With the votes in on my latest poll, it's Scooby Doo meeting some aliens! Enjoy!

Inside a quarantined factory in a dark city, a hideous mutant monster was chasing a tall, lanky teenager in a green shirt, brown bellbottom pants and had short dusty blonde hair. His name was Shaggy Rogers, he was running alongside his best friend, a Great Dane named Scooby Doo.

"Like, run, Scoob!" Shaggy screamed as the roaring monster kept chase.

"R'im running! R'im running!" Scooby replied.

The duo kept running and passed by a corner. Once the monster passed as well, a huge net lifted up and trapped the monster.

"We did it!" From the shadows, there were three other teens. A tall, statuesque blonde boy with a white sweater over a blue shirt and pants along with an orange ascot around his neck, his name was Fred Jones.

Daphne Blake, a redhead in a purple dress with a green scarf and headband. And finally, a girl in an orange sweater and red skirt, the team genius, Velma Dinkley.

Once the cops arrived, Velma did the honors of unmasking the villain. "The Midtown Mutant is none other than...!" She pulled off the mask, revealing a middle-aged man.

"Joe Harbors?!" the gang said in unison.

"That's right." Velma confirmed. "He discovered that there was oil right under this building! So he decided to haunt his brother's business to shut it down so he could sell this property and retire rich!"

"And I would have gotten away with it too! If it weren't for you meddling kids!" Joe said with a sneer.

After the cops took Harbors away, the gang decided to celebrate with a trip to the local malt shop.

"I tell ya, guys, this is getting too easy." Fred said after taking a sip of his milkshake.

"I'll say! We're getting better and better with every case!" Daphne added.

Shaggy and Scooby finished scarfing down their tenth cheeseburger. "Yeah, but the monsters are getting scarier!"

"Reah! Rarier!" Scooby agreed.

Velma shook her head. "Come on, you two! How could you still get scared by monsters if they aren't even real?"

"Velma's right. In fact, she's always right." said Daphne. "The monsters always turns out to be bad guys in a mask. You two should know that by now!"

The two friends paused their eating, letting that comment sink in. It all made sense now that they thought about it.

"Like, I guess we were too busy being scared to remember that." Shaggy admitted. "Y'know, Scoob, the girls are right! We've dealt with all sorts of creepy creeps before, but never a real monster!"

Scooby nodded. "Reah!"

"That's because there's no such thing as ghosts or monsters or anything abnormal like that." Fred confirmed.

Velma firmly adjusted her glasses. "Agreed. So I say we put this monster nonsense behind us and take a break from mystery solving."

Daphne beamed. "And I know how!" Excitement came across her face. "There's going to be a beauty pageant nearby and I'm going to check it out!"

Just then, a hand smacked down on the table. The gang jumped, Scooby and Shaggy choked on their milkshakes.

"Well, good luck trying to beat me!" said a snobby, bratty voice.

Daphne looked up and saw a girl. She could tell this was a mean girl right off the bat. "The name's Stephanie." said the smirking girl. "And next to your choice of outfits, competing against me in the Belle of Bellwood pageant is the biggest mistake of your life!"

That's all it took. Daphne stood her ground and met Stephanie's gaze. "Oh, yeah? Well, it'll be snowing in Florida before you win a pageant of any kind!" Daphne fumed back. "So get ready to be a loser!"

"In your dreams!" Stephanie sneered with a neck roll. As she walked out the door, Daphne lifted the gang out of their booth. "Come on, I've got a pageant to win!"

"But I thought you wanted to check out the pageant!" Velma fumbled as she was shoved into the Mystery Machine, the gang's signature van.

"And let that thing get away with those words? I don't think so!"

With that said, the gang drove off to the town of Bellwood. They arrived the very next day without even taking a break, since Fred was dozing off in the middle of the trip, Daphne took over as driver and tore through the streets just to get to town.

At the center where the pageant was being held, beautiful, confident girls were signing up. Daphne promptly wrote her name on the sheet and marched to the nearest shopping mall to pick out a stylish outfit for tonight.

Meanwhile, the gang were waiting for Daphne at the food court. Fred checked his watch. "Geez, Daphne sure is determined to win this thing if it's taking her this long to choose the right clothes."

"What is it with women being so competitive with beauty these days?" Velma wondered out loud. "Isn't a woman's intelligence and personality all that matters?"

"I agree with you there." said a new voice. The four friends turned and saw two twin girls with ice blue eyes. One was blonde and wore glasses while the other was a brunette with no glasses. "Sorry if we were eavesdropping." the blonde apologized. "We were just trying to find some good seats and we heard talk about the pageant. So we couldn't help ourselves."

