THE RED PAINTER (II Au)

JUST THE BEGINNING

July 17 Wednesday

It was bright as day, the birds chirped through the trees and Sky. The last few days were tense but today was feeling Calm and Enjoyable, Not knowing the danger the next few days will contain. It wasn't as cold as the other week. But it was still colder than yesterday's weather. The white cotton like fluffy clouds filled the sky blue sky looking like white puffs of smoke. Three of the Four campers sat on a Picnic blanket in a small clearing with Berry bushes, tall trees, Mushrooms and a few flowers around them on the side, PaintBrush sat knee to knee next to Lightbulb with their hand in hers. Lightbulb was Giggling and chattering To Test Tube. When LightBulb and Test Tube’s Laughs were in sync Paintbrush just got more and more Jealous, They would Squeeze Lightbulb's Hand telling Her they wanted to be noticed. Lightbulb turned to Paintbrush and gave Paintbrush one of her comforting, cute, and sweet smiles which Paintbrush chuckles at. Paintbrush looked at the bracelets Test Tube and Lightbulb were wearing, the Bracelets had Rainbow beads and a Clear sturdy string tied in a knot to hold the colorful and vibrant bracelet together. Paintbrush had growing negative feelings towards Test Tube due to stealing Lightbulb away from them.

“What do you think of marshmallows, Lightbulb? Aren't they squishy and sweet?” Test Tube asked in a somewhat Raspy tone, “I Love marshmallows!! They're so Tangy and sweet and soft! I also like Kit Kats, Hershey's, M&M’s, Buncha Crunch, Snickers, Reese’s,—” “Okay we get it Lightbulb you Like Chocolate!” Paintbrush yelled, cutting Lightbulb off. Lightbulb looked at Paintbrush then bursted into laughter. Paintbrush didn't know why she was laughing but they just smiled at her and chuckled. “How are marshmallows Tangy?-” Test Tube said while laughing hard, " I don't know they just are!” Lightbulb Replied giggly like every single bone in her body was a funny bone.

Paintbrush glanced at their crush, they noticed how sweet and how nervous Test Tube was acting, she must have picked up their terrifying Aura. Was this a sign she was secretly scared of what I was planning to do? Test Tube's arm on LightBulb's shoulder and her lack of reaction was odd… Oh god, was she thinking about her? What is the Test Tube doing…? Their expression didn’t change, they looked at their crush, waiting for her to react to the tense mood. They needed to know that their crush was theirs, and Theirs only. So when she spoke she expected her crush to agree. Paintbrush didn't really like Test Tube anymore and had a strong dislike for them. “By the way, where's Fan?” Test Tube asked lightly, “He went all the way back to the hotel to Find his food and get coffee from Latte's Cocos because he said he needed it.” Paintbrush answered quickly, staring Test Tube dead in the face “He still goes to Latte's Cocos? Their Coffechino’s taste kinda bad to be honest I like their Vanilla Whipped Sprinkle Ice Cream!” Lightbulb exclaimed. “Heh, Bulbie, that's normal Vanilla ice cream with whipped cream and sprinkles,” Paintbrush Giggled looking at Lightbulb softly then planting a kiss on her head. Lightbulb looked at Paintbrush for a second with shock then smiled softly
