The Scooby gang cheered and high fived after successfully solving another mystery. "That was awesome." Shaggy said chest bumping Scooby-Doo.

"Yeah!" Daphne said.

"Another mystery bites the dust." Velma said crossing her arms.

"Way to go, gang." Fred said giving a thumbs up.

"Let's celebrate." Daphne said throwing her hands in the air.

"Yeah, celebrate. Huh?" Scooby said before Sheriff Stone locked the jail cell research gang was in.

"Better idea." Sheriff Stone said.

"Oh, come on, sheriff." Fred said. Daphne had her hands on her hip, and Velma had her arms crossed.

"Just cork it. You see this badge? Know why it's here?" Sheriff Stone asked pointing to the badge on his shirt.

"It came with the shirt." Velma said like it was obvious. Sheriff Stone looked annoyed still pointing at his badge.

"It's here because if there's a crime, I solve it." he said walking to the door. "Oh, and by the way I've called all your parents who by now I have on speed dial. Are you in trouble? Especially you, Fred. Say hi to Dad, the mayor." he added. Daphne and Velma had their hands on the bars of the jail cell, Fred had his arms dangling from one of the bars, and Shaggy was petting Scooby.

"Just once it would be nice if someone thanked us for solving a mystery." Daphne said.

"Good thing we're not in this to be liked." Fred said. Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby looked at Fred angry. "You know, that didn't come out quite right." Fred said. They looked away from him, Shaggy petting Scooby again.

~With Velma~

"Welcome to the Crystal Cove Haunted Tour. I'm your ghoulish guide, Velma. The first documented case of Crystal Cove is from 1630 when a garrison of Spanish conquistadors mysteriously vanished from the harbor." Velma said bored.

"Oh, that is so scary. Where did they go?" a woman said.

"What part of the word 'mystery' didn't you understand? The curse struck again in 1765 when an entire town of missionaries likewise disappeared." Velma said walking away.

"Oh!" all six tourists said.

"Oh, my gosh." a man said.

"Anyway, things were pretty quiet until a hundred years later  when Cletus Darrow found gold here and renamed the town Crystal Cove. People thought the curse had been lifted until the entire Darrow family disappeared one Halloween, and was never seen again." Velma said pressing a button on a recorder. The recording was of a woman screaming. All of the tourists gasped.

"Moving on. Since the disappearance of the Darrow family Crystal Cove has been a hub of paranormal activity. You might recognize some of our more famous visitors. Ghostly deep-sea diver Captain Cutler. Miner '49er. Charlie the Haunted Robot. And who could forget the terrifying stylings of Space Kook. Not me." Velma said pointing at each of the gang's old mysteries.

"Oh, how frightening." a man said.

"Oh. Absolutely bloodcurdling." the woman said.

"Not really. They all turned out to be fakes." Velma said.

"What?" the tourists said surprised.

"Are you kidding?" a man said.

"Yup. Captain Cutler was just some guy who was hijacking boats. Miner '49er's real name was Hank. Charlie belonged to Mr. Jenkins who bought it would be easier to run an amusement part with a crazy robot. And Space Kook? Oh, don't get me started. Oop!" Velma said her parents covering her mouth at the end.

"Thank you, Velma. Well, that concludes the terror-rific tour." Velma's dad said.

"Don't forget to stop in at the Haunted Snack Shop for souvenirs and your complimentary undead supper cup." Velma's mom said.

The tourists started chattering.

"What do you think you were doing?" her mom said taking her hand off of Velma's mouth along with her dad.

"Are you trying to destroy our business?" her dad asked.

"Reboot, parentals, I was just being honest." Velma said crossing her arms.

"Those were isolated incidents in Crystal Cove's otherwise unblemished supernatural past of hauntings and paranormal happenings." her dad said.

"Your generation's belief, not mine. My generation, we only got one thing on our minds." Velma said.

~With Fred~

"Solving mysteries and building traps." Fred said fixing his ascot.

"That's two things, Fred." Mayor Jones said.

"You know what I mean, dad. We just want answers. Is that wrong?" Fred asked looking at his dad.

