.......... Do Not Own Portal

Luckily Soapi had bought them some time during their meeting outside. He fell asleep in one of the test chambers. The floor was soft and rubbery. The unusual material was made to make the test more difficult since portals didn't work on it like they didn't work on the stainless steel walls. To him it was comfortable. He was worn out. This was way more exercise than what he was used to in his lazy lifestyle. He wasn't sure if he was dreaming or not but he heard the computer say something a little unusual.

"Your friends think they can help you. Fat chance."

He moved a little and mumbled something but didn't wake up. A camera was fixed on him, watching him. GLaDOS was curious to see where this was going. She knew that Moose had broken several rules now. Hacking the camera and turret systems. Trying to access a top secret area. Bringing in someone who didn't work there along with revealing the location of the building. Bringing weapons into the facility. He can easily get fired and maybe even arrested for what he had in mind.

Soapi mumbled a little more and curled up. Hugging the portal device like a teddy bear. GLaDOS decided it was time to mess with him a little and played a recording of the turrets over the speakers.

"Dispensing product."

Soapi jumped up and started shooting everywhere when he noticed there weren't any turrets around. He was too groggy to notice that it was coming from the computer. He just guessed it was a dream and sat back down against the wall. A few minutes later something got his attention. A scraping sound from behind the corner. As soon as he looked in that direction it stopped. Again he dismissed it and looked away but the sound started again. This time it was louder. Something was coming towards him.

A little freaked out, he got up and went back to trying to get to the elevator. Once he solved the puzzle he was walking towards the sliding metal doors when that sound was right behind him. He turned around and saw a cube. It looked like the others except for a heart on the sides instead of the Aperture logo. He laughed 'cause he was relieved it wasn't anything that could actually kill him.

"This is a joke, right? Is someone hiding in there or something?"

He quickly stopped laughing when the cube turned black and red and the heart changed into a broken one. A small hatch opened and the cube buzzed as a knife was magnetically pulled from the opening. It looked like it was being held by an invisible hand. The hatch closed and a deep electronic voice emanated from the companion cube.....

"You are going to die."

All the color drained from Soapi's face. His jumpsuit felt warm and wet where his bladder had failed from the extreme terror. The cube jumped at him and missed with the knife but managed to crack him in the head. He was on his back and the cube hopped up and settled on his chest, stabbing at him. He squirmed out of the way of the knife enough times to get away but wasn't too successful at getting away unharmed. His face and forehead were cut and a deep stab wound in his arm. He ran for the elevator and noticed there was no disintegration field. The cube was fast, jumping at his legs and stabbed him in the calf. He fell forwards into the elevator and the doors closed fast enough so he wasn't trapped with that psycho cube.

I didn't feel like he was moving up or down. He couldn't tell anymore and with his injuries the tests were going to be even harder to do now. After the doors opened he crawled out. Still exausted. In front of him was a very simple puzzle and near where the set up was he found one of those moving platforms. It wasn't moving yet, he guessed that solving the test would get it to move. The platform's beam went around a corner and down a narrow area with several obsticles. At the end he could see the beam went around another corner and into a room that was giving off an orange glow. There was also a lot of hot air coming from that direction.

Looking up at the backlit sign he saw he was on the last test. But he needed a break. He sat back down. His leg and arm were hurting really bad and it made his eyes water whenever he tried to walk or use the portal gun. It was nice to know it was almost over but judging from what's happened so far he should know that the ending was a trap. But Soapi's not very smart and kinda too trusting.

Somewhere Else :D

Fidget had already taken out most of the security and gotten the doors to the lower areas open. Moose was running along side her with a little video thing she gave him to keep track of where Soapi was. The testing area was massive and depending on where he was they had to go in whatever direction got them there the fastest. Moose stopped when he saw Soapi near the end of the test and getting mauled by a companion cube. It was shocking for several reasons. One was that it looked like Soapi was pretty much done for now. Also he had no idea the companion cubes could even move, much less attack.

Fidget stopped and looked at the small screen. She made a noise but not much else. Moose knew this was harder on her than it was for him. A small tear leaked from behind her goggles but she wiped it off before Moose could really notice. Although he did a little bit but she hid it before he could look directly at her. She tried to put up a tough front but for the first time Moose saw she was actually kinda emotional.

"He's in the last chamber. We need to get to the maintenance area. So we need to go.... right up here."

She didn't say anything. Just kept running. Moose was behind a little now but couldn't help but laugh to himself because he noticed she does care about her boyfriend. As stupid as he is sometimes. They kept going, and they were running out of time. Fidget managed to climb around some of the heavy machinery and switch it off for Moose to get through. The both busted through a door into a huge room.

They were on a platform/balcony type thing. Moose walked up to the railing and looked down. It was the trash incenerator. A beam with a moving platform was heading right into the fire. Soapi was on the platform, standing a little funny.

"Soapi!"

He looked up and smiled. "What took you guys so long?"

Fidget pushed Moose out of the way and tossed a cable down to Soapi. He grabbed it and Moose helped her pull him up. After that Fidget hugged Soapi and kissed him on the cheek.

"What's that?" She grabbed the portal gun. Moose smiled. He knew about the portal project but didn't know it was being tested like this.

"It shoots portals. Try it out."

Soapi was sitting against the wall when she shot one on the wall next to him and one behind him when he wasn't looking. It made him fall backwards through it and she was laughing. "This will make our escape so much easier!"

"You're not leaving here alive, you know." The computer interupted their happy reunion. Moose seemed the most upset about the fact that they were caught.

"Shit, it's GLaDOS!"

"GLaDOS?" Soapi asked. Moose nodded. Soapi didn't know the computer had a name up until now.

Fidget laughed, a little more nervous now. "I'm guessing now's a bad time to mention our magnetic stealth packets don't work in high temperatures?"

Moose looked more serious than the two have ever seen him for as long as they've known him. "We need to get out of here. Now."

A/N: If you didn't get the companion cube thing. I got the idea from this /watch?v=UAVaeb70z_0
Again. I no own.
