Hello and welcome to another chapter of It's Written In The Stars. Last time, Scooby showed Amber around Coolsville, including having breakfast together. Now before I begin, I decided to change the chapter names to Elton John songs since I can't put them in the story anymore. The songs that are named in the chapters were going to be in the story before I had to remove them. It's a good compromise, don't you think?
Anyway let's just get on with the story. Enjoy!
(THIRD-PERSON)
Scooby and Amber had returned from walking around Coolsville late afternoon. Amber went to go get some sleep. The rest of the gang were gathered around the living room except for Shaggy who was in the kitchen, as usual. As Amber went into Shaggy and Scooby's bedroom, Scooby came into the living room, a smile plastered on his face.
"Somebody's in a good mood…" Fred notices.
"Rehe… reah…" Scooby murmurs, not making eye contact with anyone.
Shaggy popped his head out from the kitchen. "Like, did Amber enjoy being shown around the town?"
"Reah…"
"Is Scooby okay? He seems to be… spaced out…" Fred wonders.
Daphne and Velma exchange looks at each other and giggle amongst themselves.
"Like, maybe some food will bring Scooby back to normal, right buddy?" Shaggy suggested.
"Ro rhanks, I'm rot rungry…" Scooby replied.
Those words shocked everyone. Shaggy had a little panic attack.
"Not hungry? Like, I don't know you anymore!" Shaggy said, clutching his chest.
Daphne and Velma giggled amongst themselves again.
"Guys, he's fine. But I think he's totally in L. O. V. E." Velma explains.
"Heh, looks like Scooby has a crush!" Fred said.
Suddenly Daphne had an idea. "We have to set them up on a date…" She squealed.
The word 'date' immediately sent Scooby out of his trance.
"R-R-R-Rate?" Scooby blinked.
Scooby immediately hid himself under the couch, the end of his tail wiggling on the edge of it.
Velma rolled her eyes. "What a ham…"
Shaggy emerged from the kitchen and kneeled over the couch. "Come on, Scoob… You were, like, completely head-over-heels before, a date is not going to be the end of the world..."
"I'm roo rared!" Scooby shouted from under the couch.
Daphne also knelt down. "You're not alone in this, Scoob. We can help you if you like…"
Scooby popped his head out from under the couch, a questionable look on his face. "I ron't row, Raphne…"
"Listen, Scooby. Do you like her?" Velma questioned.
"Res…" Scooby admitted.
"Then there's no harm in taking her on a date… you never know, she might like you back…"
Scooby lit up. "Really?"
"Sure, Scooby…" Velma reassured.
Scooby slowly re-emerged from the couch, he still had a questionable look.
"I'm roing ro rask rer row…" Scooby announced, confidently.
Shaggy pets his head in happiness. "Attaboy, Scoob! Go get her…"
"Ranks, Raggy…" Scooby said with a smile.
Scooby made his way towards his and Shaggy's bedroom. The other members of the gang watched in anticipation, Shaggy crossing his fingers for luck.
(SCOOBY'S POV)
I confidently strided towards Shaggy and I's room. I keep telling myself to be brave, to be brave as I made my way towards the door. I may have faced the scariest things like monsters, ghosts, demons, werewolves, vampires and zombies.
But this may be the most scariest thing ever.
I put my paw on the doorknob. Instead of opening it straight away, I hesitated.
Should I really be doing this now? After all she is asleep. Waking her up to just ask her on a date seemed a bit far-fetched.
I really liked her, more than anything. More than food and that's saying something. I didn't want things to be awkward if it all goes wrong.
But either way, I should check on her regardless due to her bad dream last night.
I took a deep breath and slowly opened the door.
There she was. Resting on my bed. She looked like an angel if it wasn't for all the shaking.
Wait a minute. Shaking!?
I quickly raced towards Amber. She started to toss and turn around, her eyes squinting hardly as if she was trying to shake something out of her head.
"Ramber!" I panicked, shaking her quickly.
