SCOOBY SHOW
"Come on, the water is good" Jessica yelled while her friend Stephanie was on the beach watching her
"No way, you know I hate to wet my hair and besides, you saw the time" answered Stephanie
"What? You are not going to tell me that you are afraid to bathe at midnight"
"It's just that lately I don't dare to swim at night"
"Don't tell me you believe this ghost diver story?" Said Jessica laughing
"Well, yes and I think you should do the same." In any case, I'm going home" said Stephanie leaving the beach
"Alright do as you want, I'm staying here" screamed Jessica while swimming a little further
After a few minutes, Jessica made up her mind to head back to the beach when a strange yellow and green light appeared under the water just where Jessica was. Jessica looked around when something grabbed her leg. Before I had time to say anything, Jessica was dragged to the bottom of the water.
The next day, Stephanie's family had decided to go to the beach to relax. They had a hard life when they lost their son a few years ago. But when they arrived there, Stephanie's dad pointed out something
"Steph isn't that your friend? "He said pointing to someone lying on the beach
Stephanie, astonished, went to see the person and began to scream. In front of her was Jessica's dead body with a head that showed that what had done to her had scared her.
CAPTAIN CUTLER
Shaggy woke up with a start in his bed. Once again, he had had a nightmare: his fridge was empty. Scooby-Doo, his dog looked at him before smiling at him, understanding what had happened
"It's okay Shaggy, the fridge is still full. It was just a dream "Scooby said, pulling back the curtains so that daylight could enter the bedroom.
"Thanks Scooby. Fortunately, you are here to reassure me because since last week I have not been able to sleep well. Damn possessed house." Shaggy said stretching out to wake up calmly.
" I understand you. This house terrified me too, but we would have to find a way to relax in order to sleep better the next few times "said Scooby as he went to drink from his bowl.
"Hey I have an idea" Shaggy said looking out the window. "We could take advantage of this time to go to the beach"
"I've never been to the beach" said Scooby excitedly.
"Alrighty then. We're gonna have a great picnic in Venice Beach. Go get the picnic kit!" Shaggy said jumping out of bed to get dressed.
"Scooby-Doo! "The dog yelled before opening the cupboard where there was a basket containing no less than 3 kg of food
Shaggy put on his swimsuit and brown shorts as well as his famous green t-shirt. After having a big breakfast, our two friends went to the beach on foot. The beach was only a 15-minute walk away but luckily Shaggy had a sandwich for the road. But as soon as they got to the beach, Sammy and Scooby were stopped by a policeman
"Sorry kids, the beach is closed for today" said the officer
"What?! But why ?" Shaggy asked disappointed
" Something happened. Go home now "said the agent before heading back to the beach
Upon observing more closely, Scooby was sure he saw some kind of corpse on the beach. It looked like a brunette girl with a tattoo on her right arm.
"Oh damn it's Jessica, she was in the same school as myself though she was out of school when I was just starting out. She must be like 5 years older than me." Shaggy said after hearing the description of the girl Scooby had seen.
"Sorry Shaggy. I didn't know it was your girlfriend "said Scooby looking down
"What? Oh no don't worry, she wasn't my girlfriend, I barely knew her. I only had one girlfriend a year ago at my old school her name was Dusk. But hey that's not the most important thing, we have to find something else to do, "said Shaggy, walking with Scooby to a street when someone called out to them.
"Shaggy? Scooby?" Said the young man
"Fred?" Shaggy said turning around. "Like what are you doing here? "
"I am accompanying Velma and Daphne shopping," said Fred as the two girls came out of a store with bags of clothes.
"Shaggy! Scooby!" Daphne said running towards Scooby to stroke him
"It's so cool to see you guys here" Shaggy smiled before blushing briefly when he saw Velma blushing too.
"What about you, what are you doing here?" Asked Fred
"We kind of wanted to go to the beach and ..."
"You too, they forbade you to go" said Fred interrupting Shaggy.
"Poor Jessica" said Daphne with a sigh.
