Get Over Aperture

Ch. 13 Let's Start

Miku's POV

"New test subjects, hm? Well then, let the testing begin."

What a sickeningly robotic voice. It sounds like a girl, though. And what does she mean by, 'Let the testing begin'?

Oh yeah! Wheatley said something about that in his letter. I hope they're not too hard to overcome, though...

Stefani's POV

Okay. Right now, I'm just walking around with the ASHPD all cool and stuff, yeah. But in my mind, I'm like this:

I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared!

Waaaaaah!

Isn't there an easier way to get Chell back? I mean, why can't we just ask the robot lady nicely, "Hello! Can we have our friend back?" while smiling sincerely?

Oh yeah, we don't know where this robot lady is in the first place...

I sighed. Oh well, if it means getting Chell back, then fine.

Jake's POV

We're about to be tested I am SO nervous! But for some reason, Ren is all cool with it and he's smiling and giggling and once in a while he jumps up and down.

Why is he so happy? Or does he just have that much energy when he's about to go on a physical test?

Don't keep all that energy to yourself, give some to me!

Now that I think about it, when we were classmates, he was like this whenever we have Physical Education. And he's very good at P.E.

As in VERY, VERY good!

Right now, he's smiling and giggling like an idiot.

Ren's POV

I am smiling and giggling like an idiot.

I'm so excited for some reason!

It occurred to me about ten times that we could get killed, but that's what makes it more exciting for me!

Also, it seems like Chell has been to this place already. And she seems so fit! She IS so fit!

This must be good exercise!

Wheatley's POV

Oh no! They're really going to be tested!

Wait.

I'm looking at one of the TVs connected to the cameras and... why is one of them smiling and giggling like an idiot? Hah! See that, GLaDOS? I'm not the ONLY idiot!

...

...

...

I take that back! I am NOT an idiot!

She looked at me and had an evil grin. Did she read my human mind or is she just excited to test?

Well, whichever one it is, it shouldn't matter, I need to stop her.

Oh hey, everything's moving. Wait. I'm the one moving.

I looked towards where I was heading. It's the machine that can turn humans into robots and stuff.

"You've been quite troublesome... but soon, you will no longer be. You won't even be able to walk." I heard GLaDOS say.

She's right. Before she turned me human, I was technically just a talking metal ball with a small personality.

And before I betrayed Chell –I'm still sorry for it-, I needed her to carry me around. I wonder if I was heavy?

Oh no, I'm going into the machine.

Why am I just sitting on this conveyor belt not doing anything? I have to run!

I stood up and started running. Wait, I can just jump off the conveyor belt.

Oh, duh!

I jumped off the conveyor belt and I saw GLaDOS turn around and her eyes widened. Then she tried to act all superior.

Heheh, didn't expect that, did ya?

"I guess I misjudged you. Perhaps you CAN figure simple things out like that." She looked up at the ceiling and got out a remote.

I looked up to see what it was. I saw that it was the same crane thing she used to grab me and put me in this cage. The cage had no roof but the bars were too high for me to get out.

My only chance is that crane thing. I can do this...
