Welcome To Aperture!
Who are you?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterNow, what was going through Bass' mind was a huge whoppin', 'WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!?' And such as, 'WHO HAD THE KIND OF TECHNOLOGY TO DO THIS?!?' But instead came out a, "so, how do I get in? where do I need to go?"
"Well, you have to come to Aperture first, and what I see of you is fit enough for a good physical at this underground facility, so. What do you say?" said GLaDOS.
Bass thought for a little bit, thinking if this was a good idea, and his stomach said to do it. "Sure, I'll come there as soon as possible!"
"Here, I'll fax you a paper to give to the train conductor, to give a special ride to Aperture Laboratories..."
Getting the fax, Bass went straight for the Train station, bumping into a familiar sight, "hey, it's you. That kid!"
"Yeah, sorry man, thank you so much for what you've done, but I have to go home. Tell my other friend about this. See ya!" Anvil Spark swiftly approached the outskirts of Canterlot, and Bass never saw him again that day.
Bass arrived at the train station, and gave the conductor the fax as soon as he got there. "Here you go mister, I'm going to go to Aperture Laboratories."
"Are you out of your mind kid?!? Well, your own funeral." The train conductor checked the note for any spoofs, "all clear, board the train to get to Aperture sir'."
When Bass got on the train, he saw only 6 other ponies, of which he didn't recognize. Not caring, he just went on with his life like he did aboard the other train. Soon he got bored of looking out the window of Equestria, and played some Ponymon on the Gamecolt Advanced. "Oh man, I leveled up my Rainbow Dash!" Everypony quickly stared at him for a while, one of them saying, "Is that Ponymon?"
"Yeah, I just got it from the last party that I was hosting." He said briefly.
"Oh, well I never heard of you before." Said the indigo pony with a confused face.
"Probably because I only do post-celebration parties at Ponyville, sometimes my hometown Manehatten. Where do you live?" Replied Bass.
"First of all, My name is Riptide Tsunami, and live in Saddle, Washington." He replied.
"Oh wow, I like your name, it's very intriguing."
"My teacher said it was the most interesting name she's heard of, and I have a good natural born skill in surfing or any kind of water activities." Riptide had a proud look on his face as if he were a crown jewel.
"Hahahaha! My teacher said mine was the most rebellious, and I was rebellious. Got my work done though, and that's how I ended up here." Briefly after saying so, there was an awkward silence in the train, so he continued playing some more Ponymon on his Gamecolt.
Bass got woken up, and was told by Riptide, "hey dude, wake up. We're at Aperture Laboratories!"
"Oh cool, what time is it?"
"12:30 PM," said another pony.
Bass and Riptide got off the train together, and headed for the main entrance on the parking lot. Bass looked around at the trucks, and one of them said, "CAUTION: HEAVY SCIENTIFIC GEL OVER-LODE!" Not paying attention to that anymore, he saw a weird sphere robot that had a blue iris, and talked in an accent that was familiar to Doctor Whooves that said, "hello, my name is Wheatley, and I'll be taking you to the Enrichment Center, to watch a video of the basics of this physical we will be taking, so on this way, come on, come on. Don't be afraid now." Then pointing his iris in the general direction of the doorway.
"Now, GLaDOS is a feisty little fella, so you'll have to watch out for her, because she will get mad, and you'll not be happy. Trust me, it's happened to me before, and am glad to be infront of you right now, for the soul fact that I was in space orbiting the moon, and I was brought back from her, and which I am glad of." Wheatley seemed like the type that would abuse power of such, but seemed to be a very nice guy to Bass.
While looking at the scenery, Wheatley talked about how he met a pony on the moon, named Luna, and that she was a kind soul. He talked about many other things, but mostly hanged on that one.
"Wow, I never thought science could be escalated to such a degree. I've never seen such things!" While Bass was talking to Riptide about how amazing it was, he was really having his eyes glued to it. One time he actually ran into a pole, then said, "WOW! look at this cool pole! It's so... TEXTUREY!"
Riptide was mostly hanging on to what Wheatley was saying about his adventures of space, and how much of a delight it was, and how Luna was actually the reason he got to come back to Earth. Riptide thought, 'what's Earth?'
"Alright every??? Everypony, it's time to get to your enrichment centers, and watch the video to learn how to bust this CHALLENGE!" Said Wheatley enthusiastically wobbling his head around.
"Alright Riptide, see ya on the other side..."
"See ya Bass!"
