A/N - So this is the first fanfic I ever wrote. This all got started because I couldn't get over the fact that Neo and Trinity were separated in the end. And The Oracle's vagueness regarding whether Neo would ever return. So, this is truly a labor of love because I NEEDED Neo and Trinity to be reunited. I'm going to upload in chapters even though I wrote it as a continuous piece with sections divided by dialogue from the movie.

Disclaimer - I don't own the characters or the movies. I'm not seeking fame and fortune.

Part One

Rama Kandra: "I can see you are in love. Can you tell me what you would give to hold on to that connection?"

Neo: "Anything."

Morpheus: "I don't know what he can do to save us. But I do know that as long as there is a single breath left in his body he will not give up. And neither can we."

Suddenly everything became clear and it was as if he had always known. It was like breathing; he didn't have to concentrate. It took no force of will. It simply was. And it was only because she believed in him. Her love brought him back to life. It was her kiss that restarted his heart, breathed air into his lungs. Her touch opened his eyes and he began to believe. It was her love that gave him the courage and determination to be everything she saw him to be.

And, now she was gone. Motionless and lifeless. Her body, broken and bloody and yellowing with death.

He was grateful in her last moments that his eyes had been scorched. To see her might have broken him, and he still had work to do. She believed in him - loved him. He had to end it for her.

With steely resolve, he let Smith invade, feeling the rogue's poison splice into every corner and take over. He could hear the demented laughter of apparent victory. And then, the machines; their code of destruction speeding through him like wild fire, seeking the virus like a ravenous wolf. Each command a hunter, instantly devouring the viral prey and ending the siege.

Then there was light. Blinding and warm and everywhere, pouring from within. He closed his eyes and thought of her. As surely as if she were standing in front of him, her hands on his face, her lips pressed to his, he could feel her. And like making love to her for the first time, he was breathless, unable to contain the fire in his chest. He wanted to hold her, needed to feel her in his arms, to pull her to him and never let go again.

The feel of her there was so real, so powerful, he raised his arms in wishful delusion. He reached his fingers to feel the soft skin of her neck, the silky blackness of her hair. He could taste her kiss, as real as the last he had given, could feel the tender way she melted her lips to his. She felt so real.

Knowing it would only shatter the dream, but unable to stop himself, he forced open his bleeding eyes, desperate to see her face. As the muted light of the machine world slowly filtered through, he thought he surely must be dead. Against everything he knew to be real, she stood before him, alive and whole, breathing life into him once more,

"Trinity! How...?"

"I don't know. It doesn't matter. All that matters is we are never letting go."

PLEASE review - even if it's just a "YOU SUCK" - I need to know y'all are reading and I want to hear your ideas and thoughts. Thank you! Firefly
