------------------------------
The young girl had been sat in the darkness for longer than she could remember. She couldn't see anything around her, not even her own hand.
Man's voice: What are you doing here?!
Girl: Daddy?
Women's Voice: You shouldn't be here!
Girl: Mummy?!
A white light formed in front of the young girl and all she could see was two black silhouettes in front of her, one a man and the other a women.
Man: We don't want you here!
Girl: Why Daddy?
Women: You shouldn't be here!
Girl: Why Mummy?!
Man: You Shouldn't be here!
Girl: But I want to be here with you!
Women: We don't want you here!
Girl: Please Mummy I want to be with you!
Man: We don't want you here!
Girl: Please Daddy! Let me be with you!
Man &Women: We don't want you here! You shouldn't be here.
Girl: No, please! Mummy, Daddy I want to be with you!
Man &Women: We don't want you here! You shouldn't be here.
Girl: No! Please! Mummy! Daddy! Let me stay with you! Please!
Man &Women: We don't want you here! You shouldn't be here.
Girl: Don't leave! Don't push me away! Let me be with you!
Man &Women: We don't want you here! You shouldn't be here.
Girl: No! Daddy-!
Before anything else can be said the man's silhouette reached down and pushed the child away.
Man: We don't want you here! You shouldn't be here!
The young girl flew back violently the push had more force than any normal man could ever have and as the girl fell back the light exploded and tore the silhouettes asunder.
The girl fell and fell for longer than time could conceivably allow until she hit something. There was a horrible crack as she was thrown forward, landing face down on the floor. Feeling behind her head she felt dampness and a sharp pain shot through her skull.
Girl: What's happening? Where am I?
The young girl stood swaying side to side and began to walk forward, Trying to feel her way though the darkness and pain. Suddenly a young boy appeared before her.
Boy: Hay, are you okay? Give me you hand.
The young boy reached out to the young girl and after a little bit of thought she took the offered hand. As she did the boy changed to a very familiar face for the young girl.
Girl: Martin!
Martin's warm smile turned to a look of shear disgust as he gripped the young girls arm tight and then pushed her back.
Martin: What the hell! I don't want anything to do with a little brat like you! Why don't you just get lost?
Martin turned his back on her and started to walk away into the darkness.
Girl: No! Don't leave! Not again!
Martin turned, sneered and then snorted in disgust. The young girl tried to run after him but just as she did the form of Evangelion Unit Seven appeared. It reached down and took Martins small form in its grasp lifting him far off the ground. Once the Eva had lifted him as far as it could a voice rumbled though the darkness.
Voice: NOBODY WANTS YOU!
The Eva's hand closed and an endless shower of crimson blood pored down over it. A new sound joined the voices this time it was a scream, the terrified scream of the little girl.
Girl: AHHHHHHHHHHHH-
Mandy: -AAHHHHHHHH! Huff, huff, huff! That dream again! Sob, sob, Why do I keep having the same nightmare, sob, sob.
Mandy curled up into her sheets and wept herself to sleep again but she didn't find peace, as she knew the dreams would come to haunt her again.
-&-
[Flashback] Martin: Well what do you think of Shinji?
Rei: Pilot Ikari?
Martin: Ye, do you like him?
Rei remained quite as a slight blush filled her cheeks.
Martin: Well?
Rei: Maybe...
Martin: Ah ha! You do hehe I can tell a "maybe" means yes 90% of the time.
Martin beamed happily doing a peace sign to Rei, getting no response he sweat dropped and turned around embarrassed.
Martin: Well any way I think you should tell him how you feel, Rei. I think Shinji could do with a girl.
Rei: I...I don't know...
[End flashback]
Rei: Do I really have feelings for Ikari-Kun? I'm not sure. When I am with him it does seam to fill some of this empty feeling I posses inside of me but I do not understand why...What are these feeling I have for Ikari?
Rei watched Shinji through her monitor, as she thought of the young Ikari, unaware that a certain red haired girl was watching her, at the same time. Asuka was watching and with every second that passed her anger grew.
Asuka: Why the hell am I angry? There's no _way_ I'm jealous! Why would I be jealous over wondergirl looking at _my...I mean looking at stupid baka over there!
Shinji unaware that he was the centre of attention of two girls at the same time, sat back and relaxed in the warmth of the LCL filled entry plug. Even if it did have a strange smell he couldn't quite place, the warmth was still relaxing to him, like the warm embrace of a mother, which he hadn't experienced in a long time. However today he felt slightly uncomfortable.
Shinji: Why do I feel like I'm being watched?
Like the others Martin was also deep in his own thoughts.
Ritsuko: We're ready to begin, Major.
Misato: Great. Okay guys are you ready to begin?
All four pilots coursed that they were ready and closed their eyes as Misato gave Ritsuko the go ahead to start the test.
Ritsuko: Then lets begin.
Above all the commotion in a small observation room stood two figures. One was a man who's steely glare could cut through glass better than the most precious diamond and the other man was older but was the much more humane sub-commander of NERV.
Kozo: I hear that Unit 08 is being flown over from England tomorrow.
The older of the two men stated. Gendo did not turn his gaze from the test as he spoke.
Gendo: That is correct.
Kozo: It would have been nice to know about things like this in advance.
Gendo: It was an unimportant detail.
Kozo: I would have thought having a new Evangelion flown in after what happened last time would be a very import detail.
Gendo: I assure you there is no need for worries.
A small grin passed over Gendo's lips as he turned and walked smugly out of the room.
Kozo: If you say so.
After one last glance through the observation window Kozo also turned and left.
-&-
Back in England Commander Hutchinson was in his office behind his white desk. It soon became apparent that he was discussing something on the phone.
Hutchinson: You will be accompanying the Seventh Child to Japan, as you know the pilot well.
Voice on phone: Understood sir.
Hutchinson: You'll be leaving on a super carrier jet at O-Eight hundred.
Voice: Yes sir.
Hutchinson: Very well good luck lieutenant Luckman.
Voice: Yes sir. Goodbye sir.
The other end of the phone went dead and Commander Hutchinson hung up the receiver and gave a small laugh and smile.
Hutchinson: With a name like Luckman I don't think he'll need much luck
-&-
Ritsuko: Okay you four the test is over, you can get out now.
Asuka: Finally, I want to go home and take a bath.
Asuka chirped irritably as the LCL fluid drained from her plug.
Misato: Sorry you can't go quite yet.
Asuka: What!
Shinji: Why not Misato?
Misatos face appeared in a hovering window with an apologetic smile on it.
Misato: Sorry guy's it'll only be for a minute. I have something I need to tell all four of you. Come to the debriefing room when you're done changing, okay?
Asuka: Do I have to-?
Misato: Asuka don't make me make it an order, please.
Asuka: Gerrr. Fine!
Misato: Good Girl.
Misato grind and then her image disappeared leaving a wet and steamed Asuka alone in her entry plug.
Asuka: God Damn it!
-&-
All four of the Eva pilots were now stood in the debriefing room. Even though they were where they were supposed to be something was missing.
Asuka: Typical. Misatos late like always.
Shinji: I'm sure she'll be here soon.
Asuka: Don't you start defending her Third Child! I want to go home so she better hurry up or else-
Suddenly the door opened and in walked Misato as if on cue.
Misato: Or else what? Asuka?
Misato grind as she looked at the embarrassed teen. Getting no reply except for a pissed off glared Misato made her way to the front of the room. Asuka leaned over and whispered to Shinji.
Asuka: I swear she hides behind that door and waits 'till we're pissed off.
Misato: Okay now that we're all together I can tell you what I wanted to tell you. It looks like we're having yet another new pilot.
Asuka: What?! Another one! Don't they think we can handle it or something? Me and the Third Child here even managed to kill the last Angel with out wonder girl or the waste of space rookie here.
Martin suddenly snapped from his thoughts apparently Asuka's comment was the only part of the conversation he'd caught.
Martin: Hay!
Misato put here hands up to silence Asuka.
Misato: Listen Asuka it's not we don't think you can handle it. It's just it's better to be safe than sorry. What happens if a mass of Angels attack? How are you going to handle them all by yourself?
Asuka: I can handle myself! I killed the last angel didn't I?
Misato: With Shinji's help.
Asuka glared at Shinji, who just shrunk into his chair.
Martin: So who is it any way?
Misato: I don't have any exact details yet.
Asuka: Like always, where are they from this time? The North Pole!
Misato: Actually I do know that this pilot is also from England
Asuka & Shinji & Martin: What!
Asuka: Some one else from England! Why can't we have some one from Germany?
Misato: That's just the way it goes Asuka. *Sigh* what is up with Asuka today she's getting upset other every thing today, not that it's unusual for her but it's really getting on my nerves.
Martin: Well it'll nice to be able to talk to some one from home again. Not that I liked being in England but it'll be nice to see how things are going.
Shinji: Misato? When will they be here?
Misato: Tomorrow.
Asuka jumped up from her seat and stared angrily at Misato.
Asuka: Tomorrow! How come no ones been sent to get them like I had to be to get the stupid Sixth Child over there!?
Before Martin could complain, Misato intervened.
