《Colors of Lightbulb // an Inanimate Insanity AU》An awkward encounter

"Ok, who wants to help catching the Lightbulbs?" OJ asked.
"Uhm, Soap and I could get the blue one, maybe." Microphone said.
"Ok, Mic, here you go." Test Tube gave her a blue test tube. "Be careful with it. We don't want you to mess it up."
Mic frowned a bit, then smiled and did a thumbs up. "I won't mess it up!"
She and Soap then went outside.
"I wanna get the red one, she's fun to mess with." Knife said.
"Knife, we're not messing with Lightbulb." OJ told Knife sternly.
"You know what, I'm going with him." Pickle said. "I'll make sure he behaves well I guess."
"Ooh, kinda feeling some gay vibes here!" Cheesy said.
"Shut up Cheesy." Knife said. "You're right, but no one asked."
Test Tube gave Knife the antidote and Knife and Pickle went outside.
"Ok, we have the happy one, the scared one and the passionate one left." MePhone said.
"I think Balloon and I could take the scared one." Suitcase said.
"Good idea Suitcase!" Balloon said with a smile.
Test Tube gave them the antidote and they also went outside.
Nickel sighed softly.
"What's wrong?" Baseball asked.
"I- uh, nothing." Nickel replied, blushing a bit.
Cheesy wanted to say something, but Trophy already slapped his hand on his mouth.
"Ok, who's gonna take the happy one?" Paper asked.
"I guess we could." OJ replied.
"Ok, then Fan, Paintbrush and I will take her passionate side." Test Tube said, giving the second last test tube to OJ and keeping the last one for herself.
They all went outside to search for the Lightbulbs...
"I'm smelling poly vibes." Cheesy said after a few seconds of silence.

Meanwhile, outside, Mic and Soap were already walking, actively searching for the blue Lightbulb.
"Alright, where I could she be?" Mic asked.
"I dunno." Soap replied. "That's why we're searching, right?"
Mic nodded.
Suddenly, the two girls heard something. It came from the forest.
"Maybe it's her, let's go!" Microphone grabbed Soap's hand and pulled her along. Soap giggled and blushed a bit.
"Hey, slow down!"
The two kept running until...
They ran into Taco.
Taco was taking a walk and Microphone just ran into her, causing her to fall.
"Hey, watch out where you're going you bloody- Mic?" She stood up and looked up at Microphone and Soap, confused.
"Oh heyyyyyyyyy! This is awkward..." Microphone said, blushing a bit.
Soap's face expression turned into a frown when she saw it.
"Yeah..." Taco blushed a bit as well and fiddled with her fingers.
"...Do you two know each other?" Soap asked hesitantly.
"Oh, uh, yeah, this is, uh, this is Taco." Microphone replied. "I used to work with her, sorta... Man, this feels like seeing your ex in public."
Taco frowned when she heard that last part.
"I'm clearly missing something. How long do you guys know each other?" Soap asked.
"Oh, I got to know Taco after you got eliminated." Microphone explained. "But don't bother, Taco is pretty evil and made me do stuff that I deeply regret and I hoped I'd never see her again, but here we are..."
Taco looked down, sitting down on the tree stump that was there.
"Hmm, now that I think about it, we could use Taco's help. Taco, you want to change, right?" Microphone asked, looking at Taco.
Taco didn't respond at first. Microphone and Soap looked at her and saw she was crying.

"Why are you crying?" Soap asked.
Taco sniffled. She wiped her tears away.
"Sorry, it's just... I'm trying to change, and I actually do regret my actions, but you all seem to hate me. Mic was the only one who cared, until she left me."
"Aww, Taco..." Microphone said. "You know, you could help us with what we are doing now."
"What are you guys actually doing?" Taco asked.
"Well, uhm, it's a long story, but Lightbulb got split into five and all five of the Lightbulbs escaped. We are searching for a blue one." Microphone explained.
"She's very emo and Lightbulb's sad side." Soap added.
"Oh, then I think I saw her." Taco said. "She went this way, follow me."
Soap and Microphone followed Taco. Soap was still frowning.
"What's wrong?" Microphone asked.
"Oh, it's just the fact you suddenly trust her again." Soap replied. "And you didn't trust me enough to tell me about her."
Microphone bit her lip.
"Oh, well, I tried to forget about her... since I actually started liking her and I was actually feeling pretty rough about my decision." She then said.
"Oh..." Soap looked down again. "Ok."
They continued following Taco. Unfortunately, they couldn't find blue Lightbulb in the forest.
"Are you sure you saw her?" Microphone asked.
"Yes, but I think she got away. She was running while crying. She might've exited the forest."
At that moment, they heard sobbing, coming from the nearby cliff...
