Chapter 02: 1, 2, 3
01: Clean up the entire house.
Shinji Ikari raised an arm as he looked down at his handiwork. While he normally did this as a chore or escape, this was the first time he'd seriously thrown himself into it.
"Wark!"
"I know, Pen Pen! Shinji-kun's on fire today!" Misato Katsuragi, dressed in a simple shirt and hot pants.
Shinji sighed and blushed while looking away from her. Once again, Misato had foregone the use of a bra in her civilian wear, which highlighted her large perky boobs with stiff nipples from the AC.
Shinji stood aside and hummed, facing the wall to the next apartment.
"Misato-san?" Shinji called to his guardian. "Our neighbors moved out right?"
"Yup." Misato downed another can and tossed it into a nearby bin before continuing. "Due to all the Angel attacks, Tokyo-3's been losing more and more residents. There's practically no one else in the building but us, especially after that really bad one with Lelie- Ah."
Misato put a hand to her mouth, gazing worriedly at Shinji but he hadn't even acknowledged her pause.
"Since there's no one but us here, we can expand!" Shinji murmured excitedly, simultaneously worrying and relieving Misato. "Misato-san! I need a sledgehammer please! And some bombs, too!"
Now, there was a lot of worry with a side of confusion. Misato specifically dropped the can she just opened and pushed it aside. "Um... Why do you need bombs?"
"To open a hole to the next apartment." Shinji readily answered. "There are several rooms in there we can use!"
Misato racked up the pros and cons. On the pro side, this not only meant more space without having to pay for it but also more of Shinji newfound but well deserved happiness. On the con side, was she really considering handing over some bombs to Shinji?
"...I'm pretty sure there some old dynamite we've still got." Misato got up and stretched, doing interesting things to her chest which necessitated Shinji to adjust his pants. "It not at NERV so I don't really have to change at all."
"Ok!" Shinji waved away.
When she returned, Shinji was waiting with face masks and hard helmets for three of them, with Pen Pen in his fridge and Asuka arguing with him.
"Why are you complaining, Asuka?" Shinji said as he prepped for demolition. "I thought you of all people would be happy for more space."
"Shut up, Baka Shinji!" Asuka yelled. "Don't presume to know what I want!"
Shinji just sighed, finishing up as Misato entered.
"Fire in the hole!"
The marked section of the wall was blown off, revealing the empty apartment. Thanks to the dynamite, the damage was minimal enough for Shinji to clean it up himself.
"It's fine, Misato-san." Shinji ignored Misato's offer of help and got to work immediately. "Right now, I've got so much energy that I can't deal with."
No one saw it at the time but Shinji's eyes flickered red as he strode forward, hefting the surprisingly light sledgehammer. If Misato and Asuka's eyes widened at how he used it one handedly, he was completely oblivious.
Two hours later, Shinji had moved out of his closet into a proper room again, with plans to invite Rei over. She'd been in that horrible apartment for long enough.
02: Drink beer and laze around the house with Pen Pen all day (or get dragged into a Drinking Game).
Shinji downed another of Misato's cans, dropping it amongst the others on the table. Beside him were Rei and Asuka.
He had simply planned to drink in peace with Pen Pen in comfort and general laziness but Asuka thought differently and dragged Rei into it as well. She had never really approved of Rei moving in with them.
After five cans, Asuka had gained a small blush while Shinji and Rei looked completely fine. Asuka accepted that Shinji might have come back 'weirder' from Leliel but was shocked at how Rei's visage hadn't changed at all.
After ten cans, Asuka was slurring while Shinji had a small blush on his face. Rei simply drank her twelfth in silence.
"Alright, I'm calling bullshit. There is no way Wundergirl's alcohol tolerance is that good!" Asuka declared, slamming her can to the table.
Rei raised an eyebrow. "Why not?"
"There's no way a doll like you could have such unnatural tolerance like this!"
"Then simply accept that it is unnatural, Pilot Sohryu." Rei stated, downing her thirteenth in an instant.
Shinji ignored them and groaned, reaching for his can. He wanted to experience the black out that Toji often talked about and Misato surprisingly rarely dealt with. God bless that Vixen's liver. Thankfully, she was out right now would be still be gone for a while.
After fifteen cans, Asuka had successfully blacked out, while Shinji deliriously placed his head onto Rei's lap.
"Your thighs feel nice, Ayanami." Shinji said drunkenly, blushing as he rubbed his face onto her bare legs, appreciating her scent.
"Thank you, Ikari-kun." Rei finished her twentieth, idly running her fingers through Shinji's hair as he fell into slumber. She blinked as Pen Pen handed her a spare can, with another already in his spare flipper.
