Hiya people... This chapter will NOT involve
ANY Eva fighting, it's just talking about
Shinji's new school life is like now with his
attitude change. But I can tell you right now,
he's not gonna be like this for the whole fic,
I mean isn't NGE suppose to be about the pilot's
problems? I mean, if they don't have any other
than fighting angels and stuff, it would just
be your run in the mill mecha show. (At least
that's what I think.)
Well I doubt you guys need a recap, so I'd
save it for later ^_^
Disclaimer: HA, if I have the rights to NGE, I
won't be here writing fics now, would I? plus,
I'm just a kid with no money, it'll be useless
suing me ^_^

Destiny and Time 2:
Promises to Fulfill
Chapter 2
"... so you'll be going to school today." Misato
finished yet another can of Yebisu beer.
"Sure.. ok." Shinji replied with a shrug and
finished his breakfast.
"Oh yeah, Ritsuko said that you'll be starting your
training after school today until 7, so you should
go right to NERV after school."
"K.. oh yeah, Misato?"
"Yes?"
"You're doing the dishes." Shinji said with a smug
smile.
"WHAT!! We hadn't assign those yet!" Misato panicked
"Huh, then what might THIS be." Shinji pulled
out 'The List' from yesterday, complete with
Misato's signature.
"WHAT! Did you forge my signature! I would NEVER
sign that!" Misato frowned and reached for the
piece of paper.
"You signed it yesterday while your drinking."
Shinji replied and shoving the piece of paper
in his backpack, "And nope, I don't know how
to forge signatures."
"Why you little.." Misato fumed and started to chase
the Third child for the list.
"Misato Misato Misato." Shinji tsked, "Shouldn't
you act more mature? Anyway, I have to go to
school now, chow."
Misato almost crashed into the front door in attempt
to catch Shinji, "Grrrr... I'll get him... I'll get
him one day..."
*******************************
Shinji whistled as he walked down the street towards
his high school.
*Well that last angel was easy enough, I guess I'll
have it easy until the 12th or 13th one.. THEN we
need to work REALLY hard again, not that the once
before would be easy, I mean we know how they look
like AND what they do already right? So it should
be a walk in the park.. almost.*
Shinji's attention returned to his surroundings once
again and meeting his eyes is....
Tokyo 3 Junior High...
"I guess I'm here." Shinji said out loud before walking
in.
The Third Child, after entering the building, scanned
the hallway to see his destination, Room A-2, and
walked in.
"Hi, you must be the new transfer." Shinji turned to
the friendly voice that greeted him, of course, the
voice is from the class rep. Hikari Horaki.
"Hi.. umm.. let me guess, Hikari Horaki right?" Shinji
flashed her a grin and then raising his hand,
"I'm Shinji Ikari."
The class rep. blushed at Shinji's forwardness before
shaking his hand, "Umm.. Ikari-San.."
"Just Shinji will do."
"Umm ok.. err.. Shinji, why don't you take a sit over
there." Hikari lead Shinji to an empty table, "After
the attack 2 days ago, lots of students moved away so
this class is pretty empty."
"I would guess so.. I mean who would like to live in
a crazy place like this, I mean other than me, I can't
say anyone is crazy enough to like this place." Shinji
kept up his smile.
"Oh, umm, well this is your laptop, you'll find that-"
"I know, no chats unless we have permission only private
messages, we also have Internet access, but it's limited
and all that right?" Shinji grinned when Hikari stared at
him in wonder.
"H-ho-how did you.."
"Oh, all the schools are like that." Shinji answered,
"Say, is our teacher boring?"
"Umm.. err.. I can't say.." Hikari frowns a bit as if to
gather her senses again, "Class would be starting in a
moment, so I recommend you to look over the school rules
on your computer. If you have any questions, you can ask
me during lunch or you can message me."
"Sure thing." Shinji dropped down on his seat and scanned
the room.
*Kensuke is over there, huh? Touji's here too.. oh right,
I guess his little sister did get crushed... but why is
he still staring at me. Some girls are giggling and seems
like they're stealing glances of me and I'd guess that
Kensuke is trying to figure out if I'm a secret agent from
mars or something...* Shinji sighed.
FLASH
Shinji winced at the sharp pain, *What the hell was that.*
He slowly rubbed his temples to ease the pain from his
head, *That really hurt..*
"All rise." Still feeling a little pain, Shinji stood up.
"Bow..... Sit down."
"Class, today we have a new transfer student, everyone
please welcome Ikari Shinji, would you like to tell your
classmates a bit about yourself?" the teacher asked
Shinji who is standing up from his sit.
"Umm, I moved here from my uncles farm.. I play the Cello,
I guess you can say that I like Mechas... and I'm single."
