Babysitting Disaster

Author's Notes:

Well hello folks, here we are once again in another cinematic adventure. I have missed you all and I hope you’ve missed me as well. As always thank you to my proof reader Dramamaster829 for helping me out with this story as well as the rest of my administration. Also thank you to all my loyal readers who have been with us since the first chapter in Oz and are still with us now as well as those reading for the first time.

Now let’s get to it.

In the land of Equestria, there was nothing but happy times as the giant, glowing sun sat high above the mountains overlooking Ponyville. It’s colorful denizens walked about the streets of their tiny town, many going about their daily lives. The Cakes opened ‘Sugar Cube Corner’ for business, while Rarity opens her boutique as a small crowd of patrons stroll in. It wouldn’t be long before it grows, and the business is swamped with hundreds of customers. Of all the ponies in town that day, there was perhaps one pony busier than all the others.

Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship, rushed around the castle trying her hardest to clean as much as possible in a short amount of time. Her indigo eyes went wide as she galloped through every room all around her home. Her little assistant, Spike, ran after her as fast as his little legs could carry him. But no matter how fast he ran, the little dragon was unable to keep up with her. Eventually, he stopped to catch his breath.

“You know… Twilight…” Spike panted, between breaths. “I’m sure… We’ve got… Everything cleaned… Enough… Boy, I’m out of shape…”

Whether Twilight was simply oblivious to his words or chose to ignore it, the princess kept running around obsessively cleaning whatever she could. Even the areas that were already ‘clean’.

“Oh!” Twilight gasped. “Did I remember to clean every floor tile in this hall?”

In a split second, she used her magic to conjure a bucket of water and a sponge, scrubbing each individual floor tile as Spike looked on, shaking his head.

“Seriously Twilight?” Spike asked, in disbelief.

The moment Twilight looked up, Spike was taken aback by the crazy look in her eyes, barely covered by her untamed mane. The sight alone was more than enough to make the baby dragon reel back in fear.

“Yes seriously, Spike! Cadence and Shining Armor will be here any minute; this place isn’t even “close” to ready!”

Then a knock at the door caused the lavender alicorn to jump and gasp.

“Oh no!” Twilight cried. “They’re here already!”

The door opens and to her relief it was her friends walking in. Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie, a familiar sight for a rather distressed princess.

“Morning Twilight!” The girls greeted.

“Oh, hey guys!” Twilight sighed, somewhat calmly. “It’s just you.”

“Yeah, nice to see you too, Twi,” Rainbow joked.

Twilight ignored the joke, resuming her incessant cleaning on the tiles. The others casually trot over to Spike, gazing at him with knowing looks.

“She’s at it again, ain’t she?” Applejack asked, bluntly.

“Yep,” Spike nodded. “She’s been cleaning this place ever since Cadence and Shining Armor asked her to babysit.”

“Wasn’t that like three days ago?” Pinkie asked.

“Three… days… Of cleaning!” Little Spike emphasized, nodding his head. “She hasn’t stopped since.”

The others merely shook their heads, watching their magical friend work herself to death… Again.

“All right, I’m bored,” Rainbow sighed. “Let’s get her to stop.”

Every pony nodded in agreement, as they walk toward Twilight Sparkle, who mumbled something about ‘must be perfect’. Rarity uses her magic to levitate the bucket and sponge away from Twilight, who turned frantically.

“Hey, give that back!” Twilight cried out.

WHACK!

Twilight Sparkle received a much-needed slap in the face, courtesy of Applejack. The alicorn’s head snapped to the side from the impact. But when it returns, she seemed much more relaxed.

“Oh, thank you, A.J.,” Twilight breathed heavily. “I needed that.”

“No problem,” Applejack replied, patting her friend’s back.

Twilight sits on her haunches along the floor, breathing heavily. Rarity sits beside her friend, while fixing up her mane with a comb. Because Celestia knows, that little detail was going to bother the fashionista.

“Twilight dear, you look like an absolute mess!” Rarity said, worriedly. “Why must you do this to yourself?”

Twilight managed to calm down enough to properly explain.

“It’s just that’s it’s been a while since I babysat Flurry Heart. Last time, things didn’t exactly go according to plan. Flurry managed to cause trouble, but it was only because I wasn’t paying attention to her and not excusing the fact I ‘yelled’ at her! I never forgave myself after that; now that I have a second chance, I want to make things… Perfect.”

Every pony nodded understandingly; they recalled the last time Twilight babysat for Flurry. They remembered the frosting disaster at Sugar Cube Corner, the incident at the school, and worst of all, the chaos at the hospital. Those poor nurses weren’t the same after that.

“Well Twi, if that’s all it is, babysitting should be too difficult,” Rainbow said, confidently. “After all, we’ve defeated an evil witch and helped a poor farm girl get back home.”

“It wasn’t a very easy task,” Fluttershy added.

“But we did manage to do all that,” Applejack agreed. “So ya’ll can do this.”

Twilight remembered the events that took place a month ago, the moments that forever changed their lives. The day they fell through a portal cast by a mysterious television and transported them into the land of Oz. It was there they met Dorothy Gale and their friends Lion, Scarecrow and the Tin Man. Where the ‘Elements of Harmony’, fully restored, were stolen by the Wicked Witch, driving them to fight to get them back and all the while helping Dorothy return home to Kansas. To this very day, the television sits in the library and has laid dormant ever since.

“You know, that reminds me of something,” Rarity pondered. “Twilight, you mentioned Princess Celestia was here shortly after we returned. What did she have to say?”

“Well…”

(Flashback)

Twilight Sparkle stood outside her castle awaiting the arrival of her mentor and ruler of Equestria, Princess Celestia. Only a day or two had passed since their return; in that time, they managed to explain their story to their families and friends. Only now there was one more pony that really needed to know about this.

The alicorn looks to the sky, noticing two pony guards pulling the royal carriage down to the ground before coming to a halt. From the carriage emerged the most important pony in all Equestria. Her magnificent iridescent mane blew in an invisible breeze, as it always does. She exits the carriage with the poise of a true royal, bowing her head to her guards. When her eyes met Twilight’s, she smiled beautifully.

“Twilight Sparkle,” She spoke, in a soft and gentle voice. “My faithful student.”

Twilight trots toward her mentor, gently nuzzling her side, which the princess reciprocated.

“Princess Celestia, it’s nice to see you again,” Twilight said, backing away.

“And you as well. Now, what is this about a magical artifact you wish to show me?”

“Right this way, Princess.”

Twilight led the princess of the sun through her castle until they eventually came upon the library. Using her magic to push the door open, Twilight leads the princess inside. Celestia could see an endless pile of books, many of them open, and numerous scribblings on pages scattered about. The one thing which really got her attention was the strange device set up along the corner.

Celestia slowly approaches the device, known as a television, examining it closely.

“Careful Princess!” Twilight warned, worriedly. “Last time any of us got too close, it sucked us away to another world.”

Celestia turns toward her student for a moment before looking back to the device. She used her magic to entrap it in a white aura, lifting it off the ground. She closed her eyes, concentrating hard as the light began to glow brighter. Twilight had to shield her eyes from the blinding radiance. After a few moments, Celestia’s eyes shot open and she gently set the device back on the ground. She turned to her student and began explaining what she knew.

“Well Twilight, it seems this mysterious device did not come to you by mere coincidence.”

Twilight cocks her head to the side.

“What do you mean?” She asked, curiously.

“It seems some unknown force has enchanted this device. I cannot say for certain what this force may be or why it brought this here, but what I do know is that it chose you and your friends for a purpose.”

Twilight’s eyes grew in amazement. Yet, even taking in what her teacher said, this left her very confused.

“So, this wasn’t an accident?”

Celestia shook her head ‘no’ before smiling.

“It also seems there are many more worlds besides the one you recently visited, and this device is the means to find them. The magic will continue to transport you toward those in great need of the magic of friendship.”

“So, you’re saying this won’t be the last time we’ll be sent off to another world?”

“I’m afraid so, my student. This device will randomly send you to any world it chooses. Once you are there, you cannot return until you have accomplished your mission. This may be your biggest challenge yet.”

(End Flashback)

“So essentially, if what Princess Celestia was saying is true, we’ve been chosen to travel to a whole bunch of other worlds,” Twilight explained. “To right some great wrong in order to save their world if we are to return to Equestria.”

After her explanation, every single pony and the little dragon had wide eyes and were somewhat scared.

“So, we’re gonna keep getting’ sucked into that there contraption to save the world from some kinda evil?” Applejack asked, point blank.

“Pretty much,” Twilight shrugged, nodding her head.

Every pony didn’t get the chance to respond, when another knock at the door grabbed Twilight’s attention. She trots over to the door and used her magic to open it up.

“Surprise!”

Twilight smiled at the source just outside the door. Before her stood her brother Shining Armor, captain of the Crystal Empire royal guard. Alongside him was his wife and Twilight’s old foal sitter, as well as the ‘Princess of Love’, Princess Mi Amora Cadenza a.k.a. Princess Cadence. And, of course, sitting her little baby stroller was her niece, Princess Flurry Heart.

Flurry Heart, the cutest little foal a pony could ever lay eyes on. Her soft fur was a pinkish-white color, a combination of her parents. Her mane was a combo of purple, pink and baby blue. Unlike most foals, her eyes were huge with a soft baby-blue color. She had tiny little hooves which paled in comparison to her massive wings and horn.

When Twilight and her friends first met Flurry, they were all extremely shocked to discover she was an alicorn. The birth of an alicorn was something Equestria had never seen before, not even the Rulers of Equestria themselves. This led her to be a very strong flier with a huge amount of crazy magic. It did create a drastic situation for the Crystal Empire and Twilight especially, but she still loved her little niece.

Speaking of which, Twilight picks up Flurry in her magical grip and hugged her close.

“Hi Flurry!” Twilight said, in baby talk. “How’s my favorite little niece?”

Twilight starts kissing her niece all over her tiny face. Flurry giggled and babbled, as all babies do as her aunt kissed her.

“Twily, I think she’s your ‘only’ niece,” Shining Armor chuckled.

“For now,” Twilight said, mischievously.

Shining Armor and Cadence both looked at each other, eyes growing wide and blushing furiously.

“Oh my!” Cadence gasped.

“Twilight and Flurry both shared a laugh at the expense of the two.

“I’m only kidding!” Twilight reassured.

Shining Armor and Cadence both let out a breath, smiling in relief.

“So, you’re sure you can watch her Twilight?” Cadence asked.

“Of course, I’m sure!”

“Really?” Shining Armor smiled. “Remember last time?”

“Well, this time, I’ve made extra sure to leave my schedule open. This way, I can only spend time with Flurry.”

The little foal in question sat on her aunt’s back, giggling and clapping in pure joy. Twilight picks her up with her magic, holding her in front of her face.

“I’m also hoping I can finally hear Flurry’s first words,” Twilight smiled. “What do you say Flurry? For your Auntie Twily?”

Of course, as expected, Flurry continued giggling and babbly nonsense. Twilight just chuckled and shook her head. One of these days, she was going to get those first words out of Flurry.

