- No more, mom. - Come on, come on.

I mean, that is like

your third memory card.

Sorry. It's just

that I remember my prom.

So much joy, so much passion.

The best night of our lives,

remember, dear?

You didn't go with me!

Oh. Right.

[horn honking]

Okay, I'm late.

Now I gotta go!

screech

- Thanks for coming - with me, Randy.

Can I make a little confession?

This isn't my first prom.

Wh-what do you mean?

Were you held back?

No. At my other schools

I went to prom

with other boys.

L-look, I just wanna

party hardy

- get my swerve on, - you know.

I just want you to know

that I think you're the one.

Are you, Randy?

Are you the one?

What?

Be my boyfriend, Randy.

Forever and ever and ever!

Suck on that, suckers.

'Don't forget

'is our annual Van-Ghoulathon.'

'405 Vincent Van Ghoul classics'

'without commercials.'

Oh, boy, oh, boy, Scoob!

Like, this year's

Van-Ghoulathon sounds great!

Yeah!

Just eating and Van Ghoul,

eating and Van Ghoul.

(in unison)

'For a whole week, yippee!'

Yeah, yippee.

Ah, like, hey, Scoob.

All this marathon talk

is getting me kinda hungry.

Mm-hmm, I'm on it.

Scooby-Dooby-Doo!

[laughing]

Like, what gives, Velm?

You love the marathon.

That was last year.

This year, the marathon falls

on our one month anniversary

and the prom.

Fortunately, I think

I have the perfect solution.

Gulp. Like,

am I going to like it?

We'll have our official coming

out as a couple at the prom.

Then celebrate

by watching the marathon.

Alone. Just us.

Oh, boy.

[bell ringing]

[indistinct chatter]

Gee, look at that.

I guess prom is coming up.

Any plans?

- I'll probably do the same - thing I do every year.

Monitor my police scanner

and patrol the sewers.

- You gonna go? - I don't know.

I guess if someone asks me.

- Gotcha. Well, - good luck with that!

Huh?

[Daphne sighing]

- (Alice) - 'Oh, buttercups.'

'Come on, open.'

Let me try. These are

series S geyser tumblers.

Sometimes they stick.

Wow! That's amazing.

(Alice)

'Thank you so much.'

My name's Alice.

Alice May. I'm new.

Fred Jones. And this is, uh...

New, huh? Well, good luck.

Come on, Fred, let's go.

- You know, this school - can be like a maze.

I've actually made several

models of it in my spare time

to chart my class route.

Oh, how sweet!

Thanks, Fred.

Wow, I think I'm going

to like it here.

[gasps]

[groaning]

[indistinct chatter]

Just a few nights away.

- Don't forget to call - the limo guy.

Yeah! You got it, Velm.

Ha ha.

Oh, like, help.

Where's Fred?

He said he would be here.

Oh, no, he didn't!

Hey, gang. This is Alice.

She's new. I've been

kind of showing her around.

Fred's like my White Knight.

- What a sweetie. - 'And now'

if you could all quiet down

Sheriff Stone has a few words.

- Sheriff? - Thank you, mayor.

Thank you, thank you. Prom!

[microphone screeching]

enjoyable evening.

Yes. Obviously, we want a safe,

As some of you might be aware

- there have been several - recent reports

of a phantom limousine

with a ghost girl inside

stealing young men away

into the night.

'It probably is part of some

arcane ritual.'

- Because of this, - we are advising all students

- not to get into - phantom limousines

on prom night

if at all possible.

That's all I've got.

Jinkies.

Talk about a bad date.

I'll say. Gang, I think we've

got a new mystery on our hands.

Well, I'd better get going.

Still a lot of unpacking

to do at my house.

- Need a lift? - That's okay.

I like walking.

- It was nice meeting - all of you.

- Bye.

- Bye, see you.

Hey, Daph, are you comin'?

I'm going to walk, too.

Besides, I want to do some more

research on those kids

- who disappeared - in the Crystal Cove caves.

The ones Mr. E warned us about.

I hate going

home... clueless!

Hmph!

[dramatic music]

rustle

Hmm.

'Hmm?'

Weird. It's like someone has

erased everything

about the missing kids.

[instrumental music]

Who doesn't want you found?

Huh?

Hello?

Someone there?

I'm still working.

Hello?

Maybe it's just

[screaming]

Daphne, it's just me.

I.. What are you

doing in here?

I was using the showers.

- They haven't turned the water on - at my house yet.

I didn't think anyone

was still at school.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean

to scare you.

No, I'm sorry.

I thought I was alone, too.

- You must think - I'm pretty silly.

What's silly about

being scared?

- Well, it's getting late. - I should be going home.

- Coming?

- No, thanks.

- Still got some - cleaning up to do.

[dramatic music]

I'm telling you,

she's up to something.

Come on, Daph.

So Alice was using the shower

- and hanging out in the school - basement late at night.

Huh, haven't we all?

- What if Alice - is the ghost girl

the sheriff mentioned?

You could be in danger, Fred.

Don't you think I'd know

if she were a ghost girl?

