Missy finished setting up the table for dinner and straightened her head fur.” Alright, Dix! Snowball fight in 5 minutes.” I rolled enough snowballs for a three player game. Creola has said she wants to play too. My base will be the far end of the boat, yours will be the near end, and Creola gets the upper deck. First one to 50 wins.” You’re going down Missy,” Dixie grinned.” Both of you dears need to be on your guards. I’m playing for keeps ,” Creola said with a toothy grin.” If I win.. I would like a blueberry lime pie. I have a major taste for it and I can’t find in ghost stores.” That is something Missy can handle. What about me?” Dixie asked.” Oh, What would you have to do for me? Hmm oh I’ve got it! You have to pose for a painting. Think that Rueben’s fellow with those curvy ladies he was always painting .” I didn’t know you painted.” Dixie said” Yes I do paint, in addition to the dressmaking and sewing you know about. “ Creola said” It should only take 10 to 12 … hours.” Creola giggled as Dixie’s mouth fell open. 12 hours straight?” Well, basically. There would be some breaks for using the girls room or getting some food. Long story short.. don’t lose.” Creola smiled .

The trio counted up all the green cookies and realized just one was missing. Where could it be? Meanwhile, Daphne and some of the others had started sorting out some of the coins, trying to figure out what denominations existed and roughly what age each were. Fred sat at the kitchen table, wondering where everyone else was. "Isn't anyone else hungry?" he called out as he properly unrolled his napkin. Back with the cookies, everyone concluded that just one was indeed still missing.

"Yeah, I'm pretty hungry." Thorn commented. "I was just waiting for everyone else to sit down."
"Like, zoinks! I never thought I'd be afraid of a cookie!" Shaggy gulped.
"Re reither!" Scooby covered his eyes with his paws, as he shivered with fear.
"I see the rogue cookie, guys! It's over there!" Winnie pointed over to the oven. She raced in that direction, but when the cookie saw her, it began scampering across the counter. "Gimme some help, guys!"

Marybelle Nili and Nora helped themselves to plates of food, and Nora took a big slice of pumpkin pie. “ Leave some for the rest of us Nora” Marybelle teased. That’s a sixth of the pie, at least.” Ben drenched his mashed potatoes in gravy and tossed in a few green beans. Eliza took 3 biscuits and grabbed some jam.” It’s basically breakfast. All I am missing is sausage for the biscuits.“ Tanner squeezed whipped cream on his pie slice

Matches scampered after the cookie and finally caught it, much to the relief of everyone else in the kitchen. He gathered up all the food he wanted into a large fabric napkin and then hoisted it up above the cupboards, to eat in solitude. Everyone was busy looking for a place to sit. Scrappy sat by Scooby and Flim-Flam by Scrappy. "Oh boy, mashed potatoes!" Scrappy said, serving an overly large helping for himself before passing on an empty bowl to Flim-Flam. He began to mold it like clay. Soon, he had formed a face out of the potatoes which resembled Scooby.

"Like, thank goodness that's over! Never thought I'd be scared of food!" Shaggy replied, as he hurried over to the table. "And speaking of food, let's eat!"
Scooby looked over to see Scrappy's mashed potato Scooby.
"Rehehe." he giggled.
Thorn put some turkey and mashed potatoes on her plate, as well as a small slice of pie. She took a bite of the turkey and discovered that it was delectable. "Mmm...this is wonderful."
"Yeah, it's fangtastic!" Sybella agreed.
"Shaggy, are you even tasting the food?" Phantasma asked with a high-pitched giggle, noticing the lanky teen had already eaten three turkey legs, two helpings of mashed potatoes, and two slices of pie.
"Like, of course I am! And once I tasted it, I realized it was so good that I needed to taste it faster!" Shaggy laughed.

"This food is simply delicious!" Daphne complemented the chefs.
"Yeah, it sure makes for a good end to a busy day!" Fred added.
"So, I guess we'll figure out the coins and stuff tomorrow?" Dusk asked.

I will start scanning the coins tonight.” Velma said.” Given how many we found, it could take a couple days to do all of them, my scanner only can handle a couple dozen at a time. Put them in the Scanning Room, which is on the second floor.”
- After dinner, we have the snowball fight, then the seance then Detective Rudolph.” Missy said. Take some time to decide what you want to ask, Mr Wiley.. If you need some paper, there’s some in the kitchen drawer, I use it for shopping lists.”

Shaggy and Scooby had gobbled down several more turkey legs and mashed potatoes, causing Elsa to look at them in disbelief.
"Oh boy, just looking at you two makes me full!" Elsa chuckled.
"Save some pie for us, you two." Phantasma giggled. "Missy only made a few."
"So, if we're bringing the coins up to the Scanning Room tonight, what do you guys think should be our plan for tomorrow?" Thorn inquired.

Investigate the Costume shop, see if we can find out who bought that costume we found pieces of in our section of the fort.” Creola said. “ Dixie and I are going out.” Nora said.” We have to find out how deep the fort goes. We should be able to narrow down where the treasure might have been hid. Most likely there are several hidden rooms or passages, as Fred found one already.” Nora said.” In the meantime, there’s a delightful restaurant that serves these delicious breaded crab cakes. Nissa’s Fish and Cakes, it’s called.”

"Crab cakes?" Flim-Flam asked excitedly. Sounds delicious!" Meanwhile, Scrappy had finished his food and was trying on a detective's trench coat he found in the closet. He pulled out a plastic badge and practiced the lines he'd use to get information at the costume shop.
"Bureau of Federal Detection. Agent Doo's the name. We need the lowdown on this costume."
"Scrappy... the BFD is a real federal organization," Daphne reminded.
"Sorry, Daphne! I just wanted to be like those guys on tv..." Scrappy replied. "I'm still going to wear this jacket though! We ARE detectives after all!"

"Like, crab cakes? Now you're speaking our language!" Shaggy exclaimed. "That'll be incentive enough for us to investigate that creepy costume shop again tomorrow."
"How can you think about food at a time like this? We're eating now!" Thorn said with a chuckle.
"Sounds like a plan." Sybella agreed. "Are we all going to the costume shop together, or splitting up again?"

We’re all going together.” Dixie said,” we’re going over that shop like Scooby or Shaggy cleaning their plates at mealtime. Not a crumb overlooked. We’re not the only ones looking for the treasure. A legendary missing fortune, worth billions in today’s money? Others are definitely looking for it too,”

"Sounds great! There's safety in numbers." Elsa replied.
"That was a fangtastic meal, Missy. Thank you!" Sybella exclaimed.
"Yeah, that was a great meal. I'm so full, I couldn't eat another bite!" Winnie added.
"So I guess it's time to get ready for the seance now?" Phantasma inquired.

Yes. You girls go get ready. While I beat Dixie and Creola into frozen submission in the snowball fight. Also Creola, you have to stay solid the whole time. No using your ghost abilities to avoid getting hit, like going invisible or transparent . It’s no fun if you do that. That and it’s cheating .” Missy said .” I don’t cheat Miss Scarlett. When you lose, it will be 100 percent fair. I did have one question, if you make a bigger snowball, does hitting you with it earn more points?” No. Otherwise we would be lugging around huge heavy snow blocks.” Missy said as Dixie pushed in her plate.” I’m ready girls. Marybelle has agreed to be scorekeeper, reporting is an honor system, so if you got hit, report it.” Dixie said.” I will be on the upper level to start. To make things fair, you report after each girl has thrown 10 snowballs. That will be a round. There will be probably 5 rounds, unless someone hits her opponents with most of her snowballs in each round.” Marybelle said.”And depending on where they hit .” Missy grinned.” Dresses count too.”
