Anyway, there aren't any spoilers, unless you aren't up to the part where Asuka joins the crew. I wrote this story because I think PenPen deserves a bigger role. PenPen, of course, is the lovable penguin who lives with Misato. But don't worry, the whole series is not just about PenPen. This is part one in a series of I don't know how many. So enough with the chit chat, now I present, "PenPen to the Rescue".
The sounds of yelling were coming from Misato's apartment in Tokyo-3.
"What!?", yelled Asuka furiously, "Why can't I take a short vacation to Germany! It's Oktoberfest, I've gone to every single one since I can remember!"
"We need to have all EVA pilots at NERV right now. The next angel can attack at any second!", replied Misato firmly.
"You let Shinji go to that resort for the weekend!"
"That wasn't a resort! That was the NERV hospital! And he wouldn't have had to go there if it wasn't for you attacking him!"
"He had it coming to him! I was only defending myself. He was trying to feel me up!"
"He was turned the other way! You kicked him in the back!"
"Details, details, details…"
The phone rang. Misato picked it up to answer. "Hello?", she said into the phone.
Her face looked confused as she listened to the voice on the other line. She held the receiver away from her face and called, "PenPen, it's for you?"
PenPen came out of his room. Misato bent over to hand it to him. PenPen began squawking happily into the phone as he went back into his room and closed the door.
Misato and Asuka just stood their with confused looks on their faces.
A little bit later at NERV headquarters, the three children were preparing for a test. Misato was briefing them. "Today we are testing the AJF780, a new vehicle that you may have to use someday.", she explained.
"Why would we fight in this hunk of junk when we have our EVA's?", said Asuka.
"These aren't combat vehicles. They are to be used to escape in case of an emergency. You are too important to risk, since you may be mankinds only hope.", said Misato.
"No way am I leaving my unit 2 here!", yelled Asuka, "If it's going down, I'm going down with it!"
"This is only for extreme emergencies where the EVA's are either destroyed or rendered useless. We can always try to build more EVA's. Finding pilots is harder."
Shinji, Rei, and Asuka were sitting in the cockpit of the AJF780. The vehicle was about the height of a onestory building and about as long as a fighter jet. Asuka was in the pilot seat while Rei and Shinji were behind her. Misato's voice came on over the intercom. "You will be launched directly into Tokyo-3. Please get out of the metropolitan area first thing, so you can have more room to practice maneuverability.", Misato said "When you are ready to switch pilots, remember to put it on hover mode. Ready Asuka?"
"Ready as I'll ever be! Let's rock and ride!", she said into the intercom.
An electronic voice said, "Opening departure gates in 5…4…3…2…1…We are ready to…"
Before the voice could finish it's sentence, the ship blasted off up through the tunnel and into Tokyo-3. "Yeehaw!", yelled Asuka, "Now that's what I call a rush!"
"Asuka, are you sure you're supposed to be going that fast? You might hit a building…or worse!", said Shinji.
"Stop worrying! You worry to much. Just hang on and enjoy the ride!", Asuka said, "You never see Rei worrying. How you doing back there, Rei?"
"I am well, ma'am.", Rei replied quietly.
"See? Happy as a clam!", Asuka said, "Hey, check this out!"
Asuka did a loop with the AJF780.
"I think I'm going to vomit…", said Shinji, who was turning green.
"Just not in here buddy!", said Asuka, "Hey, aren't those your little buddies down there?"
Touji and Kensuke were eating lunch at a ramen stand. Kensuke looked up and saw the ship, causing him to spit noodles on Touji. "Kensuke, you better have a good explanation for this.", said Touji, covered in ramen noodles.
"Lo-Lo-Look behind you!", Kensuke yelled.
"I'm not falling for your jokes this easily."
"No! I'm serious! There's some kind of huge hovercraft right behind you!"
"Yeah right, and Rei Ayanami was voted best personality."
"And it looks like Asuka is sticking her head out the window!"