Shinji ended his last comment with a wink resulting in
laughs and giggles from the rest of the class.
"Hmm, that's nice Mr. Ikari, now let use continue from
last class...." The young pilot rolled his eyes as the
teacher droned on about 2nd Impact once again.
*Damn, no matter how I change the flow of time, I STILL
can't get him to stop droning on about the 2nd Impact!*
Beep.... beepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeep
beepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeep
Shinji turned his attention to about a thousand private
messages that popped up on his screen.
*Oh brother...*
*******************************
*Heh, the good news is, no one asked if I was the pilot
of that robot yet.*
Just then, few girls from Shinji's class waved at him,
*The REALLY good news is that I think I can actually get
a date for the next dance.*
Shinji chuckled to himself, *Man, I really starting to
scary me, I'm sounding like Kaji.*
"Hey, New kid!" Shinji turned to see Touji and Kensuke
walking towards him.
"Umm Touji Suzuhara and Kensuke Aida right?" Shinji stood
up from under the tree.
"Yeah, that's us.. err.."
"Ikari Shinji, but just call me Shinji please."
"Well we just wanna-" Kensuke started
"Ask you how in the world did you manage to get your own
fan club just by winking at the girls.. MAN you are the
MASTER!" Shinji sweatdropped, *Ok at least I'm not gonna
get punched..*
"Seriously, you HAVE to tell us!" Kensuke said in an
almost pleading voice.
"But before that.." Touji interrupted.
WHAM!
"Sorry, but that's for hitting on the class rep."
"Wha?" Shinji groaned and tried to pulled himself up again,
"You and the class rep are dating?"
*Wow, this is the first I heard of this.*
"What?! you and the class rep are dating!!" Kensuke shouted,
"and you didn't even tell ME! your best FRIEND!!"
"No! I'm not dating the class rep!!" Touji replied frantically.
"Then, you can't punch me for hitting on the class rep
then." Shinji said matter-of-factly.
WHAM!
"That's for correcting me!" Touji said cracking his
knuckles.
*Damn, I shouldn't have hit on the class rep... ah well,
at least now we know Touji has a thing for her!*
"Sorry." Shinji said, "didn't know you and the class rep
are a couple."
"We're NOT a couple!" Touji insisted.
"Then why did you hit him then?" Kensuke countered.
"Cuz... Ah the hell with ya all." Touji stomped off.
"Sorry about those punches Shinji, Touji is not what you
call a tactful person." Kensuke apologized for Touji.
"It's ok.." Shinji waved it of then muttered, "I'm used
it by now.."
"So tell me, are you the pilot of that robot?" Kensuke
asked.
"And YOU are not a person I'd call tactful either."
Shinji said with a chuckle.
"So you ARE the pilot!" Kensuke grinned.
"I didn't say that." Shinji kept walking.
"So you're not?"
"I didn't say that either.."
"YES! I knew it! You're the pilot!" Kensuke immediately
bombarded Shinji with hundreds of questions.
"I didn't say I'm the pilot.." Shinji said again and
shrugged off all the questions.
"Damn, I thought you're the pilot.."
"You'll see who it is... sooner or later I guess."
Shinji silently prayed that they wouldn't figure
it out since if they did, that would mean that Misato
will have two fan-boys following her everywhere when
they see her.
"So you know who the pilot is?" Kensuke practically
jumped with joy.
"umm.. you can say that."
"GREAT! can you tell him to call me!"
"No..."
"PLEASE!!"
"no"
"PLEEEEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSEEEEE!!!"
"NO!"
*******************************
"Shinji..... You're a natural." Shinji grinned at the
complement, "But you just need to work on your close
combat skills."
"No problem doc." Shinji put back the simulation rifle
back on the weapons rack.
"I still can't believe it, it took Asuka her whole
life just to get to his level, now he just starts the
Eva and he's already there! Amazing." Shinji heard
Maya Ibuki muse over the comm.
"Ok Shinji, we'll be training you on close range
combat tomorrow, so I suggest you rest up tonight."
Dr. Akagi said, "You can go now."
"Thanks." Shinji sighed in relief as the entry plug
is being ejected from the Eva.
*Man, now matter how long I pilot this thing LCL will
still smell the same.*
*******Few minutes Later*******
"So how did you do Shinji?" Misato asked.
"Pretty well I guess, Dr. Akagi said that all I need
is to train in the close combat and I'm all set!"
Shinji said with a shrug, "So is there like a big
sword or something that I can use?"
"Well there is an Axes, Lance, and the knife.. that's
about it I think.." Misato counted off.
"I know tha-" Shinji caught himself but a bit too late.
