| "Yes, the rumors are true. I have a fish on my butt" |
Sitting with grandpas and grandmas can be fun...sipping a cup of tea under the stars and listening to stories about the old days and how life was so simple back then, how technology never existed and how they had to travel miles just to get some oil for the lamp, otherwise sleep in the dark. Well, Scooby isn't that old, but nevertheless older than everyone in the family. He is regarded as the wise one, but then again, with a name like that it can't be helped.
One of the stories of Scooby the wise, one of my personal favorites at least, is the one when he first learned how to drive. Back in the day, when Scooby the wise was a teenage bear (a very mischievous one) his dream was to ride his dad's car. He would look for the keys everyday, and finally found out that his father would keep them in his bedroom, which was difficult to get in since his mother and father were asleep, and thats the only time when he could get the keys and take it out for a spin. Every day, Scooby the wise would look around and eye his father's keys, which he would usually keep attached onto his belt during the day, and wait for him to slip them onto the table and forget about them so he could take the car for a whirl.
Scooby the wise also had another reason behind his so called "car obsession". There was a girl in his town he was trying to impress...well all the boys were trying to impress her. She was tall, beautiful, gorgeous, and all the boys had a crush on her. Scooby the wise would see her around while running errands for his mother, but never mustered up the courage to ask her name. So he thought: "Maybe if she sees me in this car she would talk to me and not turn me down if I ask her out." Hence his obsession with getting his father's car keys.
One day, Scooby the wise was cleaning out the car (one of his weekly chores) and while on the job, was pretending to drive the car and practicing for when he finally manages to get it and talk to that bird he likes. He dozes off on that hot sunny day and starts day dreaming, with the soapy sponge still in his hand.
Scooby the wise is on the beach, in his blue and white striped shorts on his back on the hot yellow sand. He can hear kids playing around him everywhere with beach balls and making sand castles. Today couldn't get any better. Out of nowhere, he feels someone block his sun, and opens his eyes, only to find the most beautiful bear he has ever seen in his life handing him a glass of freshly squeezed lemonade with some ice and mint. She bends down and gives him a peck on the cheek and lies down on a towel right next to him. He takes a sip of his lemonade and lies back down, closes his eyes and holds her hand, thinking about how beautiful that moment is.
Scooby the wise wakes up to the sound of his father's footsteps and quickly hops out of the car and pretends he was cleaning all along. As he remembers his short but beautiful dream, he can't help but smile. It was perfect and he wouldn't change a thing if it were true. Scooby the wise's father comes and tells him to finish up and hop in to help him run an errand. Scooby the wise does as told and finishes up as fast as he could. On their way to Mr. Shingles, who owns a small hardware store, Scooby the wise sees her. She's right there, and not only that, she was looking at him. She was actually looking at him. He could not believe it, but at the same time he was thinking "don't you dare do anything stupid Scooby, don't you dare ruin this." The pass by her and she kept looking at him till she couldn't see him anymore, then went along talking to her friends on the sidewalk.
Scooby the wise was bored, and thought to himself: "I should go take a nap outside. It's nice under the tree and I could use a good rest after all of today's chores" and so he did. He walked towards one of the trees next to the river side, picked a tree he liked and sat under it's shade. The sound of the river flowing, the birds chirping and the wind whistling gently were perfect. Scooby the wise put his hat down to cover his face from the sun, closed his eyes and fell asleep. Little did he know that he wasn't alone. There was someone following him the whole time. All of a sudden, Scooby the wise hears a sound that wasn't a part of the relaxing noises he enjoyed. He heard the sound of leaves crackling like someone stepped on them. He got up and looked around. There was no one there. Maybe he was just imagining things. He then hears it again. This time even closer. He looks behind him...and there she was. The girl of his dreams.
"Hi" She said, bearing the most beautiful smile.
Her name was Shinkeh.
May the force live long and prosper \V/
