The trio ordered their usual from Burger Palace, enjoying spending time together and just hanging out.

"So, when can we meet this guy, Velms?" Shaggy grinned.

"Yeah," Scooby mumbled with his mouth full of cheeseburger.

"You're gross," Velma poked playfully. "And chill out guys, I haven't even gone on a date with him yet, though I'm hoping it's a hot one." Her cheeks flushed slightly.

"We're just teasing," Scooby said, "but when is it?"

Velma grinned, "It's tomorrow. And I have no clue what to wear or how to do my hair."

The two boys looked at each other cluelessly. "We don't ever have that problem Velms. I'm not sure if me and Scooby would be much help in that department."

She put her hands on her hips, "Oh you two. Don't worry I'm not expecting you guys to go all glitz and glam on me, I was just sharing my thoughts. That's Daphne's forte anyway."

"Speaking of which, she's calling me right now, sorry I'm taking this real quick."

The guys both waved it off because it was no trouble really.

"Daphne, slow down, what's going on?" Velma tried to slow her fast talking redheaded friend down.

"VELMA! I think I met your future boyfriend today! Alexei Gorduollo right?! Gahhhh, he's sexy, don't get jealous Fred. I'm just having girltalk."

Velma flushed considerably. "Why? How? What did you say to him?" She swore the both of them were like teenagers when they partook in girltalk.

"God no," She could practically picture Daphne rolling her eyes with her statement. "Chill out girl, I didn't tell him you want to fuck him or anything if that's what you're worried about. He came in with a proposition, like a work one."

Velma was confused, "What type of work? His last name is Gorduollo, that's pretty sexy actually."

Daphne laughed out loud, "You didn't know his last name? What the hell, Velma. Shaggy told me about you guys' rule, trust me Velma Gorduollo is fucking hot."

Daphne continued, "The work was, oh my God, can we all meet in person? As in you, me, Freddy, Shaggy, and Scooby? It kind of pertains to all of us. If we accept the job, that is."

"Not right now, but when would be good? I'm free anytime I'm not working."

Shaggy and Scooby both screamed at her at the same time, causing onlookers to give them dirty looks. They were still in public after all, "You have a date tomorrow!"

"Oh right!, So anytime before or after my date." Velma said, relaying the time to Daphne.

"Hah", she laughed, "if the date goes well enough I doubt anyone will be talking afterwards."

"Daphne." Velma warned, "Don't jinx it."

"I won't, but seriously let's all meet day after tomorrow at Fred and mine's place."

Shaggy heard because Velma had switched to speakerphone by now, "No eating out at a restaurant?" Scooby's face deflated.

"It's kind of not a conversation I want to have in public guys. But don't worry I'll cook something good and maybe Velma can even help if you don't mind some burnt food particles."

"Daphne! That was one time 3 years ago." Velma was irritated at her friend's complete lack in her cooking abilities.

"I know that silly I just like teasing you, gotta run, the man's getting cranky. Meow!" Daphne hung up from her end.

"It's always hilarious hearing from her, isn't it guys?"

"Yeah, I wonder what she's going to talk to us about."

"I don't know guys, but I really hope Alexei's not needing to be bailed out of any kind of legal trouble or something. That's most of the cases Daphne and Fred get, you know?" Velma pursed her lips. She knew her new potential beau or whatever was too good to be true.

"Let's enjoy the meal," Shaggy said, "We'll worry about that mess later, right now, more fries on the way!"

Velma and Scooby nodded and continued the meal, spirits effectively lifted.

A/N: I know it was a lot of dialogue, but more of the meat of the story will be included next time so to speak, so eagerly anticipate it! Also, thanks to my reviewer, you rock!
