Fred, Daphne, and, Velma continued to stare at Christina. Christina started to reach for the jacket hanging on her bedpost only to be stopped by Shaggy.

"Like, don't stare at her," Shaggy lightly scolded his friends.

"You-you have w-wings," Velma stammered.

Christina started messing with her charm bracelet. Another tell Shaggy had learned about. She was nervous and upset though she didn't let it show. Shaggy gently laid a hand over her bracelet so she couldn't mess with it. Christina made a lung for her jacket but this time Scooby snatched it.

"You don't need it," Shaggy insisted grabbing her hands.

"They are staring at me. I feel like a-"

"Don't you dare finish that sentence,"

"But, Shaggy"

"Christina,"

Shaggy turned from Christina to give the rest of the gang a disapproving glare. Fred and the girls shrunk back regretfully.

"H-how is this possible?" Velma questioned while moving closer to inspect Christina's wings.

Velma moved to touch them and Shaggy grabbed her arm and shook his head. What was with his friends? He had already explained that Christina was sensitive about her differences. So, why were they acting like this? Velma most of all seemed to want to analyze Christina like a science experiment. He turned his attention back to Christina when she stood up.

Walking past Velma, Christina walked to her closet and shut the door behind her. When shaggy heard the click of the lock he shot his friends another glare. Shaggy went to the closet door and pressed his ear to it. He heard Christina breathing heavily. She sounded close to tears. This was not good.

"Christina?"

"W-what?"

"What do you like, need?"

"M-mom. Mom,"

Shaggy couldn't take it. He rammed the door knocking it open. Christina was curled in on herself, rocking back and forth as she clutched her mother's rose-print dress to her chest. Shaggy dropped to the floor and wrapped his arms around her shaking form.

"M-m-mom. I-i want-"

"Shh, Christina breathe,"

"She can breathe?" Velma questioned as she neared the closet.

"not helping, V" Daphne whispered harshly to Velma pulling her away from the closet.

Shaggy proceeded to walk Christina through breathing exercises so she would calm down.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Inhale.

Exhale.

"Like, they're just curious, Christina. Maybe it would help if you talked about your mother?"

"I can d better than that," Christina whispered as they stood up.

"What do you like, mean?"

"You haven't seen my new mirror yet,"

"Show me,"

Christina wiped the tears from her eyes and grabbed Shaggy's arm pulling him out of the closet and to the mirror that Draculaura had brought in earlier. It now stood across from her bed and Shaggy wondered how they hadn't noticed it before now.

"Watch," Christina said as she rested her hand against the glass causing it to spark to life.

"How on earth?" Velma uttered.

"Magic, it's magic," Christina explained as the mirror fogged in cleared to reveal a cheery looking living room.

A grown fairy who looked similar to Christina sat in a comfortable looking chair. The door opened letting sunlight flood the room and making the grown fairy squint. A younger Christina around seven-years-old rushed inside shutting the door behind her. She jumped into the lap of the grown fairy whom, the gang realized was Christina's mother.

"What's the matter my little Butterfly?" Alissa asked brushing Christina's hair from her eyes.

"They're mean to me. They keep chanting evil, evil, evil when I come into the room,"

"And?"

"They pull at my wings and bend them it hurts,"

"I think it's best if I take you out of school,"

"What about Raven?"

"She can still come over,"

"Every day?"

"Yes, and we can visit Cerise every week,"

"Yay"

"Do you want me to read you a story?"

"Yes, please,"

"Then go get your book sweetheart,"

"Okay,"

The scene faded away and Christina turned to face the gang. Velma was looking down in shame. Christina's wings were sensitive and she had wanted to touch them. She could have hurt her and she hadn't meant to.

"My mother raised me by herself. My father was killed when I was three so I don't remember much about him. My mother was my very best friend forever after and we were so alike. She made me laugh, took care of me and told me I didn't have to be evil because where I come from we have set destiny mine like my mother before I was to curse a prince and turn him into a frog but we didn't believe in that,"

"Oh,"

"My mother was killed because of her beliefs and Headmaster Grimm wasted no time shipping me here,"

Christina sat on her bed and waited while the gang soaked in all this information. Shaggy meanwhile, went and grabbed Christina's photo album. The gang gathered around to see the pictures as Shaggy passed the album to Christina. Christina opened the album and the girls let out a collective aww.

The first picture they saw was of a baby Christina. She was dressed in a onesie that red Daddy's Little Princess. The tiny babe wore an oversized bow and tiny lace socks. Christina had a hand reaching for whoever was taking the picture, in this case, her father.

The picture below it showed Christina sleeping in a crib with a teddy bear as big as she was.

