Alice paused the DVD and said, “Listen to yourselves.” she pushed play and let Bette listen to herself flirt with this girl she’d just met. She then heard herself telling Tina things she hadn’t even told Alice or Shane. This was beyond surreal it was just down right eerie.

Tasha was watching the video when she looked at their faces, “What just happened?”

“What?” Bette asked afraid she might’ve missed something.

“You guy’s color just changed. Did you see that?” Tasha said pausing the DVD and pointing at both of them.

“So what does that mean?” Bette asked looking back and forth between Alice and Tasha. “somebody better say something.” she said now standing.

“I’d never seen anything like it before Bette. You guys instantly clicked and the colors stayed that way as long as guys were flirting. I figured that the potion must’ve tapped into you guys’ hormones or desires. I don’t know.”

“What the hell do you mean ‘You don’t know’, Alice this is my life you’re fucking with. Everything is upside down. I can’t get this woman out of my head thanks to you.”

“Bette everything that happened is because it was supposed to…”

“Alice don’t give that grand design bullshit again! This is MY life. MINE! There is no planned out cosmic destiny we all follow!”

“Jesenia, wake up, baby.” Phaedra said shaking her with one hand while the other stayed on the wheel. Jesenia woke up groggy and hearing a loud engine, Phaedra’s voice was so faint she could barely hear her. She leaned over and yelled , “What?! I can’t hear you!”

Phaedra pulled over and turned off the engine, and Jesenia looked around because the loud noise had stopped. She looked back at Phaedra as she placed her arms on her shoulders and began to speak slow.

“Jesenia, your ear drums are really sensitive so I had to cloak them. You can still hear but just not as much.”

“Why?”

“Because they’re so new they’re extremely sensitive to noise, that’s why you could only hear the car and not me. When everything is properly healed I’ll remove the cloak and you’ll be able to hear just fine.” Phaedra said nodding her head hoping that Jesenia understood. The mutual head nod confirmed that she did. “We’re outside of Melvin’s village. Do you want to come with me?”
