[I've been watching a lot of Scooby-Doo lately, so this should be good (or at least in character). I just read a really cool fan fic where Velma had been raised in Whammy house while L was there, so I might include that, I'm not sure. Anyways, please review.]

~Fred's living room~

It was storming out side; Velma was on her state of the art laptop, Fred was reading the news paper, Daphne was doing her hair for the millionth time, and Shaggy and Scooby were eating their way through mountains of food.

"I'm board…" Daphne sighed; putting down her hairbrush, there was nothing to do those days.

"This seems interesting." Fred pointed to an ad in the paper he was reading.

"What is it?" asked Velma as Shaggy and Scooby turned from their feast.

"Someone's requesting a detective, maybe we should sign up." Fred answered.

"Like count us out, we could live without anything scary." Shaggy exclaimed.

"Reah, rount rus out." Scooby agreed.

"Don't be such scaredy-cats." Daphne replied "That sounds interesting." She turned towards Fred.

"What does it say?" asked Velma, putting her laptop aside.

"Mystery of a lifetime, detectives wanted, high stakes and high pay. RSVP with name and title if applicable of back of ad. It was published by someone called 'V'" Fred read the ad aloud.

"That sounds interesting." Velma replied, Fred passed the ad around and they all wrote their names on the back and waited for something to happen. Like the others they didn't have to wait long, there soon was a knock on the door.

Fred stood and answered, "Yes?"

"I'm V, the one who put out the ad you replied to, asking for a detective." I explained in the door way. He showed me in, and I sat down on the remaining chair in the corner.

"Who's this?" Daphne asked Fred, referring to me.

"I'm Aviva; I was the one to put at the ad for a detective that you all kindly answered." I smiled and pulled my files on Mystery Inc. from the air around me. "You seem to have enough experience, though you've never worked on a murder mystery before." I flipped through the papers.

"M-murder?" Shaggy jumped into Scooby's arms shivering "I like knew this was a bad idea."

"Reah, reah!" Scooby animatedly agreed.

"I might as well explain the case." I replied as it thundered a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky. The electricity flickered then went out. After the mad scramble to get a flashlight had ended, and the dim electric light was half illuminating all our faces I continued "The case happens to be right up your ally. There have been situations all over the world where a legend has come to life killing people, and threatening to kill more if they don't comply with requests. From what I've heard each attacks seems to incorporate several styles, so I believe that multiple people are in charge of it." I really was getting better at explaining the case as time went by.

Velma gasped "Jinkies, it seems we've got a huge case on our hands."

"We're like going to take it, you're like nuts Velma." he (Shaggy) and Scooby were shivering in each other's arms.

"Of course we have to take it gang; this seems like a job for Mystery Inc.!" Fred exuberantly exclaimed.

"That's right Fred!" Daphne encouraged him.

"Good, just as I expected, you aren't the only detectives on the case since I want it to get solved a soon as possible. " I held out the case files "These are the locations and witness reports, be sure to look through all of them, and you can go to any of the locations at any time. I'll update you if anything new pops up, and feel free to contact me if you need any assistance. Also, I may call you if you need to mentor some less experienced detectives."

"We're on it!" Fred spoke for the others.

"Well, I won't be getting in your ways any longer, I have another person responding to the ad, see you all around." With that I left into the stormy night [yes I know, such a cliché].
