Yet again, Wheatley was found speechless.

"I-Y-w-h-whe-whaaaa...?" He sputtered out.

"I'll take that as a yes." The pixelated smiley face said, somehow managing to look satisfied.

"B-But, how did you find me?" Wheatley said, mind reeling to try to figure out what the hell was going on.

"You took a pocket terminal, it has a GPS locator. Interesting fact: It also had a few nanobots inside of it, so I told them to replicate and rebuild your... Apartment, after I sent a drone on the 'road' to establish a connection." The smiley face, or GLaDOS, said, sounding very smug.

Wheatley said nothing as he left his apartment, still looking shocked.

Later, as Mike and Dan came in, Wheatley wet over to Mike.

"Um, I need you to come with me, not freak out, and not tell everyone you know about this." Wheatley stated bluntly.

"Uhh... Okay?" He said, sounding very confused.

Wheatley said nothing as he dragged his boss up the stairs and into his apartment.

"What do you want to show me?" He asked.

"Look around! Everythings-You know what? I forgot. You can go back downstairs. I'll be there in a minute." Wheatley suddenly changed what he was saying, noticing that everything was just the way he found it when he first moved in.

"Uh-hu. Sure." Mike said, still very confused.

As soon as Mike left, Wheatley heard a fizzle as everything turned back to what GLaDOS had changed it to.

"Wow. I did not know that would take so much power." GLaDOS said, sounding exhausted while her Smiley Avatar looked fatigued as well.

Wheatley turned around abruptly "What are you doing in my apartment?" He said, pointing his finger at the monitor.

GLaDOS, taken by surprise at his sudden inquisition, answered "I was lonely. And you're my friend. So I came to visit!" She said, sounding very happy and pleased with herself.

"Wh-Ya can't just BARGE IN to someone's home and change everything! It's bloody rude!" He said.

"I... I didn't know. I can leave if you want..." She said, suddenly sounding very sad and shameful.

Wheatley suddenly became very guilty "Y-You can stay." He said.

"REALLY?! Oh, this is going to be so much fun!" She said, suddenly becoming very happy and energetic.

"Fine. Just don't mess anything up." He said.

At that, he went back downstairs and rang people up at his cash register, shortly after he asked Mike what the little slips of paper with a numerical sequences were.


The next morning, Wheatley woke up and realized that today was a Sunday, which meant that the cafe was closed.

He also realized he was in the mood for ice cream.

After he got out of bed and started his normal routine, he went into the kitchen to make breakfast.

And found that, once again, there was a plate on the counter with two pieces of toast and blueberry jam on top.

The Smiley Avatar Monitor was off.

"GLaDOS?"

The monitor suddenly turned on "Who's 'Gladys'?" GLaDOS asked.

"You. You're GLaDOS." Wheatley said.

"No. I'm... Well, maybe I am GLaDOS. Is that my name?" She asked, with the Smiley Avatar looking at him inquisitively.

"Yes. It's your name. GLaDOS." He said.

"Oh. Can we play a game?" She suddenly asked.

"Um, I guess... What do you have in mind?"

The pixelated smiley face smiled widely as a wall panel opened up and a almost-humanoid-but-not drone thing about 4 and a half feet tall with a monitor/head with the Smiley Avatar displayed on it with treads instead of feet, folded out.

The drone moved back and fourth "See?" She asked.

"Okay..." He said, as the drone disappeared down the hallway and came back with Checkers in its hands.

"Where'd you get that?" He asked.

"It was in your... 'Closet'" GLaDOS said.

He really should clean that closet out, who knows what treasure he might find?

"So... You put the pieces on the 'checkerboard', aaand... Then, you try to jump over the other pieces? Why'd you do that? I wouldn't like it, if, say, someone suddenly jumped over me with no provocation and then took me to their castle. Bloody inconsiderate, doncha' think?"

"Are you going to move your piece?" The drone asked, looking annoyed.

"Fine, fine." He mumbled, moving his black piece.

Just like the last game, this went on for quite some time, Wheatley only stopped playing to eat and use the restroom occasionally, and they finished at about 7 O'clock, the sun was starting to set.

"Well, I'm done. I'm going to the store to get some ice cream."

"Can I come?" GLaDOS asked, with the smiley face turned into a sad face.

Wheatley stopped walking and turned around "Okay, one question: How am I supposed to bring an apartment with me, to a store, and how will I get it in the store, if I do, in fact, manage to bring, an apartment with me? Hmm?" He asked.

"My drone can come!" GLaDOS answered, with the Smiley Avatar smiling again.

"Fine. Let's go." He commanded.

GLaDOS somehow managed to maneuver her drone down the stairs without issue.

Somehow.

Wheatley still wasn't sure exactly how she did it.

There weren't many people on the sidewalk today, only a few noticed the drone, and when they did, they rubbed their eyes and walked faster.

Strange people.

When they got to the grocery store, Wheatley grabbed a basket and they walked/drove to the freezer section to pick out ice cream.

And then they argued.

"I like that brand!" Wheatley told her.

"But THIS brand costs 23.4% less... 'Money'." GLaDOS said to him.

"I don't CARE how much less it is, I don't like that brand!"

"Fine. I'LL buy this brand, and YOU can buy that brand."

They were attracting a pretty big crowd. One brave boy even came up to GLaDOS and touched her drone.

"Get your hand off me! Do I look like a toy? Well... Maybe, but I'M NOT A TOY!" GLaDOS yelled.

"What are you?" The frightened little boy asked.

"I am... Something you are not. We'll be leaving now." GLaDOS said, grabbing Wheatley's hand and pulling him towards the checkout lanes.

"Hey! I was looking at tha..." He suddenly noticed the 13 people crowded around them.

"Uhh... Hi?"

"Let's GO!" GLaDOS said, her Smiley Avatar showing an angry yellow face.

"Okay!" Wheatley said, both going over to the Self Checkout.

Their walk home was uneventful, there still weren't that many people walking.

When they got back to Wheatley's apartment, Wheatley put his two containers of ice cream into his tiny fridge, and the proceeded to plop onto his bed and practically fell asleep as soon as he touched the covers, after he put his blue pajamas on.

GLaDOS had decided that she never wanted to go the 'store' again.


A./N.

I imagine GLaDOS's almost-humanoid-but-not drone to look like the First Person Shooter from Wreck-It-Ralph, just with the Aperture Science logo plastered every three inches.

BEFORE YOU ASK: NO. GLaDOS will not be 'transferred' into a new body. She will only use her drone and remotely control Wheatley's Apartment.

Androidization without cause is a mortal sin. Everyone should know this. Please, people: STOP DOING IT!
