FFML DRAFT
PLEASE DO NOT REDISTRIBUTE
"Ready to go to heaven?" Rei asked. Shinji nodded without speaking.
Rei slid on top of Shinji and straddled his legs. Shinji reached up,
grabbed her breasts, and kneaded them between his fingers.
Shinji gasped as Rei lowered herself onto his lap. His split second
of ecstasy was interrupted by a shout.
"Rei, what the fuck are you doing!" a shocked Ritsuko screamed.
Startled Rei and Shinji both looked over to see Rei's sister
standing in the doorway to the family room. Shinji lost his voice, but
Rei didn't. "I'm fucking my boyfriend, what does it look like?! Get the
hell out of here, sis!!"
"You stupid little brat! Do you want to get pregnant again?"
Shinji was, to say the least, shocked.
Ritsuko walked over and pulled Rei off Shinji's... mighty oak.
Since she wasn't exactly careful when doing it, Shinji cried out in pain
and grabbed his leaning tower of penis.
"I can't believe after what that bastard Hasamoto did to you that
you'd get into another relationship with some horny, little dickhead!"
Ritsuko yelled.
Rei glared at her sister. "Shut the fuck up! Shinji's not like
that! He's nice and would never hurt me."
Shinji was still so shocked by the revelation that Rei had a child,
that he hadn't regained motor control. He just stood still and tried to
follow the argument in front of him, forgetting that he was naked.
"He's a boy isn't he? They're all alike, Rei! He'll fuck you, get
you pregnant, and then dump you!"
"Shut up. Just because your love life sucks, doesn't mean that
every boy is like that!" Rei yelled back at her sister. "Besides! He has
a condom on!" She gestured to Shinji's still covered penis.
"Oh, I'm so damn proud of you for using a condom!" Ritsuko pulled
her arm back as if to hit Rei.
Regaining his motor control, Shinji leapt between Rei and Ritsuko.
"Don't hit her!" he screamed.
Ritsuko glared at Shinji. "You shut up! You have a lot of nerve to
fuck my little sister with that little twig of yours!"
Shinji fumed. "Better than fucking an old hag like you!" he
snapped. He regretted it as soon as Ritsuko grabbed him by his
condom-covered penis and dragged him towards the door. Shinji was
screaming in pain the whole way.
"Get out! If you ever see my sister again, I'll make sure you can
never fuck another girl... ever!" Ritsuko yelled as she shoved Shinji
out the door.
Shinji swore a blue streak and pounded on the door. Then he finally
noticed he was naked. "Oh... crap!" He pounded on the door some more,
but then as doors started to open, her realized that he should get out
of there fast. He ran down the hall, trying to hide his privates. As he
ran, various people stuck their heads out their doors and watched the
nude boy run by.
One older woman smiled as Shinji passed her. "Gee, it used to be
you only saw streakers in the park." Her thoughts were of the tall dark
haired boy that she had seen days earlier in a nearby park. <What a
young stud. I'd ride that baloney pony any day.>
Her little daughter poked her head out, interrupted her mother's
fantasies, and asked, "Mommy, what was that big long thing?"
Her mother blushed, then tried to find the right words. "Umm...
well that is... an oak tree. All boys have them." She frowned after
saying the words. <Why the heck did I call it an 'oak tree'?>
"What are they used for?" the child asked, innocently.
"Well, ones like that can make mommy really happy," the woman said,
ushering her confused daughter back inside their apartment.
Inside her apartment, Rei was calmly redressing and ignoring her
sister's incessant scolding. When she finished, she gathered up Shinji's
clothes.
"Rei, what am I going to do with you? I don't want you to end up
pregnant again," Ritsuko said.
"Shut up, Sis. You're not my mother."
Ritsuko flinched. "No, but Mom and I love you and don't want to see
you ruin your life."
"She's not my mother, either!" Rei screamed and then shook her head
sadly. "Damn it, I'm not you and Shinji is not Kouzou! Or Hiroshi. Or
Yuu. Or Meriru. Or..."
Ritsuko interrupted Rei. "Stop changing the subject! This is about
you and that little walking cock!"
"Stop saying bad things about Shinji! He's nice and kind and would
never hurt me!" Rei shouted.
"They all are until they get into your pussy, then they change."
"Shut up. I love Shinji!"
Ritsuko shook her head sadly. "You can't possibly know what love is
at fourteen, Rei. Please just go to your room. We'll talk again after we
both calm down."
