"EMMYYYYY" Lighty bursts through the door. She grabs me and runs outside with me.
"Lighty! what?" I ask. She avoids my question and starts counting.
"We need one more person." She says signaling me to come with her. We go to Fan and Paintbrush's shared room.

"So, E-kitten means.... Electronic kitten." I say.
"Yes!" Fan confirms.
I look down at the sheet of internet slang he printed for me. "Sigma...? what does that mean?"
"Oh! that means-" He paused, staring at the door. Thump, thump, thump.... Lightbulb's footsteps! thump, thUMP, THUMP! sch, sch Swing! She swings open the door.
"I'm here for you." she says, pointing at Fan.
"Why" I ask.
"Yeah! What do you want from me?!"
"Since Painty's not here rn, you're the next option." She explains. Emerald appears around the corner.
"I just want to say, I have nothing to do with whatever she's thinking." He muttered.
"Fine. if you're not coming with us, willingly." She paused to look over at Emerald. He was shaking his head. She looks back at us. "You're just have to come... Un- willingly! Emmy, you take his left foot, I got his right." She said evilly, approaching him.
Fan laughs nervously, adverting his eyes towards me then to them. His eyes fill with fear as Lightbulb grabs his leg and drags him off the bed. He screeches and clings onto things as if he's getting dragged to hell.
"Take his leg, Emmy!" Lightbulb exclaims. Emerald stands by the door, frowning. He walks over and tries to reach Fan's leg. He kicking as much as he can. Emerald finally grabs his leg and they both drag him away.
It takes a matter of seconds to get him out the door. Fan tries to hold onto the door, only for him to end up closing it.
The room goes quiet, except for the screaming outside. I didn't help him, because I didn't want to. Actually, a little happy about the two dragging him away. I needed to work on my newest gizmo anyways.

We drag Fan all the way to the field. I look at Lighty for an explanation, just for her not to give one. "Stay here." She tells us before running off again.
"LIGHTY! WHY!" I try to call. She's too far to hear us. I sigh.
"She's a lot, hm."
"Oh yeah." I say.
"How was Lightbulb when you were kids. I mean yeah- I met her in middle school. but before that. How was she?"
I was bit put off by this sudden question. "Uhh. well. I mean, she hasn't changed much I guess... Sure, she's taller, but she's always been taller- than me at least. She actually calmed down! now she's just silly. She used to be like a tornado. phewf."
"Golly, I'm sorry for you."
"Don't be! She's made some of my best memories! Even though she loves dragging me into terrible situations, she always takes responsibility for whatever it is." I smile.
" Yeah! It's like I-
"Can't leave her no matter how hard I try." We say at the same time. both of us starts laughing.
"You're cool! I can see why Lighty always talks about you." I say.
"She... Talks about me...?" Fan asks.
"Oh yeah! She yaps about you, Test Tube, Paintbrush." I answer. "E-especially Paintbrush!"
"Heh. Funny, she likes talking about you to."
"Really?" I pause. He nods. "Y'know, I'm not keeping you here. You could leave- if you want."
"Yeah, but I'll stay anyway." He sits down.
"That's good because, I have a question for you." I sit with him.
"Ask way friendo"
"I'm your friend?"
"Any friend of Lighty is a friend of mine." He smiles.
"You're right. Here's my question." I clear my throat. "How's Paintbrush- I mean, how do they treat Lighty?"
"Well, they treat her good, now."
"What do you mean." I say, confused.
"When we met in the 6th grade," Fan started "she didn't know Paintbrush. I interduce them to each other when I brought her into my friend group. They got annoyed with her very easily. Of course, you've seen the show."
I nod. "Yeah, this is why I'm worried."
"The funny thing is, whether they liked it or not, over the years, they warmed up and developed a crush on her lol. Fast forward a year or two. Here we are!" He grins. "Lightbulb was just the thing they were missing. They used to be uptight and easy to anger. now that their dating, They're much more lay back and fun!"
"Lighty works wonders, doesn't she?"
"Oh yeah!" We look forward. "Here she comes."
"Sorry it took so long! I couldn't find it." She smiles as we get up.
"y-you dragged us here to... jump rope...?" I looked down at the jump rope.
"Why didn't you just tell us? We could've helped you find it." Fan questions.
".... Don't question me!" She pouted.
--------
After 20 minutes of jump roping Fan's asthma kicks in and we walk him back to his room.
After we return Fan to his room we go to the field.
"Something tells me you left me alone with Fan for 15 minutes because you wanted us to be friends."
"Yep!" She smirks, skipping off.
Just then, she starts running! "PAINYY!!" She squeals. I run as fast as i can to keep up with her. She jumps on them, squeezing them tight.
"I'm really that boring, huh?" I joke. She laughs.
"I w-would laugh to- i-if I could breathe!" Strangled Paintbrush gasps.
"Oh, sorry Painty!" She jumped off of them.
I feel like a third wheel looking at them smile at each other. They really do love each other. I'm happy for them.
