----------------------------------------------------

Drive home

Once everyone was in the car, Jason pulled out of the parking lot and drove down to the elevators at a semi-normal speed.

"Hey, listen… I'm sorry for snapping back there. I didn't mean to get so pissed," he apologized while they were docked in the elevator.

"No don't be. I shouldn't have hit Asuka, even if I was following orders," the only other male said hanging his head low in shame.

"True, but I did egg you on to do it. So it's my fault too. And don't go saying it's not because it is," Asuka said trying to make her point.

"Looks like we all acted like asses, except Kinori," Jason stated as the car left the elevator and started down the road.

"Yeah…" Shinji agreed with his head still hung low. 'I need to think of a way to make it up to Asuka and Jason,' he thought as he felt something grab his hand. He looked up to see Asuka holding his hand in her own.

"Listen it was my fault too, so don't go getting all depressed on me now, ok?" she asked looking at him pleadingly.

"Ok…"

"Hey, I just got an idea. You guys want to dump this down mood and forget about all this?" the driver asked looking into the rear view mirror.

"Sure, what you got in mind?" Asuka tossed back up front. Everyone was looking at Jason expectantly.

"Why don't we call up Toji and Hikari and have a little get-together. We haven't seen them in awhile so why not?" he asked everyone else.

"Not a bad idea, Frost," Asuka replied. 'I could really use a talk with Hikari right now,' she thought to herself.

"Sure," Shinji agreed. 'I need to talk to someone about this, and Toji's the guy for the job,' he thought almost mimicking his redheaded girlfriend.

Kinori looked over to her brother. "You're doing this so they can get over this aren't you?" she whispered over to him.

"Is it that obvious?"

"Yeah," she replied glancing into the back seat to see that its occupants were both in deep thought.

"Well at least they didn't catch it," he whispered. "Yo, we're home. Why don't you two call up your friends and Shinji can come with me to pick them up, since I need someone to show me where they live," he continued.

"Alright," Asuka and Kinori got out of the car and Shinji got up into the front seat with Jason.

"Hey don't be too long, ok," Asuka called back.

"We won't be," Jason replied as he pulled back out of the driveway. "Ok, call up Toji," he said turning back to the younger male.

"Sure," he replied pulling out his cell phone. He dialed a few numbers before putting the phone to his ear. "Hey Toji… nothing really, just wanted to ask you somethin'… yeah, you wanna come out to my house and swim… yeah, sorry I forgot to tell you… so it's settled… ok I'm on my way to pick you up right now… yeah, Jason's gotta car… yeah, yeah, he's sixteen remember… ok, do me a favor and call Hikari… yeah, Asuka's inviting her too… ok… see you when we get there…" Shinji hung up the phone and turned back toward the driver. "He can come over. Just take the first left when you get into town and take a right at the third light. His house in the sixth on the right," the younger male said turning back to the front of the car, going into deep thought.

"Ok, thanks for the directions. What'cha thinkin' about?" he asked noticing the look on his friends face.

"Umm… I was just wondering what to do for Asuka. I mean, I was the one who started all this," he said glancing at Jason then looking down into his lap.

"Have you thought about buying her jewelry? Jack bought a necklace for Alice once after they had a fight. He said he was sorry and she accepted it. Maybe that'll work for you," the eldest teen suggested.

"Maybe… can we stop at a jewelry story before going to Hikari's then? Maybe Toji could help me," he asked.

"Sure, it'd be my pleasure to help you out," the driver replied smiling as he turned left.

He drove down the three lights, getting green on all of them and took a right. He pulled into the drive-way of the sixth house on the right.

The door to the house opened up to the ex-pilot of Unit 03 Toji stepping out, only to fall on his face when he saw the car. His little sister, Mari, stood in the door way and giggled at his reaction to the black car in their drive-way.

"Bye big brother," she called to him.

"Bye… Mari…" he tossed back as he got back up. He slowly made his way to the car and got into the back seat.

"What's up?" the American asked when the jock got in the car.

"Hi Toji," Shinji greeted.

"Man, Jason, you got one awesome car!" he exclaimed when he got comfortable.

"Thanks. Ok, Shinji where's the nearest jewelry store?" he asked looking at the Third Child.

"Why are we going to a jewelry store?" the new arrival asked as they pulled out of the drive-way.

"Shinji, Asuka, and me had a fight and now Shinji's trying to make it up to Asuka for starting it," Jason explained as he found his way to the shopping district.

"Oh… So Shin-man, you want some help picking out what you want to get her?" Toji asked sitting forward in his seat putting his hand on Shinji's shoulder.

"Umm… sure… you have more experience with buying stuff like that, don't you?" the pilots asked as the car slowed to a stop.

"Yeah, I've bought some stuff for Hikari," he answered as they got out of the car.

"Hey, Toji, can you give me Hikari's number? I want to make sure she can come," Jason tossed over the car.

Toji told him the number as they walked toward the jewelry store.

The oldest teen pulled out his cell phone and dialed the number.

"Hikari there?" Jason asked.

"Sure hold on a second," replied a voice similar to Hikari's but older. "Hey Hikari, pick up the phone. Some boy is calling you and it's not Toji," the voice apparently called to the girl in question.

