Chapter 30 Crystal has a secret
As time went on for Shaggy he was starting to wonder about his girlfriend. Even though they've been dating for a while and they were very happy together Shaggy often wondered about Crystal ever since their first day in their art class that they were taking together when Professor Lester showed the class his painting of the flying saucer when she got really nervous. She informed Shaggy that she was fine and there was nothing wrong. However Shaggy was able to somewhat tell that something was up and he wanted to find out. One day while Crystal was taking care of some personal business Shaggy went to talk to his friends. "Ever since Professor Lester showed us his paintings including the one with the flying saucer she has been on edge. It's like she's afraid of aliens or something. I want to help her but she won't talk to me. I just don't know what to do" Shaggy told his friends. "Give Crystal some time and she'll tell you what's on her mind if or when she's ready" said Freddy. "Freddy is correct. You don't want to push Crystal. Sometimes people have secrets that they're embarrassed or nervous about that they don't want anyone to know especially the people they care about the most" Velma stated. "I agree with both Velma and Freddy. Give her time" said Daphne. "Like you guys are right thanks for the advice" Shaggy said as he left to meet up with his girlfriend. "Hey Shaggy are you ready for our date?" Crystal excitedly said as she greeted him. "I'm always excited when it comes to seeing you" answered Shaggy. "Groovy and its looks like Scooby Doo and Amber are happy to see each other as well" Crystal stated as she noticed the two dogs wagging their tails and smiling.
Crystal and Shaggy decided to take a walk through the campus park. It was the middle of winter and snowed was covered everywhere. "It's like a beautiful white blanket has covered the Earth" said Crystal. As they continued their walk unknowing to the happy couple there was a man in a suit following them but he stood as far away as possible because he didn't want to get spotted. As Shaggy and Scooby Doo continued their dates with their girlfriends Crystal noticed a stand that was renting sleds to people to go sledding. "Oh Shaggy that looks like fun let's go!" Crystal said as she pulled Shaggy by the hand and headed towards the stand to rent a sled. The person recommended a long sled since they had their dogs with them in which Shaggy thought was a good idea. The four of them walked to the top of the tallest hill at the Park and they all sat down. "Are you ready everyone?" Shaggy asked. "I am and so is Amber" replied Scooby Doo. "Bring it on!" shouted Crystal as the four of them sat down and started sliding down. "WEEEEEEEE!" squealed Crystal. "This is so much fun! I've never been sledding before." "Really not even in your home town?" asked Shaggy. "No because let's just say where I'm from there isn't any snow" answered Crystal. Shaggy recalled when he asked Crystal where she's from she was just told him, "very far away." He wanted to know more about his girlfriend such as her hometown, family friends etc but she never spoke of any of that stuff. As they continued their fun day the man who had been following them was taking pictures.
As Shaggy, Crystal and their dogs were about to slide down the hill on their shed one more time before heading back Scooby noticed a man behind a tree taking pictures because the flash was really bright. "What are you looking at Scooby Doo?" Shaggy asked his best friend. Scooby pointed to the man with the camera which was the same man that had been following them. Crystal saw him as well and became really nervous. "Ok I think it's time we return the sled to the stand and go back to campus" Crystal said as she hurried everyone. "Crystal what's wrong? Do you know that guy?" asked Shaggy. "Listen I really can't explain it and I rather not so you have to trust me on this so let's go" answered Crystal. The sled was returned to the stand where it was rented from and Crystal hurried everyone to head back. As they were moving the man who was following them along with another guy and a girl came out of nowhere and started going after them. "What is the matter and why are you all out of breath?" Velma asked when she saw Shaggy, Scooby, Amber and Crystal tired from running in the student lounge. "There are these dudes wearing suits that are following us and I think Crystal may know why but won't tell me" answered Shaggy. The gang along with Velma's boyfriend Johnny, Carl and his bride to be Helga wanted to know what Shaggy meant by what he just say. Before questions could be asked the three people who had been following Shaggy, Crystal, Scooby and Amber came out of nowhere and one of them said, "Hello I'm Agent Steve and these are my collies Agent Max and Agent Laura." "Who cares who you are why in the world have you been chasing us?" Shaggy demanded.
"The reason why we were chasing you because we're after the girl and the golden retriever that you're with. They are both wanted for questioning" answered Agent Steve. Everyone turned around to look at Crystal and Amber who were both frozen with fear. Shaggy walked up to Crystal and asked her, "Is this true? If so why are they after you?" With a heavy heart and tears in her eyes Crystal told her boyfriend and his friends, "It's because Amber and I are not from here. We're aliens."