Rei looked ready to continue the fight, but then realized that it
would be pointless. She stomped down the hall to her bedroom.
Ritsuko sat down and cradled her head in her hands. "Oh god, Rei...
why do you have to be so much like me?"
-E- -V- -A-
In the theater, Asuka was sitting cross-legged on the floor and
munching on some popcorn. "Damn, this is getting good. Looks like Rei is
really screwed up in this universe."
"Unfortunately, she won't get screwed tonight," Rei said, sadly
watching her other self as she cried into her pillow.
Misato could be seen in the background, tearing up pictures of
Kaji.
"Misato's being two timed, Rei's a slut, and Shinji is running
around naked. Looks like I'm the only normal one in that universe."
Shinji came out of his trance and glared at Asuka. "Dammit, Asuka!
Just shut up! Don't you have any compassion for others?" he shouted. He
looked over at Rei and frowned. "I'm sorry, Rei. I wanted to make a
world where everyone could be happy. I guess that's a fantasy."
"It's okay."
"No. Not after what my father did to you. This isn't fair." Shinji
grabbed a handful of storyboards that showed his perfect world on them
and began to tear them.
Rei quickly grabbed his hands and stopped him just in time to keep
Shinji's world from collapsing in on itself. "Don't."
"But this world's a bust... I'll find a different way to make
everyone happy."
"It's okay. I don't mind a little pain if she can find happiness in
the end with you," Rei said softly, looking into Shinji's eyes.
"Are you sure?" Shinji asked and received a nod from Rei. Just as
he was about return his trance, he grabbed the popcorn out of Asuka's
hands. "And I've told you not to eat MY popcorn, Asuka!" He took a
handful of the popcorn and ate it then threw the rest in the trash. His
eyes became vacant again as he returned to his contemplation of his
perfect world, which was not so perfect anymore. Assuming it ever was
perfect, that is.
Rei exhaled, as if relieved.
"Doesn't matter... he'll figure out that his life sucks no matter
what universe he is in," Asuka mentioned.
Rei snapped her head around. "Shut up!" she yelled.
Asuka recoiled at the outburst from the normally calm Rei.
-E- -V- -A-
Misato walked slowly through the park with the latest in a string
of beers clasped in her hand, barely looking where she was going. In
fact, several times she hit a pole or trash can. She kept picturing the
interview she saw with Kaji and his 'fiancee'. "That two timing jackass!
How dare he propose to me when he already had a fiancee! Hic!"
She continued her rants, some aloud and some silent, as she walked.
She was so preoccupied that she didn't see the person who barreled into
her and knocked her over. The two figures crashed to the ground. "Shit!
Jackass, look where you..." She trailed off as she saw who had ran into
her. "Shinji?"
Shinji looked up from between Misato's breasts, which was where his
head had landed. "Misato?" He gasped and slid off his teacher. "Um,
sorry..."
Misato finally got a good look at Shinji. "What the f... hic...
fuck is the matter with you boys! Always running around nak... nak...
without clothes on!!"
Shinji gasped and covered himself with his hands. "Err... well...
it's a long story."
"I bet it is. Jeez, why are men such sexy... sex starved maniacs?"
Shinji had the feeling she wasn't talking about him anymore, but
considering his current state of dress, he decided to not say anything.
"My god, you even have a condom on! Hic! What a little pervert!"
Misato grabbed Shinji's penis and pulled the condom off. "Little boy's
shouldn't play with fire, Shinji."
"I'm not a little boy!" Shinji screamed.
Misato turned around and chuckled. "No, maybe you're not. Too bad,
that means you're just like all of those other men out there." A tear
rolled down her cheek. She looked down at her hand and felt the condom
between her fingers. "Hmmmm... maybe I should give Kaji a... hic...
taste of his own medicine. Shinji?" She turned around and saw that
Shinji had already run off, missing a once in a lifetime chance. She
shrugged, took another swig of beer, and started walking aimlessly
again.
-E- -V- -A-
"Looks like Shinji ran off too fast! He missed his chance to fuck
Misato," Asuka said, between chuckles.
"Shut up, Asuka!" Misato screamed.
Asuka frowned. "Third Impact is really starting to bite."
"I'm so sorry to spoil the end of the world for you," Misato
muttered. She grabbed another picture of Kaji from the Xerox machine and
ripped it in half.
