Get Over Aperture

Ch. 14 To Chell!

Wheatley's POV

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

It grabbed me by the collar of my closed jacket. I started to choke. I couldn't see straight anymore, everything was blurry. I knew any minute it would force me into the machine to turn me human.

Everything started to fade.

...

...

"Can't... give... up... now!" I choked out.

I unbuttoned my jacket and fell hard on my feet. They hurt a bit but that didn't matter.

I looked back at GLaDOS. "Hah! In your face!" I screamed. I didn't mean to say that. It just came out.

When I REALLY looked at her, she looked so furious. She had a face that clearly said, "I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!"

It was threatening, but somehow amusing. I giggled a little as I ran for the door.

"Wh-where's the button for the door?" she asked herself, panicked.

The door was already closed, but since she couldn't control it, it would act automatically and open when I get near.

I looked back before continuing out of the room. GLaDOS ran after me. She was wearing heels and probably didn't realize that until she tripped.

I thought of helping her, but I have to get Chell first. I started to go back to the mission until...

I heard her cry.

I stopped moving.

She was crying? I looked back again.

She was really crying. Hard. With tears running down her cheeks, then her neck. Soon, her tears wet her clothes.

This is her first time as a human. She's never experienced pain before. Ever.

I might have, maybe once or twice, but that was because they programmed me to have more human-like emotions and physical reactions than she did.

This is her first time being in pain, not emotional pain; physical pain... and because of that, she's still very sensitive so she cried easily.

I sighed loudly- loud enough for her to hear from there.

I ran back to her. I helped her up but she wouldn't stand by herself. I didn't know what to do. Then I remembered Chell carrying me.

I got GLaDOS and slung her on my back. I felt very manly carrying a girl on my back.

"To Chell!" I shouted very energetically. "Idiot. One problem; do you even know where she is in the first place?" she said.

I stopped.

"You were the one who took her. Do you remember where you put her?" I asked.

"Of course I do!"

"Do you know the directions from here to wherever that place is?"

"Of course!" she replied.

"Then there's no problem!" I said. "To Chell!"
