"So, You are the legendary third child." Asuka stated. "Legend? Heh, I didn't know I was famous." Shinji said. "You are definitely famous after pulling that stunt." Asuka said "Which stunt is that?" Shinji asked. "One at the Jet alone project, it was aired at international TV news, every one heard it." Asuka said. "I'm not the one who made that mess." Shinji said walking out of the Eva chamber, Asuka followed behind, trying to learn how he moved the Eva with out piloting it. "So, how did you move the Eva with out piloting it?" Asuka asked.
"I can't tell you that, it is something you must experience on your own" Shinji paused for second. "Eva has it's own mind, it is alive about as much as you and I." Shinji said. "What do you mean alive?" Asuka asked. "That thing is just an giant robot."
"Is that so?" Shinji asked. "Every one says so." Asuka answered. "hmm, in that case, second impact is not an angel but meteor, because every one says so." Shinji countered. "Well, that's different, any way, can your Eva battle with out the power cord?"
"Yes and no, I can move with out power cable however, I would not have enough power to efficiently fight in a battle, but when it goes berserk, that is different story." Shinji pressed the switch for elevator waiting patiently for elevator to arrive. "You said Eva has mind of its own, what do you mean by that?
"Sorry, let me restate. It has will of it's own, but you are the brain, that is why it need pilot." Shinji said. "huh?" Asuka said totally lost. "if it has will, doesn't it also have mind and brain?" She asked.
"Even when some one is controlling your mind, you have a feeling, you can also feel pain or sensation, but you won't be able disobey unless your will and brain is stronger." Shinji said. "So, we are basically controlling a live beast." Asuka said. "You might call it a beast, but to me, it is more then that." the elevator door slid open, Shinji walked in pressing B button for basement.
"How are we going to beat the angel?" Asuka asked. "All we have to do is destroy both core a same time, I don't know if it has to be exact same time, but I think all we have to do is destroy one and destroy the other before first one can generate it self."
"Wrong, you have to hit both core at same time while their body is still connected. their for, you will be training until your next mission" Misato said from the other side of the elevator when the elevator door open. "Damn, this elevator must have external speakers, what do you mean train?" Asuka asked. "You will learn to sync with this" Misato said taking out Dance Dance Revolution and PS 3. "Cool, I'll own you in that game" Asuka declared. "It's not competition Asuka, we want both of you to be able to move at same time as the other, in other words, I want you to sync with Shinji."
"We'll talk back at the apartment, I'll see you later." Shinji said taking off on his bike.
"Fine." Asuka said, they picked up Rei at entrance and drove to Misato's place. "How come he gets a bike and I don't?" Asuka asked. "He bought it on his own, if you can afford the gas and insurance, you can buy one also."
"How can he afford something like that with our small pay check?" Asuka asked. "He don't, I heard his family is quite wealthy." Misato said. "Yui Ikari , Shinji's mother was a millionaire." Rei answered. "Yui? I though she was poor." Misato said. "No, it was commander who was poor." Rei replied.
"By the way first child, why do you have different name then commander if he adopted you?" Asuka asked. "We didn't want other to know, so I held on the my last name, but now that every one know, I think I'll ask commander to change my name to Rei Ikari, I think it sounds better then Rei Ayanami." Rei replied.
"What ever floats your boat." Misato said. "By the way, UN's N2 mine bought us ten days., during that time, You and Shinji will be living together." Misato said. "WHAT!" Asuka yelled, "I can't stay with idiot like that!" Asuka snorted. "You never even got to know him" Misato said.
"Knowing one was enough, he's probably worse then fake one." Asuka replied. Rest of the drive was done is silence. Misato and others walked into the apartment to see Shinji cooking dinner. "Smells nice." Misato said. "It taste even better." Shinji replied confidently. Group set around the table, Shinji serving the food.
"God, I missed this food." Misato replied taking a bite of curry rice. "Other one didn't cook or do any laundry at all." Misato said. Asuka was surprised food actually tasted good, even for her German tong. "How do you beat the Angel?" Shinji asked. "You have to destroy both core simultaneously while Angel is merging, and during it's merge is only time you can see the core."
"It's going to be horrible if we miss." Shinji replied. "If you do, mind as well retreat and try later, UN has another N2 mine ready." Misato replied. "Yea and I get yelled because they have to remake the map." Shinji replied. "Yep, if you fail, I would have more paper work to do, I already have mountain of them to do." Misato said.