-E- -V- -A-
"Blam! Blam!" Kensuke called out holding a stick in front of him as
it was a rifle. Then he rolled partway down the hill and then sprang to
his feet and aimed his 'weapon'. "Blam! Blam!" Suddenly he clutched his
chest, fell to the ground, and fell the rest of the way down the hill.
As he reached the bottom he collided with something and went spinning
into the nearby lake.
Kensuke flapped around for a few seconds in the deep water and
then managed grab the edge of the embankment. He looked around looking
for the person he crashed into.
"Damn, it! Look where you be going! Hic!"
"Misato? I'm sorry, I was just..." Kensuke said, then paused. Not
wanting to say he was playing war, he just said, "I just fell."
Misato pulled herself out of the lake and held out a hand for
Kensuke. Kensuke reached up, grabbed her hand, and was pulled out of the
cold lake. Then his glasses fogged over when he got a perfect view of
Misato's breasts through her wet blouse. The water was apparently very
cold, since her nipples stood out clearly.
"Well, at least you're not naked," Misato muttered, looking around
for her can of beer. She spotted it floating in the lake. "Shit, that
was full."
"Huh?" Kensuke finished wiping his glasses off and squeezed some
water out of his clothes.
Misato shrugged. "Nothing. What are you... hic... doing out so
late?"
Kensuke snapped to attention. "I finished my homework!"
"Relax, Kensuke, I'm not your teacher now." Misato started walking.
Not knowing what else to do, Kensuke fell in beside her. "Oh. What
are you doing out so late then?"
"Just thinking. Hic."
<Thinking with beer, it looks like,> Kensuke remarked to himself.
They walked a little further, more by accident than intending to
walk together. "Um, I'll see you at school," Kensuke said suddenly,
wanting to get out of this awkward situation.
Misato frowned. "Can you please just walk some more with me?"
Kensuke was baffled, but agreed. They walked silently, if a little
erratically due to Misato's current state of intoxication, for about
fifteen minutes until they found themselves in front of Misato's
apartment building.
Misato looked at the door to her building for a few moments, trying
to make sure it was hers. Since her eyes wouldn't focus, she couldn't be
sure. "Hmmmm, care to come up?"
Kensuke couldn't believe this was happening. His brain said this
was a mistake and he should be a gentleman and decline, but his hormones
said, "Go for it, you wimp!" His hormones won out. Fourteen-year-old
hormones are very powerful after all.
-E- -V- -A-
Shinji was almost home when he crashed into someone who had been
standing near his apartment building. The two figures rolled over and
crashed into some bushes. "I'm sorry," Shinji gasped, then made to get
away. The voice of the person he'd crashed into stopped him cold.
"Shinji? Isn't it a bit cold to be streaking?" Asuka calmly asked,
taking in the view.
"Asuka! Um... it's a long story."
"No, it looks pretty short to me," Asuka insisted, nodding down
towards Shinji's groin. She smirked/
Shinji seethed and slid his hands over his privates. "What would
you know about that?"
Asuka recoiled. "I know plenty."
"You don't know anything! You always call me a little boy, but
you're just a little girl yourself."
Asuka was startled by Shinji's sudden change in attitude. "What's
gotten into you?"
"Nothing..." Technically he had gotten into something, but was
rudely interrupted. He wasn't about to tell Asuka about that, of course.
"Yeah, right. Shinji, I've been your friend for years, tell me
what's wrong," Asuka said, taking Shinji's hands in hers. This of course
revealed his privates again, which Asuka noticed with a smirk.
Shinji wasn't about to tell her the whole story, but found himself
wanting to talk about it. First, there was something he had to take care
of. "Err... can I get up to my room and get dressed before we talk about
this?"
Asuka grinned. "If you insist, Shinji."
-E- -V- -A-
Later, Shinji was dressed and sitting on the bed next to Asuka. "I
don't know... I liked this person, but things have suddenly become very
complicated."
Asuka tried not to react to that statement. <Oh god, he's fallen in
love with me because of that kiss. Asuka, you just don't know your own
power.>
While Asuka scolded herself, Shinji continued, "All the time I
thought our relationship was progressing well, but suddenly I'm
confronted with this situation... I don't know what to do."
Asuka didn't know what to say at first, but then came to a
decision. "Shinji, I'm sorry that I confused you with that kiss."
Shinji looked up at Asuka. "What?"
Asuka pulled Shinji into a tight embrace. "I like you a lot,
Shinji." She pulled away and then planted a hot, wet kiss on Shinji's
lips. Shinji was shocked first, but then got into the sensation and the
two teenagers started making out on his bed.
