Okay, I do not own Tron or Tron:Legacy or any of its characters.

This is my very first, yes first, fanfic ever! So... let me know what you think, constructive criticism please.

Memories

"Just like this." Kevin Flynn told his son as he angled his wrist to skip the rock across the water. Sam stood by his father, mimicking his hand motions in an attempt to skip his own rock. As ripples began to form on the water the scene changed from the shoreline to The Grid. Images and sounds of the brief time Sam spent with his father there flashed by until finally he was standing at the portal watching as Clu was re-integrated, only this time instead of the resulting explosion, Kevin Flynn remained after the process was complete and soon joined Sam and Quorra at the portal to return home. The light blinded Sam as he looked up, waiting to be transported back to the basement office at his father's arcade and just when he expected to see his father again, he woke up with a jolt.

It took Sam a moment to realize that he was in his apartment and that his face was wet with tears. Movement across the room startled him as Quorra hesitantly crawled out of the bed and joined him on the couch. From the look on her face it was clear she was unsure of how to help him but that she did not like the distraught look on his face.

"I still can't believe I found him, only to lose him again." Sam spoke after a few minutes. "I keep waking up expecting him to be here, or that he is simply back at work, that it would be so easy to go and visit him." Sam sniffled and wiped his face dry as he tried to gain some composure, Quorra's concerned gaze was a little unnerving even though he knew she meant well. When he looked up, she had tears in her eyes as well.

"Flynn spoke of you on many occasions. He loved you very much. My favorite memory is the day he taught me how to make a rock float across a surface of water, he told me that you and him would go down to the," Quorra paused as she tested the word out in her mind, "shore-line and practice." By this time her own tears were traveling down the soft skin of here face. It was then that Sam realized she must have felt just as lost as he did without his father. She had lived with Flynn for many cycles and owed her life to him. The awe of a new day in the user world had simply delayed the inevitable. "I miss him too..." anything she might have said next was cut off as Sam put his arm around her in a tight hug meant to comfort them both.

The next time Sam awoke from sleep it was a much more pleasant experience. He and Quorra had drifted off together on the couch, holding tight to one another as they attempted to both acknowledge and escape their sorrows. Sam smiled as he looked down at Quorra's head which was resting gently on his chest, the sun shining on her raven colored hair as it covered her face. He was caught staring when she looked up and smiled at him.

"Good morning," he spoke in a deep voice full of sleep. But his state of un-awakeness was lost on Quorra as she was once again taken with the sunshine coming through the window. Remembering their conversation the night before an idea came to Sam. "Quorra, would you like to visit the shoreline where I learned to skip rocks? We can see who was the better student." a mischievous glint came into his eyes.

"I think I would like that very much Sam Flynn." Quorra returned the challenge with a smile of her own.

That afternoon found them down at the water's edge skipping rocks for hours as they laughed and Sam answered all of Quorra's questions about the natural world. It felt as if by sharing this simple skill that had been taught to both of them, that Sam's father was there watching over them. It was the first of many wonderful days full of adventure, but to tell those is another story, for another day.

Please let me know if you liked it! Or if not, how could I make it better.
