"Got enough there?" Fred laughed as Daphne brought out a large suitcase; she stuck her tongue out playfully as he loaded it into the Mystery Machine. As the gang themselves got into the van - taking their usual places: Scooby and Shaggy in the back, Velma by the right window in the front, Fred in the driver's seat and Daphne next to him – the question of who Freddie loved vexed Daphne.
"Uh, so where are we going?" Daphne asked the blonde driving,
"We're going to 'Crystal Cove', it's only forty-five minutes from 'Coolsville'. The Mayor has been complaining of strange ghostly appearances and inexplicable damages to the sights of 'Crystal Cove' – such as destruction and vandalism. And as for hospitality, we're staying at Velma's cousins." Fred explained.
"Like, is that the hot blonde you've been talking to on the internet?" Shaggy asked insensitively, not thinking about Daphne;
"Hey!" Velma reached across and punched Fred jokingly.
"Her name's Malory." He informed Shaggy. Daphne frowned – she hated this Malory already,
"Stupid bimbo." She mumbled under her breath, crossing her arms displeasingly, hoping this aggravating conversation would soon end.
"Ralerie sounds rerrible." Scooby chuckled; Velma frowned at the Great-Dane, "Sorry Relma." He repented before chuckling once more; Daphne couldn't help but smirk.
"She's like totally hot though, I'm pretty jealous of you though Fred dude." Shaggy remarked,
"Why so?"
"Because she like, totally digs you man."
Daphne scowled; Fred laughed but ceased as he looked at the frowning red-head, slumping in her seat.
"No way Shaggy, she's more into you." He said, briefly taking his eyes from the road to discreetly signal Shaggy to leave the subject. The rest of the journey was oddly quiet; Daphne was still angry and at the thought of Fred loving someone else, Velma was considering possibilities for the mystery ahead, Scooby and Shaggy were playing video games and Fred was concentrating on the road.
"We're here." Fred broke the silence, "Finally." He mumbled. Malory hurried outside to meet the gang; Daphne secretly glowered at Malory as she kissed Fred on the cheek, Velma hugged her cousin, Shaggy was stuck for words as he practically drooled over her and Scooby jumped up at her as she greeted him, laughing at his excitement. Malory welcomed Daphne,
"Oh you must be the beautiful Miss Blake I keep hearing about." She smiled; Daphne cheered up at the thought of Freddie talking about her and calling her beautiful, she blushed slightly as she shook Malory's hand.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Daphne smiled courteously, 'Maybe she's not so bad' she thought.
"Well come on inside, I'll show you your rooms." She said beckoning them into the large house. The hallway was pretty large – Malory's room was straight up the stairs with a room either side of it, and across the hall there was another set of stairs leading up to two more rooms. Malory pointed to the room at the left of hers,
"This is your room Velma, please get settled while I show the others; then I'll soon have dinner ready." She smiled; then pointing to the room on the right she began to act coy,
"This is handsome Freddie's room." She smiled innocently. Daphne began to scowl once more but being an actress hid it so as not to cause commotion. Malory then showed Daphne to her room; up the small set of stairs to the left and Scooby's and Shaggy's on the right. Daphne closed the door behind her and threw her suitcase on the floor, collapsing onto the bed in anger.
"Sure, she gets the room next to Freddie." She hissed, "And how dare she call him Freddie!"
Velma knocked on the door,
"Hey Daph, Malory's serving dinner, are you coming down?" she asked. At the risk of getting even angrier at Malory, Daphne decided she was hungry,
"Sure." She sighed; linking her best friends arm as they walked to the kitchen.

After dinner Daphne walked upstairs on her own – she'd had enough of Malory being all over Fred. Daphne stopped and looked at Fred's room, the question from earlier still scratching in the back of her mind; in sheer curiosity she opened the door and started looking through his suitcase. 'I hate to intrude, this really isn't like me; but I need to know!' she thought as she rummaged through his things. Suddenly, she heard footsteps in the hall way,
"Crap!" she whispered; rolling under the bed and pulling the covers down so they covered the opening. Hearing someone enter she peeped out too see Fred walk in looking slightly irritated and running his hand through his hair. Shortly afterward Malory entered, head held high, the buttons on her shirt quite the opposite of high. Daphne cursed Malory in her mind, thinking of every bad word she could.
"Hey Freddie," she smiled, acting all innocent.
"Hi Malory." He said back – Daphne couldn't see Fred because he was out of her view but she could hear the seductive tone in his voice. She silently cursed herself for her snooping and held back tears, hoping that she wouldn't have to witness the love of her life making love with, kissing or even holding anyone but her; she didn't want it to happen at all, regardless of if she was there or not. She could see Malory moving closer to Fred,
"Malory, I'm a little tired, I can't do this, sorry." Fred confessed to the flirtatious blonde. Daphne breathed a sigh of relief; but she wasn't out of the woods yet. Malory left the room, shaking her hips to make sure her butt was swaying seductively. Fred looked through his suitcase,
"Where's my comb?" Fred thought aloud; Daphne's eyes widened as she spotted the come under her arm. So as not to draw attention to herself, Daphne pushed the comb away quickly, thinking Fred hadn't noticed; but he had. He lifted the cover from the opening and looked under the bed; he laughed as he saw Daphne curled up sweetly, with an innocent smile on her face – she hoped he wasn't mad at her.
"Hello there." He smiled as he finally stopped laughing, "And what are you doing under my bed?"
"Uh, well, uh, I, uh." Daphne struggled to explain, "I was going to make you jump." She lied, 'What a lame excuse.' She thought.
"Ha-ha, well you did a fine job." He joked, helping her out. She blushed,
"S-sorry." She stammered,
"Ha-ha, it's fine." He smiled warmly

