After the talk, everyone was now dressing up for the circus.

"I feel uncomfortable." Cindy said as she looked down as she wore a purple leotard with tights and ballet flats.

"How do you think I feel?" Velma groaned as she wore a helmet with goggles in a blue leotard with white stars and a white fluffy skirt with orange and red fringe with orange tights, and red flats.

"Reg, come on out." Otto told his sister.

"You too, Sky." Jo added.

"We're not coming out!" Jo replied.

"We look ridiculous!" Otto added.

"Come on, we're all wearing the same thing!" Sky replied.

"That's the problem!" Jo complained.

"Yeah, you guys go on without us." Reggie added.

"Reg, don't you remember that you wore a skirt before when you tried out ice-skating while Cilo played hockey with us?" Otto reminded.

"Oh, yeah," Reggie scoffed. "The worst time of my life!"

"I'll bet that you look really pretty." Lil replied.

"Don't you dare call me that word, Twin #2." Jo huffed.

"Guys, come on, just get it over with!" Mike told Jo and Reggie. "I promise, out of everyone, I won't laugh."

"Fine, but if I hear a chuckle, I'm ripping out your innards and using them for Halloween decorations." Jo threatened.

"Just come on out." Mike told them.

"Fine." Reggie groaned.

The two tomboys then both came out of their hiding places to reveal themselves. Everyone then looked to see how Jo and Reggie looked. Reggie came out in a pink tutu top with light pink tights and white slippers which looked a lot like her ice-skating outfit when she ice-skated with Twister's cousin.

"Nice threads." Sky commented.

Reggie groaned in response.

"Okay, Jo, your turn." Mike said.

"Fine, fine..." Jo grumbled.

"We won't laugh." Mike promised.

"You better not, or else." Jo warned.

Everyone then saw the jockette as she then came out of her hiding place next. Everyone looked to see Jo in an outfit like Reggie's, but it was dark blue, almost indigo, and she had light purple tights like Cindy and had black slippers.

Otto snickered at first, but then laughed out loud at Reggie and Jo. "You guys look ridiculous!"

Jo growled as she was then about to pounce on Otto and make him pay for laughing.

"No, let me handle this." Reggie told Jo.

Otto kept on laughing until his sister grabbed him by the tights which made him yelp.

"Hello..." Reggie glared down to Otto.

"Hey, Reg..." Otto squeaked slightly. "Could ya loosen your grip?!"

"Why?" Reggie asked.

"Because it's hurting me." Otto groaned.

"It's better than what Jo would do to you." Reggie told her brother.

"You got the strength of a werewolf." Otto replied to his sister.

"Maybe she's the werewolf that's causing all of this mayhem." Twister guessed.

"Shut up, Twister." Reggie muttered.

"Now, Reggie..." Arnold warned.

"Never mind all of that now, I need to know, do any of you have circus skills?" Marius asked his guests.

"Phil and I were in a circus before." Lil told the others.

"I was better than you." Phil smirked.

"You guys were in a circus?" Mike asked, stopping the DeVille twins from having one of their infamous arguments.

"I didn't tell you about that?" Lil asked back.

"No, you didn't." Mike replied.

"When did this happen?" Sky asked Phil and Lil about them being in a circus.

"Well, Tommy wanted to get away from Dil, so our parents sent me, Phil, Chuckie, Kimi, and Tommy to a circus camp at the fabulous Cirque de Extravaganza." Lil explained.

"Ah, I see..." Mike replied.

"I was awesome." Lil smirked.

"Nuh-uh, I was!" Phil glared.

"Does this happen a lot?" Marius asked about the DeVille twins arguing.

"From what I hear, since birth." Mike nodded.

"Tell me, at this circus camp, what have you two done?" Marius asked.

"Trapeze artists." Phil replied.

"I took up Circus Arts class last summer." Fred eagerly raised his hand.

"Why am I not surprised?" Marius deadpanned. "And what did you learn?"

"I worked on the trapeze a little bit, but I ended up with some broken bones." Fred replied.

"You seemed to have healed well." Marius commented.

"What?" Fred asked out of confusion at first until he realized what he meant. "Oh! Not my bones. I was supposed to catch this guy, and, uh, I dropped him onto someone, and they both fell onto some other people."

"That's terr-" Marius started.

"Who hit the tent support which tipped the popcorn cart which set fire to the audience risers which collapsed with 48 people sitting on them." Fred continued.

