Okay, for all of the people reading my story, I apologize. In order to please the masses, I'm going to change the story line a bit. I understand that Evangelion does need a Shinji. But this story was just supposed to be fun, that's all. Like I said in the description, my own perspective on how this series could have happened. And a request for a timeline, too....hmmm....okay, here we go then:
-Michiaru and Burade were recruited simultaneously as pilots when two separate branches of NERV were building the newly talked about Evas that could be mass-produced. The two boys were asked to be pilots as tests, to see if the Evas could function properly with the everyday-human. Synchronization with the boys so far has gone well, but there are still some questions SEELE is asking NERV, suspicious as they are.
-Finally, to fully address the love triangle between Michiaru and Misato, it's just an infatuation. I'll explain how it happened though: Misato, still wondering whether she'll end up being alone for the rest of her life, reached out desperately to claim Michiaru. And Kaji, he actually provoked it, by trying to hard with Misato, and making her feel that she doesn't just want to have an affair, she wants to actually be with someone. Michiaru responded by returning the love because he knows how hard Misato's life is, and what she had to go through in the past. But they do enjoy each other's company, even through the age difference. So, just keep reading, and see how it turns out ^_^.
Okay, finally, now for the next chapter:
Rei......what am I going to do? I wondered. How....how am I going to handle this? More importantly, what am I going to tell her? And what caused her to act this way? Hundreds of questions were surging through my mind as I was walking home (if you can call NERV that). It was a relatively windy day, the cherry blossom trees blowing here and there. But being surrounded by buildings, there isn't much to look at....
"Hey, Michi! Do you need a ride?"
"Huh?" I said, surprised. I turned around to see Misato's blue car rolling down the street, the windows glistening in the sun. She pulled up to the sidewalk where I was walking.
"Well, hop in," she said, "Come on, it's a lot faster this way."
I smiled. "Okay, sure. Thanks, Misato."
"No problem," she replied, smiling also, "Sooo....what's up?"
"Well...." I didn't want to tell her what had happened with Rei, and I wasn't sure I could even if I wanted to, "Um....nothing really, just another typical day."
"From your enthusiasm, I could tell," she grinned, "Oh, yeah, when we arrive Ritsuko told me to inform you that she need to run some more synchronization tests. Sorry...hope you didn't have plans tonight..."
"No...I'm free....don't worry about it..." Yet inside I knew that I desperately wanted to speak with Rei. But I still didn't know what the hell I was going to do....
"Well, here we are." Misato said, interrupting my thoughts as her car pulled into the front of the entrance to NERV headquarters, "Let's head to the lab, then. And Michi...." she said as she looked at me while I was walking toward the main elevator, "Are...are you sure nothing's wrong? Is it the tests? I can talk to Ritsuko about postponing them...."
"No, really, I'm fine," I responded, forcing a smile, reaching up and kissing her quickly, "I'm just distracted, I guess...."
"Well, okay....let's get to it, then," Misato said. As we approached the elevator, I started feeling a bit better. It...it was nothing, I thought to myself as the elevator doors closed, and Misato pressed the button that led to the lab. I mean, it's Rei, she was probably just.....just stressed about something, maybe a test....and besides, I'd see her after the tests anyway, so I decided that's when I would talk to her about it. But then-
BEEP! BEEP! A siren started ringing throughout NERV. The elevator suddenly stopped, and the overhead light above started flashing a blinding red. Wait, it can't be, I thought to myself, not now, not now....
"An Angel!" Misato shouted, "We have to hurry and get you suited up! Michiaru-" she turned to me, "do you have your plug-in suit?"
"Yeah, in my bag," I responded quickly while simultaneously bringing my backpack down off my shoulders and ripping it open.
"You'll have to change in here, and fast," she stated. Then Misato went to the control panel in the elevator, and flipped the emergency control switch, activating it once again. Well, I thought as I finished zipping up the back of my orange plug-in suit, Rei will just have to wait. Now for this Angel....
Then the elevator stopped, and the doors swung open. I was about to run outside, when I ran into another person.
"Oh! I'm sorry, I'm just in a hurry..."
"That's okay.....hello, Misato...." the person responded. I then looked up into the eyes of a boy about my age, with black hair, and a pale face. When I looked over confusedly at Misato, she exclaimed:
"Shinji!"
