Chapter 4 - chapter 3 part 2

Jade was not usually nervous in fact fear and the likes of it were foreign to her. The only thing that would cause fear to enter her heart was her sister or Shaggy getting hurt and now Sugi and Silver. The last two had warmed their way into her heart. However at this point she was nervous very nervous now why do you ask.

The answer was Stacy Rogers for tonight Jade and Shaggy were going to have dinner with her. Shaggy had called his mom the day after he asked Jade to marry him and her answering yes. Stacy told him he wanted them both over for dinner and Ruby, Sugi and Silver were invited as well. So Shaggy got permission from Silver's mom to take her.

The young snake girl's mom trusted Shaggy so she agreed to allow her daughter to go. Stacy wanted to meet her daughter's other best friend. Stacy was very cool and accepting of the fact that her son was a werewolf and engaged to a vampire. She was also ok with the fact that her daughter was a witch.

She understood how her son became a werewolf it made sense in a twisted sort of way. She did not understand how her daughter was a witch that made no sense to her at all however she did not care. Shaggy and Sugi were her children and that was all that mattered to her. Stacy had a lot of time to think about Jade.

Now she had only talked to Jade for a few hours and knew little about her in comparison to Velma who she knew longer and talked with longer may of the talks annoyed Stacy. However Stacy liked Jade far better than Velma. Now sadly that was not saying much since Stacy did not like Velma much at all. Now she liked Velma as a person just not as a future daughter in law. She had been hoping the relationship between Shaggy and Velma would not last. She did not want it to end that way it did however.

However Stacy liked Jade better and would be glad to welcome Jade to the family. To Stacy Jade was kind and caring and had compassion the likes of which was rare in this day and age. Jade was smart as smart as Velma but unlike Velma Jade did not have the attitude that she was better than everyone else. Nor did she show off either.

Plus Jade was far more beautiful then Velma now on that note Stacy knew she would have pretty grandkids and that made her happy. She also did not care about the beauty part. Jade had explained that part to her and the kids. That night Jade told Stacy all the ins and outs of being a vampire. Some of the things freaked her out. Jade did admit that she took some of Shaggy's blood and found it very enjoyable she went into great details about it.

That was something else Stacy liked about Jade she was honest and upfront and also able to joke with people. She told Stacy that harming her loved ones would result in her going what she called crazy vampire mode which was not pleasant. She even told Stacy about her past with her ex. The whole blood thing freaked her out a lot but she was ok with it after some time and thinking.

Stacy liked Jade for one other reason and that was a simple one. Jade had brought Shaggy out of his shell after Velma's actions. Jade made Shaggy well Shaggy again and for that Stacy was grateful. Stacy could tell that Jade loved Shaggy and that was all that mattered.

Stacy was putting the finishing touches on the pasta and she made sure to have garlic. Jade really loved garlic and that surprised Stacy. That was one thing that shocked her. She discovered that many of the myths about vampires were false. Sunlight did not harm Jade unless she was in It for a long time, holy water only got her wet, a cross did nothing, she ate garlic a lot. A wooden stake through the heart could kill her Jade did say.

She also pointed out that so could a gun or having her head chopped off. She finished up the explanation like this.

"I am like a human the only difference is once a year I need human blood or else I will get weak and could die. I have great strength and speed and beauty." So Stacy made sure she had extra garlic for the two vampires that would be there.

Sugi had been emailing her about her friends and both of them sounded like a lot of fun. She had no more time to think since there is a knock on the door. When she opens that door she sees her children and Jade. She sees a little girl with the same hair color as Jade with brown eyes and a girl with black hair.

She guessed correctly that the red head was Ruby and the black haired one was Silver. Stacy was right which proved that Shaggy got his detective skills form not only his father. Ruby and Silver were a little weary at first of meeting Stacy. The girls at the school did not have many good experiences with mortals.

Silver and Sugi had their mothers but that was not enough other humans had tried to hurt them. .Sugi also had her brother until he was transformed. Ruby had no human contact expect for Jade's former friends. Ruby was unsure of them at the time and she was furious when her sister was hurt by them. However Silver and Ruby respected Shaggy and Sugi so they would trust Stacy. In their minds if she raised Shaggy and Sugi then she was ok.

The point was proven when Stacy told Silver it was ok for her to show her true form. Silver was a little scared but a smile form Shaggy put her at ease. So she dropped the spell she was under. She stood on two legs but had the body and tail of a snake. She was a silver color which is why she was given the name of Silver.

Stacy smiled and commented on how beautiful Silver was. Stacy was not at all freaked out by Silver. When asked why she had this to respond to.

"My son is a werewolf and engaged to a vampire, my daughter is a witch her best friends are a vampire and snake. So it is normal to me." Silver smiled and hugged Stacy this action took her by surprise but she gladly returned the hug.

Afterwards food was served and it was a fun meal. Stacy noticed that Jade the whole time was nervous. It was getting late and the girls had all fallen asleep so all that were awake were Stacy, Shaggy and Jade. Stacy asked the question that had been bugging her and this was not about Jade she would ask later about Jade.

"Why are Silver and Ruby so scared? It makes no sense Silver was raised by her human mother." Shaggy sighed unsure of how he should answer. Jade snuggled up to him since they were on the couch. That was the sign that he should be honest. How he knew that was the sign was unclear he just did he never tried to figure it out it just made sense.

"Mom you need to understand all of the girls minus Sugi have had bad experiences with humans. Silver's mom and you are the expectation with most of the girls. Most parent they when they discover their kid is a monster they beat them and force them on the streets. Many are killed due to that reason. To them humans want to kill them. We are unsure how girls like Sugi become monsters but we know it happens."

Stacy was unsure about how to take this in. She wanted to help out she did not know how to do it. She put it in the back of her mind to ask later right now she needed to talk to Jade.

"So Jade why have you been nervous around me?"

"I am sacred you will make Shaggy leave me and I do not want to lose him." Jade answered and Shaggy pulled her into a hug and held her tighter. Shaggy whispered into her ear that was never going to happen until they both died. This relaxed Jade a little bit.

"Last time I was here I was helping Sugi but it has been several months so I am worried." Jade said but with less fear in her voice.

"You need not worry for I like you Jade I really like you and I think you are perfect for my son. I can see the love in your eyes the love you both have for each other. Also you are much better then Velma. You are not arrogant like she is." Stacy said which caused Jade to smile very brightly.

The rest of the night went like that talking close to ten Shaggy and Jade picked up the girls and teleported to the school. That night as they were in bed cuddling and Shaggy was stroking her hair he spoke.

"I told you she would accept you." Jade cuddled deeper for never had she felt this warmth and love before expect with her parents.

"I know but I can still be nervous." A kiss was shared and they fell asleep

It had been about a month since the dinner with Stacy. The wedding was set for four months in the summer. It was when Jade wanted to get married and Shaggy went along with it since he wanted his soon to be wife happy since that was all that mattered to him. Right now the couple was in the nearby city. By nearby I mean 20 miles from the school.

Supplies were needed for the school and Jade and Shaggy offered to go and get them. It gave them an excuse to grab dinner alone and spend alone time. All of the girls at the school knew about the marriage they were invited to the wedding but the couple still kept their relationship to their bedroom or outside the school. So being out of the school alone where they could be a couple was wonderful for them.

Now usually the trip was very uneventful however the higher powers must have been bored for that trip something happened. Jade and Shaggy were walking hand in hand together. That was one thing that had changed at the school. They would walk hand in hand all the girls and the staff found it cute. By the way all of the staff members were invited to the wedding. All of them as little sisters to Shaggy approved of Jade.

As the couple was walking Shaggy noticed that Jade started to get tense really and he meant really tense. She put her head on his chest and Shaggy knew what she was asking so her pulled her closer to him. She started to calm down but she was on the edge of tension.

"Remember the Alamo." Jade said and Shaggy knew what she meant. She was telling him trouble was around and asking him to let her handle things unless it was getting out of hand. Shaggy knew that Jade's old friends were nearby or at least her ex boyfriend. After Texas and after they got engaged they vowed to never spare anyone that attempted to harm them again.

The reason being Sugi was nearly killed due to that and they were not going to allow that. So if someone wanted to harm them they may go after Shaggy or Jade's family and that was not cool. Someday they wanted children and no one was going to harm their children. A mother bear had nothing on Jade you can ask Ruby for she had seen Jade go what she called scary vampire mode when Ruby was in danger.

The two walked out of the town and to a hill. They knew three people had followed them. They wanted to lure them outside to prevent innocent ones form suffering or being caught in the crossfire. Plus the forest which was nearby was there home and they felt stronger near it. Jade and Shaggy stopped and turned around. Standing before them were three humans one female and two males.

