“Put on the brakes, guys!” Fred yells to his friends.
“Like, we’re giving it all we’ve got!” Shaggy yells back as the rest of Mystery Inc. gets dragged along the ground.
The balloon pulls them through game tents and food stands. Even though Scooby never lets go of the mooring rope, he still manages to wrap his paws around heaps of hot dogs and cotton candy. Shaggy hangs onto the rope with his hands and opens his mouth like a bulldozer. SCAAAARF! He scoops up a mega-load of popcorn, pretzels, and pizza. Daphne comes out of the game tents covered in stuffed toys and bobble headbands.
“Hey, that’s quite the fashion statement, Daphne,” Shaggy chuckles.
SQUEEEEAK! Daphne crams a stuffed bear in his mouth.
“Guys! That didn’t slow us down!” Velma shouts from the balloon. “We’re still heading straight for the Ferris wheel!”
“Ruh-roh,” Scooby gulps.
“We’re going to hit!” Velma warns.
“Don’t worry, I have a plan!” Fred says.
“That’s what worries me!” Velma replies.
Fred hits the burner button. Flames shoot up into the balloon cavity. Super-hot air starts to lift the balloon higher in the air.
“Yes! We’re going to make it!” Velma cheers.
SPUT! SPUT! The burner goes out.
“Uh-oh… it’s out of fuel,” Fred says as he watches the balloon fall toward the Ferris wheel. “We’re doomed!”
“Let go of the rope! Save yourselves!” Velma shouts to the rest of the gang.
“No way! We’re going to save youuuuuu!” Shaggy says just as the balloon gets snagged in the carnival ride, pulling him along with it.
