Question:: Anyone know what this Scooby-Doo: Abracadabra-Doo is about? The cover shows a magic show type thing, and it seems to imply Shaggy attempts a magic act and it goes bad or something. Anyone have the scoop?

Chapter 5

The Christmas Yeti

Velma sat angrily putting some presents under the tree, Daphne fighting back a giggle. Their conversation hadn't gotten far before Velma had began ignoring her comments and began checking gifts. It had all been rather quizzical, causing Velma to roll her eyes a lot, but at the mention of the Verona comment, Velma had tuned her out.

"Come on, Velma. I was just saying, you did get pretty defensive when Shaggy complemented about her smarts ..."

"I would have had the same reaction if any of you had said it," sighed Velma, though she could tell Daphne wasn't convinced, "We're just friends. So stop playing matchmaker. Just because you and Fred are finally a couple, doesn't mean you must now hook everyone up around you."

"But..."

"No more, drop the subject Daphne." Velma rolled her eyes

"Velm..."

"I said no, Daph..." Velma was cut off as the door burst open and a loud roar erupted from the snow.

The women, Laura, sprang up at the sound and let out an ear splitting scream as the creature advanced on her. Velma looked around and quickly grabbed the hot pot from the stove and tossed it on the snow creature. It let out a shrill yell and fell back. Daphne grabbed hold of Laura and booked it out the door. The creature was still yelling as they ran through the snow, running right into Scooby and the guys.

"You girls okay?" asked Fred, as they all stood back up.

"Yeah," said Daphne, "Velma through some hot soup on it, and we got passed it."

Near dusk the next day, a women in a blue snow jacket ran through the snow banks as the large yeti chased after her. She ran into the cabin with a yell, and the yeti slid through the doorway. A tarp flew over it, as Shaggy, Fred, Velma, and Scooby pulled it tight.

"Great idea to use the firewood tarp, Fred." said Daphne, pulling off Laura's blue jacket as she came in from outside.

"Now let's see who this yeti is?" asked Fred, yanking off the large mask.

"Rick!" yelled Laura as a man grumbled looking at the ground.

"Okay, you have to fill us in, because we have no idea what's going on." said Daphne.

"Ex-husband?" Velma took a stab at it.

"Looks like the authorities are here," said Fred, as he opened the door.

"You no good, for nothing, loser! Where are my children!" yelled Laura, hitting him with a pillow.

"Their off at a private cabin with Zoey...." he was hit again.

"What's going on now?" asked the police officer.

"From what we got, and by their actions. Looks like her ex-husband set up the yeti thing, to take back the kids, and get rid of her..." said Fred.

"And, their at another cabin with his mistress or something," finished Velma.

"Very well, we'll take it from here," said the police officer, putting handcuffs on the man, "You kids have a Merry Christmas."

Barely an hour later, the gang sat around the now peaceful cabin. It wouldn't be too long till christmas now, and everyones spirits where a little out of place after the situation that happened earlier. Fred hung the last ornament on the tree and collapsed in the chair in front of it. It took up a good portion of the cabin space, completely blocking his view into the kitchen. He was about to get up when Daphne came walking over with hot cocoa for the both of them, and cuddled up to him.

"Someone's cheerful," chuckled Fred, his cheeks turing a light shade of pink.

"I think I'm getting to Velma... anyways, it's just nice to have some peaceful holiday time with everyone."

"I support it," smiled Fred, wrapping an arm around her waist as she kissed him gently.

"Support what?" chuckled Daphne.

"Your plan," Fred rolled his eyes.

"... you mean..."

"I'm in..." he was cut off as she gave him another kiss.

"This is great, so have any plans?" asked Daphne pulling away.

"I can think of a few not pertaining to operation Shelma.... by the way... what's our name?" asked Fred, brushing her hair out of his face.

"Don't have one yet," she giggled, as he kissed her lips gently.

Shaggy looked at Fred and Daphne. They sat in the far corner on the other side of the tree, barely visible, he smiled. He looked at the door frame towards the kitchen, mistletoe hanging dead center. Velma was looking at a recipe book, determined to make corn muffins for the dinner tonight. She looked at Shaggy and then back at the book. The small glance told him she was thinking about asking him a question about the recipe. Shaggy pushed Scooby's head off his lap gingerly and got up. He slowed, Velma was walking towards him as well, still looking at the book, she hadn't noticed he'd gotten up. Shaggy looked upwards and picked up his pace, normally he was never this calculating.

"Hey Shag...." Velma's eyes shot open as Shaggy gave her a quick kiss.

"Yeah?" asked Shaggy, as if nothing had happened, in fact Velma began to wonder after a second, if it had happened at all.

"I.... I ohm, the cornbread recipe, should I do the honey glaze?" asked Velma as they walked into the kitchen.

"like, I usually make my own special sauce...." his voice trailed off as they went into the kitchen.

Scooby opened one eye from where he lay on the couch, looking towards the kitchen. Shaggy and Velma where getting out spices from their cooking bag that traveled on the road with them. Scooby snickered as he looked at the mistletoe, and he pulled out Shaggy's green camera from the cushions, and pushed to back button. A picture of the mistletoe kiss popped up on screen, he let out another laugh.

"Rooby-Rooby-Roo. Rarry Rhistmas!" he winked.
