Chapter 24 Johnny gets Kidnapped!
Velma was happy that Shaggy got a new girlfriend which meant he was completely over her. However deep down Velma almost felt a little bit jealous but she quickly put that thought in the back of her mind because she already has a boyfriend who she cares about very much to the point where she admitted to herself, "I think I love Johnny but I'm afraid to say it because what if he doesn't love me back?" "Velma are you ok? You look spaced out!" Johnny said while they were sitting at the Library doing homework. "I'm sorry Johnny. I was just in deep thought" replied Velma. What were you thinking about?" Johnny asked her and Velma answered, "I was thinking about my Johnny Boo." "Aw you're the sweetest Ms. Jinkies. I think about you all the time too" Johnny told her which made Velma smile. "Velma are you doing anything tonight?" Johnny blurted out. "No I'm free tonight. Did you wanted to do something?" asked Velma. "Yes because I have something special planned for us tonight and there is something very important I want to say to you so please meet me tonight at the campus park at 7pm" Johnny said as he got up and left to finish the arrangements for the special surprise he was planning. "I wonder what Johnny wants to say to me?" Velma thought to herself as she got ready for another romantic date with the guy she has been dating since the semester started. As soon as Velma was done getting ready she headed out the door and went straight to the campus park. "Oh my word what is all this?" Velma asked when she saw the beautiful Japanese Lanterns hung up on the trees in different colors and patterns which each of them were shining brightly. "Surprise Ms. Jinkies Happy Three Month Anniversary from me your Johnny Boo" Johnny said as steeped out wearing a tuxedo. "Oh Johnny this is so sweet of you. I love the lanterns. Their beautiful!" Velma said with a big smile on her.
"That's not all I have plan for us to tonight. Come with me" Johnny said as he took Velma by the hand and walked her to a table for two where their dinner waited them. "Please sit down" Johnny told Velma as he pulled out her chair. "Did you plan this yourself?" Velma asked him. "I sure did. I even made the dinner we are having tonight all by myself so I hope that you like it" Johnny said as he lifted the covers from their dinner plates revealing his creation which was a steak cut into the shape of a heart with mix vegetables and some mashed potatoes with gravy on the side. Velma took a picture of her dinner to remember how beautiful it looked before she took a bite out of her steak. "Johnny this is delicious. I thought you said you can't cook" Velma stated as she recalled Johnny mentioning that his cooking skills were poor. "I wanted to improve on my cooking skills just for you Velma so you can enjoy tonight's dinner which I didn't get any help from nobody not even Helga" Johnny said to Velma while they were eating dinner. When they were done eating Johnny turned on the radio because he wanted to dance with Velma. "Are we going to do the Monkey again like we did when you took me out to go dancing?" Velma asked before the music started. "Tempting but no. I have something more romantic for us to dance to" Johnny told Velma as the music started. Johnny wrapped his arms around Velma and began to dance with her. Velma wasn't sure what the song was but she was enjoying her dance with Johnny. "Um Velma besides our Anniversary there is something very important I wanted to tell you that I hope that you won't freak out about" Johnny said to her. "What is it that you wanted to say to me?" asked Velma. "Well it's like this. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me in a very long time and you mean so much to me. I care about you deeply. In fact Velma I love you from the bottom of my heart and I hope that you feel the same way about me" Johnny said.
Velma was shocked at what Johnny just told her because for a long time she had been wondering if she should tell him that she loves him. Now that Johnny told her first how much he loves her Velma had no problem saying, "I love you too Johnny Bravo. I wanted to tell you that for a long time as well but I was scared because I thought that you wouldn't say that you love me back but now that I know that you feel the same way about me I'm so happy." Velma and Johnny began kissing because they were so happy to finally tell each other how much they loved one another. As Johnny and Velma continued to hold each other in a loving embrace someone who was watching them from the top of one of the trees. In fact there were a couple of people who were watching the happy couple because they were waiting for the perfect time to strike. All of a sudden the lights from the Japanese Lanterns went out which startled Johnny and Velma. "What happened to the lights?" Velma asked as she went to check them out. "NO GET AWAY FROM ME!" Johnny screamed before he was knocked out by one of the people. "JOHNNY WHAT HAPPENED?!" Velma panicked as she ran over to see what was going on. "Stay away from Johnny Bravo. He'll just end up breaking your heart" one of the kidnappers said before they disappeared with Johnny as their prisoner. The lights from the lanterns turned back on but Johnny and the group of people who kidnapped him were done. All that was left was Johnny's sunglasses. "OH MY GOD JOHNNY HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED I HAVE TO TELL THE GANG RIGHT AWAY!" Velma said as she took out her phone and started calling her friends to tell them what happened. "Are you serious Velma? Johnny has been kidnapped while you two were having a romantic date at the park?" Daphne asked as soon as she, Freddy, Shaggy and Scooby Doo showed up. "Yes and I don't know where he was taken and who is responsible for this horrid crime" Velma cried as Daphne tried to comfort her friend.
"Don't worry Velma we're going to get to the bottom of this mystery, find Johnny and capture whoever committed this crime" Freddy assured Velma making her feel a little bit better because she knew she could count on her friends to be there and to solve any mystery that they may come across.