Dude, didn’t Flurry Heart ‘technically’ say her first word when King Sombra returned and tried to take over the Crystal Empire?

Yes… But two things: One, Twilight Sparkle wasn’t there when Sombra was taking over. Two, of course Shining Armor and Cadence weren’t going to tell Twilight or else it would spoil the moment.

I don’t know…

Hey, if there was this movie in theaters that you always want to see and a group of your friends already saw it the day before, wouldn’t that kind of ruin it if they told you just how it happened?

Hmm… Okay, that’s a good point. Moving on!

“Alright Twilight, you two have fun now,” Shining Armor told Twilight. “Just be careful.”

“Okay and you both do the same,” She responded.

“We certainly will,” Cadence smiled.

Cadence picks up her daughter with her magic, holding her between herself and Shining Armor. They both kiss Flurry on the cheek and she giggled in response. Cadence handed Flurry back to Twilight, as the two made their way out the door, waving goodbye.

Once the door closed, Twilight held Flurry in front of her again.

“So, what are we going to do today, Flurry?” She asked, excitedly. “We’ve got the whole day to play and have fun!”

Flurry giggled joyfully, flying out of her aunt’s magical grasp. She flew around the main hall giggling and babbling.

“Oh, I’m gonna get you!” Twilight laughed.

Twilight took off into the air, pursuing Flurry Heart around for a while. Flurry was so happy and giddy, playing with her aunt and this time there was nothing to stop them. Twilight eventually caught up to Flurry, grabbing her in her hooves, hugging her close. Flurry laughs and hugged her aunt as well, as they both descend toward the ground.

It was then Twilight Sparkle eventually noticed her friends standing off to the side, smiling and shaking their heads at their silly shenanigans. Then, an idea pops in Twilight’s head as she lifts Flurry in front of her face once more.

“Hey Flurry, how about a little show for you?”

Flurry cocked her little head to the side, confused by her aunt’s words.

Twilight put Flurry on her back and turns toward her friends with a wink. They all nod their heads smiling, as they quickly bolt off in another direction. Twilight and Flurry follow close behind, eventually approaching the castle auditorium. Twilight walked up to the front, placing Flurry in one of the seats.

“Now you stay here, Flurry. Auntie Twily and friends have a little show for you!”

Flurry smiles brightly, sitting patiently in her seat. Twilight walked on stage and behind the curtain. Within a moment, the curtain opens revealing Twilight in a blue gingham dress and ruby slippers, just like Dorothy Gale. Flurry giggled and clapped seeing her aunt in a silly outfit.

For the next fifteen minutes or so, Twilight and the others put together a little rendition of the ‘Wizard of Oz’ for Flurry. Twilight as Dorothy, Rainbow as Scarecrow, Applejack as Tin Man, Fluttershy as Lion, Pinkie as Glinda and Rarity was the Wicked Witch. Of course, Flurry didn’t like the Wicked Witch scenes all that much and would growl cutely. Other times, she giggled and clapped for the happier scenes. Finally, they made it to the last scene.

“Oh, Auntie Em, there’s no place like home!” Twilight said.

They all take a bow, as Flurry laughed and clapped her little hooves joyfully.

“Thank you, thank you,” Twilight bowed.

“You’ve been a lovely audience!” Rarity added.

“Don’t forget to tip your waitress!” Pinkie added, comically.

Having truly enjoyed the little show, Flurry was so excited she didn’t notice her magic flare up and her horn glowing. Next thing any pony knew, Flurry vanished in a golden flash.

“Flurry, where did you go?!” Twilight gasped.

“Uh oh!” Rainbow said, wide eyed. “That’s not good!”

Every pony quickly burst out of their costumes, running all throughout the palace searching for the missing alicorn foal. Just as Twilight ran by the library doors, she could hear giggling from the other side. Every pony else came toward Twilight and could hear it too.

“She’s in the library!” Rarity pointed out.

“Twilight, isn’t the television in there?” Fluttershy asked.

Twilight’s eyes grew wide in realization.

“Oh no…”

Twilight quickly threw the doors open and saw Flurry fiddling with the television, laughing in amusement.

“Flurry honey, get away from there!” Twilight yelled.

Twilight made a mad gallop forward, jumping to catch Flurry. Suddenly, the little foal flipped a switch and a green vortex opened. Little Flurry giggled and clapped as she was unknowingly sucked through the portal. Twilight came up just short and watch her niece disappear deep into the void.

“NO!” Twilight shouted.

All the other ponies ran toward their friend, gasping with horrified expressions. Of all the worst outcomes that could happen on all days, this was the worst thing that could happen. Flurry Heart had jus fallen through a magical void to Celestia only knows where.

“Oh, my Celestia!” Twilight cried, horrified. “Shining Armor and Cadence are going to kill me!”

“Twilight, I think we should be worried about Flurry and what could possibly kill her!” Rarity points out. “Who knows where she could end up?”

“Now hold on, every pony!” Applejack said. “Before we start rushing into things, we need to come up with a plan just in case…”

But Twilight, ignoring Applejack, quickly made a mad dash for the vortex and with a running leap she jumped straight through the portal, disappearing into the unknown.

“Or… We could just go after Flurry Heart and hopefully save her,” Rainbow said, bluntly.

“Agreed!” The other ponies said.

The ponies quickly follow their friend through the portal, while Applejack just sighed and tipped her hat knowing most ponies don’t listen to her. Once she made it into the portal, the vortex immediately disappeared, the screen went dark and the whole library was quiet.

Just then, the library door leans open as Spike walked into the room. The little dragon was dressed like one of the Munchkins they encountered, but to be fair it was the ‘one’ costume that could fit him, much to his chagrin. At any rate, he came into the library reading a small scroll.

“Hey Twilight, I just got an important notice from Princess Celestia,” Spike said. “She told me to tell you—”

Spike didn’t get to finish when he peeked up from the scroll and saw that the library was completely devoid of ponies.

“Twilight? Girls??” Spike called out. “Did you guys just leave me out of another adventure again?!”

Spike slowly walked toward the television curiously and flipped the switch. Only instead of a vortex, all that appeared was static buzzing against the screen. Twilight pushed some of the buttons on the side, but nothing seemed to happen. Spike even slapped the side of the television but that end up causing the T.V. to go completely dark again. Spike’s eyes went wide as the realization dawned on him.

“Oh boy…” Spike sighed. “Here we go again!”

Shaggy and Scooby

It was a warm spring day, a magnificent setting in Coolsville, Ohio. Many college students were celebrating spring break, all planning on having the time of their lives. Most of them walked down the white sandy terrain of the beach, enjoying some fun in the sun. The only thing that really stuck out was a large green van painted with orange flowers and the words ‘Mystery Machine’ written along the side. A small cloud of smoke steams out the sunroof of the van, as laughing could be heard.

Sitting inside the back of the van is a man with shaggy, dirty-blonde hair with a matching goatee. The hair just happened to match his name, Norville Rogers… Or ‘Shaggy’ as he prefers. Shaggy wore a green tank top, brown slacks and clunky brown shoes. Sitting across from his is a giant Great Dane, brown furred with dark splotches and a blue collar with gold ‘S.D.’ letters. This dog happened to be the most famous dog in the entire world, with a name everyone remembers: Scooby Doo.

The two best friends laughed while grilling out in the back of the Mystery Machine. If there was one thing they love more than anything, it was ‘eating’. As a matter of fact, they could eat their way through a tanker truck loaded with food and still have room left over.

“This is primo!” Shaggy said, while grilling. “Man, talk about toasted.”

Scooby eyes the food with intent, waiting to get a bite of that delicious food. Shaggy grabs a plate and a bottle of chocolate sauce for the burger.

“Man, the only thing I like better than an eggplant burger… Is a chocolate-covered eggplant burger.”

Shaggy squeezed the bottle, as a large glob of chocolate sauce slathered all over his eggplant burger. Scooby held up a bottle of hot sauce.

“With rot sauce, ra-cha-cha-cha!” He said, squirting some sauce.

Yes folks, you heard right: Scooby Doo is a talking dog.

Yep… Just let that sink in for a moment.

Anyway, as far as dogs go, Scooby Doo was special for numerous reasons. Just being able to talk was perhaps the most interesting of them all… But that’s a long story.

Shaggy grabs his burger, as he looks over his one best friend in the entire world.

“Yeah, just another beautiful day in paradise.”

Just as Shaggy was about to take a bit of his burger, he felt a slight draft. Confused, he paused for a moment and looked around for the source. It wasn’t before the draft starts picking up, as if a strong wind appeared ever so suddenly.

“Scooby Doo, did you leave the window open again?” He asked.

“Ruh uh!” Scooby shook his head.

“Like, then where is that wind coming from, man?”

Soon enough, the wind continues to build up practically blowing all the food in the van all around them. This just made Shaggy and Scooby especially nervous.

“Zoinks!” Shaggy cried, urgently. “Like gab the food, Scoob!”

“Rokay!” Scooby responds.

The two friends tried to catch as much food as possible but found it difficult to catch it out of the air. Suddenly, a strange vortex opens from the back of the van. Shaggy and Scooby hold each other close, scared out of their wits.

“Scooby Doo, what do we do?!” Shaggy yelled.

Scooby merely jumped from Shaggy’s arms toward the front seat of the van, hiding down below. Shaggy followed close behind, ducking for cover. The van started to shake as something fell into a pile in the back. Eventually, the vortex closed and the two slowly peek their quivering heads to eye the back of their van.

There, a little creature sat in the van shaking off some food like a cute puppy. From what they could see, this little creature had cotton candy hair, pinkish white fur, big bright-blue eyes, and a giant pair of wings and a horn. Clearly it was an infant, if the diaper it worse wasn’t any indication. It just sits there, a big smile on its face, looking around it’s new surroundings in wonder. Shaggy and Scooby just look at each other, completely bewildered by what to make of this.

“Like Scooby Doo,” Shaggy whispered. “Do you see what I see?”

“Ruh huh!” Scooby nodded.

“Go see what it is, Scoob.”

“Ruh uh, rou go check!”

Shaggy looks between Scooby and the small creature, back and forth for a few seconds.

“Alright, we’ll ‘both’ check!’

They both nod in agreement, slowly stepping over the seat toward the back of the van. The little creature peers at the two and smiled warmly. It stretch out its little hooves, cooing. The two just look at each other, then back towards the creature.

“What do you think it is, Scoob?” Shaggy wondered.

Scooby slowly approaches the little creature, who looked up to the Great Dane with those incredibly huge baby-blue eyes. Their faces were just mere inches from each other, as Scooby sniffed it out. The little creature just giggled, as if ticklish, and grabbed ahold of Scooby’s face. Under most circumstances, Scooby would yelp and run straight out of the Mystery Machine… And yet, he noticed the little creature was just hugging his face. All at once it made his demeanor soften.

“Rawww shucks!” Scooby said.

The Great Dane couldn’t help but lift the little creature in his paws, holding it close to him. The little one nuzzled into the big dog’s chest, as Shaggy came closer.

