Lucy was shaking. The sight astounded Shaggy who was used to seeing her confused and sure of herself. This was completely new to him. He'd protect her but how? They both had jobs and he couldn't be in two places at once. Then an idea came to him.

"Lucy, how would you like to go on a trip?"

"Where to?"

"Anywhere but here"

"Gladly"

So Shaggy put his plan in motion. He called his boss and told him there was a family emergency.

"Go"

"Are you sure?"

"Take all the time you need Shaggy "

"Thanks"

Meanwhile, Lucy called Anna.

"HE'S WHAT?"

"Back"

"What are you going to do?"

"Find Mom"

"Why?"

"She can help us"

"But what about your horses?"

"Can you take care of my place?"

"Of course I can"

"Thanks, Anna"

"No problem "

Lucy then packed white Shaggy guarded the door to her room. Lucy didn't take long at all and soon emerged rolling her pink and black suitcase behind her.

"Ready to go?" Shaggy asked.

"Almost" Lucy replied walking to her bookshelf.

"What are you looking for?" Shaggy asked as Lucy dug through the books on the bottom shelf.

"This" Lucy replied as she pulled a book from the shelf.

Shaggy helped Lucy up before looking at the book she'd grabbed. The yellow hardcover book was tilted GREEK AND ROMAN MYTHS. Lucy noticed Shaggy looking at the book with confusion.

"I want to find my mother" Lucy explained.

"How do you know we'll even find her?"

"Dad always said I was just like Mom and we can use that to our advantage besides we also have this " Lucy said pulling a photo album from the shelf.

"Okay"

Soon Shaggy, Scooby and, Lucy were on the road. Shaggy had decided to drive his old van so there would be more room. Scooby looked over Lucy's shoulder taking an interest in her photo album.

"Is that you?" he asked.

"No that's Mom. I'm the little girl"

The picture was of Lucy and her parents in the field next to their home. Lucy sat on Cupid's lap smiling ear to ear while her mother sat to the right.

"You look like her"

"That's what everyone says"

The only difference between Lucy and her mother was their hair color. Lucy was blonde like her father but her mother had jet black hair. These differences were natural. Lucy had considered changing her hair color on more than one occasion but always decided against just because it would be a tedious process either way.

"Lucy?"

"Yes Shaggy?"

"Do you have any idea where your mother could be?"

"Tennessee most likely" Lucy replied without looking away from her photo album.

"What makes you think that?"

"She used to travel before I was born. She told me Tennessee was one of her favorite places" Lucy explained.

"It will take us a few days to get there"

"I know "

"You've never told us about your mother" Scooby pointed out.

"I'm not ready to talk about her just yet"

"Why not?"

"It's upsetting to think about "

"You can tell us whenever you're ready Lucy," Shaggy said gently.

"I will I promise"
