Still Alive

Chapter Two: I'm Making A Note Here

The elevator doors opened, showing a white hallway. I walked down it, taking a left once I reach the corner and walking to the edge of a drop off. I popped my leg back, checking my white long-fall boots to make sure they were still working correctly.

In one swift move, I jumped off the ledge and landed on both feet perfectly. There were glass panels separating the room into four parts; one being the part I was standing in, one having a cube sitting in the middle of it, one with a red button, and the last with the next door.

"Please place the weighted storage cube on the fifteen hundred megobot Aperture Science heavy duty super colliding super button," Max/GLaDOS said, making me smile. She always had a thing for giving everything a simple, yet long, name.

I turned around, hearing an orange portal open behind me. Looking through it, I saw the red button before it phased into a different location, the section with the door. I waited, watching the blue portal move around the room, disappearing and reappearing almost instantly, until it came to the cube.

I walked through the portal, picking up the cube before turning around and waiting for the blue portal to appear on the wall again. Once I was back where I started, I waited for the button to appear. Then, after opening the door by setting the cube on the button, I waited for it to reach the door.

As soon as I walked through the portals and into the section with the now-open door, Max/GLaDOS began to talk once more, "Well done, please move quickly to the chamber lock as the effects of prolonged exposure to the button are not part of the test."

I walked out of the testing chamber, through the emancipation grill, and into the next elevator, wondering when Maxi was really going to give me a challenge.

A/N: Shorty chapter once more :D But, then again, I have updated thrice in one day, SO DON'T COMPLAIN!
