Hey I'm sorry I haven't updated in awhile. Had a lot on my plate what with exams and all the spiel that goes with them along with some writers block. I'll stop making excuses now and you can read the thing.

Lightning POV

Bloody lights. They woke me up too early this morning. I've been lying here for about ten minutes I think, I'd better get up. I stretch, bump my head on the wall and curse. I finally get out of bed and pull on both of the jumpers I find and my boots. Why is it freezing? I walk out wrapping my arms around myself and someone puts something on my head and down over my eyes. I wrench the thing up and spin round ready to punch whoever's lights out it was that did that. Tank steps back quickly.

"Remind me never to give you anything again" he says then laughs "It isn't going to hurt you. Look" he takes the thing off my head. It's a hat; black with three red stripes and one blue it's fairly thick and warm. "Since you had such a taste for my hat" he says I just glare at him "I thought I'd give you this I found it at the bottom of my bag must have picked it up in Zion" I smile.

"Thanks Tank this is really great" I put the hat on and down over my eyes then pull a rapper like pose.

"What the hell are you doing?" he asks laughing at me. I must admit I probably would to if I could see myself.

"A rapper" I say "Come on you have to…" he looks at me "Not know because you were born here right ok well thank you anyway. It'll keep me warm"

"And now I can steal your hat too"

"No nuh uh" I hold onto it as he tries to grab it "I'll make you a deal we leave each others hats alone. Ok?" I hold out my hand he shakes it.

"Yep"

"I don't even know why I suggested that I didn't even steal your hat in the first place" I walk away and he tries to grab my hat but I duck and spin round "Hey remember the deal. Ok, ok calm down" I say and he walks past me. I follow him into the mess hall where Morpheus is already sitting. He's quietly eating and Tank starts up a lively conversation about what we they are going to do to me today. He's getting several evil glares from me at some comments. After we've all finished Morpheus asks

"Where are Neo and Trinity?" then he looks at me.

"I'll go find them seeing as they not likely to kill me" I say and Tank laughs into his gloop "What?" I say "They would definitely kill you"

"I see your point" he shoos me out "Well go and get them then"

"Alright, alright" I say walking out pulling the hat on as I go towards the sleeping quarters. I whistle slightly through my teeth as I knock on Neo's door. After a minute of knocking fairly loudly I open the door to find an empty bed which hadn't been slept in.

"Well, well" I'm back to talking to myself again "I almost don't want to go to find them now" I walk over to Trinity's door and knock loudly.

Neo POV

I woke with a start, jolted awake by someone knocking on the door. What the hell is going on I never oversleep? I try to get up. I can't move my arm then I look down. Trin, she's really there curled up on my arm since I had tried to move away she's turned over and is pressed up against me.

"Trin" I whisper to her "Trin wake up"

"Neo?" she says sleepily and opens two bleary blue eyes

"Yes it's me Trin" I say and kiss her forehead then nose

"I'm glad you're here" she says reaching up to touch my face gently. I smile and prop myself up on one elbow.

"We should get up" I sat after a minute timed exactly with the fierce knocking on the door that made us both jump.

"I'll count to five and if I here no response I'm coming in" came Lightning's voice from outside "1…2…."

"We're in here" Trinity calls out quickly "You can come in Lightning" what's she doing I didn't really want her little sister to see us like this although we didn't have anything to hide. She cautiously opens the door with her hand over her eyes. I laugh at her as she asks if it's safe to look or not.

"Yes it is you really over dramatic" Trin says as Lightning takes her hand away from her eyes. She sees us in the bed and smiles for some reason.

"Well I didn't want a repeat of my 'dream' or at least that is what I think it is last night." I see the colour rise in Trinity's cheeks "Ha! It wasn't a dream jeeze please do that in your own room"

"Ok, ok. Now go away before I have to start tickling you" She runs out closing the door behind her. We look at each other for a minute again and then there is another knock at the door.

"Uh Morpheus says you have to get up and I am allowed to use force though what he expects me to do I have no idea" Lightning's voice drifted through the door.

"We are up" says Trinity getting up. I get up behind her.

"Good, good" she says and I can hear her whistling as she walks off.

We get up and dressed. I watch Trin closely and I can feel her doing the same to me. We walk out together. While Trin has a bowl of slop, I grab some water then wander into the core leaving her to talk with Morpheus. I see Tank and Lightning playing around. It looks like Lightning is teaching Tank how to rap but I'm not really sure. I walk over to them anyway.

"What are you two doing?"

"I'm trying to tell him what rap is but he won't take me seriously" Lightning says turning to me.

"She isn't joking Tank" I never really followed music when I was inside but I knew what rap was. I didn't really like though. "You like rap then?"

"Nah the twins did I was made to listen to it on the way back from…places used to send me to sleep"

"To sleep" Rap and sleep don't go together in my book "Are we thinking about the same thing? Rap isn't soporific Lightning."

"I know but I just did" She shrugs then walks over to Trin as she walks in with Morpheus and they begin to talk to her. I turn to Tank.

"You've taken a shine to her haven't you" he looks at me weirdly "I mean in a younger sibling type way"

"She's a good kid reminds me a bit of me. She's more feisty though"

I hear Morpheus say "We're going to do fighting today" Tank smiles wickedly at Lightning.

"That is a good thing right" she says nervously after seeing Tank's expression.

"Yes it is" says Trin "Then you get to fight me"

"Oh wonderful" Lightning sighs. Trin laughs then they got it up and running.

She has been training for 8 hours with me working on the chair next to her. Tank calls for Trin over the speaker system fight her as he thinks she's ready.
