in homeroom rumors and

paper airplanes were flying as the gang caught up with each other.

daphne had gone to london for a month that summer, fred went to the

same sports camp he went to every summer, velma went to science camp

and on a ski trip to colorado while shaggy and scooby went on family

vacation to six flags. they had only spent a little time together

and really wanted to make up for it this year.

"ok class settle

down!" mrs. mayer, the meanest teacher in the whole school yelled

to the teenagers.

"like all the

teachers and we have to get stuck with her!" shaggy whispered to

velma as he stuck his tongue out at her back. velma giggled only to

room.

daph wait!!" fred called jogging down the hallway. "is um

everything ok?"

"yeah everything's

fine." she said flatly not looking at him.

"daph, come on, i've

know you since you were twelve, i can tell." fred said in a soft

gentle tone normally reserved for daphne. he took her hand and

pulled her into a corner. then he took her nicely manicured hands in

his own, looked her in the eyes and whispered, "daph you can tell

me anything, you know that right?"

"y y yes freddie."

she stuttered. then she looked into his eyes, the most beautiful blue

being herself, you know acting all high and mighty and being a
