Rain
A Serial Experiments Lain Story By Dot Matrix
A/N: I know this Lain doesn't know J.J. but it helps the story, so work with it. Besides, I've never heard J.J. speak either so I can't write like he talks. Also the first paragraph was though up when I didn't have my computer. Not because of a power out, but because of an angry mother. Who thinks I should connect less, but Lain's mother doesn't care, now does she? So it wouldn't sound right. Enough with the babbling, on with the connections.
........just another voice in the wired.......
***********************************************
Rain poured down the windows as Lain paced inside her room. "Must cc..connect, must connect", the words ran in a continuos circle through her head. It had started out as a game. The power went out, and she tried for no connection. The batteries on her portable Navi had ran out twenty hellish minutes ago. She tried running through all her files in her head. Every website, folder, and pic that she had ever seen flashed before her eyes. The memory of the wired just wasn't enough... The sweat forming on her forehead dripped down between her eyes. Her breathing quickened. The need for the wired called her more fiercly then before. Where can I connect?!? A place with wires crossing the walls and loud music pounding in her ears came unbidden into her head. Cyberia! Before the thought had barly taken hold she was halfway down the stairs. The glimps of teminals in the darkened club was all that she could see.
It seemed to rain came hevier the moment she set foot outside. Down the front stairs and out onto the slippery sidewalk she ran. The dirty grey buildings as dead tombstones flashed by, her heart pouding. Rain splashed over her head and shoulders soaking her. Waves of dark water splashed as her pounding feet hit pavement. No one crowded the small sidewalk as she ran faster dispite the fact she was losing breath quickly. Connection, so close... Just a few more blocks.
"J.J.!" The D.J. was just opening the underground club when he heared Lain.
"Yo! Lain! Whazzup?" He noted the panicked look in Lains face, and the fact that she was out in the rain without a coat. "Somethin' wrong?"
"cc...connection, must connect!" she gasped, out of breath from her five block run, "my power out... need a connection. Got a computer...?"
"Sure! Right this way!" He opened the door to a dark Cyberia and led her in. "Right over there." He said pointing to the back wall."Just let me hit the main power switch, and you'll be online!"
"Thanks" Lain said and ran, dripping, over to the cluster of terminals that lined the walls. J.J. turned on the power and the club flickered to life. "What do you have these computers here for any way, J.J.?" Lain questioned the D.J. as the internet came rushing through the phone line like junk through the addict's veins.
"For people like you. The club runs on an alterntive power sorce then the rest of the city. We always get a few people in here who need to connect during a storm. Or just to check there mail if thier going to be out all night and didn't want to bring thier Navis." He explained.

End, or does it stop?
Maybe I should write more to this...bring Taro, or Myu-Myu in. Ah, maybe later, REVIEW please!