"I wonder how it would of turned out if I was here." Shinji said. "Well, you would of still lost, but not as badly." Misato said. Misato sighted. Shinji finished with his dinner and left the dishes in the sink. He walked over to the TV and started to plug in the cords for PS 3 and put in Dead or Alive 5. "Where did you get that game?" Misato asked.
"I borrowed it from friend of mine, She gets entire set for free because she is one of main character." Shinji said. "What do you mean?" Misato asked. "The characters are based on real people and their real style, Kasumi, Hayate, and Ayane each gets free copy, since they live together, they didn't need three, so I got one for free."
"They are real?" Misato asked shocked. "Yea, but story plot is half true half false." Shinji said. "I kind of learned that when I saw two Shinji." Misato said. "Yea, Kasumi and I proved them wrong, original is usually better."
Rest of the day was spent playing Dead or Alive, taking turns playing two player versus mode or playing four way tag mode, all in all, they forgot about their Dance Dance Revolution also known as DDR training. "Darn, we forgot about DDR training." Misato said when every one was getting ready for bed, Rei deciding to spend the day at Misato's place.
"Did you know that DDR was made for diet purpose? it is like cardio exercise, also constant movement can also raise your reflex a little." Shinji said standing up setting down on the couch. "Rei, you can take my room I'll sleep on the couch." Shinji said.
"No, Rei, you take Asuka's Room, Asuka and Shinji you two will be sleeping together in the living room." Misato said. "I am NOT sleeping with pervert like him!" Asuka screamed. Shinji just plugged his ears with his finger blocking out some of the sound.
"It is part of your training, you will both sleep, eat, DDR, brush teeth, every thing you can do together." Misato said Shinji raised his hand wanting to ask question. "And no groping or any other sexual contact" Misato stated. Shinji brought his hands down. "Your no fun." Shinji stated walking away.
"I don't believe this, aren't you going to say any thing third?" Asuka asked Shinji. Shinji just walked over to his room, graved his futon and Sheet, came back to the living room and laved down. "Good night." Shinji said, closing his eyes.
"I knew he was pervert, he probably wants to sleep with me." Asuka said hotly. "Shinji fell sleep already, beside I don't remember saying you have to us the same futon, may be your the perverted one." Misato said getting up, walking in to her room. Asuka went in to her new room grabbing her futon and blanket, grumbling about unfairness of every thing walked out and lay her futon down on opposite side of the room from Shinji.
Shinji being a early riser, was the first one up in the house hold, after finishing his morning jog, he took a quick shower and started to prepare breakfast for every one. "What are you cooking Shinji?" Misato asked stumbling out of her room still half asleep. Asuka was still sleeping on her futons.
"Armlet, it's western dish, basically egg stuffed with cheese and ham or bacon" Shinji answered flipping the egg over skillfully. "Your good at every thing aren't you." Misato commented. "Not every thing, but can do enough to live comfortable by my self."
"Only thing you need to learn now is academics, you are good at computers, martial arts, and cooking but your math is horrible not to mention your science and Japanese." Misato said. "How can you use computer to program when you are so bad at math?" Misato asked.
"I understand the basic concept of math, there isn't much to learn in math any way, just crap load of formulas that you will hardly ever use, you really don't need to know trig or calculus to program software's besides calculus is nothing more then more rules to follow, strong basic is all you need." Shinji replied. "learning the computer language is the most important part of programming."
Asuka Sit up on her bed, rubbing her eyes, Stretching her arms out. "How can you sleep on this thing, don't Japanese use bed?" Asuka complained. "I would of figured you would have been used to it by now." Shinji replied.
"I have a bed in my room thank you very much, I'm not used to sleeping on hard floor with little cushion." Asuka said. "I see, if you want, I can move your bed to the living room for you." Shinji offered. "and let every one see my bed? I think not." Asuka replied.
"Then what is it that you want?" Shinji asked. "I want to end this stupid training, there is no reason for us to sleep in same room." Asuka said to Misato. "by the way, this DDR might not be what you are used to, it has four button on foot pad and additional button that is being supported up using a stand."
Misato pointed a four stands that surrounded the foot pad. "screen will tell you which pad to hit so pay close attention." Shinji went by him self, doing fairly well until music gradually sped up, now he was using all the martial arts reflex he had not to trip over his feet, not to mention he had to hit the sign with his hand, all in all, he failed at the level seven.
Asuka was next to try, doing well up to sixth level, but making a mistake hitting a wrong sign, third test, both Shinji and Asuka went up, both did well at slow music but at level 3, they where too out of sync.
