*3rd POV*

A family drove into a town called 'Gatorsburg'. The town looked so worn down. "Are you sure this is New York City?" A woman asked her husband as she looked around Gatorsburg. "Yeah, absolutely, now, if I'm not mistaken this here is, uh, Broadway." The man replied to his wife.

The daughter looked at her father like he was stupid.

"What's that street sign say?" The husband asked. "Gator Avenue." The wife replied.

"Hm. I wonder how far Gator Avenue is from Broadway." The husband said. "According to this map, 2,000 miles." The daughter butted in. "Well, in that case, we're going to need to fill up the tank, ha ha." The father replied.

He pulled their car into a gas station and parked the car by a gas pump. The husband got out of the car. "Hello? Hello, anybody there? Hello?" The husband asked, walking away, leaving the door open.

The family dog jumped out of the open car door. The daughter tried to grab him. "Puddles!" She said as she tried to grab him.

The dog ran off to the bush.

"Come back!" The daughter said as she chased after the dog.

She was close enough to him, but then she stopped as the dog ran into the bushes. She bent down trying to look into the bush.

The father looked at the gas pump to see if he can insert his card to purchase some gas.

"Puddles?" The daughter asked as she looked into the bush.

She reached in, feeling something. Hoping it was Puddles.

But turns out, it wasn't and something opened it's eyes and they were red. It jumped and tried to bite her.

The daughter got up and screamed, alarming her parents. "Gator man!" She shouted as she ran towards the car.

"Oh, sweetie, there's no such thing as--" The husband was cut off by a Gator man jumping out of the bushes.

He landed on the ground growling and crawling towards the man a little.

"Gator Man!" The husband shouted as he ran towards door scared, and as soon as he closed it the hand of the Gator man was on the window.

A gator that was female showed in the front of the van and the family all screamed.

The father pressed hard on the gas, which caused the car to speed away and all their luggage to drop to the ground.

The car stopped as the dog ran towards it.

"Puddles!" The girl shouted as she reached out the back of the car and caught the dog.

After she caught him, the husband sped away in the car with his family.

The gator went into the bush and disappeared.

| ONE AWESOME THEME SONG LATER |

*My POV*

Me and the gang were all sitting at mine and Fred's house, bored out of our minds.

I had my head on Sebastian's shoulder as he had his arm around my shoulders as we were sitting on the floor.

"Oh, I am so bored. We haven't had a good mystery in I don't know when!" Velma said as she was sitting on the chair.

Shaggy was trying not to fall asleep, while Scooby's head was in his lap.

Fred was building a trap, right by the front door.

"Fred, I think I've read every magazine in your house." Daphne said as she sighs. Then she noticed the magazine that was in between the couch.

"Huh, what's that?" Daphne asked reaching for it.

Fred looked up from what he was doing. "No, don't!" Fred said as he went to stop her, but she grabbed it after he jumped over the couch.

"Traps Illustrated? Freddie!" Daphne scolded. "I, uh, I read it for the articles. In fact, it's where I got the idea for this little beauty." Fred said gesturing to his trap. We all looked towards it, and saw it was at the front door.

"Who do you expect to trap outside your front door?" Velma asked Fred. Suddenly we heard the doorbell followed by groaning and a yell. "Let's find out!" Fred said excitedly. We all went towards the door.

Fred opened the door, only to see the delivery man. "I got packages for us, Fred and Isabella Jones." The delivery man said. "Hey, that's us." Fred said as he took the packages from the delivery man and handed me my package.

Fred walked towards the lever and let it go, we heard the delivery man scream as he hit the ground with a thud.

Fred sat in the chair and put the box on the table. I sat on the couch with Sebastian and put my box on the table as well. "Like, um I think it's two boxes." Shaggy said and Fred, Daphne, Sebastian and I turned and glared at him.

Fred opened his box and saw a note. Velma picked it up. "It's from Mr. E!" Velma said as she showed the print of a red E on the note. Velma opened it. "Saved this for a rainy day. Enjoy." Velma read.

"Humph. Mr. E gives me the creeps." Daphne said as Fred reached to pick up whatever was in the box. "Fred, careful. That could be a bomb." Daphne said, then Fred pulled out a gator looking purse.

