Philippines

Shinji's eyes opened and he was quickly aware of the numbing in his arms. He looked down and sighed, there just like what he thought he dreamt last night was the two girls in his life who is currently making living a very complicated thing. Though he also can't deny being happy after seeing Asuka and Rei sleeping together rather harmoniously.

"The forbidden union of Fire and Ice," Shinji shook his head as he tried to slip away without waking the two girls, "Boy what a day."

He succeeded and walked into the restroom. He turned the faucet on and watched as the crusted blood on his face washed away into the drain. He dried himself and was rather curios at the sound of his name being called.

"Shin-chan," Rei and Asuka called out, "Come here for a minute."
He approached the bed and was immediately pulled in by the two girls.

"Hey!" Shinji said as he struggled futilely, "Wait a minute."

"You forgot to give me my morning kiss Baka," Asuka said as she straddled him and closed in for the kiss.

"Good morning Shin-chan," Rei said as he kissed Shinji in his lips rather quickly, but it was more like a 'peck'.

"Hey! How dare you do it first Wonder girl?"

"You are too slow Soryu," Rei said as she puts Shinji's head in his lap, "That is why I took the initiative to be the first one to greet Shinji."

The door opened and in came Misato, "Good Morning guys and… what the hell are you doing to Shinji? COMMANDER!!!"

She ran out the door and bumped into the corner at the Commander who looks a bit disheveled and all.

"Commander!" Misato said, "What happened to you?"
Gendo swayed, "Had too much to drink last night my head hurts. Where's Ritsuko?"

"No time for that Commander, follow me it's about our Pilots."
"What about them?" Gendo yawned and scratched his head, "They didn't do anything right?"

"Nothing Commander… it's just… remember about the liabilities of having a pregnant Pilot?"

Realizing what Misato meant Gendo immediately straightened up his hangover now long gone, "Holy shit… where are they?"

"In their room sir," she said and immediately followed Gendo's lead.

"What the hell is going on here?" Gendo said as he stormed Shinji's room with Misato.

"Father it's not what you think," he quickly denied and crossed his arms in defense.

Gendo strode over to the bed and examined it; he found blotches of blood and screamed.

"OH NO!" 'OH YES! I was beginning to believe he was gay.'

The commander walked over to Soryu and spreads her evening gown; there was some blood on it.

"Listen father… "

"Shut up boy, Come here Rei!"

Rei approached the Commander and he spreads her white evening gown. There were also blotched of blood on it.

'Score! … Gendo that's not the time to think about that.', "Shinji explain yourself."

"Father, nothing happened."

"Prove it to me," Gendo said as he sat on the bed and lift up the sheets for him to see, "There are blood on both the bed sheets and their night gowns. Tell me nothing happened." 'I'm really enjoying this right now.'

"Well it was like this; I came back to my room from the beach and headed for my room. There I heard Rei call me so I turned around, after I turned well… umm… my nose exploded," sensing he hadn't convinced Gendo continued, "Exploded in blood I mean, then after that I heard Asuka called me and uhh… my nose exploded again and I fainted."

Gendo leered at him and spoke, "Very well, it seems nothing really happened. I will let it slip," he slipped into his cheery self again, "Now why don't we all get some grubs to eat?"

Nodding their heads the other occupants followed. Just then Rei and Asuka stopped, "We're not dressed yet." The 3rd Child agreed and they were left alone once again. "Hey Shinji," Asuka said slightly sliding her nightgown off her shoulder, "Could you help me dress?"

He didn't answer, he stared blankly at them and headed for the bathroom again, "Why me?" Meanwhile Asuka and Rei sighed too behind each other, "Why does he have to be so shy?"

The Bureaucrap

Christine began to stir some eggs into a bowl and poured it into a frying pan. With a smiling face she opened her window above their restaurant. Their crew was just coming in and she could see a couple of tourist flocking towards their restaurant. "Hmm, I wonder if he will come here and eat?" she blushed as she imagined Shinji, "He is kind of cute, and he's really nice."

