Excuse me I have to find a tissue . . .

"This is Evangelion Unit One" Ritsuko stated, Rei looked at her surprised, wasn't Rokubungi going to say anything? Rei stayed quiet, they will explain this monstrosity in their own good time. It did not matter to her. She here for one reason, to get even with Rokubungi. "Built here in secret it's man kind last defense against the angels." Ritsuko continued.
"We are going to use unit 01? "Kaji asked shocked, obviously he didn't know what was going on here. "We in no position to use Shinji, you don't think SHE can, she just got here! Shinji took 7 months to sync with his EVA!"
"You are going to pilot it Rei." Gendo stated his voice indifferent. Rei stepped back into Kaji shocked. He wanted her to pilot this thing. How? She felt Kaji's warm hands press into her back and stable her. It was now or never she thought to herself.
"Why should I do anything for you?" Rei asked her voice barely audible in the large hanger. She stared at Gendo eyes never leaving his.
"This isn't for me Rei this is for the fate of man kind." Gendo replied he bore her down with the sheer force of his eyes burning into hers. She could not stand to look at him anymore. Instead she looked to Ritsuko. Ritsuko's eyes narrowed at her. "There is not much time Rei. Take off all the metal your wearing, that way you won't ruin the harmonics in the plug -"
A loud rumble interrupted their conversation and the hanger shook violently. "It's close, I think it can sense us." Gendo said to no one in particular. He stared at Rei silently demanding an answer. The question hung in the air. Even the staff was silent as Rei considered her options. "You just have to sit in the seat Rei. There is not much time." Ritsuko repeated.
"If you going to do it now. Then do it, if not, leave!" Gendo yelled at Rei. She winced at the sound of his voice. She couldn't take his abuse; she turned to Kaji looking for help, for something. He returned her silent plea for help with a cold stare.
"Get in, now." He replied coldly. Rei took a step away from him. This isn't right. She pushed past him and ran down the bridge. She ran down the nondescript corridors away from the pressures of the world.
Gendo Ikari watched her run in disgust. "Fuyutsuki." He called over the intercom.
"Yes sir?" Fuyutsuki replied appearing on one of the many small screens that surrounded Gendo.
"The spare is unusable. Wake Shinji up."
"But can we use him?" Fuyutsuki asked unsure if what Ikari was doing was the right thing.
"He's not dead yet. "
Fuyutsuki's picture is replaced by a blank screen with the words [sound only]
"Shinji?" Gendo asks
"Yes?" a soft, raspy male voice answers.
"The spare turned out to be unusable, you will do it again." Gendo says softly, a hint of emotion in his voice that was not there when he talked to Rei.
"Yes sir."
Ritsuko sighed. "Change Eva 01's configurations to suit Shinji!" she yelled to her assistant Maya.
~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~
Rei stared at the white porcelain of the bathroom sink. Somehow she had found her way into the female bathrooms. It was empty to her great relief. She couldn't handle anymore human contact at the moment. Her father. He was so cruel she thought to herself, he wasn't like that before. There was once a time . . . . Once again Rei fell into the world of her memories.
- - - - - - -
She was three and playing in the backyard of their old home. It was one of those nice moments where it was just the wind and her. She ran past some trees and found herself caught. Every time she tried to get free sharp daggers of pain would stab her in the head. She cried. She was too young; she didn't know what was wrong. Daddy? Gendo came running to her, worry etched in his face. "What's wrong sweetheart?" he asked softly gathering her up in a hug. She yelled in pain again. Gendo eyed her again; unsure of what was wrong, his eyes softened as he realized the source of her distress. He even managed a soft chuckle as her untangled her long hair from a tree branch. Rei sat up to look in to her fathers face. She sniffled and rubbed her eyes with chubby fists. "It's okay silly, you were just tangled in a tree. My, don't you have beautiful long hair Rei. It suits you well. I like it this long don't you?" he asked Rei, touching her nose softly with his finger. The young Rei smiled and the memory vanished.
-
He had always liked her hair long Rei recalled. She looked up at the reflection of herself. Her cheeks were etched black with tears and her silvery blue hair was slightly ruffled. She ran a hand through it and it became normal again. She sighed washing her face so that all the makeup came off. She didn't want to give into Gendo but she had to, for the sake of mankind. From what she gathered when she left the hanger they had another pilot. But he or she wasn't or couldn't pilot for some reason or another. Rei thought about what she had heard. Shinji was unusable. Who was Shinji? What did they mean he's not dead yet? She thought to herself. A part of her wanted to run away. Let Shinji take care of man kind, they had him they didn't need her. But then she couldn't. It wouldn't be fair. And they said he couldn't pilot anyway, there must be something wrong. Another small earthquake supported her decision. She thought of all the people that could die. All that could be saved if she just sat in that machine. It wasn't like her life was worth anything to anyone anyway. But the last thing that Rei wanted to do was to obey her father. She didn't even want to cooperate with him. She took of all of her jewelry. She was going to pilot the Eva but before she did that she opened one of the cupboards under the sink. There lay what she was looking for. She grasped the scissors in her hand and began to cut her hair.