"Ooh, strike that. Cute purse." Daphne said as she reached for it, but Fred held it away from her. Velma began holding the purse when Fred and I saw where it was from. "Check it out! 100% pure gator made in Gatorsburg." Fred said.

"Gatorsburg?" Scooby asked confused. "But that's impossible. Gatorsburg hasn't manufactured gator products in decades." Daphne said. "Not since the gator mines dried up." Velma, Sebastian and I said.

"Gator mines?" Scooby asked. "Gatorsburg was founded back in the 1800s when a group of prospectors searching for gold, struck something much more valuable. Alligator. Gatorsburg had more alligators than anywhere in the world. Overnight, Gatorsburg became a boomtown. The town became famous for its gator skin products. Then the gator wells ran dry. Gatorsburg became a ghost town." I explained the history. "But, like Fred, it says it was made in Gatorsburg." Shaggy said. "Before we do anything, Izz what's in your package?" Daphne asked.

I shrugged and opened the package and saw a note. "It's also from Mr. E." I said as I picked up the note. "Saved these for your birthday, enjoy." I read the note and I put the note on the table before pulling out car keys and a necklace.

(The neckless)

"Car keys? And a necklace?" I asked confused. Sebastian took the necklace from me and put it around my neck and clipped it together so I'm wearing it. I smiled softly.

Scooby sniffed the purse. "Ooh, smells new." Scooby said. We all began to smile wide. "Gang, we have a mystery on our hands." Fred said. "Oh, sweet Christmas, finally!" Velma said as we all rushed outside. Sebastian and I dodged the trap, the others, not so much.

Sebastian and I got them out of the trap, before I spotted car in the driveway.

(The car)

"A 1967 Chevy Impala?!" I asked happily as the car keys unlocked the car and I got inside and looked around. Sebastian climbed in and we drove off after the Mystery Machine.

| Time Skip |

I was driving behind the Mystery Machine as we kept driving to Gatorsburg. We soon made it to Gatorsburg and I parked my car next to the Mystery Machine. We all got out of the Mystery Machine and my car.

"This is what happens when a civilization is founded on an entirely gator-based economy." Velma said. "Alright Gang, let's split up and look for clues." Fred said as we all split up.

*3rd POV*

"What do you say, Shaggy? Wanna go clue hunting with me?" Velma asked Shaggy. "Velma! Huh! Come on, not in front of Scoob!" Shaggy said as they looked at what Scooby was doing.

Scooby was sniffing the statue when the gator's mouth slammed shut. "Huh? I didn't touch it!" Scooby shouted. "Like, dude, how about we check out Gator Burger?" Shaggy asked him as he pointed to it.

Scooby slurped. "Sounds delicious!" Scooby said. They both went towards it.

| Inside |

A gator like creature saw the reflection of Shaggy and Scooby and quickly hid.

Shaggy opened the door and they both looked around till they saw the pile of burgers.

Shaggy gasped happily. "Like, jackpot, Scooby-Doo, huhu!" Shaggy said as him and Scooby rushed to the burgers and when Shaggy opened it, they saw a dead gator in between the buns.

They looked at each other than shrugged as they began eating the burgers.

Velma came in and tapped Shaggy on the shoulder. Shaggy looked at her. "We need to talk." Velma said seriously. "Velma, like, I would love to but, like, I can't hear anything over the sound of my own stomach. It's going, 'Like, maybe give me a triple cheese and chill and, like, a pickle.'." Shaggy said to Velma.

"You know what? Forget it." Velma said as she walked away fed up with all of this. Shaggy felt guilty and looked away softly. "Velma, wait up!" Shaggy called out to Velma, and chased after her.

"Like, Velma, what did I do?" Shaggy asked confused. "Nothing! You didn't do anything!" Velma said to Shaggy and stormed off to the Myster Machine.

"So me not doing anything is the thing that you're mad about?" Shaggy asked really confused. "Like, why do girls have to be so confusing?" Shaggy asked no one.