Misato: Because, Asuka this time the Eva's being flown over by jet, they set of this morning and should get here by tomorrow night.
Shinji: That's fast.
Misato: Yes it's one of the new carrier jets made to transport the Eva's.
There was a long silence. Finally Asuka chips away at it.
Asuka: Is that it?
Misato: Well ye. Oh and you'll see the Seventh Child at school so make sure to make him.or her feel welcome.
Asuka: Ye, what ever.
The children all began to stand and leave, suddenly Misato shouted over to Shinji.
Misato: Shinji! Could you guys order out? I'm going to be working late tonight.
Shinji and Asuka both signed in relief. At least they wouldn't have to have their stomachs pumped tonight.
Shinji: Okay Misato, good night.
Misato: You too.
The children left, leaving Misato to her own devices. Walking towards the elevator Asuka was not happy, then again she hadn't been happy about anything from the start. First a stupid test then getting worked up over Wonder Girl and just now having to deal with Misatos stupid meeting.
Asuka: She made me wait so long just to tell us about THAT! Stupid Misato.
Martin: Ye it was a bit pointless.
They stood in the elevator for a while in a thick chocking silence.
Shinji: Well ermmm.
Shinji started clumsily, unnerved by the silence.
Shinji: ...erm what do you want to order for dinner Asuka.
Suddenly a thought came to Asuka, this could be her chance to beet Rei to the punch.
Asuka: Why do we have to eat in Third Child? Let's eat out for a change. I'm tired of being stuck in that stupid apartment all the time.
Shinji: I guess but shouldn't we ask Misato first?
Asuka's expression turned to anger as she looked at Shinji.
Asuka: Honestly! Why do you have to be such a boy scout! We don't have to ask Misato and whether you like it our not we ARE going OUT!
Shinji once again receded into the collar of his shirt, something that was becoming such a regular occurrence most people would probably have thought that he was a turtle.
Shinji: O...OK...
Asuka turned with a "humph", disgusted with the young boys lack of a spine.
Asuka: Baka Third Child.
Asuka took a quick lance at Rei but the young blue haired girl didn't seam fazed at all by anything that had just happened.
-&-
Martin Closed his apartment door behind him and slung his bag onto a nearby chair before slumping onto the bed with a sigh. He lay there for a few minutes before shoving his head into his pillow and letting out a frustrated scream, muffling it with the softness of his pillow before abruptly sitting up and throwing it across the room.
Martin: FUCKING HELL! Argh First Ian and Mandy won't answer their phones or my letters and now their numbers no longer in service! What the hells going on! I've been thinking about it ALL DAY but I can't think of a reason!
Martin slumped onto the bed.
Martin: ...I just want to know what's going on... Do they hate me? ...If they did...I don't think I could cope with it.
Martin reached under his bed where he pulled out a sketchbook, he opened it and on the page was a half finished picture of three people smiling. Pulling the pencil from the rings at the top he continued to quietly sketch in the dark, quietness of his room.
-&-
In the reclusive darkness of his office, the NERV commander, Gendo sat at his desk while Ritsuko updated him on the current status of the Evangelions from a clipboard she held in her hand.
Ritsuko: The repairs to Unit 02 where complete yesterday but the repairs to Unit 01 won't be complete until tomorrow morning.
Lowering her clipboard she peered over it at the man in front of her.
Gendo: Very good.
Ritsuko: Oh, yes and tomorrow afternoon we will be running some new tests on Eva 00 and the activation test of the new Evangelion, Unit 07.
Gendo: Excellent, inform me of the results of both tests after they are complete.
There was an uneasy silence as Ritsuko stared at the glasses wearing man as if in anticipation.
Gendo: ...yes?
Ritsuko: W-will there be anything else...commander?
Gendo: That will be all, Doctor.
Ritsuko: But-
Gendo: I said, "That will be all", Doctor Akagi.
Ritsuko face flashed with disappointment but then returned to a neutral mask.
Ritsuko: Yes sir.
Turning on her heals she headed out of Gendo's office. She rubbed her eyes from the change of light.
Ritsuko: Bastard, he only cares about me when he has a use for me. What about my feelings? As if he cares.
Ritsuko sighed and then continued down the brightly light corridor.
-&-
Shinji and Asuka walked alone together through the dark streets of Tokyo-3, neither saying anything as they walked. Just like usual Asuka was the first to break the silence.
Asuka: Well?!
Shinji almost jumped out of his skin as Asuka stopped and yelled at him.
Shinji: W-What?
Asuka sighed an irritated sigh as she put her hands on her hips.
Asuka: Well, where do you want to eat? You idiot.
Shinji: I don't know.
Asuka: Gerrr- Fine!
Shinji: Wha-
Before Shinji could ask the red haired teenager pulled him down the street. After a while they jolted to a halt out side a restaurant but not just any restaurant it was the most expensive one in all of Tokyo-3 and commonly frequented by couples wanting a bit of romantic wining and dinning.
Asuka: We'll eat here then!
Shinji: What?
Asuka's eyebrow twitched as she turned to Shinji quickly. Shinji didn't know how but he could tell, in more ways than one that he'd pissed her off.
Asuka: Are "what" and "sorry" the only words you can say?
Shinji: Sor-
Asuka slapped her hand over Shinji's mouth before he could finish.
Asuka: Don't! Even bother saying anything, I know what the answer is already, 'sorry' right? Didn't I just tell you I'm tired of hearing you say sorry all the time?
Shinji had to stop himself from saying the hated line once again as he tried to respond to Asukas questions.
Asuka: I guess I was right, you can't say anything other than sorry.
Shinji: Yes I can!
Asuka turned and walked away from the young boy.
Asuka: Bullshit!
With out saying another word Asuka headed off into the night leaving Shinji behind.
Shinji: *What the hell just happened here?* Fine, if that's how she wants it.
Shinji turned and headed off in the direction of their apartment.
-&-
Asukas pace slowed as she reached a nearby park, it would have been pitch black if it weren't for the odd streetlight along the path.
Asuka: Baka Shinji! It's his fault that this happened! Why does he have to be such a wimp all the time?
Asuka came to an old wooden bench and sat down hard with an angry "humph".
Asuka: All I wanted was something to eat and he has to be an idiot again. All I did was say he says sorry too much...well maybe I did give him a much harder time than was-
Asuka violently shuck her head with both hands.
Asuka: What the hell am I saying! It's all that little bakas fault! If he'd grow some backbone and stop acting like a little mamas boy then I wouldn't get as worked up as I do with him.
Asuka stood up and kicked the bench. After a while of throwing death glares at the unresponsive park bench she sat back down, folding her arms.
Asuka: *Now what am I going to do? There's no way in hell I'm going back home yet but it's not like I can avoid it, I have to go back some time. Screw it I'll just sit her for a while*
And so she sat there content on sticking with her choice of staying away from the apartment as long as possible.
While all this was happening, silently above, dark, thick rain clouds gathered, unseen because of the night sky.
-&-
Rei stood in her shower, she didn't attempt to wash, she just stood under the stream of water and let it wash over her ivory white skin.
Rei: What is this feeling?
Flashback: Asuka: Why do we have to eat in Third Child? Let's eat out for a change. I'm tired of being stuck in that stupid apartment all the time.
Shinji: I guess but shouldn't we ask Misato first? End Flashback.
Rei: Is it regret? When I think of that I feel as if I have been... cheated...but why? Why have I started to develop these feelings and why are they directed at Pilot Ikari?
Rei Stepped out of the shower and began to dry herself with a nearby towel.
Rei: I think I should seek counselling on the subject but who do I talk to? I feel that talking to commander Ikari would not prove beneficial, as he would only say that such feelings are useless and not required for my role.
Rei sat on her bed as she finished towel drying her hair. Dropping the towel on the floor she picked a white shirt up off her bed and put it on, butting it up as she thought.
Rei: Speaking to Pilot Ikari directly would not help either as he would only react strangely to my line of questioning and not be able to tell me what I need to know.
Finished dressing herself she sat on the bed.
Rei: Perhaps the best course of action is to consult Pilot Perish, as he is the first person to express a view on a relationship between pilot Ikari and myself.
Rei thought for a while as she looked at her feet.
Rei: Yes, that is a suitable course of action. I will see pilot Perish tommrow after the Unit 00 tests.
Content with her decision rei folded back the sheets to her bed and got in, instantly falling into a dreamless sleep.

Radio: Current Terrorist attacks in the United Kingdoms have increased almost ten fold this year and the number of victim's involved has increased even more dramatically. In the city of Manchester martial law has been implemented for a limited time to try and gain control over the current situation. This is Radio One News, Japan, I'm Bob Nelson and now the weather.
There was a small musical interlude and then a woman could be herd over the radio.
Radio: Thank you Bob. Tonight we're expecting a fierce storm so make sure to keep rapped up and don't go out unless you really need too. Tomorrow, however will be sunny with highs of 30* in some parts of the country. For the rest of the week-
The small radio shut off with a click and the speaker went dead.
Shinji let out a saddened sigh and took a sip of his tea before placing it down on the dinner table and looking out of a nearby window.
Shinji: I hope Asuka and Misato come back soon, other wise their going to be soaked.
