"Like, I wish we took leftovers." Shaggy remarked with a laugh while sitting in the back of the van. "I'm already starving again."
Scooby looked down at his stomach as it rumbled. He whimpered and looked to Shaggy.
"Rame Raggy, rame." He replied.
"You two ate around 5 mighty burger meals each, how are you starving?" Daphne questioned from the front.
"Aren't they always?" Velma pointed out.
"And we would have had more meals if we weren't interrupted by that like ghost." Shaggy informed.
"Rou rean roasts." Scooby corrected.
"Roasts? Where?" Shaggy looked around, then to Scooby. "Oh, you meant ghosts, as in there were like more than one."
Scooby nodded his head. "But ri rish rere were some roasts around."
"Roasts or ghosts, doesn't matter." Velma said. "What matters is I think I know who we're dealing with."
"The person behind the mask?" Fred asked.
"No, the ghosts... or at least one of them." Velma pulled out her computer. "Here." She pulled up a news article and re-aloud.
"Amity Park is home of the ghostly teen hero, Danny Phantom, who appears whenever ghosts attack.
The ghostly teen appeared about 4 months ago alongside other ghosts who threatened the town."
Velma stopped reading.
"So the teen ghost who we first saw is Danny Phantom?" Daphne questioned.
Velma nodded. "Yup, and it seems to me that he might be the one behind the ghost attacks."
"Reaning?" Scooby asked.
"Well, looks like he's a local celebrity here, why else but fame from the town?" Fred pointed out.
"But like, how would he fake being a ghost?" Shaggy asked.
"Projections and disguises." Velma answered. "What else."
"But if re's the rero of rhe rown, rhow rome re hasn't stopped the rostly robber?" Scooby asked.
"Maybe he has nothing to do with the ghostly robber." Daphne replied. "Therefore, he's staying away from that."
"So we have two different mysteries in our hands." Fred remarked. "But first we should focus on the ghostly robber, since we're already at the jewelry store."
It was true, the Mystery Machine was parked outside the recently robbed jewelry store.
"Like how long have we been here?" Shaggy asked.
"Lost track of time." Fred replied. "Now come on!"
Fred slid out of the Mystery Machine, followed by the rest of the gang.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Scooby gang walked past the crime tape and found the owner of the jewelry store. She was making her testimony to the police, explaining in detail what happened. After she was finished talking to the police, the Scooby gang approached her.
"Um, excuse miss....---" Fred started off.
The jewelry store owner turned to him.
"Ms. Brown." The jewelry store owner answered.
"Ah, Ms. Brown." Fred paused. "Could you tell us what happened last night at the jewelry store?"
Ms. Brown looked confused.
