Chapter 4
"Wake up! It's time for you to wake up and get a job interview!" Caroline yelled through the door.
"Okay! I'm up!" I pulled my tank top and pants on. I left my jacket in the room, because of the Aperture logo on it. Stupid orange pants.
I looked in the big mirror on the wall, and flinched. My hair was full of undoubtedly, unbrushable tangles. I grabbed a pair of scissors and started cutting.
By the time I finished, my hair was at the bottom of my chin. It really didn't look too bad. Then I started brushing it and found I loved this style! Now I looked… Well presentable. I went downstairs and grabbed some bacon. As I did, Craig said, "Bacon is the best meat from a cow. It has all nutrients you will need for years."
"I'm sure it does Craig…." I lied.
"Just eat," Honey told him. "You can tell us all some more facts later, after you have some food in your stomach."
After I finished my bacon, I looked at the address of the science center I'd be going to. Then I mapQuested the directions. "Bye!" I called and left.
"Hmmm…. You seem very qualified for this job. You're in good shape…. You're fit. Just give us a few days to think it over, and we'll get back to you," the manager said.
"Thank you," I replied. I didn't really feel like testing anymore, but I figured this could be good practice for the return to Aperture. I had a feeling it'd be even harder without GLaDOS running things.
On the way home, I ran into Honey. She was bursting to tell someone her good news. "I got the job! I love the bakery! My boss is so sweet (no pun intended)! I start tomorrow!"
"That's great!" I said and gave her a hug.
Soon we were home. Craig was on the computer, looking himself up. He pulled up a website and a huge smile spread across his face. I looked and saw he was on craigslist. "There's a list named after me!" he yelled. "Fact, craigslist is the best website on the internet."
I couldn't help it. I cracked up laughing so hard, I snorted. I hadn't done that in so long, I laughed harder! Even Honey gave a little giggle.
"Who's making dinner tonight?" GLaDOS called.
"I will!" Honey answered. "Chell, do you want to help me?"
"Sure, but I don't know anything about cooking."
"Don't worry. I'll help you put together a salad. It's easy."
She led me into the kitchen and got me tearing lettuce apart, and putting it in a bowl. Then I chopped up some tomatoes, broccoli, and cucumber. I added bacon bits, cheese, and croutons too. Then I got the dressing out. But as I tried to pour it onto the salad, it squirted all over me.
I ran to grab my jacked, then went to the laundry room on the second floor. While my tank top was washing, I wore my jacket.
For dinner, we had salad, burgers, and fries. Craig told us all about craigslist while we ate. Curiosity kept it going, because of all the questions she was asking. Finally, he ran out of facts and said flat out, "Fact, you talk too much."
Curiosity's cheeks burned bright red. "Sorry…."
"Don't worry about it," Morality told her. "That's why you're going to school tomorrow."
Author's note: I tried to add a lot more Craig.
