Thank you everyone for the support on the first chapter! 

It was now the next morning and Velma is working as a tour guide for a group of Crystal Cove tourists but she looks bored and miserable.

"Welcome to the Crystal Cove haunted tour. I'm your ghoulish guide Velma. The first documented case of the curse of Crystal Cove is from 1630, when a garrison of Spanish conquistadors mysteriously vanished from the harbor."

"Oh, that is so scary! Where did they go?" A tourist asks.

"What part of the word "mystery" didn't you understand?" Velma says sarcastically before continuing. "The curse struck again in 1765 when an entire town of missionaries likewise disappeared." The tour group gasp in shock and Velma silently groans.

"Anyway, things were pretty quiet until 100 years later, when Cletus Darrow found gold here and renamed the town Crystal Cove. Most people thought the curse had been lifted, until the entire Darrow family disappeared one Halloween and was never seen again." Velma plays a tape on a portable tape recorder of the Darrow family screaming

"Moving on." Velma leads the tourists inside to the exhibits. "Since the disappearance of the Darrow family, Crystal Cove has been a hub of paranormal activity. You might recognize some of our more famous visitors. Ghostly deep sea diver Captain Cutler, Miner '49er, Charlie the Haunted Robot, and who could forget the terrifying stylings of Space Kook? Not me." Velma says flatly.

"Oh! How frightening!"

"Oh! Absolutely blood-curdling."

"Not really. They all turned out to be fakes." Velma says.

The tourists gasp and talk amongst themselves.

"Yep. Captain Cutler was just some guy who was hijacking boats. Miner '49er's real name was Hank. Charlie belonged to Mr. Jenkins, who thought it would be easier to run an amusement park with a crazy robot. And Space Kook? Oh, don't get me started! Ooh!" Velma says but she suddenly finds her mouth covered by her parents.

"Thank you, Velma. Well, that concludes the terror-ific tour." Her father says nervously.

"Don't forget to stop in at the haunted snack shop for souvenirs and your complimentary undead sipper cup." Her Mother says and the tourists begin to walk off leaving the three.

"What do you think you were doing?" Velma's mother asks a little mad.

"Are you trying to destroy our business?" Her father asks slightly annoyed as well.

"Reboot, parentals. I was just being honest." Velma says.

"Those were isolated incidents in Crystal Cove's otherwise-unblemished supernatural past of hauntings and paranormal happenings." Her father says.

"Your generation's belief, not mine. My generation, we only got one thing on our minds..." Velma states.

At Fred home he is in his room tying his ascot while looking in the mirror. "Solving mysteries and building traps."

"That's 2 things, Fred." His dad says.

"You know what I mean, Dad. We just want answers. Is that wrong?" Fred asks.

"Tickling chin whiskers, Fred. The Mayor's son is supposed to set an example. We have a new resident join the town and the first time he meets you is when you are behind bars. Just try to set a good example when you take them with you to school today." Mayor Jones sighs.

"I'm trying, dad. In fact, just yesterday, I entered one of my traps in the district science fair. It was rejected for not actually having anything to do with science, but--" Fred says but get's interrupted.

"I just don't want you to make a mistake you'll regret." Mayor Jones says.

"You mean like making a bad trap?" Fred asks.

"No! Life is not all about traps. It's also about..."

At Shaggy and Scooby's they have a giant stack of pancakes they are putting things on.

"Pancakes. And bacon." Scooby says.

"And sausages, and orange juice." Shaggy adds.

They take turns feeding each other while Shaggy's parents watch in slight disgust.

"Don't forget to chew..." Shaggy's mother says.

"And breathe." His father adds.

"Mmm. Like, thanks, Mom and Dad." Shaggy says.

"Yeah. Ranks, Mom and Dad." Scooby repeats.

"Your mother and I are worried about this mystery phase you're going through. We're not saying find new friends, we're--"

"Yes, we are. Find new friends."

"Oh, you guys have got nothing to worry about, man. Me and Scoob always play it safe. If there's danger..." Shaggy says.

"We run, fast. Really fast." Scooby adds.

"And as for our friends, if you guys just gave them a chance, you'd see..."

Daphne is sitting with her parents.

"The gang is misunderstood. We're just solving mysteries. All the kids are doing it." Daphne says.

"No, they're not." Her parents say bluntly.

"And what about this Fred Jones? Certainly, there must be other boys." Her mother now asks.

"Not like Fred. He's, like, one of those geniuses that no one understands until they're dead. He sees things different, and he wants to catch those different things in his traps." Daphne says in a fantasy of her own.

"Honey, we just want you to go on to have a rich career, like your sisters." Her father says now and he points at Daphne's sisters standing by: Daisy, Dawn, Dorothy, and Delilah. Suddenly they all hear a honk

"Oh, that's Fred and the gang. Got to go. Don't want to be late for school. Bye, Mom. Bye, Dad. Bye, Daisy. Bye, Dawn. Bye, Dorothy. Bye, Delilah." Daphne says as she leaves the house.

Daphne quickly exits her house and runs to the mystery machine. As she gets to van she opens the door on the passenger side but her eyes widen as she sees an unfamiliar figure sat in her usual spot in-between Fred and Scooby.

"Morning Daphne! Sorry Y/n's got your spot today dad wanted me to take him to school with us." Fred says cheerfully sat behind the wheel.

"Y/n?" Daphne asks repeating the name. 

"Sorry is this your usual spot?" Y/n asks indeed being sat in her spot.

Daphne wanted to say yes so she could sit closer to Fred but she also wanted to be polite. "That's okay." She said slightly sad but she saw Y/n begin to move and soon his feet were on the pavement as he got out the front of the van. "Oh Thanks." Daphne said cheerfully. 

"You're welcome" Y/n said not really looking at her as he walked to the back of the van and opened the door where Velma and Shaggy were all sat. Y/n crouched a little as he stepped inside and closed the door behind him before taking a seat against the van walls.

Down below in the sewers. Workers are using jackhammers, except for a worker , who is eating a strange-looking green slush from a cup.

"Hey, you sure you guys don't want any of this Fruitmeir's smoothie? Oh, it's delic- ahhhhh!" The worker falls through a wall he went to go lean back on.

"What the whozit? Which one of you broke that wall?"

"Wha- we barely touched it." A second worker says.

"Is that another sewer?" A third asks

"Impossible! There's only one sewer, and we're in it- unless..." The first worker says

"...We've broken into another dimension?" The second one asks.

"No, idiot. We've busted through to one of the old Crystal Cove caves."

