Author's Notes: Well that was a sad excuse for an action scene. Wait until you see me try to write angst, I'll have to put it under humor because you'll laugh so hard. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Recap of Chapter 3
"FIRE!" Misato ordered and they complied by pressing down on a blinking red button, which set off the turrets. The EVA jumped from the Angel's now open mouth and onto one of the boats, waiting for the right moment. When the AT field was disabled momentarily by the firing, Unit 02 lunged forward, piercing the red sphere with its knife. A second later, the Angel disappeared.
"WooHoo!" cheering, everyone on the ships began jumping around, laughing and clapping. Not noticing what she was doing, Misato un-expectingly jumped into Kaji's arms. She looked at the person who'd caught her and frown before pulling away again, dusting off her shirt as if he was some sort of germ. When she was done, she grabbed the microphone, smiling. "Good work, you two! Get back onto the carrier."

"Oh man, she was such a female dog, if you know what I mean..." Suzahara Toji snickered, remembering what had happened just a few hours ago.
"Well, you don't have to worry anymore, buddy. We won't be seeing her for a while now." Aida Kensuke piped in, watching the footage he'd recorded that same day on his video recorder.
Ikari Shinji stayed silent as his friends insulted his crush. 'Why are they so mean to her? I mean, Toji did look up her dress, even if it was an accident.'
The basketball star wrapped his arms around the back of his chair, smirking. "Yeah, but Shinji here has to see her almost everyday since he's going to be working with her." He nudged the EVA pilot awake.
Shinji just sighed, a lovey-dovey look appearing on his face. "It's not that bad..." he trailed off as the door to the classroom slid open quickly.
"WAH!?" Toji pointed his finger at the figure that had appeared. "W-w-w-w-w- what is she doing here?!"
The figure walked to the front of the class, writing her name neatly on the chalkboard then turned around, a smile on her lips. "My name's Soryu Asuka Langley. Pleased to meet you, I'm sure."
Toji looked as though he was about to faint while Kensuke was mildly surprised and Shinji held a soft smile, his features soft.
~*~
"Asuka this, Asuka that. Jeez, you'd think that people would see her for who she really is and not just some pretty face." Kensuke complained, taking the money from a younger student and handing him photos in return.
Shinji looked over to his friend, his face blank of emotion. "And what is she really like?" he asked sharply.
Toji lifted the negatives of the photos his friend had taken, grimacing in pain. "You were there, Shinji. She really hits hard."
The Third Child only looked forward again, his mind wondering to the girl they'd been talking about.
~*~
"Gutten Morgen, Ikari." The boy turned around to see his redheaded comrade behind him, a smile on her face. Asuka had recently joined his school and, to his immense surprise and great luck, she had been enrolled in his class. The hot-tempered female came up behind him, one hand on her hips and the other carrying her bag.
Shinji gulped nervously, unaware that she'd been behind him. "G-guttin M- morgin." His accent was ridiculous and he mentally hit himself. 'You probably just insulted her.'
"So, the First is here too, ne?" she asked, looking around for anyone but only found hormone-driven boys with hearts in their eyes following her.
He blinked, "Um...what do you mean, Soryu?" 'First, first, first...first what?'
She smacked him on the back of the head again but kept her smile. "The First Child, you dummkopf! I was informed that she was here too." She put her hand on her hip again. "So, where is she?" she demanded.
He blinked again, this time understanding but still confused. "Oh, you mean Ayanami? She's down there." He pointed to a blue haired, pale skinned girl reading a book, all by herself.
Asuka made a face at her. "Man, what's with you two? You guys are so not social!" she exclaimed before walking down the escalator and over to the other girl. Shinji followed suite, groaning softly. 'Asuka won't like her...'
Once she reached her, Asuka did it on purpose so that the other one couldn't read her book. But, to her surprise, she just moved over so that Unit 02's pilot's shadow was out of the way. Growling, she took a step forward, casting her shadow on the book again and was rewarded by the partially-albino child to look up at her.
"Yes?" Ayanami Rei asked, her features not showing any emotions.
"You're the First Child? Oh well! My name's Asuka, Soryu Asuka Langley, nice to meet you, let's be friends." She held her hand out for Rei to shake.
The other just looked at it then back at Asuka's face. "I would do so if I was ordered to."
Face-faulting, she took her hand back. "Come on! It'll be fun! If we're going to be pilots together, we should be friends, right?"
Rei only went back to her book, ignoring the attention seeker.
Asuka huffed then turned on Shinji, knowing he would acknowledge her. "Why are you people so boring?" she asked loudly, grabbing the near-by class rep, Hikari, by the hand and dragging her away. "Let's go, Hikari, we'll find something more fun to do."
~*~
(A/N: Sorry, just had to put this: if I ever find out who was driving the car that splashed me, I swear to God, you better watch your back cause I'll be stepping on it. Okay, that's all ^^;)
"Good job, you two. You can go get changed now." Akagi Ritsuko said, then leaned back again, writing something on her clipboard.
"Hey, where's Ayanami?" Shinji asked as the gross-tasting LCL fluid drained out of the plug he sat in.
This time Katsuragi Misato replied. "She came in earlier and got them over with already." She turned to her college-buddy. "So, how'd they do?" she asked curiously.
Nodding to herself, Ritsuko continued to write. "Shinji did extremely well for him and Asuka's are higher than the one's the NERV in Germany recorded." She told her friend.
Smiling, Misato looked at a camera and saw the two pilots laughing at something. "I think it's love." She said, crossing her arms.
The blonde laughed lightly, taking her glasses off. "Love, hmm?" she tucked them into her lab-coat's breast pocket. "Something I heard you're experiencing all over again, no?"
Groaning, Misato picked up her coffee, taking a long chug. "Urg! You heard he's here too?"
She laughed again. "Been a long time since you two went out, who knows, maybe he's changed." She started walking over to the elevator door, followed by Misato.
"He hasn't in the least! He's still immature, sloppy-looking and an even bigger womanizer than before!" The Captain complained, pressing a button on the panel.
"Hmm, but those were all the things you fell in love with all those years ago, am I right?" she smiled as her friend took her purple hair in two handfuls, pulling tightly while shaking her head.
"Don't remind me!"

Author's Notes: Meh, even though it was a short chapter, the next will be longer (don't I always say that...). I just watched a couple episodes and can tell that the chappie with the dance moves attack is going to be good cause I'll be nice and hyper for that. That's my favorite episodes and I like to sing the music, it's hilarious.
Thank to:
-keyblade-02: I feel so loved! I've never gotten such a nice review! Thank you!
-jmbeard: Now that you've pointed out the fact that I mispelt dummkopf and that's the real spelling, I'm using it to insult everyone. I feel so special!
-Angels Fury: After just watching the episode I just did, I realize I've messed up on the battle too...
-ShadowScythe: PENPEN!! Sorry I have an obsession with him. My MSN skin is penguins, my display picture is PenPen and my computer's background picture is also PenPen.
-Vibious: I don't want to know if she was wearing panties, I'm a girl, it's one thing that doesn't turn me on. =P
-Dargonfly: you're about the fourth person that's told me how to spell Progressive Knife but that doesn't matter, thank you anyway! ^_^
R&R PLZ!!
