Cherry and Atticus on Zombie Island

chapter 8

Scooby, Shaggy, and Darla were starting to pack up the picnic basket that they found.

"Potato salad," Darla listed the foods as she added them to the basket with Shaggy and Scooby. "Pickled peppers, a 20 foot long sandwich--" she then looked up. "Uh, guys, that sandwich doesn't look like it's gonna stick."

"Like, we have a solution to that." Shaggy said.

"Oh?" Darla asked.

Shaggy and Scooby then ate the sandwich on both sides to narrow it down and then made it into a five foot sub instead of twenty.

"Brilliant..." Darla muttered.

"Now, off to the picnic we go." Shaggy smiled.

"You got it." Darla agreed.

Shaggy and Scooby carried the basket as they then went off to their little picnic.

Velma, Mo, and Discord soon came back into the kitchen, coming over to the wall where the writing was.

"You're sure you didn't do anything, O Lord of Chaos?" Mo gave a warning look to Discord.

"I swear!" Discord promised. "Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!"

"What the heck was that?" Velma asked.

"What was what?" Discord asked.

"Never mind that now." Mo said as she examined the wall.

Velma shrugged, then hummed in thought as she then picked at the wall as she had a suspicion there.

"Here, use this." Discord magicked up a spatula so she could do that easier and quicker.

"Thanks." Mo smiled.

Velma then used the spatula to try to scratch harder to see if she could find anything unusual and there were letters which spelled out 'MAELSTROM'. Atticus soon entered the kitchen with Lena still in his arms.

'What are you doing in my kitchen?" Lena asked, almost as though she were offended by the others.

"Jinkies!" Velma was surprised. "Looks like I got carried away."

"Hello, Lena, how's your ankle?" Mo folded her arms with narrowed eyes.

"A little better." Lena said as she started to feel Atticus's chest/pecs.

Mo twitched as she looked angry and jealous of the actions.

"Uh, let's go in the library..." Velma said quickly and left with Discord.

Mo glared and then left with them.

Cherry was in the library as she leaned in a chair. "Ah, total relaxation, I could get used to this... No evil spells to worry about, no ghosts to chill me... And best of all, no loudmouth annoying warlocks."

"Cherry, please help us find a book while trying to help me keep Mo calm." Velma said.

Cherry opened one eye. "Can't you see I'm resting?"

"Come on, Cherry..." Velma said.

Cherry sighed, then got up as she walked over. "Okay, what book are we looking for?"

"Something that can tell about a ship's name." Velma said.

Cherry adjusted her glasses and skimmed through the various books. She then found a possible book and opened it to see if she could find anything for Velma. Mo continued to look enraged as she couldn't stop thinking about Lena and thinking of her as an evil witch.
