Chapter 1

"Ok, guys." Fred said. "Daph and I have something to tell you."

The Mystery Machine stopped at a gas station on the side of the road, they were on their way to their next mystery. "Like, Fred, Scoob an' I wanna get some food! We're starving!" Shaggy exclaimed.

"We just had dinner three hours ago." Velma said. "Scoob an' I will never not be hungry." Shaggy said.

"Guys!" Fred exclaimed. "Listen, it's important." He said, "Daphne and I are getting married!"

Velma's eyes widened. "What?!" The three exclaimed in unison. "Since when?" Velma asked. "The other night." Daphne said, showing Velma the ring, Velma stared at the ring, her eyes getting wider.

"Oh my gosh!" She exclaimed, "Where did you get that?" She asked. "My grandmother." Fred said.

"Like, I love weddings!" Shaggy exclaimed, "The food, the party, the food, the drink." He said. "The food!" Scooby exclaimed.

"When are you getting married?" Velma asked. "We're not sure yet, but hopefully soon." Daphne said, Fred tenderly kissed her cheek.

"Well, congratulations guys. Like, we're happy for you." Shaggy said. "Come on, Scoob, let's get some celebratory snacks!" He exclaimed, he and Scooby climbed out of the van and they hurried into the store.

"Don't spend all day in there, we need to get moving!" Fred exclaimed, climbing out of the van to fill up the Mystery Machine.

"I'm so happy for you!" Velma exclaimed, examining the ring. "It's gorgeous isn't it." Daphne said, Velma nodded. "When did he propose?" She asked.

"Remember when we got back from Pennsylvania last week?" Daphne asked, Velma nodded, "That same night." Daphne said. "He said he wanted to do it somewhere more romantic, but he couldn't wait any longer." She said, "I've been waiting for him to ask me."

"Have you told your parents?" Velma asked. "Obviously his mom knows, she was keeping the ring in a box under her bed, but we haven't told my parents yet." Daphne said. "What do you think they'll say?" Velma asked, Daphne sighed. "I don't know, my mom and my sister are still in California, and I haven't spoken to my dad much since their divorce." She said, "He's with another woman now."

"Seriously?" Velma asked, "They only got divorced last year!"

"I know, but what do you expect, he cheated on my mom when she was pregnant." Daphne said.

The Mystery Machine drove on the winding road through Massachusetts to the small town of Edgartown.

"I can't wait to see Laura again!" Velma exclaimed. "I wonder what she wanted our help with?"

"When was the last time you saw her anyway?" Daphne asked. "We went to elementary school together, and she left just before we started middle school." Velma said, "We competed at the science fair together; we won, of course."

"Are we there yet, Fred?" Shaggy asked. "No." Fred said, "But we would a have been there hours ago if we didn't have to keep stopping."

"Like, we were hungry." Shaggy said. "On the way, we stopped at six gas stations, two diners and a drive thru McDonald's." Daphne said. "I know it was a long drive, but you slept most of the way."

Fred sighed, "We're here." He said, as they past the WELCOME TO EDGARTOWN sign.

"Laura said drive through the town, and she lives in the big house by the hills." Velma said. "Wow." Daphne said, as they drove through the town, it was like a fairy tale town; old houses, winding, narrow roads, old candy stores, and hills behind the town.

"Like, cute town." Shaggy said, eating a bag of vegetarian gummy bears.

"There it is!" Velma exclaimed, pointing to a large house, snuggled in the hills.

The Mystery Machine pulled up outside the house and the gang walked up to the front door.

Velma knocked on the door, a few seconds later it opened. "Velma?" A young woman asked; she had mousy brown hair, brown eyes and she was short like Velma. "Laura?" Velma asked.

"Oh my gosh, it's been so long!" Laura exclaimed. "It's so good to see you again!"

"Laura, this is the gang; Fred, Daphne, Shaggy and Scooby." Velma said introducing the gang, "Guys this is Laura."

"Hello." They said in unison.

"Come in." Laura said, "I'll show you what I've been working on."

The gang stepped into the large house, "Wow, do you live here by yourself?" Velma asked.

"Yes, my mother died just after I graduated from high school, so my father and I moved here." Laura said. "Sorry about your mom." Velma said. "Not to worry." Laura said.

"Anyway, dad and I moved up here, he started his own appliance repair service. It's helped so many people because they can't always afford to get their broken appliances replaced, you know how big companies are." Laura said.

"Yup." Shaggy said, "Like, when my Ma's vacuum broke, she took it back t'the store and they replaced it for another one, which broke two weeks later."

"Exactly!" Laura exclaimed, "Come with me." She said, leading the gang up the stairs and further into the house, she pushed open a door at the top of the stairs.

"What's that?" Velma asked, something big was hidden under a white sheet in the middle of the room.

"This is the reason I asked you to come here." Laura said, the gang looked at her. "I started helping dad repairing appliances, it became our business, and we started to fix more than just household appliances; cars, radiators, bikes and other things. My dad died two years ago, but I still wanted to help people." She said.

"Sorry about your parents." Velma said. "So, what's under the sheet?" Fred asked.

Laura took a deep breath, "Like I said, I want to keep helping people, not just fixing their appliances. You guys have helped hundreds of people, you've solved murder cases, rape cases, missing persons cases, and if we work together, we can help so many more people." Laura said, pulling the sheet off whatever was underneath.

"What is that?" Daphne asked.

"It's a time machine." Laura said.
