Chapter 8
"Well, seeing as how you owe me two thousand pounds okay, sure, but these aren't worth two thousand pounds. But seeing your condition, I'll let you off just this once."
Amy grabbed the light blue property cards that One had just handed her in exchange for not charging him for landing on Mayfair where a hotel was situated.
"Thank you One, Now, Two, seeing as it's now my turn and your banker, can I please buy four houses for the Angel Islington?" Amy asked in a sweet little voice. She put the money on the Monopoly board and waited.
Why is she winning? We're the ones that are supposed to be winning! One asked telepathically.
Well, she has the most money and we can't both be winning at the same time. Two calmly stated .
"Hellloooo? Two?! HOUSES!" Amy shouted. She was getting impatient, waiting was boring and she wanted to bankrupt the Twins.
She had all of the orange cards (Bow street, Marlborough street and Vine street), The dark blue cards (Park lane and Mayfair), and now she had all of the light blue cards (The Angel, Islington, Euston road and Pentonville avenue) and they all, except for the light blue cards, had hotels on them. She also owned the electric company, the water works and all of the stations on the board.
"Here." Two handed Amy the houses that she had requested and watched as she neatly rowed them along her property. She rolled the dice again and landed on Community chest.
"Get out of jail free . . ." she said aloud so the Twins could hear her. "Not that I'll need it, I never go to jail".
"We are getting aggravated . . ." One said. He stared Amy down, it was easier because he and Two were sitting on the couch and Amy was sitting on the floor, behind the coffee table that they had the board on.
". . . Yes, we are." Two said, he was also staring Amy down.
The stubborn teenager decided to ignore them. She played with her dog which was in front of her. "Your turn Two."
Two grabbed the dice and rolled, surprise, surprise, a two. A one on each dice. He moved the car to land on the free parking square. He picked up the money in the middle of the board. He owned the red cards (Strand, Fleet Street and Trafalgar square), the yellow cards (Leicester square, Coventry street and Piccadilly) and the brown cards (Old Kent road and Whitechapel road).
"Roll again, you got a double" Amy said flatly, she had gotten bored of reminding him all the time.
Two rolled the dice again and was happy to see that he got a seven. That landed him on Leicester square, where he was safe.
One picked up the dice and let them drop onto the table. They landed on three, Community chest, he picked up his battle ship and moved it around the board, Two handed him two hundred pounds and passed him a Community chest card.
"You have come second place in a beauty contest, collect ten pounds," He said aloud. Two gave him ten pounds from the bank, trying to hide his smile.
One heard muffled laughter. Amy had her hands over her mouth and her eyes were shut.
"What?!" One shouted at Amy. The girl sat up and her face straightened. She started saying something and he could see that she was having trouble getting the words out without laughing.
"Sorry, I just had a very strange mental picture of you with a crown over you dreadlocks and, and . . ." She broke of her sentence in fits of laughter and giggles.
Two did the same, only his laugh didn't quite sound so girlie, he stopped when One kicked his shin. "Hey! OW!"
Amy stopped laughing long enough to roll her dice. "Four" she said, still giggling a little. She moved her dog to sit on Chance. "Oh crap" she sobered.
"What?!" asked One who wanted to return his anger to the little brat sitting in front of him.
"Advance to Trafalgar square." she said as she moved her dog two spaces.
"That'll be three hundred pounds," Two said proudly. He put the new money with the rest of his stash as Amy handed it over, grudgingly.
Two asked for the dice and Amy handed it over to him so he could roll. "Four"
"Jail! Yeah!" Amy shouted unexpectedly. "Not so happy now, are ya."
Two moved his car to jail. Amy laughed at him but was quiet when he did the exact same look he had given her when he was holding her a few feet from the ground earlier on.
"Creepy" Amy muttered under her breath.
One grabbed the dice. He threw them across the board and watched as they landed on nine. Pall mall. He was lucky, this time. He owned The green cards (Regent street, Oxford street and bond street) and also the pink cards (Pall Mall, White hall and Northumberl'd avenue).
