A Real Trip

Google Tries to Help

After I realized I was indeed in the Upside Down and most definitely NOT tripping on that msg in the Chinese food I ate last night I began to think rationally and calmly about the situation I was in. But also , to be honest , there was my mouth. " Sweet mother of SHIT! " I cursed to myself while taking deep breaths and soon I was calm enough to talk fluently again with myself.

" This cannot be happening........this is SO not happening to me. Stuck the fricken land of murderous alters (or only one alter) Who I KNOW will kill me on the spot. Just fabulous Sara, just fan diddly tastic! "  When my rant session was over I decided to explore the backwards version of Mark's house and find a way back to my own reality.

If I ever made it back that was.

Woah! Where did THAT come from?! I never think like that...whatever, no dwelling on random depressing thoughts right now. Right now was the time for action! What was it that Jack always said when one of us was sad? Oh yeah!

PMA ! POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE!!!!!

I needed some PMA running through my veins right now and I summoned every last happy thought I could think of. Feeling happy thoughts I was able to come up with my plan of attack. If any of the he alters besides Dark were down here I would ask them for help if they seemed somewhat trustworthy. If they showed any sighs of evil intent or pull some moves on me, Well, i DID have weapons on me afterall. Didn't I ?

Yup. That was my plans as I began a slow walk down the hall that normally led to the bedrooms and the kitchen beyond that. Then I realizrd y breathing felt better down here , and the huge specks of dust that had been in the air when I first arrived were gone now and another thing was I was feeling great. Better than i had in a long time physically. Like somehow the air was healing my asthma and fatigue. Super strange. 

I walked for some time. The hallway was seemingly endless just like the staircase that had brought me here. But soon I caught a glimpse of a lighted doorway towards the back. Clicks and clacks could be heard the closer I got to the door.

Getting more carefully with my footsteps and took out my makeshift pepperspray as quietly as I could.

Standing on the edge of the lit doorway and gathering my thoughts.

What if it was Dark?

What if it WASN'T?

Who would be using a computer and what sounded like a printer whirring in the distance? What if my weapons were not enough and I was actually fucking captured? What then? 

Should I look in there and then decide if I should keep on stepping or not? It wasn't a terrible idea. 

Worth a shot.

I took a deep breath , gripping my can of disinfectant and gradually taking a peek Over the Garden Wall ( If you got that reference please comment you did! )

And to be honest. I nearly peed myself when I noticed who was sitting in an office chair with his back to me on a computer.

Blue shirt.....Marks hair and black glasses....fuck. I knew him all right.

Googleplier. Or Googs by some people.

The killer A.I who was once the property of my buddy Matthias. He sort of freaked me out.  Because I saw that one movie , I Robot , as a kid and it taught me one valuable lesson. Never fully trust robots with your life. Or let them have Admin Privileges while your sleeping with a robot in your house whose secondary primary objective is to fucking destroy all man kind! Just SAY NO KIDDOS!!!

" You know it is rude to lurk in people's doorways yes? " 

His somewhat robotic voice made me jump out of my skin! I had been so busy freaking out to realize the killer robot had turned his swivel office chair around and was now looking at me with a amused expression on his stern like face. He sort of looked like my best friend but didn't at the same time. Like ha was his own person and not just a creation of Marks imagination. I coughed trying desperately to think of something to say to the robot. But it came out as an " UH... Hi. " I mean tally slapped myself for that intelligent response as Google rose an eyebrow. " Hello. I am Google. And you are searching for something I assume?" Surprised I nodded. " How did you know ?" I asked evenly as possible. He shrugged awkwardly. " I know when someone is searching for something. I AM a search engine you are aware. I can tell "

Made sense to me.

I inched closer to the doorway and stood in its center as I gauged the robots behavior with my eyes. He was relaxed enough and right now was actually concerned with helping me out at the moment so I let myself become a little bit interested in Google's actually existing and standing here before me answering my questions. Kinda cool if the situation wa.

" Yeah I know that Google. " 

" What is it your searching for today? I may be of assistance." 

Should I trust him? Eh, what the hell. " I'm looking for a way back to the Rightside Up from here. I got kind of lost and made a wrong turn somewhere I guess." I admitted a little bit embarrased and Google nodded once , a bright blue search emblum appeared in front of him while the printer simultausly sprung to life behind him. 

For a moment I didn't notice anything unusual.

Then it happened more and more. 

Google was fine, then in a flash he would grin evily at me in a statically black and white form. Then back to normal Googs again for a minute. But when it happened more frequently and the black/ white version of Google began to rise from the the office chair that I realized who was getting into Google. The virus known as .....

Glitch!

Mother of shit! Foxy the big bag of dicks! I frantically looked around the room for something to use in defence when I saw the bedside lamp on a desk and the next thing I did surprised me.

I wretched it from the wall and smaked it over Glitche's head like a BOSS! Then he hit the floor, HARD. I delicatly pur the lamp back where I had found it and was leaving when I heard the printer beep.

I stepped over the poor guy I'd ganked and took the paper out of the printer, reading it fast. A map. Or half of one anyway. Showing my directions to the next location.

Looked like I was headed to the gaming room down this same hallway. But before I left I looked back at the guy on the floor with a sad look. He ......wasn't mean to me.......or tried to kill me until his darker side came along. 

" Sorry Google, I hope I didnt hit you too hard on the head." 

Then I closed the door behind me so if anyone else came along they wouldn't raise the alarms seeing a uncocuous Google on the floor. Then my journey continued.
