On The Run

Cali, Here We Come!

Paintbrush's POV:
Hairspray strutted over towards our booth, and grabbed Lightbulb's hand. "Just follow me onto the stage." He whispered to her. She got up and did as told. I can't believe of anyone in the room, he chose HER! This is crazy, a famous just asked Lightbulb to sing! YES! Lightbulb stood on the stage next to him and he started talking again. "Now, what's your name little lady?" Lightbulb, with a scared, but at the same time ecstatic expression, answered, "Lightbulb Static."

Hairspray covered his mouth with one hand and exclaimed, "Wait, did you say STATIC? As in, related to Sugar Drop Static? I absolutely adore her dancing!" Lightbulbs face became flushed at the mention of her sisters name, but kept calm. "Yep. I'm her little sister." He gasped and grabbed her hand again. He shot it up along with his and yelled, "We have a celebrity's sibling in our midst!" Lightbulb started to look down, as everyone else started to cheer. She looked back up and gave a nervous smile back to them. "Anyways, on with challenge! Now if you'll please choose a duet song, you will sing with the other person at your booth over there. But only your voice will count!"

ME? OH SHOOT I CANT DO THAT NO NO NO OH FINE. I started to stand up as he motioned me over. Lightbulb started to rapidly clap her hands as I came up, as did everyone else. Listen, if there's anyone that can't sing worth a crud, it's me. I've been told that by everyone I've ever known. I'm so bad, I broke the back window of our music class by singing a single high note. "What might your name be?" I answered, "Paintbrush Color. Don't be surprised if I sound like crud up here."
He started to laugh. "Alright, the two of you have to choose a song that your relationship can relate to." He put a karaoke machine behind us, and Lightbulb asked what song we should do. A song called, 'Strangers' by Scratch21 caught me eye, and I asked if she knew it. "Are you kidding? It's perfect! Of course I know it, if your apart of the brony fandom, you're probably gonna know that he's voiced by the same guy (ShadyVoxYT) who voices Button Mash in 'Button Mash Adventures', so let's do it!"

I nodded my head, knowing this song because I've seen it in the recommended for you section on YouTube, and I'd say it fit pretty well for before we met a second time. We gave him our song, and he played it on the karaoke screen. The instrumental music started to play, and I knew the guy part played first. I told Lightbulb I'd do that and say I was a guy. Here we go. I'm probably gonna see some bleeding eardrums in the audience.

PB:
Save me, I'm drowning so deep in the darkness,
I'm waiting for your touch to stop this,
There's smoke blinding us with goodbyes,
And I
Keep hope. Cause this feelings different and I know,
I've staggered so long that I can't go,
Alleviate me I'll be fine
In time

Please remember that I miss you,
Young and reckless what did we do?
Broken promise gone forever.
Maybe one day we'll get better.
Right by your side, that's where I'll be.
In a heartbeat if you ask me.
Let's stay strangers like were meant to.
Oh I wonder if you miss me too.

I ended my part and I swear the entire audience was about to pass out from hearing loss. Then Lightbulb started to come towards our microphone, and I swear, her eyes sparkled as she saw the entire audience waiting in curiosity at how she sounded.

LB:
Find me, I'm waiting right here where you left me,
I'm shredded and bruised, but I'm breathing,
Be brave for me, ignore eyes,
Just try.

We're dancers, and I've picked petals looking for answers,
And I've received these edges from chances,
Indelible, but I'll be fine,
In time

Please remember that I miss you,
Not caring is so hard to do
Everything we loved together
It's not the same without you there
Feels like you were just beside me,
How did time go by so quickly?
Now were strangers, but I miss you,
Oh I wonder if you miss me too.
