It was a nice morning at the Wallis house and Scott was wondering what to do until his older sister was checking the mail.

"Hey, Al." Scott greeted his sister.

"Hey, Scott, got a special letter from someone we haven't seen in a while." Albertha smirked to her younger brother.

"Really, who?" Scott asked.

"Our cousin Millie." Albertha told him.

"What does she want?" Scott asked.

"I dunno, Scott, why don't you read it?" Al punched her brother's arm with a laugh.

"Ha ha ha, very funny." Scott deadpanned.

Al gave him the letter and laughed as she went away.

"Visit the Dude Ranch..." Scott took a look at the letter. "I haven't seen Millie since Mammy's funeral. Hmm... Maybe Jade would like to go with me?"

Al just laughed.

"You're just jealous cuz I'm in love and you're not!" Scott glared at his sister.

"Yeah, right," Al blew a raspberry at him before laughing. "Who needs a guy right now?"

Scott rolled his eyes and then decided to call Jade, but he got someone else at first.

"Lisa the Babysitter speaking~" a different female voice answered.

"Oh, sorry, I must have the wrong number, I was trying to call Jade Summers." Scott replied.

"Oh, she's right here," Lisa replied. "Jade! Someone wants to talk to you!"

"I'll be right over!" Jade's voice called back.

"She'll be right over... You sound cuter than Jeff..." Lisa smirked.

"Erm, I'm Jade's boyfriend, Scott..." Scott replied nervously.

"Oh, right, sorry about that... I forgot." Lisa said.

"Is Jade coming over soon?" Scott asked nervously.

Lisa just giggled. "You're funny~"

"Thanks, Lees," Jade took the phone. "Hey, Scott, sorry about that, I had to break up a fight between Dexter and Dee Dee."

"That's all right." Scott replied.

"So, what's up?" Jade asked.

"Um, well, my cousin Millie invited me over to a dude ranch and I was wondering if ya'd like to come..." Scott invited shyly and nervously.

"Why, I'd be happy to!" Jade beamed. "When do we leave?"

"The day after tomorrow, gives us time to invite other people like Chicken and Lightning." Scott smiled.

"Only if Katrina and Ellody can come with them." Jade said.

"Yes, of course." Scott nodded since they were his best friends' girlfriends and his girlfriend's best friends after all.

"Yeah, I can just text 'em," Jade nodded. "Flem and Earl won't be able to come since they're having a party at Veronica's place."

"That sounds good to me, we'll round up some other people later in the day..." Scott smiled. "Uh, are you babysitting your cousins?"

"Sorta, Aunt Kathy is making her famous muffins." Jade said.

"Muffins..." Scott drooled a bit.

"Don't worry, I'll save ya a couple." Jade promised.

"Sounds great..." Scott smiled. "You're the best, Jade."

"I know I am." Jade giggled.

"Kids! Lunch is ready!" Kathy called out.

"Oh, I gotta go, I'll see ya later." Jade told her boyfriend.

"See ya, Jade," Scott said before hanging up. "Better go see what the gang's doing."


Meanwhile Lightning, Katrina, and Chicken were playing basketball with Ellody was watching.

"Hey, Light Bulb, less gawkin' and more playin'!" Chicken scolded.

"Shh!" Lightning told him. "I need to sha-focus!"

"You need to focus on the ball before it hits your head!" Katrina said as she had the ball next.

"Shh!" Lightning then shushed her. "Please let me concentrate."

Katrina rolled her eyes and shot the next basket.

"She shoots..." Chicken started.

"She scores!" Katrina finished in delight.

Chicken and Katrina laughed and high-fived each other.

"Aww... No fair." Lightning pouted.

"Should've been payin' attention, Lightning." Chicken laughed at his jock friend.

"This game isn't so hard..." Katrina smiled. "Maybe I should be on the team with Mandy, Numbuh 4, Buttercup, Courage, Dexter, and Eddy."

"I'm surprised that Mandy and Eddy of all people are on the basketball team." Chicken commented.

"Mandy says that gym is a good way for a girl to release any anger she has from other classes." Katrina told her boyfriend.

"And what about Eddy?" Chicken asked. "Last time I checked, he wasn't the athletic type."

"I think he just wants to show off, especially to that Kevin Barr boy." Katrina suggested with a shrug.

"Typical..." Chicken scoffed.


