Cara didn't know what GLaDOS's definition of "fun" was, but it apparently, it wasn't the past three years. GLaDOS looked as I she had won the lottery, on top of winning a presidential election. GLaDOS just stood there for several minutes in pure and utter bliss. almost like life has paused. But it was short lived.

Because, when it was over, something knocked her out.

Cold.

When Cara woke, she was back in the old dorm room she was living in for the past three years.

Like a bitter-sweet home.

But nothing would be home to her anymore. Not if they weren't around.

A familiar voice came to the speakers, "Finally You're awake!" She said.

Cara sat up, Her gaze was stern, She looked at the camera.

The voice continued, "Now, you missed a couple of things while you were out."

Cara knew it was GLaDOS, but something was different, her voice, it sounded more auto-tuned.

"First of all, I have switched body's again. I am now back in The body I was designed for."

That meant, GLaDOS was back in her chassis. Which wasn't a surprise, She didn't have any further use for it.

"The other thing is, you've been in cyro-sleep.".

Cara's eyes widened.

"For two months.".

"Why didn't you kill me?" Asked Cara, Her voice was raspy from not using it.

"Did you really think that I would destroy the thing that I created? I wouldn't intentionally throw away sixteen years of vital research."

True, Cara thought, That would mean that, I'm staying here forever, not as a test subject. But as... Her daughter. Somewhat.

Cara gritted her teeth.

She got off of the bed, and walked out of the room to the bathroom.

Cara looked in the mirror. She was a complete mess, tear stains were on her cheeks, her black hair was tangled and unhealthy, she still wearing the hospital gown from the surgery. Cara looked at the ingery that she obtained from the deadly Nero-toxin.

It was a a long gash in the middle of her chest, covered with stitches.

She sighed,"Did I really think that I was going to die?" Cara laughed at herself, "I really wasn't thinking there. I am really stupid.".

Days went by slowly for her. nothing to do but eat, sleep, and shower. She would only do those things because if she didn't, there would be nothing for her to live for anymore. GLaDOS noticed the lack of life in Cara spirit, so she was going to surprise her with something.

"Hey Cara," She said through the speakers, "I know you've been a little down since the Moron left." Cara looked away from the camera at the thought of him, "So I got a surprise for you."

Cara jumped at the word "Surprise" the light filled her eyes again.

Her thoughts where swimming, What surprise? Did she get him back? Will she let me out of this room? One thought was bigger that the others.

Is she letting me go?

Cara heard someone talking outside of her door. It was actually more like five different voices.

Oh! What's that? What are we doing? Is she in that room?

Why can't I go back to space? Space was niiiiiiice.

Rick! Anger said my facts aren't true!

Serves you right for telling lies.

QUIET! We missed boss lady's Que!

The door swung open. Cara's eyes widened, hoping it was Wheatley.

But it wasn't.

There were five people at the door.

They were all sixteen year-olds.

The only girl was the first to step forward, She was sandy blonde, with yellow eyes.

Yellow eyes?

"Hi!" She said "Are you Cara? I'm Curie! that's shot for Curiosity Core! Did you know that? I didn't until Boss lady told me!" Curie looked at the mess that Cara was, "Eewwwwww! What happened to you?" She grabbed Cara's wrist, "Come on let's fix you up!".

Curie was dragging her to the bathroom, Cara was mouthing out words to the others.

Help me!

They were laughing to hard to notice.

After about fifteen minutes, Cara came out, Almost completely transformed.

She looked almost normal.

and for the the first time in a long time, she smiled, "I look normal! Thank you, Curie!". Curie laughed, "Come on! Let's go!" She said.

They walked out of the room, and even though Cara didn't know where they were going, she didn't care.