Some foot steps were heard and some giggling. "Are you cheating on Toji, little sister," Jason heard the voice again over the phone.

"I am not! I don't know who would be calling me. Only Toji and Asuka call me anymore," a familiar voice yelled back at the other one. "Hello?"

"Hi, what's up Hikari?" Jason greeted.

"Jason? Why are you calling me?" she replied her confusion showing in her voice.

"Just making sure you're able to come over to the house to hang out, that's all," Jason replied.

"Oh… yeah, I can come over. Asuka said you're going to pick me up, right?"

"Yeah, I got Toji too so you can snuggle up with him in the back seat," the older teen said with a small grin.

"Umm… ok," she replied quietly probably blushing.

"I'll be by in a little while. Just so you know; Shinji and Asuka had a fight that I ended up getting involved in. Right now Shinji's getting Asuka something to make it up to her," Jason explained leaning on his car.

"Oh… What about you? Aren't the least bit mad about it?" she asked. Jason smiled a bit hearing the worry on her voice.

"I am, but I have my own ways of taking care of it. You don't need to be worried," he replied.

"Oh ok…" she trailed off.

"Hey you might want to put your swimming suit on too. We might go swimming in our lake," he added.

"You guys got a lake! Wow…" the class rep was obviously surprised. "I'll have my bathing suit on…" she said after a minute.

"Ok, I guess I'll see you in a little while then."

"Ok, I'll see you then. Bye," she said hanging up.

"Bye," he replied doing the same.

In the jewelry store that Jason parked in front of, Shinji and Toji were looking at all the expensive rocks as Jason joined them.

"Hikari's getting ready," he said as he looked down at the pretty rocks. 'I wonder if I should get something for Kinori,' he thought to himself as he watched Shinji and Toji look over the jewelry.

'I wonder if Hikari would like any of this,' Toji thought when he spotted something he thought Asuka might like. "Hey Shinji how about this?" he said pointing at a necklace. Shinji followed his point to a very beautiful necklace.

It was a white gold necklace with a fine, very fine chain, with a white gold locket, with a small ruby right in the middle of it. It instantly reminded him of Asuka.

Jason walked up and looked at the necklace. "Yeah, I think she might like that, but just a little," he added sarcastically.

Shinji looked up to him with a worried expression. "Just a little?" he asked.

"Man, I was joking. She'll love it. I'm sure," the older teen replied looking at Shinji like he was crazy.

"Oh… ok," the younger teen replied quietly.

The jeweler, hearing the teens talking about a certain piece walked up to the three boys. "Can I help you boys?"

"Yeah, I'd like to buy this necklace," Jason spoke up.

"Ok, that will be about 30,000 yen," the jeweler replied.

Jason handed him his NERV card and he swiped it. He had paid for it before Shinji could even say anything.

The man put the necklace in a nice little rectangular box and handed it to Jason, who in turn handed it to Shinji.

"You didn't need to do that," the young teen said.

"You would have just stood there and thought about buying if I didn't do that, so I bought it for you. Also that's makes me even with you, for blowing up earlier," he explained as they walked out of the store.

The three males got back into the black GTO and it took off down the road. "Alright Toji, where does Hikari live?" the driver asked looking at the jock in the back seat.

Go up five lights then take a right, go about two blocks. She lives in the apartment complex to the right," he replied looking at the interior of the car. "Damn man, you got one excellent ride."

"Yeah, it's a 2006, and guess what… It only had twelve miles on it when I bought it," the eldest teen replied smiling widely.

"Damn…" was all the jock could respond.

Shinji, not understanding a word of car talk was staring out the window. 'I hope Asuka likes this necklace. I still feel like shit for actually hitting her,' he thought.

The car stopped in front of the apartment complex. All the passengers got out of the car and followed Toji up to the right apartment. The jock was about to knock when Hikari's older sister opened the door.

"Hi, Toji, Hikari's still changing…" she trailed off when she noticed Jason. The younger teens looked at the girl as she stared at the American.

Jason just smiled at her, until he saw Hikari running behind her. "Yo, what's up Hikari?" he asked as the girl in question pushed her sister back into the apartment.

"Sorry about that. My sister seems to fall in love with every foreign guy that comes to town," she explained. "Hi, Toji," Hikari got up on her toes and quickly pecked the jock on the cheek.

Not quite ready to show that much affection in front of his friends he blushed heavily.

"Hi Hikari," Shinji greeted giving a small bow.

"Hello Shinji. Did you get what you wanted for Asuka?" she asked.

"Yeah, I did. Now I need a way to give it to her," he replied as they started toward the parking lot.

The entire group got quite as they went into deep thought on how to help their quiet friend.

When they finally did reach the parking lot, Hikari was surprised to say the least. "Jason, where did you get this car? Did you go back in time or something?" she asked as she got into the back seat with Toji.

"You know something about cars?" Toji asked looking at his girlfriend like she was crazy.

"Yeah, dad used to work in a car shop when I was little. I learned some stuff there," she explained.

"Sweet! My girlfriend knows some guy things!" Toji cheered as the car started down the road heading back toward the Katsuragi house.

Everyone laughed at the jocks out burst. As they were heading back toward the house Hikari tapped Shinji on the shoulder.

"What?"