Scott came to his friends, after they all greeted each other, he then invited them to come visit his cousin in the dude ranch out of town. "So, what do you guys say?" he then asked. "You wanna come with?"

"Sure, Scott, anything's better than being with Courtney," Ellody accepted. "But what about Flem and Earl?"

"They're having a party at Veronica's house for a couple of days." Scott replied.

"So nice that Trixie and Veronica are done with Tad and Chad for good." Ellody smiled.

"I know, right?" Katrina agreed.

"It feels like happy endings are all coming together... Just how Mama would want..." Ellody sighed.

"And Cow won't be there neither 'cuz she's having a spa day with Mom." Chicken added.

"Oh, Chicken, you should be nicer to your sister." Katrina told her boyfriend.

"At least now she won't bother anyone..." Chicken muttered under his breath.

"All right, now that you guys are in, who else should I invite?" Scott wondered.

"Hmm... Maybe The Eds, Mike, June, and Dee Dee?" Ellody suggested. "I hear Mike's girlfriend is in town, I'd really like to meet her."

"Oh, oh, we should invite the Mystery Inc!" Katrina piped up. "I would love to hang to hang out with them again!"

"Ooh, Scott, can we?" Chicken asked since Katrina was happy.

"Sure, what the heck?" Scott shrugged.

"Sha-finally, a vacation." Lightning was relieved.

"Great!" Scott smiled to his best friends.

"And the best of all, no Cow." Chicken said.

"No Courtney." Ellody added.

"And no Sugar!" Jade beamed.

"All right!" Everyone cheered together and thanked Scott.

"I'll call Brianna and let her know." Ellody decided.

"And I'll get Mike and her girlfriend." Scott offered.

"I wonder if we'll get to meet Mike's uncle," Chicken hoped. "From what I heard, he's an ex-gunslinger."

"It wouldn't surprise me." Ellody giggled.

"Wait, Mike has an uncle?" Lightning asked.

Everyone then gave him a deadpan look in response.


Cindy was in her house and was pretending to be a cowgirl. "I got you!" she then smirked as she lassoed Penn as he was sitting on the couch and reading a book. "Now it's time for ya to go back to the ranch, ya cow!"

"Whatever..." Penn yawned boredily.

Cindy then tried to pull on him. "Come on, get up..."

Penn rolled his eyes, he then stood up and walked behind her. "Okay, okay... Moo..." he then sat down in a pillow fort.

"I'm the best gunslinger of the west!" Cindy said before pewing and pointing her fingers like guns.

"Sure you are." Penn sounded anything but interested.

Cindy giggled. "Okay, now I'll ride on you and you can be my horse."

"Ooh! Ooh! I have an idea..." Penn raised his hand. "How about... No."

"Aww... Why not?" Cindy asked.

"Sorry, Cindy, but I'm not playing with you today..." Penn picked her up and sat on her the couch. "Now, do Uncle Penn a favor and watch TV."

"But there's nothing on but SpongeBob and Teen Titans Go." Cindy pouted.

"Then do something else!" Penn glared.

Cindy pouted and then turned on the TV to watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

"My Little Pony..." Penn shuddered. "Guh..."

"This show's the better one!" Cindy told him. "Look, you're in this episode!"

Penn ignored her and then read his book. "Sure I am..."

"You are! Look!" Cindy pointed.

Penn then ignored her. Cindy frowned to him.

"I think I'm gonna take you to the Plaza Hotel to check out the Eloise suite." Penn rolled his eyes as he read a book.

"How come?" Cindy asked.

"Keep you busy..." Penn rolled his eyes. "There must be something you can do for fun."

There was then a knock at the door and Cindy then answered it with a smile. "Jade, hi!"

"Hi, Cindy, you ever go to a Dude Ranch before?" Jade asked.

"I don't think so... Though, I think I'm a dudette... Whatever Jude called me..." Cindy replied thoughtfully.

"No, no, it's a ranch called the Crazy Q Ranch." Jade told her.

"Oh, okay... That's a weird name," Cindy commented. "So, when do we leave?"

"Depends on when Mystery Inc is free, they offered to drive us, Shaggy and Scooby seemed the most excited." Jade told her.

"I love going out on adventures with Mystery Inc," Cindy giggled. "It's so much fun."

"I like to see you happy, Cindy," Jade smiled back. "Also, Scott has someone waiting for us there by the name of Millie."