The female had black hair and blue eyes the male she was next two had black hair and green eyes. The last male had blonde hair and blue eyes. Of the two males the last one was very handsome and Shaggy knew he was Jade's ex boyfriend.

"Well my three former friends to what do I owe this visit? By the way Shaggy the female that is Lucy, the black haired one is Joe and the last one is Steve." Jade looked claim and it fooled her former friends but not Shaggy. Before Lucy, Steve and Joe could say anything Shaggy spoke.

"Well I must say Steve is a very handsome man I can see what you said about him. He is very handsome I wonder how he got to be that handsome."

"You have no right speaking about me monster?" Steve said.

"Look everyone I am in a great mood Shaggy and I are getting married in a few months and I would like to enjoy spending time with him. Before you try anything yes he knows I am a vampire and it does not matter to him. Out of respect I will let you three walk away this once I know that is stupid but I am being nice."

She had to take a pause before she spoke again. When she did her voice was quite but deadly non the less.

"If you refuse to walk away or you come after me or my family I will kill you end of story."

Jade and Shaggy made ready to leave but a few words were spoken that made Jade really mad. She had entered scary vampire mode as Ruby would say.

"I think we should visit Ruby and have some fun before we kill her." He never finished his statement for a clawed hand was stabbed in his heart killing Steve. Unlike Shaggy's friends he had no remorse or regret part of the reason being he may have not had time to he was dead before Jade removed her hand.

Joe pulled out a cross and held it in front of Jade. Jade pretended to be hurt by the cross. Joe thinking he had won advanced towards Jade. When Joe least expected it Jade charged him and ended him like she did Steve. Like Steve he had no remorse or regret. His lack of time it was unclear if that was the reason.

"Lucy I suggest you run since I know you would never harm another. I warn you come near me or my sister or my family I will kill you. We were friends once but you are a threat. My sister says I have what she calls scary vampire mode when my loved ones are in danger. I will gladly entered that mode if pushed that far." Jade said.

"I understand Jade I wish you luck in life and congrats on your upcoming marriage. I never said this before since Joe and Steve stopped me. Thank you for saving my life. You were my best friend and I do not care if you are a vampire. I wish you luck and hope we can be friends once more." She ran off after that. However she stopped.

"Jade I really want my friend back I want my sister back. I know it is a very slim hope but I can and will still hope that you will forgive me and want to be friends once more. Shaggy do not hurt her and you know how to find me should you want to." Lucy walked away after that.

Jade using a match burnt the bodies of her former friends. She did not want to bury them properly. She felt that they had not earned that right. Jade kissed Shaggy and teleported home. She needed time to herself. So Shaggy finished the shopping by himself. He was heading to the forest to teleport home when he got a scent.

"You know Lucy you are not a good ninja. I knew you were following me for the least few hours. What is it you need?" Lucy steps out and hands Shaggy a note.

"Please give this to Jade for me. I also wanted to see who you were as a person and see the one that won her heart." Shaggy promised her that he would give the letter and left via teleportation. Shaggy got to the school and put all the supplies in there correct spots.

He checked in with Sibella and then used the mental link that was created between himself and Jade or at least he would have if Jade did not speak to him first. She asked him to come and hold her. So Shaggy did just that and she grabbed on to him with a death a grip.

She then broke down crying hard. She had killed before but killing people you grew up with and were friends with was hard no matter what even if said former friends tired to kill you. She had no idea how Shaggy was able to do it without crying or breaking down. The answer was he had her and that was enough to help him. He also had his little sister in his arms that night.

"I will always love you my princess and nothing will stop that. Lucy asked me to give this to you. if you want I can leave." She took the letter and Shaggy got up to leave the room. Jade did not like that she pulled him back and begged with her eyes for him to not let her go.

"Jade I am sorry that I hurt you. You are my best friend and the person that did so much for me. If not for you Jade I would not be who I am. I do not fear you or hate you. I wish I had the courage to tell you that sooner but I did not. Please forgive me and I hope to have my best friend and sister back someday. With love and respect Lucy."

Jade was crying at this point but there was more in the letter so she finished.

"P.S. I think you found a great man I can sense his power and his love for you. In fact I can understand why you love him and I am a little jealously. I can see the unconditional love he has for you in his eyes. Here I am talking about boy or man troubles o well till next we meet even if we never next meet."

Shaggy offered to leave so she could gather her thoughts. In response she clung to him tighter and begged him not to leave. This broke Shaggy's heart so he held on to her. After about an hour Jade spoke.

"What do I do about Lucy? What should I do about Lucy?" She asked. She had no idea what to do. She knew what she wanted but she wanted Shaggy's thoughts on the subject.

"I think you should follow your heart. She means what she says. She wants her best friend back. What you do is up to you. Whatever you chose to do I will support you 100 percent."

"I want to give her a chance but I am not sure she should be at the wedding. I am still afraid it may be a trick. I know it is not a trick but I am still worried about it." All night Shaggy held her.

Jade was standing outside of Lucy's house it was the day after she killed her two former guy friends. Shaggy was with her since she did not want to speak to Lucy alone. Shaggy was not being overprotective if Jade had told him she wanted to do it alone he would have not stopped her. He would have stayed behind.

Lucy was scared of meeting her friend once more. She did not know what Jade was planning. Lucy knew Jade would fight anyone that aimed to harm her important people. The others promised to kill Ruby and Lucy feared Jade might think she was aiming to do that. Lucy was not out of all of Jades friends Lucy was the only one Ruby did not outright fear.

Her other friends Ruby would not speak to. For Lucy Ruby did talk to her a little bit not much but still it was a start. So Lucy opened her door to see Jade and Shaggy. Shaggy has no readable expression on his face. He only has the look that means hurt her and I will hurt you worse.

Lucy's first impression of Shaggy was he was nothing special. However she remembered that Jade did not fall in love easily. It took time for her to fall in love. So Lucy figured there had to be something special about Shaggy. He had a claim personality but could and would end any that threatened his important people. This she could tell right away.

Lucy guessed that Shaggy was also a monster or he was human but did not care that Jade was a vampire. Lucy was not expecting what happened to happen but her once friend pulled her into a hug. The two started to cry softly and after about an hour of crying words were spoken.

"Lucy I want to be your friend again but I am worried. I am a vampire and many have tried to kill me over the years. A few have tried to kill Ruby. Someday I will have children and I do not want them to be hurt."

Jade had to take a pause she was starting to lose it.

"So one wrong move and I will kill you. This may be harsh but Shaggy spared the lives of ones that tried to kill him. A year later they tried to kill his sister. So we will not be nice anymore. If you can handle that we can be friends once more." Once more she had to pause.

"If you can't I will leave and you will never see me again." She let go of Lucy since she was holding her the whole time. She then went to Shaggy and his arms. He pulled her into a hug. They both sat down on the couch and she rested her head on his chest. Shaggy started to stroke her hair gently.

"Jade you are my best friend and like my sister. You have been there for me most of my life. I would not be me if you had not taken the time to help me. So yes I can and will support this I will not tell anyone and I will be you loyal friend once more." Lucy spoke with all the conviction she had in her heart.

From there the two friends talked. Shaggy held onto Jade since she made it known that she did not want him letting her go. She was happy but still nervous. She wanted to trust Lucy but she was weary of trusting. She now understood the saying a paper once winkled can never be perfect again. You can try to smooth it out but it will not ever be perfect.

The same with the paper applies to the idea of trust. Once it is broken it can never be repaired to the same degree. Now Jade may trust Lucy now and it would grow stronger but the same level of trust that existed between the two will never be the same. It was sad since Lucy really was not at fault but that was the way life worked.

Shaggy was smiling happy to see Jade so at ease. He had been quite the whole time which slightly unnerved Lucy and by slight the author means a lot. It very much unnerved her. She wondered if the guy talked at all. He was not even looking at her he was just holding Jade and stroking her hair. Jade was so relaxed and happy.

After about an hour Lucy asked a question that Jade knew was going to be asked. However that did not make it easier for her to answer it.

"Can I come to your wedding?" She asked with hope filled eyes.

"I would like you there but I am not sure if you can be there. I have to ask the place we are having it does not like many humans being there the only human right now is Shaggy's mom." She took a pause and held up her hand to stall her friend form talking.

"We both work at a school full of ghouls or monster girls like us. All of the girl's distrust humans with the exception of one maybe two. So for you to be there it will not be well with the girls. It may scare them and might cause them to attack you."

