Chapter 12 What does Velma see in Johnny?

After Shaggy told Scooby that he loves Velma his jaw dropped because he was in complete shock. "Are you serious?" Scooby finally asked after not saying anything for five minutes. "Yes Scooby Doo I'm serious. Even though Velma turned me down when I asked for a second chance at being her boyfriend I was hoping that one day she would change her mind so we could of started over but she has moved on and I feel like I'm never going to get a second chance" Shaggy said as he started crying again. Scooby Doo wiped Shaggy's tears away with a tissue and gave his best friend a big hug. Shaggy managed to calm down and said to Scooby, "Scooby my friend I think that you and I have our own mystery to solve." "What kind of mystery?" asked Scooby Doo. "You and I are going to find out what does Velma see in Johnny and maybe find out something about him that Velma might not like" Shaggy answered as he began to discuss with Scooby Doo how they were going to learn more about Velma's new boyfriend and see if he is hiding anything. A few days later Shaggy and Scooby began their investigation to find out why Velma was crazy about this guy and to dig up some dirt on him. "Ok I think we should talk to any of Johnny's friends to see how well they know him" Shaggy told Scooby and the only friend that they knew Johnny had was the student body president Carl Chryniszzswics who has been spending time in the science lab finishing up his project for the science competition that was happening in less than a week. "I remember you guys. You're two of Velma's friends who helped find me when Jake Johnson kidnapped me because of what happened between our great grandfathers. What brings you by?" Carl asked as Shaggy and Scooby Doo as they came into the science lab.

"Not much we were wondering how have you been doing since we found you and solved the mystery of your disappearance?" Shaggy asked Carl which he answered, "I'm doing very well. I caught up with all the work I missed, my eye healed quickly and thanks to my insurance I got new glasses that didn't cost me anything. On top of that my girlfriend Helga is now at ease that I'm no longer missing." "Like that's good to hear. Did you know that your friend Johnny and Velma are now a couple?" Shaggy asked Carl. "Yes I know. Johnny told me the same night he hooked up with Velma. I'm very happy for him since he always had a poor history with women" Carl stated. "Really?" Scooby Doo asked but before Carl could say anything else he was amazed that Scooby just spoke. "Oh wow your dog can talk?" Carl asked Shaggy. "Like yes he can. Scooby Doo has always been able to talk. Truth be told I think he is the only talking dog in the world" said Shaggy. "Now what did you mean by Johnny's poor history with women?" "Well back home Johnny used to hit on every woman he saw wherever he went. However they were all disgusted with how much of a macho pig and stupid he was because of his cheesy pickup lines and most of them either slapped or punched Johnny in the face and told him to take a hike" Carl told Shaggy and Scooby which they couldn't believe. "Like how did he get accepted into Miskatonic University if Johnny is a few cards short of a deck?" Shaggy asked Carl. "I'm still trying to figure that out myself" Carl answered. "Good luck with your project" Shaggy said as he and Scooby Doo left the science lab and headed to the student lounge.

"Wow looks like Velma's new boyfriend isn't too bright. Then again neither am I but at least I never hit on multiple women with cheesy pickup lines" Shaggy said to Scooby as they were sitting on the couch reading from their text books and eating as they always do. "Do you think Velma will learn on her own who Johnny Bravo really is?" asked Scooby. "Like I'm not sure Scooby but what I do is if we find out Johnny has been unfaithful to Velma in any way we have to tell her. I may not like the idea of Velma dating some other guy but I don't want her to get hurt. It's bad enough I hurt Velma in the first place" stated Shaggy as he and Scooby continued talking. Scooby Doo was the only one out of his friends that he told that he is in love with Velma and made him promise to tell anyone else especially Velma because Shaggy wasn't sure how she was going to react if she found out Shaggy declared his love for her. While Scooby Doo and Shaggy were hanging out in the student lounge all of sudden Velma and Johnny walked in together holding hands which made Shaggy sick to his stomach. Before Shaggy could get up and leave Velma spotted him and said, "Hi Shaggy and Scooby how are you today?" "Like we're fine how are you and Johnny?" Shaggy asked Velma. "We're doing just fine and we're so happy to be together isn't that Johnny?" Velma asked which Johnny answered, "You got that right Ms. Jinkies" as Johnny held her in his arms and nuzzled Velma causing her to giggle. "What have you guys been up to?" Johnny asked Shaggy and Scooby Doo. "Not much just studying and having a snack" said Scooby. "You guys really like food don't you?" "Like yes we do which is why Scooby and I are culinary art majors here at Miskatonic University. We want to become chefs someday" Shaggy told Johnny. "That's cool and I hope that your dreams come true" Johnny told Shaggy and Scooby.

"Zoinks look at the time Scooby and I have to get going. We have something important to do somewhere else. Please excuse us" Shaggy said as he got up and left with Scooby Doo. "So Velma I was thinking that you and me go on a romantic autumn picnic before it gets too cold. I'll bring the food" Johnny said to Velma asking her out on another date. "Oh Johnny that sounds so romantic. I would love to go on a picnic with you" smiled Velma accepting the date. "Wonderful let's go on Friday since there are no classes due to it being a holiday weekend" exclaimed Johnny. "Sounds like a plan" Velma said as she hugged her boyfriend. Shaggy and Scooby were hiding somewhere because they made up that story about having to be somewhere else. "Shaggy I know that you want Velma back but spying on her is wrong and one of these days she is going to catch us!" Scooby said to his best friend. "Like I know Scooby but what choice do I have? I still don't get what she sees in him" stated Shaggy as they both remembered what Carl said about Johnny's cheesy pickup lines and wondered if he was either going to use them on Velma or already has along with other girls at Miskatonic University.
