Chapter 21: A Bond

Shaggy, Velma & Scooby's eyes grew wide as they saw the werewolfe open his eyes & yawn, showing off his razor sharp teeth to the red head sleeping peacefully on him. He leaned in with his wet nose, rubbing it againest her cheek. Shaggy & Scooby were shaking.

"Guys!" Velma whispered. "Cool it down or were gonna be dog food!" Shaggy looked at her.

"Like, but Daphne's gonna be if we don't do something! Fred wouldn't want that!" Shaggy said, under a shaky whisper. Velma gently placed her hand on his. His shaking stopped at once.

"Shaggy, Daphne's got to do this. Fred won't hurt her." Velma assured him. Shaggy gulped & nodded. Then turned his head & continued to watch.

The werewolfe breathed down her neck, causing her wake. Daphne's eyes fluttered opened to see that the beach had grown empty & the sun was almost completely gone. She yawned, then realized she didn't feel Fred's comforting touch anymore. She frowned then scanned the beach before her.

"Freddie?" She called softly. Before she had a moment to think something leaped on her back, knocking her in the sand.

"Like, Daphne!" Shaggy shouted.

"Shhh! Just watch..." Velma said.

The claws didn't stab into her, like expected. His tounge stuck & almost smiled at Daphne, as he layed on top of her.

"Freddie?" She gasped. The wolfe licked her cheek, Daphne giggle but also in shock. Could this be the hungry beast that once attacked her? Was this really her husband-to-be? She hoped it was. He was so friendly & kind. Wanted to play games, like a puppy. Daphne carefully removed the wolfe off her & sat up. The wolfe quickly came back & licked her face several times. Daphne laughed. "Jeepers! You sure are a playful boy now aren't you?" She said, rubbing his head playfully.

The three former members of Mystery Incorporated, mouths dropped. In shock at how playful the werewolfe was.

"My theory must be correct! He's acting just like a puppy!" Velma shouted. Shaggy smiled.

"So, like this means we're one step closer to solving this mystery!" He said happily. Velma nodded then they joined together in a hug of celebration.

Daphne played fetch with the werewolfe, who was more like a best friend puppy. After an hour of playing around, Daphne rested in the same spot she woke in.

"Look at those stars, Freddie." Daphne sighed, lying on her back gazing at the stars. The werewolfe rested his head on her stomach. Daphne ran her fingers through the thick golden brown hair. The werewolfe licked her cheek once more. Daphne almost felt like Fred really understood what she was saying, & the lick was his own werewolfe way of kissing her. "You, know what my little werewolfe friend, I had a great night with you, but I do miss my old Freddie." She said, honestly. The werewolfe looked at her with a sad look across his face. "Oh, don't worry dear. You said we'll work through this, & we will. Sometimes I just let my mind escape me." She said, kissing the werewolfes nose. "I still love you." She said softly, resting her head on top of his.

Velma & Shaggy wrote every little detail of what they had just watched, soon after things slowed down they decided to take the couple back to Fred's apartment.

"Daphne!" Velma called. Daphne walked to her.

"I was beginning to think you'd left me here."She said crossing her arms, the air begin to have a breeze & a chill.

"No, we were doing some research." Velma said.

"Velma! I'm getting married in two days.." Daphne said, staring out to the ocean.

"Oh wow..since when?" Velma asked surprised.

"Since Fred told me before he turned werewolfe again." Daphne sighed. Velma stood closer to her best friend.

"And, what's wrong with that?" Velma asked softly. Daphne wiped away a tear trembling down her cheek.

"Nothing is wrong with it. I want to get married to him, I really do, oh it's my wildest dream come true..but w-what if he's a..a..w-werewolfe f-f-.."

"Forever?" Velma finished. Daphne nodded. "Daphne, did you see the way he acted tonight? You actually bonded with a werewolfe." Velma said, almost laughing. Daphne looked at her puzzled. "That's love Daphne, not any love, true love. That werewolfe, just a night ago almost ripped you to pieces, not anymore, he's realized you won't ever harm him. He knows that." Daphne grinned.

"That means..we'll make it..work.." Daphne said, breathless. Like suddenly pieces of a puzzle clicked perfectly. Velma nodded with a smile.

"But, you might not have to. I might have found a true forever cure. Shaggy & I are going to check into it tomorrow. Daphne..there's something I need to tell you though.." Velma said, holding her breath, not really ready to say it. Daphne smiled & nodded.

"You know you can tell me anything." She said. Velma felt her palms become sweaty & her legs shaky, but not near as bad as Shaggy's shaking earlier.

"That, I'd love to help you with your wedding planning!" Velma said, completely changing the subject. Daphne laughed.

"Well duh. best friend! Of course you can help me! I'm going to need all the help I can get." Daphne said. Velma faked a smile & lauged.

"Yeah..I bet." She said. Daphne trailed off to find the werewolfe to bring him to the car.

"Like did you tell her?" Shaggy asked coming up from behind her. Velma shook her head with a frown on her face.

"Shaggy, it's not easy to tell your best friend that her husband will be a werewolfe forever if we don't get this cure before the last full moon." Velma said, holding back tears. Shaggy hugged her.

"Don't worry, Velma. We'll find some way to tell her." Shaggy said.

"If you say so." Velma said, carrying their stuff to the car near by.

"Good night guys." Velma said, waving as Daphne led the werewolfe carefully inside the apartment building.

"Good bye!" Daphne said.

"Here we are, Freddie." Daphne said, opening the door. The werewolfe ran inside, sniffing the floor.

"What's wrong?" Daphne asked, slipping off her shoes. The werewolfe began to growl. "What is it?" Daphne cried in a panic. The werewolfe bounced into the kitchen. "Freddie!" She screamed, chasing him.
