*Case of the Confused Vampire Crusader*
by Jeanette Nelson
Natalie entered Nick's loft, looking around as she
struggled with the various items enclosed in her arms.
It was movie night and Nick was nowhere to be found.
Walking further in, Nick suddenly appeared behind her,
"Hi, Nat!"
Natalie let out a shriek as all of the items fell to
the floor, "I REALLY hate it when you do that, Nick!"
She gave the detective a smirk as she bent down to
start retrieving what she had dropped, Nick, already
starting to pick up the items, grabbed one of the
tapes that Natalie had dropped, "Scooby-Doo? What's
that?"
Natalie's jaw instantly dropped, "You have never heard
of Scooby-Doo?!?!?!"
Nick raised an eyebrow and looked at the coroner,
"Um...no." He replied sheepishly. Nat immediately
grabbed his arm and led him over to the sofa, "It's
one of the best cartoon shows there is. I use to watch
it all of the time when I was a little girl."
Nick watched Nat as she went to retrieve the other
tapes. Walking to the fridge, she grabbed a can of
soda and a bottle of blood for Nick, deciding she
would actually be lenient on the vampire and not make
him drink one of her 'creations' tonite.
Returning to Nick, she handed him the bottle and a
glass, then went to load the tape into the VCR.
Grabbing a pillow and her soda, Nat settled down next
to Nick and began to watch the video....
After four hours, and the tape still playing, Nick
just couldn't understand it. What was so exciting
about this Scooby-Doo? It had a talking dog and the
cases seemed to pretty much all be the same...chase
the villain, unmask the villian. Nick took a glance at
Natalie, who seemed completely enthralled watching.
Nick leaned his head on the back of his couch and
closed his eyes, taking a quick break....
"Fred!"
"Huh?"
"Fred! Wake up, Fred!"
Nick's eyes immediately shot open. Who was in his
loft, and who was this Fred? He turned to see Nat,
dressed in a Dark purple dress, lavender stalkings,
and a green scarf tied around her neck. Her head
seemed to be much redder then normal also. She was
sitting at a table, painting her nails, a bottle of
nail polish infront of her.
"What's going on Nat, and why are you dressed in that
ridiculous outfit?"
The woman's eyes narrowed dangerously, "Who is Nat and
what do you mean my outfit is ridiculous?!?!? My name
is Daphne...and you're Fred, remember!?!?!"
Nick looked down at himself and both eyebrows raised,
he was wearing a white shirt and blue pants, an orange
scarf tied around his neck. Suddenly, two others
entered the room. A very tall man, wearing a green
shirt and brown pants, looking a bit scruffy, and a
young woman with glasses, wearing an orange turtle
neck sweater and a red skirt...what was most shocking
was what happened next. A dog entered, a brown great
dane to be precise, and suddenly began to talk. Nick
scratched his head, this had to be some kind of sick
joke, some pay back by Natalie for scaring her
earlier, right? Just what in the hell was going on
here?
Suudenly, the young women with glasses bagan to speak,
"Alright gang, so far for this case, we've found a
wrench and a pair of bunny slippers. She held out the
items for all to see. "Jinkies, if my calculations are
correct, the person who has been robbing all of the
wherehouses should be coming in the door, right
about...now!"
Suddenly, a tall, male figure entered the room,
wearing all black, with a ghoulish mask over his face.
Nick had absolutely no idea just what was going on,
but he knew he had to do something. With one flying
leap, he knocked the man to the ground, pinning him.
The rest of the gang looked at him in disbelief, this
definately wasn't like Fred, usually, he would come up
with some kind of trap to trap the villain in, not
just tackle him to the ground. Fred was totally acting
weird.
"Like, are you alright, Fred?" Nick looked up, to see
the tall guy, Shaggy was his name if he remembered
correctly, staring down at him, concern on his face.
"Yeah, I'm alright." Suddenly, Daphne ran into the
room, followed by an officer, "Here he is, sir, the
man that you've been looking for."
Velma walked over to explain the whole case to the
officer, "You see, the man had used the wrench to open
the wherehouse doors and to open the boxes that
contained the bunny slippers. He was going to sell the
bunny slippers to people for double the price......"
Soon, Velma had finished explaining everything to the
officer and it was time to do the unmasking. Nick
walked up and pulled off the mask. Standing there,
with the cheesiest grin on his face that Nick had ever
seen, stood Lacroix. Nick's mouth dropped open,
"Lacroix?!?!"
The man turned towards Nick and raised an eyebrow,
"Who is this Lacroix? My name is George and I would
have gotten away with this if it hadn't been for you
meddling kids and that dog!" The officer smiled at the
group and with a thank you, and a coupon for a free
pizza at the local pizza parlour, took the man away. A
case well done, once again...
"Nick!"
"Hmmm?"
"NICK, WAKE UP!!"
Nick's blue eyes immediately shot open once again to
reveal a very annoyed Natalie, once again dressed
properly, staring back at him. "You fell asleep and
missed the last two episodes." Nat suddenly looked him
over and frowned, he seemed a lot paler than normal,
"Are you alright?"
Nick suddenly jumped up, out of his seat, almost
knocking Natalie to the ground. He grabbed the bottle
of blood he had been drinking, went straight to the
sink and dumped it down the drain.
"Nick...?"
Nick rubbed his eyes and shook his head. Never again
was he going to drink blood that had been left in the
fridge for over a week. Nat just looked at him,
concern etched on her face, "Nick, talk to me, what's
wrong?"
"I..I don't think you'd believe me if I explained it
to you, just tell me one thing, you haven't gone out
and bought some bright red hair dye and a purple dress
have you?"
"Um...no, why?"
Nick shook his head, running one hand through his
hair, "Never mind, just making sure." He walked back
to the couch and sat down, reaching over to kiss Nat
on the forehead, "So what other tapes have you brought
to watch?"
Natalie grinned at him, "Um....Scooby-Doo and the
Ghoul School and Scooby-Doo, Zombie Island."
Nick stood up, grabbing Nat's hand he pulled her up of
the couch, "Nick...what, where?"
"Come on, Nat, there's got to be a 24 hour video store
somewhere around here, and we're going to find it!"
