paradisa | 1/012: We are frienemies. [Dated back to a day before Larry's date kk]

[Wheatley and GLaDOS would be in the kitchen, conversing casually on the first day of their one week truce. That's right everyone, these two psychopaths are actually on a truce. ~~Meaning that they are not going to kill each other or endanger any of the residents of Paradisa.~~

Wheatley and GlaDOS would be digging through one of the cabinets, looking for a pan... this place really needed to be labeled out. This truce wasn't even a forced one. Spirits would be content, and would even hold an air of amusement.]

"Hmmm... let's see- let's see. Gonna need a pan. Those are important, and... and some eggs. You need eggs to make eggs... oh and some of that... that yellow stuff."

"Of course you need eggs to make eggs, moron."

"Not a moron."

[She would bite back "moron"; that word came too easily. After searching through the cabinets, GLaDOS would eventually find some butter in the fridge, taking it out and offering it to Wheatley.]

"H-how about those little round cakes? Those can't be that difficult to make..."

[Shocked friends of GLaDOS and Wheatley, feel free to barge in on this and ask what the heck is going on!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

"T-tell me about it. Ending was mediocre. Didn't make sense."

[At this point that obnoxious guy who told them to get a room is staring at them terrified. Probably from all of the "humans" talk... as if they weren't one... oh god.

He'll lead GLaDOS out the room this time. At least she didn't hate it. Today was a pretty successful day...]

"Well this was fun! Undoubtedly. Can't wait to do it again. But! In the meaaantime, I should probably t-take you back to the castle. Big day n' all."

[He keeps saying that. They were probably out for 6 hours though. An exhausting day, undoubtedly. LARRY YOU CANNOT COMPARE KK.]

"Though, when you do have free time... I'll uh... I'll plan something. Definitely. S-something different obviously. Not the same thing."

[ GLaDOS felt a little conflicted still, but she tried to push those feelings to the back of her mind, letting Wheatley lead her out.

Being reminded of her day with Larry made her sigh again, though. She just hoped the man was bearable. Nothing was worse than this moron. Right...?

Then again, he was being surprisingly tolerable, still. So... ]

You do realize that I'm not interested in those kinds of things, right. [ she said flatly.

But the thought of going out again like this was nice. ] Of course.

I'll be free after tomorrow. And for the rest of the week.

[ She's totally not cuddling back into your side as soon as they head outside, nope. ]

"You never know love! I honestly don't think that he's trying to court you."

[Pffft. How wrong can one guy be?

When they got outside, it was already starting to get darker. They had spent most of the day sleeping, that the entire day was practically gone already. Yes, a night walk to the castle seemed strangely fitting.]

"Really now? What makes you so sure that he won't... won't sweep you off your feet and you'll forget all about me, love? I'll be standing in the rain with some soggy cake in my hand that I made all for you."

[He nudges her, teasing her. Imagine that pitiful scene...
imaaagiiiinneee itttt.]

[ GLaDOS rolled her eyes. Of course he was. That letter explained it well enough.

The night walk was kind of nice, actually. She wasn't deterred by things other humans might describe it as, like "somber".

.... but the description makes her snort, unable to help laughing. It was all so ridiculous. It sounded like some sort of dramatic human romance story, and really, imagining him with such a comical depressed expression just makes it worse. She tries to calm herself, with no avail, for a few more moments until she finally succeeds. ]

How am I so sure?

I doubt anyone could be as hilariously moronic as you. [ She gives him a small nudge in return, her smile actually quite wide. ] It makes you an entertaining friend.

"I'm not a--"

[But when he sees her expression... her smiling that wide, he can't help but smile back... forgetting what he was going to say completely.]

"Hehe... well. I had no idea you felt that way about me. That's my... my sarcasm right there love...."

[He'd laugh right along with her.]

"You'd call this day a success then? Despite everything."

I'm pretty sure it's a success. [ she would answer, still pretty cheered up by that silly image that had popped into her head. She had been completely distracted, and she was still considerably happy.

So before they got to the castle and they were in a lot of company, she would stop to wrap her arms around him, giving him a hug. She still had her reservations about looking so weak in front of the castle residents. ]

"Well great! That's g-great fantastic... glad you enjoyed it --Oh...! Wow, I...uh"

[How unexpected. Did not see that coming. When she hugs him, he stays static for a moment... and is quick to assess the situation to see if this is actually happening...

and then... hugs her back.]

"Th-thanky you...? Th-thankyou."

[ She would give a little squeeze in the hug before letting go and starting to walk again. Make sure to come along now, Wheatley! She seemed genuinely happy, her earlier doubts pretty much erased by his hilarious comment. There was still a nigging doubt in the back of her mind, though, that could never quite go. What was she doing?

Well, she could always hide behind the excuse that she needed to make it up to Wheatley for coming up with decent ideas for the day. ] It's nothing. I should be thanking you. For remembering the cake. [ She found it so nice of him to do that after she mentioned wanting to try it.

Friends were nice. GLaDOS could understand why humans need them. They gave them some sense of direction in their stupid, useless food-consuming lives. ]

[Wheatley would still be standing there when she let go of him, at a complete loss. He wasn't sure if what happened really just happened. He stood there for about a half second, still assessing the situation, when he realized that she was walking...

He'd walk after her.]

"Oh that? That was nothing! Well, actually it was something... a whole ton of money was what it was... but a thankyou is always welcomed. Because you're welcome. Didn't think this truce would be so great. And on the first day. 'magine that, love. "

[ She didn't think so either. Really, either they were just really good at being friends or human emotions were more predominant than she thought. Hm, both were a little troubling to her, although the second one more so. She doesn't get the whole idea of money either, but she figures that it must mean something to humans if it got them delicacies like cake and movies. ]

It's working out quite well. I guess we're good at being friends, like we are at being enemies. Who would've knew? Definitely not me, if we hadn't started keeping close in our sleep. [ As it turned out, Wheatley had started with that one. And it just might have become his savior for the coming week!

They would eventually reach the castle, and GLaDOS realized that she had been so distracted she hadn't thought about the birds this entire time.

Needless to say, she was pleasantly surprised that he could distract her from their looming presence. ]

[He trailed after her. He wasn't sure when he should've left... so when they enter the castle, he stops for a moment, rubs the back of his neck and smiles.]

"So... uh, I guess this is it! Great day, greaat day. Uh, I'll see you later then. 'nless the castle takes either of us, hopefully not but... but aside from that..."

[He points to her with both his hands, backing away.]

"Day after. Day after t-tommorrow...yes. Ri-right."

[ She would stop when he did, unable to help her amusement at his silly gestures. ]

See you then.

[ And off she would go, towards her room.

Well, that was an interesting day.

To put it lightly. ]