Touji, angrily grabbed Kensuke's collar and pulled him across the table. "You little liar," Touji said, "I wouldn't believe you even if I heard her say…"
"Hey fellas!", Asuka yelled from the hovercraft, "Wanna go for a ride?"
Touji almost fainted with surprise. "I'll lower the entry port for you!", Asuka called back down to them.
Back in the cockpit, Misato's voice reappeared on the intercom. "Asuka, what are you thinking!? You can't let hitchhikers on an official NERV vehicle!"
"It was all Shinji's idea, they're his friends!", Asuka replied.
"What!?", said a shocked Shinji.
"Now where's the intercom off switch?", Asuka said.
"Now listen young lady, the AJF780 has a tracking device, we'll find you no matter what!", Misato yelled angrily, "And further more…"
Asuka flipped the intercom off switch. Touji and Kensuke climbed into the cockpit. Kensuke was excitedly scanning the cockpit with his video camera. "Hey Shinji! Thanks for inviting us for the ride!", said Touji.
"I didn't invite you! In fact, I insist we turn around and go back to NERV before we get in even bigger trouble!", Shinji said, annoyed at Asuka.
Asuka flipped the tracking system switch to off. "Calm down third child! We'll return the ship in one piece! Oktoberfest here we come!", Asuka said, as they zoomed off out of Tokyo-3.
Misato sat by her desk with her head in her hands. Ritsuko approached to comfort her. "It was beyond your control. There was nothing you could do.", said Ritsuko.
"You're just trying to be nice. I failed miserably. Asuka I should have expected this from, but Shinji?", said Misato, "Maybe I was too mean to Asuka before. Now they've run away and it's all my fault. What if an angel attacks now? We'd be hopeless."
"Don't worry, I'm sure they'll be back real soon and we can all forget this ever happened. This is her way of rebelling. She just needs a little bit to cool off. In fact, I remember a pair of lovebirds who ran away together for a whole week…"
"That was totally different! I didn't know any better back then. And I don't think this is the best time to bring up Kagi"
"Did I hear my name mentioned?", said Kagi, as if he had popped up from nowhere, "My, my you 2 look lovely. How about a menage a trois?"
"How about you leave and have a menage a une!", said an irritated Misato.
"Touche, mon amour.", replied Kagi, "Say Misato, doesn't this remind you of something?"
"Listen you pig headed idiot, you tricked me into running away with you! I was young and naïve!"
"Oh you wanted it bad, baby."
"I did not!"
"And I think you want some right now…"
"Do you have a death wish you ignorant, lying, sack of…"
"I think I'll leave you 2 alone now," said Ritsuko, giggling as she walked away.
Meanwhile back on the AJF780, which was flying somewhere over the ocean, Asuka was singing "Fly Me to the Moon", while Shinji, Touji, and Kensuke held their fingers in their ears. "Are you sure you know where you're going?", said Shinji.
"I only lived there for the first 13 years of my life! All we need to do is find Europe and Germany will be a snap!", said Asuka, "Don't you have faith in me?"
"To tell the truth not really!", said Shinji.
"That makes 2 of us!", added in Touji.
"What about you Kensuke?", asked Asuka. After not getting a response, whe repeated her question.
"Where's Kensuke?", she finally asked, confused.
"Hey guys! This shot's going to be awesome!", yelled Kensuke, who was hanging halfway out the window filming the ocean.
Shinji and Touji immediately jumped up to help Kensuke out of the window. But Rei didn't move. She looked scared. "I have a bad feeling," said Rei.
"Why do you have to always be so negative? A bad feeling about what?", said Asuka.
"I don't know.", she replied, almost in a whisper.
Meanwhile, workers back in Japan were busy drilling into the Earth in a spot in the woods not too far from Tokyo-3. The foreman was looking at a blueprint. "Hey Sami!", he called to his assistant, "Get over here!"
"Yes boss?", said Sami, who was next to his boss almost immedietly.
"Do you have any idea what this is? Look at these blue prints."
"I haven't the slightest idea. It's supposed to be top secret."
"Well go fetch me the guy who is hiring us. I want to have a word with him."
