Narrator’s POV;

It all started with a call the Ghostbusters got, there was apparently a ghost roaming around in a  country club causing chaos and scaring the members and staff for a while now and the boss was done waiting for the ghosts to go away on its own.

That’s where Phoebe met Beatrix, a daughter of one of the members, she didn’t think twice of her after they caught the ghost, they didn't even interact with each other besides a quick introduction by the boss at the beginning. But that small interaction was more than enough to get Beatrix hooked. That’s why she was walking to the ghostbusters headquarters with flowers in her hand, full of confidence until she saw it. Until she saw her.

Phoebe exited the headquarters, out of her uniform, but that’s not why Beatrix became furious. Phoebe had come out of the building  holding hands with another girl. She hid behind the wall, trying to eavesdrop. “So you want to go to the bookstore Phoebs?” Y/n asked, as they closed the door. “Yep, if you want we can get some milkshakes to go after and go to the park and hang out?”

“Perfect then!” 

Beatrix stepped away from the wall to look at them on the other side, her eyes immediately drifted to this girl. She could feel her whole body shake from the anger that was inside her, she clenched her fist, crushing the flowers in her hand as she stared at their intertwined hands. 

“Why is a library so tall?” Phoebe asks as they start walking, “Why?”

“Because it has a lot of stories” Phoebe winked at y/n, who giggled at the pun, her cheeks turning red. “I love your jokes so much. '' She turns to Phoebe, cupping her cheek and pulling her into a short kiss. When they pulled away Phoebe had a big grin on her face, their intertwined hands swinging slightly as they started walking to the bookstore.

Beatrix's eyes followed them until they took a turn, disappearing from her eyesight. Her grip on the flowers didn’t loosen, she took deep breaths to try and calm down. This wasn’t fair.

It just wasn’t.

She loved Phoebe, they had a strong connection since they first met and this..random bitch swooped in and stole Phoebe. She wasn't going to leave this be, she was going to fix this and win back Phoebe one way or the other. “Miss, are you okay?” Beatrix didn’t turn to look at the person who asked, she just threw the flowers on the floor, all the petals falling off, the stems of the flowers were crushed from all the strength used. She rushed off to go back home, she needed a plan immediately.

Trevor stood there surprised, he glanced down at the flowers and winced, whatever happened couldn’t have been good. He decided it wasn’t any of his business so he walked into the firehouse, forgetting the flowers as the petals flew away with the wind.

—

Beatrix flipped another page of the book she was reading, she let out a frustrated groan as she threw it away. The book hit a vase making it fall down and shatter from the force. A small knock was heard on her door a few short moments after, a butler opened the door, looking inside concerned “Everything alright Miss?”

“Do I look alright to you?!” Beatrix glared, grabbing another book next to her on the couch and threw it, hitting the wall next to her butler who grimaced. Beatrix clenched her fists, she had been reading about different ways to win someone over for hours and it all sucked.

They were all about winning someone over who was single and not someone who was in a..whatever those two had. She felt like vomiting just thinking about the word ‘relationship’ when it came to Phoebe and that stranger. It was all the same boring and repetitive crap. The same thing worded differently and it infuriated her more.

She kicked a pile of the books that she ordered for this situation, that were on the coffee table, out of anger. “Well, is there anything I can help with?” her butler, Milten asks.

“NO” She shouted, she never was the best at controlling her anger, especially when she wasn’t able to get what she wanted. 

“Alright then, if you need me I am a call away” 

And with that she was alone again, she grabbed her phone and lied down on the couch. Google had to have something that could help her. 

—

“You have a bit of whipped cream on you” Y/n points out, she leans in to wipe it away from Phoebe's face who blushed at the action, no matter how many times they were close, her heart still raced like the first time. They were currently sitting underneath a tree in the park, it was their usual hiding spot. There weren’t many people around here, it was farther away from traffic so there wasn't any excessive noise and it was peaceful. Whenever they didn't want to be disturbed during a date they came there. 

Phoebe kissed Y/n’s finger as a thank you for the help. “So how was your last call? You weren’t able to tell me last night, you were so tired.” Y/n asked leaning on the tree, Phoebe put her head on her shoulder, “It was frustrating, we were running around that random club for like two hours. Those ghosts were smart and knew we were there for them. We managed to catch them but it was all pure luck. We were spread out looking for them and-”

Y/n nodded along, listening carefully to what her girlfriend was saying, enjoying the peaceful moment, she reached out and started playing with Phoebe’s hair in a comforting manner. Phoebe seemed to relax at the gentle touch, as she continued to ramble. This felt right, perfect even, just being close and holding each other and talking, sipping on some milkshakes from their favorite dinner. Nothing but them in their little world.

This is her safe space, Phoebe is her safe space. She admired the way Phoebe moved her hands when explaining something and how she took a sip every now and then. 

“Luckily they have Ghostbusters insurance so it'll all get fixed soon.” Phoebe finished taking a long sip. “And you sweetie? How was your evening?” Phoebe asked  sitting up straight to look her in the eyes.

“I was with Lucky and Lars at the center, they found a problem while they were testing out the updated Neutrona Gauntlet. I was just watching them work and talking with them, when it’s safe I get to be the first one to try it out!” Y/N explained excitedly, smiling widely.

“Really?? That's awesome! Of course they picked the most skillful person there to test it out” Phoebe nudges her teasingly, “Please tell me how it goes, if possible i want to go with you”

“Of course you can, Lars said it should be fixed in a week or so” 

They stared at each other with soft smiles, enjoying the silence around them. When you’re surrounded by ghosts non-stop it can get pretty noisy and can overwhelm someone. That’s why such simple moments are one of their favorites.

“Do you wanna go see Podcast and Dr Ray after this?”

Phoebe hummed, “sure sweetheart, anything you want”. Y/n's cheek turned a light pink as her smile widened. Phoebe was just too sweet to her. Phoebe leans in close and kisses her cheek making them even redder. “You wanna see the Pufts again don't you?” Phoebe teases. 

“Not my fault they're adorable and love me the most”

—

The bell to Dr. Ray’s shop signaled that someone had just entered. Ray looked up at the new customer, “Are you the one that sells and buys weird ghost and witch things or something?” Beatrix asked, putting her hands in her pockets. Ray gave her a smile and nodded, “Yes I am, is there anything I can help you with?”

“Where’s your witch section or whatever it’s called?”

Ray pointed at the section, “right there, if you need any help-” Beatrix walked away before he could finish, “-call me”

Ray shrugged and turned back to the book he was reading. 

Beatrix looked at all the books, she glanced back at her phone and then back at the books. Her eyes lit up when she found it, she pulled out a book named ‘Potions and Spells done right’. She flipped the pages, “where is it..”she muttered to herself until she found it. “A love potion..” she whispered a smirk forming on her face. 

Desperate times call for desperate measures. 

She whispered the words as she read not wanting to miss a single thing. The bell rang again, signaling customers, but that's not what made Beatrix stiffen. It’s the voices that followed.

“Good afternoon Dr Ray” Y/n says with a smile, “Good afternoon Y/n, Phoebe” He smiles kindly “if you’re looking for Podcast he's in the basement”

“Thank you” Phoebe says, she squeezed Y/n's hand that she held as she led them down there. Phoebe missed it, but Y/n didn't, she didn't miss the glare a random stranger in the store sent her. ‘Probably some homophobe or something’ she thought to herself before looking back at Phoebe as they went through the door behind Dr Ray.

Beatrix’s eye twitched, she huffed and turned the camera on her phone on and took a picture of the recipe, she put the book on a desk and walked out, not saying goodbye to Dr Ray who paid no mind to it. 

—

“A tablespoon of rosemary..”

Beatrix muttered as she poured it into a small jar that was filled with a dark red liquid. She grabbed her phone and zoomed into the recipe, “I have to wait until tomorrow..” She rolled her eyes in annoyance, she closed the jar and poured some wax over it to seal it as instructed and put it on a window sill. “There should be some moonlight here later..”

A small sigh escaped her lips as she laid on her bed, reading the page. “What would I pour it into? Her food? Drink?” She mumbles, closing her eyes, trying to think, not even a few seconds later she sat up in her bed when an idea formed. “I could sneak into their headquarters when they are out on a call and do it there…”

She laid back down,falling asleep with a smile on her face, hopeful that the potion would work in her favor.

The next morning Beatrix wasn’t woken up by her alarm clock but by something else. She woke up abruptly by the multiple very loud ‘caws’. She turned to see Crows outside of her window, staring at her and the potion. Barely moving.

She stared in disbelief, creeped out. Slowly she stood up and walked over to the window sill, their eyes following her closely, observing every move. Her eyes didn't leave them either as she grabbed the potion and walked backwards to her bedroom door. Beatrix swung the door open and ran out of her room, slamming the door. That wasn't normal, crows don't appear outside her window ever. Weren’t they that type of bird who remembers faces? Weren't they a sign of bad luck or something?

She shivered at the thought, trying to forget about all of this. Opening the door slowly again, she peeked in to look at the window, to see them still standing there staring back at her, but out of nowhere they let out another loud collective ‘caws’ and flew away quickly.

“What the fuck” She whispered, questions swirling in her head, she ignored them for now. There wasn't any time for ridiculous things like this, she had to get dressed and start her plan.

—

Beatrix leaned on the wall of the headquarters, hearing the alarm ring loud and clear alongside the chatter of the ghostbusters rushing into the Ecto-1 and driving away.

She stayed there watching the car drive off until it was out of sight, when they weren’t visible anymore she stood up properly and walked over to the main doors, opening them slowly, and closing them when she was inside. Clutching her small bag that had the potion inside she looked around, taking in all the different equipment, wires, tubes and more. The staircase caught her eye, it had to lead to where they live. 

She walked them up glancing around, when she came up she immediately noticed the kitchen. ‘Lucky’ she thinks to herself with a small smirk. She enters the kitchen looking around for anything. She had to be careful, she couldn’t mess this up, she searched through the kitchen trying to find something, anything. 

After minutes of searching she didn't find anything, she couldn't pour it into anything that would change the color or that anyone else could drink and eat by accident. She grabbed her phone and read through the recipe, she leaned in noticing a small thing she missed.

‘When the potion is consumed, the one who wishes to be with them must be the first thing they see, only then can the love be directed at the wished person.’

Beatrix sighed in frustration, she almost ruined the plan because she was too excited to read patiently. She needed a new plan soon and one where she didn’t rush into it. 

The sound of footsteps coming up the stairs made her stiffen and her breath caught in her throat. She rushed, crouching behind the kitchen Island, hiding. She peaked out to see who it was.

Y/n walked in mumbling to herself, putting her backpack down on the kitchen island while staring at her phone. She felt a cold chill run up her spine, the small hairs on the back of her neck stand up. 

