Happy Halloween! I know it's a day late sorry. Will be uploading chapter 2 soon! Read and review! Thank you!
"Shaggy and Scooby have their Halloween food festival and I have plans with Marcy, so I guess it's just you and Fred tonight," Velma said with a smirk.
"Velma you know it's not like that!" Daphne stomped. But she knew her best friend could see right through her.
"Mhmmm...sure," Velma said with an eye roll. "Well if you have any intentions of getting anywhere I suggest a horror movie."
Velma's words haunted her as she and Fred discussed what they should do. It was October 31, Halloween day and night was soon approaching. Everyone else in the gang had already left to attend their Halloween plans so it was just the two of them.
"How about a horror movie?" Daphne tried to ask casually, however it was hard to conceal her hope.
Fred's stomach was full of butterflies and he could barely speak "Uh ya uh sure… sounds great," This was just Daphne after all, why was he so nervous?
Just Daphne, plain old Daphne. Daphne with her red hair...that floated like a cloud and was softer than silk… and… focus Fred!
Daphne practically danced over to the movie cabinet.
"Hmmm," She crouched down searching for a good movie. For once Daphne wanted to be scared. "How about… MAMA," Daphne read the title already intrigued. It felt like searching for clues.
"Never seen it. Let's watch it!" Fred agreed. "But first, let's get something to eat!"
Daphne sat on her bed pondering whether watching a horror movie was really the best choice. What if it were to become awkward what if… no Daphne it will be fine don't worry so much.
"Daph!" Fred called from downstairs. "Pizza's here!"
"Coming!" she called as she raced down the stairs, although she wasn't as food crazed as Shaggy and Scooby she did enjoy pizza.
"So… Fred…" Daphne tried to search for her words and looked out the window for inspiration.
It was a rather cold night, the wind rattled the trees and stormy gray clouds began to fill up the sky.
"It looks like it's gonna be a short night for trick or treaters" Fred commented taking notice of the weather.
"Ya," Daphne sighed. The anxiety of the movie and the nostalgia of the day all hitting her at once.
She thought back to when they were kids. Before the house, even before the mystery machine. Scooby was just a puppy and the gang was at the start of elementary school. Velma in Kindergarten was already at a 4th grade reading level, Daphne in first grade began to appreciate the world of fashion, Fred also in first grade, dreamed of cars and traps. Shaggy and Scooby, well they were almost as food crazy as they are to this day.
Oh and their Halloween costumes… Velma always dressed as her favorite character in a book. Daphne always dressed as a princess which then turned to a cat as she grew up. Shaggy and Scooby always wore crazy costumes. And Fred… he always wore a costume that addressed his "manliness."
Daphne couldn't help giggle and the fond memories of her and her best friends.
"What's so funny Daph?" He smiled. Just the sound of her voice lit up his whole world, he couldn't help but grin when he heard her adoring giggle.
"I was just thinking about old times with the gang," They smiled at each other and suddenly Daphne almost jumped out of her chair with excitement. She sat back down and her cheeks turned red with humiliation.
"Hey Freddy…" Daphne looked down at the ground completely embarrassed for what she was gonna say. "I-I I know that we are too old to go trick or treating and all that but-but I think it would still be fun to dress up… right?" She looked at him with hopeful eyes that pierced his heart. He loved the nickname Freddy but only when it came from the goddess otherwise known as Daphne, but to him it was Daph.
Even though her heels and makeup would suggest otherwise, Daphne was really still a child at heart which Fred absolutely adored about her. That was only one of the many things that made Fred's heart drop to his stomach.
"Uh...Freddy?" Daphne tried to regain Fred's attention, it seemed he had been lost in a train of thought.
"Oh ah ya… sorry. Sounds like a plan!" Fred cheered. With that Daphne skipped up the steps with glee while Fred scolded himself for getting lost in Daphne's sparkling blue eyes.
"Freddy are you getting ready or what?" Daphne called from upstairs.
"Ya, I'm coming right now." Fred trotted up the stairs excited for this Halloween more than any other before.