-E- -V- -A-
Asuka was chuckling in the theater. "Looks like I'm going to get to
pop Shinji's cherry before you."
Rei frowned. "I think he's already lost his virginity to my other
self."
Asuka huffed. "What? Being inside that little slut's vagina for a
second or two? I don't think that counts. He has to come inside her..."
"She's not a slut," Rei calmly insisted.
"Yea? Look at what she's doing right now!" Asuka pointed to the
smaller picture-in-picture viewpoint. It showed the other Rei in her
bathtub, moaning Shinji's name.
"Asuka and Rei, will you two please shut up! Why the hell do you
two care about this anyway? It's not REAL!" Misato screamed from her
nest of torn up Kaji pictures.
"You seem pretty upset about Kaji cheating on that other Misato..."
Asuka mentioned, smiling.
"I am not!" Misato insisted, pounding her fist against the wall.
This caused a straw figure, which looked suspiciously like Kaji, to fall
out of its hiding place and hang from a noose. A small dagger was stuck
in its side.
Asuka smirked., then turned back to Rei. "Tell you what Rei...
let's have a little bet."
"Bet?" Rei asked, confused.
"Whichever of our alter egos goes all the way with Shinji in his
little fantasy world wins the bet."
"All the way?"
Asuka smirked. "Man, you are hopeless. Okay let me put it this
way: The first girl he comes inside of, wins the bet. Understand?"
Rei nodded. "Yes. Okay, but what is the prize?"
"Good question... material goods aren't really useful since Third
Impact," Asuka said, thinking furiously. "Misato, you have any ideas?"
"Oh, just fuck the real Shinji why don't you?!" Misato screamed,
meaning it as a joke. Misato went back to watching her alter ego doing
something on one of the small viewpoints, not that she'd admit that she
was really watching it. She'd never imagined she could do that with
Kensuke, or any kid. She frowned as a sudden movement from the viewpoint
caught her eye. She titled her head and her eyes widened in amazement.
"Damn..."
Asuka took Misato's remark literally. "Great idea! Winner gets to
fuck this little boy in front of us... for real."
"Deal," Rei agreed, without reservation.
Asuka shook Rei's hand to seal the deal and smirked. <He's almost
there with me already. This is one sure-fire bet.> It never occurred to
her to wonder why she agreed to the prize; she had no desire to have sex
with Shinji, did she?
-E- -V- -A-
Shinji had Asuka's nipple between his lips when Asuka suddenly
gasped and pulled away from him. She closed her blouse and stared at
Shinji. "Damn, what do you think you're doing!"
Shinji bowed his head. "I'm sorry. I couldn't restrain myself."
"Dumpfbacke! I just kissed you. That doesn't give you the right to
do that!"
Shinji frowned. Rei had never complained. <But... Rei was always
the aggressor. Shit, what am I doing! I find out Rei has a kid and I
start fooling around with Asuka?> "I'm sorry, Asuka."
"You should be! Damn, you slobbered all over my breasts! Ick!"
Asuka snapped, wiping her breasts off. Inwardly, she knew she had
enjoyed the sensation, but wasn't ready to go further. Not yet, anyway.
She finished re-buttoning her blouse, then walked to the door. Before
leaving, she looked back and smiled sweetly. "Shinji, let's take this a
little slower. You can take me on a date tomorrow night. Okay?"
"Err... okay."
-E- -V- -A-
"Damn! I screwed myself!" Asuka bellowed, dropping to the floor of
the theater and placing her head in her hands.
"Maybe she will masturbate later, but she doesn't appear to be
doing it now," Rei remarked, straight-faced.
Asuka wasn't sure if Rei was making a joke or not, but she didn't
care. "Just shut up, will you?"
-E- -V- -A-
Kensuke awoke the next morning and opened his eyes. He blinked a
few times and tried to make out what was in front of his face. He
squinted and then recognized it. He recoiled from the breasts lying in
front of him and fell onto the floor making a lot of noise in the
process. This woke Misato up.
Misato rubbed her eyes and saw the naked boy on the floor.
"Kensuke! God, you're just like Shinji and Touji!"
"Huh?" Kensuke looked around for his clothes, but didn't see them
anywhere.
"Always running around naked! And you broke into my apartment,
too!!"
"No, I didn't!"
Misato seemed to notice for the first time that she was also naked,
so she covered herself up quickly. "Slimy little boy... I bet you jerked
off over my naked body!"