"Someday we hope to have a world were monsters and humans can live in peace but sadly that day is a long way off." Shaggy spoke for the first time. The rest of the day was spent relaxing. Shaggy made dinner while the two friends just talked. He was happy that Jade had her friend back once again. The dinner was eaten and enjoyed.

Lucy made a comment about Jade was lucky to have someone that cocked so well. Since for the most part Jade could not cook very well. She was able to make something's but not a lot. She was not good at making pasta sadly which was her favorite food and her little sisters. Afterwards they left and before they did Shaggy spoke.

"Lucy if you hurt her again or hurt my family I will end you. I ended the lives of my three friends when they kidnapped my sister so do not think I will not do it." Lucy was nervous but she spoke with conviction.

"I understand and I will not do that again. I will no longer be a coward." Shaggy smiled it was a warm smile but one that promised pain if Lucy stepped out of line. Shaggy did not like to kill. However he knew the truth sometimes you had to kill. Shaggy did not see the world as black and white.

Right and wrong did not exist in his world. He did what many would consider bad things. Killing in cold blood his three former friends was bad by any means. However he did it to protect his little sister and his mother. So while he did something bad it was for a good reason.

Jade understood and accepted that. She felt that same way about the idea of black and white. She felt it did not exist. She lived by a saying not everything is black and white but your heart will always know what is right. Shaggy lived that way as well. It was another thing the two had in common.

The night he held her once more for she was emotional drained. She was happy that she had another friend by her side. She did not want Lucy at her wedding not only for the reason's she stated but because she did not trust Lucy that much. She was starting to but it was not enough trust. She smiled and cuddle into Shaggy arms she was exhausted so she fell asleep.

A few weeks later it is one of the events where parents can come and she what their daughters are up to and how they are doing. It was a huge party the likes of which was not seen in a long time. Each month these parties were held and each one got bigger and bigger. Shaggy that last few parties the ones before he started to date Jade were very difficult for him. Many of the single mothers took an interest in him.

One over all took the most interest in him. She had long black hair and bright green eyes she was about the same height as Jade and her name was Crystal. She was a very beautiful woman and a vampire and Jade was a little jealously of her. Her daughter was the same age as Ruby and Sugi and Silver. Her name was Sara. She had the black hair like her mom but had brown eyes instead of green.

During some of the parties Jade and Crystal would talk and Jade discovered that she was very smart and in many ways like her. So she felt that Crystal could steal Shaggy away from her. Jade really liked Crystal and the three adults became fast friends. Since Shaggy started to date Jade Crystal made no move to try and seduced him.

That did not mean Crystal did not hope for the relationship to fail she still did. She wanted Shaggy for she had fallen in love with him but she was never able to work up the courage to tell him. So she was heartbroken to see Jade with the ring on her finger. However she smiled and hugged them she had become a great friend to the couple they would often hang out together.

The three were talking first about the girls and then it moved to personal stuff. Shaggy finally asked why Crystal use to try and seduce him. Jade was also curious about that answer. She had a feeling she knew the answer actually she did know the answer she was curious to see what Crystal would say.

"My daughter talked about you and you helped my daughter greatly more than anyone has ever. So the first meeting it was meant as a way to say thank you since I felt a simple thank you was not enough." Shaggy and Jade were a little confused by this but waited for their friend to finish.

"I then got the chance to know you and I could see the pain in your eyes. I wanted to help heal your pain. I never asked what happened it was not my business. The others were there since you could resist me I figured having three you could not. I wanted to help you move on like you have helped my daughter." Shaggy accepted that where as Jade on the other hand did not. To be fair she knew Crystal was telling the truth just not the whole truth. Later that night Jade pulled her aside.

"Ok Crystal talk, tell me the truth please. I will not be mad." The first sentence her voice was filled with some anger. The second sentence it lowered and was replaced with a gentleness and kindness only used with close friends. It gave Crystal courage.

"At first yes I wanted to sleep with him to thank him. I was lonely and wanted someone to show me love even if for one night. When I first saw the pain in his eyes and talked with him after failing to get him to sleep with me, I fell in love." She had to take a pause.

"It has grown stronger and stronger. I never had the courage to tell him. I hope you two have a good life together you both deserve it. I will not lie I have wished that I could have a chance with him. I have wished that your relationship would fail. I have not attempted however to ruin it. You are my friend."

Crystal expected to be yelled at or slapped but she was not. No what Jade did took her by surprise. Jade hugged her black haired friend. Crystal started to cry softly.

"He is everything I was looking for that is why this is hard for me. Just be good to each other." Jade understood how her friend felt. So she spoke without thinking but knowing it was right.

"Why not join us and become his second wife?"

"I can't mark him as my mate if you do. I want more children."

"Actually you can it is all based upon the power of the male. The more power he has the more vampire females that can mark him as there mate."

Looking up the two see Sibella one of the over protective little sisters of Shaggy and she had a smile on her face a smile that was not meant to scare anyone so Crystal had no need to be scared.

"My father had many mates at least five that I knew about. He most likely has more by now and Shaggy is far more powerful then my father so it should be no problem however it has to be love and you need to get Sugi's approval Crystal and the rest of his little sisters and Ruby. You daughter already adores him so that will be no problem and I like you Crystal." She had to take a pause.

"The choice is yours and yours alone. You are being offered happiness on a silver platter I would suggest taking it. You can join us here another security guard would be most helpful." Sibella walked off after that. She left behind two confused vampires.

Jade put her hand on her friends shoulder to relax her. She would not mind if Crystal became Shaggy's second mate. She knew that powerful monsters had more than one mate and Shaggy was about as powerful as they come. If not more powerful.

"Think about it if you wish to do it let me know and we will work on Sugi and the others."

"Is Sugi that protective of her brother?" Crystal had to ask she was not ready for the answer.

"Yes when I first introduced myself to her as her brothers girlfriend she started to use her magic to make sharp objects to impale me. She has threatened to harm me if I hurt her brother. I find it to be very cute."

Jade walked off to check on the other parents and talk to them. Crystal had some thinking to do. She went to find her daughter. Sara knew right away her mom was troubled but she also knew her mom would not speak about it. The mother and daughter spent the rest of the night together and had fun a lot of fun.

Crystal stayed the night since it was late and going back was not a good idea. This whole time she had been thinking about what was offered. Sibella was right Crystal knew that so after her daughter went to bed and Shaggy went to do his rounds she pulled Jade aside.

"If you are still willing I want to try it." Jade smiled at that.

"Good there is another reason I am doing this. Shaggy told me that if we had never met he would have asked you on a date. So had I not come it would be you with the ring not me. I asked him this I was curious. " So the two vampires left to make plans after a short time they picked one.

Shaggy gets back from his rounds to find his fiancé and Crystal on the bed. Crystal and Jade were both in long nightdress's. He had no idea what was going on but he figured Jade would explain it so he got ready in his night cloths which were a pair of long pants and that was all. Jade had forbid him form wearing a shirt to bed after they got engaged.

She ripped his shirt off of him. She told him you can't wear a shirt anymore and ripped it off. After that Shaggy never wore a shirt to bed again. After about five minutes he spoke.

"Not that I mind coming in to seeing two beautiful women in my bed I would like someone to tell me what is going on please." Crystal gathered up all the courage she had and spoke.

"Shaggy I lied early at first yes I meant to thank you but when we started to talk and I got to know you and I looked into your eyes for the first time I fell in love with you. I did not know how to tell you so I keep on trying. I had hoped to mark you and then explain." Jade spoke next.

"So I figured why not have both of us since with how powerful you. You can have more than one mate mark you. If I had not come she would be here right now with the ring and part of my feels bad about it. Plus she is my friend."

Crystal then kissed him after calling up all the courage she had. She felt her heart breaking until Shaggy kissed her back. Once done with the kiss Shaggy kissed Jade and once done with that he pulled both to him. Both put their head on his chest.

"If you both are really ok with this then so am I. Crystal you need to meet my sister and mom and my sister will test you." Shaggy spoke.

"I am not sure how my daughter will react but I hope she will be ok with it." That night all three fell asleep. Shaggy also promised to get Crystal a ring once it was known she still wanted to marry him.

Crystal woke up the next morning feeling great warmth in her heart. It took her a few minutes to remember where she was and what happened last night. As a result she started to panic when she felt that she was resting on someone. Thankfully the panic did not last long so she snuggled into the warmth.

Jade had been watching and was smiling she felt the same way to first night she slept next to Shaggy. She also snuggled into Shaggy's embrace. Shaggy woke up and he forgot last night what had happened for a second. Shaggy was not a morning person. Well he used to be before he became a werewolf.

