"Not again." Daphne whimpered as she tugged at the handle on the car door, "Open the car Johnny."

He could hear the slight panic in her voice as she pulled the door, but he was too busy watching Red and Andy approach them to take any notice of her. "What do you want, Red?" He growled.

"I just came to straighten things out between us Johnny." He grinned, cracking his knuckles, "First thing; I'm the top dog around here." He clicked his fingers and to Jonathan's horror, he heard a high pitched squeal from behind him.

Turning around, he gasped as he saw Pete holding Daphne in place from behind, "Daphne!"

"L-Let me go or I'll scream!" Daphne breathed.

Chuckling, Pete tightened his grip, "Fine by me."

"Hurt her and you won't walk for a year." Jonathan spat before Daphne had chance to scream.

"Ohh, touchy aren't we?" Red mocked, moving closer to Jonathan.

In one swift movement Jonathan had Red by the throat. "Leave her alone."

Spluttering, Red swung for Jonathan a number of times, but missed each time. Andy stepped in and punched Jonathan in the side, causing him to let go of Red. Daphne watched the three brawl as she struggled in Pete's strong arms, "Let me go you brute!" She shrieked before slamming the heel of her shoe into his foot.

"You bitch!" Pete yelled as he threw her to the ground and lifted his foot, "That hurt!"

Breathing heavily, Daphne pounced at Red, clawing at his face as she dragged him off of Jonathan. He too shouted obscenities at her but she ignored them, her mind set on not letting him get a firm enough grip on her to do too much damage. Jonathan took this opportunity to knock Andy to the ground and quickly gripped Daphne by the wrist and pulled her to the car as he unlocked the doors. Shoving her into the back seat, he slammed the door shut and hopped into the driver's seat.

Daphne pushed herself up as she heard a high pitched scraping noise piercing her ears. "What is that?" She groaned, covering her ears. She turned her head to see Red grinning at her, the noise suddenly stopping as he held up his own car key. "...Oh." She mumbled, swiftly pushing the lock on the door down.

She watched Jonathan grinding his teeth and he started the car and raced out of the car park, "Dammit, I bet he's the one who keeps scratching my car."

"It wouldn't surprise me." Daphne sighed, clambering into the front seat, "You should really tell the police."

Moaning Jonathan closed his eyes, "I'm not getting my Mum involved in this Daph, you know what she can be like."

Rolling her eyes, Daphne puled the seatbelt around her, "All Mums worry Jonathan."

"Your Mum has a reason to worry, mine doesn't." He sighed.

"Gee, thanks." Daphne muttered, flicked the hair from her face.

Tightening his grip on the wheel Jonathan looked at her, "You know what I mean Daph, I'm not a kid any more!"

"Well neither am I!" Daphne almost shouted.

"For God sake Daph I don't want to argue with you!" Jonathan retaliated.

"Well I Don't want to either but I hate it when you say things like that!" Daphne yelled, tears springing to her eyes. "Why does everyone have to treat me like a child!"

"I'm Not!" Jonathan protested, "I was just saying-"

A rock hit the back window and caused the pair to look back. Daphne turned to face Jonathan as he pressed down on the accelerator, his eyes on the rear view mirror. "J-Johnny." Daphne said gently, "Try and lose them."

Another rock hit the roof of the car as Andy hung out of the window of Red's car, which was gaining on them. "I will," He murmured, "just don't look back at them."

"Okay." Daphne said meekly as she settled restlessly in her seat. Jonathan hand rested on her knee as she held it tightly in her own, her nerves becoming ear as she began to squeeze it tighter. "Head towards the Mall," She whispered, barely moving her lips, "they can't do anything around there,it's too busy."

Nodding, Jonathan smiled reassuringly at her and turned the corner. "We'll take the long way 'round, just to be safe."

The gap between them and Red became bigger as Red realised what they were doing and slowed down a little. Daphne loosened her grip on Jonathan and sighed, "Sorry for snapping."

"It's fine." He said softly, but Daphne could see that the tension was still there.

They continued driving for a long time and eventually Red's car was gone from sight. The pair hadn't spoken again the entire drive, until Daphne suggested they stop and get some air. Now they were stood just a few minutes walk from the docks as they stood, huddled together breathing in the saltly air.

Resting her head on Jonathan's shoulder, Daphne's gaze shifted from the sea to a shack on the sand below. Blinking a few times, she squinted and spotted the familiar orange jumper, "Hey It's Velma!" She chirped, pointing to the orange blur in the distance.

Jonathan tipped his head to one side, "Oh, yeah it is." He pulled her closer to him by the waist, "You want to go down?"

Smiling sweetly, Daphne wrapped her arms around his neck, "Sure, but lets just stay here a minute longer."

Jonathan smiled, "Okay." He leaned in closer to her, their noses brushing a moment before he closed the gap.

"Jinkies!" Velma gasped as she picked up a piece of cloth, "Fred look at this!"

Fred hurried over, taking the material from Velma, "well, well," he grinned, "It's the same colour as that sea monster."

"Like, maybe the monster wanted something to like, complement it's skin tone." Shaggy suggested, Scooby nodding in agreement at his side.

"Hmmm, I don't think so guys." Velma laughed.

Fred narrowed his eyes, "We need to work out what type of fabric this is." He stated.

"Like, isn't that Daphne's area of expertise?" Shaggy noted, scratching Scooby on the head.

Velma nodded, "You're right about that." Velma murmured.

"Then like, I guess it's lucky she's, like, right there with Jonathan." Shaggy chuckled, pointing behind Fred and Velma.

Fred and Velma turned to see Daphne and Jonathan strolling towards them. "Hey!" She shouted, waving at them.

Rolling his eyes, Fred looked at Velma, "We don't need her help." He insisted, "We'll look it up later."

Velma sighed, "Hey Daph!" she shouted back, "Can you help us work out what fabric this is!"

Shaggy chuckled again, "Like Scoob, I think we know who the boss is in this team."

"Reah." Scooby laughed, earning a harsh glare from their blonde friend.