"You knew! HOW! it's all classified info!" Misato frowned
"Umm... well.. err.. you see.." Shinji started to sweat.
"Ah well, it's not THAT important, you'll see then soon
anyway so it's ok."
*Whew... that was close..* Shinji let out his breath
slowly.
"Well, let's go home... you're doing all the cooking right?"
Misato said with a eager smile.
"Yup, and YOUR doing the dishes." Shinji grinned.
"Aww... I'll play you for it, loser washes the dishes!"
"Nope.. You're doing it and that's final!" Shinji quickly
hopped into the car.
"Fine...." Misato grumble all the way back to the apartment.
*******************************
Swish
Misato and Shinji entered the apartment with Shinji carrying
some of Misato's laundry.
"Say, how's school Shinji?" Misato walked over to the
answering machine to find 20 messages.
"Fine I guess." Shinji replied from the Kitchen.
*Hmm, who called... I'd understand one or 2.. but 20! that's
outrageous!* So, Misato pressed the button to find out.
Beeeeeeep.
Hey, Shinji, I'm Hitomi, you know, from school.. I'd like
to ask if..... youarefreeonsaturday... umm.. that's all..
err.. bye.
Beeeeeeep
Hi Shinji! I'm wondering if you have anything to do on
Saturday, if you don't.. umm.. I'm just saying... err..
you know.. oh and I'm Michiru from school..
Misato groaned and stopped the machine, "Shinji.. are you
sure schools just FINE.."
"Yeah, I'm fine at school.. why?"
"There are 20 messages on the machine for you from girls
asking you on a date..." Misato said wiry.
"Umm.. heh... I guess school was better than fine then."
Misato couldn't help but facefault, *Is this kid for
REAL!*
"So, who are you gonna take out for your date?" Misato
grinned and sat down on the chair.
"Umm... I dunno... HEY! it's non of your business!"
Misato leaned back on the chair to see what Shinji
was doing, and found him blushing while cutting some
veggies.
"I AM your legal guardian you know, I have a right to
know about your day!"
"WHAT! this is personal!"
"So I guess you'll be taking that Hitomi girl then right?"
Misato laughed when Shinji stumbled in the kitchen.
"THAT'S NOT FUNNY!!" Shinji blushed harder.
"You're not so bad after all." Misato said inbetween laughs
"I won't be responsible for any type of poison in your
food." Shinji threatened.
"Like you would poison me." Misato turned to see a seemingly
VERY serious Shinji, "would you?"
"You never know..." Shinji said before concentrating on
his cooking again.
*******************************
Shinji fell off his chair laughing his head off,
"Mi-mi-misato.. HAHAHA your..your.. HAHAHAHHA"
"WHAT?" Misato said while poking at her food,
"You did say you'd poison me.."
"Y-y-you actually be-believed me HAHHAHAHHAAHA"
Once again, Misato was forced to face humiliation
as she guiltily ate some of Shinji's home cooked meal.
"Well, you can never me too sure.." Misato defended,
"So, we still haven't said anything about that bet
yet.. so when do you think the next angel will come
oh great Shinji the reader of the future"
"You go first, no guess above a year."
"Fine, I say... 2 months!"
"Ok, I say 3 weeks... Misato, prepare to lose your
credit card for a week." Shinji smirked.
"Yeah right, YOU better be ready to tell me all about
your love life." Misato snickered.
*******************************
Shinji groaned again as another wave of messages hit
him during their teacher's rambles about the Second
Impact.
*God, do they ever stop?*
Looking at the screen, Shinji noticed that lots of the
messages now are filled with, who is the pilot? or
Can I talk to the pilot? or Can you tell me who the
pilot is? Then there is the occasional, are you free
on Saturday from few girls that had called him 2 days
ago.
*Now.. let see.. an answer that will answer all those
questions... hmm... that's easy.*
^NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!^
Shinji bite his tongue to prevent laughing as the message
went back to everyone, and in reply groaned in despair.
Beeeep
*Well, at least I have something to do until lunch...*
^Are you gay?^
Shinji sweatdropped the typed.
^NO!!! now do you ask?^
^Well, all the hot girls are asking you for a date and
You're saying no to all of them..^
*Well, true... maybe I should just say yes to one of them
and maybe I'd stop this from spreading..*
^Well I'm not.. I just have someone in mind already^
^Don't tell me your going for Ayanami!^
Shinji sighed, ^Of course NOT!! Who is this anyways...^
^Turn around, to your left^
Shinji turned to see Kensuke give him a little wave.
^So, who do you have in mind?^
^Non of your business^
^Oh come on!!^
^You'll know at lunch.^
Shinji heard every girl in the class gasp and even saw
few of them start to take out lipsticks and the such.