"How are you going to give that necklace to Asuka?"

"Well… I really don't know. I was just going to give it to her I guess," he replied quietly.

"Ok, just making sure," she said sitting back in the seat snuggling up with Toji again.

------------------------------------------------

Katsuragi house

"Hey Misato," everyone's favorite redhead called down the stairs to the basement.

"Yes, Asuka?" her guardian called back.

"You don't mind if Hikari and Toji come over do you?" she asked as her guardian appeared at the bottom of the stairs and walked up them.

"Sure, it's fine with me," she replied reaching into the fridge for a beer. "You know since Jason and Kaji can drive, I can get smashed anywhere I go. I can call either of them to come pick me up," she thought out loud.

"Figures you would think of that," the German mumbled going back to her room. 'I hope they hurry up. I wanna talk to Hikari,' she thought lying on her back. 'I still can't believe he hit me, but it's still nothing compared to everything I did to him… I guess I disserved it then,' she continued.

As she lay there she could hear a steady humming. She picked her head up to see what it was. It steadily grew louder until it was a roar. 'Damn they didn't take long at all,' she thought as she stood up and walked toward the front of the house. She heard the car pull into the drive-way. After a bit she then heard it shut off along with doors opening and closing. Opening the front door she saw all her friends walking toward her. "Hikari!" she called out as she ran toward her friend.

"Hi Asuka," she greeted before being engulfed in a smothering hug from the fiery redhead.

The guys chuckled as they watched the German drag her friend into the house. When the two were clear of the door the youngest teen in the group stepped out to greet the new arrival. "Hi Toji," she greeted with a sweet little smile.

"Umm… hi… Kinori right?" he asked scratching the back of his head and laughing a little.

"Yep, now let's go. I want to go swimming already," she said grabbing Jason's hand.

Toji watched as she dragged the older teen into the house. "What the…? Are they dating or something?"

"What! No! They're just like brother and sister," Shinji said almost choking on his own breath.

"Oh… Hey she said swimming! Come on let's go," he called as he took off toward the house.

Shinji followed the jock into the house only to run into him two feet inside the door. "Why did you stop?" he asked as he rubbed his head.

"Nice house," the jock replied quietly.

"Thanks. Now will you let me through? I need to go change into my trunks so we can go swimming," he said pushing past Toji.

He made his way down the hall toward his room and walked in, not noticing the voices on the other side of the wall.

He stepped inside to be greeted by Hikari.

"Shinji! What the hell do you think you're doing!" the class rep yelled as Asuka was just picking up her bikini bra, the red and white striped one. Hikari already had hers on. It was a yellow two piece bikini.

The male looked in horror toward the class rep as she glared at him, but still shot peeks at Asuka as she put on her bra. When she was done she turned to her friend.

"Relax Hikari, he's seen more of me than this," Asuka said turning to face the now blushing male. "Right Shinji?" she asked seductively.

Toji peeked in the door. "I heard someone yell. Is everything ok?" he asked just before a 'SLAP' was heard throughout the house.

"Toji Suzahara!" his girlfriend yelled. Expecting a reason for the slap everyone looked at her. When she didn't everyone gave her weird looks. "What?" she asked as they continued to look at her. Even Toji who was on the floor in the door way was looking at her now.

"Why did you slap him?" Shinji asked speaking what was on everyone's mind.

"Um… I don't know," she mumbled.

Everyone looked at her wide-eyed. "You hit me for no reason?" Toji said looking at her with what looked like a small tear in his eye.

"Sorry," she said very meekly. She then helped him up and gave him a very apologetic look. Her big puppy eyes made Toji falter.

"It's… It's ok. Just don't do it again ok?" he said hugging her.

"Awww," Shinji and Asuka cooed at the same time.

The hugging teens both blushed. Toji was just opening his mouth to say something when a tall person appeared in the door way behind him. "Yo, are we going to go swimming or not?" he asked.

"Yeah, yeah… Let's go," Asuka said grabbing Hikari's arm and walked out, the class rep dragging Toji with her. "Shinji hurry up and change," she tossed back to her boyfriend.

The four made it out to the lake quietly before a familiar voice, well to the pilots, could be heard from behind them.

"Hey guys what's up?" the science director asked from behind, Kinori in tow.

The small group turned around to see Maya walking up to them. She was wearing a dark blue one-piece bathing suit and some short shorts.

"Nothing much, just gettin' ready to go swimming," Jason replied as he walked into the water in his silver trunks. When it was up to his waist he dove in and swam out a ways.

"What are you doing here Maya?" Asuka asked as her and the rest of the teens stopped to talk with her.

"The same reason these two are here," she said pointing at Toji and Hikari. "Misato invited me, along with Aoba and Makoto," she continued.

"When are the other two supposed to get here?" Shinji asked.

Toji and Hikari were just standing there listening politely to the conversation.

"They should be here soon," she answered.

Toji took a couple of steps back and took off his shorts and his shirt. Hikari was going to yell at him when he took off his pants before she noticed he was wearing his trunks underneath them. After that the girl couldn't stop blushing as she looked at his athletic body, and his green trunks.

"I'm hittin' the water. Shinji you gonna join me?" he asked as the other male emerged from the house wearing his dark blue swimming trunks.

