Sorry, it took so long to update. I lost the book I had where I wrote my dreams. I found it and now its time to start writing again. ^-^


Daphne had fainted onto Ace's kitchen floor and Scooby just stared at Ace in disbelief. Rolling her eyes, Ace dragged Daphne to her couch and set her up there; Scooby not far behind her. Making sure Daphne appeared comfortable, Ace went up stairs to her bedroom to finish dechipering the coded messages she found around the rim of the vase in a nearly invisible golden ink. As she sat up there, the past few months finally caught up to her. Completely and utterly exhausted, Ace feel asleep after tucking the vase safely away in her special hiding place. As she laid there, her hands placed delicately on her stomach Ace started slipping into a dream of her grandmother again.

Kartazyna had just turned 16, yet instead of a birthday party she was in the hospital with her grandmother sitting at her side as the doctors diagnosed her with a progressed form of ovarian cancer. 16 year old Kartazyna just sat there crying as her grandmother spoke softly to her in Italian telling her not to cry, that her grandma will be in no more pain in a much better place. Kartazyna gently caressed her grandma's balding head again. This time her grandma appeared next to her, looking like she always had. Her long black Italian hair flowing over her shoulders, the piercing blue eyes held so much life and of course the life in her voice as she spoke to her in accented english.

"Zyna amore. Dun cry for your grandma. Everything is better now.. You need to take care of yourself little one... You'll have one of your own soon... You must be much more careful now.. I must go. Wake up."

Ace woke up with a start as Scooby nudged her gently. She looked at her clock and noted that it was already 5, the gang would be coming by soon and she needed to get some things clear with Daphne. She knew that if she didn't, Daphne would tell the gang about the baby and she didn't want that to happen... Not yet. Ace slowly climbed out of her bed and made her way downstairs as Daphne sat there and shook her head continously; mumbling to herself about Ace. Ace cleared her throat and Daphne whipped her head around fast.

"Are you done with the whole shock thing now Blake? The gang will be down here soon... And lets get this straight..." Ace squat down in front of Daphne, pain and anger showing in her eyes," THEY don't need to know about this got it?"

"And why would I NOT---"

"Because, I'm not as weak as I look. I know things that would scare you Daphne Blake.. I know about your Daddy's company going under a few years ago. I know about the late night calls to your ex Derrick.."

Daphne looked at Ace in disbelief as the doorbell rang and Scooby ran up to the door opening it; Freddy was standing there alone. Ace stood up slowly and smiled in his direction.

"Come in Freddy. Daphne and I were just talking about keeping Scooby here and some of my more recent findings... Isn't that right Daphne?"

"Y-y-Yeah. She said she's found nothing so far.. Nothing new at least. And she'd be happy to keep Scooby here for as long as he wants to stay..."

Freddy just nodded slowly, his eyebrow raising slowly before he shrugged.

"You've been gone for a while Daphne. We have another mystery on our hands.. This one is more important than the last... Someone has kidnapped Ruby Doo and we need Scooby and Ace... IF she wants to come.."

"No thanks Freddy, I need to finish some stuff and some cleaning... I haven't been around... So, I need to stay here..."

Freddy nodded as Daphne stood up and Scooby trotted out the door. Once they were gone, Ace splayed out on the couch and began tearing up as she rubbed her stomach. Sitting up, she decided it was time she went to her special place. With that she walked over to her bookcase, pulled out one of the larger books and waited as there were a numerous amount of clicks and machinery whirling. The bookcase then opened up to reveal a winding passage way; with that, Ace headed down into the abyss.