‘Somethings wrong’

She thought to herself, looking around, unbeknownst to her, Beatrix, a stranger, was glaring at her, watching her every move closely.

The sound of her phone ringing was what snapped y/n back from her search. She answered the phone, putting it on speaker, “Hey babe where are you? On a call?”

“Mhm, we're going to arrive in like ten minutes. The call is nearby, we're tracking the ghost right now, it’s not one of the smart ones.”

Y/n let out a small snicker at the comment, “Okay then, I just arrived at the firehouse, are you still up for ice cream today?” she asked leaning on the kitchen island “We don’t have to if you don't want to, we can always go another day-” her nervous rambling was stopped by Phoebe interrupting her. “I want to go sweetheart,” 

Y/n started walking away to the living room as Phoebe talked, now Beatrix couldn't hear them anymore. She stood up and tiptoed to the stairs, clutching her bag tightly. She needed to get out and wait outside, then she could follow them and do something there.

She opened the door and grimaced when it made a loud bang when she closed it. She crossed the street quickly, luckily for her not many cars were nearby. 

Y/n stopped responding to  Phoebe when the loud bang was heard, walking closer to the stairs, looking around. “Everything okay?”

“Yeah..everythings okay” 

That bad gut feeling she had, still there.

—

Beatrix waited, her eyes following the Ecto-1 as it was parked, looking away when her eyes met Trevors, who raised an eyebrow confused at the staring before walking in.

It took another fifteen minutes until Phoebe and Y/n walked out holding hands.

Again.

If she kept rolling her eyes this much they were going to get stuck. She started following them from a distance, trying to figure out where they were going. Pulling out her phone she googled a few ice cream parlors in new york. 

“Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, that has to be it..” muttering to herself, they were walking in that direction. She googled the fastest way and stopped a taxi. She didn’t have the time for her butler to pick her up and drive her. 

Arriving 5 minutes later she exited the car and walked in, looking around. How was she going to sneak into the back? She could try to pay them off..probably won't work.

There was barely anyone in the store, everyone busy doing their own thing. Beatrix watched as the cashier rushed into the back as they were called. No one was there, she glanced around once more before walking through the swinging doors, grabbing a random apron and putting it on. Right on time as Phoebe and y/n walked in, coming over to the counter to order.

“What would you like to order?” Beatrix asked, smiling at Phoebe, not even glancing at Y/n who raised an eyebrow. 

“A Black Cherry Chip for me” Phoebe started and glanced at Y/n, who told them her order. Phoebe noticed the suspicious glances Y/n gave the cashier, so she pulled her gently to an empty table, slightly concerned.

“You okay?” Phoebe asked as they sat down, opposite of each other. Y/n glanced back at the cashier before answering, “I’m okay, just thinking” sending Phoebe a smile and squeezing her hand. Two ice creams placed between them abruptly and a bit hard made them jump. Looking up to see the cashier Y/n glared while Phoebe looked bewildered. 

“I’ll be right back, gonna go and freshen up a bit” Y/n smiles at Phoebe before giving the cashier a fake one. Beatrix walked back while Y/n walked to the restroom.

Phoebe picked up her plastic spoon and took a bite out of her ice cream. Different. It tasted different, Phoebe thought as she looked at the ice cream closer, “Here some napkins” Beatrix smiled putting them down on the table making Phoebe look up at her. “Thank you?” Phoebe muttered as she walked away to go back to her ‘post’. Phoebe stared at the icecream again confused, it tasted off.

“Sorry, I’m back now” Y/n said sitting down in front of Phoebe again who stared at her silently. 

“What?” 

No response as Phoebe kept staring, a smile appearing on her face. Y/n grabbed her cup taking a bite confused ”Babe, are you okay?”

“I love you”

Y/n smiled softly, “I love you too”

Phoebe put her crossed arms on the table leaning closer, admiring her, “You’re so beautiful you know that?”. Y/n bit her lip, putting her free hand over her mouth to hide her smile, “Thank you, you're gorgeous as well”

Phoebe reached over, pulling Y/n's hand away from her mouth, “Let me see your pretty smile, don't hide it sweetheart”. Y/n blinked, her cheeks turning a pretty pink. “I..I don’t even know what to say”

On the other side of the shop, Beatrix stared at the scene, utterly confused. Maybe the potion needed a moment? A tap on her shoulder made her turn to look, “And you are?”

She glanced down to see the ‘manager’ pin on their apron, they didn't look pleased “Shit.”. Beatrix took off her apron and shoved it in the manager's hands before running out of the store.

Y/n turned to look at the commotion with a raised eyebrow, “What do you think that was about?” Phoebe grabbed Y/n's chin gently making her look back into her eyes, “I don’t know and I don’t care, you have all of my attention” Y/n blinked at the boldness, her blushing cheeks darkening in color.

—

“Not that I mind you and me being close, quite the opposite actually, but you’re just..a bit more cuddly today and I wanted to ask if there's a reason why?” Y/n glanced up at Phoebe, they were lying down on the couch cuddling, with y/ns head on Phoebe's shoulder. “I just want to be close to you” Phoebe responds, sending her a small wink making a small blush appear on her girlfriend's face. “I’ll have to leave in like fifteen minutes babe, it's getting late”

Phoebe pouts pulling her in closer, “I’ll come back tomorrow again i promise alright?” Y/n promises, rubbing Phoebe's arm, receiving a slow nod, “alright fine but until then you can't leave my arms” 

“Deal” Y/n leans in kissing Phoebe's lips to seal the deal, slowly pulling away to look into her eyes. Her face turned into one of confusion when she noticed Phoebe's eyes having a light pink glow for a second before disappearing.

‘Must be the lighting..’ she thinks to herself, trying to find a reasonable explanation. She snapped out of her confusion when Phoebe blew air on her face, making her giggle at her nerd’s sillines. Forgetting about the pink glow for now.

—

Over the next few days, Y/n noticed three things.

Her sweet girlfriend was becoming..more cuddly and touchy. She didn’t mind Phoebe’s affection or attention, she didn’t mind being close to her and this isn’t anything unusual. They were dating after all. But it felt..different she couldn't explain it but it felt different.

There were certain times when she looked into Phoebe’s eyes, admiring them as she does and she would notice this..pinkish glow. She thought the first few times it could be the lighting because why would her girlfriends eyes have a pink glow? But now she doesn’t believe her former theory anymore with how often she's seen it.

She’s been seeing the girl from the parlor more and more. She also tried to reason with herself at first. It’s a big city and maybe they live close by? The ice cream parlor is near it would make sense if she also lived in that area. Maybe she just..didn’t notice her before because she didn't have a reason to. But over the course of these four days, she’s seen the girl..everywhere. She goes to the vinyl store for Record Store Day to get a special vinyl? She's there. She goes to a grocery shop to buy herself a snack? There she is, right around the corner. Even outside of her home, when she would go out or pick up a package, she could have sworn she saw the cashier disappear into the crowd.

All of this was weirding her out and now she's starting to think all of this is connected. Ever since they were at the ice cream parlor, Phoebe has been acting weird. It’s the only explanation she had. But she needed actual proof and so far, she had nothing.

Luckily for Y/n, she wasn't the only one noticing the slight changes in Phoebe’s behavior, Podcast could have sworn he saw a pink glow as well at one point. 

But today, finally her suspicions were confirmed. 

The day started out normally for y/n, since she was on summer vacation, she slept in, enjoying the extra few hours. She was planning to, as usual, visit Phoebe and Podcast for the day and do some fun paranormal stuff. She stood up, putting on her little dragon slippers and walking over to the bathroom to freshen up. Her parents weren’t home, the both of them leaving early for work, leaving her all alone to enjoy the peace.

Currently she was sitting on the floor in her living room, eating her breakfast while rewatching ‘The Owl House’ on her tv. “Canceled too early…” She mutters to herself before taking a sip of her drink, out of the corner of her eye she notices a call notification since she has her phone on mute, she picks it up, turning down her tv a tiny bit.

“Morning Podcast” She says taking another bite, “Morning to you as well, you do know it’s almost lunch time right?” he asks, Y/n didn't need to see him to know he had an eyebrow raised. “I do, everything okay?”

Podcast was silent for a moment. He leaned on his desk before speaking into the phone again. “Do you know why Phoebe’s been acting weird?”

“I have a theory but I don't have any hardcore proof to back it up” It was silent for another moment before y/n decided to break it,  “I’ve been seeing this..random girl everywhere and I have a bad feeling about it.”

“Wait, you've seen her too??” Podcast blurted out, standing up, “I’ve been seeing a girl everywhere and it's driving me insane.”

Y/n was quiet before describing how the girl looked to Podcast, to make sure it was the same person. “YES YES EXACTLY THAT'S HER” Podcast says, raising his voice slightly, glad to know he wasn't losing it. “I thought I was overreacting, she’s been everywhere. Maybe it’s some stalker? We are a part of the ghostbusters, we’re all over the internet.” Y/n stared at her lap, playing with the wings of her dragon slipper while thinking as Podcast rambled about the possibilities.

It was silent for a moment until Podcast broke it again, “What’s your theory?”

“It’s crazy and I don’t want to say anything until I'm sure because this might be a stretch and..even a bit insane. Dr Ray has a camera in his store, doesn't he?”

Podcast nodded before remembering they were on a call, “Yeah why?” “Do you keep the footage?”

“Yeah, but why?”

Y/n stood up and walked over to her room taking her phone with her, “I want to check something and that footage is either going to debunk or prove my theory and I’ll need your help.” She says opening her closet looking for something to wear, “Is it okay if i come over there in like..half an hour or so?”

“Of course, I’ll find the tapes, how long ago?”

“No longer than a week ago please”  Podcast starts walking over to Ray’s office where he keeps the tapes, “Will do, i’ll see you soon then” 

“Thank you Podcast, bye”

“Bye”

With that Y//n went to change into something comfortable and got ready for the day. She grabbed her phone, listening to a show as she put her dishes into the dishwasher. She grabbed her backpack before exiting her home, putting her earbuds in as she locked the door.

She arrived at Dr Ray’s shop in 37 minutes, the bell ringing as she entered. “Hey Dr Ray, is-”

“I’m right here!” Podcast appeared behind Ray, signaling her to follow, Y/n sent Dr Ray a small smile before rushing into the black. Podcast led her to a laptop on his desk, two chairs in front of it. “I was able to find the tapes quickly, what are we looking for?” 

They both sat down,Podcast pulling up the files with dates on them, “We’re looking for that stalker, I have a strong feeling she did something I just need proof”

Y/n pointed at a video file from six days ago, “that one.” 

The video started playing, Podcast pressed a button to speed up the time, “It has to be around late noon..” Y/n muttered, staring at the screen.