“Aww, that’s like such a sweet moment, ain’t it Scoob?” Shaggy asked.

“Ruh huh!” Scooby responds, hugging the creature.

As Shaggy came for a closer look, he examined the wings along the creature’s back and the horn protruding from its forehead.

“Like Scoob, this is gonna sound weird,” Shaggy observed. “But I think this is an alicorn!”

“Rah ralicorn?” Scooby asked, confused.

Before Shaggy could explain, the strange vortex opened again. A large mass of bodies flew out, one piling onto Shaggy, knocking him to the ground.

“Like, ouch!” Shaggy wheezed.

Scooby jumps back, holding the little alicorn close as the green vortex closed. It was then they noticed a group of six multicolored horses, some with wings and some with horns. One of them, also with both a horn and wings, was lying on top of Shaggy who was so dizzy he could see flying ponies over his head. The rest were groaning and slowly recovering from the impact of a hard fall.

“Man, I really hate that falling thing!” Rainbow Dash groaned.

“I ain’t felt this sore since the time ah had tah heave a giant bale of hay up the barn with the pully,” Applejack moaned. “Shot me across the entire apple crop!”

“Oh Fluttershy, can you please get of me, darling?” Rarity asked.

Fluttershy, in question, had a much softer landing… Sitting on top of Rarity’s back which was rather uncomfortable for the fashionista.

“Oh, I’m so sorry,” Fluttershy responds, hopping off.

Every pony got to their hooves, standing in the middle of the van and stretched their joints. Shaggy slowly stumbled to his feet, as Twilight hopped off the skinny man and pulled him up.

“I’m terribly sorry sir,” Twilight apologized. “We didn’t mean to fall on you.”

“Like no worries,” Shaggy said, dazed. “What’s a minor concussion between…”

Shaggy turned to whoever was talking to him but paused with shock seeing no one standing in front of him. He slowly peeks down toward six colorful ponies standing before him, staring at him with huge eyes. The man was so shocked his own eyes grew to the size of saucers, turning to Scooby and chuckling nervously.

“Scooby Doo, I haven’t hallucinated this hard since back in college, man. I’m seeing colored horses standing in front of me.”

“Actually sir, we’re ponies,” Pinkie corrected, excitedly. “But don’t worry, it’s an easy mistake. Hi, I’m Pinkie Pie! What’s yours?”

Shaggy just froze in place, hearing every word the pony said. He laughed nervously, then fainted on the ground. Every pony ran up to him, kneeling beside the unconscious man.

“Oh dear, is he alright?” Rarity asked, concerned.

“I’m not sure,” Twilight responds.

“Is there anything we can do to wake him?” Rainbow asked.

Scooby gently places Flurry down, as the little alicorn smiles at him. Scooby searched through the van till he found an old smelly sock from Shaggy’s laundry, walking toward his buddy. The stench was so bad the girls nearly threw up and had to cover their muzzles. They stand back as Scooby waved the sock over Shaggy’s face, before he quickly woke up and sat straight up gasping.

“I’m up!” Shaggy exclaimed, loudly. “I’m alright!”

Shaggy turns to the side, when his eyes caught sight of the ponies once more.

“’Sup?” Rainbow asked.

Shaggy was about to faint again until Twilight grabbed his face with her hooves.

“Sir, me and my friends are talking ponies. This isn’t a dream; you are not hallucinating. Please spare us the trouble of fainting again.”

Shaggy quickly nods his head as best as he could, as Twilight released her hooves. Shaggy shook his head rapidly, looking back toward the others.

“Like sorry for that,” Shaggy said, nervously. “It’s not every day a bunch of multi-colored ponies fall in my van and talk to me.”

“I’m really sorry, sir,” Twilight said, urgently. “But we were just following my niece through the vortex and it’s important we get her back.”

Flurry Heart pokes her little head out from behind Scooby, giggling ang waving at her aunt.

“FLURRY!”

Upon seeing her niece, Twilight’s face lit up and she scrambles toward Flurry. She scoops her up with a big hug as Flurry giggles.

“Oh Flurry, there you are!” Twilight cried. “I was so worried something bad happened!”

“Uh Twi, in case you haven’t noticed, something bad ‘did’ happen,” Rainbow points out. “We’re in another world and no we can’t go back!”

Scooby approaches Twilight Sparkle, gently poking her with his paw to draw her attention.

“Rhat rose rat mean?” He asked.

Twilight shrieks and jumps back toward the others, clutching Flurry closely. The others, aside from Rainbow Dash, looked just as scared. Even Fluttershy, who is able to understand the language of all creatures and conversed with other talking animals, was greatly nervous.

“D-D-Did that d-dog just t-talk?” Fluttershy shook.

Shaggy walks right up to Scooby, placing is hand on his furry shoulder.

“Yeah, that’s ole Scoob for yah,” He replies, reaching his hand out. “We haven’t been properly introduced; I’m Shaggy Rogers and this is Scooby Doo.”

The others wearily shook his hand, as well as Scooby’s paw. But it was good to know these two were friendly, for the time being.

“I’m Twilight Sparkle,” Twilight introduced. “And these are my friends: Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie.”

Twilight then lifts up Flurry Heart, who reaches her tiny hooves toward Scooby.

“I suppose you already know my little niece, Flurry Heart.”

Shaggy smiled and ruffled her mane, making Flurry Heart giggle.

“Like, nice to meet you all,” Shaggy chuckled. “Sorry in advance because I’m still trying to wrap my hand around the fact this isn’t a dream and it’s really happening.”

Twilight and the others merely shrug, brushing it off.

“No worries Shaggy,” Fluttershy said. “We understand how shocking this is.”

Shaggy and Scooby take their seat along the floor of the van, as the ponies got comfortable.

“So, where are you all staying?” Shaggy asked.

“Nowhere, really,” Twilight admits. “You see we sort of pop into worlds randomly and we can’t go home until we’ve stopped some huge evil from destroying the world.”

The others just nod in agreement, as Shaggy laughed nervously.

“Like, this seems like a weird dream that I’ll wake up from any minute.

Every pony, even Scooby Doo, looked at him. Eventually Shaggy shook his head and accepted the circumstances.

“Sorry about that. Anyway, if you’ve got nowhere to say, you’re more than welcome to stay in the van with us. It might be a tight fit, but like we’ll make it work.”

Every pony smiled at the offer.

“Are you quite certain, darling?” Rarity asked.

“Yeah, I mean we hate to impose,” Rainbow said.

“Oh, it’s no worries,” Shaggy smiled. “Anything to help out. Like, how often do you get to say you’ve got six talking ponies and a cute little foal living with you?”

Scooby Doo scratches his chin, trying to think of an answer to that question.

“Ri don’t know Raggy,” He answered.

“Exactly old buddy, old pal. So, you girls hungry or anything? Scoob and I were just sitting down for lunch.”

“Do you guys have any salad or hay or anything?” Fluttershy asked.

Shaggy peaks around the cupboards before pulling out some lettuce and a few other ingredients for a salad. He quickly whips something up into a large bowl and once he’s done he starts placing a pile into separate paper plates.

“Like, here you go! One salad de pony for our new friends, courtesy of your Master Chef, Shaggy Rogers!”

Every pony laughed at the man’s joke as they dig into their food. Pinkie looks around, then spots something along the side.

“Say, can I borrow some of that chocolate sauce?” Pinkie asked.

“Like sure, help yourself,” Shaggy offered.

Pinkie takes the chocolate sauce and proceeds to squirt a glob into her own salad. Under normal circumstances, the other girls would be disgusted but they were too hungry to care. Given the weird food fusions Shaggy’s eaten in his life, this didn’t bother him in the slightest. Once again, he picks up his eggplant burger and just when he was about to take a bite:

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

Every pony turns toward the back doors, while Shaggy and Scooby looked somewhat worried.

“I’m looking for a “Mr. Rogers” and a “Mr. Doo”,” A voice called out. “The detectives?”

“Who is that?” Pinkie asked.

Shaggy leans in to talk to Scooby.

“Like, it’s probably just somebody else looking for us to solve some terrifying mystery!”

“Robody home!” Scooby called back.

The ponies all look at the Great Dane with a ‘Seriously?” expression, as the dog just shrugged.

“Quick Scoob-O,” Shaggy whispered. “Grab the food-o and let’s scram-o!”

Scooby quickly scrounged up as much as food as possible, as once again they heard a man call out.

“I’m looking for a ‘Mr. Rogers’ and a ‘Mr. Doo’.”

“What about us?” Twilight asked Shaggy.

Shaggy looked around, gesturing to some pillows off the corner of the van.

“You girls like hide in that big pile over there. We’ll go out there and get rid of him!”

Every pony nodded and quickly ducks into a pile of pillows, while Shaggy and Scooby jump out of the Mystery Machine and close the doors behind them. The walls of the van were so thin the ponies could hear what they were talking about.

“I’m sorry dude,” Shaggy explained. “We’d love to help you out; you seem like a really nice guy. It’s just that we’re not detectives anymore.”

“Oh, it’s just that I’ve been sent here by my employer, Mr. Emile Mondevarious,” The man spoke back. “To invite you to his world-famous amusement park, ‘Spooky Island’.”

“Oh no! We don’t go anywhere with the words ‘spooky’, ‘haunted’, ‘forbidden’, or ‘creepy’ in the name.”

“Or ‘hydrocolonic’,” Scooby added.

“Right, or ‘hydrocolonic’,” Shaggy laughed. “But that’s for a whole different reason man.”

Twilight looked at all her friends with a look of disgust, they all had the same reaction.

“I have an idea what that word means but I really don’t want to say it,” Twilight said, grossed out.

Pinkie Pie reaches into her mane, pulling out a dictionary and a pair of reading glasses. Putting the glasses to her face, she opens the pages to the ‘H’ section and scrolls down.

“Ooh, here it is! Hydrocolonic: A procedure where you stream gallons of water into your body through your—”

“PINKIE!!!” Every pony yelled.

Pinkie squeaked and immediately put the dictionary and glasses back into her mane. Thankfully, Twilight had Flurry’s ears covered the entire time much to her confusion. Back outside, their new friends and the man didn’t seem to pay attention as they continued their conversation.

“Mr. Mondevarious would like you to solve the mystery,” The guy insists. “He’ll pay you a fee of ten thousand dollars.”

“Yeah, it’s just materialism isn’t really our bag, man,” Shaggy shot down.

“Free airfare.”

“No thanks.”

“Room and board.”

“Eh, no thanks.”

“And… ‘All you can eat’.”

There was a moment of silence before Scooby spoke up.

“R-R-Rall you can eat?”

Then, the ponies heard the sound of a certain Great Dane falling flat on the concrete.

“Is he going to be alright?” The guy asked.

“Uh yeah, he’ll be alright,” Shaggy assured. “Like, we’ll be on the next flight, if not sooner. Thanks man!”

Next thing they knew, the back doors flew open and Shaggy, along with a very disoriented Scooby Doo, hops into the back of the van. The ponies all step out from their pillow fortress.

