Mama's Widdle Scientist

(Author's note: Yep. Another II agere fic. This time it takes place in my mutant au! ((where the objects are humanoid-object hybrids)) Hope you enjoy!)

------------------------------------------------------------

"I'm sorry, Fan.."

Those were the last words Test Tube said to Fan before he had to leave the show.

The entire day was very emotionally distressing for Test Tube. Not only was she wondering how taking care of whatever comes out of the egg would go, but she was also worried on what will happen if she was eliminated and saw Fan again. Would they get back on good terms? Or would they go separate ways for good?

The mutant sighed, putting the alien egg aside on a safe place as she walked through her lab. There was a nearby door next to one of her cupboards, which she approached and opened.

Behind the door was a nursery-like room. The walls were painted pastel green, with a couple cute science and math related pictures plastered on. The carpeting was a darker shade of green and very soft. There were coloring books and sketchbooks sprawled out complete with crayons. At one of the walls there was a white wardrobe that was also plastered with cute stickers and the like, next to it a bookshelf full of picture books about stuff like animals and space. On the other side there was a large white crib with green bedding and a mobile with stars, between a small dresser and a decorated toy chest. In the corner there was a mini fridge with food and drinks for Test Tube's "small" state

Sometimes, Test Tube would be overwhelmed with stress. This would cause her to regress to an earlier state and within her lab she had a secret room within her lab that helped her feel comfortable in this state. Somehow, the glass creature could sense that was happening to her right now due to today's events.

Letting out a sigh, Test Tube walked into the room and went to the dresser. She took off her lab coat and pants, pulling the middle drawer and pulling out a dark green footed sleeper instead. Putting the sleeper on, Test Tube laid her usual clothes aside and closed the drawer. The mutant proceeded to open the top drawer, getting out a green pacifier. She proceeded to lower the left bars of her crib and stepped in, taking off her glasses and setting them on the dresser, lifting the bars back up. Putting the pacifier in her mouth, she lightly suckled and picked up a plush rat lying in her crib, cuddling it and regressing completely.

"Testy, are you in your small state?"

The still glum Test Tube let out only a whine as a response. Lightbulb knew that Test Tube sometimes regressed, and would take care of her some of these times. Test Tube ultimately didn't mind when Lightbulb entered the room.

"How's my widdle scientist doing?" The machine tried to lighten the green blooded humanoid's mood.

Test Tube let out another whine, this one a bit louder than the last. Lightbulb quickly caught on to what was bugging her and went up to the glass humanoid's crib. Test Tube turned to face Lightbulb and lifted her arms up. She did want the comfort at the moment.

Lightbulb picked Test Tube up, cradling her. The regressed mutant nuzzled herself against the robot, a couple tears streaming down her face.

"It's gonna be okay, sweetie... it wasn't your fault..."

Test Tube just sniffled a bit, hanging onto Lightbulb and sucking on the pacifier a bit more. The robot proceeded to open the top drawer of the dresser and get out an empty bottle. She then went to the mini fridge and set Test tube down, opening it. Getting out a carton of juice, Lightbulb went back to the dresser and set the bottle on the top so she wouldn't spill juice on the carpet. Lightbulb opened the bottle, then the juice carton and poured the drink into the bottle, sealing it when it was full. The robot then closed the juice carton and picked both that and the bottle, going back to the fridge and placing the carton back there. Finally, she picked Test Tube back up.

A bit reluctant, Test Tube allowed Lightbulb to remove the paci from her mouth and accepted the bottle from Lightbulb.

"Thank you..."

Lightbulb nodded her head as Test Tube suckled from the bottle, continuing to cradle her. This carried on until the bottle was empty. Lightbulb removed the bottle and put it aside to clean it for later. Test Tube let out a small burp before Lightbulb placed the paci back into Test Tube's mouth.

Test Tube happily accepted the pacifier, now getting a bit tired. Lightbulb took notice of this and went to Test Tube's crib, placing the glass humanoid right in and tucking her in as Test Tube cuddled her plush rat once more. The machine then turned the mobile on, letting it spin as Test Tube slowly drifted off to slumber, paci still in mouth. Lightbulb smiled, going to the door and turning the light off, turning to the crib one more time before going to do her own thing.

"Good night, my widdle scientist..."

------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning, Test Tube thought of something in her crib. During her times with Baseball the other day, she knew that he has been in emotional distress a bit longer than her. She wondered if this would be perfect for him as well. She might have to talk to Lightbulb about it, but for now, she felt like having a conversation with her toy rat about other stuff that interested her at the moment.

The End
