Molly was fed up. Draculaura couldn't find anything so the time had come for them to confront Dracula . Danny was hesitant but Molly dragged him there.

"What did you need to see me about?" Dracula asked looking up from his paperwork.

"Tell us about Shaggy" Molly demanded.

"Excuse me?"

"Shaggy. Tell us about Shaggy Christina depends on it" Molly replied.

"Well three years ago the werewolf retired and I needed a replacement. I found out that Sha-Gee was the next potential werewolf so I sent the Hunch Bunch after him. He got here and he refused to race so I made him a deal. If he won I turn him back to normal. He lost and so I burned the counter spell. He took the werewolf car and disappeared a few days later." Dracula explained.

Molly was angry now.

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU'VE DONE? SHAGGY IS HOLDING CHRISTINA HOSTAGE AND NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY"

"He's what?" Dracula cried.

But Molly stormed away feeling the need to punch something and say some less than nice things. Her best friend was in danger and it was all thanks to the person who was supposed to take care of and protect her.

"Molly?" Danny asked with concern as Molly passed him.

"We need to find the castle" Molly grumbled grabbing Danny and pulling him away.

…...


"Wait you're telling mw Daddy did this?" Sibella cried when Molly and Danny returned to the school.

"Yes" Molly replied with an eye roll.

"But why?" Sibella asked.

"Because he needed a werewolf" Molly said.

"That's not right"

"I know"

"Let's get back to work"

…...


When night fell Shaggy popped into Christina's room. She hadn't made a noise all day. She still hadn't come out and Scooby refused to tell him anything. Scooby in fact was rather agitated with Shaggy and his pour treatment of Christina. Christina was in bed asleep. He walked over to where she laid with the red covers pulled up to her chin. In the dim light of the lamp he could see her tear stained cheeks. How long was she going to keep this up? She couldn't possibly be upset could she? Shaggy left without a sound and walked to the throne room where Scooby was sleeping on the rug. When Shaggy walked past he looked up lazily.

"Scooby is Christina still upset?" Shaggy asked as he sat down.

"Yes very upset" Scooby replied dryly.

"But why?"

"Because she blames herself now. You crushed her" Scooby said.

"She'll get over it"

"You really believe that?"

"She has to eventually"

"You haven't gotten over the incident"

"That's different" Shaggy argued.

"No it isn't it's exactly the same. You blame her and she blames herself now" Scooby replied.

Scooby walked away. Shaggy sat there dumbfounded. Christina and Dracula were related didn't they think the same. Was all the crying an act? Had she fooled Scooby? She didn't really feel bad did she? Shaggy was going to find out. As Shaggy stood up to go to his room he heard something. Yelling. Christina was yelling but why? He raced down the hall and opened the door. She was thrashing around in bed she was still asleep. He listened for a minute.

"WHY DID YOU DO THIS? IT'S NOT FAIR! HE DOESN'T DESERVE THIS"

Was she yelling about him? Shaggy didn't have time to think. He had to wake Christina up before she hurt herself or someone else. He approached the bed calmly. Slowly he begun to shake Christina but that wasn't helping.

"Christina" he said trying to wake her.

Nothing.

"Christina" he repeated starting to pinning her arms down so she wouldn't hit him.

Finally after a few minutes she jolted awake tears streaming down her face. Shaggy backed away not wanting to be seen but she'd already seen him. After catching her breath she asked what he was doing there.

"You were yelling" Shaggy replied plainly.

"I was? I'm sorry I disturbed you"

Did she just apologize?

"Has this happened before?" Shaggy asked.

"Yes" Christina replied looking down.

"Why?"

"It's nothing besides you probably wouldn't care anyway" Christina replied quietly.

Not knowing what to do Shaggy left very confused.

…...


"Any luck?" Molly asked looking over Sibella's shoulder.

"I wish Molly"

"I need to hit something" Molly declared.

"Just don't hit me"

"I've got something" Miss Grimwood announced.

"What?" Molly asked excitedly.

"There's a castle but it's quite a ways from here"

"What do we do Miss Grimwood?" Winnie asked.

"We make a plan"

...


The next day Christina woke up to a sight she hadn't seen in a while. The sun was shinning through her window. She rubbed her eyes and stretched as the memory of the previous night came back to her. Had that really happened? As she stood up and looked around she saw something laying on her window seat. Curious she walked over and what she saw surprised her. A large red, hardcover book was there. A gold border framed the cover. And in the center written in fancy cursive writing was Fairy Tales. This couldn't be real! Gently Christina picked it up and begun to flip through the pages eventually landing on her favorite page.

The picture of Beauty and the Beast. Christina sat down with a smile. Maybe today would be a little better.
