Hello world, it's supermariogirl! OMG! The number of reviews has DOUBLED since last chapter! Way to go guys! :) And this story has over 500 views! Even though that's not a lot compared to my older stories, I think it's still good. :) Also, I have some news. I finally came up with a name for Male!GLaDOS. It's only a one letter difference, but I just couldn't leave it at just GLaDOS. After I post this chapter, I'm going to edit the older chapters to make him have the new name: Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating Network(GLaDON). I already edited them, but for some reason the horizontal line at the top before the first paragraph of some chapters keep disappearing every time I save. If anyone knows how to fix this glitch, PLEASE tell me so I can update the chapters.
ThoseRedLights: Thanks! And I enjoy making this story. :) I've never played that game, the only thing I know about Poker Night 2 is that GLaDOS is in it. :P And I agree, GLaDOS is probably one of the best villains ever. She's just so awesome, and quotable too, you monster.
CheezyPortalFan: Thank you, I'm GLaD you think my skills are improving. And the whole reasoning behind the experiment will be much more clear later in the story. I wanted for there to be a reason why GLaDON is making Whitney go into the outside world. I've actually read a couple stories where Wheatley just falls from space and wakes up outside as a human for no reason behind it. Also, I think you might have accidentally posted that last review before finishing it. But anyway, I hope to improve my writing even more so this story can keep being enjoyable.
PixelsShattered: Maybe you can get away with making GLaDOS doing your homework, as long as you don't get caught. NOTE: Supermariogirl does not condone the cheating of homework, tests, or anything for that matter. Cheating is bad, kids! Don't do it. BTW, if you're talking about the reference I made in the author's note last chapter, no. That was a reference to a certain fanfic. However, I did make a reference to that saying in the summary of this story. Also, your sister's bunny bit you? Gee, I don't think my little sister's bunny ever bit anyone. Sure, he nibbled on my socks sometimes, but that was it.
Anyway, I'm going off topic, so here's the story.
The Disclaimer Song:
I make stories for me and you,
But I own nothing so please don't sue! Dum!
Whitney looked at him in shock. It was him! The test subject she betrayed! He still had messy black hair, although it wasn't as messy anymore. He no longer wore that orange jumpsuit and white t-shirt with the Aperture logo on it. Now, he was wearing a plain orange shirt with jeans, and his long fall boots were replaced with simple white and gray sneakers. He also still had those gray-blue eyes of determination, but now, they had a bit more of a surprised look. He also looked a bit healthier, too, and maybe a gained a little more muscle. Maybe now GLaDON wouldn't have a reason to call him a wimp anymore. She didn't know what to say at first, but then she has an idea.
"Um, I mean, hey, buddy!" she said, making an awful attempt at imitating an American accent. "Thanks for stoppin' those guys for me! I really appreciate the help." he looked at her with his arms crossed. He wasn't buying it, he knew it was her.
"Okay, uh, time for plan B." Whitney thought to herself. All of a sudden, she dropped down to her knees. "I'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorry!" she rambled on. "I'msorryIreallydidn'tmeantotrytokillyouandIfeelbloodyawfulaboutitandIfeelliketheworstpersoneverforgoingmadwithpowerandIcanleaveifyouwantmetojustpleasedon'thurtME!" words flowed out of her like a fountain, and the former test subject was caught off guard by her reaction. Here was the same personality core that betrayed him and tried to kill him, and for some reason, was now a human, suddenly showing up and literally begging on her knees for forgiveness? It just didn't make sense. It looked too suspicious, but he decided to go along with it. After all, it's not like she had all the power she had when she was trying to kill him. He tapped her shoulder.
"Oh, what? You're not gonna hurt me?" she asked. He nodded. "Oh, that's brilliant! So, you forgive me then?" he shook his head and mouthed the words "not yet".
"Still slient, huh? Oh, so you're not gonna forgive me, but you're not gonna hurt me either? So you're, uh neutral?" he shrugged his shoulders. Then, he pointed to the sky, where the sun was setting. "Oh, don't worry, I know." she walked over and sat on the bench. "See this bench right here? This is where I'm staying. Not much, I know, but for now, this is home sweet home. Or, as the French would say, 'Casa de Whitney'." she said, proudly patting on the bench. The former test subject frowned and shook his head.
"No? What do you mean?" she asked, confused. He made a gesture and mouthed the words, "follow me".
"Um, okay?" she replied, and went along with it. The test subject walked away with Whitney in tow, hoping that this wouldn't be a terrible idea.
They made it to an apartment, an okay looking one. When they walked in, Whitney looked around. The main living room was a decent size, with beige walls, and a tan carpet. The ceiling was also beige. There was a pale, blue couch, with a white coffee table. There was a medium sized television with a cablebox, DVD player, and a game system. Next to the TV was a bookshelf with some DVDs and games in it. On the other side of the TV was a sound system. On another side of the room, there was a window with white curtains, and a table near the window. There was also a kitchen nearby, with a table and some chairs.
"Huh, nice place you got here. This yours?" she asked. He nodded and pointed to the couch. "You want me to sit down? Okay." she sat down. "Wow, much comfier than the bench." The former test subject nodded while grabbing what looked like a notepad and pencil from a table near the window. "Hey, what do you have there?" Whitney asked. He wrote something down on the notepad and handed the page to her. Luckily, one of the things Whitney knew how to do before she became a human was read.
I want to ask a few questions.
"Okay, then." Whitney replied. "Ask away." He wrote down on the notepad again, and handed another page.
How are you here? You were shot into space. And how are you a human?
"Oh, well, you see" Whitney told him. "I was floating around in space, for about five years, I think. I was with that annoying core that wouldn't shut up about space. And I was also with those other two, but they drifted off far, so after I while I couldn't see them anymore. Well, anyway, He came and told me to do Him a favor, but He didn't tell me what it was. So He pulled me from space, and told me that He had an experiment, and he deactivated me, but that's not the end of it! I woke up as a bloody human, and He told me to go to the surface because He needed info on human life or whatever. He sent me outside and I walked around in that wheat field, and after getting pooped on by a furry creature and eating apples, I ended up in the city, you saved me from those crazy blokes over there, and here we are now!" she took a deep breath after saying all of that. He looked at her with a bit of suspicion. He believed her, but was surprised that GLaDON would want to know about the outside world. Well, there were a lot of things he would never understand about that supercomputer. He thought for a minute, then wrote something down. He handed another paper to her.
Alright, I've decided to let you stay here, but you're sleeping on the couch, and you have to earn your stay. It will take a while for me to forgive you.
"Alrighty then! Thank you for letting me stay! I'll try not to let you down!" she exclaimed. He rolled his eyes. "Oh, by the way, I never got your name. Can you tell me what it is?" she asked. He sighed, then wrote down on the notepad and handed it to her.
My name is Chett.
And that was chapter 6! Sorry if it was short. Next chapter will be longer. In fact, I'm looking forward to next chapter. Next time on Another Chance, we will be returning to Aperture to see how GLaDON is doing with this whole experiment.
I hope this chapter wasn't rushed or anything. I hope Chett isn't a stupid name or anything, but it was either that or Chad, and Chett seemed closer to Chell.
But anyway, thanks for reading, and remember to leave constructive criticism!
