The girls, Fred, Velma, Daphne and I were eating supper at a food court in a mall here in New York City. Scooby and I have tried our best not to pig out too much around the girls. Fred told us while driving the Mystery Machine to New York. You know how he gets. When I finished a bite of a hamburger, I decided to ask questions about the creepiest grave.
I looked at the girls. I didn't pay any attention to Velma, whose eyes looked like they were going to pop out.
"If you don't mind my asking this, who the heck is Kayla?" I asked.
I could tell Fred's eyes had the same question and he looked like he wanted to ask that.
"She's my best friend, Shaggy. She and I were very close," Mary Anne answered.
That was a quick answer. From what the gang and I had heard earlier, Kayla and Kaylee used to live here in New York before moving to Stoneybrook. Mary Anne began her story.
Flashback:
Dawn and I went downstairs. Stacey was there.
"Hi, guys, I'm here with good friends of mine while spending the weekend with my dad," said Stacey. "Girls, this is Kayla and her twin, Kaylee."
"Hello," said Kayla.
"That's Mary Anne and Dawn. They're part of the club with me I told you about," said Stacey.
"Oh, yeah," said Kaylee.
"We are staying here overnight all week," I said.
"That sounds fun," said Kayla.
"Yes, Logan and Shannon are taking over starting Monday," said Stacey.
"Thank goodness for them," I said.
"I didn't see how they could do it with their busy schedules," said Kaylee.
"They manage," said Stacey. "I help out with their family. They have six other siblings."
"Wow, just like Mallory," I said.
"Exactly, they're the oldest," said Stacey.
"And, we're moving to Stoneybrook next month," said Kayla.
"They were just telling me that," said Stacey.
"You'll see them more often," said Dawn.
"Yes," said Stacey.
"And, that's the best part," said Kaylee.
End Flashback
"So that's how we met, but there's more to the story, but the story is too long to continue for now," Mary Anne said when she finished.
"That was quite a story," Velma said.
"I know. We hit it off right away," Mary Anne answered.
"We'd love to hear more of the story sometime," Daphne said.
"You will."
"Something is bugging me about who would burn the cemetery in flames," Fred said.
"I agree," Mary Anne said.
