"So I heard that the 'perfect couple' is going out to the school dance." Asuka was smirking.

"Is this yet another attempt at mockery, Asuka?" muttered Kaworu.

"That depends. Do you even know what you're supposed to wear?"

"Misato and Kaji helped Kaworu and I pick appropriate clothing for the occasion" droned Rei.

"Well, Kaji approved of it, so I guess it can't be all bad. But do the two of you even know how to dance?"

Silence from the two red-eyed teens.

"You mean you haven't bothered learning how to dance? Anta baka?"

"To be honest, we weren't expecting to dance".

"There are other forms of social activity to be done at this particular occasion".

"That's just silly. But lucky for you, you get help from the one and only Asuka Langley Soryu!"

"Kaworu, would a sarcastic response be appropriate?"

"I would say yes."

"Tch." growled Asuka. "The two of you will be thanking me later". And then she turned around. "BAKA SHINJI! GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!"

The boy in question quickly ran down, fighting down the automatic "I'm sorry" and asking "What is it, Asuka?"

"You have the honor of being my dance partner."

"But you already taught me!"

"We're doing this for YOUR sister and YOUR best friend. Remember that, Third Child".

Asuka turned to her current 'students'. "Now, watch me and the training dummy closely…."

And the lesson began.

Ten Minutes Later

"Now you try!" said Asuka cheerily.

"And um…don't worry if you step on each others toes." said Shinji.

"Baka. Of course they'll step on each others toes."

Rei and Kaworu then stood up, took each other by one hand and draped the other hand over the other's body, and began to dance in utterly perfect harmony.

Asuka's jaw dropped.

Shinji gave an embarrassed smile and scratched the back of his head with one hand.

"But…but…" Asuka struggled for words. "YOU TRICKED ME!" she screamed.

"We did not, Asuka. This is the first time either of us have danced."

"Thank you for helping us. You have given us something wonderful." And the two of them bowed and left.

Asuka rubbed her head. "It took me and the baka ten tries. Ten tries! And these two dance perfectly!"

"Asuka…" said Shinji.

"WHY CAN'T I EVER BE THE BEST!"

And Shinji put his arms around her.

"You're always the best to me, Asuka. And you always will be."

She sighed and relaxed into his arms. "Baka." she whispered playfully. "Of course I am."

Random fluff.
