Hello Everyone. This is my first Evangelion fan fic. This Anime is superb and one of my all time favorites, with its action packed battle scenes and hilarious awkward moments. However I do not own any of these characters, even though I wish I did. So please enjoy my story, and be sure to review! Thanks! -Peechman

NEON GENESIS EVANGELION: THE NEO EVANGELION CHAPTER 2

School again. It was a building full of uninteresting things, and awkward teenagers just trying to find their own place in this world. Everything seemed boring here, and alas all of the ceilings were empty and cold. Shinji sat at his desk sighing heavily. He didn't know how much longer he could do this, this whole pilot thing. The same questions had plagued his mind for months now. Why was he still doing this? For recognition from his father? Highly unlikely.

"Sup Shinji?" Toji asked walking over to him.

"Nothing I guess." Shinji replied glumly.

"So when's your next big fight?!" Kensuke asked." So your gunna take me with you right?"

"I don't think so. Misato really wouldn't allow it." Shinji said.

"Aw that sucks." Toji said, folding his arms.

"You look tired shinji," Kensuke added.

"I am, we've been running a lot of tests lately. And Asuka isn't any help either." Shinji said, sitting up to face his friends.

"Excuse me third child!"

The three boys turned around quickly to see Asuka Langley, the fiery haired pilot of Eva unit 2. She did not look pleased. Her arms were at her sides, and her eyes glared at the three of them, maybe hoping to burn holes through them.

"Yeah Asuka what do you want?" Toji snickered.

"Nothing from you nitwit!" She retorted.

Asuka marched up to the three of them, Toji and Kensuke backing off to the sides so that shinji faced her alone. She leaned forward, a little seductively and smiled.

"I know you only talk about me because you like me. I mean it's obvious I'm the prettiest girl in school." She said.

"I-I uh..Yes.. I mean.. I.. No.. I mean I wasn't talking about you!" Shinji exclaimed.

"Yeah, he has to live with your bossy ass. I don't think he'd really waste his time talking about you." Toji said.

"Say whatever you want. Because I know the truth! I've got to go! Bye, I'll see you at home shinji, behave yourself!" She laughed, walking across the classroom.

Shinji blinked several times scanning the classroom for Ayanami. His orbs fell on her vacant seat, she was absent again. This was the third day in a row since the test. He sighed in confusion and realized his friends were talking to him.

"-Beat her?" Kensuke asked.

"What?" Shinji asked.

"Did you beat them in the tests?" Toji repeated, and this time Shinji was listening.

He did not say a word. He just nodded slowly. A short while later the last bell rang, shinji gathered his things and left with Kensuke and Toji, ignoring their talk of war on the way home.

Else where..

Misato sighed heavily placing the last stack of papers in the manila envelope and sealing it. Finally the paperwork from the tests was done. She hadn't been home for three days, and thank god for shinji because without him her house would still be a mess.

Misato moved a few locks of hair from her eyes and stood, taking seven manila envelopes under her arm and heading for Ritsuko's office. She walked briskly down the hallway, eager to get home and take a nice hot shower. Not to mention eat, she'd been living off coffee and bagels for the past three days.

"Ah there you are!" Ritsuko Akagi said happily.

"Yep, here's the paperwork, now I can finally go home." Misato said with a loud yawn.

"Good you deserve a rest." Ritsuko said with a smile.

"Does that mean our dates off?"

Misato knew it. She couldn't leave her office for ten minutes without that slime ball Kaji picking up her scent. Damn him!

"Yes, yes it does. It's been off since you asked me." Misato replied with a sneer.

She folded her arms and began to leave the office, and of course she felt kaji brush against her again. His arms were around her waist and he followed her out of the room like this, very forcefully.

"Kaji let me go! Get your filthy hands off!" She yelled stomping on his foot.

"Oww! All right all right, no need to be touchy." He said with a smirk before walking the opposite direction.

Misato sighed heavily, finally thankful to leave nerv headquarters.

The drive home seemed long too, Misato kept nodding in and out of sleep as she skidded down the streets. After a couple of seconds she heard a screech and nodded back into consciousness seeing a car veer past her.

"Shit!" She said turning the wheel quickly.

Somehow misato made it to her apartment, walking the stairs and slumping into the elevator. She weakly pressed the button for her floor and closed her eyes until she heard the small ding. Her eyes opened and she stepped out onto the walkway, leading to her apartment. She slowly turned the keys and stepped in narrowly avoiding a bowl, which shattered on a nearby wall.

"How dare you bring that up third child! You know I'm a better pilot than you!" She yelled running after shinji.

Shinji could only whimper as Asuka jumped and landed a tackle on his frail body. Shinji flipped over the couch hitting the floor with a solid thud. Asuka took this opportunity ro straddle shinji and raise a fist above her head.

"Prepare to meet your mother!" She yelled.

A hand reached forward, grabbing asuka's fist before she could land the punch on shinji.

"Not today, please." Misato said, slumping past them and disappearing into the bathroom. Shinji and Asuka looked at each other, and their silence was broken by the squawking of Pen Pen who ran past them fluttering wildly.

*********************************************************************

Back in Eastern China.

The sounds of machinery were deafening, gears grinding and keys clicking. The scientists in the room had been working nonstop for weeks. Whenever they'd start to fall asleep, they were violently awoken from their slumber. If they wanted to eat, it had to be quick and subtle. Their commander was strict to the point where if a typing correction was seen, it meant certain punishment.

And for some, the punishment seemed like an answer to their prayers. They'd hoped to either be killed or fired from this job. It had been 5 hours since they perfected the initiation of the commander's beloved "child" as he called it. Obsessive? Yes. Creepy? Definitely.

"Well how are "child's" stats?" the commander asked.

"Everything seems fully operational, all systems check out ok. All that's left is for the pilot to give it a test run. Have you found a pilot yet Commander Takayu?" The scientist asked.

Ah his name. Commander Takayu stepped forward into the light, his blonde hair swaying somewhat and he didn't reply at first. He loved the power he had. To be able to dangle bits of information around his "co-workers" was satisfying to Takayu.

"Perhaps. I'm not sure if it's definite." He replied slyly.

The scientist nodded turning back to his station and typing furiously. He sighed nervously and Takayu chuckled a little. He took a few steps forward and glanced out of the glass window next to the control room. There it stood, in all its magnificence. Nothing compared to it. And if Takayu could pilot it himself he would, just to experience all of its raw power and excitement. He grinned stepping away from the window, and hurried down the corridor eager to talk with its pilot.
