In the Name of Love

[Test Tube's POV]

"Hey, Testy, what does this do?" Lightbulb picked up the time machine. She clicks a lot of buttons before I take it back and break it. "...huh. Just got deja vu."

"Don't touch my things without permission, Lightbulb! God, I swear you're so- LIGHTBULB."

"Hm?" She's shoving a battery in her mouth. A battery. I give her a look then she looks down and takes the battery out. "Sorry."

"...jeebweezer." I go back to doing my experiments on Baxter. Lightbulb says she wants Baxter to be able to talk, so I stupidly said I would try. God, I'm an idiot. And, even worse, I look away from the idiot for two seconds, and I hear her choking. Wow. I look back at her. "What n- OH MY GOD." She coughed up another crab??? Jesus.

"Meet Bailey!"

"Did you...eat Bailey??"

"I think," she stares at the crab in her hands. "I dunno, but if I did, it was when we did that bucket challenge."

"I still regret that day," I sigh. Fan taps my shoulder, and I jump. He's so quiet oh my god.

"Hey, Test Tube, I need help with one of my blogs," He says with an innocent look on his face.

"Alright! What's up?"

"I need info about Silver Spoon and Candle," he starts. "I can't go to Cabby because she's currently ignoring me, so I need you to talk to her."

"Oh, okay, I will. I need to do...this first." I look back at Lightbulb. "Also she uh...ate another crab."

"Lightbulb. Me and Paintbrush have been telling you over and over again, DON'T EAT CRABS."

"She won't listen." I turn back to Baxter and continue. I pick up a glowing substance and pour it on Baxter's head. "This should work..."

Instead of making the stupid crab talk, he grows. Lightbulb stares at him in amazement.

"OMGA, look at Baxter!"

"I can see him. Right there. ON MY TABLE." I stare at Baxter, very confused. "That potion worked on Box, why didn't it work on Baxter?"

Fan looks over at me. "I think it's because Box is an object and the crab's a...crab."

"Ah. Well, you can have your giant Baxter, Paintbrush won't be happy about it, but you can keep him. Paintbrush will most likely yell at all three of us, I mean, they do have anger issues." I get reassuring nods from Lightbulb and Fan. "I think we should leave the lab. I need to talk to Cabby."
