"Are you sure this is the address?" Fred Jones asked looking up at the exclusive 21 floor high-rise apartments, from his red Mercedes-Benz. The windows defrost working over time, in the freezing New York winter.
"Yes Freddy, I’m very sure." Velma Dinkly from the very small back seat, wishing they had taken Daphne’s Purple Cadillac convertible instead.
"Come on you guys; let's just go see if his name's even on the buzz list." Daphne Blake said as she checked her face in the passenger seat mirror, for the third time since they had stopped. "My hair is getting all funkifide."
"Fine, but I don’t think they’d be caught dead in a place like this..." Fred said as they all got out of the car, and into the slushy Manhatten steets..
"Maybe they’ve moved up in the world." Daphne offered helpfully, as Velma looked at the buzz list.
"This far in only two years? I know they always lived cheap, but they spent all their cash on food! They couldn‘t afford a place here!" Fred said quizzically.
"Maybe they work here." Daphne wondered out loud. "Ah here we are Rogers, apartment number 495. Jinkies the penthouse, shall we?" She asked the others.
"May as well, but I’ll feel dumb if it isn’t them." Fred said not getting anywhere near the buttons.
"Oh I’ll do it!" Daphne said pushing the last tiny silver button. About half a minute later...
"Yes? Hello?" A clearly female voice answered, a small child could be heard in the background.
"Ummm... Excuse me is this the home of Norville Rogers and or Scooby-Doo?" Daphne asked worried that they HAD gotten the wrong apartment.
"Norville?" The woman asked laughing in a sweet way. "Oh sorry no. Shaggy isn’t home right now, you want to leave a message or come up?" Suddenly a small playful scuffle could be heard. "Scooby get down!"
elloello? Reddy, Velma, Raphne, is rat you?" Asked a familiar doggy voice.
"Scooby is that you?" They all asked at the same time.
"Druh, are you roming up?" Another small scuffle and the woman was back.
"Hi, I take it you guys are Shaggy’s friends then?" She said laughing at something.
"Yeah we are!" They all said again at the same time.
"Ok I’ll buzz you in; we’re in apartment 495, when the elevators open just tell Ian, you want the Rogers’ place." She said before buzzing them in.
"Thanks." "Thank you." "Great." Fred, Velma and Daphne all said as they walked in.
In the elevator was an odd silence between the three of them, even though Ian the elevator guy was eyeing both the girls. Velma blushed a little at the eyeballing from the tan blue haired guy, and Daphne was too busy making eyes at Fred to even notice.
"Ok people, here’s your stop." Ian said with a smile, when they offered him a tip he merely held up his hand. "Nah it's cool; I never take cash from friends of the Roger's."
They all exchanged looks at the pluralization of Shaggy’s last name. They walked into a short brightly yet tastefully decorated hallway, there was only one door and on it were three silver numbers 495. Suddenly the door swung open, looking down there was a very cute, very small six-year-old, in forest green overalls and pink shirt. She looked up at them wide-eyed, smiled, waved and then slammed the door in their face.
"Mommy!!!! Door!"
"Oh god Aerin open it, we’re expecting them!" Said the woman's voice from before.
The girl opened the door again letting them in.
"Hi! I’m Aerin, nice to meet you. Are you Daddy’s friends or Mommy’s friends? Or are you Scooby’s friends? Are you going to stay for a while are you going to eat and run? What’s your favorite colors?"
"Aerin! Enough with the questions, you’ll make them run away!" Just then an extremely good-looking woman with a short stylish black choppy haircut, opened the door all the way. "Hey, come on in."
They all walked in trying to take in everything they just learned; hopping Shaggy was just living there and not truly a father. They stepped into another short hallway with just a closet and a small wooden stool, from the hallway you could only see a bend that would lead to another room(s) and a set of steel stairs that lead up stairs.
"The living room is this way." She said picking up the tiny second grader in one arm she lead them around the corner the apartment opened up into a single large space that was both a living room, dinning area and a computer corner. "Aerin go get Scooby." Setting the girl down she bulleted off into another part of the house screaming at the top of her lungs, as they stepped into the large space.
"Scooooooooby-Doooooooo where are yoooooooouuu!?!?!?!?!?!"
"Oh dear God, she really does have our lungs." The youngish mother said with a smile, then turning to them, "Sorry I haven’t had time to introduce myself yet, I’m..."
"Reddy!!! Raphne!!! Velma!!! Yer‘re rere!!! Yer‘re rere!!!" The large Great Dane yelled flying down the stairs, Aerin on his back laughing. He jumped on all three of them at the same time. The little girl sliding off his back into a giggling little ball of pink and green.
