-Full Title below-

Wow…10 Chapters…I'm really surprised I made it this far…

BTW everyone go check out APDubtalia's story Portalia, It's so much better then this…=-=;;

Anyway, Just some tests, finding GLaDOS, and conversations.

OOC warning on Italy and GLaDOS just to be safe.

I changed the rating to K+ since…Uhh.. Cave Johnson…He curses a lot..

Surprised no one mentioned the word portaled Last chapter. I love that word xD

Did anyone also notice Italy getting a bit braver each chapter? And smarter? Geez... Imagine everyone's reaction if they saw him now D

I've talked long enough! Shutting up..

Chapter 10- Evil Potatoes and Unexpected Alliances

Cave's voice chimed in again when Italy reached an office looking room.

"There's a thousand tests performed here everyday in our enrichment spheres. I can't oversee every one of them, so these pre-recorded messages'll cover any questions you might have, and respond to any incidents that may occur in the course of your science adventure"

"You're pre-recorded! That's why you don't answer me…" Italy frowned at this realization. Was there no one to talk to?...

Well there was GLaDOS…

"I'll save her! It feels weird to say that…That's usually Germany that says stuff like that" He laughed at the thought, which ending up in him wanting to escape this facility even more. He ran along, hoping to find some way out.

"Alright, let's get started. This first test involves something the lab boys call 'repulsion gel'." Italy was about to ask what 'repulsion' meant, but he remembered Cave was pre-recorded and wouldn't answer.

"You're not part of the control group, by the way. You get the gel. Last poor son of a gun got blue paint." He began laughing. Italy was about to join in when Cave continued. "All joking aside, that did happen- broke every bone in his legs. Tragic. But informative. Or so I'm told." Italy froze; he didn't want to break his legs! That hurts! He stared at the door to the next test, not wanting to go through. But remembering he wanted to get out, he put on a somewhat-determined face and ran through.

In this room he found the floor covered in a blue liquid. He also noticed it was rather slippery, and before long he tripped and began bouncing around the room. He screamed as he frantically looked for somewhere to land. The only place not covered in the blue liquid/gel was the ledge the exit door was on. He tried to get over there, and succeeded in crashing through the door. Cave Johnson's voice chiming in over the speakers didn't help much.

"The lab guys just informed me that I should not have mentioned the control group. They're telling me I oughtta stop making these pre-recorded messages. That gave me a idea: Make more pre-recorded messages. I pay the bills here, I can talk about the control group all damn day." Italy pulled himself up from the heap he'd crashed into. He wiped his eyes too, which had begun to tear up from either the pain of the crash, or from being so lonely. He ran down the walkway, wanting to find someone real.

At the end of the walkway he found himself in another chamber full of repulsion gel. He noticed the door wasn't open, and the only clue he could see was the control room nearby. Cave Johnson had no hints pre-recorded either apparently.

"Maybe the switch is in that room?" Italy was careful when he stepped onto the gel, but he tripped again and was bouncing around again. He crashed through the window of the control room, scaring off a bird that had nested inside.

Wait…A Bird?

"Oh. Hi." GLaDOS's voice came from the nest. Italy shook of the glass, pulled himself up and looked over to the nest. A smile spread across his face.

"Finally! Someone real!" He ran over and hugged the Potato GLaDOS

"AH! Do you always embrace those who try to kill you?" Her sharp tone sacred Italy, and he dropped her back in the nest. Right as he did, and earthquake shook the facility, but ended rather quickly.

"Veh! W-W-What was that?"

"That Idiot.." Italy assumed she was talking about Wheatly "He doesn't know what he's doing up there. This whole place is going to explode if somebody doesn't disconnect him."

"Is there a back up plan for this?" Germany had always told him to have a back-up plan in case something went wrong. He was hoping he didn't have to go back.

"No, I killed everyone in this facility a long time ago." Italy backed up to the wall. "So you embrace those who try to kill you, but you're sacred of those who kill others. Odd.."

"B-B-But…Why?"

"Oh. I could. Either way, how do you plan on stopping that Idiot."

"Uhhh… I didn't know I was supposed to have a plan…" Italy could swear that GLaDOS was glaring sharp objects at him.

"Then take me with you. You can't possibly solve this on your own."

"C-Can I leave afterwards?"

"Yes. You take me back to my old body, I let you go. How does that sound?"

"Veh~! Thank you~!" Italy smiled and grabbed GLaDOS "Wait... I need both hands…What do I do about that?"

"Hmm…The Portal Device is partly made of Magnesium, which should allow this to generate more power. Try attaching me to it." Italy first thought was to stab the potato onto one of the portal guns claws. "OW! You stabbed me-" She cut off for a second before continuing "I was right, good, that's an extra half volt. I'm going to try something-" Static came for the potato, cutting off GLaDOS, along with scaring Italy.

Don't expect a chapter for awhile, unless I'm really motivated. I'm doing the 25 expression challenge for my MANY OC's. I have at least 20 to go...*Sigh*

I actually don't have much to say for once…

Reviews, Critism as to what I can improve on would be nice too, but I can't write criticism to save my life either…
