Rachel was furious. Yet again, she had tried to win back Shaggy and yet again, she had failed. "You and I broke up because you thought I was too much work" Shaggy had reminded her. This called for desperate measures. This called for something unexpected and powerful but she needed to plan. Shaggy was going to be hers.
….
Shaggy and Christina were hanging with Christina's friends at the mall that lazy Saturday afternoon. Shaggy and Scooby were eagerly digging into their chili fries while the others talked. Christina was listening to Clawdeen and Lagoona talk about the inspiration behind their new fashion line. It was a joint project between the two; they took it seriously. Their intent was to open an online shop to sell the clothing. Currently, Christina was looking through Clawdeen's sketchbook pointing out her favorite designs to the pair.
"I like this dress," Christina was saying about a Caribbean blue sundress with pale purple ribbons attended to the straps of the dress.
"We thought you might so, we wanted to ask if you would model it for us," Lagoona explained.
"Of course," Christina cried, she was happy to be able to help her friends.
"Just remember to let me have copies of those pictures," Shaggy teased "After all, I have the most beautiful model ever for a girlfriend,"
"You and I both know that I'm no model, now, wipe your face Romeo," Christina said handing her boyfriend a much-needed napkin.
"Yes ma'am," Shaggy Joked.
"Thank you,"
"So, what store are we going to next?" Frankie asked.
"Well, the boys and I are going to the bookstore," Christina declared.
"We are?" Shaggy asked surprised.
"Yes, we are," Christina deadpanned.
"Like, let's go then," Shaggy sighed.
…..
The bookstore was one of the few stores in the mall that wasn't constantly busy. There were a few shoppers but not many which is exactly why Christina had wanted to go there in the first place. Being away from Draculaura did mean she had to put her phone on vibrate because her cousin just had to text her about everything she had tried on. Shaggy understood and used this time to tell Christina about his day while she shopped.
"Rachel tried to flirt with me again," he informed her.
"Geez is she desperate?" Christina asked.
"Like, it sure seems that way,"
"Yeah," Scooby piped.
"Oh, well what harm could she possibly do?" Christina asked cheerfully not knowing the whole truth about Rachel.
…...
Rachel paced her living room. Should she do it? It was the only way, however, so it had to be done. With a long-frustrated sigh, the young blonde marched to her bedroom throwing open her closet door. Shakily she reached up and grabbed the box off the top shelf. She needed its contents more now than ever. More importantly, she needed to plan. If she wanted to do this right she knew she needed to be prepared.
…...
Christina, Shaggy and, Scooby returned to Christina's home before the others. The boys followed Christina to her bedroom well, Shaggy did Scooby decided to go outside instead just to give the couple some space. Currently, Christina was sitting at the desk working on a watercolor painting while Shaggy watched.
"Where do you store all of your art when you're finished with it?" Shaggy asked.
"It's on a shelf in my closet,"
"Can I take a look?"
"Sure thing,"
Christina's closet wasn't a mini-mall like Draculaura's it was custom built though and had been meticulously organized. There was a shelf devoted to every type of clothing Dresses, tops, pants, skirts there was even an entire wall dedicated to Christina favorite thing Jackets. Jackets in every color, material, and style. Shaggy looked around scanning the shelves for the art supplies while Christina continued her work in the other room.
"Ladybug rainboots?" He asked.
"Yeah so?" Christina asked appearing in the doorway.
"Where is your art?" Shaggy asked deciding not to question the rainboots.
"Behind the jackets," Christina explained.
"Oh," Shaggy said as Christina pushed the jackets aside revealing sketchbooks, watercolor books, Pencil drawings taped to the wall and more.
"Mermaids?" Shaggy asked amusedly.
"Hey, I was seven," Christina cried defending the pencil sketch that showed a mermaid sleeping on a rock.
"And you apparently watched too many movies,"
"I go to school with a half mermaid," Christina pointed out.
"Okay, okay I like, get it,"
"Thank you,"
"DINNER," Dracula yelled from downstairs.
"Whoops, we lost track of time again," Christina laughed.
"Who cares?"
"Not I,"
"Ditto,"
"I love you,"
"I love you too,"
"Forever?"
"Of course, and I'll never leave,"
"Good,"
