Ok.....you know how I mentioned in the last chapter that I am going to change a male character into a non-binary character?

Well, solve this first.

1) What letter is the first letter of the English Alphabet?

2) What letter is at the start of 'Love'?

3) Fill in the blank "A, _, I, O, U"

4) What comes after w?

Now put those letter and comment who the answer is.

If I say it is correct, then you are right!

Hi, future Musa here. The answer is Alex. There were a lot of responses and I wasn't able to reply to them all. Well done to those who got it right!

°+*:;;:*⭐*:;;:*+°

We all know what Phoebe is. She is a classical shipper that fangirls a lot.

Actually, I take that back. She is an EXTREME and WILD shipper that gets overexcited over ships and attempts to get her OTPs together so she can fangirl more.

But this time, Phoebe is on a shipping mission...and she dragged Colin, Pete and Sabrina into it. For some reason, Gilbert and Tyler were dragged into it as well but...eh.

I am sure you are aware who she is shipping.

"Phoebe," Sabrina sighed, "Tell me what this mission is about."

She along with Phoebe, Colin, Pete, Gilbert and Tyler were all hanging out in Phoebe'S room. Phoebe was spying on two familiar people.

"Did anyone notice something weird between Carol and Skyler lately?" Phoebe asked, "At school?"

"Hmmm....." the others replied as they thought back.

{In Science class before}

It was Skyler's turn to speak in front of the entire class. The boy was fidgeting cause he was nervous to speak about his topic.

Carol noticed and waved at Skyler. She then did a thumbs up with a smile on her face.

Skyler noticed and nodded. He turned to the class, "OK, Meiosis is when-"

And Phoebe was writing down a Carol X Skyler ship story in her shipping notebook.

{At gym class, before}

The 24 zodiacs were jogging up and down the gymnasium. They were doing the beep test and Carol and Skyler were still going.

That's when Carol accidentally tripped over.

"Ow...." the girl mumbled. 

She noticed Skyler jogging over and offering his hand to help her up.

"You ok?" the male asked her.

Carol held Skyler's hand and got up, "Thanks. I am ok. No bruises."

BEEP!

"Carol, Skyler, you are OUT! Go take a drink, good job out there." the coach called out.

Skyler and Carol nodded and they walked out together to get a drink......

And Phoebe took a picture of the two.

{In the hallways, at school, before}

It was after school. Carol and Skyler were hurrying down a certain hall. The two were both hurrying to get to their lockers. Skyler was carrying a book bag full of his things for his subjects. Carol, however, was carrying her pile of books in her arms.

That's when they both bumped into and Carol's books were sprawled across the floor.

"Sorry!" Carol cried, looking up at the taller male.

"It's ok," Skyler whispered. He knelt down and began to pick up Carol's books. He then got down on one knee and gave Carol the books, "Here."

"Thanks.' Carol smiled, helping Skyler up.

"No problem." the male smiled, "Uh... I'll see you later?"

"You bet." Carol smiled as she and Skyler walked off.

And... Phoebe emerged from a nearby Janitor's closet squealing at the picture she took of Skyrol.

"What are you doing?" a voice asked the girl.

Phoebe turned to find the school janitor, curious about why a pretty girl like Phoebe would emerge out of a Janitor's closet.

"Nothing!" Phoebe cried as she ran off.

{Now}

"WHY WERE YOU IN THE JANITOR'S CLOSET???!!!!" Sabrina asked.

"Cause it is an obvious ship." Phoebe replied, "Skyler and Carol do not know that the ENTIRE class ships them together." She then got into a whispered and giggled, "Even Ms Florence ships it."

"WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED.?" Sabrina asked. She walked over to Phoebe looking through the window, "What are you doing now?"

"The expected. Shipping." Phoebe replied. She smiled and turned to the other, "Carol and Skyler make such a cute couple."

"How do we get them together without making it obvious?" Colin asked.

"I already planned ahead with the help of Lizzy and Alex." Phoebe smiled. She ran to her bed and stood up on it, "We are setting up a restaurant date for Carol and Skyler!"

