ʚTest tubes pov-->ɞ

  I stare at my paper, pencil in hand, is this the rock bottom for me? I've done so much and it seems as if.. I have ran out of ideas. After all these years of doing experiments it seems as if I have ran out of ideas and burnt myself out. But this can't be I'm a scientist for heavens sake! I look up from my paper and start to look around my quiet office to see if I could make something with the parts in my room, than my eyes land on my old time machine. I slowly get up and grab the small calculator, I begin to think to myself "No I can't use this hunk of metal.. Last time I used it everything went horribly wrong! But it was fun I do have to admit. "

  I walk back towards my desk and open it up to see if I could fix it up, I grab some tweezers and wires and begin reasembling the calculator,

"Shoot I need a source of electricity to power it up... Oh! I could call lightbulb I think she would be down for some time travelling!" I set down the tweezers and calculator and rush up to hotel oj. I walk in and see oj at the front desk.

"What's up testube! Need anything? " Oj waves as I walk over to the front desk. "Yeah actually I was wondering what room lightbulbs in? " I ask whilst fidigting with my fingers. "3rd floor, room 231" oj points toward the elevator. I thank him and walk into the elevator.

I click the 3rd floor and quietly stand in the elevator, some classic elevator music begins to play in the background. Oj definitely used his money for something nice. I think to myself and suddenly I hear a ding, floor 3! I repeat '231' over and over in my head until I saw the numbers '231'. I knock on the door and hear footsteps, each one getting louder and louder.
Paintbrush opens the door and greets me. "Oh hey testy need anything?" Paintbrush asks while holding a rag in their hand.

"Yeah actually is there any chance that lightbulb is here?" I replied, paintbrush turns around and yells for lightbulb, a few seconds later I see lightbulb walking to the door. Paintbrush waves goodbye and walks back inside.

"Omga hi testyy!" Lightbulb walks out from her room and gives me a fistbunp. "Hi lightbulb, so do you remember that time back when we were in inanimate insanity where we yknow time traveled? " I hesitantly asked.

"Of course I did that was so fun! Well until salt and pepper were going to torture you but.. Yeah that was a fun bonding experience! " lightbulv replies, we go quiet for a second as I think on how to ask but lightbulb says something first.

"Why do you ask? Oooo! Are we going to time travel again!? " lightbulb silently shouts. I nod and begin to speak again, "Yeah I was going to ask you but you caught on! And you can help me power it up" lightbulb hops a few time while lightly clapping her hands. She than stop and grabs my arm and runs into the elevator.

"Where are we going to time travel to? The past? The future? Back to the 1800's? To the year 3000? So many years and so many dates. " I think about that, I should've thought about which year we would go to I was just so caught up in having a new project. I think about my answer while the elevator is playing in the back. The future could get me some interesting notes and new things to mess with but the past could ALSO get me some new things to experiment on.. Jeez this a hard one, oh! I'll just have lightbulb choose where we go, yeah simple... Right?

"Well how about you choose? You have more creativity than I do so you can find some interesting years for us to go to!" I say after the moment of silence. Lightbulb nods happily. •ding• we're back at the first floor. Lightbulb runs out but when she does she slams into trophy.

"Watch where your going you idiot!" Trophy shouts at lightbulb. Lightbulb falls and hits the floor. "At least I don't stand in front of a dang elevator!! " lightbulb snaps back at trophy. I look down at lightbulb and kneels to help her up.

"Oh you wanna fight you price of glass?!" Trophy starts to raise his tone at lightbulb. Lightbulb starts to snap insults back at trophy and pushes trophy aside and storms out of the hotel with me. "Gosh he's always ruining my moods! He's such a...! Yknow a.. What is he.. Oh! He's such a jerk! He think he's all that when he's just a loser! "

"Yeah just the other day he splashes water on me! Whatever don't let him get to you just remember were gonna time travel! " lightbulb smiles and runs to the vending machine and starts smashing buttons until the pipe sucks both me and her into my office. I grab the calculator, a notebook, and a pencil. I hand the calculator to lightbulb and she snatches it from my hand. She quickly places numbers into the calculator and zaps it. The big green portal opens up and lightbulb runs in.

My turn, and I'm ready.
