Shaggy's Showdown

chapter 3

They then came into the house as a woman with hair like Shaggy's but in a low braid in a sky blue shirt with a black vest, a white hat, with blue jeans and brown boots.

"It's unbelievable." Tawny commented.

"Uncanny." Kimberly added.

"Unreal." Tawny agreed.

"Uncomfortable." Shaggy groaned.

"You look exactly like him." Tawny said.

"Like, who?" Shaggy asked.

"Dapper Jack Rogers!" Tawny told him as she showed a portrait above the fireplace. "Our ancestor, and the greatest outlaw these parts have ever seen!"

Scooby looked at the portrait and saw the resemblance. "Routraw?"

Shaggy gulped at that.

"Whoa, you look just like him, Shaggy." Fred said.'

"It could be you on Halloween." Daphne agreed.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't introduce myself," Tawny shook hands with Shaggy. "I'm Tawny Rogers, your third cousin twice removed."

"Like, thank you for the invitation, cous." Shaggy laughed.

"Aw, heck," Tawny smiled. "Just an opportunity to get to know your relatives."

"Excuse me, but didn't someone say something about a ghost earlier?" Cindy spoke up.

"Yeah! That guy threatened to turn me into one!" Shaggy pointed to the bigger guy.

"And that girl too!" Mike added while pointing to Kimberly.

"We said we were sorry, get over it!" Kimberly huffed.

"The ghost of Dapper Jack has been terrorizing the town." Tawny told the others.

"Say, cous, who's that girl and that big man?" Scott asked.

"That's Raft and his daughter, Kimberly." Millie told him.

"Anyway, wouldn't a ghost in a ghost town be good for business?" Cindy asked.

"Uh, well, it would, except he shoots green flames and he smells... Very bad." Raft told her.

"Like, how come no one in my family ever mentioned this famous relative?" Shaggy asked.

"Probably because he's famous for bein' a violent gunslinger," Raft told him. "So evil, his ghost has come back to terrorize the whole town."

This caused for Shaggy and Scooby to get scared.

"Well, it looks like we got another mystery on our hands." Fred noticed.

"I should be charging him a dollar every time he says that." Brianna whispered to Trent.

"Oh, man," Shaggy groaned. "I can't believe my most famous ancestor was a outlaw. What if it's in my blood, what if I go bad?! That time in first grade when I stole a cookie, this totally explains it! I'm bad to the bone!"

"Rettle rown, Raggy!" Scooby shook his best friend.

"This reminds me of when we went to Oakhaven." Cindy commented.

"Shaggy, look at me, I know what you mean," Mike coaxed to the cowardly teen. "My Uncle Jess was an ex-gunslinger and look, he at how he turned out, he works at the Sherman Ranch."

This made Tawny and Raft gasp.

"You know Jess Harper?" Raft asked. "The Jess Harper?!"

"Yeah, he's my uncle." Mike explained.

"No way!" Tawny gasped.

"Way way, he's my mother Miranda's brother." Mike nodded.
