Neon Genesis Z
Genesis: 5
Spring Break
The party ended and everyone left for the evening, except for Hikari which was sleeping over with Asuka. Misato told Trunks to take a bath while Shinji got a bed ready in his room to sleep on. Trunks agreed and took a bath. While in the bath, Trunks thought to himself. Pretty much thoughts of his mother and friends and the fact the he wished to go home to take care of the androids, but it seems that destiny has something else planned for him. He thought of his new friends and the "angels" also the Eva's that fought them.
'Who and what are the angels and what is Eva?'
Remembering when Eva 1 spread it's AT field, and the strange feeling that Trunks felt.
'It almost felt like a human energy, but that couldn't be it was only a Mecha.'
He wanted to know more about these angels and Eva's, but didn't really know if he should get involved.
'Well if they are going to destroy the planet I can't just let that happen.' His last thought before getting out of the bath.
He dried off and walked out of the bath area to grab his clothes to put on, but it seemed that someone put laundry in the washing machine, and his clothes were in the washer.
'Well this isn't good what am I supposed to wear?' He thought.
From the door he called out for Misato. "Humm, Miss Misato I… huh….someone put my clothes in the washer and I don't have any clothes to wear." Trunks said with a hint of embarrassment.
Misato heard what he said and laugh with Asuka and Hikari there.
"Shinji must have put laundry in without thinking that Trunks had nothing else to wear, that is pretty funny." Hikari said.
Misato got up and walked into her room, and went through some old boxes and found a baggy pair of black sweat pants that were once Kaji's. She walked out and went to the bathroom door and left the sweat pants there.
"Trunks I left a pair of sweat pants outside the door." Misato said.
"Thanks Miss Misato." Trunks said.
Misato turned around and replied. "Trunks, it's just Misato."
"Ok." Trunks said.
Trunks walked out of the bathroom with the sweat pants on him. They were a good fit. Not to tight and not too big, just right. He walked into the kitchen where the girls and Shinji were talking. The girls just stared at Trunks with his shirt off and notice the firm abs and muscles the boy had. Trunks just stood there embarrassed.
"Humm, is everything alright?" Trunks asked.
"Just fine, Just fine." The girls said in unison.
Shinji just rolled his eyes and mumbled something about
"And they call me a baka-hentai."
Misato heard Shinji and snapped out of it.
"Sorry Trunks, didn't mean to stare just never seen a boy your age built like you." Misato said blushing.
The other girls stopped staring too.
"It's ok I understand." Trunks smiled.
"Well I think I'm going to sleep I had a rough day, goodnight." Trunks said.
Shinji got up and went into the room with him. Everyone soon went to there rooms to go to sleep.
Laying on the bed on the floor that Shinji set up for him in his room, Trunks layed there. Sleeping restlessly, Trunks was dreaming.
'Trunks standing over a destroyed city and a red sea, no people, no animals, just the sound of water crashing upon the beach. Trunks wonder where everyone was, he look around no one was around.
"What happen to them?" Trunks yelled.
"They choose they evolution, to be one with each other" A female voice said.
Trunk turned around and saw a woman standing there. The woman had angelic wings and a glow about her, she wore a mask over her face, Trunks couldn't make it out.
"Who are you?" Trunks asked.
"I'm the one that brought you here Trunks Briefs" She replied.
"What do you mean?" Trunks yelled.
"Your questions will be answer in time Trunsk, right now I wanted to show you a possible outcome of this world" She said.
"But why? I have my own problems where I come from" Trunks said.
"I know, but that is not your destiny Trunks, The Lillum are in need of someone like you to save them from themselves. The female said in a sad tone at the end.
"Lillum?" Trunk asked
"All will be explained, you must go now Trunks we will talk again." The female said walking away.
"WAIT!" Trunk yelled.
The woman vanished.
Trunks woke up with sweat pouring off his forehead.
'Who was that lady? What is lillum?' Trunks thought.
Trunks looked over at Shinji, which at this time was awake upon hearing Trunks sudden awaking.