He looked at the tea, cradled in his hands quietly for a while.
Shinji: Why does Asuka have to be so mean? What else am I supposed to say apart from sorry, it was my fault she was angry but does she have to be such a...such a bitch some times? I can't even apologise for pissing her off because it'll just make her angrier.
Shinji was interrupted from his thoughts by a rapping sound coming from the window.
Shinji: Looks like the rain's started already.
Finishing his tea, he then cleaned his cup and headed to his room. As he reached his door the phone rang. Quickly Shinji went back to the kitchen and answered it.
Shinji: Asuka? Oh, Misato it's you...What is it?
Shinji's voice was filled with disappointment as he discovered it wasn't who he hoped it was.
On the other end of the phone Misato's voice could be heard.
Misato: Hi, Shinji, listen I won't be coming home tonight...I've got some more work to do.
Shinji: Oh.
Misato: Ye, I just go t it and...Erm...I need to have it done tomorrow so I won't see you until tommrow night, ok?
Shinji: Okay. Good night then Misato, I guess.
Misato: Good night, Shinji. Oh and try to get along with Asuka tonight okay? I don't want to come home to World War 3.
Shinji hesitated a little before answering Misato after which she laughed and hung up. He placed the receiver down and sighed as Pen Pen waddled up to him.
Shinji: Well, I guess it's just you and me tonight, Pen Pen.
Pen Pen: Squawk.
Shinji: Ye I know.
Patting Pen Pen on the head, Shinji headed to his room and Pen Pen waddled off to his fridge.
-&-
Misato pressed the off button on her phone and placed it on a nearby wooden dresser.
Misato: Are you sure this is a good idea? Leaving them on their own.
A familiar pair of arms rapped around Misato as she sat on the end of the bed, it soon became apparent that their owner and Misato were completely naked.
Kaji: Don't worry, they'll be fine Asuka and Shinji can look after their selves and besides it's not like it's the first time they've been left alone together.
Misato: I guess your right.
Kaji turned Misato around and gave her a passionate kiss on the lips.
Kaji: Like I said, don't worry. Now, didn't you say you have some work to do?
Kaji laid back pulling Misato with him. She giggled as they kissed.
Misato: Oh, yes sir.
-&-
Shinji's homework laid open on his desk only half finished and the boy himself was gazing up to the ceiling from his bed. Listening to his SDAT, his quite room was filled with the faint sound of a song from the late nineteenth centenary and the rapping of rain on the nearby windows.
The wind picked up fiercely outside and made the rain splash against the apartment windows faster and nosier.
Shinji: I wonder if Asuka's still outside in this weather, I haven't noticed her come home yet. Maybe she went to Hikari's.
Shinji rolled over on his bed and looked at his workbooks.
Shinji: Maybe I should go look for her? It's not like I'm going to get much work done today. Then again her seeing me now would just piss her off even more.
-&-
Pen Pen couldn't sleep and decided that he'd get a quick drink out of the other fridge. As he walked along the kitchen he heard a just audible hiss sound from the front room. Curious he decided to peak around the corner. The air grew deathly cold and he could hear a sound reminiscence of a wet cloth being flung around.
He silently headed towards the front door to investigate. A horrible, shadowy creature jumped around the corner and grabbed a hold of the surprised penguin before it had time to scream. It lifted the penguin up and towards what Pen Pen could guess was it's head and then a giant mouth opened. As Pen Pen was pulled towards it he struggled and tried to scream but he couldn't. Finally he was in the tooth-lined jaws of the creature and slowly they descended on him.
Pen Pen: Squawk!!
Pen Pen woke with a start checking his surroundings; to his relief he found he was still safe and sound in his fridge. The poor hot water bird's throat was dry and sour from the nightmare and so he opened his fridge door hoping to get a drink.
As he walked along the kitchen he heard an audible hissing sound from the front room. Curious he decided to peak around the corner. The air grew deathly cold and he could hear a sound reminiscence of a wet cloth being flung around.
Pen Pen's dream replayed it's self in his mind and he hesitated but he couldn't seem to stop himself replaying the scene.
He silently headed towards the front door to investigate and a horrible, shadowy creature jumped around the corner and the small Penguin let out a startled squawk as the creature grabbed him.
Shinji jumped off his bed and bounded for his door.
Shinji: Pen Pen, what's wrong?!
Running into the living room and switching the light on at the same time he was greeted with the site of an almost drowned Asuka grabbing the beak of a still spooked Pen Pen, to try and silence him.
Shinji: ...Asuka?
Pen Pen stopped squirming and finally looked at his assailant.
Asuka was quiet, she almost looked sad but that soon passed as her features took on one of her more common expressions, anger.
Asuka: What the hell do you want dumkopf!
She dropped Pen Pen and headed to her room her clothes slapping nosily as she walked. If it wasn't for the fact Asuka was pissed, Shinji would have probably laughed.
Asuka's door slammed as she entered, making Shinji and Pen Pen wince simultaneously.
-&-
Half an hour had passed since Asuka had gotten home and Shinji had been sat in the living room since then, waiting for her to come back out of her room. Finally deciding to do something instead of sitting around, he went to the towel closet and brought out two towels.
He stopped outside Asuka's door and hesitated a while before knocking.
Shinji: Asuka? D-do you want to dry off? I've got a towel you can use.
He stood and waited for some kind of reply but there was no answer.
Shinji: Well if you want them, they're out here for you. I'm going to bed.
Still there was no reply and so he placed the towels on the floor and turned away.
Shinji: Well...good night.
Shinji went to his room and slumped onto his bed.
Shinji: *How am I going to say sorry? It's my fault she stayed out there all this time.*
He once again looked to his schoolwork on his desk and then was given an idea. He sat down at his desk, took his pen and retrieved a new, clean peace of paper.
Shinji: Maybe I can write it.
Shinji started to write but near enough straight away he crunched the paper up and through it an in small, paper basket nearby.
Shinji: That's no good.
Once again getting a fresh peace of paper he started over.
-&-
Once Asuka was certain than Shinji was gone, she pocked her head out of her door and picked up the towels. After double-checking she was alone for probably the third time she headed towards the bathroom.
-&-
It had been almost two hours since Shinji had attempted righting his 'sorry' letter, the nearby paper basket was over flowing, the day was coming into the very early hours of the morning and Shinji was sleeping like a log with his face flat on the desk and a strew of crumpled and scribbled on paper around him.
Asuka: *Well at least I feel a little better now.*
Asuka pulled the bathroom door aside and walked out with a red towel rapped around her body and head. As she passed Shinji's room a cold gust of air blew through a small crack that had been left from Shinji not closing his door entirely.
Asuka: What the hell? Hay Shinji, close that damn window or do you want to give us both pneumonia?
She didn't get any reply so she banged on the door.
Asuka: Baka, did you hear me?!
Finally giving up on shouting, she reached for the door handle ready to rip it open.
Asuka: I swear Third Child, if I see ANYTHING I don't want to see, I WILL kill you!
With these final words she swung open the door expecting Shinji to be getting up to something either really stupid or really perverted but to her surprise Shinji wasn't in his bed, instead she saw him lay across his desk pen still in hand.
Asuka: He must really be stupid if he was working so hard he fell asleep.
Once again the wind picked up and kicked up the bottom of Asukas towel.
Asuka: Argh! God damn it! How the hell can he have a window open in this weather!?
Asuka stormed over and closed the window with a thud.
Asuka: There.
As Asuka turned to leave she stood on something, bending down to investigate she discovered it was a peace of paper.
Asuka: Not only is he a stupid pervert he's also a slob! He really needs to tidy his room.
Apparently she had forgotten about her own 'little mess' back in her room.
Just before she screwed up the offending item she noticed her name scribbled in black ink.
Asuka: I don't believe it! The little ass hole was writing about me!
She unscrewed the peace of paper and tried to read what she could of the scribbled Kanji on the paper.
Asuka: Asuka, I'm really sorry about all the trouble I wish I could say it another way but...
Asuka flipped the paper back and forth, trying to find the rest of the note but the letter just abruptly stopped. Picking up more peaces of paper off the floor, she discovered they nearly all said the same sought of things but in different ways.
Asuka: *With all these pieces of paper he must have been writing for ages trying to get it right.*
Finally her eyes came to rest on a neatly folded peace of paper hanging out of an envelope on the table with the words 'to Asuka' written neatly on the front. As she reached to pick it up, Shinji stirred and Asuka froze.
Asuka: *Should I really read it?*
Shinji: Asuka...
Asuka jumped back, thinking she was caught in the act of going through Shinji's stuff. Her mind whirled as she tried to come up with an excuse.
Shinji: Asuka...I'm sorry...for saying sorry so much...zzzzzzz
She relaxed at the realization that Shinji was just talking in his sleep. She began to clean up the paper's she had read when she saw Shinji shiver.
Shinji: ...cold...
As she finished moving the paper she already had in hand, Asuka went to Shinji's bed and took the duvet off and carefully laid it over the young boys sleeping form.
Asuka: Baka.
Shinji: Thank you...zzzz.....zzzz
She smiled as Shinji also smiled contently in his worriless sleep. Silently she headed back towards the bedroom door planning on sleeping herself. But just as she was going to close the door behind her...
