//------------------------------// // Part 2 Introduction // Story: My Little GLaDOS // by TheApexSovereign //------------------------------// "No matter how big a splash you make in this world whether you're Corey Feldman, Frankie Muniz, Justin Beiber or a talking teddy bear, eventually, nobody gives a shit." -Patrick Stewart Part 2: Old Habits are Impossible to Break GLaDOS is never going back to Aperture. That's the ugly truth. Plain and simple. She'll have to start a new life in Ponyville; get a job, make friends, find a special somepony and have fillies. You know, live 'The Equestrian Dream'. Over her dead body, live 'the Equestrian Dream'. Well if that's the case, she must be half dead. When living in Equestria, you're bound to make a few friends regardless. Sure, they may not be the usual flavor of Pinkie or Fluttershy, but they're still friends. I guess GLaDOS just naturally attracts crazies. As for a job, well, considering real science is obsolete in a land governed by magic, GLaDOS flips between jobs consisting of working as the town therapist and at Sugarcube Corner. But life in Equestria isn't complete without a little adventure. For GLaDOS, adventure is the equivalent of driving through the interstate blindfolded. She'll just lay low, stay in the background with the rest of Ponyville's humdrum deadbeats such as the shady Carrot Top and the sporadically dangerous Topsy Turvy. Or maybe the Fates have a real sadistic sense of humor. Because GLaDOS will soon come to realize that life in Ponyville isn't the relaxing solace she so painfully desires. Not by a long shot. There'll be many hardships she'll have to endure, both physically and mentally. Broken bones, stabs, burns, and getting your ass kicked in more ways than one are just at the top of the cynical mare's now-everyday life. Of course, pain isn't the only thing she'll experience. There are the beautiful parts of organic life that GLaDOS is just dying to live, such as attending a posh gathering of Equestria's snobbiest, crushing Lyra's childhood of anthropological studies in the blink of an eye, or getting caught up in the heat of Estrus Season. But not everything is zany adventures for GLaDOS, I'm afraid. Her mind-cracks are getting worse every week. But that's okay. She'll take her mind off things by doing tests. Lots and lots of tests. Ranging from simple experiments like turning Fluttershy into a 'cold-blooded killer' to constructing the most horrid abomination ever conceived in Equestria's history. What about redemption? Will GLaDOS (unknowingly) redeem herself? Did becoming an organic give her just a little more humility? Does a sob story and a few beneficial acts warrant atonement for her misdeeds? Who knows, and as far as she's concerned, who cares? As all of this unfolds before her, GLaDOS begins to unintentionally rally the ponies against their once beloved ruler and the Elements of Harmony. Top that with Equestria's most notorious figures dropping like flies and Princess Celestia certainly has her hooves full. Has she truly met her match? Will GLaDOS end up being Equestria's reckoning or its savior? I think we all know the answer to that. (Told in an episodic series of events.) Next Time: Alkeyhall-Glados celebrates 'the first day of the rest of her life' with Applejack, following the ancient art of 'The American' by getting piss drunk and just pouring out her bottled up feelings via bar fight.
