Daphne: Previously on Mystery Incorporated

"Brad Chiles and Judy Reeves," Velma announced,Not Believing Her Eyes as She looked at Them,With Surprise,On Her Face.

"Mom,Dad," Fred responded.

He didn't Know, What to Say.

He had, So Many Questions.

"Have Any of You heard of Sternum and Sternum?" Brad asked,In Curiosity.

"Sure,They're Famous," Fred replied,in Excitement.

"I'm Sorry,I don't know,Who that Is," Louis notified.

"It's about a Husband and Wife, A Team of Trap-Making Mystery Solvers,They invented the Flautnower 8,000," Fred explained.

"Wait,Hold the Phone,You Mean? You're the Sternums," Fred guessed,Instantly,Figuring Out,What They were,Trying to Say.

"We keep Our Identities Private,Because,We're not in It for the Glory,We,Just,Want to help Mankind,By Ridding It of Things,That are Hard to Catch,With Ordinary Traps," Judy answered,Softly.

Brad and Judy walked Out,From Behind a Tree,Looking Around,Suspiciously.

"It would Appear,the Kinder,the New Mystery Incorporated have obtained the Third, And,Now, the Fourth Piece of the Planispheric Disc," Pericles explained,Ignoring Cassidy's Comment.

"No," Judy responded,In Shock and Disappointment.

"Yes,This cannot Continue,Otherwise, Louis and Scooby,Along with Their Other Foolish Friends will Beat Us, And,As Such, I have a Little Proposition for All of You," Pericles eludicated.

Brad and Judy had,Recently come Home,From Work.

They had come Home,With a Couple of Maps.

Of the Town of Crystal Cove.

Brad and Judy,Now,Sat on the Couch.

Leaning over It.

As the Happy Couple leaned,While,On the Couch,as They looked at the Maps.

That,They had Stolen from Crystal Cove.

Suddenly.

Cassidy walked Out of the Shadows into the Living Room.

She watched Them,Look at the Maps as She walked In.

"Is This a Good Time to Talk?" Cassidy mentioned,Firmly as She walked into the Living Room,Up to Them.

The Moment,Brad heard Cassidy's Voice.

Brad covered the Maps,With His Arms.

Preventing Her from Seeing,What They were Doing.

The Two didn't Really Trust Her Much.

Brad and Judy looked Up at Cassidy.

Cassidy stood There,With Her Hands on Her Hips.

As a Frown was on her Face.

Judy Smiled,Wickedly as She looked at Cassidy.

"And,I'm Begging You,To Think of Freddy,To Really,Put Him First," Cassidy pleaded.

"Mm Hm,And,Why do We have to do That?" Judy wondered as She Snarled at Cassidy's Plead.

"Please,Think of Him,For Once,Stop Thinking about That Treasure,That Stupid Treasure,It's Cursed Our Whole Lives,Ruined Everything,And,I Mean,Everything,That,We Ever Were," Cassidy explained as She Clenched Her Fists,As She Just Talked about the Treasure.

"And,I began my Search for the Planispheric Disc,Sadly,I found Nothing,Until,Mystery Incorporated walked,Into the Library,Seeking Advice,They had No Idea,What They'd Found,Well,That wasn't True,Actually,Their Mascot knew What,For Access to My Knowledge,Pericles was,Willing to betray His Friends,We concocted a Scheme,To Blackmail the Kids into Leaving Town,By Threatening Them,With Fabricated Documents,Implicating Their Parents in Various Crimes," Mayor Jones explained,Firmly.

"Nobody has to get Hurt,Williams,As Long,As You Stay Out of Our Way," Brad threatened,Attempting to put Cassidy in her Place.

"We've been Kind,For OId Time Sake," Judy commented,Continuing Brad's Sentence,as She Smiled.

But,The Smile,Quickly,Faded.

"But,Don't Push It," Judy finished as She Frowned and Glared at Cassidy.

"Now,I know,You Kids,Don't,Exactly,Trust Me,But,E and Me are the Only Ones,In This Town,That have Dealt,With This Freak Cat Before,Well,Besides,Tanya," She Explained,as She whispered Something,Under Her Breath.

"Wait,What?" Louis responded.

"Oops,Nothing," Angel lied.

"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 commanded as He crossed His Arms,Angrily.

Angel Sighed.

"Okay,I'll sum It Up,Your Grandmother,was Our Sixth Member,She,Just like You,Had a Close Relationship with the Animal," She Started,In a Disappointed Tone.

"My Grandmother was Part of the Original Mystery Incorporated," Louis responded,In Shock.

"That Explains,Why,She didn't like Us,Let Alone,Trust Us,At First,She was a Part of the Original Mystery Incorporated," Velma said,Starting to Make Sense,Of Why,Tanya had been,Like That..

"Looks like Your Grandmother has Secrets of Her Own," Daphne added,Quietly.

"However,Her Relationship,With Pericles was,More than Platonic,It,It was Romantic," Angel continued.

"What?" The Gang answered,In Unison.

"My,My Grandmother,She,She was,With Pericles,They were Husband and Wife?" Louis questioned,Coming to A Lot of Realizations.

"No,Boyfriend and Girlfriend,They announced It to Us,Last Minute," Angel informed.

"I can't believe,Louis's Grandmother,was in love with Pericles," Fred repeated.

"Like,What happened to Them? How did They grow Apart? Why did She leave Town?" Shaggy wondered,Asking Angel Multiple Questions,Trying to Answer..

"She,Along with Pericles,Were the Ones,Who betrayed Us,I can't tell You,The Rest,She would have to tell You," Angel finished.

"Mr. E wants,He wants You to Help Him,To work with Him," Marcie warned.

"Now,Before You Decline,Listen,He Said,He'll try to Make Things Up to You,He Said,He Knows,He has messed Up with You,But,He wants to Try,He,Even Said,That,He would Answer Some of Your Questions about,About Your Heritage,Secrets,That,Your Grandmother never told You," Hot Dog Water explained.

"Marce,Look,As Much as I want Answers about my Family and Heritage,I,I,I'm not going to Work with Mr. E,He is the Wrong Person to be With,And,He tried to kill Me,He sent Armies of Bounty Hunters to try to kill Me and My Grand Mother,And,That is not Okay,He is One of the Main People,Not to Trust,In This Whole War with the Planispheric Disc and the Haunted Treasure,I already have Friends,And,I'm on Their Side," Louis eludicated,Calmly,But,Still Angry on the Inside.

"You were his Plan B,He called, You a Tool," Hot Dog Water mentioned as She sat on the Bench,Not Moving.

"What?" Louis asked as He turned is Wheelchair around,In Curiosity.

He looked at Hot Dog Water.

"He mentioned,That,He knew the Parker Family,That,All of your Family had Their Time,When They were a Tool,And,Now,It is Time for Yours," Hot Dog Water explained.

Louis sat Speechless.

He noticed,Louis,Sitting by His Side.

Looking Through a Batch of Papers,Paying No Attention to the Movie.

"I am Watching It," Louis lied,Not,Even,Glancing at Scooby,Staying Completely Focused,On his Papers.

He saw Louis,Being Pretty Enthralled in the Papers,Just Looking,Through Them,Anxiously.

Those Papers were,Quite Important to Him,At the Moment.

After All,They were Helping Him,In his Investigation.

Scooby and Louis were,There,In his Grandmother's Old Room.

Louis was,At Her Desk,Looking Through Her Papers,That,She had,Lying Around.

While,Scooby was,In an Old Safe,Of Pretty Old Papers,Dating Back to,About 24 Years Ago.

Around the Time,Before the Old Mystery Incorporated Disappeared.

"So,Why are We Here,Exactly?" Scooby asked Louis,In Suspicion,as He sat,On the Bed,Looking Through the Old Papers.

Louis heard his Question,And,Completely Panicked.

"Oh,Well,We're,Uh,Here for Things about My Family,I,I have a School Project coming Up,And,I decided to do It,On My Family,Can't do the Project,Without Learning Some Really Personal Things," Louis lied as He Smiled,Nervously,And,Scratched the Back of his Neck.

Scooby raised an Eyebrow as He looked at Louis.

Silently,Telling Him,You Expect Me to believe That?

The Truth was,Louis was Here,Looking for Any Sign of Proof,That,His Grandmother,Or,Any of his Other Family Members worked for Mr. E.

He had been,Investigating This,Ever Since,He heard,What Hot Dog Water Said,About his Family.

But,He didn't want to tell Scooby,That.

Cause,He wasn't So Sure,He'd Understand.

However.

He,Only,Brought Him Along,Cause,He knew,He couldn't search the Whole House,By Himself.

And,Truthfully,He was a Little Scared,So,He didn't want to be Out,Alone.

"Louis,What aren't You telling Me?" Scooby questioned as He stared at Louis,With his Eyebrow Raised.

"What? Not telling You,What would make You Think,That,I was hiding Something?" Louis responded,Nervously,as He looked Around,The Room,Looking for Anything to Change the Conversation to.

"Uh,Huh,Alright,Come Clean,What is It?" Scooby ordered, as He crossed his Arms,Knowing,That,He was hiding Something,And,Not Letting It Slide to the Back Burner.

Louis gulped,as He started to Sweat,From How Nervous He was.

Now,What was He gonna Say to Him?

He,Clearly,Wasn't going to buy Another Lie.

He needed to come Up,With Something.

And,Quick.

"Like,I'm Bummed,Because,There's all This Free Chow,And,My Best Chowing Buddy's more Interested in Some Female,Than,Doing a Smack Down on the Cheese Buffet," Shaggy explained as He stayed,Looking Upset.

"No,Not Really,I am,Perfectly Happy,That,Scooby has Somebody,I think,He deserves It," Louis stated.

"Well,I am Not," Shaggy pointed out.

Louis and Velma looked at Each Other.

They Shook Their Heads at One Another.

They knew,Shaggy was a Little too Obsessed with Scooby.

"That's not very Nice," Louis notified.

"Like,You're any Better,Making Me lose My Best Friend," Shaggy murmured.

Louis turned to Shaggy,Hearing It.

Why was Shaggy being All Mad about That?

Louis asked Himself.

Shaggy turned to the Direction of the Scream.

He saw,It was Louis.

He Huffed.

"Ha,Like,Serves Him Right,For Ruining Me and Scooby's Friendship," Shaggy murmured as He Smiled,Seeing Louis,On the Floor,In Pain.

Shaggy's Smile,Quickly Faded,When He saw Scooby,Standing over Him,And,Them,Face to Face.

"Great,So,Now,Scooby pays,More Attention to Him,Than Me,Well Played,Brat," Shaggy complained as He saw Scooby,Standing over Louis.

"And,Where have You Two Been?" Shaggy questioned,In Anger.

"Surviving the Attack," Louis stated,Firmly.

"I've been with Louis,He was Hurt," Scooby pointed Out.

"I'm,Like,Sure He was,Louis,Probably,Forced You to Come Over There," Shaggy mumbled,Angrily.

"Like,What is your Plan Here Exactly? Cause,It seems Pretty Lame," Shaggy pointed out as He crossed his Arms.

"For Your Information,It isn't Lame,Now,That we have Both Victims,Present,And,Accounted For,We can Gather the Clues,That,We know,So Far,And,Look for a Connection,This should Help Us,Figure Out More,Of,What We're doing with," Louis retorted,Angrily.

"Yeah,Shaggy,It isn't Lame,So,Shh," Scooby added as He Commanded Shaggy to Shush.

Shaggy Frowned,In Irritation.

Shaggy Smiled as Scooby softed his Head.

He was Glad,To,Actually get Attention.

Louis Chuckled as He saw the Way,Scooby was Comforting Shaggy.

Shaggy's Smile Faded.

The Minute,Shaggy heard Louis's Chuckle.

What was He Chuckling about?

Shaggy asked Himself.

Suspiciously,Wondering,What Louis was Chuckling About.

"Thanks Scooby," Shaggy thanked.

"You're Welcome,Shaggy," Scooby replied.

"And,What were You Chuckling About?" Shaggy questioned,Angrily,At Louis.

"What? Am I not Allowed to Chuckle?" Louis wondered,Suspiciously.

"No,No,You're Not Allowed to Chuckle,Cause,You could be Chuckling about Something Mean,Or,You could,Like,Be Mocking Me,Secretly," Shaggy stated.

"Dude,What the Heck,It's Nothing,Like That,I was,Just Laughing,Cause of the Way Scooby was Comforting You," Louis informed,Firmly.

He did not Know,What was Up with His Friend,Shaggy.

Why was He,All of a Sudden,Acting like This?

Maybe,He could Ask Him about It.

He was Sure,Shaggy would tell Him.

They were Friends,After All.

Shaggy Smiled,Confidently.

He thought,Scooby was going to be Mad at Louis.

And,Then,He could,Go Back to Hanging with Him.

Just Him,And,Him Alone.

This was going to be the Best Part,He thought.

However,Shaggy was about to be,Sorely,Disappointed.

"Like,What?" Shaggy answered,Surprised to Hear,That,Scooby was,Not Mad at Him.

Shaggy mimicked Them as He heard Their Talk.

He Despised It.

And,He was,Still,Pretty Mad about Louis helping Scooby with the Nova Thing.

There was One Thing,He knew,For Sure.

That,This wasn't Over.

His Hate for Louis was,Just Beginning.

Scooby and Shaggy clinged to Each Other,As They heard It.

"Like,I don't think,That,Was the Movie," Shaggy stated.

"Yeah,Me Neither," Scooby agreed as He let go of Shaggy.

And,Clinged to Louis,as He Chattered his Teeth and Shook.

"I think,It's Coming,From behind the Screen," Louis added,as He looked at the Screen,With Interest as Scooby clinged to Him

"You've got to be Kidding," Shaggy murmured,In Irritation as He saw,Scooby cling to Him,Instead.

Since Scooby wasn't There.

Shaggy fell,Right,Onto the Ground.

Louis heard,the Large Thud.

And,Turned to Shaggy,In Concern.

"Shag,You Okay?" Louis asked,In Concern.

"Just Fine," Shaggy answered,In Anger,as He Frowned.

Shaggy was,So Frightened.

That,He,Completely,Went All Out.

He,Quickly,Picked Up Louis,Put Him,In his Wheelchair.

And,Pushed Him Out,As He ran,With Him.

Saving Them Both.

"I don't have a Doubt,With your Strong Muscles," Louis complemented.

"Yep,That's Me," Scooby bragged,Playfully.

Shaggy rolled his Eyes,as He heard Them.

Shaggy turned to Louis and Scooby.

And,Saw Them Both,Happy,Enjoying Each Other's Company as Louis softed Scooby's Head.

Shaggy lowered his Head,In Sadness,as He looked at It.

He missed,That.

A Lot.

"Uh,Guys,I See,That,This House is Interesting,To You Two,But,I don't think,That,This has Anything to do with the Mystery," Louis informed,Trying to Stay on Task.

"Like,What would You Know?" Shaggy questioned,Lashing Out at Louis,Angrily.

"Hey,Shag,I never got a Chance,To Thank You for Saving My Life,At the Movie Night," Louis added,Mentioning It,So,He could,Thank Him.

"Look,Louis,You don't have to," Shaggy started to Say,Before Louis Interrupted,So,He could Finish.

"So,Thank You," Louis thanked,Nicely,as He hugged Shaggy's Arm.

Shaggy turned to Him,And,Smiled.

"No Problem," Shaggy answered,In a Happy Tone,as He hugged Louis Back.

Yeah,He,Still,Was Mad at Louis,But,For Now,He was,Just,Gonna Let It Go.

After All,Louis was,Actually,Thanking Him.

"They seem Fine to Me," Louis muttered to Fred,With an Annoyed Look on his Face.

"Me Too," Scooby agreed as He leaned,On Louis.

Shaggy rolled his Eyes,In Annoyance,as He listened to Them.

"Uh,T.M.I," Louis murmured,In a Disgusted Tone,Not Really,Wanting to hear That.

"Oh,Like,You'll be Fine," Shaggy pointed Out,Angrily.

Louis was,About to Say Something.

So,He could Ask,What the Heck,Was Wrong with Him,Getting Tired of All This Insulting,That,He had been doing to Him,The Past Few Weeks.

He'd come to the Point,Where,He was,Now,Getting Mad at Him.

Louis was about to Ask Him.

When Scooby Interrupted Him.

Scooby Panted,Heavily,as He sat Down,In Louis's Lap.

"Yikes,It's,Hot Out Here," Scooby mentioned,as He sat,In Louis's Lap,Starting to Sweat.

Louis and Shaggy turned Away,From Each Other,And,Didn't Say a Word.

"Louis,Look Out," Scooby informed,Seeing the Trailer,Fly,Towards Him.

Louis turned to the Trailer,That was Flying,Directly,At Him.

Louis Screamed as He tried to Duck.

However.

It was,In Vain.

Cause,The Trailer,Still,Got Him.

As It flew,By Him,the Bumper of the Trailer,Hit Him,Right,In the Cheek,Knocking Him to the Ground.

"Louis," Shaggy,Scooby and Velma,All,Called Out,At Once.

While,Scooby and Louis were talking,Shaggy was,Filling a Baggie,With a Bunch of Ice,From the Cooler,That,He had brought,With Them.

He watched Scooby hug Him,Tightly,as He Smiled,Slightly.

They're Relationship was a Little Cute,Shaggy thought,as He looked at Them.

Shaggy turned to the Bag of Ice,That,He had been Filling.

It was Full.

"Perfect," Shaggy murmured as He saw,That,The Bag was Full.

Shaggy stood Up,And,Walked Over to Louis,To give It to Him.

"Here You Go,L," Shaggy offered as He held the Bag of Ice,To Louis's Cheek,Trying to help Him.

"Awwww,Shag,That feels Good," Louis stated,Letting Out a Sigh of Relief,as He felt,How Good the Ice felt,On his Cheek.

"It should,Like,It'll help your Jaw and Cheek feel a Little Better," Shaggy replied,Happily,as He held the Ice Bag,To Louis's Cheek.

"Well,It,Definitely Works," Louis warned,Contentedly,Glad,That,His Hurting Cheek and Jaw were,Starting to feel Better.

"Like,I'm,Uh,Sorry,For What Happened to You,Earlier," Shaggy mentioned,Apologizing,For What had Happened to Him.

"Shag,It's,It's Okay," Louis reassured,Trying to Reassure,Shaggy,That,He didn't have to be Sorry, as He Smiled,Slightly,From How Nice,Shaggy was being.

He liked Him,Like This.

He,Actually,Kind Of,Missed Him,When He Cared.

Louis wanted to be Close Friends,Again.

And,Maybe,One Day,They could.

But,First,Shaggy had to Forgive Him,For Whatever He did Wrong.

That was the Thing,That,Louis was,Still,Wondering.

What did He do Wrong?

"No,Seriously,You didn't deserve That," Shaggy Said,Trying to Eludicate,On,How Much,He Cared,About Him

Louis was,About to Say,"Thanks."

Suddenly.

In the Shadows of the Broken Apart Ship.

Something Watched Them,Drive Away.

