At Grimwood's the drawbridge lowered and the class followed the boys for a run.

"Like follow us, girls. There's nothing like a little run to get you in shape" Shaggy said.

"And we don't have to wear a tutu either" Scrappy said.

"Reah! No tutu" Scooby said laughing.

"Ah! There's nothing like feeling the wind running through your hair" Sibella said.

"This is good for the heart. Mine are both beating fast" Elsa said.

"The crisp air feels good on my bones. How you doing back there, Tanis?" Skellie called out.

"Great, Skellie. I've got built in leg warmers" Tanis said.

Winnie howled as she ran on all fours.

"That's the spirit, Tanis" Winnie said.

Shaggy and Scooby ran over top of Matches who was digging a hole in the pumpkin patch.

"Hey, Matches. Like how about burning up a few miles?" Shaggy asked while running.

Matches growled and shook his head before he resumed digging.

"Like, sorry I asked" Shaggy said.

"Gee, maybe his pilot light went out" Scrappy said.

"I just love running through the trees" Elsa said.

"Me too" Phantasma said giggling.

Elsa ran past the boys.

"Last one's a rotten apple" Elsa said as apples fell from the trees.

The boys yelled as they slipped and fell on the apples. They landed against a tree.

"Like as long as we're here, we might as well take a break, and a bite" Shaggy said as he and Scooby each grabbed an apple.

"Reah, a rite" Scooby said.

They took a bite of the apples only to exclaim in disgust.

"Oh? Don't you like crabapples? They're fangtastic" Sibella said before eating an apple and sucking out its juices.

"Mmm. They're rotten" Sibella said.

Shaggy and Scooby tossed the apples away.

"Like you girls have strange tastes. Come on, gusy" Shaggy said as the run reesumed.

The girls followed them while happily munching on apples.

Skellie stopped running when she noticed Matches.

"Hey, Matches, What 'cha got there?" Skellie asked.

Matches proudly showed off his volleyball before burying it.

"Is that the Calloway Cadets ball?" Skellie asked.

Matches nodded proudly.

Just then an angry Miss Grimwood and Hand came over.

"Matches! How many times do I have to tell you? Don't dig in the pumpkin patch. We need them all for our Halloween open house. And you certainly can't carve that into a Jack-O-Lantern. Now, get rid of it" Miss Grimwood said.

Skellie bent down and picked up the ball.

"I'll take care of it, Miss Grimwood" Skellie said.

Miss Grimwood nodded.

"Very well. Thank you, dear" Miss Grimwood said.

Meanwhile the Calloway Cadets were filling up water balloons.

"Here's another water balloon, Grunt" Baxter said handing him a balloon.

Simon walked up to the younger Cadets.

"What are you doing this time?" Simon asked.

"We're getting our ball back" Tug said.

"How's that air bazooka coming, Miguel?" Jamal asked.

"Be paitent, guys. It's surplus surplus. Some assembling is required" Miguel said working on the bazooka.

"Your Master plan to get our ball back involves a bazooka" Simon said unimpressed.

Tug glared at him.

"I'd like to hear your ideas on how to deal with that weird dog" Tug said.

"Your just gonna enrage him" Simon pointed out.

"It's finished! But maybe we should test it out first" Miguel said.

"Good idea, Miguel. But not until I say fire" Tug said as Miguel got into position.

Tug held up a water balloon.

"This should put out that Pup's fire"

"Fire?" Miguel asked.

"No! Not-"

Miguel pulled the trigger and a blast of air sent Tug flying.

"-Yet!"

Tug fell into the Colonel, the water balloon popping in his face.

"Cadet Roker! What is the meaning of this?!" The Colonel demanded.

"Uh, I can explain everything, Sir" Tug said pulling the balloon off of the Colonels face.

Simon face palmed before he felt a pebble hit the back of his head. He turned around confused only to look surprised when he saw Skellie waving from the hedge. She pulled out the volleyball and pointed to it.

Simon smiled at her before checking his surroundings. Seeing that the others were distracted by the Colonel, he snuck over to he hedge. Skellie handed him the volleyball.

"Thanks, Skellie, good luck at the game today" Simon whispered.

"Thanks, Simon, you too. See you then" Skellie said with a wink before departing.

Simon walked up to the Cadets and the Colonel.

"The volleyball was missing in action Sir" Tug said.

"So we planned a recovery action" Jamal said.

"Volleyball retrieved, Sir" Simon said handing the ball to the Colonel and saluting.

The Cadets were shocked.

"What!? How did you get that!?" Tug asked.

"It doesn't matter. Now report to the volleyball court at once!" The Colonel ordered.

The Cadets saluted.

"YES SIR!"

"Hup hup hup hup!" The Colonel said as the cadets ran.

Jamal stopped and gave the Colonel his wet hat back.

"Your hat, Colonel Calloway" Jamal said.

"Thank you, Cadet Williams" The Colonel said placing his hat on his head only for it to shrink.

"For nothing" The Colonel said.
