Shaggy looked around the dark basement with caution. even though this was the basement of Mystery Inc headquarters you could never be too careful. After all, there could've been monsters hiding from view anywhere in the moved slowly across the room to the stack of boxes with his name on them. He stopped and looked at them trying to decide where to start. he decided to go with his earliest elementary school days and go from there. He carried the boxes back upstairs and set them down in the living room. Just as he opened the first box Fred and the girls returned from their weekly trip to the supermarket.
"Hey, Shaggy where's Scooby?" Velma asked looking around for the great Dane.
"Oh, he's sleeping under the table" Shaggy replied.
"What's with the boxes?" Daphne asked.
"I'm looking for something"
"What?"
"Answers"
"To what?" Daphne asked in confusion.
"I'll tell you after we unload the groceries"
After the groceries had been brought in and put away the gang sat down to hear what Shaggy had to say.
"I think whoever has been saving Scooby and I has something to do with my past".
"Anyway, we can help?" Fred asked.
"You can help me go through all this stuff"
"Okay, let's see what we've got" Fred replied as Shaggy opened the first box.
"Awe you were so small" Daphne squealed seeing a picture of Shaggy in pre-k.
"Look at how small Scooby was" Fred pointed out.
Scooby looked like a brown and black fluff ball with huge paws.
The gang sifted through graded papers, pictures, and art projects. at the bottom of the box was a yearbook. Shaggy picked it up and begun flipping through it.
"Find anything Shaggy?" Velma asked as she begun stacking papers back into the box.
"There are three girls in my kindergarten class with black hair"
"The girl who's been saving you has black hair?" Fred asked.
"From what I could see" Shaggy replied.
"Grace Parks, Daisy Stevens and, Lydia Baxter"
"Shaggy do you know anything else about this girl?"
"No"
"Let's keep looking"
Well it can't be Daisy she moved to California" Velma announced from her seat at the computer later that day.
"Did you find anything on Grace or Lydia?" Shaggy asked as he continued looking through boxes.
"Nothing yet"
"I found something" Fred declared.
"What is it?"
Fred handed Shaggy his third-grade yearbook. There was a giant picture of their class holding up a giant banner that said: GET WELL SOON LYDIA.
"I think I remember this" Shaggy said softly as he tried to remember the details.
"I remember as well," Velma said as she looked at the picture.
"Didn't she have cancer?" Daphne asked.
"I think so"
"Look's like Shaggy and Lydia were friends" Fred commented as he looked through the rest of the box.
"Then why don't I remember any of this?" Shaggy asked quite confused.
"Sometimes we just forget things Shaggy" Velma replied.
"Why don't we ask your parents if they remember Lydia?" Fred suggested.
"Good idea"
"To the van"
Review, please.
