Excerpt from: Convergence on Lawndale
In the TARDIS, an alert came up on the Scanner. “What?” the Doctor asked as he looked at it. Something was happening. It was interfering with Lawndale’s electrical grid. He set it to scan closer.


In Cranberry Commons, Kim and Ron saw the flicker.

“Uh oh!” Ron said.

Rufus agreed with him.

“Something’s happening,” Kim commented.

“But what causing it?” Ron asked.

“No idea, but we have to get back to the Portal.”

“Right behind you, KP!”

“I know that,” Andromeda said with more petulance.

“And I know you’re bored. So, once you settle in, we’re going to talk in the cafeteria about your behaviour.”

“No!”

“No? You’re acting like a child, rather than a young adult.”

“I’m not a child. Ask anyone.”

“Being an adult is not just being able to look after oneself. It is also behaving in a way that doesn’t draw negative attention to yourself. What do you think my opinion of you is right now?”

“I don’t care!”

“You should care.”

“What I care about, you don’t need to know,” Andromeda said, her voice low.

He eyed the food in front of him but remained focused. “What information can you offer?”

“The Vice Principal did tell me that you were coming,” the lady said. “But it isn’t sanitary to have a dog in here!”

Shaggy sighed. “I’m sorry, but Scooby and I are inseparable.”

The lady sighed. “Sure…”


All in all, she didn’t give much more information than the Vice Principal had. With a gulp, Shaggy knew that he and his friends would have to go inside that house.


Velma exited the school building and put the thumbdrive Valerie had given her into her tablet. She then listened to the sounds again. ‘They could be anything,’ she thought again, before launching the analysis software.


Fred looked over the materials he had brought. There was nothing left behind. If they had to make traps, they would be ready.


Velma went over the sounds many times. There was a clue there, but she would have to go into the house to be sure.