"Yeah, I'm coming," Shinji replied running with the jock toward the lake. Once they were in they swam out to where Jason was floating.

Back with the chicks, Asuka was walking toward the house to get something.

"Hey Asuka, the lake's this way," Hikari called out pointing toward the lake.

"I know, but I'd like to work on my tan first," she said slipping into the house.

"Oh," the class rep mumbled turning back to the other girls in the small group.

"It's Hikari right?" Maya asked.

"Yeah, and you're Maya?" she replied with a question of her own.

The older woman nodded. "Well it's nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too," she said bowing a little. Everyone knows the Hikari keeps her class rep mode with her everywhere she goes.

Misato and Asuka walked out of the house with towels and a few things of sun tan lotion in their hands and joined the other girls. Following the girls was Makoto and Aoba, along with Kaji, Aoba carrying his guitar with him. Makoto and Kaji were both wearing trunks and after saying hello to the girls ran out to the lake and went for a swim. Those two joined the small group out there.

"You must be the Fifth Child, Jason Frost right?" Makoto asked.

"Yeah, who are you?" said teen replied.

"I'm Makoto Hyuga. I used to be a tech with NERV, but I quit and made a small computer business with Aoba up there," he said motioning to the man with a guitar on the beach with his head.

"Cool," Jason replied.

He was completely unaware of the two teens behind him until they both dunked him under the water. The men laughed as Jason sprung back up from under the water and turned to the other teens.

"Oh shit," they muttered as they tried to swim away. But alas Jason reached out and grabbed their legs and pulled them back, putting his hands on their heads and pushing them under.

The men laughed even harder when the two teens came back up gasping for air. They were so preoccupied with their laughter to even notice the boys moving behind them. Jason and Shinji dunked Kaji as Toji dunked Makoto. When the men were under the three boys took off swimming as fast as they could, Toji and Jason basically pulling the Third Child behind them. When the men came back up they searched for said boys and swam off after them.

All three boys took off running as fast as they could when the hit the shore. They crowded around their girlfriends, meaning Jason was left out to dry. When Kaji and Makoto hit the shore they chased Jason down as fast as they could but couldn't catch the Eva pilot.

Everyone was in and uproar as the three went around the front of the house.

Out front Jason stopped running and turned to Kaji. "Hey you still got those super-soakers?" he asked giving him and evil smirk.

"Yeah, I do," he replied both men returning the smirk and gasping for air.

Kaji went into the house and came back out a few moments later with three guns full of water. He gave one to Makoto and to Jason and they proceeded to make it look like they were chasing Jason.

He came back out around the house and ran right at the group. When he got to them they all flinched as he jumped over them. When he landed everyone looked back to see the two men standing there pointing their guns at them. The slowly raised their arms up in surrender when Misato squeaked. They all turned to her and saw that she was being sprayed by the one who jumped over them. Then Makoto and Kaji fired their guns and everyone started to squeal and complain about getting wet and cold. When the guys were out of water they looked at the small wet crowd who was glaring at them.

The three ran off in different directions and hid themselves as they were chased, Misato going after Kaji, Shingeru and Maya going after Makoto, and the rest chasing down Jason.

Jason took a look behind him only to see that all the teens were chasing him. Thinking fast he ran into the house trying to lose them. They all followed and chased him up to his room which he had closed and locked the door.

"He's going to either stay in there or climb out his window," Asuka said turning to the rest of the group.

"Ok, we'll head him off out back then," Toji said with Shinji nodding.

In his room Jason was panting heavily. 'Ok, out the window,' he thought as he opened it and looked out. 'This is going to hurt,' he thought as he lowered himself out the window then dropped down onto the soft dirt the surrounded the house. 'Ok, not as much as I thought,' he thought as he turned to see Toji and Shinji run out the back door. "Oh shit," he yelped taking off for the corner of the house.

Toji and Shinji chased but slowed a bit when he turned the corner. Hoping their plan worked they walked around the corner to see Jason lying on the ground and Asuka lying about two feet away from him rubbing her head.

"Sorry, Asuka," he said getting up. He looked at the two boys then turned back to the girls who were helping Asuka up. "Oh shit," he muttered again as Asuka glared at him and he heard Shinji and Toji rushing forward to grab him.

Hoping his timing was right he back flipped over the boys. As he landed he watched Toji run right into Hikari and Shinji tackle Asuka again. Kinori looked up from the wreckage and started running after him.

He wasn't running his fastest but he was still running, with Kinori right on his heals. When they reached the beach she jumped and tackled him.

Jason rolled over to look at his assailant. Looking up from tackling Jason, Kinori gave him a big smile, which he sent back briefly before noticing something. Kinori was wearing a white two piece swimming suit and was bigger in the upper story than most girls her age, and the way she was laying on him almost giving him a clean view of her 'assets'.

Looking back up to her, "Looks like you caught me," he said smirking. 'She's like your sister, you can't think that way. But she does look hot,' he thought fighting with his hormones, which at sixteen are really strong.

"Yep, sure looks like it," she replied still smiling widely.

"You know if Shinji wouldn't have told me I would think you two are dating," Toji teased as he walked up to them.

The two looked up at him. Jason started to scramble a way when he noticed that two certain girls were looking at him with evil smirks.