After an eventless day, the gang set out in the evening to see if they could encounter any so called 'ghostly appearances'; Malory of course tagged along, hanging on Fred's arm laughing and flirting as they waited. A scowl had been Daphne's facial normality since the showing of the rooms; she was still hung up on how she called him Freddie and he had let her, and how now she was all over him. Velma looked at the red-head sympathetically as she spotted her sitting alone; but before she could see to her a loud shrieking startled the teenage sleuths. An ugly, creepy looking ghostly figure drifted across the road and disappeared. The events that followed were strange: The alarms of all the cars in the street started to screech, bricks from no-where broke windows and scaffolding from areas being re-built - from the damage caused by the mysterious circumstance – began to fall down, taking parts of buildings with them.
"Well gang, time to split up and search for clues, Da-"
"I'll go with you Freddie." Malory grinned, batting her eyelashes,
"Uh, okay; in that case Velma you go with Daphne, check each and every car, see why the alarms went off and why simultaneously; Shaggy and Scooby, you go check out the area where the ghost came from; Malory and I will check the scaffolding and buildings." Fred instructed.
"Like okay." Shaggy and Scooby gulped, "We always get the scariest part." Shaggy whispered to Scooby. Velma took out two torches,
"A pink one for you Daph." She smiled, "And an orange one for me." Daphne stared after Fred and Malory; "C'mon Daph." Velma pulled the red-head in the direction of a red car.
"Now Daphne, I know you don't like getting your dress dirty so I'll go under the car and you can lo-" Velma looked at Daphne incredulously; she had already slipped under the car and was shining her torch, searching for any possible lead.
"Or I'll go on top." She said.
"Found something." Daphne called from under the car; she pulled out with a small electronic mechanism in hand;
"It's a remote-control alarm." Velma said after studying it, "I could tap into the wireless control and find where the remote was used to start the alarms via the signals." Daphne looked at Velma in confusion,
"I can find where the person was when they set this off." She smiled,
"Oh, awesome, well let's do it then."
"Okay, we'll get the rest of the gang."

The gang and Malory gathered around Velma,
"Okay, it's just searching." Velma informed,
"This stuff is amazing; how they actually find the signal from no-where." Daphne said, bewildered by the technology Velma was using,
"And how you understand all of this." She laughed, placing her hand on the brunette's shoulder. The computer beeped,
"That's weird."
"What Velma?" Asked Fred,
"The signal isn't from 'Crystal Cove', it's from the mayor of Copper Cove's house,
"Then it's him." Malory said, trying to sound smart;
"Not necessarily Malory, we need more clues." Fred replied.
"Like, not tonight." Yawned Shaggy, "I'm way too tired."
"Re too." Agreed Scooby,
"Me too." Echoed Daphne, rubbing her eyes.
"Okay, well search tomorrow morning." Smiled Fred,
"Sounds fine to me." Malory smiled, "Anything you say goes Freddie."
"Night guys." Daphne said quickly – tired of Malory's flirting and Fred letting her – "See you in the morning." She called back as she rushed to her room.
Staring at the ceiling, Daphne heard a knock at the door,
"Come in." She called,
"Hi." Fred grinned at the red-head,
"Oh, hi Frederick." She said grumpily, "What do you want?"
"I was going to make you jump." He grinned; -recalling the excuse Daphne had given when he found her under his bed- Daphne tried to keep her laughter in, but failed.
"Ha-ha, well you nearly gave me a heart attack." She giggled,
"Ha-ha, sorry." Fred took a seat next to Daphne on the bed, "Wassa matta Daphaneey?" Fred said in a comical voice. Daphne was still giggling but giggled harder when Fred spoke, she took a breath,
"Nothing, why?" She replied, hoping he had noticed how quiet she had been,
"You seem, different…" He replied, scanning the red-head's eyes, "For one, you just called me Frederick instead of Freddie and you've been pretty quiet lately; where has the hyperness gone from my dear Daphne?"
"Oh, I guess I've just been tired." She lied, "Plus I'm trying to solve the mystery of who you love…" she paused, "Is it Malory?" She asked, desperately hoping he'd say no,
"That's…" He became nervous and started to frown, "That's none of your business Daphne." He said quickly, "I have to go." He got up and closed the door on his way out. Running to his room, he slammed his door and collapsed on his bed;
"Why do I always get so anxious with this, why can't I just admit that I love her; I love it when she clings to my arm in fear, when she smiles; everything about her is perfect. Why can't I admit it? She clearly likes me back… I hope." Fred said to himself, "But if I tell her, I could hurt another close friend." He sighed, "Soon… soon I'll tell her. Regardless of who I hurt, I need to tell her!"

So who's Freddie talking about? Will the next chapter reveal all? I might not go with my usual ending, happy endings may be getting a little over used in my stories (or not ;D)
I might not have the same couple's in this story, sorry guys. But keep posted to see ;)
Please review ;D