“There” Podcast muttered going back and letting the video play at a normal speed again. They could see the girl enter and talk to Ray before walking to a section, a few moments later Phoebe and Y/n appeared in the footage, passing the girl, “I fucking knew it” Y/n cursed, leaning in closer “I knew i saw her before but i couldn’t remember where exactly until you called me, look at her glare”

Y/n explains pointing at her, “What book is that?” Podcast paused the footage, zooming into the video, “‘Potions and Spells done right’..that's a spellbook, wait here” Podcast stood up and rushed out to find it, leaving her alone to think. What was this girl's plan? If her theory is true then how does she know Phoebe?

It took another minute until she could hear Podcast running down the stairs panting from how fast he was running, now sitting again, “Found it”

“May I?”

Podcast nodded, trying to catch his breath, Y/n opened the book flipping the pages. “What are you looking for?”

“A love potion” Y/n answered honestly, her eyes not leaving the pages once.  “Wh-Wait WHAT” Podcast yelled out staring at her baffled, “A love potion? Why? I’m so confused”

“I think she's trying to steal Phoebe from me” Y/n explains, booking back at the footage before looking back at the book, a small smirk appeared on her face when she found the page, “Look, this picture on the page lines up with the one in the footage, she was looking at a love potion” She showed Podcast who leaned in closer, to read the page. “Okay but how do we know she used it on Phoebe?” He asks looking up.

“She one, glared at me when we walked into the store and then guess what, the next day when me and Phoebe were on a date-”

“Aww” Podcast interrupts before coughing, “sorry, continue” Y/n smiled before continuing “We were on a date at an ice cream parlor and she was the cashier and she kept smiling at Phoebe and sent me glares and was acting all weird, then later on when i came from the restroom she ran out of the parlor and a manager was holding one of the aprons and that's when Phoebe slowly started to act different” 

Podcast blinked taking in all the information, “So you think she messed with Phoebe's ice cream?”

“Yes.”

“But how would she have known you'd go there?”

“She’s been stalking us for days now and has been everywhere, i wouldn't be surprised if that's how she found out” Y/n explains looking back up at the footage, “I know this is a reach but i want to check the footage at the parlor''. She turned to look at Podcast seriously, “I know it all sounds insane but-”

“I trust you” Podcast interrupted her, sending her a comforting  smile. “To the ice cream shop we go then!”. They put the laptop and book in their bags and rushed out, saying a quick bye to Ray who’s used to their antics by now.

—

“We need to see your camera footage from a few days ago, we think one of your employs did something to our friends food”

The manager stared at Podcast in confusion at the request, “What.”

“Please it’s urgent, we just want to make sure” Y/n pleaded with the manager who stayed silent for a moment. They sighed and shrugged “alright fine but quickly”

They turned around leading the two to the room, missing Y/n and Podcast high fiving excitedly. 

They closed the door behind them and stood behind the manager's chair, staring at the screen, “when?”

“This Tuesday, around 2pm” Y/n replied, receiving a nod in response as the manager searched the files and clicked on it. The three of them stared at the screen for a moment noticing a girl walking in “that's her” Podcast whispered.

On the screen Beatrix looked around before snatching an apron and putting it on, rushing to stand behind the cash register. “This little weasel” Y/n whispered, while the manager closed their eyes in frustration. That explains something.

“That’s me and Phoebe” 

Y/n and Phoebe on the screen order their ice cream and walk to an empty table. The manager  switched cameras to see what the girl was doing behind the counter. “Pause” Podcast asks, the manager did as told. “Right there” He pointed at the small jar that she was pouring on the ice cream. Y/n raised her phone to take a photo.

“Thank you so so much for this but we have to go now and deal with this.” Y/n muttered and nodded to the door and ran, Podcast right behind her while the manager kept staring at the footage. “I don’t get paid enough to deal with this shit”

—

“If she used a love potion why didn’t it work?” Podcast muttered staring at the recipe as they walked to the headquarters, “Is there maybe a second page?” Y/n asked.

Podcast turned the page and ‘oohed’.  “Oh yeah there is and I don't think she read it.”

“Why?”

He turned the book so Y/n could take a closer look, in big letters it said ‘WARNING; The potion doesn’t work as intended on a person that is already in love. The potion will only strengthen their affection.’

“Wow that was solved quickly” Y/n muttered, “But why phoebe? Where did the motive come from? What if it's someone from a call?” Podcast asked closing the book as they neared the doors of the headquarters. “We can always ask if they recognize her”

They entered, Y/n closed the door gently to make sure it didn't make a loud bang. The Ecto-1 was there, meaning they were home. Podcast and Y/n rushed up the stairs, being met with a confused pair of eyes. “Hi?” Trevor asked, standing in front of them holding a juice box. “Where's Phoebe?”

Right on que Phoebe appeared, sliding down the firefighter pole. “We need to have a serious talk” Y/n explained and was met with a tight hug. Phoebe wrapped her arms around her sweetheart, holding her close “I missed you” she whispered.

Y/n blushed a dark red and hugged Phoebe back, enjoying the warm and comforting brace. “I missed you too but we all need to have a serious talk love”

Phoebe nodded but didn’t let go of Y/n, who sent Podcast a pleading look. He immediately understood and rushed off to find Callie and Gary. “Phoebs you have to let go for a moment, we can hug later okay?” Y/n explained softly, rubbing her girlfriends back tenderly. Hoping she would let go for now and luckily for her she did, now only holding her hand with a small pout.

A few seconds later footsteps were heard coming up the stairs again, Podcast appearing with Callie and Gary behind him looking worried. “What's going on?” Callie asks, crossing her arms looking between them concerned.

Podcast pulled up his phone and went to messages to find the photo Y/n took of the footage, he turned his phone around for them to see. “Do you recognise this person?”

Gary leaned in making an ‘ooh’ face, “Wasn’t this girl at the call we had a few days ago? At that country club?” Callie’s eyes widened in realization. “Yeah you’re right but what does this have to do with whatever is going on?” Y/n took a deep breath to calm herself before answering “She used a love potion on Phoebe.”

It was silent for a moment as they took in the information, “wh-wha what do you mean a love potion?” Gary asks frantically, looking at Phoebe concerned who only stood there confused, giving her girlfriend a questioning glance. “You’re kidding but why?!” Callie cups Phoebe's cheeks looking her over. 

Trevor stood there staring at the picture, answering for them “She was jealous”. He noticed the looks he was now getting and stood there awkwardly, feeling both worried and angry at the situation. “The day after the call i ran into her outside the firehouse, she was angry and had flowers in her hands but then threw them on the floor and walked away, she might have seen you two together” He explained, pointing at phoebe and Y/n as he finished talking, he crossed his arms giving them a serious look.

“That was our theory as well” Podcast says out loud shifting in his place playing with his phone in his hands. “We have footage of her in Dr Ray’s shop, looking at a spell and potion book, there's also footage of her..putting it into Phoebe’s food”  

“So she dosed my child” Callie states breathing deeply, the amount of anger she felt was indescribable. Gary rubbed his forehead in frustration, “But why didn’t it work?” Trevor glanced at y/n and Podcast, “The genius didn’t read the second page, it has a big Warning on it about how it won’t work if they're already in love, it'll only strengthen their affection for their lover, aka me” Y/n explains squeezing Phoebe's hand for comfort. 

“It’ll luckily pass in like five moons, so tomorrow she should go back to normal and no damage will be done.” Podcast says quickly.

The Spenglers sighed out of relief simultaneously, “That’s some good news” Gary mumbles under his breath. Phoebe looked at Y/n with the softest eyes frowning, “I’m sorry”. Y/n turned her head and immediately stopped Phoebe, “No,no,no no no no, this isn't your fault, she's guilty for this and tried to do something horrible and it failed luckily.” Y/n put her hand on Phoebe's cheek gently.

“We have to tell Winston” Podcast states giving them all serious looks. “I’ll go and call him” Callie shakes as she grabs her phone and walks out of the room, Y/n sighs and pulls Phoebe into a comforting hug, who accepts it happily without any protest. Y/n rubs her back while thinking, her protective side showing its head with how tightly she was holding Phoebe to her.

—

Phoebe groans sleepily as the sun shined through her window waking her up. She tries to ignore it by cuddling her pillow again, she stiffened realizing it wasn’t her pillow she was holding. She opened her eyes to see Y/n sleeping next to her peacefully, she let out a small sigh of relief, holding her girlfriend closer admiring her sleeping face. Her whole body felt exhausted, like she had run a marathon. 

“Morning” Phoebe whispers with a smile when her girlfriend's eyes flutter open slowly “Morning” she replies weakly closing her eyes again for a moment, then she sits up and turns to Phoebe. “How do you feel??” she cups Phoebe’s cheeks gently, inspecting her face, concerned for her. 

“Very tired but better” Phoebe responds, putting her hands over y/n’s. “Don’t worry”. They stared into each other's eyes for a short moment, enjoying the silence. Y/n leaned in closer and kissed Phoebe for a few seconds before pulling away, sighing. “Alright, just so you know Winstons gonna deal with all of this and we’re just gonna need to answer a few questions later today.”

“So we’re free until then?” Phoebe asks with a small smirk, Y/n nodded and before she could say anything else Phoebe pulled her into a hug. “Then you’re stuck with me until then.” She mumbles getting comfortable, closing her eyes. “More like you’re stuck with me “ Y/n whispers nuzzling Phoebe's shoulder, a smile forming on her lips. “I love you”

Phoebe opened one of her eyes to look at y/n with her own smile, “I love you too” she responds giving her head a gentle kiss.  The both of them stayed like that until they had to get ready for the meeting.

Beatrix pulled at her hair as she stared at her phone, the recipe didn’t work at all. She’s been trying to think of a new plan since yesterday but nothing seems to come to mind. Her racing thoughts were cut off by a knock at her front door. Her butler rushed off to open it, his eyes widening when he saw who was standing there. A police officer raised a piece of paper, “There’s a warrant out for Beatrix Madden’s arrest, she’s going to need to come with us.”

Beatrix’s eye twitched as she turned back around and put her head into her hands. Well Fuck.

UPDATE; apologies for the delay, things came up and interfered with the writing but don't worry, i mostly have to finish up the ending and check for errors and then it will be posted.

The next one shot will be out in less than 24 hours (for real this time) As an apology I'll give you a small sneak peak by telling you the summery. :)

Summary of the request; When a certain someone falls in love with Phoebe, they'll do anything to get her, including using a love potion to gain her affection. But it backfires, horribly for them.

[theswiftieapple]

I've been trying to finish this one shot but i hit a writer's block this week and i just found out that Ghostbusters; Frozen Empire is FINALLY available in good quality and i think this just might give me that last boost to finish the story, I'll try my best that it does come out today I promise :)

[theswiftieapple]

Important

Small reminder for everyone who reads and requests for my one shots of Phoebe, it's an x reader ONLY, i won't be writing any melody x phoebe stuff. I started writing these one shots because there is very little Phoebe x reader content. Also i DON’T write for guy readers, only she/her and they/them readers. I 1. See Phoebe as a lesbian and 2. I don’t feel comfortable writing guy readers for various private reasons, please respect that and read my rules before requesting. 

