Chell walked around the white room. She said nothing, no emotion shown on her face. Quite obvious she was bored of walking. "Okay, Chell, do you remember everything?" GLaDOS's voice seemed desperate for the answer yes.

"Yes," she said. "I remember you, GLaDOS. I remember Aperture and Bobby, I remember almost everything..." GLaDOS was confused.

"What do you mean 'almost everything'?"

Chell toke a moment before she answered. "I feel like there's... something I'm forgetting... About some core, something important. I do remember, though, that I didn't want to remember it when I did. I remember that I hated that memory. That I just wanted it gone from my brain..." Chell paused. "I have a strange feeling that... That what I'm forgetting is about a core... Named... I'm not sure, something with a W at the begging, I'm sure..."

"Wheatley," GLaDOS wanted to say. "His name is Wheatley. He's a personality core that tried to escape, but never really did. He woke me up. He woke you up from your sleep. He had a British accent. He was very important. But we sent him to space... with the other cores. You almost went with them, but I saved you. You wanted to save him, but I couldn't let you."

But GLaDOS quickly stopped herself. Chell had said that she hated that memory. That her former self didn't want anything to do with that memory. She wanted to forget it.

So GLaDOS allowed her to.

It was a painful memory.

"It's okay," GLaDOS said instead. "It's not that important." Chell smiled and nodded. GLaDOS sighed. Oh thank Johnson, she didn't ask me.

"What's next?" Chell asked. GLaDOS thought.

"We can test."

Chell thought. "I've always tested. I need something else to do." GLaDOS thought again. "Anything will do, I just don't want to... test." Chell sighed. "Making cake would be good."

GLaDOS chuckled. "Okay," she said. She took Chell to a room. It looked like an actual kitchen. Chell smiled.

"Finally, the cake you promised."

Authors Note

Yeah, I know, short chapter. But I lost my chain of thought in the middle. It left the station. So, I'll be back when my inspiration comes back.