"Looking forward to it, Jade." Cindy clapped.

"Sounds good." Jade nodded.

"I hope we get to see Mike's uncle again." Cindy hoped.

"I'm sure we will." Jade nodded.

"Awesome! I'll even bring my best cowgirl outfit." Cindy said.

"You have a cowgirl outfit?" Jade asked in surprise.

"Yep, hold on!" Cindy said before zipping off and coming back wearing a white button-up shirt, a cow spotted vest, brown skirt, black cowboy boots, and a tan cowboy hat.

"Aw, y'all look sweeter than a barrel of sugar with a puppy dog and kitten in the same slipper." Jade smiled.

"Um, thank you?" Cindy replied.

Jade giggled and patted Cindy on the head. "You remind me of when I told Dee Dee some of my stories about growing up in Texas."

"Did you know SpongeBob's squirrel friend?" Cindy asked. "I think her name is Sandy Cheeks."

"I think so, I can't say for sure." Jade shrugged.

"Well, I'm thrilled to be apart of this, I've seen Blazing Saddles with my brother." Cindy smiled.

"I watched that movie with Scott once, it's his favorite." Jade agreed.

"It's silly," Cindy giggled. "I love Mel Brooks."

Jade then pulled out her phone as she received a text message. "It's from Ellody... Looks like Mike and her girl are in too."

"I'm so glad Mike finally has a real girlfriend..." Cindy said in relief. "I mean all those girls wanted Mike... Especially Katie and Sadie..." she then shuddered.

"I better check on the others, you stay out of trouble and I'll see ya around." Jade told her.

"Aye-Aye, Jade," Cindy saluted the country girl. "Let's see if I got everything," she then looked in her backpack. "Yep, that's everything."


Penn snored as he fell asleep on the couch. Cindy then put his hand in a cup of warm water.

"Don't even think about it." Penn warned.

"Dang it, how does he know?" Cindy pouted.

Penn then put the cup over her head.

"I'm WET!" Cindy yelped.

"You should never mess with me." Penn laughed.


Meanwhile...

"How do I look?" Katrina asked as she was wearing a black button-up shirt, blue jeans, a red handkerchief around her neck, brown cowboy boots, a brown cowboy hat.

"My Uncle Longhorn Steer would love to be round up by you." Chicken chuckled to his girlfriend.

Katrina laughed and saw her boyfriend wearing his human disguise and wearing a red button-up shirt, blue jeans, brown cowboy boots, a white cowboy hat. "I love your outfit too." she then told him.

"Why, thank you, Senorita~" Chicken chuckled.

"Doesn't your uncle Steer live out in the West?" Katrina asked.

"Yeah, one time he tried to teach me and Cow about the world, but he wasn't very good at it, so we helped him help this cowboy get the steers in a line and he was happy," Chicken explained. "We haven't seen him since, but we get letters once in a while, I think he's happy, but I sure do miss him. He says me and Cow are his favorite niece and nephew, even though he calls me Duck."

"You might see him," Katrina shrugged. "You never know."

Lightning came in wearing a blue button-up shirt, dark blue jeans, with a belt, tan cowboy boots, and a brown cowboy hat. "Aw man, how can people walk in these sha-boots?" he then asked after he fell down.

"Could you zip my jean shorts for me, Lightning?" Ellody asked. "I'm having trouble."

"I'll help you." Katrina offered.

"Thank you, Kat." Ellody replied.

Katrina then zipped Ellody up and Ellody then came out in a black shirt with a white star on it with a silver vest, jean shorts, white boots, a white neckerchief, and a white hat.

"How do I look?" Ellody smiled shyly to the boys.

"Sha-hot!" Lightning wolf whistled. "What a hottie."

Ellody giggled sheepishly and turned beet red.

Scott came in wearing his normal everyday outfit, but he had a brown hat on. "So, everybody ready?" he then asked.

Lightning just kept staring at Ellody.

"Yeah, we're ready." Chicken told him.

Lightning chuckled nervously to his girlfriend. Ellody smirked as she put her glasses on and did a small sexy walk for Lightning. Lightning had a nose bleed from that and then fainted.

"I guess I took that too far..." Ellody pouted.

"Not to worry, watch this." Chicken said before he took out a whistle and blew into it.

"I'm up, Coach!" Lightning's eyes widened as he got back on his feet.

