The time went by as it usually did, Touji managed to set a new record of holding buckets within 5 minutes of the class starting
The teacher gave the students a assignment on Computer technology in which they had to pair up, Because Touji couldn't understand a mouse from a keyboard Kensuke paired with him, Rei quickly paired with Shinji before Asuka had the chance to instead she paired up with Hikari
Shinji, Rei, Kensuke and Touji were eating lunch underneath the same tree they always did, It was up on the hill so it overlooked the school
Shinji turned away from
the other boys "So Rei what do you want to do for the assignment"
She grabbed her notes
and handed it to him "A slide show showing the timeline of
technology and its achievements"
"Awesome, When do you
want to start it?" he handed back the notes
"Tonight after we are
finished at the arena"
They agreed "Want to
do it at my place, My parents won't be home to annoy us"
Rei smiled at the idea
"Yes that would be good"
Kensuke was listening
in and turned to Touji "When do you think these two will get
together?" he said barely in a whisper
"Dunno man, If Shinji
could beat around the bush he would, and when his finished he would
glue that bush back together just to beat around it again" Touji
chuckled after he presumed that was the smartest thing he said all
day
"What are you two
laughing about?" Shinji was curious why Touji was laughing
"He just said
something that he thought was funny" Kensuke added leaning back
"He said.." He was
silenced when Touji put him into a head lock and started playing his
head like a bongo
Shinji turned from the two fighting males and asked Rei if she wanted to go back to class, she agreed and they left the other two behind
"You tell Ikari and
you're a dead man" Touji let Kensuke go and stood up
"Man don't do that
again or else!" Kensuke was abit pissed
"Or else, your going
to pound me?" he laughed "My bum is a out pipe not a in pipe"
Kensuke gritted his teeth again
--------------------------
It wasn't long till school was over and the teens were walking towards the arena, Touji had already said his goodbyes and took off home, Shinji was explaining the code script to Kensuke and Rei
"Yeah other units can
access the script but they won't have the Game debugger mode,
Kensuke I made that so other people can't crash the game, Only
units zero and one can access the game debugger, but the rest can
still access the unit debugger"
"I guess that's all
we need anyhow" He flexed his arms, "This is going to be sweet"
"So the Code is to
say 'Commander Ikari' while pulling on the left throttle and
activating the Self destruct within five seconds?"
Shinji nodded "That's
the one Rei"
They walked up to the
entrance before shinji showed his ID "They are with me"
The clerk looked at the
boy "Very well go on in" 'Spoilt little brat'
Shinji flashed a quick smile to Kensuke and walked threw the doors and to the empty plugs in the VIP room
"Jump in guys, Use channel 72 code 3382" Shinji jumped into his entry plug and waited for the others to come online"
Kensuke "Danm it I
got stuck with this junk of crap unit 102"
Shinji "Man don't
worry we have the big upper hand, Plus this channel is the one
installed in that script, We can talk about anything on hear and no
one else can listen in"
Rei "I
underestimated you shinji"
Shinji "Hehe
Activate"
The image's of the
playing field came to life and a message appeared on screen
'Welcome to Eva bash,
scripts will be automatically detected by the Magi super Computer and
you will be banned, Watch your language and be good to others'
Kensuke "Dude did
you see that"
Shinji "Yeah but we
are running the script by using this radio channel, it will only
detect a script if you input it, but if you activate one that's on
the Magi it will determine its allowed, and when it see's invisible
mode not even the Akagi's will see it unless they know its there
and know the password. Now activating code"
Shinji activated the Code instantly bringing up the debug menu "It works guys"
he quickly clicked on the god mode only available to unit one and zero, Kensuke had to select the codes from the pop down list
Shinji "Lets move
it!"
Rei "Roger"
Kensuke "On it"
Shinji spotted Asuka's red Eva unit and jumped up in the air instantly taking flight and hovering some 4000 feet above the ground 'She doesn't know what's coming'
He activated his prog knife and one cut one kill code he smirked 'your going down Asuka'
Before Asuka realised it Shinji was on top of her and slashed her pinkie, She didn't see where he slashed her but her cockpit instantly went red and a message appeared "You have been killed by Unit 01" she was left cursing inside her plug waiting to be re-spawned
Shinji: "O my god it
works!"
Kensuke: "What
does!" Kensuke shouted as he was still trying to work out the
system
Shinji: "The one
slash one kill code for the prog knife"
Kensuke: "Sweet"
Unit 30 was killed
by Unit 102
Unit 42 was killed
by Unit 102
Unit 109 was killed
by Unit 102
"Kensuke stop it!"
