Theatre Antics

Trinity and Neo pulled up to the movie theater. It was an upscale Capitol 4. Trinity frowned a bit.

"You dragged me away from Days of Our Lives to see a late night movie?" Neo grinned at her.

"Great, huh? Best part is, the others are here too." Trinity considered. Well, if she could chat with Niobe rather than actually watch whatever Neo had dragged her out to, she might actually forgive him. Neo got out of the old, black car, and as they walked up to the ticket counter Trinity asked

"So, what exactly are we seeing?" Neo smiled at her as he got his change, and then pulled her into a tight embrace.

"An original copy of The Wizard of Oz." Trinity squealed and kissed him.

"Ooh, that's the movie we saw on our first date! Neo, that's so sweet!" She was still gushing as they went into the theater. But she frowned as she saw the last two seats available. They were on either end of a row. A row containing, from left to right; Two, One, Niobe, Morpheus, Link and his sweetheart, Zee. Neo frowned too.

"Well, we'll just have to ask someone if they'll move." Trinity didn't think it likely though. The Twins were on one end, Link and Zee on the other. Trinity and Neo went over to the Twins and tapped the closest, Two (not like you could tell them apart, though), on the shoulder. Two looked up from what they were doing, which turned out to be sharpening their switchblades, and gave Trinity a very annoyed stare. Trinity fidgeted, and cleared her throat.

"Um, Neo and I were wondering if one of you would be willing to move to the seat on the other end of the row so Neo and I could sit together." One and Two just stared at them. Telepathically, they debated the merits of moving. Really, though, said Two, It'd be more fun to make them pass messages.

Brilliant! Agreed One. Out loud, he said

"You know, we're really quite comfortable right here. Sorry." And they both gave them a trademark smirk and went back to playing around with their many knives.

"Well, then I'll just go sit down there." Said Neo, pointing to the other end of the row. Trinity nodded and sat next to Two, whom she realized was stifling laughter. But just then the movie started.

You know, said Two to his Twin when he had calmed himself, this could get interesting. Us all alone, next to a human, able to completely screw with her head.

Of course! Agreed One, What else would we do? We don't want to be here. The least we could do is make it interesting. Then they snickered mentally. They sat calmly and appeared to be watching the movie, but after only a few minutes, Niobe leaned over to One and whispered

"Neo wants to know if Trinity wants some popcorn." She said it as quickly as possible, so she could get back to the movie, so it took One a moment to understand just what she had said. Then he and Two shared an evil look. Two leaned over to Trinity and whispered sensually

"Neo wants to know if when you get a room tonight if you want some strawberries and whipped cream and-" he dropped his voice and suggested something very graphic to Trinity, with a completely straight face. She gasped and Two could see her face flush.

"He said what!?" she asked a little loudly, and One almost burst with laughter as Two calmly took in everyone in the row looking at her and said in a totally innocent little voice

"He just asked if you wanted some popcorn." Trinity lowered herself all the way back down into her seat and glared at Two with a Glare of Death. She then stated royally

"Please tell Neo that I would love some popcorn." As the Twins almost broke down, Niobe passed the message on with another Glare of Death. Neo got up and struggled past Zee, Link, Morpheus and Niobe and the Twins refrained from tripping him as he went past. He was gone for almost five minutes, but he did eventually return with two large buttery popcorns. He gave one to Trinity with a smile and struggled back to his seat. The movie continued, and the Twins almost thought that they had had their chance, but Niobe leaned over and in curt tones gave One the message that Neo wanted to know if Trinity wanted anything to drink, and he better not screw it up. One nodded gravely and shared the message telepathically. Two grinned as he turned away and leaned over to Trinity and said

"Neo has a bottle of Tesso Blanc de Noir over there and wants to know if you'd like to join him." Two smiled convincingly. He was very good at that smile. Trinity blushed furiously again. Two rested his elbow on the armrest and rested his chin in his hand. His smile widened. Trinity looked away and mumbled something incomprehensible around her popcorn. Niobe leaned around One and whispered furiously

"What did you tell her!?" her expression was very angry. Two looked at Niobe innocently and One answered

"We only told her that Neo asked if she wanted something to drink!" Well, technically it's true! Two exclaimed mentally. Trinity's redness became anger.

"Yes I would," she said rather defiantly. As the Twins reigned in their laughter, she stated "I would like a large diet Pepsi." She leaned over and said it to Niobe. Niobe passed it on and the Twins ignored Trinity's glares and watched the movie. Neo once again struggled by and returned with two large drinks and passed one to Trinity. She gave him a large, beaming smile, and he returned it with a rather confused look that said he was unaware of the goings on at this end of the row. The Twins shared a private snicker. Most of the rest of the movie passed uneventfully, except that the Twins were so bored they nearly fell asleep twice and actually found it amusing to watch Morpheus snore. But twenty minutes before the ordeal was to end, Niobe passed a one-karat diamond ring to One. She said quietly.

"It's for Trinity. Neo is asking her to marry him; because this is the movie he took her to for their first date. Don't screw up." She glared. One handed the ring to his brother and asked Should we? Two thought. Not like we mean it. And it would probably horrify her. They agreed. Two turned to Trinity, and waited until she saw the ring. Her eyes widened and Two raised an eyebrow. Trinity smiled knowingly.

"It's probably from Neo, and he's a nice guy, but I just can't see myself with him forever. I was only with him because he's the One. But you two…" she trailed off suggestively and stretched her long, leather-clad legs across the aisle. By now she had One's attention too. Both Twins wore horrified looks at what she was suggesting. Two dropped the ring to the movie theater floor. Then he moved as far away from her as possible in the worn velour seat.

"And really, that suggestion you made with the strawberries and the whipped cream sounded fun." She purred. The Twins shuddered, truly horrified. Trinity reached forward to run a finger down Two's chest, and that was when the Twins ran. Both leapt from their seats, Two vaulting right over Trinity. They fled the theater and got back to Le Chateau as quickly as possible. Trinity sighed. Damn. Lost them again. Everyone else looked quizzically at her.

"What was that about?" asked Neo as they were leaving.

"No idea. They just up and left." Trinity brushed it off with a wave of her hand. Well, she hadn't managed to get the Twins (this time), but she might at least be able to entice Neo to stop and pick up some strawberries and whipped cream on the way home…
