Announcer: "...And now, a musical interlude."

[Suggested music: "A Cruel Angel's Thesis"]
The opening title sequence of Neon Genesis Evangelion began playing, like it normally did...
Zankoku na tenshi no you ni
Shounen yo shinwa ni nare...
...Until fifteen seconds in, when a familiar music video came on instead.
[Suggested music: "Never Gonna Give You Up"]
Freakazoid then appeared, dressed like Rick Astley. An extremely dumbfounded Ritsuko and Misato found themselves in the place of the two blonde back-up dancers/singers in the same video.
Freak Astley:
We're no strangers to love...
You know the rules, and so do I!
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of.
You wouldn't get this from any other guy...
Kaji, just as dumbfounded, found himself playing the role of the music video's bartender.
IIIIII just wanna tell you how I'm feeling...
Gotta make you understand...
At that point, all three former college friends sighed and gave themselves a face-palming, realizing they'd wound up falling for the oldest internet trick in the book:
Rickrolling.
Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you!
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you!

Announcer: "This concludes our musical interlude. We now return to our story."
**Author's Note(s)**
Yes, loyal readers, you have been royally Rickrolled. I just thought that this would be the sort of thing Freakazoid would find amusing, and if you look hard enough, there are definitely some EVA/Rickroll videos out there on the web. The key is which are of the nicer quality.
