Picture Day (Inanimate Insanity AU)

Blinded

Nickel's POV:

I went home and went to bed after a while of talking with Test Tube.

Honestly, I thought she was going crazy.

I mean, who was gonna believe that a camera teleported your friends to some sort of lab. It was unrealistic, but I promised that I would help her out, so I can't really back out of this now.

I was thinking about telling Baseball about this, but I figured it was best not to tell him. He would probably freak out or something.

If Suitcase were still here, she probably would've believed me. I don't care for her much now though, especially since she almost got me expelled that one time.

But anyway, I decided that it was best to keep it a secret for now.

I sat on my bed and started thinking about the situation.

If it really is real... Does that mean Balloon really did get kidnapped?

I sat and stared at the ceiling.

"Why should I even care." I scoffed. "I don't even like Balloon."

I kept telling myself that I didn't care, but deep down, there was this guilt lingering in the back of my mind.

I have to admit I had been kinda mean to him, and if he really was kidnapped...

No, he's probably just at home sulking over his sad life or something.

What am I saying... I haven't seen him around anywhere. I shouldn't be insulting him if he actually is in this situation.

I sighed and laid my head down on my pillow.

I struggled to find a comfortable position and rolled to one side, then ended up falling off of the bed.

I landed face first on the floor.

I then struggled to get back up. It was a bit hard without arms. I figured I should've been used to it by now, but apparently not.

I finally managed to get up and climb back into bed.

Almost as soon as I laid down, I fell asleep.

Turns out I was more exhausted than I thought.

[Next Day]

I woke up on the floor the next morning.

How did I not wake up?

I sat up and groaned. My head hurt.

I then got up and prepared to meet up with Test Tube.

We had agreed to meet up in the center of the city yesterday, so I had quite a ways to go.

I left the house and began walking.

After a while, I finally made it to the center of the city. There was a large tree nearby, so I decided to go sit in the shade. It was pretty hot outside to the cool grass was nice.

A couple minutes after I arrived, Test Tube finally made an appearance.

She waved and ran over to me, checking to make sure nobody was following.

"Sorry I left you waiting," Test Tube mumbled, "I was being chased again."

I gave her a confused look.

How can she be acting so casual about that?

"Anyway, since I lost my old laptop, I made a new one! If I can connect it to the camera, I can prove to you that I was telling the truth." Test Tube said with a smile.
