Note: Scooby-doo and any other character from the Scooby-doo series/movies rightfully belong to Hanna-Barbara (which personally, I think they are the best) I am although, a huge fan of Scooby-doo and this story came to me literally in a dream.

When Ace woke up, she was laying comfortably in bed in a dimly lit room. She sat up with a ominous feeling in her stomach, and threw her legs over the side into something big and furry. She nearly screamed when it made a noise; she realized it was only Scooby but where were they? Scooby sat up and looked at her just as confused. She placed her fingers to her lips and stood up; Scooby followed right behind her on his tip toes. Ace quietly opened the door and slipped into the hallway. Scooby walked in front of her and opened the door to a room, slipping quietly inside; Ace followed. Once inside she noticed a figure laying in the bed and quietly jumped on it.

"Oomph! Like Scoob!" Ace blushed yet again as Shaggy took the covers off his face. "Oh. Its you Ace."

Ace quickly got off him and sat on the edge of the bed; rubbing her forehead.

"Dude, what happened? Where are we Shags?" she asked looking around. "And how long have I been out?"

"Like, Old Man Spaduzzi is one rich cat. Like, we're behind that wall.. You like, totally fainted Kartazyna..."

Ace placed her hand over Shaggy's mouth and glared.

"Shush. No one calls me that anymore. It's Ace..."

"Groovy... So like, why Ace."

Ace leaned back slightly exposing her stomach and lower hip. Shaggy looked and nodded with Scooby. She had a tattoo of an Ace of Spades on her hip with a sword through it. She sat back up and looked over at Shaggy, smiling softly. Shaggy smiled back at her causing her heart to flip.

"So.. How long have I been out Shagster?" She asked scratching Scooby behind his ears.

"a reek." Scooby said. Ace's eyes got really wide and looked at Shaggy, who nodded. She laid down on top of the covers and stared off into space. That's when Ace noticed she was wearing different clothes from when she and the others were captured.

"Who..?"

"Like, Velms and Daph..."

Ace nodded then curled up. Upon seeing her so upset Shaggy walked over, sat down and gently rubbed her side. Ace smiled softly; she loved Shaggy so much and she appreciated their friendship. She placed her hand on Shaggy's thigh and smiled at him. In her mind, she had a flashback.

****FLASHBACK****

it was the last day of Middle School, that next year Kartazyna Martin was going to be a freshman in High School along with her very best friend Norville Rogers. That day, she was meeting up with him and his dog Scoobert "Scooby" Doo at the local Coolsville Malt Shop. She was excited to go see him, she's been in love with him since second grade. She ran the entire way to the malt shop, hoping that Shaggy hadn't started eating without her. When she got there she was slightly shocked that the entire Mystery Gang was there with Shaggy and Scooby. She wasn't exactly disappointed but she was hoping it was just going to be those three. She walked in silently and sat down next to Freddy.

"Hiya Mr. Jones, Ms. Dinkley and Ms. Blake." She said with a smile, not acknowledging Shaggy or Scooby on purpose; the others rolled their eyes. Kartazyna frowned a bit then got up and ordered a marshmallow, gummy bear and banana pizza slice. She started eating it when Scooby gave her those eyes and she gave him the rest of her pizza. Scooby smiled and went back over to Shaggy, but he seemed upset; Kartazyna sat down.

"Shaggy... What's wrong?" She asked placing an arm around him. Shaggy looked up at the others then at Kartazyna.

"Like, we're back into mysterious..."

"Oh..." Kartazyna frowned and stood up. "I see... I have to go now.. I gotta get home." Her voice held tears as she looked at Fred, Velma and Daphne. They looked just a tad bit sad but just went back to their malts. Kartazyna leaned over, gave Scooby and kiss on his nose then Shaggy on his cheek. She walked to the door and whispered softly.

"I love you Norville."

*******End Flashback*******

The flashback made Ace smile and frown at the same time, and she gently caressed Shaggy's leg. Scooby, seemingly knowing where this was going licked their faces and walked to the door.

"Like, Scoob.. Where are you going?"

"Rown the rall.." Scooby said as he walked out the door and down to Velma's room. Shaggy shrugged and went back to rubbing Ace's back. He looked down at her and smiled, blushing slightly. Ace sat up, placed her hand gently on his face and smiled.

"Like, what were you thinking about Ace. That like made you make that face..."

She sighed still smiling," I thought about when you guys started doing mysteries again.. and how much the gang hates me... You know Shaggy... That day you told me that.. I was going to tell you something important... But that was then.. this is now."

Shaggy gulped slightly; Ace gently placed her lips on his, kissing him softly. When she pulled away Shaggy was stunned. This was the same girl who grew up next door to him, she used to make him his favourite hero sandwiches after every mystery and before middle school ended got him to stop smoking seven pounds of weed everyday before school, even if he'd have the permanent munchies. Ace sat up and got off the bed when Shaggy caught her arm, spinning her around; Ace had just started to tear up thinking Shaggy didn't want her, but he did. He pulled her down into his lap and kissed her deeply. At first she was shocked but then, she relaxed and got into it. Shaggy leaned her back on the bed, gently moving her shirt up. She stopped him and smiled; taking her shirt off for him. He couldn't stop staring at her, she had filled out since he last really been around her; what got him was the way her hips curved and of course her lips and eyes. They were just so perfect. He stroked her hair after removing his pants and hers. She kissed him again as he entered her and began pumping away.

a few hours later, after more pumping and screaming, Ace and Shaggy laid there in each others arms; Ace's head rested on Shaggy's chest. As they lay there, Scooby walked back in with Daphne, Fred and Velma.

"OH MY GOD!" Daphne exclaimed sheilding Freddy's eyes, Velma doing the same for Scooby. Ace quickly covered her face as she turned a bright red and curled up next to Shaggy.

"Heh. Well, this is quite awkward..." She said underneath the covers. Shaggy quickly got his pants on under the covers and stood up; he gathered Ace's clothes and gave them to her. She quickly slipped back into her clothes and stood behind Shaggy. She backed into the shadows hoping they would move so she could run out of there in embarassment. Only Scooby could see the hurt and anger in Velma's eyes as she looked at Shaggy and Ace, and he sighed licking her hand.

"Oh right Scoobs." Velma removed her hand and Daphne removed hers. Fred just looked at Shaggy and shook his head; slightly smiling.

"So..." Fred started but was cut off as Daphne slapped Ace as hard as she could. Ace looked at Daphne then at the others before running out the room.
