Samantha M: I love your reviews! :) You make me laugh & smile. I just would like to get at least FOUR reviews on this chapter, it doesn't mean I'll end the story completely if I don't get four, it just means it will take me longer to publish it, if not that many people want to read it. Make sense? I'm just doing it for fun. I promise I won't give up on the story. :)

Chapter 9: A Nightmare Alive.

Fred wrapped his arm in a bandage. When finally he fell asleep on the sofa. A nightmare haunted Fred while he tried to sleep. He kicked, screamed & moaned. He was breathing heavily. It was Daphne, Brent had her captured, along with The Freak leading him to all his evil plans.

Daphne woke up to the sound of Fred's screams. Daphne was a very light sleeper, she often woke up over the smallest sounds. She got out of the bed & went into the living room.

"Freddie.." Daphne said, shaking him trying to wake him. His face was covered in sweat, breathig so hard as if he'd been running from a monster. "Fred! Wake up, your scaring me." Daphne cried, shaking him harder. Fred refused to wake, he continued to kick & toss. Daphne picked up his sweaty shaking hand, & held it tightly. Fred stopped at once, the touch of her hand let him know she was safe. "Shh, that's it, calm down..it was just a dream.." Daphne whispered softly. A tear slipped down Daphne's cheek. Something was wrong with him. She knew it. She felt bad for being so harsh on him before. He'd had it rough for the longest time & yet tried so hard to stay happy & positive, keeping everyone together. She stared at his scared face. So brave, so charming. She wished he would just admit he loved her, or tell her that he didn't, one or the other, just so she would know. He kept everything bottled inside his heart.

"Daphne?" Fred said, opening his eyes, finally. Daphne quickly wiped away her tears so that he would never know she cried.

"Yes, Freddie?" Daphne asked. letting go of his hand.

"You're okay!" Fred said, in shock.

"I'm fine, Freddie." Daphne said. Fred sat up, beside her. "You had a nightmare."

"Daphne, I need to tell you something!" Fred said. Daphne hoped it was the words she longed to hear.

"Brent just isn't the guy for you! I can't tell you why..exactly but he isn't! Please listen to me, don't go out with him tomorrow!" Fred begged. Daphne rolled her eyes.

"Not this again, Freddie." She said "Why can't you just let me be happy! What do you want from me? I don't understand you. I'm going on a date with Brent, whether you like it or not!" Daphne said. getting up to go back into her room.

"Daphne, you don't understand I-"

"I do understand! Everythings a plan, a game. That's not true, I'm done. Good night!" Daphne said. Fred buried his head in the pillows.

"Good morning, Daphne!" Velma said happily, twirling out of bed. Daphne got out of bed.

"What are you so happy about?" She moaned.

"Oh...nothing." Velma replied, laughing a little.

"Mhm." Daphne said, knowing exactly why she was in such a great mood, she decided to wait until Velma would tell her that her & Shaggy were engaged.

"What are you going to be doing today?" Velma asked.

Daphne smiled, she finally forgot about the fight her & Fred had at three in the morning.

"Velma, I took your advice & I've got a date!" Daphne said, happily.

"Fred asked!" Velma shouted, in shock. Daphne's smiled faded away, she looked down to floor, ignoring eye contact with Velma. "Daphne?" She asked, wondering why the subject changed her reactions.

"Um..Velma, it's..not Freddie. He doesn't love me, Velma..he never will." Daphne explained holding back tears.

"Oh.." Velma said. Daphne nodded then looked up at her best friend. "I'm sorry. Then who are you going on a date with?"

"A wonderful handsome guy, Brent. He's such a gentlman, Velma! He asked me out for breakfast this morning, last night. I'm so excited, Velma! Someone loves me!" Daphne said, slipping into her dress then placing the head band in her curled hair. Looking in the mirror.

"I'm so happy for you, Daphne!" Velma said.

"See I knew, if you moved on you'd find the right guy. And now look, your going on a date today!"

"Oh gosh, I'm going to be late, gotta go." Daphne said, picking up her purse & slipping in to the high heels. She rushed out of the room. She ran in the living area to grab her room key. She heard a knock at the door, she ran through the halll, slipping on her heel. Fred just came out of his room & managed to catch her fall.

"Slow down, Daph. If he's all you say he is, he won't mind waiting at the door a few seconds." Fred said, helping her back up on her feet. Daphne blushed, the way Fred never let her fall, it made her feel so safe. She wished it was him, she was ready to go on a date with. Knowing it wouldn't happen, she smirked at Fred's smart comment about Brent.

"Are you okay?" Fred asked, Daphne looked at him, focusing in his eyes. She heard another knock at the door & quickly parted from Fred's arms.

"Great, Freddie!" She said, opening the door.

There the tall strong, Brent stood, his hair brown & combed perfectly. His teeth sparking like pearls, He had a tight red t-shirt on, with blue jeans, & stylish shoes. He wore a white ascot around his neck. Leaning againest the door.

"Hi...Brent." Daphne said. Caught in a daze staring at him. Fred crossed his arms, watching the bad guy steal the girl of his dreams.

"Hello, Daphne." Brent said, kissing Daphne's hand. Fred was over boiling with anger in his heart. Knowing this could be The Freak's son, taking her & she didn't have a clue. Daphne giggled. Brent glared a look at Fred, winking evily. Fred just frowned at him, in anger.

"Who's he?" Brent asked Daphne.

"Oh, that's Fred & Fred, this is Brent." Daphne said introducing them to one another.

"Daphne, can we talk in private, for just a minute?" Fred asked. Daphne looked at Fred with an anger smirk.

"No, Freddie. I don't want to be late for our date." She said, wrapping her arms around Brent's right arm. "Bye, Fred." She said, waving, leaving holding tightly onto Brent's arm.

"Daphne, I thought this morning would never come." Brent said, smiling.

"Me either, Brent. Where do you plan on going? Maybe the cute little cafe, down in the lobby?"

"Oh, no...I've got somewhere...extra special to take you, Daphne, darling." He said, charming.

"Sounds promising." Daphne said.

"It is." Brent said. Daphne never fell for just any guy that walked by & asked her out. She took a stand & only went out with the people that she believed were going to last & love her. "Come on let's go." Brent said, after they drove to a special spot.

"Where are we?" Daphne asked.

"Oh no where too nice." Brent said.

"Wow, is that-"

"The mountain you can see perfectly from our hotel?" Brent said smiling.

"Mystery Mountain?" Daphne gasped. Remembering Fred telling her never to dare go near.

"Why, yes. How did you know?" Brent asked.

"I-I..Brent I don't think I want to-"

"Daphne, don't you trust me?"

"No, I don't think I do." Daphne said, suddenly pulling away from Brent's hand that was holding hers.

"Ha ha! Smart little Mystery Incorporated member you are." Brent laughed. "You aren't going anywhere now, not letting my father down."

"Brent, what are you doing?" Daphne asked as she faught to get away from him.

"Ending Mystery Incorporated, today. What better place to end a mystery solving gang than Mystery Mountain!" Brent laughed.

Okay, so Shelma fans, I'm really sorry there wasn't any Shelma in this story, trust me, I've got some more. I'm trying to base this more on the mystery & not so much romance but trust me, I do want romance & drama too. :) I'm weird & crazy, I knoww.

Give me at least four reviews again for chapter 10! It's getting tense.
