You still here? That's a surprise. Really, it is.
No, don't go away, if you're still reading you must not have anything
better to do with your time. It's sad that you don't, but it's even sadder
that I don't have anything better to do than to write this fic. Oh well, se
la vie. I hope I spelled that right.
Now for some background. Yay (think Monty Python and the Holy Grail 'yay'
and you'll have the right tone."
Third Impact failed. Asuka and Shinji wandered around Tokyo 3 for a while,
and then other people started coming out of the sea of LCL. They rebuilt
Tokyo 3, calling it Tokyo 4 now, and life has returned somewhat to normal.
The bus system doesn't work, all the good t.v. shows have been lost
completely (Why, god, why?), and many other small things don't exist
anymore. Nothing major, but still.
Rei is back, but the Lillith-Rei head is still floating in the bay. NERV
has been partially rebuilt. Unit 01 is back on the ground, Unit 02 is in
too many pieces to rebuild, and Unit 00 is still blown up.
Kaji is nowhere to be seen, same with the Bastard, I mean Gendo, and
Fuyutsuki.
Disclaimer: read the prologue.
Fourth Impact Chapter 1: Big Sister
Soryu Asuka Langley opened her eyes as the bathroom door closed. She froze as she heard the shower curtain pull back and came face to face with him. Smack! "You pervert!" he fell back as she began to swing punches at him. Over the years he had gotten a bit faster than she, so he dodged most of the punches. She hated that, of course. What good was a boy if you couldn't hit him?
"I suppose that this isn't a good time to tell you that you're beautiful?"
She froze. Vanity wrested control away from her rage.
"It's always a good time to adore my beauty-" Rage knocked Vanity out of the pilot seat, then punched Shinji square in his right eye. "You were looking at me, you stupid pervert!" She kicked him where it hurt and knocked him out of the bathroom.
Shinji lay on the floor outside the bathroom holding back a scream. In addition to growing faster, he had also grown a spine and tended to speak his mind more. He was regretting that right now. Pen-Pen waddled over to him, warked, and shook his head in sympathy.
Asuka felt much refreshed when she stepped out of the bathroom and went into the kitchen. She found Shinji lying on the couch whimpering. "Shinji, breakfast." She ordered. He didn't answer. "Shinji! Make breakfast!"
"That hurt." He groaned.
"Be a man and make me breakfast!" she shouted at him, walking over so that she was right in front of him.
"How can I be a man if you keep trying to destroy my manhood?" he asked plaintively.
(AN: this won't end well.)
She pulled a fist back. "How about I destroy your face instead? Get in the kitchen and make breakfast!" She hauled him off the couch and pulled him into the kitchen. "Now make breakfast. I'm hungry." She grabbed a pan and brandished it menacingly.
He reluctantly made breakfast for the two of them. They ate in silence, as always. They snuck glances at each other, as always. It was a typical summer morning. Unfortunately, that included the shower incident.
It's always something. Sighed Shinji.
Asuka finished and shoved the plate at him, expecting to clean it himself. She stalked over to the door and put on her shoes. "I'm going shopping with Hikari." She told him.
"No you're not." Shinji said softly. She turned to the door and grabbed the handle, turning it. Nothing happened. She growled and turned it again. The door remained locked.
"SHINJI, YOU IDIOT!" she stormed over to him. "What did you do to the door?"
"I didn't do anything!" he retorted waiting for the expected blow to the face. It didn't come. He opened his eyes and saw Asuka standing in front of him, her fist centimeters from his face. The glare told him that she wanted an explanation. The fist told him to give it fast. "Misato went out this morning before I woke up and posted a sign saying that she had locked the door because she didn't want Dr. Akagi sticking us in more tests." The sentence tumbled out so fast that he was sure she wouldn't understand.
"That is the dumbest thing I have ever head come out of your mouth, Third Child." Asuka told him. The fist completed its journey.
In a small room in Central Dogma, three females watched the events at the Katsuragi household. Ritsuko shook her head. "I really don't think this is going to work, Misato."
Misato grinned at her. "Have faith." She said cheekily.
"Have faith?" asked Ritsuko skeptically. Misato nodded.
"I have faith." She grabbed a can off the console. "Or at least, I have alcohol." She downed the beer and turned back to the screen. "That's true." Ritsuko sighed. "But I still think that this plan of yours is futile."
Finally the third female spoke. "I don't understand." Rei turned to face Misato. "What is the reason for locking Ikari-kun and Soryu-san in your apartment?"
Misato put on her 'teacher face' while Ritsuko burst into laughter. "It's like this, Rei. When a man and a woman are in love, it often takes them a lot of struggling to realize it. Therefore we have to put them in a situation where the only solution is to turn to each other for help."
"Wouldn't it be easier just to tell them?" asked Rei. Misato frowned.
"Where's the fun in that?" she demanded. Ritsuko hushed her.
"They're talking again." She told them. Rei and Misato looked back at the screen.
AN: So, that was the first chapter. As you can probably tell, this is going to be A/S. Or is it S/A? I can never get it straight. Oh well, too bad. Anyway, I've got the next few chapters out already, so read them before you comment.
