Mommy, How did you and Daddy fall in love?

It had been yet another long day for Daphne. All she really wanted to do was snuggle up on the sofa with a steaming cup of hot chocolate and watch a nice rom-com, but her plans were soon changed when her daughter of six years, Zoe, walked into her bedroom in tears.

“Mommy.” She cried, running up to Daphne and hugging her waist “I had a really bad dream.”

“Oh honey.” Daphne said, picking her up and kissing her on the forehead “It’s ok. It was only a dream.”

Zoe soon calmed down, and Daphne took that as her queue to put her back to bed. She carried her through to her bedroom, lay her on the bed a tucked her in.

“Thanks Mommy.” Zoe said sweetly, wiping the last tear from her cheek.

“It’s ok baby.” Daphne said, kissing her on the head “You go back to sleep.”

“But I’m not tired anymore.” Protested the six year old “Can you tell me a story?”

“What story do you want to hear?” Daphne asked, taking a seat on the edge of the bed.

“The one about how you and Daddy fell in love.” She said with a giggle.

“Again!” asked Daphne in amusement, a slight smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

“Yeah!” laughed Zoe “It’s just so funny.”

“Ok.” Daphne said, getting more comfortable “It all started seven years ago…”

Seven years Earlier

18 year old Daphne Blake walked down the halls of Coolsville High. She was talking to her best friend Velma, and occasionally saying ‘hello’ to people when they greeted her. Daphne was the most popular girl in school, the complete opposite to Velma. Many people wondered why the two girls became friends, and the truth was that they had always been the best of friends since they were babies.

Anyway, the girls were approaching their lockers when Daphne came across the person who she hated more than anything. Fred Jones. Fred was, and always had been Daphne’s enemy. Ever Since the two could stand, they never got along, and to make things worse they didn’t just ignore each other and stay out of their way, but they argued constantly, played practical ‘jokes’ on each other and tried to make every school day a living hell for the other.

Daphne and Velma continued to their lockers, despite Fred lounging against them with his best friend Shaggy. The two were joking and laughing, never realising that the two ladies were standing by their sides.

“Excuse me.” Velma said quietly and politely, but they never heard her “Excuse me.” This time a bit louder.

“MOVE!” Cried Daphne.

The handsome blond boy stopped laughing and turned to face them.

“Well well well.” He said in a smug tone “If it isn’t Daphne Blake. Steal any towels lately?”

“Why no Fred, I save that just for you.”

Daphne pushed Fred out the way as she recalled on what she had done to him last week. After embarrassing her in maths class by putting a lizard down her dress, Daphne had snuck into the boys locker room after the football practise had finished, stole Fred’s shower towel and with a little help from Velma, managed to hang it on the flag pole. He was stranded in the showers until someone brought him a new towel.

As Daphne began to enter her locker combination, Fred tried to hold back a laugh. Shaggy and Velma, who were a little sick of their ‘jokes’ moved off to the side and began to talk.

“So how are you Velmster?” asked Shaggy with a smile.

“I’m ok shaggy.” She said with a smile “How about you?”

“Alright I guess. Scooby-Doo hasn’t been very well lately.”

“Oh no.” said Velma concerned “Well tell him I hope he gets better soon.”

“Will do.”

Unlike Fred and Daphne, Shaggy and Velma actually got along well, and were secretly friends. They continued their conversation when a scream from Daphne was heard throughout the halls, and a soon laughing Fred.

“Jinkies.” Grumbled Velma, turning round to see Daphne covered in purple paint.

Somehow, Fred had managed to put a device in Daphne’s locker, that when she opened it, It blew paint all over her. Fred was in hysterics as Daphne tried to wipe the paint from her face.

“Oh I’m so getting you back for this.” She said in a threatening voice. “Just you watch.”

“Oh Daph.” He chuckled, wiping a tear from his eye “Don’t worry. I’ll be waiting.”

………………………………………………………………………………………………

After managing to clean herself up a little, and putting her hair in a ponytail, Daphne sat through the rest of the day thinking of a way to get Fred back, but she couldn’t think of anything.

When school was finally over, Daphne and Velma walked down the sidewalk heading for the ice-cream parlour.

