Mask of the Blue Falcon

chapter 10

Shaggy soon turned off the TV as he and Scooby had watched this from inside the Mystery Machine.

"Everybody's laughing at us." Scooby frowned.

"It's only YouTube," Courtney replied. "I mean, how many people really saw it?"

"42,000,000 hits so far." Cindy calculated.

"Oops..." Courtney cringed nervously.

"Man, I can never show my face in school again," Flem groaned. "This is worse than the time Kevin said that I wore lipstick."

Chicken patted his best friend on the back.

"And it's gotten 3,000,000 LOLs, 1.5,000,000 ROFLs, and one BRB Gotta clean the litter box, Mom is going crazy." Velma added.

"At least it's not the bad part of YouTube where there's a random flame war and people get butt hurt." Cindy commented as she gently rocked her legs back and forth as she lay on the floor.

"We're laughing stocks of the whole world!" Flem cried out.

There was then a ringing sound heard and Daphne answered her cell phone from her purse. "Hello? Mr. Rabble?"

'I didn't know who else to call,' Jack replied. 'Have you kids seen Owen?'

"No, Mr. Rabble, not since the Mr. Hyde attacks, why?" Daphne asked.

"Oh, it's probably nothing," Jack replied with a sigh. "Owen's probably fine, he does this... Goes off on his own and all, and we have a ransom placed. Don't worry." he then hung up.

"Okay..." Daphne said as she turned off her phone then. "That was weird."

Mike was outside with Lil who was ranting and raving.

"Calling us nitwits," Lil complained. "I wanna break his legs!"

"Take it easy, Lil, we'll prove him wrong," Mike promised. "One way or another."

"I'll show him a nitwit!" Lil sneered.

Mike just patted her back and saw Shaggy, Flem, and Earl in the Mystery Machine.

"Come on, you guys," Brianna told them. "We still have a mystery to solve."

"You can't hide in there forever." Katrina added.

"You have to be seen sometime." Velma agreed.

"Not without this paper bag on my head!" Shaggy replied as he wore a bag on his head with a crudely drawn face. "It's never coming off! It's kinda peaceful under here..." he then leaned back to drink a soda only for it to miss his mouth obviously enough. "Uh... Still working out some of the kinks."

Flem and Earl even wore the paper bag as well.

"We'll be the laughing stocks at school." Flem frowned.

"Yeah, we'll be worse than Cindy!" Earl added.

"Hey!" Cindy glared.

"Where'd Scooby go?" Trent asked.

Scooby was shown in the dark alley and was holding his Dynomutt costume to throw away in the trash. Darren was walking taking pictures of the situation with Mr. Hyde and Dr. Fea,r he noticed the cowardly Great Dane, looking upset and he hid behind the wall so Scooby wouldn't see him.

"Poor boy," Darren frowned for poor Scooby. "He tried to be a hero, but no one will respect him as one."

Scooby soon thought about what Shaggy told him before he sulked. "I'm no hero, I'm a joke... I won't be Dynomutt no more... Forever!" He then threw away his Dynomutt costume in the trash and walked away while crying.
