A/N: This may be labeled as a humor story but don't expect too much funny (I can't write funny very well). It is more like light comedy mixed with some regular Evangelion. Remember OOC-ness can be contagious to other characters.

How I spent my summer as a clone
Chapter Two
"Good morning Shinji" Rei looks towards the mess of a person looking at her with horror in 'his' eyes. "Where should I begin"?
Shinji jumped up and ran to her "Aya-Ayanami what the hell is going on" Shinji started shaking her "Tell me what the fuck happened to me" His now green eyes were trembling in their sockets.
She abruptly slaps him…hard "Please control yourself Ikari" her soft voice was as calm as ever.
Shinji looked up at her still shaking but he was calming down. "What happened to me"?
"What was the last thing you remember"? She asked.
Shinji stopped and thought about it for a while. The whole time Rei was just looking at him with her usual straight face.
Shinji looked up at her "Well I remember an angel attack".
"Yes. Anything else" He looked up at the ceiling trying hard to remember.
"We were running towards Nerv. It was Asuka, you, and I. I remember explosions and then…then…I don't remember anything after that" He looked down at the ground with a sad face.
"As you probably would not since that was when you became unconscious," She told him.
"Unconscious? What exactly happen to me?" He was seriously confused and started breathing heavy.
"You…saved us," She said slowly looking into his green eyes.
"I what?" His confusion continued.
"A building collapsed above us…you pushed pilot Soryu and I out of the way of the debris" She stopped to think of what to say next "You saved our lives…at the cost…of your own".
Shinji's face contorted into a look of utter disbelief. "How could…but that cant" He started feeling light headed and held his hands up to his mouth to stop himself but he couldn't hold it in anymore. He threw up the bile that was built up in his stomach. It splattered into his hands and onto his hospital gown.
Shinji was a total mess physically and mentally. Rei walked over to a cabinet next to his hospital bed and grabbed a clean towel. She walked back to him and knelt down to his level to hand him the towel. He slowly took it from her and began wiping himself off.
"I need to take a shower" It was true. His body now reeked with the odor of sweat and vomit.
"That would be appropriate," She said. Even though she didn't show it Rei was about to gag herself.
"Son of a…" He let out a breath "I'm a girl now…no not just any girl I'm you now. How can I even think of touching your body while I take my shower" He was now pretty worried.
"But I am I and you are you" His right eyebrow rose a little "You would not be touching my body since I am here and you would be there".
"O…K" He let that sink in for a little bit. "But still how is it that I'm in a copy of you".
She stopped looking into his eyes and looked towards the window. "You may wish to sit down for this".
"I think I'll stand it can't possibly be that shocking considering I technically died earlier".
Fifteen minutes later.
Shinji was sitting on his bed with his jaw hanging staring at Rei.
"Now let me get this straight your part…"
"Yes".
"You're the clone of…"
"Correct".
"And of my…"
"Affirmative".
"She is inside the core of …"
"Hai". (Yes)
"And you were made to bring her back to my…"
"Yes".
"So by blood technically that makes you my…"
"Half sister".
"Cool" Shinji smiled "I always wanted a sister" Rei lightly blushed. She never really thought of him as a brother and always thought the feelings she had meant more along the lines of a 'lovers' relationship and not from that of a sibling. The feeling was 'comfortable' to her.
"Well Ikari…" She started telling him something but he interrupted her.
"Call me Shinji, Rei" He just figured his own sister should be able to call him by his first name.
She slightly blushed again "Well…Shinji right now we are full blooded…sisters. Twins really".
He slightly chuckled "Yeah I guess so…this is going to be weird and Asuka…oh shit Asuka what's she going to say about all of this and Misato. Oh man this is going to be torture" He wasn't sure if he would survive the teasing.
"They are not to know of this. In fact Dr. Akagi has told me she has fabricated a lie to explain to them and everybody about your absence".
"What is the lie exactly?" I would be curious too.
