Daft Punk, Tron: Legacy OST, "Finale"

[instrumental]

Warning: WE CAN'T STOP HERE, THIS IS FOURTH WALL COUNTRY.

Flynn never gave Anon the feeling he was unwelcome when their paths crossed, but it was rare that the User actually summoned him (Flynn would have called it an "invitation," but something always got lost in translation with programs), which was as it should be, because the Creator doubtless had more important things to do than talk to the Monitor. Anon had only the vaguest conception of what those things might be, but with the sublime confidence of a child or someone who was totally wrong, he was quite certain they existed.

"In here!" Flynn's voice came from several rooms away. It had never occurred to Anon to wonder how Flynn had acquired the building he now lived in when he seemed to spend most of his time not doing anything that even vaguely resembled work. He was the Creator. Of course he could have whatever he wanted.

"Have a seat, man. You are not going to believe what I found," Flynn said from the couch, not turning around as Anon entered the room. Anon hesitated for a moment to process this directive, but it was quite clear. So he circled around and sat down what he hoped was a courteous distance away from Flynn—which was to say, as far away as the couch allowed. This resulted in a skeptical look from his User, but no comment, so Anon decided it was good enough.

"Check this out." Flynn grinned in the way Anon had learned meant he was very happy with his work. (Anyone else would have said 'smug as hell.') With a couple of quick gestures, Flynn started the playback of a video file on the opposite wall. There was some green text on a black background that Anon could read but made no sense to him, and then—it said 'Tron!' And then it showed an image of a program with blue circuitry for a moment before changing to abstract pictures that formed into something that reminded him of the Grid. Anon cocked his head at Flynn in puzzlement. "Don't look at me, look at the screen," the User said with a laugh.

Anon leaned forward as the picture changed again. He recognized what must have been the User world version of Flynn's arcade, and then first-generation light cycles on a strange, primitive Game Grid. What was this? Was it the old system? Hopelessly lost, he gave Flynn a pleading look.

"I could go for some popcorn," said Creator.

["Finale" plays over the second half of the credits, so I just went with "movie." I don't even know.]

This... is adorable. I love it.
I almost want this to happen in-game. They could drag Tron with them to watch TRON!

Anon would be fanboying all over the place, and Tron would be like "may I go, Flynn? I remember this because I was there." Meanwhile Flynn is stuffing his face with popcorn.

OMG how sad would Tron be that Alan didn't like Flynn at first? XD

I want this to happen so bad.

Poor Tron, with his dad and friend being annoyed with each other X3
And Anon trying to figure out if it's Flynn and Tron or Flynn and Alan that he looks like.

How do we make this happen? It simply must.

At least it'll be over with quickly. XD Alan is converted to Flynn's cause within about five minutes because Flynn is just that likable. And because Alan has a strong sense of justice but shh.

Oh. Anon needs to bring Gibson. It can be a date.

It probably can't happen for a while, because Tronzler's pretty Rinzler-y right now.

Flynn makes all the friends. All of them.

Gibson can snark through the movie. Huzzah!

This is true. But someday, it needs to happen.

Guy's super-power is making friends. His ex likes him enough to risk her job for him. That is some serious likability.

Flynn needs to make enough non-Tronverse friends that he can get a "subdue Tron and then sit on him while Flynn fixes him" hunting party together. Because yes, Tron is seriously badass, but in case you hadn't noticed, you can't throw an identity disc around here and not hit a badass.

It really is. Flynn, how did you get so badass at that? Or is just your latent grooviness that does it?

There are an awful lot of badasses around here, Anon can agree on that. And maybe some of them could help deal with Tron. Yet Anon seems to make friends with all the non-badasses, wtf

That is ridiculously adorable and I absolutely love it to pieces. Anon you are so cute. And Flynn.... just. Flynn. XD

Anon really is just a big, deadly puppy. Desperately eager to please, and he doesn't care what he's doing as long as he's doing it with his person.

He really is. Combined with Flynn's relaxed attitude though and it's hilariously adorable. So cute together.