"You goal is get up to level seven, even more if you can." Misato said. "It would be easy to sync if music was bit slower." Shinji said. "Yea, music is too fast." Asuka replied. "So is the angel, we can't afford to move slow, you must be able to move fast as you can and still be able to sync with each other well enough to hit the angel.
"You know, sync is all good and dandy but you are forgetting the fact that the angel fights back, just us being able to sync is not good enough." Shinji said. "got better idea?" Misato asked. Shinji smirked. "Yea."
Shinji put in his Dead or live 5. "This is great for team combat." Shinji said going to two player tag team mode against the computer. "instead of using hand controller, we use our foot pad. foot pad is the directional button while this four button poll acts as other four, we don't have L1 or R1 but if you move your legs and hands fast enough, it shouldn't matter."
Shinji was first to try and first to fell extremely bad. He tripped over his own feet. "This is harder then it looks, only have two feet, and eight buttons, not to mention I have to jump and twist to get the right button." Shinji said stepping back and letting Asuka try.
"I didn't think foot pad worked with other games then DDR." Asuka stated. "Well, this is special model but I don't see why not, I mean controller is controller no matter the shape, it stills sends out same electrical frequency." Shinji said. "I don't see how this would help you two being able to sync together." Misato stated. "DDR practice lets us sync, same movement and all that, but in DOA 5 it lets us actually fight against computer, because of it's special feature, we can do two player VS. two computer at same time, what we are trying to do is beat the both opponent at same time.
"That makes sense I guess." Misato said, "It also helps because Angel like computer can block or counter attack no matter how good we sync, if we do it your way, if we miss or make a mistake we are done for, at least this way, even if we miss, we have second chance at fighting back.
"You theory is good but unless two angels are merging, you can't kill it." Misato said. "We'll have to beat it senseless and force it to merger." Shinji stated. "You are the pilot, I'll trust you in this, but don't fail me, I don't like paper works." Misato said.
"Does that mean I can sleep in my bed again?" Asuka asked. "Yea, no reason for us to be together 24/7, just 16/7." Shinji said smiling. "Yea, that makes me feel better." Asuka said sarcastically. "awe, I didn't know you liked sleeping with me, if it would make you feel better, it can be 23/7, I'll give you hour for your self for restroom break, unless you want me there with you." Shinji said.
"Isn't that sweet, famous third child fell in love with me and wants to be together, I'm sorry but my heart belongs to another." Asuka said posing like a tragic heroine. "Yea, and Kaji has Misato." Shinji said. Asuka gave Shinji the look that said I'm going to kill you soon very painfully. Shinji continued any way. "Isn't he bit old for you?" Shinji asked bluntly.
"I don't love him in that way!" Asuka yelled then said in quiet voice. "He was only father figure I had." Asuka replied her voice was so low, he barely heard her. Shinji walked closer to Asuka and gave her a warm hug. "I'm sorry, I was insensitive" Asuka slapped Shinji on the face.
"Watch your hands mister!" Asuka said, Shinji had grabbed her butt during the hug. "hey, you can't blame the guy for trying." Asuka said something about boys being perverts and other insults to Shinji. "I'm glad you are back to your fiery self, you had me worried." Shinji told her smiling. 'he was worried about me?' Asuka though. 'but why? all I ever do is insult him.'
For next two days, duo practiced virtual simulation Ritsuko made for the fight, Ritsuko came up with the plans for them to follow, ten out of ten, both finished off the fake angel like Misato Choreographed. "That's all for today, you have important fight tomorrow so get a good rest."
Shinji laid down on his bed thinking about the mission. "I have strangely bad feeling about this." He said quitely falling sleep.
Shinji and Asuka piloted their Eva towards the Angel, Asuka was holding on to a spear while Shinji had his newly made sword on his hands. Asuka rushed by the angel, cutting it in half, jumping away and letting it regenerate. they followed as the simulations, all was going well until final finishing move.
When two Eva flew down like a comet towards the angel, angel grabbed onto both units leg and cut it's cord. "I though you said Angel can't move while it is merging!" Shinji yelled at his mike.
"We though so too, but I guess that is not the case." Ritsuko said. "just get another cord and try again." Ritsuko said. "Roger." Shinji ran towards the spare cord only to run into Angel. surprisingly Angel was very good at fighting.
"Great, a 50 foot ninja, this feels like fighting against Hayate." Shinji said. Grabbing the incoming punch and elbowing the angel follow by kicking it up into the air. Asuka jumped towards the air born angel, kicking it few times then grabbed by its waist, clashing down to earth spinning.