A/N: Please read PS at the Author's note at the end of the fic.

Heading out in the main hall she spots Shinji and his group just coming in from the hotel. She also noticed the two girls obviously having a tug of war on his arms. "So Shinji has girlfriends? Oh well, I guess being famous really has its perks." Slipping into the kitchen she droned an apron and began cooking. A big fat man came up behind her, "So Christine, your helping out today at the restaurant?"

Christine smiled at the man, "Of course father, this is ours anyway." Her father smiled back at her and kissed her forehead, "Well that's very nice of you my child. But we are a little short on waiters today, so you think you could take over the floor now?" Christine looked at her father, "You mean I get to be manager again?"

"Well not entirely, you get to be head waitress again," his father said cheerfully. The girl nodded and headed outside. She scanned for some new customers and found none except.

Gendo waved in the air to summon the black haired brown-eyed girl who was reluctant to look at them. Christine looked around to find someone that can substitute for her in taking the order, but finding none shook her head picked a pen up and headed for the table. 'I can't believe I'm doing this.'

"Sit closer to me Shinji," Asuka demanded.

"No he should sit more to me," Rei countered, "I can give him more attention than you can."

"What? All you're going to feed him is just all vegetables, he needs meat Wondergirl."

"But what is wrong on being a vegetarian? There is nothing wrong on eating too many vegetables."

"Nothing?! Nothing?! Hah! Look at you; you're paler than a geisha."

"Geishas technically wear thick make-up," Shinji barged in, "To more like impress their masters."

Hearing this Asuka leaned closer to Shinji, "So you wouldn't mind if I wear thick make-up and be your geisha forever Shinji-sama."

Everyone that was chatting at their table stopped abruptly and looked at the quarreling two. Even Gendo looked at them and grinned without hiding it. Seeing Shinji blush erupted a whole lot of teasing and coos.

"Ha! The Devil has struck!"
Hikari elbowed Toji, "Stop that, I think they look cute together."
"Well upon counting it, I have about thirty shots where Shinji was blushing," Kensuke now turning his camcorder off.

"Are you some kind of stalker Kensuke?" Toji backed away.

"Not really, it's just for memories sake."

Toji leered, "Kensuke my friend, just tell me when you will come out of the closet."

Shinji snickered while Asuka smugly grinned, "You know there has been rumors that Kensuke is just befriending you two so he can sneak a peek at your wieners."

The 3rd Child looked at Kensuke suspiciously and shivered. Seeing discomfort Rei hugged him obviously irritating Asuka, 'Score one for me Rei Ayanami, Blue-haired girls rule!'

Toji stared wide-eyed at Kensuke, "I knew it! That's why you're always hanging out with me."
Kensuke face-faulted, "Will you please stop teasing me… "

"Good morning."

All eyes turned at the new speaker. "Hey your Shinji's new chic," Toji said as he pointed at the girl known as Christine.
Threatening blue and red eyes immediately locked on at Shinji who immediately sighed and looked down. Turning their eyes at Christine, Asuka and Rei were burning holes on her face with their stare.

'Competition. Again?' Asuka shot Christine lightning before looking at Shinji's face again.

'Must alert Section-02. Eliminate threat and go for the target.' Rei thought as she gripped Shinji's hands tighter.

The Commander ordered while Kaji decided to talk to the Three Stooges, "Hey you three want to hit the surf later?"

"Surfing? Why not!" Shigeru said excitedly.

"Well I guess that's not so bad, I did surf before at Okinawa," Toji commented.

"I'll just watch from the sidelines and tape all of it," Kensuke said taking out his camcorder again.

"What about you Shinji?" Asuka said, "Don't you want to surf?"

The boy looked down and blushed, "Well… you see… I can't really swim that well." Upon saying it Rei's face came in front of his, "Very well Shin-chan, I shall teach you."

"You? Why should you teach him?! I should be doing that!"

