AN: This is my first Portal 2 story. It's kinda AU, I guess.
This first chapter is basically how Cave and Caroline met. Kinda short, but I like how it turned out.
Let me know what you think.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own any characters from Portal. Only the OC's are mine. (And they will come later on in the story.)
...
It was a hot summer day in a little Michigan town. A little girl is sitting on her front porch, playing with her favorite baby doll. Across the street, just a few houses down, a little boy is coming out of his house, carrying a wooden stand. The little girl recognizes the boy as the new kid, who's family had just moved in a couple weeks ago. She watches him as he puts the wooden stand by the sidewalk, and disappears into his house. Curious, the little girl watches and waits to see if he will come back out. A few minutes later, the little boy comes back out, carring a sign, while his mother brings out a pitcher of liquid. The boy hangs the sign on the front of the stand, and tapes it into place. His mother places the pitcher on it, along with some plastic cups. The little girl reads the sign. "Fresh Cold Lemonade. One dollar." The girl smiles and rushes inside to get her piggy bank. Shaking out the money, she counts out some coins, and runs back outside. She crosses the street and walks up to the stand.
"Hi. I have a dollar."
The boy smiles.
"Ok. Here, you can have this then." He hands her the lemonade, and she hands him the change.
"Thanks." she said. "My name is Caroline. What's yours?"
"Johnathan. But you can call me Cave."
Caroline looked at him funny. "Why Cave?"
"Because caves are cool. And I want to be cool too."
Caroline giggled. "Ok, Cave. Nice to meet you."
Cave smiles. "Nice to meet you too, Caroline."
Cave's mom watches from the porch, thinking to herself. "Such a nice little girl. It'll be nice for Johnathan to make some new friends."
"Well, thanks for the lemonade. Good luck on selling them."
"Thanks!" Cave said, happily.
Caroline walked back to her own house, and went inside.

What do you guys think so far? I've got a few chapters already done, so I'll try to post them up in a timley manner. The next couple of chapters will still be in thier childhoods. I haven't had this much fun with writting a story in a LONG time. So I hope you guys enjoy it too.
If you read, please review. Otherwise I might have to send some combustible lemons your way. :p
