Chapter 5

Back at the agency, Smith and Neo stood facing each other. Smith still looked confused by this strange man standing before him.

"Now I know this looks too good to be true." Neo told him. "But I am here to help you get to the ball."

Neo walked around Smith and inspected him looking at his dusty and wrinkled Armani suit.

"And by the way Smith, there is no way in hell you're going dressed like that." Neo told him.

"Well I really have nothing to wear." Smith told him.

Neo twitched his nose and before the agent could speak he was dressed in the finest Versace tuxedo complete with tails.

"Now you do." Neo told him.

Smith turned around and saw the tux he was wearing. His was bow tie was black with a matching vest.

"Hmmm ... I think the tie has got to go." Neo said.

Neo twitched his nose one more time and replaced the tie with a single black button. His collar matched the collar that Neo had on his jacket, only his was in white.

"Much better." Neo said. "Now for some bodyguards."

Out of the corner of his eye, Neo spied two small grey mice, he summoned them to his feet and with another twitch of his nose, the two mice grew and morphed into grown men wearing identical dark suits and shades. Both wore earpieces.

"Now for you ride." Neo said

With another nose twitch, the four of them popped up in the garage. Neo spied and old broken down moped. He did his nose thing and it was transformed into a black stretch limo. The mice who were now men got in front and as if by itself the back door opened.

Neo spoke again. "Oh Smith, I almost forgot something. Can you touch your right ear a second?"

Smith did as he was told, he realized he didn't have an earpiece.

"Ah that was what was missing." Neo said.

With a snap, an earpiece was magically attached to him.

"And let's loose those shades." Neo told him with a snap of his fingers.

"Much better, now the princess can see those pretty eyes of yours." Neo said.

Smith stood before him all made over and not really looking like and agent but looking more like a future prince. Smith stepped inside the limo, but before he got all the way inside. Neo called out to him.

"Oh Smith one more thing!" Neo called out.

"Uh what's that?" Smith asked him.

"You have to be back here before the clock strikes twelve or you can kiss your new make-over bye-bye! Have a good time!"

Smith got into the limo and the door shut behind him. Neo disappeared in flash of neon green light as the limo pulled out the garage and drove off into the night.
