This is a story I thought longer of writing it.

It's a bit "Danny Phantom" feeling.... well, what will happen if one member of our beloved crime-solving gang will turn half-ghost half-human?

Eh.. yeah, that's it.

Read.

I stumble. Fall.

Fast, I get up again. Well, where'd that ghost went? I just hope not after me.

I look around, I'm alone, we split up while running away from that creep, not even Scooby is with me.

Concentrating on hearing if something's or someone's around, I short hold my breath.

No one there.

Phew.

I walk some steps, I've got not the bit of a clue where I am.

"Looks like you're the one." a dark voice suddenly says.

"ZOINKS!" if I only could see something! "W-what do ya mean?"

"I hoped it would be that girl with the glasses, but, okay, then it'll be you."

Velma? What's that guy talking about? "What are you talking about?"

"You'll see."

Haha, funny. I can't see anything. Wait, what's that sound? Something electronic is getting started, I'd say. But what?

Hey, what's that green light? It's getting brighter. It's... a laser?

It shoots on me. I don't feel anything. Wait, that hurts! Ouch! Everything's getting black. I hear someone screaming. Is it me? I dunno. I get unconscious. What's that light? I feel nothing but pain.

Then, everything's finally black.

Velma is walking through some corridors, searching for the other members of Mystery Inc.

Suddenly, she hears a loud scream. A horrible scream. A painful scream. She wants to hold her hands over her ears, when she suddenly recognize the voice.

It's Shaggy's voice.

Velma freezes. She had heard him scream very often, but never like this. Shaggy screams always when he's scared, of course. But this is no scream he makes because he's scared. This is a scream he makes, because he's in pain. Deep pain. Heavy pain. Harsh pain.

Velma moves without thinking, she runs to the place where the scream comes from. Came from, it has stopped. Suddenly, there's someone else, she crashes into some figures.

"Velma!" she has crashed into Daphne and Fred.

"D-did you heard that, too?"

"Yeah. We gotta get to Shaggy."

They run toward the place together. Finally, they come to a little warehouse.

After a short time, they see Shaggy lying on the floor.

"He- he's not...?" Daphne couldn't speak it out. Fred walks over to Shaggy and feels for his pulse.

"No. He's just uncon- huh?" he says when he suddenly notices something.

"What the..." he begins to say, when Daphne and Velma, who had come over to him, see, what had baffled him.

Shaggy's hair wasn't brown anymore. It was raven-black.

When I wake up, my whole body's hurting.

"Ouch!" I mumble and open my eyes to see Velma, Daphne and Fred staring at me with confused faces. When they look into my now open eyes, they're even more confused.

"Shaggy? What -" Velma begins, when we hear fast footsteps.

"Raggy!" Scooby comes around an edge and runs over to me, to lick my face. "Rhy'd rou ream?"

"I screamed?" I ask. So it was me, I've heard.

"Yeah. Loud and scary, as you were in deep pain." Fred says.

"Well, probably because I was in deep pain and- why are you all staring at me baffled like this?" I ask and sit up.

"Look by yourself." Daphne says and gives me a little mirror.

I look into it.

"HUH?" I know, that doesn't sounds very clever, but what would you say, when you wake up and your hair is suddenly raven-black and your eyes are bilious green? "Um... well, that's weird."

"Rotally."

"Shaggy, what happened? We all heard you scream painfully."

"Well, by running away from that ghost, I came here and then there was suddenly this creepy voice, saying something about me and that I'm the one now, also if he hoped that it would be that girl with the glasses, I think he meant you, Velma, and then there was this sound like something electronic would warm up and suddenly some green laser or so shoot on me... well, it has hurt extremely, so I screamed, that'd be the scream you guys heard and went unconscious after that."

They look worried at me.

"Whatever that green laser was, I'd say it changed something." Fred said and gives me a hand to stand up. I grab for it, but my hand simply walks through his. In fact, my hand's missing!

"Whoa! Where's my hand?" I say and with that, my hand's there again.

I look at my hand.

"You saw that, too, didn't you?" I ask the guys. Everyone nods, to puzzled to say something.

I shake my head. "Ooookaaay.... something here is really, really strange." I grab Fred's hand, now my hand doesn't goes through it and I can stand up.

I still look at my hand. Then, an idea pops up in my head. What if...? I've got to try it.

The others look even more worried at me, when I stare on my hand, fully concentrated on it.

"Shaggy? Are you al- " Velma begins to say, when my hand gets invisible. Everyone's jaw drops. I kneel down and touch the floor with my invisible hand. I can feel it and I can lay my hand on it like always. Then, I concentrate once more and my hand gets also intangible and I can reach through the floor.

"Raggy?" The gang is staring at me, or, better, through me, because my whole body plus clothes are now invisible.

"Whoops." I say, stand up and concentrate on getting visible again. Somehow, something more happens, there's a little green light. I dunno what exactly happens.

"You think, you're back to normal now?" Daphne asks.

"Huh?" What does she mean?

"Your hair and your eyes are brown again." Velma informs me.

"Oh." There's another idea in my head. I concentrate once more, there's another green light and I can tell by the look on the gang's faces, that my hair and eyes changed again. I try it and spot, that I can change from one to the other always.

After several tries, I also spot, that I can turn invisible and intangible always, with both forms of me.

Noticing, that the gang's still looking wide-eyed at me, I stop trying.

"Well, looks like we've got a new mystery, huh?" I say and smile a bit.

Mh... I really don't know what I think of that by myself.

Well, anyway, what do you think?