She nodded her thanks and proceeded to down it in one go, making the penguin nod at her in approval. For the first time, her Angelic modifications had aided her outside battle.
Rei (Artificial Human/Angel hybrid): First Place
Shinji (?): Second Place
Asuka (Human): Third Place
03: Ride a Motorcycle.
Shinji nervously revved his motorcycle. Misato and Ritsuko Akagi were also present, with Misato on her own bike.
"Good. Very good." Misato encouraged with a thumbs up. "You can go a little heavier on the throttle, Shinji-kun. You don't wanna stall. Now, let's get moving!"
"R-Right." Shinji eased forward a little as Misato moved ahead, slowly keeping in pace.
"That's great! Now give it a little more gas."
"I feel like we're forgetting something important." Ritsuko murmured as she looked at the spectacle with a sense of foreboding.
When Misato had mentioned Shinji's List, while most of the staff were relieved at his improved mental state and joked about adding to it like his friends had, Ritsuko was concerned about the driving question 'What happens when He finishes all hundred? Would he kill himself on the spot or throw himself into suicidal charges against the Angels?'
Well, considering SEELE's plans and Gendo Ikari's counter plans, she would at least do her best to grant the boy some well deserved happiness.
Shinji, back in a familiar state of panic, pulled back too much, which resulted in his bike shooting forward at a speed he definitely couldn't handle as his screams confirmed.
"Too much gas, Shinji-kun!" Misato yelled as the Third Child raced out of the park and into the road.
'Now I remember.' "Misato, did you teach Shinji-kun how to work the brakes?"
"...Ah."
Shinji screamed as he sped down the empty hilly road, dodging random potholes and obstacles with a screwy combination of acquired reflexes and dumb luck.
As he bumped into the tarmac road, he found himself dodging cars now, drawing random yells from anyone who recognized him and curses from those who didn't.
Asuka's jaw dropped as Shinji sped past her and Ryoji Kaji, the ponytailed man whistling in approval at the sight.
"Damn, that brings back great memories."
Shinji screamed again as he entered a rough road again, drifting with enough force to send up huge dust clouds in his wake.
Rei Ayanami was randomly taking a stroll along the beach, just idly watching the Bloody Sea when she heard the Third Child's ever familiar screaming. Although, something sounded different about it now.
Rei's only response to a Shinji barreling towards her on a motorcycle was to slightly widen her eyes and then jump up in the air to avoid the bike and slam into Shinji directly.
Shinji, who had been drilled by Misato to never release his hands from the bike handles, yelped as the bike's center point shifted, causing him and Rei, who was now hugging his front and causing him a different (hormonal) kind of stress, to tip back and carry the bike's front wheel upwards as they entered back into the city.
As he went into the wheelie that the rider miraculously held, Shinji called out to Rei. "Ayanami! Please don't hug me like this! You're too distracting!"
"Ikari-kun." Rei didn't yell like him, but still managed to to be heard over the noise. "I cannot. If I disengage, I am likely to be injured and you would be saddened by that."
"Ah, that's true." Shinji gritted his teeth as he put the bike down, the memory of Rei in too many bandages scouring his mind.
"Plus, judging by your biological reaction," Rei looked downwards at where her crotch sat above his. "You seem pleased."
Shinji blushed heavily, sputtering denials to a stoic Rei as the bike went haywire again and jumped up a random ramp, somehow drifting across a billboard with someone's face on it. It would later be reported as one of the few billboards of Gendo publicized.
No one would care about the damage to it other than Shinji and Rei, not even Gendo himself.
Ryoji blinked in surprise as Shinji sped past again with Rei aboard now. "Wow. Now I'm really getting flashbacks to my university days!"
Asuka's jaw dropped even further now, being unresponsive until Misato sped past with Ritsuko aboard. "Evening, Asuka-chan!"
Asuka finally snapped at that. "Fuck! What gives Baka Shinji the right to be so lame for so long only to suddenly do something totally awesome?! I haven't even ridden a bike myself, you dummkopf!"
"Knowing your competitive spirit," Ryoji pulled up a nearby rope, tying it to the nearby pole and held it slack. "That's not gonna hold for long."
As Shinji and Rei sped by a third time, he suddenly pulled the rope taut, snagging the First and Third Children off the motorcycle, leaving it to careen off on it's own and explode brilliantly against a parked tanker.
As Shinji and Rei hung limply on the rope, Misato and Ritsuko finally arrived.
"Alright! Great practice run! Now let's do it again one more time!" Misato blinked as everyone stared at her in shock. "What? I'm being supportive and encouraging."