"Scooby!!! You’re getting hair on my dress!" Daphne yelled at the same time petting the massive dog lovingly.
"The hair Scoob! The Hair!" Fred bellowed as he hugged the beast.
"Oh Scooby-Doo it’s good to see you again!" Velma said also hugging him.
"I rissed you guys!!" Scooby said licking them, Aerin still holding onto the dog’s back.
"Scooby more rides! Pleasssssssssssse!!!" Aerin begged suddenly. The dog jumped up and ran off into the house and then back to the trio.
"Come on ris ray, you guys."
They all followed him to the couch, where he sat down on one of the nice leather couches causing the child to slide off giggling.
"Thank you Scooby-Doo." She smiled at them and ran off to the door again, sitting on the small wooden stool that seemed some how made for her.
"She's always sitting there at 7:30 waiting for Shaggy to walk through the door." They looked up and there she was again setting a pitcher of something in front of them and several glasses. You guys thirsty?e ase asked holding the pitcher.
"Oh sure." Fred said nodding.
"Yes please." Said Velma.
"Please..." Daphne said looking around the apartment living room. The walls were painted off-white, but covered with bright and vivid artwork. The leather couch love seat and lay-z-boys were all black, but had tons of indie looking pillows, sari’s, and light blankets.
"Daphne... Pist, Daph!" She felt Freddy nudge her in the side, she had fazed out for a moment looking at the amazing decor. "Your drink." She looked at him and saw he had st est emptied his glass.
"Oh sorry, I was admiring your decor." She said taking her glass.
"Oh you like?" She said sitting down with her own glass. "Shags and I kept putting this off for months until one night I woke him up and we just did it." She said smiling at some of the paintings. Daphne just nodded and sipped her drink and opened her eyes wide and smiled.
"What’s in this? It’s fantastic." She said as she looked closer at the pitcher, noting the green and pink layers.
"Oh it’s fresh mint, lime juice and fresh watermelon and ice water. I’m glad yall like it." She said, when they all heard Aerin opening the door.
"DADDDYY!!!!!"
"Zoinks! You almost like knocked me down again flower child!" Cried out a familiar raspy voice. "You get much bigger and I’ll have like to start wheren’ a helmet when I come home! Hey, Hun, I hear we got visitors who is i...." He stopped dead in his tracks when he rounded the corner into his living room.
"Raggy! Look! rey came!" Scooby said bounding off the couch and over to him.
"They sure did, ol' buddy ol’ pal." Shaggy walked over to them, Aerin in one arm, the rest of the gang were on their feet. "Gang." They were surprised at his slightly different look.
"Shaggy." They all said in unison, staring at his silver earring and centered labret-ring.
Suddenly the five of them jumped into a giant group hug.
"Like man-o-man I haven’t seen you guys in like two years!" Shaggy said hugging them all tightly.
"You’re hard to track down." Fred said with a smile.
"Yeah I just got a letter from you last month." Daphne said with a false hurt smile.
"I’ve just started getting my mail from my old place." Said Velma with a shy smile.
Shaggy looked at them all very confused, "Ah guys I think we need to talk."
"What do you mean Shaggy?" Velma asked for everyone.
Shaggy walked over to the loveseat where his daughter and wife were sitting. "I like take it you've all like met my wife Soyala WinterFire Rogers?" He said as he sat next to her, before realizing he still had his backpack on, taking it off he tossed it on the floor, then relaxing into the couch in his old mannerism they were used to seeing.
"Soyala WinterFire?" Fred asked.
"Wait up WIFE?!?!?!" Daphne blurted out.
"That’s exactly what I was thinking." Velma mused.
"You’re married?" Fred asked lost.
"FRED!" The girls yelled.
"This what I was worried about..." Shaggy stood and started pacing the room. "Guys I’ve been like sending you letters for the last 2 years. Since like the last ‘official‘ case of Mysteries Inc...."
"WHAT?!?!" They all yelled.
"Yeah, we thought you guys just didn’t want to see him or meet us." Soyala said from her seat, running her fingers through her hair. "We even senu inu invites to the wedding, Fred, Shaggy wanted you to be the best man, even i was was a traditional Hopi wedding."
"Really?" Fred said blond brow furrowed. He rubbed his chin in actual thought.
"Dude we wanted you to be Aerin’s godfather." Shaggy said still pacing. "Why didn’t any of my old letters get through?"
