Well here it is the second chapter.

Enjoy!

7.00am on a saturday morning Velma was sat in the living room of Mystery Inc Headquarters. It had been another restless night for Velma.

Shaggy entered the living room he too hadn't had much sleep that previous night either.

As soon as he saw Velma his lips broke into a soft smile "Hey Velma". Velma looked up and saw Shaggy smiling at her. She smiled back and got butterflies in her stomach.

Shaggy sat down next to her on the couch, they sat there in silence for a while. Breaking the silence Velma asked rather abruptly "Did you have a nice time with Mary Jane last night?"

She just had to know the answer. In a strange way she really hoped that he hadn't. She knew she shouldn't feel like this but she couldn't help it. This was due to the fact that Velma had liked Shaggy for ages. It all started on that Monday night 5 weeks ago Velma had planned to tell Shaggy how she felt that evening.

However on this evening Shaggy wasn't at the Mystery Inc Headquarters. She asked Fred where he was he told her that he was on a date. Her heart plummeted at these last words. Ever since then she had a grudge against this girl.Truth be told Velma didn't much like Mary Jane that much. She didn't care much for her sour attitude and sarcastic nature. Velma always felt feeling insanely jealous of her that she was dating Shaggy. In Velma's eyes she wasn't right for him at all. Mary Jane was so obsessed with her appearance, and she was always trying to get Shaggy to cut his hair, and change his clothing style. However Shaggy refused to do so ever so stubbornly.

"It went ok, I guess" Shaggy said rather doubtfully.

Velma's mood brightened in an instant, "Oh what went wrong" she asked trying not to sound to happy.

"Well she thinks that I have been off with her recently" Shaggy said.

Considering he was saying these words he didn't looked overly troubled about last nights events. Velma wondered why.

"I am sorry to hear that" Velma said.

"Like, its ok" Shaggy said as he shrugged "Truth be told I don't know what has gotten into me. To be completely honest I'm not sure if I was ever that fond of her".

"Well whatever happens here Shaggy I am here for you" Velma said.

Shaggy turned to look at Velma. He had been so fond of her for so long, he had given up on anything happening between weeks ago. But recently he couldn't help feeling that there was something unspoken going on between him and Velma. The reason he went out with Mary Jane was because he was certain that Velma wouldn't like him in that way. He thought Mary Jane seemed like a sweet enough girl and he did kind of think she was cute. So why not date her?

"Thanks Velma" He said, "I know you are always here to support me". He slipped his arm around Velma's shoulder and they shared a hug. They did this often; Velam thought it was just Shaggy being friendly. But what she didn't realise was that Shaggy wouldn't cuddle anyone else like that.

"We decided" Shaggy continued "To go out for the day today and just see how things go".

"Good for you" Velma said with forced happiness.

Velma was dying to tell Shaggy how she felt at this precise moment but she convinced herself she shouldn't, as it would be unfair. He was still seeing Mary Jane whenever she liked it or not.

"Shall we get breakfast?" Shaggy asked Velma standing up and offering his hand to pull her up."Lets" She agreed with a smile as she took his hand.

9.00 o'clock

Fred, Daphne and Scooby where still not present. This was due to the fact that it was a Saturday and they where the late risers of the household.

Shaggy and Velma where the ones who where always up first.

Velma and Shaggy had just finished a breakfast of pancakes.

The doorbell went.

"That will be Mary Jane" Shaggy announced. "He went to let her in" Velma's heart plummeted at the sound of Mary Janes name.

Shaggy came back into the kitchen a minute later followed by Mary Jane.

"Oh Hi" said Mary Jane "Its Thelma isn't it?"

"Velma" Velma corrected with forced politeness.

"Oh ok then!" Mary Jane said with great sarcasm "No need to get touchy it was only a mistake".

Then quite unmistakable Shaggy shot a glare at Mary Jane and then he said, "She was only correcting you there is no need to be like that!"

"Why are you on her side all of a SUDDEN!" Shaggy mumbled "Because, because.."

"Stop your mumbling or we are going to miss the movie!" Mary Jane snapped.

"I'll meet you outside" He told Mary Jane. She stormed out in a huff and Shaggy rolled his eyes.

"Thanks for sticking up for me" Velma mumbled.

Shaggy then did something quite unexpected he leaned forward and kissed her lightly on the cheek and said "I'll see you later" he then hugged her and turned to go before he went out the door he glanced back at Velma gave her a smile.

Velma stood there is a daze.

Shaggy left knowing what he had to do.