It was Captain Fernando El Aguirre.

He watched Them,Drive Off,From,Inside the Ship.

"Nibiru," Aguirre murmured as He watched Them,Drive Away.

Inside the Mystery Machine.

Louis shot Up,Strangely,Hearing,Exactly,What Aguirre had,Just Said.

Louis turned to the Back Window of the Mystery Machine,as He saw El Aguirre,Standing There,In the Ship,Staring,Directly at Him.

Louis looked at Fernando El Aguirre,With Widened Eyes.

All of a Sudden.

A Paw touched Louis's Shoulder.

Louis turned to the Paw,Quickly,In Fear.

Revealing It to be.

Just,Little Old Scooby.

"It's Okay,It's,Just Me,You Good?" Scooby wondered,Getting More and More Concerned,For His Friend,By the Moment.

Louis Smiled,Slightly,as He put his Hand,On Scooby's Paw,And Said.

"Yeah,Yeah,I'm Good," Louis lied,as He turned Back to the Mystery Machine Window.

After Saying That,And,While He was Staring at Louis,Aguirre broke Out,Into Laughter.

As He laughed,Wickedly,A Double Voice began to be Heard,Like,Two Things were Laughing.

While He was Laughing,Aguirre began to Fade Away,Slowly.

Aguirre continued to Laugh as His Skin,Came Off of his Body,Showing Only Glowing Bones.

And,Still,He continued to Laugh,Like,He wasn't,Even Feeling It.

Just Then.

Aguirre started to Fade,From Existence,His Body started to Disappear,Into a Puff of Glowing Blue Fog,As He,Still,Laughed.

Aguirre Laughed,Wickedly,Over and Over,Until,He Disappeared,Suddenly,Into the Puff of Blue Fog.

Disappearing from the Ship,Entirely,as the Ship faded Away,With Him,Making the Entire Thing Disappear,Like,It Never Happened.

Like,A Broom to Someone's Foot Prints.

But,The Only Question was.

Was to Who's?

Present Day.

At Lover's Lane.

On a Hill,Over Crystal Cove.

A Car sat,Parked at the Edge of the Hill.

Dylan and Brenda sat,In the Car,Looking Over Crystal Cove,In Silence.

That was,Until,Brenda broke the Silence.

"Dylan,We've been,Through So Much,Together,Monster Attacks,Physical and Emotional Trauma,Intensive Care,And,Now,That,It's All Over,We can,Finally be Together," Brenda explained,Softly,as She intertwined Her and Dylan's Fingers,Before putting Her Other Hand,On His Hand.

"I Know,Brenda,I Know," Dylan replied,Quietly,as He looked at Her,Plainly.

"But,Should We be Together? Oh,Dylan,I'm Scared," Brenda questioned,In Worry,as She told Him,How Scared She Was.

"I was Scared,Too,Babe,Of Losing You,And,Of being Attacked by a Monster,But,Mostly of Losing You," Dylan Said,as He turned to Her,And,Tell Her,How He felt,Intertwining Their Fingers,In Both Their Hands.

Brenda listened,Carefully,as She looked at Him,Closely.

"Oh,Dylan,Kiss Me," Brenda requested,as She puckered Up,Ready for a Kiss.

"Let's do This,I'm,Finally gonna Rock This Kiss," Dylan ordered,Getting Excited for the Kiss,as He puckered Up,As Well.

As They Both,Slowly,Leaned Into the Kiss.

Suddenly.

A Hammer came Out of Nowhere,And,Hammered the Front of Dylan's Car.

Dylan and Brenda Gasped,In Surprise as They heard and Felt the Hammer,Hammer the Car.

Both of Them turned to the Direction of the Hammer as They watched the Person,Lift the Hammer,Out of the Front of the Car.

But,It wasn't a Person.

It was a Ghoul of Some Sort.

A Ghoul dressed,In Pilgrim Clothes.

The Ghoul lifted the Hammer,Over his Head,as He began to Talk.

"For your Mis-Deeds,You have been Judged," The Ghoul Shouted Out,as He held the Hammer,Over his Head,About to Hammer Them.

"Oh,Come On,I,I,Just got Out of the Hospital,From the Last Monster,What are You,Brenda,Some Kind Of,Monster Dividing Rod?" Dylan lashed Out,Angrily,as He asked Her,What She Was,Getting Really Tired of Getting Injured.

"No,Dylan,I'm," Brenda tried to Say.

But,Before She could Finish.

Dylan Interrupted Her.

"Look,Sorry,Babe,It's been Real,Real Weird," Dylan mentioned as He opened the Car Door,And,Took Off,Leaving Brenda,Behind,While,Telling Her,Out Loud,How He Really Felt.

Brenda watched as She saw Him,Ditch Her,And,Take Off.

"Dylan," Brenda called Out,In a Fearful Voice.

The Ghoul walked to Brenda's Side of the Car.

"He shall be Judged,For his Cowardice,But,First,You shall be Judged," The Ghoul warned,as He Shouted,Once Again,While,Lifting the Hammer,About to Attack Her.

As He Talked,Brenda shook,In Fear,as She listened to Him Talk.

That was When.

A Soccer Ball hit the Ghoul,Right in the Face,as the Ball bounced Off his Face,And,Rolled Back to,Who threw It.

The Person put Their Foot on It,Stopping It,From going Any Further.

Revealing the Person to be...

Gary.

He stood There,With Confidence,Ready to Attack Him,Once More.

"Yo,Thanksgiving Guy,Judge This," Gary announced,Pointing to the Ghoul,as He kicked the Soccer Ball,Again,Towards Him.

The Ball hit the Ghoul,Right in the Stomach,Hitting Him Hard.

The Ghoul Grunted as He felt It.

The Ghoul Growled as He lifted his Hammer,Once Again,About to Hammer Brenda.

Gary,Quickly,Ran to the Car,And,Knelt Down,On the Front Seat.

Gary picked Brenda Up,In his Arms,And,Carried Her,Out of the Car,Before the Hammer hit could Her.

The Hammer hammered the Seat,Missing Her.

The Ghoul lifted the Hammer as He hammered the Car,Again,To make Sure,It was Destroyed.

The Ghoul jumped,Onto the Crushed Car,About to Attack,Again.

Gary saw the Ghoul,Jump on the Car,as Gary turned the Other Way,And,Started to Run Away,With Brenda,In his Arms.

The Ghoul jumped,Into the Air,Holding the Hammer,Over his Head,To Hammer Him.

Gary took Off,Running,Making the Ghoul miss Them,Both.

The Ghoul Snarled,Seeing Them,Running Away,as He ran,After Them,Trying to Catch Them.

Gary set Brenda Down,Easily,as He grabbed Her Hand,And,Continued to Run Away.

"Come On,We gotta Hurry," Gary ordered,Hurriedly,as He held Her Hand,Pulling Her Away,To Safety.

"I'm Trying," Brenda replied,With Fear in Her Voice,as She let Him pull Her,Towards Somewhere Safe.

The Ghoul continued to Run,After Them,as He,Slowly,Started to Catch Up to Them.

"Follow Me,We'll be Safe,In the Forest," Gary requested,Firmly,as He led Brenda,Into the Forest.

The Ghoul caught Up to Them,Quickly,as He lifted the Hammer,And,Attempted to Hammer Brenda,Once Again.

Gary pulled Brenda,Into the Forest,Towards Cover,Making the Ghoul Miss,And,Hammer One of the Trees,From Behind Brenda and Gary.

The Ghoul Growled,In Frustration,Seeing,That,He Missed,as He chased,After the Two,To Try and Attack Her.

As They continued to Run,Through the Forest,Gary,Instantly,Picked Brenda Up,In his Arms,To Help Her.

The Ghoul caught Up to Them,as He raised his Hammer,From Closely Behind Them.

The Ghoul Swinged the Hammer at Gary's Head,To Try and Stop Him.

Gary,Swiftly Ducked,Dodging the Hammer,as He raised his Head,Back Up,While,Continuing to Carry Brenda,In his Arms,Towards Safety.

The Ghoul raised the Hammer,Once More,as He prepared to Hit Gary's Head.

The Ghoul Swinged at Gary's Head.

As the Ghoul was,About to hit Gary,Gary lowered his Head,Moving his Head,Out of the Way,Of the Hammer,Making the Ghoul miss his Head,Again.

The Ghoul Snarled as He saw,That,He had missed,Once Again.

Gary,Seeing How Angry,The Ghoul was Getting,Started to Pick Up the Pace,Putting Some Distance,Between the Ghoul and Them.

Gary looked Back,At the Ghoul,Trying to Make Sure,That,The Ghoul wasn't So Close.

As Gary was looking Back,Brenda clinged to Him,Tightly,Just Wanting to Survive,The Attack.

Which It Seemed,They were going To.

However.

Since Gary was Paying,Too Much Attention to Behind Him,Instead Of,In Front of Him,Gary and Brenda Tripped Over a Cliff.

That had,Suddenly,Come Up.

While,He was Looking at the Ghoul.

Gary and Brenda Screamed as They rolled Down the Slope of the Cliff.

"Hang On,Brenda," Gary Shouted,In a Confident Tone,as He held Her,In His Arms,Shielding Her,While,They continued to Roll Down.

Gary and Brenda continued to Tumble Down the Cliff,as They Rolled and Rolled,Before,Reaching the End of the Slope,And,Rolling Off of It,Falling,Right onto the Ground,Below the Cliff.

When They fell,Onto the Ground,Gary fell First,Onto It,Before Brenda fell,Right on Top of Him,Straight Afterwards.

Gary and Brenda Groaned as They lifted Their Heads,And,Looked Up,At the Edge of the Cliff,To Check on the Ghoul.

Up,At the Edge of the Cliff,The Ghoul Stood,Staring Down at Them.

The Ghoul Roared,In Irritation,as He saw,That,They had Escaped.

Gary picked Brenda Up,In his Arms,Once Again,as He took Off Running,Once More,To Make Sure,That,She was Safe.

As Gary was Carrying Her,And,Running towards Safety,Brenda turned to Him,With a Bright Smile.

"You Saved Me,Oh,Thank You," Brenda stated,Happily,as She thanked Him,While,Cradling His Face.

"Eh,No Biggie," Gary replied,Plainly,as He continued to Run to Safety,With Brenda in his Arms.

Back Up on the Cliff's Edge.

The Ghoul stood There,Proudly,Before,Pointing His Hammer,To All of Crystal Cove,as He began to Speak.

"All shall be Judged,And,All shall be Punished,By Hebediah Grim," Hebediah Threatened,Furiously,as He pointed to All of Crystal Cove,While,He Spoke.

Making Sure,That,All of Crystal Cove would Know,That,He was Coming for Them.

The Next Day.

At Crystal Cove High School.

Everyone was,On Their Way to Class,Most with Their Hands,Full of Books.

Louis sat,In his Wheelchair,At his Locker.

He was,Taking his School Books,Out of His Locker.

So,He could take Them to Class.

Louis had,Just Finished Gathering All of his Books,From his Locker.

Louis had Them,Stacked Up,On his Lap.

Louis shut the Door,To his Locker,Revealing Scooby,To be Right There,Next to Him,Leaning Against the Locker Next to Louis's.

"So,How did You Sleep,Last Night?" Scooby mentioned,In Curiosity,as He stood There,Leaning Against the Locker,With a Raised Eyebrow.

"Eh,Could have Slept Better," Louis answered,Plainly,as He Shrugged his Shoulders,Getting Pretty Used to It,By Now.

"I Figured,I felt You Gone,From the Bed,By 6:00 AM,Anything You need to tell Me?" Scooby informed,In a Playful Tone,Crossing his Arms,With a Smile,Still,On his Face,as He moved his Face,Closer to Louis's.

Louis Sighed,In Disappointment as He heard That.

That wasn't Really,What He was Aiming For.

"This is Why,Sometimes,Me Sleeping With You,Sucks," Louis complained.as He crossed his Arms,And,Moved his Face,Closer to Scooby's,As Well.

"Yeah,Cause,I Notice,You Gone,Every Time,It's a Lot Less Warm,When You're not There," Scooby responded,Playfully,Adding the Last Part,On Purpose,as He raised his Eyebrows, Confidently, While,The Two stood and Sat There,Face to Face.

"I'm not,Even,Really That Warm,You're the Soft,Warm Fuzzy Blanket,Not Me," Louis Pointed Out,Happily,Reminding Scooby,That,He was the Warm Furry One,Not Him.

"True," Scooby agreed,Agreeing with Louis's Statement,While,Giving Louis a Confident Smile,as They were Face to Face.

The Two were So Close,They were,Even Nose to Nose.

"Well,Well,Here You Two are,In School,And,Talking about Sleeping Together,Can You Two get Any Weirder?" Velma announced,as She and Shaggy,Walked Past the Two of Them,Over to Her Locker,While,Adding Her Opinion.

As Shaggy walked Past,Louis and Scooby,He Murmured Something to Louis.

But,Louis couldn't Understand It,Cause,He couldn't read Lips.

Louis and Scooby shook Their Heads,Playfully,as They turned to Her,And,Began to Speak.

"Hey,It's not like,Everyone Else in School,Doesn't talk about It," Louis retorted,Firmly,Pointing Out the Lapse in Logic,With Her Complaining to Them,About Talking,About the Same Thing,While,Completely Ignoring Shaggy's Mouthing,For the Moment,To Answer Velma.

"Uh,Except,They're talking,About an Entirely Different Type of Sleeping Together," Scooby notified,Softly.

"Yep,Unfortunately,They're Version of Sleeping Together is,Way More than,Just Sleeping in the Same Bed," Louis stated,In Disgust.

"Blech,Boy,Am I Glad,That,We don't do That," Scooby commented,Being,All Too Glad,That,They would Never be Mates.

Just Thinking about It,Disgusted Scooby Out.

Louis didn't like It,Either.

"Well,Yeah,Cause,We're not a Couple," Louis replied,With a Weirded Out Look on his Face,as He leaned,On his Locker,Sitting,Right Next to Scooby,While,Looking at Him,From the Corner of his Eye.

"You Guys are Almost as Close,As One,Though," Velma added,Firmly,as She took Her Books,Out of Her Locker,And,Into her Hand,While,She talked.

Louis and Scooby Frowned,In Unison,When They heard That.

They hated,When People pointed,That Out.

"You Two are,Practically like,Friends with Benefits," Velma said,Plainly,as She took the Last of Her Books,Out of Her Locker,And,Shut It.

Louis and Scooby stuck Out Their Tongues,With Disgust,When They heard Her say That.

They hated,Friends with Benefits.

As a Matter of Fact,They were,Quite Disturbed,With the Whole Friends with Benefits Idea.

That was When.

Louis's Sight began to Blur,All of Sudden.

Louis saw the Sight of the School,And,His Friends,Start to Blur,As He began to feel like,He was going to Pass Out.

However.

Louis,Just,Shook It Off,And,Strangely,The Feeling went Away.

Louis's Days were Becoming,More and More Strange.

It was,Like,Ever Since,The Mount Diabla Mystery,Where He saw the Ghost of Aguirre,He had been having Issues with his Sight,Constantly,Getting the Feeling,That,He was going to Pass Out,And,Heard his Name,Multiple Times,During the Night.

Not to Mention,The Nightmares,That,He had been Getting.

It was like,He hadn't been the Same,Since Then.

He was Beginning to Wonder,If He had Actually Seen the Ghost,For Real,And,It wasn't,Just his Imagination.

Suddenly.

Shaggy,Velma,Scooby and Louis heard Talking,as They turned to the Direction of the Talking.

It was Fred and Daphne.

They were heading Their Way,While,Having a Disagreement.

"Fred,No,I'm,Just Not Ready to Go on a Date with You,Yet," Daphne lashed Out,Angrily,From Close Behind the Three,as She Walked Over to Louis,Scooby,Shaggy and Velma,With Her Books in Hand.

Daphne Walked towards the Other Four,To join Up with Them,Not Really wanting to be Alone with Fred,Anymore.

Louis,Scooby,Shaggy and Velma turned to Daphne and Fred,Hearing Daphne lashing Out,as They stopped Talking,To Listen to Daphne and Fred's Conversation.

Fred Scoffed at the Idea,Trying to Act like,He wasn't Attempting to Ask Her Out,On a Date.

"Date,Who Said Date? I,I didn't Say Date," Fred stuttered,Nervously,as He tried to Make Her Think,That,He wasn't doing It.

Louis and Scooby shook Their Heads,In Disapproval,as They heard the Two's Ridiculous Conversation.

"I Said,Practice Date,Big Difference," Fred rephrased,Saying,What He had,Supposedly,Said,Still,Trying to get Her Approval,as He followed Her,While,He talked.

Daphne Sighed,In Frustration,as She stopped Walking,Standing by the Rest of the Gang's Side.

Velma and Shaggy,Now,Looked at Something Else,With Weirded Out Looks.

"Ew,What The?" Louis responded,Seeing What Velma and Shaggy were Seeing,And,Finding It,Totally Disgusting.

Scooby turned to,What the Other Three were Looking At,as He saw,What They were Seeing.

Scooby's Ears raised Up,In Surprise,as He saw,The Something,That,They were Looking At.

"Yikes,Don't Look,Louis," Scooby commanded,In Alarm,Seeing What the Other Two were looking at,as He,Quickly Grabbed Louis's Face,And,Pushed his Face,Into his Chest,So,Louis couldn't See,What They were Seeing.

Even,Though,He had Already Seen It.

"Um,Scoob,What are You doing?" Louis asked,In a Muffled Voice,as He spoke,While,His Face was in Scooby's Chest.

"Well,As Your Guardian,I am,Trying to Guard your Eyes," Scooby informed,In a Serious Tone,Trying to show,Louis,That,He was Serious.

By the Time,Daphne had,Joined the Rest of Them,The Three were Already Looking at the Something.

Daphne turned to,What the Rest of the Gang were Looking At,Wondering What They were Staring At,as She watched It,In Disgust.

Fred looked,Along With Daphne,To See It,As Well.

Knowing,Exactly,What He was Seeing.

Two People Were Kissing,Right in the Middle of the Hall,And,They were doing It,For Quite a Long Time.

"See,Daphne,If We Practice like Brenda and Dylan,We could be,As Good at Dating,As They Are,They're Regular Pros," Fred explained,Happily,And,Calmly,Still,Trying to get Her,To say Yes.

Daphne rolled Her Eyes,as She continued to hear Fred.

That was When.

The Two People decided to Stop Kissing,Showing Their Faces,as They Smiled Each Other.

Revealing the People to be,Brenda and...

"Gary," Fred called Out,In Surprise,as He saw,That,Him and Brenda were Kissing,And,Not Brenda and Dylan.

Fred squeezed,Between Shaggy and Velma,Walking Over to Gary and Brenda,To get an Explanation.

The Gang shook Their Heads,In Unison,as They followed Fred,Over to Gary and Brenda.

They couldn't Wait to hear This.

"Brenda,What's going On? Where's Dylan?" Fred interrogated,With Confusion,as Walked Over to Gary and Brenda.

