The Lightbulb Adventure

High atop a chandelier three pairs of bright oval eyes sprung open within a moonlit room. The three figures grew arms with little white gloved hands and legs with feet dressed in oversized white running shoes. As the other light bulbs rubbed their sleepy eyes LB1, the leader of the gang, knelt at the chandelier’s edge to examine the room below. Their surroundings were very plain with only a desk and a night table as decoration. A young boy slept soundly on a bed below them. LB1 turned to his companions, named LB2 and LB3, and flickered his bulb in a form of Morse code.1

"The bulb on the night table hasn't awakened yet - we should see if everything is okay."2

LB2 nodded coolly in agreement.3

LB3, the timid, soft-lit bulb of the gang clung to the chandelier’s post and shook with fright - he was so scared of heights!4

With an understanding nod and wave LB1 and LB2 leapt off their perch and down onto the bed below.15

The two bulbs approached the lamp and knocked politely. No answer. They waited a long moment before LB2 began to complain about the rudeness of fellow bulbs this day in age. After a few more moments LB2 peeked under the skirt of the lamp (what a rude thing to do!) and alas, the bulb was missing!6

"The bulb might be in danger!" surmised LB2 with a quick flicker "We should search the room."7

With a large nod of his bulb LB1 agreed and they setoff on their search.28

They trekked for many long minutes (the life expectancy of bulbs is not so long) across the barren floor.9

"What is that?" LB2 pointed at a figure shrouded in darkness10

"I'm not sure but lets say hello" (P.S to children - never talk to strangers!)11

As they approached the dark figure LB1 slowly lit up in an attempt to identify the stranger. Pushing the shroud of darkness away he gasped, for it was a Night Bulb! These are bulbs who have completely cracked and have turned to the dark side.12

"Where did you come from!" cried LB2 in anger13

With a sinister flare the Night Bulb replied "I was once that weak Light Bulb in the Night Lamp... but no longer! Now I am the evil Night Bulb!" With that the evil bulb lifted a nearby marble with astonishing strength and heaved it at the duo.14

LB1 and LB2 dived for cover, the marble narrowly missing.15

Both bulbs returned to their feet defiantly.16

"Lets test his Wattage eh LB2?"17

LB2 nodded in agreement and both bulbs flared in an explosion of light.18

"You don't stand a chance!" Howled the Night Bulb and he ignited his own dark powers. 19

Soon the two Heroes of the Light collapsed in defeat, their combined Wattage no match against the Night Bulb. 20

The Night Bulb raised a large marble high over his bulb21

"I will spare your lives if you join the dark side!"22

LB1 and LB2 moaned in denial.23

"Very well! Then be crush-"24

Leaping from the chandalier's edge, like a burning comet with rage in his eyes, LB3 slammed down upon the marble, the force of the impact buckling the Night Bulb's knees. With a mighty crash the Night Bulb was crushed. LB3 staggered to his feet and went to his friends.25

"Well, you’re a bright bulb," sighed LB1 as he was helped up.26

The three bulbs limped home, the rising sun beyond the window silhouetting the heroes.27
