Rick looked across the table at Chell. Deciding to break the awkward silence that had fallen around the group he finally spoke. "You would think that at least one of these ponies would notice that six of their neighbors went missing." he joked.

"Really though!" Wheatley laughed, but Chell didn't even crack a smile.

"I can't believe you two! Your friends get kidnapped by your worst nightmare and you just sit on your butts and joke around for a day? Some friends you are!" Chell snapped.

"Alright then, pack your freaking bags Chell. We move now." Wheatley commanded.

"What bags? I have even less stuff then I did in Aperture!" she replied.

"Good we can move immediately. Rick, Fact Core, grab the Space Core and meet us at the edge of the Everfree." Wheatley said.

"Why meet you there? We can just follow you." Rick stated.

"Where is the Space Core?" Wheatley asked, and Rick looked around the library.

"DAMN IT!"

Cave reappeared behind Caroline and was about to tell her what happened when he noticed she was talking. "-Remove your mouths with magic, at least you shut up. Now, onto other matters. Where is that imbecile Cave? I swear if I didn't have to trick him into helping me this would be so much easier."

"Trick me huh?" Cave said.

"Oh. What is going on with me? I feel so stupid, my pattern of speech is changed and that stupid voice is back." GLaDOS said.

"So that was what Wheatley was talking about, you being evil. Sucks I didn't believe him at first. He will never think I am going to help him now. Well, you know what? I think I will try to help him, better than helping you." Cave said, then he once again disappeared. GLaDOS turned to the bearers.

"Do you know why I wanted Wheatley back?" she asked them. Knowing she wouldn't get a response she continued. "I thought that if I got him back, I would get Cave back. Then the other bit of me, Caroline would go somewhere else into another computer with him and I would be able to test with no interruptions. Chell dragged me here and I found you, sentient ponies. The thoughts of testing came to my head. And also, I have a one-way ticket back to Aperture." she said, then she fired up her horn and grabbed something out of the bushes. To Twilight it was just a weird claw thing, but to GLaDOS, it was a Quantum Tunneling Device, or, a portal gun. "I was able to drag this through with me when Chell brought me here. This is my way back." Twilight's eyes widened as she realized what GLaDOS was going to do.

"THE FINAL FRONTIER AWAITS! SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" the Space Core screamed. In the market, that was filled with ponies. One of them leaned closer to Rick, who was trying desperately to get said core off of the top of the statue of Princess Celestia.

"I can help with his, special, problems." he said to Rick.

"Screw off buddy, if you knew where we came from you'd wanna go to space too." Rick replied. "Space Core! Space Core! SPACE CORE! GET YOUR DAMN ASS DOWN HERE BEFORE I KICK IT DOWN!" he yelled at the crazy Pegasus.

"Fine. Space." he said sadly, jumping down effortlessly. He then followed Rick over to three very unhelpful ponies, who were laughing their guts out.

"Next time you do it Wheatley." Rick grumbled, yanking the other two cores off of the ground by their necks.

"Ouch! Not so hard!" Wheatley complained.

"Fact: Any harder and you would have killed me." the Fact Core said, rubbing his own neck.

"That's what she said." a voice said.

"Cave? What are you doing back here?" Rick asked, holding a now furious Wheatley back.

"Just found out GLaDOS was tricking me. Came to help you." he said calmly.

"Okay, sure. Glad to have you aboard." everypony/core/one turned around to Wheatley, who had said it.

"Mood swings much." Chell said under her breath.

"Anyways lets get going." Wheatley said, walking off towards the Everfree forest with the group in tow.

"Aren't you going to ask about how I can help you?" Cave asked.

"Now that you mention it, how can you help us?" Wheatley asked.

"You know how I have both wings and a horn?" he said. Wheatley nodded. "Yeah I can give you a horn." he finished.

"Cool. It would be better if I knew how to use magic." Wheatley said, unimpressed.

"Oh. Well it will look cool, just like that smiley face on my calculator."

"Just do it." Rick cut in before Wheatley could say anything else.

"Okay." Cave said. Quickly Wheatley was enveloped in the same blue light as always, and when it faded Wheatley was an alicorn, just as Cave said he would be. "Alrighty! Lets go kick some robo-ass!" Cave announced.

"Pssh, we've been saying that for the past day-and-a-half." Chell said, completely ruining the moment.
