Hey people! Sorry for the looooooooooooooong wait, but like I've promised you last chapter, that I'm giving you the Christmas special. Now before I start this chapter, I need to tell you guys something. The first thing is that I got out of the hospital three days ago. The second thing is that I didn't mean to treat Shinji like that, but I have a reason for it. While I was in the hospital, my parents brought a photo album along (I really don't know why they did that, but I think its one of those things parents do) and I found a particularly amusing photo. If you read my bio, you'll know that me and Henry go way back since we were kids and that we go to the same school together since we were two. Now the photo was taken when we were in kindergarten during halloween. In the photo was Henry (of course), with strap on cat ears, while playing pull the tail (if you haven't played it before, it is a children's game where you shove a piece of rope in you pants and everyone tries to pull it off you, while trying not to get your 'tail' pulled in the same time). It was SO cute that I couldn't help putting it in my story.

Ok, I'm skipping out the part where Ritsuko and Yui explain their actions, but I'll put it two chapters later.

Gruggily, Shinji woke up and looked around his room. His clocked reads 5:00 pm with a greenish glow. Sighing and yawning gently he got up got dressed and decided to take a shower before making breakfast. 'Maybe if I make it early enough she won't start shouting,' thought Shinji as he turned on the shower. Even though Asuka have declared her feelings for him, she was still rather demanding. Carefully he washed his hair while trying not to get water in his new ears. Shinji frowned, he could still remember the school day when he came in with them.

~~~Flashback~~~

Shinji was one of those people who doesn't like to be late, but it seemed like today was one of those days where being late was unavoidable. Since Shinji was back to normal, it meant that he was once again in Asuka's whim from the bet. He was wearing a cap on his head. Although it was uncomfortable it hid his new ears well (his tail was tucked into his pants and shirt). Rushing to school while trying to carry Asuka's school bag as well as his own was tiring, but he finally made it to school. With his luck holding, he managed to rush into his classroom within five minutes before the bell rang. Exhaling a breath he was unaware of holding, Shinji ran to his seat where he dropped the bags and sat on his seat where he fell into blissful slumber. His moment of peace however was shattered by a female voice. A red-headed German voice to be excact. "Hey Shinji," said Asuka in her ultra cute voice. Moving a little so that he could see Asuka with his eyes, he saw that she had her evil trademark smirk on her face. "Say Shinji, nice hat," Asuka whispered into his ear. Suddenly Shinji bolted upright, his face white with fear.

"Asuka please, I beg you don't-"

"Take off your hat to show your kawaii ears?" interrupted Asuka. Shinji nodded meekly. Asuka narrowed her eyes and looked at Shinji straight into his eyes. After one minute, which seemed like eternity to Shinji, Asuka smiled one of her bright cheerful smiles and tapped Shinji on the nose. "Ok, but I expect a good dinner tonight." With that she walked off, but not without a evil plan in her mind. 'I may love the baka, but I still enjoy teasing him as much as the next guy,' Asuka thought as she sat down on her seat, at the excact same time the ball rang.

As usual the teacher walked in and as usual the student automatically tuned out off 'Boredom FM'. However when he read the roll he said something of interest.

"It seems here that Rei Ayanami's and Shana Akiri's sirnames are now Ikari." All the students eyes were averted towards Shinji, who was started to sweat nervously. However the teacher spoke up again and thus in the first time in the history of man, that the student actually listened. "It says here that they are now... siblings." The old teacher rised an eyebrow while reading this. As if this was the cue, Shana and Rei stepped through the door. Instantly all eyes were focused on them. Rei, who was used to this just stood there, but Shana, who was more like Shinji, started fidgeting nervously. Silently the pair walked down the aisle of tables. Shockingly Rei sat on the left of Shinji instead of her usual 'window seat'. Even more suprising was that before Rie sat down, she hugged Shinji and smiled. As if a miniture second impact exploded in the room, students were knocked back, fainted and muttering about the end of the world. In one corner a student was pointing a cross at Rei while muttering, "And lo, I looked on as he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great quake. The sun became as sackcloth and the moon as blood. The seas boiled and the skies fell...''

