SCIENCE LESSONS <A TESTBRUSH FANFIC>

< "You'll Always Have Me" >

Me and TestTube sat next to Lightbulb and Fan, they greeted us instantly.
However.. Fan looked a bit weird.
"Hey guys!" He hiccuped, then planting his face into the table.
"Is he, drunk, ..already?" I grumble, hearing TestTube laugh.
"Uhm, kinda yeah. But it's very cooleo!" Lightbulb then put her hand out to the bar and ordered a round for each of us.
I mean, I don't drink often, because I can go kinda weird when I'm fully wasted.
The bartender gave us each a shot, and the smell of it instantly hit me, raw vodka? Has she gone insane.
But I guess I should let myself go for one night I suppose, I think I deserve one crazy night anyway.
"Go!" Lightbulb called out and each of us took our shots, that's when I realised after I took it.
I should have eaten before hand.
I cough, slamming the glass on the table and TestTube does the same.
Fan had drank his and now his face in against the top of the table.
"Wait... how many drinks has he had?" I point the Fan, looking at Lightbulb.
Lightbulb looked up at the sky for a moment, trying to think of an answer, as she went to open her mouth the DJ area suddenly turned on and music blasted loudly.
We covered our ears and I turned off, "Sorry about that!" Pickle yelled from under the DJ booth.
I roll my eyes, "I know he's had around two cocktails, one beer and now a shot," She looked at me, "He has a weak stomach."
"Cocktails! I'll take one!" TestTube's face brightened up, she lifted herself up and stretched her arm out.
"Do you think they have any non alcoholic drinks? I don't want this party to turn out what it was like last time." I laugh.
What I meant by that; was the last party which was Knifes, I got really drunk, which then led to one part of the area to set on fire.
Side note: I'm really... angry. When drunk. So that's why I tend to stay away from alcohol.
"Uh, yeah. Boring. I think they have some down the back." Lightbulb responded, I stood up from my chair and walked away.

When I came back, a dr.fizz in my hand, I noticed that most of the group had split up.
Lightbulb was in the pool, joining in with the water fight that Knife and Trophy had started.
Fan was dancing like a mad man with another drink in his hand, doing some sort of drunk duet with Cheesy on the dance floor.
And for some reason, TestTube was no where to be seen, this made me question a phew things.
I'm so stupid! I knew she'd be to introverted to come here!
I face palm, running up to Fan as soon as the dance stopped.
"Fan!" I gripped his shoulders, lifting him up from the ground, "Where's TestTube!?" I shook him.
He pushed himself out my gasp and hiccuped, "I think the opposite side of the hotel? She said she needed a breather or something," He then looked at Cheesy who was starting a new drunk dance on the dance floor, "Ayy! Leave some.." He hiccuped "Dancing for me!" Then he ran back to the dance floor, with a bit of his drink going on the floor.
Other side? ...I thought for a minuet, Oh! Yeah I get it now.
OJ had this bench near the entrance of the hotel for people who needed a moment, I wonder why TestTube needed to go there though.

I walk around the corner of the front of the hotel, and I see her.
The moon soaring at its peak, the crickets chirping away, this place was so different to the party on the other side.
Away from the blasting music, the endless crazy singing and mountain of drunks.
I heard her sigh, sat down on the bench looking out to the scenery.
It took me a moment to build up my courage to say anything, "TestTube?" I asked, walking more closer up to her.
I heard her flinch and turn slightly to me, "Oh! It's just you." She said in relief.
"What are you doing out here? You feeling alright?" I look down to my feet as I sat down near her.
"No no, I'm okay," She felt the rim of her drink with her finger, "Just thinking."
I look away from the floor and look up to the moon, "Thinking, ...about what?"
It took her a moment to respond, "Oh just stupid things, about how I've been feeling about certain people."
Certain people? ...Has she been thinking about the same things on how I've been thinking about her?
"And of course, future plans," Her smile quickly fades, "Sometimes being a scientist isn't always how you plan it to be."
I feel sorry for her, I really do.
But something in my mind told me to just open up to her, she's right here isn't she? No one here but us.
Before I could say something, she spoke again; "And all these past issues with Fan have come back to me, I guess I'm... afraid in a way?"
Past issues with Fan? What?..

"What do you mean 'past issues'? I thought you two were friends, ...close friends in fact." Now that the topic has changed, hopefully I can get the status on her and Fan's relationship, if she likes him or their just friends.
"I've never spoken to anyone about it, me and Fan kept it between us," She said slowly, "But we did date, I know, shocker."
I slowly sat closer to her, making sure to do it slowly so she doesn't notice, "And... what happened between you two?"
She sighed, taking a sip of her drink, "We got into and argument, about the egg and how I apparently wasn't treating him right," She frowned, "But, we put the fight and relationship behind us, but all of its just suddenly came back to me, I don't know why."
She spoke with pure sadness in her voice.

"Sometimes, it's okay to think back on bad moments, the most you can do is improve from them."
I gradually edged myself closer to her, "You said you were... afraid? Afraid of what?"
She placed her hand on her eyes, wiping them gently.
"I don't know... afraid of loving again?"
She took her hand away from her face, I didn't know what to say to that, so I just reassured her.

"TestTube," I started, with very little courage, turning to her and holding her hand in mine, my breath shaking rapidly, "If you're every afraid, at all. You know you'll always have me, okay?" She looked down at our hands, I hope she couldn't tell how nervous I was.
The wind blew past us, "Don't ever think you don't have anyone when you're afraid, because you have me, Lightbulb and possibly Fan. Okay? Promise me you'll remember that."
My breathing quickened, my chest feeling tight, she could tell how nervous I was, hopefully she doesn't remember this.
"Paintbrush..." She said slowly, her gloomy eyes looking up at me, "I've never had anyone talk to me that way."
Suddenly she moved her hand away from mine, "Thank you."
I'm hoping I didn't make her uncomfortable.
"I will always be here for you, okay?" I said softly, leaning back into the bench.
"Okay, Paintbrush." She smiled.
We sat in silence after that, just enjoying each other's company.

I'm not sure how long we stayed out there, but we did end up getting interrupted.
"You two might wanna come back now," Lightbulb smirked, then going back to her natural face, "Fans going wild and OJ's getting angry."
I sighed and we both got up and walked back.
As Lightbulb walked in front of us.
Me and TestTube looked at each other, alright, I know that TestTube isn't dating Fan now.
So all I need to know is... do I like her?
And if I do...
...Should I make the first move?
