scooby said,The Wrong Thing.
"Are you calling my Mommy a Liar?" Crybaby Clown questioned getting in Scooby's Face.
"Now,Scoob," Shaggy announced.
Shaggy and Scooby threw the Donuts to the Sky.
They went up to the Sky,Over the Sign and into a Bowl.
It made the Front of the Building start to come down.
Shaggy and Scooby clinged to one another as they watched it come down.
When it came down,The Donut Sign got wrapped around Crybaby Clown.
It came back up, Sling-Shotting Crybaby Clown into the Glass-Roof of the Building.
He fell onto a Platform.
After he had fallen onto the Platform,it hit a Stack of Donuts.
Making them tip over like a Bunch of Dominos.
The Last Donut hit a Cloth making an Egg roll down a Slide.
It went into a Latel,which spun the Egg hitting the Baking Soda and the Flour.
The Flour flew through the Air.
Louis and Velma both had Crossbows.
They shot an Arrow in unison,as it hit the Bottom of the Flour,cutting it Open.
The Flour poured all over Crybaby Clown.
More Eggs flew his Way onto him.
The Platform tipped,pouring Crybaby Clown into an Icing Vat.
He was forced out of the Icing Vat and onto a Conveyor Belt.
Fred had a Crossbow as well.
He shot the Arrow at a Barrel.
The Barrel was attached to a Rope it,it sank to the Ground.
It poured the Superglue,all over Crybaby Clown.
Fred watched seeing Crybaby Clown Stuck.
"This is it,Daphne,Release the Donut," Fred commanded.
He looked up at,where Daphne was supposed to be.
Louis saw her not there,he looked at Crybaby Clown,who was starting to escape.
He had to do Something.
"I'll do it," Louis announced as he began to roll over there.
Fred stopped him.
"No,She'll come," Fred insisted.
"Uh,Fred," Louis tried to inform.
"She's coming," Fred shouted.
Louis sighed as he waited.
Crybaby Clown started to nibble out of the Dough.
The Giant Doughnut was over Crybaby Clown's Head.
Shaggy and Scooby watched as it dangled.
Velma stood waiting.
"Daphne,Now," Fred ordered waiting for her to do it.
Crybaby Clown continued eating,starting to free his Arms.
"Fred,She's not coming," Louis notified.
"No,She is,Where is she? Where's Daphne?" Fred wondered as he ran Outside.
He looked around for her.
He saw nothing.
He looked all around him.
The Streets were completely Clear.
He looked back at the Gang.
They all looked back at him,with worry.
That was when,they heard Crybaby Clown's Voice.
"Awww,This makes me think,You don't like me,Wahh,Wahh," Crybaby Clown commented.
The Gang looked up at him.
"That's because,We don't," Louis added.
"Oh,Wahhh,Wahhh,and,By the way,Building your Little Donut Shop Trap,Next to a Firworks Store,might not have been the best Idea," Crybaby Clown warned as he stood on top of the Roof,proudly,with a Explosive Bottle in hand.
"Aw,Snap," Louis muttered.
"Ruh,Roh," Scooby responded.
"See ya soon,Mystery In-Dork-orated," Crybaby Clown stated as he shook it.
Once he was done Speaking,He threw the Bottle in to the Fireworks Shop.
The Gang watched as it flew over to the Shop.
It fell into the Glass Hole in the Roof.
Crybaby Clown faked Cried as he jumped into his Carriage.
He waved at them,as he backed his Carriage out and drove off.
The Gang looked back at the Shop and gasped.
It began to Explode on the Inside.
"Run," Velma shouted.
"But,Daphne," Fred tried to say.
"Isn't coming," Louis interrupted.
Velma pushed Fred away.
Shaggy,Scooby,and Louis rolled and ran away behind them.
Once they got at least a Few Feet away,the Shop exploded up into the Air,blasting them all to the Ground.
It exploded in a Bunch of Fireworks,in the Sky.
The Fireworks,began to hit Multiple Buildings
It,then,all exploded in a Large Explosion.
Crystal Cove was on Fire.
The Gang were all on their Stomachs,Louis landed right onto Scooby.
"Ouch," Scooby yelled.
