Unwanted and special

Recap: Ace has threatened to tell Daphne's business if Daphne discloses to anyone, about the baby. Then she proceeds to have Daphne lie to Freddy before they go off to another mystery. Some has kidnapped.. Excuse me.. Dognapped Scooby's sister. Ruby Doo.

Ace slowly walked down the stairs into her grandmothers underground sanctuary. As she got closer to the doors, she heard the unmistakable sound of dogs talking to one another. She slowly opened the door and walked inside, only to be greeted by Scooby Dum and Ruby Doo.

"Why hello there Dear."

"Hi Ruby, Scooby Dum"

"Eyuck. Hi."

"How are you guys holding up?"

"We're fine sug," Ruby said as she sat down on the couch. Ace sat next to her and gently rubbed her forehead.

"I'm sorry I have to hide you guys up in here like this... But I had a feeling something would happen to you guys if I didn't.. I'll round up the rest of the Doo clan in a couple days... You guys have been reported missing, so this is extremely delicate.. If there is anything I can do to keep you guys comfortable. Let me know okay?"

Ruby and Scooby Dum just nodded slowly. Ruby went back to her knitting and Scooby Dum went back to his sleeping. Ace sat there for a few minutes before her cell phone rang loudly causing her to jump. She glanced at the caller I.D and sighed as her heart began to ache. She hit the talk key and slowly brought it to her ear.

"Hello.."

"Like, Ace..."

"Oh.. Hi Shaggy.. What may I help you with today?"

"Like, no need to be so formal Ace. Its, like, me Shaggy."

"Oh, I thought this was--- You know.. Nevermind. What's up?"

"I talked to Ruby's owner today.. And she gave an eerie description of the person who snatched Ruby.. And Scooby Dum has been, like, dognapped too."

"Oh really? Well, that's not good... I hope you guys can find them soon."

"Like, me too. Hey, I gotta like, go."

Ace hung up the phone quickly as the tears began to sting the back of her eyes. She got off the couch and headed up the stairs as someone knocked on her back door. Grabbing her keys, she quickly ran out the back and to a guy dressed in all black. Within seconds, she was in the passenger seat zooming down the road.

For the first time in a couple months, Fred took both the girls with him and left Shaggy and Scooby to hunt for clues once again. All Scooby could think about was how great it felt to be with this best friend again. Letting his nose do the leading, Scooby and Shaggy quickly found the kitchen of the old Leeson house and began their old habits of raiding the fridge.

"Like, Scoob ol' buddy.. Like, Can you pass me the marshmallows?"

Scooby slide the marshmallow jar across the kitchen counter but Shaggy never got it. Scooby looked up and started whimpering as the Greensburg Ghoul intercepted the jar.

"Like, Scoob.. I asked for the marsh---" Shaggy looked up and the color ran from his face. Screaming, Shaggy and Scooby ran as fast as they could from the kitchen. Upon hearing their screams, Daphne, Fred and Velma came running to them. They ended up colliding into one another and ended up sprawled on the living room floor.

"What happened Shaggy?"

"Like the g-g-ghoul.."

"You saw him?!" Velma and Daphne asked as Shaggy helped Velma up, handing her glasses back to her.

"Reah!" Scooby exclaimed, his knees shivering badly.

"Well gang, its time for a plan..." Velma and Freddy looked at each other for a good five minutes before they walked a few feet away, chatting quietly. When they came back they looked directly at Shaggy and Scooby who then started whimpering and limping, pulled out a small baggie full of Scooby snacks and showed it to him.

"Would you do it for a Scooby snack?" She asked as she opened the baggie, handing on to Shaggy who began munching on a couple happily. Scooby shock his head violently and Daphne held up two fingers, and again Scooby shook his head. As they stood there in awe that Scooby was refusing Scooby snacks, they heard laughter coming from the basement. Shrugging they all decided to investigate. As they walked down, they failed to notice the figure standing by the window; within in seconds, they were gone.

That was a few days ago, Ace had finally managed to gather up the rest of the Doo clan and stash them under her house without drawing attention to herself. These days, she found it much harder for her to get through the day. Daphne kept true to her word and hasn't told the gang about the baby, much to her own disbelief. Ace was coming far from being locked up at Spaduzzi's place, but now she seemed more agitated. It was one of those days for Ace, the baby was moving, she didn't feel well and it was harder and harder to hide the Doo clan from everyone, especially Scooby. The gang had taken him for the past few days so besides the clan in the underground sanctuary, Ace was by herself. She had just sat down on the couch when she heard a knock at the door.

"Damn it, just when I seem to get comfortable... Someone always HAS to show up..." She thought about just sitting there and ignoring it, but this time, they knocked again a bit harder and rang the doorbell. She slowly eased up off the couch, and made her way to the door. When she opened it, she was surprised to see the gang, they were supposed to be in Canada on a trip.

"Um... Come in."

"Like, we can't Kartazygna.. We are, like, on our way to my house.. We have some planning to do."

Ace winced when Shaggy said her real name.

"Yeah!" Velma said smiling up at Shaggy; she then looked at Ace and held out her hand, "Shaggy and I are getting married!"
