Daphne opened the door to the large bedroom she would be sharing with Fred. She took his hand as the two of them entered and she had to admit, it was perfect. Everything was so clean, given that it hadn't been used before and everything was either grey or white, albeit subtle, purple things such as cushions and a few statement pieces. The colour purple definitely run in the family. "Daph this is great. I can't believe your uncle agreed to let us share a room all summer!" Fred smiled as he spoke and pulled her in for a soft kiss. "Well he knows we can't really spend much time alone just hanging out because of school, mysteries and our parents being home quite often. Plus, Uncle Thorny has always been the cool family member." The two kissed again, this time deeper as Fred placed his arms around her waist, pulling her closer as their mouths moved in rhythm. "You know we have some time before we meet the others for dinner…" Fred trailed off whilst leaving a trail of kisses down her neck. Daphne's eyes briefly closed as she allowed him to continue.
Meanwhile, in her room, Velma was busy reading a book about myths in Erie Pointe. The place that the country club was in, the place they had been warned about a lake monster. Naturally, Velma had taken it upon herself to educate herself on the area just in case there was any truth in what the crazy lady at the gas station had said.
Next door, Shaggy and Scooby had tuned into the TV, watching a Vincent Van Ghoul movie whilst nearing the end of a share bag of Doritos. "Like Scoob.." Shaggy began nervously. "What do you think of the whole dating thing?" Scooby furrowed his bushy eyebrows at his best friend wondering where exactly this was going. "Ruh Ri don't row."
"Like Fred and Daphne are pretty good together, even before we knew they were dating they had something cool going on." Shaggy was thinking about all the times Fred had saved Daphne on their mysteries and the looks they gave each other ever since they all met in detention that day. "Ri don't runderstand rhat you mean Raggy."
"I'm just saying Scoob, its something exciting like having that special someone you can share everything with." Shaggy looked deep in thought as he spoke. Scooby was just clueless about the situation as he had never known Shaggy to speak about something like this. "Rou have me Raggy, we ralways share food." Shaggy smiled at Scooby, his intentions were nice but he clearly wasn't understanding the hint. Shaggy had been thinking about him and Velma for a couple of weeks now, but since today when Daphne and Fred were publicly acting like a couple it had got him thinking deeper. Shaggy decided to just leave the conversation there for now. Maybe Scooby wasn't the best person to try to have this conversation with. He decided to talk to Fred whenever they had any free time just the two of them.
Fred rolled over, groaning as the sound from his iPhone pounded on the table next to the bed. He saw it was Velma's caller ID and quickly answered the call. "Hi Velms, what's up?" he asked, rubbing his eyes with his free hand. "What are you guys doing! We're outside your room waiting to go for dinner. You know like we arranged?" Fred detected the annoyance in her voice in the last sentence. He looked at the clock across the room and saw that it was 6:50pm. They had decided to meet outside of their bedrooms at 6:45 and eat at 7pm. Fred panicked "We'll be right there!" he didn't wait for a response and hung up the phone. He turned back to where he had been spooning Daphne and began shaking her lightly. "Daph. Daphne wake up! We're really late for dinner Velma just called and they're outside." They hadn't meant to fall asleep after they had sex but after their long drive they had become too exhausted to stay awake. Daphne bolted up after Fred had spoken. "OH NO! I don't have time to shower!" Fred rolled his eyes before they hurried around trying to find some clothes.
A few minutes later they opened their door to find Velma with her arms folded, Shaggy tapping his foot and Scooby laying on the carpet. "It's like, about time." Shaggy impatiently said.
"What took you guys so long!" Velma was also evidently still annoyed but Daphne shot her an 'I'll explain later look' and they just headed to the country club restaurant to have dinner.
Nothing interesting happened at dinner. The gang had a nice time enjoying a night of relaxing and just being teenagers without the worries of school or mysteries, just generally enjoying each other's company. They went to bed early to prepare themselves for their first day of work. The first of many that summer. They had to earn the money to pay back Old Man Frickert's farm somehow, after burning down the barn!