~~~end flashback~~~

Shinji sighed contently as he soaked in the warm water of the bath. It was good that Asuka was not up already, his ears were more sensitive and a screaming red-head does not help. He let out another content sigh before sinking back in thought of that day.

~~~Flashback~~~

After the little 'incident' class went on as usual, although half the class were in hospital treated for shock. A window appeared on the computer inviting to a chat room.

PurpleGaurdian: Hi Shinji!

CoolBlue: Hey mom

PurpleGaurdian: How did you like your suprise! You are now brothers and sisters! Don't worry about Rei, I know all about it. I knew Gendo's parents never let him have goldfishes for a pet, but I never knew he would go that far...

CoolBlue: Wow thanks mom, but how did you do it?

PurpleGuardian: Don't worry son, I owe you that after that little... 'thing'. As for how I did it, I had to ask your father. He was pretty stubborn, but I eventually 'convinced' him.

CoolBlue: Convince?

PurpleGuardian: Well... lets just say that pushing his glasses up is the last thing he wants to do right now...

Shinji was quite amused now, it had been a long time since someone gave him what he deserved. The last time that happened his desk became ground zero for Misato's verbal attacks. Kozo just left the room contemplating how Gendo would regret making his room sound proof. Looking up Shinji noticed that the teacher was sound asleep. 'So those sound reflectors that we installed on the covers of our computers do work,' Shinji said to himself. Once again his laptop beeped informing him another incoming messege.

AngelGirl: Hey bro!

SnowQueen: Hello onisan

CoolBlue: hi

'Shana must have had a major discussion with Rei, I've never saw her this...active before,' thought Shinji. Eversince Shana moved into Rei's apartment, Rei had been becoming more...human. Of course Shana's bubbly attitute had a major factor in it, although she still acts a lot like him.

AngelGirl: Did you get the notice?

CoolBlue: Notice?

AngelGirl: Yea the one about the parent interview in two days time. I can't wait to see father's reaction

CoolBlue: What makes you think that father will come to that meeting?

SnowQueen: I doubt father will want mother to 'convince' him again

Shinji cocked an eyebrow, 'Did Rei just crack a joke?'

AngelGirl: Anyways father must feel pissed off right now

CoolBlue: Why?

SnowQueen: Have you not noticed that he is the only Ikari that is unable to generate an AT field?

~~~end flashback~~~

After the warm and relaxing bath, Shinji dressed him self in his normal clothing, which was his white shirt and black slacks. Until they get him back to normal, he will have to wear a hat outside. However the ears were not as troublesome as his tail, which sometimes seemed to have a mind of its own. Humming a tune from his SDAT, Shinji put on his apron and went to the kitchen. It was a good thing Shinji enjoyed cooking or they would be dead right now. Misato's cooking was ample enough to knock out an angel, in fact the UN even got their hands on her 'curry suprise' recipe and used it in their chemical bombs. Asuka doesn't cook a lot and the last time she did, the apartment resembled something from the movie Aliens when they got back (Everyone stayed away from Pen Pen in fear that something may pop out of it after they found him in a strange web). As Shinji made pancakes, he thought back to that day again.

~~~Flashback~~~

Lunch was normal enough. After Asuka remodeled Touji's face with a cookie jar, the two of the three stooges were staying as far from her as possible. Shinji however was doomed to stay with Asuka, who was smiling contently at herself for an unknown reason.

~~~Flashback(is there such a thing as a flashback within a flashback?)~~~

Asuka knew very clearly why Shinji was wearing that cap and as much as Asuka wanted to knock that cap off him, she can't... but she could always find someone who can. Going on the student chat room, Asuka opened a chat window to the class rep Hikari.

RedDesire: Hey Hikari, are caps allowed in schools?

Enforcer: No, why?

RedDesire: Look at Ikari

Sure enough Hikari looked over to Shinji's desk and she saw Shinji's black cap.

