Hey,

I usually don't believe in these kinds of stories, as they are far-fetched, but they are quite popular, and very enjoyable fables. I hope you enjoy this as well. And unlike most, I won't say things like, "I NEED 10 MORE COMMENTS TO CONTINUE". As long as the comments are constructive, and honest, I can post any time. I love writing, and I hope you enjoy my tales.

Song

"Mmm. MMM. Mmm, mmm… Mmm. MMM. Mmm, mmm…" The organ's tune echoed throughout the church halls. The couple being wedded had agreed months ahead on gold and red as their decorating colors. And oh, was it beautiful. The walls were champagne color coated, while the church seats were as gold as the true mineral itself. The carpet and banners were scarlet, as were the roses placed on the end of every chair. Two transparent, sparkling chandeliers finally perfected the scene to dazzle friends and family of the future newlyweds. Overall, a very expensive marriage.

More then three hundred people had shown up for the wedlock of one of the famous Mystery Inc's members, Daphne Blake. The announcement of her engagement had come only weeks before. The lucky man was Jacob Burns, the state's most eligible bachelor, as well as a great comedian. Not only was he handsome and rich (if that's not enough), he was also one of the Top 10 most charitable celebrities in the country. Everywhere he went, he would be doing volunteer projects and charity fund raisers. If there was such thing as a perfect guy, he would be it.

With 25 minutes left till her big entrance, Daphne Blake felt the sickness within her stomach maximize with each passing tick. She felt herself being pampered by professional groomers, though she felt uncomfortable with people sitting on the floor, fluffing her dress.

The 19-year-old problems vanished in a smoke puff as she sighted two of her closest friends, and her favorite dog, entering the service area.

"Hey!" Velma Dinkley greeted Daphne with a big hug, and even larger grin. "I can't believe you're getting married today! AH!" Both girls squealed. Velma wasn't much of a girly girl at all; in fact, she was extremely intelligent and had her auburn hair boyishly cut, but it was her best friend's wedding day, and she couldn't have been more gleeful.

"Like, if you aren't the prettiest thing in a million miles!" Said a slender, boy teenager, who had known Daphne for years.

"Oh, Shaggy, you are so sweet!" Daphne stretched her arms around him, and hung there for a few seconds.

"No," he pushed her gently away, and cupped her head in his hands, "I'm truthful. No one deserves this more then you, as long as you promise to come back to Mystery Inc. after your honeymoon."

"Of course I will! After the trip, Jacob is heading to Iraq for several weeks to do some shows, and we both agreed that we can keep our jobs, and still love one another. I really didn't know if we could do it, but thinking about the challenge, I feel fearless! And hopeful."

Shaggy smiled and kissed Daphne for a while longer then Jacob Burns would have liked, but he didn't care. He loved her as his best friend, and having her become betrothed was such a moving experience. He felt water sog his eyes.

"Ahem," Velma said too loudly. She immediately felt redness come to her cheeks.

Daphne turned to the genius woman. "Velma, what was that?"

"You're getting married, remember?" was her joking excuse.

Daph stepped back, and kneeled to the ground. The women lacing her dress gave her a cold stare. She stood back upright.

"Ri'll riss rou, Raphre!" Scoobert "Scooby" Doo, the Great Dane, cried.

"Oh, I'll miss you too, Scooby. But I'll be back in a week, I promise." Scooby looked up and licked her hand. "Besides, we have the reception afterward! And that means wedding cake!"

"Wedding cake!" Shaggy and Scooby chorused. Daphne felt herself being pushed from behind. "Come on, Daph, no bother wasting time!"

"Hold on, Shaggy. We still have time." She felt herself being crowded again by her maids. "Besides, where's Freddy?" She spoke of another extremely close friend. Fred Jones and Daphne were the ones to create Mystery Incorporated.

Velma and Shaggy gave each other "that look". The one that means they know something you don't. Something you don't want to know. But Danger-Prone-Daphne wasn't going to let it slip by.

"What is it? Is Fred okay?"

"Yeah, yeah, he's okay." Velma answered.

"But, uh… well, he's…" Shaggy slurred. "He isn't… uh, he's not…er, exactly… coming."
