Author's note: And now comes D3 SDMI: In Fear of the Phantom!

Before getting onto the story, I want to note that I am seriously considering revising several of my Dimension One (My modern-day reboot of the franchise) stories, such as Phantoms and the Talent Star Finals, namely because they were mainly written when I was new to the game and now that think back about those stories, particularly those that features my OCs William Walter Wu and Elizabeth Lee, the story line doesn't seem to work well with my current mindset now that I am more familiar with the game.

As a result, just a bit of heads up, expect some of the stories to either be removed from the site or be tweaked completely.

This also applies to my William Wu stories on FictionPress. I am planning to do a complete reboot of my OC and as a result, there are going to be plenty of changes to the stories.

I don't own Scooby-Doo. Hanna-Barbera Productions and Warner Bros. does. If I do own the franchise, you all won't be reading this or any of my stories on this site, nor will Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated in its original form would ever be aired. Instead, you'll be watching high-quality Scooby series and movies on television and on YouTube through an official Scooby-Doo YouTube Channel by now.

Chapter 1: An old yearbook and an eco-goth band

May 7, 2012

It has been 3 days since the school dance at Crystal Cove Central High School took place and the showdown with Alice May. Since then, the gang has taken the time to relax, although they were puzzled by the fact that Alice wasn't what she claimed to be.

Speaking of the dance, Fred and Velma had a marvelous time dancing together after the capture and were quite reluctant to split up and head their separate ways after the dance was over.

As they left the school to head home for the night after the dance, Fred signaled Velma over to ask her something.

Shaggy, Scooby and Daphne looked on as Fred asked Velma something.

"I was wondering what did you meant when you referred to me as 'my Freddie', Velma?" Fred asked.

Velma raised an eyebrow. "What did you mean, Freddie?"

"When that ghost girl tried to force you away from me, you said to her that you're not letting anyone 'hurt my Freddie'." Fred said.

"Oh, that." Velma's cheeks burned in embarrassment. She sighed before turning to Fred and asked, "Well, if I explain the reason behind that remark, Freddie, does that change things between us?"

Fred thought for a while before shrugging. "To be honest, Velms, it depends on your reasoning, though I'm sure the bigger question is that will this make things complicated between us?"

"True." Velma nodded.

What followed was some lengthy discussion as seen by the other three, and afterwards, they saw Fred placing his hands on Velma's shoulders before they shared a hug.

Shaggy turned to his two friends and remarked, "About time."

Scooby and Daphne both nodded in agreement as Fred and Velma came to join them, holding hands.

That morning, Shaggy arrived at his locker as usual to put away his school bag. When he opened it, he was greeted by a surprising sight.

"Like, what's this old yearbook doing in my locker?" He wondered to himself as he pulled out the old yearbook.

The yearbook was for the 1983-1984 school year, and as he examined it, he thought he could smell peaches.

"Why does this old yearbook smelled like peaches?" He wondered to himself before something occurred to him.

SHAGGY'S FLASH VISION

Watching himself and the gang heading into the school gym for the dance last Friday, Shaggy looked around in the shadows before noticing Alice, who was in the crowd of students, sneaking off down the hallway.

He saw that she was holding something in her hand and he quickly paused his flash vision before walking over to her.

She was holding the 1983-1984 Crystal Cove Central High School Yearbook he is currently holding.

"How did she manage to get this yearbook into my locker?" He wondered as he resumed playing his flash vision.

He then watched Alice approaching his locker, and then his eyes widened as she turned the combination lock handle and opened the locker door effortlessly.

"Zoinks!" He muttered as he watched Alice placing the yearbook into his locker before slamming the door shut and then making her way to the nearby girls washroom. "I'm going to have to change lockers or get a new lock."

He shook his head in annoyance and made a note to himself to get a new combination lock.

END OF FLASH VISION

Shaggy looked again at the old yearbook and decided to take a look at it.

Flipping through the pages, he soon came upon the seniors photo section of the yearbook.

Scanning through the photographs of the seniors, his eyes soon caught onto the photos of Ronald "Ronnie" Jones, Linda Owens, her twin brother Ricky "W.W." Owens and Kelly Summers.

Then, he flipped through the pages before coming upon the clubs section, and he saw the Mysteries Five school band featured in the section of the yearbook.

The band members were in the photo, along with their mascot Professor "Knows Too Much" Pericles, who's a parrot.

"Somehow, I've got a feeling that we're not going to hear the last of Mr. E." He thought to himself as he noticed Daphne arriving at her locker through his peripheral vision.

Later that night, as the city sleeps for the night, a certain tour bus was driving down the highway.

The bus has a goth-style paint livery and it's sides had the words "Hex Girls" on it.

After what turned out to be a long drive, the tour bus arrived in a motel located in the outskirts of Crystal Cove City.

After the passengers got their rooms and headed in to call it a night, the lights went dim and the parking lot was quiet.

That is, until a shadowed figure stepped out from the bushes near the parking lot and walked casually to the Hex Girls' parked tour bus.

The figure was armed with a pair of wire cutters, and it slipped to the bottom of the bus.

A minute later, the figure was gone, but underneath the bus, a puddle of a certain fluid was getting larger by the seconds.