I have nine requests in total and a few other ideas of my own right now, so if you do request I just want you to know it might take a moment for yours to be written and published. But I promise if the one shot follows my rules and I answer saying yes to it then it's added to the list and will be released when it’s done! Thank you for all the very sweet comments and support, I’m very happy that you liked part 2 as well. :)

Narrator’s POV

Y/n rushed into her room, closing the door behind her and leaned against it. Her heart was beating so fast she was worried it might explode any second. “I almost kissed Phoebe” she whispered, it all properly setting in now, she slid down the door and put a hand on her mouth as she let out a small squeal. 

“I almost kissed Phoebe Spengler” she repeats, she looks up at the ceiling, mixed emotions swirling inside her. On one hand, she was extremely excited, she almost kissed Phoebe, the Phoebe Spengler, her crush. She was so close to Phoebe, both in eachothers arms. Her mind keeps replaying the moment, trying to remember every detail, from how careful Phoebe held her to how they were so close that she could feel Phoebe breathing on her face. She hoped this was a sign that Phoebe liked her as well.

She was also scared, terrified about what this would mean from now on. Would they talk about what occurred? Or would Phoebe want to forget about it? Her stomach dropped at the thought. She put her head in her hands sighing, hoping this would all turn out alright. 

—

Unknowingly to Y/n, Phoebe was in a similar spot. She was pacing in her room, trying to process everything that happened or well…that could have happened if they weren’t interrupted. 

What would have happened if they were alone for a few more minutes? Would they have kissed or would y/n have pulled away? Phoebe stopped pacing, sighing deeply, she took off her glasses to rub her eyes. The what if’s were taking over her thoughts, she was this close. This close to kissing her and maybe they would have…gone on a date. Phoebe lets out a small groan out of frustration, she turns to look outside of her window from where she's standing.

They would have to talk about this, as soon as possible. Phoebe walked over to her desk and sat down and took out her notebook, trying to write down every single thought and feeling she had right now. 

—

“What do you think is going on with Phoebe and Y/n?” Gary asks while cutting some carrots, Callie looks up from stirring the sauce, “What do you mean?”

“Well they acted weird when we came back, all nervous and fidgety” Gary explains, “I’m just worried that they might have had a fight and didn’t want us to worry, I’m just concerned”. A small smirk formed on Callies face knowingly, “They like each other,” she says bluntly.

“Well I would hope so, Phoebe trained her so they spent a lot of time together, it could become a problem if they didn’t like each other, it could affect the team” Gary says putting all the cut up carrot pieces into a bowl, then he starts cutting some onions. “No Gary,” Callie stops stirring and puts a hand on his arm. “They like each other” Gary stays quiet for a moment, processing the information. He puts the knife down and turns to look at Callie, “They like each other?” He asks for confirmation, getting a nod in response, “They do”

Gary claps his hands hard from the excitement and puts them high up in the air, “Oh thank god, I was so worried they secretly hated each other… wait, how do you know?”

“When we came in they were all nervous just like you said, they were blushing, didn’t dare to look at eachother but they were standing very close, that makes me think we accidentally interrupted something” Callie points out what she noticed, turning back to stir the sauce so it wouldn’t burn. “Oh i feel bad now” Gary mutters, “They’ll be okay, they like each other a lot and it's obvious” Callie says trying to cheer him up. Gary starts chopping the onions again, a wide smile on his face, feeling proud. 

—

Dinner went by as usual, it was never quiet for too long which comforted y/n at the moment, she didn’t want to think too much right now. If she did she might turn completely red in the face from thinking about the memory. Phoebe and her kept sending each other glances during the dinner, if their eyes ever met they would both look away nervously, Phoebe also didn’t miss the teasing smirk Trevor wore the whole time, she only sent a glare back in return, trying not to bring to much attention to it. 

After dinner Y/n rushed into her room, Phoebe doing the same, both still not fully ready to have a conversation about what occurred. They both had a harder time falling asleep that evening, wondering what the other was thinking.

The next morning Phoebe was the first one to wake up, she played with her phone in her hand, lost in her thoughts. She was sitting all alone at the kitchen island again. She could barely sleep the whole night and when she did, her mind decided this would be a nice time to have vivid dreams of the events that happened last night and each time it ended the same way, no kiss.

She couldn’t remember ever being this…upset at a dream before, for ending so soon.

“Good morning” 

Phoebe's head snapped to look at the person she was thinking about, walking over still in her pajamas as well. “Go-good morning” Phoebe stuttered out, her cheeks turning red, in her head she cussed herself out for the slip up. “So how are you doing?”

Y/n asked, trying to act casual but on the inside her nerves were eating her alive, worried what Phoebe might think and say about last night. “I’m alright just a bit tired” Phoebe answered honestly, her eyes not drifting once from Y/n’s who was admiring her. ‘How can someone be this pretty?’ she thought to herself. 

“Couldn’t sleep well?” Phoebe hesitated answering, so she gave a small nod. “Were you that worried that I would mess up on the next mission?” Y/n joked, trying to see that smile that made her day. Phoebe shook her head, luckily for Y/n, with a smile, “You won’t mess up, I know you’ll do great.” Phoebe responded, her voice soft. Y/n smiled in return before sitting next to Phoebe,  only one chair between them. “You really think so?” she whispered, resting her chin on her closed fist. 

“I know so,” Phoebe responded confidently, “Besides I'll be with you the whole time, I won’t leave your side.” 

“Promise?” Y/n asks raising her pinkie finger, Phoebe didn’t hesitate to raise her own, intertwining them, “I promise”. They stayed like that for a moment before pulling away, Y/n bit her lip nervously, trying to form the right words “Phoebe, can we-” she was interrupted by footsteps coming down the stairs, she closed her eyes in frustration, Phoebe glanced at the staircase and took a deep breath, deciding to do something bold. She switched seats, now sitting right next to y/n, no chair in between them. 

Y/n looked at Phoebe with wide eyes and was about to question her but was cut off by Gary coming in. “Morningg” Gary sings as he enters the kitchen, walking towards the coffee pot to our himself a mug. “You two are up early” 

“Just excited for Y/n’s first day” Phoebe responds, nudging Y/n softly. Gary didn’t miss the glances and smiles between them, he raised an eyebrow while observing the scene as he poured them some juice. Callie was right, these two definitely liked each other more than friends. “What do you two think about Crepes for breakfast?”

“Sounds great Dad” Phoebe responds, Gary smiles proudly at the reminder of being her father and starts prepping. Y/n glances at Phoebe, nudging her back softly. 

“You know” Phoebe starts speaking with an evil glint in her eyes, Y/n takes a sip of the juice Gary poured for them, looking at Phoebe, asking her to continue with a nod, “Haunted french pancakes give me the crepes” 

It was silent for a moment but then the laughing started, Y/n put a hand on her mouth to hold some of the giggles in, Gary snickered as well while cracking some eggs for the batter. Trevor groans as he enters the kitchen, “Bad jokes being the first thing I hear in the morning was not something I wanted” he mutters as he sits down on a chair, leaning on the kitchen island, putting his head in his hands.“How the heck do you come up with these?” Y/n asks, her laughter calming down.

Phoebe shrugs, taking a sip, “But seriously don’t worry about today, juice be yourself.”

Trevor groaned again while Gary and Y/n shared another small laugh. Phoebe admired her while she laughed, her heart feeling full seeing her this happy, she hoped she could be the reason for that smile every day.

—

The day had so far been peaceful, no calls about any ghostly activities so Gary, Trevor, Y/n and Phoebe were playing the famous card game, Uno. Callie was there with them at the start but got called in to help Dr Ray with something important.

“Uno” Trevor says, putting a blue 2 on the pile, Phoebe glanced at Y/n with a small smirk. Gary put another blue card on the pile, y/n dramatically put down a ‘+4’ card on the pile, Trevor ‘oohed’ but shut up quickly when Phoebe put down another ‘+4’ on the pile, “color red” she says, sending Trevor a smirk.

Gary tried hard to hide his laugh behind his hand but failed, “HOW” Trevor groaned, picking up 8 cards, to his misfortune he had to keep taking cards until he finally got a red one, and by then he had 15 cards in his hand, “dammit”

“They’re teaming up, have you noticed that?” He turns to look at Gary, “i don’t know what you’re talking about” Y/n shrugs, picking out a card to put after Gary, “sure you don’t,”

“It’s not our fault we’re so in sync,” Y/n shrugs and high fives Phoebe, smiling. “Maybe you should actually think a tiny bit more when playing Uno” Phoebe shrugs joking, putting down a card. “It’s Uno, it doesn’t need any extra thinking, i just match the colors and or numbers”

“Uno” Gary states, only having one card left, Y/n put down a color change card “green please”, Phoebe put down a green ‘+2’. “Okay this is unfair” Trevor complained, picking up extra cards and putting one on the pile. Gary put down a color changing card “Unoo!” He cheered, high fiving each of them. 

“How’s it going?” Callie asks, walking in, putting her keys on a random shelf, “Not great” Trevor sighs sliding down the couch. “What about some cheesy fries for dinner? Would that make it better?” Gary asks, standing up, Trevor nodded and lied down on the ground dramatically, “yes please”

Gary walked off into the kitchen to start cooking for dinner. “Here let me help '' Phoebe tells y/n taking some cards, their hands brushed against each other, their eyes met. Y/n smiled softly, whispering a small ‘thank you’, their hands hesitantly pulled away, Phoebe cleared her throat and got back to arranging the cards into a nice pile. She could swear she felt electricity when they touched, it made her heart speed up.

Callie raised an eyebrow, a knowing smile on her face as she observed them, she walked after Gary into the kitchen.

Trevor stood up looking around, “where’s my phone?” he mutters and goes looking for it.

Now Phoebe and Y/n were all alone in the living room, Phoebe put the cards into their little box, she stiffened when she noticed y/n scooch closer to her a little, her cheeks reddening. “Have you seen those cool themed Uno cards?” Y/n asks, trying to start a conversation.

“The movie and celebrity ones?” Phoebe asks, avoiding Y/n’s eyes, if she looked at them she wouldn’t be able to look away. Y/n nodded, “I saw some new ones at the store recently, they were themed after that new Paw Patrol movie”

“Didn’t the movie come out half a year ago?” Phoebe asks raising an eyebrow, Y/n shrugs, “I think so,”

Phoebe nodded and stood up to put away the cards, when she turned back around she noticed Y/n resting her head on her arms that were on the coffee table, with her eyes closed. The sun was shining through the windows, illuminating her features. She smiled softly at the heartwarming sight. “What?” Y/n asked, opening her eyes, looking back at Phoebe. “Nothing, you just look…cute”

Y/n couldn’t remember if her cheeks turned a dark shade so quick before, “you’re pretty cute too” Y/n replied, admiring Phoebe from the floor, the sun was making her skin look soft and made her pretty eyes stand out. Phoebe walked back over and sat next to her on the floor, only a foot between them, they stared at each other with the gentlest eyes, the only thing that could be heard was the soft humming of the radio in the kitchen and Callie and Gary talking in the background. 

