Chapter 1

The Beginning

Our third story starts on a Monday actually.

And, on this Monday the Scooby Doo Mystery Inc were finishing unloading things from their van into their recent new home and headquarters. You see, Shaggy Rogers (one of the members of the gang) had a Great Uncle Beauregard who had left all his family fortune (including the old mansion) to him. Thus; lead the gang to move into the old mansion after a run in with the old place as well as the government trying to shut it down. After a few months of moving in, the gang was stopped in their process of moving into the old house when Shaggy himself, turned into a werewolf. Yeah, that's right, an actual werewolf. But, luckily; the rest of Mystery Inc (Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley and Scooby Doo) and Shaggy's younger sister Sugie; had managed to change him back into a human and the six friends were able to live a normal life once more. However; for some reason, the gang felt like normal wasn't going to last long for when you were a group of kids who unmasked villains for a living; nothing was normal.

Oh, how right they were.

So; on this Monday; they Mystery Inc kids were finishing unloading things from their van. At the moment, it was just the small things like suitcases and extra boxes of items they had fit into the van on their last trip to Coolsville.
And, while they were unpacking their items, a local mail-man had come up to them to that day with news that neither one of the Mystery Inc gang was expecting. It went something like this…

"Excuse me, are one of the Norville Rodgers?" The mail-man wondered as soon as he climbed out of his mail truck that he had parked a few feet in front of the four kids and one dog.

Shaggy nodded his head. "Yup, that's me. How can I help you?" Shaggy wondered as he eyed the mail-man with slight interest. He could tell the mail-man seemed hesitant about the five of them as well as the area they were standing in.

"Yeah, could you sing here please for your delivery?" The mail-man asked as he held out a small electronic item.

Shaggy did as he was asked with his friends watching. "Delivery? What delivery?" Velma Dinkley asked.

Shrugging; Shaggy backed up with his friends and they continued to watch as the mail-man pulled a brown big packaged envelope. As the man handed him th package, Shaggy took and thank the mail-man.
With that, mail-man waved goodbye and hustled out of the area of the old mansion.

Once the mail truck was out of sight; Fred, Daphne, Velma and Scooby all turned to Shaggy.

"Well, what is it?" Daphne questioned suddenly while crossing her arms. Her interest was getting to her.

"Daph; you can't just demand to know." Fred instantly began only to earn an annoyed glare from Daphne. He shrugged the look off and continued, It's Shaggy's privacy. If he wants us to know; he'll tell us."
Fred explained as Daphne uncrossed her arms and placed her hands on her hips.

A moment of silence came over the group as Shaggy watched his friend's actions. "You want to know too; don't you Fred?" Shaggy wondered as he eyed his friend.

"What…. No…." Fred replied as he tried to avoid eye contact. He frowned when he saw everyone eyeing him. "Alright, fine! I do!" Fred finished with annoyance. "Happy now?" Fred demanded with a frown.

Everyone laughed. "Shag; you don't have to. It's yours. You can open it later when were done unpacking if you want." Velma explained as she eyed her friend. Sure, she asked what the delivery was earlier and she did sort of want to know like everyone else, but she didn't want her friend to feel pressured by it.

"Nah; it's cool." Shaggy replied as he shrugged and began to turn over the envelope.

Once he turned it over in his hands, Shaggy took a glance at the address form. There was an odd address on the front left corner was one he didn't recognize. But, the address in the middle was defiantly their address for the Beauregard Mansion. Opening the letter; Shaggy was surprised at all the papers he pulled out. Instantly; the rest of the gang gathered around him to try and read over his shoulder.

After a moment of silence, Scooby broke it. "Rell, rhat's rt ray?" Scooby wondered.

"It's a letter…" Shaggy trialed as he eyed Scooby who eyed his human owner in confusion. "…A letter for an invite for the graduation of Miss. Grimwoods Finishing School for Ghouls." Shaggy finished.

"Really?" Scooby wondered with slight hope and excitement as he went from two legs to four and waged his tail. "Rre re roing?" Scooby questioned as he and Shaggy eyed one another.

"Going?" Daphne wondered as she eyed Shaggy in hopes of making sure she heard her friend right. "To a graduation?" Daphne questioned as she crossed her arms in thought.

Shaggy nodded, "Yup; that's what the invite it for." Shaggy finished.

"– And, hold up." Velma demanded as everyone turned and faced her. "Did I hear you say finishing school for ghouls instead of girls?" Velma wondered she raised an eyebrow at her.

Shaggy swallowed slightly. This was one of the things; he slightly hoped his friends would never find out about. "Um, yeah. Miss. Grimwoods Finishing School for Ghouls." Shaggy finished with a nervous smile.

"Ghouls? By Ghouls you mean like, monsters, right?" Fred wondered as he frowned at the thought.

"There not really monsters though." Shaggy explained quickly. "I mean yeah, there kids of monsters; but there like, a lot friendlier then most people would think. In fact, I bet you'd all get along with them." Shaggy finished quickly as he chuckled nervously.

"And, how come you didn't tell us about this before now?" Daphne demanded as she crossed her arms.

"Yeah! Were a team, were supposed to tell each other everything." Fred stated as he frowned.

"Right, like he and Scooby told us about this old mansion or the Boo Brothers." Daphne stated as she sent an annoyed and upset look towards her friend.

"Or the fact that he was a werewolf before and knew Dracula." Velma finished with a frown as well.

Shaggy sighed, "Look guys. I didn't like tell you about these things because like – "Shaggy began as Fred interrupted him.

"Whatever the excuse is, It's not important right now." Fred stated. "What's important is finishing moving in. Then, we can all bomber Shaggy with questions about all of this later." Fred explained as everyone looked at each.

"I don't know Fred." Daphne stated with annoyance. "Only because right now; I only want to know why one of our so-called friends decided to hide secretes from us." Daphne finished as she sent a look towards Shaggy.

"Well, if you want to know; I'm sure Shaggy wouldn't have a problem explaining it to us after we finish unpacking, right Shag?" Fred questioned as he turned on his other friend and raised an eye brow at him.

Shaggy nodded, "Um...yeah." Shaggy finished as he chuckled nervously again.

"Guys; just leave Shaggy, alone would you?" Velma stated making them all turn to her. "I'm sure he and Scooby had a reason they didn't tell us about this stuff. Right now; I think we need to do what Fred suggested and we can talk about this later." Velma finished simply.

A moment of silence came over the group. "Fine." Daphne muttered as Fred nodded in agreement. Daphne turned to pick up her suitcase but stopped, turned back and pointed to Shaggy. "But this conversation, isn't over." Daphne finished.

Just like that, Daphne and Fred began to get to work on their designated task. With a mouthed thank you to Velma, Shaggy began to follow suite with Scooby helping. Together, the five friends got to work on finishing their daily task on moving everything in. While they worked, Shaggy couldn't help but wonder a few things on his own. What was the real reason he didn't tell rest of the gang about these things? And, were Fred and Daphne mad about the Ghoul Girls, the Boo Brothers and the Werewolf or were they mad at him and Scooby? Not even that, but if Shaggy asked, would Fed, Daphne and Velma even want to go to the graduation with them? With these questions in mind, Shaggy had only hoped that the explanation would go well and everything would work out in the end...

A/N - Well, there was chapter one! What did you think? Good? Bad? Should I continue? Aw man, poor Shaggy and Scooby right? They just can't seem to get a break...
