"Hey! Fan! What do you want for breakfast?"

Lightbulb the unicorn tapped his shoulder.

"Fan, are you alright? You've been in bed for a while," she asked.

Fan turned to face her. His eyes were red from salt water.

"Fan! Are you okay? Why were you crying?"

He rubbed his eyeballs. "I'm fine. Just tell me what's for breakfast. I'm starving!"

Lightbulb grinned. "You better go fill up that stomach then!"

Fan decided to make his way to the first floor. From his view, the downstairs table was covered in food. The diversity of nutrients wowed many. "Why is it only popcorn...?" Fan asked, confused.

"Well, I don't know what humans eat. And you seemed to like the popcorn yesterday, so here you go!" Lightbulb smirked.

"Uh, popcorn isn't exactly a breakfast food, well for me. What do you guys eat?"

Lightbulb went into the kitchen, then came back with a mouthful of stuff. She chewed it up slowly, then swallowed it.

"We got hay!" She grinned, "you want some?"

Fan stared at her. "I'll take the popcorn..."

"Wait, where is your friend?"

Lightbulb looked at him with another mouthful of hay. "Oh, ou meanf Phainti?"

"What...?"

Lightbulb swallowed her dose of hay. "Sorry. My mouth was full. I said: oh, you mean Painty?"

"Yeah. Whatever his name is-"

"They. Painty is a they. Sorry, I have to explain this to everyone around here," she pointed out.

"Oh... sorry. Where are they right now?" Fan asked.

"Pretty sure they're still sleeping. So, what do you want to talk about-"

A loud snore suddenly shook the house. Both the unicorn and the human jumped. "Yeah, you see... they're asleep," Lightbulb let out a chuckle.

Fan stared at the table. "Do you think... you can help me out with something?"

Lightbulb was curious. "What kind of thing?"

Fan sighed sadly. "Well... my friend was taken by some creatures the same day you found me..."

"Really?! That's terrible!" Lightbulb put two and two together, "is that why you've been crying?"

Fan nodded. "I want to go rescue her, if she's still alive. I don't know if you want to come with... since we literally just met yesterday-"

Lightbulb's face brightened. "I am so in! Being given a chance to adventure, of course I won't refuse," she laughed.

Fan's expression shone with hope. "You sure about this? I'm not gonna force you."

Lightbulb gave him a look of positivity. "100 per-cent!"

"Now I wanna see if I can convince Painty to come too!" She said.

Fan didn't know what to feel. He was about to embark on a quest with a unicorn by his side. Perhaps. It was quite possible.

Lightbulb galloped upstairs, and opened her friend's bedroom door. Paintbrush was lying down, snoring loudly. Lightbulb went up to them and began tapping their shoulder.

"Hey! Painty! Wake up! Painty! I have something to tell you! Come on! Hey!"

The taller unicorn woke. They weren't in a very pleasant mood.

"Lightbulb, this better be important. I was having a good dream," they demanded.

"Do you want to come with us on our journey?" Lightbulb asked with glee.

"W-what?"

"We're going to go rescue Fan's human!"

"Are you CRAZY?! You're going to trust this guy to take you somewhere that may potentially be dangerous?! Well, for your information, I'm not going. I'm staying here in my cozy home, safe and sound," Painty yelled at her.

Lightbulb made this face 😐 (WHY'D I USE A DAMN EMOJI-) and said, "okay, party pooper. Well, I'm going, and you can't change my mind!"

She left them in their room and rushed downstairs. "So, when are we leaving?"
