Summary
When an ancient medallion turns Scooby's best friend Amy into a dog, he, Amy, Shaggy, and their new friends, Majesty and her pups, Blackie, Summer, Sadie, and Luna, will have to journey into an ancient world to reverse the spell before everyone ends up the same way.

Chapter 1
Miami, one of the top visits that Amy wanted to visit on her bucket list she made when she was little and her parents were still alive to give the okay. The beaches, the shopping, the attractions, it was all stuff she wanted to do. She and her new family, Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby, whom she thought more of her best friends than family, were heading to Miami for the Blue Moon Summer Solstice Festival, which was three days away. The festival was supposed to be the biggest event that Miami beach had ever had. “And according to the Internet,” said Velma as she looked at her tablet, “the festival is supposed to not only have thousands of people there, but also hundreds of dogs.”

“More dogs for us to play with,” Amy told Scooby as the two cuddled, and Shaggy joined in. He and Scooby knew that Amy had always wanted a dog, and that’s why she was so close to Scooby. After Scooby saved her life when they had first met, Scooby was inseparable to her. Scooby was so sad when they had to leave, that it forced the gang to the decision to adopt Amy from the orphanage, so Amy could have a family again, and Scooby could still be with his friend. As they were thinking this, the Mystery Machine pulled up in front of a building called the Surfside Hotel. Scooby let Amy get on his back and galloped off to catch up with the others. A black-haired, green-eyed lady, probably about 20 or so, was at the front desk. “Welcome to the Surfside Hotel,” she greeted the gang. “My name is Emily Greene, and I’ll be helping you out during your stay. Reservation name?”

“Blake,” Daphne said as Emily typed it in. “Ahh, here we are. We’ve got you all in rooms 346 and 348, Mrs. Blake.” She then looked at Scooby, whose tail wagged. “Wait wait wait. Stop. Don’t tell me. I can figure this out.” She looked at Scooby a bit more closely. Scooby felt a little put on the spot for a sec. Emily then smiled. “He’s a Great Dane, male, and he’s seven years old.”

“You got it,” Fred told her. “Yes! Nailed it! I absolutely love dogs, and I’m trying really hard to see if I can figure out which kind they are and what their age is. I have a dog myself.” She whistled. “Here, Majesty!” A beautiful Border Collie with a majestic collar around her neck walked up to them. She also had a little blue bag that went around her waist. “This is Majesty, who’s won three dog shows in the last 5 years. Majesty, curtsy.”

Majesty got down on her fore-paws and did a little curtsy. “Aww, how adorable!” Amy said, patting Majesty on the head. “I have a feeling that you and her will be good friends, Scooby,” she added. Scooby looked at Majesty and smiled at her. “You two go off and have some fun while we go explore around town.” The gang went down the hall and Emily turned to the two dogs. “Majesty, why don’t you show Scooby the dog lounge? And maybe you can show him that...thing.” Scooby was confused. What ‘thing’ was Emily talking about? After a minute, Scooby followed Majesty down the hall. Majesty looked around to make sure no one else was around them before she turned to the Great Dane. “Finally, we can get away from them for a little bit.” Scooby backed up a little bit. “How...how are you…?” he asked, a little alarmed. Majesty chuckled. “I don’t exactly know how to explain,” she explained, “but I happen to be a descendant of a talking dog. You, however, I don’t know how.” Scooby sat down in front of her. “I’ve heard many good things about you, Scooby, from the news and such. That’s why I must task you with the responsibility to hold onto this.” She reached into her bag and got out a medallion that looked like a pawprint and laid it in front of Scooby. The Great Dane lowered his neck to look at it. “This is a special medallion that was given to me by my mother. I have yet to figure out its true power. I want you to hold onto it until I do.” Scooby was still a bit confused, but not as confused as he once was. He nodded and took the medallion’s string into his mouth. The 2 then went into the dog lounge and got something to eat, mingled with a few other dogs, and played with a ball. When the rest of the gang got back, Scooby rushed to greet them. “Like, hey, Scooby-Doo,” Shaggy said, hugging him. “Did you have a good time with Majesty?” Scooby nodded and winked at Majesty. Her talking secret would be safe and sound with him.

Later, in Amy and Scooby’s room, Amy was unpacking. Shaggy and the others gave her the okay that Scooby could stay with her because she had never slept alone before. Amy was busy putting her pajamas in one of the drawers when she noticed that Scooby was looking at something that she thought looked pretty interesting. “Hey, Scoob. What’re you looking at so hard?” Scooby grabbed the string in his mouth and held the medallion up for her to look at it. “Ooh...that’s pretty, Scooby. Where’d you get it?” Scooby explained everything, and Amy promised to keep Majesty’s secret safe. She took the medallion from Scooby and looked at it closer. “You think that it would look good on me?” Scooby shrugged, because he wasn’t sure. “Well, there’s only one way to find out.” Amy slipped the medallion over her neck and she posed for her friend to look. “So, what do you think?” Scooby gave her the thumbs up sign, telling her that it looked great. When Amy looked at it again, she noticed something. “Scooby, did you notice that there are words on the back of the medallion?”

“No,” Scooby answered, shaking his head. Amy thought that was weird, but brushed off the thought. She read the words aloud:

Trapped in this form, you will be

Until the princess' spirit is once again free

Amy was even more confused than before. Suddenly, a strange force lifted her up in the air. “Hey, uh...Scooby? Is it me, or are you seeing this, too?!”

Scooby went out of the room to get Shaggy; hopefully he could help them out. He barged into Shaggy and Fred’s room. Fred was out walking with the girls, so he wouldn’t be back for a while. “Scooby? You okay, dude?” Scooby acted out the whole thing. “Calm down, Scoob. I’ll come and take a look.” The two walked down the hall, then a blinding flash of light came under then vanished. A thud was heard. “Zoinks! Like, what was that?!” Shaggy asked. The two ran inside and found a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy on the floor, unconscious. But, Scooby didn’t see Amy anywhere! “Amy? Amy?! AMY?!?!” he screamed as tears flowed into his eyes. As soon as he called Amy’s name that last time, the puppy began to regain consciousness. “What...what happened to me? Scooby-Doo, where are you?”

Scooby thought he heard Amy’s voice talking to him, but he knew it couldn’t have been. But, it sounded like it was coming from the puppy, so, it couldn’t have been Amy, unless...Amy was the dog!