Shinji: Asuka! ... Why's the banana in the road?
Asuka quickly clasped her hand over her mouth in an attempt to muffle her laughter as she went into her room.
That night both teens smiled all night as they slept.
-&-
Shinji: Zzzzz- THE PONY'S COMING!
Shinji jumped up with a start, sending his desk chair hurtling backwards behind him. Looking around franticly he found himself safe in his own room. Letting out a sigh of relief he picked up his chair and started to clean up the papers on his desk. While he was moving one peace of paper he found the watch that he had taken off the previous night, below it.
Shinji: Oh crap! I'm gonna be late!
Shinji quickly dropped the papers he had in hand, into the bin and because it was full already, they just rolled on the floor but Shinji was in too much of a rush to notice or care.
As he grabbed his uniform and headed to the bathroom he noticed Asuka stood outside his door grinning, making him feel very uneasy.
Asuka: Well you better hurry up if you don't want to be late-
Asuka lent forward a bit and her grin widened.
Asuka: Or maybe the Pony can take you.
Asuka laughed at the embarrassed boy as she turned away and he ran to the bathroom, his face a brighter red than Asukas plug suit.
-&-
Shinji ran out of the bathroom, fully dressed in his school uniform now and he picked up his book bag as he rushed past his bedroom.
Shinji: I'm sorry Asuka I'm not going to have time to make our lunch again, today.
As he spoke a brown paper bag came flying his way, he caught it just before it impacted with his face.
Asuka: Don't worry I already took the liberty. Now get your ass out that door Third Child!
Shinji did a comical salute and then did as the 'want-to-be-major' asked. After he was out of the door Asuka picked up her bags and left too.
-&-
Shinji lent forward to catch his breath as he and Asuka arrived at the main gate to the school.
Asuka: Where the hell is every one?
Shinji: Crap maybe we're so late every one's already in lessons.
Shinji and Asuka both ran through the front door. There was no one else around except for the two students that had just entered. Walking further down the corridor they looked into each class they passed.
Shinji: They're, they're all gone...
Asuka glanced at the clock above one of the black boards and then she looked at Shinji, who was inspecting a closet in the back of the room.
Asuka: Oh, Third Child.
An audible gulp echoed in the cupboard as Shinji turned at the sound of Asuka's strange tone of voice.
Shinji: Erm, yes...Asuka?
Asuka put her hands on her hips as she turned her body towards Shinji.
Asuka: What time is it?
Shinji looked at his wristwatch before answering Asuka.
Shinji: Erm, it's Eight Thirty.
Asuka shook her head and pointed, Shinji's eye's followed her finger to the clock hanging on the wall. Then realisation struck.
Shinji: Crap...Erm, I forgot.
Asuka: Forgot what?
Shinji rubbed the bridge of his nose as he looked at the floor with a red face.
Shinji: Erm, d-day lights saving time...The clocks went back.
Asuka through her book bag and it slid along the floor.
Asuka: Gerr, Anta baka! Why didn't you change the clocks!
Shinji: Hay you didn't change it either.
Asuka: I wasn't supposed to!
Both teenagers we're getting closer and closer as they argued until finally theirs noses we're almost touching.
Shinji: Neither was I!
Asuka: Then who was supposed to-
Asuka stopped as she and Shinji both realised, and in the same monotone voice they spoke one name.
Asuka & Shinji: Misato.
For some reason the fiery red head wasn't ready to give up the fight yet, needing some one to blame for her misfortune right there and then she turned back to Shinji.
Asuka: Well why didn't you know to change them!
Shinji: You're no better! Why didn't you change them?
Asuka: Because you're a man and should remember to do theses things!
Touji: Well either the newly weds are fighting or they're about to kiss.
Both turning to face the source of the voice they saw Kensuke, grinning with his video camera in hand and Touji with his hands clasped together, making kissing faces. Asuka stormed up to Touji and grabbed his collar.
Asuka: If you ever want to be able to kiss someone one-day, I suggest you shut the hell up!
Kensuke: Wow this is great.
Kensuke was still filming as Asuka took the camera from him and held it on high above her head where Kensuke couldn't reach.
Kensuke: Hay give that back!
The young glasses wearing boy tried desperately to retrieve his beloved device but the red demon kept it just out of his reach all the time. Shinji laughed at the scene and then the rest of the student began to enter and things seamed to calm down except for t he now standard gossip about a new student , when one is going to show up.
Touji, Shinji and Kensuke were sat around Shinji's desk as they observed the rumours that flew around them.
Shinji: So much gossip and rumours.
Touji: Tell me about it. We're the hell do these girls get all this information.
Both boys turned to Kensuke as he let off a strange laugh and the light glinted an evil way as he corrected their position. Shinji and Touji thought they'd get a little more distance from their slightly 'odd' friend as they moved back.
Touji: So what the hell have you been up to this time? You've been hacking your dad's computer again, haven't you?
Shinji shock his head as Kensukes grin widened even more.
Touji: I thought so. So what did you get?
Kensuke: Well I found out that the new student is from England, in fact the very same place a certain Mr. Perish came from...
Kensuke did a dramatic pause, as he looked side-to-side and then leaned closer to his counter parts.
Touji: And...
Kensuke: And...I got this-
The spy in training reached into his back pockets and then slapped something on the table.
Touji: Wow! Where the hell did you get this! She's a babe!
Touji Picked up the picture with both hands.
Touji: Hay Shinji! Look at this!
Shinji looked over his friends shoulder to see what he was talking about. On the picture was a young brown hair girl, slightly tanned, with greyish, green eyes.
Shinji: *Where have I seen her before- Oh god!*
The bell rang and Kensuke quickly stuck his 'intel' swiftly back into his pocket as the last few student, including the Sixth Child, Martin walked into class with the old sempai not far behind. Giving a quick wave to Shinji and the gang, Martin took his seat as Hikari did her rise, bow, site routine.
Taisho: Good morning students. It seams yet again we have another new student...
As the teacher began a small speech to introduce the new student Martin had a message flash on his screen.
Kanon D-dur Martin, there's something I need to tell you about the new student! Rogue Angel What is it Shinji? Kanon D-dur Well I think you'll be a little shocked.. Rogue Angel What already?! Kanon D-dur The thing is you already know her. Rogue Angel What!!!
Martin quickly looked up from his computer screen to the teacher.
Taisho: And now students I'm happy to introduce our new student all the way from England.
A young girl, with long brow hair stepped through the door and stood in front of the class with a bow.
Girl: Hi I'm Mandy Newlife, I'm glad to meet you.
Mandy looked at Martin and winked, he on the other hand was shell shocked and unable to do anything.
Martin: *Oh god...*

OHAYO!!!
Well guys it's been a looooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggg Time since the last chapter and I sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Sorry! I am I really, really am but I finish college soon so I should have more time to work on the story YAY! ^^
I hoped you liked this story and I hope I didn't go O.O.C with the character's too much (for some reason I think I have), I'm sorry I haven't done much on Rei I'm just trying to figure some stuff out. You see I had everything planned out but that was in my head so I kinda forgot some details, sorry ^^; (damn it, I really need to start making notes of my ideas or something!).
I hope you're happy now that Mandy's back (yay!) but then that's not the only new surprises hehehe. Oh and this chapter was going to be longer and include the events from episode eleven but then it would have been wayyyy too long (like all these wayyy too lonnnggg words, lol).
Well that's it for now and here's a little omake for you (courtesy of my girlfriend not me so please don't flame me for any rudeness, O.O.C or new characters getting off with the cast of NGE, after all it's only in fun, lol).
THIS O-MAKE IS RATED 18! SO YOU MINORS GET THE HELL OUT! Please hehe ^^.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- Shinji ended up spunking his pants because Asuka had big tits plus she had a nipple on which didn't help Shinji at all. So now he was 100 % wet. Asuka finally woke up an hour later finding out the room stunk of cum and there was also a drop on her lips. She loved the taste and wanted more do she tried to find Shinji but he had ran of some where so Asuka ended up raping the first person she saw, which happened to be Martin.
Martin: Hey Asuka, hey what the hell do you think your doing! Get off"
Asuka: Give me your cum now before you end up dead!
Martin: Leave that alone, hey!
Asuka through Martin on the floor and undid his fly and pulled out his big cock which is covered in his own cum already. Asuka is just about to put her warm mouth around Martins cock but she stopped because she could hear someone's footsteps. Martin is trying not to show he is really enjoying the attention.
Martin: Eh, Asuka I really think you should stop now, please?
Asuka went very quite trying to hear who was coming (I don't mean Martin), the next second Shinji appears around the corner, Asuka was on her feet like lighting, running after him
Asuka: SHINJI YOUR SOOO DEAD WHY WONT YOU JUST LET ME HAVE THINGS MY WAY!
Shinji: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh I really didn't mean to do it, honest!
Rei and Mandy are walking around a corner, Shinji, shiting himself ended up bumping into them leavening Mandy and Rei on the floor, laying on top of each other with their legs open, were Martin got a clear view. Asuka was still after Shinji trying to get him and Martin was smiling and started to wank himself off because he could see both Rei and Mandy's knickers as they lay on top of each other.
