Shimmering Bristles

Hallways

(This is in Paintbrushes P.O.V. btw)

Paintbrush exhaled. Normally they wouldn't have gone to a party. Too much noise...too much chaos...and it's not the most ideal place to sketch. Paper's party didn't have as much chaos in it, but everyone was VERY Loud. The teachers were pretty laid back, so they allowed Paper to use the Lounge for his party. Besides all the teacher thought Paper was a sweetheart (Cause he is) So they basically let him do whatever he wanted anyway.

The only reason Paintbrush really came is because Lightbulb and Marshmallow kept begging Them to come. Otherwise they would have been in their room listening to music painting. But it's not like they didn't like parties. Anyone who saw Paintbrush in the hallway now though, drawing, would think that either they didn't like parties or they were some sort of weirdo who likes painting in the hallway.

" Maybe I should have stayed in the dorm. It's much quieter there."

The door of the Auditorium slammed open, loud music filling the hallway, bouncing off the walls. Paintbrush jumped, startled. There was only one person they knew that bangs doors like that around...

"Hey Painty! Why'd you leave the party!? It's just started!" Lightbulb closed the door (Actually she slammed it) behind her, sitting down next to Paintbrush, who had one eyebrow arched up in questioning.

"Lightbulb, we've been over this plenty of times, don't call me Painty, please. And Two: I didn't leave, I'm just taking a breather." Paintbrush stood up and smoothed their bristles out. "More important question is what are you doing out here?"

Lightbulb shrugged, seemingly pulling two Dr. Fizzes from nowhere and offering one to Paintbrush, who refused. "Can't a gal look for her bud when they up and vanish from an epic party? I mean for a second I thought you went through a vent or something"

"Lightbulb why would I- Oh nevermind. I was just taking a breather, like I just said."

"Fair, Fair." Lightbulb nodded, putting her hand to her chin like a scientist. (BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY Jk)

There was an odd silence not because either of them didn't know what to say, but because Lightbulb randomly hacked Baxter up out of her throat, for like the 5th time.

"Oh!!! I knew you were somewhere Baxter! Baxter shook a claw, almost as if he was greeting Lightbulb-

"Lightbulb...if you're going to eat that crab, you should just do it already!!!!" Paintbrush expected stuff like this, but even so, they were still dumbfounded at seeing it.

Lightbulb gasped in awe "Painty!! How could you! Everyone knows Baxter is not to be eaten. I mean unless he wants to be eaten- then in that case I'm all for it!"

At the mention of this, Baxter scurried away somewhere.

"Bye Baxter! See you Later!!!"

"Lightbulb, you do know that your crab just.... ran away....right?"

"Nah. He does that sometimes! He just went to our dorm! He does that every time I mention something about eating him."

"Wha- why would you-"

Lightbulb stuck her phone in Paintbrushes face (Hey I'm having Deja Vu!) "Hey Painty! Look! Fan says that we should come watch Star Wars with him and Test-Tube!" Lightbulb was excited, so she was practically screaming at this point

Paintbrush winced from the pain of broken eardrums and gave Lightbulb a thumbs up. " Not that I like Star Wars anyway..."

Although they've drawn a couple pictures of Darth Vader and Yoda, Paintbrush never really hooked onto Star Wars. At Highschool, Anyone who liked Star Wars, science, wore glasses, or liked math was counted as a nerd. Fan and Test-Tube both had glasses and liked all those things, which resulted in them becoming best friends.

As Paintbrush and Lightbulb were walking there was a figure laying on the grass by the sixty foot cliff. It staggered up to stand, holding it's chest, and it peered over the cliff, wobbling. It then proceeded to stand there for a couple of seconds, before walking away in the direction of the forest.

"Fan better not be watching Empire Strikes Back without me, or I might just be liable to beat him up with my Lightsaber >:D " Lightbulb skipped along the hallways, forcing Paintbrush to speed walk to keep up. They loved Lightbulb's optimism for the most part, but like, who skips through the hallways at 10:00 Pm at night? Lightbulb, that's who.

"Fan says he's the best Jedi ever...so I don't know Lightbulb.. And the last time you two had a Lightsaber Battle, you guys broke one of Test-Tubes Microscopes, and you guys put a dent in the wall and we had to call room service!"

Lightbulb crossed her arms, pouting. "Hey! That was Fan's idea to have a Lightsaber battle, not mine!"

Paintbrush rolled their eyes. "And who's idea was it to throw the Lightsaber pretending to use the," Paintbrush made Air Quotes "'Force'"

Lightbulb plugged her ears "La La La I can't hear youuu~ Also your phone is vibrating."

Paintbrush checked their phone.

Marsh_Mw: PBrush where u at? U gone back to the dorm or something?

"Typical Marshmallow..." Paintbrush thought. At least they had friends like Lightbulb and Marshmallow, checking to see if they were ok.

Paintbrush:): Going to dorm cuz party is loud... ;-; Cya 2 morrow

Marsh_Mw: Srsly Papers Party isn't that loud- have a gud night!

(Lets just take some time out to admire the common grammar issues in modern Human, or in this case, object texting. :3 )

As Paintbrush was walking through the hallways with Lightbulb (Who was reading a book called "how to be so very dum") they couldn't help but think about how lucky they were to have friends like Marshmallow and Lightbulb.

Even if Lightbulb was possibly insane.

Away in the forest....

The Hooded Figure was running from something.

It couldn't see very well through all the branches, but it knew something was chasing it, so it turned and picked up a rock and threw it.

The Sounds of glass shattering filled the Forest.

The figure walked over to the glass shards, and looked down. There was a black glitch like substance moving along the pieces of broken glass. The grass was stained bright red with blood and bits of orange.

"I gotta find the N.E.W.T."