Brenda stood,In Front of Gary,With Her Hand on his Chest,as She turned to Fred,Hearing her Name.

Brenda Snorted as She heard Fred's Question.

She turned Around,And,Put Her Hands,On Her Hips,as She began to Explain.

"Dylan did This to Himself,Fred,When He ran Off,And,Left Me in Danger," Brenda pointed Out,Angrily,as She crossed her Arms,When She Finished.

"Yeah,This Huge Pilgrim Dude was at Lover's Lane,Last Night,Judging and Attacking People with a Giant Hammer,I was,Jogging by with My Soccer Ball,So,I took Him Out,Two Kicks,Me,Kicking the Ball,And,Me kicking the Ball,Again," Gary explained,Confidently,as He got Excited,Just by Explaining to Them,How Awesome He was.

"He was So Brave,I can't believe,I wasted My Time,On a Boy,Like Dylan,When I could have been,With a Man,Like Gary," Brenda eludicated,Happily,Complementing Him,as She put Her Arms,Around Gary's Neck,And,Kissed his Forehead,Repeatedly.

"Gary has a Girlfriend?" Fred wondered,Still,Quite Confused,With What was Going On.

"Wow,What's Wrong with This Picture?" Velma commented,as She watched Brenda,Continue to Kiss Gary's Forehead,Repeatedly.

"Uh,Scooby,I think,It's Over," Louis warned,In a Muffled Voice,With his Face,Still,In Scooby's Chest,as He tried to Push his Face,Out of his Chest,Though,Not Working.

"Oh,Right,Sorry," Scooby replied,Realizing,That He had Louis's Face,Still,Buried in his Chest,as He apologized and,Let Go of Louis's Face.

Louis took his Face,Out of Scooby's Chest,So,He could Finally Breathe.

Louis let Out a Large Breath,Outwardly,As Loud as He could,Finally being able to Breathe,Again.

"Man,Your Chest can be Quite Smothering," Louis stated,as He continued to Catch his Breath,Panting Really Heavily.

"Sorry,Here,Let Me Help," Scooby offered as He put his Lips,On Louis's Lips,And,Started to Blow Air,Into Him.

Velma turned to Them,Hearing the Loud Breathing,as She saw Scooby blowing Air,Into Louis.

As Velma looked at It,She stuck her Tongue Out,In Disgust.

"Ew,Like I Said,Friends with Benefits," Velma murmured,To Herself,as She turned Away,In Disgust.

Scooby continued to Blow Air,Into Him,To Make Sure,He had Enough.

Shaggy looked at the Two,Seeing Them have Lips on Lips,And,Immediately,Understood,What was going On.

"There,Better?" Scooby asked,In Curiosity,as He stopped,Blowing Air,Into Him.

"Yeah,That's Better," Louis answered,Feeling Much Better,as He started to taste the Air,That,Scooby had,Just given Him.

"Good," Scooby Said,Softly.

"Though,I think,I'm gonna have the Taste of Dog Breath,In My Mouth,For a Little While," Louis added,Playfully.

Scooby Chuckled,Slightly,as He heard Louis's Comment.

At the Same Time.

Fred was,Still,Staring at Brenda kissing Gary,With Surprise on his Face.

"Gang," Fred called.

The Rest of the Gang turned to Him,as They heard Him Call.

"This might,Just be the Biggest Mystery,We've Ever Faced," Fred announced,as He put on his Serious Face.

Later.

After School.

The Gang,Now,Were at Fred's House.

Doing Some Investigating.

Well,Some of Them,At Least.

Others were,Just doing Their Own Thing.

Velma and Fred were the Only Ones,Investigating.

Velma sat,On the Couch,With Her Computer on Her Lap,as She Researched,What She Could,At the Moment.

Fred was,Looking Over Her Shoulder,as He and Velma stared at the Computer.

Daphne sat,On the Recliner,Just Sitting There,Not Doing Anything,as She thought About,What Gary had Said.

While,Scooby and Shaggy were,Pacing Around the Room,With Upset Looks on Their Faces.

As For Louis,He was,Pretty Much,Just Watching Scooby Pace Around the Room,as Scooby started to Whimper,While,He Paced.

He watched Scooby,Pace Around the Room,With a Weirded Out Look,On his Face,Wondering Why,Scooby was Pacing,So Much.

"Are You Okay?" Louis asked,In Concern,as He watched Scooby Pace,Back and Forth,While,Whimpering.

Scooby stopped Pacing,Back and Forth,And,Turned to Louis,With a Sad Face,And,With his Ears Lowered.

"I'm Really Hungry,And,I haven't had Something to Eat,Since This Morning," Scooby warned,as He looked at Louis,With the Lowered Ears,And,The Sad Face.

"Don't Worry,SD,I'm Sure,That,There is Some Snacks,Around Here,Somewhere," Louis reassured,Softly,as He softed Scooby's Head,While,Reassuring Him.

Scooby Whimpered,With Disappointment,Still,Quite Starving,as He laid his Head,On Louis's Leg,While,Continuing to Whimper.

Louis looked Down at his Buddy,With a Sad Face,Seeing How Sad,Scooby Looked,as He Started to Feel,Kind Of,Bad for Him.

Louis Smiled,Slightly,as He took a Candy Bar,Out of his Pocket,And,Opened It.

While,Louis was Opening the Candy Bar,Scooby laid There,On his Leg,Still,Upset,Not Knowing,What his Buddy was Up To.

Louis tapped Scooby's Head,Slightly,To get his Friend's Attention.

Scooby looked Up,At Louis,Wondering,What He needed Him For,With the Same Sad Face,Still On.

Louis lowered the Candy Bar to Scooby's Mouth,So,He could Eat It.

Scooby Gasped,In Excitement,as He saw It.

He licked his Lips,Finding It More and More,Delicious,The More,He stared at It.

Scooby opened his Mouth,And,Took a Bite Out of the Bar,Quickly,Chewing the Bar Up,In his Mouth.

Louis Smiled as He watched Scooby,Gobble Up the Bar,Glad to See,His Friend Happy,Once Again.

Of Course,Louis knew,That,That wouldn't be Enough for his Pal.

But,He knew,That,It would be Enough,At Least for the Time Being.

And,That was Good Enough,For Him.

"Poor Dylan,He lost Brenda and his Car,In the Same Night," Daphne stated,Feeling Bad for What Happened to Dylan,In the Previous Night,as She sat,On the Couch,With a Sad Look on Her Face.

"Poor Dylan?" Shaggy repeated,With Confusion,Ridiculed by What He was Hearing,Hearing Her Feel Bad for Dylan,While,He felt Bad for Himself and Scooby.

"Poor Us,It's Snack Time," Shaggy continued,With Disappointment,Still,Waiting for Their Snacks,For the Hour,as He reminded Them,That,They were Waiting.

"Come On,Guys,We've been Waiting,For,Like,Ever,So,Like,Where are the Snacks,Huh?" Shaggy shouted,Getting Quite Upset,That,He wasn't,Seeing Any Snacks.

Fred,Hearing All the Commotion,That,Shaggy was Making,Decided to Step In,To inform Them of his Mistake.

"Sorry,Guys,I forgot to pick Something Up,Can You Skip the Snacks,Today?" Fred informed,Calmly,Before Requesting Them,Nicely,To Skip the Snacks for the Day.

Scooby heard That,And,Immediately,Got Angry.

"Skip Snacks? You take That,Back,Right Now," Scooby commanded,Furiously,as He repeated,What Fred Said,Not Believing,What He had,Just Heard,Before,Ordering Him to take the Request Back,Immediately.

"Whoa,Whoa,Scooby,It's Okay,Calm Down" Louis reassured,Softly,Trying to Calm Scooby Down,As Fast as Possible,Before,Things got Out of Control,as He softed Scooby's Head,While,Trying to calm Him Down.

Scooby took Deep Breaths,In and Out,as He tried to Calm Down.

"Wrong Thing,To Say,Fred," Louis whispered to Fred,With a Raised Eyebrow,Warning Him,That,He Said,The Wrong Thing,as He continued to Try,And,Calm Scooby Down.

Once Again,Shaggy Mouthed Something,To Louis,Trying to Deliver Something,That,Had been on his Mind,Since,One of Their Recent Mysteries.

But,Louis,Still,Couldn't Hear Him.

Louis was,About to Request for Shaggy to Speak Up,But,He was,Quickly,Interrupted,By Brad and Judy.

"Hey,Kids,Did," Brad announced as He walked,Into the Room,With a Small Cart of Snacks,Starting a Sentence.

"Someone say Snack Time?" Judy finished,Proudly,as She stood Next to Him,Helping Him Roll the Cart,Over to the Gang.

"Thanks,Judy," Brad thanked.

"You're Welcome,Brad," Judy replied,Happily.

Louis shook his Head,Playfully,as He heard,What Brad and Judy Said.

Shaggy saw Brad and Judy,Walk into the Living Room with a Cart,Full of Snacks,as He Jumped with Joy,Glad to Finally See Some Snacks.

"Whoo,Hoo,Like,Snack Jackpot," Shaggy cheered,Shouting to the Top of his Lungs,With Excitement,as He gestured to the Whole Cart of Snacks,When He said,Snack Jackpot.

"Snack-a-Mania,I'm in Heaven," Scooby added,Looking at the Cart,With Interest,While Drooling,as His Head,Laid on Louis's Leg,Wanting to Go Over There.

Scooby turned to Louis,Asking for Louis's Permission to Go Over There,While,Continuing to Drool,From,How Much He wanted to Eat.

Louis nodded,Silently,In Agreement,Giving Him the A-Okay to Go,And,Dig In.

Scooby licked his Lips as He zoomed,Over to Shaggy's Side.

Scooby and Shaggy,Both grabbed Handfuls of the Snacks,And,Stuffed Them into Their Mouths.

As The Two were shoving,Some of the Snacks,Into Their Mouths,the Rest of the Gang walked and rolled,Over to the Snack Table,To Eat Some of the Snacks,Too.

Daphne,Louis,Velma and Fred,Each took One,And,Slowly,Began to Chew It,In Their Mouths,Unlike the Other Two,Who were Scarfing It Down.

"Mm," Fred murmured as He chewed the Snack,That,He was Eating.

Louis Chuckled,Slightly,While Eating It,as He turned to Scooby,And,Messed Up the Fur on his Head,While,He Ate.

"Mm,My Parents would love This Caterer," Daphne mentioned.

"Glad to Hear," Judy replied,Softly.

"So,Is It Elite Treats or the Foodie Fellows?" Daphne wondered,In Curiosity,as She chewed a Small Meatball,While,Smiling at Them.

"Actually,Daphne,We whipped This Up Ourselves," Brad informed,Happily,as He Smiled at Daphne.

"We sure did,Brad," Judy stated.

Louis rolled his Eyes,Playfully,When He heard That.

The Two,Always Saying Their Names,After Every Sentence,Kind of got Annoying,At Times.

"Since,We don't have to Work,We have Nothing,But,Free Time,All Thanks to the Royalties,From Our Trap Patents," Judy explained.

"Right,You are,Judy,That,And,Of Course,Our Semi-Auto-Biographical Television Show,Based on Our Glamorous Trapping Lifestyle," Brad agreed,Lifting a Finger,While,Agreeing with Judy's Statement,as He explained,Where Else,They were getting All the Money From.

"Oh,Wow,I love That Show,Here,Look,I have the Whole Theme Song,Downloaded on my Phone," Fred cheered,Adoring the Show,as He lifted his Phone,And,Played the Show's Theme Song,On It.

The Gang gathered Around,as They looked at his Phone,And,Watched Him play the Video.

In the Video

A Large Purple Plane lifted Off the Ground and took Off.

Inside the Plane.

All the Way,In the Back of the Plane sat a Average Middle Aged Man.

The Man sat There,In his Seat,With a Smile on his Face.

As One of the Characters began to Narrate.

"This Guy,Here's,My Employer,Mr. Sternum,A Self-Made Trap Gazillionaire," The Character Narrated.

As The Character continued to Narrate,The Man in the Back of the Plane,Now,Sat in a Million Dollar Car,With a Smile,On his Face.

Back in the Plane.

The Character began to Narrate,Again,as the Screen Showed the Next Character,Sitting Next to the Man.

"This Lady,Here,is Mrs. S,She's an Absolute Knockout," The Character announced as the Screen showed a Small Young Woman,Putting on Makeup,Beside her Husband.

Before showing Her,Driving her Million Dollar Car,On the Same Road as Her Husband.

"That,Handsome Guy,There,is Me,My Name is Thraxy,I watch Out for the Both of Them,Which is a Really Tough Job,Cause,When They got Together,It was Trappin Time," The Narrator,Thraxy Said as Both of the Cars drove Side by Side.

Mr and Mrs. Sternum looked at Each Other,And,Smiled,as They drove Side by Side,Into the Screen,Before a Large Bear Trap clamped on the Screen,Revealing the Title of the Show,"Sternum to Sternum."

The Clip of the Opening Titles Ended as Fred put his Phone,Back in his Pocket.

"Of Course,It has Something to do," Louis complained,Quietly.

"With Traps," Daphne finished,Quietly,as She rolled her Eyes,While,Finishing Louis's Sentence.

"Wow,The Show looks Cool," Velma lied,Putting on a Fake Smile,Trying to show Them,That,She liked It.

When She,Really didn't.

Shaggy and Scooby nodded,Profusely,Trying to make Them believe,That,They liked It,Too.

"Yep,Trapping has been Very Kind to Us," Brad stated as He put,Some of the Fruit,From the Fruit Bowl,Into the Blender,Before putting the Lid on It.

"You said It,Brad," Judy agreed,as She stuffed,Some Fruit into the Blender,Too.

As Both Brad and Judy filled It,To the Max,And,Put Their Lids On,At the Same Time.

"And,We'd love to share Our Good Fortune to," Judy started,Offering Their Help.

"Help You with your Latest Mystery," Brad continued,as Both Him and Judy offered Their Services to the Gang.

"Son," Judy finished,Softly.

"Thanks,We can handle It," Fred thanked,Before Rejecting Their Offer,Happily.

"You Sure? All You need to catch a Puritan Menace is a Foxhole Surprise," Judy explained,Trying to make Sure,That,He didn't need Their Help.

"Or,Better Yet,A Barn Roof Gambit,Augmented by a Double Night Warbler," Brad suggested,as He made Sure,That,The Lid to the Blender was On,Before Starting It.

"Really,Those Sound Great,But,Uh," Fred tried to Say,Before Judy and Brad,Just started Their Blenders,While,He was talking,Not Knowing,That,He was Speaking.

"Uh,Fred,I don't think,They can hear You," Louis notified,Starting to Raise his Voice,So,Fred could hear Him.

"I can't hear Him," Scooby added,as He covered his Ears,From the Loud Blending Noise.

However.

Fred,Still,Couldn't hear Him,Either.

"Thanks,But,I think,We can handle It," Fred shouted,Trying to get Them,To hear Him.

But,They,Still Couldn't Hear.

Fred Growled as He started to get Irritated.

"I Said,We can do It Ourselves," Fred Yelled Out,as Loud as He Could,To get Them to hear.

What Fred didn't Know was,That,Brad and Judy had turned Off Their Blenders,At That Exact Moment,He Started.

So,To Them,It looked like,He was lashing Out at Them.

Judy Gasped as She grasped Her Chest,Tightly.

By the Time,Fred had Stopped,He had Already yelled at Them

"Of Course," Brad replied,In a Hurt Tone.

"Ooh," Fred murmured,Realizing,That,The Blenders were Off.

"Sorry,Just Trying to Help," Brad apologized,as He looked at Fred,From the Corner of his Eye.

"Don't make It Worse,Brad," Judy requested,Softly,

"But,I," Brad tried to Shoot Back.

"No,Don't," Judy commanded,In a Sad Tone,as She lifted her Hand,And,Put It on His Shoulder.

"But,Uh," Brad tried to Shout,as He pointed his Finger at Fred,Before Judy stopped Him,Again.

"Don't,N-No," Judy interrupted as She lowered his Finger,And,Started to Walk Away.

Brad lowered his Head as He followed,After Her.

As They Both left the Gang,To do Their Stuff.

While,The Two were Walking Away,The Gang watched,Feeling Quite Bad for Them.

"Well,That could have gone Better," Louis commented.

"That was Rude,Fred,They were reaching Out to You,And,You pushed Them Away," Daphne warned,With Her Hands on her Hips as She glared at Fred,While,She Spoke.

She did not agree,With How He had,Just Handled Things,At All.

"It wasn't Me,It was the Smoothies," Fred pointed Out,Angrily,as He gestured to the Movies.

"Like,Don't Blame the Smoothies,Man," Shaggy demanded,Furiously.

"Yeah,Smoothies deserve Better," Scooby said,as He,Also,Glared at Fred.

"Okay,Everyone needs to Calm Down," Louis ordered,Trying to prevent Them,From getting into a Fight.

Fred and Shaggy Frowned as They turned Away,From Each Other.

While,Scooby,Completely Ignored Him.

He was Too Busy,Loving on the Smoothies.

"It's Okay,I love You,I,Really Do,Do,Do," Scooby whispered to the Smoothie,as He Nuzzled It,While,Complementing It.

Shaggy Chuckled as Him and Louis watched Scooby,Nuzzle the Blender.

"Pfft,Looks like,Scooby likes the Blender,More than You,Louis," Shaggy commented,To Louis,as He began to Laugh,From his Own Joke.

Louis glared at Shaggy,With a Ridiculed Face,Telling Him,That,He didn't find It,Very Funny.

Shaggy turned to Louis,And,Saw his Glare,as He,Immediately,Stopped Laughing.

Scooby Opened the Blender,And,Picked It Up,In his Paws,as He began to Scarf It Down.

And,He didn't Stop,Until,It was All Gone.

As He licked his Lips,Right Afterwards.

Velma and Shaggy looked at Each Other,With Weirded Out Looks,as They watched Him,Scarf Down the Shake.

"Really," Louis complained,Finding Out,Just Now,That,Scooby wasn't Listening,Before,When He had been Talking,as He had his Hands,On his Hips,While,Glaring at Him.

Scooby Chuckled,Sheepishly,as He gave Louis,A Fake Smile,Trying to tell Him,That,He was Listening,Before.

But,Louis didn't take It.

He,Just,Stayed There,Looking at Him,While,Shaking his Head.

That Night.

At Lover's Lane.

Two Cars were Parked at the Edge of the Hilltop,Just like Dylan and Brenda.

Two Teenagers sat in One Car.

And,Sheriff Stone and Mayor Nettles sat,In the Other.

In Sheriff Stone's Car.

Sheriff Stone sat,In the Front Seat,Looking,Through his Binoculars,In Silence.

While,Mayor Nettles sat,In the Passenger Seat,Smiling at Sheriff Stone as She looked at Him.

"Why did You bring Me on a Stakeout?" Mayor Nettles asked,In Curiosity,as She smiled at Him.

Sheriff Stone,Immediately,Panicked,And,Looked for a Good Excuse.

