Hello, fan-fic peoples. This is Anti Twilight Forever, introducing my very first story.
I'd like to open with a little backstory. As a kid, I LOVED mysteries, and adored all the meddling kids specials, read all the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys novels, and all those black-and-white mystery comedy-duo movies that my grandma would turn on whenever she watched me. I had a dream about being a mystery novelist, and now I have the chance to live out my dream through fan-fiction.
Okay, enough of the back-story. Without further ado, here is my story. Please enjoy, and send a review if you want, along with some constructive criticism if you'd like to share some.

It was spring in the town of Coolsville, and all the seniors in Coolsville High were preparing for Prom: the biggest dance they had left before graduation-day came, and they all went off into the real world.
A few teens walked along the halls: Freddy Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, and Shaggy Rogers. They had been spending their summers solving mysteries since Junior High, and their reputation really preceded them… especially with their dog, Scooby Doo. They called themselves Mystery Inc.
However, they weren't the only ones who got into some mishaps over their breaks. One group of siblings caught a few crooks themselves. Their names were Larry, DD, Pepper, and Dotty (Dotty being the youngest and a prodigy), and they had a pair of hounds called Woofer and Whimper that helped them out… though their dogs couldn't talk. They called themselves the Clue Club.
Another group of teens had a musical fame added to their reputation. Josie, Melody, and Valerie had started a band called The Pussycats, and would travel to different gigs with their friends Alan, Alexander, Alexandra, and their cat Sebastian, often getting mixed up in some danger along the way. Josie and Alan were the class couple, though Alexandra kept trying to steal Alan away, jealous of his relationship with Josie.
Three other teens got into a few adventures on their travels, too, but they weren't usual mystery-solvers or a band. Their lives revolved more around the race-car derby. Mark, Debbie, and Tinker had assembled Speed Buggy, the first and only talking race-car that could beat all others, and spent their summers racing on the track, all the while racing down bad guys that came their way.
There was another group of teens that stood out more from the others. Biff, Kim, Pugsy, and Fangs spent their summers traveling just like the rest of the teens, and even encountered their share of masterminds. The only thing that was slightly different about them was the fact that Fangs transformed into a werewolf named Fangface, completely unaware of it.
All these teens had their share of adventures, most of them swapping stories. Some of the leaders would go into detail about what kind of traps they had built, while the cowards would argue who had the freakiest experience. Yet with Prom on the way, they all were talking about a new mystery they all needed to solve: Who should they take?
Alan and Josie had no problem with it, but the rest sure did.
And if that wasn't enough, deep in the woods a couple of shadowed figures lurked through the trees, coming across a campsite. "Who's there?" A man asked as he was tending to his shrinking fire.
The figures only knocked him out and rummaged through his backpack, taking out a map, then ran off.

Okay, kind of a short chapter, but I just wanted to introduce what characters I'm throwing into the story. I'd explain more about the mysterious figures at the end, but it's best to leave readers pondering rather than revealing everything in the first chapter. I'll work harder on the next chapter, but like I said this is my first time on fan-fiction, so cut me some slack.
