"SCOOOOOB!!!!" Scooby had barely laid down, before opening his eyes moments after Velma disappeared into the school.

"RAGGGYYY!!!!!!" Scooby exclaimed, running to his master that just emerged from the school. They met in the middle of the schoolyard.

"I'm sorry you've been stuck outside, Scooby. Here." He took an apple from out of his pocket and handed it to Scooby, who devoured it, licking his lips afterwards. "Sorry I don't have any French fries... or a yummy sub... all they really serve is fruits and vegetables. And mystery meat, yuck! But I'll try to check on you every hour, okay? I'll come out during lunch, too, and give you some more snacks."

Shaggy looked behind him as the late bell rang. "Oops... I'll be late to Chem.... Well, seeya later buddy!" He patted his friend on the head before heading back to class. Scooby whimpered for a little while after his master disappeared, but was soon lulled to sleep from the sun, and was thankful to be in the shade.

A few hours later, Velma came out carrying a few books in front of her. She practically stumbled down the front stairs from not being able to see, and her glasses fell off. Scooby noticed, having just woken up, and rushed to the sidewalk where they had fallen. He gingerly picked up the glasses and went back to the tree, where Velma had set her books down. "Thank you." She said, a smile on her face after taking the glasses back. She cleaned them with her orange sweater, and then put them back on before taking the brown paper lunch bag that was set on top of her textbooks and opening it, bringing out some water, a slice of apple pie, and a sandwich.

She began to eat, propping up a textbook and reading it while she ate her sandwich. Scooby watched, his mouth watering from the sight of that apple pie... just sitting there. "Oh... so you like apple pie, then, huh? Well, here. You can have it. This sandwich will more than fill me up, anyway." Velma handed him the slice of apple pie, and he swallowed it whole. Velma laughed, amazed at his appetite.

"I see you've made a new friend, Scooby." Shaggy exclaimed sitting down next to them. "Raggggyyy....." Shaggy laughed, handing Scooby half of his sandwich.

"Hi, Shaggy. This is your dog?" Velma asked, taking her eyes off of her text.

"Yep. My buddy, ol' pal. We're like two peas in a groooovy pod." He exclaimed, biting into his own half of sandwich.

Velma laughed. "So I see... what's his name?"

"Scooby. I've had him since he was a pup."

"He's a cute dog." Velma exclaimed, rubbing Scooby behind the ears. They talked for a full hour, before returning to class. "I just missed my library duty... oh well. Hopefully I can see you later, Scooby!"

"Hey... why don't we go to a malt shop?" Shaggy asked before they returned to school. "We'll meet back here after our last class."

"Okay, sure. There's a great one down the street, and they're dog friendly." She picked up her books, taking her crumpled paper bag and throwing it in a nearby receptacle. They said goodbye to Scooby, and then walked back together.
