The next morning, at the hospital, everyone was waiting to pick up Luna. As Thorn stood there, she decided to speak to her father.
"Daddy, about that whole deal with Krueger. I just wanted to say that...I know that you just wanted to protect me. And that I forgive you." she said.
Mr. McKnight was pretty caught off guard.
"I'm sorry I never told you, Sally. I just didn't want you to have to remember those nightmares." he said.
"It's okay, Daddy." Thorn said. "I love you."
She drew Mr. McKnight in for a hug, and he returned the gesture.
"I love you too, sweetheart." he said.
"Look who's back?" Fred said.
Walking out of her room, came Luna. She looked slightly scarred, but healthy. She put on a huge grin as she hugged her friends.
"I'm so glad you're okay." Thorn said.
"Yeah. So, how'd you guys do? Did you take care of the problem?" Luna asked.
"Yep. Mystery solved, and case closed." Velma said.
"Luna" Mr. Brooks said, walking towards his daughter and giving her a big hug. "Are you alright."
"Yeah. I'm fine, Dad. Thanks for coming." Luna said.
"Well, are you fine enough to perform at the festival today?" Thorn asked with a smile.
Later, at the festival, the Hex Girls performed beautifully.
If you ever lose affection
I can change your whole direction
I'm a Hex girl and I'm gonna put a spell on you
The crowd watching cheered the band on, and clapped to the beat.
Over, by the contest area, Shaggy and a bandaged Scooby-Doo prepared themselves for the big event.
They both wore their table napkins like bibs. Sitting next to them were at least 6 other people, who they knew didn't stand a chance against them.
"Like, this has got to be the best contest ever invented." Shaggy said.
"Yeah." Scooby agreed. "Bring on the food."
Back on stage, the Hex Girls finished their number.
We're gonna put a spell on all of you!
The crowd applauded the song. Thorn bowed to the crowd, before reapproaching the mic.
"Thank you." she said. "Alright, for this next song, we've decided to perform something special for you guys."
The crowd cheered again.
"Hit it, sisters." Thorn said.
Luna's fingers then began to play a familiar melody on her keyboard.
The crowd knew what the song was, and began to cheer even louder.
Over by the food stands, the announcer guy shot the fire pistol in the air, initiating the contest. Scooby and Shaggy began eating rapidly, as the sound of Thorn's guitar, and Dusk's drums entered the mix of Luna's keyboard playing.
The Hex Girls were singing a cover version of Van Halen's "Dreams".
It wasn't long before Thorn put her mouth near the mic, and began to sing:
World turns black and white
Pictures in an empty room
Your love starts fallin' down
Better change your tune
Yeah, you reach for the golden ring
Reach for the sky
Baby, just spread your wings
We'll get higher and higher
Straight up we'll climb
We'll get higher and higher
Leave it all behind
The people competing against Scooby and Shaggy never even had a chance. They smoked everyone with every dish.
Run, run, run away
Like a train runnin' off the track
Got the truth bein' left behind
Falls between the cracks
Standin' on broken dreams
Never losin' sight, ah
Well just spread your wings
We'll get higher and higher
Straight up we'll climb
We'll get higher and higher
Leave it all behind
So baby dry your eyes
Save all the tears you've cried
Oh, that's what dreams are made of
'Cause we belong in a world that must be strong
Oh, that's what dreams are made of
In the crowd, Mr. McKnight, and Mr. Brooks watched as their daughters performed.
Fred, Daphne, and Velma cheered on Shaggy and Scooby as they continued to dominate at the eating contest.
Yeah, we'll get higher and higher
Straight up we'll climb
Higher and higher
Leave it all behind
Oh, we'll get higher and higher
Who knows what we'll find?
So baby dry your eyes
Save all the tears you've cried
Oh, that's what dreams are made of
Oh baby, we belong in a world that must be strong
Oh, that's what dreams are made of
After the final dish, it was clear who the winners were. The announcer guy decided to end the contest.
"That's it! That's it!" he announced. "The winners of the eating contest are Shaggy Rogers, and Scooby-Doo!"
Daphne, Fred, and Velma applauded their friends.
"Like, it was no big deal." Shaggy said, without any attempt at modesty.
The announcer man then brought Scooby and Shaggy, their blue ribbons, stating that they won the contest.
And in the end on dreams we will depend
'Cause that's what love is made of.
"Scooby-Dooby-Doo!" Scooby said triumphantly.
Looking towards us, he reached down, and came back up, wearing Krueger's glove, and flipped on the fedora as well before slashing at us.
A subtle chuckle of Freddy Krueger was heard.
THE END
