1/015: Yellow, Orange and Blue. [Dated to early the 2nd day of Family reunion plot]

[wheatdos]

[Daytime was when GlaDOS and Wheatley finally came around, rowing to shore and crawling off of the boat that they had left themselves to float in through the night. Drowsily, Wheatley would help his spouse up and out, the two of them looking like a proper trainwreck...

And wheatley having some rather apparent and smeared black lipstick dappled all over his face...

[ GLaDOS chuckled a little at her ambition. ]

Of course. No other sandcastle will ever compare. [ she replied, giving the top of CC's head a little peck before they finally got to their cabin, heading inside.

She offered CC up to Wheatley, needing her hands to find the buckets and shovels... ]

[wheatdos]

[Wheatley would take CC in his arms, laughing a little nervously at both of their ambition.... they were just making sandcastles... the normal kinds where you stack buckets together... right?

He had a feeling... that may have not been the case.]

I... How big...e-exactly do you have in mind?

[whatsinheeeere]

The biggest! Bigger than anything in the worrrllldddd!!!

[[She throws her hands up again.]]

Daddy, why are you so tall? Will I be tall too? Mommy, will I be tall like daddy? What are you doing? Are you getting the buckets? Mommy, why are you wearing daddy's labcoat? What's that? Ooooohh...

[She's squirming and trying to crawl on Wheatley's shoulders.]]

[sawadeertoday]

[ She does her best to hold in another chuckle as she digs through her things. ]

... Maybe not as tall... And yes. I'm getting the buckets. And I'm wearing your father's lab coat because I was cold and he gave it to me. [ Nope, not explaining the whole part where they went swimming.

Eventually, she finds the buckets, shovels and things. ]

Here they are.

[wheatdos]

...Ahhh... love! Love... love... stop that!

[He's trying to get CC to settle down.]

D-do you want to ride on my shoulders?

[Wheatley grins and looks at GLaDOS as he grabs CC and crouches a little as if to put her on his shoulders.]

G-great! Shall we go back then, or is there anything else you want?

[Wheatley's eyes catch a reflection, and that's when he sees the smeared lipstick... just as he is putting her on his shoulders, he sets CC down for a moment.]

Uhhhh... just a moment! D-daddy... has... has to go wash his face...! On-one moment... just... a second will be enough.

[He says, turning a light shade of blue.]

[whatsinheeeere]

[[CC is confused when Wheatley sets her down. What was wrong with him? Was he okay? CC skips over to her mother and latches onto her leg.]]

Is daddy okay?

[sawadeertoday]

[ She snorts in amusement, cheeks turning pink. She should really get to brushing her hair as well...... ]

He's fine, don't worry. He's just cleaning up. [ She pats CC's head affectionately with her free hand, not holding the bag of supplies. ] And we need to get you cleaned up, too. You didn't brush your hair this morning, did you?

[ She inquired. ]

[wheatdos]

[He's calling from the bathroom.]

Neither did you love. You must be all grimy from the salt water... maybe you should take a shower... get yourself cleaned up...

[He says that in the most suggestive tone, and casually pokes his head outside...

Oh, wait... CC is there, isn't she. He innocently adds before he gets any glare from GLaDOS.]

Just a thought. Just a thought.

[And then... slowly... just goes back into the bathroom. Naive kids are the best kids.]

[whatsinheeeere]

[[CC shakes her head.]]

Nope! I woke up and I looked for you! And then I found you!

[[She looks at Wheatley when he is speaking, and then eventually looks up at GlaDOS with her little inquiring eyes.]]

...?

[sawadeertoday]

[ GLaDOS just kind of..................... gives him a glare indeed, blushing, before clearing her throat and looking to CC. ]

Maybe you should, too, then. [ she retorted, before herding CC into the bathroom, going to grab her hairbrush. ]

But first, we'll fix you up. [ She said to her daughter, carefully removing her pigtails and wrapping the elastic bands around her arm before starting to brush her hair. ]

[wheatdos]

[Nothing Wheatley does is relevant. He is in the bathroom washing up.]

[whatsinheeeere]

[[CC nods excitedly, though there are times where she tries to turn around to look at her mother, which can make it difficult to brush her hair.]]

Do you like it here?

[sawadeertoday]

[ GLaDOS tries to hold CC in place with one hand, used to her hyperactive tendencies as she continues to brush her hair. ]

It's pretty nice, [ she admitted with a small smile. ] What do you think?

[ She looked up to Wheatley, as well. ]

[whatsinheeeere]

I like it! Can we do this more often? If we do this more often we'll go to lots of places! Can we go to lots of places? How many places are there?

[[The thought made her excited and she begins to clap.]]

[wheatdos]

[He's just leaning on the sink, washing his face.]

You-you know.. that's a great idea. I'd love to do it more often.
The seaa... the sun... the sky, the... family... Wonder why we didn't do it more often. Even having us together alone is just fine.

[sawadeertoday]

[ GLaDOS gathered CC's hair to start making her ponytails again. ]

It would be nice, actually. [ she nodded a little. ] We could try somewhere different next time. Maybe something more tropical, or even the city.

[ She was already brainstorming ideas as she made the first ponytail, very neatly. ] We could make a list of places once we get home.

[whatsinheeeere]

Can we go to an amusement park too? Can we?

[[She's bouncing in place now.]]

[wheatdos]

Why wait? We could easily do it now. Wh-while we're getting ready... dozzn't take much to plan. Brainstorm. Right.

[He shakes his head a little to get the extra water off, and fishes around for a towel.]

An amusement park! Are you talking about one of those resorts, love? Ahahaha... we can go to all the rides too. We'll have to try all our might to get your mother on one of the big ones, though.

[He says, teasing GLaDOS as he wiped his face.]

[sawadeertoday]

[ She rolls her eyes, employing a teasing tone of her own. ] More like your father. He's a big chicken.

[ She finished up CC's ponytails, giving her a little tap on the back to let her know before moving to the sink, wanting to wash her own face and fix up her hair. ]

We would have to pack up a lunch if we went, though. The food there's much too expensive.

[whatsinheeeere]

[[CC laughs as they tease each other. She has the most adorable little laugh.]]

Can we, can we? Do you promise?

[wheatdos]

A chicken?? What?? You're joking love... tell her you're joking--She-she's joking love, don't believe her.

[Though... when CC asks them to promise... he stops for a moment.

And just smiles...]

I promise love.

[He knows that GLaDOS didn't like it when he promised for her, so he looked at her, with a silly smile.]

[sawadeertoday]

[ GLaDOS looks to him, flushing a bit at the silly smile before turning to CC. ]

... I promise we'll go to the amusement park one day. [ she said, before starting to wash her face.

They had plenty of time in the future, after all..... ]

[whatsinheeeere]

[[Whenever the two of them get close enough together, CC suddenly runs at them, hugging the both of them at once. She doesn't speak, but she doesn't need to.

It's a big 'I love you!']]

[wheatdos]

You know what? I think that we should--

[[Wheatley suddenly stops in mid-sentence when CC suddenly hugs them...

Oh CC...

Wheatley would crouch a little to hug her back.]]

[sawadeertoday]

[ GLaDOS is also considerably surprised, returning the gesture, and wrapping an arm around her husband as well. ]

And we'll go on the rides with you, [ she added softly, looking at Wheatley. ] Won't we.

[ Not a question. No matter what ride, he's joining them. ]