"Shit!" he yelled when Toji and Shinji grabbed his arms holding him in place. 'I could get away but it would ruin the fun,' he thought.

"What should we do with him guys?" Asuka asked as her and the other two girls stood in front of him.

Shinji, Toji, and Jason had to admit, all three girls looked spectacular.

"I don't know. Maybe toss him in the water?" Hikari suggested with a tone that said 'Oh no, it's going to be a hell of a lot worse than that'.

"Nah, it's got to be worse than that," Kinori said smiling evilly at her brother.

"Hey I know. Why don't you punish Jason for what he did back a NERV and now, Kinori?" Asuka asked looking over to the younger teen.

Jason paled. 'I forgot about that,' he thought remembering what happened at NERV.

The young tech's evil smirk spread wide. "Why don't we go shopping Jason?" she asked not masking the evil in her voice.

The oldest teen gulped. "Uh… umm…" he stuttered not knowing what to answer.

"Yes, big brother?"

"Uh… sure," he answered slowly and painfully. 'I should have tried to get away.'

When Jason answered Kinori squeaked and jumped up and down a bit. The other two girls then turned to their boyfriends.

"Shinji," Asuka said seductively.

"Toji," the other girl said in the same tone as Asuka. Obviously this girl has been taking lessons from Asuka. How else would she know to do that?

The last two boys gulped and let go of Jason's arms. They both hung their heads in defeat.

All three girls took off for the house, with the boys slowly following them. As they ran up there they stopped to talk to Misato. "Hey can you drive some of us to the mall?" Asuka asked.

"Why?"

"The boys are taking us shopping," Kinori answered.

Misato and Maya both perked up a bit from that one little word that could scare almost any man.

"I'll go get changed," Kaji said walking into the house, knowing what Misato was going to ask him.

"Man, he's whipped," Shingeru whispered to Makoto.

"Yeah, I know what you mean," he whispered back.

"Hey Shingeru," Maya called over.

"I'll go get changed too," he said getting up and walking around the house to his car.

Makoto being the only person left out decided to go along with it.

-----------------------------------------------------

Mall

It took three cars but everyone got out to the mall. The girls had hit every clothes shop in there and emptied the older men and Toji of their money. Jason and Shinji however had a lot more money than the rest and were still shopping with Kinori and Asuka. Two of the three cars' trunks full of bags, containing make-up clothes and other assorted items that girls buy. (I'm not a girl so I have no clue what all they buy in there besides clothes.)

"Shinji," the redheaded German called out seductively as she walked out of the changing room. "How do you like this one?" she asked turning to show off what she was wearing: a plain black dress with a cut up the side up to her upper thigh. The straps holding up the dress were thin, and also there was a 'V' cut in the front showing ample cleavage.

The young man stared for the thousandth time that day as his girlfriend twirled around quickly. "It's great Asuka. One of the best ones yet," he commented with a light blush.

Asuka smiled at him and walked back into the changing room.

She returned a few minutes later in her normal street clothes: a pair of moderately short shorts and a red t-shirt. She handed Shinji one more bag, which in turn he handed to a Section 2 agent that was waiting behind a rack of clothes. Said agent took the bag and started to fill up the third car's trunk.

"Hey baka why don't we go get something to eat while we wait on Jason and Kinori," she asked when Shinji joined her outside the clothes store.

"Sure, but hey speaking of those two. Where are they? They left Alexander's about an hour ago. I haven't seen them since," he said as they started toward the food court.

A/N: I just made up the name for the store. If there is one out there I don't own it.

"I don't know. Ask that agent where they are," she said with a smirk.

"Umm… sure," he said twiddling with his fingers.

"It's ok. Don't worry about it. Since your hands aren't tied up with the bags, they can eventually be tied up with me right?" she asked smiling.

Shinji blushed and nodded. Soon he saw the agent return and start following them again. "Hey, come here," he called over to the agent.

The tall man in a black suit walked up to the two pilots. "What can I do for you Pilot Ikari?"

"Do you know where the Fifth Child, Jason Frost and Kinori Kururugi are?" he asked as they walked along.

"Yes, they're at the arcade. Anything else?" he replied pointing toward an arcade which wasn't that far from the food court.

"No, thanks," he said letting the agent go. "So do we head to the arcade or to the food court?"

"Let's get some food first. I'm hungry," she said as her stomach growled.

"Kay," he replied as they walked up to a food stand. "What do you want?"

"I'll have a hotdog please," she ordered from the man at the food stand.

"And I'll have one too, please," Shinji added.

The man nodded and produced two hotdogs from his stand. The two took the hotdogs and put what they wanted on them. When Asuka and Shinji were satisfied with what they had on their hotdogs they made their way over to the arcade, looking for the tech and the last pilot.

"I wonder what they're playing," Asuka said as they walked in. A large group was formed around one of the few racing games in the arcade.

"For some reason I think they're over here," Shinji said as they walked toward the group.

When they reached the edge they saw the pilot of Unit 04 playing the game along with three other boys racing in similar ones next to his.

"Damn! I can't keep up with him!" one of them complained as they rounded a corner on the track.

"Neither can I!" the one on the end said losing it in a corner and crashing into the wall, ending his game. "Damn it!"