Shinji shouted "We don't want to raise suspicion"
"aww Danm" Kensuke
sounded rejected
Unit 02 was killed
by Unit 00
Rei: "She's not
going to like that"
Kensuke: "haha that's
awesome Rei"
PM to unit 00,01,102:
"When did you 3 know how to pilot?"
Shinji: "Ignore her"
Rei: "Acknowledged"
Kensuke: "With
pleasure"
Unit 02 was killed by
unit 102
Kensuke: "haha this
is so cool"
Shinji: "Dude she is
going to kill you"
Kensuke: "haha never"
Shinji: "I mean at
school"
Kensuke gulped 'Oh
crap'
They continued playing around for abit and moved to the outskirts of the city map to talk
Shinji: "Well we know
it works"
Kensuke: "Man its
awesome, I'm having a ball"
Rei: "Shinji you have done well, I'm surprised"
They continued talking
for abit before it was time to go, As Shinji exited the plug Asuka
was there waiting
"What the hell was
that!"
"Piloting, like you
should know"
This infuriated her
"Baka! I know what it was, you were cheating!"
Shinji put on a shocked
expression "Cheating! You know the Magi would pick that up!"
She calmed down before
she hissed "Tell wonder girl I want to talk to her, and tell that
stooge I will see him later"
'She's not happy at all' Shinji thought as he waited for the other two to come out 'I feel sorry for you Ken'
---------------
"Did she really say
that?" Kensuke was nervously laughing 'I'm so dead'
"Don't worry to
much man, just stay clear of her and let her repeatedly kill you next
time, then she might leave you alone physically"
Kensuke groaned, there
was a slim chance he could avoid Asuka. And being killed repeatedly
did hurt his score's
"Shinji-kun we should
start on the assignment soon" Rei let herself be known from behind
the boys
"Oh yeah, Sorry Ken
we got to go" Shinji put his arm behind his neck smiling
"No problem, see you
at school tomorrow!" he took off down a side street
"Shall we go?"
Shinji asked pointing the way to his apartment
Rei nodded and started
walking beside him
"Are you hungry Rei?"
Shinji spoke trying to break the silence "I can cook something when
we get back"
Rei smiled, She loved
his cooking "That would be good Shinji-kun"
"Cool, I'll start
it as soon as we get there so we can study as soon as possible"
They walked the rest of the way in silence to his apartment, Once inside Shinji quickly took his shoes off and started preparing the food, Rei followed him
"I wish to help you
cook" She spoke from the kitchen doorway
"It's fine rei I
can manage, Go watch some tv or you can set up in the lounge room if
you want" He didn't take his eyes off the food
"Can I… Can I watch
you cook?" Rei quickly put her hand over her mouth while her cheeks
turned a slight shade of pink
"Yeah sure Rei, Come in and i'll show you how i season the vegetables"
Rei sighed 'Thank god
he didn't pick up on that' She noticed that he started humming as
he cooked 'Is he blind that I'm interested in him?'
He looked over at Rei
"Its ready" Rei quickly looked at the floor when he turned
towards her "Ok"
'Why did she blush'
Shinji thought as he set down the plates 'Maybe I'm seeing
things'
"So Rei" Shinji
started to fork in the food "Got any idea's on when we should
start on the Timeline?"
She looked at him for a
few seconds before snapping out of it "Oh.. Yeah I already have it
started from when the first production computer was built" she
poked at her food for a while before taking a mouthful
Shinji didn't notice that she was acting strangely "Ok I'm all done" Shinji took his plate over to the dishwasher "When your finished just chuck your plate here and meet me in the lounge room" She nodded and after he left she started forking down the food as quickly as possible
"hiccup"
"hiccup"
'oh no'
"hiccup'
"Shinji! Hiccup"
"hiccup"
Shinji same back in the
kitchen and noticed Rei was hiccuping "Oh dear, Here have a glass
of water"
"hiccup"
"hiccup ok"
She quickly drank the
water and waited awhile
"You know you
shouldn't eat fast, it can cause hiccups" Shinji said
sarcastically
She narrowed her eyes
at him "I'm well aware of the now"
Shinji laughed as he
took her plate and cup to the sink "Well come on if you wanna start
this assignment
Rei pulled herself from
the chair "Very well"
Rei was the first to
sit down, Shinji sat beside her "My notebook's flat, Kinda forgot
to charge it"
"That's ok" Rei
turned her screen so shinji could see it better "I got this much
done, do you thinkj this picture is better or the other one?"
Shinji reached across
and selected one of them "That one looks good"
"I think so too"
They attached the image to the slideshow and Rei started typing some
lines to explain the picture, "Are you going to let me do some work
on it?"