"Tickling chin whiskers, Fred. The mayors son is to set an example." Mayor Jones said.

"I'm trying, Dad. Just yesterday I entered one of my traps in the District Science Fair. It was rejected for not having anything to do with science, but. " Fred started before his dad interrupted him.

"I just don't want you to make a mistake you'll regret." Mayor Jones said placing his hands on Fred's shoulders.

"You mean like making a bad trap?" Fred asked.

"No, life is not all about traps. It's also about." Mayor Jones started.

~With Shaggy and Scooby~

"Pancakes, and bacon." Scooby said.

"And sausages, and orange juice." Shaggy said. Both Shaggy and  Scooby ate the first pancake. Scooby's had sausages, while Shaggy's had fish. Shaggy gave Scooby a bowl with beans, and Scooby gave Shaggy a cupcake.

"Don't forget to chew." Shaggy's mom said.

"And breathe." Shaggy's dad said.

"Mm. Ha, ha. Like, thanks, Mom and Dad." Shaggy said.

"Yeah, thanks, Mom and Dad." Scooby said.

"Your mother and I are worried about this mystery phase you're going through. We're not saying find new friends, we're." Shaggy's dad started before getting interrupted.

"Yes, we are. Find new friends." Shaggy's mom said.

"Oh, ha. You guys have got nothing to worry about, man. Me and Scoob always play it safe. If there's danger." Shaggy started.

"We run. Fast. Really fast." Scooby finished.

"And as for our friends, if you guys just give them a change, you'd see." Shaggy said.

~With Daphne~

"The gang is misunderstood. We're just solving mysteries. All the kids are doing it." Daphne said sitting on a couch drinking tea.

"No, they're not." both of her parents said.

"And what's about this Fred Jones? Certainly, there must be other boys." Daphne's mom said.

"Not like Fred. He's like one of those geniuses that no one understands until they're dead. He sees things different, and he want to catch those different things in his traps." Daphne said standing up.

"Honey, we just want you to go on to have a rich career like your sisters." Daphne's dad said motioning to Daphne's four sisters. Fred honks the horn on the Mystery Machine getting Daphne's attention.

"Oh, that Fred and the gang. Gotta go. Don't wanna be late for school. Bye, Mom. Bye, Dad. Bye, Daisy, bye, Dawn. Bye, Dorothy, bye, Delilah." Daphne said.

~In The Sewers~

"Hey, you sure you guys don't want any of this Fruitmeir's smoothie? Oh, it deli... Aah!" a construction man said going through a wall that appeared to be broken. "What the? Who's? Which one of you broke that wall?" he asked.

"Well, we barely touched it." another construction man said.

"Is that another sewer?" the last one asked.

"Impossible, there's only one sewer and were in it, unless..." the first one said.

"We've broken into another dimension?" the second asked.

"No, idiot, we busted through to one of the old Crystal Cove caves." the first one said. The three construction men went into the cave exploring it. They got to six waste buckets with a sign above them saying 'DANGER'. The second construction man tries to open one of the waste buckets. A growling noise came from the waste bucket he tried to open.

"Huh? I think there's something in there. What should we do?" he asked.

"It's pretty clear, isn't it? Those are radioactive symbols, meaning what's ever inside is dangerous. Meaning, we need to open it right away. Don't want what's ever in there to mess up our schedule." the first one said.

The second one started opening it with a hammer. "Hey, I think I see something..." the second one said. There was a growling before the three men started screaming.

~With The Gang~

Fred drove the Mystery Machine to get to school. Scooby-Doo is panting, and Daphne and Velma looked at him. Velma is sitting across from Shaggy in the back, while Scooby, Daphne, and Fred is in the front.

"Why didn't you text me last night? I waited up for you." Velma asked Shaggy.

"Um, like, me and Scoob ordered a pizza and ten we just fell asleep watching a Vincent VanGhoul movie." Shaggy said.

"Okay, apology accepted. But I still missed you." Velma said moving to sit next to Shaggy trying to kiss him. Shaggy whimpers moving away from Velma.

"Not here, Velma. Not in public." Shaggy said.

"Why? Daphne and Fred are going to find out sooner or later." Velma said.