"Well, I'm sure it wasn't your fault." Marius replied.

"No, it was, but I did learn a valuable lesson about the trapeze." Fred smiled.

"Which was?" Marius prompted.

"Don't drop people, oh, and don't fall." Fred replied.

"Yes, those are kind of the basics," Marius nodded. "How would you like to be a junior assistant back-up position?"

"It would be an honor, sir!" Fred saluted in excitement.

"You are a strange fellow, but I admire your neck wear," Marius replied before he looked to the DeVille twins. "You two will be the trapeze artists."

"We'll do our best." Phil replied.

"Yeah." Lil added.

"Anyone else have any talents that might apply?" Marius asked the others.

"Well, I have skills for the Olympics if that helps." Sky suggested.

"But of course." Marius allowed.

"Bri, remember that when you and I were kids and did motorcycle acts?" Daphne asked.

"I remember that," Brianna replied. "I almost broke my ankle."

"Really?" Marius smiled. "It takes years of practice to-"

"It went like this." Daphne smiled back as she sat on a motorcycle while putting on a helmet.

"Oh, no, not again." Brianna sighed as she remembered what happened in early childhood.

Daphne grabbed Brianna and put her on the motorcycle and gave her a helmet.

"Daph, I don't know if we should do this again." Brianna told the redheaded girl nervously.

"Relax, I got this." Daphne smiled before starting the motorcycle and began to drive around the circus area.

Brianna screamed a little and as soon they were done which left everyone impressed.

"Right, that will do, anyone else?" Marius nodded before looking toward Mike and Jo. "You two could be like strongmen."

"Well, we don't mean to brag, but yeah." Mike replied.

"Show me what you've got." Marius told them.

"Got any anvils or something?" Jo asked.

"Sure, in the back." Marius gestured behind him with a nod.

"How heavy is it?" Mike asked.

"Let me go get it for you." Marius decided.

Mike and Jo soon waited until Marius would come back.


Marius struggled a little himself, but was able to carry the heavy metal and soon dropped it down in front of the tomboys. "Sorry about that," he told them. "It's very heavy."

"Can't be too heavy for me." Jo smirked as she soon reached out to lift the iron.

"It weighs about 2,000 pounds." Marius warned.

"Dang." Cindy commented.

Mike and Jo soon decided to lift the metal for themselves to show Marius just how strong they really were.

"My word, that's incredible," Marius marveled. "How in the world can you-"

"We're werewolves, remember?" Mike reminded.

"I suppose so..." Marius replied. "Though, since you are like your mother, I can trust you, as well as your cousin and soulmate."

"Thank you." Mike nodded.

Marius walked over to Cindy and Maxwell. "How would you two like to do the juggling and unicycle act?" he then asked.

"Oh, um, I'm not very good at either..." Cindy rubbed her arm nervously.

"But Cindy, didn't Penn teach you how to juggle?" Maxwell asked.

Cindy's eyes widened as she began to remember that experience.


"Look, Cindy, it's not as hard as it looks, if I can do it, anyone can," Penn told Cindy as he juggled torches lit on fire. "Why don't you give it a try with those beanbags?"

"But Penn, I can't do that," Cindy said. "I have butter fingers!"

"What's the worst that could happen?" Penn replied.

Cindy then picked up the beanbags. Penn soon took the torches in one hand and put out the fire and sat down to see what she could do.'

Cindy then tossed up the beanbags in the air and tried to catch them and juggle them, instead she accidentally hit Penn in the face with them. "Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God," she then instantly panicked. "I'm so sorry, Penn!"

"No harm done... Maybe you need more focus... Try these eggs..." Penn took out a carton of eggs.

Cindy tried again only for the eggs to splat all over him.

"Cindy, I want you to run." Penn said.

"And find other things to juggle?" Cindy asked.

"No..." Penn said calmly at first before glaring. "I want you to RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!"

Cindy yelped and ran as Penn chased her.

"I'll juggle YOU!" Penn glared.


"Worst experience of my life." Cindy shuddered from the memory.

"Don't worry, I got this." Maxwell comforted.

"We need someone for the comedy act," Marius said before looking to Otto, Twister, and Sam. "How's about you three?"

Cindy and Maxwell snickered to that.

"Sure, Maya Santos says I'm really funny." Otto smiled.

"Yeah, funny looking." Twister smiled back simply.

"Get back here!" Otto growls and chased after his best friend. "I'll show you funny looking!"