In the first few minutes after waking up he was not with it. So he was surprised that he felt not one but two females next to him. So he started to panic until he remembered what occurred last night. He did not see it coming last night he honestly did not see it coming. He kissed both Crystal and Jade good morning and told both he loved them.

It made Crystal's heart start to beat faster and it did the same with Jade. Jade had heard it every morning since she started to date Shaggy but it still made her happy to hear it. Crystal it made her cry but she was happy none the less. Sibella that morning noticed the three and smiled and started to laugh. When she told the others why she was laughing they did as well.

"I like her I think she is ok but if she hurts are brother I will destroy her." Tanis said this.

"I will aid you Tanis." Thorn said this. The Hex Girls had all taken to the school really well. The three fit in with the staff so well many wondered how long the three had been teaching.

Later that day Shaggy took Sugi and Sliver for a walk. Crystal took Sara and Jade took Ruby for a walk. All three were going to tell the little girls what was going on. Silver had become like a second little sister to Shaggy since she came to the Ghoul School.

Sugi knew her brother's expressions very well so she knew he was nervous but she also knew she had to ease into the discussion and by that she had to wait for him to speak. Her brother was only a coward when it came to feelings and emotions everything else he was brave.

Put him in front of a bullet and he would clammily face it and then dodge. Put him face to face with a monster only seen in nightmares and he would fight it. Ask him to talk about his feelings he would got find the monster with the bullets. Despite all of that Sugi loved her brother and cared about him greatly.

"Sugi you know of all of my adventures and it is safe to say that many odd things happen to me." Sugi nodded her head for she agreed with that. She also rolled her eyes at that comment. Silver also did for Sugi had told of some her brothers adventures.

"Yes but that is what makes you well you and what makes you my brother." Shaggy smiled at that.

"Ok well to make a long story short I am now engaged to two vampires. This was Jade's idea I am still not sure what she was thinking or why she came up with the idea. It is Sara's mom." Sugi was not expecting it but afterward she and Silver started to laugh.

Shaggy was expecting a lot of reactions from his sister however this was not one of them not even close. After his sister stopped laughing which took quite some time she spoke.

"Only you big brother would have two vampires fall in love with you. As long as she truly loves you and you do not hurt her and she does not hurt you I am ok." Sugi then smirked an evil smirk. Shaggy was unsure where she learned that form she suspected the Hex Girls had something to do with it mostly Thorn and Sibella to.

"Wait till mom finds out she is going to be a grandmother." At this Shaggy laughed for his mom would freak or she would be happy it was hard to tell it could go either way. He was unsure how his mom would react to him having two wives.

"I love you brother and nothing will change that you have always been there for me and you mean so much to me. I am glad to see you smiling again. You have not smiled in a while." Shaggy hugged his little sister close to him. Silver joined in the hug and the three sat like that for a while. Shaggy was happy that his sister did not hate him.

Jade was with Ruby and Ruby knew her sister slash mom's habits and thoughts. She also knew that she would have to wait for Jade to speak. Jade pulled Ruby into a huge hug which Ruby was very happy to return.

"Ruby I have done many things that are crazy and foolish and or some things I have no idea why I did them but in the end it was the right thing to do. Last night I did the last of them I would also like to do another of them of which I should have done a long time ago." Ruby nodded her head for she knew her sister and knew she had done all of those things. Ruby was curious so she asked Jade to tell her.

"Last night I convinced Shaggy to take a second mate. She is the mother of Sara." Ruby was not expecting that but she did not seem to care. She was more concerned with the second thing so she asked about it and told her sister the other thing.

"I know that many times you see me as a mother and have wished that I would be a mom and treat you like a daughter. If you still wish it I can make it happen. You will be listed as my daughter." Ruby hugged more like tackled Jade and started to cry softly tears of joy.

"Why did you wait this long?" Ruby asked her mom.

"Two reasons, I did not want you to forget mom. The second reason is I never felt worthy enough to be called mom." Jade pulled her daughter close. Shaggy had pointed out to her that the two had more of a mother daughter relationship. He helped her see that and helped her stop fighting the idea.

"Above all I was scared I did not know how to be a mother. When mom and dad died I was scared that I would fail to take care of you the right away. So I acted as the sister not the mom since it is better to hate your sister for ruining your life then your mom." Ruby hugged her mom tightly.

"I think you are a great mom and have always been. I don't remember mom much only a little bit. I think you are more than worthy. You have never ruined my life you have helped me make a life. Does that mean he will be my dad?" Jade smiled at that.

"Yes he is looking forward to it he told me so." This made Ruby really happy. She whispered I love you mommy to Jade before she fell asleep. It caused a great joy to fill her heart once again. She was now regretting not doing this sooner. The smile on Ruby's face was wonderful to see and the joy in her heart was wonderful to feel.

Crystal was with Sara and the little girl knew her mother was troubled but also noticed that her mother seemed happy very happy. So she waited for her mom to speak.

"Last night I confessed my feelings towards my future mate. I have not marked him yet but I will once we are married." Sara asked who it was.

"It is Shaggy."

"Mom he is engaged to Miss Jade, he loves her very much."

"I know it was Jade's idea and he confessed that he loves me too and came close to asking me on a date. So I would like to know how you feel about it." Sara smiled.

"I will have a dad that is wonderful of course I am happy and you are happy mom."

Crystal pulled her daughter into a hug. Later that night all four little girls were in there room. Sibella had moved Sara into Ruby's Sugi' and Silver's room. All four were talking and all four were happy.

"She has called me her daughter I am so happy about it." Ruby said. Ruby was happy she would get an aunt and a sister. Sugi would be the aunt and it made everyone laugh. Later that night the adults were in bed the two vampires were cuddled up to Shaggy.

"Thank you Shaggy for helping me get rid of my fear I really needed it. I am happy and I think my mom would be as well." The three had filled each other in on the details. They fell asleep with smiles on their faces. Up above Jade and Ruby's birth mom was smiling. She did not suspect this at all but she was happy none the less. Happy that her oldest daughter was treating her youngest daughter like a daughter.

As for Shaggy having two mates as long as everyone was happy then that was ok with her. She whispered congrats my child you have done well and made me proud. The mother faded away.

It had been three days since Shaggy asked Crystal to marry him. After the girls all approved the next night he took Crystal out to dinner and properly asked her to marry him. She cried tears of joy for a long time. Her ring was a small diamond the same size as the one Jade wore. It had three small sapphires around it and it was on a gold band turned black.

Crystal was still in shock but very happy. The Fearsome Four as Sugi, Ruby, Sliver and Sara were called went into fan girl mode when they saw the ring Crystal wore. They were called the Fearsome Four since on the field of battle and or the courts for sports they were very fearsome. No one could beat them and many were scared of them. No student could beat them the adults all could still.

They were as thick as thieves and every bit as deadly. Sugi with her magic and her skills with a sword made her deadly. Sugi wanted a backup in case her magic failed that is why she took to using a sword. Ruby and Sara both had the strength of a vampire. They could both strike hard each blow landed where it was aimed and each blow hurt a lot.

Silver was faster than the vampires for she would go for a strike and then retreat. Her blows were not as powerful but they were still deadly for she would strike in the vital points and do it before anyone had time to notice. Shaggy and the mothers were proud of them. Even Silver's mother was proud.

All the girls at the Ghoul School learned to fight. The teachers wanted a world of peace but all knew that a war would have to be fought for that. So they trained the girls. The deadliest of the girls were the Fearsome Four.

Jade and Crystal were taking Shaggy for a picnic lunch. Afterwards Jade walked away for a bit and came back but she was not alone. In her arms was a gray puppy and gray wolf puppy. It upon seeing and smelling Shaggy jumped out of Jade's arms and rushed over to Shaggy. It took a big sniff of him and then curled up in his lap and fell asleep.

Jade was in shock complete and total shock. Crystal had no idea what was going on but figured it was important so she waited for Jade to speak.

"She really likes you Shaggy it took me about four weeks for her to come close to me. Anyway I found her all alone and hurt so I helped her. She can be your friend." Jade took a pause and had to pick her next words carefully.

"I am not trying to get you to replace Scooby Doo. I never had the chance to meet him but from what the others tell me he was amazing. She needs a home and you could use a friend so I thought she could help you heal." Shaggy asked Jade to come over and when she did he kissed her.

"Thank you this means a lot to me. However she sees me as a dad so it looks like we have a daughter. I going to let her sleep for awhile and then talk to her. Thank you so much." Crystal pulled out a book.

She handed it to him and in it were pictures of Scooby Doo. Crystal actual had meet Scooby and had gotten pictures form all the girls at the school. When she told the girls what she was planning they gladly gave the pictures.

