Summer 1863 The fog of war rolled across Vicksburg, in the gloom a small column of figures made their way pushing and pulling a number of small carts through the churned up ground. Though there flinching as the sound of shells landing. These figures wore neither blue or grey rather they wore what was one fine silks and cottons. not tattered and covered in mud and grime. They had just buried their valuables in the last place they felt safe, paper money was of little value now but gold and jewels would hold their value whichever side one. The last of the column turned to look back at the low brooding mass of the fort, they staggered back as one flank vanished under a hail of artillery fire. "Come on you fool, the're no more to be done," yelled the leader. "But the landmarks, we need to check..." he began to head back but was restrained by two of his companions "It'll be worth nothing if you're dead." "No, I must know!" he broke free and ran back towards the fort only to be engulfed by a rolling artillery barrage. The group saw what was happening and ran for their lives all thoughts of treasure and landmarks erased as death fell from the sky and burst all about them...
The present day Deputy Pendleton sat back against his police car and massaged her temples. She didn't look up as two other police cars sped past. Again the dispatch was swamped by calls from residents, the sounds of battle, screams and explosions. At first they thought it was a prank, now mass hysteria, either way it was time something was done about it. She straightened herself up, citizens were concerned and there was a job to do. She looked in the direction of the fort, there was a group of figure making their way towards it pulling some cart, perhaps these were the jokers behind it all. She informed dispatch the ran off to intercept them. A minute later she stepped out in front of them. "Evening everyone, what you all dooo..." She stopped as she faced a group of what looked to her like zombies, faintly glowing in the dark, all wearing 19th century clothing. One of them looked like a Confederate officer, he drew his sword and advanced menacingly towards her wailing. We just had to choose blue for our uniforms she thought as she backed away. The ghostly figures all drew weapons of some kind and advance on her. "Pendleton to dispatch 10-99" Definitely time someone did something about it she thought as mists began to swirl about her and the sound of cannon fire began to fill the air.

Scooby and the gang had just ordered malts at the Drive-in, when their phone started ringing. "I wonder who this could be?" questioned Shaggy. It was the mayor. "Hello?" said Shaggy.

"Not for long!" said Shaggy, as he stuffed all of the food they packed in his mouth. Velma shook her head. Just as Fred was about to scold Shaggy, he saw a detour sign in the road.

As Scooby siphoned the food out of Shaggy's mouth with a straw before he swallowed, Fred turned onto the road indicated by the detour. "Hey Gang, we've got a detour in the road. Velma, can you see what the GPS has nearby where we can grab a bite to eat?".

Shaggy and Scooby walked into the eatery. "I'll order everything with a side order of everything again!" Daphne rolled her eyes. The waitress greeted them. "Welcome to Vicksburg. Now what may I get you?" "I told you already." said Shaggy. The waitress had a look of shock on her face. "You mean you were serious?" she gasped.