"I am not sure about the entire lie but to shorten it up she would have told them you are out of the country for medical treatment and will not return until you have fully recovered".
"That's nice and all but how am I to return when my body is already dead" He started getting upset again.
"It wont be after I clone it" Ritsuko came into the room after listening to their conversation.
"Dr. Akagi you can really do that?" Shinji looked at the blonde women in front of him. She had a clipboard in hand obviously with information about him.
"Of course Shinji all we need are a few of your cells and we can complete a perfect copy of the original it just takes time. Now how do you feel?"
"I feel a little fuzzy all over and slightly weightless," Ritsuko wrote down a few things.
"Well that is to be expected since that body isn't even a day old" She explained to a surprised Shinji.
"You mean this wasn't just a spare lying around like the others" The doctors' eyebrow cocked upward.
She looked up from her clipboard "And how would you have known about that miss Ikari" She cracked a smile.
"Well Rei told me everything and now…I…MISS IKARI" He stood up shocked at what the doctor had just said.
"What you thought Misato was the only person with a sense of humor. Jeez lighten up your technically a girl now anyway so that shouldn't bother you. I guess that means I got to start calling you Ayanami now. Anyway I actually figured she would tell everything to her 'sister' since you know how girls like to gossip".
"I just figured my 'Brother' had the right to know what was happening around him" Rei was getting a little defensive of her sibling.
Ritsuko was actually kind of happy. 'I know it seems like using them but maybe they could help me bring down that cheating bastard' "Well what's done is done. What do you plan to do now Shinji?"
He looked up to her "I really don't know right now I guess go home" He looked into her eyes and she grabbed his head and inspected his face.
"I thought so" She marked something else on her clip board "I had to slightly alter the DNA of your clone body to allow your soul entrance into it. Your eyes seem to be the only physical change" She marked another thing on her clipboard.
"That's good…I guess" Shinji really didn't care.
"At least your classmates will be able to tell who's who now" She smiled again.
"My what…you're letting me go to school like this…how…I mean what about…Asuka…Touji" His depression was increasing.
"Relax Shinji nobody will know and since we still need you as a pilot it is the only thing we could think of so as to not create suspicion. Just tell them your Rei's sister from out of town and you're the fourth child. Now to think of a name to call you by."
"Just when things couldn't get any worse I'm being named like an animal".
"How about…Mana" Ritsuko suggested.
"Not bad but it sounds kind of suspicious to me".
"Ok how about…Mayumi".
"Nah it sounds kind of nerdy" He shook his head.
"Reika" Rei finally spoke up.
"Sure that's not too bad. It does seems kind of common for some reason though" He shrugged.
"Ok Reika, now that you got a name we just need to falsify some information to say you've always existed and you can be on your way to school by tomorrow".
"Do you need me here for anything else doctor?" Shinji asked.
"Well no actually, you can go but just remember that you have to live at Rei's now is that clear".
"Crystal. Lets go home sister" Shinji grabbed Rei's spare uniform and her hand and they went out the door.
"Oh yeah Shinji" Ritsuko yelled.
"Yeah" He yelled back.
"You have a sync test with Unit 01 after school tomorrow like usual".
"Alright see you there Ritsu" He used the nick name he's heard Misato use before. It seems as though he is getting closer to the doctor.
Ritsuko stood there looking at the door and sighed 'Two things Shinji' she thought 'First you've been around Misato too long and second both you and your 'sister' seem to be opening up. I hate to sound rude but you dieing seems like the best thing to ever happen to you' She marked a few more things onto her clipboard and grabbed her cell phone out of her pocket. It only briefly rang.
"Speak" Gendo's cold voice came from the phone.
"It's all clear and he's heading home with Rei".
"Good. By the way what does he call himself now?"
"Reika and he didn't name himself, Rei named him.
"She did, did she" He paused for a moment "Make sure this doesn't affect my scenario doctor".
