Alternative GLaDOS test 17
"It doesn't say what the prize is for. Well I know it wasn't for being immune to neurotoxin." Chell always hated it when GLaDOS mentioned all the scientists she killed. She wouldn't let it go, it was her life's purpose, her greatest achievement. Chell sighed as she started the test.
'Portal by the light bridge, portal here, walk through, reposition portal, pick up cube, stop the laser with the cube, walk over to the elevator and-' She was stirred from her thoughts by an opening in the wall. Any other time she had seen a place like that had contained cans of beans and jugs of water.
She hopped back on the light bridge by moving her portal then she moved it so she could access the hole. As she walked through it she could hear someone mumbling. It was creepy much like the murals drawn on the walls. Chell's mind flashed back to when she got the portal gun, a large picture of her had been beside it.
The hallway was lined with coffee cups. Her heart swelled when she saw the cup that said: #1 Dad. How many years had it been since she saw her dad? She almost started crying when she realized no one was in the room. That was when she noticed a shadow besides the fan. She immediately portaled down below and saw the figure.
It came from one of the scientist holding a companion cube scribbling madly on the wall. He stared at her. "Hi, I'm D-Doug." He eventually said. Chell hugged him. His voice was real not artificial like everything else she had heard since Bring Your Daughter to Work Day.
"O-okay." Doug said. He hugged her back. Tears dripped from Chell's eyes rapidly.
"Where are you?" GLaDOS asked. Chell stopped hugging him and looked for an exit. He showed her a door that was surrounded by plants.
"If we could cut this down we might be able to escape." He said. Chell was already trying to rip it apart. They were almost finished when they heard a hissing noise. The green gas was pouring in. Doug began cursing nonstop.
"Why is it that you always make a new friend on test 17? Next time, if there is a next time, I'll just skip it." GLaDOS said. Doug started screaming at her. They suddenly broke through. Doug picked up the cube and ran towards a large panel. Tons of switches were on it. He turned a few of them on, shut some off, and hit one button that stopped the neurotoxin.
An escape elevator came down Doug hopped inside. Chell ran to it too. As she started to step inside she heard a noise behind her. She turned around and saw the blue optic of her other friend. Wheatley disconnected himself and she picked him up and ran into the elevator.
Chell ran out of the elevator with Wheatley in her arms. Doug followed behind her. He hugged his cube. All four of them set out for their new life.
This is an early apology. Over the weekend I won't be able to post and starting next week, school so I won't be able to write as often.