"Did you see Jessica too?" Said Sammy
"Yeah. It's horrible what happened to him. According to my father she would have had a kind of heart attack while swimming "said Fred
"Fred's father works in the police" said Velma seeing that Shaggy was going to ask how his father knew that.
"But how can you do a fart attack while swimming?" Asked Scooby
"Not a fart but a heart attack, Scooby" said Velma laughing.
" Scooby is still right it's impossible ... unless she saw something" Shaggy said starting to shake.
"But there are no sharks around here," Scooby said, shaking as well.
"Mmmmh maybe we should investigate," said Fred
"What?! No way dude. I've had enough nightmare with this possessed house so I don't want to face a possessed shark. Besides, we're just kids. I'm like 8 years old man and I've been traumatized enough for a lifetime after what happened last week " Shaggy said crossing his arms remembering what had happened. past Halloween day
Seeing that Shaggy was exhausted, Velma put her hand on his shoulder so that he could breathe calmly. Shaggy began to have a few tears before hugging Velma. Velma was a little surprised but she decided to give him a hug as well.
"Thanks Velma I needed it," Shaggy said stopping the hugging while Scooby looked at Shaggy smiling. "Okay let's like solve this mystery then"
The gang waited until the end of the day for the police to leave and go quietly to the beach
"Obviously the police must have taken the corpse. We won't find much "said Daphne as Scooby sniffed the ground.
"Yuck it stinks of sulfur" said Scooby, sniffing the place where Jessica's body lay.
"Sulfur? "Said Fred going to inspect the place Scooby was talking about.
"Like I don't know what sulfur is but I'm sure you don't usually find it like that," Shaggy said.
"It's a chemical element Shaggy " said Velma
"Wow there are some people who are smarter than most 8 year olds" said Shaggy laughing with Scooby
"All of this cannot come naturally from water. Someone did that to her "said Velma
"Someone ... or something" Shaggy said pointing to a strange yellowish light in the water.
A strange shape slowly came out of the water, it was a deep-sea diver with a strong yellow light around it. The man walked slowly towards the gang.
"Zoinks!" Shaggy yelled
"What?" asked Scooby looking at Shaggy
"Oh Zoinks that's one of my expressions," Shaggy laughed before remembering the man. "Now Fred if you don't mind, I am out of here"
As Shaggy and Scooby made their way to a lifeguard hut, Fred, Velma, and Daphne ran to another building. The strange man entered the cabin when suddenly Shaggy and Scooby were behind a desk in first aid gear.
"Ah Johnny there you are finally. We were waiting for you for the lifeguard post " Shaggy said as Scooby put a lifeline around the man.
"Here's your outfit, sir," Scooby said as the man let it go, not understanding what was going on.
"So we'll teach you how to be a real lifeguard," Shaggy said as he walked outside with the man. "The technique is to run slow with the hair blowing in the wind. Show him Scooby "
Scooby started to run in slow motion on the beach holding a buoy as his blonde wig moved in the wind
" Magnificent ! Your turn now !" Shaggy said leaving the man alone who shrugged before running too
After a brief moment, the man realized he looked silly and when he turned around he saw that Shaggy and Scooby were missing. He screamed before making his way back to the beach by stepping back into the water
"Wow how did you do that?" Said Daphne leaving her hiding place
"Well... uhhh... how did we do that Scooby?" Shaggy asked as he stepped out of a sandcastle where he had been hiding
"I don't know," Shaggy said laughing as he got out of a trash can.
"Who was this patient?" Shaggy asked as he watched the yellow light in the water begin to fade.
"No idea but I think it's time to ask someone," said Fred.
The next day, the gang met again in the school canteen. Even though dogs weren't allowed in school, Shaggy still had Scooby with him. Scooby was still hidden in his satchel.
"Did you hear the news?" Daphne asked while Shaggy shrugged.
"Stephanie's boyfriend died during the night. He would have died the same way as Jessica by bathing during the night shortly after we left "said Velma.
