Test tube POV:

Huh...?

What's-

" ..oh- it's just... you two.... Infact, what are you two doing here? "

I'm frankly not bothered but better to be safe then sorry

" The lights went out- we were hoping lightbulb would go abit brighter for people afraid of the dark.. "

For a piece of paper who logically has a flat brain, he sparks up some decent ideas

" ah.. alright then, I'll just leave you two to it! "

They nodded

Lightbulb POV:

Where did everything go?

It was so sunny before

I don't like it it's dark and empty here

Hello?

..

Darn! Guess not

Huh?

What's tha-

" LIGHTBULB!! "

" wHa- hUH??- "

What the heckin' doodle?!

Guess I was just dreamin'...

" ...lightbulb you alright? "

" Huh? Oh yeah I'm dandy "

" You sure? You uh "

They paused

" Whats up? "

I can see them hesitating

What happened?

Paper finally spoke up

" You were.. uh.. well- not seeming to wake up.. at all..? "

" Oh, weird! "

" We were wondering if- uh- "

Paper looked at OJ and whispered something

Wonder what he said

Hmmm

Maybe it's something about how cool Baxter is-

" We were wondering if you could turn abit brighter, the lights went out and I wanna make sure people who aren't a big fan of the dark have some light..? "

OJ attempted to finish Papers sentence, preeeetty sure Paper was too embarrassed to say anything

" 'Course amigo! "

I noticed Paper took a sigh of relief

I attempted to turn brighter

No effect

" uhh sorry gimme a second here... "

Again, no effect

" Huh... weirdd... I can't light up anymore than this? "

They looked at me worriedly

More so than they should even in this sticky situation

" What's up? "

" You're- "

Paper attempted to spit something out and failed

" You're dimming even more "

" What? You mean like, I'm turning grey?? "

Test tube had been listening in and intervened

" Yes! Exactly "

She then walked over to examine what was happening

I feel tired

I think I wanna go back to sleep

Test tube POV:

Whah-

Is she..

Dozing off?! In the middle of a situation like this?..

..classic Lightbulb move..

" ..wait no this is worrying "

Paper looked over at me

" Huh? "

" Look, she's dozing off, but can we be SURE she's dozing off? Especially now that she's dimming. What if she's passing out!? "

OJ seemed doubtful of me

" Then go wake her up abit more, but I'm sure she's fine, Test tube, you're overreacting. "

" Well, gee! Sorry for making sure my friend isn't dying! "

He sighed and looked away and said nothing

I was in the right so there was nothing he COULD say!

..now what is going on with lightbulb....
