Chapter Ten: The Search

"Freddie look!" Daphne shouted. Fred came running over to where she was standing.
"Footprints." He said smiling. They had begun to follow the footprints when they heard the sound of crunching snow behind them. They whirled around and jumped in surprise at what they saw.
"Oh Scooby, thank God it's only you!" Daphne sighed in relief. "What are you doing out here? We thought you were asleep."
"Ri rant to rind Relma and Raggy!" Scooby whined heartbroken. "Ran I rome rith rou?"
"Oh Scooby! Of course you can!" Daphne said as she ran over and gave Scooby a very big hug. They continued to follow the footsteps and were suprised when the trail led them to the old hangout.
"Looks like the tracks break off into two separate trails. We'll have to split up." Fred announced. "I'll follow the trail to the left," Fred said pointing left. "And you two, Daphne, Scooby, follow the trail to the right." Fred once again pointed only this time to the right. "If anyone finds anything, go immediatly back here and sound our old alarm. Got it?"
"Got it!" Daphne and Scooby said together in unison.

Daphne and Scooby followed their trail of footsteps down a trail and into a deeper wooded area. Daphne had an eery feeling she'd been here before.
"Raphne! Ri srell romethring ramiliar!" Scooby announced, excitement clear in his voice. He took off running with Daphne close behind and came to a halt at the mouth of a cave.
"No way...." Daphne exclaimed. "The cave...." The two of them walked in cautiously. "Velma? Shaggy?" Daphne almost jumped out of her skin, but had just enough time to catch Scooby, when she heard a groan from the corner of the cave.
"Rorry Raphne." Scooby said as he jumped from her arms. They turned around and saw Velma, lying on the ground.
"Velma!" Daphne shouted rushing over.
"Daph...?" Velma asked waking up.
"Come on, let's get you home."

Fred walked through the trees with a steady gait. After a while he emerged from the woods to find a young man with messy hair sitting on top of a hill. Fred crept up the hill slowly and silently. When he got close enough to boy he asked gently, "Shaggy?" The young man stood up and turned around.
"Hey Freddie." Shaggy sighed.
"Hey Shag, what's wrong?" He asked, sensing the sadness in his best friends voice.
"I kissed her."
