Chapter 13: Nice To Meet You

NERV

"Shinji! Asuka! Come meet your new co-pilot!" Ritsuko's voice rang throughout the station.

"We're coming, keep your head on!" Asuka was NOT happy about this. She didn't want me to be in another room with another girl, but it couldn't be helped, it was either this, or we BOTH go back to live with Misato.

"Shinji, Asuka, I'd like you to meet the newest addition to NERV, Sammy… uh… how do you pronounce your name again?" To think a doctor can't pronounce a, American name.

"My name's Sammy Simmons, nice to meet you!" What the hell was that?

"Whoa! Look, you're in Japan now, so speak the language! Now, repeat yourself, this time in a tongue we understand!" Asuka was raging again, great first impression.

"Oh, sorry. My name is Sammy Simmons, but you can call me Sam. It's nice to meet you!" This new pilot was actually bearable. I was expecting a demon spawn. Instead, I find this long-brown haired, tall American. I could get used to this…

"Sam, I'll show you to your room, oh yeah, this is your roommate, Shinji Ikari." The look on the new pilots face was priceless.

"Please tell me the red-headed one is Shinji," yeah right, you'd be dead already.

"Sorry, but because of… personal issues, Shinji – this one – will be your roommate. Trust me, nothing will happen, he's a very nice young man. Plus, he's tak…" Asuka glared at her.

"Okay… if you say so. Shinji, you want to show me to my room?" Apparently, she said that with too much of a 'flirtatious' tone to it, because Asuka blew.

"Okay hure, I'll set something straight with you right now; Shinji is taken, and if I find that you lay one finger on him," I thought she looked at me for this part, "I'll kill you." Needless to say, Sam was shocked. To avoid any more fights, I guide Sam to her room.

"Okay, this is it. Hope you like it." I say to her as she stepped inside. I've only been living in this room for an hour now, but I already knew everything about it. It looked exactly like Asuka's room, down to the types of sheets they had on the bed.

"Wow! It's so big! It's like a hotel suit! I get to live here?" sure is hyper, huh?

"Uh… well, yeah. I'll be in here too though, so it will actually seem cramped." She still was not too fond of living with a boy.

"Shinji, one quick question though… where do I get dressed? This is just one big room, so… what?" I was laughing. I had forgotten about that, me and Asuka had pretty much not cared about it.

"Sorry, but see that closet over there? Half of it is yours, so when you're getting changed, just don't turn around. I'll do the same," to an extent, the look on her face was funny.

"Oh, hell no! I am NOT getting dressed in front of a guy!" I had no idea what she said, but I could tell it wasn't good.

"Look, you want some reassurance? If that girl you saw, Asuka, ever saw me peek, I'd be dead," I failed to tell her about the camera set up above the door. This did seem to calm her, though.

"Oh… well okay. If SHE'S got you in check, I'll be fine. So, when do we get to

eat?" why hasn't the doctor fed her yet?

"Well, you have two options, you cal stay here with me and eat the lunch I'm about to make, or you can go to the cafeteria. I think they're serving meat surprise today…" this was an easy choice.

"I'll stay, so, what are you cooking?" truthfully, I didn't know. I was just going to play my hand and see what I got.

"Not too sure, how about some club sandwiches?" like hell if I knew what they were, but I heard that they are popular in America.

"Okay, you need any help?" she's pretty nice.

"No, I'll be right back though, I need to get some ingredients from Asuka's room." NERV failed to stock her room with any cooking supplies. I made the food for me, Asuka, and Sam and I think they liked it… not too sure though. We had a sync test today, and we needed to get going.

"A sync… test? What the hell is a sync test?" groaned Sam, had she not done one before?

"You don't know? Okay, look, you know that big thing you pilot? That's called an Eva, and to make sure you're good enough to pilot it, you have to do a sync test. Just try not to fall asleep." She was right, those were so boring, you just sit in the entry plug for an hour, no talking allowed.

"Well actually… I've never really piloted one. I've been inside of one, and I can control it, but I've never been on the surface walking around in it." Was she serious?

"You're kidding me! Billions of dollars has gone into making Eva and you can't even use it? What the hell?" Asuka really does not like this girl.

"Excuse me for interrupting, but you kids need to get into your Evas now." It was the doctor. We did as we were told and got inside.

"How are the scores coming?" I heard Misato ask. I hope she didn't know about yesterday…

"Lets see, Asuka has a 89 sync, Shinji has a 93, and Sam has a… this can't be right… she has a 99!" Evas are piloted by how your state of mind is, so me and Asuka have good reason to have high scores, but 99?

"No way!" blurted Asuka, "How is this possible?" she was just so used to me being the best, she didn't want to be last.

"Sam? Are you okay? Your heart rate is 165, what's happening?" all of these scores are wrong. I look over at her on my comm. screen and she that she's turning blue.

"Whoa, Sam! Breath! You can breath in here!" How did she not know about LCL? It's basically liquid you can breath, but it's standard for Evas.

"What the hell are you doing to me!" she complained… I think.

"Sorry, we forgot to tell you about the LCL." Ritsuko said.

"What, haven't you ever been in an entry plug?" Asuka seemed to be getting warmer towards her.

"Asuka, Sam pilots an experimental Eva that has actual air, not LCL," well that explains Sam almost suffocating.

"Damnit! Next time will you tell me these things? I kind of need to know! When is MY Eva getting here?" this was the first sign of anger that she has showed. Gotta watch out for that, she's like a bomb!

"Sorry, and Unit 05 will be getting here tomorrow. It's being transported by a boat, so you'll have to wait." Ritsuko went on with the test and we were soon released. In the locker room, I was able to hear the girls talking through the paper-thin walls.

"Hey, Asuka, are you dating Shinji? You sure keep him in check!" She's really asking for it…

"Yeah, I am. And I keep him in check to keep people like you away from him!" So that's why she is so clingy! She doesn't want to lose the only person that has ever loved her.

"Don't you worry, I won't pull anything. Shinji just seems a little plane for me," plane?

I was able to hear Sam leave before Asuka could answer. It seems that Sam has more of an attitude then she lets off.

"So, Shinji, you almost ready?" that scared the hell out of me, how did she know I was listening?

"Asuka? Uh…" I paused for a second, and was punished. She then punched a hole through the wall and was now looking at me.

"You know I hate to be eves-dropped on, but now you see why I don't like her." She started to walk away, when she said one last thing, "By the way, thank you." It took me awhile to figure out that I was talking to her without a piece of clothing on.

A/N- Asuka got a little peek! So, Sam, do you like her? Do you hate her? Fell free to tell me what you thing if you post a review. What will Asuka do if Sam makes a move? What does this now Eva look like? Will Sam really be able to out-pilot the Second and Third? Find out in the next chapter; Seven Sins, until then, keep on keepin' on!"