"Yes sir" She hung up the phone and placed it back into her lab coat pocket "Yeah right you bastard I'm going to personally make sure they fuck up your precious scenario so you get what you deserve" She walked outside the hospital room door and closed it.
-------------------------------------------------------
The Ayanami 'sisters' walked into their apartment and Shinji immediately started cleaning up.
"Honestly Rei how could you live here?" There were bloody bandages everywhere.
"It is acceptable" She had a straight face on as usual.
"Yeah but it's so plain and simple besides the mess".
"I believe the term is 'efficient' Ik…Shinji".
"Your getting better Rei. I'll make you into the best little sister yet" Rei blushed lightly at his comments. It'll be a while till she's fully used to him being her brother.
"You…embarrass me Shinji" She put her arms behind her back and clasped her fingers together.
"Sorry I'll stop if you want" He put is hand on her shoulder.
"No…is this not what siblings do…I believe it is called 'teasing'".
"Yeah but I'll tone it down. Hey how long have I been gone for anyway?" Shinji asked.
"About two days. The angel attacked yesterday morning and it is about 20:38 right now".
"20:38…20:38…that's 12 plus 8 and that's…8:38 pm right?"
"Incorrect Shinji".
"What but my math is perfect isn't it" He was slightly confused he thought he understood addition.
"No, it is now currently 20:39".
"…Was that a joke Rei?" He now had a straight face on.
"I believe it was brother. Why, was it not satisfactory".
"No not at all Rei" 'More like entry level' he internally thought "Hey it's a start. I'm going to go take a shower now I'll be out when…I get out".
"Yes Shinji" She grabbed a book and sat on her bed and began reading.
Shinji walked towards the bathroom from where he remembered it from the last time he was here. When he walked in on her and seen her…"Snap out of it she's your sister man. This is going to be harder then I thought. I have to clean myself but that involves touching certain parts…this sucks".
He turned on the water only to find it ice cold. He turned it onto heated water and waited five minutes for it to warm up…it didn't. "No wait this sucks" He got into the shower and immediately held onto himself "It's freaking cold in here" He found a bar of soap and started to lather it up.
'Well this isn't so bad so far' he thought 'of course I still haven't washed my…' He mentally sighed 'breasts yet or my…' "I stand corrected this sucks the most" He sighed and went about his daily shower.
After finding out just how sensitive the female body can be he got out of the shower. "God that can be more tempting then when I was a boy. How can girls handle that?" He uncomfortably dried himself off "I have got to get used to this. It is my body now" He walked out of the shower in a towel.
"Hey Rei" She was sitting on her bed still reading.
"Yes Shinji" She looked up from her book. He now had here full attention.
"I can see now why girls go shopping so much".
"Why's that?" She really didn't understand.
"Cause our school uniforms suck".
"Yes they tend to itch a little. They do 'suck' as you say".
"After school tomorrow I say we go shopping…I can't believe I'm saying that" He shuddered a little 'I'm turning into a girl more and more'.
"Very well Shinji. I believe it is time for bed now".
"Sure. Hey do you have anything to wear to bed?" he asked.
"No I do not. I sleep in the nude". She stated matter of factually.
"You know I didn't see that coming. Damn I don't have a bed do I".
"No".
"You wouldn't happen to have a spare futon would you?"
"Sorry I do not. This apartment was intended for me only".
"I'll just sleep on the ground then".
"You can sleep in the bed with me" She told him but was quickly declined.
"No it's too small. I'll just have to pick something up tomorrow. Sleep well little sister"
"Sleep well…big brother" She smiled as she said that and for once actually dreamt. What that dream was about only she knows.
Shinji on the other hand had trouble going to sleep on the hard floor.
'Here I am' he thought while Rei slept 'Buck naked with only a towel to sleep on and to cover me. The suck just keeps on going doesn't it? And what am I going to do about school tomorrow?' He sighed and then spoke "I wish I had my SDAT"
