Dear Freddie,

First off, I'm glad you're reading this cause you're probably wondering why I didn't return any of your calls or try to talk to you. I wouldn't have blamed you if you'd done that. But I'm glad you're reading this. I want you to know what I've been thinking.

First off, I want to say I'm sorry for not telling you any of this in person. I know is might be easier, but, like, I just can't right now,man. I just don't feel like talking to either you or any of the girls. I got plenty of reasons for this too.

Freddie, the truth is I really don't think I know you or any of the girls anymore. We're supposed to be best friends, we swore it a long time ago, but then again I think you changed too much since then. We've all become too different. The recent things you said and did.....I don't know why you said and did them. Why did you force Scoob and me into those dark, scary tunnels when you knew we were scared? Why did you lure us into all those mysteries when you knew we didn't want to go? Why did you give orders like you were more our dictator or our father than our friend? God knows neither Scoob, Scrap, or I would do anything like that to you or anyofthe girls!

We've known each other since Nursery School, Freddie. You'd think that after all that time you would have known that Scoob and I were cowards and accepted it. As kids you seemed to, but then as we grew into High School I don't know what happened to you. Like, I was happy wen you became Captain of the Football Team and Co-Captain of the Baseball Team,and I'm happy you and Daph are dating, but lately it seems all you care about is being right and impressing her. Just because you've changed doesn't mean we all had too! I thought you would have known that by now, but it seems like you don't. It seems more to me like if a person is not wearing a skirt, you don't pay attention to him.

Freddie, I cared a lot for you, you were like a brother to me. Daph and Vel I thought of like sisters. Believe me, man, it pains me deep down to have to write these words to you, but, like, they have to be written.

Freddie, Scoob and I are cowards. That is the truth, we are scared of many things. That's a fault of ours and we thought, being our friends, you could accept it, but like, we see now that you can't. Whenever we went to a scary place you always asked the girls of they wanted to go, but you never asked me! Like, I thought I was a person too, Freddie, I thought I counted, I thought I mattered! It seems like all you care is the girls and once they start talking, Scoob and I just disappear. I may not be a girl, and Scoob may not even be human, but we have feelings and opinions, just like the girls, which we thought counted. But apparently, if you're not a girl, I guess in your eyes we no longer count, and that's what hurts the most. Like, I thought Scoobn and I were part of the team, Freddie, but I guess all you see us as is just living bait for the traps and the ones to dump all over. We are NOT just bait, Freddie, we are PEOPLE, just like the girls, Freddie. I wish you could see that yourself. All it seems to me you want to do is impress the girls while Scoob and me, and now Scrap have to venture out on our own which we think isn't fair! Like, we're SCARED, Freddie, and one more of the girls MIGHT have helped us out, itmight have helped us conquer our fears.

Velma, like, why don't you want to be with us anymore? Having you on the same team helped us out greatly. Like, you brought out hiden courage Scoob and I didn't know we had, only to dump us for Freddie! Like, that hurts more than anything, Velma. Was it something we did or said? Or were you just tired of hanging with us cowards and are hoping Freddie notices you? If that's true, I'm sorry, Scoob and I aren't FREDDIE, we're US! NICE TO MEET YA!! I'm sorry you can no longer accept Scooby and I as we are, but we WON'T CHANGE!! Like, if you're so in love with Freddie, duke it out with Daph!

Daph, likie I thought you were so nice and so fun to be around. Why does Fredie have you under his thumb? Like, remember when we were talking so long ago and I said I believed in you even when the others were calling you danger-prone? Like,I would have thought YOU, of all people, would be on our side, Daph. Yet, there you are constantly laughing at Scoob and me along with Freddie and Velma, making fun of me along with them? . Like, why Daph? Why do you agree with them always and insult us as well? Do you have any idea how much that hurts?

Don't you remember the fun times we all had? When we were kids and fished together in the river? When we all hung out in our clubhouse and worked together on mysteries? Back then I thought our friendship ment something to the three of you, I guess I was wrong. I see now our friendship really means nothing to any of you and all you think of us is soccer balls to be kicked around and used.

Like, I want my old friends back. The friends who always listened to meand Scoob and believed in us. The friends who played frizbee in the playground and hung out in the treehouse, but those friends seemed to have completely disappeared. You Fredie, you Daph, and you Vel, have grown up way too fast for Scoob and me and we no longer have anything in common. I can't hang out with people who I no longer have anything in common with, that's why we're leaving. Scoob, Scrap,and I have pack ed up the van and we're out of here, man. We are going our own way, man, and doing what WE want to do, traveling al over the world and letting the adventure come to US!! If all we're good at is being the bait and standing around and being insulted, than I'm sorry, but we can't be a part of it anymore. That's why we'releaving for good. Don't tryto find us, man, cause you won't ave any idea where we are. We're sorry, man, but like we can't take your abuse and insults,and like, we can't take the fact that you no longer care. Like, Freddie, this is the LAST time you, Daphne, and Velma make fun of us.

Like I said before, Freddie, I'm sorry I couldn't tell you this in person. I'm even sorrier it's come down to this. I wish we all could have gone on being friends, and I'll miss you, especially you, Freddie. Not the new you, the old you. The Freddie who LIKED to spend time with Scoob, Scrap, and me and who cared about your feelings even though we aren't girls. I don't know what happened to that Freddie Jones, but he's not around anymore.

Good-bye Freddie, Good bye, Daphne, Good bye, Velma.

Your ex-best friend,

Shaggy
