| This fanfic is set between 'Game Over' and 'Icons' and is told from a higher point of view. If you know what I mean. And of course the usual. I don't own any part of ReBoot bla bla bla, It's all Mainframe Entertainment bla bla bla. I make no money off of this. Etc etc. All comments would be appreciated. Send them to honnisymonds@hotmail.com Ok now on with the story. All my love. Enzo, Frisket and AndrAIa landed in a brand new system, far from Mainframe. Like going to a new school they felt extremely alien. Enzo's eye still needed to be fixed and AndrAIa was the only hope for him yet. They looked around their new environment. "There should be a hospital around here. The system seems online." Commented Enzo clutching his eye, "Yeah. Then we can get your eye fixed." She winced. It hurt her to see him in such pain. They walked around a little and Enzo became weaker still. Finally they saw bright red icons in the shape of a cross. AndrAIa dragged the extremely weak Enzo into reception. She walked to the front counter with Enzo slumped over her shoulder. "May I help you young lady?" Asked a lady sprite with a kind and patient expression. She had yellow hair and deep purple skin, "Yeah. My friend here needs help pretty bad." "Ok luv. What's your name?" "AndrAIa." "Hi. My name is Jemima. Ok. Well you'll have to fill these out. Ohh and could you put that dog outside please?" She handed AndrAIa a form on a clipboard with a pen. AndrAIa turned to Frisket, "Outside boy." He whimpered and slumped slowly out the door and flopped down by it. She walked over to a seat and sat Enzo down in one. She sat next to him and pulled out the pen. She began reading out the questions to herself, "Ok. Patient's Name: Enzo Matrix. Age: Hmm. About the same as me, 1.0. Problem: Eye injury. Care taker/Guardian:" She paused. Dot wasn't there and there was nobody else around so she put herself down. She got up and handed the receptionist back the clip board. "Umm I don't think you class as a Care taker or Guardian. I was hoping someone more like a parent or family member like an aunt or sister." She looked sternly down at the small sprite, "Well we're far from home. We got trapped in a game. It's just me and Enzo. So in a way we take care of eachother." Jemima smiled kindly at her, "How sweet.. Ok well I'll call a doctor and if you need a place to stay let me know." AndrAIa thanked her and very quickly a tall sprite with a large white coat on came down with a wheel chair. "Well. Ok he's got massive energy loss. We'll have to get him on a transfusion quickly." Said the sprite as he moved quite fast putting Enzo in the wheelchair and taking him and AndrAIa down a long hallway. He then pulled into a room and put Enzo onto the examination table. He shook him slightly, waking Enzo up. "Hi there…. Enzo.. Ah yes. My name is Dr. Drive. Now how did you do this?" Enzo blinked a few times and searched the room for AndrAIa. Once he found her sitting in a chair he continued. "Umm.. In a game." "Ohh. Is see. Now from what I've seen here we most likely can't save your eye, but there are these new cybernetic eyes that apparently are all the rage. You can have them personalized and even hooked up to a gun. Now lets see… ah yes. All alone. How sad. Well take it that you are from out of system and all by yourself I'll do it for free and even throw in the gun if you want." Enzo looked over at AndrAIa and she smiled so he nodded and the doctor started to bustle around some draws. He pulled out one of the eyes and showed it to Enzo. It was gold. He smiled, "I like it." "Good. now what would you like on it?" "Umm I dunno." "Well how about your last name, Matrix. That sounds pretty cool. Doesn't it?" "Yeah it does. What do you think Andi?" He looked over at AndrAIa, "Looks good, Matrix." She smiled and he returned it. The doctor also smiled. He ushered AndrAIa out of the room, "How cute. Love stuck at 1.0." He commented to himself. AndrAIa walked down the hall back to reception. Jemima smiled, "So how's your boyfriend?" She asked turning towards a chair for AndrAIa to sit in next to her. AndrAIa clambered up it, "He's not my boyfriend." She remarked, "Ohh. Could of fooled me." "Nah. We're just friends." She frowned and Jemima noticed it. "But you wish it was more?" She asked with a sad but compassionate smile. AndrAIa looked up, "Well it is for me, but I don't think he feels the same way about me." "Nah. I