"No! What kind of slimy pervert would do that!" Kensuke proclaimed
his innocence. "You invited me up here!"
Misato frowned and scratched her head, trying to remember last
night. Some details started to pop back into her mind. "Oh god, no. How
could I sleep with a little boy."
Kensuke's ego deflated as if popped with a pin.
Misato suddenly realized something, slipped her hands under the
sheets, and checked something. The sticky feeling she found did not
reassure her. "Oh no..." She buried her head in her hands and started to
cry.
Kensuke was torn between comforting her, finding his clothes, and
wanting to fuck her again. He knew the latter wasn't likely to happen
again and he might get punched if he tried the former, so he chose to
look for his clothes.
Misato looked up at hearing him move around. "What are you doing?"
Kensuke looked up and blushed. "Err... looking for my clothes."
"Good. Find them and get out!" Misato snapped.
"Yes, ma'am!" Kensuke snapped to attention, in every possible way
since the sheet had fallen off Mistato's body.
"And don't you dare tell anyone about this!" A pillow was thrown
and hit Kensuke hard. "I mean it. If I hear anything about this, I'll
make Lorena Bobbit look like a saint!"
Kensuke gulped as he recalled the infamous penis butcher of the
last century. He retrieved his pants from on top of a tall cabinet where
they had been thrown. He slipped them on, grabbed his shirt, and ran
from the room. In his haste, he left his shoes and underwear behind.
"And I won't leave anything that can be reattached!" Misato shouted
at the retreating teenager.
After he had gone, Misato held her legs tightly and curled up into
a ball. "Shit, I better not get pregnant." She rocked back and forth for
awhile and concluded, "This is all your fault, Kaji."
-E- -V- -A-
Instead of going to school, Misato decided to confront Kaji. She
didn't want a repeat of last night if she could help it. She also knew
she couldn't face the students. Even if they didn't know what happened,
she did. She stood in front of a little house and pressed the doorbell.
A young woman in a maid's outfit answered it. At first, Misato was going
to punch her, but then she realized it was not Kaji's other fiancee, the
woman named Maya that Misato had seen on the news.
"Can I help you?"
"I'd like to see Mr. Kaji, please," Misato asked, a tremble in her
voice.
"I'm sorry, but he isn't seeing anyone today."
"He'll see me."
"And you are?"
"Misato Katsuragi."
"I'm really sorry, but Ms. Ibuki has specifically said that you are
not allowed."
Misato snapped and landed a backhand to the maid's face, who
crumpled to the ground. She stepped over the prone woman and made her
way inside. "Kaji!"
"Oh god. Misato... this isn't a good time," Kaji said as he came
around a corner. He quickly looked around, to make sure they were alone.
"Please, I'll explain everything... but not here... and not now."
"Not good enough. I want to know now about this little tramp,
Maya,"
"She's not a tramp."
"So that would mean I am?"
Kaji put on a dashing smile and cupped Misato's head in his hand.
"No, you are my most precious love." For a second it looked like he
would kiss her, but then suddenly he shoved her outside and slammed the
door shut.
A bewildered Misato sat on her butt and looked at the closed door
with amazement. She jumped to her feet and started pounding on the door.
"Kaji! You jerk!"
Back inside, Kaji was kneeling over the maid while Maya looked on
from behind him. "What's going on?" Maya asked.
"Just that crazy woman who's been spreading those rumors," Kaji
said, trying to wake up the maid. "She barged in and hurt Hanaki."
Maya frowned. "She had better just be a crazy woman. If I find out
it's true, Daddy will withdraw his support for your campaign."
A dashing smile crossed Kaji's face and he stood up, dropping the
maid's head in the process. He walked over to Maya and took her in his
arms. "You know I love only you. Father or not, I want to spend my life
with you."
Maya smiled and leaned up for a kiss. Kaji obliged her.
-E- -V- -A-
In addition to Misato, Rei didn't show up for school either. So
Shinji sat awkwardly in homeroom and tried to avoid looking at Asuka. He
looked up when Touji and Hikari came in. "Hey, Touji, Hikari."
Instead of saying hi, Touji held up a little wooden sign that read,
'Hi.'
Hikari smirked when he pulled the sign out. She had made a bet with
him yesterday that he couldn't go two weeks without saying anything
vile. She had no idea her boyfriend was inventive enough to come up with
this idea. "Hi, Shinji."
