## Script

(Title has Scrap on it)

Scrap:Spooky Island Puptacular.

(We open on a rainy day in Adventure Bay where at the Soda Shop, the Mystery Squad are enjoying lunch at their booth)

Timothy:Sure was nice of Mr. Porter to give us a few days off.

Courtney:That's the only thing we do when were aren't solving mysteries or taking care of our families.

Scrap:Katie calls a dog show the Puptacular.

Mayabella:You want me to enter you in that Scrap?

Scrap:No thanks Mayabella.

Virginia:Guys, I don't know about you but I'm ready for a vacation.

(Scrap eats French fries and gets an idea)

Scrap:Oh I got an idea. Miami. We can go on an adventure in the Bermuda Triangle, play in the sand, get wet like Zuma always says and we can dive in like he always says.

Mayabella:He always does say that when he's the pup for a water rescue.

Timothy:You know that's not such a bad idea. I'd like to see Courtney here in a bathing suit, a two pice one.

Virginia:Really?

Timothy:(Tries to think)Uh no, I meant I could make us some grilling hamburgers, and Courtney could take a sun bath and you guys can go have beach fun.

Courtney:We *could* turn the radio on and dance to the tunes on it.

Scrap:It's gonna be a puptacular vacation guys!

(Timothy reads through the paper)

Timothy:Bad news guys, Miami is closing its beaches because of a Tangu monster. The Clue Kids are investigating it.

Scrap:So much for that.

Virginia:Hey guys here's this. (Shows her phone with the ad)Spooky Island, the frightfully world famous hot spot for collage students. It has dancing ghouls and monster roller coasters, and the Hex Girls are playing there.

Scrap:You mean like the ones from Scooby-Doo?

Virginia:The very same.

Mayabella:How do we get there?

Virginia:It's only a ferry ride away so it wouldn't be that much money.

Timothy:I got it. We can share rooms to be cheaper. Courtney can have a room, I could have a room and Mayabella, Virginia and Scrap can share a room.

(A creepy elderly man comes)

Elderly Man:Did you say you kids were going to Spooky Island?

Timothy:Well yeah. Is there's something wrong?

Elderly Man:Stay away from that island. Couple young people went to the island last summer and when they got back. They came back a week later, they were....different! I can't explain it but they just weren't themselves. I'm only saying this once kids. Stay away from Spooky Island.

(Moves his eyes from left to right in a suspicious way and backs away in a suspicious way)

Scrap:That was creepy.

Mayabella:How about we go tomorrow?

Timothy:That's a good idea Mayabella.

Courtney:I'll go pack some clothes for the beach!

Timothy:The it's agreed, we'll head to the island in the morning.

Scrap:So we better head home and get some sleep tonight.

Mayabella:Yeah and pack up some clothes.

(Cuts to Mayabella's house at night we then cut to inside the hallway where Scrap comes out of the bathroom with a tooth brush, brushing his teeth, Mayabella comes out with her nightgown on)

Mayabella:Dinner was good and tonight is gonna be good too.

Scrap:Yeah, you said it Mayabella. (Yawns)I'm tired.

Mayabella:Me too Scrap.

(They go to bed)

Scrap:Good night Mayabella.

Mayabella:Good night Scrap.

(We cut to the night sky, it fades to daytime we then cut to Mayabella and Scrap coming out of the house and Mayabella locks the door and they walk to the beach we then cut to the gang waiting for them)

Virginia:Wait a second captain, they'll be here soon.

Captain:You'll have to turn back and think this thing though. Demonic creatures haunt the island.

(They make it)

Scrap:We're here.

Captain:Good, cause this is about the time to ship out. But like I said, you'll have to think it through and go home.

Timothy:It's too late for that. Come on you guys let's go. Come on.

(The captain mumbles and goes up to the control station we then cut to the ship on the water)

Scrap:Boy this is gonna be amazing. I could get used to island life. How about you Mayabella?

Mayabella:Yeah, it's the best.

(Cuts to Timothy walking and looking down at the ocean)

Timothy:Yup sure is nice out here on the open sea. No mysteries no worries no.....

(Sees something but its gone)

Timothy:What? (To himself)Oh great Timothy now you're seeing things.

(Courtney comes up behind him putting her hand on his shoulder straddling him)

Courtney:(OS)Timmy?

(Timothy is startled and turns around)

Timothy:Ahhh! (Relived)Oh it's only you Courtney.

(She wears what she wore on the trip to Mystery Island and Haunted Island)

Courtney:This is cute isn't it?

Timothy:Yeah it sure is.

Virginia:What was that screaming all about?

Timothy:I thought I saw something in the water but it's gone now.

Virginia:It was probably just a fish.

Timothy:Oh no, it wasn't a fish it was bigger like a a human. Hey uh where's Mayabella and Scrap?

