Chapter 42 Shaggy recreates Prom Night
Freddy, Daphne and Scooby Doo were really happy for their friends Shaggy and Velma. The three of them believed that they would make each other very happy. "I know this may sound weird but if it wasn't for you our meddling friends Shaggy and I wouldn't have gotten back together" Velma said as she smiled at her friends. "Yeah so we both thank you for trapping us" said Shaggy as he held Velma's hand. "You're very welcome and we all wish for your happiness" said Freddy. "Hey guys since you two are back together you should totally plan your first date as a reunited couple" Daphne pointed out. Shaggy and Velma thought about what Daphne said and knew that she was right. "Like where would you like to go?" Shaggy asked. "I'm not really sure. I think I'll just let you surprise me" Velma answered. A few days later after Velma told Shaggy to surprise her he finally thought of somewhere to take Velma on a date that would make her happy and would also be a pleasant surprise. "I wonder what I should wear on my date with Velma?" Shaggy asked Scooby and Freddy. "Something nice… I don't know" Freddy answered. Scooby just nodded his head because he didn't what to say. Shaggy continued to raid his closet because he wanted to wear something nice. While Shaggy was trying to find something nice to wear Velma was having just as a hard time looking for something to wear for her date with Shaggy. "OMG is orange turtle neck sweaters with orange skirts the only thing I have?" exclaimed Velma realizing she always wear that same outfit. "Calm down Velma" said Daphne. "You'll find something and no matter what you're wearing Shaggy is going to love it because he loves you for who you are just like you love him for who he is. Velma knew Daphne made a good point and thanked her for calming her down as the both of them went back to look for something for Velma to wear.
Eventually Velma and Shaggy came across two familiar outfits that they haven't worn in a long time that would be nice for their date. Shaggy texted Velma to meet him at the campus park because Shaggy came up with the perfect surprise. "I hope I'm not overdressed" Velma thought to herself as she went to meet up with Shaggy. For their date Velma thought it would be nice to wear her prom dress. When she got to where Shaggy wanted them to meet she was pleasantly surprised that Shaggy was wearing the tuxedo from when they went to the prom. "I guess great minds think alike since we're both dressed up real fancy which by the way Shaggy you look very handsome" Velma said. "Like thanks Velma and you look beautiful tonight as well. I'm glad you're wearing that dress because I recall you saying to surprise you. Do you recall that?" asked Shaggy. "Yes I do and what may I ask is the surprise you have in store for us?" Velma asked with curiosity. "Come with me and I'll show you" Shaggy said as he took Velma by the hand and led her to a spot in the park with white lights, a table set for two with dinner waiting for them. "Velma as you recall we really didn't get to enjoy prom night because of Alice May when she was pretending to be the creepy ghost girl who kidnapped guys as she attended the prom with them. Well I checked my calendar and today would have been the anniversary of the night we were supposed to go to the prom together. Since we shouldn't go to the prom back them I would like to take you to our own private prom just the two of us. I even downloaded songs into my IPod from your favorite band the hex girls for us to dance to how does that sound to you?" Shaggy asked as he smiled at Velma.
"Shaggy Rogers this is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me. This is going to be wonderful!" Velma exclaimed as she hugged Shaggy. "Please let me put up your chair so you can sit down first" Shaggy said as he led Velma to her chair before sitting down himself. Then Shaggy said, "For dinner tonight I've prepare something special that I learned how to make from one of my cooking classes I've been taking. I hope you like it." Shaggy took off the metal covering revealing a dish of chicken stir fry for two. "I can't believe you made this. It looks wonderful" Velma exclaimed as she tasted Shaggy's creation. "I hope you like it" replied Shaggy as he saw Velma take a bite. "Jinkies this is delicious!" Velma said with a smile on her face. Shaggy was happy that Velma liked his cooking and they both enjoyed dinner. After dinner Shaggy got up and asked Velma, "Care to dance?" "Why I would be delighted" Velma answered as Shaggy took her by the hand and led her on to the dance floor. Shaggy connected his IPod to a speaker that would make the music loud enough for the both of them to hear and dance to. The first song that came on was I'm a Hex Girl which Shaggy and Velma began dancing to,
"I'm gonna cast a spell on you
Your gonna do what I want you to
Mix it up here in my little bowl
Say a few words and you'll lose control
I'm a hex girl
And I'm gonna put a spell on you
(I'm gonna put a spell on you)
I'm a hex girl
And I'm gonna put a spell on you
(put a spell on you)
You'll feel the fog as I cloud your mind
You'll get dizzy when I make this sign
You'll wake up in the dead of night
Missing me when I'm out of sight
I'm a hex girl
And I'm gonna put a spell on you
(I'm gonna put a spell on you)
I'm a hex girl
And I'm gonna put a spell on you
(oh yeah)
With this little cobweb potion
You'll fall into dark devotion
If you ever lose affection
I can change your whole direction
I'm a hex girl
And I'm gonna put spell on you
(I'm gonna put a spell on you)
I'm a hex girl
And I'm gonna put a spell on you
We're gonna put a spell on you."