The three workers are start walking into the cave they have discovered. They approach a stack of barrels leaking green ooze. Worker 2 attempts to twist off the top of one of the barrels. Unable to open it, he knocks on the lid twice, stepping back when the barrel moves

"Huh? I think there's something in there. What should we do?"

"Well, it's pretty clear, isn't it? Those are radioactive symbols- meaning what's ever inside is dangerous. Meaning we need to open it right away. We don't want what's ever in there to mess up our schedule."

Worker 1 holds up a flashlight while the other two pry open a container with crowbars

"Hey, I think I see someth-AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Growls and screams echo through the chamber.

Fred and Daphne are sitting in the front, with Scooby's head sticking out the passenger window. While Y/n, Velma and Shaggy are in the back.

"Why didn't you text me last night? I waited up for you." Velma asks Shaggy ask he takes a bite out of his food before swallowing.

"Um, like, me and Scoob ordered a pizza, and then we just fell asleep watching a Vincent Van Ghoul movie." Shaggy says to Velma.

"Okay, apology accepted." Velma says and she moves from her side of the van to sit besides Shaggy. She walks her fingers up Shaggy's chest. "But I still missed you..." She grabs the front of Shaggy's shirt and pulls him toward her with her lips puckered. Shaggy makes a sound of confusion and discomfort. He pulls her hands off his shirt apologetically.

"Not here, Velma- not in public. Y/n's here with us." Shaggy says.

"Why? Y/n has his eyes close and both  Daphne and Fred are going to find out sooner or later." Velma says.

"I'm not worried about them! It's Scooby-Doo; he's my best friend. I wanna break it to him, like, gently. I'm just waiting for the right time." Shaggy says to her.

"How about now - hey, Scoob-" She is interrupted by a manhole cover rocketing into the air, followed by billowing green gas. Fred slams on the brakes as the girls shriek to avoid getting hit by the projectile. The sudden jerk in motion causes Y/n to calmly open his eyes. The manhole misses the van by a few feet and slams into the pavement, where it becomes stuck. There is a loud fierce growl, and the air around the gang thickens, turning even greener. A mysterious shadowy figure emerges from the sewers, still growling viciously. Daphne screams in horror, dives across Scooby, and frantically rolls up the window, the creature's hand hitting the window less than a second after it's fully closed. Everyone but Y/n yells out in alarm, and the creature advances, its glowing, green claws outstretched. All of a sudden, the beast's arms shoot out a radioactive-looking green substance, grabs hold of the Mystery Machine and begins to rock it, shaking the gang around while they scream out of fear. Velma gets thrown into Y/n but he holds his position in the van well considering how much it is being shaken back and forth. He keeps her from getting flung back into the van wall. As suddenly as it attacked, the beast drops the van back to the ground, and stalks off. It disappears into the shadows, under the cover of the green smoke. As the van comes to a rest from the attack Y/n let's got of Velma. 

"Thanks..." She says calmly. 

"Don't mention it." Y/n says and he turns to the side and opens the back door and getting out now.

Shaggy whimpers. "Like, what was that?!"

"It looks like a mystery to me, and I think that's just a little more important than school!" Fred says confidently getting out of the van too. He see's Y/n crouched over the now open manhole looking down.

"So much for a quiet day." Y/n says to himself.  "Are these the Mysteries you were referring to earlier." Y/n asks Fred and the gang looks at him as they join Fred's side.

"Yeah we solve them all the time!" Fred grins. "Want to help us out?" He asks Y/n.

"Well you are my ride to the school so I'll stick with you for now and see where this leads." Y/n says.

The Gang and Y/n had all now climbed down into the caves and Fred shines a flashlight around, as the rest of the gang walks beside him. The group notices three barrels covered in green goo marked with radioactive symbols, and approach them.

Y/n recognises the style of the barrel drums immediately. "These are military." He says examining them and he is soon joined by Velma. 

"From the oxidation, probably 30, 40, years old." Velma comments.

"You're right. Nice observation." Y/n says and Velma smiles with a small hint of pride.

Daphne pulls out a second flashlight and ventures a few feet from the others. The beam of light reveals a shiny object lying on the ground and she picks it up.

"Hey! Fred, I found something!" Daphne says.

She examines the magnifying glass- shaped object, and accidentally presses something and it opens revealing itself to be a locket that plays a small tune. Inside the locket is a photograph of two young people inside.

Fred walks over and looks at it. "Hmm could be a clue. Good work Daphne." Fred says.

Daphne smiles and turns her head. "Thanks Fred you're so sweet..." She sees that Fred has left and is looking for more clues. "It's okay...We can talk later." She says to save herself some embarrassment and she looks at the locket feeling disappointed. 

Scooby begins sniffing the ground around where Daphne had found the locket and Shaggy finds a construction workers hard hat on the ground. 

"Does anyone else hear that?" Y/n suddenly asks the gang look at him. 

"Like hear what?" Shaggy asks.

"Yeah all I can hearing is the water dripping." Fred says. 

"Exactly." Y/n says. "There is no water here. So what's causing the dripping?" Y/n proposes and the gang all look at each other in puzzlement. Y/n holds out his hand. "Can I have a flashlight please?" He asks. Fred throws his flashlight up for Y/n and he catches it without having to look. Y/n begins walking a few forward and shines the flashlight up towards the cave's ceiling. On the ceiling appears to be three dead bodies stuck up by a green substance. 

Scooby let's out a frightened scream and the others gasp. Y/n just stands and looks at the bodies with a stoic look. "We should call the authorities and let them know." He says and everyone agrees.

Y/n and the gang are now out of the caves as the bodies cocooned in the green substance are being loaded into ambulances. 

"Alright you see what happens when you kids stick your noses where they don't belong. People get cocooned!" The sheriff says angrily. 

"Like man we found em like that." Shaggy says.

"Sheriff their was a monster..." Daphne tries to say but the Sheriff interrupts her.

"From this point forward this is a crime scene and future tourist attraction. Stay out of it." The sheriff warns them before he walks off. 

"I got a stay out of it right here..." Velma says annoyed and the gang look at her but they hear Y/n chuckle. 

"Let me talk to him." Fred says and he begins to head off to speak to the sheriff.

"Don't worry Fred will make him understand." Daphne says dreamily. 

"Somehow I doubt that..." Y/n says and he points at Fred. Velma and Daphne look and can see that Fred is carrying one of the cocooned bodies on his shoulders and is running towards the gang.

