Test Subject (SlendyTubbies AU)

Chapter 2

It is Wendsday. Tomorrow will be testing day. Were any of them scared? No, they are just hoping that what ever is going to happen will just kill them already.

"What is your favorite color?" Walten sat in front of Tristan's cell as he wrote things down on a clipboard. "And why do you want to know ya science shrimp?" Tristan was just trying to nap before his assigned scientist, Walten, decided to pop up and ask all these stupid questions.

"If you give me the information I want, I will leave you in peace," No reply from Tristan. "Aaaand I will bring an extra pillow for you!" Walten tried persuading him. "Make it two," Tristan answered. "Deal, your favorite color?"

Tristan grumbled, "Purple," He spat out. The scratching sound of the pencil irritated Tristan but hearing the young scientist's voice made him a bit more calm.

Walten got all the information he wanted and kept his promise. Two more pillows for Subject TW. After that, any information wanted out of Tristan, had to be bought in pillows.

"Hey Tristan, look at this!" Jessica did that stupid thumb trick. "Really spooky isn't it?" Tristan gulped down his piece of chicken and looked over, "You sure they checked you for crack?"

Jessica huffed and crossed her arms, eating her chicken angrily. "Ha, that is nothing. Let me show you a real magic trick," Michael took his fingers and bent them all the way back. "Uhg! Michael I want to keep my meal in my stomach, not on the floor!" Jennifer looked away in disgust as Jessica tried to copy him.

"Jessica stop, you are going to break you fingers," Tristan told her. Jessica grumbled but stopped. Michael laughed at them and resumed eating.

"Maybe we will get super powers!" Jessica spoke out, "Yeah, hopefully the power to die," The four laughed over Jennifer's remark. "Michael's super power would probably to fold himself up like a piece of paper. He can already do it," Tristan chuckled as Michael slightly punched his arm.

"Your super power would to be able to break bricks with your head, you already got the melon to do it!" Tristan flinched away as Michael knocked on his head. The four laughed. Their laughter died down and Jessica looked down at her feet. "What is really going to happen to us?" Jennifer cooed and brought Jessica into a hug, "It is okay Jess, everything will be fine. It might hurt a little at first but I bet you will be alright," Jennifer told her lies to help her feel calm. Now that what was happening was sinking in, they were all now unsure about this.

"I don't want to feel pain anymore," Jessica buried her face into Jennifer's shirt and slightly shuddered, her emotions pricking at her skin. "It will be okay. You are a strong woman," Jennifer couldn't stop her voice from cracking a little. It was hard to see her friend, who she only knew for about two days, cry like this.

The boys lowered their heads, feeling sorrow for the youngest of them. "They are letting us hang out all day tomorrow before they start. Maybe we can try to get some ice cream before we go!" Michael suggested. Jessica turned her face to him and nodded, her glasses fogged with tears.

The guards watched silently. Some felt no remorse for them while some could help but feel a bit hurt for convicts.

After a few more hours of just talking and hanging out, they were sent back into their cells for the night. But that didn't stop them from talking.

"I spy with my little eye something clear!" Jessica called out. "The lense on the camera!" Michael called out. "Not this time," Jessica giggled.

"Woah you found something else that is clear for once?" Tristan sat up from his bed. "I'm looking directly through it!" Jennifer slammed on the bars, "Your glasses!" Jessica groaned, "Yeess..."

Jennifer fisted the air, "Yeah! Five wins! Beat that!" Michael got on his bed and got comfy, "Well, I enjoy talking to you guys, but this guy needs some shuteye!" Tristan nodded, "Agreed. We can talk again tomorrow. For now, get some rest."

Jessica groaned but decided to go to bed anyways after realizing how tired she really was.

"Night you twats, let them bed bugs bite!" Jennifer called out. "Let a big rat bite you!" Michael called back. They laughed before going quiet and drifting off to sleep.

Jessica woke up in strange room. She didn't know where she was or how got here. Was this a dream? It was pitch black all around.

"Hello!?" Jessica yelled out into the darkness, her voice echoing. She waited for a moment before calling out again, "Is anyone here!?" Her voice echoed into the darkness. She squinted at the direction inwhich she yelled at. She saw something red walking up to her, but it was so blurry. She began to walk towards it, trying to get a better look.

She managed to make a few more details out. Its body was completely red besides the facial area. It looked quite fluffy aswell. And on top of its head was some sort of circle?

Jessica was spun around by a shadow like creature. In a flash, it got in her face. It harshly whispered,

"WAKE UP-"

***

Jessica woke up with a gasp. She clenched her chest and looked around. She was back in her cell. She went to the bars and looked around. Her friends still peacefully slept. Jessica sighed out before returning to bed.

Her thoughts swarmed about the dream. She asked herself so many questions that she soon fell back asleep.

***

Jessica carefully sipped her tea. She didn't want to tell the others about her strange dream last night. Right now, it was all happy thoughts. Jessica told herself over and over again, unknowingly spacing out. Jennifer finally snapped her out of it.

"Jessica!" Jennifer snapped in her face. Jessica shook her head and smiled, "Sorry! Just spaced out for a moment!" Jennifer looked down at her doughtingly but returned the smile anways. "Alrighty, eat your donut. It is getting cold," Jennifer moved the plate towards her friend.

It was now Thrusday. Six hours until they are used as lab rats. Six hours left to just peacefully talk. Tristan didn't really want to talk, he wanted to stay silent for just a little while. Of course, Jessica was trying to milk a conversation out of him.

"Do you feel like it isn't fair that they are doing this to us?" Jessica leaned over to him. Tristan sighed, "Can you leave me alone for just a few minutes?"

"Where is the fun in that?" Jessica took a bite out of her donut and rested her chin on the table, "I'm nervous..."

Jennifer pulled her into a hug, "It will be okay Jess, maybe nothing might happen and we will be back to hanging out and eating chips!" Jessica lightly smiled up at her and leaned against her. The six hours dragged on. It felt like eternity.

They all looked up at the clock hit 4 p.m. A dozen guards came over and escorted them away. One by one, three guards split one of the four away from the group and into a different hallway.

Soon, it was only Tristan going on the original path they were taking. They stopped by a large door. It slide open with the help of keycard and they lead him into the bright, white room.