"I'm not worried about them. It's Scooby-Doo, he's my best friend. I want to break it to him, like, gently. I'm just waiting for the right time." Shaggy said.

"How about now? Hey, Scooby..." Velma said before the top to the sewer flew up into the sky. The gang screamed. A creature starts growling walking weirdly to the Mystery Machine. Daphne gasps rolling the window up on the side Scooby is on. The creature puts its hand on the window Daphne just rolled up while growling. The whole gang gasps moving away from the window.

"Zoinks! Like, what was that?" Shaggy asked.

"It looks like a mystery to me and I think that's just a little more important than school." Fred said getting out of the van running to where the creature was.

~In The Sewers~

The gang walks into the cave the construction men found. They find the six waste buckets with the sign over them.

"These are military. From the oxidation, probably 30, 40 years old." Velma said.

Daphne moved the flashlight around the cave and spotted something shiny.

"Hey. Fred, I found something." Daphne said. She opened the magnifying glass shaped locket and soft music started playing from it.

"Hmm. Could be a clue. Good work, Daphne." Fred said.

"Thanks, Fred. You're so sweet." Daphne said smiling before she realized that Fred was walking away. "It's ok, we can talk later. Uh." Daphne said. Scooby started sniffing around the cave. Shaggy found one of the constitution men's helmet. The gang looked up finding the three construction men cocooned by some kind of goo. Scooby starts whimpering, then screams.

~In Front Of City Hall~

"All right, you see what happens when you kids stick your noses where they don't belong? People get cocooned." Sheriff Stone said.

"Like, man, we found them like that." Shaggy said.

"Sheriff, there was a monster..." Daphne got interrupted.

"Quiet. From this point forward this is a crime scene and future tourist attraction. Stay out of it." Sheriff Stone says walking away.

"I got his 'stay out of it' right here." Velma said.

"Let me talk to him." Fred said walking to Sheriff Stone.

"Don't worry, Fred will make him understand." Daphne said.

"Shaggy, start the car." Fred said running with one of the cocooned men.

"Like, I thought you were going to talk to him." Shaggy said running along with Scooby.

"He wasn't in a listening mood." Fred said.

"So you stole a body? Rocking." Velma said opening the back of the van along with Daphne. Fred throws the body in the back of the van. Shaggy starts driving away after Fred gets in.

"Don't worry. I know just who can help us." Fred said.

~At School~

"All right, who can tell me what photosynthesis is?" the teacher asks. Everyone raises their hand. "And please don't say plant farts." he adds. Everyone put their hand down. The teacher sighed. Shaggy and Fred brought the cocooned body into the classroom.

"Professor Raffalo, we need your help." Fred said. Everyone, but the gang, runs out of the classroom screaming.

"Couldn't you kids have waited for break?" Professor Raffalo asked annoyed.

The gang gathered around the table the cocooned body was on.

"Is he...?" Shaggy asked gulping.

"No, he's alive. But he appears to be in some sort of dehydrated stasis. I don't quite know what this means, but I'm guessing it's temporary." the professor said.

"Mm. Scooby Snacks." Scooby said opening a glass cage, that a squirrel was in, getting the Scooby Snacks. The squirrel screeches at Scooby.

"Do you know what could have done this?" Daphne asks.

"The cocoon material looks organic, but I'll need to do further tests. In, the sheriff okayed this?" the professor asked.

"Uh, of course he did. What do you think, we stole a body? That's rich. Ha, ha." Fred said pushing the rest of the gang out of the classroom.

~At Fruitmeir's~

"Welcome, everyone, to Fruitmeir's. Remember, it's not ice cream, it's not yogurt. Ha. I really don't know what it is. Would anyone like a shrimping boat made out of circus balloons?" Mr. Fruitmeir asks.

"I don't get it, all this fuss over... What is this stuff again?" Velma asks.

"You heard Franklin Fruitmeir, it's a secret, that's why they call it: " Shaggy starts.

"Fruitmeir's." Shaggy and Scooby both say.

"Hey, you know, if that cocoon does turn out to be organic we might have a real, honest to goodness monster in Crystal Cove." Fred said.

