Phoebe's hair was being blown backward behind her as she peddled almost as fast as she did when she was being chased by the government, because of hiding Eleven, and herself.

She sighed in relief as she saw her four friends standing by the bike racks, dressed in Ghostbuster costumes. Phoebe chuckled wishing she had her camera with her to take a picture of this. Once she saw them, and pulled up next to them, parking her bike.

"You're late," Lucas stated, crossing his arms over
his chest. "No shit," Phoebe states, running a hand through her windswept hair.

"For someone who has superpowers, you sure are late a lot," Lucas said whispering the 'superpowers' part. Phoebe shrugged her shoulders "it became a habit I guess"

"Where's your costume?" Dustin questions, motioning to Phoebe's body. Phoebe looked down at her outfit which consisted of black shorts, white converse, a t-shirt, and her yellow oversize sweatshirt.

"Because-"

"Woah, Woah, Woah, why are you Venkman?"
Mike asked Lucas, cutting off Phoebe.

"What?" Lucas asked, "Why are you Venkman?" Mike repeated, gesturing to the patch on Lucas's costume that read VENKMAN. Oh boy, another argument.

"Because I'm Venkman...?" Lucas states as if it
was the most obvious thing in the world. Mike shook his head, and gestured to his badge that also said VENKMAN, "No, I'm Venkman."

"Why can't there just be two Venkman's?" Will
suggests, "Because there's only one Venkman in real life. We planned this months ago" Mike explains,
before pointing at each of the boys.

"I'm Venkman, Dustin's Stantz, you're Egon, and you're Winston."

"I specifically didn't agree to Winston." Lucas
denies it, "Yes, you did!" Mike yells as Phoebe rolls her eyes. "I don't think he did," Will states, trying to break up the argument.

"No one wants to be Winston, man." Lucas sighs.
Dustin shakes his head, agreeing with Lucas as he
purses his lips.

"What's wrong with Winston?" Mike questions.
"What's wrong with Winston? He joined the team super late, he's not funny, and he's not even a scientist!" Lucas exclaimed.

"Yeah, but he's still cool," Mike states, shrugging. "If he's cool, then you be Winston."

"I can't!" Mike exclaims, causing Lucas to ask why.
"B-Because...."

"B-B-Because.... you're not black?" Lucas asks,
mocking Mike, narrowing his eyes at the boy. "I didn't say that!" Mike fires back, gasping. "You thought it," Lucas states, crossing his arms over his chest.

The two boys continued to argue while Phoebe and
Will stood and watched. They shared glances every
once in a while with each other and rolled their eyes.

None of them even noticed Dustin turn around to look at the yellow school bus that had kids exciting the bus without costumes. "Guys... Guys! Guys!"

The group walked up behind him and the boy's eyes widened as they realized nobody was wearing costumes except for them. Phoebe smirked and turned around to face the boys, "That, my friends, is why I'm not wearing a costume."

Phoebe pushes past the boys and heads into the school. She goes to her locker and opens it up,
putting some of her books inside. She closed her locker and she sees Max opening up the locker a few lockers away from her.

She smiles and goes up to her. "How's it going there, Voyager?" Phoebe asks, holding her book close to her side.

"That's not good, what's with the long face?" the brunette asked the redhead who shakes her head
and turns her way.
