Hylo! I'm not dead. My computer is. So I'm typing this on Doc. Manager, from Portal ToD, Ch. 4, on my mom's computer. Like you guys care. XD
To [anonymous] space core: Wow. You've been popping popcorn for a LONG time... can I have some? XD
Sooo... ON WITH THE SHOW- er, FANFICTION! 8D

Raiados bolted down the halls at approximately 170 mph, screeching to a halt in front of the office where the two turrets were still playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
"Hey guys! Hey guys! Guess what?" She yelled excitedly. Ora and Terra turned around, begrudgingly pausing their match, to almost fall over when they saw the little blue-optic core. Actually, Terra did fall over.
"Whoa! Is that you? I haven't seen you in- actually, I never did see you... broken optic. Um." Raiados righted him, then set Wheatley on the desk.
She patted him on top of the core. "Heya, Wheatley."

Wheatley was INCREDIBLY confused by this turn of events, moreso by the girl. Chell's daughter? He mused. Chell had a child? And she's this old by now? How long have I been floating in space? He decided to voice his concerns.
"Um, well, I'm not sure how to say this..." He started to say awkwardly. Raiados seemed to pick up on what he was going to try to say. Or maybe she just heard his earlier comment.
"Yes, I'm Chell's kid." She said. "Do you need me to prove it? 'Cause I can prove it."
"Oh, no!" Wheatley said quickly. "I believe you! It's just... I never knew how long I was in space..." He trailed off, but picked up again quickly. "Er- Is your mother around? Because I have something I wanted to say to her." Something I've apparently been rehearsing for 10 years... He added silently.
Raiados shook her head. "Nope. I'm with GLaDOS all summer!" She said cheerfully, obviously happy about this fact. Wheatley was stunned by this.
"She-She left you here? Chell left you here? With Her? Willingly? All summer? And She hasn't killed you yet? Or put you in testing?" He stammered, clearly amazed.
Raiados grinned at his surprise. "What? It isn't plausible? She likes me, Wheat."
Wheatley was silent for once in his life.

Of course, the silence couldn't last long.
"SSSPPPAAACCCEEE!" A joyous yell echoed down the corridors, startling both girl and core.
"What...? OH!" Wheatley snapped out of his daze. "Oh yeah, Space was pulled with me too!" He said, nodding. "But I have no idea where he is..."
Raiados eagerly jumped up. "Then let's go find him!" She raced out of the room, calling behind her "I've gotta go get something!..."
Wheatley just stared after her. Terra boosted over to him.
"She's been looking for something to do all day." He offered by way of explanation. Wheatley glanced at the black turret, then nodded again.
"Ah."

Raiados ran back into the room, carrying a backpack with an Aperture logo printed on it. Terra, Wheatley, and Ora were playing cards... somehow.
"Got any 3's?" Wheatley asked.
"Go fish." Answered Ora.
After viewing this odd spectacle for about three seconds, she yelled "C'mon! Let's go!", then grabbed Wheatley and ran out the door, as she had been doing a lot lately.
Terra looked at Ora. "Should we follow?"
Ora glanced up from her hand. "Sure. I was gonna lose anyway." She shrugged and tossed away the cards, boosting alongside Terra, trying to catch up to the energetic Raiados.
Terra looked at her strangely. "How did you know?"
"It was in the script." She answered matter-of-factly. Terra just stared.
"The what?"
Ora stopped for a picosecond, then resumed moving. "Um... nothing." She sighed.

Holy good god, what did I just write? :P
It's short. It sucks. It has no general layout. Ora broke the fourth wall [but patched it up]. I left you with mysterious dialouge hinting at more characters from an unknown speaker.
In short... SHOOT ME NOW BEFORE I SPREAD THE DISEASEEEEEE
Ohhh lord. At least the next update should come faster. Note I said, 'should'.
So yes. Shoot me. Please.