"I can't believe that worked." Shinji commented, Running towards the cable. "I need a cable also." Asuka said running after Shinji. to there surprise, second angel appeared out of nowhere and tripped them both. Angel grabbed Unit 2 by it's leg and slammed it down on Unit 01. Before it could swing again, Shinji rolled and upper cut the angel and kicked away.
He tried to get to the power cable once more to find out his movements became slower. "oh shit!" Shinji said. he was out of energy. "Asuka, I'm out of power, it'll take to long to get the cord." Shinji said. "So am I, I was hoping you could get me the cord."
Two angels slowly walked towards Unit 02. Asuka was being thrown around like a rag doll, after few minutes of throwing her around, Angel made a spear of red light. 'Move! please move, move, move , move.' Asuka though. 'I don't want to die, I don't want to die, mama I don't want to die!' Asuka though, she was almost in tears.
Shinji heard a loud piercing scream. 'what the.' Shinji though trailed off as he saw Asuka's Unit 02 screaming. 'well, what do you know, I didn't think Unit 02 can go berserk. but what pulled it off?' Shinji though. Unit 02 was chasing down of the angel tackling it down and start to tear it's flesh off.
"mother, I leave every thing in your hands." Shinji said relaxing his body. Unit 01 took control of it self, rushing towards the other angel also tackling down and tearing it's flesh. 'what the hack are they doing?' Shinji asked him self.
Asuka was totally shocked that her Eva could move by it self, what she believed to be a tool was moving with out power and now tearing the Angel apart. Both Eva reached the core of the angel, breaking it's jaw restraint both angel opened it mouth, grabbing the core whole eating it..
Ritsuko and Misato was shocked. Misato because of what angel was doing and Ritsuko because she knew what this meant. Eva was taking in the Angels S2 engine. both Eva, not to mention angels special system. 'does that mean unless both Unit 01 and Unit 02's core is destroyed simultaneously, they can not die?' Ritsuko though, wishing she could test it out some how.
After the Shocking display, both Eva's stopped moving. Misato sent out a emergency rescue team to retrieve the Eva. "What the hell was that?" Asuka asked in shaking voice. both children was inside changing room "That was true form of Eva, I told you it was alive just as much as you and I." Shinji said. "but how? how could it move by it self?" Asuka asked.
"Your deepest desire, you must of asked some one for their help, and some one close to you must of answered." Shinji replied. "I'll tell you a secret that can never leave this room." Shinji said. Asuka knobbed her head. "Unit 02 can not move by it self unless you ask it to move, that is why we must think of moving. Now, if you ask for help from the Eva it will not answer, but if you ask it from the person who is inside of the Eva, it will" Shinji replied. "You just have to know whom that person is and believe in them"
"But I didn't ask any one, I just kept begging it to move." Asuka replied. "No, you must of have asked some one, think about it for while it will eventually come to you." Shinji said walking into the shower.
"It happen too early and to both Eva." Fuyutski said. "I know, this can be a double edged sword, now that third impact can also be triggered by Asuka and her Unit 02." Gendo said. "What will you do?" Fuyutski asked. "We wait." Gendo replied.
Asuka set in her room thinking of what happen. ' I can't think of any one, who would I ask for help?' Asuka though. She heard a sudden knock on her door. "What is it?" She asked already knowing who. "Its phone call for you, I think it's your mom" Shinji said. "Mom? that's it!" Asuka said opening the door.
"I found who I asked for help!" Asuka said excitedly. "who was it?" Shinji asked. "I asked my mom for help." Asuka replied. "You know what this means right?" Shinji asked. Asuka's eyes where moist with tears. "yea, mama didn't abandon me, she was with me all along." Asuka said, "she was looking out for me all this time and I didn't even know it."
"Don't feel bad, I didn't know it until it went berserk the first time, after that, for some reason, Eva always felt familiar, then I realized that my mother was helping me all along." Shinji said. "Is that why we are the pilots? not because of our skill but because of our mother?" Asuka asked. "Yea, it's rough but it is the truth, our mother left the future of man kind in our hands, we are the future, if we don't protect it, world will end." Shinji said.
"That makes me feel important." Asuka replied. "It's because you are the one of most important person to man kind." Shinji replied. then his stomach glowed ruining all his speech. Asuka couldn't help but giggle "I'm hungry, want to go eat?" Shinji asked. "Sure, lets go." Asuka followed Shinji out, getting on his bike. two of them raced down the streets of Tokyo 3, taking in the view of town they saved once more.
