Part 1
The sun slowly made it's way over the buildings, lazily greeting the day, and began to warm the system with it's golden orange light.
"BEEP BEEP" The alarm next to the bed began to ring. A low grumble was heard from under the covers and a large green hand snaked out from the warm and fumbled for the snooze button before giving up and tossing the clock into the laundry hamper with a powerful swipe .
Andria , kicked the covers from off her , yawning and stretching she bounced out of bed to watch the sunrise.
She looked down a the green lump laying next to her "Are you coming with me to watch the sunrise?"
"Humph" Matrix growled throwing the blankets over his head. Andria crossed her arms
"OH, come on Matrix , it's so beautiful, I've never seen anything so gorgeous.
It's like time itself stands still for just a moment, and the world is magic and...."
"It's just a sunrise, Andria " Matrix mumbled " I can see one whenever I want to"
Andria shrugged her shoulders and went out to watch the dawn break.
Sometime later , Matrix trudged slowly out of the bedroom, making his way to the bathroom.
He looked out to the balcony of their apartment , to find Andria still watching the sky and snorted.
"Probably looking for rainbows " he muttered as he began to shower , "she finds such amusement in the most boring things " He stepped out of the shower and dried himself off, looking in the mirror as he put on a grey shirt and a pair of jeans , "whoa, I'm pale looking today" he stared back at his refection, it was almost a mint green hue looking back at him, "hmph, better get some vitamins or something at the store today" He turned to go the door .
THWACK!!!!
"FUCK!!!!"
Matrix let out a curse as he touched his head rubbing the sore spot.
Andria came rushing in "What happened ?" She asked touching the sore spot on his head.
"OW, I hit the door frame!" Matrix winced .
Andria ,looked at him skeptically "Weren't you watching where you were going?"
"Of course I was!" Matrix snapped " I just.........never mind let's go!" With that Matrix charged out the front door heading towards the diner.
"Matrix , come on don't be grumpy let's have fun today Ok!" Andria pouted .
Huh...un ok .." Matrix mumbled , he was having a hard time keeping up with the bouncy game sprite, the sun was ruthless. "God, the sun's bright " Matrix finally said in frustration.
Andria gave him a weird look "You Ok Matrix,?"
"I'm fine it's just bright out that's all," he squinted , and held his arm up to the sun. "Great now she think I'm sick or something..... oh well she hasn't noticed how pale my skin is at least"he thought .
Andria watched with concern as Matrix tripped again on a zip board that was plainly visible,
"Matrix" she asked "are you sure your alright?"
"I'm fine, I didn't see it cause of the sun" Matrix said irritate, this was the third time he'd hit or tripped on something since they began walking. "I'm fine really Andria, it's just the sun" he said walking into the diner.
"Right the sun" Andria nodded , looking up at the cloudy sky.
******************************************************************************
In the diner they met Bob and Dot at one of the tables.
Andria sat down next to Dot and Bob scooted over for Matrix to take a seat, Andria watched as the large green sprite took his place next to Bob she was still concerned, but Matrix had assured her everything was fine , he was probably just tired .
Bob started telling Matrix about a new game he'd been in and soon they were carrying on a lively conversation.
"So then the user threw a frozen turkey at me !" Bob cried
Matrix, threw his head back a laughed , while Dot talked with Andria.
"What do you think, Matrix?" Andria asked
"Huh?"
"Dot's new sweater what do you think of it?"
Matrix looked over at his sister "it's nice" he said still laughing a bit "but I don't think brown suits you very much"
Dot gave him a bizarre look , the table had suddenly become very quiet.
Matrix shifted uncomfortably "What?" He asked, the others were all staring at him as though he'd grown a second head .
"Matrix" Dot began "I asked you if you liked the sweater , what does my looking good in brown have to do with it ?"
Now it was Matrix's turn to look confused . "Well sis, since the sweater is brown I thought I'd tell you that the colour doesn't suit you very well, sorry I hurt you feelings" he was beginning to get annoyed by this.
The others looked from each other then back to Matrix. "WHAT?!!!" Matrix yelled.
"Matrix" Bob began "what colour is Dot's sweater?"
"Oh ,I get it !!! This is a joke, your trying to get me to loose my cool, " Matrix laughed
"Ok, I'll play along ... Brown Bob, Dot sweater is Brown"
Bob looked at him, there was something in his deep brown eyes that made Matrix uneasy
"Enzo" Bob said finally ""Dot's sweater is red"