Shinji watched as Jason slid through a corner and accelerated down a straight-away, going through the gears.

The last boy who hadn't complained yet was not too far behind Jason. The two raced for a bit, before coming up on an 'S' turn.

As they slid through the first turn the boy lost it and spun out. Jason, who kept control the entire time, slid through the next curve and went on to win the race.

"Alright!" he exclaimed as he threw his arms into the air.

The other three boys looked down at their feet as they walked away from the games.

Jason got up and walked toward his fellow pilots with a big smile on his face. "Hey guys, what's up?" he said as Kinori appeared next to him from within the crowd.

"Nothing really. Just getting you guys," Asuka replied. "Nice race by the way," she added as they started heading toward the exit.

"Yeah, I bet you played that game back in the States a lot," Shinji guessed.

"Yeah, I did. I never thought I would beat anyone here in Tokyo 3 though. I figured you guys knew the game forward and back," he said putting his hands behind his head and looking at the ceiling.

All four of them laughed as they walked away from the arcade.

"Where's everyone else?" the youngest asked.

"They already went back to our house. Toji and Hikari wanted me to thank you for thinking of this idea," Asuka said looking at the eldest teen.

"Hey, anytime. It's a lot of fun to have everyone together once in awhile," he responded with a laugh.

"Yeah, and I'd like to thank you too," the German said looking from Shinji to Jason. "You helped us get over what happened," she continued.

Jason let his arms fall as he walked on. "Listen, I still want to apologize about how I reacted earlier. You didn't mean to hit me with Unit 01, so I shouldn't have snapped at you. I shouldn't have hit you like I did," he said hanging his head low.

"Hey, don't worry about it. I know you're sorry and I am too. I should have watched wear I was throwing the baka," she said with a light laugh.

Everyone laughed a bit. "Ok, guys lets worry about getting home," Kinori stated as they reached the parking lot.

Everyone climbed in and the car roared to life. Jason backed the car out of the parking spot and pulled out of the parking lot. Soon the mall was covered by other buildings as they drove away.

As they neared their home they saw the other two cars in their drive-way that belonged to Makoto and Maya.

When they pulled into the drive-way he let everyone out before pulling the car into the garage. When he got out he walked back to the trunk and got the bags out of his car. As he walked toward the front door to the house he saw Shingeru's motorcycle. 'Man, I really need to get me one of those,' he thought as he opened the door and joined everyone else inside the house.

"Hey is one of those bags mine?" someone from inside the mass of people in the living room asked.

"Umm… I don't know. I'll just lay all the bags on the ground, then everyone can find their stuff," he said laying the bags down and walking into the kitchen.

As the group of girls and former techs looked throughout the bags for their stuff the teen boys and Kaji were in the kitchen.

"Another expensive mall trip," Toji exhaled as he laid his head down on the table.

"Tell me about it," Kaji agreed as he took a drink from his beer can.

Shinji and Jason kept quiet.

"Hey Shinji," his friend tossed at him for under his arms.

"Yeah?" he asked kinda quietly.

"Where did you get so much money?"

"I pilot Eva, remember?"

"So they actually pay you guys?" the jock asked picking up his head.

"Yeah, and they get more money in one battle than most people do in a year," Kaji added.

"Damn! You lucky bastards," he exclaimed.

The two pilots laughed a bit and scratched their heads.

In the living room everyone was finishing up getting their stuff separated. There were a few bags off to the side for the guys in the kitchen to go through.

"Did you guys get all of your stuff?" the raven haired wonder asked.

"Yeah, thanks Misato," Maya replied bowing a little.

"Hey, look at who you're bowing to. Is that really necessary?" the Vice-Commander asked.

"Yeah, you're right. When in Rome do like the Romans," she said standing up with a smile.

"That's right."

"Well we got all of our stuff so I guess we should be heading out," Makoto said standing up.

"Yeah," Shingeru agreed.

"Ok, thanks for coming guys," Asuka said standing up.

"Yeah, it was good to see you two again," Kinori added looking over to the former techs.

"Thanks guys," the original tech bunny trio said bowing ever so slightly.

The guys in the kitchen walked into the living room.

"Bye guys," Jason said giving them a slight wave.

"See you guys later," Shingeru said as the three exited the house.

Everyone sat down, but heard a crash outside.

"SUN OF A BITCH!" Shingeru yelled standing over his tipped over bike.

"Are you ok?" Makoto asked from his car.

"Yeah, but my bike isn't too good," Shingeru replied looking down at his bike. The oil tank was leaking, no pouring out oil onto the drive-way.

Kaji looked out the door. "Not good. Shingeru's bike has a huge oil leak," he said as the other males walked up next to him.

"Ouch…" Jason said looking at the bike.

"Hey, Makoto can you give me a ride?" Shingeru asked.

"Sorry man, I got to get home. Dog's are probably going nuts right now," he said slightly shaking his head with a slightly sad look.

"It's ok," Aoba said looking down.

Jason stepped outside. "Hey, I can give you a ride if you want," he offered.

"Really?" Jason nodded. "Thanks!"

Jason went back into the house.

"You know, I was going to take you to my place, but if you're gonna get a ride from Jason, well… I don't know," Maya said seductively from her car.