Sami ran off. The foreman was still pondering the blueprints. Sami soon returned with Dr. Ikari. "What exactly are we building here?", asked the foreman.
"That information is classified," replied Dr. Ikari, "I need to be leaving right now, I have important work to do."
Suddenly, they heard a rumbling, and then felt the ground begin to shake. All the workers froze as it got more intense. "What the hell is that?" said the foreman loudly.
Dr. Ikari began running away as fast as he could. As he ran, he took out his cell phone and pressed auto dial. "This is Ikari," he said into the phone, "We have an angel attack by the NERV Headquarters II construction sight. Send all EVA units available ASAP!"
A huge angel pooped up from the ground. It was about the size of 2 EVAs. It had a huge eye that took up most of it's head, and 2 huge tentacles that took the place of it's arms. It's chest appeared to be one giant mouth , full of sharp teeth. Workers were running in panic. Ikari dropped his cell phone in panic and dashed towards his helicopter.
As Ikari got into his helicopter, he saw the angel grab a huge crane and squash it with it's tentacle. The foreman ran up to the helicopter door. "I beg, you please, let me in! Let me in!", cried the foreman.
Ikari slammed the door shut and the helicopter took off, leaving the foreman behind.
Back at NERV, the red alert signal was blaring. Misato was on the phone yelling at the Navy. "What do you mean you can't find them?!", yelled Misato, "They have to be somewhere! I told you, the ship can block radar! I don't care how you find them, just find them!"
Misato slammed down the phone. A technician ran up to her. "Misato! Misato!", he said, "What are we going to do?"
"Pray", she said quietly.
Meanwhile in Misato's apartment, PenPen was bathing in the bath tub along with 2 beautiful women. He was sipping a glass of champagne, as the deep sounds of Barry White played in the background. "Oh PenPen, you are the greatest. You're not like all the other guys. You know how to satisfy a woman in ways that other men can't."
PenPen let out a squawk. Then, the phone rang. After a few more rings, the answering machine came on. "Asuka! Shinji!", Misato said over the answering machine, "This is Misato! If you are hiding out here, report to NERV immediately! There is an angel attack! Hurry!"
PenPen, hearing that the message was over, jumped out of the bathtub and rubbed himself dry with a towel. "PenPen, come back in, the water's warm.", said one of the women.
PenPen strapped on his rocket pack, walked to the window and launched off. The women stayed in the tub, obviously disappointed.
Back in the AJF780, Asuka was flying with one hand and reading a map with the other.
"So, are we in Germany yet?", joked Touji.
"I think we might be possible almost there," replied Asuka.
"Well we better be, for it looks like we're out of fuel!", said Shinji, pointing to the empty fuel meter.
"Dammit!", yelled Asuka, "What are we going to do now?"
"I don't know, this was your crazy idea, Captain Asuka!", yelled back Shinji.
"Land ho!", said Kensuke, looking out of the window, "I see some sort of city at 9 o'clock!"
"Then that's where we're going!", said Asuka, and began shifting towards the city.
As they came closer, they realized the city was much bigger than they imagined. "Hey, what's that big statue?" asked Shinji.
"That looks like the Statue of Liberty. It was destroyed in the second impact and then rebuilt. That means that we must be in New York City!", said Asuka.
"I think we might not make it!", said Kensuke.
Their altitude was decreasing rapidly. "What are we going to do!", yelled Asuka in panic.
"All I can say is I hope you like water!", said Kensuke.
The ship crashed into the water, making a huge splash.
Back at NERV, Misato was pacing back and forth. Ritsuko walked up to her. "The angel has reached Tokyo-3. Should we abandon headquarters?", Ritsuko asked.
"It looks like we have no other choice," said Misato.
Then, she felt a tugging at her dress. She looked down to see PenPen.
"How did you get in here? You know you aren't supposed to be here.", she asked surprised to see him here.
PenPen began squawking and flapping his wings around excitedly. "Cancel the evacuation," Misato said, "We have a pilot!"
