Chapter 7

Drive Me Crazy

Shaggy sprinted into Fred's room first since it was across the hall. He sent a confused Scooby to get the girls, not trusting himself with Velma at the moment. He flung the door open and ran towards Fred, who'd shot up at the bang of the door. Shaggy had already landed right in front of him before he even had time to make a noise or move. Fred's eyes where clamped shut as if trying to avoid a very bad dream.

"Shag?" he asked.

"Fred... are you okay? Like man, come on.... I think I figured out who it is." said Shaggy, yanking Fred out of bed and dragging him to the hall.

"What's going on?" asked Daphne, Velma, and Scooby met in the hall.

"Like, I think I got it." said Shaggy, letting go of Fred, "It's the only other person who knows about all of this."

"R'Scrappy?" asked Scooby.

"No..." said Shaggy, "Scoob, who knew about this, wears perfume, and last time I checked, was furious at me?"

"...... Roogie?" asked Scooby, eyes wide.

"Sugey?" asked Velma.

"No... my ex-girlfriend, Googie. Like man, she knew everything about... she was there. We broke up a few months later." said Shaggy.

"You have more girl problems than a girl..." said Fred with a yawn.

".... Sadly. But like, its had to be. She's the only one..." Shaggy was cut off.

"Yeah and she did say she hated you after that." said Daphne with a nod.

"She did?" asked Shaggy.

"Yeah, I remember it because it was the same day as the first cheer practice. I was taking some photos for Fred's mom at his practice. I had just broken my new camera and I was majorly annoyed. She was whining to her friend with the red hair." said Daphne, casually.

"Why didn't you mention this earlier?" asked Fred.

"Because it was like what seven years ago. I also had no idea about the werewolf thing, or the fact she knew.... before us..." Daphne and the rest gave Shaggy a glare.

"I thought she got engaged?" asked Velma.

"Twice... she broke it off.." said Daphne.

"Girls we don't have time for gossip, we have to go to Googie's house.. see IF she's got the doll and get this reversed." said Fred.

"After that I read about this protection charm... and we are SO using it on Shaggy." said Daphne.

"You... where looking for protection.. for me?" asked Shaggy.

He'd thought it had been for them... not him. They quickly changed and jumped into the van, it was shortly after one as they drove. Googie lived outside of Coolsville, a good distance away. Shaggy was reading the protection section of the spell book, where Daphne had circled the spell, his name written above it. He felt horrible... for more than one reason. The first being his lack of confidence from his friends.. the second for not telling them earlier so they could have protected themselves... and, as Fred looked back at him, for not telling them about this sooner... even if they hadn't believed him at the time. Because just because you think your done with the past... doesn't mean your past is ever done with you.

"Shag?" Velma's voice cut through his thoughts as he glared at his hands.

"Hmm?" he looked up, her dark eyes not far from hers, he felt his spine coil.

"What's wrong?" she sat next to him, he stopped breathing, she blushed, "It's okay... ohm that's done with."

"Good." he breathed, but she still smelt different than the others to him.

"So?"

"Like, I just feel stupid for all of this." he grumbled.

"Don't... you couldn't have seen any of this coming...."

"And I didn't tell any of you about what was going on in my head." said Shaggy.

"I think it was better that way," said Velma, "Besides, we're not out of the woods yet."

"Like, nice choice of expression." said Shaggy as they entered a wooded road, "Yeah, your right... I mean even if she did cast the spell, like doesn't mean she'll admit it."

"For that, I have an idea." said Velma, with a smile.

In no less than six minutes longer, they arrived near a stone driveway. A small one story house at the end. The van drove up, but they stopped, deciding to walk the rest for safety purposes. Scooby thought it was one of their better idea, even though he didn't like this idea at first. The door opened, and a fairly pretty blonde stood there. Her eyes flickered with shock at seeing Fred, Daphne, Velma, and Scooby standing there... eyes solum and guant... oh it had taken sometime.

"Googie?" asked Daphne, wiping her eyes.

"Yeah?" asked Googie her head tilted.

"Ohm, we have some terrible news." said Fred, with a deep sigh, as he pulled a piece of paper out of his jacket, "It's about Shaggy..."

"Rogers?" asked Googie, her face seemed questioning.

