Hey everyone. I have returned. I had some writer's block there, but now I don't anymore. I could really use some ideas so if any of you have any that would be quite helpful.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Matrix. Although I wish I did. Some of the descriptions and dialogue I took from the movie and the '96 draft of the Matrix. To see the '96 draft of the Matrix and see what I took from it, go to and to see the movie, go to blockbuster.
It took us a while to bring the ship up to broadcast depth because there was some sentinel activity we had to deal with first. God damn I hated the way we always had to deal with the sentinels. They came twice a week or so. It was really God damn annoying. By the time we finally got Trinity and Morpheus in, they were two hours late. Choi was a bit angry, but he told them he would simply blame it on his girlfriend, Dujour. Morpheus went on the computer and typed some cryptic shit to Neo. He never could simply say something to you that made any sense. Oh no! That wasn't Morpheus's style. Morpheus had to make it sound all cryptic and mysterious.
Anyway Choi and Dujour and the rest of the crew from their ship went to Neo's apartment and brought him to this club place. I watched them on the screen, like everyone else on the Nebuchadnezzar, more out of lack of anything else to do than real interest. I couldn't see clearly because there were very few lights, and smoke hung over the whole place, blurring the few lights there were. There were people all over the place, most wearing black and almost all were pierced or tattooed or both all over their body. A bunch of people were grinding. There were several pieces of furniture that cliques gathered around. It reminded me of these jungle cats I had seen on the discovery channel. (That's right, I had watched the discovery channel. It was one of the only channels I could get while I was standing guard waiting while Morpheus took one of the other people he claimed to be "the one" to see the Oracle. And I got in big trouble for it too. After Morpheus found out, he made me be the driver whenever we went into the Matrix so he could "keep an eye" on me. Boy was he mad! I can still remember the look on his face. Haha. But I'm getting away from my story.) Choi and his crew gathered around one of the couches. At first Neo stood with them, but he soon became bored and walked off. Of course, they had made him bored intentionally so he would walk off somewhere. Neo bought himself a beer, and drank some of it. Then he put it down and went over to a wall and leaned on it. He looked so out of place just standing there all alone. I almost felt bad for the guy. Trinity took this opportunity to go over to him. She was wearing super tight leather. She looked so hot! Dragula was blasting in the background. Yet, somehow they were able to talk at a normal level and hear each other just fine.
"Hello, Neo." she said.
"How do you know that name?" he asked confused. Trinity just kept her cool, calm self.
"I know a lot about you." she replied. She had taken Morpheus's cryptic style. God damn I hated that.
"Who are you?" he asked, still very confused.
"My name is Trinity." she answered him, still very calmly.
"Trinity. The Trinity? That cracked the IRS d-base?" he said, looking amazed and almost dumbfounded. All the coppertops sounded that way.
"That was a long time ago." She said. Again with the cryptic, question avoiding style.
"Jesus!" he said, still amazed, like the others. What was so special about this guy?
"What?" Trinity asked, as though she didn't know the answer.
"I just thought…you were a guy." he stumbled. He was clearly embarrassed
"Most guys do." she said.
"It was you on my computer. How did you do that?" he asked, obviously wanting to change the subject.
Trinity didn't have the time to answer his question. She needed to warn him and get out of there. She got closer to him…a lot closer. She'd never done that before. She always made a point of distancing herself from everyone else.
"What is she doing?" I asked.
"Shut up!" Apoc snapped at me. The asshole. God damn I hated the "real" world! Especially the people in it. I didn't want to have to look at his stupid face so I went to go check on Trinity's stats. Her heart rate increased about a trillion times. "What the hell?" I thought to myself. Despite this, she was still apparently being her usual calm, cryptic, question-avoiding self.
"All I can tell you now is that you're in danger. I brought you here to warn you." she said.
"Of what?" Neo asked curiously.
"They're watching you, Neo." she said.
"Who is?" he asked.
"Please just listen." she replied. She couldn't simply answer the question. Oh no!
"I know why you're here, Neo. I know what you've been doing. I know why you hardly sleep, why you live alone, and why night after night you sit at your computer."
Did she realize what she was saying? She sounded like a stalker! This wasn't like her at all. She continued in an even more cryptic way. God damn Morpheus had rubbed off on her.
"You're looking for him. I know because I was once looking for the same thing. And when he found me, he told me I wasn't really looking for him. I was looking for an answer. It's the question that drives us mad. It's the question that brought you here. You know the question just as I did."
"What is that Matrix?" he asked. He picked up faster than the others. "Doesn't matter" I thought. "He's still gonna die like all the others."
"The answer is out there, Neo. It's looking for you. And it will find you, if you want it to." she said, backing away from him. For a second, it looked like she wanted to kiss him. Then she walked away. On the way to the phone with Morpheus, she was completely silent. Then they got to the phone. Morpheus came out first (how gentlemanly, right?) She still seemed a bit odd as she stood waiting for the phone to ring again. What was it about this guy that made her act so weird? It was as though she liked him or something. "You're just imagining things." I thought. "I mean come on. This is Trinity. She's never fallen for anyone, much less some coppertop." I helped unhook her, to receive a cold stare from her. I hadn't done jack shit to her. Why did everyone hate me so much? "The sooner I get out of this place the better." I thought.
Well there you go. I hope you all liked it. Please review. The more reviews I get, the more I have to build on for the next chapter, and the faster I update. As I said before, constructive criticism is welcome. However, "you suck" does not qualify as constructive. If you think this sucks, you have two options: 1) tell me how this story sucks so I can improve it for you next chapter or 2) not read it.