Shinji frowned. "What's with the signs, Touji? Have you been
watching too much Shin Seiki Ranma?"
Touji chose another sign out of his bag and held it up. It read, 'I
have laryngitis that will last for 13 more days'.
Hikari chuckled.
"Exactly thirteen more days?" Shinji asked. Touji nodded. "What
about the Eva championships?"
Touji held up a sign that read, 'No problem'.
"Good, we probably should do some training before we leave."
"Good idea, Shinji. Asuka, is that okay with you?" Hikari asked,
looking at Asuka.
"Um, is Rei still going to be playing with us?" Asuka asked.
"Yes, she is," Shinji declared, then glared at Asuka. "You have a
problem with our FRIEND, Rei, playing with us?"
Asuka blinked, astonished at Shinji's resolve. "No... I guess not."
Shinji relaxed inwardly. "Good."
Touji leaned over to Hikari and held up a sign that read, 'What's
up between Shinji and Asuka?'
"Don't know... you think they had a fight?" Hikari whispered to
him. Touji shrugged. Their discussion was interrupted when Kensuke
walked into the classroom. Actually, it was more like he strutted in.
"Hey, Kensuke, we were just talking about getting some practice in
for the Eva Championships," Shinji said.
Kensuke looked up and adjusted his glasses, in a fashion that he
had decided made him look more manly and mature. It took him a half an
hour in front of a mirror that morning to perfect that manly look.
"Well, Eva is so childish, but I will still play with my dear friends."
The others all looked at him oddly, wondering why he was acting
like some evil madman from a B-movie.
-E- -V- -A-
After school, Shinji waited hidden outside Rei's apartment for her
sister to leave. An older woman was with Ritsuko when she left. Shinji
couldn't be sure that she was Rei's adoptive mother since he had never
met her, but he decided to risk it because he desperately wanted to talk
to Rei. He knocked on the door to Rei's apartment. After a few seconds
the door opened, revealing Rei in a T-shirt and panties.
"Shinji?" Rei brushed her hair out of the way and rubbed her eyes,
she had obviously been crying. Her feelings at seeing him were mixed:
happy that he was there and sad at what she assumed was a visit to break
up with her.
"Rei, I wanted to talk to you."
Rei gulped, then motioned Shinji to come in. "The wicked witch and
my mom are gone. Probably to arrange to move again."
"Move?"
"Yeah, they are talking about moving because of what happened
yesterday. They always overreact."
They reached the living room and sat down on the sofa. "I'm sorry.
It's my fault," Shinji said, after an awkward pause.
Rei smiled weakly. "No, it's mine. I wanted a nice boyfriend so
badly that I pushed too hard and was careless."
"Well, you did use a condom," Shinji said, trying to break the
tension.
Rei chuckled. "I should have gone to a hotel with you instead."
"Maybe. Um, where is your kid anyway?" Shinji asked the question
that had been haunting him since last night.
Rei gasped and looked downward, trying to hide her shame from
Shinji. "Um, I don't have one."
"But your sister said..."
Rei interrupted Shinji. "I... I had a miscarriage after my old
boyfriend beat me up when I told him I was pregnant."
"Oh no... I'm sorry." Shinji tried to say something more, but
couldn't find the words, so he just put his hand over Rei's.
Rei didn't look up. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but after all
that happened in Osaka-2, I knew no one would want a slut like me as a
girlfriend."
"I don't think you're a slut."
"I am. I know it now. I used to do things..." Rei trailed off and
looked down at the floor.
"What things?"
"Bad things. After the miscarriage, I was so confused..." Rei
trailed off again, then seemed to switch thoughts. "If I can't even get
a great guy like you when I put out, what use is there in even trying.
No one's going to want damaged goods."
Shinji smiled. "It may surprise you, but I knew you weren't a
virgin."
Rei looked up. "Really? Damn... what gave me away?"
Shinji burst out laughing. "Well, for one thing no one else I know
could put a condom on so easily without some practice. I know I
couldn't."
Rei allowed herself to smirk. "Oh... Well, I'm glad you came and
let me explain. I hope I haven't been too much of a pain." She got up
and started to walk away, but Shinji grabbed her hand and yanked her
back.
"Are you breaking up with me?"
Rei just stared at Shinji for several seconds. "Huh? You're the one
who's here to break up with me..."
"No, I just wanted to make sure you were okay. Your sister was
pretty mad last night."
A tear rolled down Rei's cheek. "I... I... can't believe you would
want to keep seeing me after knowing my past." The tears were flowing
readily.
