SCIENCE LESSONS <A TESTBRUSH FANFIC>

< Jealousy Jealousy >

In the dream, I saw TestTube and Fan sitting next to each other under a tree holding hands, they looked like the perfect couple.
It's a dream, I shouldn't care.
But... why did I feel jealous, out of all things? Why did I want to be Fan?
No!
I grab my bristles and shake my head.
You don't like her, stop thinking as if you do!
You can't be with her you can't!
Fan and TestTube like each other! It's obvious!
Stop being jealous! You shouldn't like TestTube!
The sun suddenly disappeared, I look up from the ground and I didn't see them under the tree anymore.
The sun had disappeared behind the clouds, then a sudden wind came rushing towards me, followed by a shattering rain.
As thunder hit, I awoke and lifted my back up from my bed.
I look over to the alarm clock, ten am, I woke up late today, but I guess I needed it from not getting any sleep the night before.
I turn my head to see Fan's bed empty, of course him and Lightbulb would be awake by now, I push my bristles out my face.

I bet I look horrible right now, my eyes feel strained, I think I overslept. Oh well.
I took my mug out from under the coffee grinder, in the kitchen once again.
Suddenly Paper walked up to me, i snarled down at him.
He stretched out his trembling arms and handed me two leaflets, "We're having a late pool party tonight if your interested, give one to TestTube if you see her, okay?" Paper gave me a forced smile.
I grunted, looking at the papers, "Alright, Thanks." I say blandly, I guess I'm giving TestTube another visit today.
Well I didn't mind, I wonder what she's been up to.
I take a sip of my coffee and sweet relief comes to me, enjoying myself as I listened to the video games that can be heard being played in the main room down the hall.
"Lightbulb look! The vampire is awake." Fan joked, walking into the kitchen with Lightbulb on his side.
I chuckled, "Uh-huh, sure"
I rolled my eyes playfully.
"You feeling better then yesterday?" Lightbulb warmly smiled, her comforting tone filling my head, "Sorry if we made us shipping you and TestTube uncomfortable, me and Fan just wanted to have fun, we can stop if you'd like"

I take my mug away from my lips, still leaning against the counter.
I mean... I don't think I like TestTube, but all these sighs are telling me different.
I sigh, I'll just keep it cool for now, I'm not jumping straight to conclusions here.
"I mean, I don't want you guys not to have fun," I said slowly, being careful with my words, "Just don't make it that big of a deal, I mean shipping people is okay but like... locking people in a closet together as an example is a bit much."
I heard them laugh, at least I know I'm doing something right.
"Whatever you say, you going to see TestTube later? I heard Paper and OJ are setting up a pool party tonight," Lightbulb snickered, "You know what that means, we're gonna get drunk!"
Lightbulb did jazz hands, then looking at Fan, who was looking at his phone, then me.
"Oh I can't wait till you see this guy drunk."
I chuckled, "I can imagine, and yeah, I need to give her the invitation."

"An invitation!? For me!? Oh that's very flattering but I've never been to a party before." TestTube laughs awkwardly, I scoff.
"You've never been to a party!? What about Knife's party last year?" I put my hand on my hip, holding a latte since TestTube's lab is always low temperature.
Okay, I should've said this before, but I am in fact a coffee addict, don't judge me.
"I was sick remember? I had the flu and Soap made me isolate which was kinda stupid." She claims, smiling.
She was sitting down at her desk in the lab, typing away on her laptop.
I was sitting opposite her, watching.
But not in a weird way!
She didn't seem to mind it.
"What are you even working on that's so important we aren't doing my private science lessons?" I put my head into my palm, TestTube looked up at me from behind her laptop.
"Paperwork, plans, emails, the list goes on." She smiled, looking back down and typing again.
"Plans? ...for what?" I ask.
"Future experiments," She hesitates, looking up at me and continuing, "maybe to do with us."
Us?
I feel my face heat up a bit.
What did she mean by us?
Wait... Paintbrush, stop this nonsense!
She meant it in a friend way!
...yeah!
I could still feel the warmth on my face, and I didn't realise that she took notice of it, so I guess she took it as a indication to keep going.

"And from what I see it's already working." I hear her laugh, as she doesn't look at me.
Alright, now I actually begun to panic.
I take a sip of my drink, hopefully to calm myself down, luckily it does, letting me have a sigh of relief.
"Hey TestTube?" I ask her, looking down at my drink.
"Yeah?" It took her a moment to respond.
"Do you wanna... go to the party this time?" I stop myself from saying something I'd regret.
"Oh," She stopped typing, "If you want me to, I'll go, I need a break from all this paperwork. And a phew drinks shouldn't hurt."
My face brights up, for some reason this news gave me a warm feeling, and this time it wasn't because I was angry.
"Great, I need to get back to the hotel now, before OJ gets mad," I get up, pushing the chair out from behind me, I see her look back up at me.
"I'll cya tonight, yeah?" I do finger guns at her, she smiles in response.
"Alright Paintbrush." And with that, she looks back at the laptop.
I leave the lab and start making myself gradually back to the hotel.
I was actually looking more forward to this party now, even if I didn't know what it was around.

The sun still shining high, I walk into the hotel, and instantly make my way into my storage room.
I unlock the door and walk in, in my own little cave again.
I need to find a way on getting all my emotions out, so I suggested painting would be my go-to option.
And hey! Maybe it'll come in useful when I least expect it.

Night finally came, I walked though the hallway and out to the backyard, only to see multiple objects in the pool, some on the benches, and some sitting at the bar, some I noticed to be Lightbulb and Fan.
"Paintbrush!" TestTube said, suddenly gripping my shoulder.
"Hey! How are you feeling so far?" I ask, she smiled awkwardly.
"A uh- bit nervous, I don't know what I'm doing a this point so if you see me following you, don't judge." She sighed, and when she said nervous, she really did look it.
"Oh please, you'll be fine when we meet the others at the bar."

------------------
Party, party!
I'm just like TestTube, I haven't been to a party before in my life, and it's really sad.
Party's would be kinda like my battery drainer if I ever went to one.
