Scooby-Doo! Adventures: The Mystery Map Page #2

ALL:
Huh?

- The parrot.

He went into that old abandoned creepy

scary run-down lighthouse. Come on.

- Like, hello?

- Hello?

Golly, looks like no one's been in here

for ages.

Or cleaned this place. What a dump.

Jinkies. Another clue.

This telescope is new.

Everything else here is old.

And these glasses are next to it.

- They're so small.

- And so out of style. Ew.

Hey, you kids. What are you doing here?

[STAMMERS]

Uh, nothing. I... That is, I...

- We, um...

- Allow me. Ahem.

Mr. Lighthouse-Man, of course there's

a perfectly reasonable explanation...

...for why we're here.

You see, a giant evil parrot...

...stole our treasure map, and so we

followed him into your lighthouse.

You're looking for the

giant evil parrot, huh?

Yes, ma'am. I mean, sir.

You are a sir. Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

- Have you seen him?

- Green feller?

- Eye patch? Hook wing?

ALL:
Yes.

Never seen him.

[ALL SIGH]

But I did hear a loud squawk

a little while ago...

...coming from the top of the lighthouse.

Top of the lighthouse? Gulp.

No one's been up there for years.

SHAGGY:
Double gulp.

VELMA:
Whoa.

Look how far up it goes.

SHAGGY:

Triple gulp!

DAPHNE:

Hey, where'd the lighthouse guy go?

He was here till we all looked up.

Hey, Mr. Lighthouse-Ma'am? I mean man.

Where are you, Mr. Lighthouse-Man?

[PARROT SQUAWKS & GANG GASPS]

It's the Phantom Parrot. He's up there.

Well, gang, it's been a blast.

- We gotta go, right, Scoob? Come on.

- Bye-bye.

No, no, no. You two aren't going anywhere.

- And besides, I believe I solved the mystery.

- Huh?

But first we have

to catch the Phantom Parrot.

Can't we just leave and go home?

Please? Pretty please?

Nope. We've got to catch ourselves a bird.

- I thought you'd say that.

- And I have a plan.

- Shaggy, you're a big part of this.

- And I thought you'd say that too.

Huddle.

Okay, what's the plan?

I've been a lot of things before,

but I've never been a giant cracker.

Parrots love crackers.

You ever heard of "Polly want a cracker"?

Polly want a cracker, yeah.

It's the only way to lure the parrot out.

Then it'll chase you.

And we'll catch it.

It all sounds so easy,

but it's my skinny neck on the line.

[WHIMPERING]

Here, parrot, parrot, parrot.

Here, parrot. Oh, Phantom Parrot!

Phantom Parrot want a cracker?

I'm not Shaggy. I'm a cracker.

A delicious salty, crispy cracker.

[SHAGGY WHIMPERS]

Here, Phantom Parrot.

[PARROT SQUAWKS & SHAGGY GASPS]

[WHIMPERING]

[PARROT SQUAWKS]

I'm a cracker, Mr. Parrot. I'm not Shaggy.

I'm a delicious salty cracker. Huh?

A delicious salty cracker?

Yum. Like, this is good.

I can see why Polly always wants a cracker.

Ha, ha.

Tastes pretty good, huh? Aah!

[PARROT SQUAWKING

& SHAGGY SCREAMING]

[EASY-LISTENING MUSIC PLAYING]

[PARROT SQUAWKING

& SHAGGY SCREAMING]

SHAGGY:

He's so fast!

[WHIMPERING]

Please, spare me.

Guys.

Birdy. Nice birdy. Nice birdy.

[PARROT SQUAWKING]

[SCREAMING]

[SQUAWKING]

ALL:

Gotcha!

I think I laid an egg, gang.

DAPHNE & FRED:

We got him.

Now it's time to solve the mystery

and show who the Phantom Parrot really is.

- Mr. Lighthouse-Man?

- Dr. Escobar?

Nope. It's...

[GRUNTS]

GANG:
Pizza delivery boy Stu?

- Yeah.

FRED:

How'd you know, Velma?

Well, those red splotches turned out

to be pizza sauce from Stu's pizzas.

And that bicycle was Stu's delivery bike.

