Chapter 4:

Summary: Now we are arrived at Zion, Neo is running away from his groupies and Trinity is talking with Switch about the complicated situation ....PLEASE R&R, you'll make my day a lot better if you do!!!!!!

There were just a few people, waiting to welcome the whole crew, some family and friends. But for Neo there were a lot of people with presents to please him to pray for their children, fighting in war against the machines. And there were groupies, a lot of groupies, nearly 20 teenage girls with bears and little love-letters in their hands, whispering, giggling and adoring. Maybe Neo was the One, but he really was afraid of them, he wasn't used to be admired, they would cut him down or something else. He had to spend all of his time with them, what if they wouldn't leave him alone once, also sleeping in front of his door?But what about Trinity? He wanted to spend his free time with here....

On the spot he laid one arm on Trinity's hip to draw her nearer and whispered:

" Help me."

She surprise was written all about her face and she raised an eyebrow:

" What?"

" C'mon. Do you see? You were right about the groupies, they will never leave me alone again. They will scream and follow me everywhere....So please, help me."

Trinity smiled:

" All right."

She took his hand and pulled him through the crowd without looking around . As usual there was no one waiting for her, no family, lover or something like that. So she was glad to have a reason to disappear immediately without having t watch the others happily joining with their lovers again.

The girls were unsure who to react, should they follow him? What was about Trinity?Was she his girlfriend?

Neo and Trinity were walking fast, but not running, Neo had no time to work up all the impressions of the last human city, but was overwhelmed by it. They passed several small and difficult alleys, sometimes their body's were touching by chance and Trinity held his hand not to loose him. But they were successful in getting rid of the groupies, first they really followed them obstinately but Trinity's course was very clever, so the girls loosed their path after some minutes.

Trinity suddenly stopped and Neo bumped into her body.

" What is it?"

"We're there."

" Where?"

She pulled out a Chip- Card out of her pocket and gave it to him:

" That's your room."

" Well... I don't know how to thank you."

" Doesn't matter. But once you will be confronted with them."

" I fear...."

" I've to go now to get ready."

" Get ready...?"

" I thought you don't want to join us. Didn't Cypher talk to you? Morpheus said to him he should. This afternoon we're going to meet in the matrix, one of the best clubs of Zion. Nice name, uh?"

" Neo, he didn't say anything to me."

" Well, I suppose he forgot it. If you want to come with us, I can fetch you at 9 p.m. It would be a good occasion to make some important connections."

I swear, Cypher didn't forget it, but didn't want Neo to join us. Of course he's jealous like hell....

" That would be great."

In a club in Zion together with Trinity, what could be better? But why didn't cypher say anything to me? I know he doesn't likes me and feels more than friendship for her, do I have a chance against him?Maybe I will find out tonight.

" But Neo, I have to warn you, there will be a lot of groupies and you will to get finished them all one."

With a ironic blink she left him back going to her own room, just a few doors away.

One hour later Trinity spread out all her clothes onto her bed, not knowing what to wear, until it knocked at her door. Without waiting for her response Switch walked into Trinity's room, smiling and with a blouse n her hand.

"I assumed you maybe don't know what to wear..."

" How did you get that idea?"

"Well I saw Neo and you just now, running away from the ship and holding hands...."

" That was nothing."

" But it didn't look like nothing."

" Well, he isn't used to the girls adoring him, I helped him to get to his room alive. I was just doing him a favor."

She knows that I'm lying, shit, she knows me too damm good...

" I don't mean just that. I know you doesn't talk much about your feelings, but I know you for a long time now. You're behaving different...especially in his company."

" I don't know what you mean Switch."

She really caught me....I can't lie her anymore.....

" O please Trinity. I can see it in your eyes, he's really important for you and you believe in him, now. But why are you that cold to him? You are avoiding talking to him in the last days, the atmosphere between you is full of tension. Neo doesn't dare to talk to you in fear of saying something wrong and annoying you. What the hell did happen?The whole crew knows that there's happened something, but no one wants to ask."

Trinity sighed and sat down on her bed, letting her hands fall onto her knees:

" Yeah, you're right. There happened something, but he doesn't remember or don't wants to."

" What?"

" That's a long story..."

" I've time to listen. C'mon, I'm your best friend for 10 years now, don't you trust me? "

Switch is right, why shouldn't I trust her?She is my friend since I'm here...I wouldn't#t be fair not to tell her...

"It was really weird from the beginning...I've done my weldings and Neo wanted to help me, because he couldn't sleep..."

"As usual."

"What do you mean?"

"Oh please, when you're on your shift, he's always there. When you are a little late he's already waiting to spend he time with you through some flimsy reasons."

