Get Over Aperture
Ch. 16 Everyone's Here
Wheatley's POV
"Then, you turn left."
"Okay."
Okay, we're getting along a bit. At least we're not trying to kill each other.
"And then you-"
"HEY! HEY YOU!" She was cut off by the voice of someone.
I looked back and saw Jake, one of Chell's friends.
"Oh, you found my letter and the Portal Guns." I assumed.
"Yeah, we did."
"Hey, what's with that weird cube there?" the other one asked. I think his name was Ren.
"Y-you left the companion cube alone? Companionless?" GLaDOS sounded panicked. What is it with her and those Companion Cubes?
"Never mind that, we're looking for Chell." I said.
"That accent... are you Wheatley?" Ren asked.
"Umm, yes."
"And that's GLaDOS?" he pointed to her. "Yes."
He turned to Jake. "I thought she was a robot woman. She's so pretty!"
I looked at GLaDOS who was blushing. Aww...
"SO she's actually human?" he asked. "No. You see, we have this machine that turns people into robots and the other way around... you heard this when I told Chell I chloroformed GLaDOS."
"Oh yeah..."
"Wait, that was YOU who chloroformed me?"
"Uh..." She started to struggle until she got off me. "From here on, I am going my own way."
She started to walk away, then tripped.
We all gasped. I thought she was going to cry hard again. But she was just there, flat on the floor.
She started moving her arms. We all sighed in relief. She lifted her face from the floor and looked at me, blushing, but she still had that face like she was mad.
It was sort of cute...
She got up quickly, carefully took a step, then another one. She smirked and faced me, smiling widely. "I think I got this!" she took another step and tripped again.
We all gasped again. She sat up and started dusting some dust of herself.
"GAAAAAAHH! Curse these works of human kind! Why is there even a heel on this thing? How does Caroline make this work?"
"Heheh. You're just not used to heels yet." I started walking over to her.
We heard someone else's voice somewhere.
"... Then he said that if I would just put less sugar and more salt, it would be better. I mean, who puts salt in cake? Seriously..."
"Stef! Over here!" Jake said. "Huh? Oh hey!" she looked our way.
"This is Wheatley and that's GLaDOS." Jake said.
"Oh my gosh, what happened to you?" Miku ran over to GLaDOS.
I can't forget her name. She was so loud I heard her from the control room even though I turned off all the sound detectors and cameras.
"I'm fine! Don't touch me!" GLaDOS shouted.
"GLaDOS knows where Chell is." I told everyone.
"Really? How did she know?" Stefani asked.
"Because I was the one who took her away, obviously!" She shouted.
Everyone else gasped. I face-palmed.
Ren crouched and pointed at GLaDOS.
"EVIL!"
I stepped in front of her in case he would attack her. "Hey, hey, she's on our side now."
"And exactly who confirmed THAT?" we all looked at GLaDOS.
Ren crouched and pointed at her again.
"EEEVIIILL!"
"Okay. Pretend she never said that."
I turned to face GLaDOS. "GLaDOS, lead us to Chell!"
She grabbed me by my shirt and made us face-to-face.
"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO."
"Y-yes ma'am!"
After seeing her cry and trip so many times and noticing she's smaller than me as a human, I completely forgot she was the boss of me! She's still so scary!
