8:30 p.m.

No explaining. Straight to recap.

Recap:

I opened the door and she was exactly as I pictured.

"Well you found me. Congratulations. Was it worth it? Because despite your violent behavior, the only thing you managed to break so far, is my heart..."

Nothing was out of the ordinary. Just like playing Portal!

"...And Stephanie's."

She's not supposed to say that! I thought to myself in horror.

"Stephanie's?"

"Yes, Stephanie's. You broke her heart."

"What? How?"

"I'll show you. Deploying surprise in 5... 4..."

"Haha, nice try! You are programmed to make a core fall!"

"OH, AM I?"

"...Oh God, no."

"This isn't a game. This is reality. I can do WHATEVER. I. WANT!"

"Oh God!"

"3... 2... 1... "

Then a GIANT arm came bursting out of the wall, making dust and pieces fly. After it was cleared up, I was shocked to see Stephanie in her grasp.

"David!" Stephanie cried at me.

"Oh, is that your name? Your lilshreck, aren't you? That guy who claims to have beat Portal a million times?"

"H-How do you know me?!"

"I know all, David."

You have no clue how freaking scary that is for an evil machine like her to call you by your REAL. NAME.

The arm then began to come towards me, with Stephanie in its grasp.

"You want to see her again, right? Then you must complete a number of tests to get her."

"...Just tests?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, is that too easy for you? How about I time it? And when it runs out, your little friend dies."

"Help me, David!" Stephanie cried.

"Okay, okay! No more GLaDOS! I can do that!"

"No, that's not enough. How about I kill your other friends too?"

"My other friends? They're already dead, GLaDOS. You should know that."

"Oh, really?"

Another arm came through the wall, and to my surprise, Matt and Elena were in its grasp too.

"OKAY OKAY! How much time?"

"5 minutes to complete 10 of them. Your time starts now!"

A door came flying open. I ran as fast as I could to the door.

"The Enrichment Center wishes you the best of luck!"

I can't write every test I did, but there were about 5 turrets AT LEAST in each test. I competed all of them, and when I was finished, I was shocked at the time.

"5:05"

I lost.

"Well, well, well. Look who came just in time to watch his friends die!"

"Oh no! Please let them go!"

"I can't do that, David. YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT."

The two arms went over the open incinerator.

"Please no!"

"You chose this path. Now I have a surprise for you. Deploying surprise in 5... 4..."

Then all of a freaking sudden, we heard a car motor. GLaDOS stopped the arms and everyone froze. It got more and more loud, which means it was getting closer and closer to the building. Whoever was planning on doing this was crazy, I mean, a car can't fly through a building like Aperture Science.

But to my surprise, a car burst through the building, knocking Stephanie, Matt, and Elena out of the arms grasp, and also knocking a core out of GLaDOS. Whoever did this was a hero!

"Time out for a second, that wasn't supposed to happen."

Then, of all people in this world, guess who jumped out of the car...

LARA.

No, not Lara Croft. LARA, Lara.

Did you forget her already?

She's also known as...

MY MOTHER.

"Mom!"

"David!"

We ran towards each other, hugging each other.

"I thought you died!"

"Just one little knife doesn't kill a woman like me."

Then GLaDOS tried to get our attention.

"Do you see that thing that fell out of me? What is that? It's not the surprise... I've never seen it before."

"Never mind. It's a mystery I'll solve later... by myself... Because you'll be dead."

Then an arm attempted to grab me, grabbing my mother instead.

God, someone give her a break!

"Let go of me!"

GLaDOS pulled her up to the machine's face.

"Aw, so you're David's mother..."

"What the hell do you want?"

"I want you, him, and his friends dead."

"No! You're not hurting my son!"

"You don't have a choice. You can't stop me."

While they argued, I picked up the core. Unfortunately, GLaDOS noticed me.

"Where are you taking that thing?"

She dropped my mom, knocking the wind out of her.

"Let's be honest, neither one of us knows what that thing does. Just put it in the corner, and I'll deal with it later."

I decided to do something... different to her.