"You can't be serious! A penguin can't pilot an EVA!", said Ritsuko, "We tested PenPen back when we first started the project and he couldn't synchronize!"
"If you don't remember, the first few times we tested Rei, she wouldn't synchronize either! Besides, doesn't PenPen have the same thing in common that Rei, Shinji, and Asuka have? There's no reason why he can't pilot an EVA."
"This is crazy!"
"But it's crazy enough to work…"
Meanwhile, the angel was working his way through the city. Some of the buildings were stuck halfway through while lowering into the ground. The angel smashed them with his tentacles. A gun raised from the ground and began firing, so the angel smashed the gun to pieces with ease.
Back underground, PenPen was being inserted into Unit 1. Misato stood by the window, waiting to his if he'd synchronize correctly. "He synchronizes!", said the surprised technician, "Nowhere near as good as the regular pilots, but he can operate it much better than the average person."
"We are ready to launch," said Misato.
On the surface, an emergency van was driving around blaring, "Evacuate the area! Evacuate the area! We have an emergency situation!"
As the van turned the corner, it came face to face with the angel. The van began to back up as fast as it could but the angel was in hot pursuit. The angel's tentacle was just about to get the van, when it was distracted by gunshots to it's back. It was PenPen in Unit 1!
The angel turned around and began charging at Unit 1 furiously, but it leaped over the reach of the huge tentacles. As it landed behind the angel, the EVA drew it's sword, and stabbed the angels back.
The angel roared with pain, and reached behind itself with a tentacle and grabbed the EVA and swung it back around. It launched the EVA as far away as it could and then charged at it to finish it off. As it approached the fallen EVA, it lashed at it with a tentacle, that the EVA sliced off with it's sword.
The angel writhed around in pain, but not for long as it soon grabbed hold of the EVA with it's other tentacle and swallowed most of it, crunching on it with it's huge fangs. The power supply was suddenly disconnected, and only a minute of power was left!
Suddenly, the EVA's fist punched through the back of the angel, and leaped out soaked with yellowish saliva. As the angel lay there on it's back, the EVA flew at with it's sword in hand. It swiftly dodged the deadly tentacle, and lunged it's sword into the eye of the beast, triggering a gigantic explosion.
As the smoke cleared the EVA walked away triumphant, until it collapsed from power loss.
Back in NERV, everyone was celebrating the success. "PenPen's a hero!", yelled Misato proudly. They all watched on the moniter as PenPen got out of the EVA and let out a squawk. Everyone cheered excitedly.
Meanwhile, was in the hologram meeting room, speaking to the board.
"You let a penguin pilot an EVA!?", one of the men yelled at Ikari loudly, "What have you been smoking?!"
"That wasn't a penguin. Let me introduce you to…the fourth child.", said Ikari.
"That's a lie and you know it!", yelled the man angrily.
"He destroyed the EVA, isn't that enough?"
"You win this round Ikari, but next time you'll be sorry."
The holograms all disappeared. "Dick," said Ikari to himself.
The hologram of the man appeared again, "I heard that!"
Meanwhile, Shinji, Asuka, Rei, Kensuke, and Touji were climbing out of the water onto a dock. "What now Captain?", said Shinji to Asuka.
"Listen you little…", Asuka yelled angrily before being interrupted by Kensuke.
"Why don't we find someplace where we can sit and rest so we can dry off and figure things out?", said Kensuke.
"Good idea, let's go!", said Shinji.
A little bit later, they were all in a bar drinking sodas, still wet from the water. Shinji, Kensuke, and Touji were all sitting together, and Rei was a few seats down.
"Where's Asuka?", said Shinji.
"Probably in the bathroom drying off.", said Touji, "So do you have any ideas on what to do now?"
"I guess we can call NERV and tell them where we are.", said Shinji.
"Hey you guys, what kind of bar is this?", said Kensuke, "I've never seen one like it. What is this? A stage?"
His question was answered as a stripper walked out onto the stage and began dancing erotically. "A strip club!", said Shinji, "With strippers!"
