"Bye Velma! Bye Ethan!" Mary Jane waved goodbye as Velma and Ethan walked towards their car.

"Bye!" They called. Mary Jane shut the door, sighing. Shaggy came up to her, drinking his fifth cup of hot chocolate.

"How many people ran out on us today?"

"Four. And your dog."

"Daphne and Fred will be back. Daphne will refuse to let Scooby sleep on their bed."

"It's a good thing you didn't marry Daphne then." Mary Jane sat down on the couch.

"Yeah, I guess." He sat down next to her. She snuggled up next to him, staring at the fire.

"They make marriage seem like a joy ride. I mean, they're almost always together, always holding hands or kissing or doing other stuff…" Mary Jane trailed off.

"Are you trying to say that our marriage isn't as good as theirs?" Shaggy looked down at her.

"No! Ours is good. Really good. Why do they have it so easy?"

"Have you ever been around for one of their fights?"

"No. I don't think so. Not unless you call making out a fight. 'Cause if so, they've had tons. Millions. Billions. Trillions." Shaggy gave her a look.

"That little? More like much bigger then I can count." He held out his arms as far as they could go.

"If you think of their marriage and then ours, well, our is pretty crappy." Mary Jane said.

"Crappy? That's a strong word to use."

"I guess." Mary Jane looked down.

"What's not right in their lives?"

"Let's make a list." Mary Jane got up, went over to the desk and got some pens and a piece of paper. "Okay, you go."

"Okay. Let's see…" Shaggy started to write.

"Ugh, time for a break. Let's review." Mary Jane picked up the list of five things. "One- Daphne's miscarried a lot, breaking their hearts. Well, Daphne's heart mostly. I wonder if Fred cares? Two-" Mary Jane was cut off by a knock on the door.

"That's probably them. Here, I'll get it." Just like Shaggy said, it was Daphne and Fred. Shaggy groaned, opening the door. Immediately he started to smile. "Like, hi guys!"

"Uhm, hello. Here's Scooby." Shaggy opened the door to let Scooby in. "Come on Freddie, let's go." Daphne turned around.

"Why don't you stay for a while?" Shaggy smiled. He knew that it annoyed Daphne to stay more then a minute or two. Daphne smiled, clearly annoyed.

"Freddie, I'm hungry. Can we go home and get something to eat?"

"Like, I can fix you something here."

"Sounds good Shaggy. Come on sweetie. Lets stay for a little bit." Daphne nodded unhappily. Fred took Daphne's hand and walked inside.

"Shaggy!"

"Honey, we have guests!"

"Oh." Mary Jane said, not excited. Wow. I feel really welcome here. Daphne thought.

"See. Freddie. We should really go. Please."

"Daphne, can you wait for five minutes?"

"Maybe." Daphne crossed her arms.

"Thank you." Fred said. Daphne rolled her eyes.

"Oh! Hello Daphne." Mary Jane didn't despise Daphne as much as Shaggy. She's actually a nice person. And pretty too. I wonder why Shaggy doesn't like her. Daphne nodded.

"Daph, you can say hello."

"Hello."

"Why don't you go to the living room? Shaggy and I will be there soon." Daphne rolled her eyes again, walking into the living room. She looked at the coffee table, where the list of bad things about them was.

"What's this?" Daphne picked it up. "Bad things about Daphne and Fred. Wow. Aren't they nice?"

"Daph, you shouldn't be reading that. Even if it has our names on it."

"Number one: Daphne's miscarried a lot, breaking their hearts. Well, Daphne's heart mostly. I wonder if Fred cares? Number two: Fred and Daphne barely have fights. That means that if they do fight, it's harder on them. Number three: Daphne cries too much. Number four: Daphne's too skinny. Even when she's pregnant. Number five: Their house is too extravagant. They could have always bought a smaller house and had money for their children's college expenses." Daphne looked up at Fred.

"You can't read that!" Mary Jane came into the room.

"Oh. Sorry. It wasn't titled nobody but Mary Jane and Shaggy can read this was it?"

"You read it? You read something that didn't belong to you?"

"You were writing about us!"

"Everybody just needs to calm down." Fred said. "I think it's time for us to go."

"I agree." Daphne said. When they reached the door, Daphne turned around. "Thanks for making everything clear to me. You were really jealous, weren't you? To say all those things about us? Who ever thought somebody could stoop that low."

"Just get out of my house."

"I'd be glad to." Daphne said, walking out.

"Daphne."

"What?" Daphne turned around. Shaggy punched her on the cheek. She let out a painful cry.

"Don't you ever do that to my wife!" Fred stepped in.

"Freddie, lets just go home." Fred nodded.

"Fine." He turned around, caressing Daphne's cheek. Shaggy walked back inside.

"Rare Ru and Red rad rat reach rother?" (Are you and Fred mad at each other?) Scooby asked, looking out the window.

"Yeah. We're mad at each other Scoob." Shaggy said, giving one last look out of the window. "The friendship is over."