Virginia:They got board so they went to explore the ship. Isn't it strange that we're the only ones on this ship?

(Mayabella and Scrap walk past them)

Mayabella:We got snacks cause it's around lunch time and we wanted to grab a bite to eat.

Scrap:I got pup treats.

Mayabella:Hey guys have you noticed that we're the only ones on this ferry?

Virginia:Yeah it seems that way.

Timothy:Maybe perhaps some are already at the island either getting drunk or having a time partying.

Scrap:I'm still unease about what that old guy said about people acting strange when they come back.

Timothy:This again? Come on Scrap you can't seriously think that an amusement park built on a remote island far away from civilization is a weird place do you?

Scrap:(Sarcastically)Wow when you put it that way yeah what was I thinking?

Timothy:Look you're the one being paranoid about this. You didn't have to come.

Scrap:What was I suppose to do? Stay home with nothing to do?

Timothy:Maybe.

(Courtney comes to them)

Courtney:Come on guys we're about to approach the island. Don't you want to see it as we approach?

Timothy:Sure babe.

(They go up to the front upstairs and they see the island)

Timothy:Spooky Island, dead ahead.

(Scrap gulped about that, they see the skull carved into the mountain starring right at them as if into their very soul)

Scrap:(To himself)I've got a bad feeling about this.

(The captain comes up to them)

Ferry Captain:We're here. There's only one thing I have to tell you kids before ya set foot onto the dock.

Scrap:W-W-W-What?

Ferry Captain:Beware of the evils that lurk on the island. Enjoy you stay.

(Chuckles evilly to himself and leaves and Scrap becomes unease about this)

Scrap:Oh boy.

(Cuts to them walking on the dock as Scrap looks at the giant teeth shaped posts feeling nervous)

Mayabella:The island seemed more imposing in person than on the billboards and fliers.

Scrap:Don't you mean "Seemed more imposing on the Scooby-Doo movie"?

Timothy:Just look at this place. Impressively tall roller coasters, skull decorations and a monstrous animatronic thing.

Scrap:Wha?!

Animatronic:Muhahahaha, welcome to Spooky Island! Your biggest fears realized!

Scrap:I don't know whether to be scared or just concerned.

(The animatronic hits a passing visitor)

Girl:Hey! Watch it jerk.

Animatronic:Oh I'm so sorry my dear! That's the third time this week!

Virginia:Wait did that thing just replied to her?

Animatronic:What? Of course not....Uh I mean welcome to Spooky....Oh forget it.

(Defeated, the arms of the animatronic stopped falling, the back opened appeared to be giving birth to something, the gang stood and looked as they heard mechanical noises inside, after getting stuck, eventually out popped a rather strange looking man)

Mondavarious:Ah that's better, oh thank goodness. (To the gang)Welcome to Spooky Island, the frightfully popular spring break spot for collage students.

Virginia:(Annoyed)We get it!

Mondavarious:Sorry. I was going to make an announcement after the Hex Girls performance but you all clearly worked it out. I am Emile Mondavarious, the owner of this amusement park. (They just stare at him)The....Owner of Spooky Island.

Mystery Squad:Ohhhhhh.

Timothy:I don't see it. I expected someone scary.

Mondavarious:Oh come now. I can assure you I can be quite vicious.

(Makes weird faces trying to be scary but only coming across as weird)

Mayabella:(Sarcastically)Wow terrifying.

Mondavarious: Yes well....If you'll excuse me.

(Turns to leave quickly but Timothy was close behind him)

Timothy:Mr. Mondavarious...Was it? Anyway listen, I know your game pal there's something weird going on with this place and I'm not gonna rest until.....

(Before Timothy could finish Mondavarious stopped and turned around to face him)

Mondavarious:So you do suspect? Come with me quickly! I need to show you something.

(The group followed in haste as Mondavarious led them off the pier to the entrance to the island)

Mondavarious:You're all very perspective. Yes, something terrible is happening here and I have no idea what it is. Quick look here!

(He pointed to queued up to depart the island)

Mondavarious:Do you notice the difference between those arriving and those departing?

Scrap:(OS)They look like sober well behaved collage kids.

Mondavarious:(OS)Yes but they didn't. Before the came. (Back to the gang) They've changed, in other words a magic spell.

Virginia:What do you think it is?

Mondavarious:I don't know. A magic spell perhaps? I'm not sure but if you can find anything my dear boy and girls and dog er pup, please don't hesitate to fill me in on what you uncover! Now if you'll all excuse me I must start the daily announcements.

(And just like that he scuttled away)

Scrap:You see? I knew something was going on!

Mayabella:Oh come on Scrap!

Scrap:The guy is full of it.

Timothy:He's clearly putting on an act to prank you based on your paranoia. The place *is* called "Spooky Island" it's all an act!

