Chapter one
"Wow, I'm glad we caught that guy! He was a freak!" Daphne exclaimed as they walked into the apartment block they all lived in.
"Tell me about it! He didn't have any food!" Shaggy said.
"Reah!" Scooby agreed.
They all walked into Daphne's apartment, where Shaggy and Scooby went straight to the fridge, Fred and Velma sat down on the couch, exhausted, while Daphne fixed everyone a drink.
After a while of talking about the mystery they had just solved, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby decided to go to bed, while Fred decided to keep Daphne company for a little while.
'Let's just hope something might finally happen!' Daphne thought to herself.
But to her disappointment, Fred continued talking about the mystery they had just solved.
"Well, I'd better go to bed now. Night Daph!" Fred said and walked out the door.
"Yeah, night" Daphne replied glumly.
'Give it up, Daph; it's never going to happen. Maybe I got the wrong idea when I thought he was flirting with me…he probably thinks of me as a sister more than anything else.'
Daphne followed the others example, and headed to bed, trying to get what was not happening with Fred out of her mind.
"What do you guys want?" Fred asked the gang the next day at the Malt Shop.
"Just a chocolate thick shake thanks" Velma answered.
"Make that two" Daphne added.
He nodded and went to order, not bothering to asked Shaggy and Scooby, as they had already finished eating half the food in the shop.
When Fred came back, Daphne got up.
"I'm just gonna go put some music on."
Walking towards the juke box, Daphne chose a song, and ready to turn back to drink her thick shake, when – 'BANG!' She ran into someone and fell to the floor along with the person she had just hit.
"Oh, sorry!" Daphne said looking up at the man.
"No, don't be, it was all my fault" He said, as he got up.
He held out his hand for Daphne to grab. Accepting his hand, she got up.
"I'm Mike Peterson by the way" He said, shaking her hand.
"Daphne Blake."
"So are you a local here?" Mike asked.
"Yeah, you?"
"Just moved here from Canada."
"Wow, really? That's like my favourite country!"
"Cool! It's a beautiful place, you should go there some time."
"I've been meaning to, just had a lot of things going on. Hey, would you like to meet my friends?" Daphne asked.
"Yeah, sure."
Walking over to the table the gang was sitting at, Daphne, followed by Mike, stood in front them.
"Guys, this is Mike Peterson. Mike, this is Fred Jones, Velma Dinkley, Shaggy Rogers, and Scooby Doo." Daphne said, introducing Mike to the gang.
"Hey, Mike, where are you from?" Velma asked.
"Southern Canada."
"I've like always wanted to go there!" Shaggy said.
Mike smiled, "Seems like everyone does! So what do you guys do anyway?"
"We're detectives," Fred answered proudly, puffing out his chest.
"Really? I actually considered becoming a detective at one point, but I decided to become a pilot instead."
"OMG! No way! I love flying!" Daphne exclaimed.
"I can take you flying tomorrow if you like?"
"Like Totally!"
Laughing, Mike turned to the others, "You guys wanna join us?"
"Yeah, sure!" They all said.
Fred didn't want to go, but he had to keep an eye on Mike and Daphne.