"You're telling me," Louis whispered.
As the Gang looked at the Destruction from the Ground.
"Well,I think it's safe to say,If the Town didn't hate us before," Velma stated.
"They will now," Louis finished.
"Well,I was going to say,that,this would,Certainly,do the Trick,but,Close Enough," Velma commented.
Fred got up onto his Knees as he looked at the Mess,that was made.
He looked down in disappointment.
He sighed.
Scooby walked up to him.
He noticed how down,Fred was.
"Freddy, Are you okay?" Scooby asked as he put his Paw on Fred's Shoulder.
"No,Scoob,I'm not," Fred answered.
Louis,Velma,and Shaggy walked and rolled up to the Two and joined them.
"Fred,It's my Fault," Louis admitted.
"No,Louis,My Trap Failed, And for the First Time, the Bad Guy got away,It is my Fault,Louis,Not Yours," Fred explained as he looked up at the Burning Crystal Cove.
"We're all Responsible,Fred,We're a Team,Remember," Shaggy reassured as he knelt down and put his Hand on Fred's Other Soldier.
"That's just it,Shaggy,We're not a Team,not without Daphne,And,Now I know,She's never coming back," Fred warned.
"She just might," Louis added.
Louis was trying to make Fred feel better,However,He felt doubt as well.
He could not seem to shake it.
Louis rolled over to the Remaining Parts of Chen's Fireworks.
Scooby noticed him,rolling off.
He seemed to be the Only One noticing him,straying from the Group,cause,Velma and Shaggy sat by Fred's Side.
He walked up to Louis.
Louis picked up the Remaining Part of the Sign and stared into it.
"Doubtful," Scooby guessed as he appeared beside him.
"Yeah,A Little,I mean,We destroyed a Valuable Part of Crystal Cove,It is because of me,I should not have listened to Fred,I should have pulled the Lever anyway,This is all My Fault,Leave me again,If you want to,I deserve it," Louis eludicated.
"No,Louis,I told you,I am not going to leave you,No matter what; I believe that, We can stop Crybaby Clown and,Whatever Other Mysteries come to Us,I know you believe in Us,and,I believe in you,but,You don't believe in yourself,You need to," Scooby said.
"But,Look at Crystal Cove,It is a Mess,All because of him," Louis notified.
"Louis,Shut up," Scooby demanded.
He was trying to get Louis to feel better,but,He kept thinking of things that could go wrong,and,his Doubts and Worries.
He had to say something,so,he could help him.
"What?" Louis questioned in confusion,Scooby had never told him toShut Upbefore.
"You keep putting all of these Worries onto yourself,You can't do that,Louis,You are good enough,without all those,And,That is why I love you,Yes,Crybaby Clown did Explode most of Crystal Cove,but,He did not Explode one thing,We still have One Thing," Scooby informed as he grabbed Louis's Face and made them,Nose to Nose.
"What?" Louis wondered.
"Hope,We have Hope,He can never take that away,but,we can,If we choose to," Scooby answered as he let go of his Face.
Louis smiled at him.
Scooby talked some sense into him.
He had been in a World of Bad, for Months.
He had been forced to see the Bad Side of Things,for so long.
But,now,Scooby was teaching him to see the Good in Things again.
Louis felt so much better,he grabbed Scooby's Face and hugged it.
"Thank you so much," Louis thanked as he hugged him.
"Thanks for What?" Scooby asked muffledly.
"For bringing Hope back into my Life,For Months,I've seen the Bad Side of Things,but,You've gotten me to see the Good in Things,again,That is why," Louis responded as he let go.
"Glad to hear," Scooby replied.
"Oh,I believe you dropped this," Scooby added as he held out the Photo of Mystery Incorporated,that he had thrown away.
Louis smiled as he took it.
"Yeah,Yeah,I did,A Big Mistake I made," Louis stated as he looked back into Crystal Cove.
"We will Finish what We started,Then,We come after Pericles," Scooby announced.
"I'm with You,All the Way,Scooby-Doo," Louis agreed as he leaned his head onto Scooby's Shoulder.
The Two looked at Crystal Cove,as They prepared for,what was next.