"I know it is not as meaningful as a puppy but I had hoped that it would serve as a reminder. I did get the chance to speak with him a few times and all of them were fun. I know it is not much but I hope you like it." Shaggy was really happy about these gifts. The pain in his heart was gone.

The puppy woke up and started to growl at Jade and Crystal. Shaggy started to pet her and whispered to her.

"These are my soon to be mates. I love them and they will love you as well. So be nice to them please." The puppy growled that she would. She barked at Shaggy.

"Daddy what is my name?"

"Let me see you are very pretty but I also sense you are dangerous. So how about Night Shade?" She started to lick her daddy's check. She really liked that name.

"Jade, Crystal met our daughter Night Shade." Night Shade stared to sniff the two vampires and she apologized for her meanness. The four went home. Night Shade was a huge hit at the school. She went to sleep that night in between Jade and Shaggy.

Three days later Shaggy was back visiting his mother but the gang was there. By gang it was meant his soon to be wives, daughters, his sister and his sister's best friend plus Night Shade. Stacy was a very easy going person it took a lot to upset her and to get her mad. So she did not bat an eyelash at the two new vampires.

Sara and Crystal were nervous about meeting Stacy but they trusted Shaggy so they let it go. After eating Stacy asked who the two were.

"Stacy a week or so ago I convinced Shaggy to take another wife." Jade said this.

"I am the one. I have been in love with Shaggy for a long time." Crystal said this and then told her whole story. Stacy once the story was over started to laugh confusing everyone expect Night Shade who was asleep on Shaggy's lap. It took a good five minutes for Stacy to stop laughing. No one saw this coming at all.

"Only you Shaggy would get two vampires to fall in love with you." She said.

"So you are not mad?" Shaggy asked he had not expected this not even a little bit.

"No when you told me you were a werewolf and when Sugi started to use her magic I figured normal would never apply to this family so it seems right to me." Stacy said.

She then looked at Sara and then at Crystal. She had put two and two together and had gotten four.

"So I am guessing this young lady that has been hiding behind you the entire night is your daughter and that would make her my granddaughter once you marry my son." Crystal smiled. The girl spoke.

"My name is Sara it is nice to meet you grandma." Stacy started to hug her and she could feel the girl tensing.

"Mom remember what we have talked about with the girls." Shaggy said to pull his mom off.

"I am sorry I forgot and I am sorry Sara. I know that humans have tried to hurt you. I promise you this I will never hurt you. I have always wanted to have grandchildren and I figured my children would never give them to me. Neither seemed interested in getting married. " The comment caused her two children to blush.

"I enjoy seeing Shaggy blush but you have a second granddaughter or will. Ruby I have adopted her as my daughter. I should have done it years ago but I was scared." Ruby opened up her arms for a hug. Stacy was only happy to return the hug.

"Shaggy who is the wolf? It has not left your side at all this night and it really likes you. I don't think she likes me." Stacy asked since she was curious.

"Well this is Night Shade. Jade found her alone and gave her to me. She sees me as a father and Jade and Crystal as mothers. I think she likes you she can tell that you are my mom but she does not trust you."

"Any other surprise's?" She was joking but she got an answer anyway an answer that she did not like.

"Mom there is no easy way to say this. You are in danger and Sibella would like you to come to the school you can help out." Shaggy told his mom all traces of mirth and joy gone from his face.

"I am afraid to ask but I have to ask anyway." Stacy asked and she was truly afraid.

"My former friends are still alive. Jade's former friends are still alive and all have tried to kill us."

"Shaggy you killed them I killed them." Jade said this and she was scared now really scared.

"Thorn performed a spell for me since something was off. Velma never changes her mind about something. She acted like she was sorry for her actions Velma would never say sorry if she thought she was right. So Thorn performed a spell and it confirmed it." Shaggy said this and he had to pause.

"The spell was to detect if anyone that once lived was buried there. There is no sign of life near their graves. Not any at all. Even if the bodies were removed the spell would be able to tell. I am not sure how but they are still alive. All I can guess is either dark magic or they were clones of some sort."

Stacy got up and started to pack. Once she was done the three adult monsters teleported to the Ghoul School. Stacy looked at the building and now understood what her children meant. It was indescribable you had to see it for yourself. It looked dark but had a feeling of home.

The girls all went to their room since it was late and they wanted to sleep for they also had class in the morning. Stacy was now meeting the rest of the gang. She had meet Tanis and she liked the mummy woman. Stacy did very well with meeting the other four and the Hex Girls. All of them liked her and welcomed her with open arms.

The next morning Stacy was introduced to the girls and they were all weary of her. It did not bother Stacy she had this to say.

"I know I am human and I know humans have harmed all of you. I want to show you that not all humans are bad. Many are but there are some that are not. I will not ask anything form you girls that you are not comfortable with. I hope we can get along. I hope someday to have gained your trust."

The girls could sense her honesty and knew she raised Shaggy and Sugi so they gave her a chance.

It had been about two months and today was the day that Shaggy married not only Jade but Crystal. Stacy had adjusted to the school very well. She was the librarian and the girls liked her now. They all took a chance and the all accepted her. One day one of the girls gave Stacy a hug and it was one of the happiest days of her life.

The girls trusted her and learned that not all humans were bad. Shaggy was once human but he was not now. So to the girls that did not count. Stacy on the other hand was full human. Many of the girls now knew they could start to trust humans. They always knew they should but many did not want to.

The girls were really looking forward to the wedding today. It was up to debate as to who was more excited the girls or the ones getting married. The teachers were all really happy. The Hex Girls were performing the music. When asked if they would the answer was something along the lines of don't be stupid we were going to do it anyway. There was also some slapping.

Sibella was going to perform the wedding as the new vampire Queen. You see the law was that a vampire had to get permission from the leader if they wish to marry a non vampire. Dracula was the King so Jade and Crystal had to get his permission to marry Shaggy.

The Count was not willing to let either marry Shag'gi. The Count respected and liked Shaggy but Shaggy was a werewolf. The count used werewolf's for his army but he would never allow any vampire to marry one. Sibella was furious at that.

She saw the look on Jade and Crystal's face and knew her father had refused it was then that she got mad for the first time in many years. If Jade and Crystal married Shaggy anyway then all three would die once the vows were said. She challenged her father to battle the winner is the new ruler of the vampires and the loser dies.

The three tired to tell her not to do it. However SIbella would not hear it. Shaggy was one of her best friends and she would not be who she was without his help. She had seen him smile and be happy the last few years and she was not going to lose it.

Crystal and Jade were perfect mates for her brother and she would not allow him to lose them. The battle between father and daughter was interesting. The Count was old but he was still very powerful and not to be messed with.

However Sibella was also strong she trained day and night to not only master her powers but also her fighting skills. Shaggy helped train her and she was deadly in combat. So when the battle came the Count thought he would win.

He was mistaken for his daughter was smarter, faster and stronger. The Count was defeated by his daughter and killed by his daughter. She shed no tears since her father was becoming a monster in the true sense of the word. Her father was killing humans and Sibella was working for peace.

She got back to the school that night and told Jade and Crystal that they could marry Shaggy and she would perform the wedding as the new Vampire Queen. She even made the two her advisors. She wanted to make Shaggy one but she figured many other vampires would not like that yet. So he was her unofficial advisor as well as her friend.

Shaggy hugged her and asked her not to do it again. He could live with not marrying but losing his sister he could not live with. Jade and Crystal agreed with that. She had this to say.

"I needed to take over anyway. I want peace amongst humans and monsters and my father made that hard. He was becoming evil and I did not like it. Plus I wanted to see you three happy. I knew I could end my father. You have trained me well brother."

After that Sibella took over her role as Vampire Queen. She passed a few new laws one being no longer did vampires have to marry other vampires. If the vampire married a human they had to tell the human the truth about the vampire world and the monster world. She also ordered no more attacks on humans.

For feeding only go after the sick and the criminals or family members or friends that were non vampires no child was to be feed upon ever. If it was discovered that a vampire feed on a child Sibella would personally kill the vampire in question. A vampire did do just that two days later and he was ended in a very brutally way. The police had no clue what to do and seasoned veterans were sick for days. The case was declared closed.

Jade and Crystal were prepared for the wedding they had their dress's all set up. Crystal made her dress she was a seamstress and a very good one at that. She offered to make Jades but Jade politely refused. She had the dress already. She was going to wear her moms dress. It had been keep safe in her closet. Ruby was going to wear it when and if she got married.

Shaggy had his tux picked out it belonged to his dad and it was one that he wore when he was married. The wedding party was odd since Shaggy had only one guy friend he was the best man and that was Scrappy. Shaggy's other best man or friend was Sugi. and the flower girl was Silver shaggy did not find it odd that most of his friends were female. Jade's maid of honor was her daughter Ruby. Crystal's maid of honor was her daughter Sara.