So I ran to a nearby machine, and threw it in there.

The whole place started shaking as usual. Except nothing exploded.

"You are kidding me."

"Did you just throw that Aperture Science Thing We Don't Know What It Does into an Aperture Science HUMANAIZER?"

Oooooohhhh ****… I thought in horror.

"That has got to be the dumbest thing that-whoah. Whoah, whoah, whoah."

Dust flew off of the machine. She wasn't lying. The label said:

"HUMANIZER. DO NOT TOUCH."

"RUN!" I yelled.

But it was too late; panels started clearing up the holes.

"What have you done to me?!" GLaDOS yelled in absolute terror. That's new.

"Ooooohhhh crap!" I said out loud.

"I'm-I'm- a human!"

Stephanie started screaming. Matt started shaking. Elena backed in horror. Lara tried to protect me.

What have I done?

GLaDOS stepped out of the machine.

Yep, that's right, I said STEPPED.

She was pretty, but I saw through her disguise.

She was still the old GLaDOS, except now more ACCESSIBLE.

Her voice was... about the same, add a touch of human.

"David!"

"I'm sorry! Don't hurt me!"

She ran towards me, and pinned me to the ground.

Holy crap, she was now accessible. Fully accessible.

Of course, her knowledge didn't change. She's still very smart, just will forget like us humans.

"Oh, I'm gonna kill you!"

I screamed.

Then, I remembered.

The car.

She saw me looking at the car.

"You're not going anywhere!"

"EVERYONE! GET IN THE CAR!" I yelled.

GLaDOS called a turret down, shooting at the car.

By the way, the car was a Chevy Silverado.

No wonder it burst through the building like that.

One of the turret's bullets shattered the car window.

"David! Help us!" Stephanie cried.

I managed to get free from GLaDOS's grasp, ran inside the driver's seat, and slammed the gas.

"David! You don't have a license!"

"That's not important, mom!"

Though you know what I forgot?

Portal takes place in the Half-Life universe, right? That means any car from Half-Life is still accessible.

So GLaDOS called a Buggy down.

Oh, great.

I was surprised to see she was a good driver!

Well, not really.

Anyways, she was on our tail! I could tell what she was trying to do. She was trying to turn our car around so we could head towards Aperture Science.

And she actually did it. I tried turning around, but she was making our car go forward. But when we were heading towards Aperture Science, something was coming down from the sky.

It was white, with a blue light in it.

"What is that thing, David?" Stephanie asked in terror.

"That's Wheatley."

"Oh, good!" Lara said.

"That may not be a good thing, Mom."

"Why not?"

"He could still be evil."

"Oh, no!" Stephanie exclaimed.

"How are we going to determine that he's still evil?" Matt asked.

I sighed and said: "Only one way to find out."

We came closer and closer to the building, then eventually crashing in to it AGAIN. Our car hit Wheatley and guess where he went... right in to the Humanizer, AGAIN.

He screamed as his core was being transformed into a human.

"Oh, jeez!" I said.

"You idiot!" GLaDOS yelled at me. My mom stepped in, trying to calm her down.

"It wasn't his fault!"

"I don't care WHOSE fault it is at this point! That moron is going to kill us all!"

"Wheatley?" I asked her.

"Yes! That core has a memory system that is set up when his personality changes, it stays with him FOREVER!"

"...Can we trust you?" I said.

"Yes!"

"I don't know... you are a liar,"

"I know I am, but this is an actual emergency!"

"HERE'S COMPANYYYY!" Said a familiar voice.

"Oh crap! Get in!"

We again slammed the gas, driving from Wheatley's wrath.

He got the damaged (but usable) Buggy, and attempted to turn us around, like GLaDOS did. Except this time, he didn't do it right. So instead of us turning around, our car did FLIPS.

We did about 20 of them, knocking out everyone in the car. Even GLaDOS was out, which was weird, since she was a Genetic Life-form who controls an entire building. I woke up an hour later, everyone else still out.

I tried to wake up the nearest person, which was GLaDOS in the front-passenger seat.

