To recap:
Chell recently got let out of the Aperture Science Enrichment Center, and she found herself in a wheat field on a small farm; she got picked up by a police officer who took her to Fort Exon, a city in upper Michigan. The officer took her to a modest motel near the center of the city, and she needed to get a job. So she went to a small coffee shop to apply for a job there. After her interview, she was the witness of an armed robbery, the person they were stealing from was Sadie, and she was supposed to be her mentor for the job. Chell took matters into her own hands and attacked the hooligans, she ran up a fire escape onto the top of a building. One of the robbers shot her long-fall boots so she would lose her balance. The authorities thought she was a crazy lunatic for "Jumping" off the building, so they took her to an insane asylum, to get treated from her concussion and to contain her. Chell escaped, however, and in the process; caught the robbers, who were the current members of the Exon Raiders, and received a reward of $10,000. Meanwhile GLaDOS, frustrated with ATLAS and P-Body's antics, built them a video game to play on Aperture's mainframe computer. And Wheatley was rescued by some part salvagers, and Rick was a friend of theirs. Right now, Chell has the job at the coffee shop, GLaDOS is contemplating the reason for her teasing ATLAS and P-Body, and Wheatley is attempting to find Chell to apologize.
End recap.
Chell walked out of the coffee shop, an uncharacteristically large smile on her face, and waved her last good-byes to the coffee shop employee's until tomorrow. She strolled down the street, whistling cheerfully. She got back to her motel and said hello to the receptionist, who she never really interacted with, and went up the stairs to her room. She looked at it and her smile wavered, it seemed smaller than before. Chell then got an idea, so she went back down the stairs.
"Hello," she said to the receptionist, "Lovely evening isn't it."
"Yes it is." She said, her optimistic tone faint "How can I help you?" her optimistic tone just returned
"I was wondering, could I buy that television and the, y'know, the thing where you play those games on the cartridge with?
"Why do you want it?"
"Because I just noticed that my room was quite small, I need to rent an apartment. And I wanted to keep the game thingy."
"Why, yes, yes you can. Now then, um, that will be twenty dollars for the SNES, fifty for the TV, and two hundred for the room." She said
"That'll be fine." she said handing her the $275, "Thank you, I'll just go get it."
"Good luck." the receptionist said.
"Good luck to you too."
"Now then, um, have you seen a woman, with a wristband on her right arm, cobalt blue eyes, dark brown hair, and a determined look on her face?" Wheatley asked. The man he asked was horrified at the weird ball with the handlebars and the blue, slightly cracked eye.
"Y-yes, she works at t-the coffee shop t-that I go to e-every morning." he said trying to be polite.
"Thank you mister, I 'preciate the help." Wheatley said, and his carrier walked off to the shop in question.
"At last, I'll finally be able to apologize!" Wheatley said excitedly.
