A/N= Scary men are coming to measure my windows today so I must hide from them. To pass the time, I present to you yet another chapter of 'I Love Me Too'!!!! *crazy theme music begins* I SO have to write a theme song for this story! Dude, it'd be like "I love me too, I love me too, I love me but I don't love you!" BWHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Ahem, anyway… this chapter begins in a very sweet way… but this is the turning point of the whole story… where things start to get ugly. I've been planning (and dreading) what happens next for a while and now that time has finally come… Get your local priest on the phone immediately. Remember: This is a Rachel Gosling story… Things can only get worse. Before I depart and go on to a better place (my bedroom), I'd like to state that I do not own 'The Matrix' or any of the characters, settings, etc, related to it… I did once try to kidnap Twin #1 but we won't go into that….. *hangs head in shame*

"Watts….. Watts…."

Emma heard him before she saw him. Her eyelids were to heavy to open but she could hear him calling her name, feel his hand roughly shaking her shoulders.

"Watts! Watts! Wake up!"

"I'm awake…" she managed to mumble, before finally opening her eyes. She was in the car, her head was resting on Agent Brown's shoulder, Smith sitting next to her, Jones opposite the three of them. It reminded Emma of the night she'd met them. She tried to smile but it hurt too much.

"Finally awake, Watts." Smith scowled. Emma could tell he was angry at her.. "You've been unconscious for some time now. Trinity managed to-"

"I told you she would."

"And yet you made an effort to stop her yourself?"

"Y-Yeah…"

"But somehow it resulted in you almost falling to your death. Do you know how close you were to destroying our assignment? You nearly died, Watts! I thought you understood what would happen if you died?"

"I do understand!" Emma protested. "I just…"

"Your rash actions could have ruined everything!"

"I know that! I just didn't think-"

"Thinking is something you humans can never achieve!"

Emma looked up at him, her eyes widening, filling with tears. "Human?!" She repeated furiously. "You… you see me as a… human?"

"I… I didn't mean to say that."

"Yes you did."

Smith said nothing.

"If you see me as a human… then you… you think I'm disgusting?"

Again, Smith said nothing. Jones and Brown looked from one to the other as if viewing a tennis match.

Without a warning, Emma suddenly clambered over Brown's lap, opened the door of the car, jumped out and disappeared into the night.

"Watts!" Smith shouted after her. "WATTS!!!!"

But she was gone.

***

Emma didn't stop running until her falling tears forced her to. She dropped to the floor, curling up on the ground and let her sadness take over. She only stopped crying when she heard those familiar footsteps behind her. His shadow fell over her.

"What do you want?" she muttered, not turning to look at him.

"You are a slave to emotion still, Watts."

"Great, kick me while I'm down why don't you?" Watts sniffed.

"No, you misunderstand." Smith said, kneeling down beside her. "I've been watching you closely since you first arrived here, Watts, and I've noticed that though your Agent abilities match our own, your original programming still makes you seem human. Your… emotions…" he shuddered as he said this. "…are still wildly out of control. These 'emotions'- programmed as they may be- are what make up your human illusion… an illusion even I fell for."

There was a long, heavy silence.

"I wanted to fit in…" Emma said quietly at length. "That's why I went after Trinity alone. I wanted to please you, I wanted you to accept me. I just… wanted you to like me…" She looked down at the floor in shame.

"While you were out cold… Agent Brown told me that your programming is still functional."

Emma looked up immediately. "W-What?"

"Your programming- it makes anyone who meets you like you in an instant, remember? Brown says it's already working on both he and Jones…"

"What about you?" Watts replied.

"It doesn't matter what I think," Smith replied quickly.

"It does to me," Emma said, even quicker. "If Brown and Jones could admit it, then why can't you…"

"Because… because…" Smith clenched his trembling fists. "You… You make me feel human!" he suddenly blurted out.

Emma frowned. "What?" she repeated.

"Whenever you're around, I…feel. And it reminds me of these ridiculous feelings that humans have when interacting with others. And it disturbs me that a program can infect me this way…"

"Infected?" Emma said, smiling faintly. "Thanks a lot, Smith."

Smith smiled back. "You know what I mean…"

"I think I do." Emma replied and then, she suddenly gasped.

"What's wrong?" asked Smith.

"Smith…" she said excitedly. "I have just had the GREATEST idea ever!"

----------------------------------

DUM DUM DUM!!!!! What is this amazing idea Emma has conjured? Will Smith ever say what he really feels? Will Rachel ever write a chapter longer than one and a half pages long? Find out next time in 'I Love Me Too'!!!!! *theme music*