*My POV*

"Let's go, Gang, there's nothing to trap here." Fred called out, which caused me and Sebastian to walk back towards my car.

The others got in the Mystery Machine. "Looks like Mr. E sent us on a wild goose chase." Fred said. "Ah, yeah, more like a wild gator chase!" Shaggy said.

I turned on my car and I pulled up next to the Mystery Machine ready to go. Fred tried to start the Mystery Machine, but it didn't start, not even the sound of the engine starting was heard. "Hmm. that's weird." Fred said.

I opened the hood of the Mystery Machine and Fred pointed a flashlight into it. We both see the engine is missing. "Can you tell what the problem is, guys?" Daphne asked.

"You see that hole there? That should be an engine, Daph." I said, when suddenly, we heard an engine revving. Bright lights shined in our faces and we all covered our eyes. When the lights shut off, thunder rumbled. A man stepped out of the car.

He began walking towards us. "You kids are in some serious trouble!" He said as he looked at all of us. "Hoo, gulp." Shaggy said. The man looked at us with a glare, till he started walking towards Fred.

Fred stuck his hand out for him to shake, but the man grabbed Fred by the collar of the shirt. "Care to tell me what you're doing in Gatorsburg?" He asked Fred. "Our van broke down." Daphne said appearing next to them.

"Maybe you could take a look at it. You look like you've got the hands for the job. Hey, what size is your ring finger?" Fred asked the man. "Why the heck should I help you?" He asked us. "Because you're....a mechanic?" I said/guessed from behind them with Sebastian at my side.

The man sighed. "Touche." He said and took a look at what was wrong. He shut the hood of the Mystery Machine as my car was parked beside it. "Here's your problem. engine's missin'. Uh, I'm gonna have to order a new one from Crystal Cove. Seeing as that's over three miles away it won't arrive until morning." The man said as he looked at us and we all gasped.

"So, like, you're saying we're stuck in this super creepy gator town all night long?" Shaggy asked, worried. Velma called her Mom, Fred called Dad, and Daphne called her Mom. "Hey, Mom, we're stuck in Gatorsburg." Velma said to her Mom. "The van broke down." Fred said to Dad. "Think you can come and get us?" Daphne asked her Mom.

*3rd POV*

| With Velma's Mom |

"Oh, I wish I could but tonight's race night. You know me and horses. Venus is in its third retrograde which means I'm betting on Sick Little Monkey to show." Velma's Mom said to her over the phone.

| With Mayor Jones |

"Well, lentil and mushroom caps, Fred! I've already got the recliner, in the reclined position. There's no going back from that. And take care of your sister!" Mayor Jones said as he held a drink in his hand, before taking a drink of it.

| With Daphne's Mom |

She looked outside the window. "Oh, sweetie, it's dark out. I can't go out in the dark!" Daphne's Mom said to her through the phone.

*My POV*

The three of them hung up, and I sighed as Sebastian put his arm around my shoulders. Shaggy dialed the house phone at his house. We all looked at him hopeful.

*3rd POV*

"You've reached the Rogers' residence. We're busy right now. Please call back." The phone machine at Shaggy's house said as his parents looked at it, before going back to doing what they were doing...which was a very weird thing.

*My POV*

"Oh, wait. Duh. It's still life night." Shaggy said, knowing what his parents are doing. "Guess we're here for the whole night." Velma said, grabbing onto Shaggy's arm, lovingly. Scooby came up between them.

"And Scooby-Dooby too." Scooby said and we smiled. The man put the Mystery Machine on his hook. "Don't you suppose you could recommend a hotel?" Sebastain asked the man. "My sister Greta runs the best in town." The man said before pointing to a hotel, and we looked to see.

"The Drowsy Gator." The man said, and thunder rumbled. He towed the Mystery Machine outside of the hotel, while I parked my car beside the Mystery Machine. "Oh, and a word of advice. Don't leave your rooms." The man said as he drove away from us.

We all looked at the hotel, before making our way towards it. While we were walking towards it, I felt uneasy. When suddenly we all hear Scooby screaming for Shaggy. "Raggy! Raggy!" He shouted as we all turned to him and ran towards him. He pointed to the sign but the sign was normal. "Huh?" Scooby said as we all walked inside.

