A/N: So I've been reading Scooby-Doo fanfiction for a long time but I've never seen myself as someone who is capable of writing it because I much prefer other people's stories so here we go. I've recently been rewatching as many Scooby-Doo movies and shows as I can because I missed it, it was legit my entire childhood. I'm a huge Fraphne shipper and when I rewatched Curse of the Lake Monster last night I was reminded of how disappointed I was with the entire relationship thing. So I'm going to redo the entire movie my way (focusing on Fraphne of course) but I'm going to change things up A LOT so its probably only going to be loosely based off the film. So it might not be to everyone's taste but it's just something I thought would be fun to do. Leave a review if you like. AJ.
The sun beamed down on Coolsville High, signalling the beginning of summer break. A break that all of the gang had been waiting for, deservingly (even if it did involve having a summer job). However, one member of the gang was looking forward to the end of school more than the others as he sat at his desk, staring intently at the clock until the bell rang. Shaggy shrieked with excitement as the loud bell echoed through the classroom, a bunch of other classmates jumped up from their seats and made their way outside to begin their summer.
Shaggy exited the main doors of the school, frantically searching around for his best buddy Scooby-Doo. "Raggy!" a voice yelled. Shaggy turned his head to the right, to see the huge Great Dane bounding over to him and swiftly knocking him to the ground, proceeding to lick his face.
"Like Scoob! You're excited for summer too huh?" Shaggy asked, lightly pushing Scooby off him and patting his head. "Reah! RI'm excited ro go to rhe country club."
"Like of course you are Scoob, you don't have to work like the rest of us!" Shaggy playfully punched Scooby, to which he crossed his arms.
"Come on guys we're supposed to be meeting Fred and Daphne at the Mystery Machine approximately 4 minutes ago!" A familiar voice called out from behind them. It could be none other than Velma Dinkley with that kind of precision.
"Hey Velms! Yeah the van is right over there." Shaggy pointed to his left where the gang's van was parked up. "Weird that they aren't there yet huh." Velma rolled her eyes having a pretty good idea where Fred and Daphne would be. Unbeknownst to Fred and Daphne, the rest of the group were fully aware that they had started dating some months earlier despite their efforts to keep it a secret. They were too blind sighted by each other they were useless at being discreet. They would often forget themselves and hold hands on mysteries, before quickly pulling away and acting awkward around the gang. Velma, Shaggy and Scooby often laughed together whenever they saw them act that way. It was sort of a secret between the group divide, with Fred and Daphne thinking their relationship is a secret, and the others pretending they didn't know that they were dating.
"Well, let's get this over with." Shaggy laughed as the three of them arrived at the van. Velma and Scooby tried to muffle their laughs as Shaggy grabbed hold of the door handle for the sliding van door. With a strong pull, the van door moved, revealing Daphne straddling Fred, mid make-out. They quickly pulled away with their mouths forming O's as they knew their 'secret' had been exposed.
"This isn't what it looks like!" Fred exclaimed as Daphne climbed off his lap, turning a shade of red. The others laughed and shook their heads before Velma spoke. "Guys, you do realise we've known about this for months, right? In fact, you couldn't have been more obvious about it!" Fred and Daphne looked shocked for the second time in the past 2 minutes. "Uh- well I guess we just thought it would be better if you guys didn't know. Yanno for the sake of the group and all." Fred explained, looking at Daphne for confirmation. She nodded, "Yeah we didn't want you guys thinking it would be weird or anything."
"There's always been an undeniable chemistry between you two. It would be crazy to ignore that." Velma smiled, indicating on behalf of everyone else that their relationship was approved, regardless of the shift in group dynamics that might occur. Scooby licked both Fred and Daphne approvingly. "Well Daph, at least we don't have to try to be subtle about it anymore." Fred commented, making them all laugh at the foolish attempts they already had at making it subtle.
The gang all got into the van in their respective positions, Fred behind the wheel with Daphne sat beside him and Velma beside her. Shaggy and Scooby sat in the back of the van, eating a box of Scooby Snacks as usual. "Summer jobs here we come." Fred groaned, not that he didn't have the work ethic, but that he just wanted to enjoy a carefree summer spent with his girlfriend. It had been a long few months of intense mystery solving, and they could've all used a simple break.
A/N AGAIN… This chapter is pretty short but I literally just did it in one go and wanted to quickly set it up. I know everyone knows the general plot but as I said I'm probably going to change a hella lot about the movie. Let me know what you think so far I understand its pretty basic at the moment and more is to come.
