Scooby Doo and the Curse of the Were-Rabbit

Chapter 3: Meeting

The Vicar was just closing up, when he heard something in the yard. He stopped, and looked around. He then closed up his garden house, and headed to the church. There, he placed the carrots he picked with the rest of the vegetables.

The candles went out, and the Vicar turned around. "Hello?"

The door closed, and something knocked over some candles.

"Hello? Is anybody there?"

There was a burp, and sniffing.

"Mrs. Mulch?"

There was then licking, and the Vicar said, "Ah, you're hungry! Well, take what you like. It is for the needy after all."

From the shadows, came a something that the Vicar never thought to see. He reached for his cross, but instead pulled out two cucumbers, and said, "MERCY!!!!!!"

The beast just bite the cucumbers, and the Vicar fainted. The beast then ate all the vegetables, and jumped out the window. All through the town, it feasted on the vegetables, and nothing was stopping it.

Next morning.....

Gromit awoke with a startle! He then went down stairs to see that all the lights were going off. The looked to see the alarm system had been tampered with.

"Like dude," said Shaggy, "Could you turn that noise down? Some of us are trying to-"

Shaggy saw the lights, and stopped.

Fred and Velma came down, and saw what was going on.

"What happened?" asked Fred, "Didn't the system go off?"

Gromit then pointed to the stove, and Velma looked around to see Cheese on the floor.

"I think Wallace might have been sleep walking. And eating," she said.

Scooby came down, and was dressed to make breakfast, but saw the alarms going off.

"Ruh row," he said, "Rat's ronnra re a rard rone to exrain to Rarrace."

Daphne came down, fully dressed, and said, "Hey guys. You would not believe the strange dream I had last night."

She then saw the mess, and the alarms.

Just then, the buttons were pressed, and Wallace came through the ceiling.

"OW!!!"

He sat down and got dressed, and said, "Morning everybody. A pest free night..... per...... chance?"

Wallace then looked at the paper. A whole night of vegetables destroyed.

Later....

The whole town was complaining in the church, and people were demanding an answer.

"Simmer down now, simmer down!!!" called the constable, "Now, one at a time, if you please!"

"We paid good money for our crop protection!"

"If you can't deliver the goods, then keep your trap shut!!"

The man then slammed down a broken cage. The heroes looked at the mangled bits of metal.

"I've never seen such cauliflower carnage. Worse than the big slug plague of 32! When there were slugs the size of pigs!"

"Throwback's right!" cried Mrs. Mulch, "The slugs are back!!"

"Calm down!!" said the constable, "Now, this happens every time the competition is near. This was just assin."

"Like, who's Assin?" asked Shaggy.

"Someone, assing about! One of you lot! You men!!"

"This was no man," said the Vicar. He came in on a wheel chair, and said, "Does a man, have teeth, as big as ax blades?"

Scooby and Shaggy were now shaking.

"Or ears like terrible tomb stones? By tampering with nature, forcing vegetables to grow beyond their natural sizes, we have brought upon us, a terrible judgement upon ourselves. And for our sins, we have brought a horrible monster to punish us all!!"

Shaggy then jumped into Scooby's arms, and the two were shaking like they were cold.

"Repent, REPENT, unless you too suffer the wrath of....... THE WERE-RABBIT!!!!!"

The doors opened, and wind blew through the church.

"Were-Rabbit?" asked Fred.

"I may have read about it in a book once," said Velma, "Said to be a superstition when someone's vegetable just disappear. No one has even had a sighting in over 50 years."

The town then panicked

"WHAT IS TO BECOME OF THE VEGETABLE COMPETITION!?!?"

"WE'RE SIMPLE FOLK!!! WE LIVE FOR THAT COMPETITION!!!!"

Just then, a gun shot was heard, and Victor came in.

"Oh come now, a were-rabbit? Oh, come come now. I think the Vicar has been to the communal wine again. This is no super natural rabbit. It's a big fellow perhaps. But a mortal creature, of flesh and blood. A matter easily delt with, a hunter."

"I don't even think this is an animal at all," said Fred.

"What do you mean?" asked the Vicar.

"This is clearly just something we've delt with at home," said Velma.

"It's probably just someone just dressed as a monster trying to get something," said Daphne, "It's how it usually is back home."

"Yeah," said Shaggy, "I bet, it's just a costume!"

"Reah!" said Scooby, "Ra Rostume!!"

"Well, how could you all catch a big rabbit?" asked Victor.

"With help of Anti Pesto," said Daphne, "We'll come up with a trap for the beast, and then, we'll find out who's been behind this."

"Well gang," said Fred, "Looks like we got another mystery on our hands."

"You're really doing this?" asked a man.

"We do stuff like this all the time back home," said Velma.

"Well, just get ready for something fantastic," said Fred.

"Oh no!" said Shaggy, "We came here to get AWAY from monsters! If you think that we are going to help you all catch a giant rabbit monster, you're crazy!!"

"Reah!" said Scooby.

"Not even for a Scooby snack?" asked Velma.

Shaggy and Scooby turned around, and stood away.

"I don't think they're gonna do it," said Victor.

"Perhaps some more persuasion?" asked Tottington.

"How about two Scooby Snacks?" asked Fred

Shaggy and Scooby still didn't crack.

"Would you do it for three?" asked Daphne.

Shaggy and Scooby finally cracked, and begged like dogs. They caught the treats, and Shaggy said, "What are we waiting for, let's catch us a bunny!!"

The town cheered, and Tottington wished the heroes luck.