"Shinji, could you teach me how to control Eva like you do?" Asuka asked quitely. "I can't." Shinji answered. "I can only tell you how I control the Eva, but I'm not sure if Unit 02 is same as Unit 01." Shinji replied. "so, you can't teach me how to make a AP shield like you do?"
"I just imagine it, and it happens. I imagine it in my mind, the shape of the shield and how the energy could not penetrate that shield." Shinji said. "That's it?" Asuka asked. "that's simple!"
"Not really, you must believe in that shield, if you even think about the shield breaking, it will break, same as how we walk in Eva, we imagine it walking and jumping, but if your image is shattered, Eva ends up tripping."
"I wonder what else our Eva could do." Asuka said out loud. "Rest of the Angels will be easy with our Eva's new ability to operate with out the cable." Asuka said. "I wouldn't be too confident in that, Angels aren't stupid, they get smarter and smarter, most of the angel has about same strength but their technique and way of thinking is different."
"Like Unit 02 and Unit 01." Asuka said. "Not really, Unit 01 is superior in every single aspect." Shinji said. "are you saying my Unit 02 is weaker then a prototype?" Asuka asked hotly, "Your Eva is superior to Unit 00, the prototype, but my Eva is not a Prototype nor first Eva unit like yours." Shinji said starting the engine of his bike.
"Lets go to NERV, I'll show you something cool." Shinji said. Asuka got on the bike, hugging Shinji tightly. Drive took longer then usual, Shinji wanting to enjoy the feeling drove on rather slowly. 'she's not too bad of a company.' he though to him self.
'Shinji's been through about as much as I have, facing his mothers death, living with relatives, and yet, he doesn't bitch at any one that gets on his nerve.' Asuka though. 'He also understands my feeling better the Kaji, he know exactly what I have been through, may be, just may be I can make this relationship last.'
Back at the Misato's apartment, Misato was currently on the phone with someone. "Yea, She really changed suddenly after her Eva went berserk, something about how her mother was all ways with her, protecting her, she's actually nice to Shinji, she has yet to yell at him."
"Just keep an eye on her, I just hope she'll be ok." Ritsuko said, "by the way, how is your sex life with Kaji?" Ritsuko asked. "WHAT! that jerk told you!?" Misato yelled at the phone. "You mean you two really got back together? I was just joking." Ritsuko said laughing.
"Yea, we got back tougher, I still love him for some reason." Misato said. "If this continues we might have double wedding, Shinji and Asuka, you and Kaji."
"Don't even joke like that, I don't know what happen between the two, but they are acting too nice to each other." Misato said worriedly. "Don't worry about it, every thing will turn out fine, I got to go, Shinji and Asuka is here, they want to test something with Eva." Ritsuko hanged up the phone.
Shinji and Asuka got on the Eva, going into virtual simulation. "Asuka, I'm going to shoot at you with this paint gun, think about AT field in shape of a Shield that can block anything."
Soon, red shield was formed in front of Unit 02, Shinji shot his guns watching the bullets hit the shield, not even the paints went through it. 'nice, for first try.' Shinji though. Unit 01 rushed at Unit 02, AT field forming around it's hands, he slashed at the shield cutting it in half.
"What the?." Asuka asked her self. "Same thing, I imagined my Eva using it's own AT field to cut through your shield, you on the other hand didn't reinforce your imagination. Try again, but this time when I try to cut through the shield, imagine your Shield with standing the blow."
Unit 01 stepped back, giving Unit 02 more room, it didn't take long for her to create the shield. Shinji tried the same thing, to his surprise, his chop cut through the shield, when it was about in the center, Shield recreated it self, trapping it's hands.
Shinji though of stretching the shield to let his hands free, soon both where interlocked in fight of imagination and concentration. Unit 01 used it's other hand and punched the shield totaling shattering it.
"Good job Asuka, it's very good for fist time." Shinji said. "How did you shatter my shield?" Asuka asked. "You where too busy concentrating on my fist that was stuck on your shield, you didn't think about other blows.
"This is harder then I though." Asuka said. "That is why we only use it during dire emergency." Shinji said. "can we shoot beam's like Angel does?" Asuka asked. "I'm sure we could, but I don't think we should. Seele will get pissed at us for creating a god."
"They are already pissed, your father is getting chewed out by them already for creating not one but two man made gods." Ritsuko said through the mike. "See, lets not get dad in any more trouble."
