All righty, seeing as how so far, this is coming in the third position in the poll, I decided I'm going to write another Scooby-Doo fanfiction, after my first one from so mnay years ago! I guess it's partly because 'Scoob!' is coming out this year, but I'm excited to delve deep into the familiar world of Mystery Inc.! And last time, I wrote a Fred x Daphne fic in the world of 'A Pup Named Scooby-Doo', but back then, I said I was just okay with the pairing. Not a big fan, but okay with it...
So I figured, why not mix it up a little? Some people have written Shaggy x Daphne fics a bit, Shapne they call it. It's an interesting idea, so I figured... you know what, why not? Let's see how this all goes down! Anyway, enjoy!
"It was another day in the Scooby-Doo Detective Agency! For me and my pup named Scooby-Doo, it was a good day for sure, because Fred and Velma had managed to get sick with the chicken pox. Fortunately, I had my bout of chicken pox already about a couple years earlier, so I didn't need to worry about that. As for Scooby… well, he never gets chicken pox. Now, it's not like we didn't approve of Fred and Velma getting chicken pox at the worst moment, in fact, we were sorry they were sick. But, because of their illness, the Scooby-Doo Detective Agency had to be put on hold temporarily... giving us plenty of time to either hang out at the clubhouse or clean up... or even..."
Inside the Scooby-Doo Detective Agency clubhouse, a young Shaggy Rogers dressed up as a superhero had jumped out of his changing closet as he held up his hand with a smirk. "Like, Commander Cool is ready for action!"
Shaggy gave a small smirk as he looked down at the duds he wore. It was a white and blue uniform with loose fitting pants, yellow C on the front of his shirt, a blue cape, blue goggles and blue boots. A few minutes later, a familiar brown Great Dane puppy hopped out, wearing a similar outfit, only with a covered mask instead of goggles, four blue boots, and a white apron-like suit that had the MM logos on it.
"Rand ris riderick, Rellow Runt!" Scooby announced before giving out a slight giggle.
Shaggy couldn't help but give a small smile before looking towards his fellow friend. "Well, Mellow Mutt, it seems our fellow friends are sick today..."
"Roh no!" Scooby gasped.
"No worries, they'll be taken care of just fine." Shaggy assured his friend as he looked out the window. "But we've got more things to focus on! Like, who knows what evil lurks in these treacherous towns?"
"Oh, give me a break!"
Shaggy and Scooby's train of thought was interrupted as they turned to see that sitting on the table was a red haired little girl wearing a pink shirt, pink pants, red skirt and red scarf, with a white plastic head band and white boots was sitting down, looking at her nails as she was trying to paint them.
"Guys, just because Fred and Velma are offline, doesn't mean I'm not." Daphne rolled her eyes. "I'm still here, you know."
Shaggy and Scooby looked at each other as Shaggy said, "I know, but how often do we get the chance to wear the costumes?"
Daphne shook her head before looking over the lanky comic geek and his puppy. "I swear, you two and your imagination..."
Scooby couldn't help but lift his head up, as if saying "Harumph!"
Shaggy paused as he thought about it for a moment, before giving a smirk. Scooby noticed the smirk on Shaggy's face, wondering what he was up to. Shaggy then went over to Daphne as he said, "Like, you know, someday, these costumes will make quite the fashion statement."
Daphne looked up to Shaggy in surprise... before giving out a laugh. "Please. Like seeing somebody in a Commander Cool outfit would be the fashion sense of the world? Unlikely!"
"No, no, I'm serious. Admittingly, it may look geeky at first, but what if there was a movie franchise that hits it big with everyone? Pretty soon, everybody who's somebody will be more than eager to want a lot of Commander Cool merchandise... not just kids like us, but adults, teenagers..."
Daphne looked up to Shaggy annoyed. "And you think by trying to convince me that wearing a different outfit that's NOT fashionable is cool, that I'd end up like you. Dream on, Shaggy!"
Shaggy crossed his arms in annoyance, before smirking. "Well okay, Daphne, but you're missing out on something grand! Come on, Scoob!"
"Reah!" Scooby said as Shaggy and Scooby were about to head out the door, Daphne rolling her eyes as she watched the two head out the door.