" I never thought that it was purpose when he...."

" I know, he was some kind of hiding it and nobody said something, although they knew it. Even Cypher wasn't trying to provoke trouble... but now tell me what's happened."

" Well, Cypher brought me some water, very nice from him, obviously too nice, but I was too thirsty to think about it. I've given some of the water to a friend in the scientist labs he promised me to reconsider it, i just want to be sure, that he didn't plan that evening, but I don't believe he thought it would proceed like that. He seemed surprised to find Neo at my side, even angry...but he's also angry of him, he doesn't like him and either believe in the prophecy."

I didn't believe , too...but it changed when I met neo for the first time..Cypher lost his only support in his opinion....

" And why do you believe now?"

"Well I....I don't know... do you want to hear it or not?"

" Yeah...go on."

"After a few minutes I felt really weird, as if I had made party a whole night in the clubs of Zion....I think there was some alcohol in the water, because neo also seemed really drunken, he wasn't even able to stay on his own feet."

" But alcohol of Zion on the ships is absolutely forbidden."

" I know and Cypher also knows it, but I think he is able to do it."

" Oh yeah, he would to everything to get you into his bed."

" Switch."

" What? It's even getting worse?"

" Well, we played cards..."

" Isn't very unusual.."

" But Strip- Poker is..."

" You've done WHAT?"

Switch's jaw was obviously fallen down, she didn't believe what she heard.

" I know I don't believe it either...Neo and me were sitting there in our underwear and were kidding like kids."

" I believe I won't hear the rest of the story... there are already some fatal pictures in my head. It does happen even more?"

Trinity sighed:

" It really isn't easy for me to talk about it..."

After standing the whole time with her back leaned at the door Switch was sitting down next to Trinity, taking her hands, squeezing them gently to cheer her up.

" We're for 3 years now on the same ship. We were always good friends, you can really tell me everything. I will always be there for you and you will feel better. "

Without waiting for permission Switch took her in her arms, stroking her back to calm her down. First trinity's muscles were tensing, she wasn't used to such signs of friendship and after some minutes she started talking again:

" I already told you that Neo wasn't able to walk and cypher wanted to kiss me...crazy bastard...he really believed he just needs some alcohol to convince me...but in that situation I didn't suppose that it was alcohol, but tiredness and exhaustion. So, I wanted to bring Neo into his room, but there was nothing i could do when he walked into mine without waking the whole ship and I was too tired to protest. I did let him sleep in my bed, but he wanted me to join him, because there was enough space for two and the floor was obviously too cold to sleep on it.

Our#re bodies were touching and after a short time we were kissing and he said that he loves me...I didn't believe it but when I wanted to ask if it is true he was already fallen asleep."

" But where's the problem?"

" The next morning, when we were awakened he asked me what was happened, if he doesn't lie he really isn't remembering what he has said or done."

" Ok...THAT'S complicated. Do you believe he lies?"

" No...Yes...maybe...I don't know... I don't know what to do Switch..."

I know he#s the One, the Oracle told me I would fall in love with the One and I am. I always tried to suppress my emotions, pushing them to the darkest corner of my mind, I fell if i can't handle the situation without loosing my strength. For 10 years I wanted to believe feelings are a weakness...

Switch was squeezing her hands again:

" C'mon. Everything will be ok. Don't worry about it, Neo is a nice guy, but very shy, just be yourself and a little bit friendlier to him. Just send a few signals and he will make the first move. I know that he really likes you...give him a chance...and now let's decide what you will wear."

Trinity smiled slightly, she felt better, it was good to have such a friend like Switch, who was listening and felt with her. Finally, after some discussion Trinity was dressed in a blouse and a trouser, fully in black. Switch wanted to wear her something more striking and bold, but she didn't want to be that obvious and she wanted to feel good in her clothes. Just her hairs weren't open as usual, but tied on her head, just a few locks were falling onto her forehead.

On time, at 9 p.m. she as standing in front of Neo's door to take him with her to the " Matrix."

Author's note:

What do you think about it? In the next chapter Trinity will finally meet her old friend and neo will meet a girl called Isabel. and Trinity gets problems with her knife-wound....

I've chosen three of your suggestions for Trinity's ex- boyfriend:

1.) Dagger

2.) Ryan

3.) Kenshin ( sword heart)

You decide, how will he be called?

Nemo: Takes place short time after Neo was freed, there wasn't a betrayal from Cypher.

Misty X: I've planned to make a little dancing scene, but maybe for the second time when they are in Zion .And if Trinity loved the guy you will get to know in the next chapter...but you're right with the oracle thanks for your suggestions. And thank you for all the names, you're great!!

And just one more question, is my English quite understandable?