"Or mine, I even tried writing." Soyala said, Aerin asleep in her lap, bored from the ‘grown up‘ talk. "This is so..."
"Fucked." Shaggy said plainly "Like really unbelievable FUCKED." The rest of the Scooby gang looked at Shaggy surprised at the profanity. "Where the hell have all our letters been going?"
"I better take the kid to her room, before this gets loud." Soyala said getting up.
"Nah I’ll do it." Shaggy said taking the smile child from her, "You get to know the gang."
"Ok, doll." She stood on tiptoe and gave him a kiss; he quickly slid his arm around her and deepened it just a bit before heading up the stairs. She smiled as he vanished up ste steps clearly looking at his butt. She looked back at them and grinned. "Now that is one sweet ass." She said matter-of-factly.
They all just looked at one another wondering just how much had changed in the last two years. They finally had a moment to get a good look at the woman who SOMEHOW managed to settle Norville ‘Shaggy’ Rogers. She had very thick black hair with purple dyed streaks; her black and red sweater stopped just above her firm curvy hips, and had a slit down the front that showed off her full breasts.
"So when did you and Shaggy meet?’ Daphne asked suddenly breaking the ice.
"Oh, umm a little less than eight years ago, Shags and I met over the summer after high school graduation. " She smiled at the thought. "I believe you all were solving the Case of the Kung fu Mushrooms?"
"Ahh yes the summer of the Kung fu Mushrooms and Samurai Goats." Fred said nodding.
"Yeah they were connected." Velma said with a grin. "So your Hopi Native American?"
"Half." She said with a smile. "And I know Soyala WinterFire is a mouthful, actually Shags is the only one who really calls me that. Even my folks call me either Winter or Sol."
"Sol?" Daphne asked.
"Short for SOLstice. You see Soyala is Hopi for Time of the Winter Solstice. So what ever you call me I answer too." She smiled and then pointed to each of them. "And correct me if I’m wrong but, Velma Dinkly, Daphne Blake and Fred Jones?" All three nodded, just then the front door slammed open, with a loud BANG!
"Sol!!! I’m gonna kill Jay! That jerks been cheating on me!" In stormed an extremely pissed of 19 year oldr Lir Light brown hair was in a high pony tail, and was a good three inches taller than Winter, and built willowy like a ballet dancer. But she couldn’t look anything less like a ballerina. She had on snug bell-bottoms and an acid green shirt. "That ASS was CHEATING on me!!!" She rounded the corner and saw the guest and just ran into another room. Winterod aod and looked in the direction the girl had ran.
"Excuse me, But I think my little sister just had a VERY bad day." She quickly walked after the 19-year-old. As she was leaving Shaggy came running down the stairs.
"Hey where'd she go?" He said looking around before sitting back on the loveseat.
"Did we come at a bad time?" Velma asked looking slightly worried.
"No not at all, I take it Una just got home?" Shaggy said looking like he was going to laugh,
"Yes and it appears Jay has been cheating on her." Winter said entering the room.
"What!?" Shaggy jumped up suddenly. "I’ll kill him! Is she ok? Want me to get the wire cutters for his breaks?" The others were surprised at how macho he suddenly got.
"Nah, I gave her a box of my chocolates and a bit of wine, she’ll be fine." Winter said sitting down next to him, letting her tiny clean bare feet rest on the ebony and glass coffee table. Daphne noticed that each toe was painted black and had a neon blue smiley face on them.
"Ok... But I DO get to ask if she wants me to cut his break wires RIGHT?" Shaggy said in mock seriousness.
"Yeah yeah yeah... You going to be this protective of Aerin when she starts dating?" Winter asked with a smile.
"Nope." Shaggy said with a shake of his head.
"Why not?!" She balked questioningly.
"Because MY daughter will never date... Well actually she can, AFTER I’m DEAD." He said with a firm nod.
Winter started laughing and smiled "It’s a good thing she’s MY daughter too then!
Ev
Everyone then started laughing then and Shaggy just stuck out his tongue at her then sipped from their glass. "Hey where’s Scooby?" He asked wondering where he had wandered off.
"Probably either one of the kids' rooms, you know how much he adores them."
"Either that or into dinner." Shaggy said joking.
"Shit! Dinner! What time is it?" She said grabbing his wrist and letting it go when she didn’t see a watch.
"It’s ten till eight." Fred said looking at Daphne’s watch ignoring the one on his wr
"Oh damn." She quickly sprinted out of the room and into the one both she and Una had vanished into, which we can now assume
is the kitchen. Shaggy watched her go with an adoring look on hice bce before looking back at his friends.
