"Hey Shinji, what are you doing?" Ritsuko asked as she walked into the command center.

"I'm playing Counter Strike." Shinji replied, continuously taping the right trigger on his Xbox controller.

"Where did you get that antique video game?" Ritsuko asked.

"Oh, Its Xbox emulator I had on my computer." Shinji replied with a shrug.

"Shouldn't you be practicing with Asuka on the sync?" Ritsuko asked.

"Nah, she in her bath, and she screamed at me not to pick or she will step on me with her Eva and make it look like an accident." Shinji answered.

"Wait a minute... your playing a video game in command center using our visual screen!?" Ritsuko screamed pointing at the gigantic two hundred inch screen.

"You guys still have plenty more left, I'm pretty sure me taking one of the screen in the corner would affect your daily work too much." Shinji replied with a shrug as he saw down the terrorists.

"Wait.... Emulator?! Only computer in command center is MAGI!" Ritsuko screamed.

"Yea, I asked MAGI if I could use her to play a game, she said yes, and is even willing to make this game more realistic." Shinji replied.

"I'll KILL YOU!" Ritsuko screamed as she lunged at Shinji, grabbing his neck and beginning to choke the life out of the poor boy.

"What's all this commotion so early in the morning?" Gendo asked.

"Shinji was playing a video game using MAGI." Ritsuko stated violently shaking Shinji.

"Oh?" Gendo asked in his usual calm voice walking over to Shinji.

"So you decided to use the greatest computer man kind has created to play video game?" Gendo asked still using his calm collected voice that seemed cold.

"Yea, I mean why else would people want to make computers other then to surf the web, play video game, and every once a while work?" Shinji asked rubbing his neck. "With MAGI there is no loading time."

"Son, I can't believe you would play Counter Strike on MAGI." Gendo begun, Ritsuko was cheering him on in the scolding.

"With out inviting me." Gendo finished, Ritsuko slipped and fell dew to surprise.

"Son, this is how you do head shots." Gendo stated choosing Desert Eagle and shooting Shinji's character in the head. "HEAD SHOT!" game voice rang through out the room, game was even more enhanced by the stereo system of the command center.

Game raged on, as more people begun to join in, soon they where playing twenty players versus thirty bots, Misato acting as technical officer.

"Shinji, I think it's really time for you to practice with Asuka." Gendo stated.

"Heh, you just want me out of the game because I have no death and sixty kills" Shinji bragged walking towards training room with Asuka.

"Wow, I didn't think NERV would allow something like that." Asuka replied as they walked down the hall.

"Well, even we have fun you know, saving the world few times and no play makes life dull." Shinji replied. "That's why our training for today will be DDR!"

Then again, Asuka repeatedly beat Shinji. It could be because Shinji was distracted by Asuka's striking appearance. Wearing that tight dance suit and jumping around that could really distract any guy.

After few hours of Dance Dance Revolution, Misato walked in carrying a dance sheet. Set moves based on combat that she wanted them to practice.

"We'll practice it tomorrow, I'm really really tired." Shinji replied walking over to the shower, only to run out followed by scream of pervert. Over speeding Shampoo bottle hit Shinji square on the head as he slammed the door shut. "When the hell did she get in there?"

"While you where talking to me." Misato answered.

"Well.... It was worth it." Shinji replied lying down on the floor with goofy smile on his face.

Just a filler ep, battle training to defeat the angel will begin on next chapter... who knows may be I'll even have tome to get to actual fighting.