“What in tarnation was all that hullabaloo about?” Applejack asked.

“Well, it looks like we’re going on vacation!” Shaggy said, excitedly.

“Ten thousand dollars, free airfare, room and board, and ‘All You Can Eat’!” Pinkie listed, smiling. “Sounds like my kind of vacation to me!”

“Pinkie, do you even know what ten thousand dollars is?” Twilight asked, eyebrow raised.

“Hmm… I don’t know,” Pinkie shrugged. “But it sounds like more bits than Filthy Rich can make.”

“Excuse me boys, but what was that gentleman talking about ‘solving mysteries’?” Rarity asked.

“Oh, yeah… About that,” Shaggy spoke, awkwardly. “Like, me and Scoob here used to solve terrifying mysteries.”

“So, it was just you and Scooby solving them?” Twilight asked.

The moment Twilight asked, Scooby and Shaggy looked at each other. Then they turn back toward the others with sad faces.

“It didn’t used to be,” Shaggy answered, sadly.

The others reel back a little, realizing they must have said something ‘wrong’.

“Oh, I’m so sorry,” Twilight said, guiltily. “I didn’t mean to bring up anything bad. If you don’t want to tell us, it’s all right.”

“No, it’s fine,” Shaggy waved it off. “It’s already out there, so we may as well tell you guys.”

All the ponies, including Flurry Heart, gather around Shaggy and Scooby. The two friends, as sad as they were, began to tell their story.

“You see, when I was in high school, I was a lonely loser who secretly hoped to find a couple friends. Then one night, ole Scoob here somehow came into my life out of nowhere and we’ve been best buddies ever since. Shortly after, we met Fred, Daphne, and Velma and we all bonded after solving our first mystery. We formed a mystery solving team, solving cases all throughout college and foiled many crimes. But after a while, we started to fall apart. It all came to a chaotic end, two years ago…”

(Flashback)

Mystery Incorporated had just solved the case of the Luna Ghost at the Wow-O-Toy Factory. As it turned out, a creepy janitor, Old Man Smithers, wanted revenge against the pretty owner after she refused to go out with him. Things seemed to end smoothly until it became clear something troubled the Mystery Inc. team. As they walked back toward their van, it was clear they were upset with each other.

“Fred, I can’t believe you took credit for my plan again,” Velma told Fred.

“Some plan,” Daphne complained. “That ghost pawed me for an hour and a half!”

“Daph, it’s not our fault you always get kidnapped,” Fred said.

“I do not always get kidnapped!” Daphne responds. “I can’t believe you’d even say that.”

“Oh please,” Velma rolled her eyes. “You come with your own ransom note.”

This, of course, infuriated the already agitated fashionista. Daphne grabs Velma’s glasses right off her face, holding them high in the air.

“Hey, my glasses!” Velma cried.

Velma dropped to the ground, unable to see, crawling around and trying to feel for anything.

“Who’s helpless now?” Daphne mocked.

“I’m going to kill you, Daphne!” Velma threatened.

Velma finally grabbed ahold of something, presumably Daphne, and tried to strangle her. Only, it wasn’t Daphne… It was Fred, who got caught in the middle.

“Woah—Woah!” Fred gasped, as Velma quickly lets go. “Watch the ascot!”

Seeing the team in disarray, Shaggy felt it was time to jump in and say something encouraging.

“You guys, look, I know I’m just the dude that carries the bags. But it seems to me like we all play a very important part in this group.”

Although Fred, Daphne and Velma were paying attention to what Shaggy was saying, it didn’t seem to help that much. As Shaggy continued, Velma quickly snatched her glasses from Daphne and put them back on.

“I mean we’re like a huge, delicious banana split. Fred, you’re the big banana. Daphne, you’re the pastrami and bubblegum flavored ice cream. And Velma, you’re the sweet-and-sour mustard sauce that goes on top.”

As weird as it was for the gang, Scooby Doo licked his lips with a big ‘Mmm mmm!’.

“That sounds pretty good, doesn’t it Scoob?”

“Ruh huh!”

“You know what, Shaggy?” Velma asked, sadly. “You really know how to put it in perspective, don’t you?”

“Thanks!”

The next thing Velma uttered were perhaps the two most devasting words any of them had ever heard.

“I quit!”

In that one moment, the world stood still as the rest of the gang looked at her in shock, as if she had just uttered the worst thing anyone could ever imagine and multiply it by a thousand.

“No,” Shaggy gasped.

“No way, you can’t quit!” Daphne complained. “I was gonna quit in like two seconds and now everyone is gonna totally think that I copied off the smart girl.”

“Hey now, wait a minute!” Fred butted in. “Wait a minute!”

Everyone turned toward him, as though he was about to break this all up.

“Maybe I quit,” Fred said, seriously.

This was unbelievable and nearly a lot for Shaggy and Scooby to take in. Fred Jones, the leader of ‘Mystery Inc.’, saying that he quits. Now the entire system was falling apart before their eyes.

“I do—Yeah, I quit!” He said, storming off.

“I’m out of here!” Velma stormed off, as well.

“Good riddance!” Daphne muttered, as she left.

All Shaggy and Scooby could do was watch, as their friends walked towards their separate vehicles.

“No, don’t go!” Shaggy pleaded. “Come on guys, don’t do this. Please don’t go.”

Beside him, Scooby Doo whimpered with tears in his eyes watching them all drive away.

“Do I quit?” He asked, looking at Shaggy.

“No Scoob, friends don’t quit.”

(End flashback)

“—So it’s just been me and Scooby ever since,” Shaggy concluded, sadly. “It’s been two years and we haven’t seen the old gang ever since.”

Every pony in the group had tears in their eyes. It was the most heartbreaking story they’ve ever heard, a group of seemingly great friends coming to such a horrible end in one night. Pinkie was practically crying crocodile tears.

“That’s terrible darling,” Rarity choked out.

“That’s the saddest story… I ever heard!” Pinkie cried, wiping away her tears.

“I’m so sorry to hear that you guys,” Twilight said, sadly. “That sounds just awful! I couldn’t imagine my friends and I ever splitting up like that.”

Shaggy nodded sadly, as poor Scooby Doo nuzzled into his side and whimpered. Unbale to bear the sight, little Flurry hops out of Twilight’s grasp and crawls toward Scooby. She lightly taps his side with her little hoof as Scooby looks down and sees the sad expression on her face. Flurry stuck out her hooves and Scooby picks her up in his paws, hugging her closely. This brought a smile to the big dog’s face, which in turn made Flurry giggle and clap.

“Ranks Rurry!” Scooby thanked her.

Flurry, as cute as she is, gave Scooby a tiny kiss on the cheek. Twilight and the other ponies gave a big ‘aww’ at the cute scene. Even Shaggy couldn’t stay sad for long.

“Like I never thought I’d see the day,” Shaggy replied. “Scooby Doo cuddling a baby alicorn.”

“Re quiet,” Scooby growled, annoyed.

Shaggy merely shook his head, chuckling to himself, before facing the group of ponies.

“I’m sure the old gang would have thought that was adorable too,” Shaggy sighed. “I wish I could see the look on their faces.”

It was then, as Twilight sat quietly, an idea pops in her head.

“You know Shaggy, I’ve been thinking,” Twilight ponders. “If ‘you’ got an invitation to this island to solve a mystery, it’s possible Fred, Daphne and Velma got one too. Maybe, ‘just’ maybe, this could bring you back together!”

Shaggy thought for a moment, realizing Twilight was on to something. If Shaggy and Scooby were wanted, then surely the rest of ‘Mystery Inc.’… But…

“You might be right Twilight, but even if that’s the case, Mystery Inc. is broken up. Like, I don’t even think they even consider each other friends, anymore. They never even sent us a postcard, not even a phone call… Probably don’t want to talk to us.”

Hearing that, Twilight and the other girls look at each other, smiling slyly as they stood up.

“Well, luckily for you,” Twilight said. “You just so happen to have the ‘Masters of Friendship’ right here in front of you.”

“Yeah, when it comes to friendship, we’re like totally awesome!” Rainbow bragged.

“If any pony can help resolve your problems, it would be us,” Rarity added, with an eye flutter.

This managed to bring a smile to Shaggy and Scooby’s faces, perhaps giving them hope after a period of uncertainty. Even for just a moment that they’d all be together, to showcase how close they are and how good of friends they used to be, maybe things will work out.

“Well, if you think you can help then far out!” Shaggy smiled. “I guess you’re coming with us to Spooky Island!”

“Rooyah!” Scooby cheered.

Flurry giggled and clapped her hooves, as Twilight and her friends cheer and hoof-bump. It was then, however, Shaggy realized something very important.

“Wait a minute! How are you guys gonna come with us as ponies?” Shaggy asked. “No problem for us, but it’s just that people don’t normally see talking ponies every day.”

“Yet their all just fine and dandy with a talkin’ dog?” Applejack rolled her eyes.

“Rou bet,” Scooby smiled.

Twilight thought hard for a second, pondering the circumstance. True, back in Oz, the citizens were alright with talking animals given how whimsical it was. But here, Twilight considered that things work completely differently as if this world had it’s own set of rules. Then, she thought of something.

“Girls, I’m going to need to take your hooves!” Twilight declared.

“Uh Twi,” Rainbow said, awkwardly. “I know we’re friends and all, but I don’t roll that—”

“Just do it!”

Unsure, each of the Mane Six grabbed each other’s hands, Pinkie grabbing Twilight’s left hand enthusiastically and Rainbow Dash tentatively holding Twilight’s right.

“Hold on girls, this is going to feel odd,” Twilight warned. “Plus, I’ve never done this before.”

“WHAT?!” Rainbow asked, in shock.

But there was no time to say anything as Twilight concentrated her magic around them (Minus Shaggy, Scooby and Flurry), covering them in a blinding purple light. Shaggy and Scooby fold their arms over their eyes, while Flurry looked as if it was the most beautiful sight she ever saw. After a few seconds, the light vanished, and what Shaggy and Scooby saw left them completely shocked. No longer were Twilight and her friends ponies; they were now humans, like as they’d appear in Canterlot High.

Or, to save time on description, whereas ‘this’ Twilight Sparkle and the girls retain the ‘Equestria Girls’ appearance from the current series.

Look it up on the wiki, folks.

As they all looked down at themselves, every pony, except Twilight, were shocked. For her friends, this was completely different for all of them seeing as how Twilight was the only one to visit the other world. And now to see what they look like as humans; this was a shock.

At least the magic includes giving them clothes or else that would be ‘really’ awkward.

*Pause* You’re sick, you know that?

Yep.

“What in the name of Celestia!” Rainbow blurted.

“What are these things on the end of our hooves?” Rarity asked, examining her ‘hands’.

“They’re not ‘hooves’, Rarity,” Twilight explains. “Their called ‘hands’ and those little things are ‘fingers’.”

“What do they do?” Fluttershy whispered.

“Try picking something up.