"Your past doesn't matter," Shinji said, pulling her into a hug. He
knew it did bug him a bit, but he wasn't going to hold it against her.
Without lifting her head from Shinji's chest, Rei asked, "And if I
say I can't have sex with you?"
Shinji flinched. "I'd be unhappy, but to tell you the truth,
sometimes your forwardness scared me."
"I love you, Shinji."
Shinji stiffened. "I... err... ah..."
"Shhhh, you don't have to say anything. Let's stay like this for a
bit longer." Rei felt Shinji's arms tighten around her and the two
teenagers held the embrace, afraid to let go.
-E- -V- -A-
"Awwwww, how freaking sweet," Asuka said as she looked at the
hugging couple on the viewpoint. Then she smacked the Shinji in the
theater with her on the head.
"God dammit, Asuka! Stop hitting me already!" Shinji yelled rubbing
his head.
"Two timing louse! Leading me on and then running to Rei when I
wouldn't fuck you!"
"Shut up! Who'd want to fuck a bitch like you!"
Asuka recoiled. "Damn, when did you grow a spine?"
Shinji ignored Asuka and looked over at Rei. "Are you sure you want
this world to continue? It looks like you went through hell."
Rei nodded. "It's okay."
"No it's not okay!" Misato snapped and stormed over to Shinji. "How
dare you make a world where Kaji doesn't love me!"
"Misato... I'm sorry, but when I envisioned this world I did think
that Kaji loved you. I don't know what happened..."
"So tear it up then!" Misato screamed, pointing at the storyboards
in front of Shinji.
Shinji glanced at Rei. "I'm sorry, I can't."
Misato came over and pressed her naked chest against Shinji's face.
"Please?"
"Mis...ato?"
"Hey, cut that out!" Asuka screamed, pulling Shinji away by his
penis.
"Owwww!" Shinji screamed in pain. "Will you stop pulling my penis!"
"You know you love it!" Asuka remarked.
"No, you love it! You god damned tease!"
"Who are you calling a tease?!"
"You!"
"Better than that slut Rei!"
Shinji snapped and pulled his arm back, as if to slap Asuka. She
cringed backwards. Shinji's eyes widened as he realized what he had
almost done. "Oh no... Asuka, I'm sorry. I didn't..."
He reached over to assure Asuka that he wouldn't hurt her, but she
slapped his hand away. "Don't touch me. You think you're the only one
who has it tough, don't you. Only your happiness matters. Only you..."
Shinji flinched. "No... I..."
"Go back to your little slut," Asuka turned and walked away into
the darkness.
Shinji dropped to his knees and stared at he ground. "I can't take
this any more."
Rei and Misato came up and each put a hand on his shoulders. "Yes,
you can," Rei said softly.
"You can continue, if you choose to," Misato added.
"Choose. Is it all about my choice? Was Asuka right? Am I just
worried about my happiness?"
Misato knelt down in front of Shinji. "No. You wanted to scrap your
world because you didn't think Rei was happy."
"But..."
Rei knelt down. "Things may not be perfect, but aren't they better
off than what was?"
Shinji nodded, although he was still uncertain if things were
better. "But what about Misato?"
Misato took a deep breath. "As Asuka said, it's your choice. But to
tell you the truth, Kaji never was that faithful to me before." She
seemed to straighten suddenly, as if a great weight had been lifted from
her shoulders. This caused her breasts to stick out further, but that's
not important right now. Neither is the fact that sweat was dripping
from them.
"So you both want this world to continue?" Shinji asked, looking up
at them both.
Rei nodded right away, but Misato's nod was a little slower in
coming.
"Okay, but I hope it doesn't get any worse."
-E- -V- -A-
Rei and Shinji were snuggling together on the couch. "Shinji
there's more about me that you should know."
Shinji ran his hands gently through her hair. "What?"
"Um... after the miscarriage, I guess I was a bit confused and
slept with a lot of boys."
"That's okay."
"And some men."
"That's okay."
"And some women."
Shinji's eye twitched, among other things that twitched. "That's
okay."
"For money and gifts."
Shinji's jaw dropped. "Tha... that's okay."
"I also danced naked in front of the entire male student body at my
last school."
Shinji's body trembled. "That's okay..."
"Some of the girls were there too, I think."
Shinji's mighty oak twitched again. "Th... they were all lucky to
see it. Err... you didn't sleep with all of them, did you?"
