Author's Note: And now presenting...D3 SDMI: The Legend of Alice May!

One thing to note is that for this rewrite, I'll be making plenty of changes to the storyline, particularly with the Shaggy/Scooby/Velma affair. I just can't stand how Velma tried to drive a wedge between Shaggy and Scooby in the series, and if you're a Shaggy/Velma shipper and felt that Shaggy's move to dump Velma for Scooby later in Season 1 was completely unacceptable ("Dumping a girl for a dog", as I quote some of the S/V fans grumbled), then I'm sorry to say this, but I honestly don't give a you-know-whatever-you-think-it-is on Shaggy dumping Velma for some dog.

Scooby's more than just a dog to Shaggy, mates. There's a reason why he and Shaggy appeared together in all iterations of the franchise in its 40+ year history and that there was no episode that only featured Shaggy without Scooby or vice versa. This whole pitting Shaggy against Scooby thing is completely unacceptable and if you ask me, then I'll say that Velma deserved to be dumped by Shaggy for her trying to control him more.

It may be character development in the series, but I view it as total garbage that ruins the franchise. In fact, I'll rather stick with the so-called "flat characters" from the older series than utilize this rubbish "character development".

Once again, I apologize for the ranting, but I felt that I need to get this opinion off my chest. If you disagree with my remarks and don't like the direction I'm taking this reboot in, then don't read it. Any flaming will be DELETED.

I don't own Scooby-Doo. Hanna-Barbera Productions and Warner Bros. does.

Chapter 1: Prologue and watching a movie

April 27, 2012

Around the same time Que Horrifico and his gang of zombiefied children were making trouble in Crystal Cove, elsewhere in the county, a certain high school was having a dance party.

The high school in question is located in the rural town of Watson's Pass with the name of Watson's Pass High School, with the dance party being a prom for high school seniors. Why exactly did the school decided to hold its prom early was beyond anyone's guess, but nonetheless, Watson's Pass High School's prom is to be held that night.

That evening, one of the seniors of the high school, named Randolph "Randy" Foreman, was outside his house all dressed up in a light blue tux and waiting for his ride to go to the school's prom.

His parents were also there with his mother armed with her camera.

"Can you believe that our little boy Randy is going to the prom and be finishing high school this soon?" His mother asked adorably as she took a picture of him.

"Yes indeed, Jennifer." The boy's father agreed. "Time sure flies."

Jennifer nodded as she took another photo of Randy, who groaned.

"Oh, come on, Mom." He groaned. "This camera's flash is hurting my eyes!"

"Sorry, dear." His mother replied. "You just look so adorable in the tux!"

"I know, Mom." Randy said just as the limousine heading for Watson's Pass High School approached. "Oh, and my ride is here."

"Have fun, son." His father said as he patted his back before Jennifer went to give her son a kiss.

"Thanks, Mom and Dad." Randy nodded and smiled before making his way to the limo. "I should be home at around midnight."

His parents nodded as they watched their son getting on the limo and then waved as the vehicle drove off.

After pulling off from the house, the limo headed down the rural two-lane highway through the woods. With the sun setting and the lack of road lamps on the side of the road, the area has become quite dark.

For a while, much of the drive was uneventful. Then unexpectedly, the road disappeared and Randy soon found the limo driving through a bumpy narrow road through the woods.

"Hey!" He banged on the window separating the passenger seat from the driver's seat. "This isn't the way to Watson's Pass! Where are you going?"

The driver, whose face is in the shadows from the view, didn't respond and continued on driving as if nothing had happened.

Before Randy could know it, the limo couldn't avoid a tree as it tried to make a sharp turn on the narrow road, and the whole scene was followed by a "CRASH!"

As Randy got out of the wreckage, he rubbed his forehead and looked around.

"Oh boy." He muttered. "Where am I? I must've gotten on the wrong ride."

He then went to check on the driver, only to find that the driver's nowhere to be seen.