"Rat's rokay." Scooby said.

The girls yelped when they heard Scooby speak and took a step back. "You can talk?!" the brunette asked, wide eyed.

"Of course he can, what's wrong with that?" Shaggy asked, confused.

"Dogs aren't suppose to talk!" said the brown haired girl. "Is he really a dog?"

"And if he is a dog, how can he talk?" questioned the blondie.

"Hmm..." Scooby scratched his head, pondering. Scooby never wondered how he was able to talk.

"He is a real dog. He's just a dog that talks." Shaggy strongly confirmed. "And like, who are you two?"

The blonde smiled. "My name's Rachel and this is my sister, Sasha." Sasha simply waved before turning her attention back to Scooby, fascinated. She scratched him behind the ears and the dog thumped his leg in excitement.

"Who are you guys?" asked Rachel.

"I'm Fred, this is Velma, Shaggy and the dog is Scooby Doo." Fred introduced. "So, are you girls entering the pageant too?"

Rachel shook her head. "Nah, we're not into that kind of stuff. Right, Sasha?"

"Right, sis." Sasha replied as she rubbed Scooby's tummy.

Daphne arrived at the food court with an armful of shopping bags. "Alright, I've got everything I need to win the-" She paused her words when she saw the two attractive sisters. "And who are these two?" she asked suspiciously. "Come to gloat too?"

Rachel cocked her head back. "Gloat? What are you talking about?" Sasha was too busy playing with Scooby to pay any attention.

"Relax, Daphne." Velma told her. "We were just having a friendly chat with Rachel and Sasha."

"And they're not even entering the pageant anyway." Fred added. He turned to Rachel. "Sorry about that, some girl named Stephanie got our friend Daphne all wired up about this pageant thing."

"Oh, don't let Stephanie get to you." Rachel told Daphne. "She couldn't win a pageant to save her life. So I wouldn't worry about her." She looked at her wristwatch. "Whoa! We're gonna be late for our date with the boys! Come on, Sasha!"

"Okay." Sasha stopped playing and patted Scooby on the head. "Goodbye, Scooby." She gave him a little kiss on the head. Scooby blushed and let out a goofy chuckle.

"Good luck at the pageant, Daphne!" Rachel called as she and her sister hurried out of the mall.

"Like, those girls sure are nice!" said Shaggy.

"Rand retty roo." Scooby gushed, swooning over Sasha.

Daphne rolled her eyes. Just then, a tote carrying girl walked over to Mystery Inc. "I wouldn't get too fond to them if I were you." she said.

"Why?" Velma asked curiously.

"Because they live in the haunted Grant Mansion!" answered the girl, squeezing her tote strap.

Shaggy and Scooby jumped. "Haunted?!" they said together.

"That's right. The Grant Mansion is crawling with ghosts and monsters! The only way those girls are still alive is that they've become one of them!"

Poor Scooby and Shaggy were terrified already, but the rest of the gang was not.

"I sincerly doubt that." Velma replied.

"And who cares about a haunted house when I've got a pageant to win?!" Daphne said. "Come on, you guys!" She took the gang out of the mall and Daphne prepared herself to be the Belle of Bellwood pageant princess.

When night fell and the streetlights came on, the Belle of Bellwood pageant was beginning. The seats were packed, but the gang managed to score the perfect seats to watch the show.

A tall, slender man in a spiffy suit came on stage holding a wireless microphone, one the lights dimmed and the spotlight hit him, he spoke. "Welcome one and all to the Belle of Bellwood beauty pageant!"

The room filled with whistles and applause. The man continued. "Now, let's get things started by having a look at tonight's beauties to claim the crown!"

The sparkly curtains pulled back and revealed a lineup of the loveliest ladies. The whole stage lit up in their presence, as well as the faces of every male in the audience. The gang could see Daphne wearing her sweetest smile, strutting her stuff in her slimming, glittery purple gown. Standing right next to her was Stephanie in a midnight blue ball gown.

"Like, wow! Daphne's got some real competition up there!" Shaggy said after sipping his soft drink.

"Don't worry, Daphne's got this in the bag." Fred said.

Just then, the lights went out. Everyone immediately panicked, the announcer tried to calm things down. "Now, everyone! Remain calm! We're, uh, just having a technical issue with the lighting, that's all! So please remain cal-"

All of a sudden, a hooded woman appeared over the stage in a pink flash. Her black cloak flowing as she held her arms wide. The woman raised her arms higher and higher, and strange words emerged from her mouth.

The breeze she was creating became stronger as a glowing pink aura crackled from her hands. She flicked her outstretched fingers.

BLAM!

The woman, Daphne, as well as every beauty pageant contestant, disappeared.
