A Few Glitches Here And There. (ON HOLD)

16.) A Switch Of Regret

Test Tube closed her book, she peered up at the ceiling. "I, ... should go to sleep." weakly and exhaustingly said.

Test Tube fell into her bed, continuing to gaze at the ceiling, Test Tube laid there, she gradually closed her eyes and slept.

\\-Time Skip.-//

Test Tube's P.O.V:

I'd slowly open my eyes simultaneously rising up from my bed, I quintessentially yawned and stretched. Moving over to the side of the bed, I stopped. Looking at the ground, clenching my eyes in exhaustion and stress.

Before I..start running tests on Experiment 42, I need to apologise to someone, I can't do it, it's embarrassing! I'm such an introvert, I can't even have a decent conversation. What if she won't apologise back... I'd stand up and saunter to the door, continuing, I stopped in front of the facility door. Worried but still trying to stay calm, relaxed and positive. I'd open the door slowly, trying to not make a fuss. I walked down the stairs, still looking at room A-3 (where LB, Fan and PB were.)... I'd start speeding up my velocity while clenching my fists, slightly leaning forward.  I kept on walking until I was at Experiment 42's room. As I opened the door, at the corner of my eye I saw Paintbrush looking at me.

End Of P.O.V

"Uherm, Heeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyy.....?" Test Tube waved obnoxiously at Paintbrush.

"Hey." Paintbrush looked at the ground.

"Do you need anything?" Test Tube said.

"No, but uhm..whatcha' doin'?" Paintbrush asked.

Test Tube was speechless for an extent.

"..I-um, I'm gonna boot up the experiment." Test Tube lowered her voice.

"Ooohh..okay." Paintbrush walked back into the prior door he went out of,  gloomily.

"Not even a goodbye.." Test Tube mumbled under her breath.

Test Tube continued, and opened the door, walked in, setting her eyes on the "Experiment", finally time to get the show on the road. She looked at the experiment for quite a duration, she hovered her hand over the "ON" button. "FINALLY! ALL THESE DAYS I'VE WAITED, it's all put together, sort of.." Test Tube grinned, right about to press the button.

"Here...we go." She closed her eyes, concentrating and switched the experiment on, simultaneously walking backwards. She opened her eyes, she was greeted by 2 pair of eyes, the lights flickered a little bit and the experiment twitched with a spark. "Woa."  Dazzled, she took a closer look at the experiment.

"Please identify your name and occupation." The experiment said.

"Uhermm, the name's Test Tube, I don't have an occupation yet, but I'm sort of a scientist." She hesitatingly stuttered and stammered her words out, surprised.

"Check.", it said, with a tick on its screen indicating that it has been done.

"I am honoured to work for you." The experiment looked at Test Tube.

"Haah...yea is okay! You'll be my assistant supposedly." Test Tube smiled at the robot.

"What shall I assist you with?" It questioned.

"Hmm. I want you to do this." Test Tube pulled out a sheet of paper with tasks on it and gave it to the experiment.

"Okay." It picked up the paper and started to read it.

Test Tube left and went to the other room,  (A-3) and looked at everyone as she entered.

"I'm ready to take out the cannula's.." She directly looked at Lightbulb, with a sadistic expression. She looked to Fan which was dozing off, she went outside the room to quickly grab the appropriate supplies for the removal of the cannulas. Test Tube walked to the room with her supplies on a metal tray.

(That was like a month ago ^)-------------

Test Tube put on a pair of gloves and looked Lightbulb in the eyes, – she looked at Lightbulb's hand and held it with her's, Test Tube unwrapped the bandages around the cannula.
When she finished, she pulled out the connections and wires from it and then she pulled the cannula out, Test Tube held it up in the air, looking and the plastic tube that used to be in Lightbulb's hand. There was a little bit of fresh blood on it. Test Tube put the used cannula in a white cloth. While after, she finished doing Fan's cannula. She took the tray and before she left the room, Test Tube looked back at Lightbulb and smiled, "I'm..sorry." She walked out of the room.

"Huh, well look – it wasn't so bad..?" Test Tube heard a mysterious voice behind her. "Mm..yeah, it was so b- wait, wait..." She stopped and looking behind her hesitantly.
"Oh,-um hey, Paintbrush." She waved pathetically. "Heeeeeyyyyyy.." Paintbrush awkwardly finger gunned at Test Tube. Test Tube felt something she had to let out, at least vent to someone, someone she'd trust. "Can I just talk to you for a few minutes..?" Test Tube looked up at Paintbrush. "Um yeah-" Paintbrush said before getting grabbed by the hand, leading to a empty room.

They sat down on the floor, "Sooo, what do you-.." Paintbrush was interrupted, "I feel like im stuck, – PATHETIC! I don't think I'm setting the right foot out right now, your probably confused but, I may just be going insane – BUT I DON'T SUPPOSE SO." Test Tube shouted.

"Sorry, it's..just, I seem like a bad... pal, – a friend to them she looked to the left." She sputtered her words out.
Paintbrush was silent to an extent, due to the awkwardness and having nothing to say.

Test Tube would dramatically sigh, "It feels like I'm pushing them away?" She was unsure. Test Tube felt a hand on her shoulder, "I-um, it's fine. I don't really think 'they' have any hatred towards you, so, just...y'know chillax'?" Paintbrush calmingly said.

"Guess I will." Test Tube stood up, and waved at Paintbrush, "Bye and uh, –thanks.", She left the room.
