Confused Over Weirdness

[sensethevisions]

When Phoebe gets back from registration, she finds a weird message waiting for her on the dorm room phone. First off? She's thankful that Cole didn't get the message.

Second off...what the hell had gotten into Marty?

Phoebe shook her head in utter confusion.

Okay, she and Marty were friends...this was well-known.

She and his GIRLFRIEND Angela were VERY good friends.

Why in the hell was he hitting on her and talking about making out like... ferrets in heat?

Frowning, and furious on behalf of Angela, Phoebe left the room. She was going to find Marty and get some answers.

For his sake? This had better be because of a spell or a bite or something!

After not being able to find Marty, Phoebe makes a phone call of her own. And another.

Cole almost ran into Phoebe as she stormed down the hall. "What's wrong?" he said. "More student council stuff?"

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe stopped and looked at him. "Wha--no. Someone who knows better and is in a relationship is hitting on me."

[demonbelthazor]

...

"Who?" Cole said through clenched teeth.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe is too annoyed to realize that Cole is getting dangerously angry about the idea of a guy hitting on her.

"Fucking Marty! How could he do that to Angela?" She shook her head. "I'm going to strangle him."

[demonbelthazor]

And suddenly the message he'd gotten from Marty made sense. It had been meant for Phoebe, not him. Cole clenched his fist to stop the instinctive need to summon a fireball. Instead, he whipped out his cell phone and dialed Marty's number.

"I know how much you get off on staring at me, but I don't know what you think you're trying to pull by dragging Phoebe into this. Keep your hands off her or you won't like the results. You, me, and lots of blood, I promise."

Phoebe's jaw dropped when Cole threatened Marty. He really took this keeping her safe thing seriously.

"What has gotten into him?" Phoebe shakes her head as she decides to call Angela to give her a warning about Marty and Cole being pissed.

Damn it. Went right to voicemail.

"...hun? I really need to talk to you. Your boyfriend was hitting on me and left me a message about making out like ferrets. Cole is going to hurt him if he gets ahold of him right now...there might have been gremlins involved in this..."

[demonbelthazor]

Gremlins. That had to be it. Marty wouldn't be so stupid as to go after what was his. "Think I'll show up instead of you at this little rendevous," Cole said with a sly grin at Phoebe. "Don't worry. I won't hurt him. Much."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe frowned at Cole.

"If he was bitten by gremlins, it's not his fault Cole..." She sighed, knowing that arguing would get them nowhere. "Please, see if he's in his room. I'll check the old Study Hall to see if he's there. He needs our help, not fireballs."

[demonbelthazor]

"I'll keep an eye out for him," Cole said, "but I will make it clear that gremlin-induced fantasies or not, he'd better keep his hands to himself."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe kissed him. "Alright, love. I'll go find Angela."
