A few minutes later, Shinji was out of bed and dressed. He walked out with Rei and Asuka to a cliff where they could see all of Tokyo 3.

"Wow. They had to rebuild it twice?" Asuka sighs.

"Yes. Due to the second impact and Angel attacks its been rebuilt twice." Rei explains.

"People must really care about this city." Asuka sits in the grass.

"Its because people have hope that this city won't go down. People relied on us to keep it up." Shinji smiles.

"They used to rely on us. Now they have no use for us and I'll probably be sent back to Europe." Asuka lays back.

"It's your decision. They can't make you go if you don't want to." Rei sits.

"Why do you care?" Asuka says grumpily.

Rei puts on a mad expression.

Asuka sighs and closes her eyes. "Right..."

"Something wrong?" Shinji sits.

Asuka growls. "Its none of your business, Stupid Shinji."

"Okay geez... Calm down. I was just asking." Shinji sighs.

"I know Japan is small and there is barely any privacy or room to sleep, but I'm getting used to it. If I went back to Europe now, I don't think I could handle so much space." Asuka smiles.

"That's all?" Shinji asks.

"Well... And another reason I can't say."

"Come on. We're friends. You can tell me." Shinji sits straight, looking at Asuka.

"Didn't I tell you to mind your damn business!?" Asuka yells.

"Right! Sorry..." Shinji rubs the back of his neck.

"Ice cream anyone?" Rei holds out a couple of ice cream bars.

"What!? When the hell did you get those?" Shinji's eyes widen.

"I bought them when you weren't watching."

Asuka takes one. "It doesn't matter when she got it. What matters is she got it! Mmm~ Ice cream..." She pulls the wrapper off and eats the bar slowly.

Shinji takes one and starts eating one too and so does Rei.

"Ah man. I forgot how delicious ice cream was..." Shinji smiles.

Rei sits and eats quietly. Asuka glances at her and mimics her.

"Why are you two so quiet? I expect it from you, Rei, but Asuka. Is something wrong? You can tell me." Shinji says, concerned.

"For the third fucking time... Mind your own damn business, Stupid Shinji! It doesn't concern you!" Asuka yells, aggrevated.

"Okay fine. Rei, what's wrong with Asuka?" Shinji asks.

Asuka hits Shinji on the head.

Rei sighs. "I'll tell you later..."