Y/n reached over to touch Phoebe's hair, pushing a few strands of her hair away from her face, “There, now I can see your pretty face”, her eye widen slightly at her own boldness, hoping that didn’t cross a line, she pulled her hand back but Phoebe stopped her, grasping her hand. Y/n’s breathing stopped for a second, looking at Phoebe's hand, holding her wrist, it felt like the warmth on her skin where Phoebe touched her, spread everywhere.

“Phoebe?”

Phoebe snapped out of her trance, trying to form the words “I-i’m sorry, i just.. Thank you and you didn’t have to stop” Y/n looked taken aback “With uh touching my hair i mean, i don't mind” Phoebe grimaced at her awkwardness, hoping that didn’t sound creepy. Phoebe’s own cheeks were a bright red, the sunlight shining into the room enhancing the redness. 

Y/n didn’t realize she was leaning in, they both stayed there, noticing every single detail about the other's face. Phoebe’s bright eyes had to be her favorite, her hand cupped Phoebe's cheek carefully. The small touch made Phoebe melt, leaning into her hand. Y/n smiled at the action, her thumb rubbing Phoebe’s cheek. Phoebe leaned in closer, observing Y/n’s  face to make sure she was okay with it, when she leaned in closer Phoebe took it as a yes, she slowly came closer, making sure to leave enough time for her to pull away if she was unsure.

Their lips only an inch away when the alarm rang, signaling New York needed the Ghostbusters. Phoebe closed her eyes taking a deep breath while Y/n put a hand on her forehead. This was getting ridiculous.

“Wait this is your first shift” Phoebe shot up straight, Y/n mirroring her when she remembered, standing up quickly “shit you’re right” she exclaimed excitement taking over, a small bitter taste was still there thanks to being interrupted again, she reached out a hand to help Phoebe stand up, who gladly accepted her help. Y/n gave Phoebe’s hand a small squeeze before rushing off towards the car, they were surprisingly the first ones to arrive. The others followed a few moments later. 

“Gary your apron!” Callie reminded him as he started to put his uniform on, Y/n couldn’t help but share a small laugh with Phoebe and Trevor as they walked into the Ectomobile. Gary stumbled taking the apron off before zipping on his suit and rushing into the front seat. “Thank you” He replies, putting his seatbelt on before they drove off. It was silent for a moment, leaving Gary to think and it made him realize something. 

“Callie call Dr Ray to check on our kitchen please.”

“Why?”Callie asked, confused. “I was so focused on turning the stove off I forgot about the oven and it’s not empty.” He sheepishly sent her a smile, Callie immediately dials Ray's number and informs him about it. “Where did they say the ghost was?” Trevor asked as his mom was on a call now.

“Apparently in Central Park.”

“Oh so a very small area to search through” Y/n says sarcastically raising an eyebrow, she remembers when Phoebe and Podcast brought her there for the first time, they managed to lose each other and it took over an hour to find each other again. Why an hour? Phoebe had given her phone to Y/n for safekeeping and Podcast’s phone died, comedic timing at its finest. Phoebe couldn’t help but let a small smile form, she noticed her brother sending her a look, glancing between her and Y/n, she sent him a glare in return, the teasing would never stop it seems. 

They parked and excited the Ectomobile, putting on their gear and started looking. “Is it just one ghost or more?” Y/n asks, “Winston said it was two,” Gary explained as they searched, “I think they might be over there” Y/n pointed at a group of people screaming and running away into the opposite direction, “just a hunch”.

They went in that direction and looked around, Y/n thought this would be a great time to say something funny so she turned to Phoebe, “Hey Phoebe” she whispers, trying not to laugh already, “what do you call a bear without ears?”

Phoebe turned to her curious, loving where this was going already “B” Y/n jokes, Phoebe couldn’t hold in a small snicker. 

A loud bang was heard, a ghost popped out of a trashcan making it fall, it was a weird grayish color, snacking on some metal. “Oh not this type of ghost again”  Trevor muttered, the second ghost was just…digging in the dirt for some reason.

Y/n blinked, processing what she was looking at, on one hand she was…well confused? And the other she reminded herself that she should be glad it’s not some godly entity trying to kill them.

They started to approach the ghosts, Phoebe and Y/n sneaked over to the one digging and Gary and Callie to the one eating the metal. And Trevor? His job is to distract the ghosts. He wasn’t exactly jumping out of joy at the idea.

The two pairs got into position, hiding behind trees, Phoebe and Callie both turned on their proton pack, pointing at the ghosts while Gary and Y/n stood ready with the traps. Trevor sighed and stepped out “Hey uglies!” He shouted, both ghosts turned towards him and didn’t hesitate to float at him at high speed, Trevor let out a small scream, putting his arms protectively over his face but luckily for him Phoebe and Callie hit the ghosts. Gary and Y/N immediately rushed and captured the ghosts. Trevor sighed in relief and put a hand over his heart. 

“Perfect catch,” Gary says, picking the trap up, “and no damage this time” Callie announces while high fiving Gary.

With that done they walked back to the car, the people that didn’t run away clapped and cheered for them, the Ghostbusters saved the city again.

—

Before Phoebe could leave to go and change into her normal clothes, Y/n called after her. She turned and looked at her curiously, “Do you think you have time to go on a walk in like 40 minutes?” Y/n asks, shuffling in place, her cheeks red. Phoebe smiled softly “of course, want to meet up down here?”

Y/n nodded and waited for Phoebe to leave the Garage before she let out a breath she didn't know she was holding, putting her hands on her hips she stared at the stairs leading up to the apartment, “I hope this goes well” she mutters to herself before walking up to her room to get ready for the short outing.

—

Y/n glanced up from her phone when she heard footsteps coming down the stairs. Her eyes met Phoebe’s, Y/n waved shyly, “Hi, are you ready to go?”

Phoebe nodded, “Ready as I can be,”

—

“So why did you ask me to go on a walk?” Phoebe asks “Not that I mind hanging out with you, that’s not it at all I just-I’m curious” Phoebe stumbled over her words nervously, putting her hands in her pockets to try and stop from fidgeting. “I wanted to talk to you” Y/n states simply as they enter a park, “It’s about…us”

Phoebe gulped nervously, nodding slowly “So uh what do you want to talk about?”

Y/n takes a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves, she plays with the sleeves of her jacket trying to remind herself it’ll be alright and it’s better to just say it before her mind changes it’s decision from all the anxiety and overthinking, “i want to talk about how we almost kissed last night..and today as well,” She refuses to look at Phoebe, instead focusing on all the trees and bushes they passed by. .

“Oh” was the only thing Phoebe managed to say, “wha-what about it?”

“Well…we almost kissed and-and that's not something just anyone does with a friend, sure some people and certain cultures greet friends with a kiss on the cheek but this isn't a kiss on the cheek, this is an almost uh...kiss on the lips and well yeah” Y/n rambles on for a short moment playing with her fingers, her heart beating what feels like 10 miles a minute. She could feel her cheeks turning redder with every second that passed.

Phoebe stayed silent trying to form an answer, her head was overflowing with so many different thoughts. Y/n stops walking and turns to look at Phoebe her hands shaking from the nerves “Phoebe I like you”

Phoebe almost choked on air at her straightforwardness, her own cheeks turning a bright red. “Like…a lot. I like you more than a friend” Y/n confesses, staring at her own shoes, biting her lip.  “And…since we almost kissed two times i thought you might like me back.”

Hands landed on Y/N’s shoulders making her snap her head up to look at Phoebe who stared at her with the biggest smile, “I like you too, a lot more than a friend” she says breathless as she admired Y/n, the sun going down casted a soft light on the both of them and it somehow made her even beautiful.

“You’re serious?” Y/n asks, grabbing Phoebe's arms, who’s hold tightened on Y/n’s shoulders. ”I’m serious” Phoebe spoke with her most serious voice so there wouldn’t be any doubts about her feelings, Y/n sighed in relief and pulled Phoebe in a tight hug, “Oh shit, i thought i was going to pass out from all that anxiety for a moment.” She mutters under her breath, hiding her face in Phoebe’s shoulder. “Well you didn’t luckily, even if you did i would have caught you”. They slowly pulled away from the hug, still in eachothers arms. “I even had pick up lines ready but i was to nervous”

“Pick up lines?” Phoebe asked raising an eyebrow “Now i need to hear those”

“What no, they're silly!” Y/N protests, shaking her head, “I like silly, pleaseeee” Phoebe begs with a small smile, Y/n sighed in defeat “Okay fine one pick up line”

She removed one of her hands from around Phoebe and stared at her palm, Phoebe had to hold in a small laugh “You wrote it down on your hand?”

“Yeah I did! I knew that I would be anxious as hell and forget!” 

Phoebe let out a small giggle, “Okay, okay, tell me the pick up line please”

Y/N cleared her throat, glancing at Phoebe once more before looking back at her palm, “Are you made out of Copper and Tellurium? Because you’re CuTe” she tries to wink and fails. Phoebe bit her lip to hold in her giggles. She could feel her heart doing flips from all the excitement,  “Is it that bad?” y/n asks grimacing, putting her free hand on her mouth. 

“Not bad at all, I like it” Phoebe replies winking, “Wait you said one pick up line..there’s more?”

“No.”

The reply was to quick, Phoebe smiles “There is another one, come on pleasee”

“No, that was the better one, the other one is…a bit too cheesy” Y/n declines, Phoebe stares at her smiling, “one more for now?” Phoebe tries to negotiate. Y/n sighs in defeat, she can’t say no when Phoebe is looking at her so excited, she looks back at her palm. 

“Are you a ghost? Because I see you being my Boo”

Silence.

Phoebe let out a small laugh, “I told you it was cheesy, you asked for it” Y/n shrugs a small smile forming again on her own face, admiring how happy Phoebe was, it made her heart swell with joy.

“I love it, really”

“Also I wouldn’t mind being your Boo” Phoebe teases, Y/n bites her lip, it was harder for her to breathe from all the excitement, “Well then Phoebe Spengler will you be my girlfriend?” 

“I will, will you be my girlfriend?” Phoebe asks, her whole body feeling like she was on cloud nine. Y/n's smile widens “I will”. 

They stared at each other, the happiness clear as day. They slowly leaned in, admiring every single detail they could see, Y/n glanced at Phoebe’s lips before going back to her eyes, they were only a few inches apart “Phoebe?”

