A brightly painted van made its way under a large, equally bright banner hoisted up on two trees, covering an iron bar gate and proclaiming that this was the entrance to the Coolsville High School Open Evening ("Old Students Welcome!").
In the rear-view mirror, Daphne was re-curling her eyelashes (just in case) and Velma was checking that she had her glasses case and cleaning equipment with her. After their last case, she was determined that they should go everywhere with her, just in case they were needed (which, knowing Velma, they probably would be). Shaggy and Scooby in the back were saving their appetite for the part of the Open Day which had attracted them- the all-you-can-eat buffet (of course). They had only eaten seven bagels, five doughnuts and a couple of filled baguettes on the way, which was nearing fasting for them. Fred was just hoping to avoid his old teachers and stay in the background while the others went and did the things they wanted to do- for Velma, that was the event in the chemistry lab, for Daphne the dance workshop, and for Shaggy and Scooby the aforementioned buffet.
The van slipped into a parking space and Fred turned the keys in the ignition. The gang piled out and contemplated the sight of the school they had left what felt like such a long time ago. The science complex had had new whitewash put on and the entrance hall had a new set of double doors, but otherwise the school looked exactly the same, or at least it would during the day when there weren't parents and random visitors to the school and the numerous bright banners proclaiming that the Open Day was happening now.
A/N: Some of the chapters will be short, I apologise in advance- this wasn't written for so I didn't mean it to be done in chapters. Sorry again! Jazzola
