Chapter 1: Ohhh…shit

"Heh, heh, heh." Honey Syrup chuckled, "Busted."

Ginger Lightmey and Matt James looked up and crossed over to where she was looking through the newest shipment. When people were coming to Spooky Island, Ginger, Matt and Honey always got a box of things they wouldn't miss shipped to them so they knew if someone they knew was in danger of falling victim to the island. Ginger took one look at the photo and pulled it out of Honey's hands. She showed Matt. His eyebrows flew up in surprise. It was a picture of Fred Jones and Daphne Blake—high school age—in the back of the Mystery Machine, looking totally horrified. Daphne was in Fred's lap and they both had their arms around each other. Clearly they'd just been caught in a lip-lock.

"Matt, it's Fred and Daph!" Ginger exclaimed, "Do you know what this means?"

"Yes." Matt pointed, "Fred dyes his hair blonde. I always wondered why his eyebrows were darker than the rest of his hair."

"Not that, you twit." Ginger groaned. Then she got distracted and looked down, "Oh! Did you know Fred and Daph were together at one point?"

I take it you know these guys?" Honey asked.

"They're Mystery Inc." Ginger said, "Or they were. I still don't know what split them up. Do you, Matt?"

"Clueless." He shrugged.

"Well, then." Honey handed them a yearbook photo of the whole gang and Scooby-Doo, "Maybe when they arrive, you can ask them."

"That's what I'm worried about right there." Ginger said, "They haven't so much as even looked at each other—except for Shaggy and Scooby—for two years now. Why are they all coming?"

Honey went to her computer and hit a few keys. Then she looked at Ginger critically.

"They were invited."
