Disclaimer: I don't own the Matrix. Happy now?
Review answering!
Agent Josey: Yes, more is forthcoming. Muahahaha!
Lady of Mirkwood: Thankies. Yes, Gollum's lines do work well there, don't they? Heh.
Megami no Inazumi: That's because you didn't read it. I just told you what happened.
Search4Truth: NETHERCUBE!!! Thanks for the compliments. ^_^
Alocin: Yes, that was the point.
*Dodges flying objects* Okay! The last chapter wasn't that bad, I guess. Anyway, Smith was mean and laid a trap for Trinity, Switch, and One. However, only Switch was captured, and the chapter ended with some rambling. Chapter 11 was brought to you by Really, Really Long School Bus Trips 'R Us; "Learn just how many games you and your friend(s) can come up with on a 3+ hour bus ride!"
Chapter 11: Bored
Girl, Two, and Switch are all sitting inside the white blankness of the NetherCube, silently being bored.
Girl: *suddenly stands up and waves arms around* I can't stand the silence any longer! We have to do something or I'll go crazy!
Switch: Like what, pray tell? Smash into the walls again?
Girl: No, you idiot! Not something to try and escape; something interesting to do! Two, do you still have those cards?
Two: No, we left them back at the Merovingian's mansion.
Girl: Drat. *thinks* I Spy?
Switch: No.
Girl: Why not?
Switch (sarcastically): Oh, I don't know, let's see…I spy something white.
Girl: Oh, yeah. *more thinking* Ooooo! I know! We can play Minister's Cat! That game lasts forever if you play it right!
Switch: I have never heard of that game before in my life.
Two: Neither have we.
Girl: It's simple. Think of an adjective that starts with 'A', and then put it in the phrase, 'The Minister's cat is a blank cat'. Then Two would go, and then Switch, and then back to me. When nobody can think of any more adjectives for that letter, we go on to the next one. I'll start. The Minister's cat is an alley cat. Now it's Two's turn.
Two: The Minister's cat is…ummm…an Agent cat!
Switch: The Minister's cat is an artistic cat.
20 Minutes Later…
Girl: The Minister's cat is…hang on…I know there's something else…ummm…I know! An antisocial cat!
Two: Well, then the Minister's cat is an anti-war cat.
Switch: And the Minister's cat is an anti-peace cat!
1 Hour Later…
Switch: The Minister's cat is an anti-cat cat!
Girl: Okay, no more 'anti's. On to B! The Minister's cat is a black cat.
Two: The Minister's cat is a brown cat.
Switch: The minister's cat is a blue cat.
DVS (Disembodied Voice of Smelrond): Hey, can I play?
Girl, Two, and Switch (simultaneously): NO!!!
DVS: Why not?
Switch: You have to ask?
DVS: Just answer the question!
Girl: Because we hate you. Go away. *turns back to Two and Switch* The Minister's cat is a bad cat.
Two: The Minister's cat is a bruised cat.
DVS: *grumble snarl grumble* I hate being ignored…
Girl: Serves you right for putting us in this bloody cube with nothing to do. The Minister's cat is a beaten-up cat.
DVS: But I'm good at word games!
Two: Dammit, go away! The Minister's cat is a broken cat.
Switch: The Minister's cat is a bloody cat.
The adjectives during the Bs grew steadily more violent until Smelrond grudgingly retreated. However, he made several other tries to join in during the letters H, M, S, and X. He was ignored, and when at last, after a full 10 hours, the small group could not think of another adjective beginning with Z, they pondered for a while over what to do next. However, we will run around with Trinity and One during that bit, as it is rather boring.
Back to Trinity and One:
One: Now how will we rescue us? He's really good at predicting our every move!
Trinity: Then we have to think of something that he wouldn't expect us to think of.
One: How the heck are we going to think of something that we would never think of?
Trinity: Hmmm…who are we almost the exact opposite of?
One & Trinity (simultaneously): *turn heads to face each other* Her.
Trinity: Okay, what's something she would think of?
One: Something insane that makes no sense to anyone but her, but will actually work without a doubt, good-at-predicting-our-every-move or not. Especially since it is in no possible way predictable. That's the sort of plan she would think of.
Trinity: Okay, we're going to have to be random now, but how? Hmmm… *ponders, then with no warning, snaps head up and yells at One* Say something!
One: Huh? Uh…dental floss!
Trinity: Good, good, that's nice and random. Now you do the same to me. Yell 'say something' after a bit. *closes eyes and clears mind*
One: *waits* Say something!
Trinity: Flying hamsters! Whoa…did that actually come out of my mouth? That's good, anyway. *waits* Say something!
One: Lightsaber! *waits* Say something!
Trinity: Pocky! *waits* Say something!
One: Rainbow glitter!
This went on for while, but we're not going into that now. You have to wait until the next chapter to see all of the random stuff they came up with. But anyway, time to go back to our NetherCube group, as they have decided to simply make fun of Smelrond, and we don't want to miss that, now do we?
Inside the NetherCube…
Girl: Oh, I know so much incriminating stuff about him…this is gonna be fun. *evil grin*
DVS: Hey!
Switch: Shut up. *turns to Girl* Tell us!
Girl: Well, first I'll tell you about the Smelrond thing. See, he is obviously Elrond's long lost twin brother.
Two: Who's Elrond?
Girl: Well, in Lord of the Rings…
Two: We don't know what that is either.
Girl: It's a really good trilogy of books. And a really good trilogy of movies, too. Anywho, Elrond is basically the ruler of the Rivendell *sees Two's confused expression*, which is an elf town by a waterfall. Elrond is an elf, by the way. And in the movies, he is seriously Smelrond's twin. Not like you two Twins, but they have the same face, same voice, and same stupid temperament; but Elrond has really long brown hair and wears a cool flow-y robe and is an elf, not an Agent. So you see? Agent Smelrond, get it?
DVS: Oh. I had been wondering about that…
Switch: Who asked you? Go away.
Two: What else do you know?
Girl: I know that his laugh is so horrible that it can put the people who hear it into long-lasting hysterics.
Switch: Long-lasting? How long?
Girl: About a month of random ear-clutching combined with screams and whimpers.
Two: That bad?
Girl: Yep.
Switch: So, anything else?
Girl: I know that he's an egotistical jerk, but everyone already knows that.
Two: If anyone with knowledge of the Matrix doesn't, they really ought to crawl out from beneath the large rock they've been hiding under.
Girl (thinking): I still have no clue what this Matrix thing is. I remember when the Agents asked me what I knew about it…and I said 42…and they kept saying 'resistance is futile'…over and over…until my head burst into flame…and then…*end thinking* You know how Smelrond's all like, 'I'm so fast you can't hit me' and all that junk?
DVS: You're not really going to tell them about that are you?
Girl: Shut up and go away, Smelrond. Anyway, this was when he was interrogating me for the first time, and he kept saying 'Resistance is futile' over and over and over, which made me really mad, so I told him I was going to whomp him if he didn't cut it out. Well, he just said it again anyway, so I made like I was about to punch him, and then I kicked him from under the table while he was watching my arm. Know what he said then? He said 'Ow not fair'.
DVS: It was a fluke! A bloody fluke I tell you!
Switch (laughing so hard she can barely talk): You…kicked…under…table…and…he…ow…not…fair…*completely dissolves into hysterical laughter*
DVS: Grrr…I'll get you for that…
Girl: Whatever, Smelrond.
~~~
A/N: All I have to say to you is that you haven't seen random insanity until you see the plan Trinity and One come up with. That is going to be fun.
