Sign Here, Here, and Here
Isis- This is going to be great! You could stay with me and stuff.
Smith- Yes, great.
Isis- You know the routine right? You go to one of those Plugging Stations, sign a bunch a forms, and yadayadayada.
Smith- Yes, I know.
Isis- So like when do you want to go?
Smith- As soon as I can. Let's just get it over with.
Isis- Good, then Wednesday? You could take off work.
Smith- . . . Fine.
I sat in my car, parked near a Station. My arms crossed, and my suite on. Why did I say, yes? I don't have to see those machines that programmed me. I don't need to go. Then why am I going? God. The Real World. Disgusting. Then why the hell am I here? I can't back out now. I told Jones and Brown. They're going to meet me out there. And Isis would never let it down. It's right there. The sooner I go the sooner it will be over. It's only three days. Then I'm back in here. And it will be over. It's simple. Then why am I not going yet?
The sun is in my eyes. I wonder if the real sun is as bright. It doesn't really matter though. Then why did I ask that?
I took out an address Isis had given me. It said Grid 05, Apartment 02, Room 404. She said that there are maps in the Real World, because of the many people that get unplugged a year. She said once I found a map it would be easy. Jones and Brown told me of these maps. They spoke that the center of the city was the busiest. And that it was a great place to find out about the city. I don't know what I will do in the Real World. I'm suppose to meet Isis an hour after I'm plugged in. It doesn't matter.
I got out of my car. Walked slowly into the Station. The building itself was large, but I heard the Plug Ins are small. I open the glass doors, feeling a little breeze. Everything looks nice, and clean. Just like any other organization. There's a woman at the desk. She looks up and smiles.
Secretary- Do you have an appointment?
Smith- Yes, Smith.
She typed my name into her computer, then she realized the name she was typing. She paused for a moment, and looked at me in disbelief. Why do humans do that? It can't be that hard to realize. She continued typing.
Secretary- Uh. . . yes here you are. Go down the hall to room S12.
I followed her directions. Humans ran by quickly. Doors went open, and programs I didn't recognized, recognized me. I turned to the room marked S12. Well here I go. I opened the door.
Inside was dark. Thick metal wires ran throughout the walls. And there were five Plug Ins at the left. A young man sat with his legs on his desk, eating some chips. He didn't even notice me. He didn't even turn his head.
Man- Name?
Smith- Yes. Agent Smith.
The man coughed a little, and quickly got up.
Man- What?
Smith- My name is Smith.
Man- The Smith? You're not my cousin trying to prank me again?
Smith- No. I am Smith.
Man- Oh my god! It's the Smith! Dude I have to call my brother! Oh my god! My name is Fox! It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Smith!
He said shaking my hand wildly.
Fox- I can't believe it!
My god. Some humans. Are they out of they're minds!
Fox- Dude, I can't believe you still wear the suite. You look so cool!
Smith- Yes.
Fox- I mean I got this summer job to meet programs. But I never thought I'd meet you!
Smith- Yes it is truly a miracle. Now can we get this over with?
Fox- Oh yeah sure! Anything for you, man. Right this way.
He led me to the desk, where I saw his computer. It said on the Woman In the Red Dress. There was a picture of her. Where does that ring a bell? Doesn't matter.
Fox- Yeah so I got get your access code and then we can sign some stuff, and I need some of your info. Alright, access code?
Smith- 10110000101
Fox- OK, that checks out, ID.
I handed him my Driver's license.
Fox- Nice pic, man. Ok. Here read this.
He handed me a little brochure that said "The Real World Rules." *sigh*
Smith- Do I have to?
Fox- Sorry Mr. Smith.
I sat down for a moment reading the damn thing. All it was, was a little kiddy program, saying what we can a can't do. Just a waste of my time.
Fox- Ok. Here.
It was a large contract.
Fox- Sign here, here, and here. Oh and initials here.
I signed them all.
Fox- Ok, now here take this.
He handed me a red pill.
Fox- It gives your programming a temporary plug, so we can you know.
I swallowed it. And I felt a tingling sensation, as a plug appeared on the back of my neck. I reached over and touched it. It was a strange thing. I felt a little weird touching it.
Fox- Cool huh?
Smith- Uh, yes. Cool.
Fox- Ok, now sit here, dude. Lay back. This may feel a little weird. Oh and when you get on the other side, say hi to my bro, Wolf. He'll be the guy that greets you.
I was going it'd be a few more seconds and I would leave here. Leave this place. I was going to go to the- - -
