Swimming
The pool was actually pretty big. Chell wanted to make sure no one else would be there, so they went early. 6:30 a.m. She didn't want anyone looking at GLaDOS or the two twins. Okay, maybe the twins. Their human bodies were made to resemble twelve year olds. So it could still make sense that they were just now learning how to swim. GLaDOS? She looked forty! That would be embarassing! Not even GLaDOS would be mean enough to do that.
To demonstrate, Chell put her hand in the water. "See? It doesn't harm anyone. Human kids love swimming." Chell jumped in, splashing Orange. Orange laughed.
"Can I jump in? Please?" She had a begging face on. "Please? Pretty please! GLaDOS, I promise I won't splash you! Please?" Chell shook her head. Orange was most likely to drown. GLaDOS scoffed.
"If anyone was going to jump in, it would be me!" Blue yelled. Orange slapped him. Then they got in a brawl. It was so bad GLaDOS had to tear them apart. GLaDOS was irritated. Those two were giving her wrinkles! Pleadingly, GLaDOS looked at Chell pleadingly. Please start the lesson.
Chell nodded. "Orange and Blue, jump in through the shallow end. GLaDOS, go ahead and jump in now. I won't let you drown." GLaDOS entered slowly, but smiled.
"It's cold." She had said.
"I know. Now, move your legs and arms around. Just try to keep yourself up. I'll be right back." She swam over to Orange and Blue, who were in the shallow water, just splashing eachother. "You two! Do what GLaDOS is doing. Move to the deep end." Splash!
"This is so fun!" Orange yelled. At the time, they were practicing swimming from one end to the pool. Orange was a fast learner, but didn't listen. Blue would listen to every word, but had trouble just standing, as he was short. GLaDOS learned and knew what to do, but was just scared. At 8:00, when they were done, GLaDOS was pleased.
"Chell, did you know? Caroline liked swimming. She just had a horrible moment when she was younger. At Aperture, someone pushed her into a pool and she nearly drowned. I guess that's why I'm timid." At that point, GLaDOS looked sad. Chell put her arm around her, and GLaDOS's optic turned on her. "Thanks. You know, for the swimming. I enjoyed it." Chell nodded in agreement.
At last, breakfast for everyone. They had gone out to celebrate. "Chelly, I had so much fun!" Orange yelled in her ear. "Me and Blue!-"
"You mean Blue and I." GLaDOS corrected.
"Ugh! Blue and I had a splashing contest!" Blue looked at her, and they giggled. Chell laughed, too. They were trying to see who could splash GLaDOS first.
"What?" GLaDOS asked, then took a sip of coffee.
"Oh, nothing.." Blue muttered. Then, he whispered into Orange's ear. "Let's kick her underneath the table!" Orange laughed so hard she choked on her Coke.
"Whatever. Have your secrets." GLaDOS said bitterly. "Hey, Chell? What do they put in this stuff?" She pointed to her coffee, and spoke again "It's amazing." It was obvious. Coffee addict.
Chell was content. They were like a family, in a twisted sorta way. "OW! WHO KICKED ME?" Yup, a family.
A/N- They're short, I know. But shorter stories don't take as long to write! So that means more, but they're just short. XD Ah, swimming. I love to swim.
