CHAPTER TWO:

i felt Daphne's house, still so broken inside. It started to pour down rain in the haunted town of Crystal Cove. I went into the old Malt Shop in town & took a seat. I sat alone. Thinking of ways I could win Daphne's heart back, it seemed impossible. I couldn't believe Shaggy would do such I thing to me! Suddenly I heard a gasp coming from across the shop, I looked up to see a young women with an orange turtle-neck & red skirt. & glasses on her face. With out a doubt I know it was the one & only Velma Dace Dinkley. She smiled then rushed over to hug me. I smiled then looked up at her.

"Velma! Is that you!" I asked happily.

"Yes, yeah Fred, it's me!" She said.

"You haven't changed a bit!" She said. I showed a small smile on my face. Then we both sigh.

"Velma, what happened while I was gone? How did Shaggy steal Daphne away from me?" I asked. She sat on the seat across from me at the table.

"Fred, when you left, everything changed. Daphne was angry with me for a long time. Because I never told any of you about Angel Dynamitte. She thinks it made you leave & blamed me for it. Then she also became very ill, she wouldn't eat or do anything at all. She was so broken apart over you leaving. She almost died, twice. Shaggy came home soon after Daphne was put in the hospital the second time. He stayed by her side 24/7 for the two days she was in there. After that he helped her recover. She started eating again & then started wanting to go places with him. Shaggy encouraged her to apologize to me, & she did. I accepted it." Velma said. I wanted start crying.

I almost killed my love, I almost lost her, she almost died, all because of my selfish self! I was so upset with myself, then I looked up at poor Velma. I knew she'd been through so much, trying to keep it all together, even with her best friend upset at her. The real problem was me! I left Daphne, no cause Velma didn't tell me about Angel. To find my parents! I could see the pain in her face. She always loved Shaggy. I was wishing it I could do what I use to always do, say "We're all better as a team & not in a relationships & stuff!" but, I couldn't. It wasn't better that way anymore, cause there was no team. Just one big mess I created. I reached my hand out for Velma's then held it. She smiled.

"What are you doing Fred?" She asked in her good ol' Velma tone.

"Velms, you don't have hide it anymore. You've been so strong for the others. I can feel your pain in my heart. You always wanted to be with Shaggy. You were so loyal & kind to him & he ended up with Daphne. I am so sorry for ruining everything, for all of us." I said. Velma had a tear rolling down her face.

"I tried so hard.." She said. I went over to the seat beside her & hugged her.

"I know Velms. I know." I said trying to comfort my friend. She looked up & smiled at me.

"I love you Fred." She said. I laughed & hugged her tightly.

"I love you too Velms." I said.

"Do you have anywhere to stay?"' She asked.

"I was thinking a hotel." I said.

"Non-sense, you can come stay at my house for the night." She said.

"Your house?" I asked raising my eye.

"Ha, yes Fred, MY house. I work part time at NASA now. So I bought my own place." She said.

"Then I'd love to stay with you for the night." I said. We drove to her house. Velma was like the little sister I never had. We'd been through a lot together. Her & I can get along great & others not so much. I pulled up into her drive way. It was a nice little house, in a neighborhood. It was perfect for her.

"Here we are Fred, you can sleep in here. I have a guest room." She said opening a door in a hallway.

"Gee thanks a million Velma. It means a lot to me." I said, sitting down on the bed. & sighing.

"It'll be okay Fred. You'll find someone else." She said. I looked up at her.

"How did you know that's what I was thinking?" I asked confused.

"Fred Jones, you loved that girl more than anything in the world. Just by her getting kidnapped you went nuts. I am very proud of you for keeping yourself so calm about all this." She said. I laughed then blushed.

"I didn't go nuts...did I?" I asked, I could feel the redness appear on my cheeks. Velma laughed.

"Well no, it was worse than nuts.." She said.

"Gah, I gotta get her back Velma...but, how?" I said.

"I don't know Fred, Shaggy would never give her up. They're so strong together." She said. I then stood up, I was so upset.

"Velma, where the heck is Shaggy!" I asked. It had just hit me that I hadn't even asked where he was!

"Fred, calm down! You can't hurt him, he's only doing what you should have! Taking care of Daphne. IF it weren't for him she'd be dead now." Velma said. I froze & realized she was right. I'd been the biggest jerk.

"Still Velms, I wanna talk to him!" I said.

"Here call him." She said handing me the phone after dialing his #.