Everything on the inside was covered in gator skin. "I get this place is called Gatorsburg, but this is just wrong..." I whispered to Sebastian who nodded. We all looked around a little uneasy. We made it the front desk.

Fred rung the bell, when nobody came the first time, he rung it again. "We ain't got no rooms." A female voice said as we turned to see a woman. "But your sign in the window says, 'Vacancy.'." Fred said gesturing to the sign.

"Huh, well, that sign's broken." She said as she fixed her hair. "But it's a painted sign." Velma, Sebastian and I said a little annoyed. The woman sighed and she turned towards us. We see that her eyes are crossed. We all blinked.

She turned back into the room. "Gunther, we got guests!" She yelled at a young boy that I guess was her son. "Well! Hello!" He said as he looked at us. I didn't like the look he was giving us and held onto Sebastian's arm.

"This is my son, Gunther Gator. I'm Greta Gator." Greta introduced her and her son. "Your last names are Gator and you live in Gatorsburg?" Shaggy asked. "What a coincidence!" Scooby said. "Yeah, coincidence." Greta said as her and Gunther began chuckling.

Greta began leading us upstairs. "Uh, we don't get many guests here at The Drowsy Gator." Greta explained. "Shocker!" I said as we all looked around as we walked. We walked up the stairs to the rooms Greta was guiding us too.

There were pictures of gators on the wall and I still felt very uneasy. One picture had a claw mark through it. Sebastian and I backed away from it. "Like, are those claw marks?" Shaggy asked Greta. "I don't see any marks." Greta said walking away from them. Shaggy pulled a claw from the mark we saw on the wall.

Greta opened a door to a room. "I got a few hotel rules." Greta said. Fred walked into the room with Sebastian following him. Daphne and I tried to walk in, but Greta put her arm in front of us. "Rule Number One: Boys and Girls in separate rooms. No exceptions!" Greta said waving her finger in front of us.

"Then I guess I'm with you, Daphne, Izzy." Velma said. "I said, no exceptions!" Greta yelled. "But, I'm a girl." Velma said confused. "Oh, right. Rule Number Two: Stay in your rooms, no matter what you hear. That includes screams, moans, wails, pounding, clawing, scratching, and anything that sounds like a body being dragged across a hardwood floor." Greta said getting in all our faces. Scooby was on the ground, whimpering while covering his eyes.

"Okay. Well, Shag, looks like you me, Scoob and Sebastain are in this room." Fred said as Shaggy walked in, Scooby was about to walk in after him, but Greta stopped him. "I almost forgot! Rule Number Three: No pets in the hotel!" Greta yelled and my eyes widen. "What?" Scooby asked confused and scared.

Daphne, Velma and I looked up hearing Gunther chuckling behind us. "Hmm, hmm, hmm." Gunther said as he looked between the three of us. "It's okay, Scoob. You can sleep in the Mystery Machine." Fred said. "Or my car, Scoob." I said. "It's just one night, Scooby-Doo. I'll see you in the morning, buddy." Shaggy said to him. "I hope so!" Scooby said.

Shaggy and Scooby cried as they hugged. I saw Velma roll her eyes. We all watched as Scooby stopped walking and looked at all of us. "I'm not a pet." I heard Scooby say as he walked down the stairs.

| Later on |

Daphne and I watched Velma putting on makeup and we were leaning against the bathroom doorframe. "Is there something different about your bangs?" Daphne asked. "I raised them a half centimeter to bring out my forehead. Toodles." Velma said, leaving to most likely try and see Shaggy.

She opened the door. "Where are you going?" Daphne asked. "I, uh, forgot something." Velma said trying to play it off. "What?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. "I forgot." Velma said, then she walked out the door, closing it behind her. Daphne and I looked at each other and got an idea.

*3rd POV*

"You know, Shag, when we all graduate from High School and move in together we can geta room just like this. You like bunk beds?" Fred asked a pacing Shaggy as Sebastian was reading a book to keep him from running out of the room to find Izzy. He was very uneasy at the moment.

