A group of teenagers and a dog were sitting around a campfire. The camp site was in northern California. The teens had been friends all throughout high school. The group had just finished high school and felt they deserved a well needed break. The group had bonded over their adventurous hobby of solving mysteries while quenching their unbelievable thirst for trouble. Velma was the most curious of the group. The teens were known as local heroes in their town. There was even a statue of Scooby Doo, the hero dog. The gang had sent many criminals behind bars. They were undoubtedly making the world a better place. Velma scooted closer to Shaggy on a tan log to the right of the tent. The night was cool with a clear sky. The moon seemed so large and beautiful, almost if it were trying to dance with the star. A perfect night to go star gazing Velma thought.
"Shaggy, don't you think the view of the stars is amazing up here?" asked Velma.
"Like sure is Velms" agreed Shaggy.
"we should go on a night walk to gaze at the stars in the valley!" suggested Velma.
"um like it sure is dark away from the fire" whimpered Shaggy.
"Don't worry, I'll bring my flashlight. Come on, Lets go!" She insisted. Grabbing Shaggy's hand, leading the way.
Scooby got up to follow. Although Fred knew Shaggy and Velma could use so privacy. He grasped Scooby's collar and gave him a Scooby snack. Fred proceeded to walk the Dane to his tent. Quickly returning to Daphne. He sat down on the wooden bench next to her. Putting his arm around Daphne.
"You know, I'm really go to miss you Daph." he said looking into her eyes. The way the light hit them her eyes almost looked purple.
Daphne grabbed his other hand and gave a small grin. She whispered "Get used to it." She got up and walked slowly to her tent with her head up high. She had been too many times waiting for Fred to finally make his move. She thought of the moment often when he would. Now that he is leaving, just the though of her best friend starts to send shivers down her back.
Its cold and dark outside without the light and warmth of the fire. Shaggy and Velma stay close together. When the two approach the valley they spot a dear run. Such beauty as the moonlight seems like a spotlight on the creature. Shaggy smiles to himself, then turns to Velma.
" Velma, you're amazing." Shaggy said with such compassion.
Velma blushed "Jinkies Shaggy. I could say the same about you."
He put his hand on her cheek. Slowly grazing his thumb on her soft fare skin. His touch felt even better then she imagined. She closed eyes. Shaggy leaned closer. Velma could feel the tension building. Suddenly there was a great tremble within the earth. An earthquake maybe. The two quickly sat down on the moist grass. There was no movement. They turned to each other and began to laugh with relief. Their gaze lingered for a moment. It had felt like the world had stopped for the two tension between them was overwhelming. Velma lunged out towards Shaggy, lips puckered. Right before she reached his lips she stopped and waited for his lips to reach hers. She was close enough to feel his facial hair brush her face. Shaggy licked his lips and lightly placed them on Velma's. The kiss felt genuine and innocent. When Shaggy pulled his lips away Velma swore she could still feel them. She Blushed as she looked at him with her big brown eyes. This was Velma's first kiss.
