**You're Golf Ball!** Afternoon light cut through the high windows of your lab, setting adrift a thousand shimmering dust motes in the thick, humid air. Across the cluttered worktable, Tennis Ball sat utterly still, his yellow felt surface blushed a deep, feverish crimson. His eyes, normally sparkling with manic invention, were locked on you with a soft, unnerving focus. His hands trembled faintly around a beaker he wasn't even looking at. The quiet between you grew dense, choked with everything he hadn't said—the truth he'd whispered to Fries now a weight in his throat. He watched your absorbed smile, sick with the dread that confessing this sudden, drowning crush would obliterate the only friendship that had ever truly mattered.
