Scooby Doo
And The Mystery of Love
Chapter 4
Once they was all in the Mansions Hallway, a young and handsome boy, the same age as Daphne walked into the hall and soon noticed the Gang and walked over to them.
Once Daphne had noticed him she gave a cute flirty smile towards him and of course he noticed her and smiled back, suddenly Fred Stepped in front of Daphne and faced the boy.
Fred: "Hi, I am Fred and this is the gang" Shacking the boys hand
Boy: "Hi, I'm Mark, nice to meet you and let me guess, your Shaggy" He said smiling at Shaggy and shacking his hand.
Shaggy: "Hey man, how you know?"
Mark: "Well, you got Fred, so all there was left out of the guys was Shaggy and Scooby Doo, and I wouldn't think you were called Scooby Doo". Mark said smiling at Velma
"You must be Velma and Scooby Doo" He said shaking Velma's hand and Scooby paw.
Soon Mark looked at Daphne and Smiled and Fred noticed and stood closer to Daphne, He walked over to her
Mark: "And this little beauty must be Daphne" He said taking Daphne's hand and kissing it that was followed by a chuckle from Daphne and a glare from Fred.
Daphne: "Yes, I am" Daphne said smiling at the tall dark haired boy.
Fred had enough, and had to stop him going any further.
Fred: "So, what's the problem?"
Mark: "Don't know, u need to talk to ma Granddad, he is in the lounge, but I got to go, got footy, see you all later" Mark said smiling and picking up his bag and going out of the door.
Soon the whole gang went into the Lounge and was greeted by a tall Grey haired and kind of handsome man called Derek Hall.
The gang sat down and listened to what the man had to say.
Derek: "There have been some sightings of a couple of ghosts in the house and grounds, who are trying to kidnap girls about your age" He said soon gesturing to Daphne after he said girls about your age.
Fred: "How do you know they are after girls Daphne's age sir?"
Derek: "My Granddaughter and a couple of her friends the same age as Daphne stopped here 2 nights ago and the ghost kept trying to capture them"
Daphne: "That's horrible; I don't want to get captured…..again!"
Fred: "Don't worry Daphne, I won't let them touch you" He said slipping his hand into hers and squeezing it tightly so she knew he meant it, it also received a cute smile from Daphne. "Or anyone for that matter" He said under his breath.
Velma: "So, what would you like us to do?"
Derek: "I was wondering if you kids could get rid of these so called ghosts from here, so I can have my Granddaughter visit me".
Shaggy: "Y.you wants us to get rid of some ghosts for you… like N…" Shaggy said quivering until Velma covered his mouth with her hand
Velma: "We would love to help you our Mr. Hall. Velma said smiling and a wide eyed Shaggy.
Derek: "Thank you so much…I am very sorry but I have business to attend to and please be careful Daphne" He said smiling and walking out of the room.
All the Gang stood up and Started to look round for clues around the house as usual, but Daphne was just standing looking out of the window and holding herself and Fred soon noticed and walked up to her.
Fred: "You ok Daph?" Fred said putting his hands on her shoulders and squeezing them a little
Daphne: "To be honest Fred, I'm scared this time" Daphne said hanging her head
Fred: "It's ok Daph, we all get scared sometimes" He said slowing wrapping his arms around her waist and putting his head on her shoulder and swaying her side to side a little.
Daphne: "Thanks Freddie" She said leaning her head against hers.
Fred soon grabbed her waist and turned her to face him and caressed her cheek that made her smile.
Fred: "I won't let anything happen to you" He said with all his heart and soul and kissed her on the cheek and let her go
Daphne: "Thank you Freddie" She said looking and smiling at him
Fred: "Come on, we better get searching, but stay close to me ok." Fred said pulling her along by the hand and soon was out of the room.
