The Matrix Mall
This is my first fan fiction, though I've been a reader of work for a while! I am sorry if this copies someone's work, as far as I know it s an original work, as I haven't had time to read everyone's work as great as I'm sure it is....... This is kinda set the first movie..
Disclaimer: None of the original Matrix characters belong to me. A passing shopper, however is my character. She will develop!
Neo stood in the massive entrance hall his head turning left and right at the sights of passing shoppers dashing in and out of the many-glassed windows. He turned to Morpheous. "Where are we?" he asked.
" This is the Matrix mall," Morpheous said, handing Neo a brightly coloured leaflet. " It is the source of necessity for all" Morpheous grinned at Neo's puzzled expression "Basically is it's black, shiny and looks good when you're fleeing from an agent, it's here. If we're going to be cowardly we might as well look good."
"Eighty six of the hundred and seventy eight stores sell sunglasses" Neo read from the leaflet. "Is that really necessary?
"Oh yes" said Morpheous.
"Why am I here?" (If Morpheous had been the Oracle he would have been able to tell Neo that he was going to say that a hell of a lot. But Morpheous wasn't the oracle, though when given the chance he made great cookies.)
" To look around," answered Morpheous "To revel in the world of the ordinary shopper without the worry that you will never find the car in the giant multi-storey car park"
"Why don't we have to worry about that?"
" I parked just over there"
Neo turned his head to see that the car they had arrived in parked haphazardly in the middle of the decorative fountain. He shook his head in wonder at the amazing ideas these freedom fighters had. Why hadn't he ever thought of parking in the middle of a mall before? He followed a passing shopper, who looked strangely like Anne Robinson, into the nearest store.
The shop he had entered was a bookstore. Seven thousand books lined the silver shelves. Neo looked across at his fellow shoppers. One, a young woman with blonde hair was engrossed in "Are you The One? The bumper quiz book", while a man in the next aisle was reading "The A to Z of shades". For a while Neo sat wondering at the marvellous delights of "Kung new: Kung fu for beginners", until Morpheous walked up "Ready to go?"
"Sort of. I can't decide between "Harry Potter" and this book: "Guns, guns and more guns- a guide to guns"
"Harry Potter is so unrealistic. There meant to be Heroes and they don't wear sunglasses! And you know what else? They even."Morpheous stopped. His problems with this book ran deep, but right now he was boring himself. He picked up "Alice and wonderland" "This book, however has a lot of useful metaphors in it." He proclaimed.
Neo, however had walked to the counter where he was engaging in conversation with a young man who looked a lot like Agent Smith. After a while Neo began to recognise the man "You're an agent aren't you?" he asked conversationally. Smith sighed, "I was hoping you wouldn't notice. Bad knee. Can't really fight."
"I don't even know how to fight," said Neo.
"We have to fight though. It's like this unwritten rule"
"It's not really unwritten though, is it? Said Neo
"What do you mean?
"Well it's on this memo we just got sent"
FROM: Film high command TO: Neo and Agent Smith Msg: FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? PS Where the hell is Trinity?
The two nemesis looked at each other each wrapped deep in thought, until Neo remembered the woman reading the quiz book when he came in (See, annoying seemingly pointless descriptive bits are there for a reason) "I know!" he said,
"Lets have a general knowledge quiz" Neo grabbed a copy of the weakest link bumper quiz book off a passing shopper. (Hooray for passing shopper! ye has saved the day!) "Ok question one: What word beginning with c describes a household pet who."
"Cat" said Smith
"Let me finish! What word beginning with c describes a household pet who has connections to witchcraft."
"Cat" said Smith, slightly angrier this time.
"You are so rude! Said Neo "What word beginning with c describes a household pet who has connections to witchcraft and were sacred animals to the Egypt.
"CAT!" yelled Smith his eyes protruding with anger. (If he could Smith would be banging his head against the wall, but the wall didn't exist- it was a computerised figment of a geniuses imagination, so it wasn't really worth it.)
Yet Neo carried on "Egyptians, and are often portrayed as dogs worst enemies?" There was a pause.
Neo coughed. "Do you want me to repeat the question?"
"NO!" It's CAT! C-A-T! How many times?" yelled Smith
"Hang on, I'll just check the back of the book. yes Cat is correct. though I would have also excepted feline or kitty. You have one hundred pounds. Would you like to bank it?" Neo said
"Yes"
"Well you can't. My turn, you ask me one"
Smith sighed taking the book "Ok, Which chemical element..,"
"Potassium " Neo cut across
"Incorrect Mr Anderson." Smith laughed cruelly.
"I'm the One, who needs a ready mind full of General knowledge when I can just do this." Neo kicked Smith out through the wall of the shop. "I wish people would stop doing that!" sighed the shopkeeper, dismally picking up the phone to call for maintenance.
Review please..........(((((
