Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-Doo Page #5

- Partially.

Marlon had several rigged

to appear in various places.

Even in the lake,

to make it look like she was chasing us.

She wasn't a puppet every time.

Yes, I realized that when we saw the device

in the tower.

It was really a projector Marlon uses

for his volumetric displays.

One of many.

Anyone entering the tower would

have set off an invisible electric eye...

...activating the ghost.

Marlon's technology was a lot more

sophisticated than he was letting on.

Marlon, why did you do this?

Because all my life I've been jealous,

jealous of you.

While I did all the work,

you got all the applause.

I finally decided

I wanted to create my own magic act.

With my puppets and projections,

I could become a magic sensation.

Why didn't you?

Because I needed money to start the act.

The only way I could get it

is if you agreed to sell the castle...

...which I knew you wouldn't do

unless you were forced to.

I didn't mean to hurt anyone, honest.

All I wanted to do

was scare people away.

I tried to make amends.

After the automated griffin wrecked

the bridge, I flew back in the blimp...

...to bring you down.

But these two fearless souls attacked me

before I could explain.

- Hey, how did the griffin crash anyway?

- Here's your answer.

The magic staff?

Like, I guess,

it really did control the monster after all.

Aw, I'm so ashamed.

[CRYING]

Who would have thought

that miserable Marlon would be behind this?

You would. You knew all along.

Of course, Amos was the only one

who was never afraid to be out at night.

He must have known the griffin

was a fake.

Amos probably followed Marlon

to the Griffin's Roost...

...while he was rebuilding it.

AMOS:
I saw him going in there, day and

night, with loads of strange-Iooking crates.

So I got nosy and peeked.

Yes, and my guess is he told you,

Mr. Curdles.

You weren't worried about the griffin.

You could even use it

to get a cheap price on the castle.

- Wow. These girlies are smart.

- Oh, shut up.

No need to deny it, Mr. Curdles.

Your story about turning the castle

into a restaurant...

...never made sense in the first place.

You were really buying it

for Miss Rumblebuns, weren't you?

Calvin, is this true?

Yes, Alma, it is.

I meant for it to be a surprise.

You see, years ago, I operated a struggling

ice-cream concession here...

...for the few tourists

who visited O' Flannery Castle.

It was here that I met the castle's dazzling

caretaker, Miss Alma Rumblebuns.

Ah. We were so much in love.

Fearing that a high-born creature

of Alma's caste...

...could never settle

for a mere sherbet jockey, I left.

Determined someday

to return a frozen-novelty mogul.

Alas, I became so swept up in

the intoxicating world of cream and cones...

...I never came back.

But I couldn't forget you, Alma.

I thought that if I bought you this castle

which you loved so much...

...you might love me again.

Oh, Calvin, I don't know what to say.

Well, just say you forgive me.

Ew.

Please, Whirlen, I will double the price.

Don't do it, Whirlen,

I couldn't take the money now.

Not when I've seen

what the school means to you.

I was wrong.

My place is here with you...

...passing on what we've discovered to kids

who truly wanna learn.

They're the ones I've really hurt.

I think there's time to make amends.

Starting with the education

of our new apprentice, Madelyn Dinkley.

Really? You mean it?

With your enthusiasm and our coaching,

you could be the next big thing in magic.

Congratulations, Madelyn. You deserve it.

I must admit, you handled yourself

pretty well on this adventure.

Thanks, I guess we Dinkley sisters

have something in common after all.

CURDLES:

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

The Cone Castle Creamery, makers

of those cones that make you moan...

...is proud to sponsor

the very first show...

...by the students of the Merlin Brothers'

Academy of Magic.

And now your hosts,

Marlon and Whirlen...

...the Brothers Merlin.

[AUDIENCE OOHING]

- Isn't she adorable?

- Yeah.

- Hey, shouldn't you be up there with her?

- I've been training an assistant.

[AUDIENCE CLAPPING]

[ROARS]

- How did you do that?

- That's my secret, scarf boy.

- Like, that was totally awesome, Mads.

- Thanks, Shaggy.

Hey, have you seen Scooby-Doo?

- Oh.

- Let's go, move, move, move.

[LION MEWS]

[AUDIENCE CHEERING AND CLAPPING]

Looks like your dog is braver

than you thought.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

And thank you.

Scooby-abracadabra-Doo!

MAN [ON GPS]:
You kids are still watching?

Well, the mystery's over.

Now move on with your lives.

I need oil.

I need oil.