"Shaggy start the van." Fred calls out.

"Like I thought you were going to talk to him!?" Shaggy says running alongside Fred with Scooby.

"He wasn't in a listening mood." Fred says.

Y/n opens the back doors to the mystery machine. "So you stole a body?" He asks calmly and chuckles amused. Fred quickly puts the body in the back of the van as Shaggy climbs in the front and starts the van. Velma, Daphne and Y/n are all sat in the back as Scooby and Fred clamber into the front with Shaggy putting his foot down on the accelerator. Daphne and Velma look at the cocooned body with uneasy but it never bothers Y/n as he sits opposite the two.

"Don't worry I know just who can helps us!" Fred says determined.

"Is this a regular occurrence for you all?" Y/n asks.

"Mysteries? Yes. Bodies? No." Velma says as she looks at the body now.

Daphne let's out a tired sigh. "My parents would kill me if they knew I was in a van with a dead body..." She says.

"Like mine too..." Shaggy says as he focuses on the road. 

"I'm not convinced it's actually dead." Y/n says looking at the cocoon.

"I don't Y/n...He looks pretty dead to me." Fred says.

'Trust me you've not seen a dead body...' Y/n thinks to himself.

"Oh we've not even properly introduced ourselves in the chaos of everything." Daphne suddenly realises. 

"Well I know Fred." Y/n says and Fred smiles.

"Well I'm Daphne." Daphne says offering a nice smile to Y/n.

"Velma." Velma says without much enthusiasm but Y/n just figured this was how she was.

"Like I'm Shaggy and that's Scooby Doo." Shaggy says introducing both himself and Scooby.

"Rice to meet you." Scooby says and Y/n pats his head causing Scooby to giggle. "Ree-hee-hee."

"I have to say it was impressive you worked out the cocoons were there just from the sound of dripping." Daphne says to Y/n.

"It was nothing special. You all would have all found them without me eventually. So who is this person we are going to see that you think can help Fred?" Y/n asks.

"This can't be the best idea you could have come up." Y/n says as he runs alongside Fred and Shaggy who are running while carrying the cocooned body. 

The two suddenly burst into a classroom filled with students. "Professor Raffalo we need your help." Fred says and the students all scream and flee at the sight of the body.

"Couldn't you kids wait till break!" Professor Raffalo says annoyed.  

Y/n, Velma and Daphne walk into the classroom now with Scooby following behind. Fred and Shaggy set the cocoon down on one of the free tables and Professor Raffalo begins examining the cocoon using a stethoscope. 

"Is he..." Shaggy gulps. 

"No, He's alive!" Professor Raffalo says amazed. 

"Huh Y/n was right." Fred says shocked but glad the body wasn't dead.

"He appears to be in some kind of dehydrated stasis. I don't quite know what it means but I'm sure it's temporary." Professor Raffalo explains. 

"Do you know what could have done this?" Daphne asks.

"The cocoon looks organic but...I'll have to do further tests." Professor Raffalo says. "The Sheriff okayed this right?" He then asks.

"W..Why of course he did." Fred says nervously. "What did you think we stole a body?" Fred begins to gently shove the gang out of the room. "That's rich." Fred laughs nervously.

"Hmm." Y/n hums looking at cocoon and slowly slicing a piece of with a pocket knife and scraping it into a test tube when professor Raffalo wasn't looking. 

Y/n was walking out of the school when he saw the others standing around the mystery machine. 

"There he is! Y/n over here!" Fred calls out and Y/n looks surprised but he makes his way over to the group.

"We are all going to head down to Fruitmeirs to think things over you want to come?" Fred asks. 

Y/n looks at the group. "You want me to come?" He asks them.

"Yeah we thought since you started helping with the mystery that maybe you'd want to hang out." Daphne says.

"We could always use another person with intelligence." Velma says as she adjusts her glasses slightly.

"Yeah man Fruitmeirs is the best you totally got to try it. Right Scoob?" Shaggy says.

"Reah." Scooby says nodding his head.

Y/n stands taken a back for a moment. In all the years he's been alive he's never had people his own age want to hang around with him and he goes quiet. 

Both Velma and Daphne are surprised to see his quiet reaction and flushed face. This boy who they had only seen sport a serious and composed look even when face to face with a monster and potential dead bodies. He could actually hold a look they could call cute.

"Well alright then...But only if you help me with something." Y/n says and everyone looks at each other. "I need to find somewhere to buy furniture and some new clothes..." Y/n says rubbing the back of his head and shaking off the feeling of being flustered. He had been caught off guard when they said they wanted him to hang out with them. It's was not something he really knew how to do.

Fred begins to laugh and puts his hand on Y/n's shoulder. "Sure we can help with that no problem. Daphne might be better with the clothes than us though." Fred says.

"Just leave it to me!" Daphne says with a confident smile. 

"You moved into the old Harrison estate right?" Velma asks.

"That's right." Y/n says. 

"That place has been empty for a while. You couldn't have picked a more quiet part of town to live in." Velma says and Y/n smiles deeply satisfied to hear that it's a quiet part of town. 

"Well I haven't visited it yet, Maybe you all can visit once we solve this mystery." Y/n suggests and both Scooby and Shaggy hug each other terrified at the idea.  

"Hey that's a great idea we can help you move in." Fred says. "Alright gang let's solve this mystery!" Fred adds.

Y/n and the others were now stood in a line at a place called Fruitmeir's.

A man dressed as a clown suddenly appears while trying balloon animals. "Welcome everyone to Fruitmeirs. Remember it's not Ice cream, It's not Yoghurt. Heck I don't know what it is. Would anyone like a shrimping boat made out of circus balloons?" The clown asks. 

Y/n, Velma, Daphne and Fred are all stood with a cone of Fruitmeirs. The three of them are enjoying their treat while Y/n hesitantly eats his. 

"I don't get all the fuss over...What is this stuff again?" Velma asks.

"You heard Franklin Fruitmeir. It's a secret." Shaggy says as he turns around with Scooby holding what appears to be eight cones in a tray. "That's why they call it..."

"Fruitmeirs!" Shaggy and Scooby say together before they begin to ravish their coned treats. 

Y/n, Daphne, Velma and Fred watch on in disgust. 

"I've suddenly lost my appetite..." Y/n says bluntly.

"As have I..." Velma says just as bluntly. 

The gang all begins to walkout out now. 

"Hey you know if that cocoon turns out to be organic we might have a genuine monster in Crystal Cove." Fred says excited.

