OMAKE
Just for fun. These don't belong anywhere in the story but Shinji and Asuka were so cute and they weren't leaving me alone so I had to write it down. Both have been tweaked. So there. Yeah. Enjoy.

Deleted Scene #1:
One warm, humid, and lazy afternoon, Shinji and Asuka were sitting in the kitchen downing ice cold orange juice when talk got around to that time.
Shinji was guzzling a glass when out of the blue Asuka said contemplatively, "You know, Shinji, if you had walked away, you would never have had any peace."
"Wha...?" Shinji sputtered, juice leaking out his lips. "W-walked away?" he coughed.
Asuka leaned over absently and thumped him on the back, "Yeah. As in, like, walked out on me, left me. You know."
"What would you have done?" Shinji asked curiously.
"Stalk you. Probably."
"You'd stalk me?" He echoed, astounded.
"Yeah." She noticed his flattered look. "Hmphh, you'd like that, wouldn't you?"
Shinji grinned, pleased.
Asuka smiled blissfully. "Just don't test me, Ikari."
Shinji shook his head and smirked at the redhead. "I think I like the thought of you stalking me. For real, this time."
"Hey! I didn't stalk you that time when... when... I wasn't myself."
Shinji raised an eyebrow.
"I didn't!" Asuka insisted, trying not to flush, "I didn't stalk you ! I... I... I seduced you!" She relaxed in her chair and closed her eyes, "That's right. Seduced you. With my innocent ways," she declared haughtily.
Asuka cracked open one eye and poked Shinji in the chest, "That means you helped, Ikari."
"Okay," he was clearly skeptical.
Asuka sat up and dropped her pose, "I mean it! I was innocent."
She poured Shinji another glass of juice, "Innocent... until I watched Misato's secret channel, of course," and handed it to him.
"Then I remembered previously unhealthy thoughts."
"Unhealthy thoughts?"
"You should close your window when you bathe, baka," Asuka turned her eyes on Shinji impassively.
Shinji looked scandalized, "You peek!"
"Course not."
"But you just said..."
"It is not peeking when the window is wide open," Asuka frowned at him primly.
Shinji tried to remember if he'd ever done anything he shouldn't have.
"A week before the accident...?" he asked, whispering.
Asuka smiled wickedly and licked her chops.

Deleted Scene #2:
Asuka walks into the living room carrying something in her hand.
ASUKA: "Shinji, do you think it's okay to use a used condom?"
SHINJI: "Yech! Where'd you get that? It looks gross. And it's all stretched."
ASUKA: "Water balloon. You should still fit."
Shinji stares at Asuka for a few seconds then he starts whooping.
SHINJI: "Hah! You just admitted I'm good!"
ASUKA: "Did not. I just admitted that you are... well-endowed."
Shinji stops his jig to think.
SHINJI: "Isn't that the same thing?"
ASUKA: "No, it's not."
SHINJI: "So I'm not good?"
ASUKA: "No need to whine. You are."
SHINJI: "Hah!"
Shinji takes Asuka into his arms and dances with her around the room.
MISATO: "Will you two knock it off? You're making me nauseous. And Rei, for the last time! WILL YOU TURN THAT CAMERA OFF?!"
