After a huge supper with girlfriend, Sabrina Dinkley and his parents, the two went home, tired.
“Awe man I’m beat.” Shaggy exclaimed, yawning. “Go to bed.” Sabrina said, walking to the bathroom. Taking out her scrunchy as she went. Shaggy went his room, changed and went to bed.
In his dream, he met up with a ghostly being. That scared him instantly.
“Who are you?” “Never mind who I am Shaggy.” “You know who I am?”
“Yeah, I’m here to show you what people’s lives would be like without you. The people who are close to you are whom we’re going to concentrate on. First, your parents.” They ended up in the past.
“They were in front of the Rogers’ house. A little girl ran around as two parents bickered. “Mom! It’s me! Shaggy!” “They can’t hear you.” “Like, rats!”
“I wish I had a son Marlene!” “You know after Norville and Maggie I couldn’t have any more children.” “To bad that Norville had to die early.”
Outside, the being filled him in on what they were seeing and was to happen in the future. “Your parents divorced after that fight.”
“That sucks.” Shaggy said, sarcastically and folding his arms. “Maggie didn’t make it to age eight.”
“What about my girlfriend Sabrina?” “When you died, Sabrina tried to kill herself, twice. She gave up her dream of being a detective.”
“And Scooby Doo and Mysteries Inc?” “We’ll get to that later, first, we’re going to Sabrina’s future without you.”
In the year 2001…Sabrina sat in a strange living room unfamiliar to Shaggy. Freddy sat in the next char.
Sabrina sat there with her elbows on her knees. “Sabrina and Fred married last year. They’re going through a nasty divorce.”
There was a pause before the image blackened out of their viewing.
“Sabrina’s destiny was to marry you. Since you died, she’s going to live alone, until she dies a short while later, in later weeks. She died of a severe depression. She killed herself.”
“Why did she die of?” “The cornier concluded, after an autopsy, that it was indeed suicide, an overdose of a very powerful anti-depressant.”
“Poor Sabrina!” “Let’s move on, shall we?” The next image that Shaggy saw was the grave of Sabrina’s, next to his gravestone.
“What does the gravestone say.” “It says; now that I’m dead and gone, I join my beloved in the great beyond. I send my love and prayers to my sisters, and my parents.”
“We see Scooby now. He isn’t as happy as he used to be. Everything went downhill for him after Sabrina’s death. Days after her burial, he became a victim of a hit and run accident. He died and is buried next to Sabrina. He died the same year.”
“First Sabrina, now Scooby!” He started blubbering out loud. “After Sabrina died, Fred dated and married Daphne. We’re going to see them now.”
They stood inside of a mansion, looking in the direction of Daphne Blake-Jones. “Too bad for Sabrina.” “She’s dead and six-feet under.” Fred said, drinking a bloody Mary straight. He didn’t miss her a bit. Well, maybe.
“I meant for Velma.” “She’s heartbroken. First her parents died, then she faced Sabrina’s death, plus a few days after the burial of her older twin, Scooby dies.”
“Who cares about Sabrina.” “I do, she was my best friend!” “You’ve got a point.”
“Things aren’t looking up for her right now. We should be there to support her.” “Don’t forget, she went to Cleveland to go back to college.”
“I heard from one of her professors, that she’s tried killing herself, three times in one week.” “Let’s go see her.”
“What about Mysteries Inc?” “There was a Mysteries Inc. Sabrina, Freddy, Daphne and Velma. Scooby too. They went out of business after two years of solving mysteries. And being sued occasionally. Now, our last person.”
They now stood inside of a college dorm room. “That’s Velma!” Shaggy said, pointing to her at her computer desk.
“After the death of her twin, and of Scooby, she, in depression herself, went back to college. Most of her peers will find her dead next week. She vowed that she would die of the exact same thing that ended her sister’s short-lived life. A drug overdose, the same anti-depressant.”
“What?” “Yep. She became the next one to die. She wanted to join Sabrina while she looked young.”
“I don’t want to see anymore! Return me to my body! Please! I don’t want to suffer anymore!”
Shaggy woke up from his strange dream, sweating heavily. He turned to his left. Sabrina looked peaceful, asleep next to him.
The sunlight filtered into their room. Shaggy turned to his right. The clock read six fifteen a.m. “I’m alive!” He cheered happily. “I’m alive!”
Sabrina woke up, groggily next to him. “Of course you’re alive.” “Do you remember us watching ‘It’s a wonderful life’?” “Yeah. Why?”
“I had the dream. Only that you and Velma committed suicide. Scooby died in a hit and run.”
“That’s nice.” Sabrina said, going back to sleep. Shaggy, after writing down his dream, went to sleep himself. He swore never to forget the dream he had.
