Shaggy's Showdown

chapter 5

There was green fire everywhere and everyone was screaming, as someone was on the roof causing this.

"IT'S THE GHOST OF DAPPER JACK!" Cindy yelped as she jumped into Mike's arms.

Mike narrowed her eyes. "So I see..."

"Protect me, Honey Bunny." Lisa hugged Scott tight much to his dismay.

"Get off of me!" Scott complained.

Dapper Jack shoot his guns at Dave who backed away.

"No, not in the face, aaaugh!" Dave yelped as he jumped over the gate and ran away.

Dapper Jack laughed and keep shooting green fire from his guns.

"May I just go ahead and faint?" Cindy asked.

"Not yet, we got a job to do." Mike said.

"I was afraid she would say that..." Cindy groaned.

Lil went back into the house to change back to her normal clothes and came back. "Let's do this." she said as she tied her shoes.

"Aw, I liked the pajamas better." Mike pouted.

"Sorry, Mike, but I can't challenge anyone in my PJ's," Lil replied. "But you'll see me in them later."

Dapper Jack laughed as he shot green flames around everyone while invading.

"THE GHOST! IT'S REAL!" Longhorn panicked as he hid away with his fellow steers.

"The ghost is real!" Chicken cried out.

"Save yourselves!" Longhorn told the other steer before running for his life.

"I never thought I'd say this, but we need Super Cow." Chicken deadpanned.

"EVERY MAN, WOMAN, AND LIGHTNING FOR THEMSELVES!" Lightning cried out before he jumped into Ellody's arms.

"You can't chase me, I'm a relative!" Shaggy called out as he ran with Scooby.

Jess soon overheard some things going on and looked out the window, he then rushed inside his own house and took out a rope as he then rode on a horse go towards the chaos.

"I'm not ready to die yet." Cindy said as she hugged Brianna.

"Aw, man," Fred groaned as he got trapped in a net. "I should've gone with The Amazing Net."

There were horse gallops heard.

"What's that?" Lil wondered.

Mike looked ahead and gasped. "Uncle Jess!"

"Uncle who?" Scott, Chicken, and Lightning asked.

Jess twirled his lasso and threw it out to capture the ghost of Dapper Jack. Dapper Jack then growled and shot a green flame out from his gun.

Jess hopped up to avoid the flame and grabbed the ghost in his lasso. "Got ya, ya varmint!"

"Uncle Jess!" Mike beamed.

"Howdy there, Michelene, oh, sorry, Mike..." Jess smiled and tipped his hat to his niece.

"It's okay." Mike laughed as she was so happy to see her uncle.

"Is it safe to come out?" Cindy asked as she was hiding in the bushes.

"Yeah, come on out, Cindy." Mike told her.

Cindy came out. "Man, I almost ruined my good pajamas..." she then muttered to herself until she looked up and gasped. "Mike's Uncle Jess!" she then took out a paper bag and hyperventilated into it before her eyes lolled in her head and she fell in the middle of the ground.

"Is she okay?" Jess asked.

"She'll be fine," Mike said. "Great to see ya, Uncle Jess."

"Great to see you too, ah, when you smile, you look just like your mama." Jess smiled.

"Um, guys, I hate to ruin this family reunion, but the ghost is gone." Scott said after he noticed that the ghost was gone.

"What?!" Jess yelped. "That's impossible!"

"He must've evaporated." Lil guessed.

"Dangum it!" Jess pouted.

"He's a ghost!" Lightning told the others. "I'm tellin' ya he's a ghost!"

"Now, before you all get up in arms... Lightning might be right... I mean, we've faced crazy stuff like this before." Ellody said to the others.

"I agree with her, I should know..." Jess agreed with the genius girl.

"But what can we do?" Lil asked. "I mean, none of us are Danny Phantom and don't have a thermos to get rid of him."

"Maybe he isn't a ghost?" Katrina suggested.

"Cindy, did you bring your laptop?" Mike asked.

"Never leave home without it." Cindy slowly woke up.

"Great..." Mike came up to her face. "You got some homework to do."

"Yes, sir, I mean ma'am." Cindy replied.

"Has anyone seen Fred?" Brianna asked.

"Yer friend's over there." Millie pointed to Fred as he was trapped in a net.

"I'm disappointed in you, Net Master 3000." Fred angrily pouted.

"Wait a minute," Millie came up to the black-haired man with a gasp. "You're Jess Harper from Laramie, what are you doing here?"

"I heard my niece and her friends were in trouble." Jess said, putting his arm around Mike.

"Wait... Yer a girl?" Millie asked the tomboy.

"Yes, that's a long story, but this is my Uncle Jess." Mike smiled up to Jess.

"Mike's a girl?" Lightning asked out of shock.

Everyone else soon groaned and face-palmed.

"Oh, Scotty Poo, you're okay!" Lisa cooed as she hugged the former devious teen.

Scott groaned to her.

"Oh, Lisa, I'm so glad yer safe..." Jade smiled to her best friend. "Aw, Lisa's hugging you... That's adorable."

"No, it isn't!" Scott told his girlfriend. "She's obsessed with me!"

"I was worried about you, Honey Bunny~" Lisa cooed.

"Oh, Lisa's just being nice..." Jade soothed.

"Um, Jade?" Cindy tugged on the girl's nightgown. "I'm sorry to tell you this, but your best friend is clearly stalking your boyfriend."

"Y'all must got some pheromones in ya, cous." Millie smirked teasingly to Scott.

"First Sugar, now Lisa, what's next, that Kimberly girl?!" Scott groaned.

Millie couldn't help but giggle to Scott's overreaction.

Jade looked from Cindy to Scott and Lisa and felt suspicious of her best friend now. "I think we should share a room together, Lees." she told her best friend.

"Can Scotty come with us?" Lisa asked hopefully.

"No." Jade declined.

"Aw, okay." Lisa replied.

Everyone then put their pajamas back on and went off to bed.

"Good night." Fred said.

"Night." Daphne and Velma replied.

"Shaggy, Scooby, are you guys going to bed?" Brianna asked as she was going to share a room with Cindy.

"Like, we'll take the first watch." Shaggy said as he hid with Scooby while holding a plunger for protection.

"Suit yourselves..." Brianna shrugged before going into the room and shutting the door behind her.

Shaggy and Scooby looked at each other nervously as they heard howling.
