Hey, Velma?
Are you available or is this a bad time?
And please don’t tell me that you are too busy reading about nerdy stuff
You always are
Sorry Daph, V is asleep.
This is Marcie by the way.
Oh
Hi Marcie
Why is Velma asleep?
Oh
OHHH!
Did you guys have a really good night sleep?
;)
What?
NO!
I mean, not that way
We just spent a bit of time cuddling until late last night. She’s just tuckered out.
Aww
You make it sound like she’s like a little kid
Well, she is adorable
Mmm
Looking at her sleep aren't you?
That is none of your business.
But, yes.
Kind of difficult considering it's our honeymoon.
Well, when my best friend just married to you, then it makes it my business.
Speaking of which
How’s the honey moon treating you?
Besides the obvious cuddling, kissing and all the good nights you and Velma most certainly had
Okay, first and foremost, I will not speak without Velma’s permission on our personal and PRIVATE matters.
Party pooper
Maybe I am.
But if you must really know
It is Really Good
Oh
Nice
So care to share so details?
Nope.
As I said, I need my wife’s permission.
Sorry Daph.
Pity.
So, about that newlywed life?
Okay
Fine
Any specifics?
Start with the obvious
How’s Canada? What did you do on your first day? Do they have a good fashion sense over there?
Have you seen a moose?
Wow
Okay, I’ll answer in order then
Canada is a wonderful place to have a honeymoon this time of the year.
We strolled around the city, took pictures, ate in some fancy places and then finished off the day in our hotel room.
My my, sweeping a girl of her feet aren’t you Miss Dinkley-Fleach
I aim to please
I’ll have to ask Velma about that later on
Okay, moving on.
As for fashion sense, I am positive the answer is yes
however I must argue that my own fashion eye is not as keen as yours.
And no, we have not seen a moose.
How about you guys back in the States? Anything happening in our absence?
Nothing much really. Which I must add is a good thing for me.
Why?
No mysteries means no Freddy running around like a headless chicken
Which means I get a lot of spare time with my fiancé
A lot of wonderful spare time if you get my meaning
Unfortunately, I must regret admitting I do
Is that why you are so… curious about Velma and I’s privy matters?
No actually
I’m just curious as to how active a certain friend of mine is when she has had a proper long lasting relationship
Gee, thanks
Consider yourself lucky Marcie
Managing to woo arguably the second most valuable member of the gang is no easy feat
Second? Who’s the first? Let me guess, Freddy?
Nope. Scooby actually.
Huh.
Okay, I can admit defeat to that one
How’s everyone else over there?
Well, I spoke to Shaggy yesterday
Apparently he is taking Scooby to the vet
Which means nothing good will come from it
Glad we are away from the disaster zone
Don’t worry, your time will come
Besides that, Madelyn is taking Shaggy and Scooby down to your amusement park later on
I’ll be sure to warn my dad to have the food stands stock up
May I ask how is V’s mom?
She’s been calling us every day
Don’t worry about her Marcie
Mrs Dinkley is just being really nosy like always
She keeps pestering me to send her pictures of you and Velma’s honeymoon
Unfortunately I have none
Well
Would you like me to send you one
My my
I wonder what kind of picture you’ll have on your phone
Do you want the picture or not?
Fine
Yes if you’d please
Wait, why not send it yourself to her?
I would however V’s mom is very particular about not being able to open up the messenger app
She says it has to do with how small the icon is
Ah
Old age attacks once again
I wouldn’t put it a blunt as that but I suppose that is the best way to surmise the point
Regardless, I think Velma trusts you more than her to keep the picture private
Otherwise she might publicize the image on Crystal Cove newspaper
Fair point
Well, fire away
You two look so cute together
Thanks
Means a lot to me actually
No problem :)
Where is this?
A local Park near the stadium we were at
We managed to buy a pair of tickets to the hockey game that day
After we bought a few souvenirs, we got an autograph and then walked around the city
So romantic
Jealous
Maybe
But I still think spending time with my Freddy and his traps is romantic in its own weird way
I hardly doubt it
Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it
Enough about me
Tell me, what else did you two do?
The usual I guess
I’ll be the judge of that
Tell me, did you take her to a beautiful tree in the midnight with all those fairy lights
And kissed her beneath it?
Maybe spend the night after getting “acquainted”
Marcie?
You’re not answering
OMG!!!
You did!
You’re not answering so that means I guessed right
You are so in love with Velma you must have looked at every romantic movie I told you about.
Now wonder you were so eager to research my mom's movie collection.
Am I right or not?
Marcie?
You must be blushing red right now
I wish I could have been there to see it myself
Maybe you’ll do it again
Perhaps some time when its raining
And you two are looking at each other, leaning in closer
Until finally you two kiss
AWWW!!!
STOP!
...
OK
What if I did
How else was I to please my wife if not by giving her a proper romantic date?
Wouldn’t you want Fred to do the same for you
Low blow Ms. Dinkley-Fleach
But yes
It would be nice for him to do something like that every now and then
Now that we have established everything, what else are you planning?
Nothing I can tell you by text on V’s phone
Oops, right, forgot you were using her phone
Actually, care to send me a picture of you two love birds
Promise with scout’s honor to keep the picture from lingering eyes
Please?!
Only because I trust you more than everyone else but Scooby
And because I wish to be selfish and show off my prize
Prize?
Tell me, did you win it at a science fair?
>:)
You know I could still refrain from sending you any further updates about our honeymoon right?
Blackmailing me already? My my
I must have touched a nerve
Nope, just my pride
And no, I did not win V at a science fair
I won her heart fair and square with care and love
It just happened to be during the Science Fair
My point still stands
Aww
Quickly send me that picture
Now I really want to see you two lovebirds in your natural habitat
Jealous much
Very
And by the by, you two are a perfect match for each other
Thanks
It means a lot coming from you
Don’t mention it.
I’ll leave you two to continue cuddling and whatever you girls like to do.
More likely solve for pies or maybe make rockets in your spare time
Or perhaps something more sinister like take over the world
Still, let’s talk when you are less busy with someone else, shall we?
Of course
And on our respective phones
Also, I don’t need to take over the world
Claiming V all myself is victory enough
That’s it
This conversation oozes too much teeth-rotting sweetness for one day
Bye Marcie
And say hello to your bed partner for me, okay?
Will do Daph
Take care
Also, my inside sources tell me there is Trapper’s meeting just outside Gatorsburg
Word of caution: the weather is supposedly terrible that they might cancel
The hotels are quite lovely outside Gatorsburg
If you catch my drift
Marcie Dinkley-Fleach, you really are a genius
Good night and have fun
Later Daph
You too