The young girl had been sat in the darkness for longer than she could remember. She couldn't see anything around her, not even her own hand.
Man's voice: What are you doing here?!
Girl: Daddy?
Women's Voice: You shouldn't be here!
Girl: Mummy?!
A white light formed in front of the young girl and all she could see was two black silhouettes in front of her, one a man and the other a women.
Man: We don't want you here!
Girl: Why Daddy?
Women: You shouldn't be here!
Girl: Why Mummy?!
Man: You Shouldn't be here!
Girl: But I want to be here with you!
Women: We don't want you here!
Girl: Please Mummy I want to be with you!
Man: We don't want you here!
Girl: Please Daddy! Let me be with you!
Man &Women: We don't want you here! You shouldn't be here.
Girl: No, please! Mummy, Daddy I want to be with you!
Man &Women: We don't want you here! You shouldn't be here.
Girl: No! Please! Mummy! Daddy! Let me stay with you! Please!
Man &Women: We don't want you here! You shouldn't be here.
Girl: Don't leave! Don't push me away! Let me be with you!
Man &Women: We don't want you here! You shouldn't be here.
Girl: No! Daddy-!
Before anything else can be said the man's silhouette reached down and pushed the child away.
Man: We don't want you here! You shouldn't be here!
The young girl flew back violently the push had more force than any normal man could ever have and as the girl fell back the light exploded and tore the silhouettes asunder.
The girl fell and fell for longer than time could conceivably allow until she hit something. There was a horrible crack as she was thrown forward, landing face down on the floor. Feeling behind her head she felt dampness and a sharp pain shot through her skull.
Girl: What's happening? Where am I?
The young girl stood swaying side to side and began to walk forward, Trying to feel her way though the darkness and pain. Suddenly a young boy appeared before her.
Boy: Hay, are you okay? Give me you hand.
The young boy reached out to the young girl and after a little bit of thought she took the offered hand. As she did the boy changed to a very familiar face for the young girl.
Girl: Martin!
Martin's warm smile turned to a look of shear disgust as he gripped the young girls arm tight and then pushed her back.
Martin: What the hell! I don't want anything to do with a little brat like you! Why don't you just get lost?
Martin turned his back on her and started to walk away into the darkness.
Girl: No! Don't leave! Not again!
Martin turned, sneered and then snorted in disgust. The young girl tried to run after him but just as she did the form of Evangelion Unit Seven appeared. It reached down and took Martins small form in its grasp lifting him far off the ground. Once the Eva had lifted him as far as it could a voice rumbled though the darkness.
Voice: NOBODY WANTS YOU!
The Eva's hand closed and an endless shower of crimson blood pored down over it. A new sound joined the voices this time it was a scream, the terrified scream of the little girl.
Girl: AHHHHHHHHHHHH-
Mandy: -AAHHHHHHHH! Huff, huff, huff! That dream again! Sob, sob, Why do I keep having the same nightmare, sob, sob.
Mandy curled up into her sheets and wept herself to sleep again but she didn't find peace, as she knew the dreams would come to haunt her again.

[Flashback] Martin: Well what do you think of Shinji?
Rei: Pilot Ikari?
Martin: Ye, do you like him?
Rei remained quite as a slight blush filled her cheeks.
Martin: Well?
Rei: Maybe...
Martin: Ah ha! You do hehe I can tell a "maybe" means yes 90% of the time.
Martin beamed happily doing a peace sign to Rei, getting no response he sweat dropped and turned around embarrassed.
Martin: Well any way I think you should tell him how you feel, Rei. I think Shinji could do with a girl.
Rei: I...I don't know...
[End flashback]
Rei: Do I really have feelings for Ikari-Kun? I'm not sure. When I am with him it does seam to fill some of this empty feeling I posses inside of me but I do not understand why...What are these feeling I have for Ikari?
Rei watched Shinji through her monitor, as she thought of the young Ikari, unaware that a certain red haired girl was watching her, at the same time. Asuka was watching and with every second that passed her anger grew.
Asuka: Why the hell am I angry? There's no _way_ I'm jealous! Why would I be jealous over wondergirl looking at _my...I mean looking at stupid baka over there!
Shinji unaware that he was the centre of attention of two girls at the same time, sat back and relaxed in the warmth of the LCL filled entry plug. Even if it did have a strange smell he couldn't quite place, the warmth was still relaxing to him, like the warm embrace of a mother, which he hadn't experienced in a long time. However today he felt slightly uncomfortable.
Shinji: Why do I feel like I'm being watched?
Like the others Martin was also deep in his own thoughts.
Ritsuko: We're ready to begin, Major.
Misato: Great. Okay guys are you ready to begin?
All four pilots coursed that they were ready and closed their eyes as Misato gave Ritsuko the go ahead to start the test.
Ritsuko: Then lets begin.
Above all the commotion in a small observation room stood two figures. One was a man who's steely glare could cut through glass better than the most precious diamond and the other man was older but was the much more humane sub-commander of NERV.
Kozo: I hear that Unit 08 is being flown over from England tomorrow.
The older of the two men stated. Gendo did not turn his gaze from the test as he spoke.
Gendo: That is correct.
Kozo: It would have been nice to know about things like this in advance.
Gendo: It was an unimportant detail.
Kozo: I would have thought having a new Evangelion flown in after what happened last time would be a very import detail.
Gendo: I assure you there is no need for worries.
A small grin passed over Gendo's lips as he turned and walked smugly out of the room.
Kozo: If you say so.
After one last glance through the observation window Kozo also turned and left.

Back in England Commander Hutchinson was in his office behind his white desk. It soon became apparent that he was discussing something on the phone.
Hutchinson: You will be accompanying the Seventh Child to Japan, as you know the pilot well.
Voice on phone: Understood sir.
Hutchinson: You'll be leaving on a super carrier jet at O-Eight hundred.
Voice: Yes sir.
Hutchinson: Very well good luck lieutenant Luckman.
Voice: Yes sir. Goodbye sir.
The other end of the phone went dead and Commander Hutchinson hung up the receiver and gave a small laugh and smile.
Hutchinson: With a name like Luckman I don't think he'll need much luck
-&-
Ritsuko: Okay you four the test is over, you can get out now.
Asuka: Finally, I want to go home and take a bath.
Asuka chirped irritably as the LCL fluid drained from her plug.
Misato: Sorry you can't go quite yet.
Asuka: What!
Shinji: Why not Misato?
Misatos face appeared in a hovering window with an apologetic smile on it.
Misato: Sorry guy's it'll only be for a minute. I have something I need to tell all four of you. Come to the debriefing room when you're done changing, okay?
Asuka: Do I have to-?
Misato: Asuka don't make me make it an order, please.
Asuka: Gerrr. Fine!
Misato: Good Girl.
Misato grind and then her image disappeared leaving a wet and steamed Asuka alone in her entry plug.
Asuka: God Damn it!
-&-
All four of the Eva pilots were now stood in the debriefing room. Even though they were where they were supposed to be something was missing.
Asuka: Typical. Misatos late like always.
Shinji: I'm sure she'll be here soon.
Asuka: Don't you start defending her Third Child! I want to go home so she better hurry up or else-
Suddenly the door opened and in walked Misato as if on cue.
Misato: Or else what? Asuka?
Misato grind as she looked at the embarrassed teen. Getting no reply except for a pissed off glared Misato made her way to the front of the room. Asuka leaned over and whispered to Shinji.
Asuka: I swear she hides behind that door and waits 'till we're pissed off.
Misato: Okay now that we're all together I can tell you what I wanted to tell you. It looks like we're having yet another new pilot.
Asuka: What?! Another one! Don't they think we can handle it or something? Me and the Third Child here even managed to kill the last Angel with out wonder girl or the waste of space rookie here.
Martin suddenly snapped from his thoughts apparently Asuka's comment was the only part of the conversation he'd caught.
Martin: Hay!
Misato put here hands up to silence Asuka.
Misato: Listen Asuka it's not we don't think you can handle it. It's just it's better to be safe than sorry. What happens if a mass of Angels attack? How are you going to handle them all by yourself?
Asuka: I can handle myself! I killed the last angel didn't I?
Misato: With Shinji's help.
Asuka glared at Shinji, who just shrunk into his chair.
Martin: So who is it any way?
Misato: I don't have any exact details yet.
Asuka: Like always, where are they from this time? The North Pole!
Misato: Actually I do know that this pilot is also from England
Asuka & Shinji & Martin: What!
Asuka: Some one else from England! Why can't we have some one from Germany?
Misato: That's just the way it goes Asuka. *Sigh* what is up with Asuka today she's getting upset other every thing today, not that it's unusual for her but it's really getting on my nerves.
Martin: Well it'll nice to be able to talk to some one from home again. Not that I liked being in England but it'll be nice to see how things are going.
Shinji: Misato? When will they be here?
Misato: Tomorrow.
Asuka jumped up from her seat and stared angrily at Misato.
Asuka: Tomorrow! How come no ones been sent to get them like I had to be to get the stupid Sixth Child over there!?
