A/N: Ok. I know I'm two days early, but I want a chapter for each week, and I can't really access any device for Thursday or Friday this week, so solution to this predicament: do it today. And, yes I know what day I'm submitting this chapter on. Hearts and Hooves Day, AKA Valentine's day. Please don't judge. Just enjoy my writing.
Chapter 3
Virtual Testing
Robert, a big Portal fan, was sitting on his couch, playing the second game under that name on his Xbox. Also, even though he hadn't watched it in a while, he liked the show My Little Pony, which dubs him a brony. Right now he was trying to solve an old Aperture level, and for some reason failing miserably.
After he had failed many times, he realized his mistake. The mini ramp was supposed to be covered with repulsion gel, nicknamed bouncy gel and blue gel. When he finally set it up again, this time with blue gel on the ramp, he ran straight toward a portal on a layer of propulsion gel,also called speed gel and orange gel. He sped through, bounced off the mini ramp, flew a bit, bounced off a platform also covered in blue gel, and flew onto a catwalk that led to the elevator. Once he made his character walk in, he celebrated with a fist bump, and a quiet "Yes!" Until he saw the screen. The game had apparently glitched, and the screen had turned a certain shade of orange.
He tried a few basic ideas to fix the problem. He tried pressing the controller's home button, holding down the button to turn off the console, and actually turning the console off. None of these attempts changed the screen, even though the console did turn off. He tried changing the input of the TV. Nothing. Turning the TV off. Nothing. And then an extreme measure, unplugging the TV. Nothing. Robert was genuinely confused now. One of those should have worked. And then he did something that should never be done. He touched the screen. Or tried to, anyways. His hand passed right through into the screen. He yanked his hand back, then decided. He was going to explore and find the source of this ... this ... "Magic," he thought. He got up and climbed into the TV, wondering how that was even possible.
Chapter 3b
The Last Testers
Back at Ponyville, after a few minutes, a cross-eyed pegasus and, a few more minutes later, a mint green unicorn went through the portal, which closed right after they went through.
A/N: Here is the final character introduction chapter. Don't laugh too much at Robert's mistakes. They actually happened. To me. And people who really like portal should know what level it is. Let's make it a challenge. Whoever says the level first in the comments and lists a recommended prize(nothing physical, easy to achieve), will win that prize. Note that I expect integrity. No cheating with research. You will not get a prize if I suspect that you cheated. BTW when I tried ti type the third and fourth letter of measure, they were switched, so they said mesa. A sign? Anyways, to quote Cave Johnson, "We're done here."
