All rights go to Warner Bros. Warning: There is nudity, but nothing sexual or explicit. Enjoy.

After spending the whole summer not wearing clothes, Shaggy thought his new habit would come to an end once school started again.

But he was wrong.

He didn't know how it happened, but it seemed that the universe allowed him to be a full-time nudist because he was able to walk into school in his birthday suit. He was a pariah for the first 2 weeks, but it didn't bother Shaggy because he was always seen as weird, so why not embrace the weirdness. After a while, Shaggy's nudity wasn't a big deal anymore and it became normalized. He still had bullies to deal with, but Fred handled that problem.

The one bad thing about being in school was that Scooby couldn't come with him and he was forced to stay home. Not being with his best friend bummed Shaggy out, even though he still had Velma, Daphne, and Fred to talk to. But when he got home, seeing Scooby jump for joy made the day a whole lot better.

On this particular day, it was the day before Halloween and Shaggy and Scooby were talking about their plans with the gang.

"Scoob, you have no idea how excited I am for Halloween tomorrow!" said Shaggy.

"I know, Shaggy. You've been talking about it all week." said Scooby.

"Yeah, and it's almost here! That bucket full of candy can't come soon enough." said Shaggy.

"But what are you going to wear for a costume?" asked Scooby.

"Honestly, Scoob, I didn't know what to do this Halloween. I thought about painting my whole body but that would take too long and be too much effort. I didn't want to wear an outfit either because it would go against my nudism life." said Shaggy.

"So, what are you going to do?" asked Scooby.

"Well, Velma had an idea, but she'll give me the costume tomorrow, so I don't know what to expect. But at least, I'll have my first Halloween with you." said Shaggy.

"I know. Hopefully, nothing too scary happens." said Scooby.

"We might have to deal with some spooky and scary stuff, but it shouldn't be too bad. We'll watch each other's backs." said Shaggy.

"I'll protect you if any happens, Shaggy." said Scooby.

"Thanks, bud. And I know what you're waiting for, and I'll give it to you now." Shaggy said before pulling out a jar of peanut butter and a butterknife.

Like most dogs, Scooby loved peanut butter. It was his favorite food next to Scooby Snacks. But recently, Shaggy and Scooby have been doing a thing. You see, Scooby found out that Shaggy's feet were very ticklish and when Scooby licked them, Shaggy couldn't stop laughing. So, in a way that would satisfy them both, Shaggy would rub peanut butter on his feet and Scooby would lick them, while tickling him at the same time. It was their special thing that they were never going to tell anyone else.

Shaggy opened the peanut butter jar and stuck the butterknife into it and when he pulled it out, he proceeded to spread the peanut butter across his soles and toes on both of his feet. When he was done, he laid down on his bed and had his feet placed on the edge of the bed.

"Alright, Scoob, go at it." said Shaggy.

And Scooby didn't waste any time as he quickly licked the peanut butter off Shaggy's feet, which made Shaggy laugh hysterically. If there was one thing Scooby loved more than peanut butter and Scooby Snacks, it was making Shaggy happy. Without Shaggy, Scooby wouldn't even have a home, so making sure Shaggy was in good spirits was his main priority.

When Scooby was done licking, Shaggy used some paper towels to wipe off the rest.

"You did good today, Scoob. Thanks." Shaggy said before he rubbed Scooby's head.

"No problem, Shaggy." said Scooby.

"Tomorrow's going to be great." said Shaggy.

"I'm sure it will be." said Scooby.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Boy, it feels awkward to write this story now when the Scoob! Sequel got canned due to the Warner Bros. Discovery merger. That whole merger has been a hot mess, but I don't want to get into it (RIP Close Enough, Infinity Train, etc.). Anyway, this story will last 5 chapters, just like its' predecessor, and the next chapter will take place on Halloween night and Shaggy's Halloween costume will be revealed. Also, I'm working on a ton of stories right now (mostly new ones), so stay tuned for more updates. Other than that, I hope you all have a wonderful day. Bye for now and stay safe.