think he does. Any way. Men are always like that." She giggled and it made AndrAIa smile. "This won't hurt a bit." Said the doctor as he got ready to give Enzo some anesthetic. He gave Enzo the injection and his face went numb almost strait away. The doctor began surgery. He placed the new eye in the socket. It now had a curved M on it with points to the side. The doctor attempted to make conversation, "So who's the girlfriend of yours?" "Shee'ss ah nobt mye girfrend." Enzo attempted to say but his mouth was numb and almost useless. The doctor laughed and almost slipped. "Don't worry I understood you." He said still laughing, "Why not. She seems nice enough." "We'rree jusbt frinds." Frustrated. Enzo wiped the drool from his mouth. The doctor was beginning to have second thoughts about the conversation thing.. "Don't worry about it kid. There finished. Now where this eye patch for at least a cycle, "Okkay." Enzo's normal voice was returning and he breathed a sigh of relief. "You'll be ready to leave in about a micro or two. Just let the anesthetic wear off." "Is Enzo going to be ok?" Asked AndrAIa worrying about the time. Frisket was trying to sneak in the doors, "Frisket No. Wait outside, Enzo will be out soon." The dog once again whimpered and backed out of the door. Jemima looked over to AndrAIa and smiled, "He'll be fine luv." "I don't suppose you'd help us find somewhere to say do you?" She asked nervously, "Sure. You can stay with me. I've got a spare room. You can stay as long you want. Or just until Enzo feels better perhaps." "Thank you Jemima." "Ohh look here he comes." AndrAIa swung around real fast and jumped off her chair. She ran over to him and hugged him. "Are you ok Enzo?" She asked looking at his eye patch, "Yeah I'm fine." "Jemima the receptionist said we can stay at her place." "That's nice." He turned to Jemima, "Thanks, but as soon as the next game hits, we're outta here. Thanks anyway." He took AndrAIa's hand and he walked out of the hospital with her and Frisket happily joined them. "How come we're going back into the games?" Asked AndrAIa, "We can game hop from system to system. When we find a system with ports to the net we can go find Bob and then go home." Enzo looked down, a tear steamed from his eye, "Don't worry Enzo." She pulled his chin up, "we'll find Bob and Mainframe." She looked helplessly into his eyes trying to give the sprite she loved some hope, "I hope you're right Andi." "WARNING! INCOMING GAME! WARNING! INCOMING GAME!" "Come on Andi!" Yelled Enzo as he pulled her towards the purple cube. They made it just in time. Time past instantly. Game cube time is faster and so Enzo and AndrAIa grew extremely fast. However they didn't know this and they believed they were away for a long, long time. Before long at all they were at least 16 User years old. "GAME OVER." The purple cube ascended into the sky and left standing where it once was a large dog, A large green sprite and an elegant but deadly looking tanned sprite. Enzo, who now managed to get AndrAIa to call him Matrix scanned the online system with glitch, "No ports." He said frowning. AndrAIa walked over to him, "Don't worry Sparky, we'll take the next game outta here." Her voice was comforting and made Matrix feel warm and at home whenever she tried to give hope to the almost hard hearted Matrix. He had spent most of his time working out, attempting to become stronger for whatever may cross his path. His eye, now completely recovered was linked to his own gun. Like a beloved toy he cherished it. They walked around the system and decided it was nice enough to take a small break at, they paid for a hotel room for two nights. They walked into the room. AndrAIa ran and jumped onto the double bed, "So which side of the bed do you want?" She asked jumping on it like a loony. He blushed and looked around, "I was only kidding Sparky! I'll sleep on the single over there." She jumped off the bed and walked over towards the single, "No. I should sleep on the single." "Have you seen how big you are lately!? You would barley fit on it!" She replied giggling a little. He frowned and then gave a cheeky smile, "Oh no." AndrAIa said getting ready to run, he always did this when she made fun of him. He leaped at her and she jumped back, she fell over the bed and he pinned her down, "No! Matrix! Don't do it! Don't……" He did it anyway, "TICKLE ME!