"Whoops, I gotta exit stage left!" Twister said as he ran away from Otto.

"I'm not sure if I'm really funny or not..." Sam shrugged. "When have I ever made anyone laugh at me?"

"Well..." Reggie spoke up.

"Intentionally!" Sam told her.

"I'm sure that you will find a way, young man," Marius replied before looking to Arnold. "You love animals, right?"

"Yeah." Arnold nodded.

"How would you like to be a lion tamer?" Marius suggested.

"Sounds pretty good to me," Arnold smiled. "I once rescued a tortoise with my grandmother and sent him back into the ocean."

"Our last lion tamer ran away because he couldn't handle the lion," Marius told Arnold. "I was hoping that you could handle him, I'd hate to put him down."

"I'm sure I can handle him," Arnold replied. "Where is the big guy anyway?"

"Outside in his cage, but I can-" Marius explained until he then noticed the football-headed boy was suddenly gone. "Uh, where did he go?"


"Here, lion, lion, lion..." Arnold called gently. "Here, lion!"

The lion was sleeping and heard a noise he woke up and roared at the intruder.

"Take it easy, I won't hurt ya." Arnold soothed the lion.

The lion still growled at him.

"Shh, it's okay, I'm not gonna hurt you." Arnold promised as he held out his hand to the lion.

The lion growled softly then.

"Are you okay?" Arnold asked. "What's wrong?"

The lion whimpered and held out his paw to show that there was a thorn inside of it.

"Oh, you poor thing," Arnold coaxed. "Let me get that out for ya... That is, if you'll let me."

The lion whimpered and flinched at first. Arnold took out the thorn and smiled. The lion yelped and soon looked to see the thorn out before smiling back and hugged the football-headed boy with glee.

"How would you like me to be your tamer?" Arnold asked.

The lion nodded and licked his face.

Arnold laughed. "Okay, okay, I'll be your tamer, but try not to hurt anyone, okay?"

The lion nodded like he could understand Arnold.


"Where did that boy run off to?" Marius wondered before shrugging and looking to Reggie and Sky. "Probably meeting with the lion... Oh, well, now then, as I was saying... You two can be my acrobats."

"If you say so." Sky shrugged with a smile.

"Theresa Wolfe was quite the acrobatic herself," Marius smiled back. "I knew that she would be able to make it into the Olympics."

"I'm not too much of an athlete, but I'll try my best." Reggie told the ringmaster.

"Good, try, that's the most important and key part," Marius nodded before he turned to Trent. "And you, young man, will be the plate spinner."

"Uh, plate spinner?" Trent blinked.

"Surely you can pull it off." Marius insisted.

"Sorry, I'm a music man, not a plate man." Trent disagreed.

"Hmm... Can you fight?" Marius suggested.

"Well, yeah, but-" Trent was about to say.

"Great, you'll be in stage combat." Marius nodded before walking toward Shaggy and Scooby.

Trent shrugged. "I guess it's better than nothing."

"I usually keep animal acts out of my circus, but you'll be an exception," Marius said to Shaggy and Scooby. "Your friend looks very well trained."

"Oh, he is," Scooby smiled as he held out his paw to Shaggy. "Shake!"

Shaggy grinned and shook his hand with Scooby's paw.

"Beg." Scooby smiled as he took out a box of Scooby Snax.

"Like, please, please, please!" Shaggy begged.

Scooby fed him a Scooby Snack and rubbed his head. "Good boy."

"Just for the sake of tradition, maybe you should do the tricks." Marius suggested.

"That's probably a good idea." Shaggy agreed.

"Probably?" Maxwell deadpanned.

"'Cuz Scooby does more circusy stuff than me anyway," Shaggy smiled. "Go on, Scoob, show him!"

Scooby balanced on the ball while juggling and plate spinning without dropping it, he even did a backflip and his plates and cheeseburger landed in his paw. "Ta-da!"

"You taught him all of this?" Marius asked Shaggy.

"He tried, but he just can't get it." Shaggy replied.

"Good boy." Scooby smiled and patted Shaggy on the head again.

"And..." Marius then said before looking around for Velma as she hid away and he came toward her. "Hello?"

"Hi." Velma smiled shyly.

"If you're with your friends, I could put you on the churro cart." Marius offered.

"No, no, no, I can't do it." Velma trembled.

"Do what?" Marius asked.

"Do anything." Velma replied.

"There are still a few acts I could use..." Marius pondered.

