"Trinity, talk to me."
"There's nothing to talk about."
"Stop ripping cables out of the wall and say something."
"Go get ready."
"What?"
"Go get ready. We have a lot to achieve in only a small amount of time."
"Why are you like this?"
"Like what?"
"So hard on people. So cold."
"I told you, that was the heating unit."
"Trinity stop locking me out."
"Neo, I'm scared, what else am I supposed to do?"
"What?" His eyes tried to grab hers but failed.
"I'm scared Neo. I've never dealt with a program, they might try to kill you Neo."
"They can try all they want, I'm not leaving you."
"You won't have a choice."
"Trinity, I will never leave you, understand? Never." He had turned her to him.
"I wish I could believe that Neo, but you're not immortal. One day something will take you away."
"No. I won't let anything happen to you." She frowned.
"I wasn't talking about me, I was talking about you."
"It doesn't matter. I'll never leave you."
"And I'm never letting you go." Her smile was slightly confused.
"You'll be with me in there?"
"You need to ask?"
"No, but I'd like an answer." He was teasing her.
"As long as you don't go off with any other women, I'll always be here."
"God Trin, as if I could ever consider any one else. You are everything to me."
"And you're everything to everyone."
"What am I to you?" His voice was soft, breath fluttering on her cheeks.
"My heart. Without you I couldn't be." He couldn't say the words that shimmered in his eyes as he pulled her close to seal her lips with his, couldn't make the words free themselves and enter the cold air. But she knew, beyond all doubt, that she was all he said she was and more. It no longer hurt her to think the words would never be said because that's all they were, just words. They were like the memories of Matrix lives, they didn't mean anything, they couldn't tell you who you were, only who you had been.

A/N: Sorry for the delay, I've been blocked but here's something for you to chew on until I come up with something good.
Da Buffster: You can rule the world when I get back to Dalidon, that's fine :) My friend prints off Matrix fanfiction too, I love reading them with her :) I look like medieval evil, so much fun. The program was just something to give Trinity space and a build up to another fic I'm starting soon. Just a short one though, they're much more effective ;) No! You lost the Evanescence CD? Which one? :( Didn't get the email, send it again and I hope you like this chapter. :D
SeleneZana: Glad you like, which plot line do you like best :p? I sing soprano, generally classical, but with some jazz and pop to keep things interesting. I sing Evanescence well, apparently because of my 'pure' tonality. Have fun with the guitar if/when you get it. Let me know what you think of this chapter :)
Angeline: Here's another update, and I'm sorry that people were cussing your friend, that's not very nice at all and it's not the way to make people feel welcome. Please make sure that your friend isn't put off by those evil people because I'll do my best to make her feel welcome on my stories :) Hope you liked!
Divamercury: I do feel better, I'm having fun and I hope the muses are smiling on you :)
Cinn: My school is cold too, I hate it some days. But you get that. That list really needs to be rechecked because Neo is intelligent I tell you! :p Hope you liked this chapter!
Sci-freak GrodySpork: The Hardline is the best! Yay for knowing people! Simplicity is always the best way to build suspense, it makes people think :) I love making people think :)