Before Martin could complain, Misato intervened.
Misato: Because, Asuka this time the Eva's being flown over by jet, they set of this morning and should get here by tomorrow night.
Shinji: That's fast.
Misato: Yes it's one of the new carrier jets made to transport the Eva's.
There was a long silence. Finally Asuka chips away at it.
Asuka: Is that it?
Misato: Well ye. Oh and you'll see the Seventh Child at school so make sure to make him.or her feel welcome.
Asuka: Ye, what ever.
The children all began to stand and leave, suddenly Misato shouted over to Shinji.
Misato: Shinji! Could you guys order out? I'm going to be working late tonight.
Shinji and Asuka both signed in relief. At least they wouldn't have to have their stomachs pumped tonight.
Shinji: Okay Misato, good night.
Misato: You too.
The children left, leaving Misato to her own devices. Walking towards the elevator Asuka was not happy, then again she hadn't been happy about anything from the start. First a stupid test then getting worked up over Wonder Girl and just now having to deal with Misatos stupid meeting.
Asuka: She made me wait so long just to tell us about THAT! Stupid Misato.
Martin: Ye it was a bit pointless.
They stood in the elevator for a while in a thick chocking silence.
Shinji: Well ermmm.
Shinji started clumsily, unnerved by the silence.
Shinji: ...erm what do you want to order for dinner Asuka.
Suddenly a thought came to Asuka, this could be her chance to beet Rei to the punch.
Asuka: Why do we have to eat in Third Child? Let's eat out for a change. I'm tired of being stuck in that stupid apartment all the time.
Shinji: I guess but shouldn't we ask Misato first?
Asuka's expression turned to anger as she looked at Shinji.
Asuka: Honestly! Why do you have to be such a boy scout! We don't have to ask Misato and whether you like it our not we ARE going OUT!
Shinji once again receded into the collar of his shirt, something that was becoming such a regular occurrence most people would probably have thought that he was a turtle.
Shinji: O...OK...
Asuka turned with a "humph", disgusted with the young boys lack of a spine.
Asuka: Baka Third Child.
Asuka took a quick lance at Rei but the young blue haired girl didn't seam fazed at all by anything that had just happened.
-&-
Martin Closed his apartment door behind him and slung his bag onto a nearby chair before slumping onto the bed with a sigh. He lay there for a few minutes before shoving his head into his pillow and letting out a frustrated scream, muffling it with the softness of his pillow before abruptly sitting up and throwing it across the room.
Martin: FUCKING HELL! Argh First Ian and Mandy won't answer their phones or my letters and now their numbers no longer in service! What the hells going on! I've been thinking about it ALL DAY but I can't think of a reason!
Martin slumped onto the bed.
Martin: ...I just want to know what's going on... Do they hate me? ...If they did...I don't think I could cope with it.
Martin reached under his bed where he pulled out a sketchbook, he opened it and on the page was a half finished picture of three people smiling. Pulling the pencil from the rings at the top he continued to quietly sketch in the dark, quietness of his room.
-&-
In the reclusive darkness of his office, the NERV commander, Gendo sat at his desk while Ritsuko updated him on the current status of the Evangelions from a clipboard she held in her hand.
Ritsuko: The repairs to Unit 02 where complete yesterday but the repairs to Unit 01 won't be complete until tomorrow morning.
Lowering her clipboard she peered over it at the man in front of her.
Gendo: Very good.
Ritsuko: Oh, yes and tomorrow afternoon we will be running some new tests on Eva 00 and the activation test of the new Evangelion, Unit 07.
Gendo: Excellent, inform me of the results of both tests after they are complete.
There was an uneasy silence as Ritsuko stared at the glasses wearing man as if in anticipation.
Gendo: ...yes?
Ritsuko: W-will there be anything else...commander?
Gendo: That will be all, Doctor.
Ritsuko: But-
Gendo: I said, "That will be all", Doctor Akagi.
Ritsuko face flashed with disappointment but then returned to a neutral mask.
Ritsuko: Yes sir.
Turning on her heals she headed out of Gendo's office. She rubbed her eyes from the change of light.
Ritsuko: Bastard, he only cares about me when he has a use for me. What about my feelings? As if he cares.
Ritsuko sighed and then continued down the brightly light corridor.
-&-
Shinji and Asuka walked alone together through the dark streets of Tokyo-3, neither saying anything as they walked. Just like usual Asuka was the first to break the silence.
Asuka: Well?!
Shinji almost jumped out of his skin as Asuka stopped and yelled at him.
Shinji: W-What?
Asuka sighed an irritated sigh as she put her hands on her hips.
Asuka: Well, where do you want to eat? You idiot.
Shinji: I don't know.
Asuka: Gerrr- Fine!
Shinji: Wha-
Before Shinji could ask the red haired teenager pulled him down the street. After a while they jolted to a halt out side a restaurant but not just any restaurant it was the most expensive one in all of Tokyo-3 and commonly frequented by couples wanting a bit of romantic wining and dinning.
Asuka: We'll eat here then!
Shinji: What?
Asuka's eyebrow twitched as she turned to Shinji quickly. Shinji didn't know how but he could tell, in more ways than one that he'd pissed her off.
Asuka: Are "what" and "sorry" the only words you can say?
Shinji: Sor-
Asuka slapped her hand over Shinji's mouth before he could finish.
Asuka: Don't! Even bother saying anything, I know what the answer is already, 'sorry' right? Didn't I just tell you I'm tired of hearing you say sorry all the time?
Shinji had to stop himself from saying the hated line once again as he tried to respond to Asukas questions.
Asuka: I guess I was right, you can't say anything other than sorry.
Shinji: Yes I can!
Asuka turned and walked away from the young boy.
Asuka: Bullshit!
With out saying another word Asuka headed off into the night leaving Shinji behind.
Shinji: *What the hell just happened here?* Fine, if that's how she wants it.
Shinji turned and headed off in the direction of their apartment.
-&-
Asukas pace slowed as she reached a nearby park, it would have been pitch black if it weren't for the odd streetlight along the path.
Asuka: Baka Shinji! It's his fault that this happened! Why does he have to be such a wimp all the time?
Asuka came to an old wooden bench and sat down hard with an angry "humph".
Asuka: All I wanted was something to eat and he has to be an idiot again. All I did was say he says sorry too much...well maybe I did give him a much harder time than was-
Asuka violently shuck her head with both hands.
Asuka: What the hell am I saying! It's all that little bakas fault! If he'd grow some backbone and stop acting like a little mamas boy then I wouldn't get as worked up as I do with him.
Asuka stood up and kicked the bench. After a while of throwing death glares at the unresponsive park bench she sat back down, folding her arms.
Asuka: *Now what am I going to do? There's no way in hell I'm going back home yet but it's not like I can avoid it, I have to go back some time. Screw it I'll just sit her for a while*
And so she sat there content on sticking with her choice of staying away from the apartment as long as possible.
While all this was happening, silently above, dark, thick rain clouds gathered, unseen because of the night sky.
-&-
Rei stood in her shower, she didn't attempt to wash, she just stood under the stream of water and let it wash over her ivory white skin.
Rei: What is this feeling?
Flashback: Asuka: Why do we have to eat in Third Child? Let's eat out for a change. I'm tired of being stuck in that stupid apartment all the time.
Shinji: I guess but shouldn't we ask Misato first? End Flashback.
Rei: Is it regret? When I think of that I feel as if I have been... cheated...but why? Why have I started to develop these feelings and why are they directed at Pilot Ikari?
Rei Stepped out of the shower and began to dry herself with a nearby towel.
Rei: I think I should seek counselling on the subject but who do I talk to? I feel that talking to commander Ikari would not prove beneficial, as he would only say that such feelings are useless and not required for my role.
Rei sat on her bed as she finished towel drying her hair. Dropping the towel on the floor she picked a white shirt up off her bed and put it on, butting it up as she thought.
Rei: Speaking to Pilot Ikari directly would not help either as he would only react strangely to my line of questioning and not be able to tell me what I need to know.
Finished dressing herself she sat on the bed.
Rei: Perhaps the best course of action is to consult Pilot Perish, as he is the first person to express a view on a relationship between pilot Ikari and myself.
Rei thought for a while as she looked at her feet.
Rei: Yes, that is a suitable course of action. I will see pilot Perish tommrow after the Unit 00 tests.
Content with her decision rei folded back the sheets to her bed and got in, instantly falling into a dreamless sleep.

Radio: Current Terrorist attacks in the United Kingdoms have increased almost ten fold this year and the number of victim's involved has increased even more dramatically. In the city of Manchester martial law has been implemented for a limited time to try and gain control over the current situation. This is Radio One News, Japan, I'm Bob Nelson and now the weather.
There was a small musical interlude and then a woman could be herd over the radio.
Radio: Thank you Bob. Tonight we're expecting a fierce storm so make sure to keep rapped up and don't go out unless you really need too. Tomorrow, however will be sunny with highs of 30* in some parts of the country. For the rest of the week-
The small radio shut off with a click and the speaker went dead.
Shinji let out a saddened sigh and took a sip of his tea before placing it down on the dinner table and looking out of a nearby window.
