"Cut it out Freddie!" Daphne screamed lovingly as Fred pretended to untie her bikini top. She splashed him away from her, making Fred laugh. "Okay, okay I'll stop. If I get a kiss." Daphne rolled her eyes but proceeded to pull her closer to him. She leaned against the side of the pool and wrapped her legs around Fred's waist, pulling him in for a long kiss. The kiss turned as deep as the one in the Mystery Machine the previous day, when Shaggy had exposed them. They broke away after being interrupted, again by Shaggy. "Oh hey Shaggy. Where's Velma?" Daphne asked, noticing he had come alone. "We were on the beach and she suddenly got sick and went to bed." He seemed sad as he spoke. Fred sympathised for him. During their time in the pool he had told Daphne about Shaggy asking for advice on Velma, she thought it was sweet. "Maybe we should check on her." Daphne said, hauling herself out of the pool, leaving Fred to smirk as he watched. Daphne noticed and kicked some water in his face as he was about to follow. "Hey!"
Shaggy had found Scooby on their way to the rooms and had quickly checked on Velma. She had told them she just needed to rest and would see them the next day for work. They had plans to join Thorny for the opening party that night but Velma didn't seem to mind missing out. "I guess we should get ready for the party then." Fred said and the remaining members of the group agreed.
About an hour later, the gang minus Velma were enjoying the opening party. Fred and Daphne were sharing a drink with two straws, staring lovingly into each other's eyes and Shaggy and Scooby looked like they were doing the same but with food and platonically. The atmosphere was nice, a lot of people seemed to be enjoying themselves and the live band. However, it became clear that it was short-lived. All of a sudden, the lights went out and the band stopped playing. A shadowed figure appeared behind the large white curtains, looking like a huge, oversized frog. But that would be impossible. Everything went eerily quiet, all the guests frozen with fear on what was to come. Without warning, the frog-like creature bounded in and began destroying everything in sight; the bands' instruments, tables, chairs flying everywhere. Guests ran away as fast as they could whilst trying to dodge the objects in the air. Scooby and Shaggy had took to hiding behind the buffet which was untouched by the creature. Fred grabbed Daphne's hand and ran behind a table in the corner. They waited for an opportunity to escape but the creature wasn't backing down. With most of the guests fighting their way out of the door, the creature turned it's attention towards Fred and Daphne, picking up the table they were hiding behind. They quickly jumped to their feet and Fred stood protectively in front of Daphne. The creature was about to grab them when all of a sudden, a whirling plate of what looked like spaghetti hit it in the head. It angrily turned around to where Shaggy and Scooby were firing plates of food as a distraction. "Like run guys!" Shaggy screamed, running out after throwing one last place. "ROKAY." Scooby wasted no time zooming out of the door. The creature was left dumbfounded on the floor holding it's head in pain.
Once outside, the gang literally ran into Thorny, knocking him to the ground. "Woah sorry about that Thorny!" Fred exclaimed, offering his arm to the older man. He accepted and climbed up, dusting his suit down with his hands. "Don't worry about it Fred. I'm glad you're all okay. I wish I could say the same for my business." Throny gestured towards the angry and fearful guests leaving. "Almost half of the guests just cancelled their membership. The country club is doomed thanks to the freaky frog." Fred and Daphne exchanged glances, Shaggy knew what this meant and he hit himself on the forehead. "Don't worry Uncle Thorny, leave it to Mystery Inc!"
