(Y/N) POV:


After what happened today, I stayed in my room. No matter what I did, I couldn't help but have the feeling that something must be wrong. But the strangest part is that I couldn't help but think that that bad feeling had something to do with Velma. Not sure what else to do, I went to go check on her.

The problem is that she wasn't in her room, making me worry, as that bad feeling of mine got worse. So, I tried looking around. The fog, which had been building up, is not helping, making it hard for me to see.

"Velma?" I hear a familiar voice call out.

"Shaggy?" I ask, barely seeing his figure walking through the fog.

"(N/N)?" he asks, as I make my way towards him. "Like, what are you doing here?"

"I went to check on Velma to see how she was doing, but she wasn't there. Have you seen her?" I ask.

"No," he says, before starting to freak out. "Oh, no! You don't think something happened to her, do you?"

Before I can answer, I notice another figure in the fog. "What's that?" I ask, pointing to where I see the figure.

Shaggy turns to look and smiles. "Oh, Velma, is that you?" he calls out.

The figure turns around, but it's not Velma. It's the Lake Monster!

"That is definitely NOT Velma, Shaggy! Run!" I exclaim.

As Shaggy and I make a run for it, we hear the monster roar.

It must have been able to see us through the fog.

"Help!Help, help!" Shaggy screams as we try to run away from the monster.

I gasp in realization. "Was that Shaggy?" I ask, worried.

At some point, Shaggy and I stop to catch our breath, while also looking to see if the monster caught up to us.

"(Y/N), Shaggy," Fred says, only to receive a shreeking scream from Shaggy. "What's wrong?"

"Oh. Oh, you know, nothing. I just thought I'd work on my blood-curdling scream." Shaggy says, surprisingly calm. He then goes back to screaming, catching all of us by surprise. "What the heck do you think is wrong? It's the Lake Monster!"

As if on cue, the Lake Monster appeared, making all of us jump, as we get behind Fred.

"That's it. Time to unmask this prankster once and for all," Fred says, throwing a tennis racket at the Lake Monster. Once the monster lets its guard down, clutching its head in pain, Fred tackles it to the ground. "Come on, help me with this mask!"

Not wasting a single moment, we help Fred out. While Shaggy tries to help Fred keep the Lake Monster pinned down, Daphne and I try to pull on its head, to get the mask off. But no matter how hard we pull, even with the two of us working together, the head just wouldn't budge.

Uh-oh. If it's not coming off, then could that mean...it's real?!!!

"Fred? I don't think this thing is a mask!" I exclaim.

"I think (Y/N)'s right on this one!" Daphne exclaims, her and I still trying to pull the head off.

Eventually, the Lake Monster knocked me, Fred and Daphne off of it. When it does, it barfs, badly.

I'm gonna throw up!

Apparently, I'm not the only one sick to my stomach. "Ew! Gross!" Shaggy exclaims, getting away from the Lake Monster.

We then start to make a run for it. "Keep moving!" Fred exclaims.

Before, the Lake Monster was behind us, but then somehow jumped in front of us.

"This thing keeps getting the jump on us," says Shaggy.

"It can't jump in two directions. Come on, split up," Fred says.

While Fred and Daphne go in one direction, Shaggy and I go the other way. Unfortunately, the Lake Monster chases after us, and is practically right on our tails.

"Like, why did he have to pick us?" Shaggy asks. "In gym class, I'm always the last one picked!"

"If only this were gym class, Shaggy!" I exclaim, still running next to him.

Eventually, we stopped for a moment to see if the Lake Monster is still chasing us, seeing nothing. Just as we both begin to think we're safe, we see the Lake Monster had gotten in front of us again.

"Oh, Zoinks!" Shaggy screams, getting in front of me.

Just as I begin to prepare myself for the worse, I hear some kind of motor, and a couple of all too familiar voices.

"(Y/N), Shaggy, hold on!" (F/A/N) exclaims.

"Re'll rave you!" Scooby exclaims.

I look to see them riding on motor bikes (at least that's what I think they are). Shaggy and I don't waste anytime on jumping on the bikes, while (F/A/N) and Scooby don't stop for anything, driving us to safety, and as far away as possible from the Lake Monster.

"Like, thanks, buddy," says Shaggy.

"Yeah. Thanks for the save," I say, glad that (F/A/N) appeared when they did.

"I thought that giant mutant frog was gonna make us croak," Shaggy jokes. While Scooby, (F/A/N) and I laugh a little at the joke, Shaggy is the only one who doesn't. "Oh, boy, I wish I could enjoy that one."

We then hear a roar, making us quickly look behind us, to see the Lake Monster is still chasing us.

"Scooby, (F/A/N), step on it!" I exclaim, not wanting any us to get killed by that thing.

"No need to tell us!" (F/A/N) exclaims, making his/her bike go faster.

Scooby does the same with his bike. Eventually, thanks to how fast the bikes are going, we manage to lose the Lake Monster. I let out a sigh of relief, glad that we're all safe.

"Oh, heh. Oh. You did it guys. Oh, what friends. What pals. What a--" before Shaggy could finish, he starts to freak out again. "Sand-trap!"

The moment he says that, (F/A/N) and Scooby's bikes crash into something, making all of us land into one of the sand-traps. It hurt, but at least we're alive.

I think some sand got in my mouth, because I started coughing a little. "Is everyone *cough* alright?" I ask, still coughing.

"I am," says (F/A/N).

"Like, me too," says Shaggy. He then smiles at Scooby. "Oh, boy, Scoob. (N/N) and I owe you and (F/A/N) one, buddy. If it wasn't for you, (N/N) and I would--" before Shaggy can finish, his gaze becomes focused on something else. "Hey, would you look at that?"

"What is it?" I ask.

Shaggy brushes some of the sand away, grabbing a blue stone. "It's one of those moonstones. Velma loves these things almost as much as I love deep-fried--Well, anything. Huh. Groovy."

With a smile, Shaggy stands up. He then walks away. I clench my hands into fists, upset and angry. As much as I still consider Shaggy my childhood friend, I hate that he likes the girl I have feelings for.

Why did we both have to fall for the same girl? Why couldn't Shaggy go for someone else?