*I shouldn't have said that..* Shinji thought miserably,
*I'm never gonna hear the end of this from Misato..*
The rest of the class went by EXTREMELY slow, but still
it wasn't slow enough for our Eva pilot....
******* Lunch!! *******
Shinji just finished his lunch, which in packed of course,
and found himself surrounded by girls from his class.
"So who are you gonna ask on a date." One of the braver
girls spoke out to Shinji's dismay.
"Umm..." Shinji felt that all the girls are closing in on
him, "well.... errr."
"OK back up girls..." Shinji sighed in relieve as Touji and
Kensuke came to his rescue.
"Thank you guys!!" Shinji whispered.
"Ah, don't thank us, we just don't wanna see you suffocate
until you told us who your gonna date." Kensuke said with
a smirk.
"Yeah, plus you still need to tell us how you did that thingy
to make your own fan-club!" Touji added.
"Well I was planning to go on a date with Hi- OW!" Shinji felt
a jab on his side and glared at the source.
"Shinji, you don't just say it out loud, you need to GO to
the girl and THEN say it." Kensuke explained like a true expert.
"When did YOU became the expert?" Touji snickered at Shinji's
remark.
"Just GO already." Touji pushed Shinji out for him to face his
choice.
*Who the heck AM I gonna pick?* Shinji scanned around field,
which is filled with girls in his class. *Hmm... well that
Sakura girl is pretty nice, but then Hikaru seems less shy,
well then there is Keiko who is VERY shy...*
"Pick already!!" Touji shouted from behind him.
"FINE!" Shinji shouted back and walked up to a girl with
freckles and a twin pony tail... *Whoops wrong person*
Shinji mental kick himself for walking up to the class rep
who is, for some weird reason, in the crowd also.
"I-Ikari?" Hikari manage to say.
"Sorry class rep, wrong person.. you know something, I can
tell you who has a crush on yo OW!" Shinji shouted again
as a rock hit his back, "Fine, I won't tell, but anyways."
Shinji took another deep breath and walked towards a girl
with brown hair, almost reaching to her shoulder, that curl
inward to frame her face. *With those round eyes, who can
say no.. I mean Keiko seems nice, but shy I guess.*
"Keiko, are you free this Saturday?" Shinji said with his
best smile (The one Shinji learned from Kaji from watching
it too much! =p).
"I... I... I.." Keiko stammered.
"Can I take that as a yes?" Keiko nodded slightly, "Great!
I'll meet you at that mall with the big ice-cream store.
See ya in class." Shinji finished with 'THE WINK' before
walking off and joining the 'idiot duo'.
Few minutes later, if you we're still near the field of
Tokyo 3 Junior High, you would hear the group of girls
squealing and few shouts of 'OH MY GOD!' and other of
the likes....
*******************************
"So.. I heard you go a date for yourself." Shinji choked
on the LCL as Misato mentioned it during his training with
the Prog Knife.
"MISATO!!" Shinji shouted.
"Shinji, concentrate on the angel will you." Ritsuko
interjected, "And YOU Misato, he needs to work on this
so would you PLEASE leave him alone for now, you have
the time in your apartment to torture him with."
Misato giggled when Shinji groaned in reply to what
Ritsuko said.
"Anyways, Shinji, I'll you better tell me all about this
back at the apartment." Misato smiled.
"Yes Misato." Shinji groaned.
"Ok, now Shinji, since the Prog. Knife doesn't have a
long reach, you'll need to take or dodge, preferably
dodge, some hits the angel might throw at you. Since this
we don't have enough knowledge on how to program the movements
of the angels yet, this simulation would only need you
to hit immobile enemies.. understand?"
"Gotcha!" Shinji replied with a thumbs up.
"Ok, each of the dummies will fire these 'lazers' at you,
you are to dodge them and neutralize the targets.. begin!"
******* one hour later *******
"Good job Shinji! You only got hit 40 times!" Ritsuko
nodded with approval, "But that's still a lot of hits! The
Second Child, who is still in Germany, finished this
excersize with less than 25 hits. Quite amazing actually."
*Wow, Asuka good.* Shinji frowned, *I'd never get THAT
good.*
"Well, you're free to go.. Sync test tomorrow so you won't
be getting any training." Dr. Akagi said.
Shinji just sighed and got out of the plug.
*******************************
"So.. whens your date?" Misato asked during dinner.
"Saturday, in that mall with that big ice-cream store."
"Wow, excellent choice!" Misato raised her eyebrows,
"You've thought this over a lot haven't you?"
"Not really, I just know that that mall has lots of
things to do so it's an obvious place for an date."
Shinji shrugged.
