How many lightbulbs does it take? (Discontinuted)

11. To meet somebody

(Edit log : someone remind me to typo check these omfg)

All day I was anxious about test tube's appearance, according to Light she was getting here at noon, so all I had to do was hide in my room at noon right? Well... I suppose I lost track of time, because soon enough I found myself In the middle of Light explaining our "situation" to testtube and Paintbrush...

I shuffled uncomfortably while the conversation quickly escalated into a screaming match. All I managed to catch is Painty being mad at Light for making them worry, and testtube about to have a meltdown since she doesn't know how to send us home.

Wait... CAN'T WHAT? I kept quite while my thoughts raced. What the hell am I going to do? I need to get to fan! My fan! I need to protect him, who else would?

I quickly slipped away from the three of them and outside. Hot tears and quickened breath... I completely lost my composure. I collapsed to the floor and sobbed. I just want to see Fan again. To know he's alive and okay. Even if he isn't it would be better then not knowing... No! No don't think like that Lightbulb. He's okay. But--- he must be panicking without me! He needs me, and i can't get to him.

Clank!

Suddenly I snapped back to reality. Something hit me?
"Hello?"
I heard Blue call out.
I swallowed and cleared my voice to respond,
"Uh, hi blue?"
I replied weakly.
"Oh! Silver... You're crying again?"

Oh wow "again" that sure puts it into prospective... Blue sat down across from me. She looked like she was staring into my soul I tell you--- I dragged my gaze away from hers, redirecting it towards the grass.

"Er, yeah."
"Well, do you want to talk? It isn't about testtube is it?"
"Well, that's part of it. I'm more worried because she mentioned not being able to send me home and---"
"She what!"
Blue squeaked, quickly covering her mouth.
"Well, yeah, I didn't catch much though so there might be more to it..."
"Oh, oh I'm so sorry Silver. You're worried about Fan I'm assuming?"
"Yeah, yeah I am."
"Well, If it makes you feel any better. Fan is a strong guy, I'm sure he'll be fine without you for... Awhile."
"I don't know if that helps but, thank you."

Blue smiled at me. I could tell she was worried though...

"Blue."
"Y---yeah?"
"Are you missing anyone too?"
She sighs starts pulling at the grass while she talks,
"Of course! I miss Painty, and Fan, and everyone at hotel oj..."
"And how do you feel about--- hearing them here?"
"Oh you know, it's a bit weird is all. I suppose I don't really miss anyone actually, just, I'm worried they might miss ME."
"huh, that's a good way of saying it... What do you think their doing?"
"Painty had plans to go to the theater with Knife today! I was thinking about it all morning... I hope they didn't cancel because of me!"
"Paintbrush and Knife?"
"Yeah! They've been really close lately!"
"Huh, w---"

Suddenly I heard a voice from behind me,
"What are you two doing out here?"
It was Light, awkwardly standing above us.
"Oh uh, we're just talking."
"Oh! Well, come in soon! Testtube has something she wants to talk about."
"Yup! Got it. "

And she was off, blue and I sat there for a second before she asked,
"Are you ready?"
"Are you?"
"Ready as I'll ever be!... Which isn't that much."

I chuckled and lifted her up by the fore arm, and the two of us walked inside.

Fan, testtube, Light, and Painty were talking when we came in, and suddenly i caught one of their gazes.

Testtube rushed over and grabbed my arm.
"Im so sorry any of this happened Lightbulb, as you probably know you're alternate self can be pretty unpredictable heh--- but i promise we're going to get you home! One way or another."

I stood there completely bewildered. Unable to speak.
"Hello?"
She said.

"Get off me!"
I shouted panicked, tearing my arm away. I took a step back, surprising testtube, who was clearly confused.
"What's wrong?" she paused.
"Are you upset I brought you here? I can assure you I didn't me---"

Light dragged her away to explain. Paintbrush walked over to us.
"What was that about?" they asked. Blue jumped in to answer for me.
"The testtube from her reality," she paused,
"Isn't the nicest vial in the lab."
"Ah," they replied,
"Well, then you probably shouldn't be in here." They started walking back towards the entrance.
"I think they need time to talk."

So blue and I followed them, taking one more look back.