The day of the wedding had arrived and different emotions were running through different people. Stacy was thrilled to see her baby boy getting married and to two women that meant she could have many grandchildren. Jade and Crystal were no longer freaked out by those words and Stacy asking when they were going to have children.

The first few times the two vampires would blush and blush heavily. Neither of the two vampires minded the idea of having more children just the constant asking of when they would was driving them mad. Sibella and the rest of the original five all felt that the two were perfect for Shaggy so they were happy. Even Tanis was happy and she felt no one was worthy. Tanis for example hated Velma and hated her with a passion.

Tanis did do a dance when she discovered Shaggy was no longer dating Velma. She then felt bad that she was happy her brother was hurt. She had explained this to Shaggy and he understood and was glad that he had someone looking after him.

Shaggy was nervous but all guys were nervous on their wedding day. However his nervousness was overshadowed by his joy. Jade and Crystal felt the same way. Crystal it still felt unreal that her wish was coming true. The fearsome four were looking forward to it. Silver was nervous but she was glad her mom had been allowed to come. In fact her mom was helping Stacy out in the library. She had been moved since Shaggy felt it was a good idea.

Silver was glad for she had a question to ask her mom. (Will come later.) The wedding was set and the two brides to be were nervous but happy. Each had the something old for Jade it was the dress. For Crystal it was the necklace she had it was her mothers. It was just a simple bat. The something new Shaggy had gotten both of them a bracelet with the names of their daughters on them.

The something blue well I will not say but you can guess. The something burrowed was given to them by Stacy. She gave each a bracelet that she had made for them to wear on their wedding day. It simply said love conquers all. She had given it to them in the dressing room. Stacy had this to say.

"I wore that when I was married. When Shaggy told me he was marrying you Crystal I had another one made. Once the wedding is over I want you to give it to your children's spouse when they marry." Both promised they would.

"It is had been a tradition in my family as far back as my family has been around. So I thank you both. You both have been wonderful and I am really happy to welcome you into the family. Take care of him and make sure he does not do anything too stupid." Both hugged there soon to be mother in law and promised.

Ruby and Sara were helping their moms get ready. Ruby still could not believe it that Jade was now her mom. Every day and night she told Jade. I love you mom and every night and day Jade would respond I love you to my daughter. Ruby did to make sure it was not a dream.

Both little girls were looking forward to having a dad. Stacy pulled her granddaughters into a hug. Sara now could accept the hug. She also pulled out two rings. Sugi had a ring like this one. It was a simple gold ring that had one word inscribed into it. That word was family.

"Girls you are now a part of my family. I want you two to feel welcome. I want you to know you can always count on me. I am nowhere near as powerful as your parents but I can still help." She told them. Both girls hugged their grandmother.

Shaggy was in his dressing room with Scrappy, Sugi Sliver and Nightshade. Sugi was surprised by something.

"You are not nervous. I expected you to be running for the hills right now." Sugi said to her brother.

"Of course I am scared and nervous right now what normal sane person would not be." He took a pause a short one before speaking once more.

"Before you say it I know I am neither normal nor sane." This comment caused everyone to laugh and to break the tension.

"Yes I am nervous very nervous but that is all overshadowed by my happiness and joy. I am getting married to two wonderful women who mean the world to me. I will get two new daughters. What can be better?" Sugi hugged her brother tightly.

"Don't worry little sis I will still spend time with you. I love you Sugi and for a long time it was us two against the world. We have a strong bond and nothing will break that. That was why I started to date Velma. She understood our bond and accepted it. No one else beside Jade and Crystal understood. I knew when I dated that I needed to find someone that understood our bond."

Sugi felt much better she had heard form Jade and Crystal that she would not lose her brother but she was still worried and it was good to hear it from him. It was one think to hear from her future sister in laws but hearing it from her brother made it more true. Shaggy went out to wait at the altar.

Sibella was waiting for her friend and bother. Sibella was now the Vampire Queen but that had not gone to her head and it never would. She was always down to Earth. She was really happy right now seeing her brother getting married. She would admit that when Ruby pitched her plan she loved it.

She agreed with the little girl 100 percent that Shaggy and Jade needed love but she was unsure if they would be good for each other. The reason was Sibella could feel the connection between Shaggy and Crystal. However after meeting Jade she could feel it too. So Sibella knew that her brother had two possible mates.

After speaking with the others she and they had decided to set him up with both. It took some work but it was easier than they thought.

"You do not seem nervous brother. I am shocked." Sibella said softly.

"O believe me I am very nervous but it is overshadowed by my joy and I can't wait." Shaggy said which caused Sibella to smile. Nightshade was happy she was going to have two moms in her life. She never thought she would have parents or a family again. Afterwards they hear the music of here come the bride. It was the only thing that Shaggy insisted upon everything else he went along with. Jade and Crystal did not care too much so it was an easy thing to agree to.

Shaggy looked around and saw the most amazing sight in the world Jade and Crystal in their wedding dress's. Jade was full length and had straps it was not fancy just a plan white dress that fit her very nicely. Crystal was the same length but strapless and also not very fancy just a simple white dress and it fit her very nicely as well.

Shaggy was stunned very stunned.

"You may want to close your mouth daddy." Nightshade said to her father which caused him to laugh and the same for Scrappy since he understood Nightshade. Sibella also understood the canine language since her best friend was a werewolf.

"She is right I know they are drop dead beautiful but starting opened mouth is not right." Shaggy laughed. Jade and Crystal got to the end of the aisle. Ruby was holding Jade's hand and Sara was holding Crystal's hand.

"Who gives this man away to these two women?" Sibella asked. Stacy and Sugi stepped up.

"I Stacy his mother do give away my son." Stacy said.

"I Sugi his sister do give away my brother." Sugi said. Now to be truthful SIbella did not need to ask that but she wanted to and since she was marrying the three she could do it. It was a perk of being queen she could do what she liked.

She looked at Jade and Crystal.

"Who gives these women away to this man?" The Vampire Queen asked.

"I Ruby the former sister now daughter of Jade give away my former sister now mom to this man." Ruby said.

"I Sara the daughter of Crystal do give away my mom to this man." Sara said. Ruby placed Jade's hand into Shaggy's and Sara followed suit with her own mother. Sibella then gave the speech about love and the power it holds.

"Now it is time for the saying of the vows Shaggy you go first." Sibella said.

Shaggy was in the middle and on either side was Jade and Crystal. He got in front of both and started to speak.

"I was lost and confused for awhile in my life. I had no clue what love really was and I was useless or at least I felt that way. I never and I mean never and I will say it again never thought I would find love with anyone. To find it with not one but two amazing women is the best thing to have every happened."

He took a pause everyone knew he was not done. Stacy was having a very hard time not crying. She was able to do it for now.

"Jade you helped me see that life was worth living you showed me not to give up. Crystal you showed me that I should not hold on to the past too much. Overall I love both of you. I promise never to betray you. I promise to always put you and our family first." Shaggy had ended his vows.

Jade and Crystal were having a hard time not crying. Stacy somehow was able to win the fight and not cry. She was unsure how she did that. Sibella then announced that it was time for Jades vows.

"Shaggy when we meet I was happy but felt something missing. I found in you a new best friend and over time I fell in love with you. I feel safe and happy with you. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. I vow to always put our family first and to always love you." Jade finished up. Sibella looked at Crystal.

"When we meet I could see the sadness in your eyes and I wanted to try and help you erase that sadness. I admit my ideas were not the smartest. I never would have thought I fall in love with you but I did and I am happy as can be. I vow to put family first and to love you." Shaggy then placed the rings and after the I dos.

"You may now kiss the brides." Sibella said. Shaggy kissed both Jade and Crystal. At this Stacy lost it and started to cry. Shaggy was a little freaked out to be honest.

"It is with great honor that I announce for the first time. Mr. Shaggy Roger's, Mrs. Jade Rogers, Mrs. Crystal Rogers and the daughters Ruby and Sara Rogers." Sibella said with tears in her eyes. That night after the huge party Shaggy made love to both Jade and Crystal. Both women marked him as there mate. They feel asleep in Shaggy's arms happy that they could soon start a family.

The three adults woke up the next morning naked in each other's arms. All three were content and happy.

"I thought it was a dream. A realistic and wonderful dream but a dream none the less. Now I know it was not." Crystal said. Shaggy gently and lovingly kissed her.