"Hey, wake up!"

She opened her eyes and stared at me.

"Hi."

"Hey."

She turned her head to look out the shattered window.

"Are you okay?"

She looked down at her-self. Blood was everywhere.

"I'm bleeding?"

"Yes. That's why you feel weak."

"Huh. I feel... powerless."

"Yeah, me too."

She turned her head to look at me, and smiled.

Smilied.

"Oh jeez. That's so weird."

"What?"

"You... you showed emotion. It's so rare for a person like you, no offense."

"Yeah, I never am happy."

"Oh, I wouldn't put it like that."

She giggled and looked out of the open window again. She started moaning in pain.

"It's painful...!"

"That's how we humans feel when we got shot by a sentry, hit by an energy orb, and so on and so forth. It never feels good."

"Wow, I never looked at it that way..."

She then stared at me.

"Oh God, I can't believe I'm saying this..." she said."I'm sorry about you and your friends."

"You actually are sorry about something?"

"Yes."

"Wow, thanks. Just please don't do it again. It makes us sad to see our family and friends being treated like that."

"I won't."

We stared through the windshield, thinking about her being sorry.

Then it hit me.

"Oh God."

"What's wrong, David?"

"My friends!"

"Oh no!"

We both jumped back to see the back seat. Everyone was bloody.

I tried waking up my mom, but to no avail.

"Mom! Wake up!"

"Come on! Please stay here!"

I checked her pulse.

Dead gone.

"Mom no!"

"She died, didn't she?" GLaDOS asked me.

I was crying hard. "Yes! She's gone!"

She stared at me thinking.

"Wait. I got it! Remember my hobby being to re-animate the dead?"

"You actually DO that now?"

"Yeah, wasn't lying there."

"Bring her back!"

"Umm... well, to do that, the user has to sacrifice him or her-self. For example, say I bring your mom back. Then I am giving my life to her, so that means I would die almost instantly."

"We can't do that then. Is there any other way?"

"Well, I could give her a PORTION. That means that she will have enough life to start breathing, but I on the other hand will live a shorter lifespan than usual."

"Are you fine with doing that?"

She started to sit there thinking. She's not going to do it! I know her, and she does not do things for people.

"Oh, fine."

I stared at her in disbelief.

"You would do that for me?"

She sighed and said:

"Yes, I would."

"Thank you, GLaDOS!"

"Oh, can you call me Caroline?"

"You like that name?" I thought out loud.

"Yeah, don't you think it sounds nice?"

"I do."

She smiled. Then she started the process.

It was VERY colorful. Half of her life was given to my mother, awakening her.

"Mom? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm okay."

I smiled at her, and she kissed me.

"I love you, Mom."

"I love you too."

We stopped hugging and kissing, and that's when she spotted Caroline.

"Why is she here?"

"She saved you, Mom!"

"I actually did, we're not making this up." Caroline said to her.

"Please be nice to her, Mom. She won't hurt us."

She stared at Caroline for a minute and said:

"Oh, okay. But I am watching her."

"Thanks Mom."

Then Stephanie and the others woke up.

Stephanie screamed in terror when she saw Caroline.

"Stephanie, it's okay! Calm down!"

"She's going to kill me!"

"No, she won't!"

But it was too late, because Matt pulled out a pistol and shot at Caroline.

She screamed in pain as she fell to the car floor.

"Caroline!"

"Caroline? Who's that?"

"It's who you just SHOT!"

"She was going to hurt Stephanie!"

"No she wasn't!"

I got some first-aid and helped her with it.

She seemed to be okay.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Nice friends you have there."

"Hey, shut up will ya?" Matt said to Caroline in a mad way.

"He didn't mean to hurt you; he was just scared that you would do something to them again."

"Oh, okay."

After everyone calmed down, GLaDOS noticed something.

She gasped and said

"Wheatley!"

"Oh God!" I said out loud.

I slammed on the gas, driving toward the open building. This time, I stopped before we could hit the building. I swear, one more time, and that place would have just crumbled to the ground.