[SPITS THEN SCOFFS]

VELMA:
And those glasses

and telescope were Stu's too.

And that pirate map is mine. Ugh.

It accidentally fell into your pizza

when we were cooking it.

Like, finders keepers, man.

No, the map's mine and so is the treasure.

I'm the great-great-great-great-great-grandkid

of Gnarlybeard the pirate maybe.

So you created the Phantom Parrot to scare

everyone off so you could find the treasure.

Sure did, and I would've got away with it

if not for you meddling kids.

But you're, like, a kid too, Stu.

- And kind of meddling.

- True.

[SCOFFS]

Now let me out of this cage, man. Unh!

Come on, I'm not... I'm not playing here.

[ALL SIGH]

It's too bad the map led

to the lighthouse but no treasure.

The treasure's gotta be

out there somewhere.

VELMA:

Hmm.

Like, all I know

is I've got my own treasure right here.

[PARROT SQUAWKS]

Like, Ye Phantom Parrot's back!

[SQUAWKING]

[SCOOBY GIGGLING]

[GRUNTS]

Scooby-Dooby-Doo!

MAN [ON TV]:

Weather will remain sunny...

...which means the Coolsville Mayoral Race

is up for grabs.

In other news, it's the final delivery

for pizza delivery boy Stu Stukowski.

- Hey, it's about Stu.

- I wonder if he'll mention us.

Stu was arrested for dressing up

like a crazed 7-foot green bird...

...while hunting for Gnarlybeard's treasure.

- But the map didn't lead to any treasure.

I wonder if there even is a treasure.

Of course there's a treasure!

And it's still out there!

[DAPHNE & FRED GASP]

VELMA:

Jinkies, he's right.

I've got big news, everyone.

DAPHNE & FRED:
What?

- The most important part of... Ahh.

Scooby, Shaggy. Wake up!

- Hey.

- We're up. We're up. We're up.

The most important part

of Gnarlybeard's map is missing.

- That's why it didn't lead to any treasure.

- What are you talking about, Velma?

This corner here is gone, which would

show exactly where X marks the spot.

I don't like where this is going, Scoob.

Come on.

Hmm. And the missing piece kind of looks

like someone took a bite out of it.

Someone did. Scooby.

- Me?

- You accidentally ate it with the pizza.

SCOOBY:

Hmm.

[GIGGLES]

This x-ray machine should give us

some insight.

See? There it is.

SHAGGY:
Like, how'd it taste, Scoob?

- Not bad.

[BOTH LAUGH]

VELMA:

Jinkies.

We now have the complete treasure map and

the exact location of "X marks the spot."

Look.

DAPHNE:
So the X wasn't in the creepy

old abandoned lighthouse.

Nope. According to the map,

it's up on the creepy old abandoned bluff.

Like, no way.

If it's creepy, you can count us out.

- Me too.

- Shaggy, we have to go for the treasure now.

Yeah, come on.

Ahem. Guys?

Like, I have a bad feeling

about this, Scoob.

Me too, Shaggy.

[SIGHS]

VELMA:
This printout of the complete map

should do the trick.

Come on, guys, the bluff is this way.

[SCREAMING IN DISTANCE]

Like, what was that?

[SCREAMING CONTINUES]

- And that?

- I don't know.

But I do know someone's coming. Hide.

Come along, Shirley.

There's no time to waste.

- Coming.

- Ugh. It's got to be around here somewhere.

We can't let anyone find it before we do.

Okay.

[ESCOBAR COUGHS]

It was that meanie Dr. Escobar.

And that cutie Shirley.

Gosh, she smells terrific.

- Freddy!

- Hmm?

MAN:

Hot dogs. Get your red-hots.

Speaking of smelling terrific,

how about those hot dogs?

Yeah.

[BOTH SNIFFING]

- Scooby?

- Shaggy?

We've got a mystery to solve.

MAN:

Hot dogs here. Get your red-hots.

Hot dogs here. Get your red-hots.

Get... Oh.

- Hey, we'd like a hot dog or two.

- Or three.

Whoa. You got it, sonny.

I just served another kid.

What's going on around here tonight,
