"We did it guys," I exclaimed feeling over the moon about there success on there latest mystery. 

"Another mystery solved," Velma said give me a high-five. 

"We should go celebrate," Daphne said. 

"Yes Pizza!" Shaggy and I exclaimed in unison.

We all heard a loud bang and the door to the jail cell we were accidentally in closed and locked. They looked over and saw the sheriff staring at them, "I've got a better idea," he said and glared at all of us. 

"Come on sheriff," Fred complained. 

"Cork it, you see this badge," the sheriff said pointing to the star of his police uniform."You know why it's here."

"Because it came with the shirt," I answered in a bored tone. 

"No, Madelyn. . . it is here because if there is a crime, I solve it, not you six." He replied angrily and storms off, as he reaches the door he looks back at them with an evil grin.

"Oh and by the way, I called all your parents who by now I have on speed dial, oh, oh, oh, are you in trouble. Especially you Fred, with your dad being the mayor, it is just bad for business." He says.

Maddie rolls her eyes and lay down on the bench. "This happens all the time, it's not like he can actually charge us this anything," She said.

Velma

"Welcome to the Crystal Cove haunted tour, I'm your ghoulish guide Velma," I said in the most mono-tone tone every. "The first documented case of the curse of crystals cove is from 1630, when a garrison of Spanish Conquistadors mysteriously vanished from the harbor." I rolled my eyes.

It was the third time I was forced to say this today I was so bored, "Oh, that's so scary, where did they go!" One of the tourists exclaimed. 

I mentally face palm myself, "what part of the word Mystery did you not understand." I replied in the same bored tone. I really hated this job, no wonder my mom had made it punishment for getting in trouble with the sheriff again, but the gang was just trying to help.

I took a deep breath, "the curse struck again in 1765 when an entire town of missionaries likewise disappeared," the entire crowd I was guiding gasped and I just yawned, I was so sick of this.

I walked over to the sign that said, 'Crystal Cove, The most hauntedest place on earth.' Even the idiot people in this town were stupid enough to spell that wrong. "Anyway, things were pretty quiet until 100 years later, when Cletus Darrow found gold here and renamed the town, Crystal Cove." I said slowly, I got paid based on how long the tour lasted so I just talked really slowly.

A man took a picture of me with the sign, "many people thought the curse had been lifted until the entire Darrow family disappeared one Halloween, and was never seen again." I said waving my hands as dramatic as I could, like my parents forced me to.

I played a recording of a woman screaming and they all gasped again. I rolled my eyes and turned towards my parents museum. "Moving on," I said my voice still monotoned. We walked into the museum and walked by all the murderers and criminals my gang had caught.

"Since the disappearance of the Darrow family, Crystal Cove has been a hub of paranormal mysteries, you might have recognized our more famous visitors- Ghostly Deep Sea Diver Captain Cutler, Miner' 49er, Charlie the Haunted robot, and who could forget the terrifying stylings of Space Kook? Not me." My voice dripped of sarcasm and I picked at my nails not paying attention because I had memorized what I was supposed to say.
