Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School (OC's Included)

Chapter Four: Mr. Calloway

Sibella opened the front door, and revealed a man with a small moustache and a pronounced nose, wearing a blue military uniform. He looked to be in his late 30's or so, and looked very smart and sharp.

"Excuse me, is Ms. Grimwood there?" The man asked.

"Who should I ask is here to meet Ms. Grimwood, Sir?" Braedey asked him in return, as he walked up to the front door.

"Colonel Calloway." The man introduced himself to the young brunette, then looked spooked by Sibella's bat form. "Your place is ridden with bats!"

"Something tells me this man doesn't know how to treat a lady, huh, Braedey?" Sibella giggled, as she turned back to normal form next to Braedey. The brunette mentally snickered, and covers his mouth with his hand to hide his smirking.

Calloway blinked at her, still freaked out by her sudden transformation. "Where'd you come from, young lady!?"

"From up there." Sibella pointed upstairs to the Colonel. "Ms. Grimwood should be here any moment. Make yourself comfortable."

"It's the least we all can do." Braedey added.

The three of them all entered the living room and where, while the Colonel wasn't looking, Sibella turned back into her bat form.

The Colonel was still freaked out by this. "Thank you." He turned back, then looked alarmed when Sibella turned back. "This school must have bats in its belfry..."

"He doesn't know?" Braedey whispered to Bat Sibella.

"I guess not..." Sibella shrugged her wings to the brunette, as she flapped them to keep herself in the air above the male's heads.

Calloway went to sit down in a chair, but it trapped him in metal chains.

"It looks like this place has it's own trap chairs." Braedey commented to himself, crossing his arms across his chest.

"Ah, Colonel Calloway." Ms. Grimwood came up into the male's views. "How nice of you to pay us a visit."

"M-Ms. Grimwood, this chair is-!" Calloway tried to break himself free.

"Ah, yes." Ms. Grimwood smiled, like it was a normal thing for anything. "It's a collector's item. Early in the position. But not very comfortable, I'm afraid. Would you prefer a comfier chair?" She asked the Colonel, snapping her fingers to free the Colonel from the trap chair.

"Thank you." Colonel Calloway said, as he got out of the chair and goes over to a softer, less trapping chair.

"Now, how about some tea and sweets?" Ms. Grimwood suggested.

"Negative, Ms. Grimwood. I'm on a strict, military diet." Calloway replied, trying to get serious again.

"Nonsense, you absolutely must taste my fudge." Ms. Grimwood said as she hits a gong.

An octopus came with the gong, carrying cups and plates in his tentacles. Calloway was alarmed.

"I made it this morning." Ms. Grimwood added with a smile.

"W-Well, if you insist... Thank you..." Calloway took a piece, nervously.

The octopus then poured Ms. Grimwood a cup of tea.

"Delicious, if I do say so myself..." Ms. Grimwood took the cup, as she bit into her fudge.

Calloway bit into his piece, finding it hard to digest. "Doesn't it taste a little... Mouldy?"

"Of course, Conoel!" Ms. Grimwood told him as she wiped her mouth. "Fungus Fudge always tastes moldy!"

"FUNGUS FUDGE!?" Calloway screamed out, then tried to wash it down with his tea.

Since he didn't want his fudge, Matches ate it instead.

"You like it, don't you, Matches?" Braedey asked the baby dragon.

Matches licked his lips, and nodded his head. Braedey chuckled a little, then patted Matches' head.

"Yes, it goes so well with toadstool tea." Ms. Grimwood smiled.

Calloway gulped as he looked to the cup. "T-Toadstool Tea?" He dropped his cup on the baby dragon's head.

"Ooh, that's gotta hurt." Braedey said, wincing.

"Uh... Negative, Ms. Grimwood..." Calloway shook his hands nervously. "I think it's time we arrange our annual volleyball game. My cadets are, uhh... Looking forward to winning again this year. Is it getting a bit warm in here?"

"It's going to get a lot hotter on the volleyball court, Colonel." Ms. Grimwood smirked to him. "We got a new coach, and I'd like for you to meet him."

The octopus pulled on a string.

"I have a feeling he's about to slide in, quite literally." Braedey commented.

Shaggy and Scooby, did indeed slide in, passing them. The octopus then pulled them back and had them meet Colonel Calloway.

"Shaggy, I'd like you to meet Colonel Calloway." Ms. Grimwood told the cowardly teen.

"Helloooo!" Calloway greeted, but his seat was hot enough to make him jump from it.

"Like, don't get up on my account, Colonel." Shaggy chuckled.

"Looks like he got to meet Matches." Braedey chuckled to himself.

"Bad boy, Matches!" Ms. Grimwood scolded, seeing the dragon under the Colonel's chair.

Matches growled; he really didn't like the colonel.

"I say the girls are ready to play against your school." Braedey said. "What do you say, Colonel?"

"Um, well, we'll report here in 1400 hours." Calloway agreed. "Synchronize our watches."

"I don't have a watch, though..." Braedey said.

"But we do!" Shaggy spoke up, showing his watch with Scooby. Even the octopus had watches on all four of his tentacles.

"Check, over and out." Calloway saluted, then went to head back to his school.

"Gee, looks like the colonel's all warmed up for the game." Braedey joked to himself.

"You'd better start getting the girls ready, Shaggy and Braedey." Ms. Grimwood told the boys.

"Like, what's the rush, Ms. G?" Shaggy spotted fudge with Scooby. "We got 1400 hours until the match. That's a lot of time!"

"Reah!" Scooby took some fudge.

"That means 2:00, guys." Braedey said as she pointed to the grandfather clock that read 1:00. "So that means we've only got one hour to get the girls ready for the game."

"Like, why didn't you say so?" Shaggy shrugged. "Don't just stand there, time to warm up!" He grabbed his hand, pulling the brunette with him.
