On The Run

Casts, Costumes, and Cars!

Paintbrush's POV:
Paid for already? Who could've paid for this? It wasn't our parents, cause they honestly don't even care, and it wasn't SD, because, would you SERIOUSLY think it was SD? I questioned the doctor. "Wait, how is that possible? Who paid for it?" The doctor said, "She didn't want me to say her name, but she said to meet her at the red mini van in the parking lot when it was done with. She said she wanted to thank Lightbulb for a favor?"

Weird... I looked over to Lightbulb with a confused look, and she was still confused. "Well, come with me Paintbrush, Lightbulb, you can stay right here." Lightbulb nodded her head and I went with the doctor. (A/N: Since I've never actually broken my foot or leg or anything before, I'm gonna skip to Lightbulb's POV)

Lightbulb's POV:
As they walked out of the room, I was told by another doctor to go back to the lobby. I DID NOT want to go back to that lobby. That creepy old dude was back there! But I had to do what the other guy told me to. I slowly walked out of the room and tip tied over to the door to the lobby. I peeked into it, and almost had a heart attack. He was in that same exact spot as last time. "Oh shoot. He's waiting for me. What do I do?"

I creaked the door open when he looked away, and I snuck over to the other side of the room. I quickly sat down in a seat that was next to seats that were occupied. "Hairbrush?" "Beater?" Were called right after I sat down, and the two people stood up and left. Oh no. The man looked over towards me and grinned. OH NO.

He shuffled over to me. He sat down, and I moved over a seat. He moved over to my original seat. I looked to my right, and noticed there were no more seats open. I nervously looked over, and he grabbed my hand again, "Now, sweetie, like I said before, you just seem...lonely." I tugged and pulled my hand, but couldn't seem to get out of his grip. "Let....GO! I'm not lonely, I told you that! Now GET OUT OF HERE!"

He suddenly stood up, still grabbing my hand, and started to walk with me to the exit. "WHA-What are you DOING?!?" Oh my god this is SO TERRIFYING! "Just doing what you told me to. Getting out of here." I smacked him straight in the face and yelled, "I MENT LET GO OF ME AND LEAVE!" He didn't respond and dragged me out of the building. How was no one seeing this?!? I was trying to stop him from pulling me with my feet, but his grip was just too strong, though his hand was surprisingly thin... We were outside of the building, and I screamed, "Who even ARE you?"

He took off the fedora that was on his head, and his beard, and revealed that he wasn't old. Or a man. "SUGAR DROP?!?!" She smirked and sneered, "Well look who tried to run away from me. Nice try, twerp. You're coming with ME." She was about to smack me, when suddenly, a few security people shocked her in the back, and she fell straight over. "Are you ok, young lady?" One of them asked. I sighed in relief and responded, "Yes, sir now I am. Thank you so much." "No problem. Do you know this lady?" I nodded. "She's my sister." He gasped. "Oh shoot. I'm sorry...." I shook my hands. "No no, don't be sorry. She's abusive."

He took her hands, and hand cuffed them. She then became conscious and yelled, "WHA-what are you doing!?" "You're under arrest for child abusing and attempted kidnapping." "WHAT? Bulby, tell them they're wrong, heh. Best sisters forever?" I smirked. Was she seriously gonna try that NOW? "More like best sisters for NEVER!" "WHAT?!? I'll get my revenge some day you little BRAT!" The men dragged her away and she screamed, "I'LL GET YOU SOMEDAY SISTER! AND YOUR LITTLE FRIEND PAINTBRUSH TOO!"

I quickly ran back inside as fast as I could. I was speechless after what just happened, and don't know how to feel. Should I feel scared? Should I feel happy? Should I feel sad? I'm not even sure anymore. I just sat there, once again being stared at in the lobby, when Paintbrush walked in. I looked down at the cast, and it was a light yellow color, like both of our hair colors, and metal crutches.

"Thank you so much, doctor." It said to him. "Not a problem. Don't forgot to meet that lady!" I ran over to Painty and hugged it. "I LOVE IT! Nice color choice, my favorite!" It smiled. "I knew you'd like it! That's why I chose it!" Painty sure knows how to choose a color right! "Really? That's so nice of you!" We walked out and I heard a few people in the lobby say, "Aww that's so cute!" "So sweet!".

Paintbrush's POV:
We walked out looking for the red mini van, when I asked, "Hey, so what exactly did you do while I was getting my cast on? I heard some sirens outside and I was worried." Lightbulb shrugged. "Oh, my sister just dressed up as a creepy old man and tried to kidnap me, then got tazered and got arrested for child abuse!"

I dropped my jaw in surprise. All of that happened in the 15 minutes I was gone?!? "That's...that's great! No more SD, huh? Does that mean you can head back home?" Lightbulb stopped, and looked saddened. "What's wrong? Aren't you happy? Now you can go home! Sugar Drop is arrested now!" She looked up and sighed. "Well, I guess it is, but... I was just looking forward to hanging out with you and all, traveling all around, but now there is no point! I just hoped I could go with you..."

I put my arm around her shoulder and comfortingly said, "Well, you have parents that actually care for you! You should go with them. Not me." She sighed and suddenly smiled and yelled, "Hey look it's the red mini van! Let's go!" We ran over and looked through the window. There was a lady from the lobby, but I didn't see how either of us did anything for her. Lightbulb quickly gasped and asked, "That little favor...you paid the cost of a cast for that small favor?" The lady scratched her head and answered, "Well, not just that... I heard you two talking in the X-ray room when the doctor left, and I just felt so bad. I also saw that thing with the security people and that girl getting dragged away who was supposedly your sister. After I heard that, I thought, hey, she helped me, so why don't I help them?"

Lightbulb looked at her with tears in her eyes and said, "Thank you so much, mame. You really didn't have to-" "But I wanted to." She winked, and backed out of the parking spot and said, "Good luck, girls!" The little boy in the back yelled, "Bye Bulby! Bye Painty!" And the car drove off. "That was so sweet! Don't you think, Lightbulb?" I looked at her, and she had this longing look in her eyes. "Lightbulb?" She snapped out of it and responded, "Yeah! Super sweet!" "What were you just thinking of?" Lightbulb smiled and said, "Oh nothing!"

What was she thinking about? "Well, ok then....I'll walk you back to your house! I'll be fine on my own." Lightbulb gave me a worried look and said, "But what if you get caught or something? Imagine if something happened to you! Imagine if-" I calmed her down and comforted her. "Trust me, Lightbulb, I'll be fine." She responded, "I'm not too sure about that. I mean what about your injury?" "I've got everything I need! It's fine!"

We continued walking and about three blocks in, we saw at least 40 people crowded around something big. "Do you wanna check it out? It seems pretty important!" I nodded in agreement. We rushed over there and saw that there was a really bad car crash. A dark blue van and a bright red Ferrari were badly crashed, and it was on fire and everything! Then I saw something that caught my eye. I looked closely at a bright orange bumper sticker that came off the van. It read, 'Sugar Drop is Mama's Favorite Dancer!'. Then Lightbulb exclaimed, "Hey, you know something? My parents have that same car! Ironic, right?"

(A/N: Oh shoot.... that's not good. 😕 Did you expect Sugar Drop to come back as an old man? 😂 Um, probably not. Like usual, comment how you thought I did on this chapter, and rate! Thanks, and see ya next chapter!)