"Me, wearing some sort of ridiculous outfit? As if!" Daphne frowned as she started to file her nails. "You'll never catch me wearing some silly, ridiculous outfit..."
EIGHT YEARS LATER...
Mystery Inc. had temporarily disbanded. Not for lack of interest or creative differences, but Fred and Velma had recently gotten internships over at their respective areas of work that required them to move to different locations for a little while. But Daphne, Shaggy and Scooby were ensured that once the two were done with their internships, they would be back on the road again, solving mysteries.
For Shaggy and Scooby, they took this as a chance to relax and enjoy their summer vacation. No mysteries, no goofball jobs, no people in masks or haunted railroads or amusement parks... just a nice, normal day in Coolsville. And at the current moment, both human teenager and dog were looking over costumes, both excited for something big that was coming up.
"Like, can you believe that the Commander Cool movie is finally getting released to the public?" Shaggy grinned as he turned towards his Great Dane pal.
"Ri ran't rereive ris is real!" Scooby said, looking very enthusiastic.
Shaggy couldn't help but smile as he started to pull out a life-size Commander Cool outfit that he had bought just for the occasion. Even though he had grown up to almost to a point where he would be out of high school, Shaggy still had a bit of a soft spot for the Commander Cool brand. Scooby did too, in a way. In fact, they still bought the comics, as thrilling as they were. Even though they no longer wore the suits and acted out adventures like they once did when they were kids, they still remembered the impact that the hero and his sidekick dog had brought upon them.
Scooby smiled as he found the new Mellow Mutt costume that was mail-ordered a couple months ago, fit for the movie. Scooby smiled as he threw the costume up in the air and stood up, holding out his arms. As if by magic, the costume landed right on his body, fitting him just right. Even the four boots had landed in front of him as Scooby fell down and landed his front feet directly on the first two boots. As the Great Dane carefully slipped his back feet into the boots, the dog couldn't help but give a slight chuckle as he looked into the mirror.
All the while, Shaggy had changed out of his normal uniform and was now wearing the Commander Cool outfit as he turned around, examining himself as Shaggy whistled. "Like, this isn't half bad! What do you think, Scoob?"
Scooby looked over and examined Shaggy's outfit at every angle, eliciting a simple 'Hmmm' every few seconds. And then... after a moment, Scooby smiled as he gave a thumbs-up. "Rokay!"
Shaggy smiled. "All right, Commander Cool outfits, check! All we need is to wait for our ride!"
As soon as Shaggy said that, the sound of a horn honking was heard as the man's eyes lit up. "Oh, that's probably Daphne now! Come on, Scoob!"
"Roming, Raggy!" Scooby grinned as the two big fanboys were rushing out the door with big grins on their faces. A familiar red van was seen parked outside the house as they approached. Then, the driver's door opened as Shaggy and Scooby stopped, Shaggy looking surprised at what Daphne was wearing.
"Hey boys..." Daphne grinned as she was showing off a blue and red leotard uniform with green 'G' in the middle, with purple go-go boots and a red mask. She gave a giggle as she showed off a little leg. "I don't know about you, but I'm certainly excited for the movie!"
"Daph… like, wow..." Shaggy said breathlessly as Scooby gave a loud whistle. "You, like, really went all out..."
Daphne laughed a little. "What can I say? When I heard this movie was coming out, I knew that I had to special order this uniform! How could I not?"
The orange haired girl couldn't help but smile when she noticed the reactions that Shaggy and Scooby were giving upon seeing the uniform she had on. Daphne sighed, wondering just how those two managed to get her into comics... though she remembered how...
It all began a long time ago, back when Fred and Velma were temporarily sick with the chicken pox... and the three remaining kids had to solve a mystery for the first time without the aid of either of their friends...
And that's the first chapter done! How did you guys like it? And yeah, even though the prologue shows that both stories take place in both the 'Pup Named Scooby-Doo' continuation and the main 'Scooby-Doo' continuation, I'm going to alternate between each chapter, symbolizing something big and important each chapter! You'll see what'll happen as the story goes on! Anyway, read, review, criticize and suggest, folks!