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed and he laughed, "Pay back sucks doesn't it?" He said laughing, "Ok! Ok! I won't tease you any more!" He stopped and helped her up. She fell forward and he caught her. He helped her up a little. He just looked into her eyes. It was only then did he realize that she wasn't the little girl he first met, she was something else now, someone he just realised he loved. "Enzo?" He snapped out of his trance and let her go. "Are you ok Enzo?" She asked as he left the room, "Yeah. Fine." He closed the door behind him. AndrAIa sat down on the bed and wondered, "Was it something I did?" She said aloud to herself. She decided to go after Matrix and apologize. Matrix walked down the street trying to pull himself together. He found 5 units on the ground and decided to go into the near by Diner and get something to drink. It flooded back memories of the Diner back in Mainframe and he tried his best to block it out. He ordered a energy shake and sat down at the bar. "Hay. Come sit with us." Matrix swung around to see three guys sitting in a booth. He walked over to them, "Hey I'm Gif." Said a maroon sprite with black hair, "And these are my mates, Jumpstart and Hardfile." He pointed to each of them. Jumpstart had pinkish skin and gray hair and Hardfile had sliver skin and clear hair. The large sprite sat down next to Gif, "I'm Matrix." "Hey. I like that eye." Said Jumpstart smiling, "Yeah I heard they're all the rage! Is it hooked up to a gun?" Asked Gif. Matrix nodded. "I've never seen you here before." Said Hardfile raising an eyebrow, "Yeah I'm just passing through." Replied Matrix. "Are you a Guardian?" Asked Jumpstart giddy with excitement. Nobody had ever asked Matrix this before so he came up with the most reasonable answer, "No. A renegade." "Cool." The all chimed at the same time. Jumpstart looked at his watch, "Damn. I wish the girls would hurry up and get here. What about you Matrix. Do you have a girlfriend?" Matrix looked around nervously, "No. Just a friend." "Oh ok. What's her name?" "AndrAIa." Replied Matrix now really unsettled. That was just the topic he wanted out of his mind. "Ohh here they are." Matrix turned around just in time to see three sprites walk in the door. One with purple skin, one with light green and the other one had pink skin. They walked in the door laughing over something, scanned the room and located the boys. They saw Matrix and smiled at one another and walked over casually to the boys. "Hey babe." Said Hardfile standing up and letting the sprite with pink and light green skin in the booth. The other stood in front of Matrix looking down on him with wide eyes. Gif looked over at Matrix, "Matrix. This is Pixel, my sister." "Hi." He said as he moved over and Pixel sat down next to him, "Hi…" She said still staring at him. "Who is that!?" Asked Hardfile, mouth open looking out the window. His girlfriend elbowed him but all the boys turned and looked anyway. "What a babe!" Said Gif with his face pressed against the glass, fogging it up. Matrix's mouth hit the floor when he realized they were going gaga over AndrAIa. "Ahh that's AndrAIa." He said quietly, "You mean to tell us you're not going out with her!!!!" Yelled Gif. "Well no." Matrix replied. AndrAIa saw Matrix through the window and she walked over to the diner. She came in through the doors and walked over to Matrix. "AndrAIa is it?" Asked Hardfile, "Yeah." She replied looking over at him, "I'm Hardfile." "Hi." "So are you two going to the party tonight?" Asked Jumpstart, "What party?" Asked Matrix with virtually no excitement in his voice, "The huge party on tonight." "Yeah I guess. Do you wanna go Andi?" He turned to AndrAIa, "Of course she does." Said the light green sprite, "Yeah we'll be ready by eight." Said Pixel and the light green and pink sprite scrambled over the table giving the two boys a face full of butt. Pixel grabbed AndrAIa's arm and took her out of the diner and to her place. The girls sat AndrAIa down and the light green sprite began rummaging through endless wardrobes searching for the perfect dress for her, "What about this one?" She asked holding up a long black dress, "Nope." Said Pixel as she tried several different styles with AndrAIa's hair. "Up or down?" Asked the light green sprite, "Up." Pixel replied. The light green sprite continued looking around. The pink sprite was holding a small bag, she opened it up and