Shinji held up the Angel while Rei held the core to keep it from spinning. Asuka took her knife and stabbed it into the core. The Angel burst into a red liquid that spewed everywhere.

A few days later, Shinji lay in his hospital bed wondering about the next Angel attack. Then, all of a sudden, Rei walks into his room.

"Hello, Shinji."

Shinji jerked his head up. "H-hey, Rei!"

Rei kept a straight face. "Nerv headquarters has detected no more Angels..."

Shinji's eyes widen. "Wh-what!? Are you serious!?"

Rei nods. "Yes. We cannot find any trace of another Angel. After we destroyed the last one, it let off some sort of signal. They're trying to figure out what it was, but other than that...-"

"We can live a normal life now!?" Shinji smiles.

"Yes, however, we need to be ready for anything."

"Right..." Shinji lays back.

Asuka pushes her way in. "If there are no more Angels, then I guess I won't ever be able to get back in the EVA... Its not fair!" She stomps her foot.

Shinji sighs.

Asuka glares at him. "What's your problem, Stupid Shinji!?"

Shinji closes his eyes. "Can't you just enjoy the peace? We're finally done..."

"Hmph..." Asuka walks out.

Shinji sighs. "What will you be doing now that we're done, Rei?"

"I don't know..." She looks at the floor. "I guess, if its okay with you, that I'll stay with you."

Shinji blushes. "L-like how?"

"However you want me to." Rei looks at him.

"You sure you wanna spend your free time with a loser like me? I don't even do anything all day..."

"We'll find something to do. You can trust me." Rei slightly smiles.

Shinji smiles too. "Okay."

"Thank you." Rei walks out of the room.

Shinji looks up at the ceiling. "Wow... Finally we have peace..."