Enforcer: I'll get him at lunch time

Smiling to herself inwardly with satisfaction, Asuka closed her laptop and went to sleep.

~~~end of the flashback within a flashback~~~

Noticing a incoming shadow, Shinji looked back. Behind him was Hikari, who was in her 'you-are-in-big-trouble-minster' stance (the one where she wears an angry look on her face while her hands are on her hips). Shinji gulped when he saw her, she was the last person he wanted to see. "Do you know caps are not part of the school uniform Mr Ikari?" lectured the class rep. Shinji was desperate, he was searching through his mind for ANYTHING that would prevent his hat from leaving his head. Finally he found his answer. Shinji looked Hikari in the eyes, then procceded to imitate one of Asuka's ultra kawaii puppy face looks. 'Damn he looks so cute,' thought Hikari, whose mind was melting. 'No... must remember the (class rep) force...yes... stand, bow, sit...yes, must not give in to the dark side...' To Shinji's dismay Hikari closed her eyes and swiped Shinji's hat off as though her was in some sort of a bazzare martial arts movie. Hikari literally facefaulted as she saw the ears. "Ok Mr Ikari, THAT is definitly not part of the school uniform, take it off NOW!"

"I-I can't," said Shinji who was sweating nervously from the intense gaze of the class rep.

"And why was that?" asked Hikari as she leaned over, while her hands were still on her hips. Luckily Shinji, who by now knows about his usual bad luck, has a backup plan. A note. Reaching for the note, Hikari read it. Silence. Shinji was sitting on his desk, nervously awaiting the class reps verdict. Slowly but surely Hikari's face looked up from the sheet of paper. If it was possible, Shinji grew more nervous from Hikari's curious gaze. Her hands reached out slowly, Shinji knew what she was going to do and grew even more edgey, one of his ears started twitching from the stress. Hikari stretched one finger out and delicatly poked one of his ears. She repeated this again, but with more determination. She did it again and again until she started patting it as though he was some sort of a cat. Shinji blushed from the contact. Meanwhile in the background you could see Asuka laughing her ass off. "Kawaii," whispered Hikari as she patted the soft brown fur.

"Hikari, could you please keep it a secret?" asked Shinji who was blushing furiously at the same time.

"Ok," said Hikari as she stopped and blushed as well when she relised what she was doing. Unforntunatly a group of girls just came into the classroom.

~~~end flashback~~~

Shinji sighed sadly as flipped the pancake. He could remember a huge group of girls surrounding him and started asking him questions such as, 'Can I touch your ears?', 'Will you go out with me?' etc. It got even worse when his tail made an appearance. However things got to the peak when someone in the background (it was actually Asuka, but Shinji didn't know) asked him to say 'meow'. Shinji winced from the memory. After that day he had to tie a ice bag on his tail and put bruise balm on his left ear for three days. And when Shana and Rei saw what was going on in the classroom, he could have sworn Rei started laughing and ran off to hide it. A yawn behind him indicated Asuka's arrival. "Hey Asuka," said Shinji without looking away as he prepared the table.

"Morning Shinji," said Asuka as she sat down on the table. "What's for breakfast?"

"Pancakes with maple syrup," answered Shinji. As if on cue, Misato made her appearance.

"Did I hear pancake?'' said Misato between a yawn. The question was then answered as Shinji walked out with a huge stack of pancakes. Misato and Asuka's eyes looked at the food hungrily.

"Merry Christmas," said Shinji as he laid the food on the table.

"Merry Christmas Shinji," said Asuka before attacking the pancakes. Shinji looked back where Misato was.

'Where did she go?' Shinji asked himself. Just then Shinji felt something on his head.

"Merry Christmas Shinji," said a cheerful Misato as she shoved the Santa hat onto an unwilling Shinji's head. "Hey you look pretty good with it," commented Misato.

"Really?" asked Shinji who was blushing slightly.

"Breakfast is getting cold," mumbled Asuka.

~~~~~

Meanwhile in the commander's office a lone figure stood behind the desk. Even after the commander was hospitalised, the sub-commander still could sit on that seat. However right now he was faced with a cruel choise. Should he post the picture where Gendo was out cold from the little suprise (complete with swirly eyes) or the Gendo getting pulverised by angry wife picture for the piture of the week.

~~~~~~

In the NERV Eva cages, the Evas too are making the most of Christmas. Yui was making roast Ramiel and mash Shamshiel for an Eva Christmas feast. The rest of them where in charge of decorations. Suddenly the MP Evas appeared. "We finally got that new paint job!" exclaimed the MP Evas. "Since its Christmas we got a new colour theme!" If Misato was there she would have said that they look like an overblown version of the PowerRangers.

"You do relised that they used 100 year paint this time," said Kyoko as she was setting up a gaint Mistletoe (lets hope no one ever goes under it).

"Huh?"

"Its called 100 year paint, because it suppose to last for a 100 years." The jaws on the Mp Evas literally came crashing down on the ground.

