A/N: Thanks for all your reviews guys, I love you!!! I've skipped the actual unplugging of Pudsey, as I'm not so up on the process but as soon as I get the DVD I might study it and add that chapter. As it is, Pudsey is unplugged off camera. Also, the next chapter may take a while as I had it sorted and I've gone back and I've got to add bits here and pretty much re-write it and I'm also writing another fic called… Oh shit, I can't remember what it's called! Well that's not very good. I'll find out in a min and tell you at the end of this chappie, then you can go read it!

Silverrain2: Thanks for reviewing, I did wonder about having it as one chapter, but I think I liked it better this way. It makes it look as if it was a cliff hanger and I posted chappie 3 later! And I understood you perfectly. Good can mean two *nods enthusiasticly while everyone else walks away, scared* Hope you had fun on your… economics/communist/socialist discussion, it sounds, interesting.

Protectress of Dalidon: Thanks for reviewing. Yeah, there was a loss of humor, and it won't really get it back, sorry! It might get it back in the v. last chappie, but I don't think so.

 But don't stop reading just because they're not having fun. Instead, read because they're depressed! Sorry, they are good people, I love them and would never make them depressed unless it made a good story, plus, Neo so cute when he's happy *hugs Neo*.

Little Eirtae: Thank you!!! My first completely positive review! *hugs Lil Eirtae*, and I love your name, where'd you get it?

Pepsifreak: Thank-you, I'll try and stop the ship killing Neo. And, for the record, I prefer coke.

The shit approaches the fan.

Pudsey was sat at the table in the mess hall picking at the slop that had been placed in front of her. The food was really the only thing she was having trouble accepting, she easily accepted the reality of the Real World and looked on the Matrix as something evil, which honestly wasn't too hard when you had spent most of your time in it being beaten up. She was happy with the ship and it's crew, they were all friendly enough. She even had fun with the training; her sparring partner was Trinity, who seemed to accept Pudsey as a nice person.

            Link looked up from his own slop to find Pudsey just staring into hers, thinking.

"You really should eat something." He said, breaking Pudsey from her thoughts.

"What- oh yeah, right."

"It's not evil. Just food."

"I know, but really disgustingly gross food. Which could be evil."

Link laughed, "It's not, just eat it, surely you've had worse stuff?"

"Well, I've had mud covered bread a couple of times. That was gross."

"Ok, yeah, agreeing with the gross."

"But this stuff is really horrible, it makes me feel sick whenever I look at it."

"I got that at first, but it really isn't all that bad, once you get used to it. Which you will, eating this stuff for every meal."

"Oh the joy."

"If you don't eat it you'll starve."

"I know." She just kept staring glumly into it.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know. They say Sarah's been freed, right?"

"Unicorn, yeah, she's free."

"Can I talk to her, some stuff happened before you guys got me and I think I need to talk to her. Plus, I haven't seen her for five years."

"Sure, I'll talk to Morpheus. Trinity and Niobe were on the day we first got in touch with you, discussing her obsession with Pudsey bear apparently."

"Thanks." Finally, Pudsey picked up her spork and plucked up the courage to try the food. It tasted like shit.

"Hey, Trinity, can I see you in here?" Trinity looked up from her walk with Neo down to the mess hall.

"Uh, sure, why?" Trinity nodded at Neo to go on without her and walked into the core where Latch was sat at one of the screens.

"I, I really don't know how to say this but…" He trailed off.

"Latch, what is it, I can't help if I don't know what's wrong."

"No, nothing's wrong, I just need to tell you something."

"Well what is it."

"You're gonna hate me"

"So, if it's that bad I should know."

"No, I'm sorry, I can't tell you."

"Well, as your second-in-command, I'm telling you to tell me what's wrong."

"Ok well, I love you."

"What?" Trinity couldn't believe her ears. She sank down onto one of the chairs as Latch tried to explain how he'd felt like this for ages and all that shit. How could he love her? She loved Neo, and this would only cause friction between the two men. Unless it was already, she had noticed Latch giving Neo a few dirty looks every now and then but hadn't thought anything of it. How could she be so stupid? She couldn't hide it from him, he would find out sooner or later, she would be lost in thought half the time and he would get worried, ask her what was wrong. What if Neo found out and him and Latch couldn't work together anymore? One of them would have to leave the ship; you couldn't have two people on board the same ship who didn't work well together. And what if Neo tried to hurt Latch; he would surely be angry? What was she going to do, all of this caused to many problems. She sank her head into her hands and pulled her hair back from her face, staring at the floor. Latch noticed she wasn't listening and stopped.

"Are you ok Trin? I'm really sorry." She snapped out of her daze.

"Yeah, sorry, let's get down to the mess hall yeah? Just, don't mention this to anyone, we can sort it out later." She started to head out of the core, but Latch grabbed her arm, spinning her round to face him.

"Trinity…" His voice faded out as he looked at her, how could she be so beautiful? Trinity just looked at him, waiting for him to speak. But Latch didn't want to speak; instead he lent down and pressed his lips to hers. Trinity froze.

Dun dun duh!!! Tune in next week to see what happens! Sorry it's short again! R&R as always guys, I want at least five new reviews before I post the next chappie! Ooo, I can be evil- in fact I specialise in the evilness of being evil. If that made sense. Anyway, I going off topic, review, tell me what you think- good, bad, waste of time, I should eat more sprouts- whatever (and, in case you were wondering, I hate sprouts, so don't tell me to eat more as you will… something really evil will happen to you). My other story I now know is called Sure As Hell, and I've been told it's real good! Also, go read I'm Going To Hit Back, it's only got three reviews!