"My turn" Amy said and picked up the dice. She rolled an eleven, managing to evade all of the things that might stop her. "Liverpool Street station".
"I rolled a double, I get out of jail" Two said after rolling the dice. He moved his ship over slightly so it rested on the part of the board marked 'Just visiting'.
"You almost always roll a double, I have no idea how you manage it though." Amy said as she handed the dice to One.
One snatched the dice out of Amy's hands and rolled them as far away from him as he could, he didn't want to know what he had landed on. It was almost always bad.
He looked up at the 'brat' sitting in front of him. She was grinning broadly. He was about to ask why but instead he looked down. Vine street. He checked the dice, yup, seven.
"You owe me . . . one, thousand pounds" Amy said happily and burst out laughing again. She watched through tears of joy as One looked at the very small pile of money that he had on the couch next to him.
"Hey, would you like an I O U? Because all I have is some lint that I found from, actually it looks like it came from your jumper . . ." Amy cleared her throat which made One continue telling her what he had. "I have, some lint, two hundred pounds and . . ." He stopped and looked at Amy. He smiled as he realised an easier way out.
"And?" Amy asked patiently.
"And, my sunglasses" He said. He got up and turned down the lights, then sat back down again.
Amy sat and thought, knowing the answer was obvious, she also knew that One knew the answer was obvious, but she did like his sunglasses.
She smiled and put out her hand. One took off his sunglasses and handed them to her.
"Ooh, grey eyes, cool" Amy said as she looked at Ones eyes while he wasn't rubbing them.
Two watched as his brother blinked and rubbed his eyes. Why hadn't he just given her the money?
Amy put the shades on and smirked. She watched as the Twins went from reasonably happy to worried.
"Don't smirk." Two said as he handed the dice to Amy.
A little while later Amy was on the verge of bankrupting both of the Twins. The funny thing was, after they ran out of Monopoly money they started looking inside their trench-coats for real money. They really didn't want to loose, and Amy was getting rich.
"Advance to Mayfair" Two read aloud. He looked angrily at Amy who just smiled sweetly back at them.
"Hi" she waved, then she picked up the dark blue card and read from it. "Rent with hotel, two thousand pounds." She looked up at Two. Her smile faded as she saw him reach for his switchblade. "You know you can't use them as money, right?"
"Yes" He said in a whisper.
Two threw his switchblade at Amy, she didn't move. She heard it whiz past her ear, she turned around to look at it. The tip of the blade was imbedded in the wall.
The Twin looked proud of him as Amy turned back to look at him. "That thing has been annoying me for quite a while now."
"You killed a fly?" Amy asked looking amazed. "You really are evil!" she shouted.
"I lose, now its you against One" Two said as he sat back down.
One looked afraid for a second before he regained his natural calm face.
Amy turned to One and looked at him expectedly, as if he was going to quit, there and then. Instead he picked up the dice and threw them across the board.
"Four. Chance." He said as he lifted up a card.
"How the hell did you manage to go from Community chest to chance?" Amy asked, looking a little bit frustrated. That was her favourite thing to do, to get a card. You never knew what was going to happen.
"Speeding fine. Fifteen pounds" He said as he sank into the couch. "You.Win.Congratulations."
"I win, I win, I win, I win, I win, I win, I win, I win, I win, I win, I win, I win, I win." Amy said as she got up to bounce on the bed.
Boing, boing, boing, boing, boing . . .
"Shouldn't we stop her?" Two asked. He looked at one and frowned. One's eyes were going grey blue.
"One, what's wrong?" Two said. One replied slowly "The brat has our sunglasses." He said as he watched Amy go up and down on the bed.
Boing, boing, boing . . . Amy continued jumping.
"Why don't you just phase?" Two asked his Twin. "Jeez does that kid have some energy . . ."
"One got up from the couch and phased. New sunglasses appeared on his white face, standing out like a black dog in a snow storm (AN: My friend made this joke offhandedly "What if you were walking around with the Twins in the snow, if one of them fell over, you'd never be able to find him again unless he said something". Lol! Full credit goes to her .)