"Trunks are you ok? You were having a dream?." Shinji asked.
"Yea, I'm ok Shinji, just a dream that was all." Trunks replied.
"Was it about the androids?" Shinji asked.
Trunks really didn't want to get into it, but again he wasn't going to lie.
"No, it wasn't about the androids, it was something else, nothing to worry about, probably because I'm in a strange place." He replied.
Shinji nodded and they both went back to sleep.
Meanwhile the girls were still up talking about everything and anything. Especially boys.
"You know Hikari, I don't know what you see in Touji, he is the biggest stooge of the three." Asuka said to her friend on the bed.
Hikari just pouted and replied. "He is sweet and kind when he wants to be."
Asuka just laughed at her friend.
"So Asuka what do you think of the new guy Trunks?" Hikari asked.
"Well I think he is a nice guy, very polite and all." Asuka replied.
"And good looking, right Asuka?" Hikari said looking at her friend.
She was watching Asuka the day they all hang out, and at the party. Asuka just blushed a little.
The sun rose the next day awaking everyone in the whole Katsuragi apartment. Shinji was in the kitchen cooking breakfast, Asuka and Hikari were in Asuka's room doing whatever. Trunks and Misato with a beer in hand were watching TV.
'Drinking this early in the morning?' Trunks said to himself.
Well it was none of his business. Trunks felt the need to still train, so with that he went out to the balcony and started in some simple exercises. Of course he couldn't do any real advance stuff, didn't want to alert anyone to his real power.
The doorbell rang and Shinji answered the door. It was Touji and Kensuke.
"Hey Shinji, is breakfast ready yet?" Touji asked.
Shinji just smiled knowing his friend had a big stomach.
"Almost Touji, you can watch TV with Misato and Trunks." Shinji replied.
Of course Touji and Kensuke jumped at the chance to be close to Misato. They rounded the corner just when Hikari and Asuka came out of the room.
"What are you two stooges doing here?" Asuka asked.
"We are here cause Shinji invited us over some breakfast and then that trip to that lake that we agreed to go to today." Touji replied.
Asuka just mumbled something about perverts and walked into the kitchen. Hikari and the two stooges were in the living room watching Trunks on the balcony. They were very impressed what they saw.
Meanwhile Trunks didn't notice that everyone was watching him doing his punches. He was still disturbed by that dream that he had, it seemed very real to him. Since his mind was on the dream he didn't notice that his punches were blowing the plants right off the balcony railings. No one really notice this either, but Trunks snapped back into reality and stop his exercises. He walked back into the apartment when he noticed everyone staring at him.
"Whats up guys?" Trunks asked.
"Oh nothing we were just amazed by you martial art skills." Misato said.
Shinji announced that breakfast was ready, and everyone piled into the kitchen to eat. It was sure good to eat, there was nothing left when everyone was finished. No one could tell who ate more, Trunks or Touji. After the clean up, everyone got ready to go to the lake that was in the near by hills of Tokyo 3.
"Man this is so great, I hope we have the whole lake to ourselves." Touji commented.
Everyone agreed. Well it was a hour walk for the group to get there, and no one was at the lake.
"Awsome!" everyone said in unison.
Touji and Kensuke drop there stuff stripped down to there bathing suits that were under there pants and hopped into the water.
The rest followed except for Trunks and Shinji. Thank god Touji had a spare set of swim trunks for Trunks. (AN: LOL)
"Shinji aren't you going to join everyone in the water?" Trunks asked.
Shinji of course kinda embarrassed with his up coming answer.
"Well to tell you the truth Trunks I don't know how to swim." Shinji replied with a sadden expression.
Trunks just chuckled at Shinji's dilemma.
"If you like Shinji I can teach you how to swim, if you like?" Trunks said with a smile.
Shinji nodded his head and got into his bathing suit.