"Mayor Ride-Alongs are Good Publicity,It's in the Sheriff Handbook," Sheriff Stone lied,As He lowered the Binoculars,From his Eyes,For a Minute,Before putting Them,Back On,Afterwards.

"Oh,Is It?" Mayor Nettles murmured,In Disbelief.

"Yep," Sheriff Stone replied.

"Yeah,Well,What about the Music and Candles? Is That Standard Stakeout Protocol?" Mayor Nettles questioned,Suspiciously,as She scooted Closer,To Sheriff Stone.

"Yes,Yes,It is,You've got a Lot to Learn,About Stakeouts,Lady," Sheriff Stone pointed Out,Firmly,Trying to get Her to believe It,as He put his Finger,In Her Face.

"Well,Maybe,You should teach Me,Then,Bronson Stone," Mayor Nettles added,as She grabbed Sheriff Stone's Tie,And,Smiled at Him.

"Maybe,I will,Sharon Nettles," Sheriff Stone replied,Happily,About to do Something.Mayor Nettles's Smile Disappeared as She Glared at Him,While,Groaning,Angrily.

"Your First Name isn't Sharon,Is It?" Sheriff Stone guessed,In Curiosity.

"Janet," Mayor Nettles corrected as She let Go of his Tie,And,Scooted Away from Him.

That was When.

From Out of Nowhere.

Scooby walked Up to the Car Window,On Janet's Side.

"Ah,A Picnic Basket,Told You,I was going the Right Way,Louis," Scooby stated as He walked Up to the Car Window,And,Stared at the Picnic Basket.

"Huh,It seems,You were Right,Sorry,I doubted You," Louis responded,Happily,Realizing his Mistake,As He softed Scooby's Head,While,Apologizing.

Scooby Smiled,Smugly,Really Enjoying the Attention.

"So,Would Now be a Good Time to Ask about,What's been going On about You?" Scooby mentioned.

"Uh,No," Louis retorted,Firmly.

All of a Sudden.

From the Other Side.

Daphne and Shaggy walked Up to Sheriff Stone's Car Window.

Daphne bent Down,To See,Both Sheriff Stone and Mayor Nettles in the Same Car.

"Sheriff Stone,Mayor Nettles,What are You doing Here?" Daphne wondered,In Confusion,Surprised to See,The Two Together.

"We're on a Stakeout," Sheriff Stone answered,Firmly,Not Wanting the Gang,There.

"In a Patrol Car?" Velma added,From Janet's Side,as She,Now,Stood,Bending Down,Beside Scooby and Louis,Not Believing Sheriff Stone's Statement.

"Yes,Now,Move Along,Nothing to See,Here," Sheriff Stone commanded,Furiously,Trying to get the Gang to Leave,So,Him and Mayor Nettles could do,What They wanted to Do.

While,Sheriff Stone and Most of the Gang were Talking.

Louis's Hearing,Suddenly,Went Muffled.

"Wha-?" Louis was about to Say,Before He heard Something Else.

He heard his Name.

"Louis," A Voice Called,Quietly.

Louis turned Around,To Look for,Whatever was Calling his Voice.

But,He saw Nothing.

Just the Blank Forest.

"Louis," The Voice called Out,Again.

Someone or Something was,Clearly,Calling his Name,He knew It,For Sure.

He could hear the Voice,Perfectly,But,He couldn't hear Anything Else,Just Ringing,And,The Voice.

Suddenly.

A Spotted Paw put It's Hand,On Louis's Shoulder.

Louis Gasped as He felt It.

Louis turned Around,Immediately,In Alarm,To See,Who It Was.

But,The Spotted Paw was Gone.

A Brown Paw was,Now Resting,On his Shoulder.

One That Looked,Quite Familiar to Him.

The Minute,Louis had turned Around,He ended Up Face to Face,With his Best Friend.

"Scooby," Louis announced,In Surprise,as He saw his Best Friend,Now,In Front of Him,And,The Spotted Paw Gone.

"You Okay? You look like,You've seen a Ghost," Scooby pointed Out,In Concern,Wanting to make Sure,Louis was Okay,as He pointed Out,How Spooked He Looked.

"Yeah,I'm Fine,Just Looking at the View,That's All," Louis lied,Not Wanting to bring Scooby,Into This,as He Rolled Back,Over to Janet's Window,Trying to Focus on the Mystery,And,Keep Scooby in the Dark,As Much as Possible.

Scooby,Already had Enough to Worry About,He didn't need,Worrying about Louis,To be Added to That List.

Besides,He didn't Know,If This Thing was Dangerous,Or Not.

He wasn't gonna take Any Chances.

At the Same Time.

In the Car,Next to Sheriff Stones's.

The Two Teenagers,Inside,Started to Hear Scooby,Louis and the Gang's Squabble with Sheriff Stone,And,Decided to Complain,From All the Racket,They were Hearing.

The Male leaned,Over his Girlfriend's Seat,So,He could Shout,Out the Window.

"Hey," The Male Teenager Yelled,From his and his Girlfriend's Car.

Once the Gang,Sheriff Stone and Mayor Nettles heard Him,They turned to the Direction of the Shouting,In Unison.

"How are We,Supposed to Make,Incredibly Bad and Stupid Decisions,That will Wreck the Rest of Our Lives,Over Here,With All That Noise?" The Guy Shouted,Wanting Them to be Quiet,So,Him and his Girlfriend could Do,Some Other Things,as He had his Arm,Around his Girlfriend's Shoulder.

"Quiet,Long Hair," Sheriff Stone demanded,Angrily,as He stuck his Hand Out,To point at the Hippy.

Just Then.

A Large Hammer came Out of Nowhere,And,Hammered Sheriff Stone's Side of the Patrol Car.

It was Hebediah Grim.

He stood,In Front of Sheriff Stone's Car,With his Hammer in Hand.

Shaggy and Daphne Screamed,Seeing Hebediah Grim,Standing in Front of Them,as They Backed Away,From Him.

"What in the Name of Scooby Snacks is That?" Scooby asked,With a Big Gulp,Wondering,What,Exactly,They were Looking At.

"I'm Guessing,Our Mystery," Louis replied,Fearfully,as He hid,Behind Velma.

"For Your Painted Faces,And,Clothes,That Rise,Above the Ankle,And,Fall below the Neck,You Three Womenfolk shall be Judged," Hebediah Grim declared,While,Pointing to Daphne,Mayor Nettles and the Guy's Girlfriend as He Explained,What They were Doing Wrong,Before,Raising his Finger,When He Said,That,They were going to be Judged.

The Three Girls Gasped as They looked at Themselves,In Confusion,Not Seeing It to be Wrong.

"Three,What about Me?" Velma wondered,In Confusion,Wondering Why,He didn't say Her,as She put Her Hands,On Her Hips.

"Uh,Vel,Does It Really Matter?" Louis questioned,as He looked Up at Her,While,He was talking to Her.

"Be Silent,Small One," Hebediah lashed Out,Angrily,as He hit Louis,With his Hammer,Hammering Louis to the Ground.

"Louis," Shaggy and Daphne called Out,Seeing Him,Fall to the Floor.

Hebediah turned to Velma,And,Approached Her.

"You shall be Spared,You are a Model of Purity,Plain,Wholesome,And,Un-Tempting," Hebediah eludicated,Gently,as He turned Away,From Her,With Dis-Interest.

"Ouch," Scooby muttered to Him,Finding,What Hebediah,Just Said,Kind Of,Cruel

The Male Teenager burst into Laughter,When He heard,What Hebediah had Said.

"Ha,Ha,LOL,Burn," He instigated,as He continued to Laugh at Velma.

Hebediah and Velma turned to Him,Hearing his Laughter.

Hebediah Growled as He ran,Over to the Two Teenagers.

The Teenager's Smile,Quickly Faded,When He saw Hebediah,Running towards Him.

Hebediah Roared as He raised his Hammer,And,Hammered,In Between the Teenager,And,His Girlfriend,Breaking Them,Apart from Each Other.

The Two Teenagers sat Speechless,Frozen,In the Car,With Fear,Not Knowing,What to Do.

While,Hebediah was Focusing on Them,The Others were gonna take Their Chance,To get Out of There,Before,It was Too Late.

"Quick,Save the Mayor," Sheriff Stone commanded,as He tried to get Himself Out,Through his Broken Window,And,Bent Door,While,Panicking.

"Will Do,Come On,Your Honor," Fred replied,as He opened the Crushed Car Door,For Mayor Nettles,And,Requested Her to follow Him and Velma.

Mayor Nettles,Quickly,Stepped Out.

And,As Quickly,As Mayor Nettles stepped Out,Hebediah hammered Mayor Nettles's Door,Just,Barely,Missing Her.

"Now,Follow Us," Velma ordered as Her and Fred took Off,Running towards the Mystery Machine,With Mayor Nettles and Shaggy following Close,Behind Them.

Scooby was,About to Follow Them,When He saw,Louis laying,On the Floor.

"Louis," Scooby called Out as He ran,Over to Help Him.

"Ow,Well,That Hurt," Louis muttered to Himself,as He tried to sit Himself Up.

"You Okay?" Scooby asked,In Concern,as He picked Him Up,In his Arms.

"I am,Now," Louis replied,Happily,as He Smiled at Scooby,While,He carried Him.

Hebediah turned to Louis and Scooby,Seeing Them.

Hebediah lifted his Hammer,And,Prepared to Throw It.

"You shall be Judged," Hebediah announced,as He was,About to Throw his Hammer.

"Uh,Scooby,You might wanna Run," Louis warned,Seeing Hebediah,About to Attack.

Scooby turned to Hebediah,Seeing Him,Ready to Throw his Hammer.

"Yikes," Scooby shouted as He moved his Little Two Feet,And ran,Towards the Mystery Machine,Away from Hebediah,With the Others.

Hebediah Growled in Frustration as He watched Louis and Scooby,Get into the Mystery Machine,Getting Out of his Reach,

Hebediah turned Around,Seeing Daphne,Still There,Thinking,He could Hammer Her,Instead.

Daphne Gasped as She saw Him,Looking at Her.

Hebediah Roared as He came at Daphne,With his Hammer Raised.

Daphne Screamed as She dodged,The Coming Hammer,And,Ran into the Mystery Machine's Front Seat,To Safety.

Hebediah turned Back,To the Guy's Girlfriend.

She had,Just,Fallen Out of the Car,Onto the Ground.

Hebediah Roared,Once More,as He Raised his Hammer,To Hammer Her.

The Girl Gasped and Screamed as She covered Her Head,Waiting for the Hammer to hit Her.

Suddenly.

Gary came Running towards Hebediah Grim,With his Soccer Ball,as He kicked It,Right into Hebediah's Face.

Hebediah Grunted as the Hit,From the Soccer Ball,Pushed Him to the Ground.

Gary,Quickly,Gathered the Girl,In his Arms,And,Ran towards the Mystery Machine,As Well.

Fred started the Mystery Machine, as the Mystery Machine shot Up the Road,starting to Drive Away from the Ghoul.

Fred made a Sharp Turn,Onto the Road,as He tried to get Off Lover's Lane,As Fast as He Could.

In the Mystery Machine.

"Out of Curiosity,What haven't You been telling Me?" Scooby mentioned,Wanting to Know,What had been going on with Louis,Since,Before the Mount Diabla Mystery.

"Scoob,You've got Terrible Timing," Louis informed,Firmly.

"Oh,Right," Scooby whispered,To Himself,Realizing,That,This was the Wrong Time for Questions.

"Oh,Where is He,Did We lose Him,Guys?" Fred interrogated,In Concern,as He looked Around,For Any Sight of Hebediah Grim.

Fred looked,Behind Him,Where Shaggy,Scooby,Velma and Louis were,Waiting for Their Answer.

"Like,Not Quite," Shaggy said,Fearfully.

"Like,Not at All," Scooby corrected as He pointed,In Front of Them.

Fred turned Back,To the Road.

And,Right There stood Hebediah Grim,With his Hammer,In the Air,About to Attack.

The Gang and Mayor Nettles,All Screamed in Unison,as They saw,Hebediah Grim,Right There,Ready to kill Them.

"You shall be Judged," Hebediah Grim declared,While,He stood,In the Middle of the Road,About to Hammer,The Mystery Machine,as It drove,Towards Him.

Hebediah got Ready to Swing,The Hammer,Into Them as It came Closer.

"Hang On,Gang," Fred ordered as He turned the Steering Wheel,To the Right

The Gang,Still,Screamed,All at Once,Thinking,They were gonna Die,as the Mystery Machine made a Hard Right,Right When,They were Super Close,To Hebediah.

The Mystery Machine made the Hard Right,Forcing the Van,Off the Road,And,Down a Bumpy Hill,While,Just,Barely Missing,Getting Hit by Hebediah Grim.

Hebediah's Hammer missed,And,Hit a Tree,Instead.

Hebediah Growled,In Irritation as He saw the Gang,Roll Down the Hill,Away from Him.

The Mystery Machine drove Down,The Very Steep Hill,As the Gang Screamed and Screamed,The Whole Way.

The Mystery Machine drove Down,Towards a Coming Cliff.

"Fred,CLIFF!!!" Louis yelled,To the Top of his Lungs,Seeing the Cliff,Coming Fast.

"UH OH!!!" Scooby cried Out as He,Jumped into Louis's Arms,And,Covered his Eyes.

"Hang On,Gang,I'm,About to make Another Hard Turn," Fred notified,as He turned the Steering Wheel,To a Hard Left,Making the Whole Mystery Machine make a Hard Left,Just When,The Cliff had Come.

The Mystery Machine made the,Extremely Hard Turn,But,It started to,Teeter Off to the Side of the Cliff,While,It was Turning.

The Gang continued to Scream as They felt,Themselves,Leaning onto the One Side,While,The Turn Continued.

They got a Close Up Look at the Bottom of the Cliff,From How Close,They were.

The Mystery,Barely,Made the Hard Turn,as It made the Turn,Away from the Cliff,But,Towards the Forest.

The Gang started to Go,Downhill,Uphill,Towards the Forest.

Daphne and Mayor Nettles put Their Hands,On Their Cheeks as They continued to Scream.

Shaggy,Scooby and Louis,All Three clinged to Each Other,While,They were,Continuously Screaming.

And,Velma,Just Screamed to the Top of Her Lungs,as She saw,How Close to the End of the Forest was Coming.

But,They All,Instantly,Stopped Screaming,When They started Hearing,Extra Screams.

They All Stopped,And,Turned to Behind Them,Where the Girl and Gary sat,as They,Also,Stopped Screaming.

"Gary,How did You get Here?" Daphne wondered,In Confusion,as Her and Mayor Nettles stared at Them.

"Yeah,I don't Remember You,Being Invited," Louis added,Angrily,as He Frowned,While,Him and Scooby clinged to Shaggy.

"Well,I was,Jogging By,When,That,Turkey Day Loser Attacked,So,I saved Cheryl," Gary explained,Calmly.

"Like,How Considerate of You," Shaggy commented,Sarcastically.

"Wow,Shag,I think,Me and Velma's Sarcastic Nature is Rubbing Off,On Ya," Louis stated.

"You think So?" Shaggy asked.

"I think So,And,I don't,Even Know,What You're talking About," Scooby said,as He put his Arms,Around Louis and Shaggy,At the Same Time.

Both Boys Chuckled,When They heard That.

"Wait,You were,Jogging by with your Soccer Ball,Again,How is That,Even Possible?" Velma questioned,as She crossed Her Arms.

"Oh,You,Really,Didn't have to,Are You Single," Cheryll pointed Out as She asked Him,If He was Single,While,Stroking his Chest.

"Ew," Louis and Scooby mumbled,In Unison,as They saw It.

"Still,Glad,We're not like That," Scooby whispered,To Louis.

"You and Me,Both," Louis agreed,Firmly.

"Wait a Sec,Two Hot Girls,Hot for Gary,In the Same Day? No Way," Velma murmured to Daphne,Not Believing It to be Possible,At All.

"Guys,Still,Out of Control,Here," Fred reminded,as He grasped the Steering Wheel,Tightly,While,Staring at,What was in Front of Them.

The Rest of the Gang turned Back,To the Front Window,as They saw Themselves,Leaving the Forest,Down onto a Bumpy Road.

The Mystery Machine shook as it drove Off the Ground,And,Onto the Really Bumpy Road.

The Gang went,Right Back to Screaming as They,Suddenly,Got Off That,And,Back onto a Hill.

The Gang continued to Scream as They drove Downhill,Towards Someone's Swimming Pool,In Their Backyard.

"Oh No,Children," Mayor Nettles warned,Seeing the Children,In the Pool.

The Gang,All Lifted Their Heads to the Sky,While,Screaming,as the Pool came Closer.

Fred closed his Eyes as He made Another Hard Right,Onto Another Hill.

However.

This One was Extremely Short.

The Hill,Quickly Ended as the Mystery drove Off the Hill,And,Onto the Roof of the House.

Fred hit his Foot,On the Accelerator,as He drove,Off the Roof,And,Onto a Bouncy House,In the House's Front Yard.

The Gang Screamed,One Last Time as The Bouncy House Popped,And,The Mystery Machine landed,Safely,On the Ground.

Revealing,Just What the Gang was doing Inside the Mystery Machine.

Daphne and Mayor Nettles,Both had Their Eyes Shut,From Covering Them,And,Just,Shutting Them.

Shaggy laid on the Floor,Of the Mystery Machine,With Velma laying,On Top of Him.

Gary and Cheryl clinged to Each Other,as They leaned,Against the Wall,Of the Mystery Machine.

While,Scooby laid,On the Floor of the Mystery Machine,Unconscious from Fainting,With his Feet,Up in the Air.

Louis was,Laying,Over Scooby's Feet,as He was Grasping Them,Tightly,Finding,That,It was the Only Thing,That,He could've hanged,Onto,At That Moment.

And,Fred,One of the Only Ones,Sitting Normally,Sat in his Front Seat,With his Hair,Slightly Messed Up.

Fred Chuckled,Slightly,as He saw,That,It was Finally Over.

Daphne and Mayor Nettles,Both opened Their Eyes as They saw,That,It was Over,Too.

Shaggy and Velma stood Up as They ran Up,To Behind the Front Seats.

They,Both let Out a Sigh of Relief,as They saw,That,They were,Now,Safe.

Louis lifted his Face Up,To See,Them Safe and Sound.

"Phew,What a Relief," Louis murmured,Glad to be Safe,as He laid,Over Scooby's Feet,While,Looking at the Front.

Scooby Groaned,While,Starting to Come Out of It.

Scooby lowered his Feet Down,Back onto the Ground,While,Louis was,Still,On Them,as He sat Upright.

Scooby opened his Eyes and saw,Louis,There,Lying On the Floor,On his Stomach,While Groaning.

"Are You Okay?" Scooby asked,Gently,In Concern, as He leaned,Over Louis,To Check on Him.

"Not Really,You dropped Me,When You dropped your Feet," Louis replied,While,Trying to Sit Up.

"Oh,Louis,I'm So Sorry," Scooby apologized as He got Up,So,He could Help Louis Up.

