SHIAT! I can't believe that literally MONTHS have passed since I posted the last bonus chapter! I am so offended by MYSELF. If I were you guys, I'd be like "Bitch." in my review! Anyhow, it's taken a lot of self-motivation to get me to write this chapter, and I am doing it mostly because I wanted to alert you that the sequal is up! Yes, the second part in my Alternate Universe Trilogy is up, and it is called Closer to You. Please read that after you finish this chapter!

I'd like to take a moment to thank all of those that reviewed. It's like having a baby, when you look at your inbox and find reviews. I swear, I have never felt as proud as when I was bragging about my reviews to my brother and sister and to my parents and my friends and my teachers and my uncle and grandparents and EVERYONE ELSE available for me to brag at. What a feeling! And while I can't say that it motivated me to write, seeing as I already had the real chapters written and most of the sequal, I CAN say that it motivated me to EDIT and work harder to please you.

At the end of the chapter is a list of those I want to thank. I always liked seeing my username in someone's chapter so I am giving that joy to you!

Anyway...I should get right to the chapter so you guys don't come at me with pitchforks or something.

BONUS CHAPTER 2: Unconventional Fun!

Shinji and Asuka sat up fast at the sound of loud bangs and laughs. They separated immediately, and Asuka groomed herself as Shinji got up to see who was there.

"Shinji." She heard the monotonous voice in the hallway and then the loudest bang yet. Shinji made a sound like "URK!" and she jumped up to see what was happening.

There stood Gendo Ikari, holding his metal suitcase in the doorway, and his wife Yui, surrounded by the bags she had just dropped. In her arms, instead of baggage, was Shinji, looking like he was trying not to breathe so she wouldn't squeeze his organs into mush. "Oh, Shin-chan! We missed you!"

Asuka giggled from the side, covering her mouth with one hand, slightly embarrassed to be intruding in a family moment. "Oh, Asuka." Gendo said blandly. Yui dropped Shinji, who looked grateful, to go hug Asuka.

"Asuka-chan! I hope you took good care of Shinji!" She squealed girlishly. Asuka hugged her back.

"Hai, I did." Asuka smiled and they let go of eachother. "Um, well, I guess I can go now! Bye!" She said, but was pulled back by Yui.

"I don't think you are quite dressed right to go out!"

Asuka looked down and turned completely red. She had forgotten that she was still wearing Shinji's shirt! How mortifying! "Oh, uh, right!" She said. Running out of the room and going to get her clothes.

While Asuka changed in the bathroom, Shinji had to sit with his parents at the dinner table. "So what are you doing back early? I thought you'd be at the convention until dinnertime!"

"We were going to be there until later this afternoon, but they canceled the meetings we were going to be at because a whole bunch of representatives went out to eat together and all got food poisoning." Gendo explained. Shinji nodded.

"So...What did you and Asuka do?"

Shinji looked more awkward than ever. "Eeek!" was his response.

Gendo gave his son 'the look'. "Shinji." He wasn't a man of many words.

Shinji swallowed. "Um, weeeelllll...We had some...friends over..." Shinji muttered, playing with a napkin nervously.

"No." Gendo said.

"Shinji! I know I didn't tell you not to have a party this time, but that's supposed to be ingrained into your brain!" Yui looked moderately angry. "Don't do it again."

Shinji shrank. "Asuka wanted to, so..."

"What?" Asuka re-entered the room, and suddenly felt like twenty bricks' worth of pressure had been placed upon her shoulders. "What did I do?"

Yui put on a mock-furious face. "Asuka! I thought you said you took care of Shinji-chan!"

Asuka was confuzzled. "What are you saying?"

"You shouldn't have blatantly disrespected the rules of society, Asuka!" Yui continued.

Asuka misinterpreted. "Eh! It's my right as a human being to choose who I'm with, not yours or society's!"

Gendo took over. "Well you needn't be with them so much."

Asuka was insulted and Shinji was shrinking. "I can't believe you guys. I thought you LIKED me." She scoffed. "But now it's clear that you'll never accept me if this is your response!"

"Asuka, why are you so upset?" Yui was now also confuzzled.

"I'm sorry I kissed him! Geez! But I can't help that I like him and you should be happy for us!"Asuka yelled at Yui and Gendo defensively.