"I can't think about that right now, Fred! Like, I'm really worried about Scoob!" Shaggy said, gesturing to the door. "Well, I'd say check on him if it weren't for the fact that we were warned to stay in our rooms. Hey, do you prefer flannel or cotton sheets?" Fred asked, looking over at Shaggy, only to see him gone. Sebastian raised an eyebrow. "Shaggy?" Fred asked, sitting up from the bed.

| Outside the room |

Shaggy and Velma bumped into each other. "Oh!" Velma said. "Tha...!" Shaggy said as they looked at each other. "Oh, he-he, Velma." Shaggy said. "Were you sneaking over to see me?" Velma asked, thinking Shaggy was sneaking over to see her even though they were told to stay in their rooms.

"Um, yeah. Like, I wanted to see you. But Freddy and Sebastian told me I had to go check on Scooby-Doo so I'm doing that." Shaggy said, trying to get away to check on Scooby. Velma grabbed Shaggy by his shirt. "Trust me, Scoob is just fine." Velma said.

| Outside the Hotel |

Scooby was laying in the Mystery Machine with a blanket he got from Izzy's car over him. He was shaking scared. He was also whimpering. "Raggy?" Scooby asked thinking he heard Shaggy, but he didn't see anything. A gator like creature walked in his sight. Scooby covered his face with the blanket whimpering.

| Inside with Fred and Sebastian |

Fred was laying on the bed, while Sebastian was reading in the chair. The door opened. "Huh? Daphne? Izzy?" Fred asked as both girls walked in.

*My POV*

Daphne and I shut the door behind us. "We're looking for Velma. Have you seen her?" Daphne asked as I went over to Sebastian, who stood up really fast and hugged me, causing me to hug him back. "No, but I'm glad you're here. I have something for you." Fred said as he turned to the side table by him and opened the draw and pulled something out. "You do?" Daphne asked and went to sit by Fred as Sebastian, and I just kept standing.

"It's just a little memento of our time together." Fred said. "Oh, Freddy! A scrapbook! I bet it's filled with wonderful pictures of...traps?!" Daphne asked shocked, thinking the pictures were different. I hid my face in Sebastian's shoulder trying not to laugh as he chuckled.

"We used this one to catch the Phantom of Vasquez Castle." Fred said pointing to a trap. "Yeah, I remember." Daphne said bored. "And this baby helped us nab Carlotta, the gypsy." Fred said pointing to another trap. "Mm-hmm. I was there." Daphne said bored again. Fred took the book out of her lap, causing Daphne to put her hands on her hips. "And this one..." Fred said.

*3rd POV*

| Outside with Scooby |

He was whimpering as he was in the Mystery Machine. Scooby peaked out from under the blanket he was under. "No monsters, no monsters, no--" Scooby was cut off by thunder rumbling, then a gator creature appeared in front of the Mystery Machine. Scooby shot up with indistinct yelling.

He leaped out of the back doors of the Mystery Machine. But he had to stop himself since another gator like monster came towards him. He tried to bite Scooby, but he pulled his head back. Scooby whimpered. He ran back to the Mystery Machine, and climbed on top of the Mystery Machine to escape it, only to see the other gator monster on the side growling at him.

He had to stay on the middle of the roof to not be attacked. "Raggy! Raggy! Help!" Scooby shouted, calling for Shaggy to save him. Scooby was whimpering, scared. One of them tried to grab his paw, but he lifted it up real fast whimpering. Another one went to get him but he ran towards the front of the Mystery Machine.

But as he came to the front of it, the other gator monster tried to grab him, but he stopped really fast. The three gator monsters all piled on the roof of the Mystery Machine, and Scooby jumped in the air screaming. The three tried to grabbed him, but he landed on the front of the Mystery Machine.

He sent them flying and sent himself flying as well. Scooby landed on the steps to the entrance of the hotel with a grunt. He was upside down, but he saw the gator monsters running towards him, and one was about to bite his face. "Oh!" Scooby said getting up fast as it tried to bite him again.

He ran inside the hotel whimpering. He ran towards the front desk and began ringing the bell rapidly. "Uh! Come on, come on, come on." Scooby said, but the gator like creatures burst through the door. They chased after Scooby as he ran up the stairs.

