If They Only Knew

by Zinkshipper

What do the Matrix characters do for fun? A little drabble from Link, operator of the Neb. This was originally uploaded under my old username, but I wanted to make a clean break, so sorry for the bumpage.

Note: this was written as a little drabble over at the LiveJournal community matrix100, and it's my first crack at Matrix fanfic. The challenge was: "What do the Matrix characters do in their spare time?"

If They Only Knew, by Zinkshipper

They're good guys – Tank and Dozer. I know they mean well. But I get tired of them asking me the same question.

"Link, what do you do for fun?" And always with that same smirk.

Ever since I was 12, I wanted to be an operator. I'm serious about what I do. Can't help it if every time they see me, my nose is in a book. Besides, I have my fun. It's none of their business - but one of these days, they're going to force me to respond.

"Your sister. Your sister is what I do for fun."