I'd be willing to bet no.

Yeah, me, too!

Like, what do we really

know about Alice?

Besides the fact

that she's super nice

- and her hair - smells like peaches

and sometimes I get lost

in her eyes, and...

Fred Jones!

Do you like this girl?

Wow, look at the time.

You're not wearing

a watch, Freddy.

Oh. Well, I better

go find one, then.

(Angel)

take a look at this.'

'You guys should

That boy your ghost girl grabbed

a couple of towns over?

Baby, he wasn't the first.

- These attacks go back - to the turn of the century.

Looks like your ghost girl's

building herself a man posse.

Zoinks! Like, what if Fred's

her latest possum?

Not on my watch.

(Velma)

Alice May's address again?'

'Exactly how did you get

I found it in her locker.

- I noticed the combination - while Fred was helping her.

Lucky, huh?

vroom

Like, tell me she moved.

Well, what about Freddy?

I left him a message.

'Every minute we wait,

he could be in danger.'

creak

We should split up,

cover more ground.

I don't think that's such a...

I'll go with Scooby.

Velma, you go with Shaggy.

Sounds good to me.

[hooting]

So how's it going

with the prom tickets?

Prom tickets, ha ha.

Like, yeah. Um, I gotta do that.

What about the limo?

And my corsage.

Your tux?

- Do you not wanna go - to the prom with me?

- If you don't want to go, - just tell me.

I'll understand.

Oh, ha ha.

What a relief!

Because I don't...

What? Why?

I don't believe this!

I knew it, I knew it,

I knew it!

Velma, stop breaking

the cemetery!

I was just kidding!

Of course I wanna go.

You do?

- Oh! - Shaggy!

We're going to have such

a wonderful evening!

[eerie music]

- Keep your eyes peeled - for anything suspicious, Scooby.

Okay.

crash

- Did you hear something?

- Uh-uh.

He he he.

That time I heard it. Oh-oh.

[gasps]

[screaming]

[screaming]

- That scream sounded like - Scooby-Doo!

And Daphne! Come on.

Daphne, what..

Why did you scream?

- (Daphne) - 'That's why!'

In there!

[groaning]

Like, if that was Alice May

she needs some

serious moisturizer!

Where are we?

- '"Carlswell."'

- 'Carlswell?'

- That's the Creeper!

- The Creeper?

(Velma)

alias The Creeper.

Deacon Carlswell,

I remember him.

'He was robbing banks

disguised as a phantom.'

But in reality he was actually

the bank manager.

Hold on. Isn't Carlswell

still in jail... alive?

[grunting]

Hmm?

- This is part of the Creeper's - old costume.

And look at this

a transfer slip

from Crystal Cove High.

knock knock

Zoinks! She's back!

knock knock

We are doomed!

- Hey, gang. - What are you doing in here?

- (in unison) - Fred!

Wow. This is a neat mausoleum.

Fred! You're safe!

I'm not sure how to say this

but Alice May is a ghost.

She wants to put you

in her... man posse!

What are you talkin' about?

Gang, tell him!

Why aren't you saying anything?

Um, like, it's hard to say

who attacked us.

It could have been Alice May's

really sundried

great grandmother.

Velma, Scooby?

I'm sorry, Daph,

I'm just not sure.

Me, neither!

I think, I know

what this is about.

You do?

You found out Alice

has asked me to the prom

and you think it's going

to affect our friendship.

You... you're going

to the prom... with Alice?

[groaning]

[upbeat music]

whoosh

whoosh

[sobbing]

This was supposed to be the

greatest night of our lives.

Hey, baby sis.

Something got you down?

Hey, Delilah.

It's okay, I'm fine.

No, no, I can tell.

- Same way I can tell - when I look into the eyes

of the enemy and see

their cold, gray heart.

No, it's either me or them.

Uh, okay.

Ah, boy trouble.

- I've been - fear's bunkmate before.

Let me tell you a story.

There was a beach.

Enemy dug in along the shore.

They picked us up one by one

but I knew I had to

get my men through, understand?

No.

- Alright, - here's another story...

Delilah, really, don't worry.

I'm gonna figure this out.

I hear ya.

Call if you need me.

Hoo-ah!

Wait a second.

- Was she trying to tell me - that Alice May

- is the enemy and that Fred is - pinned down on the beach

- and that I can't give up - until he's safe?

- Or is Fred the beach, - and I'm the one pinned down?

Or are we both the beach?

It doesn't matter.

Because I understand!

I think.

[sniffing]

Fred, Fred!

Daphne! What are you...

- You can't go to the prom - with Alice May.

- It's too late. - I've already plotted our route.

Listen to me. I've dreamt

of this night my whole life.

And every time I've had

that dream, you're in it.

vroom

- (Alice) - 'Fred! All set?'

- Um.. - Please, Fred,

This is your last chance.

Ah, what the heck.

- Going to the prom with - a friend will be more fun

than a date

anyway, right?

Eh, I'll take what I can get.

Hmm! Hmm.

- Hey, Alice. - I hope you don't mind

- but I can't go - to the prom with you.