"My guess, the cocoon is a multi-called mutation probably a result of radiated allotropes, and free radical implosion. What do you think, Shaggy?" Velma asked looking at Shaggy and holding his hand.

"Uh, I think I want more Fruitmeir's." Shaggy says running into Fruitmeir's.

"Yeah, me too." Scooby says running along with Shaggy.

"Velma, is there something going on between you and Shaggy?" Daphne asks.

"No. Nothing, absolutely nothing. Why would anything ever be going on between me and Shaggy?" Velma asks walking away.

"Well, looks like it's just us. All alone. Maybe we could go for a drive. Talk about that pretty locket I found. I wonder what it would be like to get such a romantic present." Daphne said to Fred.

"Oh, come on, Daphne. You know you don't care about that girlie stuff. That's why we're good friends. I'll drop you at home. I want to get started on a new trap for the monster." Fred says opening the door. Daphne gets in the van disappointed.

"Okay, good luck with that." Daphne mumbles after Fred closes the door. Fred gets in the van driving off. The creature growls.

~With Professor Raffalo~

The professor groans rubbing his eyes. Water sloshes before the professor gasps.

"Is someone there?" he asks walking out of the classroom. He sees the janitor mopping the floor in the hallway. After the professor goes back into his classroom, he screams. The janitor drops the mop running into Raffalo's classroom. The janitor looks around but doesn't see the professor because he's cocooned on the ceiling.

~At K-Ghoul~

Funk music plays over the radio.

"Mm. Yeah, Crystal Cove. That was The Rotten Brains with their single 'Zombie Housewife Blues.' I'm Angel Dynamite, and you're listening to K-Ghoul. 101.4 on your AM dial." Angel says. Shaggy knocks on the door and waves at her. She gets up and walks over to the door. "I was wondering when y'all was gonna show up. He's in the back." Angel says. Shaggy, Scooby, Velma, Daphne, and Angel goes to the back. Angel opens the door, and sees Fred sleeping on the floor.

"Fred, it's us. We're here for you." Daphne says walking over to Fred and places a hand on him. Scooby licks Fred and his hair sticks up to the side.

"It's no use, gang. I was the one who stole the body, and Professor Raffalo paid the price. I should've listened to my dad and stayed out of any new mysteries." Fred said.

"We all helped steal the body, Fred." Velma said.

"Well, I actually never touched... Ow! Okay, fine, yes, we all took part, Freddy." Shaggy said.

"Fred Jones, you've never backed away from a mystery in your life." Daphne said.

"I've got nothing." Fred said.

"Man up, Fred. We still have our first clue, the cocoon. I brought a sample. Scooby, what are you doing?" Velma asked after seeing him eating the cocoon.

"What? It's Fruitmeir's. Yummy." Scooby said.

"Ew." Velma said.

"Check it out. If that dog mutates, I'm putting it down, dig?" Angel asked.

"Like, hold on, I think I get it." Shaggy says walking to Scooby. He dips his finger in the bowl with the cocoon sample and licks his finger.

"Ew." Daphne, Velma, Fred, and Angel said.

"No, you guys, it's Fruitmeir's. The cocoon is made of the same stuff as Fruitmeir's dessert." Shaggy said.

"What?" Everyone, but Shaggy and Scooby, said. The rest of the gang, including Angel, tried the sample of the cocoon to see if it really was Fruitmeir's.

"They're right, but if the cocoon is made of Fruitmeir's dessert..." Daphne started.

"That means if we capture the monster, we can have our own shop. And we can have an endless supply of Fruitmeir's dessert. Oh, boy." Shaggy said.

"No. It means that slime mutant may not be a monster at all. What do we know about Franklin Fruitmeir?" Fred corrected.

"Franklin Fruitmeir showed up in twin out of nowhere two months ago. Before that, nothing. He's hiring right now for female servers." Velma said on the computer with the rest of the gang and Angel around her.

"Then that's our in." Fred said.

"If the girls can get jobs at Fruitmeir's, they can snoop around and find out more." Shaggy said.

"Great idea, Shag." Fred said.

