In the Name of Love

Putting the Insanity in Inanimate Insanity

(A/N!: I couldn't think of a good name lol, I'm also very sorry for the long break! I have been very low on motivation and school isn't helping either so yeah- But let's get into this!)

[Test Tube's POV]

"I stayed up...all night for this...and it DOESN'T WORK?!?" I scream. Fan pops in and looks at me.

"You good?"

"I'm fine. The damn thing doesn't work." I groan and push the mechanic arm away.

"What were you trying to achieve? I'm good at coding, I think I might be able to help!" Fan walks over and grabs the arm.

"I was trying to make it pick up a can or something...I don't know anymore...c-can you stop staring at me?"

"Test Tube, my eyes are all over this arm, why do you think I'm staring at you?"

"I'm looking directly at you. Your following my every move. Its freaking me out...please stop."

"...what?" Fan steps closer and closer.

"Give me some room to breathe, dude! Not cool..." I look around and grab a hammer. I raise it.

"Test Tube! Wait!" I blink and he's back where he was, looking at me concerned. "What are you doing?..."

I'm breathing heavily. Was that a hallucination? I don't hallucinate...If it weren't, I was just about to hit Fan with a hammer!! What is wrong with me???

"I...I don't know...I..." I drop the hammer and run over to Fan, hugging him instantly. "I'm sorry..."

"Hey, hey, don't apologize to me, apologize to whatever you were about to hit!"

"You were what I was about to hit...I saw you...you were getting really close and you were staring at me...you looked off though...the entire room did...it was...dark."

"Hmm...strange." Fan pats me off of him then goes back to studying the arm.

[Fan's POV]

I start staring at the arm. What was she going on about? I've read about this...it's like...she's probably going insane or something. She has a lot of things she has to take care of. Poor thing...

"Test Tube, it might be psychosis or something."

"...what?"

"Psychosis, y'know, the thingy that make you go insane?"

"What makes you think I'm going insane?"

"You were hallucinating everything dark and I was walking towards you, staring down your every move." I look up at her a little and then at her computer. "I need to borrow this so I can fix the arm."

"...am I going insane?"

"Probably," I sigh. "It may be the harsh truth, we'll never know."

"Huh. I need to do some research on this. If it's what's happening to me, I wanna know more about it..."

"Alright then. Test Tube, where's the access code to the arm?"

"Let me." She reaches for it from behind me and gets me to the access code. "There ya go!"

"Thank you so much!" I start inputting random things and pray it works. "Try connecting the arm to where it was."

"On it," she grabs the arm and plugs it in.

"Okay it says connected now..." I put more random things in. There we go. "And...enter." The arm goes to pick up the can.

"Woah...you did it!" I smile as Test Tube admires it. I can't believe that the lie worked. I'm proud of myself.

I look up at her. "I'm proud of myself. Are you proud?"

"Mhm! This is cool!"

"Success." I laugh and stand up as she admires. "...what now?"

"You get out of my way and I research what psychosis is," she sits down in the spinny chair and starts typing really fast.

"Damn, okay," I laugh. This is going well.
