It had been a quiet morning at the Ghostbusters headquarters AKA the the receptionist was skimming through the latest copy of People magazine, Winston Zeddmore had gone out for a morning run,Dr. Ray Stantz was reading over the newest edition of Tobin's Spirit Guide, looking about as excited at a kid reading a comic book, and Dr. Egon Spengler was adjusting the settings on the ghost traps.
Meanwhile, upstairs, Dr. Peter Venkman was up to something as well.
He had went into the bathroom, and grabbed a bottle of shampoo from one of the shower stalls.
Peter the took the cap off the bottle, poured in some proxide from the first-aid station in Egon's lab, placed the cap back on, gave the bottle a few shakes and placed it back in it's original spot.
"I hope I have plenty of film and loaded batteries in my camera.
I can't wait to see the look on Ray's face," said Peter with a prank that Peter was pulling was his way of getting back at Ray from an incident that happened two days ago, when during a job on a farm in upstate New York, Ray accidently pushed Peter into a pile of manuer while trying to catch a ghost.
On the ride home, all the windows of the car Ecto-1 had to be kept open and nobody wanted to sit next to Peter.
Although Ray did apologized, he couldn't help but make a few wise-cracks about Peter's situation.
Now, Peter was hoping that Dr. Raymond Stantz will get a taste of his own medicine, as Ray's sandy brown hair will soon turn a bright shade of blonde.
Just then, Peter heard the sound of the call bell, meaning, Jeanie got a call, and the guys had a job.
He then raced to the firepole, slide down, met up with the other ghostbusters , as they all quickly changed into their uniforms, jumped into Ecto-1 and drove to their assigned call, which was at an Italian resturaunt.
About an hour or so later, the Ghostbusters returned back to the firehouse.
While the guys looked rather messy, as the effect of trying to catch a few roaming vapors in the kitchen of a well know eatery, it was Egon who got the brunt of it.
He was almost completely covered in pasta and meat sauce.
"Hey thanks again for pushing me out of the way when those ghosts dumped those meals all over you," Peter said to his friend and fellow ghostbuster.
I'm glad you appreciated that Venkman.
And please never of speak this incident again," said Egon.
"Hey look on the bright side.
Not only did we get a nice pay day, but a free meal out of this trip."
"Hey Spengs, why don't you take the first shower?
Winston and I will take the traps down to the containment unit," Ray called called out, as he and Winston unloaded the car.
"Thanks, I'll do that," said Egon, who walked passed Jeanie who asked,"My god, what happened at that resturaunt?"
"Don't ask," Egon replied, as he headed up the stairs.
A short time after the ghosts were put into the unit, Peter,Winston and Ray headed to get cleaned up as well, when Egon called out," Excuse me Raymond, I'm out of shampoo, do you mind if I borrow some of yours?"
"That's no problem Egon, help yourself," Ray answered.
"Thanks."
Peter then realized that Egon was about to fall into the joke that was setup for Ray.
"Hey Spengler, how bout using some of mine instead?" Peter called out.
"After using your after shave that one time, no thank you," Egon called back.
"What happened with that?" asked Winston.
"Don't ask," Ray and Peter answered at the same time.
A short time later, Egon exited the bathroom, fully dressed but still drying his hair with a towel.
"Shower's free for the next person," he said placing the towel on the bed.
At that moment, a look of shock came across the faces of Winston,Peter and Ray.
"Is something wrong?" Egon asked his fellow Ghostbusters.
"Uh Egon, have you looked in the mirror?" asked Winston.
"Not recently why?" Egon replied.
"Because you should right now," said Ray.
Peter meanwhile just stood speechless.
Egon disappeared back to the bathroom.
"What in the hell?" he shouted.
It was a rarity that Egon cursed, let alone yelled, so it did come as a surprise to his fellow Ghostbusters.
Egon returned back to the bedroom, looked at the others and said trying to be calm, as he pointed to his hair, which had gone from dark brown to a now bright shade of platnium blonde.
"OK, who did this?" he asked, trying to keep in a relaxed tone of voice.
"Hey I swear to you to you I have nothing to do this it," said Winston.
"Ray, what kind of shampoo is this?"
"Egon, that's never happened to me before," said Ray.
"Maybe it was a faulty bottle," said Peter, trying his best to look innocent.
Ray then ran into the batroom and came back seconds later with his shampoo bottle, took the top off and smelled the inside.
"What a minute, he said,"This smells like proxide."
Egon then took the bottle, sniffed it a bit and said,"It is proxide."
"Why would they put proxide in shampoo?" asked Winston.
"They don't."
"Unless somebody put it in there," said Ray, as he and Egon eyed Peter.
"If it's any consulation Spengs, it was meant to happen to Ray, said Peter, who then said,"Crap, why did I say that?"
Just then, the fire bell rang, which meant the guys had another job.
Peter let a sign of relief, but it was short lived when he got snake-eyes by both Ray and Egon.
"We'll finish this later when I get my hands on you," said Egon,before exiting the room.
"This isn't over Venkman," said Ray, as he left the room.
"Boy are you going to get it," said Winston, walking out of the room with a laugh, followed by a nervous Peter.