“I’m in desperate need of ice-cream today.” Said Daphne “I haven’t felt this lousy since…since my hamster died!”

“Didn’t you flush it down the toilet because it bit you?” asked Velma, remembering the fluff ball.

“Yes….but that doesn’t mean I don’t miss it.”

Velma smiled and rolled her eyes. They approached the ice-cream shop and of course, sitting in a botch by the window was Fred, Shaggy and Shaggy’s Great Dane, Scooby-Doo. Velma tried to pull Daphne away when she spotted Fred.

“Come on Daph.” She said “We can eat somewhere else.”

But it was too late. Daphne burst through the doors. Max, the owner of the Ice-cream shop saw what was about to happen. Fred and Daphne had picked fights in his shop before, causing him to lose customers. He quietly watched, hoping and praying that Daphne would order her ice cream and leave, but nope. She waltz right up to Fred, placed her hands on her hips and began to tap her foot. By this time, Velma had entered the little shop, and was watching worryingly. Shaggy and Scooby got out from the booth and stood with Velma in the corner. They didn’t want to be apart of this.

“Well hi there Daphne.” Said Fred with a smile “I see you got most of the paint out.”

“Drop Dead Fred!” she cried “Thanks to you, I have to go to the Salon again. I’ve just been!”

“You have!?” asked Fred startled “Wow. I was actually saying today that it’s about time you did something with your hair. It was looking a bit flat. Speaking of flat, I couldn’t help but notice, but are you padding your bra?”

Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby all gasped in horror.

“Oh no he didn’t” whispered Velma, really worried now.

“Oh yes he did.” Said Shaggy, also worried.

Daphne’s eyes were wide. She clinched her fists tightly together and said in a low raspy voice:

“No one…no one, say’s anything about my hair.”

Fred was a little confused as to why Daphne had taken more offence by the hair comment, but he was soon brought out of his thoughts when Daphne lunged at him, knocking him to the floor and wrapping her hands around his neck.

“Oh boy. Not again.” Said Max, coming out from behind the counter and trying to get Daphne to stop chocking the boy.

Max managed to separate them, but not for long. The began to throw things at each other, breaking bowls and smashing windows. All the customers ran out screaming, and that’s when Max snapped.

“ENOUGH!” He screamed, causing the bickering teens to stop and face him.

Both Fred and Daphne were covered in ice cream from head to toe. They were breathing heavily and it was taking Daphne everything to stop from jumping him again.

“That’s it!” Cried Max “I like you kids a lot, but this time I have to press charges. That’s the fourth time in two months that you guys have started a fight.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

A few weeks later, Daphne, Fred and their family and friends sat in court. They had been there for a couple of hours, and were just about to be told their sentence. They court raised when the Judge walked in.

“Fred Jones and Daphne Blake.” He began “You have each to pay a fine of 5000 to pay for the damages you’ve caused.”

“WHAT!?” Cried Fred Standing up “Sir, I don’t have that type of money.”

Velma sat in the back row of the court. She felt a little bad for Fred, and decided to tell the Judge her idea.

“I have an idea.” She said standing up.

“Yes?” Said the Judge

“Well, these two people can’t stand to be around each other…why not force them to be together for a month. That’s a really strong punishment. Believe me, I know both of them and if you did that you would never see them at each others throats again. They’d be to frightened in case you punished them like that again.”

“VELMA!” Cried Daphne.

“Excellent idea young lady.” Said the Judge.

Daphne and Fred looked stunned.

“I’ll find the money!” said Fred quickly “Please, anything than be stuck with Daphne for a month!”

“As of Now.” Began the Judge, ignoring Fred “Mr Fred Jones and Miss Daphne Blake have to be handcuffed together for one month…court dismissed.”

Everyone began to rise, and soon the rather large bailiff came over to Fred and Daphne with a smile.

“Oh this will be fun.” He said, snapping the handcuffs onto a wrist of both of them “Have a pleasant month.”

He laughed and walked away. Fred and Daphne just glared at each other. Fred tried to cross his arms of his chest, causing Daphne’s arm to go with him. She grumbled and pulled her arm away, causing Fred’s to go with her. The two struggled, but there was no way they were getting out of this one.