revealed endless shades of different cosmetics. "What skin tone is she do you think she is Pixel?" Asked the pink sprite and held up bright red and a light pink lipsticks to Pixel, "Definitely lighter colours." She added some bobby pins to AndrAIa's hair. She had put it up in a bunch of small buns. The light green sprite swung around, "I found it!" She held up a blue crush dress with strappy high heels. "Perfect." Said Pixel giving the green sprite a thumbs up. AndrAIa just sat there, lost for words as the three girls did everything and still managed to get their own dresses on and makeup and hair and not even getting slightly wrinkled. They used a simple system called W.H.A.M. Wardrobe, Hair, Attitude and Makeup. Apparently it was the key to a party girl. The guys walked to the party and walked in the door. It was a party hall and only a few had arrived so far. Hardfile walked over to the bar and ordered Matrix a drink, he handed it to him and he shook his head, "No thanks." "Suit yourself." Hardfile gulped down the drink and pretty soon the party was in full swing. Matrix had never been around so many sprites before. Girls all flocked around him, hanging off him. But no matter how many girls hung off him, all he wanted to know was where AndrAIa was. The girls walked over to the party hall, The light green sprite looked over at the nervous AndrAIa, "Now remember AndrAIa, W.H.A.M. Wardrobe, Hair, Attitude, Makeup. Remember that and the guys will be all over you. AndrAIa forced a smile and the girls pushed open the doors. The room seemed to go quiet as the first two girls walked in, the pink skinned one wore a long velvet dress with her hair down, but it curled at the ends into ringlets and they bounced as she made her grand entrance. The light green skinned one walked in with her. She wore a middle length black skirt with a small pink boob tube. Her hair was in a pony tail. Pixel walked in strait in after them, everyone was looking as they were obviously the most popular teens in the system. So now it was up to AndrAIa. Everyone knew the other girls. AndrAIa stepped into the light wearing her short blue crush dress, her hair had little strains dangling and bouncing at her face and neck. Her hips swayed as she was forced to walk more womanly than childish now. The girls made their way over to the boys and Matrix stood there in awe. Jumpstart gave him a push towards AndrAIa and he was quickly in motion towards her. Her eyes shimmered in the flickering lights and even though there was booming music the room seemed totally quiet to both Matrix and AndrAIa. "Hi." Matrix managed to stammer, "you look really nice." She smiled and Matrix felt satisfied with himself considering he barely managed to say that, "Thanks." They both turned around after hearing their names being called. Gif singled them over and they walked over to where everyone was. They all had drinks in their hands and were already pretty drunk. "Wanna dance?" Asked Gif stumbling over to AndrAIa. He took her hand. She pulled it back, "Umm no thanks." She said as politely as she could. Matrix was about ready to ask her if she wanted to leave when, "WARNING! INCOMING GAME!" AndrAIa thanked the User, "We gotta go." Said AndrAIa tapping her icon. Her original wardrobe appeared and her and Matrix ran out of the party, shortly joined by Frisket. "Thank the User for that!" AndrAIa said as she, Matrix and Frisket ran towards the purple cube, "We're not gonna make it!" Yelled Matrix as they charged as fast as they could but they were too late. It hit the ground and they skidded to a halt just in front of it "Damn!" Matrix stomped the ground in frustration, "I was dying to get outta here." "Ahh well lets go back to the hotel room." AndrAIa suggested and he shrugged and they strolled back towards the hotel. "You looked really nice tonight AndrAIa." "Thanks Enzo." All sorts of stuff whizzed through Matrix's head. Those two voices that always plague you. 'Just tell her man!' 'No don't! What if she doesn't feel the same. You're relationship will never be the same again!' 'Tell her! At least then it wouldn't burden you for the rest of your miserable life!' Matrix couldn't decide which side to choose. He knew he loved her the minute he looked into her eyes earlier that day. At the same time, AndrAIa was having the same discussion with herself. She decided it was time to confess her true feelings to Matrix. |
