A/N: I did this on a whim, probably wont update this anytime soon.

I could feel Daphne's tension radiating off her like a nuclear bomb waiting to explode. I felt slightly uncomfortable walking beside her, it felt wrong, to simply stand in touching distance. And yet there was some force between us, some sort of invisible handcuffs clammed around our wrists that guaranteed we will be beside each other whether we like it or not. So, as Daphne marched towards the 'Mystery club' the invisible handcuffs pulled me along with her.

Daphne practically knocked the door down, her eyes a red mist of rage, Fred turned round with a wide smile on his face. "Hey, Daph," Greeted the idiot, unable to read the mood in the room. He sat back faced the school window, as if waiting for Daphne's arrival.

I swear I heard a growl erupted from her mouth as she stalked into the room. I felt like shouting at Fred to run, then I remembered I didn't really like the blond. I suddenly imagine Fred as a steak of meat and Daphne as an lioness that hasn't eaten for weeks.

"I saw you with a girl the other day," She said calmly, which surprised me, she looked as if she was going to grab him by the shoulders and throw him out the window.

Fred crossed his arms, leaning back on a chair he sat on, "Yeah. What about it?"

"Is she a friend of yours or…"

"I think I should go…" I muttered, the tension was unbearable, plus I was pretty hungry. Shaggy must of rubbing off on me.

"No, Velma, stay." commanded Daphne, "I need a witness."

I picked at the invisible hang cuff around my wrist, "I-Shaggy's waiting for me- he'll be all alone in the cafeteria."

Daphne's eyes ripped away from Fred's cool expression and scorched her hatred through my eyes, "Stay." she hissed, I was paralysed on the spot.

"Witness?" Fred chuckled, "For what exactly-"

"There's been rumours," she cut Fred off, "That the girl I saw you with was more than a friend." Daphne said slowly. Fred shrugged.

"That's all? Who is she, Fred?" Daphne asked.

"No one that concerns you," he said coolly.

"Forget it!" Daphne shouted suddenly, "If she's a girlfriend- then fine! I don't care!"

'I don't care' I doubt even Shaggy would have believed her.

"Girlfriend?" Fred chuckled, "She's my cousin."

"Oh." Daphne froze, embarrassment showing up in her cheeks.

I made my escape from the room. Wondering why Daphne even dragged me along in the first place. Well, it was anticlimactic, I was waiting for some sort of fight- or a slap from Daphne at least. How disappointing, I was beginning to like angry Daphne.

"Stop right there." A voice called. I roll my eyes before I turn to see Daphne.

"Where do you think you're goin, Dinkley?" Daphne jeered. Well, she sure bounced back. Man, there's not a single dint in her confidence. "You're part of the mystery club now."
