(Note-character thoughts are displayed as *'s EX-*(Shinji)*)

Story thus far

The last angel has been defeated, but at a price-the sanity of Shinji Ikari. But with the help of this friends he has regained it and is about to start a new life…but with whom? (NOTE:This happens as if the "End of Evangelion" movie never happened!)

Chapter 1-A new start or an end to everything.

Tokyo 3, NERV Headquarters

The door the Unit 01 Cage room opens, a lone body enters. Shinji Ikari enters the cage and stares at Unit 01 in an daze.

"Man, I have been through a lot… and so has unit 01." Declares Shinji. "But now I can put the past behind me… and live as an normal child." As Shinji finishes his speech he turns to leave the Cage. A sound catches his attention, he turns to see nothing though. He turns to leave again but he hears something else. "What!?" Exclaims Shinji as he turns around to see an unbelievable sight. Unit 01 starts to talk to Shinji! It's deep roar frightens Shinji. "Who are you…are you unit 01?!" Asks Shinji in a breathless voice. "Ha, Your struggle is not done…when it is over…one of us will be…gone!" Declares the monstrous being. With that said the beast leans over to engulf Shinji into the abyss inside its mouth.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH" Screams Shinji as he wakes from a disturbing sleep. *(Shinji) Ah, another damn nightmare…what will I do*. "Shinji, are you O.K.!" Asks Misato as she barges into Shinji bedroom. " Yes Misato…" replies Shinji in an uncertain tone. "Well get some rest Shinji, it is off to NERV tomorrow…goodnight" says Misato as she turns to leave the room. *(Shinji) What the hell do I need to do, I don't' know, but this recurring dream is tearing me apart from the inside. Well tomorrow is another day and maybe Asuka won't bitch at me…maybe*!

Misato's Apartment- The next morning

Shinji quietly sits and drinks his coffee and eating toast as Misato takes a shower. *(Shinji) I wonder what surprises today will bring, I will just have to wait and see*. "Morning Shinji…hey are you O.K. because your bitchin' last night kept me up!" Exclaims Asuka with a grin as she comes into the kitchen from her bedroom. Shinji just stares at her with a sour look, easily conveying his anger. "Hey Mr. Grumpy settle down, I was just kidding around with you…lighten up !" Say's Asuka as she sits down for a cup of coffee.

*(Asuka) Shinji…I wonder about him still…maybe I should just lay off him a little*. " Good morning to all of ya…what's wrong?" Asks Misato as she comes out the shower. *(Shinji) Misato can you put something better…other than a towel!* "Nothings wrong!" choruses Shinji and Asuka at the same time. "All right…just finish breakfast and we will go to the meeting at NERV." Announces Misato as she goes to her room to get dressed. Shinji just sat their…in an daze not knowing what is real and what is not. But Misato knew Shinji heard her, but Asuka…just nodded to Misato.

Misato's car

Misato is driving and Shinji and Asuka are in the back, but for some odd reason Asuka is being quiet…not talking. Just then Asuka silently leans over to Shinji, just enough that Misato will not notice. "Shinji…uh…I am sorry…for everything…that I have done, and I want to talk to you about it…after the meeting today, no matter what happens after that I…don't know…" whispered Asuka in a sincere voice. Shinji turns to look Asuka, a comforting smile crosses his face. Unknowing to them, Misato, is keen enough to overhear this conversation.*(Misato) Poor Shinji…I bet this time being here has affected him greatly… I wonder what kind of person he was before this?*

Board Room hall

After a brief ride to NERV the car stops at the facility parking lot and the trio gets out. Silently they walk up to the board room which is having the meeting. "Shinji…Asuka, stay here, I will come and get you when 'they' need you…O.K.?" instructs Misato as she enters the board room. Shinji gives her a thumbs up and Asuka, following Shinji, does the same. The door to the board closes, leaving Shinji and Asuka behind. For a few minutes Shinji just sat their looking up at the ceiling…to him, just another cold lonely ceiling. Asuka to look at Shinji and smiled but then turned away from him. "Why…Asuka…Why did you say that in the car…?" asks Shinji as he continues to stare at the ceiling. "You know have been through a lot…but…why did you ask me this, is it to criticize me or are you serious?" Continues Shinji in an dry, unemotional tone. Auska's face formed a small smile of sorts. She seemed not to take offense to Shiji's ramble…but she look as though she was thinking about something. "Shinji…even though we have been living together for a while I never though of you in a positive way" sigh's Asuka in a regrettable voice. "But…now…" the board room door opens and stops Asuka's speech in mid sentence. The two teenagers turn to look at the being standing in the door. Ms. Misato is standing at the door, tears are streaming down her face, a look of disbelief is stuck on her face. "…C…Come…in you two…please?" asks Misato's cold face. "I am…sorry you two…Asuka especially…I am sorry." announces Misato to the two as they are about to enter the board room.

Just then a cold feeling ran down Shinji's back.