Scrap:No. Something is wrong and once I prove you wrong.

Courtney:Ok enough! Let's not spoil the first day here by fighting.

Virginia:She's right. Let's all just go to the hotel and unpack then we can start doing whatever we want here! Sound go to you both?!

Timothy:Yeah great.

(They pick up their cases and walk to the hotel, Scrap notices the people by the gates and their eyes glow green and he is scared and runs after the gang, after they unpacked and freshened up they decided to check out the rides Timothy investigated the island)

Courtney:Hey look at this. (Picks up a pice of black cloth)This could be a clue.

Virginia:Hey this paper could be a clue. It's about this weird ritual.

Mayabella:Hey you guys there's gonna be a show about the history of the island. We should check it out.

(As they walk off glowing green eyes watch from the dark shadows flames comes up and we see the Ring of Fire a ceremonial place where they tell the history of Spooky Island, as drummers beat the voodoo drums and people gather around)

Scrap:Mayabella, I'm scared!

Mayabella:Don't worry Scrap, I'm here.

(Booming sounds are heard and dancers gather around roar at them causing Scrap to scream in terror and as the dancers dance they sing a chant and a bald elderly man wearing red ceremonial robes approaches a podium with papers in his hand)

Monsune Terrasse:Spooky Island! I Monsune Terrasse welcome you for the frightfully fun time you might have. This enchanted island, is a throughafere to the supernatural realm! Centuries it was home to creatures, who lived on the island. Undisturbed. But then! Years ago. Emile Mondavarious! Antagonized these ancient beings! By building a theme park here! They watch from the shadows of the night! Seeing what was once their home! They are angry. So while you...Party! They plot their REVENGE!!!!!!!

(Walks around as a demon head appears in the fire)

Monsune Terrasse:Do my friends frighten you all?

(Says that to the gang)

Virginia:Not at all. It's all projections.

Mayabella:Yeah, hidden there. And there. And there.

(Says that as we move around to see that lights are coming from the statues and the eyes of the center door to the stage we cut back to them)

Monsune Terrasse:(Pats their heads)What smart little ones.

(Walks away we cut to Timothy and Courtney enjoying their date)

Courtney:This has been lovely.

Timothy:Yeah, with you cutie.

(Has his arm around her and they see Elvin an Africa American male who is dressed like he is going to preform a ritual)

Elvin:(To Dead Mike)And that is why the demons haunt the island.

Dead Mike:E-yeah you tell me that every night. Look Elvin, I'm running a business here. Not a story telling club.

Elvin:It's no story Mike! The creatures are out to get everyone's soul! And you along with everyone else will be foolish enough to fall for it all! I'm the only native on this island so I know. No tellin' what they could do. They could haul me off to the Spooky Island Castle. That's the perfect hot spot. You might even spit in the eye of the Demon Queen!

Dead Mike:Listen, I'm not the one for giving advice. But this whole thing is out of hand. And the more you say about demons, the more people come to my place for fun. So yeah you're helping drum up business in a way.

Elvin:Jenning, the caretaker calmed to see one!

Dead Mike:Jenning is a nut! He says that because you cause him to say that!

(Jenning a middle aged white male who is bald comes by saying)

Jenning:It's no joke! I really did see one! I had to take shelter in the castle!

Timothy:You thinking what I'm thinking babe?

Courtney:Go up to the castle? Yeah.

(They grab stuff and get ready to kick butt, Timothy grabs a Fred Jones ascot and ties it around his neck and uses baseball bats to do martial arts with and puts the stuff in his back pack we cut to Courtney who looks at herself and puts some new clothes on which is a light blue bikini top, covered by a lance blue vest, with the tails parting to the sides exposing her midriff and wears jean shorts and ties her hair into a bun and does karate kicks we cut to Virginia who ties a bandana around her head and and uses some mirrors to shine the light on the demons, we cut to Mayabella and Scrap, Scrap is acting fearsome and Mayabella uses nunchucks and pretends to hit someone we cut to Scrap helping get ropes and pulleys and a net and Timothy gets the bright lights we cut to the girls getting mountain climbing stuff we cut to the cave where the put the plan into motion, Courtney climbs up the wall scaling it in a catwalk and Timothy is hooking things together and as Courtney starts to open a vent leading outside she and Timothy look at each other smiling and Scrap holds up the net and connects it to a hook and Virginia puts the lever near one wall and Mayabella hoistes up the mirrors and Timothy zip lines over to her and she helps him get out of them)

Timothy:Ok. We use the pulleys to tip over the vat.

(Cuts to Courtney who is starting to open the vent)

Mayabella:(OS)Then Courtney will open the air vents from the outside and release the light.

(Back to them)

Timothy:The light will reflect off the mirrors.
