By the way, I cant make italics, and xxx turns out in code or something, so 'xxx' means italics, a.k.a, emphasis.

(Ooh, big word!).

The next morning, Trinity pulled on her pants and slid on her shoes. "Sleep well?" she asked Neo as she

went to the mirror.

Neo sat on the edge of the bed, "No. In fact, I got up around three and was talking with Spark's sister." He

had to be honest, she'd find out eventually and it'd be better if it came from him. Neo paused, waiting for Mount

Trinity to erupt.

"Oh?" Trinity was running her hands through her short brown hair and frowning at her reflection.

"Yeah," Neo gained confidence, "And I'm allowed to talk to girls, you know."

"I'm sorry, did I say you weren't?"

"No...It's just that you got all pissed when I talked to Rev and-"

"Rev is different," Trinity quickly interrupted, "And why did you bring that up? Are you saying that I keep

you on a leash?"

"No, but-"

"Well, it's not like you had sex with Flame; or Rev for that matter."

"Of course not," Neo said, a bit confused, "It's just that I thought you'd be mad."

Trinity came back out, "Is that why you did it? You talked to Flame in hopes that I'd get mad?"

"No! No," Neo stated, "It's nothing like that!"

"Well then, we don't have a problem, now do we?" Trinity spoke curtly.

"Uh...no?"

"Then there's no need for this pointless conversation, right?"

"No?"

"Good," she kissed him on the cheek. Neo put his elbows on his knees and his head in hands. Trinity

stopped in the doorway and looked back at him. "You wanna talk." She said it, not asked it, in a tone that meant she

knew he wanted to.

"Well, yeah," Neo looked up, "But we never do 'talk' Trinity, we argue. We fight, bicker, or yell. I think

that all line of communications between us are down. And now there's this baby thing-"

"Baby thing?" Trinity turned around to face him, "Are you saying that you don't want to care for my child,

because it's not yours?"

"Trinity, you knew that's not what I meant!"

She stepped forward and grabbed his shirt, pulling him to his feet, "Well listen, dumbass, you're not the one

carrying the god damn thing around in you stomach all day, okay? You don't have to feed two people instead of just

one! You don't even know what the hell pain 'is'." She released him and he dropped onto the bed.

"Jeez," Neo muttered, rubbing the back of his neck, "Talk about PMS."

"Yeah, Putting up with Men's Shit."

"I'm gonna get a shower," Neo said angrily, glaring at Trinity.

"You do that." Trinity walked over to her bag and rooted through it as Neo swung open the door on the

right and stepped inside. The door closed. "Neo," Trinity said calmly, "That's the closet."

Neo stepped out, "I'm aware of that," he stormed across the room and slammed he bathroom door behind

him.



A moment later, Trinity knocked on Spark's door, "May I use your bathroom?" she asked sweetly.

"Uh, sure. I guess." Spark watched her walk in and flush the toilet. She paused in the doorway and waited.

A moment later, she heard Neo yelp from several doors down. She smiled at Spark, "Thanks. I feel better." She

headed back to her room and Spark heard her mutter with a smile,"Gotta love Zion's water heater..."
