> In The Brain <

Balloon was dazed, as Figure.. or Bow, walked up to him. "I had no choice.." She frowned, walking behind him on the chair. Suddenly she gently whispered into his ear; "I did give you warnings, dreams of the future.. but the more you didn't sleep the less I gave you."

She stood behind him and cowered, Taco just laughed, "Your little face my poor Balloon, Everything was all because of me. I have it all planned out, and I most certainly don't need your help anymore."As Taco tossed the Bow-in-nator in her hand, she showed him it's sharp pointy side. "So I might as well kill you to keep my secrets, secret."As she walked up closer to him, all he he could do was watch and shake. "Don't do this! I- I'm not ready to die!" He begged."Oh," Taco smirked, "No one is."

She stopped in front of him, the tenseness between them causing her to smile and him to start crying. "Taco please... I'm sure you can still use him," Bow budged in, she had taken back her normal form, "There's no need to kill him so early."

That's when Taco looked like she was thinking, and he had gotten an idea before she said anything."I have a deal for you," He started slowly, clearly not wanting to do this. But he'd do anything to save Everyone. And even though he said no.And he knew she couldn't keep his word. His life wouldn't matter anyway. So... what's the point?What's the point in any of this?What's the point of... me.

"I'll do it," He cried, "One more Life, that's it. One more. Then we're done."Taco smiled at him, "Good. I'll let you stay here and ponder for a bit. Bow, keep him company."Then Taco walked away and closed the door behind her.

It was now silent in this dark room again, Balloon could feel the dust choking him from the inside and his limbs beginning to grow numb. He sighed, swinging his head low, "Why did you do all this? What could you possibly hope to gain?"There was a pause between the two."A life," Bow said blandly, "A second chance to leave this place and start again."

"Why?" Balloon started, "Why do you want to live with all this chaos?"Bow went silent, floating in front of him as the faint pink glow gave that small piece of light. "To leave, leave with the people I love most and allow us to forget everything and be normal people again"

-Suitcase wondered the halls slowly, she wasn't feeling herself at all, she didn't know why but she hoped it would be over soon. That's when she sluggishly walked past a room with someone yelling, and it seemed to have been TestTube's room. That's strange, she can't talk.

Curiosity got the better of her as she budged open the door with her foot, noticing Soap yelling at TestTube."If you're to much of a wimp I might as well go out and get it!" Soap yelled at TestTube, who was laying down on her bed face up with her arms crossed, clearly looking not impressed and not listening.

Soaps enraged face turned and noticed Suitcase cowering behind the door. "Suitcase! Uh- I didn't see you there! Stalker..."Soap rubbed her eyebrows, leaning over the closed window, taking deep breaths but obviously failing to calm down.

"What's... going on?" Suitcase asked."We're running out of medical supplies, not like we can order some. So I'm thinking of going out there to grab some from her lab."And then it was like TestTube heard only that and lifted her back up, flurrying her arms. "No am I TestTube! Since you're obviously not going out there."

Then Fan busted into the room, he still had those burns but they were healing pretty fast. "Has anyone seen my phone!?" He pushed past Suitcase, "Oh hey TestTube!"Everyone just looked at him.

"Why is everyone coming into this room!?" Soap turned around in rage again, her fists tightly clenched. "Jee sorry, ima go ask Paper then have that talk with OJ, see ya Soapy!"And with that Fan left and walked down the hall to Paper's room.

When he opened the door he saw Paper on the floor looking at something. "Papery?" Fan asked, creaking open the door. "Eek!" Paper let out fearfully as he got up and pointed a sharp pink gun at him."Woah woah! Dude! Put the gun down!-." Fan closed the door a bit more, still being able to look through it.

Paper looked down, saw what he was doing and put the gun behind his back."O- oh!! Hi Fan! I uh- wasn't doing anything!"And in a swift motion, Paper dropped the gun and pushed it under his bed."Right-.. have you seen my phone at all?" Fan said like he instantly just forgot the fact Paper had him a gun point.

"Nope!! I haven't!" Paper smiled, his hands behind his back as he shuffled his feet. "Alright then." Fan went, grabbing the door to close it, "Cya, round"The door closed.

After Fan closed the door he sighed, he couldn't think or even remember what led him to be in such a state, all he was thinking about right now was just having a long peaceful sleep, allow his wounds to heal and even get his brain working like it originally was. However, it's not like OJ is gonna stop pestering Fan about the death of Paintbrush and Balloon.

Well Balloon isn't dead, right now he's trying to get Bow to corporate with him.

But that isn't the point, the point is Fan can't handle all that's happening around him, can't progress it in the brain that is.He was failing at walking in a straight line down the hall, taking one step to far to the left and to far to the right. He held his head, he was absolutely tired of all this, he'd prefer to just get it over and done with, to just peacefully pass away in his sleep and rest in wherever his soul dared to go.

He wanted to die, but he was to afraid to go up and end it himself.He was to afraid of hurting those around him.Hurting his best friends who'd wouldn't be able to process his death. But.. he's already seen one of them die. Well... not really seen. He just heard it.

Those frightening screams heard from within those flames, those screams of terror and pain. He wiped his eyes, feeling the wetness of his tears wipe against his hands. His mind buzzed, he's starting to remember it now, from reflecting on the memories he wanted to stay locked away had just opened up the rest of the ones he wanted to rediscover.

His breathing quickened and his chest begun to grow tight, looking at the burns across his arms as he whimpered. They only hurt when he looked at them. He could imagine Paintbrush's face in the flames, as their wooden handle set ablaze and they skin tightening from the heat. He didn't want to imagine it, it was his fault after all. If he didn't eat that damn pizza maybe Paintbrush would still be alive.

"Hey Fan... uhm. We haven't really talked in a while, wanna... talk?"Lightbulb suddenly and gently gripped his shoulder, wearing a face of sadness and grief.He looked up at her, tears boiling out his eyes. He shook his head, "I don't know.. I've talked to so many people about it and-..""I'm not talking about what happened Fan," She pushed in, "I meant just talking to each other like friends.. try to.. ignore what happened for now."

He thought for a minuet, his hands close to his chest, hearing the chattering from Cherries and YinYang as they walked by,"Okay..""I'm glad you're talking to me Fan. I've been getting worried for you and TestTube."

She slowly moved her hand and intertwined her fingers with his, "Let's go to your room and talk like friends again."She smiled warmly at him, and Fan slowly gave her a small smile back. They begun walking again, and Fan felt relieved to have someone next to him. But he's never seen this kind of Lightbulb before, the kind who's careful with what she's saying, who's actually being chill for once.

He liked this kind of Lightbulb,but he also missed the fun goofy side of her. He guessed a bit of what happening is effecting a bit of everyone.

-Balloon and Bow heard a loud bang outside the room they were in, and moments later Taco came back with a knife.She opened the door slowly, purposely making the tension in the air grow tighter.She flipped the pocket knife open, it was rusted but still looked like a pretty good murder weapon. "We leave at sunrise."

Balloon gulped, he's really going to do this Huh?After all the time he said he wasn't going to do it.He's going to kill someone again.

——————————————————Sup y'all finally this chapter is being released. Also before you say ANYTHING, that was a FanBulb moment. But if you don't see it that way you can go ahead and think about it in a platonic way lol.
