Again, this section has another deleted scene where they steal, in her words, Daphne's spirit thingy. Also there will be some justification as to why Fred and Daph start bickering once they switch bodies. On with the story!

Daphne knew that her whole 'save the day' plan had backfired, and indeed she was now the damsel in distress again. At least Fred wasn't around to see this, she thought bitterly. Or around to save her. She hated that she allowed herself to get caught again, and she hated the dark cavern they had taken her too. It was ominous as it was only lit by a green light coming from the cracks in the cavern below her. In the middle was a spiked cauldron filled with a swimming bluish white light. "You snuck up on me you jerk, let me out!" she said, trying not to show her fear. Zarkos didn't say a word as he sat in his control panel, lifting the arm of the unknown contraption towards her. The end of it was like a claw from the playing machine Shaggy was using last night, with a bright light in the middle. "This can't be good." She saw the machine arm coming closer to her. "No, no no no no no, NO!" she screamed as it plunged towards her and she felt it consume her body.

It was the strangest experience; Daphne was now looking at her own lifeless body and was floating in the grasp of the machine. She gasped, and then realised she could still talk. Surely Velma would have an explanation for all of this. "Hey, put back my spirit thingy!" she said crossly. "That is so uncool. And you're messing up my hair!" Zarkos smirked, yet remained silent as he moved the arm towards the lit cauldron. She was about to be dumped into the vat when she realised that it was full of other peoples spirits. "You're a jerk. Capital J-E…" the arm released her and she fell into the cauldron. "Erk" she bubbled as she drowned beneath a sea of souls.

She swam around as best as she could, the vat's current pushed her in a circular motion. She saw Velma and Fred's spirits and thankfully was able to reach them. "Fred! Velma! You're not dead! They just took your spirit thingys." Velma's face scowled. "Daphne, we're protoplasmic heads, and if my calculations are correct, we will remain protoplasmic heads until we are released from this cauldron." Daphne glared at Velma. "Damn it, I told Scooby to save you" said Fred irately, "I knew you couldn't save yourself."
"It's not Scooby's fault, I could take care of myself!"
"Yeah, obviously" Fred said sarcastically.
Daphne was furious, if she had a foot to stomp she would. "Well I certainly lasted longer than you did Fred-"
"But you still got caught" corrected Velma and Fred at the same time.
Daphne had no retaliation, nor any words to say to either of them. Instead she turned around and sped off with the current, not even saying goodbye.

Fred was angry, at Scooby and at himself. He knew that Scooby would stuff up somehow, so he should have expected it. And of course, Fred had hurt Daph's feelings again. Velma had disappeared and he was certain that Daphne was avoiding him. Suddenly a hand reached in and pulled Fred out of the soul cauldron. A man in a green shirt stood there with Fred in hand. "Hey buddy!"
"Shaggy! Listen man, someone must have spiked my root beer last night, talk me down man, talk me down."
"Fred" interjected Shaggy "you're a friggin' protoplasmic head."
Fred winced. "I know. But I'm still the best looking protoplasmic head here, I mean-"
Shaggy threw him up and hit him like a volleyball, sending him swirling out of the dark caverns and back to civilisation. From what Velma told him, he needed to find his body and realign with it. As he was whizzing through the air, his thoughts crossed to Daphne and he was hoping that she had found her body. He got to the main lobby and saw his body, excitedly he raced towards it. "I'm coming good looking!" But he was too late, 'Fred' closed the door sending him spiralling away.

She wandered aimlessly through the crowd of protoplasmic heads, and not once did she see Fred or Velma, not that she cared. A hand reached in and grabbed a man head floating next to her, and as she floated near the surface she saw Shaggy reach in and grab her out. "Put me back Shaggy, I'll figure a way out myself" she said stubbornly.
"Like how?"
She realised how petulant she sounded, but continued anyway, "I don't know… I'll use my tongue as an oar and swim to the edge."
"Sorry" Shaggy said as he released her into the cavern.

A protoplasmic head had reached Daphne's body, and Velma destroyed the purple monster that crawled out by exposing the creature to sunlight. The one weakness they appeared to have. 'Daphne' began to examine herself, with Velma watching with concern. "Daphne, you okay?"
A man's voice came out of Daphne's mouth "Yeah. But I'm not Daphne!"
"Fred?" Velma said, stunned.

Fred's body finally opened the door and Daphne's protoplasmic head was still floating by, she knew that she was going to align with Fred's body, and she had no choice. "Eww" she whined, as she entered the body of Fred Jones and fell backwards on the cold floor.
