with poop all over his face.

Scooby said, "Sorry, 'bout that!"

Rose walked out of the house and said, "Mat have you seen Mr. Coke?"

Mat said, "No."

Rose looked beyond Mat and saw the Mystery Inc. She closed her eyes and fainted.
Fred held out a pop can and said, "I don't have a Coke, but I have a Pepsi."
The Pepsi can opened its eyes and said, "Mat? Is that you, again? It has been so long!"

Mat said, "Yea, it's me. How have you been, Dr. Pepsi?"

Dr. Pepsi said, "Wonderful! An hour ago my wife had two twins!"

Mat said, "You have a wife?"

Dr. Pepsi said, "Uh, duh, her name is Mrs. Sprite."

Chapter 27 * Mat's Story

The sky turned black. A male stopped in the middle of the road. He stared up at the dark sky. Mat walked over and said, "Excuse me. Why are you in the middle of the road?"

He looked up at him and smiled. Duane said, "Mathew? I haven't seen you for like six years. It's me, Duane!"

Mat said, "Duane! It's been too long! We need to catch up. Oh, did you here about this poor little old woman that went to sleep and never woke up? It happened when you and your mom left the party. Her name was Moriah, I think."

Duane frowned and said, "Yea. Why are we talking about yesterday? I want to talk about now."

Mat said, "I don't know."

Duane whispered, "I am moving to Mars. Earth is going to end. So, my mom called my aunt and asked if she could fly down in her rocket and take me up with her. She said yea."

Mat said, "So, you're moving?"

Duane said, "Yea." He walked off...off into the dark shadows of the dark sky.
Suddenly a wet man with a gun appeared. It was Jordan Rainsford!
He said, "Well, well, well, look what the cat brought in."

Mat asked, "Jordan? How did you get out of jail?"

Jordan laughed and said, "That is quite a long story. I would tell you the whole thing, but sadly, I have some unfinished business to take care of." He pointed his gun at Mat's head.

Out of now where, Katie ran around the corner holding up a balloon, screaming, "You forgot your balloon, sir!"

Jordan yelled, "I don't want a balloon! Just leave me alone you complete moron!"
Katie stopped and said, "Fine, be that way!" She turned around and ran off crying.

An hour later Duane was sleeping. Suddenly he woke up. Out in the hall, his mom said, "Take care of him. Please, he has been through a lot."

His aunt said, "I will. I promise." His aunt walked into his room and said, "Wake up. It's time to leave. You are going to live with me and my husband on Mars."
Duane frowned and said, "I know." His aunt walked out of the room and closed the door behind her. Duane's mother walked in and he walked over to his mom. He said, "Mom... mom I can't...can't leave you!" He hugged her. Tears where rolling down his cheek.

Duane's mom whispered, "Sweetie, I will always be with you. I will always be in your heart."

Duane looked up at her and said, "I can't believe this is the end. I can't believe I will never see you again."

Duane's mom said, "I can't believe it either, but my little fifteen year old boy must leave and become a strong man." Duane rest his head on his mother's shoulder.
Ten minutes later, Duane was in the rocket heading towards his new home, Mars. He pulled out a tablet and started to write a poem.
Five hours later, Mat, Rose, Fred, Velma, Daphne, Shaggy, Scooby, and Dr. Pepsi were all looked in a room. Mat said, "The world is going to end any minute now! I can't believe we are going to die in a prison!"

Dr. Pepsi said, "Well, we aren't really in prison, we are in a locked room in Rainsford's house, which is in Austin, Texas."

Suddenly the door opened and Mat noticed that his...his...his history teacher was in front of him, holding a basket filled with three pop cans.
Dr. Pepsi said, "Hey, it's my family!"

Mat smiled and said, "And it's my history teacher, Mrs. Reed."

Mrs. Reed pulled out a machine gun and said, "Time to blow the roof off of this place!" She pulled the triger and BOOM. She really did blow the roof off of the house.
Mrs. Reed said, "My daughter, Brooke Reed, and I are hunting for zombies. Would you like to help?"

Mat said, "No. We have unfinished business to tend to. Maybe next time."
Mrs. Reed frowned and stepped on Mrs. Sprite.

Dr. Pepsi said, "You...you stepped on my...my wife!"

Mrs. Reed smiled and stepped on the other two pop cans that were in her basket. Dr. Pepsi rolled over to his wife. Mrs. Sprite said, "Darling, this is the end. It's our time to go." She closed her eyes.

Dr. Pepsi yelled, "NOOOOOO!"

Suddenly the cart rolled into the room and ran over Mrs. Reed. Shaggy ran over to her and started pulling off her red shoes. He said, "Let's take her red shoes, before your legs disappear!"

