Hey folks, time we go back to the future, and see what's going on with Scooby-Doo, and our lovely couple of Shaggy and Daphne! Anyway, enjoy!

EIGHT YEARS LATER...

Scooby often wonders why he even gets caught in these situations. For context, he followed Shaggy down the chute inside the popcorn machine and both of them took different paths in the chute. After a round of screaming, he landed on a pile of green sheets that were situated underneath the opening of the shoot. Scooby had quickly recovered as he jumped out of the sheets and noted that somehow, during the process, some sort of green paint had got on his fur. Scooby examined the bucket of clothes some more, examining the sheets. Was this a clue? If it was, he knew he would have to mention it to Daphne and Shaggy when he met up with them...

But first, he needed to get rid of the paint. He took a look around at the area he was in and noted that he was in some sort of laundry room of some type, with washing machines and dryers lined up the wazoo. After a moment of walking through, he noticed a small mirror and a large sink situated down near the entrance to the door. Giving a grin, the Great Dane ran over and stood up on his hind legs. It's a wonder how over the years, this canine can still do amazing wonders with his legs like standing on them like a human. Then again, Scooby always felt like he was more human than dog.

Upon going up to the mirror, the Great Dane used his paws to turn on the hot water before grabbing a nearby cloth and getting it wet. Scooby then started to hum a little tune to himself as he tried to used the cloth to dab the paint out of his fur, only for the paint to smear a bit on his body. Scooby frowned as he examined that spot in a mirror as he bent his head over and tried to dab the paint some more. But as he turned his head for a moment, the mirror opened up to reveal a familiar ghost staring out into the wall... the Ghost of Kilijoumango's face was looking out, as if hearing a sound.

Scooby then looked back to see the face of the ghost, only for the fact to not register in his mind as he examined the mirror, as if still looking at himself. Oddly enough, the ghost moved alongside Scooby, as if mimicking the reflections. It took Scooby a couple minutes to realize what was going on, but when he examined the dark, soulless eyes of the ghost, his mind caught up with him as calmness turned to fear on his face. "RAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! RHE RHOST OF RILIROURANGO!"

Turning around and taking a standing running stance, the ghost let out a loud, angry noise as he tried to swipe the Great Dane, only for the dog to burst out of the room. The ghost started to climb out of the mirror as he chased after the Great Dane, who had ran out the door.

And this was where Scooby was currently right now, running through the downstairs hallway of an empty movie theater as the ghost followed the dog in every corner as Scooby looked around, looking for a decent place to either lose the ghost or hide. Eventually, his eyes found a small dresser in one room as the gears in the dog's mind began to wind. Immediately, he ran for that room and ducked into an open dresser, as he peeked his head.

"Where are you, mutt!" The Ghost called out in an angry, scary tone.

"Roo-hoo!" Scooby called out as the ghost turned to see the dog waving before ducking into the dresser. The ghost then floated over as he opened the top drawer to grab the Great Dane, only to discover he wasn't there. The ghost then noticed that the drawer below opened up as Scooby gave a wave, before it closed itself. The ghost frowned as he tried to be quick and opened the bottom drawer, only to find it empty. The ghost looked over to see the top drawer open as Scooby popped out, making a face before the Great Dane popped back in. Getting frustrated, the ghost opened up the top drawer, only to find it empty.

Growling to himself, the Ghost of Kilijoumango opened up all the drawers in quick succession, knowing that the Great Dane would likely try his luck... but much to the ghost's surprise and confusion, all the drawers were empty. As the Ghost scratched his head, pondering the trick, he didn't notice a large pot that was turned upside down sneaking out of the room.

Unfortunately, the bump on the door caused by said vase grabbed the ghost's attention as he turned to see pieces of the broken large vase and a sheepishly grinning Scooby, before the Great Dane turned around and ran with all his might, with the ghost resuming his chase.

All the while, as soon as Shaggy got off of Daphne and helped her up, the two of them were looking at this strange shrine to Mystery Incorporated as Shaggy shook. "Like, zoinks! Whoever this ghost is apparently is a huge fan of us."

"I kind of gathered that when I released myself." Daphne said as she looked around at the pictures. "But look at this, Shaggy! All of these pictures... they seemed to have been taken during a lot of our cases..."

"And some where we weren't even on cases, but it sure felt like we were." Shaggy noted as he noted a picture of a smiling Shaggy, Scooby and Scrappy alongside a slew of young schoolgirls who looked to be monsters of varying kinds. "How was this picture of Grimwood's Finishing Ghoul School even taken? I don't remember even seeing someone there."

"Take a look at this, Shaggy!" Daphne gasped as she pointed to another picture that was tacked on the wall. Shaggy ran over to look over to where Daphne was pointing. The picture in front of them consisted of both Shaggy and Daphne sitting down together inside a castle, with Scooby clinging on to Shaggy with dear life and Scooby's nephew, Scrappy, looking around in excitement, as if looking for ghosts. "Isn't this when we were on that trip to Europe?"

"In Denmark, yeah." Shaggy laughed a bit... before pausing. "But how did this picture get taken? Like, I don't remember seeing a ghost photographer floating around, did you?"

Daphne shook her head as the two continued to look around at all the pictures. "At first, I thought it was all of us, but the more I look into it, the more I notice something... these aren't just pictures of all the gang... just you and me."

"How can you tell?" Shaggy asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Look at this!" Daphne gasped as she noticed a picture of herself posing in front of a mirror, dressed up in a maid costume. "You and the others may not have been anywhere in that picture, but I was the only one there."

Shaggy found himself blushing upon looking at the costume. "Like, uh, what was the context of this picture?"

"I was trying to find a good Halloween costume, but that's not the point." Daphne frowned as she pointed to other pictures of her in different outfits. "Apparently, whoever's been stalking me is a bit of a pervert!"

"And he's not limited to you!" Shaggy gulped as he pointed over to pictures of himself eating, watching TV, or eating while watching TV. "It would appear that I've been stalked too!"

Daphne suddenly felt a little scared as she hung onto the green shirt wearing man, surprising him. "Suddenly, I'm feeling a bit vulnerable."

Shaggy held her close for comfort, even though he was just as scared, the two kept going as they continually walked on... until they noticed one particular picture. Something that really caught the two off-guard.

"Oh my..." Shaggy said as he examined the photo.

"You don't think..." Daphne paused as she put a finger on that photo, pointing to it.

In that picture was a young Shaggy and young Daphne, dressed in their respective superhero outfits with Daphne putting her arm around Shaggy as she did a peace sign pose, with Shaggy smiling a bit at the young Daphne, with a pup named Scooby-Doo holding a tied up familiar clock monster...

"Isn't that..." Shaggy asked in fear as she and Daphne turned to each other, both of them remembering their old case back when they were young.

And that's it for this chapter! How did you guys like it? Next time, back to the past with young Shaggy and young Scooby taking care of their monster problem... and hopefully running into Daphne on the way! What'll happen next? Anyway, read, review, criticize and suggest, everyone!