Scooby picked Louis Up,By his Arms,And,Put him,On his Back.

As Both Boys looked,In Front of Them,And,Saw,Just a Street.

They were Back on the Ground.

Fred turned to the Gang,Seeing Them,All Frozen in Fear,From What had,Just Happened.

"Piece of Cake," Fred commented as He looked at the Gang,With a Smile.

Scooby Groaned as He fell Back,And,Fainted,Again,With Louis,Still,On his Back,When He did.

"Ow," Louis mumbled as He,Now,Laid,On the Floor of the Mystery Machine,With Scooby,Laying,On Top of Him.

Later on,That Night.

At Mr. E's Headquarters.

Mr. E and Pericles were,Both,Still,Celebrating Their New Partnership.

"So,Partner,What is Our First Order of Business? Find the Pieces,Get Rid of the Children?" Mr. E mentioned,Wondering,What They were gonna do First,as He Guessed,Multiple Things,That,They could do.

"I'm Afraid Not,My Dear Ricky,Before We get Started,We,Still Need,One Last Person,On Our Side,And,She may not be,So Easy,To Persuade," Pericles notified,as He Smiled Wickedly,Knowing,Just the Person,He wanted to Join Them.

Back at the Crime Scene.

The Firefighters were,Still,Trying to get Sheriff Stone,Out of the Vehicle.

"Come On,Guys,Pull It Together,Do You,Even Know,How to Use the Jaws of Life?" Sheriff Stone complained,To the Firefighters,as He had his Head,Sticking Out of the Car,While,He Complained,And,Pointed at Them.

Scooby and Shaggy walked Up to the Other Side of the Car as They looked,Into the Window.

"The Picnic Basket's going to be Okay,Right?" Scooby questioned, as He watched,From the Car Window,Worrying More about the Picnic Basket than Sheriff Stone.

"Come On,SD,Do You think about Anything,Other than Food?" Louis wondered,as He raised an Eyebrow,While,He Smiled at Scooby.

"Nope, Nothing Other than You," Scooby and Shaggy answered,In Unison, as They Both stuck Their Hands,In the Window,And,Grabbed Something,From the Picnic Basket,Before Gobbling It Up.

Louis Smiled as He watched Scooby,Gobble Down the Food.

Right Then,Shaggy,Once Again,Mouthed the Same Thing,He had been Mouthing,Since That Morning.

Louis was,About to Warn Him,That,He,Still,Couldn't Understand,What He was,Trying to Say.

Then,All of a Sudden.

"Louis," The Voice Called,Once More.

Louis took a Deep Breath,In and Out,as He tried to Ignore It.

"Louis," The Voice called,Again.

Louis turned,Quickly,To the Direction of the Voice,But,Still saw Nothing.

He turned Back,Around,And,Tried to Shake It Off.

Maybe,He was,Just Hallucinating,He thought.

Maybe,It would Go Away,If He,Just Ignored It,He thought.

But,That Thought,Quickly Changed.

"LOUIS!!!!!!" The Voice Shouted,Firmly,In Louis's Face.

Louis Screamed,When He heard That,as He Rolled,Slightly Back.

Scooby and Shaggy turned to Louis,In Concern,Hearing his Scream.

"Louis,What's Wrong?" Shaggy asked,Softly.

"Is Everything Okay?" Scooby added as He walked,Over to Louis.

"Yeah,Yeah,Everything's Fine,Just,Thought I saw Something," Louis lied,Trying to Pretend like Nothing was Wrong,as He Gulped,From What He had Heard.

Scooby and Shaggy looked at Each Other,With Worried Looks,Not being So Convinced.

Meanwhile.

Daphne,Fred and Velma were a Few Steps Away,From the Patrol Car,Looking for Clues.

Velma was Knelt Down,On the Grass,Looking at a Clue.

"Hmm,There's Some Odd Indentations in Hebediah Grim's Footprints," Velma pointed Out,as She pointed to the Weird Looking Footprints.

"Nice Catch,Velma" Fred congratulated.

"Eh,It's What I do," Velma responded,Smiling,Confidently,as She said That.

"You Know,Daphne,Lover's Lane is,Actually,A Perfect Setting for a Practice Date,Good Visibility,Plenty of Parking," Fred mentioned,Continuing On and On,About Their Previous Conversation,At School,Not taking "No" as an Answer.

As Fred Explained,Daphne Scoffed and Rolled Her Eyes,Getting Tired of Him,Not getting the Word,"No."

"Fred,No means No," Daphne lashed Out,Angrily,as She turned Away,From Him,And,Walked Off,Over to Velma,Who,Now,Shaggy,Scooby and Louis were With

Fred lowered his Head as He watched Her Walk Away,Towards the Others.

"Where's the Mayor," Sheriff Stone wondered,Just Then,Getting Out of the Patrol Car,And, Immediately,Looking for Her,as He Walked to the Gang,Asking Them,Where She was.

"Oh,She went Home," Louis informed,Happily,Trying to be as Normal as Possible.

"But,Velma Found," Daphne was about to Say,Before Sheriff Stone interrupted Her.

"Save It,I'm Off the Clock," Sheriff Stone demanded,as He put his Hand,In Her Face,And,Walked Off towards Home.

Daphne Frowned as She crossed Her Arms.

"Looks like,It's Up to Us,As Usual," Daphne commented,as She had Her Arms,Crossed,While,She watched Sheriff Stone Walk Away,From Them.

Louis Chuckled,When He heard That.

"Heh,What Else is New," Louis added,as He Smiled,Slightly.

"And,I think,Gary has to be Involved in This,He may not be Hebediah Grim," Daphne started Saying,Before Fred finished Her Sentence.

"But,His Best Pal,Ethan might be," Fred announced,Finding a Possible Suspect,as He got an Idea,For What to do,The Next Day.

"Well,Gang,Looks like,We have Our First Suspect," Louis said,Confidently.

The Next Day.

At School.

Daphne looked at Herself,In the Mirror,as She Smiled at Herself,Before Turning the Mirror,Slightly,So,She could See Ethan

She stared at the Mirror as She watched Him,Practice Soccer,On his Knees.

Ethan hit the Soccer Ball,On his Knee,Twice,Before Kicking It,Towards the Outside.

Daphne took a Camera,Out of Her Locker,And,Lifted It Up to Her Eye.

As She took a Picture of Him,Before He,Completely Left Her Sight.

Later.

At the Soccer Field.

Shaggy and Louis were Hidden,In with the Cheerleaders,Wearing Wigs and Girl Clothes,as They danced,With Their Pom Poms,While Cheering.

As The Two Danced with Their Pom Poms,Shaggy leaned,Closer to Louis.

"I need to Talk to You," Shaggy whispered,In his Ear,as He Danced,From Side to Side,With his Pom Poms.

"That's What,You've been,Trying to tell me,Since Yesterday?" Louis guessed,Raising an Eyebrow,Guessing,That,That was,What Shaggy had been Trying to Mouth to Him,as He Wiggled,In his Wheelchair,While, Moving his Poms,To Each Side.

"Yeah,What did You think I was Saying?" Shaggy questioned,In Curiosity,as He continued to Dance.

Louis Shrugged as He Continued to Wiggle,And,Move his Poms Around.

Shaggy was,About to Say,What He was,Trying to Tell Him.

But,Then.

Scooby jumped,Into Louis and Shaggy's Arms,In a Mermaid Costume,And,With a Go Urchins Flag.

Scooby took a Camera Out of his Mermaid Tail,And,Put It,Into his Paw.

Shaggy and Louis stayed Silent,as They held Him,Both not Wanting to have This Conversation with Scooby Around.

"Tell Me Later,Shag,Mystery First,Talking Later," Louis mumbled,In Shaggy's Ear,as He held Scooby's Top Half,In his Hands.

"Aw,I can't get a Shot,Louis,Take One,Will Ya," Scooby requested,To Louis,as He held his Paw Out to Louis,With the Camera,In Hand.

"Sure," Louis replied,as He took the Camera,From Scooby's Paws,And,Took a Quick Picture of Ethan.

After School.

In the Front of It.

Ethan was,Repeatedly,Kicking his Soccer Ball,Towards the Parking Lot.

While,Ethan was kicking the Ball,Towards the Parking Lot,He ran,Past a Tree,Where Fred was Reading the Newspaper,With a Glasses Mustache Disguise On,as He held the Newspaper,Over his Face,So,Ethan couldn't see Him.

Ethan kicked the Soccer Ball,Off the Side Walk,And,Onto the Street.

Fred saw Him,Turned Away,And,Took his Chance.

Fred lowered his Newspaper,Took off his Glasses,as a Large Camera Lens,Extended Out of the Glasses Lens,And,Took a Closeup Picture of Ethan,Who was,Now,Leaving the Parking Lot,With his Soccer Ball,Spinning on his Finger.

The Gang had Gathered Up,Enough Pictures,But,Still had Found Nothing,Suspicious on Him.

Mystery Incorporated had Only One Thing,Left to Do.

And,That was,Go to Ethan's House.

Meanwhile.

In Africa.

In the Middle of Nowhere.

Louis's Grandmother sat,At a Small Fire,With a Blanket,Around Her Shoulders,Trying to Keep Warm.

She Shivered and Shook as She held Her Hands Out,Towards the Fire,Struggling to keep Herself Warm.

She was,Really Trying to keep Herself Alive,For Louis and the Gang,And,Secretly,For Pericles.

As Much as She didn't want,To Admit It,She,Still,Somewhat Loved Him,And,Believed,That,She could,Someday,Change Him.

Suddenly.

Tanya's Phone rang.

Tanya turned to Her Phone,as It laid,On the Ground,By her Side,Buzzing Over and Over.

Tanya lifted the Phone,And,Answered It,as She put It to Her Ear.

"H-H-Hello," Tanya said as She Shivered,From How Cold She felt,While,She tried to Talk to the Person.

"Hello,Tanya,So Good to see You,Again," Pericles announced,Happily.

"P-Pericles," Tanya responded,In Surprise,as She heard his Voice,Not expecting to hear It.

"Yes,It's Me,I Know,How Much,You've missed Me,And,Thus,I have a Job Offer for You," Pericles answered,Firmly.

It was Official.

Pericles had Found Her,And,There was Nothing,That,She could do about It.

Even Though,Part of Her,On the Inside,was Glad,That,He had.

Back in Crystal Cove.

Outside Ethan's House.

In his Backyard.

In the Forest,Behind his Backyard.

The Gang crawled Up to the Bushes,On Their Bellies,While,Wearing Grass Clothing,And,Camoflauge Makeup,So,They could blend in,To Their Surroundings.

Daphne,Velma,Shaggy,Scooby and Fred poked Their Heads,Out of the Bushes,So,They could watch Ethan.

Right Then,Louis stuck his Head Out,From Inside Scooby's Grass Clothing as He let a Deep Breath Out,So,He could See,Too.

"Who's Idea was It,To put Me in Scooby's Clothes,Again?" Louis asked,Furiously,Not Liking the Idea of being in There for So Long.

"Shh,It was Mine,We couldn't bring your Wheelchair,So,The Only Way,For Ethan,Not to see You is,If You're in Someone's Clothes,And,We All Voted,That,You would Go,In Scooby's," Fred ordered,as He told Louis,That,He had Come Up,With That Plan.

Louis Frowned,When He heard That.

"Seriously,You have No Idea,How Smothering It is in There," Louis stated,In an Annoyed Tone,Warning Them of,How Hard,It was for Him to Breathe in his Clothes.

"Shh," Velma commanded,Quietly.

Louis Scoffed as He heard That.

"Sometimes,You Guys can be So Mean," Louis murmured.

"Hey,I didn't think,It was,That,Uncomfortable in There," Scooby whispered.

"Well,It's Fine,In the Soft Department,Cause,It's Quite Furry,But,My Face has been,Squished into your Chest,For Hours,And,You've,Kind of,Been Laying on Top of Me,For the Past Two Minutes," Louis explained,Softly,Explaining to Him,Why He was Saying,What He was Saying.

"Oh," Scooby replied,Realizing,That,It Made Sense.

Then.

The Gang,Each took Out a Pair of Binoculars,And,Lifted It to Their Eyes,At the Same Time,So,They could See Better.

Daphne Sighed as She and the Rest of the Gang looked,Into the Backyard.

"We've been watching Ethan,All Day,And,Everything is Normal," Daphne complained,Starting to get Tired of Looking at Him,as She looked,Through Her Binoculars.

"Eh,Somewhat,The Thing with Him,Looking at Himself,In the Mirror is,Totally not Normal," Louis added,Still,Quite Disturbed at Watching Him,Check Himself Out,In the Mirror.

"Hm,Maybe,We're wasting Our Time on Him," Daphne suggested,Starting to lose Hope in The Lead,They had been Following,For the Past Couple Hours.

"Maybe,Or,Maybe,He's about to Slip Up,Now That,He's Home Alone," Velma mentioned,Taking What Daphne Said,Into Consideration,Before Voicing a Possibility,as She stared at the Backyard,Through Her Binoculars.

"Shh,Here He Comes," Fred notified,Lowering his Binoculars to Order Them to be Quiet,as He saw Ethan Coming Out,Into his Backyard.

"Wow,Guys,You're in a Shushing Mood,Today," Louis complained,Frustratedly,From,Inside Scooby's Grass Shirt,Getting Quite Tired of All the Shushing,That,They were doing.

"Alright,Guys,Maintain the Net," Fred requested as He lifted the Binoculars,Back to his Eyes,While,Completely Ignoring Louis's Complaint.

"Like,I haven't Said Anything,Louis," Shaggy pointed Out,With a Smile.

"True," Louis agreed,Happily.

The Gang,All lifted Their Binoculars,Back to Their Eyes as They watched Ethan March Out his Back Door,With a Boom Box and Two Bats in Hand.

Ethan,Slowly and Calmly,Walked Over to Three Rusted Barrels,as The Gang watched,Suspiciously.

Ethan set the Boombox Down,On a Tire,Next to the Three Barrels.

Ethan pressed a Button,Turning the Boombox On,as It Started to Play,Upbeat Music.

Ethan Smiled as He lifted One of his Hands.

The Gang Gasped,Silently,as They saw Him,Starting to lift Something.

"He's about to Trip Up," Fred whispered as He watched Ethan,With a Smile.

"I think,He's gonna pull Out the Hebediah Grim Costume," Daphne stated,Quietly.

That was When.

Ethan lifted his Hand,Revealing,What was,In It.

Ethan put Them,On his Eyes,Revealing the Thing to be,Just Shades.

"You were Saying," Louis murmured,Sarcastically.

Ethan Smiled,Confidently,as He spun the Bats,Around in his Hands,Playing with Them,Slightly.

Ethan lifted the Bats,as He started to hit the Three Cans,Continuously,While,Head-Banging to the Music,Attempting to Play the Drums,To the Beat,Perfectly.

Ethan dashed,Over to Another Set of Rusted Barrels,as He began to hit Those with the Bats,Too.

Ethan Chuckled as He moved the Second Set of Barrels,Over to the First Set.

Before,Continuing to hit Each Set of Barrels,With the Bats,Repeatedly,To the Beat.

The Gang watched,Through Their Binoculars,With Disturbed Looks on Their Faces.

Ethan raised his Head,To the Sky,Dramatically,as He hit Drum After Drum,Again and Again.

Suddenly.

Two Garbage Can Lids Appeared,Above Ethan,And,He,Just,Hit Those,Aggressively.

"Oy,I hate This Racket," Scooby shouted,In Frustration,as He put his Paws,On his Ears,Trying to ignore Him.

Ethan ran,To Another Barrel,as He began to hit,That One,Repeatedly,While Smiling,Wickedly.

Ethan turned,To See a Small Red Grill,as He dashed,On Over to the Small Red Grill,That was,Just Laying,There,on the Floor.

Ethan raised his Bats,And,Hit the Side of the Grill,To the Beat,Violently,A Few Times,Before Swinging the Bats,At the Grill,Hitting It into a Random Tree.

Ethan Gasped as He saw,Another Object,That,He could Hit to the Beat.

Ethan leaped,Onto a Large RV,Beginning to hit the RV's Side,With the Bats,Frequently,Still Smiling,While,He did It.

Velma Frowned as She continued to Watch Him do It.

"That's Not Normal," Velma mumbled to the Gang,as She lowered her Binoculars,Trying to stop Looking at It.

"No,Definitely Not," Daphne agreed,Firmly,as She lowered her Binoculars,Not Wanting to look Anymore.

"Like,How Long,Can He keep,That Up?" Shaggy questioned,In Concern,Wondering,How Long,They were Really gonna take doing This,as He lowered his Binoculars,Too,Not Wanting to Look,Either.

"Who Knows," Louis replied,Quietly,as He stopped Looking,As Well,Leaving,Just Fred,Who was Looking.

"Uh,He'll run Out of Steam,Soon," Fred reassured as He,Still,Stood There,Watching Ethan,Through the Goggles.

Daphne and the Rest of the Gang nodded,In Agreement,as They All,Re-Raised Their Binoculars,And,Kept Looking.

5 Hours Later...

Fred Sighed as He lowered his Binoculars,Getting Quite Tired of Watching It.

"Guess,He has More Steam,Than I thought," Fred notified as He glanced at the Gang,For a Minute,While,He talked to Them,Before Turning Back to his Binoculars,To keep Looking.

Meanwhile.

While,Fred was,Still Watching Ethan,The Others did Their Own Thing.

Daphne laid Next to Him,With a Plain Look on Her Face,While,She painted Her Fingernails.

Velma laid,Beside Daphne,Laying on Her Side,as She typed Something,On Her Computer.

Louis and Scooby laid,Behind Velma,Since They were Sharing the Grass Clothes.

Louis laid,On his Stomach,On Scooby's Chest,While,Looking,Over Velma's Shoulder,as He watched Her,Type the Something on Her Computer.

As for Scooby,He laid,On his Back,With One of his Legs Crossed Over Louis's Legs and his Other Leg,With a Hamburger and Drink in Hand,as Him and Shaggy ate Their Hamburgers.

Shaggy and Scooby Gulped Down,Another Large Part of Their Hamburger,Before Smiling at Each Other,And,Clinking Their Drinks Together.

Scooby and Shaggy Giggled as They clinked Their Drinks,Before,Going Back to Drinking Them.

Just Then,Daphne sat Upright,Getting an Idea,Of,What They,Probably,Should have been Doing.

"Uh,Guys,Why are We,Just Sitting Here?" Daphne mentioned,Pointing Out,Why They aren't doing Something,More Productive.

"Cause,We're Bored," Shaggy answered.

"And,There's Nothing,We can do," Louis and Scooby pointed Out,Calmly,In Unison.

The Two looked at Each Other,With Looks of Surprise,It had been a Pretty Long Time,Since They had,Had a Twin Moment.

Both Boys Chuckled as They realized,That,They had Said It,At the Same Time.

"Blech,You Guys spend Too Much Time,Together," Velma complained,To Herself,Getting More and More Disgusted with The Duo.