"My guess. The Cocoon is a multi-cell mutation. Probably a result of radioed allotropes and free radical implosion. What do you think Shaggy?" Velma asks as she takes a hold of his hand.

"Uhhh...I think I want more Fruitmeirs!" Shaggy says taking his hand out of Velma's and running inside leaving a disappointed Velma.

"Reah me too!" Scooby says running inside after Shaggy.

"Velma...Is there something going on between you and Shaggy?" Daphne asks.

Velma quickly turns around to look at Daphne. "No. Nothing absolutely nothing. Why would anything be going on between me and Shaggy!" Velma says annoyed and she crosses her arms and begins to walk away.

Fred and Daphne look at one another for a moment. 

"Well look's like it's just us. All alone" Daphne says trying to get Fred to be romantic. 

Fred laughs. "Y/n's still here Daphne." Daphne looks to the side and see's that Y/n is indeed still there and is looking away as he feel slightly awkward that he unintentionally ruined the moment. 

"Well what about that pretty locket I found?" Daphne says as the three begin to walk with Y/n trailing behind. "I wonder what it would be like to get such a romantic present." Daphne wonders.

"Oh come on Daphne. You know you don't care about that girly stuff that's why were such good friends." Fred says and Daphne face has a look of complete disappointment.  "I'll drop you at home. I still got to take Y/n to the furniture store. Hop in as well Y/n." Fred says and he starts to walk around the van.

"I'm sorry. I wouldn't have come along if I'd know you wanted some private time with Fred." Y/n says to Daphne feeling like he should apologise. Y/n knew it was not his fault that Daphne is disappointed but he can't help feel bad for her. He opens the van door for Daphne and she get's in.

"Come on you guys I want to get started on a new trap for the monster." Fred says.

"Yeah okay good luck with that.." Daphne says quietly to herself. Fred gets in the van now and just as Daphne moves to the middle so that Y/n can get in he stops and looks to the pavement.

"Something wrong Y/n?" Fred asks.

Y/n eyes look at a drain.  "No...It's nothing." Y/n says and he gets in the van now closing the door behind him.

A pair of glowing eyes appeared in the drain as the Mystery machine takes off.

After a fairly quiet and awkward ride for Y/n and Daphne they arrived at her home. Y/n got out first to let Daphne out.

"Bye Daphne." Fred gave a smile and a wave but Daphne just sighed and have a small wave.

The corner of Y/n's mouth went to the side a little and on impulse an idea popped into his head. "Fred I'll be back in a moment, I'll walk Daphne to the door." Y/n says and the two look at him. "I still need to arrange a day with her to help me get some new clothes." Y/n says and Fred nods. 

"Well alright just don't take to long otherwise the furniture store will close." Fred says in a joking way.

Daphne rubs her arm as she and Y/n walk down the long pathway to Blake's home. Y/n has his hands in his coat pocket as the air remained silent until Y/n decided to speak. 

"I'll try talking to him when we are on the road again." Y/n says and Daphne looks at him with a small smile. She was still disappointed in Fred's dense response but there was no reason to take it out on Y/n so she tried to cheer up.

"Thanks Y/n." Daphne said. "Did you really want me to help you with clothes shopping that much though?" She asked.

Y/n smiles and shakes his head. "No that was just a small ruse to talk with and try cheer you up. I'm just going to but a few more suits like this one. They are more my style." Y/n says as he and Daphne reach the door to the Blake Mansion. 

"Hmm well that's okay but let me choose one outfit. As thanks for trying to cheer me up." Daphne says.

Y/n chuckles. "Well I could always do with a new coat... You pick a day and a time and I'll be there." Y/n says with a smile at Daphne. 

Feeling better Daphne starts to laugh but the sound of the front door opening suddenly stops her.

"Daphne dear is that you..." Blake's mother says and both she and Blake's father's eyes lock on to Y/n.

   "Hello." Y/n says calmly.

"Yes...Hello." Daphne's mother says and Y/n can feel the looks of disapproval coming from Daphne's parent's already.

"I should get going Daphne, Fred's waiting." Y/n said making his excuse to leave.

"Ah yeah okay. Bye Y/n." Daphne says as she give him a wave feeling better than earlier.

"It was a pleasure to meet you." Y/n says and he bows his head respectfully at Daphne's parent's before leaving down the pathway.

Daphne's parents look at one another with concern as they watch Y/n walk down the path and out of sight. 

"Daphne. We need to talk." Her father says.

Y/n and Fred were sat in the mystery machine.

"Hey Fred, Have you ever liked someone?" Y/n suddenly asks him.

"Huh What do you mean? I like everyone in the gang." Fred answers. 

"I meant in a romantic sense Fred." Y/n clarifies.

"Oh. Well no not really. I'm way too busy solving mysteries and making traps." Fred says happily.

"I thought so." Y/n says not even trying to push any further with the topic.

A few moments go by.

"What about you Y/n?" Fred asks.

"Hmm?" Y/n replies.

"You got someone special?" Fred asks.

Y/n looks out the window. "Not anymore." He says.

"What happened?" Fred asks.

"She fell in love with someone else." Y/n says.

"Oh. I'm sorry about that." Fred says not knowing what to say as he pulls into a parking lot.

"It's fine Fred. It's not your fault and I've moved on." Y/n says and he stretches his arms forward then opens the passenger side door and steps out.

"Well here we are! Best furniture store in all of Crystal Cove." Fred says changing the topic.

"I think this the only furniture store in Crystal Cove." Y/n laughs.

Fred then helped Y/n choose a bed for his new place. Y/n had decided to be smart and buy a double sized bed. He didn't know his new places layout and a double would always fit in at least one of the rooms. If he had needed to Y/n would have even accepted a single sized bed, He was not someone who needed luxury to survive. The two men loaded the bed into the back of Fred's van and decided they would come back another day to pick out the rest of the furniture. 

Fred then drove Y/n out to his new place. The old Harrison estate. 

"So why exactly is this place supposed to be haunted?" Y//n asks Fred. 

"You'd have to ask Velma her family are the experts on Crystal Coves haunted history." Fred said admitting he had no idea as he and Y/n lift the bed out of the back of Fred's van.

"Is that so?" Y/n says "Well it doesn't really matter I suppose. I'm not a believer of the supernatural." He adds as they carry the bed to Y/n's new front door. Now seeing it for the first time Y/n can tell that it's been a while since any one has lived here permanently. He fishes his keys out of his pocket and puts on in the lock turning it and giving a gentle push. The door creaks open slowly revealing a very run down house.