Fluttershy looks around the Mystery Machine and spots a spatula on the ground. Using her new hands, she reached down and clutches it until the spatula is gently in her hand. As she lifts it to her face, she was stunned of how different it felt to pick things up with hands instead of hooves.

Pinkie Pie, on the other hand, enjoyed her new appearance as she took off one of her sandles and wiggled her dainty toes.

“Wowie, this is super-duper!” Pinkie rambled. “This is cooler than the time I was stuck in the ice box at ‘Sugar Cube Corner’! Mr. and Mrs. Cake had to thaw me out with hot water and a hair dryer… Two of them.”

“As long as I’m still majorly awesome, I don’t mind at all,” Rainbow said, cockily.

“I adore this outfit, darling,” Rarity said, admiring her clothes. “I can’t wait to see what outfits I can try in this new world.”

“Alright Shaggy,” Twilight said, adjusting her glasses. “Looks like we’re ready to go!”

Shaggy was still in shock when he turned to Scooby.

“Like Scooby Doo, that was the most awesome thing I’ve ever seen!” Shaggy said, cheekily.

“Re too!” Scooby responded.

“But what about Flurry?” Shaggy asked.

It was then the girls realized they forgot something…

Apart from leaving Spike out of this story of course…

I SAID I WAS SORRY!!!

*Ahem* It was then the girls realized they forgot something, as they looked toward Flurry Heart, who eyed her aunt and her friends curiously while sucking one of her hooves.

“Whoops, I reckon we missed on,” Applejack points out.

Twilight walks over to her alicorn niece, lifting her up in her arms. She grabs a blanket from the corner, wrapping Flurry until only her cute face was showing.

“As long as I keep Flurry wrapped up like this, I think we’ll be alright,” Twilight said. “When we get there, we’ll figure out the rest.”

“Well, far out! Next stop: Spooky Island!”

With that, Shaggy and Scooby hop in the front seat of the Mystery Machine as all the ponies, now ‘Equestria Girls’, sat in the back and hung on as the van drove off the beach.

For as of this day, a new adventure had just begun…

Meeting the gang

As the Mystery Machine rolled on, most of the ride to the airport was quiet. The only sounds made were those of Flurry Heart, giggling and babbling. The girls had just finished telling Shaggy and Scooby of their adventures for at least a half hour before a long silence commenced. Quite frankly, it was fine since everyone wanted some time to relax after what just happened this morning.

Finally, after a while, the group pulled the van toward the airport. Shaggy and Scooby Doo jumped out from the front of the Mystery Machine, carrying all the stuff they packed for the trip, and opens the back door to let the girls out. They all jump from the back, stretching their limbs.

“Oh, thank goodness,” Rarity complained. “It was so cramped in there; I thought the ride would never end.”

“Like, I did say the van would be a tight squeeze,” Shaggy points out.

“Yah wanna talk about cramped Rarity?” Applejack asked, annoyed. “Try falling in the hay baler and spending the next two weeks shaped like a square.”

Twilight just rolled her eyes at the two bickering friends, as she picks up Little Flurry, all bundled up in her blanket, and kept her close.

“Alright Flurry, I need you to be good and don’t use your magic or wings for a while,” Twilight instructs, sweetly. “Can you do that for Auntie Twily?”

Flurry giggled, hugging her aunt as a response. Not many ponies would understand, but Twilight knew that meant ‘yes’.

“Well, are we doing this thing or not?” Rainbow asked.

They all nod and start walking toward the airport. Just then, Shaggy realized something important and stops them in their tracks.

“Hang on a second guys,” Shaggy said. “Like, how are you gonna come with us to Spooky Island if you don’t have tickets?”

This was very serious predicament, as the girls looked amongst each other. Shaggy did have a point: While he and Scooby were personally invited to this island, that didn’t mean the girls too. Without tickets, they couldn’t possibly fly with them to the island without revealing their true nature to anyone. Just then, Twilight had an idea.

“Can I see your ticket to ‘Spooky Island’, Shaggy?”

“Like sure.”

Shaggy hands her the ticket, while Twilight looks around to see if anyone was around or looking. She waves her hand, as a lavender aura circles the ticket. In a quick flash of light, a few more tickets appear in her other hand, the one holding Flurry Heart, just enough for all of them. Twilight hands the original ticket back to Shaggy, who had wide eyes and his mouth hung open. Scooby had to reach his paw and close Shaggy’s mouth for him.

“Like, I’m still gonna have to get used to that,” Shaggy laughed.

Everyone else just chuckled along, as Twilight hands a ticket to each of her friends. Yet even Pinkie Pie, known for being the most random member of the group, had her questions.

“Didn’t you say you couldn’t use magic when you became human in that other world?” Pinkie asked, scratching her head.

“True, but you do learn things over the years,” Twilight justified.

“Well, let’s just hope my wings don’t have to grow back,” Rainbow smiled, smugly. “Otherwise, you’re all going to have a hard time picking your mouths off the floor after seeing my awesome flying!”

Shaggy and Scooby Doo both smiled, rolling their eyes as Rainbow Dash’s ego reminded them of one of their friends. As they made their way into the airport, Twilight and the ponies could hardly believe the sight. Considering Equestria didn’t have airports, they had never seen anything quite like it. As Shaggy was about to lead them through, passing a few billboards of ‘Spooky Island’, Scooby stops Shaggy.

“What is it, old buddy?” Shaggy asked.

“Ri gotta range,” Scooby replied.

“You’ve gotta change?”

“Ruh huh!”

“Alright, Scooby. Just meet us at the security check when you’re finished.”

With that said, the Great Dane walked off towards another direction while Shaggy led the girls through the airport. Yet as Twilight looked on, she couldn’t help but feel suspicious.

“Hey Shaggy, what was that all about?” Twilight whispered.

“What was ‘what’?” Shaggy asked.

“You know… ‘That’?” Twilight whispered, slightly louder.

“Oh… Trust me. This will all go a lot better when he gets back.”

Neither Twilight nor any of the girls knew what to believe with that statement. Nevertheless, they decided to just go along with it for the time being. It was probably the only way things were going to get done around here. Eventually they made their way toward the security checkpoint.

“Alright guys, now you’re like gonna have to show the guy your tickets,” Shaggy said.

The girls nod, as they watch Shaggy go first. They observe as he hands the security guy his ticket, before he was allowed to go through. Shaggy had placed his personal effects, his shoes included, in a plastic bin and sent it through a scanner. Shaggy then goes through a giant detector to check for any dangerous materials before he was finished.

As for Twilight and her friends, considering they didn’t have a ton of baggage to bring along, they were mostly concerned with the rest of the procedure. But otherwise, they had no problem getting their tickets through security. Fluttershy was the last to go when she felt someone bump into her and made her squeak.

“Rorry rout rat, riss.”

“Oh, that’s quite all right,” Fluttershy replied, not looking back.

Suddenly, Fluttershy froze for a moment and slowly looks back. Her eyes wide as she took a close look at the ‘woman’ in line behind her.

“Oh… My…”

Meanwhile, at another part of the airport, a tall handsome blond man, with sunglasses over his eyes and a leather blue jacket, strolled by with a single bag over his shoulder. Recognized by the white cotton shirt, blue jeans and what appears to be an orange ascot hidden below the collar, this was Fred Jones, formerly the leader of ‘Mystery Inc.’ As he walked by, with a ticket in his hand, he didn’t notice a familiar face approaching him.

It was a mousy young girl with a bob haircut, square rimmed glasses and an orange sweater, with a red open shirt over it that matched her skirt. This was Velma Dinkley, the brains of ‘Mystery Inc.’ or at least… Used to be. She was looking at the handsome man next to her, as if suddenly he looked familiar to her.

“Fred?” The girl asked, drawing his attention.

“Velma?” Fred asked, surprised. “Are you going this way?”

Velma didn’t answer right away, as if this happened so fast, but all she did was nod with a small smile. This was very awkward for them as it’s the first time they’ve seen each other in years and they just happen to be going on the same flight. They were quiet for a moment, unsure of what to say until Velma eventually breaks the silence.

“How have you…” Velma began

“Been?” Fred interrupts.

“Yes.”

“Great! Great, I’m on the lecture circuit with my new book,” Fred explains, showing a book with his face. “’Fred on Fred: The Many Faces of Me’.”

(Flashback)

At a convention center, ‘Fan-Con-A-Thon’, Fred Jones was indeed doing a promotional speech on his book toward a crowd of fans gathered just to attend his lecture… Actually, just two or three kids while everyone just walked by. He stood on the podium next to the poster of his book along with a rubber mask next to him for demonstration.

“And in Chapter 7, I detail how the Black Knight Ghost was no supernatural phenomenon but a cowardly yet ingenious man in a mask,” Fred explains. “I induced this from a nearly imperceptible detail that a man of a lesser skill would have passed over a zipper in the back of the head.”

To prove his point, Fred Jones turns the mask around to show said ‘zipper’ thus revealing the illusion. Needless to say, the kids weren’t exactly impressed in the slightest.

“Now later for $5.00 you can come up and touch it,” Fred continues. “Any questions?”

One kid raised his hand drawing Fred’s attention.

“Yes?”

“Yeah, why do you suck?” The kid asked, obnoxiously.

“Yeah, who dyes your hair?” Another kid asked.

Fred was at a loss for words, clearly this was not going the way he planned out. Here he was trying to promote his material and these little brats were making a mockery out of him. It’s clear things weren’t as awesome as Fred had planned.

(Flashback ends)

“Jinkies, that’s impressive,” Velma said.

“And yourself?” Fred asked.

“I’ve been working at NASA, developing hydro-powered missile defense systems,” Velma replied. “But, more importantly… I’m on a journey of self-discovery.”

To Fred Jones, that sounded very impressive and he thought Velma was doing very well. But actually…

(Flashback)

Velma Dinkley was before a group of people in a room with portraits of black splotches. It was one of those therapy sessions for trouble grown-ups and Velma just happened to be a regular.

“Velma, when did you first experience these feelings of low self-esteem,” The therapist asked.

“Well, for a long time, I was part of a group where I didn’t get the attention I deserve,” Velma spoke.

“Which group was it?” Another member asked.

“Mystery Inc.,” Velma answered, reluctantly.

Suddenly, everyone started jumping out and recalling everything they know about ‘Mystery Inc.’ Shouting about the gang like Fred Jones, Scooby and even Daphne, whom two men thought were extremely hot. But not one member in attendance brought up Velma Dinkley’s name nor even recalled her being part of the group. Suffice to say, Velma would always be the odd man out… Or odd ‘girl’ in this case.

(Flashback ends)

“Charter service to Spooky Island will begin boarding momentarily,” The loudspeaker announced.

Fred and Velma were just nearing the gate, making their way toward their plane. A group of girls just left the desk while another girl still stood there having an argument with one of the airport staff. She was undeniably beautiful, with long red hair and dressed in all purple attire. This was Daphne Blake, who left the team over the ‘damsel in distress’ ordeal.

“What do you mean I can’t have seven carry-on bags?” Daphne complained, referring to her luggage. “That’s so economy!”

“Daphne?” Fred asked.