"There we go, now we're all set." Chicken told Ellody.

"And Cindy is all ready as well." Jade added.

"Ride 'em, cowboy!" Cindy giggled as she twirled a lasso.

"Say, where's Mike?" Jade asked.

"She should be coming any minute." Ellody said.


There was the sound of motorcycle coming that then drove by with a certain couple. Lil giggled from the ride as she hugged Mike's waist while riding on the back while Mike drove the motorcycle.

"Whoa, check it out, someone is riding a motorcycle!" Chicken pointed out.

"Who is it?" Cindy asked. "I can't tell."

Mike then parked the motorcycle and stopped, taking off her helmet and waving her hair.

"Thanks, Mike, you were right, that's better than walking." Lil smiled.

"Thank Toot, it was her idea." Mike replied.

"Wow, Mike, I dig the bike." Cindy commented.

"Thanks, Toot's letting me borrow it." Mike said as she hopped off the motorcycle with Lil.

"I like Toot, she's cool." Lil smiled to her girlfriend.

"She is awesome." Mike agreed.

"Mike, glad you could make it." Cindy said to the tomboy.

"Glad to see you here too, Cindy." Mike nodded.

"It's been getting quite boring around here." Cindy commented.

"That's Cindy, right?" Lil asked.

"Yeah, she's a pretty cool kid sometimes." Mike told her girlfriend.

"Oh, well, hi, Cindy, I hope we can be friends." Lil smiled.

"Me too, I heard a lot about you," Cindy smiled back. "I'm glad you can make Mike happy."

Lil giggled and smiled. "So, uh, how are we getting to this Dude Ranch?"

"The Mystery Machine should be here soon." Jade told her.

"I never went anywhere with Mystery Inc before, is it fun?" Lil asked.

"The best," Mike smiled. "I went on four adventures with them."

"You do know at least who they are, right?" Ellody asked.

"You kidding?" Lil laughed. "Who doesn't know Mystery Inc? Mom loves Daphne's Coast to Coast show."

"You know my friend Brianna Smith?" Mike asked.

"Yeah, she's been with Mystery Inc ever since they were kids." Lil replied.

"And now they have a new member, my other friend: Trent McCord." Mike then said.

"Oh, yeah, didn't he date Gwen Fahlenbock?" Lil asked.

"Yeah, they did, but there was a incident; Heather Wong kissed him right in front of her and on Total Drama Action, he was throwing challeges for her, plus he had an obsession with the number nine because his grandfather died." Mike explained.

"Wow." Lil blinked.

"There's a lot more, but we're gonna be here all day." Mike chuckled.

"Here comes the Mystery Machine." Cindy pointed out.


Shaggy wore a cowboy hat as he was quite excited about going to the Dude Ranch. Brianna wore a red T-Shirt, a black vest, blue jeans, brown boots, and black cowboy hat, and Trent wore a green button-up shirt, a black neckerchief, brown vest, blue jeans and black cowboy boots.

"Hey, guys, ready to go?" Brianna asked.

"Wait for me!" Lisa came over, wearing her usual outfit, but wore more make-up than usual before smirking to her best friend's boyfriend. "Scott, wanna sit on my lap?~"

"Um... Um... Um... I'm gonna sit next to Jade, okay?" Scott replied nervously before getting into the van real quickly.

"Okay." Lisa pouted as she joined the others into the van.

"Nice ride, Mike." Daphne told the tomboy.

"Thanks, my friend Toot let me borrow it," Mike smirked. "Oh, this is my girlfriend, Lil DeVille." she then introduced.

"Hello." Lil greeted.

"Oh, hi, Lil, it's nice to meet you." Daphne smiled.

"Likewise," Lil smiled back as she shook hands with Daphne. "I heard about you guys on TV."

"Well, thanks," Fred smiled himself. "It's always nice to meet a fan."

Lisa then tried to scoot closer to Scott. Scott looked nervous while Jade looked out the window.

"Hop on, Lil, I'll take us there and we'll follow the Mystery Machine." Mike said as she sat on her motorcycle.

"Keep up, Mike." Fred told Mike.

"Take me with you, please!" Scott begged.

"Sorry, Scott, this can only fit two people." Mike explained.

Scott gulped nervously. Fred then started the Mystery Machine and Mike drove after as Lil held her waist.

"YEE-HAW!" Lil called out.