Soon Shinji and Trunks got into the water. The first thing that Trunks showed Shinji was the doggie paddle. Shinji soon mastered the doggie paddle, and other simple swimming techniques. The finally test that Trunks gave Shinji was to swim out to the raft that was floating in the middle of the lake. Shinji made it to the raft.
"Great work Shinji you're a natural." Trunk said.
"Well I like to thank my instructor, couldn't do it without him." Shinji replied with a smile on his face.
Everyone spent the day swimming and playing. Trunks even got away with a small splash fight with Asuka.
"Ok Asuka you win." Trunks laughed.
"I always do." Asuka replied.
Asuka and Trunks spent most of the day having contests like who can tread the longest, hold there breath, swim the fastest. Of course Asuka won each time. Trunks knew she likes to win and he didn't want to embrass her infront of her friends. Trunks liked Asuka's attitude, he felt she was a strong person he like that in girls.
"Here is a towel." Asuka said.
"Thank you Asuka" Trunk replied.
Everyone notice the way they been acting so Touji started.
"Whoa! Watch out Asuka getting nice, Trunks must be the one for her." Toji said laughing
Trunks and Asuka blushed.
"Shut up you stooge before I sock you" Asuka yelled out.
"Asuka got a crush on Trunks!" Hikari said.
Trunks just was blushing. Asuka blushed harder.
"Oh my god Hikari that was secret information!" Asuka yelled chasing her friend.
Everyone laughed.
After the fun everyone went home. At the apartment Asuka, and Trunks were watching TV. Shinji went to his room. Shinji was quiet towards the end of the day. Trunks was worried, he didn't want to see his friend sad.
"Is everything alright with Shinji?" Trunks asked.
"Oh he gets like that from time to time." Asuka said.
"Asuka is right but tomorrow he goes to his mothers grave, though I don't think that upset him as much as dealing with his father being there." Misato chimed in.
"What is wrong with his father?" Trunks asked.
Misato didn't know if she should say anything but Trunks has been honest with her and she wanted to make sure Trunks knew what he was dealing with.
"Well his father is the Commander of NERV, he is my boss if you will, he is also the man looking for you." Misato said.
"What? Why me? I have done nothing wrong." Trunks said.
"True you did nothing wrong, but lets face it 'Time Machine' NERV has your machine, where I do not know, but I have been trying to find out. In the meantime your staying here is trying to keep you safe, who knows what would happen if NERV found you." Misato said.
"Thank you Misato, now I understand better, but the right thing to do is turn me in, you are been reasonable with my story and I'm sure your Commander will be too." Trunks said.
Misato thinking for a bit, she knows NERV keeps secrets and the Commander has his own agenda for things, she didn't want to turn Trunks in cause she didn't want him to be locked away with the key thrown. Plus she knows her doctor friend would have fun testing the boy.
"The commander is a different person, I mean he abandon his own son at a young age and only recently talk him just to become a Eva pilot. I don't know what would happen with you Trunks." Misato replied.
Trunks nodded.
"I will talk to Shinji" he said.
Trunks got up and walked towards Shinji's room and knocked on his door.
"Shinji can I come in?" Trunks asked.
Shinji was laying on his bed. He could hear the conversation between Trunks and Misato, he didn't like that Misato blurted out that info to Trunks, but understood Trunks not from here.
"Ok Trunks" Shinji said.
Trunks walked in the room and sat on the floor.
"I'm sorry Shinji, I was young when I lost my dad. There was no grave for him, couldn't even find his body." Trunks said.
"I was young when my mom died, I can't even remember her face, I don't even have a picture." Shinji said sadly.
"Tomorrow is a big day for you Shinji you must be strong and hold your head up, tomorrow you will see your father, but you will be seeing your mom too, so be strong for her." Trunks said.
"I know, my father is very mean I don't like him." Shinji said.
"I understand Shinji, would it help if I came along, I would just stand in the background but I will keep a eye out." Trunks said.
"You would do that?" Shinji asked.
"Yea what are friends for? Come on lets get to bed we have to wake up early." Trunks said.
Everyone was soon asleep.