"I'll cancel all the tests on Saturday for ya, you
might as well take the day off." Misato chugged another
can of beer, "So.. who's your date?"
"Can you get off my case already!" Shinji rolled his
eyes and finished off his dinner, ".. Keiko.."
"I see.... well I better look up her file." Misato
grinned, "and a little meeting with her might not
hurt."
"MISATO!!" Shinji shouted, ".. I'm taking a bath..."
"Kids...." Misato smirked and finished another can
of beer (This is really getting old.. =p)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not as long as the last chapter.. but I guess it's
close enough. Well Next chapter, we have...
THE BATTLE OF THE FOURTH ANGEL!!
and other bits of stuff like how Shinji's date went..
how Shinji and Keiko is totally embarrassed by Misato..
maybe not.. but that might be a good idea.. heh ^^
Anyways... I can't think of anything for Asuka about
her life in Germany, so I'm just gonna a little silly
thought that went through my mind
OMAKE!!! Asuka's secret...
"Pick already!!" Touji shouted from behind him.
"FINE!" Shinji shouted back and walked up to a girl with
freckles and a twin pony tail... *Whoops wrong person*
Shinji mental kick himself for walking up to the class rep
who is, for some weird reason, in the crowd also.
"I-Ikari?" Hikari manage to say.
"Sorry class rep, wrong person.. you know something, I can
tell you who has a crush on yo OW!" Shinji shouted again
as a rock hit his back, "Fine, I won't tell, but anyways."
Shinji took another deep breath and walked towards a girl
with brown hair, almost reaching to her shoulder, that curl
inward to frame her face. *With those round eyes, who can
say no.. I mean Keiko seems nice, but shy I guess.*
"Keiko, are you free this Saturday?" Shinji said with his
best smile.
"BAKA SHINJI!!!" Shinji whipped his head around to see a
puff of red smoke appear out of no where, "HOW DARE YOU
DATE ANOTHER GIRL!!"
Once the smoke cleared, Shinji sees Asuka wearing a red
bikini with horns on her head and a tail.
"A-Asuka?" Shinji cringed as Asuka growls at all the girls,
"They're right.. you ARE a demon!!"
*End*
Heh... Well, til next time chapter... SEE YA!! *wave*
ANY Eva fighting, it's just talking about
Shinji's new school life is like now with his
attitude change. But I can tell you right now,
he's not gonna be like this for the whole fic,
I mean isn't NGE suppose to be about the pilot's
problems? I mean, if they don't have any other
than fighting angels and stuff, it would just
be your run in the mill mecha show. (At least
that's what I think.)
Well I doubt you guys need a recap, so I'd

"Misato Misato Misato." Shinji tsked, "Shouldn't

Misato almost crashed into the front door in attempt

this class is pretty empty."
"I would guess so.. I mean who would like to live in
a crazy place like this, I mean other than me, I can't
say anyone is crazy enough to like this place." Shinji
kept up his smile.
"Oh, umm, well this is your laptop, you'll find that-"
"I know, no chats unless we have permission only private
messages, we also have Internet access, but it's limited
and all that right?" Shinji grinned when Hikari stared at
him in wonder.
"H-ho-how did you.."
"Oh, all the schools are like that." Shinji answered,
"Say, is our teacher boring?"
"Umm.. err.. I can't say.." Hikari frowns a bit as if to
gather her senses again, "Class would be starting in a

on your computer. If you have any questions, you can ask
me during lunch or you can message me."
"Sure thing." Shinji dropped down on his seat and scanned

Shinji who is standing up from his sit.

Shinji ended his last comment with a wink resulting in
laughs and giggles from the rest of the class.
"Hmm, that's nice Mr. Ikari, now let use continue from
last class...." The young pilot rolled his eyes as the
teacher droned on about 2nd Impact once again.
*Damn, no matter how I change the flow of time, I STILL
can't get him to stop droning on about the 2nd Impact!*

get punched..*
"Seriously, you HAVE to tell us!" Kensuke said in an
almost pleading voice.
"But before that.." Touji interrupted.
WHAM!
"Sorry, but that's for hitting on the class rep."
"Wha?" Shinji groaned and tried to pulled himself up again,
"You and the class rep are dating?"
*Wow, this is the first I heard of this.*
"What?! you and the class rep are dating!!" Kensuke shouted,
"and you didn't even tell ME! your best FRIEND!!"
"No! I'm not dating the class rep!!" Touji replied frantically.
"Then, you can't punch me for hitting on the class rep
then." Shinji said matter-of-factly.
WHAM!
"That's for correcting me!" Touji said cracking his
knuckles.
*Damn, I shouldn't have hit on the class rep... ah well,
at least now we know Touji has a thing for her!*
"Sorry." Shinji said, "didn't know you and the class rep
are a couple."