Shinji: I hope Asuka and Misato come back soon, other wise their going to be soaked.
He looked at the tea, cradled in his hands quietly for a while.
Shinji: Why does Asuka have to be so mean? What else am I supposed to say apart from sorry, it was my fault she was angry but does she have to be such a...such a bitch some times? I can't even apologise for pissing her off because it'll just make her angrier.
Shinji was interrupted from his thoughts by a rapping sound coming from the window.
Shinji: Looks like the rain's started already.
Finishing his tea, he then cleaned his cup and headed to his room. As he reached his door the phone rang. Quickly Shinji went back to the kitchen and answered it.
Shinji: Asuka? Oh, Misato it's you...What is it?
Shinji's voice was filled with disappointment as he discovered it wasn't who he hoped it was.
On the other end of the phone Misato's voice could be heard.
Misato: Hi, Shinji, listen I won't be coming home tonight...I've got some more work to do.
Shinji: Oh.
Misato: Ye, I just go t it and...Erm...I need to have it done tomorrow so I won't see you until tommrow night, ok?
Shinji: Okay. Good night then Misato, I guess.
Misato: Good night, Shinji. Oh and try to get along with Asuka tonight okay? I don't want to come home to World War 3.
Shinji hesitated a little before answering Misato after which she laughed and hung up. He placed the receiver down and sighed as Pen Pen waddled up to him.
Shinji: Well, I guess it's just you and me tonight, Pen Pen.
Pen Pen: Squawk.
Shinji: Ye I know.
Patting Pen Pen on the head, Shinji headed to his room and Pen Pen waddled off to his fridge.
-&-
Misato pressed the off button on her phone and placed it on a nearby wooden dresser.
Misato: Are you sure this is a good idea? Leaving them on their own.
A familiar pair of arms rapped around Misato as she sat on the end of the bed, it soon became apparent that their owner and Misato were completely naked.
Kaji: Don't worry, they'll be fine Asuka and Shinji can look after their selves and besides it's not like it's the first time they've been left alone together.
Misato: I guess your right.
Kaji turned Misato around and gave her a passionate kiss on the lips.
Kaji: Like I said, don't worry. Now, didn't you say you have some work to do?
Kaji laid back pulling Misato with him. She giggled as they kissed.
Misato: Oh, yes sir.
-&-
Shinji's homework laid open on his desk only half finished and the boy himself was gazing up to the ceiling from his bed. Listening to his SDAT, his quite room was filled with the faint sound of a song from the late nineteenth centenary and the rapping of rain on the nearby windows.
The wind picked up fiercely outside and made the rain splash against the apartment windows faster and nosier.
Shinji: I wonder if Asuka's still outside in this weather, I haven't noticed her come home yet. Maybe she went to Hikari's.
Shinji rolled over on his bed and looked at his workbooks.
Shinji: Maybe I should go look for her? It's not like I'm going to get much work done today. Then again her seeing me now would just piss her off even more.
-&-
Pen Pen couldn't sleep and decided that he'd get a quick drink out of the other fridge. As he walked along the kitchen he heard a just audible hiss sound from the front room. Curious he decided to peak around the corner. The air grew deathly cold and he could hear a sound reminiscence of a wet cloth being flung around.
He silently headed towards the front door to investigate. A horrible, shadowy creature jumped around the corner and grabbed a hold of the surprised penguin before it had time to scream. It lifted the penguin up and towards what Pen Pen could guess was it's head and then a giant mouth opened. As Pen Pen was pulled towards it he struggled and tried to scream but he couldn't. Finally he was in the tooth-lined jaws of the creature and slowly they descended on him.
Pen Pen: Squawk!!
Pen Pen woke with a start checking his surroundings; to his relief he found he was still safe and sound in his fridge. The poor hot water bird's throat was dry and sour from the nightmare and so he opened his fridge door hoping to get a drink.
As he walked along the kitchen he heard an audible hissing sound from the front room. Curious he decided to peak around the corner. The air grew deathly cold and he could hear a sound reminiscence of a wet cloth being flung around.
Pen Pen's dream replayed it's self in his mind and he hesitated but he couldn't seem to stop himself replaying the scene.
He silently headed towards the front door to investigate and a horrible, shadowy creature jumped around the corner and the small Penguin let out a startled squawk as the creature grabbed him.
Shinji jumped off his bed and bounded for his door.
Shinji: Pen Pen, what's wrong?!
Running into the living room and switching the light on at the same time he was greeted with the site of an almost drowned Asuka grabbing the beak of a still spooked Pen Pen, to try and silence him.
Shinji: ...Asuka?
Pen Pen stopped squirming and finally looked at his assailant.
Asuka was quiet, she almost looked sad but that soon passed as her features took on one of her more common expressions, anger.
Asuka: What the hell do you want dumkopf!
She dropped Pen Pen and headed to her room her clothes slapping nosily as she walked. If it wasn't for the fact Asuka was pissed, Shinji would have probably laughed.
Asuka's door slammed as she entered, making Shinji and Pen Pen wince simultaneously.
-&-
Half an hour had passed since Asuka had gotten home and Shinji had been sat in the living room since then, waiting for her to come back out of her room. Finally deciding to do something instead of sitting around, he went to the towel closet and brought out two towels.
He stopped outside Asuka's door and hesitated a while before knocking.
Shinji: Asuka? D-do you want to dry off? I've got a towel you can use.
He stood and waited for some kind of reply but there was no answer.
Shinji: Well if you want them, they're out here for you. I'm going to bed.
Still there was no reply and so he placed the towels on the floor and turned away.
Shinji: Well...good night.
Shinji went to his room and slumped onto his bed.
Shinji: *How am I going to say sorry? It's my fault she stayed out there all this time.*
He once again looked to his schoolwork on his desk and then was given an idea. He sat down at his desk, took his pen and retrieved a new, clean peace of paper.
Shinji: Maybe I can write it.
Shinji started to write but near enough straight away he crunched the paper up and through it an in small, paper basket nearby.
Shinji: That's no good.
Once again getting a fresh peace of paper he started over.
-&-
Once Asuka was certain than Shinji was gone, she pocked her head out of her door and picked up the towels. After double-checking she was alone for probably the third time she headed towards the bathroom.
-&-
It had been almost two hours since Shinji had attempted righting his 'sorry' letter, the nearby paper basket was over flowing, the day was coming into the very early hours of the morning and Shinji was sleeping like a log with his face flat on the desk and a strew of crumpled and scribbled on paper around him.
Asuka: *Well at least I feel a little better now.*
Asuka pulled the bathroom door aside and walked out with a red towel rapped around her body and head. As she passed Shinji's room a cold gust of air blew through a small crack that had been left from Shinji not closing his door entirely.
Asuka: What the hell? Hay Shinji, close that damn window or do you want to give us both pneumonia?
She didn't get any reply so she banged on the door.
Asuka: Baka, did you hear me?!
Finally giving up on shouting, she reached for the door handle ready to rip it open.
Asuka: I swear Third Child, if I see ANYTHING I don't want to see, I WILL kill you!
With these final words she swung open the door expecting Shinji to be getting up to something either really stupid or really perverted but to her surprise Shinji wasn't in his bed, instead she saw him lay across his desk pen still in hand.
Asuka: He must really be stupid if he was working so hard he fell asleep.
Once again the wind picked up and kicked up the bottom of Asukas towel.
Asuka: Argh! God damn it! How the hell can he have a window open in this weather!?
Asuka stormed over and closed the window with a thud.
Asuka: There.
As Asuka turned to leave she stood on something, bending down to investigate she discovered it was a peace of paper.
Asuka: Not only is he a stupid pervert he's also a slob! He really needs to tidy his room.
Apparently she had forgotten about her own 'little mess' back in her room.
Just before she screwed up the offending item she noticed her name scribbled in black ink.
Asuka: I don't believe it! The little ass hole was writing about me!
She unscrewed the peace of paper and tried to read what she could of the scribbled Kanji on the paper.
Asuka: Asuka, I'm really sorry about all the trouble I wish I could say it another way but...
Asuka flipped the paper back and forth, trying to find the rest of the note but the letter just abruptly stopped. Picking up more peaces of paper off the floor, she discovered they nearly all said the same sought of things but in different ways.
Asuka: *With all these pieces of paper he must have been writing for ages trying to get it right.*
Finally her eyes came to rest on a neatly folded peace of paper hanging out of an envelope on the table with the words 'to Asuka' written neatly on the front. As she reached to pick it up, Shinji stirred and Asuka froze.
Asuka: *Should I really read it?*
Shinji: Asuka...
Asuka jumped back, thinking she was caught in the act of going through Shinji's stuff. Her mind whirled as she tried to come up with an excuse.
Shinji: Asuka...I'm sorry...for saying sorry so much...zzzzzzz
She relaxed at the realization that Shinji was just talking in his sleep. She began to clean up the paper's she had read when she saw Shinji shiver.
Shinji: ...cold...
As she finished moving the paper she already had in hand, Asuka went to Shinji's bed and took the duvet off and carefully laid it over the young boys sleeping form.
Asuka: Baka.