"Amy you hyper maniac bitch with bad breath and a loser winning streak, I bet you my trench-coat you cant keep quiet for half an hour" One said while trying to keep a straight face.
"I win, I win I-WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!!, wait , your trench-coat , seriously ?" Amy asked. Two nodded his head.
"Bet's on!" She said and stopped jumping on the bed; she forward flipped into the air over One, turned to the wall and pulled the switchblade out of the wall.
The Twins didn't look too happy about this, especially Two who owned the blade.
Amy threw it at the light switch. It spun in the air and made contact with the switch. She had thrown it light enough that it didn't go into the wall, it just hit it. The light went on. (AN: This is one of those lights that you can dim and switch on and off, in-case any evil people wanted to moan at me. Now you know)
Amy turned back to the Twins and smiled. The Twins smirked.
She went to the table where she picked up some paper and a pen and wrote something. She then held it up for the Twins to read.
"Gonna shower. Stay here or die" Two read. "What if you run out of towels?" He asked.
"Don't even go there" One read from the new piece of paper that Amy was holding up.
She walked into the bathroom and closed and locked the door. On the other side she laughed quietly and said in a whisper "I hope he doesn't mind not having a trench-coat".

Kit was sitting in her cabin on her bed, humming Nickelback, Sunny side up and thinking about the Twins.
It was cold on the ship, in her room; she shivered and put on another ragged jumper. She looked up quickly when she heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" She asked. Looking around she grabbed an old, beat-up book lying next to her bed. She put it on her lap and pretended to read it.
"It's Trinity, may I come in?" Trinity asked on the other side of the door. She had to talk to Kit about something she thought important.
"Sure, come in, sit down, have an invisible cappuccino." Kit said sarcastically. She lifted up the book and looked at it. The book was upside down; she flipped it up the right way just as Trinity walked in. She didn't see, thankfully.
"I want to talk to you about something, okay?" Trinity asked kindly. Kit realised that she was trying to sound, if not 'motherly' then 'sisterly'.
"Go ahead, there's nothing better to do" Kit said and looked down at the book. She closed it and then looked up into Trinity's face.
"Don't get too attached to those Twins. You know that if the Merovingian doesn't keep good on his promise, he's going to try to kill us for taking the Key-maker, just like in the film-" She was cut off by Kit.
"It's too late, they're my friends now, tell Morpheus he's not allowed to hurt them. If they get blown up or something they might blame me. That'd ruin our friendship a bit." Kit said.
"They aren't just cool Kit. They are deadly assassins, you know that, and Morpheus and I may have to fight them. Maybe even Neo" Trinity explained to Kit.
"I don't care. I don't want you to hurt them." Kit tried to protect her new friends. She knew that no matter how good they were they couldn't stand up to Neo.
"You don't have feelings for them, do you? I mean, past friends." Trinity asked worriedly.
"And if I did?" Kit asked angrily. She didn't want to be angry with Trinity because that would make her angry with herself.
"If you did then there would be a serious problem Kit, and you know it!" Trinity said, matching Kit's tone.
"What's it got to do with you? Jeez, just cuz they're programmes, and slightly older than me, and stuck in the Matrix, and there's two of them . . ." Kit said. She was very angry.
"It has everything to do with me! You just listed your major problems and you could end whatever relationship you have with just one of those problems. You have to be crazy!" Trinity tried not to shout she didn't want to alert the rest of the crew.
"Listen, I'm not just a stupid teenager with an even more stupid crush! I liked them in the Matrix Reloaded movie and I like them even more now. I was actually happy when they hit me with their car!" Kit shouted at Trinity as she stood up. She was so angry that her eyes looked like they were on fire.
Trinity stood up and headed for the door. "Just make sure that you come back out of the Matrix when that programme in your blood stops running. Don't get yourself killed" She walked out of the door and closed it behind her.
"Try my best" Kit said coldly as she sat done onto her bed and shook with anger and the coldness that was the real world.
