“Do you think that he’ll ever see me as anything more than just a pretty face?” The girl’s smile dropped, her eyes going to her friend. She hadn’t really spoken about her true feelings on the subject but it was starting to hurt more than she thought. “You really think so? Then why does it feel like I’m just like the extra. You’re the smart one, Fred thinks of the traps, Shaggy and Scooby are the decoys… Then there’s just me.” She exhaled heavily. Daphne tried to shake the negativity from her head and keep her thoughts on the cake. “Yeah, that’s what we’ll do.”

Velma resists the urge to roll their eyes. “You don’t need his approval to know you are more than just a pretty face. Anyone with eyes can see that!” Velma could not stand the thought of someone making someone else feel worthless just because they were dumber than bricks. “Daphne, you are all of those things combined. Haven’t you noticed not only can you come up with good traps yourself, but you are smart and can easily slip into the decoy role. You keep us all together.” Looking back at the cake, Velma gives their friend a small smile. “See? Great idea by Daphne.”

“One day I hope to convince him to just not like… Why do you two have the be the ones to make them all? I’m smart too, you know.” She said with a bit of a huff. “Orange and purple are just… So tacky though. I guess we can make it work though with Halloween coming up and all.”

“I know you are,” Velma says quietly. “You’re good at a lot of stuff, Daphne. Like...being the distraction. It’s a critical role to play. You probably put yourself at risk ten times more than any of us. Without you we would be screwed. And just because you play the damsel, doesn’t mean your weak or helpless. It just means you’re the bravest one out of all of us.” Velma didn’t like that Daphne was upset, but they didn’t think Daphne was just a pretty side piece to the gang. She was far from it. “A Halloween cake sounds good to me.”

“When you’re being creative trying is all you can do and it’ll be just great. Don’t worry so much.” She tried to get them to loosen up but her words weren’t working as well as she’d hoped. “What color scheme are you thinking? I’m seeing some definite purple.”

“That’s like telling Freddie to stop building traps.” Velma shrugs. “Purple is cool? I am more of an orange person, but you’re the one baking the cake.”

“How about I handle the baking then and you do the decorating? It’s about time you do something creative.” The redhead got to her feet, holding her hand out for her friend. “You read the back of the box, duh.”

“I can try.” Velma mentally smack themselves in the head. “Of course. Yeah. Lets do this.” They take Daphne’s hand, blushing for a moment before dropping it once they were up.

“You can, you just chose not to. Having some fun isn’t wrong.” Daphne watched as her friend contemplated her offer before squeaking out excitement. “Yeah, yeah, homework shomework. We have a cake to bake.”

“I suck at baking. I’m warning you now.” Velma sighs, getting up. “How do you even bake a cake?” They run a hand through their hair nervously. This stuff was not their specialty and Velma didn’t want to embarrass themselves.

“ i was asking you to go get coffee but never mind. you could’ve just said no. ”

“Oh. Yeah. Coffee sounds nice, actually. If you’re still offering.”

“Yeah, I really just don’t want to sit around for the next two hours in my phone wishing I had some company.” Daphne rolled onto her stomach, placing her chin into the palm of her hand. “Why don’t you just like skip that and we can do something else. I have cake mix in the cabinet.” 

“I can’t just skip my homework, Daph,” Velma explains, looking up at the girl. “You really want to bake a cake?” Velma thinks about it for a minute. “Fine. But then I do homework.”

“Well I must thank you for asking so specifically, my dear. Forward you request, so forward I grant. I would like for you to help me with a project of mine. All you’d have to do is stand still. Perhaps provide sufficient conversation.”

“What? You want me to stand still for an experiment? Are you going to harm me in any way?”

[veldinkley]

dangerprone--daphne:

“Oh my gosh, it’s not that hard Velm. Do you want to spend the night or not? I’m bored and lonely.”

“Spend the night?” Velma finally lets themselves consider their friend’s question, a blush creeping on their cheeks. “Sure. I guess I can do that. I just hope you don’t mind me doing some homework while I’m there.”

[veldinkley]

“I don’t understand what you are trying to ask me. You’re going to have to be a little more forward right now because this is out of my field of expertise.”

As soon as Daphne’s hand touched theirs Velma’s heart skipped a beat. They have been doing such a good job of staying away from potential danger, but when it came to Daphne they couldn’t seem to get enough of it. Following their friend to the school, Velma laughs awkwardly. “You are really excited about this.”

Daphne was excited to finally be getting Velma out and about. More times than not she found herself trying to convince them it was a good idea but not getting much father than that. “How can I not be? It’s sunbathing. I haven’t done that in ages. Not to mention I finally got you to agree to it which is my greatest accomplishment of the week.”

[veldinkley]

"You sound like I never do stuff. Which is illogical on account of the fact that I do a lot of stuff all the time. Like study the stars and work on solving the mystery of the dome.... Not to mention I hang out with you and the rest of the gang." They sigh. They figure if they talk more they won't focus on how soft Daphne's hands are. "Still.... I'm happy to spend time with you."

“You know what? I’ll take what I can get.” The girl reached out for her friend’s hand as she began to thug them back to the school. “I have sunscreen, don’t fret.”

“We should? Like what?” Velma would be lying if they said they weren’t interested. Even though they don’t see what’s wrong with living their life the way they have been. “I’ll do whatever, as long as it isn’t a sport.”

Daphne was a bit surprised to hear them agree, though the girl’s body quickly filled with excitement. “Well we could go shopping, we could go to a spa, or we could even sunbathe. Those are my kind of sports, not that there’s anything wrong with fencing or karate.”

[veldinkley]

"Shopping? Spa?" Velma sighs. That's the Daphe they know and loved. "I'm not so sure about the shopping or spa stuff. I mean, those are really not my scene. But I guess sunbathing isn't the worst. Though I don't really need to tan..."

“Daph, if I wanted fresh air, I would go to the park and sit under a tree and read. These sports are not something I’m very good at.”

“What’s so fun about sitting alone in a park? Velma you can’t keep living like this. If you won’t participate in the Olympics we should at least do something exciting together.”

[veldinkley]

"We should? Like what?" Velma would be lying if they said they weren't interested. Even though they don't see what's wrong with living their life the way they have been. "I'll do whatever, as long as it isn't a sport."

[veldinkley]

“Olympics? No thanks….If you need me I’ll be at home studying the stars or doing anything but physical-related activities.”

[pxnnyqxinn-deactivated20180524]

“It seems like you and I have similar thoughts on this. I am not one for sports either, however just because you do not want to participate in it does not mean that it still would not be fun to watch.”
