Everyone gathered in the parlor, as Lightbulb explained their lesson of the day to them.
"It's been brought to our attention that there may be a little... Tension in the hotel."
Bow stuck her tongue out at Taco, pissing her off. She took out a gun & pointed it at her, but Test Tube immediately grabbed the gun out of her hand.
"Tension that can be counterproductive to what we're trying to do here." Test Tube finished.
"We think that this group could really benefit from..."
"Trust exercise!"
"Trust exercise."
Both Lightbulb & Test Tube said at the same time, only Lightbulb was energetic while Test Tube wasn't.
"We're doing trust exercises." Lightbulb said once again.
"So, what's with the whole, uhhh... This? I'm not about to put on some show for these fucking chumps." Yang asked, pointing at the built stage behind the two.
"Oh, I will. But it's cash up front. & I know that one can't afford me." Paintbrush smiled, laying their legs on Yang & pointing at Taco.
"Gross! I'm not watching you go all out up there!" Taco refused.
"But don't you ever wanna know what parts us non-binary people have?"
"Can we not talk about that please? It's really uncomfortable." Bot asked.
"... What parts do you have?" Bow asked them.
"Okay, no more disgusting topics that are going to make others uncomfortable. Now, let's get started. Lightbulb?" Test Tube looked over at her friend.
"Actually... I thought maybe you could take the lead on this one. I trust everyone, so maybe you know better about how to build it properly." Lightbulb smiled.
"What? Uhh, I don't know if I'm qualified or-"
"Oh, come on. It'll be easy. I'm sure you can handle this."
"Yeah, um... Sure. I can handle this. No problem."
Lightbulb smiled & gave her a thumbs up, as Paintbrush, Yang & Taco just started at her.
"All right, so we are starting with trust falls. Each of you are going to share something vulnerable with the group about yourself. & then you're going to fall backwards while the rest of the group catches you. Who wants to go first?" Test Tube finished explaining.
Lightbulb was the first to raise her hand & offer.
"Me me me! Me! Me! Me!" She jumped up & down.
"Alright, get on up there." Test Tube pointed at the stage.
Lightbulb rushed up the stage & smiled.
"I love you guys. Like, really love you!" She cried as she fell back off the stage.
As she fell, both Test Tube & Paintbrush were quick to catch her.
"That. Felt. Good!" She celebrated.
The two put her down as Lightbulb smiled at Paintbrush.
"Painty, why don't you go next?"
"Fine." Paintbrush forced themself up.
"This time, everyone needs to catch them, okay? Unless you don't want to get hurt." Test Tube threatened.
"Somethin' about myself, huh? How about this? I LOVE to suck-"
"I SWEAR TO GOD, IF YOU SAY DICKS!" Yang yelled at them.
"Popsicles, ya sicko! Get your mind out of the gutter & lay off the Fizz." Paintbrush finished.
Paintbrush fell back, trying to land on Yang, but he immediately moved. Luckily, Lightbulb swept in to catch them before they hit the ground.
"You know, I like dicks, but I don't mind pussy's either." Paintbrush smiled at Lightbulb, who immediately looked away.
"Alright, bitch, you're up." Paintbrush pointed at Taco.
Taco growled at them as she walked up the stage.
"With or without my mechanics, I can still destroy you." Taco pointed at them as she fell behind, only to hit the ground.
"What the fuck! I thought we were supposed to catch each other!?" She yelled at them as she got up.
"Yeah... You're the only one who gets a free pass." Test Tube explained.
"Of what? Getting fucked!?"
"Exactly." Paintbrush agreed.
Bow immediately ran up without any warnings, much to Bot's worry.
"Oh no."
"What's going on?" Paintbrush asked them.
"Usually, when Bow sees something dangerous & rushes to it immediately, it means she wants to be a part of the danger, thinking it's fun." Bot explained.
Bow stood on the stage as she excitedly explained her favorite thing.
"I LOVE chairs! Specifically cute, pink chairs!" She explained as she jumped off the stage.
Test Tube immediately catches her once she jumps off.
"Yeah, I'm not letting you get hurt." She explained.
"But Taco got hurt!"
"That's different, nobody likes her."
"HEY!"
"Bow, do you think Fan would like it if you were hurt?" Bot asked.
Bow stayed silent but disappointed as Test Tube put her down. Lightbulb pulled her to the side to talk to her.
"I don't really know if this is really working the way we hoped. Maybe we should-" Lightbulb tried to explain.
"Girl, you have to trust me here. I got this, okay? I'll figure something out." Test Tube reassured her.
Paintbrush interrupted the two, offering their own idea.
"If you're in the market for some ideas, I got just a thing for some 'trust buildin'."
"What do you have in mind?" Test Tube asked them, not trusting in them one bit.