~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~
Rei walked back into the hanger. She was ready. Even if she was going to die she was ready. On the bridge a small crowd had gathered. There were a couple of nurses and a small white stretcher. Kaji and Ritsuko were nowhere to be seen. Rei walked casually up to the patient and the nurses moved away talking quietly to each other. On the stretcher was a boy who was her age. He had short brown hair and was fairly thin. He wore a suit like hers but much of it was missing and replaced by bandages. A pained expression crossed his face. Rei looked at him sadly. He looked as if he was in great pain. This must be Shinji. Rei thought to herself. Another violent earthquake shook the hanger. The stretcher was thrown to one side and Rei to another. This quake was larger than the first two. The whole hanger shook as if it was about to cave in. A few lights got free from the roof and came plummeting down towards Rei.
"REI!" Kaji yelled from his viewpoint on the stairs but there was nothing he could do.
Rei looked up to see the lights crashing down towards her, there was nothing she could do, tears formed in her eyes, she was so ready to give up her life for man kind and this happens! She thought to herself. Rei pulled her hands over her head knowing that it would do nothing but feeling safer for it. She waited for the inevitable but it never came. Instead a large crash could be heard somewhere above her. She looked up to see Gendo smirking at her. "Eva unit 01 just activated. It ripped right out of the right arm restraints! " A voice rang out over the speaker. Rei looked up to find the big purple hand of the Eva shielding her, she stared into the face of unit 01, it stared back.
"No that's not possible, the entry plug wasn't even inserted, that can't happen! " Ritsuko yelled holding on the staircase opposite Kaji's. Kaji stared at the scene in front of him. "What? The Eva acted without any kind of interface?" Kaji said as shocked as Ritsuko. He watched as Rei picked herself up and ran towards Shinji, Eva unit 01's hand still hung above where she was sitting. Why had Eva moved? Kaji pondered. Obviously to protect Rei, Why else? But then you could ask why Rei? Kaji sighed at his own curiosity and stole a glance at Gendo. He was smirking, as if he knew something. Kaji had more to ponder about than he first realized.
Rei ran towards Shinji praying that he was ok. The stretcher had flung on its side and Shinji now lay sprawled across the bridge. Blood seeped from his body but Rei couldn't tell which wound. "Shinji are you okay?" she asked him moving him so he sat up a little. Shinji grunted as pain washed over his body. Although he was weary and barely conscience he glanced at Rei, a quizzical look flashed across his features but it was replaced with a painful one quickly. Shinji gasped as Rei shifted him a little more. Rei looked down at the hand she had held Shinji up with. It was covered with red blood.
"I'll pilot it." She said voice soft yet commanding.
Gendo smiled at her decision.
"But don't forget I do this for the fate of man kind not for you." Rei added venom in her voice. She handed Shinji over to one of the many nurses that had rushed to her aid. She glared at Gendo. He didn't flinch instead he turned his back on her.
"I see you've cut your hair Rei, unfortunate." He said before walking away. Rei scowled at him.
~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~ ' ~
Rei sat in the cockpit of the evangelion, or plug as they called it, nervously. Random commands were run off; although she was listening attentively to them they meant nothing to her.
"Cooling process completed."
"Right arm repairs completed."
"Cage now in position for docking."
"Signal plug terminator now being ejected"
"Insert the entry plug." Ritsuko commanded.
"Inserting the entry plug."
"Plug locked in place."
"Connecting unit 01"
"Commence LCL injection into entry plug." Ritsuko replied to her personnel calmly.
"Filling entry plug."
Rei heard the swishing sound of water beneath her. She looked down to be faced with a yellowy liquid that was rapidly taking over her plug. "What's this?" she squealed trying to edge further up in her seat. The liquid was almost at her chin. "Ahh!" she squealed again holding her breath quickly so she wouldn't be drowned.
"Don't worry." Ritsuko said, "Once the LCL is into your lungs your blood will be oxygenated directly."
Rei let go of the air she was holding. The LCL flooded into her mouth and nose filling every part of her body. It was a sickly feeling. Kaji looked anxious. "Are you okay Rei?" he asked.
"Fine." Rei lied, she wanted to throw up. Ritsuko's personnel continued the rattle of commands.
"Connecting main power."
"All circuits transmitting."
"Roger."
"Connecting secondary contact."
"A-10 nerve connection normal."
"Configure the language lock interface for Japanese."
Suddenly the view around Rei changed. No longer was she surrounded by murky thick liquid. Rather she could see everything that was happening around her.
"All preliminary contacts established performance nominal."
"Bi-directional circuits are open."
"Synchronization ratio at 41.3%."
"Amazing." Ritsuko gasped when she heard the sync ratio from her assistant Maya.