Before another quarrel broke out their orders came up and they dig in to their food. With Shinji of course receiving nourishment from the two girls, Gendo still hasn't taken his eyes off his son. 'This is getting more interesting. I think he should learn to have it tonight.'

With another hidden smile Gendo dig into his own food. However that sinister smile didn't escaped Ritsuko's eyes, 'He's planning something tonight. I wonder what it is?"
After eating the adults talked business while the teens grabbed some dessert.

"So Shinji, what shall we do today?" Toji asked shoving a spoonful of ice cream in his wide open trap.

"Hey, I think scuba diving is fun to do," Hikari piped in but turned as Toji grabbed her arm, "What's wrong Toji?"

The jock was beating his head as his mouthful of ice cream dripped from the side of his lips, "Brain freeze. OW!"

Coming to his aide Hikari rubbed his back, meanwhile Christine caught Shinji's eyes and signaled him to come. Excusing himself he heads for the bathroom.

"Umm… excuse me," he said prying Asuka and Rei's arms from him, "I'm going to the bathroom."

"I'll come with you," both girls said at once which earned a stare from the others.
He blushed as things entered his mind, "Umm… I can do this on my own. Really I can, just… just let go ok?"

Both girls nodded as Shinji headed for the back. He then saw Christine waved at him and he followed her upstairs past the 'No Admittance Personnel Only' sign. She called out to him and nodded to follow her. Slipping into Christine's living room the 3rd Child now had the chance to relax.

"Well Shinji I didn't expect you to be such a playboy," she said with a hint of disappointment in it, "Funny, since that was expected since you were very famous."

Shinji's face went blank, "Umm… may I correct that statement? You see technically… how am I going to put it?"

Christine shook her head, "You don't need to lie Shinji. You can tell me excuses, probably the most absurd one might be that they bet that one of them can be your girlfriend in a week and you'll be the prize," she laughed a little, "That would be the lamest excuse for that."

Shinji looked down and looked at her knowingly, meeting his gaze with her own Christine's smile faded. "You mean… what I say is true? They bet on you?"
The 3rd Child nodded, "Yeah, and I still have a couple of days more before all of this stops."

Christine smiled again, "So that means… you don't officially have a girlfriend?"
He shook his head, "Unfortunately no, I don't have one. But I do have friends and you see all the people downstairs with me?"

The girl nodded. "That's about it when it comes to friends." Christine counted on her fingers and, "You mean those 13 people are your only friends?"
"Well I do mean it, they say I'm a snob and very quite," he leaned on the chair he was sitting on; "I think they're right."

Silence reigned until Shinji stood up to leave, "Hey where are you going?"

"I have to get back, those two might get worried and find me here," he chuckled a bit, "You don't want to face those two when they're pissed." 'I shouldn't tell Asuka about this, she might flatten this house with her Eva.'
"Umm… maybe we can see each other later?"

"Oh, well… we're going to go scuba diving. Want to come with us?"

Christine nodded, "I will gladly come, when will you be leaving?"

"Maybe after this," Shinji walked over to the door, "So I should get going now."

"Yes maybe you should," letting Shinji leave and Christine dressing up to come with him.

Shinji walked casually as he went back to the table. Toji and Kensuke gave him a forlorn look as he sat down.

"Shinji," Asuka started, "Why did you come with that girl we saw earlier?"

'Oh shoot! They saw me,' Shinji paled, "Well you see… I kind of invited her… "

"Shinji, why are you associating yourself with a total stranger," Rei asked inquisitively, "Would you rather have a stranger beside you than in my presence?"

"No Rei you don't understand," Shinji said apologetically, "What I mean to say is… "

"Baka! Why her? What about me? I'm important too right?" Asuka said with moistness in her eyes, 'Hehehe, take that Ice Queen Rei no Baka. Tears on my eyes hehehe. I am a bad girl.'

Not knowing what to do Shinji came over to Asuka side to comfort her. Rei looked at Asuka as the redheaded girl smiled slyly at Rei.