"You know, now that I think about it, if unit 01 and 02 can move with out cable, then do we even need unit 00?" Asuka asked. "I don't know, but I have weird feeling that we will need it."
"Why do you say that?" Asuka asked. "Angels can adopt very quickly, and they seem to know about our Eva before they even see it. I'm guessing what the previous one knows the second one knows about it, so next angel will know about our S2 engine."
Rest of the day was spent in boredom, they where so bored that Shinji though he would die of boredom, it didn't help matter any that pen pen decided to break the PS 3 by getting it wet.
"This sucks, there is absolutely nothing to do in this town, no amusement park, no theaters, no parks, It's all stupid angels fault!" Asuka screamed. "Hey Shinji, want to kiss?" Asuka asked.
"Huh? what?" Shinji asked dumbly, his brain still not registering what she was talking about, his brain was currently a sleep from boredom. Shinji watched as Asuka walked over to him, sitting down beside him on the sofa, leaning in closer and kissed him. He was surprised at how soft Asuka's lips where.
Shinji felt her tong exploring his mouth, he returned the favor automatically. after 30 seconds both came back up for air. Shinji stared at Asuka. ". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ." he said.
After few more minutes of silence, Asuka broke it. "did you like it?" Asuka asked. "It could of been better." Shinji said. "Are we thinking of same thing?" Asuka asked. "I hope so" Shinji replied. "So you want to do it?" Asuka asked.
"Sure." Shinji said. "Great! thanks!" Asuka said getting off the sofa grabbing the two motorcycle helmet. "I'm grad you agreed, hurry up and get dressed." Asuka said. "What are you talking about?" Shinji asked.
"You just agreed that you're going to take me to the mall and be my bag carrier, so hurry up!" Asuka said. Shinji stood up sighting, "man, I though you meant you wanted to have fun with me."
"We are, we are going shopping, and shopping is fun." Asuka said. "I meant my kind of fun." Shinji said. "keep dreaming pervert, it might come true some day." Asuka said. "I hope it's soon." Shinji replied, getting ready to go to the mall.
"So, what are we shopping for?" Shinji asked. "Swim suit for next field trip." Asuka said. "aren't you going to get one?" Asuka asked. "I have one." Shinji replied. "lets try that store next" Asuka said walking into swimsuit section. Shinji was currently carrying six bags, three on each hands.
Bag it self was light, only containing one or two clothing, it was hard to carry because of its size not the weighting. Shinji set his bags down, sitting on the chair out side of the changing room. "I'm grad this place has chair out side the changing room." Shinji said, waiting for Asuka.
She came out surprisingly fast, Shinji looked up to get wide eyed. she was wearing very sexy navy colored two piece bikini. Asuka spun around showing off her body. "How does it look?"
"Shocking, I didn't think you could look so delicious." Shinji said. "Um, did I say that out loud?" he asked. "yes you did." Asuka said. "poor choice of words but by your reaction, I must look good in this." Asuka said. "So Im off the hook?" Shinji asked.
"No, your paying for this." Asuka said, walking back into the stall. Shinji breathed out loud. few minutes later, they where ringing up her swimsuit, to Shinji's shock. "$240? for that? my shirt has more material then that!" Shinji said. "It's made of pure silk" Asuka said. "So is my shirt." Shinji replied. "And it only cost me $90"
"what, are you telling me I'm not worth $240?" Asuka said. "lets go, I need a nap" Shinji said, wishing he had a car. "It's hard to balance nine bags so hold tight." Shinji said taking off the parking lot.
Ride home was wobblier then normal, Shinji trying to balance the bags during turns, It didn't help matter any that Asuka didn't know how to swift her weight during each turn.
"I'm home" Shinji said waling in. "Welcome back, where did you two go?" Misato asked. "Oh, never mind." She said after seeing Shinji caring nine shopping bags. "had fun?" She asked. Shinji just gave her a look that explained every thing.
"Yep. it was fun, although I wish I would of borrowed your car, I would of bought more but Shinji was on his bike." Asuka said. "what happened with Shinji?" Misato asked. "oh, nothing much, I made him buy me a $240 swim suit." Asuka said.
"if you call that nothing much, I would hate to see you say great deal." Misato went back to drinking her beer by the sofa. "I just wish there is something to do in this town, every thing is closed except the mall, and our mall doesn't even have movie theaters." Asuka said.
"one is being built as we speak, its in the back part of the mall, the section that is closed off." Misato said. "I hope it's half way decent." Asuka said walking in to her room to organize the things she bought. "We're lucky just to be alive." Misato whispered to her self.
