Paintbrush was sitting under a tree, yes a tree. Admiring the fresh snow and frozen lake, they smiled. 'This would make a great painting' they thought. They could picture it, oh yes it seems so fitting, so-

"Heya, Painty!"

They jumped a bit. Then frowned, they looked up to see the one and only lightbulb looking down at them. "Wassup? Why are you sitting alone?" Lightbulb showed a smile. They just rolled their eyes. "I'm fine lightbulb" she sat beside them. "Hey! Christmas is coming!" She said. They didn't even look at her, "yes I know lightbulb."

They tried to get her to go away, they just wanted to be alone. They wanted to let their thoughts consume them. Lightbulb couldn't stop talking. They were getting sick of it. "Can you just can it?!"they blurted, glaring at her. Lightbulb gave them a small smile, "um, bad day today?" She asked. "My day was going fine, until YOU came around." They grumbled.

Lightbulb sighed. "Well, I just wanted to make you feel better." She said weakly. Paintbrush frowned, "I don't care lightbulb, I don't need you to 'cheer me up' all you do is annoy me to death." Lightbulb's expression dropped. Paintbrush could practically tell she was frowning without even looking. It was hard. It was beginning to get harder to pretend not to care about her, it was hard to hate someone you love.

They sighed, "Just go and annoy someone else lightbulb." Lightbulb stiffened a bit, and stood up to walk away until she heard someone call to her. "Lightbulb!! Come here!" She looked up and smiled again, it was test tube! She hurriedly rushed to her green friend. "Hey tube! It's been a while!" Test tube smiled, "Y-yeah- it has, huh?" Lightbulb grabbed her hand excitedly without no warning and pulled towards the frozen over lake.

Test tube gasped a bit. "H-Hey waittt!!" Lightbulb giggled, "I can teach you how to skate and slide on the ice!" She suggested. Test tube smiled and rolled her eyes. "I already know how." She replied. Lightbulb shrugged and swirled around the ice. "Y'wanna slide together then?" Test tube beamed, "O-Oh sure! I'm pretty good at it." Lightbulb snickered. "Well then let's see who's better than who!" Test tube laughed. "Let's."

Paintbrush watched in confusion. They felt a little angry that lightbulb was having so much fun with...her. They felt a pang of guilt. They knew they'd probably never be able to have fun like that with lightbulb. They weren't exactly as friendly as they were. But lightbulb seemed more happy around other people, she looked nervous and slightly scared around them.

*sigh*

They didn't deserve such a caring and sweet being in their life. All lightbulb wanted to do was to please them, but they weren't returning the favor. They hurt lightbulb and they knew it, Just maybe. Maybe one day, they'd be able to tell lightbulb how much they care. How they truly feel about her.

Maybe one day. Hopefully.