She quickly awoke and looked at me. She had tears in her eyes, I couldn't tell if they were sad tears, scared tears or both.
"Rey, rou rokay?" I wondered.
She turned her head away from me and wiped her tears away. "It's nothing…"
I knew she was lying. What was she hiding? What made her so scared or sad in her sleep?
"Ras rit ranother rad ream?"
She looked at me sadly and nodded, her head slightly droopy. I realised that this didn't seem like a good time to ask her out or anything. It just didn't seem right. I didn't want her to think of me as selfish.
I pulled Amber into an embrace, it was the best thing that I could at the moment, my heart skipping a beat as her head leaned on my chest. I felt my fur getting damp around Amber's head which told me that she was crying.
"Rey… reverything's roing ro re ralright…" I said, resting my head on top of Amber's.
Amber looked up to me and smiled. "Thank… you."
Then an idea hit me. "Rey, row rabout I reer rou rup?" I suggested.
Amber raised an eyebrow. "Cheer… me up?"
"Reah, rure!" I nodded. "Ro ret rour rind roff rour reams…"
Amber smiled. "Sounds like… fun"
I mentally danced around with excitement. She said yes! Well, kind of.
"Reat! Re'll ro rhen rit's rarker!" I said, excitedly.
Amber raised her eyebrow again. "Why?"
"Recause rit's ricer rat right…" I replied.
"Isn't it… nice… during the… day?" Amber wondered with a smirk.
"Rum… rure rit ris… rut rhere re're roing, rit's retter roff roing rin re rark… I rean, re ron't..." I rambled nervously until Amber reassuringly put her paw on top of mine which made me calm down a little.
"It's ok… I was… kidding." Amber giggled at my rambling.
I mentally face-palmed myself. Why did I have to be so nervous to the point of looking like an idiot?
"Rokay… rou rot me…" I chuckled.
"So… tonight then?" Amber questioned.
"Reah, reah… ronight." I nodded, mentally dancing with joy.
After I let Amber go back to sleep again. I exited the room, a big, stupid, dumb grin on my face. The gang were sitting around the living room, anxiously waiting around to see if I was successful or not. I decided to act casual so I didn't arouse any suspicion.
I entered the living room in a casual way and the gang all looked up to me, curiosity on their faces.
"So…?" Daphne wondered, leaning closer towards me.
I sighed and lowered my head. The gang's faces went from curiosity to sadness. Then I grinned and lifted my head again.
"I've rot a rate!" I beamed.
Everyone's faces lifted up with excitement drastically. Velma and Daphne started to squeal in sheer delight. Shaggy ran up to me and rubbed my head.
"Like, way to go Scoob!" Shaggy exclaimed happily, which I found odd because the last time I went out with someone, he got jealous.
"So, where are you taking her?" Fred asked.
"Re readow. I ras rinking a ricnic rith a rice rew rof re Roon…" I replied, making Velma and Daphne squeal again.
"Like, look at you… Mr Romantic over here." Shaggy chuckled.
"Rhat? Ris rit roo ruch?" I wondered.
Velma laughed. "Scooby, it sounds perfect…"
"Roh, rood…" I sighed in relief.
"Now, we need to sort out your look…" Daphne smirked.
My eyes widened with fright. I was not looking forward to this.
(AMBER'S POV)
The day later turned to night. As the day went along, I prepared myself for my date with Scooby. Yes, I knew he asked me out. I may be from a different planet but the dating rituals are the same.
I had a date with an alien. A real alien. If only my parents could see me now!
As I remembered my parents, sudden flashbacks entered my mind. Painful ones.
I shook my head to get rid of the memories. This isn't the time to remember.
I exited Shaggy and Scooby's bedroom and saw that Scooby was waiting outside. His fur seemed more shiner and cleaner. He had a bit of fur on top of his head all curled up like a quiff in a sense. He also wore a blue bow tie around his neck. I blushed at the mere sight of him.
"Rey!" Scooby greeted excitedly.
"Hey…" I muttered nervously. I really wanted to say more but my limited vocabulary prevented me from doing so.
