Cinn: Terrible thing boredom. Well, at least I have fanfics to write. This is a sort-of carry-on from Past and Present. Sort-of, it just takes that idea and I sorta carry it on from where the first film left off. By the way if you're thinking of it as a carry-on, the last chappie of Past and Present doesn't exist for this fic. Oh well please read...

Aftermath,

When squiddies attack, what's left? Trinity's p.o.v.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke, the first thing I saw was the huge hole in the roof. God those squiddies did some damage yesterday. Bl**dy sentinels and their destructive programming.

I pulled on my sweater and trousers and headed off to the mess hall. It shocked me to see you up so soon. I expected you to be resting at least, I mean you did DIE yesterday.

" Hi. "

" Hi. "

I got some goop and sat opposite him, we both had a lot to think about, especially me. I'd told him everything, but he'd been dead. Did he know what I'd told him, or not?

" Was that true? "

" Was what true? "

" What you told me, when I.. Well I think I was dead at the time. Seams weird to be able to say that and have it being true... "

" Um. "

" Trinity.. "

" What? ~ I don't want my heart breaking in two, I don't want to have to tell you again for you to know. ~ "

" Was it true? Do you really love me? "

" Yes. If you don't feel the same I can live with it... "

" H*ll don't I feel the same. How can I not? "

" You do? "

" Yeah, I do love you too. "

I couldn't help but grin before leaning over the table to kiss him. We kissed for quite a while, I don't know how long though.

4 hours later,

This MIGHT take a while to fix. The whole panels been blown up, circuitry 'n' all. Have to make the whole thing again from scratch... B*gg*r all is what I think about that. Stupid bl**dy repairs, so boring and annoying.

He arrived, and appears to be watching with interest as to how this is done.

" Lemme guess. The teaching on this was described as major boring sh*t? "

" Yeah, how'd you guess? "

" I was told the same. C'mon, you might as well know how to do this. "

I led him to the core and slid the jack into his neck plug. He winced a little, but it hurts a bit each time. I headed over to where the disks lay discarded and we went through all 3 pretty quickly.

" Sorted. "

I went to remove the plug, he appeared to be in pain as he sat up.

" You alright? "

" Yeah, probably just one of the after effects of dying. "

" Probably. But I still think you should be resting. "

" Nah, I'll be fine. "

" What's wrong? " Morpheus asked, entering.

" I'm fine. "

" Yeah, sure you are Neo. If your fine how come you're wincing in pain? "

" Neo, you should be resting, I have to agree with Trinity. "

" I wanna help, I know how. "

" Out of the question, we can't have the main person of the resistance dying from something that can be avoided. "

" Fine. "

" You're becoming as argutive as myself. Must have taught you well. "

" Huh? " he asked as I helped him stand.

" You know, at school 'n' everything. You do remember me don't you? "

He looked at me as if I was off my head, but we headed towards his quarters anyways, and I started to explain.

" You remember someone called Zoë don't you? "

" Couldn't forget her. And how do you know? "

" I was Zoë. "

" Holy sh*t! " he almost fell over despite the fact I was holding him up. " You were Zoë? "

" Yes, I thought you recognised me. In the club. "

" I thought I did, but I think I was more suprised I'd met the person who cracked the IRSD-base. "

" Oh, well at least you know now. "

" Yeah. "

I opened the door to his quarters and lead him to his bunk. He was in bit of pain, but he looked to be alright once he was laid down.

" Can you stay? "

" No, I'll come by later though... We need to sort the ship out as quickly as possible... "

" Suppose. "

I left, must be weird dying though...

Cinn: RRiigghhtt, I went even MORE mad than I already am. What do you think? You readers did always nag for longer chappies, so you better be reading this. Review, and there'll be more.