Kensuke had his camera posed at the stripper and Touji was staring with his tongue hanging out.
"What kind of woman would do something like this?", said Shinji.
Asuka jumped out from behind the curtain wearing barely nothing. Shinji, Touji, and Kensuke screamed. "Now here's a traditional German dance always done at Oktoberfest!", said Asuka.
Shinji was still sitting motionless with shock, when he felt a hand on his shoulder. It was a naval officer.
The next day, they were all back in Tokyo-3. Asuka, Shinji, Misato, and PenPen were standing outside of their apartment. PenPen was wearing a badge of honor. "I hope you're happy with yourselves," said Misato.
"We're sorry," said Asuka, "I should have convinced Shinji not to do it."
"At least I didn't make a fool out of myself by…", said Shinji.
"It was all my fault!", said Asuka.
"I thought so.", said Misoto, "Now let's get some rest."
Misato opened the door to see 2 women wearing bathrobes. "PenPen, where were you? We were waiting here for you to get back forever!", said one of the women.
"PenPen!", yelled Misato angrily, as she chased PenPen down the hall.

There are no spoilers in this episode, unless you haven't gotten up to Asuka joining the crew. This is Episode 2. When we last left off in Episode 1, PenPen had saved the day by defeating an Angel by piloting Unit 1. Shinji and Asuka have just returned home from an adventure led by Asuka to get to Oktoberfest, but leading up to a strip bar in New York City. Seele is mad at Dr. Ikari for letting a penguin pilot an EVA, so he lies and tells them that PenPen is the 4th child. Oh yeah, and Kaji is still trying to get laid.
"What the Hell did you just say?", yelled Misato into the phone. Dr. Ritsuko Akagi was on the other side of the phone call.
"I got a memo from Commander Ikari this morning. Seele is giving the Commander heat since PenPen piloted the last mission. To get rid of the heat Commander Ikari told them that PenPen is the 4th child, therefore we need to play along with it, including dressing him up and sending him to school." said Ritsuko.
"This is insane…We can't pass off PenPen as a person, he's a penguin, and I don't think he would want to go… He loves his social life too much. Do you know how many complaints we'd get from those women of his. And I don't think he'd like wearing clothes!"
To Misato's surprise, PenPen walked out his fridge in a pimp outfit with two girls in his arms. Misato cringes as she sees this. "PenPen, how the hell did you get those women in the fridge?", Misato asked. Penpen just gave Misato a wink that said that's my secret.
"Just tell PenPen to show up for school by 8:00 tomorrow, and bring an apple for the teacher!", said Ritsuko.
"We don't have any apples!", said Misato.
"I don't know, use your imagination. See you at NERV. Bye."
Misato hung up the phone. "PenPen, I have some news for you. You begin school tomorrow."
Penpen let out an angry squawk. The women looked at him in disgust. "We're leaving you, PenPen! We thought you were a man, and now we find you are nothing more than a schoolboy!", said the women, who preceded to storm into the fridge and come out with suitcases. Misato gave Penpen a confused look, and Penpen simply shrugged.
The next day at school, Shinji, Touji, and Kensuke were talking. "So what did you think of Asuka's dance at the strip club last night?", said Kensuke.
Next thing Kensuke knew, he had the wind punched out of him by a fuming Asuka who had been standing right behind him.
Hikari said, "What was he talking about?"
Asuka began sweating nervously, until Kensuke jumped in and said, "It was a dream I had last night, and boy oh boy it was a good one!"
Asuka punched him again. She then knelt down close to him and said, "If you ever do that again you will feel the wrath of Asuka!"
Kensuke sat up as she walked away. "What's up her butt today?", said Kensuke.
As the bell rang, all of the students faced forward. The teacher stood up and said, "We have a new student here today, but he's not here yet."
