Christina looked up at Madelyn. This was not Madelyn, this, this was evil. Pure evil and it was up to Christina to protect her friends, to save them. Save them she would. Then Madelyn saw her. Christina barely had time to react before a fireball was launched her way.

Regina Mills Much? Christina couldn't help but think as she drew her wand and prepared for the battle that was going to ensue.

"Get behind me," Christina ordered the others and they were quick to listen.

"ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS LEAVE, FAIRY. ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS LEAVE," Madelyn raved as she neared Christina.

"Madelyn, this isn't you," Christina tried to reason with the girl she knew was still in there.

Madelyn didn't respond instead she fired a beam of magic that Christina was quick to counter.

"YOU'RE NO MATCH FOR ME, FAIRY. I HAVE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. I WAS PRACTICING MAGIC BEFORE YOU WERE BORN"

Christina was blasted to the other end of the room. Never had she faced off against something so powerful. Still, she tried, she wasn't going to fail. She wasn't going to let the others get hurt. It was her job to protect them and she put up a valiant effort. All those years of magic lessons came rushing to the forefront of her mind. It was time to make her teachers proud. Christina was quick to counter everything that Madelyn sent her way while still trying to reason with the girl inside but Christina was quickly losing steam she wouldn't be able to hold out much longer.

During this chaos, Drew tried to make his escape but failed as Shaggy grabbed him and proceeded to punch his lights out while making a mental note to call Duncan when they weren't about to die.

While he had been distracted Madelyn had managed to overpower Christina and was just about to finish her off. Upon seeing this, Shaggy jumped in front of Christina to protect her.

"GET OUT OF THE WAY, SHAGGY,"

"Like, no way, Maddie. Why are you doing this? What has Christina ever done to you?"

"I'm doing this Because that filthy deceitful fairy STOLE you from me, Shaggy!", 'Madelyn' snarled. "I've loved and wanted you for years! YOU KNOW THAT! I was going to make you mine this visit, but no...that stinking fairy had already stolen your heart from me! Fairies and their tricks! I did everything I could to make her just go away so I could have you all to myself, but she. Just. Wouldn't. Go! So now I'm going to destroy her like the pest she is!"

"Like, I won't let you hurt her, Madelyn!"

Madelyn zapped Shaggy out of the way sending him flying through the air back to where the gang was huddled. Luckily, Shaggy was still conscious.

"I love you, Shaggy. You'll understand when we're finally together. " Madelyn declared as she turned back to where Christina was struggling to get to her feet.

As she helped Shaggy to his feet Velma noticed that her sister was still clinging to the book and had never put it down.

"Shaggy! Get the book!" she ordered urgently.

Shaggy took a running leap and managed to pry the book from Madelyn.

"CHRISTINA, LOCK THE BOOK!" Velma yelled to Christina who was very close to passing out.

Despite the black spots and blurry vision Christina grabbed her wand with both hands and aimed at the book. She was so weak, the battle had been so draining but she still tried.

Then something unexpected happened.

As Shaggy was making a mad dash away from Madelyn and Christina was trying to find her strength a bright white light appeared in the room nearly blinding everyone. They all froze in surprise as the light took the form of a fairy.

Alissa.

The gang was in complete shock as the spirit floated to where her daughter lay struggling on the ground. Alissa laid her hands over Christina's. Together mother in daughter sent a combined blast of magic to the book.

The book flew open, the pages glowing as a whirlwind of magic started to suck 'Madelyn inside!
"NNNNOOOOOOO! I WON"T GO BACK! NNNNNOOOOOOOooooooo...!"

The book closed and locked with a snap leaving the real Madelyn groaning on the floor.

Christina stood as her mother started to fade away.

"I'm proud of you," Alissa whispered before disappearing completely.

Christina wanted to cry. Her mother was proud of her. Her mother was PROUD of her. So many times she had wondered if she was a disgrace a disappointment. Now, she knew her parents were proud of her.

Then, the adrenaline wore off and Christina hit the floor in exhaustion. Shaggy rushed to help her while everyone else crowded around Madelyn.

"Ow, my head," Madelyn groaned as she sat up tiredly.

"Maddie, do you remember anything at all?" Daphne asked gently as Fred helped the girl to her feet.

"Everything," Madelyn responded gravely.

Velma went on to explain that the witch had entombed herself in the book hoping to escape but the fae's magic had also transferred into the book trapping her inside. She needed someone to unlock the book so that she could escape but she didn't expect her hatred of fairies to merge with Madelyn's pain which caused her downfall as Shaggy and Christina's love was unbreakable.

"That's interesting but what do we do with him?" Christina asked as she pointed to where Drew was out cold on the floor.

"Don't worry, we'll take care of him," Duncan declared as he and Clawdeen arrived.

Deal with him they did.

Luckily, after some much-needed rest, Christina was able to undo the spell Madelyn had cast on Whirlen who profusely apologized for driving Christina bonkers.

Meanwhile, Madelyn gladly retook all of her exams so that she could earn the grades for real this time.

…...

After all of the excitement, Scooby found a nice shady spot on the front lawn to take a well-deserved nap. As he was drifting off to sleep he felt something lick his nose. He opened one eye to see Fluffy standing above him her tail wagging happily. Rather than overreact Scooby licked Fluffy's nose in response before making room for her under the tree while Thunder tried not to lose his lunch.

"Love you Scooby," Fluffy yawned/

"Love you more, Fluffy,"

"Gag, I'm off to find Mistress, maybe she'll give me a belly rub," Thunder declared before racing off.

…...

that evening as Christina prepared for a dinner she would actually enjoy there was a knock at her door.

"Come in," she called as she braided her hair.

The creaked open and Madelyn peaked inside.

"M-may I talk to you?"

"Yes, of course," Christina replied.

Madelyn shuffled inside timidly.

"I'm sorry, Christina. I really am. I just loved Shaggy for so long and I thought that maybe he could love me back but then he showed up with you and I lost it. I really am sorry and I understand if-"

"I forgive you,

"Wait, what?"

"I forgive you. I understand how upsetting it must have been for you and I'm sorry I showed up here without warning,"

"Can we start over then?"

"I'd love that,"

One more chapter to go and then this story is FINISHED. oh, there were days I tell you when I very nearly abandoned this all together but thanks to DRAGONDAVE45 I pulled through. Now, I'm going to consult the Scooby-Doo wiki to see who the next ex-girlfriend to be featured will be. Of Course, I'm open to suggestions. I am really leaning toward Crystal but WHAT KIND OF STORY DOES SHE FIT INTO?

And now, I have a little question for you guys.

Who can guess my all-time favorite Scooby-Doo movie? Telling you now it isn't Zombie Island, that movies gives me nightmares.

NIGHTMARES.

Review, please
