"I bake when I'm depressed... WHICH, I'm NOT! Nooo, I am not." - Just when Lightbulb thought it couldn't get anymore lonelier- she receives the news that her three best friends- Painty, Fan, and Test Tube- had left for a VIP Tour of their favorite band. Without her. With the final four being taken in by Hotel OJ, Lightbulb couldn't seem to find any place to fit in with. Everyone had their pairs- and some... kept their distance. But hey- the kitchen is wide open! So, why wallow around in sadness, when she could pour her heart into something she enjoys- baking? Bake your heart out! But be weary- not all emotions are meant for the consumption of others.

[II AU; Humanized] By all records, twelve-and-a-half year old Suitcase Slams is a fairly average girl. She's just started seventh grade, she likes hanging out with her new best friend Balloon (even if her dad's boyfriend doesn't like him all that much), and she likes to go to the arcade to see Fan, a high schooler who's always been like a second older brother to her. But after sneaking out to the local park after dark one night to see Balloon, the two of them plus Fan witness something that leads them to discover that nothing in their hometown may not be what it seems. And as their newly formed secret club starts to unravel the secrets of the town, Suitcase finds that many of her thoughts can't be eternally encased betwixt the pages of her journal.
