When Kate and Shade opened their eyes, they knew that GLaDOS had already changed their appearance. "You look cute." Kate said as she looked at Shade. Shade looked down and the little girl body GLaDOS had temporarily put him in. He had on a frilly pink dress, his hair was longer and tied into pony tails, pink bows were on his wrists and ankles, and he had a head band with a pink bow. "She really likes messing with us." Shade said, his voice coming out as a little girl's voice. "Hey we both want to get our sister back, just be glad she didn't go too overboard." Kate said. "You're wearing the same thing as me." Shade said. "I should have expected that." Kate said. "So what should we go by while we're here?" Shade asked. "Umm, I'll go by my real name, Katelyn." Kate said. "I'm assuming that Chell doesn't know that that is your real name." Shade said. "She doesn't." Kate said. "I think Amy will work for now." Shade said. "Okay, we should go find her." Kate said. "Yeah." Shade said as the two started walking off. "Why are you so calm about what has happened to you?" Kate asked. "If you went through some of the experiments I have then you would understand." Shade said. "I doubt that any of those experiments involved becoming a little girl." Kate said. "No, but one did include my gender being changed for a few hours, and another involved me becoming a kid again for a few hours." Shade said. "Wow. How old do you think we look?" Kate asked, GLaDOS was the one to answer through their now hidden headsets. "About five or six." GLaDOS said. "Oh good, I thought you would just leave us here with no way out and no one else to talk to." Shade said. "I thought about it, but then I realized that Chell and you two could be very useful in getting that moron back down here so that I can have my revenge." GLaDOS said. "Keep in mind that once I'm out, I'm personally programming your human body to be your true body, you wont escape it." Shade said. "Yes I know. We had a deal, and I've yet to disobey a deal with you." GLaDOS said.
It only took Shade and Kate an hour to get to the city that Chell was at. "How are we going to convince her that she is in a virtual reality?" Kate asked. "We'll figure that out when we learn where she is." Shade said as the two entered a small alleyway. "Hey you two." a menacing voice said from behind them. Kate and Shade turned around to see a thug behind them. "You're on my territory little girls." the thug said. "How good are you at hand-to-hand combat and other fighting styles?" Shade asked Kate in a whisper. "Only good enough to survive fourteen or so androids while still in the body of a little girl, I had to fight them off while me and Chell were walking around the facility." Kate whispered. Shade smiled brightly and looked up at the thug. "Come and get us." Shade said as two more thugs came into view. "Get em." the thug said. Shade waited until one of the thugs got to him then jumped. Shade landed first on the thug's back, then on a wall where he jumped off and kicked the thug hard. "I don't like big meanies trying to hurt me." Shade said, acting like a little girl to mess with the thug's minds. "I'll kill you." the thug that Shade had kicked said as he charged at Shade. Kate suddenly kicked the charging thug so hard that his neck snapped. "Mommy isn't going to like us getting blood on our new dresses Amy." Kate said, her and Shade were loving this. "Then we should go Katelyn." Shade said as one of the thugs attacked again. A portal suddenly opened up under the thug and he fell through as Chell, in all black, landed in front of Kate and Shade. "Now then, you want to leave these two alone?" Chell asked the thug, who nodded and ran off.
Chell turned around and leaned down to be eye level with Kate and Shade. "You two okay?" Chell asked. "Yeah, but we could handle them." Shade said. "I saw. You two are quit a unique pair." Chell said. "Yeah, mom and dad say that alot, can we go now?" Kate asked. "I'll take you two to my house so that you can rest, then I'll try to find your parents." Chell said as she picked up Shade and Kate, both feeling embarrassed by it. Chell's house was a large mansion in the center of the city. "Thanks." Kate and Shade said in unison before yawning. "I should have mentioned that you two have the energy level of little girls as well." GLaDOS said through their headsets, Shade and Kate knew that they were hearing GLaDOS from their real bodies and so no one would hear her in this world. "You two sleep." Chell said. "Could we know more about you first?" Kate asked. "I come from a place that is miles away, this device I'm holding allows me to walk extreme distances with only about two steps, see." Chell said before firing portals on two walls and walking through them. "Why did you save us?" Shade asked. "I'm like this cities protector, I save anyone I need to." Chell said. "That's cool." Kate said. "I'll be right back, I have to go get somethings." Chell said before walking out of the room.
"Okay, so how are we going to convince Chell that this isn't real, without giving ourselves away?" Kate asked. "I think our best bet would be to make the place start falling apart by infecting it with a virus." Shade said. "You will not." GLaDOS protested over their headsets. "I have a copy of a virus in my system, if you go in and get it into the VR programs with the right protocols and missions, then we can convince Chell the truth and you will be able to save the VR room." Shade said. "Fine... uh... how do I do that?" GLaDOS asked. "Wait, you're the most advanced computer in the world and yet you can't access a techno-organic's system and reprogram one simple virus." Shade said in shock. "Never had a chance to learn, now shut up and tell me how before I make you think like a little girl as well." GLaDOS demanded. "I'll have to do that after Chell is asleep." Shade said. "Then I'll be waiting." GLaDOS said sadistically. "You really need a core for making you kinder... hmm." Shade said thoughtfully. "Okay sleepy time." GLaDOS said before making Kate and Shade fall asleep.
A/N: Well this sounds interesting. Wow, GLaDOS doesn't know how to access Shade's system or how to program a virus.
