Late night in the Katsuragi residence
Asuka and Misato were sound asleep in their rooms , Trunks had laid out his futon in Shinji's room , but was having a hard time sleeping .
Shinji who was also awake , couldn't get Trunks words out of his mind.
Shinji ? Trunks whispered silently.
Yes Trunks ?
Why aren't you asleep yet ?
I'm worried.
Worried about what ?
About this Cell guy , he was the one that destroyed your world right ?
It was androids 17 and 18 who destroyed my world. My guess is that Cell was waiting for my other self to take them out so that he had nothing to stop him.
What did he look like ?
He looked some monster made for a horror movie. He sort of looked like a humanoid cockroach with a stinger.
So he was really ugly.
Yeah , but what bothered me was how he laughed at us.
Lets talk about something else Shinji.
Why was Rei holding on to you ?
She was ? I can't remember much of how I got here.
Rei walked you here. She was holding on to your arm tightly.
Are you…..jealous?
I…..guess I am.
Why ? Do you like her ?
I don't know.
She was just walking me home because I was a wreck. Why are you jealous?
The way she was holding on to you……she said she felt….nice.
Why would she have something on me ? I hurt her……I…..tried to kill her.
She said she wanted to comfort you….you were pretty messed up.
But that doesn't explain why she was holding on to you like that.
Look , ShinjiI don't have anything on Rei , she actually sort of creeps me out a little, so you can do whatever you want with her.
Shinji starts blushing under his pillow.
I'm sorry I asked you so rudely. It's just she's the only person I feel this way with.
It's okay I understand…..I just wish I could feel this way….maybe it's a result from being half human.
Trunks….how do you make those lights.
Their called Ki energy , not lights.
What's Ki energy?
It's a persons spirit energy , every living thing has it. The more Ki energy you have ,the more powerful you are.
You mean that anyone can learn how to do it ?
Yeah , but for a human it takes many years of training to achieve it…..and still you will never reach a level of power to match that of a Saiyan.
And what's more easier to learn ?
Flying I guess.
So…..can you….
Teach you how to fly ? Sure but it won't be easy.
Thank you
Are you trying to learn this things to impress Rei by any chance ?
……
Man your love struck , I'm tired lets go to sleep already.
Yeah…..
The next morning.
Trunks is having a strange dream and is strangely chewing on his pillow.
Asuka could you wake up Trunks it's getting late.
All right Misato I'll wake up the Super kid.
Asuka enters the room to wake him up.
Hey Trunks wake up , it's time for breakfast. She whispers to him shaking him lightly.
Trunks ?
Come back noodles…..
Noodles ? she notices how he's drooling on his pillow.
HEY IDIOT WAKE UP!
She pulls his sheets out to punch him but stops.
"He's so handsome"….she whispers while looking at his bare chest.
"How much does he work out ?"
"I don't ". he says standing up and rubbing his eyes.
You heard me?
Yeah , maybe I should have let you continue , but I'm too hungry right now.
It's not what you think.
Of course it's not. rolls eyes.
Nice pajamas……would you stop looking at me please.
Misato , Asuka sure has taken a lot in waking up Trunks. Shinji says eating his breakfast.
I'll go check on them.
Misato opens the door and lets out a loud gasp.
No wonder you took so long.
Misato it's not what you think!
It's a good thing you came Misato , Asuka here was checking me out…..Misato ?
Both Asuka and Misato were looking at Trunks now with dazed off faces.
Guys , hello ? Trunks says waving his arm in front of them.
Um….I…I mean we…..lets go eat. Misato says nervously.
Rrriiight. Would you let me dress in private.
Y…Yeah…..sure….
Both of them run out the room blushing.
What were you girls doing ?
Nothing you would care about. Asuka grunts to Shinji.
I made a special breakfast today to give Trunks a good impression of my cooking.
The door bell rings suddenly. DING DONG
I'll get it . Trunks yells out .
Hey Rei . What are you doing here?
Everyone hears this and look quickly to the door.
Can I come In Trunks ?
Yeah sure were just about to have breakfast.
Everyone except Trunks is surprised that Rei came to visit them for breakfast.
Trunks sits down to eat.
Sit over there...next to Shinji. He says with food in his mouth.
Rei walks over to Asuka who is sitting next to Trunks.
Pilot Soryu…. Can you move please ? I wish to sit next to Trunks.
Shinji and Trunks choke with their food.
Uuummm….sure wondergirl.
Asuka moves over to Shinji's side and Rei sits next to Trunks.
Why did you come Rei ? Shinji asks.
I came with some news for Trunks.
What do you want to tell me ? he says calmly while chewing.
You are to go to our school until further notice.
You sure are direct in conversations...hold on a second(drinks a glass of water)All right what else ?
The commander has classified you as the sixth child.
Don't know what that means but okay. Is she always like this Shinji ?
Yes.
And this lasts news you will not like.
Okay….
There has been a sabotage on NERV headquarters.
What happened ?
Your time machine was destroyed in an explosion.
WHAT! How could this happen? He yells breaking his chopsticks.
I am sorry you have to hear this.
Everyone was a aware of his rage by now and were a little afraid that he would do something.
YOUR SORRY? What the hell were you NERV idiots doing last night?
It seems that the cameras were hacked last night by someone.
DAMN IT! This means that I'm stuck here forever.
Do you not like being here ? Rei looks sad saying this.
Yes I do , but I have no one to relate to here...I'm alone in this strange world.
Trunks suddenly senses a dramatic change in Rei's energy.
Rei ? are you okay ? Shinji asks Rei concerned.
(Shinji could tell Rei was in pain ? But he can't sense Ki ? She didn't even flinch.He must know Rei better than anyone.)He looks at Shinji surprised.
