Okay, everyone, let's get going with another chapter! Anyway, enjoy!

EIGHT YEARS AGO...

"So, what would Commander Cool do?"

Shaggy merely snapped out of his thoughts for a moment as he turned to see a inquisitive "Gorgeous Gal" standing in front of him, tapping her foot. "Huh?"

"Gorgeous Gal" couldn't help but give a small sigh. "I swear, you're pretty clueless at times, aren't you Sh- Commander Cool?"

"N-no, no, I was... a little zoned out, fellow hero." Shaggy blushed as he looked around. Right now, the two of them were standing upstairs in the middle of the hallway, looking at a few separate doors that separated each hallway. "Remind me, what exactly are we doing here?"

Daphne couldn't help but giggle at the clueless young Shaggy. "Boys..." She then recovered a bit as she stood up straight. "Right, let me repeat the situation, and this time, pay attention. The last thing I want is for you to zone out on me."

"R-right." Shaggy said, looking towards the beautiful young superhero girl.

Daphne had a weird feeling that Shaggy would go into la-la land once again, no doubt thinking about food, she thought. As she explained her plan once again, she didn't notice the young boy's lovesick eyes looking directly at her. "Okay, so we're in an obvious hallway that has three doors on each side. That could mean one of two things. All of these rooms could have different bedrooms or sitting rooms, with clues strewn about, or the three doors on each side can connect to one big room that, from a viewpoint of someone from that end of the hallway..." Daphne pointed to the direct end of the hallway. "...would look like we run through each door, wondering how we enter each room, when in reality, there are two rooms, they just have three doors that connect to a large room. Sometimes, there's even a back door from within the room we enter where we go to the other room and exit out the other big room through another door."

"Right..." Shaggy said, trying to keep his focus on 'Gorgeous Gal''s words, but was having a hard time due to the clouds that was filling up his eyes.

"Either way, there's no doubt that whatever... monster we're after, will probably chase us through this hall later on, so it would be a great time to investigate where the hidden passage from both rooms goes." Daphne continued as she adjusted her hair. "But I don't know. You tell me, Commander Cool. What would you do in this situation?"

Shaggy shook his head for a minute as soon as he heard his name being called. He didn't catch most of the sentence, but he had a good idea of what "Gorgeous Gal" was going to say. "Well, like... if some strange monster was going to run around, they'd probably have a few secret passages. Like, what say we try to investigate what room is what?"

"A marvelous idea, Commander Cool." Daphne giggled. "Please, lead the way."

"Y-yes, ma'am." Shaggy said with a confident smile, trying to impress the beautiful girl superheroine in front of him. As Shaggy walked towards the door and opened it, all bravery slumped down to a bit of nervousness as he looked around the large room. Inside the room was a library, no doubt filled up the brim with books. He whistled a bit, muttering, "Velma would love this place."

Daphne would have agreed, but she didn't want to break character. As the two started to make their search, Shaggy figured now was a good time to converse alone with the beautiful girl. "So, tell me, Gorgeous, like, how long have you been in the superhero business?"

"Gorgeous Gal" looked over to "Commander Cool" in surprise as she turned towards the curious Shaggy, looking into his eyes. Giving a warm smile, she gave a giggle, "You could say this is my first experience."

"Really?" Shaggy asked. "Like, I've done it twice with Sc- er, Mellow Mutt now. You must think it's a little silly that-"

"Actually, I think it's kind of cute." "Gorgeous Gal" giggled as she turned towards the hero. "After all, I've seen you and your dog help others out, and I think it's very noble of you."

Shaggy blushed a bit before giving a smile. He knew that this wasn't the real "Gorgeous Gal", of course. Shaggy wasn't dumb. But he had never known someone like this girl as he stared at her smiling face. Something in the back of his mind kept telling him that he should know who this is, just to lift the mask up and look closer... but no. He knew better than to ask a girl's secret identity. After all, the point of a superhero was to NEVER find out someone's secret identity. The fun in being a hero was that nobody knows who they are.

Daphne, on the other hand, looked over to Shaggy as if nervous. She could feel the boy examining her every detail, and for a moment, she wondered if he had figured her out. Before she could say anything, though, the brown haired boy gave a smile as he said, "Like, thanks. I only do what's right, after all."

The red haired girl gave a small sigh of relief as she started to overturn some books in the library. "Come on, we got to find that hidden passageway."

"Right, the passageway, yeah." Shaggy gave a nod as he followed Gorgeous Gal in moving a few books around. After a couple minutes of looking in silence, Shaggy decided to talk again. "So, Gorgeous, what's your story?"

Daphne merely stopped for a minute as she turned to Shaggy. "Er, my story?"

