Chapter 3
Trials And Tribulations-1
Shinji stared at Asuka, and she looked to him. The baby was flailing around, laughing.
"Its almost like...as if its our baby." Asuka said, a lock of her falling in front of
her small nose, and she brushed it back. Shinji agreed, and just stared. So many things about
her...they were all so...so beautiful...so elegant. Her personality...it was good, but could have been
much better. She treated him good now though...
Asuka though, was very tired. It was still very early, for a Saturday, 7:00 am. Slowly,
she dozed off, the baby following, and then Shinji.

*Shinji...you need to think.*
What do you mean? Who are you?
*Shinji, I am you. Do you not recognize your own voice?*
I do...but I have never heard it outside of me...what do you want? What did you mean?
*You know you don't love her. You love Rei. Maybe even Misato. But not Asuka, you know it.
She is too mean, too dangerous. Stay away from her*
No! I love Asuka, and I always will! I do love her...don't try to trick me!
*Shinji...remember back to that day long passed, when you two kissed? Remember how she acted?
You know she doesn't love you. Why should you love someone that doesn't love you? It isn't
right Shinji. Try Rei...she is beautiful, and is nice to you.*
Shutup! Rei doesn't talk, and doesn't even care about anything but my father. They are always
together. Rei is just my friend. My father may even be her lover! All I know is is that I
don't love her.*
Yes you do Shinji. You know you do. And do you really think that you love Asuka?*
Yes, I do!...don't I...? I don't know anymore...No! This is exactly what you want! You want me to
go away from Asuka! But...she was treating me badly this morning...maybe she just wants to use
me...no! I know she loves me! Get away!
*No Shinji. She Hates you. You know it. I know it. She knows it. For the sake of humanity,
Misato knows it. Shinji, she doesn't love you. She is dangerous.*
Yes...no! She can't be faking...can she? I don't know...I'm not even sure if your me...why do you
want me to do this? How do you know? Then again...if you are me, then maybe you are my
consciousness...yes...you are, I can tell...but...if Asuka doesn't...no one does...Misato doesn't
even like me! She just likes the 'Angel Killer Shinji'...yes, your right.
*Wake up Shinji*
^V^
Not far from Shinji, Asuka was laying, in something similar, but opposite.
^V^
*Asuka. Hello. You know who I am, don't you?*
M-mother? Oh my god! Stay away from me!
*No Asuka, I am you. You are much like your mother though. You should face
that though. But that is not what I am here for.*
What are you here for? What is it that you want? God, I must be going crazy!
Talking to myself. Falling in love with that Baka...my Bonounen (friend that
seems like a sibling)...
*No Asuka. He is the one you love. You should be with him. Forever.*
But...but I can't. I don't know for sure if I love him!
*You should. He is your destined, you just need to find that out. You need to
find the him that makes you complete. Bring that out of him. You two will go
through many trials. And I assure you, you will have a family, but not for
long. You need to be ready for anything Asuka.*
But why? If we are gonna go through that, why get together? Married couples
never fight!
*Yes they do. More than couples not married, I am sure. You are destined to
him. You must survive with him. He is the key...*
Wait! What about...the trials? What are they?
*Wake up Asuka*
^V^
The baby slowly awoke to screaming, and much of it. Shinji and Asuka were at
it again.
"I shouldn't have said what I said earlier! I knew I didn't love you!
You're the worst!" Shinji said, yelling at Asuka.
"What? But...But I love you! Please, give me a chance! I am treating you
as nice as I can! Please, please forgive me and my past! I promise, things
will be different!
"No they won't! Stay away! Go away from me!" Shinji said, running into his
room, and turning on his tape player on track 26, his favorite.
Asuka just walked out, and to NERV.