Fred whistles. "Boy this looks like it will take a lot of work to fix up." 

Y/n looks around. "You're right. But that can wait for another day. We have that mystery to solve." Y/n says.

"You want a hand setting up?" Fred asks and Y/n shakes his head.

"No I'll be fine Fred. Besides I thought you wanted to get started on a trap." Y/n says reminding Fred.  

"Hey you're right I did!" Fred says getting excited at the prospect of traps. "I'll pick you up tomorrow Y/n. Hopefully I'll have a wonderful trap to show you and the rest of the gang." Fred says and Y/n gives him a small wave as he leaves Y/n all alone now.

Y/n looks around his new empty and destitute looking house. He walked around all the rooms looking for a decent sized one that could fit a bed comfortably. Without to much of a struggle he managed to lift his new bed and brought it to his newly chosen room. Y/n pulled out a pocket knife and cut away the box that was holding all the parts to his bed and set to work on assembling it. It didn't take Y/n long to assemble it at all but he was left with a new problem once he was finished and Y/n groaned at how he could forget something so simple.

"How could I forget to buy a mattress..." He sighs.

It's late at night at the Crystal Cove High school and Professor Raffalo is studying a sample of the cocoon under a microscope. Feeling tired he takes his glasses off and rubs his eyes before returning to the sample. A sudden noise from behind him startles him and he turns around.

"Hello? Someone there?" He calls out. He steps into the doorway only to see the janitor cleaning the school hallway floor. The janitor gives a small wave and the Professor returns to his classroom. 

As the janitor continues to clean the floor he is interrupted when he hears the scream of Professor Raffalo come from the classroom. The janitor quickly drops his broom and rushes to the classroom. The janitor look around the classroom but can't see the Professor anywhere. 

Lying stuck to the ceiling in a fresh cocoon above him however was Professor Raffalo.

It was the next morning and the gang were waiting inside the mystery machine outside of Y/n's new place. 

"Like no way man!" Shaggy said shivering.

"Reah ro way!" Scooby repeats as he and Shaggy hug each other in fear.

"Way to show your masculinity." Velma says slightly unimpressed. 

"Look I'll go get him. Velma can you try cheering up Freddie?" Daphne asks as she looks at a glum looking Fred who is slumped over the wheel with a little sympathy.

"Sure..." Velma says still looking unimpressed at Shaggy and Scooby.

Daphne thanks Velma as she gets out of the mystery machine and begins looking up at the old Harrison estate. Daphne wouldn't deny that this place creeped her out but she was at least braver than Shaggy and Scooby right now.

Slowly walking up the stairs to the door of Y/n's place she pressed the doorbell and heard the loud chimes play as she waits. Daphne can hear the sounds of a groan that she assumes to be Y/n. Soon the door opened but Daphne's composed nature shattered as she looks at Y/n who had just answered the door.

Y/n looked to be half asleep as he stood in the doorway looking at his phone uninterested at who was knocking on his door. "Can I help you?" He asked but his voice sounded deeper and more monotone than usual considering he had only just woken up. 

"Y/n!" Daphne cries out embarrassed.

"Hmm?" Y/n says slowly looking up from his phone but taking a moment to register who is even stood in front of him. "Ah shit sorry Daphne." Y/n says as he looks down at his attire and shuts the door. "I'll get dressed and be down in a moment." Y/n calls from the other side of the door to Daphne who was still stood with red blushed cheeks. 

"Dumbass..." Y/n says to himself for not getting dressed before answering the door. 

Daphne quickly rushes back to the mystery machine and opens the passenger door getting into her seat. 

"That was quick." Velma comments. "Where's Y/n?" She then asks noticing that he's not with Daphne.

"He said he would be down in a moment." Daphne says regaining her composure.

A few minutes go by and Y/n can be spotted exiting his place and walking down the stairs towards the mystery machine. He reaches the van and opens the passenger side door and getting in, He sits himself down beside Daphne who is sat between him and Fred. Y/n and Daphne avoid making eye contact with each other.

"Like how was sleeping in..." Shaggy gulps. "The old Harrison place."

"Uncomfortable." Y/n says and he stretches until he hears a crack. 

"It too haunted for you?" Velma asks with a slight smirk.

"On the contrary no. The lack of a mattress however was a problem." Y/n groans feeling stiff all over. "It must have slipped both mine and Fred's mind when he helped me buy a bed. Speaking of Fred what's up with him? Did his trap planning not work out." Y/n asks.

"Professor Raffalo was found cocooned last night by a janitor." Daphne says and Fred groans. 

"It's okay Freddie we're here for you." Daphne rests her hand on Fred's back to reassure him.

"I see. That's suspicious." Y/n says and his eyes narrow with thought.

"Suspicious?" Velma asks.

"No one but us knew Professor Raffalo was working on the case, So why was he suddenly targeted?" Y/n poses the question and the gang all look at each other. 

"It's possible someone or something is watching us. We should be careful from here on out."  Y/n says.

"Let's just go to the radio station..." Fred says glumly and he starts the mystery machine up. 

The gang were all now sat in the lounge of the K-Ghoul radio station that was run by a woman called Angel Dynamite. Y/n was sat on one of the couches. Fred was sat on the floor still looking glum. 

"It's no use gang, I was the one who stole the body and Professor Raffalo paid the price. I should of listened to my dad and stayed out of any new mysteries." Fred says.

"We all helped steal the body Fred." Velma says.

"Well I never actually..." Shaggy starts but Velma gives him a sharp hit in the ribs.

"Ow! Okay fine yes we all took part Freddie." Shaggy says and Y/n chuckles and the gang look at him.

"You make it sound as if we dug up a grave. From what we know Professor Raffalo confirmed that the person inside the Cocoon is alive and that it should be only a temporary cocoon. Professor Raffalo should be fine." Y/n says standing up now.

"Y/n's right. Fred Jones you've never backed away from a mystery in your life." Daphne says trying to encourage Fred.

"I've got nothing!" Fred says hopelessly. 

"Man up Fred! We still have our first clue the cocoon. I brought a sample..." Velma says but she's distracted by a sound and she turns her head to see Scooby eating the sample she had brought. "Scooby! What are you doing!?" She asks.

"Rwat Rit' Ruitmeirs!" Scooby says his face covered in the green slime. "Yummy!" He goes back to eating the sample. 

"Ugh." Velma says in disgust. 

"Check it out. If that dog mutates I'm putting it down. Dig?" Angel Dynamite says.

