The robot clown zooms straight toward the whirling carnival ride. It doesn’t even try to stop.
Shaggy bangs his fists on the mechanical menace’s head. CLAAANG! CLAAAANG! All he gets is sore fists.
At the last second, the robot swerves away from the spinning ride. Unfortunately, Scooby doesn’t go the same direction. His forward motion sends him flying straight ahead.
Shaggy watches his pal sail through the air toward the whirling ride. Then he realizes that Scooby is still chomping down on the tent fabric.
“Let go, Scoob!” Shaggy yells.
“Ruh-uh,” Scooby shakes his head and clenches his jaws even tighter.
SNAAAAAG! The tent fabric gets caught on one of the seats — and so does Scooby!
“Yaaaa!” Scooby shouts as the Tilt-A-Whirl spins him around and around.
“Yaaa!” Shaggy shouts as he and the robot are dragged after Scooby.
The tent gets wrapped around the trio like a cocoon. They look like a three-headed mummy.
Suddenly the canvas tears loose from the ride, and they soar through the air! THUMP! They land on top of a large tent. BOUNCE! The tent acts like a trampoline, and they spring toward another tent. BOUNCE! BOUNCE! BOUNCE! They rebound from tent to tent to tent.
“Like, I feel like I’m in a kangaroo’s pouch,” Shaggy moans.
“Rop this ride, I want to ret off,” Scooby whimpers.
“Blerrrrt! Braaap!” the robot seems to agree.
The trapped trio finally loses speed and slides down the side of a tent. They hit the ground and unravel. Shaggy and Scooby sprawl out on the grass. The robot sparks and goes limp.
“Shaggy! Scooby! Are you okay?” Gaggy says as he and the others arrive on the scene.
“Wow! You two have some serious acrobatic skills,” Astra observes. “You should join the circus!”
“Thanks, but I think Scooby and I will stick to safer things like unmasking monsters,” Shaggy replies.
“This is all my fault,” Gaggy moans as he helps his nephew to stand up. “This was supposed to be a harmless prank.”
“Huh?” Shaggy says.
“I was controlling the robot clown,” Gaggy confesses. He holds out a remote control. “All I wanted was to have a fun adventure with my mystery-solving nephew.”
“Well, we sure did have an adventure,” Shaggy admits. “But part of the puzzle is still missing.”
“What part?” Gaggy asks.
“Like, what happened to the Scooby Snacks?” Shaggy says. “Come on, Uncle Gaggy, there’s another mystery to solve!”
“Scooby-Dooby Doooo!” Scooby declares.
THE END