~At Fruitmeir's~

Scooby and Shaggy had a female disguise on. Shaggy's wig was short and the same color as Daphne's hair, and Scooby's wig was long and blonde.

"Um, ha, ha. Like, uh, this isn't exactly what I had in mind. Why are Scooby-Doo and I dressed like girls, when Velma and Daphne are girls?" Shaggy asked.

"Yeah, my skirt's too tight." Scooby said trying to stretch his skirt out.

"Because Velma and I refused." Daphne said. Shaggy and Scooby growled at the girls.

"Good night, ladies. Don't forget to lock up." Mr. Fruitmeir said.

"Good night, Mr. Fruitmeir." Shaggy and Scooby said trying to sound like a females. Mr. Fruitmeir left blowing into a balloon. Daphne, Fred, and Velma peeked from the corner they were hiding at so they wouldn't be seen. They are tip toeing to the front door. Fred knocks on the door, and Shaggy opens it.

"All right, gang, fan out. See if you can find anything that will tie Franklin Fruitmeir to the slime mutant." Fred says before the gang split up looking for clues. Daphne tries to open a locked door.

"Hmm. Must be a key around here somewhere." Daphne says walking away from the door.

"All clear." Scooby says with Fruitmeir's dessert on his face, along with Shaggy.

"Let's check over there, Scoob." Shaggy says pointing a a door that says 'STORAGE' on it. Shaggy tries to open the door. Scooby unlocks the door with a nail, and Shaggy opens the door to see the slime mutant. It growls while Shaggy and Scooby scream.

"Run, Scoob! Aah!" Shaggy yelled. Daphne goes back into that room with the keys, and gasps.

"That's strange. This closet was locked a minute ago. Aah! Hey, what gives? Freddy help. Let me out." Daphne said banging on the door that mysteriously closed and got locked.

"Daphne? Hold on, we'll get you out." Fred says trying to open the door with a hammer with the help of Velma.

"Gangway!" Shaggy yells then screams running to Fred, Velma, and Daphne, Scooby running with him. Baggy and Scooby run into Daphne making her fall into the closet.

"Are you two insane?" Velma asks.

"M-M-Monster! Like, right behind us." Shaggy says.

"Monster? There's no monster." Fred says.

"Jinkies, where's Daphne?" Velma asks.

"Daphne? Daphne?" the gang says.

"Here. I'm down here. I'm okay, but you better get down here. I think I found something." Daphne says.

"This is the same cave we were in the other day." Fred says as Shaggy jumps into the hole leading to the cave.

"It must run right under Fruitmeir's." Velma said.

"And check this out. Someone's been digging." Daphne said pointing to a different hole.

"Hold on a second. According to my GPS program, this hole is only 20 yards from Fruitmeir's. That would put it..." Velma started.

"Directly under Crystal Cove Bank." the rest of the gang, including Velma, says.

"But, dude, like, why would a slime mutant bust a hole through Fruitmeir's to get to a bank?" Shaggy asks.

"Maybe it's hungry." Scooby suggests.

"Yeah. Hungry for money." Fred says.

"I smell a trap coming on." Velma says smirking. The creature growls walking past the waste buckets.

"Hey, ugly. Over here." Fred said getting its attention. It shoots slime, from its hand, at Fred. Fred dodges it. The creature chases Fred still throwing slime at him, and he keeps dodging it.

"No, stupid, over here." Velma says getting its attention.

"Wrong again." Daphne says. The creature growls chasing Daphne.

"Everything set, guys?" Fred asks.

"Ready." Velma and Scooby says.

"Aargh!" the creature says getting closer to the rest of the gang.

"Now." Fred says. Shaggy and Scooby pulls a rope making a bucket lift. After the bucket gets lifted a bowling ball rolls down gutters, the gang got, making it land in a box. The box falls forward landing on wood making a garden gnome fly through the air. A parachute opens once the garden gnome is heading down making it land on a wood that has a watering can tied to rope. The watering can waters a flower. The creature growls.

