(A/N: I don't own and read last chapter.)

Previously:

"You're not supposed to be on school property when you're suspended! That's another week of suspension for you all." Principal Quinlan said more than slightly fed up with the gangs repeated disregard of the rules. As she stormed off, Principal Quinlan smirked. Velma had spent more time at school than usual during the month her 'friends' had been gone and when Quinlan questioned her about it the orange wearing girl had spilled everything. Velma was like a niece to the principal and Quinlan was more than happy to punish the gang for abandoning her.

Now:

"Okay so what do we know about Velma and what all happened to her during the month I've been gone?" Fred asked the other three members of the team that were there as they met in the Bloody Steak to discuss Velma and the others.

"She got a driver's license and motorcycle." Daphne piped up starting them off, even though her jaw was cracked.

"Like, she's friends with Cassidy and Hot Dog Water." Shaggy added in while Scooby focused on eating instead of answering.

"And she's apparently been learning how to fight." Fred added in himself as he recalled the rather one sided fight between Velma and Bayner Hotner in his Crybaby Clown outfit.

"And she knows you four so well that your conversation wasn't exactly a secret." Velma said over the booth of the tables causing Marcy and Cassidy to snort at the startled looks and exclamations that this got from the Mystery Inc. gang but Scooby, who had smelled them easily from the moment they walked in.

"How'd you know we were here? Some kind of tracker or tracer?" Daphne asked resentful for what had happened earlier that day at school.

"No need for one. You seem to forget that I know you all better than anyone else save for each other, I knew you guys would most likely come here to try and figure out what happened to me over the month you've all been ignoring me." Velma said smirking at them while Marcy smirked smugly at Daphne from over Velmas shoulders.

"What are you going to do about Marcy cracking my jaw then!?" Daphne questions glaring at the smug freckle faced girl while Cassidy sighed before digging in her pocket for something or another. The other three human members of Mystery Inc. the second tensed, thinking it to be a weapon of some kind only to face plant anime style when Cassidy pulled out a ten dollar bill and handed it to Velma who smirked smugly.

"Told you it was cracked." Velma said smirking smugly at the sassy woman who had gotten a haircut and a new look over the month.

"Wipe that smirk off ya face before I do it for you, baby doll." Cassidy said mock angrily while Marcy snickered at the usual byplay while next to Cassidy, Janet Nettles was sitting there shaking her head fondly as she rather calmly ate her food.

"Go ahead Cass. You know I don't mind when you do." Velma said rather playfully and causing Cassidy to grin widely at her while the rest of the Mystery Inc. gang were confused.

"Not a problem there, baby doll." Cassidy said grinning as she quickly leaned across the table and snatched Velmas lips with her own, neither female caring about all the gawking or wolf whistling they were getting for this from the others in the restraint. The kiss lasted for five full minutes before Cassidy broke it with a smirk on her face as Velma grinned widely and slightly dazed. Mayor Nettles was snickering in amusement at the looks on the other teenagers faces when Marcy pouted at Cassidy.

"Hey where's my kiss?" Marcy asked looking like a kicked puppy and causing almost everyones jaws to drop when Cassidy leaned forward again and captured Marcy's lips just like she had done Velmas. The kiss lasted for five minutes as well before Cassidy pulled away showing that Marcy was now in the same predicament as Velma, unable to stop grinning and more than slightly dazed.

"Really Cass? Try to keep them conscious when you kiss them at the least." Mayor Nettles said in amusement and fondness as she snapped her fingers in front of the two teenagers eyes for a moment with no response from either of them. The two dazed teens were snapped out of their happily dazed states, however, when Velmas cellphone started going nutty.

"Hello. Velma Dinkley of the Motorists of Mysteries here." Velma answered using the 'team name' that Mayor Nettles had came up with a few days ago.

"A house with chicken feet? We'll be right there." Velma said after listening to hysterical talking on the other end of the phone for a minute.

"Let's go girls, Scoob. We've got a case. Shouldn't take too long either so we'll be in time for the concert." Velma said standing and throwing a bag over her shoulders as she hung up the phone and shoved it into her pocket.

"Like Scooby, are you really going with them pal?" Shaggy asked looking slightly betrayed when Scooby jumped from his seat and sat at attention in front of Velma and the other girls, a small mark on his hind flank hidden from view because of his angling.

"Reah. She raved me from rhe farm plus rhey don't use me as rait." Scooby said nodding his head as Cassidy patted his head softly before leaning down and attaching a small dog helmet to Scooby's head that had a strange symbol on it as well as a picture. The symbol was some kind of weird drawing made entirely of lines and the Mystery Inc. gang couldn't see the whole thing but they could see the picture on the helmet, it was a picture of a jaguar barring its teeth while standing in front of some humans protectively.