"We're NOT a couple!" Touji insisted.
"Then why did you hit him then?" Kensuke countered.
"Cuz... Ah the hell with ya all." Touji stomped off.
"Sorry about those punches Shinji, Touji is not what you
call a tactful person." Kensuke apologized for Touji.
"It's ok.." Shinji waved it of then muttered, "I'm used
it by now.."
"So tell me, are you the pilot of that robot?" Kensuke
asked.
"And YOU are not a person I'd call tactful either."
Shinji said with a chuckle.
"So you ARE the pilot!" Kensuke grinned.
"I didn't say that." Shinji kept walking.
"So you're not?"
"I didn't say that either.."
"YES! I knew it! You're the pilot!" Kensuke immediately
bombarded Shinji with hundreds of questions.
"I didn't say I'm the pilot.." Shinji said again and
shrugged off all the questions.
"Damn, I thought you're the pilot.."
"You'll see who it is... sooner or later I guess."
Shinji silently prayed that they wouldn't figure
it out since if they did, that would mean that Misato
will have two fan-boys following her everywhere when
they see her.
"So you know who the pilot is?" Kensuke practically
jumped with joy.
"umm.. you can say that."
"GREAT! can you tell him to call me!"
"No..."
"PLEASE!!"
"no"
"PLEEEEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSEEEEE!!!"
"NO!"
*******************************
"Shinji..... You're a natural." Shinji grinned at the
complement, "But you just need to work on your close
combat skills."
"No problem doc." Shinji put back the simulation rifle
back on the weapons rack.
"I still can't believe it, it took Asuka her whole
life just to get to his level, now he just starts the
Eva and he's already there! Amazing." Shinji heard
Maya Ibuki muse over the comm.
"Ok Shinji, we'll be training you on close range
combat tomorrow, so I suggest you rest up tonight."
Dr. Akagi said, "You can go now."
"Thanks." Shinji sighed in relief as the entry plug
is being ejected from the Eva.
*Man, now matter how long I pilot this thing LCL will
still smell the same.*
*******Few minutes Later*******
"So how did you do Shinji?" Misato asked.
"Pretty well I guess, Dr. Akagi said that all I need
is to train in the close combat and I'm all set!"
Shinji said with a shrug, "So is there like a big
sword or something that I can use?"
"Well there is an Axes, Lance, and the knife.. that's
about it I think.." Misato counted off.
"I know tha-" Shinji caught himself but a bit too late.
"You knew! HOW! it's all classified info!" Misato frowned
"Umm... well.. err.. you see.." Shinji started to sweat.
"Ah well, it's not THAT important, you'll see then soon
anyway so it's ok."
*Whew... that was close..* Shinji let out his breath
slowly.
"Well, let's go home... you're doing all the cooking right?"
Misato said with a eager smile.
"Yup, and YOUR doing the dishes." Shinji grinned.
"Aww... I'll play you for it, loser washes the dishes!"
"Nope.. You're doing it and that's final!" Shinji quickly
hopped into the car.
"Fine...." Misato grumble all the way back to the apartment.
*******************************
Swish
Misato and Shinji entered the apartment with Shinji carrying
some of Misato's laundry.
"Say, how's school Shinji?" Misato walked over to the
answering machine to find 20 messages.
"Fine I guess." Shinji replied from the Kitchen.
*Hmm, who called... I'd understand one or 2.. but 20! that's
outrageous!* So, Misato pressed the button to find out.
Beeeeeeep.
Hey, Shinji, I'm Hitomi, you know, from school.. I'd like
to ask if..... youarefreeonsaturday... umm.. that's all..
err.. bye.
Beeeeeeep
Hi Shinji! I'm wondering if you have anything to do on
Saturday, if you don't.. umm.. I'm just saying... err..
you know.. oh and I'm Michiru from school..
Misato groaned and stopped the machine, "Shinji.. are you
sure schools just FINE.."
"Yeah, I'm fine at school.. why?"
"There are 20 messages on the machine for you from girls
asking you on a date..." Misato said wiry.
"Umm.. heh... I guess school was better than fine then."
Misato couldn't help but facefault, *Is this kid for
REAL!*
"So, who are you gonna take out for your date?" Misato
grinned and sat down on the chair.
"Umm... I dunno... HEY! it's non of your business!"
Misato leaned back on the chair to see what Shinji
was doing, and found him blushing while cutting some
veggies.
"I AM your legal guardian you know, I have a right to
know about your day!"
"WHAT! this is personal!"
"So I guess you'll be taking that Hitomi girl then right?"
Misato laughed when Shinji stumbled in the kitchen.