'Shinji has fallen prey for her, Pilot Soryu is mocking me… that bitch.'

'In your face emotions Rei.'

'What did I do to deserve this anyway?'

MATI SCUBA DIVE AND INSTRUCTIONS

The Children with Christine walked over to the counter to pay for the equipment they will use.

'I can't believe Shinji allowed her to come with us? Rei is already in the way and this whore comes along too! How can I have him to myself then?'

'This Christine is threatening me and my assurance to win Ikari-kun. She must be eliminated.'

'Why are these two girls looking at me like that? God, that one looks like she wants to skin me alive?'

Seeing sparks flying Shinji came in between the fighting girls, "Going now is a really good idea?" 'Making Christine come might not be a really good thing right now. You think Shinji? She's here already.'

They came over a boat and they all boarded, Christine talked to the Pilot of the small craft while Kensuke took the scene. Shinji and his two goddesses were on one side and was completely squeezing the blood out of his arms.

"OI! Shin-man," Toji called out, "You should lay off on your playboy stuff."

Shinji blushed at Toji's remark and as Christine stared at him. The two girls shot the Filipina girl a look and snorted at Shinji. "SHINJI…" He sighed as the two girls hugged him tighter and glared at Christine the rest of the way. They reached their destination at the Coral Garden Island. Meanwhile at the Commander's place of being.

Gendo Ikari, one of the most feared men on Earth sat on a beach and was wearing a blue swimming trunk with a printed red leaf on it. He was sunbathing and suddenly two women in bathing suit came over to him.

"Hi," one blonde woman said, "Could you apply sun tan lotion for me?"

"And if you're done with that," another woman said, "You could come to this room."

Gendo smiled as he took the piece of paper and stood up to come with the women. 'Gendo you have done it again.' Meanwhile in a far and good vantage point, one woman who also has false blonde hair was glowing red in her enraged state.

Doctor Ritsuko Akagi sat on her hotel room with a binocular pointed on the beach below and was focused on the trunk clad Commander. 'Gendo you little bitch. I'm going to get you later, hey where's my whip anyway? And uhh… my handcuffs?'

Leaving the two behind we came upon our Children.

"Do you have an underwater camera mount?" Kensuke asked.

The pilot of the boat nodded and got it from inside. Toji was assisting Hikari on her gear with a real red blush on his face. The two girls were exceptionally focused on Shinji who was putting his equipment in disarray.

"Rei! You're doing it the wrong way!" Asuka said annoyingly, "Take of his clothes before you can make him wear the swim suit."

The blue-haired girl shook her head, "If you really wish to see his 'boner' you will have to wait until tonight in the privacy of our room."

Shinji blushed, "Rei, don't be so tactful."

Seizing her chance Christine walked over to him and dragged him away to help him dress up. "Shh… Shinji you can't get dressed while those two were bickering now could you?" Nodding his head he followed and got his wetsuit with him.

"I told you Wondergirl, I'll help him," Asuka demanded.

"If you're so keen on helping him then why don't we ask his opinion on whom he will choose," the two girls turned and found he's not there where they left him, "Shinji?"

"Thank you Christine," they heard as Christine zipped up Shinji's wetsuit. Putting some of his diving gear on, he walked over to Kensuke to help him with his. Shooting her an evil glare the two walked over to her and dragged her at the back of the boat.

"Listen here," Asuka said making Christine face her, "What the hell are you doing here you… you Affenschwanz?"
"I agree, why are you so persistent on getting close to Shinji?" Rei though unnatural for her also frowned and sparks flew from her red eyes, "Are you some kind of slut?"

With wide-eyes Asuka turned at Rei, 'Did Wondergirl just become bitchy?'

Snapping out of it she continued her tirade, "Listen if you know what's good for you, you'll back off you hear me?"

Christine shook her head and grinned, "Last time I checked Shinji doesn't have a girlfriend."
"Grr… how dare you! You're calling him on a first name basis!" Asuka fists had a protruding vein.

