A farm in Modesto, California. It looked to be calm and quiet, with some horses and cows minding their own businesses with grazing and/or trotting around their fields. Braedey, now about 10 years old, was sitting on the back porch, looking to the blue sky and white clouds just sitting on the blue canvas up above.

It's been up to about two years since the breakup of Mystery, Inc. and Braedey has not heard a single word about any one of his friends, which did get him concerned for what they might be up to. Braedey had ended up here on this farm thanks to the couple who lives here. A man found him in the boxcar when the train stopped outside of Modesto, and the man, who happened to be a farmer, offered him a place to stay at his own little farmland, which Braedey leaped at the opportunity. He was just so happy to have somewhere to stay. Once at the farm, Braedey was greeted by the woman on the farm, and they welcomed him in to stay as long as he can, and he offered to help out as best as he can, which they thanked him very much.

The elderly man used to tell stories to Braedey that he once served in the U.S Air Force back in WW2, and once fought in the Battle of Midway, and even survived a brush with death. After the war, he even took home the old P-51 Mustang which he occasionally flies around the farm, sometimes in remembrance of those he flew alongside with in the war. Braedey was impressed and even helped with fixing parts of the plane alongside the elderly man, much to his relief and thanks.

Overtime on the farm, Braedey has slowly gained some muscle on his form, but he was still small and not as big as other boys. Despite that, he's actually gotten better with the web-shooting tricks and skills. He even learnt a few more tricks: he could sense or hear things all around him like some kind of 'spider-sense', even able to crawl up walls and rooftops with his bare hands and feet, and have strength to lift up an old 20-tonne tractor. He took a guess that it might be due to his new spider-like abilities, and they seem to be evolving overtime.

Braedey sighed to himself. 'Just another day on this farm and nothing about the gang.' He thought to himself. 'I'd imagine Fred would do some weird book-thing or something. Velma could be working at NASA or some big science group. Daphne could be doing some martial arts. And as for Shaggy and Scooby... actually, I don't know what they'd be up to.' He shrugged innocently.
