not now nor ever will own Reboot
Author's Notes:
This has slightly mature wording, don't worry its nothing gross or totally inappropriate,
but you would probably have to understand sex. Uh keep in mind that I haven't
actually seen season 3, I only know about it from all the websites I visit, but
I have seen 1 and 2, and I can't wait to see season 4 cause my dad just moved
me into a house with cable. BOO YAA, ok enough of the silly retarded crap. Uh
any way keep in mind that if anything sounds weird, its cause I haven't seen
the 3rd season, I do know what goes on, I just don't really know it in detail.
Any way have a great day.
Lover
by Catnip
Enzo Matrix had witnessed life
in so many different ways so far. When he was younger he thought he was lucky
just to know Bob and to see all the cool stuff he got to do. Then Bob made him
a guardian, and all at once it became an honor and a burden. With all this
happening so fast he did not expect to suddenly be taken away from his home and
sister. The few hours were very challenging towards him. Not only was he having
to go through puberty, but he had to do it with a girl who was also
experiencing the change. But AndrAIa wasn't the type of sprite who would make
you feel embarrassed about something like that, in fact Enzo felt rather comfortable
having her around, and intern she felt the same way towards him. It was only natural for them to fall in
love, and for them to do other things related to that matter.
Dot had a similar perspective to
their relationship. Like any smart woman she could put two and two together and
know that if they made it back to Mainframe together that they would most
likely return without their virginity. In a way it was sort of a relief for Dot
to know that they had fallen in love, because love is a very mature thing, if
you can find it in the right way then you have proven to be mature. When they
came back she saw a similar expression in both their eyes, an expression that
just looks like love, she knew it was love because that was the look she had recognized
in Bob's eyes every time they would make up after one of their ''tiffs'', and
one day right after she and Bob had shared a nice friendly talk she walked by a
mirror and saw the look in her own eyes. It scared her for a second, but then
it all just became clear. Otherwise it gave her a nice feeling just to see them
together and happy, a bit disappointed that she would no longer be the one taking
care of her brother, but over all she was happy for them both.
After the restart of Mainframe
everything seemed to be starting off quite well. Bob and Dot had finally
admitted their feelings to each other and started their new relationship as
lovers, and Matrix and AndrAIa had moved into their own place. Little Enzo was
doing things that little Enzo's do such as, give Bob a couple new bruises, make
Dot drift to the idea boarding schools, boot camp, etc. As well as play with
Frisket, drive Matrix insane, and giving AndrAIa a little more exercise, by
trying to keep her lover from deleting the younger version of himself. He once approached
Dot and asked her
"Was I
really like that?"
her reply was a
sneaky smile and a pat on the cheek. All in all life in Mainframe couldn't be
better except for something that bugging Matrix. He and AndrAIa had know each
other for almost all of their lives and he wanted to make their bond eternal.
Marriage wasn't something that the people of Mainframe practiced, and they
didn't practice it because they had never heard of it. In their culture to
process a family was the ultimate sign of commitment. So Matrix wondered if
there was another way to show commitment besides processing a family. He and
AndrAIa had talked about starting a family, but they had both agreed that they
wanted to do it once they were back in Mainframe and gotten settled. Well they
were back in their home and settled and now Matrix set out to speak to the only
person who might have an answer to his question. Bob.
Being in the web for so long,
Bob had learned a lot, and besides being Matrix's idol for so long, he was the
perfect sprite to turn to. So there they were, at Dot's Diner, a perfectly
typical place for two friends to talk and Matrix decides to come right out and
ask Bob.
"Uh Bob, I
was wondering. When you were in the web did you find out anything about you
know relationships, commitment, kids etc?" Matrix asked with a hint of
neverousness in his voice
Bob smoothly
took a sip of his java, and returned the question.
"Why do you
ask?''
"Well to be
honest, I love AndriAIa, and the only
way to really commit to a sprite or anyone around here is to process a family,
but she and I both aren't ready for that, but I want sort of a rain check. You
know where we already are committed just haven't got the kids yet." he
said
"Ok, I
follow." Bob said
"So, do you
have an answer to this?" Matrix asked
"Well when
I was in the web I did wander on the some thing in that area, believe it or not
there are some user couples who do have kids to show commitment, or they have
kids and don't commit. But I also learned about marriage, its like what you describe
and a lot of users do it, and some of the users that do it think that the other
way is totally wrong. Its really mixed up" he said
"Boy am I
glad I live in a PC" Matrix said "but any way tell me more about this
marriage thing"
Cycles can really only pass as
quick as you want them to, or as quick as you let them. Well the beings of
Mainframe let the day pass into a night cycle. Now Bob and Dot were in their apartment
preparing to re-energize. Dot was in the Reboot version of a bathroom taking
off her makeup and brushing her hair, While Bob rebooted out of his silver
armor into a gray tee shirt and boxers.