"What's the problem with that?" she leered at them, "Well this might be the reason why Shinji can't decide between you two."
"Shut up," Asuka frowned at her, "How dare you teach me? Why I ought to… "
"You ought to what?" Christine bluffed her eyes meeting Asuka, "You're going to hit me? What about it little girl?"

( A.N. Well most readers will know the effect when Asuka was called a little girl right? Well, that's exactly what happened.) The redheaded German jumped, tackled, and saddled the black-haired girl. Trading slaps and scratches with each other, Rei merely observed and cheered Asuka in her thought, 'Go Pilot Soryu, get that bitch! Huh! I am… losing control again… I love losing control at this time.'

With the commotion still escalating the others were unaware that there was a catfight in the back.

"Could you zip me up please?" Kensuke said and turned around from Shinji imitating someone with a nightgown.
His friend grinned, "You know, even if you're really a gay it won't bother us."
"Yeah!" Toji called as he zipped Hikari up, "Is it a nice fit Inchou? Anyway with all this… hey you hear something."

"I'm going to tear you to pieces you little bitch!"

"It's coming from the back," Shinji said inquisitively and saw a flash of red and black hair tumbling in circles and slapping noises. "Holy! They're fighting!"
"CATFIGHT!" Toji yelled.

"Oh my god… is Asuka all right?"
"This I got to see," Kensuke said as he took out his camera. They headed for the back and saw the two girls with scratches and bruises. With a strength born from panic, Shinji managed to dislodge Asuka from Christine. The redheaded girl merely stood up and brushed herself off, 'Payback's a bitch Christine, who's dominant now and… Huh!'

Her face contorted as she saw Shinji comforting and fixing up Christine. 'Why that whore, she's playing the sick puppy routine.' With that done he stood up and grabbed Asuka's arm, "Why do you have to do that Asuka? She's my friend?"

She stood there shock, her arms hurting because he was squeezing it rather tightly, "Why… well… I mean… who… why…?"

"Why Asuka?" he asked again.

Frowning and shaking a bit from frustration, "So that's it. You take her side? FINE!"

Snatching her hand away she faced Shinji again and...

SLAP!

The 3rd Child reared back he saw Asuka's face was into tears and her body shook in controlled rage, "FINE! Who needs you!?! Wondergirl can have you and that… that whore!"
She walked over to one side and took off her clothes down to her undies. Without shame and with anger and frustration over her she really didn't care. She just wants the vacation to end there and that. The others looked on surprised at her own actions and Shinji felt remorse and pity ebbing in.

"Listen… what I mean to say is… " Shinji said apologetically as he puts his hands on one of her shoulder.

She slapped the hand away and silent tears were still streaming down her face. Even Rei looked concerned at Asuka. "Asuka… I'm sorry and … "
SLAP!

Two red hand prints now clearly reddened was printed on both his cheeks, "I don't want to hear you, let's just get in the water and get this over with."

Her voice was bland, unemotional and had an ordering manner in it. She did a 'rear back entry' and waded a bit farther from the boat. The other Children nodded and immediately got their own backpacks. Christine felt the atmosphere go down and became heavy, with a look of confusion at Toji and an uneasy stare at Kensuke she also got ready and dived in the water.

All seven Children worked their way underwater and swam around in small circles. They communicated underwater by using writing equipment and by light signals. Seeing that Asuka was alone Shinji tried to swam over her but was stopped by Hikari. She wrote something on her pad and showed it to Shinji.

"I'll handle this."

With a quick wading Hikari swam over to Asuka and tapped her shoulder. She can see through the goggles the Asuka was still crying and the Class Rep managed a hug through her equipment. Meanwhile now that Toji was alone Kensuke and him decided to do some underwater wrestling. Rei was floating unnoticed and was observing all the activities of her companions.

Hikari handling the situation on Asuka, Shinji swam over to Christine. The black haired girl turned as Shinji stirred the water beside her. Writing something down she showed it to him.