"Johny Stein is dead ?! Poor Stephanie. Already she lost her little brother a few years ago "said Shaggy
"It can't be a coincidence. It seems that this ghost is attracted to Stephanie and her relatives. After school, we'll go pay him a little visit "said Fred.
After class, as Fred had said, the gang rang the doorbell of the Cutler family home. It was Stephanie who opened the door.
"Stephanie Cutler? My name is Fred. We would like to ask you a few questions about what happened "
" Go away ! Anyway nobody believes me! You wouldn't believe what I would tell you "Stephanie yelled as she closed the door before being interrupted by Scooby.
"Believe me we believe in a lot of weird stuff" said Scooby
Stephanie was at first surprised by Scooby but after seeing that he could speak, she let the others in.
"So what do you think of all this?" Asked Velma taking her notepad.
"Did you see this diver?" Stephanie asked before noticing that Shaggy and Scooby were shaking. "Seeing your friends I think so. Well that's ... my brother "
"Like what?" Shaggy yelled
"The truth is my brother did not drown as the police reported. We lied to them. I was with Jessica and Johnny when my brother died." Said Stephanie. "While we were playing truth or dare, we saw an old outfit on the deck at the beach. Johnny said my brother couldn't put it on. My brother couldn't refuse a challenge because he was only 6 years old and he tried to put it on but the wetsuit was too heavy for him and he fell in the water with the outfit and he drowned " she said before starting to cry
"You think like your brother is behind it all" said Shaggy
"And he would kill those responsible for his death" said Fred
"It means you're next" said Daphne
"I could never apologize to my brother for not preventing him from doing this stupid challenge" said Stephanie, crying
"Maybe ... if we get your brother, we could stop this ghost" said Velma
After a long discussion, the gang decided to return to the beach in the evening with Stephanie. Scooby was tasked with fetching the ghost from the water in exchange for a Scooby Snack.
"Okay, we just have to catch that ghost," said Fred preparing himself with a net.
After a brief moment, the yellow light appeared and the diver emerged from the water, walking slowly towards his sister. Fred threw the net at him but the ghost tore it open in a second before grabbing Stephanie towards the water.
"Quick guys, we have to save her" said Fred trying to attack the ghost but remained still looking at his sister before he started to strangle her
That's when Scooby came out of the water, pulling a body out of the water. Seeing the dog, the diver let go of his sister and watched the dog pull the dead body of young Tom Cutler towards the others. Falling to the ground, Stephanie saw and Scooby and rushed towards her brother's body.
"Oh my god my poor Tom" said Stephanie, crying, hugging her dead little brother. "I'm so sorry for all of this. I should have stopped you. I'm sorry little brother »she said giving a kiss on his cold forehead.
With these words, the diver knelt looking at his sister
"I forgive you" he said before disappearing
The rest of the gang walked over to Stephanie before giving her a hug
"You made it Stephanie. All your brother wanted was your apology." Said Velma
"Well done Scooby" said Shaggy stroking his dog's head.
The next day, the Cutler family and the rest of the gang were at the cemetery to bury Tom's body. Stephanie, wanting to say a last word, approached her brother's grave, tears in her eyes.
"Tom, you always wanted to be a captain and well I can tell you that for me you will always be my super little brother. You are a real Captain Cutler now. I love you Tom "she said before pulling back as each person placed a flower on the grave
After the funeral, the gang went to a milkshake store.
"What a story" said Daphne with a sigh
"I'm traumatized again but like I'm happy for Stephanie" said Shaggy stroking his dog's head.
"I think we did a great job," said Fred. "Now we know that if there is ever something paranormal, we can manage"
"I will be there with you Fred" said Daphne holding his hand.
"I think I could help too" said Velma smiling.
"Well, I'm already traumatized so you might as well help you" Shaggy said smiling at Velma. "What about you Scooby ol' buddy ol' pal?" "
"Well I say let's Scooby-Dooby-Doo it" said Scooby licking Shaggy in the face
