"Please come with us," Shaggy pleaded with his girlfriend of two and a half months.
"Why?" Christina responded in a sing-song teasing voice.
"Because I don't want to be away from you that long. Like, I'll die," Shaggy answered dramatically as he placed a hand over his heart and fell back laying his head in Christina's lap.
Christina nibbled on her bottom lip as she looked at Shaggy. Scooby had very clearly taught him how to make puppy eyes. She ran her hands through his hair as she weighed her options. Go with the gang or stay cooped up in the castle by herself. Dracula and Vana Pira were away on a trip. Draculaura and the other girls were gon to Boo York. So, that left Christina to herself. Unless she went with the gang who were going to Velma's sister's graduation. They'd be staying at the school beforehand.
"You need to like, stop doing that," Shaggy said effectively shaking Christina from her thoughts.
"Doing what?"
"Biting your lip like that,"
"Why?
"Like, it makes me want to like, kiss you breathless,"
"Oh really?" Christina said before biting her lip intentionally.
"You little tease," Shaggy cried.
Shaggy couldn't take it. He sat up and grabbed Christina's head in his hands. Smashing his lips against hers. He moved his hands to cradle the back of her head and internally cheered at the feeling of her hands in his hair. He continued to kiss her as he pushed her down. She saw fit to tease him? Well, she'd reap the consequences. He peppered kisses along her jaw and collarbone, he nibbled on her neck fully intent on leaving his mark behind.
"Shaggy, I made my choice," Christina declared.
"Like, what'd you decide?" Shaggy questioned sitting up
"I'll go,"
"Like, you've made me the happiest person alive,"
"You're a mellow dramatic fool," Christina responded as the two left Christina's bedroom.
"like, I'm your mellow dramatic fool that you'll love forever,"
"Yes, and, you love me right back,"
"Like, I have to,"
"And what makes you say that?"
"Uh, like, I kind of sorta-"
"Shaggy, you're making me worry please tell me,"
"I imprinted on you a long while ago,"
Christina grasped his hand and gave it a squeeze. "It's okay," she assured him.
Shaggy was relieved. Whatever had deemed him worthy of this beautiful girl was really too kind. As the two sat down on the couch to watch a movie Shaggy found himself watching Christina instead. She was so beautiful. Her brown hair cascaded down her back in waves, he wanted to run his hands through it again. Her brown eyes shone with life and a never-ending curiosity. He never wanted to see those eyes sad. His eyes fell to her lips again. He wanted to kiss her again. She always tasted of chocolate and mint. He wrapped an arm around her as she leaned back, placing her feet on the ottoman. Her head rested on his shoulder and he started stroking her hair again.
He could not keep his eyes off Christina. He would be lying if he said she wasn't beautiful. Even dressed in a kitten tank top and her favorite blue jeans.
Christina felt his eyes on her again. She reached her hand up and started to fiddle with her bat choker charm. How is it that even though they were dating he still managed to cause her to have butterflies in her stomach? She knew that her cheeks were beet red.
"Christina?"
"Hm?"
"Did I tell you how beautiful you are today?"
"Shut up, I'm not pretty,"
Shaggy grabbed Christina by her chin and turned her to face him. He looked at her with such seriousness it shook her to her core.
"Don't ever say that. You are the most beautiful girl to ever, EVER walk this planet. I don't ever want to hear you say that again"
"Shaggy-"
"Like, I'm serious. Promise me you will NEVER doubt yourself again,"
"Shaggy-"
"Promise me"
Christina sighed.
"I promise,"
He kissed her.
"Like, I'll hold you to it,"
Christina had no doubt.
Shaggy didn't understand how Christina didn't understand her own beauty. Her true beauty was deep inside. It shone through in her acts of kindness, her perfectly unique view of the world. She was uniquely and wonderfully beautiful.
Christina leaned back snuggling into her boyfriend. The two teens just delighted in each other's presence. At some point, Scooby wandered in followed by Fluffy and Thunder. Scooby studied Christina and Shaggy while the wolves stretched out on the floor. Scooby had been right, their hands did fit together perfectly. They fit together perfectly. In the two and a half months that Shaggy and Christina had been dating Scooby had never once felt left out. Sure, the two went on dates by themselves but Christina also enjoyed hanging out with Scooby. She brought him all kinds of baked goodies, always included him in conversations and she gave the best belly rubs! Seriously the best.
"Stay the night," Christina sighed as she looked up at Shaggy with pleading eyes.
"Like, of course, I will,"
…...
Meanwhile, Madelyn Dinkley was one very excited girl. Her sister, Velma and her friends were coming. Of course, if Velma's friends were coming then that Shaggy was coming. Madelyn spun around her dorm happily. Shaggy was coming. Sweet, sweet, Shaggy. Maybe she could finally win his affection. That would be the greatest thing to happen to her ever. She could hope.