"Like hold on I think I get it." Shaggy says as he walks over to Scooby and the sample. He dips his finger in the sample and tastes it.

"Ew..." Everyone says in unison.

"No you guys it's Fruitmeirs! The cocoon is made of the same stuff as Fruitmeir's desert!" Shaggy says confidently. 

"What?" Everyone says confused and walks over to the table with the sample on it. Y/n reaches into his coat pocket and pulls out a test tube holding the sample he had taken from the cocoon himself. The gang all look at him and he opens the test tube bringing it to his mouth before swallowing the contents.

"Well?" Velma asks.

"Shaggy and Scooby are right this is Fruitmeirs." Y/n says.  

"But if the cocoon is made of Fruitmeirs desert..." Daphne starts.

"That means if we can capture the monster we can have our own shop. And we can have an endless supply of Fruitmeirs desert. oh boy..." Shaggy says in fantasy.

"No it means that monster might not be a slime mutant at all." Fred says cheering up.

"Well I thought the chances of that being the case were low to begin with." Y/n says. "We should start looking into the Fruitmeir's establishment and see what comes up." Y/n adds.

"You sound like you have done this before." Velma comments and Y/n looks to the side rubbing the back of his neck.

"Alright gang so what do we know about Franklin Fruitmeir?" Fred asks.

Velma sits down at a computer and begins to type away at a quick pace as everyone gather around. "Franklin Fruitmeir. Showed up in town out of nowhere two months ago. Before that? Nothing. He's hiring right now for female servers." Velma says. 

"Then that's our in." Fred says 

"If the girls can get jobs at Fruitmeir's they can snoop around and find out more." Shaggy says. 

"Great idea Shag." Fred says.

The gang were now stood outside near the Fruitmeir's establishment. Both Scooby and Shaggy were now dressed up in female Fruitmeir uniform's while wearing wigs and makeup. 

Shaggy laughs nervously. "Uh hum. Like eh this isn't what I exactly had in mind. Why am I and Scooby doo dressed like girls? When Velma and Daphne are girls." Shaggy asks.

"Reah! My skirts too tight." Scooby says pulling at his skirt.

"Because Velma and I refused." Daphne says with a smile. Both Shaggy and Scooby don't look happy about it.

Y/n has to hide his laughing and smirking behind his hand. 

"Like why couldn't Y/n and Fred do it then?" Shaggy asks.

"Well I don't really have the body type to pull off a female and Y/n well..."

"How many girls do you see covered in bandages..." Y/n says finishing Fred's sentence. "Besides I don't think I would make a very good female." Y/n says in a joking way and Shaggy shudders at the terrifying concept.

It was now night time. Fred, Y/n, Velma and Daphne were sat in the Mystery machine waiting for Fruitmeirs to close up for the day. 

"How do you think it went?" Fred asks Y/n and the girls.

"Well they haven't come back to the van so it can't be going to bad. Right?" Daphne says.

"I wonder if anyone's been ridiculous enough to try hit on either of them." Velma says.

"Ugh being hit on while working is the worst, that's exactly why I refused to take the job. Isn't that right Freddie?" Daphne says with a smile. 

"Hold on Daph. Look Mr Fruitmeirs leaving." Fred says shutting Daphne down much to her dismay. "Alright lets get ready and remember wait for Scooby and Shaggy's signal." 

"Goodnight Ladies! Don't forget to lock uppp.." Mr Fruitmeir says in a sing song voice.

"Goodnight Mr Fruitmeir." Both Scooby and Shaggy say in girly voices as he leaves the establishment.

A few moments go by and a knock on the window can be heard and Shaggy opens the door for the rest of the gang.

"Alright gang fan out and see if you can find anything that will tie Franklin Fruitmeir to the slime mutant." Fred says and Daphne hands Shaggy his regular clothes to change back into and he does so.

The gang splits up and begins looking all over the place. Fred looks in a small cupboard but finds nothing. Velma opens a draw that only reveals balloons. Y/n was sat looking through a book that details the finances of Fruitmeir's business. 

In another room Daphne tries to open a door but finds it locked as she tries to twist the handle. "Hmm. Must be a key around here somewhere." She says as she walks out of the room. Just as she does Shaggy and Scooby pop out of a now empty vat that had been filled with Fruitmeir's desert. 

"All clear." Scooby says licking his lips. 

"Let's check over there Scoob." Shaggy says pointing to the door Daphne had tried to open moments ago in hopes of more food. Shaggy tries to open the door but like Daphne he finds it's locked. Scooby uses one of his paw's claws to pick the lock and the door becomes unopened. 

Shaggy opens the door and immediately both him and Scooby come face to face with the slime mutant and it roars at them before swiping at them. Luckily Scooby and Shaggy duck underneath the monster's slash. 

"Like Run Scoob!" Shaggy cries as he Scooby flee with the monster chasing after the two.

Daphne returns to the room with a set of keys now but is surprised to see that door is now open. "That's strange." Daphne says as she starts to walk into the room. "This closet was locked a minute ago."  As she enters the closet the door behind her slams shut frightening her. "Hey! What gives!" She tries to open the door again but finds its been locked shut. "Freddie! Help let me out!" Daphne says pounding her fist against the door.  

Fred and Velma rush in with a pair and grab a pair of crowbars that are lying near the door. 

"Daphne hold on." Fred says as he and Velma try to pry the door open and free Daphne. 

"What's going on?" Y/n asks as he walks into the room and see's both Fred and Velma struggling. 

"Daphne's been locked behind this door." Fred explains as he strains. "Damn! This door won't budge at all." 

"Move." Y/n says calmly as he stands in front of the door and removes his hands from his coat pockets. Fred and Velma do as he says and move out of the way and stand beside him. "Okay Daphne can you hear me?" Y/n calls out to Daphne. 

"Y/n? Is that you? Please get me out." Daphne pleads wanting to get out of the closet.

"Listen to me carefully. I want you stand well back from the door, Can you do that for me?" Y/n asks.

Daphne does as Y/n asks and stands back from the door.  "Okay now what?" She asks.

 Y/n lifts his foot and with little effort he kicks the door and it flies open shocking the three. Y/n slowly brings his foot back down and walks into the doorway of the closet. 

"You alright?" He asks Daphne who looks at him still shocked.

"H..How did know how to do that?" She asks. 

"Well this isn't my first breaking and entering if that's what you mean." Y/n says with a small smile to lift the mood. "The trick to kicking a door open is to aim either above or below the lock of the door, That's the weak point." Y/n explains.

