Nights into Dreams
Part I: If Dreams Came True...
*****************************************************************************
Asuka woke up with start, body covered with damp, cold sweat, her thin nightgown
clinging to her clammy skin. "What was all that about?" she asked herself, already knowing the
answer. She just had the most...peculiar... dream. She was in the entry plug of her beloved
Evangelion Unit 02, when, all of a sudden, she felt a warm, comforting presence inside the entry
plug with her. Tears had welled up in her eyes and dissolved in the saffron LCL when she
recognized the faint, secure felling that enveloped her in this spirit's presence.
"Mother..." she choked, barely over a whisper. The spirit drew closer, and closer, and
after what seemed an eternity, spoke.
"Asuka, liebling..." the voice cooed, lovingly.
"Mama!" Asuka cried, the tears on the brink of escaping her eyes. The spirit formed the
figure of one Gehirn scientist named Kyoko Zepplin Soryu, and reached to the cockpit where
Asuka was sitting with outstretched arms. Asuka, with great unconditional love and joy, jumped
into her arms.
"Mama, we are together again, we'll be together forever!" Asuka cried out with true
happiness.
"Oh Asuka liebling, liebe ich sie..." Kyoko said warmly.
"I love you too mama." said Asuka, smiling genuinely.
"Then..." Kyoko continued " Will you die...with me, Asuka darling? DIE WITH ME!"
"Yes..." Asuka said weakly "I'll die with you, anything to be together again."
"Komm, Asuka liebling..." Kyoko said reassuringly, slowing floating away from Asuka,
the entry plug suddenly disappearing and turning to a steep cliff on the outskirts of Tokyo-3 Asuka
had once visited previously. "Take my hand, Asuka darling, come die with me..." Kyoko said in a
disturbingly happy tone. Asuka gently cupped her late mother's hand and slowly moved toward the
edge of the cliff. Asuka and her mother jumped to there doom, and right before she hit the jagged
rocks below, she woke to the sound of her annoyingly loud alarm clock, buzzing '6:00am'. Gently
slapping the sides of her face to wake up, Asuka groggily staggered to the washroom for a nice,
relaxing bath before school.
******************************************************************************
Shinji yawned as he woke from a...uneventful dream. The usual dream, he is at a beach,
being fed grapes by Asuka, and being fanned with big leaves by Misato, and Rei. Okay, he might
be a pessimistic protagonist, but is also is a 14-year-old boy. Anyway, he started out of
"Shinji's Lovely Suite", sleepily opening the door. Wiping his crust filled eyes, he stumbled to the
bathroom door, and slowly turned the nob...
******************************************************************************
Asuka drained the water from the bathtub, breathing a heavy sigh of total relaxation.
"Mmmm.... maybe I'll be nice to Baka-Shinji for a change today..." she paused " Maybe
not." Asuka quietly giggled. 'Verdamnt, I forgot the towel... Ah well, better make a break for it."
Asuka quickly picked up her undergarments and quickly sped out of the bathroom, to ensure no
one, especially Baka-Shinji doesn't catch a heavenly glimpse the magnificent goddess known as
herself. She smirked 'At least, for him, he'd see heaven, before he sees hell..." she smirked again.
As she flung open the bathroom door, low and behold, to much of her displeasure, was a flustered
Shinji Ikari, heading right into her. "Wha..?" Asuka barely got out before Shinji clumsily toppled
into Asuka, and they ended up in an awkward position on the cold tile of the bathroom floor,
Asuka's red bra landed on the top of Shinji's head. After a pause of complete shock for Asuka, and
embarrassing awkwardness on Shinji's part, Asuka's head turned as beet red as the bra situated on
Shinji's head. Taking in a raspy breath, Asuka began her onslaught.
"YOU STUPID PERVERTED DUMMKOPF!! HOW DARE YOU WALK IN ON ME
WITHOUT EVEN KNOCKING?!? YOU FREAK, GET OFF OF ME!! DISGUSTING HENTAI,
I'LL MURDER YOU!!!" Shinji's face turned from a crimson to a ghostly white.
"Ah...SORRY!! I'm so SORRY Asuka-san, just give me a head start before you rip me to
shreds!" With that, Shinji jetted out of the bathroom, with Asuka in hot pursuit.
******************************************************************************
At the breakfast table, Misato, Shinji and Asuka ate in total silence, with Asuka
occasionally giving Shinji some cut-eye. Shinji quietly got up and washed his dish in the sink,
shortly after, Asuka followed suit.
"I'm finished. Goodbye Misato, I'm going to school now." Asuka said in a monotone that
made Rei sound emotional.
"Have a good day Asuka, Shinji." Misato said cheerfully.
"Bye, Misato-san" Shinji murmured, loud enough for Misato to hear.
With that, Asuka abruptly opened the door, and as Shinji was following, she slammed it in
his face, particularly his nose.
"OW!" he cried as his nose started to bleed. Misato was stunned, Asuka might be moody,
but this was a bit much.
"Are you okay Shinji?" asked Misato, quite concerned, in more ways than one...
"I'm fine, I'll just get some Kleenex and go..." he said quietly.
"Wait." Misato stopped Shinji in his tracks "What is going on with you and Asuka, she
acting a bit more moody than usual."
"Um..." Shinji blushed "I... kinda ... saw her....." his nose bleed acted up again, but for a
different reason. "Saw her what? Oh..." Misato realized, answering her own question.
"So..." Misato said with an goofy smirk on her face, one he would more than likely see on
Touji or Kensuke "You get a good look.?" Shinji's blush deepened.
"I think I got to much of a good look, seeing as though I was on the floor on top of her..."