…...
The next morning, Christina woke up in Shaggy's arms. She was so happy. Christina tried to wriggle out of his grasp without waking him so that she could make him breakfast but, Shaggy tightened his grip on her.
"Don't leave" he mumbled.
"What about breakfast?"
"Turn around,"
Christina complied and Shaggy started to kiss her.
"Like, this is the best kind of breakfast,"
"I agree,"
They remained where they were in bliss. That was until Fluffy and Thunder decided to join them. Thunder, in particular, jumped on the bed and crawled his way up to them. Draping himself over his mistress and licking her desperately pleading for her attention
"Can't you see I'm busy here, Thunder?" Christina giggled, lazily stroking his silky black fur.
"Like, yeah she's busy," Shaggy agreed patting the wolf on his head earning a lick.
Shaggy was very thankful that Christina's guardians accepted him. He knew from experience that wolves were very protective. He suspected that's why Dracula had bought them for Christina in the first place. Everyone who was even remotely close to the family knew that Dracula himself was very, very protective of his niece, being that she was his brother's only child. Now, however, Shaggy was there. He would protect Christina or die trying. Christina was his to watch over and protect.
If anything were to happen to her he would positively die. Break into millions of little shards and die. This beauty was his life.
"Shaggy, I want actual food now," Christina informed him.
"Pancakes?"
"Pancakes sound awesome,"
"Then stay put,"
"No, I'm helping,"
"You're staying put,"
"Shaggy please," Christina pleaded, grabbing Shaggy by the arm and pulling him back onto the bed.
"No, you stay put young lady," Shaggy ordered, breaking out of Christina's grip.
"But Shaggy-"
"You are staying put, Christina"
"Fine,"
Christina laid back down snuggling into the sheets. Shaggy pressed a kiss to Christina's forehead and left to make pancakes. Christina only stayed in bed for five more minutes before she kicked off the blankets, swung her legs over the side of the bed and stood up. Slipping on her bunny house slippers and wrapping herself in her fuzzy pink robe she opened the door and plodded down the stairs and went to the kitchen.
"I thought I told you to stay in bed."
"I don't listen,"
"Clearly,"
…...
Later that day they all piled into the Mystery Machine. Christina actually hadn't gone on that many adventures with the gang and they were happy to have her along. The only thing was that Fluffy and Thunder had to be brought along because the Hunch Bunch couldn't handle them by themselves.
Scooby and the wolves settled into the back with Christina and Shaggy. After an hour Fred and the girls were wondering why everyone was so quiet back there given that usually Scooby and Shaggy would be stuffing their faces and fighting over snack food at this point. So, Daphne peered over the seat in curiosity and what she saw made her say "Awe". Christina and Shaggy were snuggled next to each other fast asleep while the wolves acted as living blankets. Scooby meanwhile, was digging into a box of Scooby Snacks.
"They're so cute together," she said as she turned back.
"Yes, I think they're a good match," Velma nodded.
"So, how did your sister take the news that Shaggy has a girlfriend?" Fred questioned as the magic school came into view.
"Uh, I actually forgot to tell her," Velma replied.
"Well, she's in for a surprise then,"
…...
Madelyn eagerly awaited the gang at the school. She nearly jumped for joy as the Mystery Machine came to a stop. Fred and the girls were first out and she greeted them all with hugs. Then Shaggy hopped out of the back followed by Scooby and a pair of wolves? Before Madelyn could ponder this or rush to give Shaggy a hug he turned back to the van and extended a hand. Madelyn watched in shock as a girl stepped out. Madelyn had never seen her before. She wore a lavender tee shirt, blue jeans and converse shoes. Madelyn was caught off guard at the sight of the dark sparkly wings and the fangs, however, her stomach dropped when this mystery girl gave Shaggy a kiss in thanks.
Shaggy wrapped an arm around her waist and joined the others.
"Shaggy, who's this?" Madelyn asked quietly.
"Like, this is Christina, my girlfriend,"
His GIRLFRIEND!
"It's nice to meet you, Madelyn," Christina greeted kindly.
"Nice to meet you too,"
" Madelyn, have our guests arrived yet?" Whirlen asked appearing out of then air.
"Pleasure to see you again, Whirlen," Fred greeted as the headmaster of the school approached.
"Pleasure to see you guys too," Whirlen responded.
Then Whirlen caught sight of Christina.
"You're a-"
"Hybrid, my name's Christina,"
"It's wonderful to meet you, Christina,"
"Nice to meet you too,"
"Shall we go inside?" Whirlen asked as the drawbridge lowered.
And so the adventure has started.