"YOU WHAT?" the others cried.

"And we are spying on them to make sure the date goes well and they get together. After all, we are the shipping squad." Phoebe winked, "WHO'S WITH ME?"

"I AM!" Tyler cried out.

"ME TOO," Gilbert added.

"US TOO BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO MAKE SKYLER LIVE ALONE IN THE FUTURE." Colin and Pete cried out.

Everyone looked at Sabrina who is still unsure. She then chuckled and nodded, "I suppose why not."

"GREAT! The date is tomorrow at this fancy restaurant in the evening, so it's Mission Skyrol ready for action!!" Phoebe cheered.

°+*:;;:*⭐*:;;:*+°

{The next day, in the evening}

"This is amazing.." Lizzy sighed as she looked up at the sign of the fancy restaurant. She then turned to Alex who was holding her hand, "You're the best for bringing me here."

Alex chuckled and scratched the back of their head, "Anything for the best girlfriend I've ever had."

"I honestly don't get why I am dragged here. And I honestly don't get why we are still waiting outside." Carol frowned, "Who are we waiting for?"

Alex was decked out in a black suit with a red tie. Lizzy, however, is wearing a long formal purple dress. As for Carol, she was told to deck out in a casual t-shirt and jeans with sneakers.

"You'll see." Lizzy smiled, giving Carol a hug. She noticed a familiar person in his black car. Lizzy's grin widened when she noticed it was Skyler (also decked in casual wear) arriving, "And here is our other friend?"

"S-Skyler!?" Carol exclaimed.

Skyler noticed Carol and he looked away, "H-Hey!"

"Ok, now that everyone is here let's go dine, shall we?" Lizzy offered.

"Great idea!" the other three replied as the group of four walked inside the restaurant.

Meanwhile... the shipping squad were watching from a bush while being dressed up in their outfits. Gilbert was dressed up as a janitor while Tyler and Colin were both dressed up as waiters while Pete, Sabrina and Phoebe were dressed up as waitresses. 

Pete was wearing a long blonde wig and he had makeup on his face which blended in perfectly. 

"This outfit sucks." Gilbert frowns looking down at his janitor outfit.

"Bro. This outfit is embarrassing." Pete hissed, referring to his waitress disguise, "Why am I a waitress? Why can't I be a janitor?"

"Why are you complaining? It's only for a god damn day.' Sabrina whispered.

"You guys know what you are doing according to the plan?" Phoebe asked.

"What plan??" Colin asked.

Phoebe sighed, "Gilbert will pretend to clean up the place while the others will pretend to serve the place. I already told the restaurant about this and they are fine with it."

"I will be a lonely bean," Gilbert whispered.

"And we don't care." the others hissed.

The shipping squad eventually sneaked into the restaurant. They looked around for Lizex and Skyrol. They ended up finding the two ships at two tables. Classic.

"Ok guys, you know what to do." Phoebe nodded.

The others nodded and they began to pretend to do their work. Tyler walked over to Carol and Skyler seated at a table for two, "Good evening you two. Pleasant night isn't it?" He got out a notepad, "Anything off the menu?"

"You look like my friend Tyler," Skyler mumbled.

"Oh?" Tyler asked, "I'm his cousin! Gregory's the name."

"Nice to meet you, Gregory." Carol smiled.

"Pleasure to meet you as well. Tell my cousin Tyler that I said, will you?"

"We will." Carol and Skyler nodded back. They both looked at the menu and frowned.

"I can't decide." Carol frowned.

"So.....many....choices..." Skyler frowned.

"Um.... would you two like some spaghetti? It's perfect for a night like this?" Tyler offered.

"Um....sure." Carol and Skyler replied.

The shipping squad were internally screaming.

"Two plates of it," Skyler added.

The shipping squad frowned....well Tyler plastered a fake smile.

"Very well," Tyler replied, taking note of the dishes and walking to the kitchen to tell the chef what dishes Skyler and Carol wanted. After that, he walked back to the shipping squad.

