(Fred)

I had followed the mutt since he left. However, even with my expert tracking skills, I'd lost him. I had lost him in the woods. As much as I needed to find him I also had a job to return to. Therefore I put my hunt on hold for now at least.


(Shaggy)

We stayed unusually quiet after her last remark. I focused all my attention on her never breaking eye contact. I knew this was shocking news. I mean, me an ex-monster hunter and Christina the head of a rebel organization. She didn't seem to know what to say next. Which was okay because neither did I. However, I felt I needed to say something but it was just so awkward. Then I thought of something.

"Wait, you've been having dreams too?" I asked.

"The dreams rule works both ways, I cannot believe I didn't put it together sooner," Christina sighed.

"If I may ask what are your dreams like?"

Taking a deep breath Christina explained to me what her dreams were like. I was secretly relieved she hadn't been plagued by the same nightmares as I was. I wasn't sure what to make of this situation. I was wondering if this could change but then she said.

"Apparently we're meant to be,"

I was surprised by how she'd said it so lightheartedly. Almost like she didn't care. As if reading my thoughts she added.

"There's no way out of this,"

"So now what?"

"Lets hit the gym"

"Why?"

"I think better after I hit things,"

"After you then,"


(Christina)

I really, really needed to hit something. How was this even possible? There was no way out of it, no way to change it. Shaggy and I were meant to be but why? Out of all the things I could think of I couldn't draw a conclusion. Even though my wings were still hurt Shaggy and I went on with our combat training. However, this time I just corrected things he was doing wrong. He didn't have a good grasp on his abilities as a werewolf and I needed help so I sent for the experts Clawdeen and Clawd. Howleen came as well to observe. I stepped to the side and took a seat next to Howleen. This was going to be entertaining. Even though I was professional I wanted to see how this was going to go down.

"Five dollars says Shaggy get's his butt kicked,"

I turned in time to see Twyla emerge from the shadows. It didn't surprise me Howleen and Twyla were best friends and near inseparable except when Twyla went on missions.

"Girls," I hissed knowing that Shaggy had heard that.

"Well, it's true," Howleen argued.

"Just watch,"

"Oh, we will,"


(Scooby)

I was starting to wonder where Shaggy was so, I went looking for him. Putting my nose to the ground I tracked his scent to a place that smelt of sweat and tears. Looking up I discovered it was a gym. I walked inside and halted at the sight before me two werewolves were beating Shaggy senseless and Christina was just watching this happen. I did the only thing I could think of charging to the attackers and jumping them. I growled and snarled and tried my very best to look intimidating only to have Shaggy pull me off. I looked up at him and he returned my gaze with a disapproving glare. I looked at Christina who was busy helping up the werewolves.

"I did something wrong didn't I?" I asked sheepishly.

"Yes," Shaggy stated.

"It's okay you were just doing what you believed was right and given what you witnessed I don't blame you," Christina commented.

"I'm sorry,"

"We all make mistakes you'll learn," Christina replied patting me as she did so.

"Well, shall we continue with your training?" one of the werewolves asked.

"I like, think that would be a good idea," Shaggy replied.


(Christina)

Scooby joined Howleen, Twyla and I on the bench to watch Shaggy train. Currently, he was trying to control his hearing. Apparently, he was failing. He howled in pain. If this place didn't have a sound barrier I'd be concerned. I wasn't surprised by Scooby's reaction and I really couldn't blame him. After all he was just trying to protect his friend. I could respect that. However, he also worried me. Could he be a spy? I shook my head. No, I had to stop thinking about this. I needed quiet time. So, I excused myself and walked to my room. I locked the door behind me and slid to the floor eyeing my bookshelves. Hastily I stumbled over and scanned the titles. Werewolves. I pulled fact books off the shelf before dropping to the floor sitting cross-legged absorbing the information like i used to read my favorite fairytale book. As I'd thought we were destined and there was no way out of it. Oh, great. This would just mess up my entire organization if someone found out . Unfortunately...

"You are destined to Shaggy!" Thorn cried bursting through my office door. I forgot she had a key to my office.

Crud.
