"They want us to come out?" Frankie questioned.

"That's what they say but I'm still skeptical," Christina sighed drumming her fingers on the conference table.

"Why?" Shaggy asked.

"Well, you tell me," Christina deadpanned.

"Like, sorry I asked," Shaggy gulped nervously.

"So, what are we going to do?" Sibella said redirecting the conversation.

"I don't know, Bella. I really don't know," Christina admitted, raking her hands through her hair as she spoke.

"May I make a suggestion?" Robecca asked as she and DJ entered the room.

"Shoot,"

"Maybe we should send one out, just one to see their intentions,"

"Good idea but who?"

"Like, send me" Shaggy declared.

"NO, not happening,"

"Christina-"

"Don't Christina me, what if they're lying I might lose you and I couldn't handle that,"

"Christina, like, hear me out first. IF they're lying and the hunters do go after me I'll have the skills to get away,"

"He has a point," Draculaura said.

"I AM NOT GOING TO LOSE SHAGGY,"

"You won't," Clawdeen cried as the door suddenly swung open.

"What?"

"They let us travel without an issue and taking the hunter base was a piece of cake," Duncan explained stepping into the room with Kenny and Margret.

"Tell us about it,"

"I was going to,"

…...


Duncan and Clawdeen were stealthy as they approached the Hunter HQ. Sure, humans were starting to see the light but they still had to be cautious about the mission they were currently on. Clawdeen had come against EVERYONE'S wishes. Her excuse had been "I'm pregnant, not helpless" and since challenging the Alpha of all Werewolves was a very pointless endeavor they gave up. Christina's instructions for this mission had been crystal clear.

Free the prisoners.

Spare the hunters.

DO NOT KILL.

Level the prison.

Again, spare the hunters.

Velma had provided the two with a detailed map while Christina had given them a list of undercover agents. So, armed with this knowledge the two made their move. Sneaking into the detention level through a secret tunnel that had been built by allies before them. What they saw once they got inside was utterly repulsive. Every kind of monster, every kind of creature that wasn't human and aligned with the hunter cause was restrained, mistreated on the cusp of death. Duncan had come prepared with a remote lock thanks to DJ and Robecca. With the push of a button, the cell doors slid open and that was what caused the alarms to sound. As hunters poured into the room Clawdeen and Duncan stood back to back each armed with tranquilizer guns and kegs of sleeping powder.

"Attack," Fred ordered as he cocked his rifle.

Before he could shoot it was knocked out of his hand by a double agent. The double agents had watched the broadcast along with everyone else and because of this they had discarded their hunter uniforms and now stood proudly in their individual clothing with blue ribbons tied around their arms to show they were part of the Resistance.

"Traitors!" Fred roared as the room descended into absolute chaos.

Ten rounds of darts and all the powder later Clawdeen, Duncan and the rest of the Resistance stood victorious amidst all of the sleeping hunters. Since it was now safe Margret and Kenny crawled out of their cells and rushed to embrace Clawdeen and Duncan.

"Mom, we have important news for you," Duncan said suddenly sound as grave as he possibly could.

"What is it?" Margret asked concern filling her voice.

"Well, there's no easy way to say this but-,"

"What?"

"You're going to be a Grandmother to twins,"

…...


Shaggy gulped as he stepped out of the underground base. In just a few steps he would be out in the open for the world to see. He turned back to the base entrance where Christina was watching with mild concern. It had taken some coaxing on the team's part but she was willing to let Shaggy go on the condition that she would see him off and await his return.

"It'll be okay, Christina I'llbe back in a few minutes,"

"What if you aren't?"

"Then the human world will bear your wrath,"

"You know me better than that,"

"I know," Shaggy whispered as he pressed a kiss to Christina's forehead "But you won't have to worry,"

"Be safe,"

"I will,"

With those parting words, Shaggy stepped out into the open before breaking into a run and heading for town. When he got there people were shocked. Shaggy raised his hands up to show he meant no harm and was astounded when the surrounding people approached him with compassion rather than far. He was even more surprised to see his sister. When Sugie saw him she nearly knocked him over in a tight hug.

"I missed you,"

"Like, I missed you more,"

"Are-are there more monsters in the forest?" Sugie asked nervously.

"Yes, they sent me to make sure that you all weren't just trying to trick us,"

"We aren't," the crowd chorused.

"Then I'll go get the others-"

"Shaggy, can I come with you?" Sugie pleaded.

"Why not?"

…...


Christina, true to nature was pacing back and forth beside the entrance when Shaggy returned with Sugie in tow.

"So, it's true then?" she questioned eyeing Sugie warily.

"Like, yeah it is and I brought someone you should meet. Christina this is my sister Sugie,"

Sugie nervously walked toward Christina who seemed imposing. She remembered her from the broadcast days prior. She had spoken with such passion she seemed beyond dedicated to her cause and thus, Sugie was scared that she wouldn't be welcomed. The fourteen-year-old was surprised when Christina bent down to her eye level and offered a smile that seemed to light up the space around them.

"It's good to finally meet you Sugie," Christina said kindly.

"Nice to meet you too,"

"Would you like to help me lead the others out?" Christina offered.

"Could I?"

"Yes,"

…...


Christina's cheeks hurt from all the smiling she was doing. Shaggy was right. The humans welcomed them when they entered the town. The took the ill and wounded monsters to the hospitals and consulted with the doctors and nurses from the base. The children were welcomed by their peers before getting reunited with long-lost family. The monsters as a whole were given homes in which to live, the humans really had changed. And when they saw Christina at the forefront of the parade into town they saluted her! They welcomed her with applause. It was just a bit overwhelming.

They had done it! They had won and even though a long road of healing was ahead of them it felt oh so good.

"Christina?" Shaggy asked.

"Yes?"

"I have an important question for you,"

"What is it?"

"Will you marry me?"