Maya continued her analysis, "harmonics seem to be normal, I see no disturbances.' She said in awe.
"It's going to work." Ritsuko replied matching the awe in Maya's voice.
"We are ready to launch." Kaji said starting the next installment of commands.
"Release the first lock bolt."
"Released."
"Remove the umbilical bridge."
"Release the second lock bolt."
"Released."
"Remove the first then second bindings."
"Disengaged the first through to fifteen safety locks."
"Internal battery fully charged."
"External power supply socket operational."
"Ok, Eva unit 01 to the launching pad." Maya instructed. The tension on the bridge could be cut with a knife as they watched evangelion unit 01 make its way to the launch pad. Maya flicked a hand through her short brown hair, "Course clear, all green."
"It's ready for launch." Ritsuko said. Kaji nodded at her.
"Not that it matters right." Fuyutsuki said to Gendo under his breath.
"Of course it does," Gendo replied smoothly " We have no future unless we beat the angels."
"Ikari are you truly satisfied with this?" Fuyutsuki asked once again showing his wavering faith towards his superior. He didn't receive an answer instead he watched as Gendo nodded his head at Kaji giving him the clearance to launch Evangelion unit 01.
"Launch!" Kaji yelled sending the Eva whooshing up a tunnel.
Rei felt sick as the Eva raced through the path and colours and lines flashed before her eyes. As abruptly as it started it stopped and the Eva stood in front of it's enemy, the angel.

YAY! I finally finished the first eva episode! Woo hoo! Don't ask me where the cutting hair thing came from. . It's weird eh? I just realized that in the first chapter I said Rei's hair was down to her shoulders when it really is a bob cut. So I got her to cut her hair! Make sense? I'm confused _
But yeah tell me what you think. I know your compelled to pressing the purple/blue button on the bottom of the page that will submit a review so please feel free to submit a review and show me that watching the first episode of NGE over and over was not in vain! ^-^
To everyone who reviewed and those who did not review my last chapter THANKS for reading!
To my wonderful reviewers! *Throws Freddo Frogs to the crowd*
Starkitsune: thanks for reviewing I'm glad you like it! Did you like this chapter?
Fifty Points of the Mind: Thanks for your review I'm glad you think it's exceptional *blushes while laughing sheepishly* and don't worry I have no intentions of changing Rei's graceful, ethereal beauty! She changes back to normal now. Cause she can't pilot her Eva with all her jewelry. I just needed to show her rebellious side! So no she's not a punk or a grunge or a goth. Um no her hair is the same as well. I couldn't dye her hair! It's too nice! Although she won't be as devoted as you think . . . I based my Rei on the third Rei, not the second (which gives up her life for shinji) which is the one I think you have fallen for. I didn't think many guys were desperate romantics! Lolz! Uh all I can say is that I tuned Rei's attitude down a little cause I realized she is a little too OOC so you may be pleasantly surprised in the next few chapters! Thanks again for your review!
Neko Kuroban: Brownie points for you! Yup I am trying to see how swapping their lives will change their personalities! And no she won't fall into Shinji's porcupine dilemma, it won't make sense. Thanks for your review!
ACGS: Umm no I don't think I'll change Asuka with anyone cause if she did it would be Touji and she will be cut out of the fic completely and I don't want that. Asuka will still have a crush on Kaji, how could I cut that out ^-^! I don't want to give to much away but since Kaji is in Misato's position in the fic He is the one who lives with the pilots, now how will he survive with Asuka? Lolz! Thanks for your review I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
Hououza: hey! Thanks for your review! You could have reviewed for either! Or both *wink wink* hm, yeah I wonder how they will react with each other. You see a flash of it in this chapter! Hope you liked this chapter! Oh and keep practicing with the puppy dog eye's you'll get it one day ^_^!

I based my Rei on the third Rei, not the second (which gives up her life for shinji) which is the one I think you have fallen for. I didn't think many guys were desperate romantics! Lolz! Uh all I can say is that I tuned Rei's attitude down a little cause I realized she is a little too OOC so you may be pleasantly surprised in the next few chapters! Thanks again for your review!
Neko Kuroban: Brownie points for you! Yup I am trying to see how swapping their lives will change their personalities! And no she won't fall into Shinji's porcupine dilemma, it won't make sense. Thanks for your review!
ACGS: Umm no I don't think I'll change Asuka with anyone cause if she did it would be Touji and she will be cut out of the fic completely and I don't want that. Asuka will still have a crush on Kaji, how could I cut that out ^-^! I don't want to give to much away but since Kaji is in Misato's position in the fic He is the one who lives with the pilots, now how will he survive with Asuka? Lolz! Thanks for your review I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
Hououza: hey! Thanks for your review! You could have reviewed for either! Or both *wink wink* hm, yeah I wonder how they will react with each other. You see a flash of it in this chapter! Hope you liked this chapter! Oh and keep practicing with the puppy dog eye's you'll get it one day ^_^!