"Whoa! Oof!" Daphne said slipping on slime the creature made. The creature growls again. Once the flower gets enough water it gets heavier for the wood its on making the wood hit the bottom of another gutter that has a marble on it. The marble hits three targets before being launched into the air hitting another piece of wood making an anvil tied to rope fall, and try to hit the creature. The creature dodges the anvil. The anvil punches against a spring causing scissors to cut the rope making the anvil land in a mine cart.

"This is gonna be awesome." Fred says. The mine cart rolls until it runs out of tracks and hits a cage. The cage moves over the creature falling on it to capture it, but the cage traps the gang. The creature chuckles while the gang gasps. The creature growls. Daphne gasps when she sees her friends are trapped in the creature's slime. The creature growls, then Daphne screams.

"Daphne, run." Velma says. The creature chases Daphne. She gets into Fruitmeir's, the creature following her.

"Eat, gang, it's Fruitmeir's." Fred says as he, Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby starts eating the so called slime. Daphne try's to open the front door, but the creature closes it with its 'slime'. Daphne escapes the creature, before it ties her legs together with the 'slime'. The creature laughs walking toward Daphne.

"Now!" Fred yells.

"Unh!" the creature said getting hit by Fruitmeir's dessert.

"Huh? Fred, you saved me." Daphne says running to Fred.

"Not right now, Daphne. I have to figure out why my trap didn't work." Fred said.

"What is going on here?" Sheriff Stone asks.

"Why is the town's latest tourist attraction cocooned to the wall?" Mayor Jones asks.

"Dad, sheriff, hold on. You don't understand. That is not a monster." Fred says.

"Oh, hopping steamed clams, Fred, then who is it?" Mayor Jones asks.

"Franklin Fruitmeir." the gang says.

"He was trying to rob Crystal Cove Bank." Velma said.

"Uh, that impossible. Franklin Fruitmeir's the one who called us." Sheriff Stone says.

"What?" the gang asks.

"I was making a ship out of circus balloons when the silent alarm rang at my home. Oh, good gracious, what is that?" Mr. Fruitmeir asks.

"But if the monster isn't Franklin Fruitmeir, then, dude, who is it?" Shaggy asks. Scooby takes the mask off to revile Professor Raffalo.

"Professor Emmanuel Raffalo?" the gang says.

"That's right. I was trying to scare people away from the sewers while I dug my way into the bank and got rich." the professor said.

"But you've got a job as a teacher. Why do you need more money?" Daphne asks.

The professor states at her like it's obvious.

"Oh! Ha, ha." the gang says.

"Yeah, my bad." Daphne says.

"I get it." Velma says.

"I discovered that the Crystal Cove caves were connected to the sewer by accident while collecting mold spores for my class. Once I realized the cave led right under the bank I put my plan into motion. Fruitmeir's gave me secret access to the sewer so I decided to frame balloon boy for the crime by using his disgusting dessert. I staged my own disappearance to throw doubt on any hint of my involvement. Oh, it was foolproof. Genius. That is until you..." the professor started.

"Meddling." Sheriff Stone said.

"Meddling, yes. Meddling kids and your blasted dog ruined everything." the professor said. The sheriff started to take the professor to jail.

"Wait, what about this locket we found where you were digging?" Daphne asked the professor.

"Never seen it before." Professor Raffalo said.

"All right, well, I guess we owe you kids thanks. You did save the bank. Although you also lost the town a serious revenue stream. A stream of revenue." Sheriff Stone says.

~At K-Ghoul~

Funk music plays over a radio.

"You okay, Daph?" Fred asks.

"I just don't get it. If this locket didn't belong to Professor Raffalo, then who?" Daphne asks before the phone at K-Ghoul rings.

"Like, K-Ghoul 101.4, what can we scare up for you, Daddy-o? Ha, ha." Shaggy answers.

"You're all doomed." a man said.

"Like, uh... Ha, ha. Like, who is this?" Shaggy asks.

"You can call me Mr. E. You should never have brought that locket out of the cave. You don't know what you uncovered." Mr. E says.

"Uncovered? Uncovered what?" Daphne asks.

"A truth that should have remained hidden. The truth behind the curse of Crystal Cove. The real mystery has just begun." Mr. E said.

"Scooby-Dooby-Doo." Scooby said.