Kaji and Shinji looked at each other. "I didn't know Maya was that way," Shinji said.

Kaji shrugged.

"Hey Kaji, can you tell Jason that I'm getting a ride from Maya instead?" Shingeru called with a big smile as he got into Maya's car.

The agent nodded and turned to see the American behind him with a smile on. "What?"

"I knew that was going to happen," he replied as the two cars pulled out of the drive-way and left. "Well we can't leave his bike outside." He turned to Misato. "Is it ok if I put it in the garage?" Misato nodded, and Jason went out and took care of the bike. Inside, the girls picked up their bags and took them to their rooms.

"Why do girls always have to buy so much?" Shinji asked.

"That is one question I cannot answer, Shinji," Kaji replied. The two males sat down on the couch and started to channel surf, later joined by the eldest teen.

---------------------------------------------------

A few hours later (Warning! Lemon ahead, skip to next split where it says Jason's room if you don't want to read it!)

Jason took Hikari and Toji home. The girls had put their stuff away and the boys had taken care of their few items. Everyone was in getting ready for bed. Shinji, who had been lying on his bed in his boxers waiting on Asuka to get out of the shower so they could go to bed, was pondering something.

'How do I give her the necklace?' he questioned himself. 'Do I just pull it out and give it to her, or do I wait?' he continued, holding the box in his hands.

He opened the box and looked at the necklace. 'I really hope she likes this,' he thought as Asuka walked into the room, clad in only a towel.

"Shinji, what ya got there?" she asked as she walked over to him.

"Oh! Umm… nothing…" he said closing and hiding the box behind his back.

"Show it to me," she demanded.

"No," he replied meekly shaking his head.

"Shinji, please show me what you have behind your back," she asked seductively, bending over enough to show him some of her cleavage.

Shinji blushed furiously as he glanced at Asuka's breasts, just long enough for her to snatch the box out from behind his back.

She looked at the design and shape of the box and looked right back at Shinji. "You didn't…" she whispered as she sat down on the bed next to her boyfriend.

The young man scooted over next to her. "Why don't you open it and find out?" he whispered into her ear.

Looking from her love to the box, she slowly opened it. Her eyes lit up as she looked inside to see the white gold locket with the small ruby decorating it. "Oh Shinji, you shouldn't have," she said pulling the necklace out of the box slowly. She looked from the beautiful necklace that hung from her fingers to a beaming Shinji. She gently motioned for him to put it on her.

Doing what was requested; the young man took the necklace and moved behind her. As she held her hair out of the way he gently put the necklace around her neck and fastened it.

Asuka stood and walked over to the mirror on her dresser. "Shinji… it's gorgeous. Thank you," she said taking it off. She put the necklace back into its box and laid it on her dresser.

Shinji stood up, looking at her. He waited for her to do something. "Asuka, are you ok?" he asked.

"Oh yeah…" she whispered as she turned and grabbed his collar and pulled him into a deep passionate kiss. As they kissed they slowly made their way to their bed, falling on it. As they fell Asuka lost the towel that was covering her, showing her naked beauty to Shinji.

'Oh my god! She's naked!' he thought. 'Ah, screw it, it's now or never,' he continued as he smoothly rubbed his hands over her back and sides; the feel of her smooth silky skin under his hands.

A muffled moan escaped through Asuka's locked lips. 'Oh come on, do it already!' she yelled in her head. 'Wait… he is!' she added as she kissed him even deeper as his hands made their way to her chest.

As Shinji started to massage her breasts, she moaned even more from the pleasure she was receiving from his hands. 'It's even better than the last time!' she moaned in her head.

The two continued to show their passion for each other until Asuka laid her hand on Shinji's while it was still on her breast. 'I want to take this further…' she murmured to herself as she slowly guided the hand down, over her stomach, and down to her womanhood.

Shinji's eyes shot open and he pulled back, looking at Asuka with a blush the color of her hair. 'She just put my hand down there! HOLY SHIT!' he screamed in his head.

She only smiled back and mouthed the words 'it's ok' to him. 'Still the shy baka,' she thought to herself. 'But he's my shy baka,' she added lovingly to herself.

'As I said before, it's now or never,' he said trying to get his courage up as he looked from her face to her womanhood, slowly lying next to her again. When he seemed comfortable she again placed his hand on her. Again looking to her for permission, Shinji slowly moved his fingers around, feeling her.

Asuka moaned loudly as she felt the surge of pleasure shoot up from her pelvis. 'I can't believe it! He's actually doing it!' she screamed in pleasure as his fingers explored her nether regions, while still massaging her breast.

Shinji's thoughts were in the same area as hers. 'I can't believe I'm doing this…' he said to himself as Asuka whispered something.

"Huh?" he whispered as she let out another moan.

"Go in," she replied in a whisper as she grabbed his hand and guided it to her entrance.

Slowly Shinji found the small hole and slid a single finger in a bit. Asuka let out a louder moan as she arched her back from the pleasure.

'This feels so good!' she mentally moaned as he started to maneuver the finger within her, sending more surges of pleasure and euphoria up her body. 'Gott, I love him so much!'

He slowly kissed and nibbled her neck as he still maneuvered her fingers inside of her. 'Hope this makes her feel even better.'