Suddenly Scooby and Shaggy run into the room and straight into Y/n and Daphne.

"Are you two insane!" Velma asks Shaggy and Scooby.

"M.M.Monster! L.Like right behind us!" Shaggy says stuttering. Both Fred and Velma look behind them but no monster appears. 

"Monster? There's no monster." Fred says.

"Jinkies! Where's Y/n and Daphne?" Velma asks.

The four of them look to see that both Y/n and Daphne had disappeared. 

"Y/n!? Daphne!?" The four all call out in unison.

"Here! We're down here!" Daphne's voice can be heard calling. 

The four make their way to the back of the closet where they discover a giant hole. Looking down it they can see both Y/n and Daphne. Y/n had been the first to fall through the hole with Daphne following soon after him. Without thinking Y/n had grabbed a hold of Daphne to stop her getting hurt in the fall. Daphne lay with her back leaned against Y/n's torso and his arm rested around her waist. 

"Daphne are you okay?" Y/n asks but then realises he is holding her waist and quickly let's go of it. "Sorry. I just didn't want you to get hurt." He says and he slowly gets up before he offer her his hand to help her up. 

Daphne smiles and take his hand as he helps her up. "Thanks for making sure I didn't get hurt  and for opening the door when I got stuck." Daphne says as she gives Y/n an appreciative smile. 

Y/n knew Daphne probably would have wanted to have been rescued by Fred more but at least she wasn't showing her disappointment if she had any. Y/n dusted his suit and coat down for a moment. "You're welcome." He says and looks around. "You guys might want to get down here." Y/n calls out to the rest of the gang. 

The gang all made their way through the hole to  Y/n and Daphne.

"This is the same cave we were in the other day." Fred says.

"It must run under Fruitmeir's" Velma comments. 

Y/n was stood a couple dozen feet aways from the others look up at a different hole entirely. "That's not all. Someone has been busy digging..." Y/n says now noticing a pile of rubble and shovel.

"Hold on a second." Velma says and she reaches into her pocket pulling out a device and she begins tapping buttons on it. "According to my GPS program this hole is only twenty yards from Fruitmeirs. That would put it..."

"Directly underneath the Crystal Cove Bank!" Everyone says. 

"But dudes why would a slime monster bust a hole in Fruitmeirs to get to a bank?" Shaggy asks.

"Maybe it's hungry." Scooby says.

"Yeah hungry for money." Fred adds.

"I smell a trap coming on." Velma says with a smile.

"A trap?" Y/n asks.

"Yeah it'll be great!" Fred says.

Y/n looks around the cave before he sighs. "Alright. I'll try it your guys way..." 

The slime monster was patrolling near the barrels the gang had discovered the cocooned workers the other day and Fred was currently hidden behind a barrel. The monster walks away a little and Fred chooses now to pop out from behind the barrel. 

"Hey ugly over here!" Fred cries out getting the monster attention. The monster turns around and shoots a batch of slime at Fred who ducks to dodge being hit by it. Fred begins to run and the monster slowly chases after him hurling more batches of slime at Fred but they all miss as Fred makes his way into a crevice of the caves. The monster is about to follow him into it when Velma appears.

"No stupid over here!" She calls out. The monster begins to head in her direction. 

Daphne appears from behind. 

"Wrong again!" She calls out and begins to run away as the monster once again changes it's direction to follow Daphne now. 

Fred makes his way back to Shaggy, Y/n and Scooby who are setting up Fred's trap. 

"Everything set guys?" Fred asks.

"I have my doubts but yes ready." Y/n says.

Daphne soon comes into view with the monster chasing her.

"Now!" Fred says and both Shaggy and Scoob pull a rope that starts a chain reaction of items to fall in sequence at set up a trap. As the trap is in the middle of being set off the monster manages to use it's slime to slip Daphne up and she falls to the ground as she gets up she sees the monster right in front of her. 

Y/n reaches into his coat pocket now ready to pull something out but just as he does an anvil Fred had set up as part of his trap swings down and causes the monster to step back slightly. Daphne uses the opportunity to put some distance between her and the monster.

"This is going to be awesome." Fred says excitedly as he, Y/n, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby move to stand in front of the the monster. A cage moves on a rope and stops high above what appears to be the monster and begins to fall. 

Instead of falling and trapping the monster however the cage falls on the five trapping them. The monster laughs at this misfortune and uses it's slime to keep them in place.

Now covered in slime and stuck in cage Y/n sports an annoyed look "Oh brilliant." He says.

The rest of them struggle as they try to get out of the slime. Daphne however was hiding behind a rock trying to remain unseen. She moves to the side and gasps as she the rest of the gang trapped but when she moves back the monster is there and it startles her. Daphne screams and begins to run.

"Daphne run!" Velma calls out.

Daphne does so and makes it back to the Fruitmeir's hole as she jumps up and manages to grab the hole's edge barely pulling herself up in time before the monster can grab her leg. The monster reaches up grabbing the ledge beginning to pull itself up too. 

"Alright we got to eat through this crap." Y/n says and he starts biting at the slime and Scooby quickly joins him. 

"Of course It's Fruitmeirs!" Fred says and he begins eating only to be joined in by Shaggy and Velma. 

Daphne run's through the Fruitmeir's store and she tries to open the front door but just as she does the monster uses it's slime to shut the door before she can get out. It makes it's way closer to her and stops just in front of her hissing as she squirms. 

Thinking fast Daphne ducks down and crawls between the monster's legs. As she begins running the slime monster shoots a chunk at her legs which become entangled in slime and she falls to the ground. Unable to run Daphne cowers as the monster makes it's way closer to her again. She covers her head with her hands in fear until both she and the monster hear a whistle. They look to the side and see Y/n standing there. 

Y/n gives a smirk and a wink before he says. " Addio..." Y/n says and he moves out the way revealing the rest of the gang who are holding a large hose connected to a Fruitmeir's machine.

"Now!" Fred says and the monster's eyes widen as a large amount of Fruitmeir's suddenly sticks it to the wall. 

 Y/n makes his way over to Daphne and produces a pocket knife before he takes a hold of legs  with one hand lifting them up slightly and he cuts away the slime with the pocket knife before pocketing it. "Nice dodging maneuverer." Y/n says calmly as he set's Daphne's legs down now. Y/n gets up again and stands in front of the monster looking at it. The monster growls at Y/n but he looks back it unimpressed.

Daphne get's up off the floor now and runs to Fred. "Fred you saved me!" She says happy.