Scooby said, "Shaggy, we not in Wizard of Oz. We in Rainsturd's basement."
Mat said, "I am going to love that dog, one day."
Then he said, "Right, Dr. Pepsi?" There was no answer. Mat looked around the room and noticed that Dr. Pepsi was gone.

Rose said, "Can we stop talking and get out of here already?"

Fred said, "Yea."

One by one, they walked out of the room and into a narrow hallway. Mat saw a pile of old pictures. The first picture was Rainsford and Harry smiling. The second picture was Zaroff's house. The third picture was...was Jordan?

Mat said, "How does Rainsford know Jordan? I know they met when they fell off of the cleft, but did Jordan know Rainsford before that?"

Fred picked up a book off of a dusty table. He said, "I found Rainsford's diary."

Rose said, "That cruel man kept a diary? Diaries are for girls."

Mat said, "Also, diaries can be used to release anger or sorrow."

Fred said, "That is ture. So, Rainsford must be a girl."

Velma said, "No, Rainsford kept a diary to release his anger."

Daphne said, "No, Rainsford kept it to release his sorrow."

Shaggy said, "Guys, I think some one is standing behind me."

Scooby turned around and said, "It's only Tommy and Chuckie, from the Rugats."
Tommy said, "Yep, we know Rainsford very well, don't we, Chuckie?"

Chuckie said, "Yea, I guess."

Chapter 28 * Mat's Story

Rose opened the diary and read aloud:
"Day One- My mother, Barb, slept over at my house. We talked about my hunting career. She wasn't please. Not at all. She wanted me to quit. She said that something terrible would happen to me. I just said okay. At night, she slept on her dirty old rug that she had brought over from her house. It smelled like cigrette smoke and beer. I hate the smell of cigrette smoke, but you had to admit the smell of beer was refreshing. It kept urging me to go to the kitchen and pull out a beer and get drunk. I won't do that, at least not tonight."

Mat said, "I never knew Rainsford hated cigrette smoke. Plus, I didn't know he had a mother!"

Rose continued to read aloud:
"Day Two- That Whitney person has got onto my last nerve. He told me that animals could reason. That is the most stupidest thing I have ever heard. I think Harry and I could publish a book about out adventures. I gave him the idea. Oh, my brother stole my key and dropped it in a mysterious hole in the back yard. I was going to push my brother in the hole, but my mom would be upset. She would've said, "Yonk Rainsford, you complete idiot!" She is such a demanding person."
Mat said, "Yonk Rainsford? So, Rainsford is his last name? What does this key go to? Where is the hole in the yard? And Yonk had a brother?"

Rose continued to read aloud:
"Day Three- Without the key, I wasn't able to unlock my treaure chest. In that chest was........................."

Rose said, "That's weird. Everything else has been...been wripped out."
Mat said, "We need to get that key and open that chest!" Everyone scattered out of the door and was looking for the hole in the yard. Rose slipped and sled down a mud hill side until she fell on a pile of wood. Everyone ran to the edge of the hill and looked down at Rose.
Mat said, "A pile of wood in the middle of nowhere?" He then screamed, "Hey, mom, move the boards! I think I know where the hole is!"

Rose said, "Where is it?"

Mat sighed and said, "Under the boards."

One by one, Rose started to remove the boards. Six minutes later Rose was staring at the biggest hole she had ever seen.
Mat yelled, "Mom, can you see the key?"

Rose bent over the edge of the hole and looked into the darkness of the hole. Suddenly there was a loud noise. Mat turned around and was staring at something big. Mat said, "Mom, if I were you, I would look a little faster."

Rose turned around and said, "Why?" Suddenly her foot slipped and she fell into the hole. Mat turned around and noticed that his mother was gone.
He yelled, "Mom?" There was no answer. Mat pulled out the black stone. He pit it in his mouth. Suddenly he turned into the yellow dragon. He flew up and then down...down into the dark hole.

Ten minutes later, Mat finally reached the bottom of the hole. His mother was laying on the dark cold ground. Mat ran over to her and said, "Mom, come on, we have to leave before we get flooded in!"

Rose whispered, "Son, the k-k-k-key is under my leg. You m-m-m-must take it and discover what is hidden inside that c-c-c-chest!"

Mat said, "Mom, why are you stuttering so much?"

Rose said, "I am...am losing a lot of blood."

Mat looked at Rose's belly and noticed a sharp pointed rock. That was covered in blood. Mat said, "No, you can't! You can't die!"

Rose said, "I love y-y-y-you, son. And I will always l-l-l-love you." She closed her eyes.

Mat's eyes started to water. He remebered the time when Trantrex cried and caused a peace tear. He wondered if he could do the same thing. A tear fell to his cheek, and then to the tip of his nose. Suddenly it fell from his nose and