"Oh Shaggy that was awesome!" Velma shouted. "I think I've become a bigger fan of the Hex Girls than ever before." "Like I'm glad you like it. Any other Hex Girls song request?" Shaggy asked. "Maybe later. Do you have any slow romance songs to dance to on your IPod?" requested. "I believe so let me check" Shaggy said as he went up to this IPod and looked through his song list. "Like I found one that I think we'll both enjoy" replied Shaggy as the song began which Velma recognized and said, "That's the song Ma Belle Evangeline from Disney's The Princess and The Frog." "I'm glad you recognize it because I wish to sing it to you" Shaggy said when all of a sudden he pulled out a microphone and began singing Ma Belle Evangeline,
"Look how she lights up the sky,
Ma Belle Evangeline.
So far above me yet I,
Know her heart belongs to only me.
Je t'adore, Je t'aime Evangeline,
You're my queen of the night,
So still,
So bright.
That someone as beautiful as she,
Could love someone like me.
Love always finds a way it's true!
And I love you, Evangeline.
Love is beautiful,
Love is wonderful!
Love is everything, do you agree?
Mais oui!
Look how she lights up the sky,
I love you, Evangeline."
When Shaggy finished singing Velma was crying and said, "You're the best guy ever and I'm so lucky to have you back in my life." Shaggy took out a handkerchief and wiped Velma's tears away. "Like there there Velma it's ok" Shaggy told her who then asked "Um Velma may I ask you a personal question?" "Sure what do you want to ask me?" said Velma. "Do you ever miss your ex-boyfriend Johnny Bravo?" Velma was surprised that Shaggy asked her that but she answered, "I used to because deep down I thought Johnny was the one for me. But as time went on I kind of realized that he was a few cards short of a deck but I didn't care because he was wonderful and a good person to me. Over time I learned that sometimes the path of love can lead you in the direction that you never thought would be taken but can lead you somewhere or to someone you least excepted. I followed a path that led me right to you despite our ups and downs. Do you ever miss Crystal?" "I used to a lot but not as much as I missed us. Crystal chose to leave Earth which meant it was time for me to move on and the path of love led me to you Velma" Shaggy answered. The happy reunited couple hugged each other once again. While they were hugging Shaggy and Velma looked into each other's eyes. Shaggy placed his hand on Velma's face and their faces came closer together Shaggy and Velma began kissing romantically and this time Velma didn't break off the kiss to yell at Shaggy. Unknowing to Shaggy and Velma as they were kissing Freddy, Daphne and Scooby Doo were watching from a far and all of them were going, "AWWWWWWWWWWW!" The three of them left the happy couple alone. Before their romantic night came to a close Velma said to Shaggy, "I'll never forget this night ever Shaggy. I love how you created your own version of the prom we didn't get to enjoy while we in High School. "I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. May I have the last dance?" Shaggy asked. "Of course" answered Velma as Shaggy took her by the hand and danced to some romantic song neither one of them was familiar with but it was beautiful just the same.
Author's Note: Hi everyone out there who is a fan of my fan fiction Rekindle Love. For this chapter of my fan fiction I got an idea of a romantic first date for Shaggy and Velma as a reunited couple. As any of you who watched the Scooby Doo series that started in 2010 and ended 2013 Shaggy and Velma were supposed to attend the prom together but at last mystery solving and the villain Alice May who pretended to be the daughter of Deacon Carlswell who was the creeper to revenge her father even though he never had a daughter spoiled everything. I added a song from Velma's favorite band The Hex Girls and a popular and very romantic Disney Song from the movie The Princess and The Frog. I don't own anything Scooby Doo and Disney related. All credit for these cartoons goes to the people who made them. Stay tune for my next update.