*My POV*

"And I left a few pages blank. You know, for future traps." Fred said as he finished listing all the traps off that we've used. Sebastian and I were reading a book. Daphne had a bored look. "Good thinking." Daphne said in a bored tone, not that Fred noticed. Suddenly, Scooby burst into the room gasping. We all looked at him surprised.

"Scoob! What's the matter?" Fred asked confused. "He's trying to tell us something." Daphne and I said. "It was a arr." Scooby said as he made a mouth shutting gesture. "Tator people." Fred guessed as Scooby kept describing what he saw. "Uh, crater steeple?" Fred guessed again confused.

Sebastian, Daphne and I paid attention to what he was gesturing to. He kept mumbling, until he wheezes. "Skater Feeple!" Fred said. "Gator People!" Sebastian, Daphne and I said as the three of us stood up from our sitting positions. Scooby sighed with relief before nodding happily.

Suddenly we heard banging and growling at the door. Scooby whimpers and ran towards Fred and pounced him scared, causing them to fall into the lamp, breaking it. The light was flickering. Suddenly we heard the door bust down. We see gator like creatures appear in the doorway when the light flashed, but when it turned off and on again, they were gone again.

"Quick, on the bed!" Daphne and I said as Sebastian got on the bed, Fred followed him, holding Scooby in his arms. One of the gator creatures were shrieking and chasing after me and Daphne. "Oh, oh!" Daphne and I said as we ran towards the bed. "No!" Fred and Sebastian said. Fred dropped Scooby on the bed as Daphne and I kept running towards the bed.

The light flickered on and off again, and Daphne was in Fred's arms, while I was in Sebastain's. Sebastian held me away from the gator creature. "Oh, Fred!" Daphne said happily. Fred threw Daphne on the bed. "Aah!" Daphne said as she landed on the bed. "My scrapbook!" Fred said as he reached and grabbed the scrapbook only to see one of the gator creatures roaring at us. "Aah!" Fred said.

"Oh, Fred." Daphne said sadly. Sebastian placed me down. The gator creatures were shrieking at us. "This is it. There's no escape!" Daphne said holding onto Scooby, and they shut their eyes tightly. Scooby was whimpering.

Suddenly, Fred and I got an idea. "We've got an idea." Fred and I said. "Quick, guys, the comforter!" I said as we all grabbed the comforter and throwing it over the gator like creatures as we jumped over them. We all ran out of the room and ran off to find Velma and Shaggy.

*3rd POV*

Shaggy was backing away from Velma. "Wow, look at this. No Fred, no Daphne, no Sebastian, no Izzy, no Scooby. Just us." Velma said as she placed her hands on Shaggy's chest and puckered up her lips for Shaggy to kiss her. Shaggy gulped before doing the same, and as they almost kissed the others busted into the room.

*My POV*

We busted into a room, where Shaggy and Velma were panting. "Raggy!" Scooby said, tackling Shaggy and licking his face. "Scooby-Doo!" Shaggy said happily. "What's going on?" Velma asked us all annoyed. "Gator People!" Daphne and I shouted with fear. "Come again?" Velma asked.

"Shh." Fred and Sebastian said as they held the door shut and we all became quiet so we could listen. We were all still, the only sound was the fan squeaking. "Maybe their gone." Sebastian said, when suddenly the lights started flickering again. It was dark in the room. "Oh!" Shaggy said scared.

Suddenly, the window broke behind me and Daphne and we screamed as we were almost grabbed. We fell to the ground, crawling away. Fred and Sebastain became behind us and held us. The gator creature growled at us. Velma slammed the curtain rod on top of its head, causing it to be tangled in the curtains.

We all ran towards the bathroom. We opened the door, Fred, Daphne, Velma, Sebastain and I got into the bathroom just fine. Shaggy and Scooby, not so much. They tried to get into the bathroom at the same time, but got stuck in the door. They grunted. As they tried to get out, they saw something behind us.