"Well, at least the limo left some tire tracks on the dirt road, so I should be able to find the highway and hitchhike my way to the prom." He thought to himself. "Though it will be better if I head home first, actually."

However, as he made the thought, he didn't realize that a shadowed figure was sneaking up on him.

Randy then turned around and his eyes widened when he recognized the figure.

"Oh no." He exclaimed in fright. "It can't be!"

The last thing that was heard in the woods were Randy's scream before everything went silent.

April 30, 2012

That Monday evening, a day after catching Que Horrifico and after school and dinner, Shaggy and Scooby were at the living room watching a movie.

Shaggy's parents were out of town again for the week, and the duo welcomed the fact that they'll be alone at home with all the peace and quiet.

At that moment, the duo were seated on the sofa and the television was at a scene of a movie where a man in a dark-silver bathrobe appeared nervous.

"Jack...listen." The man in the movie said nervously before presenting his hands in a I-come-in-peace gesture and walked forward as he continued, "Maybe we can cut a deal."

"Oh boy, Scooby-Doo." Shaggy remarked excitedly as he and Scooby watched the movie. "Here's the part."

"Reah." Scooby nodded as the scene on television shifts to the shadowed figure the man was facing.

"Jack." The shadowed man said as he took a couple steps forward. "Jack...is dead, my friend."

The shadowed man then stepped out of the shadows, revealing a man dressed in purple with chalk-white skin, a red creepy smile and green hair.

"Zoinks!" Shaggy exclaimed as his hair jumped and Scooby swallowed as the clown-like man revealed himself in the movie.

"You can call me...the Joker!" The clown-like man said with a smile that can send a chill down your spine while the other man looked on in shock.

Shaggy and Scooby then swallowed as the Joker revealed his gun as he continued, "And as you can see, I'm a lot happier already."

At that moment, a waltz started playing in the background as the Joker laughed evilly and proceeding to fire his gun towards the man who thought he could cut a deal with him.

Watching the Joker gunning down the man as the waltz plays on, Shaggy and Scooby cringed while having some difficulties holding back the smile that was forming on their faces. After all, they find the scene terrifying and funny to watch in the same time.

As the Joker threw his fedora aside while laughing in the movie, Shaggy turned to Scooby and said, "Like, the Joker in this movie kind of reminded me of this other character with the famous 'Here's Johnny' line from this other movie."

"Ri rink they're played by re rame ractor." Scooby nodded as they watched the Joker walking off-screen and remarked, "Oh, what a day!"

(What movie are Shaggy and Scooby watching here?)

Shaggy nodded just as his phone rang. Eying the caller ID, he noted that it was Daphne calling.

"Like, hi Daph." He answered as he reached for the remote control to turn down the television's volume.

"Hi Shag." Daphne said. "Are you and Scooby busy?"

"We're watching a movie right now, Daph." Shaggy replied. "Want to join us or are you busy?"

"I wish I could." Daphne sighed, and Shaggy guessed that her parents must've been a pain in the neck again. "But you know my parents. They had forbidden me from going out after eight and they haven't gotten through with the fiasco that occurred over the weekend, Shag."

"I understand." Shaggy nodded and frowned. "Like, don't worry about not being able to hang out with me or Scooby, Daph. You still have your chance to do so during school time and when the gang is together."

"I know, Shag." Daphne said. "It's just that my parents are now being hawkish on my activities outside of home and they've asked my other sisters to keep an eye on me whenever I go out."

"Don't worry, Daph." Shaggy said reassuringly. "Scoob and I still consider you as our closest friend. You don't have to worry about our changing our minds on you just because your parents are being unreasonable. As I said before, you can always come to Scoob and I whenever you're having troubles."

"Thanks, Shag." Daphne smiled. "You guys are the best!"

Shaggy smiled and nodded. "Like, see you tomorrow at school."

After hanging up the phone, Shaggy turned to Scooby as the Great Dane remarked, "Roor Raphne."

"I know, Scoob." Shaggy nodded. "I wish we can do something to help her."

Scooby nodded silently in agreement as they turned their attention back to the movie.
