Chapter 1

Knock, Knock Squall

I'm going to tell you my story. This is what happened to me when I finally woke up. When I finally believed. In what you ask? The Matrix, that's what.

What is the Matrix? I cant tell you, your going to have to see for yourself, what I'm about to show, you might not be ready for…too bad.

It all started when I was listening to music on my headphones; I fell asleep doing a search on my computer. I was searching for information on bunnies. Cute little things, I love them.

I woke up, not willingly to look at a blank computer screen. Three small green words typed themselves across the screen.

Wake up Squall.

"What the hell?" I took my headphones off and sat up, looking intensely at the screen.

The Matrix has you…

I pressed ctrl X…nothing.

Follow the pink flamingo.

" Follow the pink flamingo…" I whispered.

I tried pressing escape, but still nothing.

Finally, the last message…

Knock Knock Squall

My courage was thrown into the rubbish basket when I heard two loud thumps at my door. I think I packed my underwear…you know.

" Who…who is it?" I yelled

"Its Irvine"

I breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to the door. Opening it just a crack. It was Irvine all right. I was glad to see him. He smiled, still chewing his bubblegum. Selphie hung off him like usual. Surprisingly because she was almost half his height.

"Your two hours late"

" I know" he argued, "Its her fault"

" You got the money?"

He sighed and pulled a handful of green notes out of his jacket pocket.

"2 Grand"

I walked over to my cupboard and pulled out a small, round doughnut.

" You're my savior man!" He cried, " Don't know how I'm gonna thank ya you know?"

"Yeah…do you ever get that feeling when…you don't know whether your still dreaming or your awake?"

"No…"

I frowned and looked at Selphie. She smiled seductively and grabbed hold of Irvine. That's when I saw, on her shoulder, a tattoo…of a pink flamingo…
