I wandered around the vacant space in front of me. I was a worker at Aperture along with my friend Doug. Why such an amazing artist would work in a facility like this? No clue. Why I was wandering around instead of going to my office? Well...

There was a massive explosion. It shook the whole building, causing the ceiling to fall in certain areas, making the floor collapse, windows break, you get the idea. Doug was on floor 7 while I was on the first floor. I was lucky I survived the explosion. 

"Doug!" I called out. He wasn't there. I looked towards the broken elevator, sighing, then heading towards the stairs.  

After my long trip up to level 7, I heard whimpering and crying coming from under a broken desk. 

"Doug?" I crouched to the crying man, seeing Doug shuddering with fear. I frowned.

"W-..What happened...W-Where's the Companion Cube?!" He started searching around frantically for the lovely cube.

"She's okay, she's right over there." I pointed to the Companion Cube laying on her side.

"Whew...n-now...what about the others? Are they okay..?" I looked down.

"Y/n..?"

"No...they...they're all dead." Doug looked at me with tears in his eyes.

"I guess it's just the three of us now." I sighed and held out my hand. He took it and picked up the Companion Cube, bringing it close to his chest.

"I thought you were dead, love..." He whispered. 

I blushed and looked away.

"Come on, let's get out of here...Before the place collapses." Doug intertwined our fingers, and I didn't really think much of it.

"I think the exit is, well, gone..." Doug said softly. I walked closer to him, then the power shut off.

"Darn it, there goes my phone call to the police department... and our only way out." I muttered. Doug sighed but then smiled hopefully.

"I know this place, there is one way out, and that's the way bottom. There is a machine called 'GLaDOS' that we need to defeat in order to get out." I looked at him.

"Well, let's go.."

After going down plenty of flights of stairs, reaching only half way down, I felt my legs grow stiff.

"Are you okay?" I fell forward, only to be caught cliche-like by Doug.

"U-um...Yes....Sorry, I'm not used to running this much..." Doug smiled and me and picked me up.

"Wha-"

"Then I'll carry you." I blushed a bit, and found myself curling up to his chest.

He started to run down, me held tightly in his arms.

When we reached the bottom, he saw GLaDOS staring quite deadly at us. She actually, was dead.

"Who unplugged her?" I asked.

"Chell..she must have been here... That explains the explosions." I clung close to him, feeling him hold me closer.

"Well...Chell is probably out of the lab now...what do we do?"

"We get out."
