"I think we should split up." Daphne said. "Good idea!" Fred exclaimed. "I'll go with Beau." Daphne said, "Bad idea." Fred replied, jealously. "I'll go with Beau." Velma said, "I won't let him out of my sight." She whispered to Fred.
Fred and Daphne walked through the woods, Daphne annoyed that she had to go with Fred instead of Beau. I wasn't because she liked Beau, she was in a relationship with Fred, but she was just trying to make Fred jealous, it was working but he was flirting with Lena. Daphne couldn't tell if it was because he was trying to make her jealous or if he liked Lena; she hoped for the sake of their relationship that Fred was just trying to make her jealous.
She had to admit that Beau was cute, but there was something about Fred that made her heartbeat every time he looked at her. Daphne didn't want Fred to like Lena, she wanted him to li-love her, and it broke her heart to think that Fred didn't love her anymore.
"Why did you want to go with Beau?" Fred asked. "Why did you say it was a bad idea?" Daphne asked. "I asked first." Fred said, "You and I pair off with each other every time." Fred said. "Maybe you'd like it better if I were Lena." Daphne said, she hadn't meant to say it, but she did.
"What?" Fred asked, annoyed as he looked at her. "Oh please Fred. Ever since we met her in town, you've been flirting with her non-stop!" Daphne said annoyed too. "What?" Fred asked, confused. "Don't deny it!" Daphne exclaimed. "You've been flirting with Beau!" Fred exclaimed. "All I said was he was cute." Daphne said. "You don't think that's flirting?" Fred asked sarcastically. "No, because he wasn't there when I said it!" Daphne said angrily, then she sighed, Fred sighed.
"I'm sorry." He said with honesty, Daphne took a deep breath, "I'm sorry too." She said. "Why were you flirting with her?" She asked, "Do you like her?" She studied his face, and he looked away from her.
'He doesn't love me anymore, he likes Lena.' She thought, feeling tears welling in her eyes.
"To make you jealous." Fred said. "What?" She asked, he looked into her eyes. "I'm sorry, you've been so focused on work lately, we've hardly spent alone time together." Fred said. "So, you thought you'd flirt with another girl to make me jealous because we haven't spent anytime together?" Daphne asked. "What else could I do? Your work has taken over your life and our relationship. I tried talking to you, but Americana has been tough on you to get this second season reading for airing." Fred said.
He felt guilty for making her jealous and causing this friction between them, but he felt better to get what he needed to say off his chest.
Daphne felt guilty, she was so consumed with work to focus on Fred, how did she not realise?
"I only invited the gang, not just because you missed them, but because I was hoping you'd forget about work for a bit." Fred said, Daphne sighed. "I'm so sorry, Freddie. I didn't realise." She said, looking away from him as she felt a tear roll down her cheek, Fred put the camera on the ground and cupped Daphne's face with his hands, gently wiping the tear away, Daphne looked into his eyes.
"I'm sorry I made you jealous, I'm sorry I flirted with Lena." He said, and he pulled her in for a hug, she wrapped her arms tightly around him. "I'm sorry, Freddie. This is all my fault. I should have known you needed me more than a TV series." She said, holding him tighter. "Come on, let's find Shaggy and Scooby." He said, taking her hand and picking the camera up, they carried on into the woods.
Hours later, on the dock, Daphne and Fred stood watching the sunset, her arms wrapped around his arm, "You know, Fred. With all the zombies and cat creatures gone," she began as her hand slid into his, "this is a pretty romantic spot." She smiled. "Yeah, it sure is." He smiled at her.
"Since we lost the camera with all our evidence, we have a lot more work to do than before, but I was thinking we could go away for a week or two, just you and me." She said, a smile spread across his face, "Where?" He asked, "Anywhere you want." Daphne said, he smiled at, before he leant down and gently pressed his lips against hers.
"Come on guys, time to go!" Velma exclaimed.
