12 hours, that's what Pinky was told. Just 12 hours without Brain. And Pinky hated it, he hated not having his best friend here with him. He just drew, tried to read some of Brain's books without removing the bookmark, and he took a nap of the fifth hour of being alone. The nap took up the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth hour, and he woke up at the 10th hour. And he went back to reading while eating fruit snacks during the 11th hour.
"Pinky?"
Pinky quickly closed the book. "Brain?"
Brain came in rubbing his eyes. At first, Pinky thought Brain was sleepy, it was 9:00 P.M. after all. But then he saw tears in his best friend's eyes.
"Brai-oof!"
Pinky was knocked onto his back by the force of the tackle. He slowly sat back up and listened to Brain as he sniffled and hiccupped a few times. Arms wrapped around Brain and the pink eyed boy looked up at the blue eyed boy.
"Brain? Narf. What's wrong?" Pinky asked.
"I..." Brain rubbed his nose. "Can we just go look at the city lights from the roof?"
Pinky looked at him for a while before picking Brain up while getting himself up. He took the stairway that they took the first time to get to the roof of the lab three days ago. He sat Brain down first before sitting down himself. They looked around at the lights that came from buildings not that far and far away from Acme Labs. Brain scooted closer to Pinky and leaned against the taller boy.
"I missed you, Pinky." Brain told Pinky. "So much."
"I missed you so much too, Brain!" Pinky repeated with a smile. "Poit!"