They screamed as Scooby pointed and we turned around to see another gator creature. We all gasped. We ran out of the bathroom, with Sebastian slammed the door shut behind us. We all backed up towards the wall as two of the gator creatures were looking at us, shrieking. "Move towards the door, very slowly." Sebastian whispered to us, and we all began to do that.

Suddenly, the last gator creature shut up through the floor, grabbing onto me and Velma. We both screamed and we were pulled int the hole, before we stopped ourselves but trying to pull out of its hold. We struggled a lot. "Velma!" Shaggy shouted. "Izzy!" Sebastian shouted. Velma and I were pulled into the hole, but we were grabbed by Shaggy and Sebastian. "Shaggy!" Velma shouted. "Sebastian!" I shouted.

We were pulled out of the creatures hold. Velma landed on Shaggy, and I landed on Sebastian. "Oh!" Shaggy said. "Oh! You saved me!" Velma said happily to Shaggy. I was trembling in Sebastian's arms and he held me close. "I did? Oh! Like, I did." Shaggy said smiling.

Shaggy suddenly looked towards my ankle along with Velma. "Zoinks!" Shaggy said. I looked towards my ankle and screamed. I stood up, only to see the creatures arm attached to my leg. "That's disgusting." Scooby said as I kept screaming. "Oh!" I said as I kicked it off towards one of the gator creatures, hitting it in the face.

"Wait! That isn't real. It looks like part of a costume." Fred said, when the gator creature had the arm in its mouth and ripped it to shreds snarling. The gator creatures made their way towards us, and Shaggy opened the door. We all ran out.

We ran outside the hotel screaming. The gator creatures chased after us snarling. I quickly got into my car and looked around. "My car won't fit all of us!" I shouted worried. Fred got an idea. "Scooby, get behind the wheel." Fred said. "Huh?" Scooby asked confused. "But the Mystery Machine is broken!" Daphne and Sebastian said.

"Which is why we're gonna push it!" Fred said, but the gators shrieking sounds caught our attention again. Fred, Shaggy, Sebastain, Daphne and Velma were pushing the Mystery Machine grunting, as Scooby was behind the wheel. I was backing out of the hotel in my car. Once they got the Mystery Machine going, they chased after it.

Scooby drove after me. The others jumped onto the back of the Mystery Machine. Velma and Daphne climbing on top of it, while Fred, Shaggy and Sebastian held onto the back of the van tightly. The Mystery Machine soon stopped outside of town, and I quickly turned my car off and got out as I ran to the back of the Mystery Machine. Scooby got out of the front seat and came to stand with us.

Sebastian jumped down and held me close as I held onto him. "Look! They're stopping." Velma said, and we turned to see the three stopping. They were growling at us. They turned their backs on us snarling. "They weren't trying to eat us. They just want us out of town." Fred said. "Why?" I asked confused. "I don't know." Sebastian said just as confused. "But if we're going to solve this Mystery, we have to go back into Gatorsburg." Fred said. "Say what?" Scooby and Shaggy asked.

We snuck into Gatorsburg. We looked to see the three gators stocking something on a boat. "Like, it's them." Shaggy said as we peaked around a shed. We snuck closer to hide behind some crates. Velma grabbed a crowbar that was sitting on top of one of the boxes and opened it. We see Gatorsburg products.

Velma pulled one of the belts out. "Huh?" Scooby said confused. "One hundred percent pure gator. This belt is just like the purse Mr. E sent us." I pointed out. Scooby bit down on the packaging and ripped it open. "Let me see that." Daphne said. She rolled her sleeve up and slapping the belt around her arm.

She groans and yelps in pain, quickly throwing the belt down. "What happened?" Fred asked confused. "I'm allergic to imitation animal skin. Pleather, fake fur it all makes me break out." Daphne said as she shows us her arm which was breaking out since she wrapped the belt around her arm.

Velma and I figured it out. "That belt isn't 100 percent pure gator." Velma said. "It's a fake. They're all fakes." I said as I pointed at the three gator creatures. "So, like, those fake gator people are selling fake gator products? Dude! We are dealing with serious irony!" Shaggy said. "We have to stop them." Fred said as we all began setting up a trap.