Daphne Cleared Her Throat,So,She could be Heard.

Shaggy,Scooby,Louis and Velma turned to Daphne,When They heard Her,Clear Her Throat.

Even Fred turned to Her.

"Why don't We,Go Check Out his Room,While,He's Busy?" Daphne suggested,Suggesting,That,They do Something More Productive,With Their Time,While,They waited,For Him to be Finished.

Scooby,Velma,Louis and Shaggy,All looked at Each Other,In Worry,as They heard Her Suggestion.

"Why does This Feel like a Bad Idea?" Louis asked,Worriedly,as He stared at The Other Three.

"Cause,It is," Velma added,Not liking the Idea,At All.

Scooby Gulped,In Fear as He zoomed,Over to Louis,And,Clinged to Him.

Shaggy and Louis Chuckled,At the Same Time,When They saw Him do That,Before The Two looked at Each Other,And,Smiled at One Another.

In Ethan's House.

On the Second Floor.

The Gang Walked and Rolled,Quietly,Towards Ethan's Room.

At This Point,The Gang had Already gotten Out of Their Camoflauge Clothes,Upon Louis's Request.

Velma,While,Leading the Group,Opened the Door to Ethan's Room,With Her Flashlight,In Hand,as She walked,Into the Room.

Velma walked,Into the Room,as She moved Her Flashlight Around,Looking for any Clues,Tying Ethan to Hebediah Grim.

Daphne and Fred walked In,Right After Her,Holding Their Flashlights as the Three Split Up,Across the Room,To Look for Clues.

Shaggy and Scooby stood,In the Doorway,Not wanting to Enter Ethan's Room.

"Uh,Guys,Aren't You going In?" Louis questioned,From Behind Them,Waiting for Them to Go.

"Like,Are You Kidding?" Shaggy started,In a Fearful Voice,Really Not Wanting to Go in There.

"No Way,We know,Exactly,What Happens,When We do This," Scooby stated,Stating,Why They weren't going to Go in.

"We go In,Trying to find Some Clues,And,Like,A Few Minutes Later,Boom,We run into the Monster," Shaggy explained,Explaining to Louis,How These Things Always Happened,When They did This,A Specific Way.

Louis rolled his Eyes,as He shoved Scooby and Shaggy,Into the Room,To Their Dismay.

Shaggy and Scooby Screamed as Louis,Suddenly Shoved Him,Into the Room.

"Let's,Uh,Take a Look Around," Louis requested as He rolled,Into the Room,Before,Stopping at Scooby and Shaggy's Side.

Scooby motioned to Louis,For Him to Follow Him,To Where They could Search,as Louis nodded,In Agreement,Rolling After Scooby,And,Turning on his Flashlight,That,He had taken Out of his Backpack.

Shaggy Chuckled,Silently,as He walked,Over to Where Velma was Looking.

Velma stood,In Front of Ethan's Shelves,Closest to the Door,as She had Her Flashlight,Shining on Them,While,She stared at Them.

Right Then,Shaggy walked,Right Up to Her Side as He looked Up,At What She was Looking at.

Velma,Still Staring at the Shelves,Turned to,Where Daphne was,Seeing Her Searching by Herself,as She walked,Over to Her,Silently,So,She could aid Her,In Finding Clues.

As for Fred.

He was knelt Down,At Ethan's Bedside,Being Quiet,While,Shining his Flashlight on,The Stuff,That was,Just sitting on Ethan's Dresser,Next to his Bed.

On the Dresser was,A Large Soccer Ball,A Small Glass of Water,And,A Small Picture of Him and Gary,Holding the Team's Lucky Soccer Ball,While Smiling at the Camera.

Shaggy,Still Standing,At the Shelves,Raised his Flashlight,Higher and Higher Up on the Shelf,Looking for Anything Suspicious,But,He,Really wasn't Finding Anything.

Meanwhile.

Scooby and Louis were Searching for Clues,On the Far Side of the Room,Also Searching in Silence,Just like the Others.

However.

The Silence was,About to End.

Scooby,Really didn't want the Silence,Right Now,He had been getting That,From Louis,For Weeks.

And,He was going to say Something about It.

"So,Louis," Scooby mentioned,Nervously,as He stopped Searching for Clues,And,Watched Louis Continue to Look for Clues.

"Uh,Yeah?" Louis responded,Responding to Him calling his Name,as He stopped Searching,As Well,To Face Scooby.

"Has Something been going on,Lately?" Scooby questioned,In Concern.

"What do you mean?" Louis wondered,In Curiosity,Trying to See,Where Scooby was going with This.

"Well,It's,Just,I've been,Seeing You pull Away,A Lot More,As of Late,You haven't been the Same,You've been,Looking Hard into your Past,You've been,Getting Out of Bed,Early in the Morning,Sometimes,During the Night,Searching for Something,And,You've,Even been getting Scared and Screaming,When I,Just Touch Your Shoulder," Scooby explained,In a Worried Tone,as He listed,Everything He had been Noticing,As of Late.

"Scoob,You don't have to Worry,Everything is Okay,I'm Fine," Louis lied,Trying to Not Say Anything about It,He,Really was Trying to Not Worry Him.

"Lou,These aren't Normal Things,They,Just aren't,I can't Help You,If You don't Open Up to Me,And,You're Worrying Me," Scooby warned,Starting to get Very Worried,Even Sad,as his Eyes started to Tear Up,The More,He Explained.

Louis sat,Frozen,Not Knowing,What to Say,He,Just Sat There,Silently.

"Is It Me? Is It Us? Did I do Something Wrong?" Scooby interrogated,Trying Everything He could to Understand,What was going On.

But,Still,Louis didn't say Anything,Honestly,He didn't Know,What to Say.

Scooby Sighed as He lowered his Head,Disappointedly,Not Hearing Anything.

It seemed,He wasn't Saying Anything,No Matter,What Scooby Said.

Suddenly.

Louis put his Hand,On Scooby's Cheek.

Scooby froze,For a Minute,Feeling Louis do It.

Scooby raised his Head,To Face Louis,Who,Now had an Upset Face.

"It's not You,SD,It's Not," Louis informed,Softly,as He looked at Scooby,Face to Face.

"Then,What is It?" Scooby asked,Out of Curiosity,Wanting to help Louis Out.

"I can Explain Everything,I can,And,I will,To You,Even Though,It's Hard,Okay,Look,Ever Since,The Hodag Mystery,Things have been Coming to My Attention,It's,Kind Of,Personal,You See,At the End of the Hodag Mystery,I saw Hot Dog Water,And,She told Me Something," Louis explained.

"What did She tell You,Is It Something Bad?" Scooby said,Already Worrying about,What She had Said.

"She Said,Mr E had told Her,That,All of My Family had a Time,When They were a Tool to Him,And,Now,It is My Turn," Louis eludicated.

"So,He's,After You?" Scooby guessed.

"I'm not Sure," Louis replied,In a Scared Tone.

"Is That Why,You've been Searching for Things at Night?" Scooby asked,Wondering if,That was the Reason,Why He had been getting Out of Bed,So Much.

"That,However,Is for Another Reason,At the End of Our Mystery of the Dark Lilith,I saw Dark Lilith,She was Hot Dog Water,But,She gave Us the Piece,And,Now is On the Run,Then,There's,What I saw,I had seen a Ghost of a Soldier,And,That Soldier Said Something Strange,Something like Nabari,Or Something,That wasn't All Either,This Ghost,It burst Out into Laughter,Before Turning to Bones and Disappearing,Like,He had Already been Dead,For a Really Long Time,That was,How It Started,Since Then,I've been hearing Something,Calling My Name,Calling Out to Me,During the Night,During the Day,This Thing has,Even Touched Me,Earlier,When You heard Me Scream,It was,Because,This Thing had yelled,In My Face,Like,Literally,I heard It,I'm not Crazy," Louis described,Describing Everything,That had been Happening and,Everything,He had been doing,Getting Scared,Just Talking about It.

"Louis,I Know,You're not Crazy,I Know That,And,I trust You,If You Say,That,Something is,Trying to Contact You,And,You've seen a Ghost,Then,I believe You," Scooby reassured,Reassuring Him,That,He didn't Think,He was Crazy.

"But?" Louis assumed,Assuming,That a "But" was Coming.

"But,You,Really Gotta stop keeping Things from Me," Scooby mentioned,Softly.

"I Know," Louis answered,In a Sad Tone,as He lowered his Head,In Disappointment.

"Hey,I'm Serious,Look,I Know,You're used to be Alone,And,You used to spend a Lot of your Time Alone,But,You're not Alone,Anymore,The Others are Here,I'm Here,I'm Here for You,Buddy,I'm Here to Help,But,I can't Help,If I don't Know,What's going On,Please,Lou,I need You to start Communicating with Me,More,To show a Little Trust in Me,Please," Scooby pleaded,Trying to get Him,To stop,Hiding Things from Him,Wanting for Him,To Actually Communicate.

"But Then,You start Worrying about Me,And,Then,You get Overly Worried about Little Old Me," Louis informed,Expressing,How Much, He didn't Really want Him to Worry about Little Old Him.

"I'm your Friend,Louis,I'm,Supposed to Worry about You,It's a Part of My Job as a Friend and as Your Guardian," Scooby notified.

The Rest of the Gang,Just Continued Searching Ethan's Room,While,Listening to the Two's Conversation.

"When did Scooby put That,On Himself?" Velma questioned,In Confusion,Wondering,When He put being his Guardian,On Himself.

"Oh,A While Back," Daphne responded,Answering Velma's Question,Happily,as She continued to Look for Any Clues.

"Also,You are not Little Old You,To Me,To Me,You are So Much More than That,You should be Much More than That,To You,Too,Louis Parker,You are My Best Friend,And,No One,And,I Mean,No One can take Your Place," Scooby explained,In a Serious Tone,Being as Serious,As He had Ever Been.

"Oh,Scoob,Thanks," Louis thanked,Happily,Liking What Scooby had Said,It had Put a Smile on Louis's Face,as He hugged Scooby.

"Don't Mention It,Lou,Just Promise Me,You'll Communicate with Me,More Often," Scooby requested,as He Smiled,While,Louis hugged Him.

"I Promise,Pal,I Promise," Louis agreed,Contentively,as He let Go of Scooby,And,Lifted his Pinky.

Scooby Chuckled as He lifted his Pinky,And,Wrapped It Around Louis's Pinky.

"Pinky Promise," Scooby whispered.

"Yep,Pinky Promise," Louis repeated,Agreeing with,What He had,Just Said.

"Well,We better get Back,To Looking for Clues," Scooby suggested.

"Yeah,The Clues aren't going to find Themselves," Louis added,Joyfully.

"Precisely,Maybe,Now,You Guys can focus,On the Task at Hand," Daphne commented,as She held Her Flashlight,Over Ethan's Desk.

Louis and Scooby looked at Each Other as They Both rolled Their Eyes,At Her Comment,Before getting Back to Searching for Clues.

Velma lifted her Flashlight,So,She could See,What was on the Desk,Too.

"Hmm,Play Scripts,Ticket Stubs,A Drama Club Application," Velma listed as She moved Her Flashlight,Across the Desk,While,She Looked,Before,Picking Up the Drama Club Application,Revealing a Clue to be Under It.

"Check This Out,It's a Program for the School Play," The Scorning," Daphne announced,Picking the Little Pamphlet Up,To get a Closer Look.

Louis,Fred,Shaggy and Scooby Walked Over,To the Desk,To Look at,What She had Found.

"I think,We've found Our Evidence," Fred said,Out Loud,With a Smile on his Face,as He hovered Over Daphne.

That was When.

The Light,Suddenly,Came On.

"Huh," The Gang responded,In Unison,as They turned to,Where the Light Switch was.

It was Ethan.

He,Now,Stood in the Doorway,Of his Room,Looking at the Gang,With Suspicion.

"Evidence of What?" Ethan wondered as He put his Hand,On his Hip,While,He hung the Bat,Over his Shoulders.

"We're,Investigating the Mystery of Hebediah Grim," Fred mentioned.

"You think,I'm,That Pilgrim Freak?" Ethan guessed,Raising an Eyebrow,as He walked,Over to his Bed,Setting his Bat Down,Next to It.

"Then,How do you,Already Know about Him?" Louis questioned,Suspiciously.

"The Internet,Duh,I Knew,Expanding My Horizons was a Mistake," Ethan replied,Answering Louis's Question,Before Complaining,as He Jumped,Onto his Bed,And,Leaned Against the Bed Rail.

Louis Frowned as He heard Ethan,Throw It in his Face,That,It was From the Internet.

"Well,If You're not Hebediah Grim,Then,Somehow,Gary must be," Velma stated,Not Knowing,Anyone Else to be a Suspect,as She shrugged her Shoulders,In Confusion.

"Gary,Oh,Okay,That's Funny," Ethan pointed Out as He repeated,The Name,That,Velma had,Just Said,Saying It in Disbelief.

"Yeah,Like,Gary,And?" Shaggy responded,Firmly,Asking Ethan,What was So Wrong about Thinking,It was Gary.

"Hang On,I've got to Video Chat Gary about This," Ethan warned,as He picked Up his Computer,And,Entered his Password.

"Do You,Though?" Louis commented,Thinking,He Really didn't have to Call Him.

Ethan finished,Putting in his Password,as a Live Video Feed,Came Up.

Gary was,At his House,At his Computer,Eating Pizza.

"Dude,The Mystery Dopes think,You're,That Lover's Lane Hammer Whacko," Ethan informed,Repeating,What the Gang had,Just Said.

"Yeah,Right,And,How'd I Attack Myself,Am I a Wizard,Too," Gary lashed Out,Angrily,Pointing Out the Flaws,In Their Thinking,as He got Angry,Just talking about It.

"Prepare to be Laughed At," Daphne whispered to the Gang.

"Nah,They're,Even Too Dumb for That," Louis muttered Back to Daphne.

"Ooh,Wizard Magic,Shacka-Macka-Zoo,Allakahammie," Gary continued,Continuing to Go On and On,About Wizard Magic.

The Gang gathered,Around Ethan's Computer,as They looked at the Live Video Feed.

"If You're Not,Hebediah Grim,Then,Why are You Always,There,When He Attacks?" Velma mentioned,Trying to get,Some Real Answers Out of Him.

"I'm Happy,To Answer,All of your Questions,Guys,But,First,Look Out," Gary reassured,Telling Them,That,He was going to Cooperate,Before Warning Them to Look Out,While,Pointing to the Side.

Ethan and the Gang turned to the Direction,Where Gary was Pointing To,as Hebediah Grim stood Right There,With his Hammer,In Hand.

Hebediah Grim Growled as He came at Them,With his Hammer,Raise Up,About to Hammer Them.

The Gang Screamed,In Unison,as They ran,Out of the Way.

Ethan Gasped as He got Off his Bed,With his Computer,In Hand,Getting Ready to Run.

Ethan got Off the Bed,Just in Time,Dodging Hebediah's Hammer.

Instead,Hebediah Hammered Ethan's Lamp and Desk,To Pieces,Just to Scare Them.

"You shall All be Judged for Your Wicked Transgressions," Hebediah shouted,Pointing to Most of the Gang,And,Ethan.

"What did We do?" Louis wondered,In Confusion.

"I have No Idea," Scooby replied as He clinged to Louis,While,Shaking.

"All,Except You,You may Go," Hebediah Grim notified,Calmly,Pointing to Velma,Telling Her,That,She was Free to Go.

"What? No Way,I'm not going Anywhere," Velma responded,Angrily,as She put her Hands,On Her Hips.

"So be It," Hebediah rephrased,Not putting Up a Fight.

"Velma," Louis and Scooby called Out,In Unison.

"What?" Velma asked,Wondering Why,They were calling her Name.

"You could've saved Yourself," Louis complained.

"Yeah,At Least,You would have been Safe," Scooby said,Agreeing with Louis's Statement.

"Who Cares?" Velma retorted.

"We do," Louis and Scooby pointed Out,In Unison.

"Silence,You Shall All be Judged,Starting with You,Daphne Blake," Hebediah Grim demanded,as He pointed to Daphne,Specifically.

Ethan pushed past the Others.

"Judge This,Sir-Dorks-A-Lot," Ethan retorted as He came,Running at Him,With his Bat,In Hand.

Ethan swinged his Bat at Hebediah.

Hebediah Ducked and lifted his Hammer,To Block the Attack.

"Did Ethan,Just Go towards the Danger?" Louis questioned,Not Believing,What He was,Just Seeing.

Hebediah Yelled as He ran,Towards Ethan,With his Hammer Raised,About to hit Ethan with It.

Ethan dodged the Hammer as He did a Back Flip,Towards his Trophy Shelf.

Ethan Smiled as He saw,That,Hebediah had Missed.

Hebediah Growled,Furiously,as He dashed,Towards Ethan,Ready to Try Again.

Ethan raised his Bat,as He prepared to hit Hebediah.

The Gang,Just Watched,Silently,Not Knowing,What to Do.

Hebediah swinged his Hammer at Ethan.

Ethan jumped Up,Making the Hammer Miss,And,Hit the Wall of the House.

Blowing a Ginormous Hole,In Ethan's Room.

Hebediah turned Back Around,To See Daphne and Ethan,Near Ethan's Bed.

Hebediah raised his Hammer,Over his Head,as He Launched at the Two of Them.

The Minute,Ethan saw Hebediah coming towards Them.

He pushed Daphne,To the Floor,To Protect Her,as He jumped,Onto his Bed,Evading the Flying Hammer.

Instead,The Hammer crushed Ethan's Dresser,Into Splinters.

Ethan rolled Off the Bed,And,Stood in Front of Hebediah Grim.

"Like,Is He Insane?" Shaggy asked,as He watched,With Worry.

"Apparently," Scooby answered,as He,Still,Clinged to Louis,While,He watched.

Hebediah lifted his Hammer,Again,as He swung his Hammer,At Ethan.

Ethan ran Away,From the Hammer,Dodging the Coming Attack.

Hebediah hoisted his Hammer Up,And,Tried to hit Him,Again.

Ethan rolled,Across the Floor,Avoiding It.

As It Missed,Hebediah,Ended Up Hammering his Bigger Dresser,as One Shelf stuck Out.

Hebediah tried to Hammer Him,While,He was Rolling,But,He,Just Hammered the Floor.

Ethan got Back,Onto his Feet.

Hebediah attempted to Hammer his Head,Ethan ran Away,From the Dresser,as He ended Up,Hitting the Shelf,That was Sticking Out.

Hebediah turned to Look at Ethan,Seeing Him,Right Next to Him.

He raised the Hammer,And,Swinged his Hammer at Ethan's Head.

Ethan ducked as the Hammer hit the Wall,Above Him.

Ethan tried to kick Him,But,Hebediah,Just stepped Back.

Hebediah lifted his Hammer,At the Same Time,as Ethan lifted his Bat.

Ethan hit his Bat,Onto his Hammer Stick,Trying to get It to Break.

Hebediah clenched the Hammer,Tightly,as Ethan hit It.

