A similar grin appeared on Dixie's face. "Perfect. Thats a great idea Cynder. Shaggy, you and Sparx have to do everything we tell you to, for a WEEK. If not, you have to kiss each other, on the lips, in front of everyone, REPEATEDLY." All the color drained from shaggy's face. "WHY?" He sputtered. "WHY?" Dixie grabbed him by the scruff of his green shirt."Why? Because you guys played with our relatiionships, thats why! You considered them so unimportant, they were something to bet money on! I bet the next bet was to see if you guys could goad Cynder and me into kissing!' Dixie spat, "You're lucky you didn't involve Scooby in this, otherwise our relationship , cousins or not, would end, period. And then you guys would probably be back at your old place, with little food and less to do, except watch TV. How often has Scooby been in a serious relationship?'

Yo -you are the first.." Shaggy stammered. 'and he's my first, as well. I haven';t had time for much else besides performing on the Showboat. but if you guys had had your way, I'd be heading back there for good, no ifs ands or buts. That would completely crush Scooby, and it would be entirely your fault Shaggy! I doubt he'd ever really forgive you for it, either.I know I wouldn't.."

Scooby was staying silent in all this, for his own welfare. He had never seen Dixie this angry..
