Chapter 2- Like, You're Velma, Man
Total confusion masked Lana's face. "Who? I don't understand."
"Pete said Scooby and the Mystery Machine," Clark tried.
Pete groaned. "And now we're Mystery Inc."
"Are you telling me that we're the cast of Scooby Doo?" Chloe asked. "You have got to be kidding me. I mean, I've heard some pretty far-fetched theories, but this?"
"Hey, Ron," Clark called to a boy a few tables over. "What's my name?"
Ron rolled his eyes. "Give it a rest, Shaggy. You're the only one who thinks you're funny."
Clark looked at Chloe as if that proved his point.
"So, you're saying that you're Shaggy?" Chloe asked in disbelief.
Pete adjusted his ascot proudly. "I'm Fred. I knew I'd be the good looking one," he said, running a hand delicately over his head.
Lana smoothed back her hair, giving her head a shake to make her hair bounce. "Wait, what am I doing?" she asked in shock.
"Jinkies! Lana's Daphne!" Chloe exclaimed. "Jinkies?!"
"Like, you're Velma, man," Clark told her, gaping at the change in his voice. "This is like uber creepy."
"But I look good," Pete said, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
"What about the rest of us?" Chloe asked, glancing at her friends. "I'm in a turtle neck, Clark's wearing cords, and Lana's in a mini skirt."
Pete gave Lana a charming smile.
"It must be the combined forces of the two highly toxic meteor rocks," Chloe said in a dignified tone. She shook her head as if to clear it. "I mean, something must have happened when Pete said that and the two rocks touched."
"That's what I was thinking all along," Pete agreed, puffing his chest a little more. Before anyone could respond the woman ran back in.
"Help! Help me!" she screamed.
Pete took her by the shoulders. "Tell us what happened, ma'am."
The woman seemed taken aback by Pete's good looks. "There was a ghost! In Mister Luthor's bedroom!" she squealed.
"Like, slow down," Clark told the woman. "I know you. Like, you're Lionel's nurse."
The woman nodded frantically.
Chloe stood, walking to the woman's side. She clasped her hands behind herself. "Calm down, ma'am, and tell us what happened."
The woman took a deep breath as Lana stood. Lana put all her weight on one leg, putting the other out to the side. She began to twist a strand of long hair between her fingers, watching it as she played with it.
"I went into Mister Luthor's room when I heard a commotion. Standing over his bed was a ghost. It has a pillow in its hands that it was lowering onto Mister Luthor's face," the woman exclaimed. "When I screamed Mister Lionel woke up. I looked at him, and by the time I looked back up the ghost was gone."
Pete grinned at Chloe. "Ready for that zany adventure I was talking about?" he asked with a devilish smile.
