take the kids away from the darn munchers for good

No kid should have to lie in an abusive household.  I lived that and wouldn't wish it on anyone.  I'm glad the kids get to spend the holidays with their dads.

Off to read the next chapter.

Dun understand what the munchers is thinking. Parenting is not about competition. Is love and understanding parent towards their children. The dads did a much better job in parenting skills than the moms.

Love the bonding and support Gus and JR had for each other. The brotherly love Gus show JR is priceless.

Brian stay true to his principle that "I'm not my Father" and vow never to be like his father. His love for his son is just beyond words.

Love it.



Author's Response:

Thank you immensely for your insightful  feedback!  And I'm so happy you are enjoying the story!

There are a lot of interesting dynamics going on between all the characters.  Clearly, Lindsay and Mel haven't quite figured out the whole 'parenting is not a competition' thing :)  Indeed, Brian and Justin are not self-absorbed in their parenting skills, and look out as best they can for their son, and even JR.  Gus and JR have a very special bond, and Gus seems to be one who will always be the protective big broter.

Brian has determined to be NOTHING like is own father, especially when it comes to Gus.  And Justin, too, I think, can share in a bit of that because he is nothing like his own dad, Craig Taylor.  I'm delighted you like the aspect of how loving and devoted Brian and Justin are with Gus!

I appreciate your comments, and for taking time to read the story!!  Again, thank you!

Brian, Justin, Ben, and Michael went to the hotel restaurant to eat supper.  Their conversation didn’t stray from the events of the past few ours

Translation: First re group and comparing of clues.

The next few scenes were NEVER in Scooby Doo. You'll have to read them for yourselves!

Gus quickly flipped the switch to turn on the overhead light in the room, only to have his fear confirmed…Jenny wasn’t there!

Ruh! Roh!

I don’t understand any of this!” Mel continued to shout.

Second altercation with the spooky ghost. One of the gang is in trouble! Rescue squad mobilize!

Brian was keen enough to have had suspicions earlier in the day regarding Mel’s harsh, outrageous behavior regarding Jenny Rebecca, and now, it was confirmed.

The clues start to fall into place.

“Go to hell!” Mel screamed.

The evil witch attacks again. But the gang is armed with the evidence now! Her power is fading.

“I do know,” Brian told her, “And I also know an out-of-control alcoholic when I see one!”  His own memories of his abusive, drunk father, flashed through his head.

Let's see who this witch REALLY IS!!<pulls off mask>>  It's Mel!!!

And...there we go...OK, I'll stop now. Seriously tho, I think this story is great. Mel with a <spoiler> is a new one but hope this means they will be out of the story and Brian and company get their kids. I always like a good..get the kids away from the munchers...story and the different ways it happens.

Since I couldn't find anything wrong with this fic except for maybe being a little long...I decided to play a little game. I' noticed certain parrelels and have translated the chapter for the Scooby impaired.

Brian stood up and paced the floor for a minute.  He looked over at Justin, saying, “There’s something else going on with those two munchers.”

Translation: Well Gang, looks like we got  mystery on our hands!

“You and Ben go pack a bag and make your way to the airport, NOW!  I’ll have e-tickets waiting for you at the counter.  Your plane will make a stop here in New York, and Justin, Gus, and I will join you on the flight to Toronto.  Any questions?”

Translation: Time for a ride in the Mystery Machine!

Brian placed a hand on his son’s shoulder and said, “Gus, why don’t you go with your sister and Ben.”

Translation: Time to split up and look for clues!

First altercation and chase with the scary ghost: They have encountered a spooky Jewish witch.

Justin was now placing the cold cloth J.R. had handed to him on Brian’s forehead, and Justin was giving Brian sips of water, along with the additional blood pressure and heart pills Gus had retrieved.

Translation: The gang has escaped the spooky witch but now new problems arise along with more questions. What exactly did crawl up Mel's butt? And  why did it have to die?

Shortly thereafter, Brian and Justin hugged their son and J.R. goodbye, and Michael and Ben did the same with the kids.  The four men got into the Cadillac Escalade Brian had rented, and drove to the hotel they were all staying at for the night.

Back in Lindsay and Mel’s house, Gus hurriedly ushered J.R. upstairs and into her bedroom.  The air in the house was still so thick with dissention, it made both kids nervous

Translation: Zoiks! Run for it, Scoob!!

More to cum!
