A Glow

It was late at night at the city's lamp factory and two goose-neck lamps were made at the same time before the place closed for the night. One of them was gold and the other was a deep blue. As soon as the lights went out, the blue lamp's light went on first, indicating she was awake for the first time, the gold one closely following.

"Oh, I'm alive?" the gold one asked

The blue one giggled "Yes we are, and happy manufacture day to you."

"Yeah, you too…sorry, we don't have name's don't we?" the gold one brought up

The blue lamp hopped over and hugged him lightly "Then for now, we can call each other something for now, so we don't sound completely silly, talking over here."

The gold lamp hugged his 'sister' back, then looked around trying to read anything he could find, then saw the right word to describe her on the wall "Well, you're a friendly sister….Affection."

"Oh, I like that, Lampy." Affection just spoke up, out of the blue

"That will work for me, Affection…" Lampy began until he got interrupted

"Can you two siblings be quiet?" a tall stand-up lamp called out to them "We're trying to get some sleep here!"

"Oh, sorry about that." Affection replied "We just wanted to get to know each other."

"Well don't, you'll be bought and separated before you know it." The stand-up lamp told them

Lampy suddenly got scared and hugged his sister close, which she hugged him in return, glaring at the bully. They did probably need to get rest though, for it was pretty late. Affection laid her head down on a piece of foam, suddenly feeling Lampy drop his head onto hers, still very afraid. She smiled to him, not minding it at all, if it made him feel better.

"Don't listen to that bully. Even if we do get separated, remember me and my glow will always be with you." Affection told him quietly

Lampy started to feel better, but didn't get off her, but answered "Thank you affection."

Both siblings then went to sleep together, awaiting what would happen to the two of them the following day. It was to come sooner than they think and the two were soon to be shipped off to the retail store, hoping for someone to want and take them as their own, but the question is, who will want them and will they remain together as brother and sister?