Phoebe hummed softly,her eyes not drifting from Y/n’s eyes, the setting sun helping to bring out all the beautiful different shades of her eye color. 

“You have a pretty smile too” she whispered, Phoebe could feel small tears forming in her eyes from all the emotions she was feeling, her arms wrapped properly around y/n who cupped Phoebe’s face. Phoebe’s lips pressed against Y/n’s, who sighed into the kiss, it felt like a weight was off of her shoulder, she could have sworn her cheeks were on fire with how hot they felt. They pulled away slowly, taking a moment to regain their breath. “Finally” Phoebe mutters, making Y/N giggle, “Couldn’t wait any longer?”

“No, we were interpreted two times in less than 24 hours and it drove me insane” Phoebe explained rubbing Y/n’s back. “You can have those two kisses now then” Y/n replies leaning in again, kissing Phoebe on the lips two times. It felt like the whole outside world didn't exist, there were no problems anymore as long as they were close like this. The birds chirping in the background and the distant traffic being the only thing they were able to hear that wasn't their own hearts beating. “Better?” Y/n asks, playing with a strand of Phoebe’s hair.

“Much better” Phoebe whispered, leaning back in for another kiss.

Narrator’s POV;

The car ride to the Paranormal Research Center was one filled with excited chatter. Lucky was the one driving y/n, a new member of the Ghostbusters, to meet her new partners in crime. Lucky was the one to introduce y/n to Winston, they met when y/n moved with her family to the USA. Lucky was the one to help Y/n with a heavy box when she was moving in and they started talking. They decided to keep hanging out and Lucky thought y/n's personality would fit them great and she showed great interest in the paranormal. Winston at the time was already on the lookout for a new member, four may be the original number of the Ghostbusters but it's better to have too many than too few. 

Lucky introduced them and Winston got to know y/n, he could tell she had the potential and agreed. That’s how y/n got into this situation, walking to the  Paranormal Research Center, fiddling with her fingers, incredibly nervous. From what she heard the other members were nice people but that wouldn't stop the anxiety.

Lucky glanced at her friend sensing her fear, she put a hand on her shoulder to stop her from walking, the door only a few steps away. “Hey, don’t worry about this too much. You’ll do great and they’ll love you! If something does happen you can always come to me and Winston.”

Y/n turned to look at Lucky as she talked, some of her fear disappearing for a short moment. “We’ll stay friends right?” Lucky smiled reassuringly “Of course, would a hug help?” Y/N nodded to the question receiving a tight hug in return. They pulled apart and y/n sighed deeply turning to the door “Let's get the first meeting over with then” Playing confident she walked to the door, Lucky cheered and clapped her back, then she put her card near the scanner to open the large doors. 

—

“What do you mean by a new member?” Callie asked, confused. “Wait, does that mean one of us is getting fired?” Trevor asked worriedly.

“If so it’s probably you,” Phoebe said seriously, she was of course joking but her brother didn't know that. The little joke didn't calm Trevor who opened his mouth to protest but was cut off by Winston. 

“We have been looking for a new member for the Ghostbusters for months now, there are a few reasons why we wanted to expand the team. There are still many ghosts we need to re-catch even two years after they were all released again thanks to Garraka, another member would be able to help with that. I also think a new member would inject fresh energy and ideas. Someone with a different and new background would give us a new perspective on problems and help us solve things quicker. I genuinely do believe this could help the team.” he explained calmly, he seemed quite happy with his decision.

“Why didn’t you maybe warn us beforehand?” Gary asked, baffled at the information they had been kept in the dark from for months. “Well I didn't want to create any false hope, I wanted us to be sure that we found someone new that none of you know.”

“When are we meeting them?” Phoebe asked curious, there was a small part of her that was worried that the new member could betray them. She shuffled at the thought of Melody, she still has some trouble trusting new people. 

Footsteps were heard approaching the main doors including a small beep indicating someone was about to come in.

“Right now” Winston smiled as he turned to the door.

“Wait what” Trevor asked bewildered as he and his family turned to the door.

Lucky walked into the lab with a pretty girl next to her. Phoebe's eyes widened at the realization of what she just thought. 

“This is y/n! Y/n this is your new team” Phoebe's eyes stayed focused on her new team member as Winstron introduced them. “y/n this is Callie'' Callie smiled at Y/n shaking her hand gently. “This is Gary” Gary shot her a smile as well shaking her hand. “This is Trevor, Callies son,” 

“I’m the cool one of the group,” Trevor explained, shaking her hand while smiling proudly. 

Phoebe’s POV

“And this is Phoebe, Callies daughter”  My eyes met hers as we shook hands. I forgot for a second that we weren’t alone, so I let go and sent her an awkward smile, my hand still tingling from the feeling. Why am I feeling like this? Did I just call her pretty in my head? Why is my hand tingling like this?

I was so busy with these thoughts and observing the newcomer that I didn’t notice the glances my brother shared with Lucky, scheming glances.

“She’s new to this, so she is going to need someone to train her and I was hoping one of you could do it” Winston explained, “Phoebe could do it.” My head snapped to look at my brother, giving him a ‘what the fuck’ look. “Phoebe is the smartest one in our team” I could hear Dad whisper a small ouch, “she's the one who's been using our equipment the longest and they’re close in age! How old are you?” He asked y/n, “I’m seventeen-” She was cut off by Trevor clapping his hands, “perfect! What do you think sis?” Trevor teased, ignoring my glare as he put his arm on my shoulder. 

“I-uhm sure” I answered nervously, “Well that’s great then! She is going to be living with you, my men are already cleaning the empty room and assembling the furniture as we speak”

“What empty room?” Mom asked surprised, “There’s no empty room in the firehouse”, I could see y/n being confused like the rest of us except for Lucky and Winston. “The room behind the bookshelf next to Tevor and Phoebe's room of course”

“There’s been an empty room behind one of our bookshelves and you didn't tell us?” 

Winston shrugged at my dad, “I thought you all knew but didn’t use it” He said simply.

“What’s next, a second bathroom?” Trevor jokes, and the glance shared between Lucky and Winston speaks volumes. “ You’re kidding”

“Well then, that’s that, as I said my men are working right now and they should be done very soon. Y/n’s uniform and an extra proton pack and all the other things are being sorted as we speak. I’m just going to have a small talk with Callie and Gary about some things, you guys could get acquainted with each other during that time.” Winston signals my parents to follow him to another room.

Y/n POV;

“It’s an honour to finally meet you guys, I’ve heard a lot of fantastic things about you,” I tell them, the nerves still haven’t disappeared and neither has the excitement. I’m worried they won’t like me, I could feel Phoebe? I think her name was glancing at me. I have to admit she is quite attractive and cute. 

I feel warmth on my cheeks as I keep thinking about her. I can’t think like that about her right now, I just met her. Plus she’s going to be my teammate and that could complicate things. I’ll have to ignore this small..crush, if I can call it that, for now. 

“Thank you, I’m sure we’re going to have lots of fun together,” Trevor said with a small smirk on his face as he put his arm around me. I didn’t notice the teasing smirk he sent his sister or the glare she sent back. “So there is something I have to warn you about,” He said as he and Lucky led me to the famous Ectomobile with Phoebe following behind. “About what?” I ask, worried.

“It’s about a ghost called Slimer, he lives with us”

“What.” I state giving him a serious and worried look as we enter the car.

—

“I think I’ll stay clear of the attic then,” I say as we exit the car. The conversation did drift a lot in the car, I didn’t mind too much since it was nice observing and learning more about them. They all talked except for Phoebe who kept quiet for most of the ride. I could feel her glance at me a few times, she was clearly in thought the whole ride.

“Yeah that’s probably the smarter decision, you should have seen Trevor when he met Slimmer for the first time” Callie teased ruffling her son's hair.

“Mom!” 

“Well then as nice as it is talking with all of you, I am going to have to steal y/n here, I’m going to be the one helping her decorate and sort out her room. If you’ll excuse us” Lucky said, sending them a smile before dragging me away to my new room.

Narrator’s POV;

“What’s up with you?” 

Phoebe turned to look at her mom, acting oblivious. “What do you mean?” Callie came closer wearing a teasing look. “I mean that you’ve been very quiet since we met our new member, lost in thought.”

“And lost in her eyes” Trevor teased as he walked away snickering, Phoebe grabbed a random towel and threw it at him, hitting him in the back, and he scurried off after that. 

“Well your brother isn't completely wrong, everything okay?” Callie asked, her worry present in her eyes. Phoebe stared at her shoes, for a moment, “I’m alright, don’t worry about it Mom” She left with that, lost in her thoughts.

—

“So, you and Phoebe” Lucky started as she opened a box full of different books. “Don’t start” y/n warns, Lucky turns to her friend with a knowing look. 

“I have a very strong feeling you have a small crush on her.” 

“I don’t”

Lucky made a sound of disagreement while making a face, “Maybe not yet, but you feel something, I can tell” she sang the last part, dodging a small pencil case, her smirk not faltering.

“I know your type, remember you told me” 

“Yeah because we made a deal that you would tell me who you like in return, and that someone is in this building as we speak.” y/n teased back. Lucky opened her mouth to try and form words, her cheeks having a red hue to them. “This isn’t about me and that someone-”

“Trevor you mean”

Y/n snorted at the look she received. “As I was saying, this is about you and Phoebe and the small crush that's going to grow stronger with time, she is quite literally what you described your type to me, short hair, fluffy or curly, glasses, a nerd-”

“Yeah, I get it” Y/n grumbles as she puts her bed lining on, “can you help me with this?” She raises the comforter pleadingly. Lucky stands up and helps her even it out. “I just don't want to label these feelings since we just met, besides the chances of her liking me isn’t zero but it’s also unlikely right now”

Lucky put a hand on her friend's shoulder comfortingly, “As your friend it's my job to remind you that there is a good chance she may like you back” Y/n played with one of her pillows thoughtfully. “I don’t want to rush anything, maybe she will and maybe she won’t but thank you”Lucky smiled back at her friend, “Now where do you want me to put these CDs” 

Y/n smiled and showed her friend. 

—

Y/n’s POV;

Dinner went nicely, I mostly listened as the family shared a few recent stories about the ghosts they’ve captured lately. Phoebe was quiet through most of it. I could tell the way she was behaving wasn't normal, I noticed thanks to the small looks her family were giving her. 

I got comfortable in bed and stared outside the window, it was pouring. I hope I didn’t upset her with being here, if I did I could see why. I am a total stranger that just appeared today, she was then told I would live with her and her family at the same time. It’s a lot of new information and a lot of new changes. 

I turned on a show on my phone to fall asleep too. I lost consciousness In a matter of a few minutes, hoping tomorrow would go well.

—

I woke up to soft knocking, I turned around to look at the door, squinting to see who it was. “Good morning, breakfast is going to be ready in half an hour, I wanted to make sure you were awake.” I sent Gary a smile and muttered a small thank you and with that, he disappeared.