"You were a cute baby," Shaggy said.

"You say that every time I show you these," Christina responded.

After the baby pictures were pictures of tiny Christina playing in her bedroom. She sat on the pink rug with little dogs on it and played dolls with little Cerise. Playing dolls meant wrestling a doll away from Cerise who wanted to naw on everything.

After they'd seen all of the pictures Christina passed the album back to Shaggy who put it away.

Christina told them stories and showed them her favorite memories.

"Wow", Freddy said as she finished. "Your mom sounds like an amazing person."

"We're so sorry for your loss", Velma added sympathetically "I apologize for making you uncomfortable before. It's the scientist in me, my curiosity gets the better of me sometimes."

"You have no reason to feel self-conscious", Daphne told her, offering her hand. "I think the others will agree when I say that your fairy-wings are beautiful."

Christina sniffed as she looked at the others who nodded in agreement.

"Like, I think it's time we all got something to eat what do you say Scooby?"

"Yeah,"

"To the malt shop,"

…...

Meanwhile, Stacey was hard at work planning for her daughter's Cotillion. Sugie sat nearby listening as her mother droned on and on about the guest list.

"What about Christina?"

"No,"

"Mom-"

"Sugie why on earth would you want Christina to come?"

"Because she's Shaggy's future wife,"

"They're ENGAGED,"

"No, Mom but they do love each other,"

"So, they aren't engaged?"

"No, Mom they aren't even dating yet,"

Good,

It was a very good thing Rachel was coming next week or so Stacey thought.

…...

My Darling Daughter,

I was very pleased to see your most recent report card. Even though you won't follow the destiny laid before you, you continue to put forth your best effort. Mr. Badwolf spoke highly of your efforts in class and laughed with me at all the silly little things you write in the margins of your papers. I'm glad to hear that both you and, Raven are enjoying Music class. As I am sure you know I had to fight Headmaster Grimm for your spot. His brother-wherever he went-was always much more agreeable and kinder.

I miss you so much, Christina and I cannot wait to see you.

I send all my love.

Your mother,

-Alissa

Christina shut the binder and stood up as she placed it back on her nightstand. Walking over to her mirror she couldn't help but think of Raven. She laughed when she remembered how much Raven avoided mirror gazing.

"I wish I could see her," Christina sighed wistfully then watched in shock as the mirror sparked to life.

…...

Raven was brushing her hair in front of her own mirror in her dorm room with Apple when Christina suddenly appeared in the mirror! "Christina?!"

"Raven! Hi! I can't believe this! This mirror works!" Christina squealed.

"I have so much to tell you," Raven informed her.

"Tell me EVERYTHING,"

Before Raven could speak Apple butted into the conversation.

"Raven has a boyfriend,"

Christina's jaw dropped but Apple continued.

"And an older half-brother,"

"WHAT?"

"Apple, would you mind bringing the boys here so that they can meet Christina?"

"Okay,"

Apple rushed out the door.

"You have a boyfriend now? What happened to boys running away from you?" Christina asked crossing her arms.

"Well, that's the interesting thing. Do you remember Apple's brother?"

"Arthur? Yeah, he used to push me on the swing. Wait a spell, you're dating APPLE WHITES BROTHER?

"Yes, he broke the memory curse Mom placed on me when he returned to school,"

"Aww,"

"And my brother, Dirk is dating Darling,"

"Headmaster Grimm must be pulling his hair out!", Christina could laugh, having no pity for the pompous headmaster who'd sent her away before she could publicly refuse to sign the Book.

"You know, Christina if he hadn't sent you away YOU would probably be responsible for the Rebels, not me,"

"Mom would have been proud,"

"She would be proud of you now,"

"I'm not sure about that, Raven I stick out like a sore thumb at school,"

"I wish I could hug you,"

"Maybe you can!"

"Huh?"

"What's the number one rule on visiting day?"

"Don't touch the-oh,"

"Maybe, just maybe I can pull you through,"

Just then, Apple returned with Arthur and Dirk.

"Hey, sis, Apple said you wanted us to meet someone?"

"Arthur, Dirk this is my best friend Christina. She says she might be able to pull us through the mirror to visit her,"

"Do want to?"

"Yes,"

"Count us in then," Arthur laughed.

Everyone joined hands with Raven as she put her hand on the glass. Christina did grab on and pulled them through. Apple, Arthur, Raven, and Dirk landed on top of Christina.

"It worked!"

…...

Bum Bum Bum. Okay, Arthur and, Dirk are not my ocs. DRAGONDAVE45 generously let use them. What kind of trouble do you think Christina and company will get into? How will Shaggy react? LOL. Please leave a nice long review and tell me what you think.