Ethan tried to Whack Him,In the Head,But,He,Just raised the Hammer,Slightly,Making the Bat hit the Hammer's Stick Part,Again.

Ethan hit his Bat,On the Hammer,Repeatedly,Each Time,Putting a Little More Force,Into It.

However.

By Now,Hebediah Grim was Furious.

He Hoisted his Hammer Up,And,Hammered Ethan,In the Chest.

Ethan flew Back,Flying into his Trophy Shelf,as It Broke,And,He fell to the Floor.

Daphne put a Hand to Her Mouth as She saw It Happen.

A Shadow loomed Over Daphne.

Daphne turned to the Shadow.

It wasn't Ethan,It was Hebediah Grim.

Hebediah Roared as He put His Hammer,Over his Head,Trying to Hammer Her.

"Daphne," Louis,Scooby,Fred,Shaggy and Velma shouted,In Unison,as They watched Him raise the Hammer.

Suddenly.

Ethan got Up and came,Launching at Hebediah.

Ethan ran,Into Him,as He pushed Hebediah,Out the Hole in the Wall,Onto the Ground.

Ethan looked Out the Hole,In the Wall,Making Sure,That,He was Gone,Before He let his Guard Down.

There was No Sight of Hebediah Grim,He was Already Gone.

Daphne joined Ethan,In Looking Outside,Helping Him Make Sure.

"Looks like,He's not Judging You,Tonight,Daphne," Ethan reassured as He glanced at Daphne,Seeing Her at his Side.

"Like,Uh Oh," Shaggy whispered as He watched.

"But,I'll walk You Home,Just to be Safe," Ethan offered as He put his Hands,On his Hips,And,Smiled Confidently at Her.

Daphne Sighed,Contentively,as She heard Him Talk.

Ethan held his Elbow Out to Her,And,Daphne,Quickly,Grabbed It,No Questions Asked

As the Two began to Walk Out,Daphne put her Hand,On his Shoulder.

"Thank You,So Much,Ethan," Daphne thanked,Happily,as She looked at Him,While,They Walked.

Fred and Velma watched The Two,Pass by Them,as They looked at It,With Disturbed Looks on Their Faces.

At the Same Time.

Scooby was,Still,Clinging to Louis,as He clinged to Him,With his Claws Out,Now,Digging into Louis's Skin.

"Uh,SD,He's Gone,Now," Louis warned,Painfully.

"Yeah,I Know," Scooby responded,Not Getting,Where Louis was going with It.

"Um,You can let Go,Now,And,Retract the Claws,Preferably," Louis reminded,Firmly,Really Wanting Him to stop,Digging his Claws into Him.

"Oh,Right," Scooby replied,Realizing,What He meant,as He retracted his Claws,And,Stopped Clinging.

"If You Sherlock Nose,Really wanna Solve This Mystery,You should check Out,Doogle McGuiness,He played the Lead,In the Scorning,I heard,He gets Crazy Obsessed,With Every Character,He Plays," Ethan explained,as He lifted the Pamphlet to show Them,Who He was,Before Throwing It,Into Fred's Hands,And,Walking Out,While,Smiling at Daphne.

Fred caught the Pamphlet,And,Frowned as He watched Them,Walk Out.

"Ethan's,Never,Even Practiced,Walked Her Home," Fred complained as He watched Them,Leave the Room.

"Daphne's Fine,Fred," Velma stated,Plainly,as She took the Pamphlet.

"And,I think,We need to pay a Little Visit to Doogle McGuiness," Louis added as Him and the Rest of the Gang gathered Around Velma,And,Looked at the Picture of Him.

Later,That Night.

At Doogle's House.

The Gang Walked Up,Onto his Porch as They,All looked at It,With Concern and Suspicion.

Louis,Now,On Scooby's Back,Gulped,Clinging to Scooby's Neck,as He looked at the House.

"The House,Definitely,Looks Guilty," Velma mentioned as She looked at the House,With a Suspicious Look in Her Eye

"Like,It,Probably,Looks Better in the Daylight,Let's Come Back,Tomorrow," Shaggy suggested,Not liking the Look of the House,And,Wanting to Go Home,as He turned Around,About to take Off and Run.

"Yeah,Sounds like a Plan to Me," Scooby agreed,Not Wanting to Go in,Either.

"Come On,Scoob,We've got This,It's,Just an Old House," Louis reassured.

"An Old and Scary House," Scooby whispered,Still,Not Wanting to Go In.

"Please,SD,I'll be with You,The Whole Way," Louis notified.

"Oh,Okay,But,Only for You" Scooby replied,With a Worried Tone,Finally Agreeing with Him,To Go In.

As for Shaggy,He was,Still,Trying to Leave.

Shaggy tried to Run Away,But,Fred,Immediately stopped Him.

Fred grasped his Shoulders and turned Shaggy Around,as He made Sure,That,He went First.

Shaggy Sighed as He Walked Up,Onto the Front Porch.

The Minute,Shaggy walked,Onto the Porch,He Screamed as He tripped,Over Something.

The Rest of the Gang Gasped as They saw Him Trip.

Shaggy landed Face Flat,On the Front Porch,as He laid on his Stomach.

Shaggy lifted his Head as He turned to,What He tripped On.

"Huh,Hey,Like,A School Yearbook," Shaggy announced,In Surprise,Finding Out,What It was,Before He picked It Up,And,Got Up off the Floor.

Shaggy opened It as the Rest of the Gang walked Up the Last Stair,Onto the Porch,To Look at the Inside of the Yearbook.

"What's It Say?" Louis asked,Curiously,as He looked,Over Shaggy's Shoulder.

"Hot,Mega Hot,Queen Hotness?" Shaggy read,as He turned,From Page to Page,Seeing the Girls,Circle in Red,Getting More and More Disgusted,The More He read of It.

"Jinkies,These are the Girls,Who have been Targeted," Velma said,as She,Also,Looked at the Yearbook.

"Something tells Me,That,This is Our Guy," Fred murmured as He and the Others heard,And,Saw,What Shaggy was Reading.

"Hm,Is It Jealousy?" Louis guessed,Jokingly,Just Messing with Him.

Fred Frowned,Not Liking Louis's Joke,as He blushed,From Louis's Comment.

Scooby and Louis Chuckled,Finding the Joke,Quite Funny.

Fred rolled his Eyes as He walked Up to the Door.

"Like,Be Careful,Fred," Shaggy warned,Quietly.

Fred knocked,On the Door,Just Slightly,And,The Door pushed Open,Somewhat.

"Uh Oh," Louis answered,Seeing,That,The Door was Open.

"Hello,Doogle," Fred called,as He pushed the Door,Wide Open.

The Gang,All followed Close,Behind Him,Not Trusting,Where This was Going.

Suddenly.

A Large Bright Light turned On,Lighting Up the Whole Front Door,And,Scaring the Gang as They All Screamed,While Standing,In the Doorway.

Fred lowered his Arm,To See,If He could get a Good Look,At What It was as He looked at the Light,With a Scared Look on his Face.

The Gang,Continuously Screamed,Thinking,That,Something was,About to Happen.

As They All Looked,Trying to get a Look at It,They saw Everything clear Up,Before Them.

The Bright Light was,Just from a Vanity Mirror,Where Doogle was Sitting At.

"Huh," The Gang responded,In Shock,Seeing,That,It wasn't Something Bad.

"Doogle Mcguiness," Velma called Out,In Surprise.

"Speak Fast,I'm doing a One Man Production of," "Animal Farm" at the Crystal Cove Asylum,For Criminally Insane Animals,Those Homicidal Kooks love,Le Theater," Doogle commanded,as He Explained,Why He was in Such a Hurry.

"Hey,Wasn't It There Once?" Scooby wondered,Recalling being in One of the Cells,There,During Their Fright Hound Fiasco.

"Shh,We don't talk about That Terrible Experience,You were force to Take,Scooby-Doo," Louis reminded,as He softed Scooby's Head,Trying to Comfort Him,For Remembering Such a Terrible Memory.

That was When.

Fred stepped Forward,Getting Straight to the Point.

"Okay,Then,Admit It,You played a Character,Like Hebediah Grim,In a School Play,And,It twisted your Mind,Turned You into Some Daphne-Obsessed Freak," Fred accused as He did a Hand Gesture,Around his Head,To Indicate,That,He was Insane.

Doogle Frowned as He heard,All the Junk,That Fred was Spewing.

"Okay,First,I hated That Play," Doogle informed,Firmly.

"Why?" Louis questioned,In Confusion,Wondering Why He hated That Specific Play.

"Oh,Sixteenth Century Musical Theater is So Musky," Doogle complained,Emphasizing,How Much,He didn't like Sixteenth Century Theater.

"Yeah,Well,Then,Why'd You Circle the Girls,Who were Attacked,In Your Yearbook?" Shaggy interrogated,as He put his Hand,On his Hip,And,Held the Yearbook,In Doogle's Face.

"I've never Seen,That Yearbook,Before," Doogle acknowledged.

"That's What,Every Guilty Person Says," Louis responded,Finding the Guy,Extremely Suspicious.

"I Should Know,Mine is Covered in Denim and Sequins," Doogle pointed Out as He Smiled and Chuckled,Happy to Know,That,His was Covered in Sequins.

Louis and Scooby looked at Each Other,And,Stuck Out Their Tongues,In Disgust,Finding It Disgusting,That,He had Sequins on His.

"Wait,I Know That Yearbook,I signed It,It belongs To," Doogle was About to Say,Recognizing the Yearbook,And,About to tell Them.

Before a Large Hammer burst,Through the Wall,Into Doogle,Knocking Him to the Floor.

The Gang Screamed,At the Same Time,as They saw It Happen,All of a Sudden.

"The Actor has been Judged,And,Your Friend,Daphne,The Scarlet Haired Temptress is Next,She shall be Judged," Hebediah Grim declared,as He Stuck his Head Out of the Hole in the Wall,For a Second,To Say his Piece,Before Disappearing into the Shadows,Saying,She was going to be Judged.

Fred,Louis,Velma,Shaggy and Scooby looked,Into the Hole in the Wall,To Make Sure,He was Gone.

"Hm,Whoever This is,They're,Trying Pretty Hard to make Sure,This Mystery isn't Solved," Louis stated.

"Like,You said It,Louis," Shaggy added.

At the Same Time

Doogle laid,Spread Out,Across the Floor,Groaning,From the Hammer Attack,as the Gang turned to Him,Hearing his Groans.

"So,Now What?" Fred asked,Wondering,What to do Next.

Later,On,That Night.

At Mr. E's Headquarters.

Mr. E sat in his Chair,Playing his Piano,As Usual.

"Ricky,I've got Our New Partner in Crime," Pericles warned,Happily,as He stood by Their New Partner.

"Excellent Work,Pericles," Mr. E congratulated,as He turned his Chair Around,To find Quite a Surprise.

"Hello,E," Tanya whispered,Walking onto the Platofrm,In Clean Clothes,as She looked at Him,With a Frown.

"Tanya,Now,This is a Surprise," Mr. E commented.

"Save the Formalities,I'm not Here for You,E,I'm Here to get Those Kids Away from This Planispheric Disc Nonsense,And,For My Pericles,After That,I'm Out of Here," Tanya eludicated,Making Her Reasons,Quite Clear to Mr. E.

"Very Well,It's Good to have You,On the Team,Again,Tanya," Mr. E said as He held Out his Hand to Her.

Tanya Glared at Him,as She grabbed his Hand,And,Shook It.

She did not trust Mr. E,One Bit,But,It would All be Worth It,In the End,Once She got Her Precious Pericles Back and got the Kids Away from the Haunted Treasure,She was Leaving,Once Again.

"Welcome to the Team,My Dear,Tanya," Pericles murmured as He flew,Onto Her Shoulder.

Everything was going,According to Plan.

Back at Fred's House

The Gang had Already Come Back,And,Were Sitting Down.

Well,Louis,Velma,Daphne and Fred,At Least.

Velma and Daphne sat,On the Couch,On Their Phones,While,Louis and Fred,Just Listened.

"The School Drama Club,Just texted Me Back,Doogle's Costume,From, "The Scorning" is Missing,So's the Back Up," Velma announced.

"I knew,There had to be More than One,There was No Way,That,Hebediah Grim is That Fast," Louis stated.

"And,The Only Things,We Know,For Sure are,What Louis,Just Said,And,That,Daphne is the Next Target," Fred added,Mentioning the Things,That,They Knew.

"Ethan offered to Protect Me,I could spend All My Time with Him," Daphne mentioned,Suggesting a Way to keep Herself Safe.

"No,That would never Work,Never," Fred lashed Out,Angrily,as He stood Up,Furiously,Not Wanting Daphne to be Anywhere Near Ethan.

Daphne,Louis and Velma looked at Fred,With Weirded Out Looks,as They blinked,At the Exact Same Time,While,They looked at Him.

Fred Sighed as He lowered his Head,In Disappointment.

"Like,We could Lie Low,Here,Until,Grim goes Away," Shaggy suggested as Him and Scooby,Stood,At a Small Table,Along with Brad and Judy,Who were Wearing Chef Clothes,With Multiple Meats on the Table,In Front of Them.

"Prime Rib,Please," Shaggy whispered,Giving Brad and Judy,His Answer of,What He wanted.

Brad raised his Cleaver as He cut a Slice of Prime Rib,And,Tossed It Off the Knife,Into Shaggy's Mouth.

"Yeah,We've got All the Meat,We need," Scooby commented,Finishing Shaggy's Statement,While,Shaggy chewed his Slice of Prime Rib.

Louis shook his Head,Playfully,as He watched Them Eat.

"I don't think,That's the Point,Guys," Louis informed,Softly.

"Like,We Know," Shaggy replied,Shrugging his Shoulders,Carefreely.

"Uh,Turkey,Duck,Ham,Please," Scooby requested.

Judy lifted her Cleaver as She cut Off a Slice of Turkey,Duck and Ham,Before,Lifting Her Cleaver,And,Tossing the Slices,Into Scooby's Mouth.

"Hm,Something about All This is Really Bugging Me," Velma said,Still Reading,The Yearbook,That,They had found on Doogle's Front Porch.

Shaggy Chuckled as He Shuffled,Over to Velma.

"Like,Is It,That,Your Picture wasn't Circled in the Yearbook?" Shaggy guessed,as He stood,Behind the Couch.

"Or,Because,Hebediah Grim thinks,You're Untempting," Scooby teased,Playfully,Joining Shaggy,Behind the Couch,as The Two Boys broke,Into Laughter at Their Jokes.

"Hmph," Velma responded,as She shut the Yearbook,And,Turned Away from Them.

But,Still,The Boys continued to Laugh.

"Oh,Man,You Guys are Mean,Maybe,You Guys should Stop," Louis notified,Seeing How Offended,Velma was Getting,And,Standing Up for Her,as He put his Arm,Around Her Shoulder.

And,Still,The Boys continued to Laugh at Her.

"Don't Waste Your Breath,Louie,They're Not gonna Stop," Velma ordered as She picked Louis Up,Onto Her Back,And,Walked Away from The Two.

"Fred,I Hope,I'm not Crossing a Trip Wire,Here,But,We know the Perfect Trap for This Situation,The Auckland and Brinkle,Right,Judy?" Brad offered,Hoping He wasn't Crossing a Boundary,Trying to Offer Him and Judy's Help,as Him and Judy took Their Chef Hats Off,While,He Talked.

"That's Right,Brad,You can save the Town," Judy agreed,as She tried to Help Brad,Offer Their Help.

"And,Your Girl," Brad finished,Pointing That Out,Specifically,Knowing,Exactly,What to Say.

Fred turned Back,From Brad and Judy to Daphne,Seeing Her,On Her Phone,Texting Ethan as He put on his Serious Face,And Said.

"We're In," Fred allowed,Accepting Their Help,as He continued to Look,At Daphne.

Back at Lover's Lane.

The Gang and Brad and Judy were Spread Out,Across the Hilltop.

Brad and Judy were,Setting Up the Trap,With Fred Watching.

Scooby and Velma were,In the Mystery Machine.

Daphne was Waiting,For Her Time to be in the Van.

And,Shaggy and Louis were a Little More Far Apart,Then,The Others,Standing and Sitting at the Edge of the Hill,Looking at the Houses Below,Silently.

Even Though,That was going to Change.

Shaggy was going to seize his Chance,To tell Him,Now.

All Day,He had been,Constantly Interrupted,And,He wasn't going to let This Chance,Pass Him By,Too.

Cause,Then,He may never tell Him.

"Hey,Louis," Shaggy called,Quietly,as He stood at Louis's Side,While,They Looked at the Houses,Below Them.

"Yeah,Shaggy," Louis answered,as He turned to Shaggy,Waiting for Him to Say Something.

"I need to tell You Something,Something Important,That,I Really Need to get Off my Chest," Shaggy explained to Him,Trying his Best,For Scooby Not to hear Him.

"Okay,Shoot," Louis murmured,Allowing Shaggy to Talk,While,He would,Just Listened.

"I'm Sorry,For being Such a Jerk,I Know,I have been,I haven't been Very Nice,To You,Specifically,And,All for a Ridiculous Reason," Shaggy admitted,Trying Everything,He had to get This Out.

"What is the Reason,Shag?" Louis asked,Softly,Out of Curiosity.

"It's a Dumb Reason,Really,It,Uh,It,Um,It has to do with You and Scooby," Shaggy warned,Attempting to be as Nice as Possible.

"Alright,Go On," Louis requested,Wanting to hear,What He had been doing Wrong.

"Well,It's,Just That,I've seen You and Scooby,Hanging Out,Like,Together,A Lot More,As of Late,You Know,You Guys,Just have So Many Things,You and Him have,Like,These Nick Names for Each Other,You Cuddle Together,You take Care of One Another,Every Night,You Guys have These Little Cute Talks,I Mean,You Two,Even,Have This,Like,Self-Respect for One Another,You Two seemed to have This Hard-to Explain Super-Close Connection to Each Other,That,As of Recently,Has started to make Me feel...Left Out,Honestly,Before You came,Me and Scooby were Extremely Close,Like,Really Close,But,It was like,After You and Him became Friends,Me and Him have drifted Farther and Farther Away from Each Other,To the Point of,I feel like,He doesn't like Me,Anymore,That,We aren't Friends,Anymore,That,He wants You More than Me,Like,You're better than Me," Shaggy eludicated,Staring at the Houses,The Whole Time,as the More He Explained,The More,He felt the Urge to Cry.

"Shag,I-I'm So Sorry," Louis apologized,as His Eyes started to Tear Up,Really Understanding the Hurt,That,Shaggy was Feeling.

He knew,What It was Like,To Crave Scooby's Attention.

He used to,All the Time,When They weren't Friends.

"No,No,Don't Apologize,You didn't Know,You couldn't have Known,Cause,I didn't Communicate,I should not have Acted like That,Not,That,Like,Snotty,This isn't your Fault," Shaggy reassured,Turning to Him,as He put his Hands,On Louis's Shoulders.

"Yeah,But,I could've," Louis tried to Say,as his Eyes welled Up with Tears.

