Author's Note:
Well folks, this is the last story of the season. But don't worry! We have a pretty exciting Scooby-Doo story up next and I think you'll like it. Here's the new story right now!
Our story opens up in the city of Crystal Cove, where Shelly is sleeping soundlessly, holding onto her stuffed bunny, and sucking her thumb.
"Shelly, wake up sweetie..." whispered her mother. "Wake up honey...time to get up..."
Shelly groaned before turning around and tried to sleep some more.
"Sweetie...wake up..." Marylin bent down and started kissing Shelly's forehead.
Shelly fluttered her eyes and woke up. "Mommy?"
"Welcome home, sweet pea." Marylin smiled.
"Momma? Is that you?" She leaped into her mother's arms. "Oh momma! I had the most horrible dream! My friends and I were lost at sea and we ended up in Australia, and a mean red haired girl tried to hurt me! It was horrible!"
"Well you're home now, dear." Marylin said soothingly. "That's all it matters now."
"Oh mommy...I never want to leave again..." Shelly said as she hugged her mother.
"Well you're going to have to right now, cause you have school in an hour." said Marylin. "Now go get ready and get going."
Shelly groaned internally before she reluctantly got up.
She brushed her hair, fixed her makeup, put on her clothes, grabbed her school bag, and went downstairs to meet Bubbles.
"Morning Shelly, here's a nice, tasty bagel with cream cheese to eat before we go." Bubbles said as she handed her a bagel.
"Perfect." Shelly nodded as she took the bagel and started eating.
"Goodbye girls, now have a good day at school." Marylin said as she kissed both the girls' foreheads.
Shelly nodded. "See you after school, Mom."
"Bye auntie." Bubbles waved goodbye.
The girls walked to school and on their way, they saw Biff and Daniel right ahead of them.
"Hey guys." Bubbles called out.
"Hello ladies." Biff said.
"Yo! What's happening?" Daniel made a 'cool' sign with his hand.
"We're walking to school, that's what happening, silly." Bubbles giggled.
"Of course." Biff deadpanned.
"Don't pay any attention to her, sweetie." Shelly grabbed onto Biff's arm. "Now where's my kiss?"
Biff kissed Shelly's cheek and put his arm around her shoulder. "Come on, let's go."
The four then headed to school.
"So Shell, did you sleep well?" Biff asked his girlfriend.
"If you call having a strange bizarre dream 'well', then I guess I did." Shelly shrugged.
"Glad to hear." Biff smiled.
The four finally entered the school, where everybody stopped what they were doing and started staring at them like they saw a ghost or something.
"Hey, what's everybody looking at? They look like they've seen a ghost or something." Bubbles remarked as they walked down the halls.
"Maybe they've become intimidated and betwitched by my beauty." Shelly made a snooty smile.
"Or maybe because they are surprised to see us back after we were lost at sea for so long." Clamhead remarked.
"Lost at sea? You mean that wasn't a dream?" asked Shelly.
"No, it wasn't." Biff deadpanned.
"Aw crepes!" Shelly deadpanned.
Next thing the kids knew, they were in the principal's office.
"So, I see you kids have finally returned to school!" She said. "I hope you have a good explanation!"
"Abba ba baba we do, Prinicpal Quinlan..." Clamhead stammered. "Uh...Biff...you tell her!"
Biff stared at the principal nervously.
"Well?" Prinicpal Quinlan glared at him.
Biff swallowed and shared looks with his friends. "Well...uh...we got uh...lost at sea for days, went to an undersea kingdom, ended up Australia, and then, Dr. Quest took us back here!"
"I don't want to hear excuses! I want answers!" Quinlan said sternly. "So tell me, why weren't you in school last week?!"
Before Biff could come up with something, it was Daniel who stepped in.
"Well, Principal Quinlan, to put things simply, we went out for a boat ride at the beach." He quickly said, and the principal turned towards him. "And we must've misjudged the maps we had and the weather report, because next thing you know, we ran out of gas and a storm was gathering and we ended up losing the map while in the middle of the sea."
"Why thank you Daniel." said Principal Quinlan. "See Mr. Wilson? This is what happens when you tell the truth and don't make excuses!"