I sat up and stared at my lap thoughtfully. Today was my first official day as a Ghostbuster or at least a Ghostbuster in training. 

Phoebe was going to be the one training me, I’m already dreading the weight of the proton pack. With those thoughts I stand up and get ready for the day, dressing in something comfortable and doing my hair.

I walk out of my room and glance at the firefighter pole, it’s too early in the morning for that and I’m not in the mood to land in the hospital on my first day so I walk down the stairs. I was met with the sight of Gary cooking and Trevor stealing some of the fruit when he wasn't looking. 

“Good morning,” I say and sit down on one of the chairs at the kitchen island. “Good morning!” Gary smiled as he flipped a pancake, “Morning!” Trevor said with a mouth full of strawberries. “So how are you feeling about your first day?” Gary asked, trying to start a conversation.

“I’m a bit nervous, I’ve never done anything like this before but I am excited,” I explained fiddling with my fingers. “You’ll do great I’m sure! With Phoebe as your teacher, it’ll all go great.” 

I smiled and whispered a small thank you. “Do you need any help?” I ask, ready to stand up. “Nah, I’ve got this but thank you” Gary told me as he put the pan away, I could see him playfully swap Trevor's hand away from the cut fruit. 

“Where’s Phoebe?” Trevor asked, sitting next to me, he put his fist underneath his chin. “She woke up early, she’s visiting Podcast and Dr Ray, she had something to discuss with them. I don’t know what it is though” Gary explained as he put plates in front of me and Trevor, I took a sip out of the glass in front of me.

“So what do you guys usually do when there isn’t a ghost to bust?” I asked as I put some toppings on my pancake. 

—

Phoebe’s POV;

I opened the door to Dr Ray’s shop, “Morning Dr Ray” I said as I entered, he looked up at me surprised. “Morning Phoebe, you’re here earlier than usual”

“I wanted to talk with Podcast about something, is he here or?”

“I’m right here!” He said, his head poking out from the door behind Dr Ray, “ I'll see you later then” Dr Ray smiles and continues to read a book. I go in and walk after Podcast, “So what’s up?”

“There’s a new ghostbuster on the team” I blurted out. He stops in his tracks and turns to look at me. “There’s a new ghostbuster?” He asked excitedly, “Is that bad or?” He raised an eyebrow noticing my attitude.

I leaned against his desk before I continued speaking “It’s not bad, she seems...nice” I started, he did a hand signal telling me to continue “I’m the one who's going to be training her and well” I stopped talking not knowing how to continue. Podcast gave me a look.

“What?”

“You’re acting weird, does the idea of training her bother you or?” 

I shake my head “No, it doesn’t, I just feel..nervous” 

Podcast flings one of the Pufts that was bothering him as I speak before he responds “Why are you nervous? Are you worried she might betray us and release a great evil that we’re going to have to defeat?” He asks, I give him a deadpan look. “Listen if you are worried about that, that would be okay. I’m just trying to understand what the problem is here.” He reasons, sending me a concerned look.

I put a hand in my hair, messing with it. “That’s the problem, I don’t even know what's bothering me about this situation exactly. I met her yesterday and she’s staying with us now as well. She does seem nice, Winston and Lucky recruited her, I know they have good instincts but” I sigh deeply grimacing. “I don’t know, there’s some weird feeling in me and I’m worried about what it could be and what it could turn into.”

“You’re scared that you like her?” Podcasts asks bluntly, “I just met her, there’s no way I have feelings already.'' I protest, “But, the way I’m feeling right now, is similar to how I felt when meeting Melody, but it's also different. I don’t understand it and I hate not understanding things.”

There was silence for a moment until Podcast spoke, “Well I don’t think you’ll understand what that feeling is for a good while. You two just met, there could be special feelings involved but you won’t know for sure for a while. I suggest just letting those feelings take their course.”

“Why didn’t I think of that,” I say out loud, Podcast patted my shoulder “That’s what I’m here for, being the voice of reason”

—

I walked into the firehouse after having a long talk with Podcast. I still don’t like the idea of unknown feelings and I am worried about feeling something for someone again but there isn’t anything I can do about it. 

“Uno!” A collecting group of groaning was heard alongside a laugh. 

I walk into the room to see My family playing Uno with y/n and Lucky. “How do you win so much, this is the fifth time” Trevor whined, putting his head on the table. “Magic” y/n says jokingly doing jazz hands, “I have two other card games that I think you’d like” 

“Do you have ‘Frantic’ with you?” Lucky asked, but before she could answer the alarm went off, signalling there was a ghost loose causing havoc. “Hey Phoebs! Let’s go!”Mom said as she rushed off, Gary and Trevor following, “Hey y/n, we can start with the training when I get back” I called out to her, “Lucky and you could meet me at the Research Center after we bust this ghost” I say awkwardly shooting her some finger guns before turning around and walking away quickly, hoping the heat that I feel on my cheeks wasn’t what I thought it was and if it is then that they didn't notice.

Narrator’s POV;

Lucky and y/n cleaned up after themselves soon after and drove to the Paranormal Research Center. Y/n went to a changing room to put on her uniform. She walked out nervous, “Does it look okay?” She asked, Lucky turned around and gasped, “You look amazing!! Do a spin!” She asked excitedly while clapping. Y/n did as asked. 

“It suits you perfectly!” She said hugging her friend. “Thank you, you’re too nice”  Lucky pulled away, “I bet when Phoebe sees you in it, her jaw will drop” Y/n rolled her eyes playfully “We’ll see about that. So while we wait why don't you update me on that new ghost you’ve been studying on” 

Lucky’s smile widened, excited to share her new discoveries, she grabbed y/n’s wrist and dragged her to her working station.

Phoebe walked into the lab an hour later, fixing her hair from all the wind. She could see Lucky explaining something while y/n listened patiently, wearing her Ghostbusters uniform. Phoebe had to force herself to not stare for too long, so she walked up to the two of them. “And that’s why we had to make sure those two weren’t next to each other, I swear I couldn't focus properly the whole time” 

“Hey there, sorry to interrupt your conversation, but are you ready for your first training session?” Phoebe asks, standing in front of them.“Yeah, I am! We’ll continue with our talk later” Y/n told Lucky before turning to Phoebe again who led her to the small training room. “The uniform suits you, not many can pull it off”

Y/n turned to look at Phoebe surprised, a small blush on her cheeks, “thank you, you look great in it too” she says, hoping that wasn’t too straightforward. “So, Winston said you have no prior experience”

Y/n nodded, “I have never used any of this equipment, correct.”

Phoebe crossed her arms nodding, “alright then, first thing first is to put the proton pack on, you can put it on normally like a backpack.” Y/n did as told, she let out a little grunt at the weight.” I knew they would be heavy but wow, now what next?” she asked excitedly.

“You hold this part, the particle thrower, you can also call it a particle gun” The new member did as told before looking at Phoebe again nodding. “Wait, can I show you something?” Phoebe asked, she got a nod as a response. 

She stepped closer, only centimetres apart as she helped y/n hold it properly, putting her hands where they are supposed to be. “ See that ghost up there,” Phoebe asked, focusing on the task at hand, trying to ignore her own bubbling feelings. She was so busy that missed y/n staring at her face, a blush forming. “Yeah i-uh do” y/n responds, trying to focus as well.

She’s holding a dangerous weapon, she’s seen what they could do online, she needs to focus, she tells herself.  “Okay, I’m going to help you with this one and show you how to turn it on. Are you ready?” Phoebe asked, glancing at her, “Yes I am.”

“Okay you switch it on like this” Phoebe explained as she turned it on with y/n, “when you’re ready to shoot you press this button right here, on the count of three, ready?

Y/n took a deep breath in before answering “Ready”

“1” Phoebe starts, glancing at y/n.

“2,” She says tightening her grip, y/n tries to steady her breathing.

“3”

With that they shot at the ghost made out of wood, It falling apart in two. Y/n’s jaw dropped, “That’s how you’re going to practise, the actual thing takes longer and needs more strength but our priority is to perfect your aim for now, the charged particle accelerator is a weapon of science that can cause a lot of damage if used incorrectly and without proper practice.”

“First of all that was awesome” Y/n stated with a wide smile on her face, “two, I’ve heard of all of that, Lucky told me about some of your bigger damages. It’s impressive how something so dangerous can be something that helps so many people'' Y/n rambles, observing the damage with interest. While she was distracted Phoebe looked at all her features close up. She could feel her cheeks turning red from all the close proximity. She slowly pulled away crossing her arms, not knowing how to act.

“Well whenever you’re ready, you can start practising, I’ll be here the whole time, so if you need any help just tell me” Phoebe said while rubbing the back of her neck. Y/n nodded as another ghost came down, Phoebe didn't stray far, staying a few steps away just in case. 

Y/n took a deep breath before shooting, hitting the wooden ghost on the side, she stumbled backwards, and Phoebe caught her in time, holding the particle thrower with her. “Okay that was your first time on your own and it went better than expected.”

“Better than expected?” Y/n asked embarrassed, “Yeah, you’re doing okay, try again, I’ll stay closer to catch you if that happens again okay?” 

Outside of the training room, Lucky was observing their interactions with a small scheming smirk. “What are you smirking at?” Lars asked as he opened the spirit extractor, taking a spirit-free plushie out of it.

“No reason,” Lucky answered, ignoring the eyebrow raise of Lars, he shook his head and walked away to continue working. 

The training went on until 5 pm, y/n was exhausted after all the trying, her arms sore, but it was all worth it, the thought of capturing ghosts excited her. Phoebe opened the door of the training room letting her out first, y/n nodded and muttered a small thank you as she walked out. “Keep this up and I think you’ll be ready to go out with me- “ she cut herself off quickly, trying to correct herself “I mean go out with us on missions soon.” 

She tried not to look at y/n's face, she didn’t want to make it any more awkward.

As they were walking to the main doors, saying their goodbyes to the other workers, Lars called out “Y/n!”

The said person turned around to look at the scientist, “Lucky asked me to tell you that she’s going to come to visit and help out more with your room around 6 pm”

“Thank you, have a nice night!” 

Phoebe bit her lip for a second before continuing with their walk, Gary was picking them up today. She looked at Y/n who was walking beside her. Did..she and Lucky maybe have something going on? She turned around quickly when she met eyes with y/n.

“I hope not,” Phoebe whispers to herself, “What did you say?” Y/n asked curious, Phoebe straightened her back, she opened her mouth to respond but nothing came out. Luckily for her, Gary appeared with the Ectomobile, saving her for now.

“Hey there you two! Are you ready to go home?” He asked with a wide smile.

They both got in the car and put their seatbelts on, the car ride back was quiet, the only background noise being the music playing on the radio.

The evening wasn't much different than last night, Phoebe disappeared to her room and didn’t come out until morning, leaving y/n slightly confused and worried.

