World Wide Dinkley Convention - P2The usual suspect Velma and Shaggy cradled each other as best they could. Fred, Daphne and Scooby were there, saying nothing but providing comfort. Fred had given Shaggy his ascot to dry his tears; he didn’t even flinch when Shaggy blew his nose on it. Velma’s own tears were kept momentarily at bay by the anger she felt at what had been done to her family.“You tried Shaggy, that’s what matters, Maddy knows you tried.” Daphne gently rubbed his back as Velma spoke.“But…”“That’s what will keep her going, you’re looking for her. As soon as they’ve sorted out my arm we’ll all be looking for her, she knows that.” Velma glanced up to see her parents being stretchered away by paramedics, her bottom lip began to quiver. The gang hug closed in as Velma’s tears finally broke free. Finally Daphne managed to get them to the
The Day of the Daphne P2Chapter 5: BumpDaphne dashed into the local hospital colliding with a now familiar face, the doctor who had first treated Fred then her."Oh sorry Dr Jome, I just heard...""Your Mr Rogers is fine, the car was going quite slowly when it hit him so there were no serious injurie,s he just has a hairline fracture of his left fibula, that's the smaller bone in the lower leg, which is currently being put in a cast. Once that is set and we've done another set of X-rays he should be good to leave. I'm more concerned about his partner as she unfortunately witnessed the accident and is still very distressed."Daphne gave a sigh of relief, she had rec
The Day of the Daphne P1Chapter 1: RewardsThe old lighthouse was silhouetted by a flash of lightening; all around the remains of hurricane Spike began to batter the Cornish coast, the building's foot-thick granite walls and double glazing keeping its fury at bay. Inside Daphne was preparing the treat she had promised herself all day. Having placed a tray on a side-table next to the bath she went around the bathroom setting and lighting candles in various places, their soft buttery light filling the room. She then ran the bath, pouring in various bath oils and scents as it filled. When all was done she turned off the main light, removed her robe and stepped into th
Blooming Mysterious - P4Chapter 8: But still, they come"Fred I'm so sorry about what I did at the diner, but knowing what I did and how Shaggy's helped me, I think things are changing, I'm changing, Shaggy's the one I..." talking to Fred wasn't the same as talking to Velma she desperately wanted to talk to her about Shaggy. "I think Shaggy's the one I…" She was cut-off by Scooby howling. The next second they were on their feet and running out of the greenhouse, someone was in trouble.They arrived at the orchid house to find Harold and Marilyn tugging at the doors, Scooby was trying to dig his way into the building. As soon as Fred and Daphne arrive Scooby franticl
Blooming Mysterious - P2Chapter 3: Blue Helmet ShaggyBefore they could react Daphne grabbed a handful of Velma's hair and yanked her head back, pulling her to her feet as she did so. Daphne was just about to deliver a tirade of verbal abuse when a voice called out from behind her "Velma dear, oh thank goodness you're safe! I was so worried." Velma's mother came rushing past Daphne to embrace her daughter, Velma was on the verge of tears again, Fred could see in her eyes the hurt Daphne had caused."She won't be safe for long," growled Daphne quietly, the presence of Velma's mother being the only thing preventing her from dragging Velma out by the hair, beating her
Blooming Mysterious - P1Chapter 1: The Flower Power FestivalDaphne was sitting cross-legged on the floor of a greenhouse slowly breathing in the scents from the flowers and listening to the silence, her face a mask of peace and contentment. A few feet away Shaggy sat likewise carefully studying her features, Daphne had asked him to help her control her tempter, privately so had the rest of the gang."OK Daph, now imagine something that would annoy you in everyday life, not a mystery – as there you channel your anger to good effect – but a day-to-day thing," Shaggy said quietly."Not sure I want to, this is just so nice," Daphne replied her voice was so soft and gen
The Rag Trade P4Chapter 9: Doom Service"Oh both..." Velma was cut off by one of the creatures landing on her stomach knocking the wind out of her. Before she could recover her hands were secured behind her back, her ankles rapidly followed. She was picked up and thrown onto the bed, her glasses falling off her face onto the bed."What, hey get off me! Let me go!" She wriggled on the bed as they tied her knees together, her elbows were tied together till they almost touching "Ow, ow that hurts." One of the creatures pressed their hands over Velma's mouth. There was a hissing noise, Velma's eyes widened as the creature drew their hand over her mouth. This his
The Rag Trade P2Chapter 4: Lock, Stock and Two Smoking WafflesUsually in books or films when the heroine is captured by a giant creature of some kind she would be whisked away to its lair where, after being suitably incarcerated, she would passively await her fate. If lucky this would be a rescue by the dashing hero often with the option of swooning into the arms of said hero; if she wasn't then it was on to be a sacrifice or menu item. Whilst not averse to being rescued by a hero, dashing or otherwise, Velma didn't have any time for this passive/swooning nonsense so preferred to sort things out personally before she found herself in a situation where such
The Rag Trade P1Chapter 1: CSI:Coolsville"Jeepers Freddie that's the fifth clothes shop where all the clothes have just vanished overnight, this is really causing problems for everyone," said Daphne as she looked out of the van at yet another clothing shop with a 'Closed – Clothes Missing' sign in the window."Can't say I've had any problems," said Velma smugly and then proceeded to ignore Daphne's icy stare."Like me neither," said Shaggy."Nobody asked you two," said Daphne who then turned to face the front muttering something about the stylistically challenged."Anyway the Coolsville Chamber of Commerce have asked us to investigate," said Fred"Well