Biff groaned and rolled his eyes. "Yeah, it is..."
"Anyhoo, since you kids have been missing for a week, you have a lot of homework and papers to catch him up on." said Quinlan. "I hope you've memorized the material, cause there is a history test this Friday."
The kids all groaned internally.
"Oh, that's going to be a lot of fun." Biff remarked.
"In that case, I strongly suggest you kids head to your classes right now and get yourselves prepared." Quinlan said.
"Yes ma'am." the kids groaned.
They got up and headed to their respective classes to catch up on their work.
Several hours later, school had ended, and Biff and Daniel were carrying tons of books and homework to their lockers.
"Dude...we so need bigger backpacks..." Daniel grunted as he carried the books.
"Or smaller textbooks..." Biff added.
"Tell me about it." Clam nodded.
After several struggles, they managed to get some of their books into their bags. While the boys headed out the door, Biff and Daniel's friends; Lance, Jason, and Leon arrived with a football in their hands.
"Hey Biff, Daniel!" said Jason. "We're going to the park to play ball! Wanna come with us?"
"Sorry Jason, we have tons of homework to catch up on." said Biff.
"Yeah, especially with the history test coming up this Friday." Daniel added.
"Yeah, that test is worth two thirds of our grade." said Lance. "And judging by all that work, it would take all night to catch up and study."
"Well, you'd better get to it! We're going to the park! Peace!" Leon said as he and the guys headed to the park.
"See you guys!" Daniel did a peace sign in response before joining Biff and continued on to the main door.
The boys walked outside to meet the girls.
"Thank goodness you're here, sweetie. You're in time to help carry my books!" Shelly put her textbooks onto Biff's stack.
"Oh, this is just great..." Biff grumbled.
"Well, Biffy and I are going to have a little study date at his place, what are you guys gonna do?" said Shelly.
"We're going to the beach to study marine biology for a project we missed in our class, and we think Jabberjaw might be the perfect tutor." said Clamhead.
"Well you have fun with that blubbery buffoon, Biffy and I have some more important matters to attend to." Shelly said. "I am not repeating the same grade!"
"Of course you won't." Clam rolled his eyes.
"Well, see ya guys!" Biff said as he and Shelly headed home.
The others later arrived with Jabberjaw at the beach to start off their biology project.
"So, you say you want me to help ya with your homework?" Jabberjaw asked the kids.
"That's right, Jab." said Clamhead. "We want you to be our tutor!"
"A tutor? Now that's respect!" the shark remarked.
"Yep." Daniel nodded. "We're sure you can tutor us on marine biology."
"Sure I can." Jabberjaw said. "After all, I am a shark."
"Well for starters, what's it like to live underwater and what is down in there?" asked Daniel.
"I'll bet it's really wet with a bunch of little fishies." Bubbles giggled.
The others simply stared at her after the remark with blank looks on their faces.
Daniel sighed. "Why do we even bother?"
Meanwhile at Biff's House, Biff and Shelly finally got right down to their homework. While Shelly was having few problems, Biff was struggling.
"Something the matter, dumpling?" Shelly batted her eyelashes at Biff.
"Uh...nothing." Biff replied.
"If you say so..." Shelly scooted closer to Biff and caressed his cheek. "But...if you are having a little trouble, I could give you some...assistance..."
Biff swallowed nervously. "Well...I..."
Shelly then climbed onto Biff's lap and started to purr. "Come on sweetie. Don't you want a bit of little help? Hmm?"
Biff started to sweat and blush. "Well I...I.."
Just then, the doorbell rang.
"Huh? Who could that be?" Biff wondered.
He got up and walked to the front door.
"Drat!" Shelly pouted. "I was this close!"
She then sighed as Biff opened the front door.
It was a tall young man with spiky hair, a leather jacket, sunglasses, and some kind of jaded look on his face.
"Squirt...good to see you." the guy clicked his tongue.
Biff's eyes widened. "Roger?"

It's the start of a brand new adventure. Who could this "Roger" character be? And something tells me that the other Neptunes are going to be encountering something during their little study session. Stay tuned!
