Authors Note: I don't own Portal or Portal 2. This is going off the idea in which all the characters were once in Aperture. Each question will be answered by a humanized core, or a robot, meaning a Turret… Initiating reading in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

It's Like 20 Questions, But it's Not

"Welcome to the underground. Because of the popular vote, we are asking more interesting questions. Our fan base of, get this, 1 and ½ will get to submit a question. Being as one of the submissions was only half written, our question is: What was the craziest dare you have completed?"

The core paused as a small red-headed girl walked in. "Hello!"

"Today, the question will be answered by Clarissa Collins." Interview Core introduced.

The camera panned out to show a pale young woman, with orange eyes that practically glowed. She beamed madly, bouncing slightly in her seat. "Hi Mr. Core, this place is very interesting. How are you? Do you have a name? Are you a boy, or a girl? Wait, can cores even have a gender? Oh, when were you manufactured? Is it near here? Matter of fact, where are we? This place doesn't look familia-"

"Umm, please no questions. That's what I'm here for. So, back to my question, what is the craziest dare you have ever done?" The Interview Core interrupted.

"Oh that's easy. So, when I was about 12, I was at Emma's house with Christy and Tanner, those three were my friends. So Christy dared me to scare Emma and Tanner. The next day, Tanner and Emma wanted to explore the woods near her house, Christy was against it, but she went anyways. Emma and Tanner wanted to explore farther, but Christy and I stayed behind. On our way back to our bikes, we saw a soda can, and Emma's brother's bat on the ground." Clarissa paused to catch her breath.

"So then, Christy threw the can up and I hit it with the bat. As it hit, it made a large ping. I threw the bat back towards where it was while the can fell to the middle of the field, and raced to the bikes. Me and Christy pretended that we were scared, as Emma and Tanner came back screaming. They kept yelling: Did you here that? Christy said that we heard a loud crash, and a can flew into the clearing. They actually believed it! Can you believe that? They started panicking and saying the 'Tin Can Killer' was gonna get us. Well, by than Christy and I were cracking up, and I told them it was a joke. Emma got mad and whacked a tree with a rake. It was hilarious." She wheezed, clearly still laughing from the incident.

"That was actually semi interesting. See, this is what we need: people excited over nothing!" The Core said excitedly.

"Ohh, who are you talking to? Is there someone else here? Oh lemme guess, it's a nano-bot. It is, isn't it?" She asked rapidly.

"Ok, time for you to leave." Clarissa continued to ask quick-fire questions. "Huh, I need someone to escort these loons outta here. Maybe I'll get someone to rewire a claw…" He said aloud.

A/N So, I'm going to keep some chapters mostly the same, just because I like this one. I changed some things, so it's not completely the same. Add to favorites, and you get your own ASHPD* and a cake!

*Note* The Aperture Science Hand-held Portal Device is virtual. But the cake isn't!