"Like, yeah. How did you become the superhero you were?" Shaggy asked.

"Gorgeous Gal" chuckled nervously as she looked to the side, "Uh, well, what's there to say? I'm a female superhero that, like you, I'd like to see some justice being done."

"Well, yeah, I figured." Shaggy said as he raised an eyebrow. "But what about your past? Why arrive to town? What's the motivation behind "Gorgeous Gal"? You always come around whenever a conspiracy goes on."

"R-really now?" Daphne chuckled nervously as she yelped, realizing that of course Shaggy would know more comic books than she ever could. She was just introduced to Gorgeous Gal through the one issue, she didn't have time to read any more! She knew that Shaggy was testing her on Commander Cool knowledge, she could feel his inquisive eyes. She started to visibly sweat, trying to think up something to do to get out of the situation.

"Er... well... that is, well..." "Gorgeous Gal" started to stammer as she tried to think, with Shaggy watching. For the moment, her mind went blank as she shut her eyes, and in a panic, did something completely rash. "Uh... you ask way too many questions, hero."

Then, grabbing the boy and pulling him close, she put his lips on the boy's own as Shaggy's eyes widened in surprise. Both boy and girl dressed in superhero cosplay stood in this position for a moment as the two's lips stayed connected. After a moment, the young kids's lips separated as Daphne turned around, looking horrified at what she had done. She looked over to Shaggy, who was looking pretty shocked as well.

"Like, wow... I can't believe..." Shaggy started to whisper as Daphne yelped.

"I can explain, Sha-" Daphne started at the same time, but then stopped as she noticed Shaggy's lopsided grin.

"...that you'd stop me from talking, Gorgeous." Shaggy said, lowering his eyelids. "Your lips always knew when to make me stop talking."

"They... they do?" Daphne said with a nervous grin, surprised that Shaggy wasn't taking this personally.

"I may not know who you are behind that mask, but you certainly know me too well." Shaggy said as he held her hand and stared at her, love clear in his eyes. "Your lips are a wonderful tool, Gorgeous Gal. Know that well."

"Er... yeah." Daphne said as she turned around, showing some worry in her face as she started to think. "What did I do? What possessed me to kiss Shaggy? Shaggy, the boy that has the bottomless stomach in the world and loudest mouth I've ever heard! And... why did I-" She paused as she felt her lips. "Why did I like it?"

Shaggy turned as well as he was still holding that lopsided smile, thinking to himself as he searched through the library. "Whoever is playing Gorgeous Gal REALLY stepped up to the character. I always wondered what a kiss from her lips would be like... I guess I know now... she tastes like... hmmm... cinnamon." He licked his lips a bit before smiling. "I always enjoyed cinnamon."

"Oh, I can't believe I thought this was a good idea." Daphne thought to herself as she banged her head on the bookshelf. "Why didn't I just come as myse-"

Unfortunately, as she bashed her head a second time, one of the books from the high shelf fell off as Daphne yelped, the bookshelf turning itself around with the young girl as the unwitting rider as it turned around.

Shaggy, however, didn't notice as his mind was currently in bliss, still searching for the hidden passageway, but at the same time, giving a small, lovesick smile. "Like, maybe I can include "Gorgeous Gal" into more superhero stuff! I'm sure Scooby won't mind." Shaggy paused as he thought about it. "Oh, Scoob... he's going to be so surprised when I tell him what happened..."

"Say, Gorgeous, did you-" Shaggy turned around but quickly looked around to see that... he was the only one left in the room. Nervous, the boy looked around. "Gorgeous Gal? Gorgeous?"

"Jeepers!" Daphne said as she recovered from her short ride as she looked around at the area she was in. Sure enough, there was a hidden passageway with blue decorated walls that curved into a turn. It felt a little dark and scary, but Daphne knew that she was on the right track. "Right, better go back and get Shaggy..."

She quickly turned around as she tried to move the books. "Now, how do I reverse the bookcase again..."

As Daphne tried to remove as many books as she could to open the bookcase, she wasn't aware of a familiar clock monster creeping up from behind her, holding a bag in his hand. Carefully, sneakily, he crept over to the distracted rich girl as she tried to remove another book.

But before she could get her hand in the bookcase, the monster put the bag over the young girl, causing her to scream as she got trapped.

This was the day that young Daphne Blake was captured for the first time.

And that is the end of the tenth chapter! How did you guys like it? Next time, it's back to the future! For now, though, I'm going to pause the story until next week comes, because that's when "SCOOB!" will hit digital platforms, and I want to wait until I see it first! Personally, I'm pretty hyped to see it! Anyway, read, review, criticize and suggest, folks!