"If you ever doubt look at my neck." Shaggy said. Crystal and Jade did and both saw a small mark on either side of his neck. This meant that both Jade and Crystal marked Shaggy. It was a sign to other females that he was claimed so back off. If you looked on Jade or Crystal's neck you would see a mark as while. Shaggy marked them both last night as well. It was a sign to others to back off.

Shaggy did not like that aspect but he was happy so he did not think too much on it. Plus when he was turned into a werewolf he was told that some things would change and this was one of the them. Shaggy was really happy all that was missing were little children that he could raise.

Now he loved that he had two daughters but he wanted to raise them form a baby. He wanted more daughters he was unsure about a son but he would worry about that later when and if the time came. If either Jade or Crystal told him they were carrying a son he would be happy really happy he would also be really happy if they told him they were carrying a daughter.

Silver had just woken up and she was cuddle up to her mother. Silver was able to sleep with her mom last night as a special treat. Normally if a parent was staying over they could not stay with their child. However Sibella let it slide last night. She knew Silver needed it. Plus Sibella was in her happy mode.

Sliver's mom knew that her daughter was troubled by something. She just did not know how to bring it up. Finally she picked the direct approach. She warped her daughter in a hug and Silver cuddled deeper into her mom. Silver may be one of the strongest girls at the school but she was still a little girl at heart and her mother's warmth brought her peace.

"My little snake I know something is troubling you please tell me what it is I want to help you." She said. The little snake comment was corny but Silver liked it.

"I think I am in love but I am too young and the one I think I love will never love me that way. It hurts mom it really hurts. How do I make the pain go away?" Silver asked with a broken heart.

"Who is the lucky lady?" Her mom knew it had to be a girl and it did not bug her mom not at all that Silver liked girls.

"Ruby, she is my best friend and I am scared mom really scared. What do I do please help me." Her mom looked at her.

"You need to tell her the truth. You need to tell her how you feel. She is one of your best friends and she will not turn away from you if you tell her. If you do not tell her you will always regret it. You will always have what if in the back of your mind."

"You support this mom?" Silver asked. It caused her mom to smile.

"Yes as long as you are happy and she treats you right. Go and tell her for all that matters is that you tell her." So Silver went to find Ruby. Once she found her three friends she asked to speak to Ruby alone. Ruby and the others did not bat an eyelash at this. Ruby however could tell her friend was upset or at the very least nervous.

"Ruby please do not interrupt me this is very hard for me to say." Silver said which caused Ruby to nod her head. Silver realized that she had lost her nerve so she grabbed Ruby and gently kissed her. Ruby started to return the kiss which gave hope to Silver.

"I love you Ruby. I want nothing more than to be with you." Silver said. She had put all her cards on the table and now she waited to hear form Ruby.

"I do not know what to feel Silver I need a few days please. I will let you know. Is that ok?" Ruby said and asked. Silver nodded. Ruby gave her a gentle kiss. She was letting her know that she was not outright rejecting Silver's love. Ruby flew off to the garden.

It was there four hours later her mom found her. The three adults were getting ready to go on their honeymoon. Jade could tell that Ruby was not doing very well. She wrapped her in a hug.

"So what has you this down?" Jade asked.

"Silver kissed me and told me she loved me. What do I do? I am scared and confused. Being with another girl is not allowed in many parts of the world." Ruby said.

"That is true but everyone here accepts it. I do not care who you end up with. As long as she or he understand if they hurt you then they deal with me and Shaggy and Crystal. Neither of us will be nice." Jade said.

"I need help mom please help me." Ruby asked almost begged. Jade sat down in a lotus position and asked her daughter to do that same.

"Now close your eyes and listen for two voices. You will hear a loud voice louder than a wolf's howl and a soft voice softer then a mouse. Listen for them and let me know when you can hear them both and follow them." Jade said.

Ruby spent the next hour listening for the voices. The loud voice she heard right away without any effort at all. The soft voice was what she had trouble hearing but she was finally able to hear it. She let her sister turned mom know this information.

"Good now the loud voice is your brain or mind. It is logical and the one that should be listened to most of the time. The soft voice is your heart. It is often times more emotional and rash it should be ignored most of the time or taken with a grain of salt. " Jade spoke to make sure Ruby got it.

"Now in this case ignore your brain it is wrong and knows nothing of love. Now I know the brain controls all emotions but in this case it is the heart that matters. Listen to it for it will guide you." Jade said. Ruby listened and finally understood. Once she ignored her brain she had the answer it was clear as the sky at night deep in the heart of Texas. She hugged Jade and ran off.

Jade smiled for she knew her sister turned daughter had gotten it. Ruby found Silver she was with her mom and just having fun.

"Silver may I speak to you alone please. It is important." Ruby said. Silver did not want to. She felt that Ruby was going to break her heart but she had to trust Ruby since she was her friend. So she agreed. Ruby and Silver found a secluded spot.

"I am so sorry for making you wait Silver. I should have told you this right away. Thankfully mom made me see the truth." Ruby was rambling which Silver knew she did when she got nervous. It gave her slight hope.

"The truth is I love you as well Silver. I was and am still afraid that are friendship will be ruined. So I hid my feelings and locked them away." Silver and Ruby shared a sweet kiss.

"Let us promise to always be friends no matter what happens." Silver said. Both girls promised that. They had a bond of friendship that was strong and nothing could break that bond even if the relationship failed.

It was for that reason that Silver's mom pushed Silver into telling Ruby. Her mom was staring at the moon and just relaxing. She always enjoyed the night it was relaxing and soothing to her.

"I did not take you as someone that enjoyed the night." Looking up she sees Jade.

"I enjoy it. The night has a clam feel to it." Mary said. That was her name by the way.

"Agreed as a creature of the night it makes me more comfortable." Jade said.

"I am not thinking you came to talk about me liking the night." Mary said with a smile.

"True it seems are daughters are together. I am curious as to why you pushed Silver to confess. Are they not too young?" Jade asked.

"Yes they are young I will not deny that. However with love it does not matter. My late husband I met when I was five. I knew when I was ten years old that I loved him. We married the first chance we could. Sadly he died but not before Silver was born." Mary said. Jade now understood.

"Do not misunderstand I am happy about it. I do not wish to see Ruby hurt. That is one thing I have fought hard to prevent since our parents were killed." Jade said and Mary agreed.

"She is lucky to have you." Mary said.

"Silver is lucky to have you." Jade said.

"Your both great mothers." They heard a voice they knew as Stacy. She looked at Jade.

"So am I going to have grandkids yet?" Jade started to sweet drop at this.

"No not yet we are not ready for children just yet. Velma and my former friends are still out there. Children will be hurt by them." Jade said.

Crystal was with Sara and she could tell that her daughter was upset by something. She knew Sara was not upset about the marriage she was happy about it. So she had to figure it out. She gave up and just asked.

"I think I have fallen in love with Sugi." Sara said which caused Crystal to smile.

"So why not tell her?" Crystal asked.

"She is one of my best friends and is now my aunt." Sara said.

"Well not by blood so that does not matter. You need to tell her how you feel or else you will regret it." Crystal said.

"I never told Shaggy how I felt and I almost lost him. If Jade had not stepped in I would have. You need to follow your heart my dear. That is all that I can say." Crystal said.

"I will do it when you are gone. Have fun mom." Sara said. The two hugged and left.

Shaggy was with Sugi just laughing and having fun.

"So are you going to tell Sara that truth?" This caused Sugi to blush bright red.

"She is my friend." Sugi said.

"Jade and Crystal are my friends and look what happened." Shaggy said.

"I am not telling you what to say or do Sugi I want to see you happy and not have regrets." Shaggy said after a pause.

"Ok I will tell her when you are gone. I hope you have fun and watch out for them." Sugi hugged her brother and they went back. A little while later Shaggy, Jade and Crystal left the Ghoul School to go on their honeymoon. It was a two week cruise and they were going to have fun lots of it. Sara and Ruby hugged their parents and told them they loved them.

It had been six months since Shaggy married both Jade and Crystal. The honeymoon was amazing. A lot of fun was had by all three of them. Sara did not confess to Sugi. Sugi confessed to Sara. It took all of her courage but she remembered her brother telling her that she might regret it if she did not tell Sara.

Flashback

Sugi had called Sara over and asked to speak to her. Sara agreed to it for a few reasons. One her friend really looked troubled. Two she needed a break from doing homework and three, Silver and Ruby were just too cute it was driving her crazy and making her feel a little bit jealously that she did not have that type of relationship.

The two girls went outside to the garden. They did not know that Stacy had followed them outside. Stacy had learned how to hide her scent form the girls. She could not do it with Shaggy, Jade, Crystal or the teachers but the girls she could. She wanted to be out here to help her daughter if it was needed.