—

Phoebe sat on one of the chairs at the kitchen island, drinking some coffee while tapping her pencil on the island, thinking, trying to calm down. The idea of having to be so close to y/n made her giddy and scared her at the same time. 

She was worried she would make it awkward like last night if Gary didn’t appear when he did…

She sighed, putting her pencil and coffee down, putting her head in her hands, staring at the open notebook, full of scribbles, she couldn’t focus on her work. Her head was filled with images of last night, her heartbeat picking up remembering how close she was to y/n. She couldn’t lie, she missed the warmth of her hands underneath hers, they were soft. She let her mind wander, imagining how they would feel properly holding her hands.

“Phoebe, are you doing okay?”

Her hands slammed on the table making the coffee spill by accident, she turned to look at the newcomer. “Oh, hi,” Phoebe said brushing imaginary dust off of her shirt” Hi” she leaned on the island crossing her arms, sending y/n an awkward smile. “Hi”

In her head, Phoebe was cursing herself out, ‘three hi’s??’

Y/n glanced at the spilt coffee and then back to Phoebe, with a questioning look, before she could repeat the question, she got an answer.  “I’m doing okay, alright, doing great.” Phoebe cringed at her repetitive awner, Y/n walked closer, her face not changing. Phoebe put a hand underneath her chin, trying to act normal. “Are you sure about that? I called your name three times and you didn’t notice” 

“I was thinking,” she answered quickly. 

“May I ask what you were thinking about?”

“Science.”

Y/n blinked, staring at Phoebe, waiting for her to continue while Phoebe avoided her eyes at all costs. Deciding to change the subject, she pointed at the spilt coffee, “Do you maybe need help cleaning that or?”

Phoebe glanced at the spilt coffee before standing up and getting some paper towels to clean it up. “Right, right, you’re right”

“Alright then, I’ll go and..do a thing” Y/n said walking backwards before turning around to get ready for the day. “Oh good morning Trevor” and with that she disappeared up the stairs.

Phoebe cursed under her breath, “How much of that did you hear?”

“Oh you mean how much did I hear of your nervous rambling? Pretty much all of it” Trevor says casually, walking closer. “So, you and” he points his fingers behind him. “Ya know”

“There’s nothing going on” Phoebe defends throwing the paper towels away. “Nothing at all?”

“Nothing at all”

“Not even a smalllll thing” He pries, making his pointer finger and thumb almost touch. “Not even a small thing” Phoebe shrugs nonchalantly. Trevor nods, letting the silence settle before asking another question. “So, what science thing were you thinking about?”

Phoebe leans on the now clean island again trying to find the words, she sighed “I wasn’t actually thinking about science,”

“Then what?” Trevor interrupted. Phoebe sent him a glare before continuing “I was just thinking about all the things I could teach her today.”

“Y/n you mean?”

Phoebe nodded in response.

“Were you thinking about how close you’re going to be again today?” Trevor questions while picking out an apple from the bowl. Phoebe stood up straight but before she could retort, Trevor interrupted her “Lucky told me all about how close you were yesterday.” He informed Phoebe with a smirk on his face.

Steps were heard coming down the stairs, “We’ll continue this after your little date today” Trevor whispered. “Training” Phoebe corrected.

“Good Morning” Callie greeted, walking over to the coffee machine. “I need to get ready for the day,” Phoebe says, grabbing her pencil and notebook and heading off to her room. 

“Did I miss something?” Callie asked her son, pouring herself a coffee in her favourite mug. “Not much” Trevor shrugged, taking a bite out of his apple. 

—

The following days were filled with not only bettering y/n’s aim but awkward moments as well, or that’s what Phoebe thought, y/n thought her awkwardness was adorable. Phoebe also learned that Lucky, the traitor, was feeding her brother information daily about her and y/n’s interactions. Specifically the more ‘embarrassing’ ones. 

Phoebe crossed her arms thinking, watching y/n put away the proton pack, “I think you’re ready to train with real ghosts”

Y/n turned around “real ghosts?”

“Real ghosts,” Phoebe repeated.

A wide smile appeared on y/n’s face, excitement prominent on her face. 

The next day they were driven out to an open area. Trevor and Lucky stayed back in the car while they walked out. “The reason I want you to train with real ghosts before going on missions is so that you’ve trained with more than just a painted ghost made out of wood, some real experience. If anything happens I’ll be right here”

“I brought a few of the traps, they have different ghosts, you'll do one at a time of course. You’ll be the one busting it and I’ll be the one trapping it.” She explained as she put a trap on the ground, putting the foot pedal where they’ll be standing. “Are you ready?”

Y/n nodded confidently, raising the particle thrower, and turning it on.

In the blink of an eye, the ghost trap opened, and a big orange ghost appeared. Y/n cringed slightly at the look of it. When it noticed her she shot right at it, hitting it. She grimaced at the strength that was needed, it’s not as hard as she imagined but it’s not easy either. “Keep going, I'll wait a moment before trapping it, it usually takes a while for us to trap it after we caught it”

No response came back, y/n tried to focus on the ghost, and after a few seconds, the ghost was sucked into the trap.

“Good Job!” Phoebe sent a smile as she picked up the trap, “Oh my arms are going to be so sore tomorrow” y/n groaned.

“That’s the point of training, to improve your skills.” Phoebe reminds, “Oh really? I thought the point of all of this was to torture me” Y/n jokes, panting from what she just had to do. “I'll call it torture and you can call it training. Deal?

Y/n reached out to shake hands, Phoebe glanced at her hand before shaking it. “Alright then, deal.”

“Now this ghost is bigger, you ready?” Phoebe asked, putting a second trap down. 

“Ready.” The sound of the proton pack turning on again was heard. A giant ghost appeared. Y/n immediately shot at it, gritting her teeth as she held it back.

“So, a photon is checking into a hotel” Phoebe starts speaking, y/n turns her head to look at her confused. She let out a small yelp as the ghost pulled harder, luckily for her it didn't break free.

“What-”

“Keep going,” Phoebe tells her, “I’ll start again, a photon is checking into a hotel”

Y/n looked back at the ghost, it was a feisty one. “So the bellhop asks, ‘Do you need help with your luggage?’”

Y/n sighed deeply, focusing on the ghost, she shot Phoebe a few glances, ‘Is..she telling a joke right now??’ “Towards that, the photon responds ‘No thanks, I’m travelling light’” She winks at Y/n.

It was silent for a moment until a snort was heard, “alright that one was good” She says snickering, “Please catch it now my arms are hurting” Phoebe did as told, it being sucked into the trap. The sound of the proton pack turning off was heard, and she sighed in relief. “It’s one of my favourite jokes,”  she explains picking up the trap. “I can see why, it's good, but why were you telling me jokes right now? Not that I mind.”

“When we’re on missions, there’s always chatter happening between us, maybe some bystanders, and I wanted to test if you could focus while being told a great joke.”

“So does this mean you’ll keep telling jokes during training?” Y/n asks, stretching her head. “Would you consider that a bad thing?” 

Y/n looks at Phoebe, who is picking out a new trap, “I don’t think it's a bad thing, I like jokes and puns” she explains, she could feel a warmth creeping up her neck as she admired Phoebe underneath the sunlight. A small smile formed.

‘she’s so pretty’

“Well it’s good you don’t mind since I have many more” Phoebe says preparing for another ghost. Y/n looked away when Phoebe walked over. “Good to hear”

“How long do you think it’ll take until they start dating?” Trevor thought for a second before answering Lucky, ”eight maybe nine months max”

“I give it..three weeks, ”

“That’s quick”

“Look at them” Lucky points at the two outside of the car, training. Y/n was laughing after a joke Phoebe made, Phoebe stared at her with a smile, saying something they couldn’t hear from inside the car, but it had to be something funny considering the laughing wasn't stopping. “I bet you five bucks Phoebes using her jokes and unknowingly winning y/n over.”

“Five bucks?” Trevor asked, raising an eyebrow, “What? Five bucks is a lot in this economy” Lucky shrugged before putting a chip in her mouth.

“I think you’re ready to go on your first mission” Phoebe says, breaking the silence while they put away their gear. 

“Really?” Y/n asks excitedly, “Yeah, you did very well.” Phoebe smiles softly, “Plus you think my jokes are funny, if you’re with us then it won't be just Gary laughing at them”

“Ah so my sucking up worked” Y/n jokes, “I don’t think that’s what happened, you seemed genuinely happy and were laughing quite a lot,” Phoebe tells her, leaning on the locker. “I am an amazing actor” Y/n explains, Phoebe leans closer so they're face to face, inches away from each other. “Oh no person is that good of an actor, you even turned red from laughing, come on admit it, my jokes are hilarious”

Y/n tried to act casual, a small part of her was happy that Phoebe didn't realise she was blushing because of her back there as well. Y/n hums, pretending to think, before answering “They were alright”

Phoebe raised an eyebrow making y/n put a hand on her mouth to not let a giggle out, “They were alright?”, Phoebe got a nod in return, “you’re lying” Phoebe reasons, “I’m not”

“You are”

“No”

“If you aren’t lying, then there shouldn’t be a smile behind that hand” 

Y/N shakes her head, “Come on, remove it” Phoebe teases, she gets another shake of the head as a response, she could see y/n shaking slightly from holding in laughs. “Come on, let me see” Phoebe asks, grabbing Y/ns wrist softly, removing her hand to reveal a wide smile. “So you agree I’m funny.”

“Okay maybe you are” Y/n shrugs, just then realising how close their faces were to each other, her breath hitched, her eyes drifting to Phoebe’s lips for a second before returning to look into her eyes. Her wrist, where Phoebe was holding her felt warm, she resisted the urge to properly hold her hand. “You have a pretty smile” Phoebe whispered, lost in thought. ”It’s all thanks to you, being around you makes me happy” Y/n whispered back. 

The only thing they could hear was the sounds of each other's breathing and their own heartbeats. They leaned it close, eyes trained on each other, lips almost touching but before anything could happen they heard the Ectomobile from outside. They pulled away quickly, realising what they almost did blushing.

Callie walked in backwards helping Gary park the Ectomobil. “Oh hey there, how was training?” Callie asked, curious. “It went great,” Phoebe answers, clearing her throat. Callie glanced between them both, noticing the tension, both of them were blushing, Phoebe rubbing the back of her neck and Y/n had her arms crossed, refusing to look at each other. Callie made an ‘oh’ face, realising what might have been happening before they came home.

“I have to go” Y/n says quickly, “so do I” Phoebe responds, they both try to go in the same direction, but they both stop before Y/n ushered Phoebe to go first, walking after her. “Lucky just might win that bet,” Trevor states, him and Gary entering as well. “What bet?” Callie questioned.

“Uhhh nothing” Trevor shrugs walking up to the apartment as well.