"Rou ready?" Scooby wondered.
I nodded. Scooby grinned.
"Ret's ro. I've rot romething ronderful ranned. Rou'll rove rit." Scooby said.
I smiled. I'm sure it'll be wonderful regardless since you are here with me, Scooby. I really wish I could say that to him.
We left the house and headed down the street, which was quite peaceful at night. We didn't have to travel very long when Scooby stopped at a meadow.
"Rollow re…"
I walked into the meadow, wondering what Scooby had in mind. All I could see was long grass and a lake that could be seen from afar.
When we eventually came across a clearing, I saw that a blanket was laid over the grass. There was a basket and Scooby's CD player. All this looked over to the lake and Earth's Moon, which illuminated the blanket and the lake from afar.
"Rurprise…" Scooby said, smiling.
"Scooby… This is…" I said, almost speechless.
"Ramazing?" Scooby added, taking the words right out of my mouth.
"Well… yeah!" I exclaimed.
"Rome, rome…" Scooby said as we headed over to the blanket.
Scooby grabbed the basket and pull out a steaming plate of food. The food was yellow and stringy and covered in sauce. There was also little balls intertwined with the stringy food. The fact that it wasn't cold bewildered me.
"What's this?" I asked.
"Rit's raghetti…" Scooby replied, rubbing the back of his head. "I rought re rould rare rit…"
I smiled. "I'd love to…"
Scooby took the first bite, a handful of, what he called, spaghetti in his mouth. He easily gobbled them up except for one single strand. He looked at me, slurped it up and grinned.
I followed suit and took a few strands of spaghetti and slurped it up a single strand just like Scooby did. My taste buds exploded. Earth's cuisine certainly beats my planet's. The spaghetti seemed to have a mind of it's own as the strand whacked my nose before hitting my mouth. I slightly jumped and my eyes widened from the spaghetti strand touching my nose. Scooby and I both looked at each other and giggled amongst ourselves.
Scooby and I both took another bite at our spaghetti, both of our eyes locked onto each other. This was perfect. He was perfect.
But both of us failed to see that we somehow took the same spaghetti strand and pulled us closer and closer until…
We kissed.
Both of our eyes widened with surprise, Scooby being more surprised than I was. Then we both closed our eyes. Sparks flew almost immediately.
I couldn't tell how long our kiss lasted but soon enough we broke from our kiss and blushed simultaneously, looking away from each other.
"Re rust…" Scooby was the first to break the ice.
"I know…"
"Rid rat reel roo roon?" Scooby wondered, slightly panicking.
"Scooby…"
"I ridn't ran ron rissing rou, rit ras re raghetti…" Scooby said, freaking out.
"Scooby…"
"I rean, rhat rare re rodds rat-"
Before he knew it, I pulled him in for another kiss. This seemed to calm him down significantly. When we broke again, I smiled at him.
"Scooby… It was… perfect." I said.
Scooby smiled. Then something hit him, like he just got reminded to do something. Scooby rushed towards the basket and pulled out a red cloth. He then trotted over to me.
"Rere, I rot rou romething…" Scooby said, nervously.
My eyes lit up "You got me… something?"
"Reah, I rought… recause rhat redallion ris rite recious ro rou… I rought ris right ride rit rom robbers…" Scooby explained.
"You didn't have to…"
"I ridn't rave ro, rut I ranted ro…" Scooby beamed.
"Thank you…" I said.
"Ro rou rant re ro rut rit ron rou?" Scooby wondered.
I nodded. Scooby moved closer to me and wrapped the fabric around my neck, making me blush as his fur brushed against mine. When he was finished, he grabbed a mirror that came out of nowhere and lifted it so it showed my reflection.
"Ro… rhat ro rou rink?"
I felt the fabric on my neck with my paw and all I could do was smile.
"I love it…"
I then rested my head up against Scooby's shoulder as we both looked towards the moon.
This was the perfect end to a perfect night. I hope it never ends.
