Family Camping (Part 6)

Fred Tries to Show Off

"Hmmm. Something missing from my Five Alarm Chili." said Shaggy after tasting the chili with a wooden spoon. Scoob noticed a pile of peppers next to him and took a green one before eating it. "Oh man, Scoob, like those are the hottest peppers on the planet!" laughed Shaggy stirring the chili. "YEOW!" yelled Catman diving to the ground as Scooby ran past him with smoke coming out of his mouth. "What happened to him!?" he asked looking at Scooby. "Would you believe it if I said Scooby ate the hottest pepper in the world?" asked Shaggy with a nervous smile. "Shaggy, give him some water or something, don't just stand there!" said Catman. "Right, got it!" said Shaggy reaching for the sink and spraying water into Scooby's mouth. "You alright, Scooby?" asked Catman handing Shaggy a towel because he was soaking wet. "DELICIOUS!" said Scooby licking his lips. "Good grief...." sighed Catman shaking his head. 

"Fred, WHAT are you doing?" asked Cleo walking over to her friend pinching the bridge of her nose. "I'm showing everyone how to make a campfire obviously!" said Fred gesturing to his small pile of twigs. "Fred, I do hate to be the one to tell you this but Demon already beat you to it." said Cleo pointing behind her to where the campers were surrounding Demon chatting away excitedly. "Aw....what does Demon got that I don't!?" asked Fred. "Fire breathing abilities?" offered Cleo raising a brow. "Show off!" grumbled Fred. "It it makes you fell any better, I HIGHLY doubt anyone would've gotten warm around THAT pathetic excuse for a fire." said Rath walking over carrying Draco. "THAT'S NOT REASSURANCE YOU MUMMIFIED BABOON!" yelled Cleo smacking the back of Rath's head. "Oh, so I'm a baboon now am I!?" questioned Rath putting Draco on the ground. "Ah....baby....just going bring an innocent baby over there!" said Fred picking up Draco and slowly backing away from the bickering siblings.

After Rath and Cleo stopped fighting, Fred decided to take everyone into the woods. "Yep, no doubt about it. These are definitely moose tracks." said Fred kneeling on the ground. "Aren't those a little small to be moose tracks, Fred?" asked Starchild leaning over to look at the tracks. "I'm a camp counselor, Starchild, of course I'm sure! These are moose tracks!" said Fred. "Right...it's just last I checked moose tracks didn't have claws." said Starchild. "Shhh! I think the moose is just on the other side of these bushes!" whispered Fred. "What?" asked Scooby who was carrying a bunch of fire wood. "Nice moose catch, Fred!" laughed Demon as all five babies joined in. "Behave!" warned Cleo smacking the back of Demon's head. "Alright, everyone, back to camp, it's arts and crafts time!" said Fred leading everyone away from Scooby. Cleo furrowed her brows when she thought she was something move out of the corner of her eye but shrugged it off and followed the others back to camp.   

"Raggy! Ratman!" yelled Scooby running back towards the kitchen and slamming the door behind him. "Now what happened!?" asked Catman looking over at the dog who boarded the door shut. "Aw, Scoob, when you said you were doing out for wood, I didn't know you'd bring it back on piece at a time!" said Shaggy noticing the stick wrapping in Scooby's tail. "Wood...man! Wood...man!" said Scooby closing the shade to the window. "Yeah, wood man! That's what we need! I guess Catman and I are going after it ourselves." said Shaggy heading for the door. "Woodsman!" yelled Scooby as Shaggy opened the door and a dark figure stood in the doorway. "I saw the smoke coming from the chimney. Figured you folks could use some more wood." said Burt coming inside with some firewood. "Like thanks, Burt. Dinner's almost ready." said Shaggy.            

"Like man I hope you're hungry! Cause I'm about to serve up Shaggy's famous Five Alarm in the bowl Chili!" said Shaggy carrying the pot of chili out of the kitchen towards everyone who were sitting around two picnic tables. "Demon, I suggest you turn the OTHER way when you eat!" said Cleo crossing her arms. "Why's that?" asked Demon as Fred took a bite and blew out fire. "Spicy!" he rasped. "THAT'S why!" said Cleo pointing to Fred as Lotus squealed happily. "Ah, Scoob, I think you're bowl's missing the bottom!" said Catman as Scooby held the bowl up to his face in confusion making everyone but Trudy and Ember laugh. 

"Good morning Camp Little Moose! This is your favorite Camp Counselor and mentor telling you to rise and shine!" "Ugh! Fred!" yelled Cleo covering her ears as Demon sat up blinking and looking around in confusion while Draco, Ranald, Lotus, Lapis, and Roxy all began screaming due to being woken up. "Is this guy for real?" asked Trudy leaning on the side of her cabin with a still half asleep Velma and annoyed looking Ember were standing. "I'm afraid so." said Velma. "By Osiris does he ever stop talking!?" questioned Rath walking past the three girls with his hands over his ears. 

"Hey, campers! Whose ready to have fun!?" asked Fred once everyone gathered on the dock. "Like an extra hour of sleep sound fun to us!" said Shaggy raising a finger. "You can say that again!" yawned Demon as the babies were all drooling and nodding off in the stroller. Even Cleo was struggling to keep her eyes open. "OK, gang, here's the plan! An hour of canoeing, two hours of fishing, followed by a half hour of swimming!" said Fred. "You joking yes?" asked Rath looking at the murky and DISGUSTING looking water. "I am in agreeance with my son. There could be crocodiles in there for all we know." said Cleopatra. "CROCODILES!?" cried Shaggy as he and Scooby leapt into Catman's arms now fully awake. "Mother, MUST you rile those two up before Ra has fully risen?" asked Cleo rubbing her temples. "Hey, why don't we go up to Big Moose Lake? The Lake is SWEET!" said Luke. "Oh no, not Big Moose Lake. We can't go up there!" said Fred. "Why?" asked Ember glaring at Fred. "Because Big Moose Lake is haunted." said Fred. "Haunted? Really Fred? You're just making that up because you don't like the other camp!" said Demon rolling his eyes. "Demon's got a point. How can a lake be haunted?" asked Velma. "Many years ago, there was a camper named Neil Fisher. The other kids picked on him all the time. So he spent most of his days swimming in Big Moose Lake. In fact, he spent so much time in the water, he grew gills and fins! He became the Fishman! And he haunts Big Moose Lake to this day!" said Fred. "Yeah...nice try, Fred, but we're going to Camp Big Moose!" said Spaceman throwing Fred's clipboard into the water and storming off. "Like man, what's with HIM!?" asked Shaggy. "Well, Fred DID wake us all up at the crack of dawn. Therefore I'd have to say sleep deprived." said Cleo pushing the stroller as everyone walked off the dock.       

Hey guys, hope you liked this chapter! Just a reminder about Cleo and Demon's kids, I've decided to write separate stories for each of them and write about their adventures in five different books. So if you have any suggestions you'd like to see them in old cartoons (between the 90's and early 2000's), comment down below! Thanks again for reading and I'll see you next time!