I am okay Ikari.
Are you sure ?
Yes I am all right.
Rei if there's anything bothering you , you can tell me...
Hey you cuddlebugs we're going to be late for school. Asuka yells looking at the clock.
Rei walks out first silently as always. Asuka and Shinji follow her puzzled. Trunks is about to fly out the balcony when Misato calls him suddenly.
No flying, Trunks your going to walk to school , and no funny stuff either.
Oh okay, but it takes so much longer to walk.
Well at least this way you get to see the city closer. And you can get to know the others more.
I guess.
Good luck in your first day.
See you later Misato . Shinji waves to her.
The walk to school was silent with Rei walking up front.
Shinji what is up with Rei ? Is she always this depressing ?
Yes , she never talks to anyone at school, except to me and Asuka to tell us to go to a synch test or something.
Then why was she insisting in sitting next to me ?
I don't know , I've never seen her act that way.
I just hope she doesn't do anything she might regret.
Hey ! I won't do anything with her so stop harassing me Shinji.
What are you two idiots whispering about ? Asuka appears behind them making them both jump.
Shinji here is worried I'll steal his girl.
That's not true ! I'm just worried of her well being . Shinji yells blushing.
Of course you are , you wouldn't want her in bad condition for bed. Trunks chuckles.
You do know she's watching you guys right . Asuka interrupts pointing at Rei who was watching from the corner of her shoulder.
Shinji and Trunks stop their conversation embarrassed and continue to walk to school in silence.
They arrive at the classroom in time to sit down.
Okay students , today we have a new student , his name is Trunks, lets welcome him to our class.
Asuka and Shinji sit down on their seats quickly. Rei was already on her seat looking out the window.
Trunks enters the classroom and introduces himself.
Hello my name is Trunks, I'll beyour classmate for now on.
Very well Trunks, take a seat with the rest of the class.
Trunks was wearing one of Shinji's clothes, but since he was bigger than Shinji, his sleeves were above his biceps.
Some of the girls were drooling over Trunks , while some of the girls were whispering and giggling.Trunks walked to the only empy seat wich was behind Rei.
When he sat down in his seat someone whistled to him.
Hey Shinji , Asuka , Rei , I didn't know we were in the same class. He waved to Shinji and Asuka, they waved back , and then waved to Rei who didn't even look at him.
(I'ts true what Shinji says then) He thought.
Stand , bow , sit.
Toji moves over to Shinji and starts whispering something to him."Hey Shinji you know this guy ?"
Yeah he's a pilot , he's living in our apartment for now.
How does he know Rei ? He just got here .
Rei was the one who brought him to NERV. He lied
Really, Rei did that ? Are they dating or something?
No their not dating .Trunks told me he doesn't have anything on Rei . Rei however seems to be getting close to him...this morning she came to our apartment and insisted on sitting next to him.
So Rei has a cruch on him?
That's what it seems to be.
You have to do something before you lose her man.
She will never go for me...
Mr . Ikari and Mr . Suzuhara do you have something to share with the rest of the class ?
No Sensei.Toji says going back to his seat.
Trunks was nervous as a saiyan could be , he suspected that Rei had something on him , and now he had to sit behind her , and since she was always looking out the window , all she had to do to eye him was look to the left.
( This isn't helping , she could look at me anytime she wants in the way she's sitting.)Trunks thought looking at Rei indirectly.( I just hope that Shinji isn't bothered by this)
After A long lecture about Second Impact, Trunks is getting more nervous by the second.
(This is to much ,I can't even look at her without having a breakdown...Oh crap! that's how a lovesick school girl thinks like!)Trunks begins to shake in his seat realizing what he had thought.
Rei notices how Trunks is shaking in his seat." Trunks are you all right ?" She whispers to him looking at him directly.
(She's talking to me , and she's looking right at me...those eyes...What am I thinking? I can't be...)
Trunks did you hear me ?Are you sick ?
I...uuh...No Rei I'm not sick .It's just that I've never been to school before.
That is no reason to shake like that everytime you look at me.
( Those eyes...what is about those eyes that make me act like this ? )
Rei resumes to look out the window, Trunks gets somewhat dissapointed.
( She is so beautiful...No! I can't be feeling for her this way! I just met her.)
Trunks was pressuring his desk with his fists until...
Trunks fell down on the floor in a loud crash as his desk had broken from the pressure . Everyone looked at Trunks fists wich had large chunks of wood on them.
Mr . uumm, Trunks , are you all right ? The Sensei runs over to Trunks to help him up.
Yes Sensei I broke my chair by mistake... I'll just sit on the floor in the back. Trunks walks over to the back of the class and sits on the floor indian style.
Uuumm...okay Mr. Trunks , if you wich. The Sensei returns to his desk.
(That idiot he's going to get found out if he doesn't control himself) Asuka thought.
Trunks looks at Rei from the corner of the room and smiles lightly.( She's so beautiful)
Rei's eyes suddenly widen hearing Trunks voice in her head( She's so beautiful)
Rei looks back at Trunks with a surprised look on her face.
( Oh no! I accidently talked to her mind! She heard me!) He thinks looking at how Rei glanced at him.
(He spoke to me telepathically ! He thinks I'm beautiful? He must have spoke to me by mistake.)Rei gives a small smile to Trunks and continues to look out the window.
( What did she mean by that smile? She heard me and then smiled? Those that mean that my suspcions are correct?)
Asuka sees how Rei smiles at Trunks and gasps( What the hell is happening? Why is wondergirl smiling at Trunks?)
In the most unexpected moment the alarms rose signaling an Angel attack
