//------------------------------// // Finally, A Happy Ending // Story: G5 Adventures in Chill Out, Scooby-Doo! // by ponydog127 //------------------------------// Misty shakingly stood up on her hooves after the explosion. She couldn’t believe it was finally over… They had won. Opaline Arcana was just a distant memory. Upon seeing Misty get onto her hooves again, Scooby giggled and bolted over to her, giving her a tight hug. Misty sighed happily and gave into it, tears of relief pouring down her face. “Misty? Are you hurt?” Pipp asked. “Why are you crying?” “These… these are tears of joy, Pipp,” Misty wiped her face. “I never thought I could say that Opaline and her evil are gone, but… they are. They’re finally gone.” “So… the whole ‘trying to reform Opaline thing?” Fred questioned. “Did you mean all that?” “...in a way, yes. But in another way, it was a way for me to distract her while you guys got close to us,” Misty said. “And defeating her, while reforming her would have been nice… is all I really wanted.” “Wait… since her spells are gone,” Aurora spoke up, “does that mean our friends are free from Opaline’s control?” “Only one way to find out,” Sunny smiled. “Let’s go and find out.” XXXXXXXXX Turns out, the spell over their friends were broken, and during tears and hugs, they explained how the battle went down, and that Opaline was finally gone forever. But during the midst of all this, Shaggy began to wonder something about their earlier mystery. “So, like, is the abominable snowman just a myth after all?” “No, mes amis.” Everyone turned to see a hunter enter the building, and he was one that Shag, Scooby and three of their pony friends recognized. “Alphonse Lafleur?” “The abominable snowman is real,” the hunter said as he came in. “Wait…” Misty trailed off. “You’re alive?” “Amazingly,” said Alphonse, “I survived a terrible fall from the high cliff. As I lay unconscious in the snow… something rescued me. The next thing I know, I find myself out on the mountain… all alone. I can remember nothing else.” “Zoinks,” Shaggy said as he and Scooby trembled. “Like, I think you remembered plenty.” “So… there really is an abominable snowman?” Zipp said, and she and Aurora high hoofed Del. “Right on!” “Sorry for all the trouble I caused,” Minga apologized. But then, Del approached her with a sincere smile. “Gee, Minga, what you did is so romantic… in a kind of twisted way, which I like. I'm just not sure where we go from here.” But that’s when Pipp and Daphne got the same idea. XXXXXXXX Everyone boarded the next plane to Paris, where they sat out in the sunshine and eating French pastries. Minga was having the time of her life with Del, who swooned her with his French accent. “Oh, I am just loving the Paris!” “Like, us too,” Shaggy said from the food covered table. “They say Paris is for lovers, right, Scoob? Ha-ha-ha! Well, I'm in love with this springtime spread!” “Oui oui, Shaggy!” Scooby said before biting into a pastry, letting all the cream come out and got on Shaggy’s face, causing him to lick it. “I’m glad everypony is having such a good time,” Hitch smiled. “But… where’s Freddy?” “Good point, Hitch,” Daphne said. “He was supposed to be here an hour ago.” Suddenly, a ringing noise began bothering Shaggy, just like before. “Can you believe it, Scoob? My ears are ringing again.” “It’s your phone,” Scooby said as he brought it over. “Sheesh…” “Like, hello?” Shaggy answered the call, and Fred was on the other side… in an exotic jungle location. “Uh, guys? I think I got on the wrong plane.” “Oh boy… here we go again!” Zipp groaned. But then, the portal back to Equestria opened up next to them, and Sunny sighed. “Well… I guess we better get back to Equestria. Keep an eye on them, okay Aurora and Snow Spell?” “Right, Sunny,” Snow Spell smiled. “We’ll miss you. Thank you for everything.” The ponies waved goodbye again before diving into the portal, and everyone else got into the Mystery Machine, Scooby taking the wheel. “Like, step on it, Scoob. Next stop, the Amazon jungle!” Scooby slammed on the gas, and as they sped out of Paris, he howled at the top of his lungs, “Scooby-Dooby-Doooooooooooo!!!” XXXXXXXXXX A few hours later in Equestria, everypony was finally sitting down to their Harvest and Hugs Day meal, with Misty sporting a purple, pink and orange gradient in her mane and tail to match her cutie mark. As they ate, Sunny nudged Misty playfully. “Feeling better, Misty?” “Better than ever, Sunny,” Misty said. “Cause… for the first time… I feel as free as when a butterfly spreads its wings.” “That’s great,” Sunny beamed. “And until the Unity Crystals send us out again… we’ll be enjoying it to the fullest.”
