## Script

(We open on nighttime in Adventure Bay the Mystery Patrol are at Mr. Porter's Cafe in a booth)

Ryder:Alright everyone. This date night has been fun.

Danny:Like yeah. The movies and dinner at Mr. Porter's place.

Rubble:Yeah it's the best food ever!

(Mr. Porter comes by)

Mr. Porter:Aw thanks boys you flatter me.

Danny:Hey it's true. Shaggy and Scooby even liked your food.

Mr. Porter:It does my heart good to see you all coming in and eating.

Ranger:And we also hang out at the soda shop which is also partly owned by you.

Danny:And we've had ice cream sundaes and banana smoothies with whipped cream and and liverwurst and onion ice cream sandwiches.

Rubble:French fries, hamburgers and pizza bagels. Friendship is magic just like the My Little Pony series.

Mr. Porter:Can I get you kids anything else?

Ryder:Ah no thanks, no we're good. We're gonna head home.

Katie:Yeah it's been great here.

Ace:Well see you tomorrow or around Mr. Porter.

Mr. Porter:Bye kids.

(We fade to them walking to the Mystery Patroller)

Ryder:Come on gang it's time we head for home.

Danny:Yeah I wanna catch the early late show on TV. (They get in the van)It's called I Was a Teenage Blob.

Ace:I saw that. Boy was it corny. (They drive away)The blob would hide in the back of cars and wait for his victims.

(We fade to the van driving through the foggy road)

Katie:This creepy short cut you're taking Ryder gives me the chills.

Danny:Yeah like me too.

Ryder:That's cause the heater's broken.

Ranger:It's like we're going to Foggy Bottom. (Thinks of something)Hey I know the perfect short cut. (Cuts to the van) Here's the short cut.

(Cuts to a spooky cemetery with bats flying around making noises)

Danny:But Ranger. This is a cemetery. You know Rubble and I hate cemeteries.

Ranger:Yeah but it's the only short cut home Danny. It's either we take the long short cut or this short cut.

Danny:What's the long short cut?

Ranger:Across a creepy bridge.

Danny:I'll take my choices with the cemetery shot cut.

Rubble:Me too.

Ranger:I knew you would. Come on.

(They drive trough the creepy graveyard)

Danny:Man I don't know about this. I'm getting a creepy Thriller vibe about this dude.

Rubble:Me too. My knees are knocking.

Danny:Like mine too buddy. As long as we have each other Rubble we'll be on our own.

Rubble:And the gang too. We always need them.

Danny:Like yeah, them too.

Rubble:So? Second thoughts?

Danny:Honestley buddy, I'm on my fourth and fifth thought.

Ace:According to the story, a man who worked and owned the cemetery didn't like people visiting it. The people who visit it are the ones who see their grandparents, their families' parents, their patents, their friends' parents, so on and so for who died there. They always cried cause they missed them. And the guy got really annoyed to sear them crying, so he complained to the police but the police told him they can't do anything about it. So he had bit of a temper tantrum and he punched the police officer in the face and when the other officers saw he punched him in the face they tried to put him in a jail cell, but he ran out of the police station and ran back to the cemetery, he asked an evil god to make his wish come true, but the evil god gave him something else. The evil god turned him into a graveyard ghoul. With the spell he used to cast on him turn him into a graveyard ghoul. His feet ripped through his shoes, and his shirt, and all he wore was his black coat and wore black hair. He had no shirt or shoes. They say that the Graveyard Ghoul which was the man owned the cemetery haunts it and scares anyone who ever goes and sees the people whoever dies.

Danny:Like talk about a backstory.

Ryder:And talk about a deal with the devil.

Rubble:Yeah, and I'm completely scared!

Ranger:Hold on, if there's a graveyard ghoul haunting the cemetery, does that mean we have a mystery to solve?

(They look at each other)

Ryder:Yes, we have another mystery to solve. We've got another mystery on our hands!

(They pull over and get out)

Ryder:Ok gang, let's split up and look for clues.