"THAT'S NOT FUNNY!!" Shinji blushed harder.
"You're not so bad after all." Misato said inbetween laughs
"I won't be responsible for any type of poison in your
food." Shinji threatened.
"Like you would poison me." Misato turned to see a seemingly
VERY serious Shinji, "would you?"
"You never know..." Shinji said before concentrating on
his cooking again.
*******************************
Shinji fell off his chair laughing his head off,
"Mi-mi-misato.. HAHAHA your..your.. HAHAHAHHA"
"WHAT?" Misato said while poking at her food,
"You did say you'd poison me.."
"Y-y-you actually be-believed me HAHHAHAHHAAHA"
Once again, Misato was forced to face humiliation
as she guiltily ate some of Shinji's home cooked meal.
"Well, you can never me too sure.." Misato defended,
"So, we still haven't said anything about that bet
yet.. so when do you think the next angel will come
oh great Shinji the reader of the future"
"You go first, no guess above a year."
"Fine, I say... 2 months!"
"Ok, I say 3 weeks... Misato, prepare to lose your
credit card for a week." Shinji smirked.
"Yeah right, YOU better be ready to tell me all about
your love life." Misato snickered.
*******************************
Shinji groaned again as another wave of messages hit
him during their teacher's rambles about the Second
Impact.
*God, do they ever stop?*
Looking at the screen, Shinji noticed that lots of the
messages now are filled with, who is the pilot? or
Can I talk to the pilot? or Can you tell me who the
pilot is? Then there is the occasional, are you free
on Saturday from few girls that had called him 2 days
ago.
*Now.. let see.. an answer that will answer all those
questions... hmm... that's easy.*
^NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!^
Shinji bite his tongue to prevent laughing as the message
went back to everyone, and in reply groaned in despair.
Beeeep
*Well, at least I have something to do until lunch...*
^Are you gay?^
Shinji sweatdropped the typed.
^NO!!! now do you ask?^
^Well, all the hot girls are asking you for a date and
You're saying no to all of them..^
*Well, true... maybe I should just say yes to one of them
and maybe I'd stop this from spreading..*
^Well I'm not.. I just have someone in mind already^
^Don't tell me your going for Ayanami!^
Shinji sighed, ^Of course NOT!! Who is this anyways...^
^Turn around, to your left^
Shinji turned to see Kensuke give him a little wave.
^So, who do you have in mind?^
^Non of your business^
^Oh come on!!^
^You'll know at lunch.^
Shinji heard every girl in the class gasp and even saw
few of them start to take out lipsticks and the such.
*I shouldn't have said that..* Shinji thought miserably,
*I'm never gonna hear the end of this from Misato..*
The rest of the class went by EXTREMELY slow, but still
it wasn't slow enough for our Eva pilot....
******* Lunch!! *******
Shinji just finished his lunch, which in packed of course,
and found himself surrounded by girls from his class.
"So who are you gonna ask on a date." One of the braver
girls spoke out to Shinji's dismay.
"Umm..." Shinji felt that all the girls are closing in on
him, "well.... errr."
"OK back up girls..." Shinji sighed in relieve as Touji and
Kensuke came to his rescue.
"Thank you guys!!" Shinji whispered.
"Ah, don't thank us, we just don't wanna see you suffocate
until you told us who your gonna date." Kensuke said with
a smirk.
"Yeah, plus you still need to tell us how you did that thingy
to make your own fan-club!" Touji added.
"Well I was planning to go on a date with Hi- OW!" Shinji felt
a jab on his side and glared at the source.
"Shinji, you don't just say it out loud, you need to GO to
the girl and THEN say it." Kensuke explained like a true expert.
"When did YOU became the expert?" Touji snickered at Shinji's
remark.
"Just GO already." Touji pushed Shinji out for him to face his
choice.
*Who the heck AM I gonna pick?* Shinji scanned around field,
which is filled with girls in his class. *Hmm... well that
Sakura girl is pretty nice, but then Hikaru seems less shy,
well then there is Keiko who is VERY shy...*
"Pick already!!" Touji shouted from behind him.
"FINE!" Shinji shouted back and walked up to a girl with
freckles and a twin pony tail... *Whoops wrong person*
Shinji mental kick himself for walking up to the class rep
who is, for some weird reason, in the crowd also.
"I-Ikari?" Hikari manage to say.
"Sorry class rep, wrong person.. you know something, I can
tell you who has a crush on yo OW!" Shinji shouted again
as a rock hit his back, "Fine, I won't tell, but anyways."
Shinji took another deep breath and walked towards a girl
with brown hair, almost reaching to her shoulder, that curl
inward to frame her face. *With those round eyes, who can
say no.. I mean Keiko seems nice, but shy I guess.*
"Keiko, are you free this Saturday?" Shinji said with his
best smile (The one Shinji learned from Kaji from watching
it too much! =p).
