"Come on! Hello! Is anyone here! Is anyone still alive?" she shouted. She was speeding through the hallways on the test observation floors. The place was like a ghost town.

Every single office, observation deck, and hallway she came across was deserted. Computer screens covered in dust and chairs knocked over. Ceilings caved in and glass windows shattered. Parts of the cement walls had crumbled blocking the hallway, so she would have to find another way through. It was like she was in a huge maze and there was no end, just dead ends.

After what felt like days of wandering, but in all likely hood was probably only two hours, she collapsed against a wall. Breathing heavily, she slid down the wall into a sitting position.

She had only come out of stasis that had lasted nine years. 'Good god a suspension state lasting that long probably caused some brain damage.' she started to think then smacked herself in the face.

"Oh wow like that wasn't obvious!" she said baffled by her stupidity.

She buried her face in her arms perched atop her knees. "God damn it... I'm so stupid..."she whispered. She didn't know why she whispered it wasn't like anyone could hear her. She needed to stop and think. If she did that then maybe she'd remember this place.

She closed her eyes and tried her best to recall something, anything that could help her find her way. She sat there trying to sort through what she knew, but the fact that she couldn't remember anything on top of the eerie feeling she was getting from this place began to get to her.

No. She can't do that. She can't let this get to her. She began to massage her temples. If she could just remember something...

"Bunny?"

Her head shot up so fast she smacked it on the wall.

"Ooooow!" she said. Her hands flew up to hold the injury but another pair of hands got there first.

She froze. Not only because of the hands but because the hall was no longer filled with debris and rubble. The floors were clean white and black tile, the walls and ceiling were brand new looking, and painted white.

What the hell was going on?

"Oh no! Sorry bunny! Didn't mean to scare you. Just me luv, Wheatley." Suddenly, she felt a warm hand on her cheek and her head was being turned to her right. "See?"

She was now face to face with the ginger boy from the photo, and he looked exactly the same.

So many questions began to race through her mind. Why hadn't he gotten any older? Why was he here still? When did the facility get repaired? What was happening?

She barely had enough time to register anyone these before her lips began to move.

They spoke of their own accord. It was like she was mouthing the words of a recorded message. A recorded message she had never heard before.

"Oh... Hey..." She said. Her voice was different. It had moved up a few octaves. She sounded like a teenager.

"What do you want?" She snapped at him. Wait she was mad at him now?

"They told me to come and find you. Like I needed to be told twice." He replied. Now that she was paying attention to him, she noticed he had a slight British accent.

"All of them or just Cave... Did he send you to come and retrieve his precious test subject? The test subject that can help him finish his oh, so, important project." she said, fingers curling into fists. She was really angry.

"Oh my god, are you joking?" He stood and took the bridge of his nose between his fingers. "Do you really think I'm that low? That he didn't lose all the respect I've ever had towards him as soon as he said that? You must really think I'm a shallow son of a bitch then?"

She shot up off the floor absolutely livid. "Maybe I do! You didn't defend any of us! You just stood there watched! He said all those things about us and you didn't care enough to join in our trying to defend ourselves." Her voice had risen to a shout.

Now it was his turn to be angry. "You don't think I wanted to!" He shouted back. "Bunny I would have beaten him to death if he wasn't the only reason we can bend to rules and see each other!" His voice had steadily risen to the point where people had begun to emerge from their offices to find out what was going on.

He noticed this and took her by the hand. "Come on let's go somewhere more private." She glared at him but let him walk her through the hallways, up a few flights of steps, through another hall, and to a door marked "Main Computer Control".

He opened the door, pulled her in after him, and shut the door behind them.

"Ok now, where was I?" He said sitting in an office chair. She didn't respond. She had recognized the room they were in, and it made her want to cry.

It was a control room like any other. There were buttons, switches, dials, and colorful lights, but what had shaken her was what she saw through the one-way glass in the wall.

There she saw it. The thing her mom had been working to finish the last few years. GLaDOS.

A glass cylinder stood in the center of the huge circular room. The base of the tube was connected to the ground by a raised platform. The top of the cylinder was connected to the ceiling and had three, huge, white halo looking things surrounding it.

Thousands of wires hung down from them, connecting them to the top of the glass tube. Quite a few of them were wrapped around the top of the glass. From there they ran across the ceiling and down under the floor. She didn't know where they led but she didn't really care to learn the few times she accompanied her mother there.

What she had cared about most was inside the cylinder. A woman, an artificially intelligent woman, floated there behind the glass. She didn't look a day over thirty.

Her hair was short, and cut to her shoulders. Her forehead hidden by a curtain of neatly cut bangs. The hair wasn't really a specific color. If you looked closely every follicle was one of three colors: black, grey, or white.

She was dressed in a grey jumpsuit. The legs of the suit went down to the middle of her thigh. The arms stopped in the middle of her upper arm. She wore neither shoes nor any type of gloves, so you could see her small feet and hands. Perfect and bare.

Her skin was smooth and pure white in color. No marks whatsoever ever. She looked like a perfect human being. The only mark to be seen was the aperture logo printed in black across her left cheek.

Wheatley had noticed her focus on the woman and said, "She was a genius, Coraline was. She made her didn't she? Planed it and everything."

"Yeah I know... She was amazing... She even designed the body... Right down to the last skin cell..." She said.

He sat there for a moment silently as if contemplating something. Then he spoke, " I don't think he meant what he said back there bunny. He was grieving too."

She sighed. "I know... I just... It wasn't ok..."

"You're right... I know... But he was sorta right... We do need to get back to work."

"Yeah... She wouldn't have wanted us to stop working on her account." She stood now too but before she could leave Wheatley stopped her.

He took both her hands in his own and looked her in the eyes.

She turned her eyes downward away from his. He had this way of looking at her that always made her heart flutter.

"What is it?" she squeaked. (A/N: haha squeaked get it? Didn't even mean for that to happen)

"Nothing." he said smiling, "It's just you've never said I was right before."

She smirked. "It's because you're always such a moron."

"I'm not a moron!" He said now frowning.

"Yes you are ginger ale," she said hugging him, "You're the lovable moron that I'm in love with. And because you're such a moron I'll tell you clearly one more time. I love you Wheatley. I'll always love you."

"Oh..." Wheatley said now hugging her back. He then smiled softly.

"I love you too..."he said. Then, after a moment he whispered, "Madeline..."

The name is now offical! You Luv it? I luv it! anyway so iits done i will post next chapter as soon as i can. so reveiw please and have a wonderful day all of you.