Suddenly, PenPen flew in on his rocket pack. He landed and slapped a fish down on the teachers desk. "Uhhh…", said the teacher, "Why don't you write your name on the board…"
PenPen turned on his rocket pack again and wrote unintelligible blabber on the board, then flew to his seat behind Shinji. Everyone gawked at the sight of their new classmate, to which PenPen responded with a squawk. The teacher walked up to PenPen and squinted. "Boy you are an ugly child," the teacher said, to which PenPen took out another fish and preceded to slap him on the face a few times. Then he ate the fish whole.
The teacher stood up, his face covered in fish. "That's it! Go to detention, PenPen, or whatever the hell your name is!"
PenPen stuck his tongue out at the teacher and flew off the detention.
Misato was using the NERV bathroom. She was sitting in a stall, when she heard a knock on the door. "Need any help in there?", the person said.
"What!?", she screamed, "Who is this!"
"Need any toilet paper? Do you want your toilet seat fluffed?"
"Since when do bathrooms have room service! Wait, Kaji, is this you?"
"But of course…not! Of course not! That's what I meant to say. So do you need any company in there?"
"Kaji get the hell out of here!"
Commander Ikari walked into the bathroom, unnoticed by Kaji.
"I love you! You are my love! Let me make love to you right here, right now! We are kindred spirits!"
Kaji looked behind him to see Commander Ikari with a confused look on his face. Ikari gave a half smile and then slowly walked out.
PenPen waddled into detention slowly. He was the only person in there, besides a very attractive detention supervisor. He sat down in a desk across from the teacher. The teacher, who was reading a magazine, looked up and saw PenPen staring at her. PenPen gave her a sly wink.
Back in the classroom, the teacher was discussing the second impact, when they heard a man scream in the hallway. It turned out it was the principal. He ran up to the classroom and pulled the teacher aside. "There's a bit of a situation in the detention room involving one of your students and the detention teacher…"
The teacher followed the principal to the detention room, to find the detention teacher and PenPen getting dressed. "What the hell!", screamed the teacher, "PenPen you dog!"
The bell rang for lunch. The teacher said, "Just get the dickens outta here! I need to have a discussion with the detention teacher."
"Goodbye Penny!", said the half naked detention teacher to PenPen as he left the room. PenPen turned around to blow a kiss, causing the detention teacher to give a satisfied sigh of happiness.
Misato was standing in the elevator. It stopped and Kaji got in. 'Oh great," she thought to herself.
"Hello beautiful," said Kaji, "Thinking of me?"
"In your dreams Kaji," said Misato.
"Want to do something wild?"
"Not if it's you."
"Come on, we're in the elevator. We're alone. Let's make love…"
Misato gave a sigh. She got a devious idea. "Oh all right," she said, playing along with him, "I just need to get ready first, stay here, and get undressed. I'll be back in 5 minutes."
"I'll be waiting," said Kaji as Misato left the elevator.
As the door closed, she thought to herself, "What a gullible idiot!"
Kaji undressed and waited. And waited. And then waited some more. About 20 minutes later, he finally saw the door opening so he stood in front of it with his arms stretched out. "Let's do it!", he proclaimed as the door opened.
Then he realized that Misato wasn't standing in the door, it was Commander Ikari with a confused grin on his face. "I'll take the next one," said Ikari shyly, and walked away quickly.
Back at school, it was lunch time. Shinji, Touji, Kensuke, and Asuka were sitting at a table by themselves. Everyone else was crowded around PenPen.
"What's it like being an Eva pilot, PenPen?", one girl asked.
"What do you look for in a girlfriend," another one asked.
"Can I have your autograph?", asked another, holding out a piece of paper and pen.
PenPen looked around at all of them and squawked. Everyone began laughing. "Oh PenPen, you're so funny!", said one of the girls.
Back at Shinji's table, Asuka was looking angrily at all the attention PenPen was getting.
"Looks like PenPen is getting pretty popular," said Shinji, looking at PenPen.
Asuka slapped him in the face. "Why do they all love him! Why aren't they paying attention to me! He's a penguin for crying out loud!"
"I guess Penpen is just nice to people," said Touji, "You should try it sometime…"
Penpen then squawked to get Asuka's attention, then tossed a fish at her. She held the fish up disgusted, then hit Touji with it several times.