"No,Like,No,You couldn't have,I Understand,Now,I do,You're a Kid,Thus,Why You need More Attention,I've understood This,Since The Dark Lilith Mystery,I saw,What Happened to You,When He wasn't paying Attention,I felt,That Worry,When You got Hurt,Now,I Understand,Why,He's Always Worrying about You,And,I Understand,Why,He likes You," Shaggy finished,as He was,Now,Knelt Down,While,Talking Him,Before putting his Hand,On Louis's Head,And,Messing Up his Hair,Playfully.

Louis Chuckled,Slightly,as He started to wipe Away his Tears.

"Ah,Like,There's,That Smile," Shaggy said,Happily,Happy to see Him Smiling.

Suddenly.

Louis grabbed Shaggy,And,Pulled Him into a Hug.

"I forgive You,And,For the Record,I do not blame You,Either," Louis murmured,as He hugged Shaggy,Tightly.

Shaggy Smiled as He put his Arms,Around Him.

He was So Happy,To have gotten,That,Off his Chest.

"So,Friends?" Shaggy wondered,Lifting an Eyebrow,Really Hoping,That,They were Good,Again.

Louis let Go as He looked Up at Shaggy,And Said.

"Friends," Louis repeated,In Agreement,as He put his Hand Up into a Fist,And,Put It Out,In Front of Shaggy.

Shaggy Chuckled as He hit his Fist,Into Louis's.

As They did a Fist Bump.

At the Same Time.

Brad and Judy were,Continuing to set Up the Trap.

Brad was Up,On One of the High Branches,Holding Onto Some Rope,While,Judy was,On a Lower Branch,Slowly,Giving Him More Rope.

"Wow,I'll never Reach This Level of Trapsmanship," Fred claimed,as He watched Brad and Judy,Do Their Elaborate Trap,From the Ground.

"You're Our Son,Fred,Trapping's in Your Blood," Brad declared as He stopped,Making the Trap,To Reassure Fred,That,He Could,While,Still,Holding the Rope,In his Hands.

"You,Just Have to believe in your Inner Trapsman,As Much as We do," Judy added as She looked Down at Her Son,And,Smiled at Him.

"Yeah,D-Do You Really Mean That," Fred wondered as His Eyes started to Tear Up,From the Complement,He,Just Heard.

"We do," Brad and Judy replied,In Unison.

Fred's Eyes welled Up,With Tears as He started to Cry.

Fred wiped Away his Tears.

"I Better,Go Check the Counterweights,I'm,Just So Happy," Fred said,Walking Away from Them,Trying to make Sure,They didn't see Him Cry,as He started to Talk to Himself,And,Continued to Sniffle and Wipe Away his Tears,While,Going to check the Weights.

Meanwhile.

In the Mystery Machine.

Velma was Sitting Down,Looking at the Yearbook,Up Close,With Her Magnifying Glass,as Scooby sat,Beside Her,With a Little Distance,Between Each Other.

Though,Scooby wanted to Change That.

Scooby looked Around,Casually,as He saw,No One Around,And,Scooted Closer to Velma.

Velma looked at Him,With the Corner of Her Eye,Seeing,How Close He was,as She scooted Away,From Him,Slightly,To put Some Distance,Between the Two.

Scooby looked Around,Once Again,Seeing,No One,as He scooted Closer to Her.

Velma looked Back at Him,To See Him,Too Close,Again,as She scooted Away,From Him,Trying to have Some Space.

Scooby didn't,Even Bother,Looking Around,This Time,as He,Just Scooted,Over to Her Side,With a Casual Smile on his Face.

Velma watched Him as She saw Him,Scoot to Her Side.

"Why are You,So Close to Me?" Velma questioned,Firmly,Wondering,Why the Heck,He kept wanting to be Right Next to Her.

"You're the Safest Place to be,Right Now," Scooby answered,Normally,Happy to be Safe.

"Hmm," Velma mumbled as She got Up,With Her Book and Magnifying Glass,In Hand,And,Walked Out of the Mystery Machine,To get Some Space and Some Peace and Quiet.

Scooby looked to the Side as He followed Her Out of the Mystery Machine.

But,The Minute,He Hopped Out of the Mystery Machine,He went the Opposite Way,And,Headed Straight to Louis.

Scooby found Louis,Still,Sitting at the Edge of the Hill,Now,Looking Up to the World,Beyond Crystal Cove.

"Hey," Scooby whispered,as He walked Up to Louis's Side.

"Hey," Louis responded,Happily,as He continued to Stare Out,To Beyond Crystal Cove.

"I thought,A Lot about,What You Said," Scooby informed.

"What I Said?" Louis repeated,In Confusion,as He turned to Scooby,With a Raised Eyebrow.

"Yeah,Your Explanation,Back at Ethan's House," Scooby reminded.

"Ah,That," Louis realized,Recognizing,What Scooby was talking about.

"Yeah,And,I've come to a Verdict," Scooby announced,as He turned to face Louis.

"You have?" Louis asked,Worrying about,What His Verdict was.

"I want to Help You find Out,About Your Family," Scooby notified,In a Serious Tone.

"Scooby,You don't have to.." Louis tried to Say,Trying to tell Him,That,He didn't have to Help Him.

"No,It's Okay,I want to,Lou,I'm your Friend,And,As Your Friend,I am Here,To Help,We'll find Out,What Happened,With Them,Together,Whatever Happened,Between Them and Mr. E,We'll find Out," Scooby offered,Expressing,How Much,He wanted to Help,His Friend,With This.

"And,You're Sure,You're Sure,You want to do This?" Louis interrogated,Making Sure,That,He wasn't getting Him into Something,He didn't want to get Into.

"I'm Sure,I do want to Help," Scooby proclaimed,as He grabbed Louis's Hand,With One Paw,And,Did a Salute,With his Other Paw.

"Oh,Okay,But,The Minute,You want to Stop,You can," Louis suggested,Giving Him a Way Out,If He might want It,Later.

"The Minute,I want to Stop,I will tell You," Scooby stated,Giving Louis a Wink,as He said That.

Louis Smiled,In Response,as He put his Arm,Around Him,And,The Two looked at Crystal Cove,Together.

Back in the Mystery Machine.

Daphne sat,In the Passenger Seat,Looking Outside,While,Waiting for Her Time to Shine.

Fred opened the Front Door,To the Front Seat,as He got In,And,Sat Down,Beside Her.

"Okay,Daphne,As Soon as You have your Safety Gear On,We can get Started," Fred warned,as He handed Her a Rope,And,A Helmet.

Daphne turned to Him,Knowing Exactly,What He was doing.

"Fred,For the Last Time,I'm not Ready to Date You,Practice or Not," Daphne shouted,Furiously,Really Sick and Tired of telling Him,No.

Fred Frowned as He heard Her,Lash Out at Him,Angrily.

"Sorry,I'm,Just Nervous," Daphne rephrased,Apologizing for Shouting at Him,as She lowered her Head,In Sadness.

"Don't be,No Creep is gonna Judge You,On My Watch,You got It,I Swear," Fred commanded,Emphasizing,How Serious,He was about Protecting Her.

"Thanks,Fred,No One makes Me feel as Safe as You do,Maybe,We can go On a Practice Date,Some Day," Daphne thanked,as She laid her Head Down,On his Shoulder,While,Complementing Him,And,Changing Her Mind,To a Maybe.

"Really? Uh,I-I Mean,Yeah,That'd be Great," Fred stuttered,Trying Not to Ruin It,By Being Embarrassing,as He changed his Voice,From Excited to Serious,And,Laid his Head Back,To Wait.

The Two sat There,In the Van,For Hours,Waiting for Him to Come.

Before,Finally,Fred Said.

"Daphne,I need to Check on the Perimeter Sensors,I'll be Right Back," Fred mentioned,as He opened the Door,And,Left the Van.

Daphne watched Him Leave,as She awaited his Return.

That was When.

The Door,From the Other Side Opened,And,Hebediah Grim stood Outside of It.

"Now,You shall be Judged," Hebediah Grim yelled Out,as He reached His Hand Out to Her.

Daphne stayed Frozen,In Her Seat,Not Moving,Waiting for Him to get Close Enough,Before turning to Him,Revealing Her to be Scooby.

"Don't Judge Me,Because,I'm Beautiful," Scooby joked,as He batted his Eyes at Hebediah Grim.

"Huh," Hebediah Grim responded,In Surprise,Finding Out,It was,Just Scooby,In Daphne's Clothes,And,With a Wig.

Scooby kissed Hebediah Grim's Cheek,Antagonistically,as He Smiled at Hebediah Grim,And,Giggled.

Hebediah Grim as He felt Him,Kiss his Cheek.

Scooby stuck his Tongue Out at Him,as the Van's Back Doors burst Open,And,Scooby launched Backwards,Out of the Van,By a Rope.

Hebediah Grim got,Into the Van,as He climbed,Over the Front Seat,Into the Back,With His Hammer in Hand.

He got,Over the Front Seat,And,Walked Straight towards the Van Exit,as He,Unknowingly,Stepped on a Wire.

Which made the Mystery Machine launch Up,Onto It's Engine,Forcing Hebediah,Up,Into the Air

Hebediah Screamed as He flew Up,Into the Air,All the Way Up to a Tree,Where a Little Bell hanged Over Hebediah's Head.

Hebediah's Hat hit the Bell,Making It Ring,as It sprang the Other Traps.

As Hebediah started to Fall,Multiple Boxing Gloves flew Out of the Trees,Straight into Hebediah.

Other Ones came at Him,Punching Him,In the Stomach,And,Then,Back,Again.

Hebediah Grunted as Each One hit Him.

One Last One came Up,From the Ground,Punching Him,Right into a Pillory,That,Locked Him in,The Moment,He got into It,as Another Pillory came,From Behind,And,Locked In,On his Ankles,Completely Trapping Him,as He,Now,Hanged,From the Pillories.

Brad,Judy and the Rest of the Gang stepped Out,Into the Open,Seeing,That,Hebediah Grim was,Now Trapped.

"See,Daphne,He can't Judge You,Now," Fred commented.

"No,But,I can," Hebediah Grim #2 informed,as He Walked,Out of the Trees,Into the Open,While,Holding his Hammer.

"Not So Fast,First,I'd like You to Meet a Couple of Friends,That's Auckland," Fred added,Calmly,as He introduced Him to Part of the Trap.

Hebediah Grim #2 lurched,Towards Daphne,With his Hammer Raised,as He tried to hit Her with It.

Suddenly.

Daphne was pulled Backwards,Into the Forest,Away from Hebediah Grim,By a Second Rope.

"Huh," Hebediah murmured to Himself,as He heard a Strange Cranking Sound,And,Looked Underneath Him.

As the Ground launched,Hebediah 2,Into the Air as He flew,All the Way Up,To the Bell,Where his Hat touched It,Releasing the Boxing Gloves,Onto Him.

Making Them punch Him,In the Stomach and Back,Repeatedly,Before Punching Him,Into a Third Pillory,Which Locked in,On his Head and Hands,While,Another One came,And,Locked on his Ankles,as He hanged,From the Pillories,In Front of the Other Hebediah.

Trapping Both Hebediah Grims,Successfully.

"And,That's Brinkle," Fred finished as He put his Fists,On his Hips,And,Looked at Both of Them Trapped,With a Smile.

Daphne and Scooby,Still,Hanging,From Their Ropes,Hanged Side by Side with the Hebediah Grims.

"Looks like,Hebediah Grim won't be Judging Anybody,Now,That,We know,He's Really..." Daphne said,as She hanged Next to the Second Hebediah,Ready to pull Off the Mask.

Scooby and Daphne grasped the Two Hebediah Grims's Masks.

"Gary and Ethan," Scooby announced as Him and Daphne pulled Off Their Masks,Revealing It to be Them.

"Urgh,How did You Know?" Ethan complained,Asking Them,How They knew.

"Yeah,We were,Like,Totally Sneaky," Gary agreed,Agreeing with Ethan's Complaint,With Anger in his Voice,Thinking,That,They were So Sneaky.

"Not So,Totally,I Afraid," Velma corrected as She approached the Two of Them.

"The Odd Indentations in Hebediah Grim's Footprints turned Out to be Soccer Cleat Marks," Louis listed.

"Yep,And,Gary's Chat Video was Pre-Recorded,I hacked your Laptop,And,Found the Original Recordings,You pop Up a Minute Later," Velma eludicated,Explaining the Flaw,In Their Plans.

"Two Missing Costumes meant,There could be Two Hebediah Grims," Fred continued.

"And,Like,Worst of All,You Guys tried to frame Doogle McGuiness,By putting a Yearbook on his Porch,Ethan's Yearbook," Shaggy finished,Finishing Up the Explataion of,How They knew.

"So,Judge That,You Losers,Booyah,Who wants to Judge Me,Now,Huh,Who? You want to Judge Me? You? In Your Face,Yeah," Velma cheered,Excitedly,So Excited to have ruined Their Scheme,as She got in Ethan and Gary's Faces.

"Velma,You're Scaring Me," Scooby warned as He hung,Beside Her,Quivering with How Excited,She was.

"The Real Question is,Why,Why did You Guys do It?" Fred wondered,Wondering,What Ethan and Gary's Reasons were.

"Girls,Duh," Both Boys replied,In Unison.

"We wanted to Terrify Them,And,Then,Rescue Them,So,They'd fall for Us,Just like the Knights did,In the Old West,Before the Dragons went Away," Gary explained.

"Yeah,Knights terrorized,Then,Saved Damsels to Score Dates with Them,All the Time," Ethan notified.

"Huh,I never thought about It,That Way," Fred responded,Taking Knights and Princesses,In a Whole New Way.

"I'm not So Sure,That's,How They did It," Louis pointed Out.

"But,Why did you Both dress Up?" Daphne questioned,as She swinged to Their Other Side.

"We don't trust Each Other,Tag-Teaming was the Only Option," Ethan answered.

"But,Why Attack Me? I'm not a Girl," Louis asked,Wondering Why,They attacked Him,The First Time.

"Dude,We Both Hate You,Neither,One of Us like You,Seemed the Best Way to get You Back," Ethan retorted.

"And,We would have gotten Away with It,If Any of You Mystery Stink Losers had Lives," Gary shouted Out,Angrily.

All of a Sudden.

Sheriff Stone and Mayor Nettles walked Past Them,Walking Together,Side by Side.

"Wow,Like,Mayor Nettles,Sheriff Stone,That was Fast,How'd You Two know We had Solved the Mystery? Like,Were You on Another Stakeout?" Shaggy proclaimed,Asking Them,How They knew,Before Guessing,How They Knew,as He raised an Eyebrow,Suspiciously.

"Yes,Exactly,Another Stakeout," Mayor Nettles lied,Nervously,Trying to get Them,To not Figure It Out.

"So,Why are You wearing his Hat?" Velma interrogated,Plainly.

"Well,It's a,Uh,Disguise,Let's get Out of Here," Sheriff Stone made Up,Before Whispering to Her,For Them,To Just Leave,Before Things got Any Worse.

"Hey Shaggy,You wanna Hang Out,Once I get Down,From Here?" Scooby offered,as He,Still,Hanged From the Rope.

"Like,Sure,Scoob,I would Love To," Shaggy agreed,Getting Very Excited to hang Out with his Best Bud,Again.

But,Something Puzzled Shaggy.

Why was He,Just Suddenly Asking?

Shaggy looked Around,And,Saw Louis,There,Leaning Against the Mystery Machine,Smiling at Him,as He gave Shaggy a Wink.

Shaggy Smiled,Right Back at Him,Before,Winking,Too,as He figured Out the Answer to his Question.

Louis had told Him,And,Now,Shaggy was getting,Exactly,What He wanted.

Simultaneously.

Fred walked Up to his Parents.

"Thanks for All your Help,Guys,I mean That,We couldn't have solved This Mystery,Without You," Fred stated,Making Clear,How Much He meant It,as He admitted,That,They couldn't have solved It,Without Them.

"No,Son,You could have,Easily,Solved This,Without Us," Brad admitted as He put his Hand,On Fred's Shoulder.

"Brad's Right,Fred," Judy added.

"Thank You,Judy," Brad thanked.

"Your Welcome,Brad,You Know,Fred,The Real Secret of This Trap,We sprung,Tonight,Is No Secret,At All," Judy replied,as She started to Admit Something.

"We,Just Wanted to Work on It,Closely,With You,Our Son," Brad confessed as Him and Judy gathered,Around Fred,And,Hugged Him,To Them,Doing a Family Hug.

Fred Smiled as They hugged,So Happy,To Know,That,His Real Family was Okay,In his Book.

At the Same Time.

From Afar.

Someone was watching Fred,Brad and Judy,Through Binoculars.

And,The Person was,None Other than Cassidy.

Cassidy narrowed Her Eyes as Fred's Parents as She lowered her Binoculars,And Watched.

Later,That Night.

At Shaggy's House.

While,Shaggy and Scooby were Out,Hanging Out with Each Other,Louis had rolled Home,By Himself,To get Some Shut Eye.

He,Now,Rolled into Him and Scooby's Room,To Go to Sleep.

When,Suddenly,His Vision started to Blur,Again.

But,It was Different,This Time.

It was Worse.

Louis could feel his Head Spinning,Along with the Vision Blurring.

And,Before Louis could shake It Off,He Fell Off his Wheelchair,To the Ground,Collapsing.

He had Fainted.

However,He hadn't done It,Himself.

Something had forced Him to Faint,So,He could,Finally,Be Able to talk to Him.

During his Faint

"Louis,Louis," The Voice called,Out Loud,This Time.

Louis hearing,His Voice,Slowly,Opened his Eyes.

When He,Fully,Opened Them,He saw,That,He was Face to Face with a Cat.

And,It wasn't a House Cat.

It was a Jaguar.

Louis Screamed,In Alarm,as He sat Up.

"Don't be Scared,I am not Here to hurt You," The Jaguar reassured.

"Oh My Gosh,You,Just Talked," Louis yelled,In Surprise.

The Jaguar Sighed as He heard That.

"This shouldn't be Surprising,You're Friends with a Talking Dog," The Jaguar reminded.

"Well,Yeah,But," Louis tried to Say.

Before the Jaguar,Interrupted Him.

"We don't have Time for This,I'm on a Time Crunch," The Jaguar warned.

"Wh-What do You Mean,Who are You?" Louis questioned,In Confusion.

"I am Spot,You can Call Me,Spot," Spot introduced.

"Spot?" Louis repeated.

"Yeah?" Spot answered.

"What's going On?" Louis asked,With Concern,In his Voice.

"I can't Say Much,It is Listening,All I can Say is,That,You and your Friends are in Grave Danger," Spot explained,In a Serious Tone.

Louis froze Up as He sat Speechless.

Not Knowing,What to Say.

He had So Many Questions.

Like,Who was Spot?

Why was He Contacting Him,Of All People?

What was the "It" He was talking About?

Where was We?

And,What the Heck was going On?

All Questions,He couldn't bring Himself to Say.

It was Official.

Things had,Just Gotten Interesting.