"I'm really sorry on how this turned out; I don't know how to say it."
He replied and wrote something down, "Well it's really hard to satisfy her."

"I know, I'll arrange a private dinner for you two," she wrote immediately.

"You'd do that?" he asked and followed a little later, "Why are you doing this?"
The answer came quickly, "I saw through her, she's not really tough. And besides she really, really likes you."

"How the hell did you know that?"
Christine smiled, "It's a girl thing Shinji."

With a mind set Shinji swam a bit close to Asuka and lets his writing pad drift over to her. She saw it and looked at curiously. She took it and read the carefully written kanji. I don't know how he managed to write good kanji without a table.

"I'M REALLY SORRY, LET ME MAKE IT UP PLEASE, OH PLEASE LET ME."

Turning around she saw Shinji floating nearby, she swam over and took hold of his goggles. She yanked and salty water filled the empty gap, she lets it go and a SLAP resonated.

The dive ended and all the Children looked happy, even with the scene earlier. Scuba diving was undeniably one of Asuka's favorite and made her a bit calmer this time. Except Shinji who had an unmistakable print of a goggle on his face.

Toji shook his head, "It looks bad, really bad."

The two Stooges were with Shinji and was holding an icepack from their cooler, "God Shinji, I think it broke the skin."

Hearing words that Shinji was hurt, Asuka frowned on what she had done. Sensing her discomfort Rei walked over to her and spoke. "It is said that a man is so dense sometimes."

The 2nd Child chuckled, "You're talking to me. God, it's going to snow here."

They all headed back with the other two Stooges assisting in the swollen face of Shinji. With Toji and Kensuke taking turns in holding the ice pack while Moe or Shinji applied some anti-inflammatory ointment. Christine walked over to him and also assisted, this earned a gnashing of teeth from our fiery redhead.

"Be calm Asuka," Hikari ordered, "It's not the time ok… "

It was past lunch when they got back and there is still the visible pattern of a goggle on Shinji's face. They all headed for their rooms, except Shinji who headed for the beach and sat under one of the planted trees. He watched the vastness of the sea; he closed his eyes and almost fell asleep.

Someone sitting close to him disturbed his reverie. When he opened his eyes he saw his father's face also looking at the vastness of the sea.

"Father…?"

"Shinji," his father spoke in his low gruff voice.

The 3rd Child stopped; this was his father calling him. How in the world is he going to respond? Sure he has a father, but his father never acted fatherly towards him. But in his astonishment and surprise his father spoke in a lighter voice. A deep baritone in which in a couple of years the same voice he will be using when addressing someone.

"How's school Shinji?"

He sweat-dropped, 'Why is father asking me about school. Hell at least he's talking to me.'

"It's…fine."

Gendo nodded, "You know your mother once said, "That the Angels were as numerous as the sands in the sea."

The younger Ikari chuckled, "That means I have to keep fighting err… piloting till the rest of my life."

"No," his father frowned, "It was just a quote, and don't you know how to distinguish a quote from a joke?"

"Were you telling a joke father?" the son said, "How was I supposed to know that. I'm not used to you talking me like this ok."
"Well I guess it makes sense," the older Ikari considered it, "Shinji, do you want to know what happened to your mother?"

Father and son met gazes, the father with a steady powerful and assuring stare. And the son with the questioning look, like why is the sun shining. Shinji nodded and Gendo grinned, "Ever hit the bottles Shinji?"

"Bottles?"

In the distance Asuka looked on, "What the hell are those two laughing about?" Shaking it off, she headed for the hotel room for some room service.

The two Ikaris stood up and headed for the hotel, they ended up in front of a bar. The barman gave a bottle of brandy and they seated themselves on two large chairs facing each other. Gendo took a shot glass and filled it with ice and the colored alcohol, "Father… I can't drink… I'm underage."

"Nonsense," his father insisted, "Its time for your initiation."

