*sniffle* hello, dear readers… I'm a little hesitant in writing this next chapter, because… *weep* IT'S THE LAST CHAPTER! *bursts out crying*

*pauses* Ah, well. We had a good run.

Reviewer Thanks For Reading!

Hipturtle15: Thanks ^-^

Dr. Fan-mai-lover: It's not quite the end (yet), and I'm glad you enjoyed all the Speed Buggy references. I'll be sure to write a Green Lantern/Scooby-Doo crossover, though it may be a while, and I'll need some inspiration (note to self: see movie later)

Looneytunecrazy: Well, SOMEONE had to tell Alexandra off sooner or later, lol. Glad you liked the Funky Phantom ref. …I couldn't help but throw in a bit of FredxDaphne, though (referring to the Pup series) they still have a loooong way to go, lol. Glad you liked this story so much, and the mystery is: will their new friendship last? (I believe we all know the answer to that) ;) Glad you liked the last chapter too (sadly, though, I didn't catch the Johnny Quest cameo in the new series) and here's some Scooby-snacks for your guessing! ^-^

Lady Nightwisp: Thank you ^-^

Blackmoondragon1415: Thanks, and double thanks for the fire extinguisher. Glad you liked it (and I agree- it WAS the best kind of revenge, wasn't it?) …I feel your sadness.

Disclaimer: The story is ending, and to add insult to injury, I don't own Scooby-Doo. (I love writing fics about him, though! =D)

It was the last day of school, and all the kids were slowly walking down the block, hesitant to 'split up' this time. "So… what are you guys going to do this summer?" Freddy asked.

"My parents and I are taking a Caribbean cruise for the next three weeks, then it's a trip to Rome," Daphne replied, and as fun as the trip sounded, there was a hint of sorrow in her voice.

"Scoob and I are probably just going to lounge around the treehouse, have a little siesta and relax," Shaggy said, giving a solemn shrug.

"I'm planning on going to a comic-book convention," Freddy said, lightly kicking a stone. "May not be as fun as the last two weeks, but hey."

"I told some of my friends back in my old hometown that I'd go visit them for a couple of weeks." Velma said, though seeing her old friends compared nothing to being with her new ones. "They heard about our story on the news, and want full details. …I wish you guys could meet them."

"If they're anything like you, we'd love to meet them, too." Daphne said.

They passed by Monroe's pet-store, where the mystery that brought them together began in the first place, and saw Mr. O'Rally standing out front, cleaning a window. He was wearing more casual clothes now, rather than his usual business suit and sunglasses, and he smiled at the kids as they passed by. "Hey, there's the kids I wanted to see," he said, cheerfully.

"Mr. O'Rally? What are you doing by the pet-store?" Freddy asked.

"Well, after Monroe got arrested, I was finally able to purchase it, and I'm going a few renovations on it. I'm going to add on to it, and turn it into a pet-shelter rather than a store. That way, rather than feeling like merchandise, all the homeless animals that live here will actually feel at home. I'll be hiring a new staff from the Humane Society to help out,"

"That's a wonderful thing you're doing, Mr. O'Rally!" Daphne exclaimed. "Hopefully you'll be a lot friendlier than Monroe,"

"Monroe was a greedy fool. I only open shops to make sure animals get a good home, and eventually I decided to make them into shelters. I'll be buying that old house's property so I can expand my business, so there'll always be room for more."

"R'aw, row sweet…" Scooby said.

"Yep, and it wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for you little meddlers, and your pup," Mr. O'Rally then pulled out a check. "Which is why, in gratitude, I've decided to reward you with this check for $100."

"Whoa! Just when I thought he couldn't get any more generous," Shaggy said, eyes wide.

"That's really nice, Mr. O'Rally, but we were just helping out Scooby." Velma said. "We couldn't possibly accept your money,"

Mr. O'Rally shrugged. "If you insist. I'm still grateful for your help, anyway." he said.

"Hey, we like to help," Freddy said, and the kids continued their way.

Down the block, they saw Missy Misterson, only something looked different about her…

She actually looked happy, and she was holding a glass bowl with a goldfish in it. "Hey, guys," she said, cheerfully. "Like my new fish?"

"Nice, Missy. You get it from O'Rally?" Velma guessed.

Missy nodded. "Yeah, and it looks just like the one I wanted when I was younger! Best of all, he decided to let my father join his business, so we don't have to break the bank to get by, anymore!" With that, she happily walked off.

"Wow, take down one bad guy, and everyone has a personality change," Shaggy said, amazed.

"I'll say. …This is the first time Missy and I encountered each other without swapping insults!" Daphne added, equally amazed.