"Sara you are one of my best friends. You along with Silver and Ruby helped me when I came to this school." Sara knew Sugi was not done yet so she waited.

"To be honest my feelings have grown stronger. I love you and I want to see if a relationship will work." Sugi said and now she waited for either happiness or sadness. Sara smiled.

"I feel the same way Sugi. I had no friends till you came and you brought me into the group. I love you to Sugi and I would be more than happy to see if a relationship will work out." The two young girls shared a tender kiss.

They stopped when they heard crying. Sugi using her magic remove the bush that her mother was hiding behind. Sugi was annoyed for it was a wonderful kiss.

"Mom why were you spying on us?" Sugi asked more liked shouted.

"Sorry my dear I wanted to be there for you in case your heart was broken. I will go now enjoy your time together. By the way here is some food have a nice picnic." Stacy dropped the basket she had brought and left. The two girls enjoyed the picnic.

End of flashback

Crystal and Shaggy were thrilled when they were told of the relationships once they got back. Shaggy did have to protect his daughter so it was an odd conversation but a funny one.

Flashback

"So Sugi I have to give you the don't hurt my daughter speech which is not normal." Shaggy said and it caused both to start laughing and the laughter was long and hard.

"True Shaggy but when have we ever been normal you are a werewolf married to two vampires. I am a witch dating a vampire who happens to be your step daughter. This whole situation is odd but so wonderful at the same time." Sugi said.

"I know I just don't want to see you two hurt. Both of you have been hurt in the past and I don't want to see it happen again. However I don't think it will be an issue. However I have to let you know." Shaggy said.

"What about Silver?" Sugi asked.

"I will talk to her don't worry. " Shaggy said.

"I promise Shaggy that I will take care of Sara and I will always love her. I will never give her up at least not without a fight even if she tells me to go away." Sugi said.

Jade was with her daughter telling her daughter the non x rated parts of her honeymoon.

"So how is the relationship with Silver going?" Jade asked. In response Ruby smiled a huge smile.

"It is wonderful mom. I love spending time with her it is hard to describe but I love it." Ruby said.

Crystal was having the same conversation with her daughter but about Sugi and she did tell about the honeymoon.

"Mom she is amazing I am so happy." Sara said.

Later that night Shaggy, Jade, and Crystal all talked with their daughters and sister.

"Ok girls we are happy about the relationships you are in with each other." Shaggy said.

"However we need to set some ground rules." Jade said.

"We don't care if you sleep in the same bed and hold each other." Crystal said.

"However nothing else until you are at least 18." Jade said.

"We all trust you four so don't ruin it." Shaggy finished up and the girls promised they would not do anything to break their parents or siblings trust.

"Now we don't think you guys will do anything but we wanted to make sure it was understood." Shaggy said. The four in response hugged the adults. The girls went to bed afterwards. Ruby and Silver cuddled with each other and Sara and Sugi cuddled with each other. The three went back to the library to talk with Stacy.

"So any grand kids yet?" She asked. It caused all three to blush bright red at this comment. It seems they had not gotten use to the questions yet. Either that or Stacy just asking like that was too much for them to handle.

"No Stacy we are not pregnant yet." Jade said she had recovered the fastest.

"When we are ready to get pregnant we will be and after Shaggy and the girls are told you will be the third to know." Crystal said.

"Mom Velma and the others are still out there. They have no problems going after pregnant women to get what they want. I am not putting my family in harm's way." Shaggy said.

"I know I am just messing with you guys." Stacy said. She hugged her family all of whom hugged her back. The three then went to bed cuddled up to each other. Meanwhile Velma who was still alive was plotting her revenge. Fred and Daphne were dead as dead as can be.

She used them for her evil plans. The truth is she used very dark magic the kind that would make Sarah Ravencroft run in fear to make a blood clone. She was creating an army and it was almost ready. Soon she would march onto the Ghoul School. Once there she would capture Shaggy and make him watch as she killed the ones he loved.

It had been one year since the marriage and the honeymoon and life was great. Ruby and Silver were still going strong. Sugi and Sara were also going strong. Shaggy, Jade and Crystal were stronger than ever. Every night Shaggy would pray giving thanks for Jade, Crystal his daughters, his sisters and his mom. Jade and Crystal would pray giving thanks for Shaggy and their daughters.

Ruby would pray giving thanks for Silver and her two best friends as well as her parents. Silver would pray giving thanks for Ruby, her two best friends and her mom. Sara would pray giving thanks for Sugi, her two best friends and for her parents. Lastly Sugi would pray giving thanks for Sara, her two best friends, her mom and her brother as well as sister's in laws.

Velma was ready her forces were ready so she marched onward. Her forces numbered 3 million. Let me tell you about her army. It was made of shadow creatures. All of them were about the strength of a black belt. They had no magic but were good at hand to hand. Plus they all fought as one so they swarmed on their foes. Velma could not create more she did not have the blood needed.

Fred and Daphne had been very helpful with that. Before they had died she had taken there blood and used it in the rituals needed to summon the army. She had gained great power over the dark arts.

She marched to Coolsville. She could summon her army at any time so she kept them away when she was traveling. She could not find Stacy and that was getting her really mad. However she remembered that the vampire had a friend she could use so she teleported Lucy's house.

Velma did not know where the school was but she figured Lucy would. It took Velma a few days to find Lucy. Each day was getting her more and more annoyed. Now Lucy knew that Velma was looking for her. Some people in the town had informed her of this. She knew who Velma was for Jade had told her.

Jade told Lucy that Velma was a threat to Jade's family and she was unsure what the bookworm would do. So she needed to find away to end Velma. Lucy volunteered to aid in that task. She acted as the bait. She worked at the school as a groundskeeper. The girls liked her and were not scared of her. She had earned their trust and respect.

Lucy never planned on marrying for let's face it no one would want to be with her for many reasons. It did not bug her it brought her peace. So the girls had become like her daughters. Many of them had no families or parents. So Lucy had become like their mother.

Lucy loved them like there were her daughters. She knew that Velma was aiming to hurt her daughters. So it would be a very cold and she meant a very cold day in hell before she allowed anyone to hurt her daughters or her friends. It had been three days and she knew Velma was following her. So like Jade did a few years ago she lead Velma out to a clearing.

"Come on out now Velma I know why you are here. For all that you claim to be you are not as fox like as you would like to be." Lucy said. Velma stepped out of the shadows.

"I am here for your help you are still a pure human. The monsters must be destroyed." Velma said. Lucy had been very calm and collected during this whole speech. However something snapped in her.

"My best friend and almost sister is a vampire married to a werewolf slash vampire. I work at a school full of girls that are called monsters but are not. Many of them have been hurt by humans like you." She took a pause and spoke quickly.

"Many parents throw their kids out and try to kill them. They have no family. I became their mother. So I will not allow you to hurt my daughters. I will not tell you anything." Velma summoned her army.

"Tell me or my army will tear you apart." Velma said with a smirk as her army surrounded Lucy. Lucy pulled out a sword. She had been taking lesson's form Shaggy. She knew she would die but she was going to take out some of these shadows before that. She starts to hack some of them. They are many of them and they are all strong. In a matter of seconds she has taken out 10 of them. However she was hurt as well by shadow claws.

Just as she falls to the ground she feels a hand pick her up and carry her out. She pass's out in her best friends arms. Jade had gotten the call and knew her friend needed her. The rest of the school was on battle mode and lock down mode.

"Well Velma nice to see you. You are looking well." Jade said not even shocked by seeing Velma alive and the lack of shock annoyed Velma.

"Why are you not shocked that I am alive?" Velma said.

"O it is simple. Shaggy knew you were alive. Something about you clone saying sorry he knew it was not you. Anyway you will not get away with your plan. Stand down or we will kill you." Jade said.

"You can't kill me. I have you outnumbered. " Velma said.

"I can and we will. I want you dead as soon as possible. Once you are dead I can get pregnant and have children with Shaggy. He does not want me to get pregnant till you are dead." Jade said and she turned around. Velma shouted at her.

"Let us finish this fight." Velma said.

"No Velma if it is fight you want we understand. However we will not allow you to harm the girls or anyone else for that matter." She threw a rolled up piece of paper at Velma.

"In four weeks time meet there we will have are fight there. Let it been known that it will be a fight to the death and we will spare no punches. This time you will die and not only that but Shaggy will ripe your heart out of your chest." Jade said and she gets ready to teleport but she stops.

"One more thing (name that character) no outsiders will be allowed in the battle zone." Jade teleported away to get Lucy treated and to get ready for the biggest battle of her life. One her and her family would not lose. She knew this in her heart for they had something worth fighting for.
