We see Mystery Inc. parked outside the back entrance of the museum. Fred seems to be trying to open the door but to no avail

"This place is locked up tighter than a drum!" Fred says as he finally gives up trying to open the locked door

"Then like, how do we get in?" Shaggy asks

"Easy Shaggy. You go through that window up there." Fred says pointing to a window

"Why me?" Shaggy asks

"Because that's a small window and you're the thinnest." Fred replies 

"Oh boy." Shaggy replies

"Come on, give me a hand with this ladder." Fred said as he unloaded a ladder from The Mystery Machine

Fred and Shaggy propped the window against the wall and much to Mystery Inc.'s dismay, it is nowhere close to the window

"It won't reach." Daphne stated

"I guess we don't get in." Velma adds

"Well, if we don't get in, we'll never find out what happened to the missing professor." Fred responded. "Shaggy, you start up, and i'll get the jack out of The Mystery Machine." Fred added

"Right." Shaggy said as he started climbing the ladder and Fred grabbed the the jack. "Hang on, Shaggy." Fred said

"Like, right, man."Shaggy responded

"I'll start cranking." Fred said as he started using the crank to lift up the ladder to the window

"And i'll keep hanging on." Shaggy responded

The crank reaches his height limit and Shaggy still can't reach the window but he is only a foot below it.

"That's it, no more jack." Fred said as he stood up

"He still can't reach it." Velma stated in response

"Don't worry, Shaggy's the swingingest gymnast in school." Daphne said in response

"When you get in, open the back door!!" Fred yells up to Shaggy

"Right. Watch me swing right in!" Shaggy said as he jumped up, grabbed the window ledge, and pulled himself through the window

Everyone covered their ears as they her loud crashing noises from inside the museum. After the crashing stopped, they look at the back door. 

"Well, at least we know he's inside." Velma said

IN THE MUSEUM

Somewhere in an exhibit, there is a pile of broken things such as vases, stones, and pillars. Shaggy pokes his head out wearing a roman warrior helmet and he shakes his head and takes off the helmet as he goes to get the back door. He eventually comes up to The Black Knight armour and gulps.

"The Black Knight..." Shaggy whispered. 

He then walked up to the armour and knocked it a few times and lucky for him, nothing seems to be in it and he says, "Sure glad it's empty." 

He then walks past a statue somewhere else in the room as he goes for the back door to let the others in. However, some eyes inside the statue that follow him as he walks off.

AT THE BACK DOOR

Shaggy has now gotten the back door open letting the others in.

"Golly, this place sure is creepy at night." Daphne says

"It's even creepy during the day..." Shaggy responds

"I think we better split up. Daph and I will go this way..." Fred starts as he points in the direction of the Egypt exhibit and pointed the other way as he said, "...and you two go that way. And Scooby, stand guard." 

"Rnuh-uh, rnuh-uh!" Scooby responded

"Would you do it for a Razz berry?" Fred asks as he held a Razz berry.

"....Rtwo?" Scooby responds

"Okay, two it is." Fred responded 

Fred then tosses two Razz berries to Scooby as he catches them in his mouth and eats them.

"RScooby-Doo!" Scooby said as he somewhat saluted

LATER

Scooby was walking back and forth in front of the back door as if he was a guard Pokemon. After a few paces, he stops and looks around. While he isn't noticing it however, the door opens letting in enough light to make his shadow large on the wall behind him. Scooby looks at his large shadow, realizes the door is open and screams.

"Rikes!" Scooby screamed as he ran off

WITH VELMA AND SHAGGY

Shaggy and Velma are looking around in the weaponry section of the medieval section of the museum when they hear running footsteps

"I think we're being followed." Velma says as her and Shaggy turn to see Scooby running in their direction

"Yeah, by Scooby." Shaggy responded

All of a sudden, Shaggy gets tackled by Scooby.

"Alright, Scooby-Doo, you can come with us." Shaggy told his coward friend

Scooby licks Shaggy's face about 6 times before Shaggy manages to get him to get off
