[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
It's been a few years since Mystery Inc. got back together and things had been a whole lot better. The gang is solving mysteries again and Ben, Gwen, and Kevin had helped a lot. Although they did have to leave to do some Plumber work and school, recently though Ben and Gwen graduated early at 17 and Kevin quit his job at the auto shop.
Ben had gained a new Omnitrix after he destroyed his old one to prevent Vilgax from using it and had obtained the Ultimatrix, a knock-off created by Albedo who was a student of Azmuth, the creater of the Omnitrix. Gwen had achieved her Anodyte form and Kevin has strengthened his power as well. But they weren't looking for a fight, nope.
They along with the Scooby gang were heading to Coolsville's Coolsonian Criminology Museum to celebrate its grand opening of its newest exhibit of costumes for which Mystery Incorporated donated. They were riding in a limo with the design of the Mystery Machine. A crowd of people is in front of the museum cheering for the arrival of the gang.
"Here we are, folks, on the red carpet at the grand opening of the Coolsonian Criminology Museum." A male, grey-haired news reporter says. "Tonight's premiere exhibit is a rousing look back at the exploits of Mystery Incorporated." The limo pulls up in front of the museum. "And here they are!"
Fred exits the limo first, wearing a blue tuxedo, and smiles to the crowd. He turns and helps Daphne out who also smiles at the crowd, wearing a purple dress with a fluffy coat over it. Next was Ben wearing a dark green tuxedo. He helps Velma out as she wears an orange dress with long sleeves. Kevin exits out with a black vest-tux, but it is actually a regular tux with the sleeves ripped off with a white dress shirt underneath. Gwen follows after with a dark-pink dress that has a slit on her right side, starts from her thigh and down to the bottom of the dress. And finally Shaggy exits wearing a brown tuxedo with Scooby wearing a light blue bow tie in place of his collar.
"Folks, this crowd is going crazy over Mystery Inc.." The reporter says. And to prove his point, a group of fangirls rush to Fred and scream out his name. "Here you go, girls. I got an ascot for each of you." Fred says, handing out ascots to the fans. Ben too gets swarms with fans and he signs autographs for them. "Can you turn into an alien?" One fan asks. "Sorry, but it's not time yet." He replies, smiling at them and walks off.
A lot of people chant Scooby's name, "Check it out! It's a Shag and Scoob quake, and the whole city's shaking!" Shaggy laughs. "Reah." Scooby agrees and then takes Shaggy's milkshake. "Come on, Scoob." Shaggy says, not noticing. But the cup got stuck and Scooby shakes his head to remove it but the cup and the rest of its contents ended up spilled on the limo driver. "Scooby!" Gwen scolds. "Roh, rorry." Scooby apologizes. "I consider it a privilege, sir." The limo driver says, taking out a napkin to wipe himself off with. "Just be a little more careful. Okay?" Gwen asks the Great Dane. "Rokay." Scooby agrees and walks towards the museum.
"Daphne!" Two girls dressed in purple walk up to Daphne with flowers in hand. "Don't you two look beautiful." The girls hand her the flowers. "Thank you." She thanks them, as she accepts the gifts. "Daphne! Daphne! Daphne!" Two men exclaim to get her attention. "Hi." She greets them. "Hi! We love you! We have your face tattooed on our chests! Look!" They reveal their chests to show her their tattoos. "That's very...sweet." Daphne says, trying to sound polite. "Way to not sound insulting." Kevin whispers to her. She elbows him in the ribs and he winces from the pain.
"Velma! Velma! Velma!" A group of girls chant and Velma notices them and shakes one of their hands. "Sign it, please." One requests, and Velma obliges and gives back the magazine. "We love you, Velma." One fan tells her. "Thanks." She says with a smile and leaves. "I love her so much." A fan says then starts crying.
"May I have a word with Coolsville's hottest detectives?" The female reporter asks, as she walks up to Fred microphone ready. "Absolutely." Fred answers. "Well, there you go. That's your word. Come on dear, we're late." Daphne intervenes. The woman wasn't satisfied and then stands next to Fred, pushing Daphne out of the way. "Heather Jasper-Howe at the grand opening of the Criminology Museum with our guests of honor, the master detectives of Mystery Incorporated." Heather Jasper-Howe reports talking to her cameraman.
Ben saw this and did not have a good feeling about that woman. He knew how reporters can twist the truth and try to bring people down because they think they know who people 'truly are.' He had that experience with a reporter 'who-will-not-be-named.' But then felt someone lightly punch his shoulder and looks back to find Kevin, "Dude, what's with the face? Come on. We've got an exhibit to see." He says and points his thumb to the museum.
Ben sighs then smiles and nods in agreement but before they could enter, "The people of Coolsville are the Best In The World!" Fred shouts out. The crowd goes wild and cheers louder. Ben smiles wider and looks to the crowd, but an elderly man isn't cheering and looks on with an unpleasant sneer. Ben's smile drops and before he could ponder any longer. "Let's go!" Kevin cheers and wraps an arm around Ben's shoulder as he leads them to them into the museum.
