A/N: Wow! I'm really happy to get such a positive response to such a short first chapter :D I promise this one will be longer. Thanks you guys, reviewers rock! I'm trying to pound out a few more scenes since I only have some random ones so far and I don't want to post out of order. Enjoy!
Oh, and I realized after I posted the last chapter that I forgot to post a disclaimer. So here it is…
DISCLAIMER: As I am not either of the Bros. Wachowski, I do not own any part of the Matrix in any way, except for of course a copy of the DVDs. But anyway. I don't claim ownership to these characters or the plot. My obscure ramblings are meant in no way to be taken seriously. So, I think this disclaimer has been quite long enough *end*
One more thing about this chapter. Yes, I have decided to re-name Neo to "Neato." Just because I can.

[Neato lies asleep in front of his computer. Drool is steadily dripping from his mouth into a puddle on the floor. In the background we hear N*SYNC playing and see about 50 AIM windows open on the computer screen…]

DCG: Heyyyy mannnn…
Neato: You're late, you're late, for a very important date!
DCG: Whaaa…
Neato: *sigh* Wait here.
[Neato retrieves discs from a book that is not symbolic at all. In any way.]
DCG: YESS!! "Iron Giant"!!!!
Neato: Now remember, if you get caught watching that crap…
DCG: I know, I know, you won't get me a copy of "Shrek 2." But really, thanks dude! You're like…my savior! My own personal Jesus Christ! The One who will sacrifice himself for all of us! Practically a reincarnation of God himself!
Neato: [classic blank stare]
DCG: Whoa…you're looking a little pasty there, Personal Christ. Maybe you should…oh, I don't know…unplug??
Girlfriend: Okay, enough blatant symbolism from you. My turn. [Lifts arm in front of Neato to reveal a white rabbit tattoo.] Look!
Neato: uhh…where? [Looks over her shoulder]
White Rabbit: Hey buddy! Down here!
Neato: Whaa…HEY! It's a talking white rabbit! Coool…
DCG and Girlfriend: Come with us Neato!
Neato: No I don't think so.
White Rabbit: Aw, pleeease?
Neato: No, I really don't think…
White Rabbit: But I'm a symbol!!!
Neato: [Audible sounds of brain working] Symbol! Ah yes! I should do what the anonymous hacker told me to do and follow the symbol!!
[Exeunt.]

End! :D
