The year is 2017 in the once quiet town of Coolsville Ohio. The gang is now all grown up and have all gone their own ways, all but Fred Jones and Daphne Blake, now more commonly known as Daphne Jones. Fred and Daphne wed on June 3nd 1996 in a quaint chateau by the ocean side. Only close friends and family were in attendance as they shared their vows. Velma was the maid of honor alongside Daphne's four older sisters accompanying her as fellow bride's maids. As for Shaggy and Scooby they were the best man and the ring bearer respectively. It was a joyous occasion as it was the beginning of Fred and Daphne's lives as a married couple, but everyone soon realized that it was the end of mystery incorporated. As I mentioned before Coolsville was a quiet little town but that has forever changed as soon as Trap-Co emerged from the ground up there. Trap-Co is a successful home security company that designs, builds, and sells various products that keep families homes safe from anything from home intruders to the common pest of annoying termites; their motto is most appropriately "If you can't catch them, we can trap them" with a 100% guarantee. The CEO and founder of this company was no other than Fred Jones; his experience and obsession with traps from catching monsters with mystery incorporated had fueled his passion for starting Trap-Co after earning his degree from Coolsville College with a degree in mechanical engineering. The success due to Trap-Co has made Fred an economically thriving man at a young age which has allowed him to live a rich and healthy life with him and his new wife Daphne Jones. If Fred's success wasn't enough Daphne also possessed a profitable career as a talk show host on her popular television program titled "Coast to Coast with Daphne Jones" which centers on reporting various news headlines across America. The Jones' fame and wealth from their accomplished careers allowed them to reside in a large historical manor near the countryside of Coolsville with the works such as staff and of course top of the line home security provided by no other than Trap-Co. The gang had now left solving mysteries and being meddling kids behind as they led their new lives, never again would the threat of monsters and ghosts fear them, not until now..

Fred and Daphne Jones never had the best childhood as Fred had never known his true parents and his adoptive dad was the mayor with no time to spend quality time with his son. Meanwhile, Daphne possessed both parents however with her being the youngest and least accomplished of them, at least in her parents' eyes, she was frequently forgotten about and only had known Mystery Inc. as her family. Knowing this most would never predict them having any children in the future; it made sense taking into consideration their busy lives that there would never be time to take care and raise a child. Well what seemed like the impossible occurred, Daphne and Fred Jones welcomed their daughter to the world on June 2, 2000 named Carter Elizabeth Jones, 'C.J' for short. Now most would assume that Carter was not planned and they would be correct, but the Jones' kept Carter and even though she was not raised by them, most of the time due to their busy schedules a male nanny known as Wilkinson would look after her, she was still loved, even though they weren't the best at showing it. Now being the year 2017 Carter is 17 years old, she has grown into a beautiful young woman with a tall stature, brown curly hair, freckles, and blues eyes. She is a junior at Coolsville Prep a private school and has taken an interest to science and math as she excels in those courses. Being an only child and growing up without her parents frequently by her side has caused her to have the disadvantage with being accustomed to socialization so she keeps to herself mostly. What she lacks in people skills she gains in intelligence as she is on the robotics team and a member of her schools national honor society. Her parents should be so proud of her, if only she told them what was going on in her life and if only they had the time. This story is about Carter Jones, about growing up with her interesting family situation, and the seemingly endless search of finding out who she is meant to be.