Shaggy opened the window gingerly, landing effortlessly on the carpet. He needed to find it... but where would it be kept. He thought back to when they'd dated... she'd kept a box of everything they did in her closet... maybe. This was her room, he looked, but he couldn't find it. He didn't want to scope out her whole house, he didn't know how long his friends could fake his suicide. He stopped as the moon light caught some photos. Pictures of Googie with other men, but none more frequent than him. He froze... each picture had a single picture of the guy laid in front of it. And tied or bound to each was a different colored ribbon... no torn cloth... a red one tied to Shaggy's in a neat bow over his eyes. There was no dolls, there was pictures. The gang was on the other side of the house.. he flipped on the light... and froze. Dozens of pictures filled the space on the small room. Each held ribbons... some pictures had X's across them and the ribbon removed.... it was official this was WAY more than he'd expected. Torn and singed pages made together a spell book that lay on her bed. He turned off the light, they where going to play his way now.

Googie walked back into the house, moved towards the back of the house. She was upset.... why hadn't he come back to her... why didn't any of them figure it out... or if they did... they ran. She heard something behind her, but there was nothing there. She entered her room, a large red marker in hand. As she turned on the lights... she froze.... her pictures... all of them... where gone. Her spell book was gone. The window open as the wind blew through.

"Hey Googie?" came a voice behind her, she screamed.

Shaggy had popped out of the closet and stood casually with a smirk, which looked rather menacing in his werewolf form. Her expression went from horror to a confident smile. She held out her hand waiting for him to give the pictures back. He shook his head and took a step towards her.

"Shaggy, stop playing around. Give me them back and I'll fix this." she smiled.

"No... I like it." said Shaggy, his mind trying to catch up with his words, he was going to try a scare tactic, "I can get away with a lot of things this way. Killing, biting, maiming.. and no one thinks its Shaggy Rogers. Especially after the lovely note I left my friends."

"You wouldn't." said Googie with a calm flirty smile, though her scent betrayed her. Fear.

"I would." said Shaggy, "Now care explaining why?"

"Why?" her tone snapped, the fear vanished, Shaggy felt a little side-swiped, "Why?! Your kidding right? You left me like some cheap used of play toy. Because of you, I can't even have a decent relationship..."

"Like, your joking right. Me? Your the one who cheated on me with REDD HERRING! That's why we broke up." Shaggy clamped a hand over his mouth, he was growling.

"Don't you growl at me." said Googie, hands on hips, "I forgot how annoying your werewolf side was."

"Your the one who turned me into one." said Shaggy, crossing his arms.

"I turned you into a werewolf so you'd have to come back." Googie said proudly.

"... You lost me.... Like, I ruined your life... so... so you want me back?"asked Shaggy, "Have you like totally lost it!"

Scooby sat in the back of the van looking out the window. They'd parked by the trees, there was no sight of Shaggy. It was taking far too long. They had only been able to delay Googie for a short while, Shaggy'd been in the house for over twenty minutes now. They looked out the front window nervously.

"Oh my gosh, what if he snapped?" said Daphne, covering her mouth.

"Let's hope not." said Fred, rolling down the window.

"Maybe we should go knock and see what's going on." suggested Daphne.

"Yeah. Hey Googie, I know we just said he's dead, but can you please tell us if he's in your house... I think she might call the cops." said Velma, "Or a psych ward."

"What are you guys, like watching?" asked Shaggy, eating a candy-bar.

"Waiting for your werewolf self to get back in the van." said Fred, his eyes shot open, "Shaggy, your human again?!"

"Yeah.... we talked it out." said Shaggy, with a confident smile.

"How long have you been in the van?" asked Velma.

"Ohm... around the time Daphne suggested knocking on the door." said Shaggy, sitting back in his seat.

"Well that's good. Now we can go home." said Daphne.

"We're still using that charm thing." said Velma, giving Shaggy's arm a squeeze.

"What is it exactly?" asked Shaggy as Fred started up the van.

"It's like a series of strings tied together with a bead, but if you break one it allows some sort of transition to do with the original curse... for like fifteen minutes." said Velma.

"Huh... I can have werewolf moments under control... for fifteen minutes... that sound like, like a total fun Halloween costume.." said Shaggy with a chuckle.

"Your going to use it for evil aren't you?" whispered Velma.

"Reah, re ris," the three laughed, causing Fred to grimace.

Inside Googie's house she sat tied to a chair...... but that's another story.

THE END

Sorry for the bad ending, lol.