"I... I... I.." Keiko stammered.
"Can I take that as a yes?" Keiko nodded slightly, "Great!
I'll meet you at that mall with the big ice-cream store.
See ya in class." Shinji finished with 'THE WINK' before
walking off and joining the 'idiot duo'.
Few minutes later, if you we're still near the field of
Tokyo 3 Junior High, you would hear the group of girls
squealing and few shouts of 'OH MY GOD!' and other of
the likes....
*******************************
"So.. I heard you go a date for yourself." Shinji choked
on the LCL as Misato mentioned it during his training with
the Prog Knife.
"MISATO!!" Shinji shouted.
"Shinji, concentrate on the angel will you." Ritsuko
interjected, "And YOU Misato, he needs to work on this
so would you PLEASE leave him alone for now, you have
the time in your apartment to torture him with."
Misato giggled when Shinji groaned in reply to what
Ritsuko said.
"Anyways, Shinji, I'll you better tell me all about this
back at the apartment." Misato smiled.
"Yes Misato." Shinji groaned.
"Ok, now Shinji, since the Prog. Knife doesn't have a
long reach, you'll need to take or dodge, preferably
dodge, some hits the angel might throw at you. Since this
we don't have enough knowledge on how to program the movements
of the angels yet, this simulation would only need you
to hit immobile enemies.. understand?"
"Gotcha!" Shinji replied with a thumbs up.
"Ok, each of the dummies will fire these 'lazers' at you,
you are to dodge them and neutralize the targets.. begin!"
******* one hour later *******
"Good job Shinji! You only got hit 40 times!" Ritsuko
nodded with approval, "But that's still a lot of hits! The
Second Child, who is still in Germany, finished this
excersize with less than 25 hits. Quite amazing actually."
*Wow, Asuka good.* Shinji frowned, *I'd never get THAT
good.*
"Well, you're free to go.. Sync test tomorrow so you won't
be getting any training." Dr. Akagi said.
Shinji just sighed and got out of the plug.
*******************************
"So.. whens your date?" Misato asked during dinner.
"Saturday, in that mall with that big ice-cream store."
"Wow, excellent choice!" Misato raised her eyebrows,
"You've thought this over a lot haven't you?"
"Not really, I just know that that mall has lots of
things to do so it's an obvious place for an date."
Shinji shrugged.
"I'll cancel all the tests on Saturday for ya, you
might as well take the day off." Misato chugged another
can of beer, "So.. who's your date?"
"Can you get off my case already!" Shinji rolled his
eyes and finished off his dinner, ".. Keiko.."
"I see.... well I better look up her file." Misato
grinned, "and a little meeting with her might not
hurt."
"MISATO!!" Shinji shouted, ".. I'm taking a bath..."
"Kids...." Misato smirked and finished another can
of beer (This is really getting old.. =p)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not as long as the last chapter.. but I guess it's
close enough. Well Next chapter, we have...
THE BATTLE OF THE FOURTH ANGEL!!
and other bits of stuff like how Shinji's date went..
how Shinji and Keiko is totally embarrassed by Misato..
maybe not.. but that might be a good idea.. heh ^^
Anyways... I can't think of anything for Asuka about
her life in Germany, so I'm just gonna a little silly
thought that went through my mind
OMAKE!!! Asuka's secret...
"Pick already!!" Touji shouted from behind him.
"FINE!" Shinji shouted back and walked up to a girl with
freckles and a twin pony tail... *Whoops wrong person*
Shinji mental kick himself for walking up to the class rep
who is, for some weird reason, in the crowd also.
"I-Ikari?" Hikari manage to say.
"Sorry class rep, wrong person.. you know something, I can
tell you who has a crush on yo OW!" Shinji shouted again
as a rock hit his back, "Fine, I won't tell, but anyways."
Shinji took another deep breath and walked towards a girl
with brown hair, almost reaching to her shoulder, that curl
inward to frame her face. *With those round eyes, who can
say no.. I mean Keiko seems nice, but shy I guess.*
"Keiko, are you free this Saturday?" Shinji said with his
best smile.
"BAKA SHINJI!!!" Shinji whipped his head around to see a
puff of red smoke appear out of no where, "HOW DARE YOU
DATE ANOTHER GIRL!!"
Once the smoke cleared, Shinji sees Asuka wearing a red
bikini with horns on her head and a tail.
"A-Asuka?" Shinji cringed as Asuka growls at all the girls,
"They're right.. you ARE a demon!!"
*End*
Heh... Well, til next time chapter... SEE YA!! *wave*