'Why am I getting a feeling of Deja Vu?' he inquired to himself.
"At least you lived to talk about it, I think she is being quite lenient, in Asuka's standards
anyway." she shook her head wearily. "Anyway, you should head to school, you'll be late if you
don't hurry!"
"Oh yeah... bye, Misato-san!" Shinji said, louder than his previous attempt to leave for
school.
"Have a nice day, and give Asuka some space, wouldn't want you to be breaking anything
now." Misato called out as he opened the door.
"Okay. Bye!" Shinji called back as he shut the door.
******************************************************************************
"Damn! I'm gonna be late!" Asuka grumbled as she neared the school, the warning bell had
just rung, so she only has 5 minutes to get to class. "Baka-Shinji, making me late. If I didn't have
to chase him for 30 minutes around the apartment I wouldn't be in this mess!" Asuka huffed and
ran faster, to passers-by she looked like a red streak speeding along the sidewalk. Luckily, she
made it to class just in time for the bell to ring. "Where is that pathetic idiot, it's not like him to be
late..." Asuka inquired. Remembering this morning's events, anger welled up within her. "Hmph!
Good riddance, the wimpy BAKA!" she growled as she took her seat.
******************************************************************************
Shinji casually walked to school.
"I'm already late as it is...so might as well enjoy the walk." he smiled serenely. The rest of
the walk was quiet, as he pondered and engaged in deep thought, but all of which would lead back
to the occurrence in the morning.
"Oh man, what am I going to do? Ok, ok, I'll buy her some flowers, NO!! She'll shove
them down my shirt, most likely... Then a box of chocolates! No, no, she'd probably think I want
to go on a date with her, she'd pummel me into the ground!...then maybe.." This train of thought
went on until he finally arrived at school, when he had the perfect idea.
"I know! Tomorrow, I'll make a special lunch for Asuka, filled with her favorite foods and
desserts!" Shinji grinned. "And maybe she'll be a bit nicer to me for awhile, a longshot, but it's
worth the effort." And with that resolved, he sped up his place and walked into Classroom 2-A.
******************************************************************************
"Um...Asuka?" asked Hikari, the class rep, quietly "Where is Shinji-kun?"
"Ha!" Asuka laughed "Like I, the Great Asuka Langley Soryu, care where the Baka-Shinji-
kun is, he could be in a burning building for all I care!"
"Umm..." Hikari hesitated "I didn't ask if you cared, I just asked if you know where he is."
Asuka blushed slightly
"Oh..." she started, then, finding her pride again "I don't know where that loser is."
"Ok, thanks anyway." Hikari smiled softly, bowed slightly and left Asuka's presence.
'Where is the baka, he isn't the type to be this late...' before Asuka could finish her thought, in
walked Shinji, with Kleenex blocking his two nostrils red with dry blood.
"You get in a fight Ikari?" Touji chuckled, the class quickly followed suit with small
giggling and chuckling.
"That would explain why you're late." the Sensei noted sternly.
"Oh... I..." Shinji blushed "Just got hit in the face with the door, that's all."
"Oh dear," gasped Hikari "How ever did that happen?"
"Asuka was in a rush, and I clumsily bumped into the door, is all." Shinji explained.
Everyone sighed an uninterested 'oh' and resumed their work. Shinji walked to his seat, and
looked behind himself, at Asuka. She was staring right at him, with her azure eyes, and for an
instant, he saw something..... different. Asuka knew Shinji could have embarrassed her in front of
the entire class by giving the blame where it was rightfully due, but instead he blamed himself for
her rudeness. Her shield came up again and she shot Shinji a dirty look, and continued her work.
Shinji shook his head and took his seat, this was going to be a long day.
******************************************************************************
ANGEL ATTACK!
Shinji, Asuka and Rei's school day was greatly shortened by the blaring sirens of the
familiar warning. Their cell phones rang.
"Hey kids? I'll be there in 5 minutes to pick you guys up, ok?" said Misato over the phone.
"Hai!" they said in chorus, and hung up their phones.
"Ikuyaho! (Here we go!)" yelled Asuka as they evacuated the school. Misato pulled up, the
children loaded in, and they were off, heading towards the Geo-Front.
******************************************************************************
"Evangelion Units 00, 01, 02, HASHIN (LAUNCH)!!" yelled Misato. The elevators
launched the valiant fighters into battle, Unit 01 as offensive, Unit 02 as defensive, and Unit 00 as
backup, all positions assigned based on their sync ratios.
"Where is the Angel?" Asuka asked Misato over the comm.
"Just over the horizon, be careful, this one is different that any that we have seen before, so
take a lot of precaution, we need a reading on the angel before we attack, okay?"
"Hai!" they all responded.
"Good. Keep us informed of any trouble." And with that, Misato turned off the comm. link.
Eva units 02 and 01 walked over the horizon, as unit 00 stayed stationary.
"Be careful Ikari-kun, Pilot Soryu-san." Rei said quietly.
"Thanks, Ayanami." Shinji replied, Asuka said nothing.
"I see it!" Asuka exclaimed. The spiral shaped, black and blue entity hovered closer to
Asuka's and Shinji's Evangelions.
"Wave pattern Orange, confirmation by the Magi, it's an Angel." said Makoto Hyuga.
"Alright kids, stay put, we are going to study it a bit more..." said Misato, but Asuka had
already grown inpatient.
"Like Hell! Out of my Shinji, Let me show you how it's really done!" Asuka said with a
newfound conviction. 'This time, I won't need Baka-Shinji or Wonder Girl's help.' she thought.
With a battle cry, Asuka charged toward the spiraled Angel.
"NO!! ASUKA DON'T!" shouted Misato, but it was too late...