Gendo nodded and Shinji gulped the liquid down. The alcohol burned his throat and he gagged as the liquid had trickled down to his chest.

"Oh my god…" he gasped as the alcohol made its way to his belly, "That was so rough… Ack! It's hot!"

The Commander started his story, "As you know, your mother and I were Commanders of Gehrin before NERV was established. The last time your mother took you to the base was also the last time your mother you saw your mother alive."

"You and mother were Commanders of Gehrin," he stared at Gendo questioningly, "What's Gehrin anyway?"

Gendo sweat-dropped, "Didn't I just tell you that Gehrin was the organization before NERV? And I thought you knew that Yui and I were officials of Gehrin? You were five then right?"

Shinji also sweat-dropped, "I didn't catch it, anyway I was only three then when mother died I think. And how am I supposed to know that you and mother were officials, I was three years old then."
The alcohol was taking effect and the two were making ranting noise all around. Surprisingly Shinji didn't felt the effect of the alcohol, maybe because he was also drinking something Gendo was brewing. It consisted of tonic, egg and water.

"So father tell me," he said through slurred speech, "Just what is Rei to you?"
Gendo chuckled, "Hmm, you think I will tell you huh? I wouldn't tell you anything of that matter, I maybe drunk but I won't tell you that Rei is intended to be my other child."

"What? You just said it," Shinji chuckled, "So sister is Rei, I mean Rei is (hic) my Sister? Wow! And I was beginning to like her (HIC)."

"YEP! I once liked the name Rei for when Yui was pregnant she said that I could choose the name of our eldest child. Well I chose Shinji for a boy and Rei for a girl; well you can see how it turned out right (HIC)."

The Commander and his son talked more things and finished drinking at exactly 12 midnight. Apparently there was so much to talk and catch about that they scheduled another session tomorrow. With Gendo escorting Shinji in the toilet once to 'sing' URKHHHHH in front of the toilet, he dragged his son and knock on his hotel room's door.

"Open up!" he shouted as Shinji limped on his shoulders.

The door bursts open and it was Asuka, she reared back and saw the Commander swagger inside and flopped Shinji on the bed. The Commander faced Asuka and Rei, "Now I want to make this clear! Be gentle on my son ok? See you HIC tomorrow."

Still swaying back and forth the Commander made it outside and slammed the door unintentionally. He staggered and fell face first onto the floor, one false blonde saw him and dragged him to her room. "Payback will be a bitch Gendo," Ritsuko said as she closed the door behind her.

Meanwhile at Shinji's room, Asuka took the roll of taking off his shirt which earned a rather bold comment from Shinji, "Honey baby, you're so persistent. I'm tired from last time." With his shirt gone she debated if she will go on the shorts. She was about to reach for the latch when Rei took hold of it and opened it, yanking it down Rei neatly folded his clothes and got him a new underwear.

Asuka gasped as Rei slid down his underwear, "Rei what are you DOING!?!"

"What does it look like?" the blue-haired girl said, "Is it not proper to change clothing before sleeping?"

"But Rei, oh my gosh… " apparently she got a glimpse of 'it' and her face grew hot, "… but your so… damn casual about this."

"There is nothing wrong with this," Rei said, "It's like undressing a baby, and I must admit I was curious about his capacity."

Asuka shivered and blushed harder as Rei playfully threw Shinji's 'wafting' boxers at Asuka, "EEK! Get it away from me!"

"Don't be like that," Rei said and turned to fix him on the bed, "I wonder if he will remember this tomorrow."

With Shinji sleeping soundly Rei cuddled up to him and kissed him with a peck on the cheek, reluctantly Asuka picked the boxers Rei threw at her and puts it in the dirty laundry bag. She then joined the other two in the sheets.

Finding the two evenly breathing she cuddled close to him and spoke in a hush voice, "I'm not mad at you Shinji."

She kissed him and tasted the brandy flavor that still lingers on his lips, he moaned happily and smiled noticeably. She also smiled and cuddled closer to him.
