Warning: Mention of using happy pills

Lightbulb's Pov
Think Lightbulb, think

Why would Paintbrush's eyes be yellow?

It hit me....

Happy pills...

PAINTBRUSH DOES HAPPY PILLS!? WHY DIDN'T THEY TELL ME!? Unless... They didn't want me to worry about them...

WELL I AM WORRIED! HAPPY PILLS ARE BAD FOR PEOPLE!? I know because I was one of those people.....

I don't do happy pills anymore... But why does paintbrush use them? I used them because I wasn't happy as a kid.. paintbrush must have a reason.

I stopped overthinking and went over to get paintbrush out of their car since they couldn't do it on their own.

"Thanks for helping.." Paintbrush said.

"You're welcome!" I replied, acting happily.

Why didn't you tell me about your problems...

I shook my head.

They probably were stressed out or something. Yeah! That's it...


Paintbrush looked at me with a confused face.

"What's wrong?" They asked

"Nothing is wrong! Just feeling worried.." I respond

"Oh, okay!" They say

They definitely took happy pills..

Then I heard someone behind me.

"Hey Lightbulb! We're back!" Fan says.

Phew... It's just them.

"Hey Flat fac- I mean Fan, and Testy! Could you tell Oj if we could bring Painty to a doctor?"

"Okay!" Testy says .

"Sure." Fan adds.

Fan's Pov
I'm scared that Painty- I mean Paintbrush won't make it... But I'm also concerned about Lightbulb.. I think she's worried about something...

"Fan?" Test Tube asks.

"Hm?" I reply.

"You alright?" She asked.

"No actually.. I think Lightbulb Is worried about something.." I whisper to her.

"I- I noticed that too, I also noticed that Paintbrush's eyes were yellow, maybe Lightbulb knows what it is" Test Tube whispered back.

I didn't notice...

"Oh, they were?" I ask.

"Yeah-" she says cutting herself off.

"We should ask Lightbulb once she's available to talk to us" I say.

"Okay, sounds good" Test Tube responds.

Paintbrush's Pov
Something's wrong with Lightbulb, maybe she noticed my eyes? Maybe my enthusiasm? Maybe both? What if she figures out I take happy pills!? That'd be bad for me

I almost fell but Lightbulb caught me.

"Sorry-" I got cut off by lightbulb.

"It's okay." She says.

I shut my mouth fast

she's probably mad at me.

She brings me to my car and puts me in the middle seat.

"Wait here until I get permission to take you to the hospital, okay?" She asks.

"I- okay" I reply.

She smiles.

I fake a smile back....

Lightbulb's Pov
Now, where's Oj?

I saw him out of the corner of my eye, and I sprint to him like this is a marathon or something.

"OJ!" I exclaim.

"Oh! You're back! Is Paintbrush okay?" He asks

I hesitate a bit, "They aren't fine.. they need a doctor, could we bring them to a hospital?" I reply

He looked less happy, he looked a bit sad now.

"Sure! Bring them to the hospital as fast as you can! Please be back tomorrow.." he says.

"We will!" I say with enthusiasm.

I see Fan and Test Tube talking about something, so I walk about to them.

"What're you peeps talking about?" I ask with a smile.

"Actually, we wanted to ask you something" Fan says.

"What is the question?" I ask.

"Why are you worried an about Paintbrush's yellow eyes? Are they a bad thing?" He asked.

I sigh

"I think they do happy pills..." I say with my smile fading away into a sad smile instead.

"What are happy pills?" Fan asked.

"They're pills that make you look happy when you the opposite of it" Test Tube replied to Fan's question.

"Oh.." Fan's curiousity left in a flash.

"How about we ask Paintbrush when they're back from the hospital?" I imply.

"Okay-" Test Tube responds.

Fan was left speechless.
