Welcome, ladies and germs, to SUPER ROBOT WARS U (Picture-less) PICTURE DRAMAS! This is a little side project of minethat will allow me to have the characters interact in numerous ways. They will be funny, serious or some of both. But it is an opportunity for me to have characters that never interacted do so, or just put them in scenarios that would otherwise just fill up space. Some of these may end up becoming canon.

But the big deal is that YOU, my fine readers, will be able to come up with the basic ideas for scenes! Are there certain characters you want to have interact? Do you want a particular voice actor to talk to him/herself? If so, check out the bottom of the chapter for the rules.

For my first I decided to try a whirl at something short...a scene on one of NERV's elevators, even though it's not THE elevator scene. I also wanted to go slightly more in-depth with Rei's appetite for a certain fruit...

Chapter 15.44 (Japan) - Tangerine

The elevator door opened, and much to Asuka's displeasure, she saw Rei, the pilot of Evangelion Unit 00, standing there, taking a small bite of a tangerine. Ever since the day the Fifth Angel attacked, the pilot of Evangelion Unit 00 was never without one of the small orange fruits.

What is it with the favorite and tangerines all of a sudden? Asuka said to herself as she stepped onto the elevator and stood in the back corner, leaning against the wall and staring at the opposite one. Meanwhile, she could hear Rei chewing, though just barely.

Asuka did her best to ignore the sound, yet the surrounding silence only seemed to magnify its volume. She tried everything to drown this other unassuming sound out - humming songs, sniffling, tapping her foot on the floor, nothing seemed to work.

Ironically, Rei was the one to shatter the awkwardness of the moment, as she took off a piece of the fruit and held it out to Asuka.

"Get that away from me!" Asuka snapped, slapping the piece out of Rei's hand. "I hate tangerines."

Rei looked down at the now-dirty piece of fruit.

"Geez, what is it with you, you stupid doll?!" Asuka yelled. "Every day now I see you eating one of those things! Heck, I don't see you eating anything else nowadays!"

Rei said nothing, but took another bite of the tangerine. Instantly, those good feelings she felt before returned, and her troubled mind was at ease once more.

"Say something!" Asuka yelled.

"There's a new student in the upper class," Unit 00's pilot finally said.

Asuka was half expecting Rei to say something cryptic about the Evangelions or something, but this sounded remotely normal, which in itself was unnerving to Unit 02's pilot.

"...Yeah, so?"

"He's nice," Rei replied.

"Nice?!" Asuka spat, "Who would be nice to a doll like you?!"

"But I'm not a..."

"You know what? Stop talking to me! Dolls are supposed to be silent, anyway!"

The elevator door opened and Asuka stormed out, glad to be away from that girl she disliked so much. She didn't even see Gendo Ikari walking by her and stepping on to the elevator himself.

"Hello, Rei."

"H-hello, Commander."

Gendo quickly took notice of the food in Rei's hand, but for entirely different reasons.

"I never knew you liked tangerines," he said, barely raising his voice in interest. "When did you start to like them?"

"A few days ago," Rei replied frankly; "A new student came to Ashford, and I was chosen to bring him his welcome basket."

Gendo leered at her a little. "Go on."

"He gave me one from the basket and showed me how to peel it."

"...I see."

Rei sensed Gendo's displeasure, but felt powerless to do anything. But as soon as she took another bite of the fruit, her worry melted away again. Silence between them followed, with only the sounds of Rei's chewing and the whirring of the elevator's mechanisms filling the air. After swallowing her last bite, she turned to her superior, hoping to ask him something.

"Commander..."

Before she could even ask her question, the elevator opened again.

"This is my floor," Shinji's father said coldly. With that, Gendo got off the elevator as well, leaving Rei alone again. She wondered why the commander seemed so annoyed about her meeting other people...if he didn't want that to happen, why did he not simply keep her here at NERV headquarters?

Rei looked at her hand and saw that her tangerine was all finished, except for the slice lying on the ground. Something deep within the girl compelled her to pick up the tangerine slice, wipe the flecks of dirt off onto her uniform and pop it into her mouth. One thing was for sure – she wanted to see that new student again and find out his name...

And that's it for the first of them. Now, as I stated before, here are the rules for requesting specific scenes or character interactions:

1. All requests must be done by PM. If you're going to write a review, don't just write one so you can make a request.

2. In your request, state the characters you want me to use, when the interaction takes place, where it takes place, the general tone of the event (funny, serious, etc.) and a short description (probably no more than 50 to 60 words) of what you want to take place. Please read SUPER ROBOT WARS U (which is hosted on this very site) before making a request.

3. Your event/interaction must take place at a point in the story that has already occurred.

4. The characters you want to have interact must have been able to interact (i.e. on same battleship, same locale, etc.), so events that place during route splits can only include characters from series involved in said route split. I will NOT use your OCs. PERIOD.

5. Try to keep the number of characters in your scenario to no more than four or five, but I might do requests that have six or more if I really like them.

So, get those idea juices flowing, because I'm itching for scenes!