*3rd POV*

The three gator creatures were placing crates of the fake gator products on a boat. Shaggy and Scooby appeared out of nowhere. "Like, dude, you gator freaks! You're, like, the ugliest crocodiles ever!" Shaggy shouted as Scooby made a face at them. "Who are you calling a crocodile?" One of them asked. "Get them!" The only female one shouted as the three began chasing after Shaggy and Scooby. Shaggy and Scooby yell out and began to run off.

*My POV*

Shaggy and Scooby ran past the trap we set up. And we all prepared to pull the gator ropes that we created. We heard the gators growling as they ran towards our trap. "Now!" Fred shouted as we all began to pull. We caught each of the gators were yanked into our trap. We heard the three gators shouting.

The three gators fell onto a trampoline and were sent back into the air. Velma had a lift place three chest on the ground and they opened. They each landed in the chest, closing them shut and the rope made out of gator belts wrapped around the chest. "Got 'em." Scooby said smiling. Sebastian and I were sitting on the chest he had his paw on.

Shaggy was sitting on the one next to us. Daphne and Fred were on the last one. "Old 45, gets 'em every time." Fred said showing us the picture of the trap. He looked into the scrapbook and Daphne sighs with annoyance.

We heard sirens wailing and the sheriff showed up. "Time to find out who these greedy gators really are." Fred and Sebastian said. We all stood together as Fred ripped off the first mask. "Grady Gator?" Daphne and Velma asked confused. "Greta Gator?" Shaggy and Scooby asked confused. "Gunther Gator?" Sebastian and I asked confused.

"But why?" Fred asked confused as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder. Being my brother. "After we ran out of gators everybody moved out of Gatorsburg. But not us." Grady said. "This here is our home." Greta said.

"So, with no alligators left you decided to make imitation gator products and pass them off as real." Daphne said. "But you couldn't have anyone snooping around Gatorsburg. So, you created the creeping creatures to scare people away." Velma said. "Then you could run your counterfeit gatoring without anyone knowing who you were or what you were up to." Fred, Sebastian and I said.

"Like, that is one ridiculous plan." Shaggy said. "And you know what? We would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling juveniles and your unauthorized investigation of our synthetic gator accessories." Gunther said. "You're tellin' me this gator stuff is fake? I paid a fortune for this tracksuit!" The sheriff said as we turned to see him in the suit.

"Sorry, sheriff." Sebastian and I said. "Man, I gotta get out of this suit. This fake gator doesn't breathe. I'm starting to smell a little...funky. Arrest them. Even though I have absolutely no jurisdiction here!" The sheriff said as he stormed off to his car.

Both police officers went towards Grady, Greta and Gunther and began getting them up. We began walking back towards the Mystery Machine and my car. The sheriff got in his car and began backing away from us. We ran towards his car. "Wait, sheriff, can you give us a ride? Izzy's car doesn't got enough room, and the Mystery Machine isn't--" Fred got cut off by the engine of the Mystery Machine starts up.

We all gasped and turned towards the Mystery Machine. "Like, there's no engine in the Mystery Machine! It's haunted!" Shaggy said. I opened the hood of the Mystery Machine. We looked to see the engine, and a note from Mr. E. "It's from Me. E." Velma said. I grabbed it as Fred held the hood open.

"Hope you had a good time in Gatorsburg, but be warned, there are more mysteries to come. This is only one piece of the puzzle." I read as I looked up at the others. "Puzzle? What's that supposed to mean?" Fred asked confused. "Like, I've got a bad feeling we're going to find out!" Shaggy said as he whimpers.

I looked at the note again, only to see a small note for me. 'Dearest Izzy, I'd check your car. :).' I was confused. I walked towards my car, only to see another note form Mr. E. "Guys, look at this!" I said as picked up the note. "Another note from him?" Sebastian asked confused. I opened it. "This is a little surprise, but I hope you like it." I read confused. I looked inside my car, only to see a card and a rose. I picked the rose up. "A rose?" Fred asked confused.

I shrugged. Scooby jumped into Shaggy's arms whimpering and scared. Shaggy held him, but also held Velma's hand. Velma smiled happily at him.