Rei stopped for a
second "You can tell me write to write if you wish"
Shinji grabbed her hand surprising Rei "No I want to do some work as well" Rei blushed slightly at his touch, And by how close they were
Shinji was jus about to
say something else when the apartment door opened and his mum dragged
a very drunk Gendo inside
Gendo looked at the
children and smirked noticing Shinji was holding Rei's hand, He
instantly gave him a thumbs up "Wahoo go son.. GO FOR GOLD!"
"SHUT UP GENDO" Yui
shouted dragging him into the lounge room
Shinji looked at his
hand still holding Rei's and turned a deep shade of Red
"Uh… Sorry" he
still didn't let go, It was Yui's turn to speak about it
"What's going on
here?"
If it was possible
Shinji would have gone even redder, Rei was already blushing heavily
"Shinji, you can let go now"
"uh right" he let
go of her hand "Sorry"
Yui smiled before Gendo
sat up "So when did you make a move Shinji boy? Im so proud of you"
Before Yui or Shinji
could say something Gendo passed out again
"Umm I should go"
Rei stood up and started packing away her things
Shinji stoped her "No
its ok Rei, We can continue the assignment upstairs"
Rei looked at the boy
of her dreams "No I should be getting back home, otherwise my step-mother
will be worried sick"
He thought for a second
"Yeah I guess your right" he helped her pack her stuff away "I
will see you at school tomorrow Rei"
She nodded and walked
out of the lounge room, Before she exited she said goodbye to Yui and
left
"Don't move from
that spot Shinji, I'm going to put your father to bed and I want to
have a talk to you"
Shinji nodded and Yui
started to drag Gendo upstairs 'I hope she isn't mad' he
thought 'Wait a second why am I in trouble!..'
He remembered the feeling when he was holding Rei's arm 'Why didn't I notice that before?'
He heard a crash from upstairs and his father mumble 'did she blush or was it my imagination?'
Just then Yui walked back into the lounge room and sat in front of Shinji
"So, When did it
happen?" She sounded excited
"Umm, uh what?"
Shinji asked trying to lie
"You and Rei, I knew
it would happen one day, So when did it happen?"
Shinji looked around
the room noting the escape routes
"Don't bother
kiddo, I have locked all the doors and windows" She smirked as she
sat back in the chair
"Danm" Shinji defeately leant back in his chair "Its not what it looked like, Rei wanted to do all of the typing and I tried to stop her"
Yui nodded in
understanding "That still doesn't explain why you were holding her hand, and it
doesn't explain you continuing to hold it and you and rei blushing"
"She was blushing!"
Shinji acted really surprised at that
Yui groaned "Are you
stupid? She likes you!"
He looked at the coffee
table "I didn't know she did, God I'm so blind!"
"It's understandable, But what do you feel towards her?"
"Well I do like her
but.." he got cut off "But what?"
"I don't know, She
is pretty and I guess I'm just nervous" He said just barely
higher then a whisper
Yui smirked "No need
to worry Shinji, I can help you but first you better go chase her
down before she gets home"
He looked at his mum
"Why?"
Yui sighed "Because
Ritsuko said that if Rei was to try again and she didn't get you,
That she would give up"
Shinji's eyes tripled
"Are you serous?"
"Yeah" Yui nodded
to further impact her statement
"Oh crap, I got to go mum!" With that Shinji took off after Rei.
"Ok, be careful!" 'I'm such a genius' Yui did a little twirl and picked up the phone
"Hi is Naoko there?"
"Hi Mrs Ikari,
I'll just get her"
"Hello this is
Naoko"
"Hey its Yui, Listen
I think Shinji and Rei might be finally admitting they're feelings
to each other"
Silence….
"Are you sure!"
"Well yeah.. I just
caught them holding hands just now, Rei left obviously embarrassed, I
just told shinji to chase her down cause Ritsuko said that Rei would
give up if he didn't pick up on it"
"I see"
"So tell Rits about
it"
"Will do, So I
guess you wanna bet too?"
"Yeah why not, 10000
yen says My son Shinji will ask her out tonight"
"Your on"
Click
'you better boy' Yui sat on the couch waiting
-----------
'Danm where is she?' Shinji was running towards the Akagi residence ' I should have caught up to her by now'
A Car driving slowly
caught his eye, he then noticed Rei walking beside it "REI!"
Rei looked behind her
"Sorry I can't speak anymore, Give Mr Yoko my regards"
"Yes maim" the car
drove off
Shinji caught up
moments later "Rei, who was that?"
"Oh they were
reporters, They wanted to know if any stories were worth writing
about here"
Shinji nodded and
looked at the fleeting car
"Why are you here shinji?" she was feeling abit giddy
'oh that… how do I say this?' "Rei about before I…"