"Hey, Velma, how about knife throwing target?" Cindy suggested. "Uncle Penn does it all the time! Luckily for me, he hasn't tried it out on me yet."

"No." Velma winced.

"Sword swallowing?" Marius suggested.

"No." Velma's eyes widened.

"Oh! I know, fire eating!" Cindy yelped.

"No!" Velma told her and Marius.

"Hmm... The only thing left is the Human Comet." Marius replied.

"That doesn't sound so bad." Velma shrugged.

"You'll be shot out of a cannon." Marius told her.

"Can we get back to the knife throwing?" Velma groaned then.

Everyone soon came out of the tent once they were all set.

"I have to get everyone prepared," Marius told his guests. "Meet me back here in the morning."

"Check," Shaggy smiled. "What time?"

"5:00." Marius replied as he left.

"5:00 in the morning?" Cindy groaned.

"There is no 5:00 in the morning!" Otto laughed as he thought that that was a joke.

Everyone left to get some sleep for tomorrow.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Sam moaned.

Everyone soon left to sleep.

"Ah, on the bright side, no Penn..." Cindy smiled. "Now I can sleep in peace for the first time in... Ever!"

Of course they all shared a room each. Fred, Trent, Shaggy, and Scooby in one room, Daphne, Velma, and Brianna in another, Sky, Reggie and Cindy in a room, Mike and Lil in another, Otto, Twister, and Sam in another, Phil, Maxwell, and Arnold in another and Jo wanted the room by herself for some reason. In Sky, Reggie and Cindy's room, Reggie pulled out a bottle that Drell gave her right after the tournament.


Flashback

"Excuse me, Rocket?" Drell called.

"Yes, sir?" Reggie replied.

"This will let you change back into a werewolf form, but only use it for emergencies." Drell told Reggie as he handed her a bottle which had a potion inside of it.

"Thank you, sir, I will." Reggie promised.

End of Flashback


Reggie sighed as she took a deep breath. "I might as well use this, I mean, we could need Werewolf Reg."

"You say something, Reggie?" Sky asked.

"Oh, I was just wondering about the werewolves." Reggie replied.

"Can't say I blame you," Sky replied. "I really hope they get stopped soon."

"I hope that I don't get bitten." Cindy hoped.

"Don't worry, Cindy, we'll protect you." Sky soothed as she patted the younger girl on the head.

"Come on, everyone, we have a big day tomorrow, we might as well get some sleep." Arnold told the others.

"You want a soapbox, Arnold?" Otto scoffed. "I can't hear you."

Jo slapped Otto upside the head.

"Ow!" Otto glared in pain.

"You sure that you don't wanna come and share a room with me and Lil?" Mike asked Jo.

"I'm sure," Jo replied. "I need to do something anyway."

"What?" Otto scoffed. "Making out with a picture of your girlfriend?"

Jo ignored him and walked off.

"I know I'm right." Otto smirked smugly.

"Can't you lay off?" Reggie glared at her brother.

"What?" Otto replied. "I'm only joking."

"Do you ever stop talking?" Cindy complained about Otto. "I don't like this attitude."

"Big deal," Otto replied. "Can you even be less annoying?"

"At least Eddy is more nice than you are." Cindy retorted.

"Excuse me?!" Otto glared.

"Well, it's true!" Cindy glared back. "I'm not sure what Mike even saw in you when she came back to Nicktropolis just to be with you!"

"Cindy, not now." Mike warned.

"Eddy can be greedy sometimes, but at least he's nice." Cindy told Otto.

"That's it, you're dead!" Otto glared only for Twister and Sam to get a hold of him. "Let me go, she's dead!"

"Mike, could you give me my water bottle?" Cindy asked. "I'm thirsty."

Mike nodded and gave it to her.

"Ah, thanks." Cindy smiled before she took the bottle and drank from it from her new bed.

"Otto, calm down!" Sam cried out.

"No, I want to handle her!" Otto sneered. "If I was a werewolf, I would rip you in half!"

Cindy just glared and rolled her eyes before she went back to drinking from her bottle to help her fall asleep.

"Just give me five minutes with this annoying coward!" Otto demanded.

Arnold pinched his nerve to make him fall asleep.

"What was that?" Sam asked.

"Just a nerve pinch," Arnold told him. "He'll be fine in the morning."

Sam then backed away from Arnold nervously as he didn't want to be the victim in the next time. Then everyone went to bed for tomorrow. Unknowing that someone was watching them.