"I was
talking to Matrix earlier this afternoon, we had an interesting
conversation." he said
"About
what?"
"He was
asking me what I learned in the web about relationships"
"Are he and
AndrAIa ok?'' she asked stepping out of the bathroom in her black night gown
"yeah, they
are fine, but it seems like he wants to take their relationship to the next
level." he replied sitting down on the bed.
"In what
way?'' she asked joining him
"Well he
asked if their was a way that they could commit just not process a family. So I
told him how the users did it."
"Oh yes you
were telling me about that. So what is he going to do?"
"he's gonna
think about. I have a hunch that he might ask you some questions later
on." Bob said beginning to relax. There was silence between them for about
ten nanos (I think that's what seconds are) then Dot spoke.
"Bob I was
thinking about something"
"ok, you usually
do that, and your pretty good at it to.'' he said
"Ha
ha" she said sarcastically "but any way, I was thinking that our
lives aren't really going to get more calm, and I've though about it for awhile
and I've decided that I want to have a baby."
"r-really,
are you sure?'' he asked
"Bob, I'm
just getting the feeling like it's now or never. I love you so much and I just
really would like another sprite in our lives that we can both love. Bob I've
thought this through, and this is what I want and I want it with you."
"I've got
an idea to." he said
"and what's
that?" she asked
"lets get
married, like the users. I want to Dot I love you more than anything in the
net. I want to be with you forever and I like us to do it this way"
"You know
me to well guardian. I would be delighted beyond words. I love you Bob."
she said
"I love you
two"
"You know
what this means now don't you?" she said
"Several
infact, but I'm getting a vibe that your thinking of just one in
particular" he replied
"It means
that now we have to come up with cute nicknames for each other"
"Oh user I
have a ton for you. Sleepless Beauty, Java Breath, Worky Jerky. Only to name a
few"
"What about
the idea to have a baby?'' she asked
"I like it
and I think that its time we finally settled down and got married and have
kids, its a great idea Dot" he said pulling her closer to him.
Dot put her head
on his chest wrapped her arm around his body.
"I love you
to Bob. Being with you and falling in love with you is the best thing that has
ever happened to me.''
"Me too
Dot, Mrs. Guardian 452." Bob leaned down and kissed her gently
At the same time as this was
going on Matrix and AndrAIa were in bed. AndrAIa had a desk lamp on because she
decided to read for a little while. Matrix was just lying down with his eyes
open.
"AndrAIa, I
have a question for you" he said
AndrAIa looked
up from her book and asked "What is it?"
"If by any
chance we somehow got into your game, would you consider going back and leaving
Mainframe?"
"Sparky, I
was definitely not the sharpest knife in the kitchen when I was young, but I
did know that when I downloaded my code into yours that I would probably never
see my home again. I also knew that by doing that I would most likely be with
you until I deleted. I still know that. The reason I did what I did is because
I knew that I was going to fall in love with you eventually, because I loved
you then. Now that I've said all this I think you can gather enough sense to
know that I'd never leave you for anything." she said
"thank you,
I just wanted to hear that, because I do want us to be together forever. And
Earlier today I was talking to Bob and he told me about something the Users do.
They practice this custom called marriage." he said. Just then she interrupted.
"Marriage?
oh we do that in my game to."
"Really, so
you know about it and how its works?'' he asked
"Yes, for
some reason it was downloaded into our software. Why, well what did Bob tell
you about it?"
"Uh, pretty
much all he knew, and any way I was going to ask you if you wanted to do it,
and since your already familiar with it, it makes it a bit easier. So what do
you think?" he asked
"Propose to
me and I'll tell you" she replied.
Matrix smiled a
little big, hauled his butt out of the bed, went round to AndrAIa's side, went
down on one knee, took her hand and asked
"AndrAIa, I
love you with every ounce of my being, and I want you to become AndrAIa Matrix,
so will you please do me the spectacular honor of becoming my wife?''
"Wow, with
a proposal like that how could I say no" she said
Matrix propelled
him self up and kissed her. Everything was perfect. After wards Matrix smiled.
AndrAIa said that he should have smiled more often, but then he said it would
ruin his entire image.
Things went on pretty quickly
after that. Bob and Dot's wedding was mostly traditional. Bob wore a tux and
Dot wore a lovely white dress that suited her perfectly. Phong did the wedding
and they spent their honeymoon in a charming little hotel by the docks.
Matrix and AndrIA on the other
hand, eloped, to the super computer. Dot figured it was because they were both
the type of sprites who liked to show off a bit.
Bob and Dot moved into the PO
and began to make it into their new home. Matrix and AndrAIa stayed in their
small apartment near the diner.
Four minutes after their marriage began Dot announced that she was
pregnant. Crazy things happened soon after. The sort of things that didn't
happen around Mainframe very often.
To be