"Alright girls, Scoob. Let's motor. We have a case to solve and a concert to get to." Velma said touching a tattoo on her right shoulder that was a kanji, the one for elemental shadow if the boy that was taking Japanese the next table over could be believed, and was six different colors. It had blue, red, purple, brown, starch white, and black in its lines while it started to glow slightly when Velma touched it, causing the tattoos on the others to glow as well. Angel touched her left shoulder which had a tattoo similar to Velmas but only in purple, Mayor Nettles touch the tattoo in red on the back of her right hand, Marcy touched the tattoo in blue on the back of her left hand, and Scooby touched the tattoo in brown on one of the black spots on his flanks.

What happened next caused everyone's jaws to drop. The glow surrounded the four girls and one dog before fading to reveal new looks for each of them.

Angel was wearing a pale purple dress that didn't limit her mobility at all and seemed to twirl in an invisible wind, had dark purple streaks in her now short hair, where her eyes were once white they were now amethyst colored, glowing light purple marks all over her body, a necklace with a glowing purple gem in the center, a golden ring on her left ring finger, light purple sandals on her feet, and lavender colored wings coming out of her back. A swirl of purple around her right hand died to show a small but elegant dagger in her hand that had a dove etched into it, that she quickly put into a dark purple sheath at her waist that had a dove etched into it as well.

Mayor Nettles was wearing a skin tight red dress that somehow didn't limit her mobility either and seemed to lick at her body as if it were flames, had blood red streaks in her hair, ruby red where the white in her eyes had once been, glowing light red marks all over her body, a spiked choker with a glowing blood colored gem in the center spike, a golden ring on her left ring finger, dark red high heels on her feet, two red horns sticking up out of her head, and a red pointed tail coming out of the lower back of her dress. A glow of red around her right hand died down as well to reveal a dark red pitch fork with a spiked handle and a snake carved into the length of its shaft.

Marcy was now wearing a dark blue loose fitting short dress that seemed to weave about as if made of water and stopped just above her knees, had dark blue streaks in her hair, sea blue where the white in her eyes once were, glowing light blue marks on her body, a shell necklace around her neck that had a glowing blue stone in the biggest one, a golden band around her left ring finger, two fins on her arms near her elbows, two more bigger fins over her knees. A swirling orb of blue around her hand dispersed to reveal a dark blue trident in her hand that had lighter blue stingers coming out of the top and an eel carved into the side.

Scooby now had on a dark brown military like dog jacket that had lots of pockets and looked like a bunch of rocks put together, had dark brown streaks on the black spots of his fur, his eyes now glowed brown-grey, he was covered in brown and brown-grey marks, a new light brown spiked collar around his neck that had a glowing brown-grey stone in between the two biggest spikes, a rather intimidating skull mask over his head where the helmet had been, his teeth and claws were now much sharper and his tail now had spikes sticking out of it. A brown glow near his paws died down to reveal dart launchers completely filled with darts wrapped around his legs with a small jaguar carved into them all.

Velma was now wearing a tight, but not too tight, black dress with a white flower over the chest and had blue, purple, red, and brown swirls all over it and looked to be moving, she had multiple streaks in her hair with the most prominent being a white skunk like streak in the center of her hair, where the white in her eyes used to be was black while her irises were now white with the other colors forming small rings inside of them, she was covered in marks the same color as the other four but with black and starch white added in, a necklace that fell to her collarbone and seemed to have differently colored glowing beads on it with the white and black ones being bigger than the others but barely, a golden band on her left ring finger, purple wings coming out of her back, a red tail coming out of her lower back, blue fins on her knees, brown claws in place of her finger nails, and the left half of her skin was now starch white while the right was black as ink. A white glow around her right hand died down to reveal a white gun with black 'veins' on it, a black angel carved into it, and the word Tenshi etched into the butt of the gun. A black glow around her left hand died down to reveal a black gun with white 'veins' on it, a white devil carved into it, and the word 'Akuma' carved into the butt of it.

"Alright let's motor. We have a case to solve." Velma said holstering her guns besides hips and heading for the door, leaving a bunch of drooling boys and jealous, if not blushing, girls in her wake and her team half a step behind. The remaining three members of Mystery Inc. were gapping just as much as everyone else before realizing that the group was leaving, to go solve a mystery no less!, and followed them. They were trying to be sneaking about it, but they failed miserably.

"Let's see if these stalkers can keep up shall we?" Mayor Nettles asked slipping Cassidy's helmet over her head, two holes in the top making sure that her horns weren't uncomfortable, as Marcy was putting Velmas helmet on. Scooby was sitting patiently in a little side car hooked onto Cassidys bike that Mayor Nettles was sitting on while Marcy began to rev up Velmas bike as the two winged women flew overhead and a little ways in front in order to show the way, and keep an eye on the three on 'ground patrol' as Cassidy once called it.