We went inside of the building. Wheatley was nowhere to be found.

But, the big door was open, and so was the normal lab door.

"Wheatley's been here." I said suspiciously. "We need to find him."

So we walked out of GLaDOS' chamber and into the main hallways. We 'followed his tracks' supposedly; all we did was follow the trail of wide-open doors.

"He isn't very smart, is he?" I said, trying to be funny.

"He's a moron." Caroline said.

"You better not tell him that, he will kill you."

"Him? Killing me?" She started laughing. "Don't be so foolish, he couldn't kill me if he tried."

"I don't know... you should be careful about what you say. He's very powerful now."

Stephanie started trembling.

"Keep moving, Stephanie. I won't let him hurt you." I said, trying to cheer her up.

She nodded.

Then, the place started shaking, the lights flickering on and off. There were high pitched squeals of machinery, like the place was shifting. Stephanie hugged me in fear; I could tell she was scared for her life. I was too.

We looked out of a nearby window, and I was getting scared. Why? Well,

I was right.

The whole place was SHIFTING. It was being moved. Then we hit something, knocking everyone to the ground. Everything was still after that, it was like it never happened. Then we heard motors and tools working from a distance, which was weird.

"What's happening, David?" Stephanie said to me in a fearful, but mostly calm voice.

"I don't know, it sounds like something is being added. But what could it be...?"

Caroline looked down at her arm, which opened and a screen showed.

From that camera, we saw the human Wheatley, working to create a door into a wall.

"He's adding a door into the wall." Caroline said.

"Why is he doing that?" I asked.

"I don't know, probably wants to test more."

"Great, he probably wants us."

We walked toward the sound of the 'maintenance', and found ourselves in the 19th test chamber. AKA The Cake Chamber.

"Ah, good! It's you guys!" Wheatley said in a cheerful voice. "Listen, this is genius listen, I had a brain-wave, and it was this - How about, we link the old, buggy Aperture Science to the NEW Aperture Science! Isn't that great? Double the testing! I moved the building, to its location, and now THE TESTING WILL CONTINUE!"

"God, you're so annoying." Caroline said in an un-amused way.

Wheatley gasped, and then started laughing in surprise. "Well look who it is!"

"Yeah, it's me. So what?"

"So I can make you test too!" Wheatley observed Caroline. "Wow, that body is beautiful!"

"I'm not attracted to you at all."

The door made a *ding* noise. "Door Addition Completed." said a voice-over.

"Oh, good! Watch this, you're gonna love this."

Wheatley opened the metal door, revealing Chamber 1 of Portal 2.

"Isn't that neat? You guys can test, again!"

"No!" said Stephanie, attempting to be brave. I was proud of her.

"Oooo, who is this beautiful girl over here?"

"Get away from me!"

"Feisty, I love it! We should get married!"

"I'm only 12, creeper!"

Wheatley started laughing then said "No law in my book about that!"

Stephanie went over to me and held the side of me.

"She doesn't love you, okay?" I said, defending Stephanie.

"I don't care! I'm going to marry her!"

"No! She doesn't want that!"

"Again, I-DON'T-CARE!"

He was trying to pull those 'force the marriage' type of things. I wasn't going to tolerate it.

"You're not going to for as long as I'm here to stop you!"

I shouldn't have said that, because he pulled out some weird fire-arm and aimed it at me.

I put my hands up and was backed up into a wall.

"For as long as you're here, huh? What about if you're not here!?" He said, the gun ready to shoot.

Gonna die, gonna die, gonna die! I thought.

Matt grabbed him and pulled him away from me. While Wheatley was falling, he shot his gun, hitting Matt in the leg. Matt screamed and used his other leg to kick him continuously, knocking him out. He cursed at the body. Elena ran to Matt to see if he was okay.

"Hey, are you okay, Matt?" Elena asked him worried.

"Yeah, I'm fine. We need to watch him; he's going to wake up soon."

And that's where I am writing this now. Soon we are going to go in to the door and investigate. But for now, we are preparing.
