Stop Your self control

And she got a car? Wait what the hell?

Sitting there at their normal lunch table, the whole Eva gang sat having their lunch… well that is except for Rei. She sat there with her face crammed in a book.

"Rei I know finals are coming up. I know you're the smartest student in this school…. Hell in all the area. So why are you cramming for a test that's two weeks away?" Kensuke asked.

"I do not wish to fall behind." She replied, face still in the book.

Kensuke shook his head. "Rei please give me the book and eat something. Look I've picked up watermelon…."

Rei lowered the book and looked over at the melon, then shook her head. "Bribes will not work."

Kensuke then let a heavy sigh escape. "Oh well…. Looks like I have to eat this whole melon I got last night; my self."

The first person to learn of Rei's love for watermelon was Misato. When Rei had first moved in with her, Shinji and Asuka. Misato noticed that Rei hit the books pretty hard during the times finals where coming. Rei would even drive her self to the point of passing out. Then on day Misato had brought Rei with her on shopping for food. While Misato shopped for food, Rei fallowed behind, and her face in a book. Then While Misato was looking at the list Shinji had given her, she noticed that Rei was no longer looking at her book. But at a nice ripe watermelon.

"Is it going to work this time?" Asuka whispered to Shinji.

Shinji placed his finger over his lips, shhhhing Asuka.

"Don't you shhh me!" Ordered Asuka.

Then Shinji turned around and placed his finger on to her lips, making her stop talking right away.

"Sssshhh, quite please." Shinji whispered. Then he patted her on the head.

"There you did it again!"

This time Shinji then whispered something in to Asuka's ear making her shut up instantly.

"What do you think he said to her?" Hikari asked Toji.

Quickly chewing up the food that was in his mouth, he replied. "He probably told her he was going to cut her off."

"From what?" Hikari asked, tilting her head slightly. Then she thought about it. "Oh… Never mind."

"You wouldn't?" Asuka asked.

Shinji just nodded.

Just then Anata came up behind them. "Um excuse me guys, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for yesterday. I don't know the whole story, so I shouldn't have had said anything. So if you'd let me give it another try, can I join you guys here for lunch?"

Asuka just sat there, looking at Anata. Then shruggered her shoulders. "It's fin with me. Do what ever you want."

Hikari and Toji moved over to make room for Anata. When she sat down she looked up at Asuka. "It means a lot… I've always lived in Kyoto…. So I don't know anyone here."

"Anyways Hikari, and I have the rest of the day off and we need to be some where." Asuka said as she stood up from the table. "I'll love to chat, but we've got to get going, it's a long walk from the train station."

"I'll see you later Toji." Hikari said as she and Asuka walked off. Anata turned to Shinji with a questioning look.

"And that was about?"

Shinji shrugged his shoulders. "She's like that some times… "

Kensuke nodded. "Yeah, No offence Shinji…."

"None taken."

"… Asuka is a little off." Kensuke finished saying. Kensuke then looked over at the melon that was in front of Rei. It was gone. "Rei?"

Rei didn't answer; she just kept her book in front of her.

"Rei?" Kensuke asked again. This time he got her to lower the book.

"Yes?" Rei asked back. "I am studying."

"The watermelon; where is it?" Kensuke asked.

Rei simply brought her book back up. "I know not of what you speak of."

A watermelon seat stuck there on the corner of her mouth. Kensuke plucked it from Rei. "Oh really?"

Anata giggled. "And their story?" she asked Shinji, pointing at the couple across from her.

"They've been seeing each other for a while." He replied.

Later on that day…

Walking through endless rows of shipping crates, Hikari fallowed Asuka with a crowbar in hand. "Are you sure we're allowed to be here?" She asked. "I mean isn't this the type of place girls our age shouldn't be at?"

Asuka looked up from a sheet of paper. "What afraid some one's going to jump out and do all sorts of bad things to us?"

"Yeah! Kind of!"

"This is it." Asuka announced. "Hikari, crowbar please."

Hikari sighed as she handed the crowbar to her friend. "Why don't you just use the key that the guy handed you?"

Asuka placed the flat end of the crowbar in between the large crate and its lock. And started to pull. "Now…. What…. Would be the….. fun in that…. " Asuka replied. "Here give me a hand."

