In Which Asuka Cannot Find Her Shoes
Asuka could not find her shoes. She was quite certain she had left them in the hall closet, but after several minutes of searching she still could not find them. She went back to her room and searched under the bed. No shoes. Next she moved to her closet. No shoes. After she looked in the living room and could not find them, there was only one option left.
Asuka stamped towards the kitchen and found exactly what she was looking for. Shinji. She pointed one long finger at him and declared "You've lost my shoes!"
Shinji had just been about to take his first bite of toast. "Huh?" he replied, and nervously dropped the piece of toast as she continued to glare at him.
"You've lost my shoes," she grabbed him by his shirt collar and dragged him out of the kitchen, "and now you're going to find them for me."
Soon Shinji was emptying the hall closet under Asuka's close supervision. When no shoes were found she hauled him to the rest of the house to search. Once, Shinji mentioned that if they kept looking they would be late for school, but she grabbed him by the ear and took him to search the kitchen.
The second time they crossed the living room Shinji tripped over something. Asuka turned towards him to tell him to hurry up, when she realized what he had tripped over. Her shoes. They had been in the living room the whole time. She had not seen them because there was a magazine on top of them.
Asuka snatched the shoes up and hauled the unfortunate Shinji to his feet. "A lot of help you were!" she snapped at him. "Now we're going to be late."
"But…but you said" protested Shinji as Asuka forcefully dragged him towards the door. He barely had time to grab his school bag before she pulled him through the doorway. "My toast…" he murmured regretfully as Asuka dragged him towards the stairs.
