Rick had grown worried about Wheatley and Cave. Even though they were discovered to be one and the same it seemed that they grew more distant each time he saw them. Cave had also started to disappear and reappear randomly, never telling them where he went. As well, as Rick and the Fact Core got better and better at magic Wheatley seemed to be getting jealous, as he had not truly figured out how to fly yet and spent most of his time on the ground tinkering with his inventions. Fluttershy tried to teach him but she rarely flies and when she does it is normally nothing more than a hover. Rainbowdash had gotten busy teaching the Space Core how to fly without going to the moon, so she had no time to teach Wheatley. As well the Fact Core had gotten his cutie mark, an encyclopedia, and was now working full-time at the library cataloging maps.

The only real company that Wheatley seemed to have were Fluttershy and Chell, who he met up with and chatted with quite often. But even with those two as friends he seemed to be becoming very different than he usually was. Instead of his normal idiotic happiness he now was always serious, always ready to outdo and outsmart anypony and everypony around him.

Rick looked up from the table, snapping himself out of his thoughts. "Hey Twilight, is it just me or is Wheatley becoming an asshole?" he asked Twilight, who was sitting across from him, reading a new book that she had gotten.

"Mm?" she replied, obviously not paying any attention.

"Never mind. Hey Fact Core, is it just me or-"

"I heard the question." the Fact Core said, cutting Rick off. "And yes, he is becoming an asshole, Fact: If you be an asshole to an asshole neither of you will be assholes. In comparison."

"Yeah, like that's gonna help. I'd be better off asking the Space Core." Rick said sarcastically.

"I don't think you should be talking about your friends like that." Twilight said, closing her book.

"Oh so you hear that but not my question?" Rick snapped.

"Sorry I get wrapped up in my reading sometimes." Twilight said, looking a little sad.

"Didn't mean to sound so mean. It's just that. Well. I." Rick stumbled at the last bit of his sentence, trying to find the correct word.

"You're worried about him?" Twilight said with a sly smile. They had made a bet a couple of days ago that Rick would never care for any of the other cores. For thirty bits.

"I guess so." Rick said, tossing her the coins which he had just fished out from under his hat. "I mean, I am worried that he may change back to the way he was when he was plugged into GLaDOS' body."

"Whatever happened to GLaDOS anyways? Did you remove her from the forest?" Twilight asked, and Rick froze.

"Excuse my language please. SHIT!" he yelled, slamming the table. "She could be fully revived and planning a trap for us now!"

"Calm down Rick. I will get the elements together and retrieve the body and bring it to the Canterlot prison." Twilight said.

"Okay." Twilight then got up and left the room to get her friends.

"Hey Fact Core, does she know it's like three in the morning?" Rick asked the pink maned cartographer.

"No." The Fact Core replied. Rick smiled.

"This'll be fun."

0=(Two Days Later)=0

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY DISAPPEARED!" Wheatley roared, slamming his two front hooves down onto the table so hard it collapsed.

"Whoa! Calm down! We know where they are!" Rick said, trying to defuse the situation before Wheatley turned into a serial killer.

"Where are they than." Wheatley huffed, dispersing his anger. Rick took a deep breath, and looked over to Chell and the Fact Core, who nodded.

"To our knowledge, they are in the Everfree forest with GLaDOS." Rick said, then winced as Wheatley's anger flared again.

"WHAT! YOU JUST LET THEM GO IN THERE!" Wheatley yelled, barely stopping himself from reaching across the gap where Twilight's breakfast table used to be and strangling Rick.

"They sounded like they had things handled. They even had their element thingies, which are the greatest weapon on this freaking planet!" Rick replied. Wheatley's right eye started twitching, then he quickly settled down. Faster than he should have calmed down without help.

"Well, lets go get them." he said calmly.

"Yeah, cause we are totally gonna just run into an unknown evil forest to fight an evil narcissistic robotic bitch who has had two weeks to memorize the terrain." Chell cut in before Rick could speak.

"Well, yeah. If we go in fighting we have a stronger chance of coming out in one piece, with the bearers in tow." Wheatley said.

"He does seem right, however the extra amount of percentage is only point zero zero one." the Fact Core said.

"So that's our plan?" Rick said with a grin. Wheatley nodded. "I like it. Lets go kick some robotic ass!"

0=0=0

"So this is the infamous GLaDOS that and the cores have been talking about." Twilight said, looking through the bars of her cage at the tall metallic alicorn. Her wings were short and had small cylinders attached to the bottom of each, which must be the cannons Rick and Chell told them about. Her head swiveled around to face her, the eyes glowing a harsh yellow.

"Infamous? I am only doing what I was made for: Science. It was them who are the villains. Especially Chell, that mute lunatic has tried to kill me twice now. And those cores. First of all Wheatley took over MY facility, nearly blowing it up with us in it in the process.He turned me into a potato battery. Tried to kill me and Chell more times that I can count. Until I took back the facility he was on a rampage. The other three cores are corrupt and can snap at any moment. When they do they will strike hard." GLaDOS said to her.

"They would never hurt us! We're their friends!" Rainbowdash said, struggling against the chains binding her wings.

"I am sorry about the chains. You don't have zero-point gravitational funnel bindings here so I had to use these rudimentary tools. Also, are they really your friends? They just showed up and started living here. Off you. For free. They are just free-loaders." GLaDOS replied.

"They do work fer us ta pay us off!" Applejack said, and GLaDOS cringed.

"Ooh I have got to make you be quiet somehow. That accent will make my artificial brain die bit by bit. And also. What work have they done? Haggle a doctor? Fail at building a barn? Catalog maps?" GLaDOS said.

"Yeah, they're jobs. So they aren't freeloaders!" Rainbow said.

"And how do you know so much about us? About them?" Twilight asked.

"I am having a little help. Although he is making me talk very much unlike what I normally would." GLaDOS replied, then she became enveloped in a soft blue light. When the light receded another alicorn stood there, looking very ghostly.

"Hello there. How have you been?" Cave Johnson asked the group.

Author's Note

I know it has been a long time. Also, it is intentional to have parts that seem like severe plot points missing. That is because I am going to write it after the end, mostly because if I put it in it would all be filler and there would be no real point. But yeah, after this chapter (all parts) is done I will put it in. I mean, I am trying to keep the story in the middle of filler and keeping the storyline moving. Sorry if it bothers you.
