< There's No Signs... >

I throw the paintbrush in the sink, I look at the stars on my painting.Three days of work... for a smudge!?I noticed the thumb smudge on the corner of my painting, I groaned. Why does nothing ever go the way I plan it to!?I put the painting and it's stand to the side, I'll fix it later after it dries, again, it's what future me has to worry about. I sigh, walking out into the hallway and locking the door behind me again. I need some sort of energy. I make my way into the kitchen and see Lightbulb again, this time she's trying to grab something from the top shelf of the the fridge. She notices me and smiles, "Painty! Just on time I need you to help me get the milk out the fridge!"I roll my eyes and nod, grabbing the milk and passing it to her. She thanks me and I grab a dark chocolate bar. Since I don't really have a sweet tooth, and tent to stay away from candy, I go for the healthy ones. "How'd it go with Testy?" Lightbulb adds, pouring the milk into her milk chocolate. "Oh y'know," I started, "Got the paint and she asked me a really weird question." I open the plastic wrapper and take a nibble. "Oh? Like what?" Lightbulb turns her head at me, smirking and wiggling her eyebrows. "She asked me if I wanted to do science lessons with her. I said I'd think about it. Just.. why would she ask me that?"I flick my bristles out my face. "Maybe..." Lightbulb says slowly, "She fancy's you!"I look at her, my face going a faint red. "What!? No! If she liked me why didn't she just ask me out?"Lightbulb shrugged, "dunno, I was just guessing for funzies."

"Whatever." I sigh, walking away and taking another bite of my chocolate. TestTube liking me? No. There are no signs she likes me.I shake my head, ever since going to that lab my mind has been going everywhere.I open mine and Fan's room, seeing him asleep in bed even though it's four pm. I grab my sketchbook and sit down with my back against the pillows. I take my diary off my bed side-table, pick up the pen I left inside it and started writing down my thoughts. I normally do this before I go to sleep, but I guess I just needed to put my thoughts in here so they stay out the way in my mind.

I don't know how long I was writing in my diary, but I had begun sketching and filled up a whole page. I guess Fan had woken up and noticed me too. "Morning?" Fan mumbled, "How long was I asleep? What time is it?"It took me a minuet to get out my own state of mind, but I finally snapped out of it and answered his question. "We'll I came into our room at four, it's six now." I wiped my eyes, putting the pen into my bristles and looking at my sketches. "Six!? How have- wha!?" Fan begun to panic throwing off his bed covers and getting on his feet. "What's the problem?" I asked, not looking up from my book."I was suppose to see Lightbulb and make a cake with her!" Fan rushed around the room, trying to find his phone which you could see was on the desk. "Desk, and why?" I closed my book and watched as he grabbed his phone. "Because! ...I actually don't know. But hey I'm down to bake, maybe you should join us!" Fan offered, now tidying his bed."Uh... sure. I might not help with lots but I'm honestly bored so might as well." I said, pushing my diary off to the side and gradually getting up. "Great!" Fan's face lit up, as we left the room and went down to the kitchen to see Lightbulb half way through mixing the cake batter as TestTube was reading through the instructions.Wait.. TestTube!?

"Hey guys! I brought Paintbrush!" Fan called over to them, we entered the kitchen and Lightbulb turned around to greet us.Fan giggled at the sight of the pink batter on her face."Heyo! Here Testy take this for a moment I need to talk to Fan about something." Lightbulb chucked the mixing bowl at TestTube. "Golly!" TestTube yelped, the sheet being thrown at her hands in order to catch the bowl. "That's fine but don't do that again!" TestTube yelled, putting the bowl under her arm and started to stir. Lightbulb and Fan went off the living room for their little discussion that for some reason didn't include me and TestTube.

I sighed, flicking my bristles out my face again. "Oh Paintbrush!" TestTube started, turning to me as those two left out of sight, "Have you made up your mind about those lessons?" I snap out my trance from her sudden words, I had to make up my mind right now!?Uh.. it wouldn't hurt right? Plus I wanna know what all this fuss is about on why she likes science and technology so much."Uh... yeah, sure." I mumble loudly, she smiles at me."Great! We can start tomorrow if you're not busy, sound good?"Tomorrow? I mean I'd probably do what I just did today, Sleep, eat and draw.I was complaining about how life's been on loop earlier, so something new like this should make me feel a bit better. I hope. "Sounds good." I couldn't help but give a small smile, she gave a warm smile back to me. After that talk we stayed in silence for a while, luckily she started another conversation because I had no ideas.

"Try this now, I hope it doesn't taste to much of egg, it's suppose to be strawberry"TestTube said, as she showed me the bowl.I poked my finger into it and licked the delicate strawberry paste, it was kinda tangy, but still tasted pretty good."That's actually pretty good, and I'm not one for really sugary things."I took another poke and lick, just for the taste. TestTube chuckled, "Glad you like it."And on cue, Lightbulb and Fan came back from their little talk, Lightbulb gave me a smirk from a side glance. Uhm.. okay?"Did you finish the paste?" Lightbulb asked TestTube, snatching the bowl from her grasp."Ack! And yeah I did." TestTube huffed, wiping herself down.

I sighed, watching as Lightbulb begun pouring the paste into a large cooking pot. "If you and me could start on the icing and Paintbrush and TestTube start on the toppings that could be great!" Lightbulb looked at Fan, however I could see a slight smirk on her face.I felt a shiver go down my back.Suddenly baking doesn't sound fun.And Lightbulb is clearly trying to do something here.

——————————————————Don't trust me when baking because I'll just make everything taste like egg. Fr I also burned a cookie packet powder baking thing. I don't know why but never trust me in a kitchen. Also, I think Lightbulb is trying to do something, I don't really know.Definitely don't know.
