Author's note: Hey guys! Thanks for the reviews and such. ^^ Anyway, so, August, thanks for pointing out the comma mistake and about how Wheatley was rushing. I hope I fix everything up in this chapter. Now, onto the story!

WHEATLEY'S P.O.V.

As I stood nervously,the unknown woman glared at me. Then,she suddenly pulled a notepad and pencil out of her pocket,writing something down. She handed it to it me.

Okay,Wheatley. How the hell did you become human? And,also on the topic of you,how did you get back from space?!

I stared at her.

There was silence before I asked."...Chell?" She nodded and crossed her arms across her chest. "Oh God,Chell!" I nearly leapt at her,hugging fiercely. I felt her tense up under my hug. Then,I was suddenly crying on her shoulder. "I'm sorry. I'm so,so sorry. It wasn't me,I promise. It was HER 'itch',not mine. All I thought of was testing,testing,testing,that thought never leaving my I was in space-" She pushed me away and I heard a slight growl in the back of her throat. "Ch-Chell?" I was taken back. What had HAPPENED to her when I went crazy?

She grabbed her notebook off of the table,writing furiously.

Why are you here!? I thought you were in space!

"Well,I was but,uh-" She cut me off by shoving her notebook in my face.

Explain everything now.

"Uh,sure,luv... Well,you know the story of me floating around in space for a while. Then,out of the blue,SHE had me back in Aperture! She put me in this... this machine and all I felt was pain! When I opened my optic,I had two! It was livid! Took me a while for me to get used to using legs and arms,but when I did,she shoved a portal gun in my hand and had me solve tests! After I tested,she put me in a lift without the portal gun and I was outside. Oh,and could I smell! There was this tall plant wherever I looked,and it smelled amazing! I think it was called..." I trailed off when I saw her laughing silently. Chell never laughed,or barely smiled for that matter. "Luv,w-why are you laughing?" She held up a finger for me to wait for her to catch her breath and wrote something down.

It's just the thought of you testing. Jesus,Wheatley. Is that why it took you so long to get to me?

I felt my face heat up and I looked away. "Um,well... I guess..." I said quietly.

CHELL'S P.O.V.

Hearing his story had made me laugh, not because of his ramblings, but because it was him rambling. I suddenly realized just how long I had last seen my friend/enemy.

Three years... I thought. Three years since I had last seen him.

"Chell..." His voice was like a child's, trying not to get into trouble with his parents. "I'd like you to know that... That you were all I could think of up there in space. I thought of how sorry I was, how I wished I could just see you again..."

I felt my face heat up slightly, but most likely not enough for him to notice. Carefully, I wrote out a question that had been in my mind for a while now.

Wheatley, when I wrote that I was mute... Why did you say all that? About what happened? I could have just been a random person who was mute...

He shrugged slightly.

"It somehow felt... right to say it. I don't know why, but deep down, it just felt right to tell you..." Wheatley ran a hand through his grimy hair and sighed. "Sorry for making you run away,luv... I just was tired and careless and I had felt terrible..." I nodded,mouthing that I understood.

My legs suddenly seemed like lead as I talked to him, so I walked around him and sat down onto the couch,patting the cushin next to me for him to sit.

Looking at me curiously, he sat down a bit too close for comfort, and I scooted away.

After a long silence, Wheatley was the one who broke the awkwardness. "So,um,were you always mute or...?" I shook my head and a look of surprise shot across his face. "No? What happened?"

I chose not to speak in response to HER, only responding with hand signs, which had made her quite angry, I wrote. So,she had flooded the room I was in with this knockout gas,and the last thing I remember hearing was,"You won't speak for me? Well, then, guess we'll have to fix that...' I took a deep breath and continued to write.

The next time I woke up in the room, when I tried to speak, only some sounds came out. I thought it was almost a dream come true, no more talking, no more yelling. But then you came along, making me wish I could speak again, just to tell you what had happened...

There was silence once again as I looked at everything besides him.

"Ah..." Was all he said