There was a long moment of resounding silence. "WHOA." Gendo and Yui said at the same time.

Asuka was bright red. "Wasn't that what we were talking about?"

"URM." Shinji grunted. "Not...really."

Asuka looked at Shinji with wide eyes. "Oh." She breathed. "Oops."

"Oops is right young lady–" Gendo began...but was cut off by an overenthusiastic Yui.

"Kissed...Shinji!" She squealed. "Omigod, it finally happened! Thank heavens! We've been waiting on this forever!" She mouthed off with barely more than a breath. Then she gave a lengthy pause. "Well, I would have preferred for it to happen in a supervised time and place, but heck! Whatever's fine with me!" She gasped. "Oh, I have GOT to call Kyoko!"

Gendo watched his wife as she ran off to the phone, then turned back to his son and his gal pal with a blank face. "Sooo...tell me all the juicy details! Spill, girlfriend!"

Shinji promptly died. When they did the autopsy, the reason was too much blood rushing to the face. Poor Shinji. He couldn't help that he was easily embarrassed/mortified!

Asuka went on to live a lonely and fruitless life. She died a widow without her Shin-kun, leaving behind her little wealth to the HCA, or Homeless Cats Association.

Yui went into a severe bout of depression of the fact that she killed her son. She eventually overdosed on anti-anxiety pills. She thought Shinji's ghost was haunting her.

Gendo became even MORE withdrawn. He eventually came up with a plan to be re-united with his beloved wife and son, using teens as tools of war against monsters. Even in an alternate universe, Gendo can't catch a break.

Oookay, none of that happened. But Shinji and Asuka were forced to "spill" to Gendo and Yui, which no dating teens want to do with anyone but their BF 4 eva! However, they later went out on their first date and everything went perfectly peachy! They will probably be together till death and beyond, but THAT, my friends, is for another day, another time.

Thanks for tuning in!

—You can check out the second installment, Closer to You, on my profile. Please read that RIGHT NOW! Yay!—

OMG! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! It is OVER. I have completed the first part of my epic AU series! I am THRILLED. I am BEYOND pleased. I had a semi-orgasm writing the final word, which stupidly, happens to be 'in' (exclamation mark!). But I've seen worse, so I am largely satisfied, even though my last sentence has nothing to do with the story at all!

I'd like to now re-thank everyone who forced me to write these bonus chapters and kept my self-esteem on a severe high. There is no order to this list. I love even you one-liners (no effort given but raises my review count!)! Please enjoy searching for your name, and apologies for missed names...Sniper-of-Death, Onono, dennisud, Neferius, Rahhel, Frost-EVA-04, Okutai, keyblade-00, Genesis D. Rose, kaiser-of-chaos-armageddon, Oblivion882, aznxjth, ComboBreaker, RahXephon, Dragonmage182, the.Merines, theclerk2, Ragnaroek, Genesis D. Rose, andrew, GroveWolf, JustSlightlyDisturbed, Eclipse1, Argus456, WebKnight, Draknal, DarthRayRay, Shinji Ikari01, Master Disaster 4:37 a.m., ..., PanchoVilla , Supercat

This is not the end, my lovelies! There is the sequel which I have recently started posting. That story is not finished, so please feel free to give suggestions! I'd love to see the whole list of people above head on over to Closer to You, for more of my rare, AU goodness!

Last but not least, thank you to the four computers that had a big part in making this beautiful work of art.

—My first computer...your colors were off whack and you gave me a killer headache, but you were my first personal computer and the first time I felt that I could write something like this.

—My second computer...you were super fantastic in the color department but you shut down almost as often as the first one. However, the majority of this story was written, lost, re-written, and edited on you. That's why you r0x0r my s0x0xrs, babe.

—My third computer is brand spanking new with no complications ('cept there's no Photoshop!) And absolutely gorgeous graphic features. However, only this last chapter was written on you and nothing else. Boohoo. It would have been SO much easier!

—And last but CERTAINLY not least is the internet computer! You are the only computer I can use to post my stories, though you are not my personal computer. While I have little time on you, I still wholly appreciate your percentage of importance in this!

And lastly, thank YOU reader. For...reading! Now go review and I'll love you forever.

GOODBYE! TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES! COME AGAIN! -loves-