"So where have you guys been the last two years?"ggy ggy asked laying back in the love seat kicking off his shoes so they lay next to his backpack.
"Well I got tired of NASA, so I did what I’ve always wanted to." Velma said proudly.
"Oh yeah like what?" He asked pouring himself some more to drink,
"I’ve opened my own Bookstore, it has modern and Vintage books, plus I hunt down rare books for customers and myself." She
said with an almost dreamy look on her face. "It can be really exciting finding some of the really valuable ones."
"I bet." Shaggy said nodding, then smiling. "I’ve got to talk to you later about finding one I heard about for Soyala’s birthday. And I will be paying." He said before she offered to hand them over free.
"I dunno Shaggy some of those books are kinda pricey." She said wondering where all this money they seemed to have was coming from.
"No problem, ANYWAY, so like what about you two?" He asked changing the subject.
"Oh I've been doing some small time directing and I've gone back to school actually." Fred said sheepishly.
"That’s awesome man!" Shaggy said genuinely happy for him. "I’ve been thinking about going back too."
"I’ve finally been putting my Interior Design degree into use. And I know style when I see it and Ie toe to see this place is really wonderful."
"Thanks, Soyala thought of it, I just helped, only thing I asked is there was lots of color." Shaggy said proud of both his friends and his wife. "Oh I also said that we had to have Aerin’s and lil’ Shaggy’s footprints somewhere in the living room." He said pointing to two of the canvases’ on the wall.
"Wait who’s Little Shaggy?" Fred asked finally on the ball. Shaggy was about to answer when.
"Shaggy could you come to the kitchen for a sec? I need you to taste something for me." Winter called out as she pushed back the window sized changing screen that turned the wall into a counter to the kitchen.
"Be right there!" Shaggy said Jumping over the couch the gang was sitting on and bolting to the kitchen "Like come on you guys! It’s tasting time!" He yelled to them from the kitchen door.
They all looked at each other before getting up and walking to the bar as they watched Winter pull a large tray from the top duplex oven, something in the bottom oven they couldn’t see. Shaggy stood over her eagerly bouncing on the soles of his feet. Una was sitting on a barstool near a large window in the kitchen eating chocolate and sipping some clear wine, from the look on her face, God could walk through the door and she wouldn't care.
"Um what is that?" Daphne asked looking at the golden brown puff pastry mound, her mouth watering.
"Oh one sec!" She said setting the clearly heavy pan, as Shaggy passed her a carving knife and fork. "Beef Wellington with pate de foie gras, button mushrooms, black truffles, and wrapped in puff pastry." She cut off the two ends and sliced them up into bite sized pieces on a small plate. "Taste." Winter said pushing it to them, as she speared a piece on her knife and gave it to Shaggy. They all took a piece and popped it in their mouths, and immediately started grinning, as the flavors exploded in their mouths. Shaggy immediately started snuggling her with a boyish grin on his face.
"I see how you landed him," Fred said his mouth filled with his second piece. "I’d marry you too. OUCH!" He yelped as Daphne elbowed him in the side also on her second piece.
"Ah I didn’t just marry her for the food, but it was a sweet bonus." Shaggy said his hands resting wrapped around her hips, as she put the rest of the Wellington into a warm oven.
"Ok out all of you! I have more cooking to dofor for my folks get here!" She said shoving Shaggy out and shooing them away from the window and shutting it, but not before handing them the rest of the teaser samples.
"Your in-laws are coming over?" Daphne asked, "That’s it you’re going to have your hands full we’ll leave." She started pushing Fred to the door, but Shaggy cut them off before they got to the start of the hallway.
"No no no, like you guys are staying for dinner and longer than that if ya want, mom and pops are cool, she’s just testing out some new recipes. C’mon stay guys; I like ain’t seen ya in years." Shaggy begged. The trio exchanged hesitant glances at one another. "Pleaassssssssssssseeee!!" He begged again, they could see where Aerin got it.
" Raww you got to ray you guys." Scooby said standing at the foot of the steps. The gang smiled and nodded agreeing.
"Great!" Shaggy said clapping his hands. "You guys can go get your stuff out of your car and just give the keys to Chris he parks the cars for guests, just tell him your one of ours. The door will be open when you get back so just come on in." He turned and started for the stairs.
"What are you going to do?" Fred asked.
"Me? I’ve been at work all day, I’m gonna change and get a shower." He thought about what he said and smiled. "But like maybe not in that order." He said with a thoughtful grin.
"Right..." They all said in chorus.
