Quicker than Wiggins expected, the séance devolved from subdued mumbo-jumbo into chaos.

Suddenly, Watson was down, set upon by Telford.  Wiggins heard the doctor’s pleas but the swordsman was so deranged there was no reasoning with him.

At Wiggins’ signal, the lights flared, a stone struck Telford down, and another youth seized the medium.  Wiggins tore the veil from her face revealing instead the villainous Simon Aberfoyle.

‘Very clever, Aberfoyle. If Watson dies, you will hang,’ Wiggins promised as he checked Watson’s pulse.

‘Curses! I would have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for you meddlesome children!’

.oOOo.

Ruh roh...
It's hardly fair. Scooby and Shaggy never had to deal with /functional/ weapons!
'Creepy' to 'hilarious' in record time. (But I hope Watson's ok. Maybe he should have brought a dog?)

Hehehe!
I could not resist peer pressure from certain others and made a Scooby Doo drabble continuation.

I wonder though, how this would read to those who were not familiar with the Scooby Doo meta. Because we do end up with an unconscious, bleeding Watson in the end.

Thanks for commenting!

HAHAH! This is hilarious! Not at all how I expected it to continue... but wonderful, none-the-less. :)

I hope you weren't too disappointed with the turn the story took. As soon as Scooby Doo was ruled out-of-order, it was all I could think of. (Then some incorrigible friends urged me onward!)
