Get Over Aperture

Ch. 6 Let's Do Something About This

Stefani's POV

I'm so excited! And SOOO Curious!

What is Chell's problem anyway? I mean, what could possibly be in this shed?

*gasp* What if there's something valuable inside?

GRRRRR! I'm just so excited to see!

Hmm, now that I think about it, it's a pretty small shed, isn't it? Like only one to two people can fit in there.

Maybe there isn't something so valuable in there... whoops! I almost lost interest just now! Hahahahahaha!

Okay, let's be serious, Chell was really protective of it. What's her problem? Really!

I mean, it's not like there's some kind of bear in there! Or a weapon that could destroy the world! Ooh! Or some kind of evil robot that kills people for its amusement! Hahahahahaha!

Jake's POV

I see absolutely no reason why we should do this. Really. I'd rather go home and eat ice-cream.

I stepped tapped Stefani on the shoulder and gave her my best I'd-Rather-Go-Home-and-Eat-Ice-cream Look.

She, on the other hand, gave me the 'That's-What-You-Always-Say' Look.

All of us have this way of reading each other's faces somehow.

I stepped back. I noticed Chell giving me the 'I-Agree-With-You Look.' I really like it that she always agrees with me. Most of the time, no-one does.

I responded by giving her the 'Let's-Do-Something-About-This' Look. She nodded.

I looked behind me and gave Miku and Ren the same look. Ren agreed. Mikuni gave me the 'There's-No-Point' Look.

I shrugged and did the 'Okay-We'll-Go-Without-You' Look. We really have a lot of looks we use.

"Hey, you guys are really quiet back there, are you guys signing each other?" Stefani said without looking at us.

"Huh? Oh, no. Of course not."

"Hey Stefani, umm, I was just thinking, we don't really have to go in there just to find out what's in there. Like, can't we just look through the window?" Chell started the plan.

"Uh, she's right. Or, we could just ask the owner of the shed or something." Ren continued.

I saw Chell give him the sarcastic 'Nice, Genius' Look. He gave her the 'What?' Look.

"Fine, Ren. Go get the owner." Stefani demanded.

"Huh? Uh, okay. I'll, uh, go and... ask... him..." he said while spacing away towards the back of the shed slowly.

"Uh, hi I'd like to know what's in that shed...?" we heard him say.

"Oh, it's nothing, just some wood and construction stuff. But, don't open the door! There are a lot of them in there, they could fall on you!" he said in a lower voice but we all knew it was him.

"Thanks." He said, he ran back and everyone gave him the Nice Try Look.

I gave him the 'I-am-Mentally-Face-Palming-Myself' and he gave the I'm Sorry Look.

Oh, great.

Just Great.

Chell's POV

I will do anything to stop Stefani from opening that door! No matter what it takes! Unless it takes murder and doing some crime.

...

Hey, I'm new to the society, okay? I've been locked in that underground torture facility for years! I need to have an innocent social life!

"Hey! What are you people doing near my father's shed?" We heard a voice of someone around our age.

My eyes widened, hearing those words.

What?

Somebody owns this shed? No way!

Th-that's impossible!
