Chapter 2 this chapter will be a combination of a tribute to Scooby Doo and my own cat. My cat Taz who I discover while I was away on break died. She was given to my grandmother when we moved and my grandmother never gave her back. So here is to you Taz. I hope you are happy where ever you are. I will miss you and your sisters that have passed before you.

I own nothing

Shaggy was in a somber mood. Today was the day that a memorial service was being held for Scooby Doo. He was not going to cry not to act manly or tuff but because he had already cried. He had no more tears at this moment. Plus Scooby would not want him to cry anymore.

The memorial was at the Ghoul School. Like Shaggy Scooby was a legend at the school. Some of the canine girls had crushes on him as well. Shaggy stood at the altar in the school's church. Yes the school had a church a place where all could practice their faith no matter what it was. Some of the girls did not believe and that was fine.

Services were held every week. You could go if you wished. If you did not wish to go then you did not have to go. If you did not go then you could study or use the gym. Sibella had it put in since she was deeply religious. She prayed daily and attended church ever weekly. All of the teachers did. Everyone was dressed nicely to honor Scooby.

Shaggy got up and said. "Scooby Doo was labeled as many things. Some called him a coward. Some called him a dog that liked to eat a lot." He took a pause to prevent himself from breaking down any further. He went on to say. "However none of that was true. Yes he did run form danger and yes he enjoyed food but he was no coward. He was brave and strong. He had a heart that few can equal."

Shaggy said after a pause. "He was my friend and he was always there for me. He died in a tragic attack but he went down fighting. I want all to honor his memory." One by one the teachers of the school gave their thoughts on Scooby Doo. All said different things but for the most part they talked about how Shaggy and Scooby helped them see who they really were.

Before the services ended Shaggy said. "My friend I will miss you. I want to thank you for all that you have done. For keeping me sane and happy over the years and for making me feel like I was someone." The service was done after that. Shaggy had no class to teach so he went to visit someone.

He went to visit Scrappy Doo. Scooby did not die right away he had one request for Shaggy. Shaggy was on his way to a prison. Sibella went with him to give emotional support. After going through all the channels he was given the right to speak to Scrappy.

Scrappy Doo was in an odd mood. He had been in jail for four years since the whole Mystery Island event. In which he tried to kill all of his former friends. While in jail he had a lot of time to think and reflect. During that time he saw what he had done was not only wrong it was beyond that. The first year in jail he was filled with rage.

The second year he started to feel the regret. He was alone so it came as a shock when he was told he had two visitors. It came as an even bigger shock when he saw that the visitors were Shaggy and Sibella. The trio was given privacy. Scrappy said. "To what do I owe this visit? I am happy about it but confused."

Shaggy said. "I bring bad news and a message if you will. Your Uncle is dead." Shaggy then told Scrappy in detail what had happened. Sibella was there giving him the support he needed. Scrappy at the end was crying. Shaggy said after Scrappy had stopped crying. "He had a message for you. Would you like to hear it?"

Scrappy nodded his head that he would like to hear it. Shaggy said. "Your Uncle told me to tell you that he loved you and has forgiven you. He hopes that someday you can find the peace within yourself." Scrappy cried and thanked Shaggy. Before he was taken back to his cell Sieblla said. "Scrappy you get out in a three years. You will always have a home with us however if you chose to come and if you hurt the girls I will kill you." Shaggy and Sibella left Scrappy who had a lot of thinking to do.

It had been a year and half since that day. Shaggy was doing better. He was able to now move about his day without much effort. He still missed Scooby since Scooby was his first friend but he no longer cried. He also was missing a mate. He had yet to find anyone worthy. He had dated a few women in the town that was ten miles from the school.

Ruby was in Sibella's office and she had just given an ideal to the headmistress. The idea was to have her big sister come and act as a security guard. Sibella said. "Ruby my dear I am not as old as Shaggy but I have been headmistress enough years to know that you are hiding something. It has to do with your sister and Shaggy. Now please do not lie to me." It was true about the age the teachers were about 22 and Shaggy was about 30 years old but he looked younger thanks to the wolf's blood.

Ruby said. "You are right headmistress I have another motive and it does involve Mr. Shaggy." Sibella said very calmly but Ruby knew she was not. "What are you planning?" Ruby said. "My sister is feeling the same way he is." Sibella softened when she heard this.

Ruby said. "Both need love or a mate. I think they will be perfect for each other. Even if they are not perfect as mates they can be friends that can help each other." Sibella said. "This plan of yours has a lot of setbacks. It could cause both to be very mad at you."

Ruby said at this point she was close to tears. "I know but I need to do it for them. My parents were killed after I was born. It was my sister that took care of me. She watched over me taught me how to hunt and survive. She got me into this school so that I can fit into the human world." She took a pause to control herself and to get her thoughts together.

She said after a pause. "I have always felt like a monster. All of us do and he has helped and shown us that it not the case. Mr. Shaggy and my sister have given me so much I want to give them each other. I can feel it. This is the right thing. If it fails and they both hate me and never want to speak to me again I am willing to take that risk."

Sibella thought about it. She had met Ruby's older sister a few times and she was a nice woman. She might be what her brother needed. She also knew her brother was what Ruby's sister needed. It was risky very risky but she had learned that in life risk had to be taken. So she said. "Very well I shall call her and offer her the job. Be patient Ruby things like this take time to grow. Both are hurting love will not be easy or quick."

Ruby thanked Sibella and left the office. She had to get some work done. She knew it was the right thing to do. She went to the church and started to pray. She said softly. "Mom please let this plan work. Please help them. I know this will work please help it to work." A soft breezes of wind blew into the sealed room.

End of chapter. Sorry it took so long having trouble and school work.