“Crap,” Velma said.

Should we really be using this kind of language; what will our fans say?

It’s in the bloody script; if they don’t like it, they can pop off!

Daphne turns around, tipping her sunglasses over her eyes. Needless to say, she was least happy to see her old teammates.

“Oh no,” Daphne whispered. “I’m not talking to you guys.”

To prove her point, Daphne made a motion of ‘zipping her lips’, throwing the ‘zipper’ aside, before turning back toward the desk. Still, when Fred Jones looked at her, he couldn’t deny that she was still the same beautiful girl from ages ago. After an awkward pause, Daphne turned back toward them.

“What the heck are you doing here?”

“Isn’t it obvious?” Velma asked, sarcastically. “We all received the same letter from one Emile Mondevarious, the reclusive owner of Spooky Island.”

“It’s not fair!” Daphne complained, stomping her heel. “I was gonna solve the mystery all by myself for the first time ever.”

“How are you gonna save yourself when you get caught?” Fred asked.

“I’m not like that anymore! I’ve transformed my body into a dangerous weapon.”

Fred Jones and Velma Dinkley couldn’t hide a chuckle after hearing that. Daphne Blake a.k.a. ‘Danger-Prone Daphne’ insisting that she was a ‘black belt’? Even that was hard to believe.

“It’s true!” Daphne insists.

(Flashback)

A board breaks apart after Daphne Black delivers a palm strike, decked out in martial arts attire which matched her favorite color. As she warms up, she recalls the words she recalls from her training. She was among a group of fellow martial artists in what appears to be either China or Japan. Her master, an old man with a long beard, overlooks Daphne’s training as she displays some impressive maneuvers like something out of a Bruce Lee movie.

“My opponent is my insecurity,” Daphne states, while breaking more boards. “My strength is my resolve.”

“Excellent Stephanie,” The sensei replies. “Now summon your chi, you are no longer helpless. Your body is the dangerous weapon.”

Daphne assumes a fighting position as another fighter jumps from the tree ready to combat the rising student. He appeared to be rather intimidating, refusing to hold back just because Daphne is a girl. But Daphne was not scared, this was finally her chance to prove herself and to women everywhere that she was not helpless. Daphne charges toward her opponent, performing back flips and stating the motto her sensei taught her.

“My opponent is my insecurity; my strength is my resolve.”

Daphne flips high into the air and the man looks on. But then the sound of branches snapping leaves the man baffled, scratching the back of his neck.

“Oh! My butt is stuck in a tree!”

Daphne Blake was not kidding. She was hanging from a branch where her Gi was caught on a loose branch. For all her skills and hard work, Daphne Blake still found herself prone to doing something embarrassing. She was having a worse wedgie, reminding her of when she was taken by the Luna Ghost as her sensei and fellow students looked on.

“Remember, the path to independence is winding and most difficult,” The sensei spoke.

One of the guys spoke to the master in a foreign language, telling him ‘Dude, this chick is hopeless!’ Whether Daphne could understand it or not, she knew that she embarrassed herself before her pupils… Again. She was just glad that no one she knew was aware of this or she’d never hear the end of it.

(Flashback ends)

“So just you know, watch it!” Daphne warned.

Meanwhile, Shaggy and the girls had just made it toward the gate when they noticed three faces from Shaggy’s face standing by the desk together.

“I’m assuming that’s them?” Twilight asked.

“You got it!” Shaggy smiled. “Wait here, I’ll introduce you guys.”

Shaggy casually walks over, trying to make it seem as though this was a pure coincidence.

“Far out!” Shaggy said, drawing their attention. “I guess we’re all going to Spooky Island, man!”

“Hey, Shagster!” Fred greeted.

The two men embrace in a quick hug, before Shaggy and Velma do the same thing.

“Good to see you, Shaggy,” Velma said.

“Hey Daph!” Shaggy greeted.

Daphne just gave a small wave, barely smiling. This was not going the way she planned at all.

“Oh, I’d like to introduce you guys to my new posse,” Shaggy said, waving. “Come on over girls.”

It was then the trio all noticed a group of five girls walking towards Shaggy, much to their surprise. They were unlike any girls they have ever seen, Fred especially who in his eyes they look like models walking down a catwalk. After an awkward glance, Fred immediately snapped out of it.

“So, who are your friends, Shag?” Fred asked.

“Oh yeah, so like Fred, Daphne, Velma, this is Twilight, Rainbow, Rarity, Applejack, and… Pinkie?” Shaggy introduced, but thought someone was missing.

“”Nice to meet ya’ll,” Applejack greeted, tipping her hat.

“Hello everyone,” Rarity said, with class. “Tis a divine pleasure to meet you.”

“Sup guys,” Rainbow said, casually.

“Hi! My name is Pinkie Pie!” Pinkie said, excitedly. “I’m super-duper excited to meet you all! Any friend of Shaggy is a friend of mine! He’s so nice, kind and I really like that in others!”

As Pinkie rambled on, she shook the hand of each and every one of Shaggy’s old pals, really hard and rapid. They all pulled back, shaking a bit to dull the feeling. They all turned toward the other girls for an explanation.

“Yeah, you get used to it,” Rainbow said.

“Uh Twilight,” Shaggy whispered. “Where’s your other friend?”

“Fluttershy?” Twilight asked, looking around. “I hope she made it through the gate; she probably just wanted to make sure ‘you know who’ is okay.”

“Oh…”

“So, how do you guys know Shaggy?” Velma asked.

Shaggy and the other froze for a moment, as a bead of sweat fell off Shaggy’s head. They didn’t think the question would come so far and Shaggy didn’t exactly plan this out.

“Well um—” Shaggy stuttered. “Their uh—”

“I’m Shaggy’s cousin!” Twilight jumped in. “And these are all my friends. We just arrived from…”

“CANADA!!!” Pinkie jumped in.

Applejack looked at Pinkie Pie with a raised eyebrow, especially since she’s not used to lying. Or for that matter, how Pinkie would come up with something so random as a place they don’t even know. Rainbow Dash even eyes at Pinkie Pie with a ‘seriously’ expression. But Shaggy saw this as a means to improvise.

“Why yes, they were just visiting from… ‘Canada’,” Shaggy added, awkwardly. “They wanted to spend spring break with me at the last minute and I completely forgot, heh heh. So, I decided to have them come along instead of just leaving them at my place alone.”

The other girls nod quickly, agreeing with the story. It was then Twilight could feel Flurry stirring and held her up before the group.

“Oh and this is my…” Twilight paused, thinking. “My sister! My little sister, Flurry. My parents are on a honeymoon, couldn’t find a foal—I mean ‘babysitter’, so I decided she should come along.”

While not the smoothest explanation Twilight ever made, the gang couldn’t help but fawn over the little one. Thankfully for her, they were oblivious to the fact that the baby was really an alicorn foal. At least so long as they don’t look too closely.

“Um Shag, can I talk to you for a moment?” Fred asked.

Shaggy nods as the two men walk to the side leaving the girls to get acquainted. Fred made sure no one else was listening, as he whispers to Shaggy.

“You do realize this place we’re going to is for college kids, right?” Fred points out, whispering. “These girls barely look like their outta high school and one of them is a baby!”

“Yeah, I know,” Shaggy whispered. “But I just didn’t want to leave ‘em alone, you know?”

Whether that was intentional or not, Fred felt a slight down about it especially the word ‘leave’. But Fred, being macho as he is, tried his best to make it seem it didn’t phase him. It was then the girls noticed someone from the team was missing from this gathering.

“Hey, where’s Scooby?” Velma asked.

Pinkie Pie looks over and suddenly her eyes widen. She slaps Rainbow on the shoulder, who turns toward her direction. Rainbow does the same and slaps Applejack’s, causing her to look. They see their friend Fluttershy helping an old woman up toward the gate to meet with them. Only, this wasn’t a woman at all… It was Scooby Doo!

Walking rather unsteadily on his hind legs, barely fitting in yellow beach sandals, Scooby Doo approached the gang dressed like a woman with a grandma style dress with plants, a hat and glasses over his eyes. Twilight, the other girls (Including Flurry) and the gang, minus Shaggy, look with wide eyes and open mouths. Scooby said ‘Hello’ to some passengers, while Fluttershy helped to keep Scooby steady. The meek girl with the long pink hair would say ‘Sorry’ or ‘Excuse me’ or her usual lines as they made their way toward their friends.

“They don’t allow big dogs on the plane,” Shaggy said, looking on.

“Whoa!” Rainbow gawked.

“Took the word right outta mah mouth!” Applejack agreed.

“I don’t think I’ll ever be able to unsee this,” Rarity said.

“I like it!” Pinkie smiles, with a thumbs up.

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” Velma said, in a ‘seriously’ tone.

“No one is stupid enough to believe that,” Daphne deadpanned.

Fred leans in to talk through Shaggy’s ear.

“Who’s the ugly old broad?” He asked.

The girls slapped their foreheads at that question, as Scooby walked right up to Fred and gave him a big, slobbery kiss on the cheek. Fred looked disgusted, wiping himself off.

“Say hello to Grandma,” Shaggy said.

“Aloha grandma!” Pinkie waved, cheerily.

“Raloha, Rinkie!” Scooby greeted, chuckling.

Flurry didn’t quite realize it was Scooby at first, pressing against Twilight’s chest and whimpers. Scooby looks from side to side, leans down a bit and whispers.

“Ron’t wrry, Rurry. Rits re!”

Flurry peeks toward Scooby and gets a close look at his smiling face toward her. Flurry’s mood immediately changed, as she giggled and babbled while reaching towards him. It was more surprising for the girls how Scooby even made it passed the checkpoint with no problem.

“Alright, how is that even possible?” Twilight asked, bewildered.

“Fluttershy, haven’t they noticed something?” Applejack asked.

“I’m honestly not sure,” Fluttershy admits, shyly. “I was just worried they were looking at ‘me’.”

“Oh, you’d be surprised of the number of things we pulled on people,” Shaggy replied. “Eh Scoob?”

“Rou ret!” Scooby agreed.

“Flight 3774 to Spooky Island no boarding,” The check-in lady announced.

The gang all looked at each other, but it was clear that they were not excited to see each other.

“Look, I wouldn’t have agreed to come if I knew,” Velma said.

Seeing the obvious tension, Shaggy decides to jump in before things went south.

“Wait, just think about it for one minute. Mystery Inc. reunites. We’ll be a team again, just like the old days. So come on, let’s do that thing where we all put our hands in, lift them up, and go: ‘Woo-hoo-hoo!’”

“Ooh, ooh, I’m game!” Pinkie said excited, holding her hand in.

Everyone just looked at her, until Pinkie awkwardly pulled her hand out rubbing the back of her neck. For a moment no one said anything, until Daphne broke the silence.

“Only if Fred and Velma do it.”

So they waited to see if either Fred and/or Velma would do the thing, as the girls waited anxiously. But neither one were really in a hurry to do so and all Fred said was,

“People are watching, Shag.”