It's nothing personal,

but Daphne and I...

Okay, then.

Thanks for understanding.

Oh, I understand.

And you will, too.

Soon enough.

'Time to slice up

squeal

Ha ha ha, this is great!

Hey, what's wrong?

Not hungry?

Gee, not right now,

Scoob. Ah!

What am I saying? I'm starved.

Oh, look, we're out of sardines.

- I'll just run to the store - and get some!

Huh?

Huh.

Huh!

Raggy, wait!

Shaggy, is that you?

Yep! Let's go!

I'm in my pants.

Whoa!

vroom

Huh?

Oh, no, there's the ghost girl!

She's got Raggy!

Raggy!

Jinkies. There's no parking.

Driver, try around back.

Shag..

Raggy!

[mellow music]

Hey, Daph,

what's with your face?

You okay? You look like

you're gonna hork.

This is exactly like my dream.

Us, dancing.

Then after, we take a walk

in the moonlight

and you whisper in my ear..

Scooby!

Yeah... what? No!

- Hey.

- Danger! Ghost girl!

Ghost girl?

[all gasping]

I hope you saved

a dance for me

Fred!

[screaming]

[laughing]

- (Fred) - 'Let's get out of here!'

[screaming]

Like, wow. Hmph!

- I didn't know - this year's prom theme

was terror and pandemonium.

What's going on?

- Somebody's mom is trying - to kill Fred.

Yeah, thanks, mystery geeks

for wrecking our prom!

Shaggy, you're alright!

What are you wearing?

- Like, um..

- 'Ahh!'

Explain later! Run!

[groaning]

Like, they're all locked!

Hold on. I got an idea.

Hey, isn't that

Alice's locker?

Yep. And this is the key

to the basement.

[groaning]

Phew, she's gone.

(Velma)

look at this.'

'Hey, you guys,

That's the same backpack

from the Carlswell crypt.

Those are Alice's clothes.

Along with Carlswell's

Creeper costume.

Like, man, I don't get it.

Why would a ghost girl

need to change clothes?

She wouldn't.

Unless she's not a real ghost.

Gang, I think we're getting

close to solving this mystery.

Only one thing left to do.

[groaning]

[growling]

What is this?

- (Fred) - 'What you wanted.'

Me, one last dance.

I'll destroy you all!

[screaming]

Now!

[groaning]

[all grunting]

Let me go!

Hazy-fantazy, Fred.

Didn't you hear me when I said,

if you see a ghost girl

do not go to the prom with her.

Don't worry, dad.

She may look like a ghost girl

but in reality she's..

'Alice May.

Or she's also known as..'

(in unison)

Alice Carlswell.

Carlswell? As in

Deacon Carlswell?

The Creeper?

That's right.

He was my father.

(Alice)

I vowed revenge

When daddy was imprisoned,

on those who put him there.

I used his old costume

to construct my own.

- When I found the legend - of the ghost girl online

I was ready to spring my trap.

I grabbed that fool Randy

to throw you all off the track.

- And I kept him hidden and fed - in my father's crypt

until I could let him go.

- After that, it was just a - matter of getting rid of

your precious leader, Fred.

I wanted to destroy your gang

the way you destroyed my father.

and I would have succeeded, too

if it weren't for you meddling..

Schoolmates... of mine.

vroom

[siren blaring]

Ah, Scooby-Doo,

you gotta believe me.

I wanted to watch the marathon

with you, but, like..

Uh-uh. Don't touch me.

Remind me again why anyone

would want to go to the prom.

Gee, I don't know.

It wasn't all bad.

Right, Fred?

- Are you kidding? - It was awesome!

- Really? - Yeah!

I mean, I came up

with that trap on the fly.

Did you see how well it worked?

Oh, no. The sheriff

forgot to take Alice's

'backpack for evidence.'

Sheriff!

This is one of the old

Crystal Cove yearbooks.

Hey, look.

There's a page marked.

(Daphne)

who disappeared.'

'It's them, the kids

[instrumental music]

Check out the caption.

'"Brad Chiles, Ricky Owens,

Cassidy Williams'

'"Judy Reeves, and mascot

Professor Pericles'

'"Crystal Cove High's

mystery solvers club.'

'"Mystery incorporated."'

Wow. I like that name.

Like, these kids were

just like us.

Question is,

why did they disappear?

Took you long enough.

Is it taken care of?

They bought the story.

- It'll be a couple of days - before they realize

- Deacon Carlswell - never had a daughter.

By then, you'll be long gone.

And the yearbook?

In the backpack,

just like you said.

- Someone went to a lot of trouble - to hide that yearbook

- before I found it - in the basement.

- You ever going to tell me - why you cooked up this

whole Alice May scheme?

- Just so I could then - hand it over

- to a bunch - of kids and their dog?

You were paid for a job

by my employer Mr. E.

And that job is over.

You don't need to know

his motives.

Let's just say he needed them

to start looking into

the real mystery hiding

beneath Crystal Cove.

A mystery that led to the

disappearance of four youths.

A mystery whose time

has come to be solved.
