Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for September 16, 2021

I’d trade in the mute button for an off switch for my nose. Now that’s something useful.

“This is why I don’t mute you.” Isn’t that what Marigold did last week in a way?

My, Phoebe, are you in hot water.

Something tells me this is going to be a very fun arc.

Can’t they just time travel back to when Dakota was talking?

I think sooo… not sure.

There’s always a reason.

You could always use time travel to go back and hear what Dakota had to say. Wait, but she was muted, so you couldn’t hear it. In that case, you could unmute her so past Phoebe could hear the original message. But if past Phoebe knew, then you’d already know, so there’d be no reason to go back in the first pla—

Why do I taste pennies?

What’s the worst that could happen, Phoebe? Maybe Dakota will unfriend you?

Now how are we going to fix this?

Best option: have Marigold figure it out for you. That’s what best friends are for. Plus it will be hilarious to see her try.

Couldn’t they use another time travel spell to go back and spy on the conversation? Or maybe Lord Splendid Humility was hiding in the bushes and heard the whole thing?

i dun toad you not to mute me

She could always ask one of her cool friends, but they’re not exactly on speaking terms…