The rest of the gang made their way aboard the plane, going their separate ways. Fred walking ahead and Daphne following with her sunglasses over her eyes. Although Velma seemed like she wanted to, as Shaggy urged her on, she too turned her back on her old friend to board the plane. Shaggy felt a bit disheartened by this, as the girls looked at him sympathetically.

“Sorry Shaggy,” Twilight said. “I guess this will take more work than we thought.”

“But don’t worry, we’re here to help you,” Rarity said, sweetly.

“All the way to the end, sugar cube,” Applejack agreed.

It was more than enough to put a light smile on Shaggy’s face, as Scooby reached his paw in the center.

“Roo-hoo?” Scooby asked, reeling his arm back.

“Yeah, Scooby, ‘roo-hoo’,” Shaggy said. “Come on guys, we’ve got a plane to catch.”

<>

After a while, everyone was on board the plane, ‘Spooky Air’, as it took off into the air. All the girls found themselves in different seats during the entire flight. Rarity and Fluttershy sat by Daphne, who was reading a magazine and giving a flirting guy next to her the cold shoulder. At least, it seems Rarity and Daphne were getting along just fine seeing as they both had a passion for fashion.

Get it? ‘Passion for fashion’? *Chuckles*

Yeah… I got it.

“So, they wouldn’t let you bring seven carry-on bags on this flight, darling?” Rarity asked. “That’s preposterous! Without my clothing and make-up, I’d be lost!”

“I know, right?” Daphne agreed. “It’s so ridiculous! I mean, no offense or anything, but why does Shaggy get to bring you guys and his cousin, while I can’t even bring my own bags?!”

While the two kept talking, Fluttershy kept herself occupied with a nice book. But occasionally, she turns to keep an eye on Velma and Fred, who was reading a copy of his own book to pass the time. Regardless if they were the only seats available, they didn’t speak for most of the flight.

A flash of light draws Fluttershy’s attention as she turns to Pinkie Pie, who had just snapped a picture of Rainbow Dash and Applejack sitting together. They were merely just taking a nap, but the way they cuddled together with them holding hands you’d swear there was something more. Pinkie merely giggles as allows the photo to clear and hide her camera in her hair. She was sitting next to Twilight Sparkle, who eyes her with an annoyed look. Pinkie merely just puts a finger over her mouth saying ‘shh’ while Twilight shakes her head, as Pinkie was just being… Well, “Pinkie”.

Twilight was merely playing with Flurry Heart, trying to keep her occupied during the flight. They were sitting close to Shaggy and Scooby by a ‘bar’ near their seats. Scooby sniffs and hungrily eyes a sandwich that Shaggy was admiring.

“Now that is a beautiful work of art,” Shaggy said.

Shaggy was just about to take a bite when his eyes widen at what strolled down the aisle. A very pretty blonde girl, looking around for a place to seat. She was the most beautiful creature Shaggy had ever seen, so much he didn’t notice Scooby ate the sandwich from his hand and put a magazine over his face to hide his actions. But Shaggy didn’t care, he was entranced by the power of love, the like of which he never felt before…

At least compared to all the “other” girls Shaggy did date during the whole franchise.

Dude, those are completely separate canons.

The girl eventually noticed Shaggy staring at her and smiled back at him.

“Would you mind me taking a seat there next to…?” The girl began, looking at Scooby.

The girl paused for a bit staring at the most unusual ‘woman’ she ever saw. Shaggy immediately butted in before things got awkward.

“To my grandma,” Shaggy spoke. “That’s my grandma.”

“Hi, Grandma,” The girl greeted.

“Like, no.”

Shaggy offers a seat, which the girl appreciated. She slides along Shaggy, who did his best to stay calm. Then suddenly, the girls sneezes with a cute ‘achoo’ before taking her seat next to ‘Grandma’.

“Bless you,” Shaggy whispered, smiling.

“I’m sorry,” The girl apologized. “My allergies. It’s usually only dogs that do it.”

Scooby Doo was just scratching with his hind leg, almost blowing his cover, when he stopped mid-sentence. Shaggy and Scooby look at each other nervously, as the girl’s allergies kicked in.

“Maybe I’d better move,” The girl said, about to get up.

“No, wait!” Shaggy said, stopping her. “It’s probably just my grandma’s perfume. Yeah, even I sometimes get a little allergic, you know.”

Shaggy made it seem like his own allergies kicked in, shouting ‘achoo’ almost imitating the girl. The girl at least thought it was funny enough, as she sat back down. Shaggy, meanwhile, as awkward as it appeared, had to make a ‘slight’ arrangement to this predicament.

“I’m pretty sure Grandma wants to go back and visit with her pal, Velma,” Shaggy continued. “Right, Grandma?”

Scooby Doo was stunned that he was getting pushed aside just so Shaggy can spend more time with some girl he just met. But the look on Shaggy’s eyes made it hard for Scooby to say no and even he didn’t want to spoil things for his best friend.

“Rokay,” Scooby said, reluctantly.

This did not go unnoticed by Twilight Sparkle, who couldn’t help but overhear. She watches as Scooby Doo steps off his seat so Shaggy can sick next to the blonde girl. From the look of his face, as he passed by, Scooby was a little upset.

“You okay, Scooby?” Twilight asked.

Scooby doesn’t answer, instead he turns to her sadly and shrugs. Flurry Heart’s coos get Scooby’s attention as he looks down toward the disguised little foal. He leans down and the little lass hugs his face while planting a kiss on his nose. Twilight smiled at the interaction between the two.

“Rank you,” Scooby said, smiling.

“You know Scooby, if you ever need someone to talk to or need cheering up, we’ll always help you if you want,” Twilight offered.

“Rank you, Rilight,” Scooby said.

As Scooby walks back further down the plane, Twilight keeps an eye on Shaggy, as he continues to talk to that girl. She was making herself comfortable and he noticed that she was taking out a ‘dog biscuit’ from a plastic bag and prepared to munch on it. This surprised Shaggy because he knew what they were.

“Boy, oh boy,” Shaggy said. “Those sure do look like Scooby Snacks.”

“I know they’re for dogs,” The girl said, nervously. “But they’re 100% vegetarian, and I love them.”

“Like, me too!”

“Far out!” The girl said, surprised. “I’ve never met another person who loves Scooby Snacks.”

“Me neither.”

“I’m Mary Jane.”

“Like, that’s my favorite name.”

“Really? No way.”

Twilight just shook her head, as clearly the two were flirting with each other. But, given that she had met a few boys herself whether it was a pony or a human from the other realm, it didn’t bother her so much.

<>

Meanwhile, Scooby Doo found an empty seat next to Velma and Fred, despite the fact all the passengers were looking at him.

“Rello,” Scooby said, casually.

Just then, Scooby’s nose catches a whiff of a peculiar scent. He sniffs the air and his eyes widen at what was right by him. A white cat with green eyes, sitting on the lap of a woman (Who ironically had ‘kitten’ written on it) and the cat itself was looking back at him. His instincts kicking in, Scooby barks at the cat who meows and hisses defensively. All eyes turned toward Scooby Doo, who was unintentionally drawing unwanted attention. This woke Applejack and Rainbow Dash who saw they were holding hands and quickly released, turning to the side while their cheeks blushed.

“Grandma?” Velma asked.

“Velma, it’s simple behavior modification,” Fred explains. “To cause a dog to discontinue any action, flick it on the nose. Observe.”

Fred turns toward Scooby.

“Scoob?”

Scooby Doo turns to face Fred, who flicks him right on the nose drawing him back.

“See?”

But Scooby Doo, not taking it very well, punches Fred right in the face. The cat escapes from the passenger’s lap and Scooby Doo hops off his seat. Next thing Twilight and her friends witnessed was loud barking filling the plane, as Scooby rushed by on all fours chasing a cat. Shaggy practically had to leave his seat to get his friend to stop.

“Sit, Grandma! Bad, Grandma! Don’t eat the kitty!”

Flurry Heart laughed and clapped at this funny scene, while Twilight rubbed her temples and sighed.

“This is going to be a ‘long’ flight,” Twilight muttered.

Spooky Island

Author's Notes:

Hey guys a few quick things before we begin. First I want to say thank you to Phantom_Dragon for a few quotes in this chapter. Thanks again man they were really funny.

Second I don’t know when I’ll get the next chapter up because I will be house sitting for a few days. Don’t worry though I’ll try to get it up ASAP

To say the plane ride couldn’t get any more chaotic, that would be a gross understatement. Although the gang were finally able to calm Scooby, more problems would present themselves beyond their control. Flurry Heart started to get fussy, which of course meant issues for Twilight Sparkle. Flurry’s magic would start going haywire and that’s when weird things happen: Random people disappearing and re-appearing in random seats, electronic devices coming to life, etc. Thankfully, Twilight was able to catch all this stuff before anyone truly took notice while trying to calm Flurry.

Finally, after a long flight and much to Twilight’s relief, they finally made it toward Spooky Island. Well ‘technically’, the plane had landed at the docks and all the passengers were escorted to a boat that would take them to the island. The old Mystery Inc. gang and the ‘Equestria Girls’ were all aboard as the boat sailed across the sea toward the resort. A short while into the ride, Rainbow Dash turned from her normal shade of cyan to a sickly green color, clutching her stomach and started feeling woozy.

“Ya’ll alright there, sugar cube?” Applejack asked, concerned.

“Yeah I’m—I’m alright,” Rainbow assured, between breaths. “I just—I just need to…”

Not even a moment later, Rainbow Dash rushed toward the side of the boat and leaned over. She starts emptying her stomach into the water in copious amounts. Applejack walked over and rubbed her friend’s back, comforting her as best as she could.

Wish Rainbow Dash was this sensitive to Applejack when she was seasick that one time.

Would you ‘please’ just let that go?!

The rest of the girls weren’t doing much better. As the ship rocked along the sea, they were barely able to keep their footing. Even Twilight stumbled a bit, trying to keep a tight hold of Flurry Heart, probably the only one having fun on this little ride.

“Whoa!” Pinkie cried, almost falling over.

“I can’t keep my balance!” Fluttershy said, stumbling. “How do humans do this?”

“Honestly Fluttershy,” Twilight began. “I have no idea!”

Eventually, the boat reached the island dock granting all the passengers a good look at the resort. Spooky Island was bigger than they imagined, with all sorts of rides and attractions. But unlike most theme park attractions, they were all made to look scary. Even the greeters welcoming their guests all dressed to look frightening. Fluttershy squeaked and hid behind her friends, as they slowly walked along the dock.

“Welcome to Spooky Island,” A booming voice announced. “The frightfully popular spring break spot for college students.”

The two groups turn their heads, looking for the source. They eventually discover what appears to be an animatronic, in the form of a large monster with a pointy nose and waving its long arms.

“Catch our Electrical Torture Parade, ‘It’s a Dead World After All’, and the world famous Splatterhorn! Ho-oh-oh-oh-oh!!! SCOOBY-DOO?!”

Scooby Doo and the gang, including their new Equestrian friends (Though only Shaggy and Scooby knew who they were), all stopped dead in their tracks. All at once, the announcer immediately expressed his fanboy side.

