Author's Note: just to tell you, this is my very first draft I wrote for this, so bear with me. I don't think many people will like it though, but it is my first, so I'll get some ideas later.

Third Impact Aftermath

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Two people lay sleeping on the bank of the Ocean of LCL. The soft waters rippling softly, lapping against the shore. One of the figures stood up, presumably a girl, with a red plug suit with flaming red hair. The girl looked around her, then down, towards her sleeping companion.

"WAKE UP BAKA-SHINJI! ARE YOU GONNA SLEEP HERE ALL DAY?" she yelled, at the same time kicking his side.

Shinji sat straight up, looked around to see who had disturbed him from his peaceful sleep. What a stupid question to think about, he thought. Who else could there be right now, everyone's dead after the Third Impact, other than him and Asuka. Sometimes he would cry over the situation. The Third Impact has killed everyone and anyone that he ever loved and known. He dearly missed his friends, Toji and Kensuke. He missed more his guardian, Misato, even though she was a complete slut and she couldn't even take care of herself. He mostly missed Rei, quiet and peaceful.

"Hey baka, we've been walking around this stupid shore for about 5 days now, we're almost out of food! You were the first one to cause this anyways, I might rather be dead than be on this desolate place with you!" stormed Asuka.

All Shinji did was stare at the calm sea, slides of Third Impact scrolling through his head. He wanted to tear out that part of his memory. He wanted to forget all about it as if it never happened. However, the haunting visions of the bloody Eva 0-1 still appear every time he sleeps.

"WELL! Staring at nothingness will solve nothing!" Asuka screamed.

With that, she lifted Shinji off the ground, by the collar. A frightful face emerged from Shinji. He has never seen Asuka this angry before!

After staying there in that pose, time seemed to stop, nothing moved. Finally Asuka lowered Shinji with a softness in her eyes. She ran towards the shore and crouched there, started weeping.

Shinji had no idea what to do. He has never seen Asuka cry before. The only thing he thought of was to go there and comfort her. But he knew how Asuka was, never appreciating anything, always forgiveness. Bossing him around every time. But he thought it'll be better if he went and checked if she was alright. He walked silently next to her, then crouched down to see her face. But it was buried in her hands.

"Baka, go away, I don't need your help!" Asuka stormed.

To her surprise, Shinji wrapped his arm around her and comforting her. She slowly looked up.

"What are you doing?" Asuka asked in shock. "I know what it feels like to be alone, and the pain inside, after something has happened." Shinji replied. "No you don't. You don't understand one person at all. Never the less me!" Asuka raged on. "I never wanted to pilot Eva anyways, they forced me. After that, I have never been the same before, I hated myself. I wanted to die at that time. Even now." Shinji said.

Asuka just looked at Shinji, eyes glistening with tears. Without a word, she buried her face in Shinji's arms. She sobbed until Shinji said something at last.

"Didn't you say that you would never cry again? Seems like you're doing a bad job at it." Shinji teased.

Asuka stopped at once, and hardened again on him, turning back to her former self, still in Shinji's embrace.

"WHO SAID I WAS CRYING! I SAW YOU CRY YOUR BUTT OFF THE OTHER NIGHT!" Asuka stormed again.

All Shinji did was smile at her. She was back to her normal self again. Right at that time, A huge form appeared out of the Ocean of LCL. The luminous figure stood straight up. The Ocean mist concealing its identity. All of a sudden, there was a ominous roar, that both of them knew at the same time. Eva 0-1 Berserker. But they both knew that couldn't be, Eva 0-1 was in space, orbiting some planet. At that time, its eyes flashed evil green. Everything around them turned blurry and white. Everything was spinning, spinning, spinning.
