Chapter 8

From Strange to Weird.

Hi all, okay so far I have been doing this story kinda in Shaggy's point of View, and a very little bit in Velma's, but now that the whole gang is back together, It is going to be written like my 'Back In Time' story.

"Thanks", said Velma, feeling a little warmer with the jacket on. "What happen", asked Daphne. "Shaggy said I was tied up at the bottom of a pool", replied Velma, her teeth still chattering. "What", exclaimed Fred.

Shaggy then went and explained just what had happen to Velma.

"Do you feel up to walking now", asked Fred. "Yes, I think so", said Velma, who was one, that did not like to admit that she couldn't do something. Daphne then helped her up, and she did manage to be able to stand, but she was still very wobbly on her legs.

Shaggy saw this and quickly came over to her. “Here Velms, lean on me". At first Velma was a little reluctant, but in the end she had to give in, she still wasn't strong enough to stand, and walk on her own.

"So which way do we go, to get back to the main room, Shagg", asked Fred. We just keep going down this hall, then we will come to a door, we just go through it, and then walk through that room till we get to another door, when we go through the door, we will be in the main room, and like from the main room we can get out of this house", replied Shaggy, putting his hand around Velma, to help her.

Velma felt this, and her mind was racing, "What is with Shaggy, he is acting so weird around me today”, she thought to herself. "It's like....It's like....", she just couldn't bring her self to even think the thought that Shaggy liked her. "It's impossible, we have been friends for so long, he has never shown any sign before that he has liked me, the only logical explanation is... the fact that I nearly died today, and he is still concerned", she thought, thinking logically. "Its the only possible reason", she thought to herself. She was so busy tuning these things over in her mind that she wasn’t even listening to the gang, and had no Idea they were talking to her. It was then that she heard someone say, "Velma, are you alright".

"Huh, oh, yeah, I am just very tired and weak", she said. She then looked around the room she was in. "Is this the main room", she asked. "Yes", replied Fred. "And over there should be the doors that lead outside", Shaggy told them.

They all walked over to the double doors, and open them, sure enough, they led outside, but the strange thing was, that the Mystery Machine was parked right in the drive way.

"Like, that’s weird, the Mystery Machine wasn't there earlier", Shaggy told them. "Well at least it is here now", replied Fred, taking the keys out of his pocket and going over and unlocking it.

I wonder where Scooby is", said Daphne hopping into the passengers seat. "I don't know", said Fred, as he got into the drivers seat.

Shaggy then open the back doors to the mystery machine, so he and Velma could get in, but to their surprise, Scooby was there laying on his back fast asleep. "Scoob", Shaggy said in surprise.

"Jeepers", Daphne cried.

"Ripe", yelled Scooby, who had been woken up by Daphne.

"What", Fred asked Daphne. "L-l-look at the mansion we were just in", said Daphne pointing at it. "What the", Fred muttered, when he had a look at where Daphne was pointing.

"Like Zoinks, Lets get out of this creepy place, I don't mind invisible ghost, but a whole Mansion that disappears", said Shaggy, who also had a look at where Daphne had pointed. Shaggy then got into the back of the Mystery Machine and helped Velma up.

"How can a whole Mansion just disappear like that", wondered Fred aloud. "There has to be a perfectly good explanation, huh...", Said Velma. "What", asked Shaggy. "I am all dry", said Velma.

"Rats roing ron", asked a Very confused Scooby. "I have no idea", replied and evenly confused Fred. "Come on Freddy, lets get out of here", said Daphne.

"Right", said Fred. And he started the mystery machine up, and headed home.

It was the next morning, and Velma was up early on the laptop, looking up the Mansion on the internet. "What are you doing", asked a voice behind her.

Just looking up that Mansion, we were in yesterday Fred", she replied. "And did you find any thing", he asked. "Yeah I sure did, that mansion was torn down by the council two years ago", she said.

"What", come another voice, Daphne had been in the Kitchen with Shaggy. "And , the guy Shaggy talked to, never made it through his Jail sentence, he died from a heart attack, after serving 9 years", Said Velma.

"What, you mean like I met a real ghost", asked Shaggy in surprise. "That we may never know", replied Velma.

Well that is how I am going to end the story, as a Mystery. I always wanted to end a story as a Mystery.:-), I will leave it to you guys to solve it.

Please leave a Review, and no Flames, cos this is how the story ends.