"You should work here some time Gregory." Phoebe giggled.

"Very funny Bee." Tyler sighed.

{Soon}

"GUYS! GUYS! GUYS!" Gilbert whispered.

"What now Gilbert?" Sabrina asked, appearing next to Gilbert. The others also appeared.

"Skyrol is eating spaghett!"

"And?" Colin asked.

"Shhh! You'll see." Gilbert whispered pointing to Skyrol.

The shipping squad hid behind some bushes. Meanwhile, Skyler and Carol were eating their own plates of spaghetti. They can both hear Lizzyy and Alex laughing loudly and talking to each other. Skyler looked at Carol and noticed something. He leaned forward. This, of course, makes Carol startled and the shipping squad freak out silently.

"S-Skyler?" Carol whispered, "Why are you so close to me."

"They are going to kiss!" Phoebe whispered with a squeal in her voice.

"I ship it already!" Pete smiled.

Carol was already freaking out from the fact Skyler is so close to her. Skyler frowned.

"You got sauce on your lips."

"O-Oh!" Carol blushed red, "Thanks. I thought you are going to kiss me."

Skyler blushed and sat back down in his seat, "There's something I need to get off my chest, that I feel like you should know."

"Oh?" Carol asked, "Would you mind telling me?"

Skyler blushed and he looked down, "It's just........I....like-you-don't-hurt-me-please."

"I won't hurt you." Carol blushed, "I like you too."

Cue the shipping squad squealing. Oh no.

"Really?"

"Mhm."

"G-Great! Um... I guess we better do this-" Skyler smiled, leaning in.

Carol smiled and nodded. She also leaned in. The shipping squad were taking pictures.

Gilbert, however, noticed something, "They are so slow...." He got out of his hiding place, "YOU ARE SLOW."

"GILBERT!" the others shouted.

Carol and Skyler jumped back in surprise and they turned to where the yelling came from. There they found the shipping squad. It was a failed mission.

"Phoebe, Sabrina, Colin, Tyler, Pete and Gilbert? What are you doing here?!" Carol asked.

There was an awkward silence. That's when Carol and Skyler noticed something. Skyler looked down in embarrassment

"Is this a set-up date?" Carol asked.

The shipping squad nodded back  Carol looked at Lizzy and Alex.

"Was Lizzy and Alex involved?" Carol interrogated as she gathered the evidence.

"Yep..." Phoebe replied.

Carol felt dizzy. She couldn't believe her own friends would try setting her up. Well....at least Carol doesn't have to worry about being lonely, "I think I want to go home."

"I'll drop you off." Skyler offered.

"Thanks." Carol smiled at Skyler. She turned to the others, "I'll see you guys later..."

The others frowned when they saw Skyler and Carol leave. Gilbert looked at the others, "So is it mission accomplished or a failed mission?"

  °+*:;;:*⭐*:;;:*+° 

Soon Carol and Skyler were driving back to Zodiac Street. Skyler was driving and Carol was checking on her phone. They could hardly believe what just happened. The two were sharing a really awkward silence.

"Thanks for driving me home." Carol smiled, "Really appreciate it."

"No problem." Skyler smiled.

"I honestly don't get our friends. They tried their best to ship us..."

"Mhm..."

"I mean it was obvious." Carol shrugged, "I have a gist Phoebe is behind it."

"Why would they even try?" Skyler asked.

"I don't know.."

They both arrived at House 8. Skyler parked the car near the driveway and the two sat in silence.

"I really appreciate today, and I must say they successfully did it." Carol smiled.

"Yeah, I guess." Skyler agreed. Carol laughed and opened the door. Before she left for the house, she looked back at Skyler, "Uh?"

"What?"

"You have sauce on your cheek by the way."

"Oh."

"Here, let me get it off," Carol offered, grabbing a tissue from the carry on packaging and wiping Skyler's cheek. She then giggled. "Yeah, the others are indeed successful in their mission."

"Very successful. Night Carol." Skyler smiled.

"Night," Carol answered

I think I screwed up on this chapter :p
