Chell groaned as she sat up in the small space. It appeared to be moving, and it… was… pitch-black in here. Really? REALLY? First a pitch-black room IN HER OWN HOUSE [or at least, she thought it was in her house…], and now another one in god-knows-where? Fate must be laughing at her from the skies.
'I may soon develop a phobia of the color black…' she thought to herself. Then the thing she was in stopped moving. She leapt to her feet, wary of what might happen next. The door opened, and-
"Hello, dear! How was your trip?" The woman who had opened the large door to the moving van smiled sweetly.
'What… the… HELL?' thought Chell. 'I don't know you! Where the &%# am I?' It was at this moment Chell wished this woman knew ASL, because even though her hands were creating words to dirty to repeat in this fan-
'A brick falls out of the Fourth Wall'
Eh heh heh, I mean, just too dirty to repeat, it also meant she had no form of communication with the woman.
'Great, just great…' Chell muttered in her head. 'Now I can't talk to anyone. My day is turning out WONDERFULLY.'
"Honey? What's up? Aren't you excited to be at our new house? That you'll be able to see Dad again?" the woman was clearly puzzled at Chell's behavior. "Chell? C'mon, let's go inside!" She grabbed Chell's hand and began fairly dragging Chell inside the house.
'WHAT? Lady, you're not my mom and he's not my dad, because you two are dead, how the hell did you know my name, and WHERE ARE WE?' Chell wanted to scream, but she was mute, and therefore could do nary a thing as she was pulled inside the house and told to go set the clock in her room. By a psycho woman who thought Chell was her daughter. Oh lord.
'Well, last time I checked, it was… 2:15. So there, that's done. Now, what else is in this room?' Chell looked around. There was a computer, a journal, a bed, and a T.V. Chell sat down at the computer.
'Lessee here… Chell's PC? How does everyone here know my name? Well… Withdraw item? 1 Potion? Potion of what? Oh well, YES.' *ITEM WITHDRAWN. HAVE A NICE DAY. * The computer droned. Chell felt around in her bag, and suddenly-
'Where did this come from?' Chell held up a small spray bottle of sorts. It had purple decal on it. As soon as she touched it, something- Chell didn't know what- said *THIS IS A POTION, A SPRAY-TYPE MEDICINE FOR POKÉMON. IT RESTORES 20 HP.* Well, there was that mysterious 'Pokémon' thing again. What was it? As Chell pondered this, her 'mom' called from downstairs.
"HONEY? GET DOWN HERE, YOUR FATHER'S ON T.V.!" Chell sped down the stairs and screeched to a halt in front of the woman. *We brought you this utterly useless report from Petalburg City. Next: Poliwag get wet! Three straight hours of Water Pokémon in the water…*
"Oh. You missed it. Well, then why don't you go see Prof. Birch's kid?" Chell was shoved out the door in an instant, and it locked behind her with a cheery, "I hear he's cute!"
'What? I don't even know where he lives! WHAT KIND OF MOTHER ARE-' Then she noticed the house directly across from them. 'Oh.' Chell set off in the direction of the other house, still wondering exactly WHAT she had gotten into.
A/N: *sigh* Sorry, it's STILL a bit short. I just… urg. BUT THERE WILL BE POKÉMON IN THE NEXT CHAPTER! Guess who her first Pokémon will be? [Out of the Hoenn starters] I'll give you a hint: Button. Heh, that's all I'm going to say. One word. Button.
I am going to update frequently, VERY frequently [i.e. once or maybe even twice a day], because I'm on vacation in Florida to see my dad and grandparents and uncle and aunt and cousins, and when we're not doing anything, I can have all the video game time I want! So expect updates. And lots of em! And THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for reviewing! I was so excited that I got reviews on my stories, I was jumping around and my dad was like "What happened?" So… yeah! Yay! ^-^
GLaDOS: And she broke my aural receptors. Again.
