A Neon Genesis Evangalion fan fic by Nega-darkwing.

Legal mumbo jumbo: I don't own Eva. Gianex, adv, Star King and a bunch of other

swell people do. This has been written as a non profit work, strictly for my own

enjoyment, and that of other Eva fans, so please don't sue.



Beginning authors note. Ah spring break. While millions of my fellow

college students are getting drunk in Florida, My college is still in class. Go

figure. Anywise I'm going to do something productive during my break and write

this fic, and a few original non Eva ideas of mine. This is not a continuation of my

previous fic, "Stand Tall", nor does it fit into any regular continuity. I'm going to

combine several ideas that I have had into what I hope is a coherent fic. I doubt that

Asuka is going to be in this fic much. Sorry for all you Asuka fans but this is a

Shinji/Rei fic. Hopefully it'll be shorter than my previous fic.



PS- Adding to the debate of what Eva fic writers drink, I prefer Mello Yellow, witch

is much harder to find than Dr. Pepper. And now our feature presentation.

Act 1; Wandering Sprit.


It wasn't the first time this had happened to her. That was the sad part. If

she had any memories of the previous time she would know that soon be called

back to a new shell that was identical to her previous one. She did know that she

would forget a great deal as a result. And Rei Ayanami also knew that she had

some time to kill. She floated neither here nor their, simply reflecting on how this

came about. The last angel had attempted to invade her through her Eva. It had

invaded her mind. The third had sorted. It was going to invade the third. She had to

kill the angel. So she self destructed her Eva. It hadn't really hurt, their simply

hadn't been time for it to. The angels invasion of her body, that had hurt. Then she

became aware of a voice calling her name. She assumed it was the commander

calling her back, so she went to answer. Then she realized it was the Katsuragi

apartment that the voice was calling her to. Intrigued, Rei entered. She realized the

voice saying her name was Shinji. He lay curled on his bed crying.



"Rei... damn it why? Why'd you do it? Why did you have to die?"

He is crying for me?

"I wasn't worth it. Dammit Rei! I wasn't worth it! The mission wasn't



worth it! So why... did you do it."

He cares... weather I live or die. Someone cares weather I live or die.

"Rei I was such a coward... I never told you how I felt... I care about you

Rei."

Shinji... I will try to remember you, and how you felt. She felt a

irresistible force tugging her back. I will try...

Her spirit was pulled down into the geo front, into the lowest part of

Nerv. In a tank of lcl Rei opened her eyes and saw commander Ikari smile.

Inwardly however she felt disturbed.

I have something to remember. But I cannot remember what. What is

it I must remember and cannot?

End act 1.

Authors notes: That was a short act. Then again their wasn't a whole lot that I

needed to do their. In this next act you'll notice that Asuka hasn't lost her

confidence yet. In this fic she was better able to handle what the angel did to her.