'Hmm, the Materiel needs more salt,' thought Yui. 'This must be one of the most normal Christmas ever,' thought the purple gaint. 'Well at least as normal as it can get,' added Yui as she witnessed Eva-00 tripped over from one of the decorations.

~~~Flashback~~~

It was Christmas in the Ikari household and Yui was making a delicious Christmas dinner. In a corner Shinji was playing with his toy cars while making crazy sound effects for them. The door opened and in the doorway stood Santa. "Hohoho," exclaimed Santa (who was really Gendo in a suit).

"Is it really you Santa?" asked a curious Shinji.

"Off course," said Gendo as cheerful as possible.

"Is that belly real?" asked Shinji again.

"Off course," said Santa/Gendo. 'He thinks I'm going to fall for that trick with the belly, Shinji thinks he is too smart for his own good' mused Gendo in his mind as he patted his fake belly with shock absorbers installed in it in case Shinji decides to punch it. 'Nothing ruins the 'Christmas Senario',' Gendo bragged in his mind. However Shinji had other ideas. Pulling from his pocket was a 9mm pistol. The one that Gendo always carries with him.

"Daddy said Santa is so fat that bullets can't hurt him," said Shinji in an inncoent tone which made the particular scene even more scary.

'Shit! I didn't think he took that seriously! I knew I should have listened to Yui and put the gun somewhere safe!' Gendo started panicing.

BANG!

'Pain!' thought Gendo as he blacked out.

~~~end flashback~~~

'At least Gendo still have one of his 'marbles' left,' thought Yui as she finished cooking her honey glazed Materiel. Driving a progressive fork into it, Yui took a sample. 'Perfect.'

~~~~~

"So now I have to wear this for the party?" asked Ritsuko with a cocked eyebrow. The three bridge bunnies nodded.

"You see its like you're santa and we are your helpers,'' said Maya cheerfully in a skimpy elf costume. Looking behind her Ritsuko could see the rest of the bridge bunnies in male versions of the costume. Then looking back at her equally skimpy santa costume, Ristuko sighed.

"What the heck..."

~~~~~

In heaven Christmas was a full blown party. Everyone was wearing a party hat (or absorbed in Liliel's case) and were enjoying them selves. In a corner, Zureal and Areal were having a discussion. "Is it just me or do liliums think that angels sing 24/7?" said Zureal as he sipped his eggnogg (spelling?). Areal merely shrugged.

"Lilums, who knows what they think."

~~~~~

The sub-commander was in his room, standing as usual. However a circle of soldiers surrounding him was anything but. "You know why we are here," said one of the soldier. He nodded to one man who later pulled out a Santa costume. "Suit up."

"What about Gendo?" asked the aging man.

"He did a re-run of Die Hard and he was shouting about losing his last marble," said the soldier dryly.

"...yes..."

~~~~~

Shinji, Asuka and Misato were walking into the command centre were the party was held. On the way they met Gendo who ran away at the sight of Shinji. "I thought the commander made amends with you?" said Misato who flicked the little puff ball on Shinji's Santa hat. Shinji frowned and shrugged.

"Come on baka," said Asuka as sdhe dragged Shinji to the nearest mistletoe (hopefully not the giant one in the EVA cage).

~~~~~

Gendo was in a random corner of NERV. He was hiding from something, namely anything that looks like Santa or Shinji. It was then Rei and Shana made their appearance. From her pocket Rei pulled out a pistol. Gendo started trembling noticably. Rei fired. Gendo blacked out. Unstead of a bullet, water came out instead. Rei shot the water at the commander's 'area' then procceded to pull out a camera.

"Say Santa," said Rei in monotone as she took a photo.

~~~~~

Meanwhile in the MP Eva's hanger, Misato was leering at the unfortunate bio-mechanical Evangelions.

"Sooo, how do you feel being oversized M&Ms?" asked Misato.

"Hey!"

"Its true you know," teased Misato.

"Say Katsuragi, you want to go under a mistletoe together?" asked Kaji who was trying to defuse the situation.

"Look Kaji, you are an Eva, dumbass. And if I have a mistleFOOT it will be in you ass."

They gulped.

~~~1 hour later~~~

In the Eva cages the Evas were enjpyong a nice game of March and Conquer. Eva-01 who has a gigantic Santa hat on her horn decides to attack Eva-00, while munching of Materiel. "Hey quit ganging up on me!" shouted the blue cyclopes.

"What makes you think I am?" asked Yui.

"You are tapping morse code on my foot."

~~~~~

Well that's part one of it. Please review.
