Author's Notes
• Summary - Neo plans a surprise for Trinity...
• Rating - PG, I guess.
• Timeline - It takes place between the first movie and Reloaded.
• Story - The story is just a little Trinity/Neo romance only for pure fun... I needed Switch for the story,
so she and Apoc are still alive. --Crystal

'Hey', a quiet voice averted Tank's attention. He whirled around to see Neo peeping into the Core from the hallway.
Tank pulled a strange expression.
'What?' he asked.
Neo looked around cautiously.
'Is Trinity here?' he whispered.
The operator stared at him with an odd expression on his face. 'No. She is in the engine room with Apoc and Morpheus.'
Neo sighed, relieved, and came out of his hiding place. 'Good.' he said.
'Man, is everything all right with you?' Tank inquired, still not understanding his companion's behavior.
Neo smiled. 'I'm OK, don't worry. I just didn't want her being around now. I want to ask you something..'
'Should have known...' Tank sneered with a wry smile. He sighed. 'What is it?'
'Please help me' Neo stepped closer to him and whispered in his ear.
Tank's eyes widened at first, with a surprised look on his face. Then he chuckled.
'Please, Tank, you must do this for us...' Neo begged.
'You know it's risky, don't you?' he questioned. 'If we're caught...'
'I know, I would also do it for you...'
Tank sighed, finally giving up.
'OK, man, but don't make this a habit...'
Neo grinned. 'Promise.'
'What are you two up to?' a firm female voice called from behind.
They turned their heads toward the origin of the voice. Switch stood in the center of the Core, eying them suspiciously.
'Nothing.' Tank replied quickly.
'Nothing?' Switch repeated with a smirk.
'I... I just asked Tank to tell me something about his work... so that I can help him if it's necessary..', Neo explained and glanced at the operator for reassuring.
'Yeah.. It's so..' he stated, puzzled, looking back at Neo, then at her.
Switch's eyes were wandered back and forth on the two. She grinned slightly.
'Good. Then you can help me with my shift next time.' she remarked looking at Neo. 'I'm curious how you manage it... And who knows, maybe you will be given some shifts in the future.'
She grinned and left to the mess hall.
'Phew..' Tank sighed. 'That was close.'
'Yeah' Neo agreed. 'Thanks.'
'It will cost you a lot...' the operator warned him quizzically.
'Ok, I won't forget about you.' Neo smiled and punched his arm playfully.
Tank grinned. What a silly man, he thought.