Shinji: Thank you...zzzz.....zzzz
She smiled as Shinji also smiled contently in his worriless sleep. Silently she headed back towards the bedroom door planning on sleeping herself. But just as she was going to close the door behind her...
Shinji: Asuka! ... Why's the banana in the road?
Asuka quickly clasped her hand over her mouth in an attempt to muffle her laughter as she went into her room.
That night both teens smiled all night as they slept.
-&-
Shinji: Zzzzz- THE PONY'S COMING!
Shinji jumped up with a start, sending his desk chair hurtling backwards behind him. Looking around franticly he found himself safe in his own room. Letting out a sigh of relief he picked up his chair and started to clean up the papers on his desk. While he was moving one peace of paper he found the watch that he had taken off the previous night, below it.
Shinji: Oh crap! I'm gonna be late!
Shinji quickly dropped the papers he had in hand, into the bin and because it was full already, they just rolled on the floor but Shinji was in too much of a rush to notice or care.
As he grabbed his uniform and headed to the bathroom he noticed Asuka stood outside his door grinning, making him feel very uneasy.
Asuka: Well you better hurry up if you don't want to be late-
Asuka lent forward a bit and her grin widened.
Asuka: Or maybe the Pony can take you.
Asuka laughed at the embarrassed boy as she turned away and he ran to the bathroom, his face a brighter red than Asukas plug suit.
-&-
Shinji ran out of the bathroom, fully dressed in his school uniform now and he picked up his book bag as he rushed past his bedroom.
Shinji: I'm sorry Asuka I'm not going to have time to make our lunch again, today.
As he spoke a brown paper bag came flying his way, he caught it just before it impacted with his face.
Asuka: Don't worry I already took the liberty. Now get your ass out that door Third Child!
Shinji did a comical salute and then did as the 'want-to-be-major' asked. After he was out of the door Asuka picked up her bags and left too.
-&-
Shinji lent forward to catch his breath as he and Asuka arrived at the main gate to the school.
Asuka: Where the hell is every one?
Shinji: Crap maybe we're so late every one's already in lessons.
Shinji and Asuka both ran through the front door. There was no one else around except for the two students that had just entered. Walking further down the corridor they looked into each class they passed.
Shinji: They're, they're all gone...
Asuka glanced at the clock above one of the black boards and then she looked at Shinji, who was inspecting a closet in the back of the room.
Asuka: Oh, Third Child.
An audible gulp echoed in the cupboard as Shinji turned at the sound of Asuka's strange tone of voice.
Shinji: Erm, yes...Asuka?
Asuka put her hands on her hips as she turned her body towards Shinji.
Asuka: What time is it?
Shinji looked at his wristwatch before answering Asuka.
Shinji: Erm, it's Eight Thirty.
Asuka shook her head and pointed, Shinji's eye's followed her finger to the clock hanging on the wall. Then realisation struck.
Shinji: Crap...Erm, I forgot.
Asuka: Forgot what?
Shinji rubbed the bridge of his nose as he looked at the floor with a red face.
Shinji: Erm, d-day lights saving time...The clocks went back.
Asuka through her book bag and it slid along the floor.
Asuka: Gerr, Anta baka! Why didn't you change the clocks!
Shinji: Hay you didn't change it either.
Asuka: I wasn't supposed to!
Both teenagers we're getting closer and closer as they argued until finally theirs noses we're almost touching.
Shinji: Neither was I!
Asuka: Then who was supposed to-
Asuka stopped as she and Shinji both realised, and in the same monotone voice they spoke one name.
Asuka & Shinji: Misato.
For some reason the fiery red head wasn't ready to give up the fight yet, needing some one to blame for her misfortune right there and then she turned back to Shinji.
Asuka: Well why didn't you know to change them!
Shinji: You're no better! Why didn't you change them?
Asuka: Because you're a man and should remember to do theses things!
Touji: Well either the newly weds are fighting or they're about to kiss.
Both turning to face the source of the voice they saw Kensuke, grinning with his video camera in hand and Touji with his hands clasped together, making kissing faces. Asuka stormed up to Touji and grabbed his collar.
Asuka: If you ever want to be able to kiss someone one-day, I suggest you shut the hell up!
Kensuke: Wow this is great.
Kensuke was still filming as Asuka took the camera from him and held it on high above her head where Kensuke couldn't reach.
Kensuke: Hay give that back!
The young glasses wearing boy tried desperately to retrieve his beloved device but the red demon kept it just out of his reach all the time. Shinji laughed at the scene and then the rest of the student began to enter and things seamed to calm down except for t he now standard gossip about a new student , when one is going to show up.
Touji, Shinji and Kensuke were sat around Shinji's desk as they observed the rumours that flew around them.
Shinji: So much gossip and rumours.
Touji: Tell me about it. We're the hell do these girls get all this information.
Both boys turned to Kensuke as he let off a strange laugh and the light glinted an evil way as he corrected their position. Shinji and Touji thought they'd get a little more distance from their slightly 'odd' friend as they moved back.
Touji: So what the hell have you been up to this time? You've been hacking your dad's computer again, haven't you?
Shinji shock his head as Kensukes grin widened even more.
Touji: I thought so. So what did you get?
Kensuke: Well I found out that the new student is from England, in fact the very same place a certain Mr. Perish came from...
Kensuke did a dramatic pause, as he looked side-to-side and then leaned closer to his counter parts.
Touji: And...
Kensuke: And...I got this-
The spy in training reached into his back pockets and then slapped something on the table.
Touji: Wow! Where the hell did you get this! She's a babe!
Touji Picked up the picture with both hands.
Touji: Hay Shinji! Look at this!
Shinji looked over his friends shoulder to see what he was talking about. On the picture was a young brown hair girl, slightly tanned, with greyish, green eyes.
Shinji: *Where have I seen her before- Oh god!*
The bell rang and Kensuke quickly stuck his 'intel' swiftly back into his pocket as the last few student, including the Sixth Child, Martin walked into class with the old sempai not far behind. Giving a quick wave to Shinji and the gang, Martin took his seat as Hikari did her rise, bow, site routine.
Taisho: Good morning students. It seams yet again we have another new student...
As the teacher began a small speech to introduce the new student Martin had a message flash on his screen.
Kanon D-dur Martin, there's something I need to tell you about the new student! Rogue Angel What is it Shinji? Kanon D-dur Well I think you'll be a little shocked.. Rogue Angel What already?! Kanon D-dur The thing is you already know her. Rogue Angel What!!!
Martin quickly looked up from his computer screen to the teacher.
Taisho: And now students I'm happy to introduce our new student all the way from England.
A young girl, with long brow hair stepped through the door and stood in front of the class with a bow.
Girl: Hi I'm Mandy Newlife, I'm glad to meet you.
Mandy looked at Martin and winked, he on the other hand was shell shocked and unable to do anything.
Martin: *Oh god...*

I hoped you liked this story and I hope I didn't go O.O.C with the character's too much (for some reason I think I have), I'm sorry I haven't done much on Rei I'm just trying to figure some stuff out. You see I had everything planned out but that was in my head so I kinda forgot some details, sorry ^^; (damn it, I really need to start making notes of my ideas or something!).
I hope you're happy now that Mandy's back (yay!) but then that's not the only new surprises hehehe. Oh and this chapter was going to be longer and include the events from episode eleven but then it would have been wayyyy too long (like all these wayyy too lonnnggg words, lol).
Well that's it for now and here's a little omake for you (courtesy of my girlfriend not me so please don't flame me for any rudeness, O.O.C or new characters getting off with the cast of NGE, after all it's only in fun, lol).
THIS O-MAKE IS RATED 18! SO YOU MINORS GET THE HELL OUT! Please hehe ^^.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- Shinji ended up spunking his pants because Asuka had big tits plus she had a nipple on which didn't help Shinji at all. So now he was 100 % wet. Asuka finally woke up an hour later finding out the room stunk of cum and there was also a drop on her lips. She loved the taste and wanted more do she tried to find Shinji but he had ran of some where so Asuka ended up raping the first person she saw, which happened to be Martin.
Martin: Hey Asuka, hey what the hell do you think your doing! Get off"
Asuka: Give me your cum now before you end up dead!
Martin: Leave that alone, hey!
Asuka through Martin on the floor and undid his fly and pulled out his big cock which is covered in his own cum already. Asuka is just about to put her warm mouth around Martins cock but she stopped because she could hear someone's footsteps. Martin is trying not to show he is really enjoying the attention.
Martin: Eh, Asuka I really think you should stop now, please?
Asuka went very quite trying to hear who was coming (I don't mean Martin), the next second Shinji appears around the corner, Asuka was on her feet like lighting, running after him
Asuka: SHINJI YOUR SOOO DEAD WHY WONT YOU JUST LET ME HAVE THINGS MY WAY!
Shinji: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh I really didn't mean to do it, honest!
Rei and Mandy are walking around a corner, Shinji, shiting himself ended up bumping into them leavening Mandy and Rei on the floor, laying on top of each other with their legs open, were Martin got a clear view. Asuka was still after Shinji trying to get him and Martin was smiling and started to wank himself off because he could see both Rei and Mandy's knickers as they lay on top of each other.
