Every Moment (ZeRoyalMexican)

Part 3 - Ooo A Trip

~Ze's POV~

"Fu-What're you doing Chilled?!"

"I don't fucking know man," Chilled laughs just as a large cloud of pink poofs up and all around the lab making us both cough. Although I'm coughing the smell is actually really sweet, as if somebody just dropped a bag of pink sugar on the floor and poofed up a cloud of sugar. Waving my arm around the air I widen my eyes when the cloud does disappear but the lab which was white a moment ago is now completely pink. Every small object and every small corner is now dyed a light pink which Chilled somehow created. Glancing around I have to focus before noticing Chilled with wide eyes as he also looks at me and we both have to hold in our laughter as we feast our eyes on completely link versions of each other when we should be stressing and figuring out if this is permanent. After holding our breath for a good couple of minutes we finally burst out into laughter now struggling for breath through our laughter.

"Holy-..." A voice joins us and we both wipe away our tears and turn towards the door to find a tall man holding his hand at his mouth seeming to hold in his laughter as well.

"Oh hey Nanners, welcome to the party man," Chilled says between laughter and Nanners finally giggles as he carefully enters the room. I stare at his feet making note that his shoes seem to be gathering the pink on the sole while leaving a whiter floor. So the entire pink is sort of like a coat of paint, or at least liquid rather than sinking into the surfaces. Which basically means there is hope for clean up so we will likely be made to clean the whole mess up.

"What were you guys doing?" Nanners asks approaching us while cautiously looking at us as if wondering if the pink substance on us is safe, which to be honest neither of us are exactly sure.

"Chilled decided to randomly mix chemicals because he was bored so now we have no idea what this pink gunk is," I complain and immediately Chilled glares but says nothing since I'm completely right and Nanners just laughs, amused with Chilled's stupidity. "Well now we need to clean this up before it hurts anybody," I announce and hold out a nearby now pink mop towards him. Sighing, he nods and takes the mop from me while trying to wipe off the pink substance off of him before curiously sniffing it. I have to admit, it smells really good but I would never taste such a thing as curious as I am.

"I'll call the janitors to help. Don't cause too much trouble okay?" Nanners says this specifically glancing towards Chilled making Chilled scowl but turns away since he can't retort when it's clear to all of us this is his fault. As soon as Nanners leaves the room I turn to him irritatedly.

"You're already making a mess at this base, how do you expect to be here for more than a week like this? I'm surprised Nanners didn't just fire us as soon as he walked in," I complain and Chilled sighs before turning the large industrial sink on to wash the pink gunk away.

"I get it man. I just want to leave the boring lab and explore more."

"We've only been working for four days," I complain and he just frowns with the knowledge it's true. I understand him, I've always understood him when he'd get in these boredom phases and begin to act irrational. Usually it happens at least a month after working in the lab but it seems to have caught him early this time by a lot. Before we worked as scientists always doing lab work we were able to explore around, learn new things and adventure out but now I guess he's not getting enough explore time moving from lab to lab. Working solo for so long too we would randomly go out to some abandoned areas and test out things that may or may not be legal so now that we're chained to the government with the cops watching our every move we don't exactly have the freedom we had before. Whether it's a good or bad thing I'm not exactly sure of right now.

Before tomorrow we should probably leave the lab spotless as well, considering we're going to be gone for an entire week according to Gassy for some sort of team building thing. Seems like even as just researchers we're not exempt from the physical exercise everyone has to go through although it will be less cruel to the other soldiers. Chilled is excited to go, of course having to revert back to our old days for the first time in a long time. I, on the other hand, am not looking forward for being the inferior once again in everything involving our old jobs. As scientists it's clear I reign over Chilled but as soldiers Chilled definitely has more skill over me. Plus I'm worrying more over having to clean up the whole lab and having to clean it again when we come back, both necessities to do. Just cleaning it right now especially after the mess Chilled made makes me extremely peeved and almost makes me feel like running and hiding before having to go out on that trip. Only a week, then we revert to our usual scientist ways and even Chilled should be satisfied for a while.