“And the rest of Mystery Inc.! Oh, it’s marvelous to see you! Oh, fanta—”

The animatronic was waving its arms excitedly, all the while hitting a few passing tourists.

“Oh! I’m so sorry,” The announcer apologized. “Just a second, I just need… Oh!”

With a loud, audible, cartoonish pop, an odd-looking man pulled himself from the contraption.

“Sorry, it’s a new toy,” The man explained. “I’m just getting up to speed with it.”

“Hey!” Pinkie Pie pointed. “It’s Mr. Bean!”

Everyone looked at the party girl in confusion. The man himself looked from side to side until turning back toward the pink-shaded girl.

“I beg your pardon?” The man asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Sorry, wrong movie!” Pinkie blushed.

Pinkie Pie pulled out a list of movies from the ‘Cinematic Adventures Set List’, beginning to look over…

PINKIE PIE!!! GIVE THAT BACK!!!

Pinkie Pie looks toward the front of the screen. Smiling in embarrassment before handing the list over toward the front and it appears to disappear before resuming the scene.

Great. Now I got to change the safe combination… Again.

“Sorry about her, sir,” Twilight spoke up. “She means well.”

The man in question just laughed and shrugged it off.

“Oh, no worries my dear. By the way, who are you?”

Before anyone else could speak up, Shaggy jumped in to answer for her.

“This is my cousin Twilight,” Shaggy introduced, quickly. “Her sister, Flurry, and her friends Rainbow, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie.”

Everyone turned toward Shaggy, with looks that would scream ‘what the heck’. Shaggy just awkwardly steps back, allowing the others to resume talking.

“He’s quite right, sir,” Twilight smiled.

“Oh, I see,” The man nodded, understandably. “Well not to sound rude, my dear, but I don’t recall inviting any of you.”

“Well you see, sir,” Shaggy said, chuckling nervously. “They came all the way from… ‘Canada’, to visit me at the last minute. I didn’t want to leave them by themselves, so I brought them along. I hope that’s not a problem.”

“Oh no, of course not,” The guy quickly shook his head. “Just caught me off guard. I’m glad you brought them; I’ve been meaning to see how my part would work with different age groups.”

A moment later, Daphne trudged along dragging all her luggage. Once she saw the man, she dropped them on the ground.

“Oh, thank goodness,” Daphne sighed. “I was afraid I’d have to lug these all the way up to the hotel.”

“Oh, but that’s what Spooky Island is all about,” The man replied. “Realizing your worst fears.”

“So, I’m guessing you’re this Mondevarious dude, right?” Rainbow asked.

“Quite right, my dear. I am Emile Mondevarious, the owner of this amusement park.”

“You seem less—” Velma started.

“Spooky!” Shaggy added.

“—Than we’d have guessed,” Velma finished.

“Oh, I can be quite spooky when called upon,” Mr. Mondevarious insisted, trying to sound scary. “I can go ‘rawr rawr’ with claws and everything. Oh yes, you wouldn’t want to run into me in a dark alley.

“Seems more creepy than spooky,” Rarity whispered to Rainbow Dash.

“Yeah, I’m totally shaking,” Rainbow said, sarcastically.

“W-W-Well, I’m quite s-scared,” Fluttershy shook.

As for Velma, she couldn’t help but eye Mondevarious curiously.

“So, you’re the one who brought us here?” She questioned.

“No… No, what brought you here was your insatiable appetite for a juicy mystery,” Mondevarious said.

Rainbow Dash leans toward Twilight, whispering so this way he doesn’t hear.

“This guy seems suspicious, doesn’t he?”

Twilight Sparkle didn’t understand right away. She merely observed Mondevarious, as he led them down the docks. Even so, she couldn’t help but agree with Rainbow Dash of all ponies.

“He didn’t even question any further as to why we came along. He just let it go and accepted us without question.”

As they all walked along, Daphne stands alongside Mr. Mondevarious.

“The truth is Mr. Mondevarious,” Daphne explained. “Mystery Inc. is broken up.”

“Oh, but that’s the beauty of something broken,” Mondevarious explained. “It can be fixed. There in lies its potential and I need you to fix Spooky Island.”

“What’s the problem?” Velma asked.

“I believe someone is casting a spell on the students.”

Those words alone sparked the attention of the Equestria Girls. Anything to do with words like ‘magic’ and ‘spells’, especially for dangerous circumstance, is more than enough to draw them in. If there is a problem involving magic, who better to help than these girls. They pondered the matter as Mondevarious led them off the dock onto the sands of the island gesturing to the arriving students and the ones lined up to leave.

“Now listen and look around,” Mondervarious spoke. “Notice any difference between those arriving and those departing?”

The gang looked around and eventually noticed the difference. The group of college kids just arriving were all acting crazy, the kind to drink and party. The ones just leaving were all dressed neatly, standing in line like soldiers.

“They look like sober, well-behaved college kids,” Velma observed.

“Yes, but they didn’t before they came. They changed. In other words, a magic spell.”

“Mr. Mondevarious, if I may say myself,” Rarity interrupts. “That doesn’t sound all that out of the ordinary; it seems like children growing up. I’ve seen this happen to my sister back home.”

“I have to agree with Rarity,” Twilight nodded. “Just because these kids are more well-behaved doesn’t mean anything supernatural is going on here.”

“Carol!”

A voice caused the group to turn, as one of the arriving kids approached one of the kids just leaving. In this case, the one girl standing in front of the line.

“Hey Carol, how was the island?” The young man asked.

The girl didn’t answer right away, she just started at him with a long, far-off expression.

“Are you tricking on me?” She asked.

Both groups all looked at each other curiously, before turning back toward the scene.

“Carol it’s me, it’s Brad,” The guy said. “We’ve known each other since we were like three.”

Then, in a quick instant, Carol grabbed Brad, growling as she lifted him fully over her head with overwhelming strength.

“Get off my grill, son!”

“Carol, what are you doing?”

Everybody just looked on, shocked and horrified. All at once, the girl displayed such power and strength unlike anything they’ve seen. The girl threw Brad clear across the beach, landing with a thud at their feet. The kids departing grabbed their bags, walking along the dock as Brad scurried to his feet and took off. Shaken and scared, Mondevarious turned toward the gang.

“I’m terrified,” Mondevarious shook. “And the young people that step off that barge, the people I love the most, they’re in danger!”

“Excuse us, Mr. Mondevarious,” Twilight said, facing her friends. “Girls, group huddle!”

Twilight grabs the rest of the girls, pulling them aside to huddle. She even held Flurry close enough so she wouldn’t draw any attention.

“Well, this just turned into a very weird situation really fast,” Twilight said.

“Yah think, Twi?” Applejack asked. “Did you see that girl just grab that guy and chuck him halfway cross the beach?”

“Not to mention how expressionless those kids were?” Rarity added. “They seemed like mindless zombies!”

“I know,” Twilight sighed. “I wish I could explain it myself.”

Flurry started to wiggle around in her arms, starting to whine. Twilight tried to readjust her a bit, but Flurry kept whining.

“What’s wrong, Flurry?” Twilight asked.

Flurry points her tiny hoof and they all turned toward where she was looking at. To their surprise, she was pointing directly toward Mondevarious who looked at the newly arriving kids nervously.

“Mondevarious?” Twilight asked Flurry.

The little filly nodded, pressing her face onto Twilight’s shirt. Twilight just stroke her niece’s mane, trying to calm her down, as she turned back toward Mondevarious. Although he seemed harmless enough, apart from being weird, she couldn’t shake the feeling something was wrong with this man. The problem was: She didn’t know what it was.

“I’m gonna solve this one first,” Velma said, excitedly.

“Not if I solve it first!” Fred bragged.

“You guys are going to look like total, total idiots when you’re captured and I’m the one saving you!” Daphne snarked, walking off.

The others walked off as well, leaving Mondevarious with Shaggy, Scooby and the girls.

“Thank you,” Mondevarious said. “Marvelous! Perhaps we can celebrate later with a little ‘spookapalooza’.”

“Ra-Ra-Ra-Ra-Rookapalooza?” Scooby asked, nervously. “Ruh roh!”

The girls looked at each other nervously. There was something weird going on around here and there were determined to find out what it is. As they left to get settled in their rooms, Twilight turned back to Pinkie Pie, who was scratching behind her ears.

“Pinkie, what’s wrong?” Twilight asked.

“I don’t know if it’s just me, but do you think we’re forgetting something?” Pinkie asked. “Or ‘someone’?”

Twilight Sparkle thought about it for a moment, then her eyes widen as her glasses slant.

“Oh no…”

Back in Equestria, Spike had been fiddling with that television set for an unknown time. No matter how many buttons and knobs he turned, even turning it on and off, the portal would not open. All the television would do was show the events of the adventure on screen, forcing him to sit and watch while feeling concerned for his friends. He couldn’t shake the feeling they were approaching something dangerous in this world and not knowing something could happen to them at any time. Not even the bowl of homemade nachos with all the trimmings were enough to calm his nerve.

“I know, Twilight,” Spike said, even if she couldn’t hear. “I really wish I could help you guys; but how?”

Spike was trying to think when a knock at the castle doors jolt his attention from the T.V. The knock had him jump with a start, nearly spilling his snack. He puts the bowl down and approaches the doors. Opening them wide, Spike was surprised to see Princess Celestia standing there.

“Oh, uh h-h-hello Princess!” Spike stammered. “Um, I didn’t—Didn’t know you’d be coming!”

“Hello Spike,” Celestia said, urgently. “Forgive me for coming by so suddenly, but I really needed to speak to Twilight. It’s a matter of upmost importance; did she receive my letter?”

Spike looked at her with wide eyes, as a bead of sweat ran down his face. He scratched the back of his head, trying to look away nervously. This, of course, did not go unnoticed by the sun princess.

“What’s wrong, Spike?” The Princess asked.

“Well, you see Princess um—Well, you see—The thing is—You might want to see this.”

Spike led the Princess into the library, showing her what he’s been watching on the television. Celestia could see the Mane Six, they were assuming a different form, but she recognized their color and their cutie marks stitched on clothing. They were with these college kids and a Great Dane, on some mysterious island. With each passing moment, Celestia’s eyes grew wider and slowly she backs away from the screen. When Spike could see her face, it was a mix of horror and worry.

“Oh no, it’s worse than I thought,” Celestia said, nervously. “This is not good at all.”

“Princess, you sent a scroll because you had something urgent to discuss,” Spike points out. “I know it’s not my place, but I need to know… What was Twilight supposed to hear?”

This seem to draw the princess back to reality for a moment, at least enough to release a sigh. When she could breathe again, she turned to address the minuscule dragon.

“With Twilight Sparkle and her friends in this new world, the timing could not be any worse for what has just occurred.”

“Why? What happened Princess?”

Celestia walked back over to the television, overlooking her protégé and her friends. Then she turns back to Spike and he could see within her eyes something was very wrong.

“Because one of their most dangerous foes, an enemy from ages past, has followed them to this world… And they found them!”