Later on that day, the now 4 pilots were getting briefed on their new training mission. "We are going to have an indoor EVA training today.", said Misato, "We have a stadium prepared. Penpen, we got a new EVA shipped in today made exactly to your provisions. We are just going to practice basic maneuvers."
"Misato, why does Penpen get to be an EVA pilot?", said Asuka.
"Because while you were out strip dancing, he was fighting the angel."
"How'd you hear about that!"
"It doesn't matter how I got that disgusting video tape, this is not the time nor place to be discussing this. Now go get suited up, it's time to go."
Asuka thought to herself, 'Kensuke is dead!'
The EVA's were launched into a special training stadium built just for them. Penpen was using EVA unit ß, featuring a large beak, specially added on based on Penpen's request. The EVA's began jogging around the track for a warm up. Penpen showed off by running backwards while juggling three tanks.
'That show off!', thought Asuka, 'I'll show him!'
Unit 2 began running on it's hands, but fell on it's face.
"Better get more practice Asuka!", said Shinji.
Penpen proceeded to finish the laps with a triple backflip while still juggling the tanks. Unit 1 applauded. "Go Penpen!", said Shinji.
Asuka growled. She charged at Unit ß and tackled it to the ground. Unit ß kicked Unit 2 off it's body.
"Asuka, what are you doing!", yelled Misato.
"I don't know!", responded Asuka, "The EVA's gone out of control!" But in her mind, Asuka knew that she was lying. She was really attacking Penpen on purpose!
Unit 2 chased after Penpen, but Penpen was faster. Unit 2 did a slide kick to try and destabilize Penpen, but Penpen lept in the air and used Unit 2's head as a trampoline. Unit 1 ran in and tried to hold down Asuka, while Penpen backed down. Asuka threw Shinji to the side and rushed at Penpen. Penpen gave her a head butt to the Eva's center, throwing it to the wall of the stadium. While Unit 2 was stunned, Shinji tore out the power cord to Unit 2. With the rest of it's power, Unit 2 jumped from wall to wall, ending with a flying kick towards Penpen, who used an uppercut to throw Unit 2 through the stadium roof. It landed in a garbage pile as it's power died out. "Asuka, are you ok?", said Shinji.
"Yeah, I'm fine.", she replied.
Penpen squawked through the intercom, and ejected his entry plug. He got out with the teacher from detention. How she got in there, no one knows. What they did in there, nobody wants to know.
Later on, the pilots were sitting in the briefing room. Misato walked through the doors. "According to the tests, nothing went wrong with Unit 2. Asuka, can you explain your actions?"
"Well, I can't explain, but, but…", said Asuka, nervously.
"Do you know the price of the damage you've done is coming out of your allowance!"
"But you don't understand! Nobody understands!" Asuka ran out of the room crying.
Asuka was on the balcony crying. Penpen walked up to her. "What are you looking at?", Asuka said, "You know, you ruined my life!"
"Squawk!", said Penpen, "Squawk, Squawk Squawk Squawk Squawk, Squawk! Squawk Squawk Squawk Squawk, Squawk Squawk… Squawk…"
"That's beautiful…", said Asuka in response to Penpen's words of wisdom, "Do you really mean it?"
Penpen proceeded to slap a fish into her lap. She let out a tear of joy and gave him a hug.
At the other side of Tokyo-3, Kaji heard his doorbell ring. He answered it to see a drunken messenger boy holding a bunch of flowers. "Hic! Sir, I gotta message for you," said the messenger, in a drunken slur.
"What might that message say?", Kaji asked.
"It readsss I neva knew how ya feeled about me until today. Hic! When I saw how you acted and ssshowed ya love Hic!, it lifted my heart. I just want ya da know I feel da ssame waway mameet me at terminal dogma at Hic! midnight, signed, you know whoooo."
"Damn boy, you are drunk. Thanks for the message."
As he slammed the door on the delivery boy, Kaji jumped in the air and screamed, "Finally my Misato has come around, this is the happiest day of my life!".
