Hey everyone!! Sorry, I have not updated lately, but I have not been writing, we had a formal dance & graduation and I have been preoccupied. This might be my last chapter for a week or so cause I'm soon going to be in the process of moving out & will be without a computer as of next week, I will still write though, and will type it up when I am settled, which won't be too long. Thanks again Kate Ferns for your constant support!!

Daphne walked slowly up her driveway thinking over the days events. She was overjoyed that Fred was interested in her but she felt a little guilty by deserting the rest of the gang like that. So she ran inside and up the stairs to her bedroom, the size of a hotel suite. The redhead then picked up the phone and flopped down on the bed, she dialed the all too familiar number to the Dinkley house. Velma answered "Hello Dinkley Residence."

"Velms, its Daphne!" Daphne said sounding guilty. "Look Velma, I was with Fred this afternoon, not at home, I'm so sorry I should have told you…."

"I know, Daph, I saw you guys, and its not big deal, I'm happy your together and its kinda fun to get Shaggy to myself…"

"I never said we were together and Velms is there something between you and Shaggy?!" Daphne giggled.

"No way!" Velma giggled back.

"Ha Ha I can hear you blushing through the phone line… don't worry Shaggy's all yours!" Daphne said.

This girl talk went on for at least an hour until Velma had to surrender the phone to her sister. Meanwhile Fred was throwing a football with his Dad. "Hey Dad, um well, what's a good gift for a girl to tell her you like her, my friend from school was wondering and I don't really no so yeah this kid asked me…" Fred said really really fast.

Bill Jones chuckled and went along with Fred's story. "Well you can't go wrong with flowers, or buy her a drink or something."

"Yeah he already bought the girl a drink, so flowers are good??" Fred said tossing the football.

"Yep flowers and around prom time ask her and get her a corsage girl's love that kind of stuff." Mr. Jones said giving the football another toss at his son.

That night Daphne fell asleep and began to dream it was her wedding day and there was Fred but then Irene was the flower girl and the cake broke and Fred went off with Velma and she got stuck with Scooby. Daphne woke up sweating, seven minutes after she fell asleep! The next morning she waited for Fred but he wasn't there on time, she waited ten minutes more but then she decided she had to walk or else she'd get an unexcused tardy.

Everything was going wrong for Fred he woke up later than he planned and then he couldn't find his clean shirt. So he ended up wearing and old Beatles concert shirt of his dad's, then he had to search for his warm up jacket as to cover up the shirt cause he wasn't sure Daphne would like him in a Beatles shirt! He didn't have time to eat breakfast because he needed to run to the pharmacy to buy Daphne a bouquet of flowers. When he finally got there he had to piece together coins to buy the prettiest bouquet because he ran out of bills. Then holding the bouquet in one hand and his history book in the other he took off running toward the Blake mansion. When he finally arrived there Daphne had already left so out of breath he kept running until he saw her slender figure walking all alone almost at school.

"DAPHNE!!!!" He called getting her to turn around.

"Fred!" she called back and began to run toward him and ignoring the fact he had Paul McCartney's face on his shirt she gave him a big huge hug.

"Hey Daph, um these are for you, they reminded me of um your beauty…" He said kicking himself for how lame he sounded.

"Awww Freddie, I swear you are the sweetest boy in the world, I'm a really lucky girl." she said taking the flowers and kissing him on the cheek.

"and I'm a lucky guy.." Fred thought. Suddenly all the problems Fred had melted away and his day became perfect.

Please review!! Thanks!