'Where did he get this good?' she thought as a new feeling started to well up inside her. More moans escaped her lips as the young Japanese boy continued to pulse his fingers and kiss her neck, his free hand still massaging her breast. Slowly the feeling built within her, wanting to escape.

The young man slowly made his way up her neck with his light pecks and nibbles till he made it to her ear. Nibbling her lobe he sent shivers down her spine. 'She must really like this,' he thought as she moaned even more.

'It's almost here,' she thought as the feeling threatening to engulf her as she clenched the sheets in one hand and Shinji's leg in the other.

'She must almost be there,' he thought feeling her grasp on his leg. 'Maybe if I go faster, it'll feel even better for her,' he continued speeding up his fingers while still massaging her breast and still lying light pecks and nibbles on her neck.

"Shinji…" she slowly moaned his name loudly as she was engulfed by the euphoria of her orgasm. All her muscles tensed, her back arched, as Shinji continued to move his fingers in her.

'What the…?' he thought as he felt all the muscles in her body tense, and surprisingly he felt the walls around his fingers get tighter as well. 'She must have just…' he thought as he heard her moan his name.

As her orgasm faded she fell limply back onto the bed, all the muscles in her body relaxing. As she did this Shinji pulled his fingers out, looked at his hand for a moment then wiped it off on the sheets of the bed.

As the two lay there Shinji pondered something. 'I can't believe this. Before Third Impact my head would have been caved in and my guts thrown across the street if I ever tried anything like that with her. I just can't believe how far we've come since then. We went from hating each other to loving each other in under a year. It just blows my mind… but I'm not complaining. I really love this girl… or else I wouldn't have done that,' he finished with a small grin.

As Shinji was pondering this Asuka was curled up next to him basking in his body heat, even though she had plenty of her own to keep her warm. After laying there for a bit, her strength returned to her. A thought drifted into her head. 'That was… It's too good to describe! But I can't let him have all the fun, now can I?' She slowly rolled over onto him and slid down his body. "It's your turn…" she whispered as she slipped her fingers under the rim of his boxers, slowly pulling them down.

'What's she doing?' he asked himself as she pulled his boxers off. He watched as she tossed them away from them, landing on the floor. 'She's not, she can't be! She wouldn't go that far yet, would she?' he asked himself almost hysterically.

'He's gonna love this,' Asuka thought as she looked upon Shinji's friend. 'I guess my Invincible Shinji is even better than I thought,' she mused as she gently laid her hand on it.

Shinji immediately tensed up when she laid her hand on him. "A-Asuka… w-what are you doing!" he asked very surprised.

"Relax, I'm gonna do what you did to me…" she replied calmly. 'I really can't believe I'm doing this…' she thought opposed to her calm response. 'I remember when I would beat the shit out of him for just thinking something like this, and here I am doing it. Wow, how things can change,' she mused as a hand grabbed hers before she could start stroking him. She looked up to see Shinji shaking his head slowly.

"I don't think you should do that, Asuka," he said looking right into her eyes.

"Why not?" she asked feeling slightly rejected.

"If you did that, we might be temped to go further and… I know I'm not ready for that," he said looking down.

"We wouldn't do that!" she almost yelled back.

"You don't know that, Asuka. Remember what Misato told us? Remember how she said things can get way out of control really quick? I don't want that to happen here… then we'll have to pay for it later. I'm sorry… but I'm not ready yet," he explained holding her hand, looking at the floor.

"Oh… it's ok… I guess I was in a bit of a rush," Asuka said looking down too, "You want to wait then?" she asked looking up to him.

"Yeah, but it won't be too long…" he said giving her a small grin.

"Ok, but for now, let's go to bed," she said laying down next to him.

"Night, Asuka."

"Guten nacht, Shinji. I love you… and thanks," she said with a small blush and a small innocent smile.

"I love you too, and you're welcome," he replied giving her a peck on the lips.

The two were asleep in a matter of moments, their bodies unclothed and pressed up against each other; a sheet gently covering them.

---------------------------------------------------

Jason's room

The pilot was listening to his music for a while trying to drown out the sound he was hearing through the floor, when a message on his comp said he got an e-mail.

Getting up, he noticed the sound had stopped as walked over to the computer and read the message.

Jason,

It's been awhile since we heard from ya buddy. How's it going over there in Japan? Hope the other pilots aren't ripping you apart yet. lol When you get the time, why don't you send us a message? Like to know how you're doing.

See ya later, Jason.

Jack and Alice

Quickly he replied to the message.

Hey, I'm doing pretty good. Thanks for asking. I can't start to tell you what's happened over here. I'll have to give you a call one of these days. Me, Asuka, and Shinji are getting along pretty well, well besides them trying to kick the shit out of me today. lol No problems with them. Seriously though, we're in for a long haul here. I'll give you the details later in person. See ya later, Jason.

He clicked the send button and shut down his computer. Going back to his bed he thought over everything that had happened so far.

'We really are in for the long haul, aren't we?' he thought as he slowly slipped into another dreamless sleep.

---------------------------------------------------------

A/N: All right for the peeps who decided to skip the lemon, if there are any, Shinji gave her the necklace. Ok, I started a forum for this fic. It's called Frost's Icy Pad.