Freddy then began to think. "You know… we DID help out a lot of people by solving a mystery," he said, rubbing his chin. "Maybe we ought to do it more often,"

Daphne shrugged. "Freddy, for once, I agree with you. I mean, if there's other crooks out there like Monroe and Christy, then there's sure to be a lot more mysteries that need to be solved,"

"I DO enjoy solving a good mystery," Velma said, grinning.

The three of them looked at Scooby and Shaggy. "Alright, alright, I'll admit it WAS a little fun capturing a couple crooks," Shaggy said, rolling his eyes. "…Except for the part about the monsters, creepy houses, being out after dark, and did I mention the monsters?"

"Reah, reah," Scooby agreed.

"Perhaps, since we all make a good team, maybe we should set up our own detective headquarters," Freddy said.

"Like, yeah! We could use the treehouse in my backyard! It has a TON of high-tech stuff- courtesy of Velma- we can use… and a bottomless fridge!" Shaggy exclaimed.

"What would we call it, though?" Daphne asked. "I mean, if we're going into the detective business, we ought to have a good name for it."

"How about… Mystery Incorporated?" Freddy suggested.

The kids looked at each other. "Nah," they all replied, shaking their heads, figuring the name would never catch on.

"Hey, I know! Since Scooby was the one who brought us together, we could name it after him!" Shaggy said.

"Yeah, we could call it the 'Scooby-Doo Detective Agency'!" Velma agreed.

"Sounds catchy enough," Daphne said.

"I still like 'Mystery Inc.' better, but that name works too." Freddy said, shrugging.

"R'oh, rou guys rake me rush!" Scooby chuckled, blushing.

"So… now what?" Shaggy asked.

"Well, we can't just put our previous plans on hold…" Daphne said, pondering. "Unless another mystery suddenly pops up."

They past by a TV-appliance store, just in time to see a news broadcast on several sets. "This just in! A monster made completely out of chocolate has robbed a jewelry store!" the anchorman was saying. "Police are baffled, an no one knows where this monster came from, or why it stole priceless diamonds, or whether it's coat is milk-chocolate, dark-chocolate, and whether-or-not it includes peanuts!"

"Well, that was convenient," Freddy said, then stuck his hand out. "Who's in?"

The rest of the gang stuck their hands in, piling them on top of each other. "No matter how tough the crime…" Daphne began.

"Or what creatures we face…" Velma added.

"Or where we may go…" Freddy added next.

"As long as we stick together…" Shaggy added next.

"We ran rolve the rystery!" Scooby finished.

The kids whooped and flung their hands into the air, then ran off to start off their summer with a new adventure.

There's a mystery in town

The gang is exploring the inside of a jewelry store at night, searching around… Scooby however, is sniffing at a trail of chocolate, licking his lips.

So call the coolest pup around

He came across a large, chocolate-coated monster, who roared at him.

That's Scooby, a pup named Scooby-Doo

(Scooby-doo-be-doo, Scooby-Doo)

Scooby screamed then shot off, crashing through a wall as he did.

Join Shaggy and the crew

Shaggy peeked around the corner, coming face-to-face with the monster, then shrieked and ran.

Daphne, Freddy, Velma too!

Daphne and Freddy were searching for clues with the monster coming up behind them… though Velma tripped it with her yo-yo, and the three of them took off while the monster was down.

And Scooby, a pup named Scooby-Doo

The gang regrouped, finding a trail of diamonds that led to a hidden door leading to a dark basement, which Scooby refused to enter.

When the ghosts and ghouls attack

Daphne held up a box labeled 'Scooby-Snacks' and tossed a couple to the pup.

Scooby needs a Scooby-Snack!

Scooby shot up like a rocket, then zipped downstairs with the gang following, where they found a mountain of diamonds.

Scooby-doo-be-doo-

"Jinkies!" Velma exclaimed, observing the diamonds… just as the Chocolate-Monster popped out of the pile!

(Scooby-doo-be, Scooby-doo-be-doo)

(Scooby-doo-be, Scooby-doo-be-Doo)

So c'mon it's mystery time

The kids started setting up a trap outside… with some help from their other meddler friends.

You can help us solve the crime

Shaggy and Scooby came running out of the store, pursued by the monster, accidentally running into the trap themselves, while the creature cornered their pals… up until the trap sprung them at the monster, and- since the creature was made of chocolate- Scooby and Shaggy ate away at the costume, revealing the culprit beneath.

With Scooby, a pup named-

The criminal was taken away, and the gang hi-fived each other.

Scooby, a pup named Scooby-Doo

(Scooby-doo-be-doo, Scooby-Doo)

Later back home, Shaggy was about to eat a cheeseburger, until Scooby popped up and ate it, earning a glare from his friend. One slurp to his pal's face and a hug later, the pup was forgiven.

Scooby-Doo, where are you?

Scooby-Doo!

THE END!