Together the two girls started to pull at the crowbar, and then there was a loud clinging sound, telling them that the lock was busted. Asuka then handed the crowbar back to Hikari and opened the crate. When the two huge doors opened, Asuka's friend raised an eye brawl. "What's that?"

"Just what dose it look like?" Asuka asked back, but answered before Hikari could. "It's a car, a 1998 BMW M3. This is Germen possession engineering at its greatest!"

"Uh… Asuka, you're not thinking about starting that racing stuff Shinji dose. Are you?" Asked Hikari with a heavy sigh.

"Of course not!" The red head replied. "A BMW is a status symbol, and a popular, attractive woman such as my self should have one."

"But not to be mean, but it's old." Hikari pointed out. "Don't they make newer ones?"

"Sure they do, but like fine wines, BMW's only get better with age." Asuka said. "Now come on lets get this thing out of here."

"Do you know how to even drive?"

"Sure I to…. If Shinji and that lush Misato can. This should be easy for me!"

Else where at the other end of town, Shinji sneezed. Shinji rubbed his nose. "Huh… guess the cold is starting to get to me…. "

Shinji, Toji and Kensuke had few places where they can get away from the normal problems of Shinji, work and most of all Woman problems. One such place is the basement of Toji's place. And this was even more rare because it was a basement. Almost all Japanese homes has no basements, mainly because of the earthquakes, but when the angles where around this addition to Toji's place acted as a shelter. But now after the angles, it acts as an extra room.

"Nah… She demon is probably talking trash about you." Toji replied.

Shinji just shrugged his shoulders.

"So… Toji man?" Kensuke asked. "How much did this games cost?"

Toji then handed the controller to Shinji. "Something like fifty yen….. The guy said he was going to throw it out."

"Not bad for a pre second impact games." Kensuke stated.

Hearing a cell phone ring in the tune of 'A Cruel Angel's Thesis', Toji and Kensuke looked over at Shinji. Knowing that he was the only one that had a phone with that tune.

Pulling out the phone out of his pocket, Shinji looked at the Caller ID. It read Asuka.

"So are you going to answer it?" Kensuke asked.

Shinji shook his head. "Nope, she'll only let it ring three times."

Then the ringing stopped.

"See, when she calls she'll only let it ring three times. Then she'll get annoyed, hang up and call again in three, two, and one." Shinji pointed at the phone then like on command it rang again in the same tune as before, and like before the caller ID read Asuka.

"So you going to answer this time?" Toji asked.

Again Shinji shook his head. "She'll leave a voice mail."

"After it rings three times?" Kensuke asked, now starting to wonder about this madness Shinji was speaking of.

"See I learned early on in this relationship if she calls me, there's something normally wrong. And that will lead me to getting my head bitten off for something that I didn't even do. So I let her call me twice and leave a voice mail. Thus letting her cool down." Shinji answered his friend in a matter of fact tone.

Toji shook his head. "Shinji you are wise beyond your days."

Toji and Kensuke watched as Shinji called Asuka back.

"Hello Asuka, I didn't get to my phone in time. What's going on?"

Shinji nodded a couple times. "You don't say, you got a car? I'm happy for you."

Again Shinji nodded his head a couple times but this time with an uh huh attached to his nods. "And there was this grinding sound? With some smoke? And the car suddenly stopped?"

This time Shinji tilted his head as Asuka yelled something back at him. "Okay calm down…. Okay, Okay I can tell you're calm." Shinji looked at Toji and Kensuke shaking his head that she's not calmed down. "Okay just look under the car and tell me what you see."

Shinji then covered the mouth peace to the phone. "She's looking….. What was that?" he asked back to Asuka. "Okay, I'll be there to pick you two up and I'll call a tow truck along the way. Okay see you in a little bit."

Hanging up the phone, Shinji went about grabbing his things. Then looked over at his two friends. "She dropped the transmissition."

T.B.C.

A/N: Okay you guys sorry about taking soooo long with the up date. My laptop sadly got a really bad virus, pretty much putting it out for good. So I had to get a new computer. But now that I'm back up and running, the up dates should be coming back to normal.
