It wasn't everyday that the water signs expected to hear Skyler screaming in fear at his phone. In fact it wasn't like him to scream "NOOOOOOO!!!" at eight in the morning.

Carol jumped out of her motel bed and rushed Skyler on the couch. "Skyler?!"

"What happened here?" Sabrina walked out of the bathroom in a robe, rubbing her wet newly cut hair with a towel. When Skyler refused to answer, she turned to Pete nearby. "Do you know what happened?"

Pete shook his head. "No. Skyler never screams in fear much." He side-eyed Colin who tiredly rose from his bed. He knew that was a lie, Skyler did scream in fear- a couple of times actually. Just not in public. "Maybe he saw a bug on his phone?"

"Maybe he...." Colin rubbed his eyes and yawned, "he had a jump-scare?"

"Or maybe..." another voice whispered. The group jumped to find Phoebe standing behind them menacingly. "Maybe he saw a ghost. I heard something spooky happened in this motel."

Pete blanched. "W-wait, you aren't serious, right??"

"Phoebe... not now." Sabrina pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed. Of course, Phoebe would bring that up. Lately she had been talking about mysteries from a podcast she had stumbled upon. It kept her and Carol up all night when Phoebe told them about a case to the point that she is banned to talk about it.

Carol frowned. "Phoebe, we spoke about this. Please do not bring up anything spooky from those podcasts. You made a promise."

"Did I?" Phoebe crossed her arms and pondered. "Oh wait, I did. My bad."

"Either way," Carol turned to Skyler. "What happened?"

Skyler showed his phone. "Look."

The others examined the post. Pete crossed his arms. "Isn't that Gilberta's recent post?"

"When did Gilbert get green hair?" Carol zoomed the picture closer.

"He got it recently." Sabrina stopped rubbing her short hair. "Everyone has been getting new looks lately and posting it so he joined in."

"How do you know that? Did you play a part in that."

"I... no comment."

"Sabrina, don't you 'no comment' me."

"This ceiling looks nice."

"SABRINA-"

"What?" Sabrina glared at her housemate. "I just saw it on social media and... may or may not encouraged him to make choices on his own."

"So you are the one who told him to get green hair?"

"I never told him that, Ca-rol! I just told him that he's free to do anything. Do you need proof?" Sabrina dropped her towel on her assigned bed and took her phone off charge. "Hold on a second."

"Wait..." Colin interrupted. "I just noticed how you two look different than usual." Colin turned from Carol's shoulder length hair to Sabrina's new do which is chin length. "You two look really good!"

Forgetting their previous conversation, the two smiled. "Thank you."

"Guys, guys, guys. Back on topic." Phoebe clicked her fingers. "Skyler, are you telling us that you're scared of Gilberta's green hair?"

"What? No!" Skyler showed his phone again and pointing to something. "Look at the caption."

The group walked closer and squinted to read the caption.

"'A little something for someone in mind'?" Pete read aloud. "And you liked the post too." (the fact that even I am shipping Gilbert and Skyler 🧍‍♀️)