"Not now Daphne. I need to figure out why my trap didn't work." Fred says brushing her off.

Y/n just shakes his head at Fred's statement but he says nothing. Daphne looks unimpressed herself.  

The front door to Fruitmeir's now opens. "What is going on here!" The Sheriff asks getting everyone's attention. As they look at him they see the mayor is also with him.

"Why is the town's latest tourist attraction cocooned to the wall?" The mayor asks as he gestures to the slime monster.

"Dad! Sheriff! Hold on you don't understand that is not a monster." Fred explains. 

"Oh hopping steam clams Fred. Then who is it?" The mayor asks his son annoyed.

"Franklin Fruitmeir!" The gang all say except for Y/n who tilts his head to the side grimacing a little at their deduction. 

"He was trying to rob Crystal Cove bank." Velma says. 

"Actually guys this isn't Mr Fruitmeir..." Y/n says feeling a little awkward and the gang look at him.

"The Y/n kid is right. Franklin Fruitmeir is the one who called us. " The sheriff says and Mr Fruitmeir walks into the store.

"What!?" The gang say shocked. 

"I was making a clipper ship out of circus balloons when the silent alarm rang at my home." Franklin Fruitmeir says and he exclaims when he turns to see the monster still struggling against the wall.  "Oh good gracious what is that?" He asks.

"But dude if you're not the monster then who is?" Shaggy asks confused.

"Maybe I should explain. Or would you like to Professor Raffalo?" Y/n asks as he pulls the mask of the monster revealing Professor Raffalo.

"Professor Emanuel Raffalo?" The gang says shocked.

"That's right! I was trying to scare people away from the sewers while I dug my way into the bank and got rich!" The professor says.

"But you've got a job as a teacher. Why do you need more money?" Daphne asks.

Both Y/n and the Professor look at the gang for a moment before the gang remembers how underpaid teachers really are and awkwardly apologise. 

"I discovered that the Crystal Cove caves were connected to the sewer by accident while collecting mould spores for my class. Once I realised the cave led right under the bank I put my plan into motion. Fruitmeirs gave me secret access to the sewer so I decided to frame balloon boy for the crime by using his disgusting desert. I staged my own disappearance to throw off any suspicion of my involvement. It was fool proof! Genius!" Professor Raffalo says as he is now being cuffed. "That was until you...you..."

"Meddling" The Sheriff says.

"Yes! Meddling kids and your blasted dog ruined everything." 

"Wait. What about this locket we found when you were digging?" Daphne asks as she shows off the locket. The Mayor looks at it a little taken aback but then he frowns.

"Never seen it before." Professor Raffalo says as he is led away. 

"Alright well I guess we owe you kids thanks for saving the bank...Although you also lost the town a serious revenue stream! Stream of revenue!" The sheriff says. Y/n pinches the bridge of his nose having had enough for one day.

The gang were now all back at the K-Ghoul station. Shaggy and Scooby were playing some records while Velma was sorting them. Fred and Y/n were enjoying the tunes. But out of the corner of Y/n's eyes he could see Daphne sat down looking disappointed as she holds the locket up. 

 Y/n moves and sits down next to Daphne but she keeps looking at the locket. 

"You okay Daphne?" Y/n asks her.

"I just don't get it. If this locket didn't belong to professor Raffalo then who?" Daphne says.

"You sure it's just the locket that's on your mind?" Y/n asks and he see's Daphne look at Fred for a moment before she sighs.

"I did try talking to him yesterday." Y/n says and Daphne looks at him. "I think dense is the kindest word I can use." Y/n says. "About the locket, You guys will get it the bottom of it I'm sure. That what you do right? Solve mysteries." Y/n says changing the topic now.

"You says that like you aren't one of us." Daphne says and she looks at Y/n.

"Well I'm not really am I?" Y/n says as he looks at the others.

In a moment of impulse Daphne stands up. "Freddie. I think we should let Y/n join the team." She says surprising everyone including Y/n.

Fred looks at Y/n for a moment. "Daphne... That's a great idea!" Fred says. "Any objections guys?" Fred asks.

"Like none here man." Shaggy says.

"Ruh uh." Scooby says.

"It's fine with me." Velma says.

"How about it then Y/n up for more mysteries?" Fred asks him.

Y/n begins to laugh before he gives out a big smile. 

"If you'll have me." Y/n says.

"It's settled then!" Fred says.

Fred gets everyone together and they have a group highfive.

"So Y/n how did you work out it was Professor Raffalo? Even I was certain it was Franklin Fruitmeir." Velma asks.

"Ah that was quite simple actually. When we were looking for clues at Fruitmeir's I came across the financial records. He may look like a clown but Mr Frutimeir's business is actually doing very well, He had no real motive to rob the bank. Professor Raffalo was the only person who knew we had visited him with the cocoon so for him to then be suddenly attacked was what made me suspicious. Professor Raffalo wrongly assumed that other people knew he was working on the sample and things just began to fall into place." Y/n explains.

"Incredible." Velma says impressed with Y/n's deduction skills.  

Fred laughs. "The monsters of Crystal Cove better watch out because were on the case."

Suddenly the radio station's phone rings. Shaggy sits down in a chair and presses a button that answers the phone before he rests his legs on the desk the phone was sat on. 

"Like K-ghoul 101.4 what can we scare up for you daddy-o?" Shaggy asks.

"You're all doomed..." A menacing voice says on the other end of the phone and it gets everyone's attention.

"L..Like who..Like who is this?" Shaggy asks nervously as everyone crowds round the phone to listen in now. 

"You can call me Mr E. You should never have brought that locket out of the cave. You don't know what you've uncovered." Mr E says warning them. 

"Uncovered? Uncovered what?" Daphne asks.

"A truth. That should have remained hidden. The truth behind the cure of Crystal Cove! The real mystery has just begun." Mr E says before he hangs up.

The gang look a little uneasy now but Y/n leans against a desk. "As far as threats go this is actually not the worst I've received." He says calmly.

"Like what is then?" Shaggy asks.

"I couldn't say with Velma and Daphne in the room." Y/n chuckles. "For now let's enjoy the moment. We've solved the Slime mutant case. Mr E can wait for today." Y/n says and everyone's mood picks back up. 

And that's the chapter! I hope you all have enjoyed this first full chapter of The Mystery within! It's actually been interesting and challenging to write ways that Y/n's character as I plan to give him some proper development as the story continues :) If you liked this chapter then please don't forget to vote and leave a comment and I shall see you all in the next chapter...
