Author's Notes: It wasn't funny ;_;. Well I suppose I have to make up for it then. So here it is, comedy so fast it's shocking! And at a price so low it's shocking! And if you'll buy my work, you'll buy anything! Anywho.. while the last chapter wasn't all to funny, it did hold vital clues that will all come together eventually, so don't overlook it. This new chapter will be a bit of a twist ^_^. This one is coming to ya care of the Maya POV. Hurray for Maya! Well.. enjoy!
The Word
Chapter 8: The Rage Of A Bridge Bunny
Maya Ibuki watched her monitor in silence as herself and the rest of the bridge crew finished running the last test on the Magi. She was bored from the 4 hours of testing she was forced to sit through and she wanted nothing more then to pull out her novel that she kept and just read for a bit. However, the Commander was watching them from above at his desk, the Vice Commander next to him as always as they whispered back and forth. Not only that, but her senpai was also supervising and Maya knew how much she disapproved of slacking off at her console. After a long moment of silence, which was only pierced by the humming sound of the Magi, Ritsuko stood, stretched, and spoke.
"Alright everyone, you can take a break.... I have to go run these by the commander.."
Shigeru stood and stretched, his back cracking slightly.
"'Bout time! I thought I was going to die just sitting here..."
Hyuga nodded in agreement, pulling out his manga and skimming through the parts he liked.
"I can't stand these tests..."
"Seriously.. yo Maya?"
Shigeru walked over to her station and looked at her with inquiring eyes.
"How about after tests you and I go out? Dinner and a movie, my treat?"
He smirked as Maya closed her eyes and sighed. She wasn't in the mood to deal with Shigeru today. She just wanted to go home, soak in the bath, listen to her favorite song, the Little Fugue In G Minor, and read something.
"Go away... pervert.."
Shigeru held his heart as though he had been shot.
"Oh... shot down.. the agony!"
With that, he went back to his station as Maya stood and walked out. She'd rather spend her time walking around then dealing with the antics of those two. She walked down different halls, not really knowing where she was going, until she ended up in front of the snack machines.
"Well... I was getting a bit thirsty.."
She walked over to the machine and put in the yen, choosing a bottle of water over the different soda choices. When the bottle popped out, she bent over slightly to retrieve it and her change. She stopped and up righted herself at the sound of a man's voice, coming from directly behind her.
"Why Ms. Ibuki.. I didn't know you were so forward.."
She spun around, easily recognizing the voice of Ryouji Kaji. He had his usual, yet handsome, smirk on his face as his eyes seemed plastered on the spot Maya's backside had been a moment ago.
"Not now Mr. Kaji... and as a member of NERV, you should act accordingly.."
"Ouch.. well if you say so.."
Kaji removed his hands from his pockets and took Maya's hand and placed a light kiss on it.
"Oh Ms. Ibuki, it would honor me if you would accept a small date with me tonight.. a walk on the beach.. maybe a little wine.."
Maya sweatdropped.
"Go away Mr. Kaji... aren't you already dating Major Katsuragi?"
He quickly smirked again.
"Does she need to know?"
Maya slapped him and walked away.
'Why must all men be such PIGS?! Argh! This has been a rotten day!'
She walked down the hall, fuming over her ruined day and how she would get back at everyone for this. She quickly calmed down when she passed the elevator, which was on it's way down to the floor she was on. It's doors slid open with a woosh and out walked Ritsuko. She had just finished her 'meeting' with the Commander, her face a bit flushed still. She looked over and noticed Maya, who was walking down the hall rather briskly.
"Maya! Wait a second.."
Maya stopped and spun around.
"Oh.. yes senpai?"
"Well I wanted to tell you, I was scheduled to stay late tonight and do some more work on the Magi, but I have another meeting with the commander I cannot cancel.. so as my protégé, you will take over for me.. it should only take about 8 hours, so you'll be out of here by at least 4 AM. That leaves you with a good 2 hours to sleep before you have to be back. That should be enough time right? Good well get back to the Control Room because we need to finish up the current tests."
With that, Ritsuko strut down the hall, leaving a stunned Maya. Maya never even got the chance to argue. Had someone passed by her, they would have mistaken her for a statue. Suddenly, her muscles went tense and her eyes narrowed. Sheer waves of anger could be seen coming from her. She marched down the hallway to where the Control Room was, her footprints making scorch marks into the ground.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shigeru and Hyuga had a seat at Maya's station and were currently reading through one of her many novels. Shigeru held the book up as he read out loud.
"And John, my love for you is boundless! I will love you eternally, until the day I am no more."
"Hahahaha! What a crock. Where does she get this stuff?"
"I know.. wait wait... she has this page highlighted!.... Oh dude! Talk about X-Rated!"
"Seriously?! Let me see!"
"No way man! It's mine!"
Suddenly, the room dropped a couple of degrees in temperature. The two staff members looked at each other, Hyuga holding a look of dread on his face.
"I sense a great evil in this room..."
"How can you tell?"
"Ehh.. you acquire that from reading manga..."
Hyuga wanted to go on further with his explanation, but Shigeru's eyes had gone wide as he looked over his friend's shoulder. Hyuga spun around slowly, only to come face to face with Maya Ibuki, her eyes having gone blood red and she looked as though she was generating an AT Field.
"M-m-maya....?"
"My seat... out... NOW!"
Shigeru watched in shock as the dust outline of Hyuga settled gently to the ground. He looked back up at Maya, when he realized he still held her novel.
"Umm... here's your book..."
Maya snatched the book from him and glared at him. Shigeru felt as though he was being attacked with lasers.
"Umm... sorry.."
Ritsuko then walked into the room, causing Shigeru to thank the gods for saving his life.
"Alright.. let's finish these tests everyone.."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After they finished the test, Shigeru packed his things up and everyone was clearing out... except for Maya. She sat at her station, her eye twitching every so often. Shigeru came up behind her and placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Good luck Maya.."
He quickly regretted the action as Maya swiped the guitar on his shoulder and clubbed him with it, causing a classic 'ka-bong' noise to echo throughout the Geofront.
"No!"
Ritsuko turned and looked at her protégé.
"What's wrong Maya?"
"I... I QUIT!"
"You... you what?!"
"I quit! I'm not taking it anymore! In the last 4 days, I've gotten all of 5 hours of sleep! I can't take it anymore! I'm leaving this cesspool!"
Maya reached into her drawer and pulled out her things, putting them underneath her arm. Gendo, who had remained, spoke up.
"You are not allowed to leave... return to your station."
Maya flicked Gendo the bird and scoffed.
"How about this? You go cram it with walnuts old man! I'm going somewhere where I'll be appreciated and I'll get 8 hours of sleep a DAY!"
Everyone just stared at her in disbelief.
"I'm going to fulfill my dream and get a job at Best Buy! HAHAHAHA!"
Again, everyone stared in disbelief, this time blinking once.
"And you know what else? I'm a LESBIAN!"
Shigeru's eyes went wide as Maya stormed up to Ritsuko and kissed her. Hyuga actually cheered and yelled out, "Hurray Lesbians!". When Maya broke the kiss and walked out, Ritsuko looked as though she had been shot several times. Gendo looked at Fuyutski, who looked back.
"Do you know what this means, Commander?"
"Yes... we must retrieve the footage of that for later.."
"Indeed.."
With that, everyone left the Control Room, Hyuga shutting off the lights as he went, leaving behind Shigeru, who was on his knees, mourning the loss of his guitar.