Rei blushed. "No..." Shinji visibly relaxed. "Just some of them."
Shinji grew tense again.
Recalling something, Shinji asked, "I thought you said a while back
that you weren't a lesbian?"
"I'm not."
"But you just said..."
"Oh, that was just for the money," Rei said, as if that made it all
right.
"I see." Shinji shuddered.
-E- -V- -A-
Back in the theater, Rei stood staring at the viewpoint. "Okay,
maybe she is a slut," she said calmly.
Asuka smirked. "See, told you so."
"No need to gloat. It just means I'm sure to win the bet," Rei
remarked, confidently.
"Ha, the war's not over until the mighty oak blows its load."
Rei frowned, as if confused. "I was under the impression that the
girl does the blowing?"
-E- -V- -A-
After a few seconds of silence, Shinji asked, "Is that it?"
Rei concentrated. "I think that's the worst of it. Um...
actually... you know the sex cheats in the Eva game?"
"Yes."
"The female Eva bodies are based on mine."
Shinji gasped and then thought about it. "I thought your body
looked familiar."
Rei allowed herself to smile. "Not even the game designer knows
that I modeled for those. By the way..." Her latest confession about her
adoptive mother being the game designer was interrupted by the sound of
the front door opening. Rei jumped to her feet. "Oh shit... my mom and
sister are back!" She quickly grabbed Shinji and pulled him into her
bedroom.
"Damn, what'll we do?" Shinji asked, as he looked around her
bedroom.
A voice called from outside her room. "Rei?!"
"Out the window, quick!" Rei said, pointing.
Shinji dashed for the window and crawled out onto the narrow ledge.
He was going to make his way down, when he heard voices from her room.
Rei sat on the bed, shaking her head. "No! I'm not going to move
again!"
"Rei, it's for the best. Mom is out talking with perspective
employers right now. You have to stop sleeping with every boy you meet,"
Ritsuko said, sitting down by Rei's side.
"I don't!"
"Yeah, right. Then why did I pull you off that little walking cock
last night?" Ritsuko asked.
Outside, Shinji almost lost his temper and said something before he
realized he wasn't exactly in a good position to have an argument with
anyone right now.
"Shut up, Sis! I've only slept with a few guys. You've probably
slept with thousands!" Rei knew she was lying about her own count, but
she knew for a fact that her sister had been with many more guys that
she had.
Shinji chuckled.
Without thinking, Ritsuko replied, "Not when I was fourteen!" Rei
started laughing. When Ritsuko realized what she said, she blushed.
Rei smirked. "Sis, you have no right to call me a tramp when you've
had such a sorted love life yourself!"
Ritsuko's expression softened and she sat down on a chair across
from Rei. "Rei, I don't want you to make the same mistakes I have. Yes,
I was having sex when I was your age. That doesn't make it right."
"I'm sick of everyone telling me what to do with my life. If I want
to be with Shinji, I will!"
"I forbid it!"
Rei stood up and glared at Ritsuko. "I'd wish Mom had never adopted
me! What a sorry excuse for a family this is!"
"Well, I'm so sorry! Maybe you'd want to spend your life in an
orphanage or maybe end it in the wastebasket of some doctor's back
room?!"
"It's got to be better than having a bitch like you around!"
Ritsuko stood up and slapped Rei hard, causing Shinji to flinch at
the sound. "Dammit! I wish I'd never given birth to you!!" she blurted.
Rei's eyes went wide. "Gave... birth... to me?"
Both of the them were so shocked, Rei at hearing that and Ritsuko
at letting the long held secret slip, that they didn't hear Shinji's
startled cry from outside. They also didn't hear it when he slipped from
the ledge and fell three stories into a pile of garbage.
Ritsuko stumbled backwards as she realized what she had just
blurted. "Oh... Rei..." She took a step towards her 'daughter', holding
out a shaky hand.
"I'm your... daughter?" Rei gasped, not wanting it to be true.
"Yes, I'm sorry. I was only fifteen when I gave birth to you.
Mom... my mom... thought it would be better if she raised you."
Rei fell to the floor and stared at the ground, refusing to
acknowledge what she'd just been told. "No... no... you're trying to
trick me."
Ritsuko looked sadly at Rei and fourteen years of lying came to an
sudden end. "I'm sorry, but it's the truth." Tears came to Ritsuko's
eyes as she realized that she could finally tell her daughter the truth.
"I didn't want to give you up, but my Mom didn't want to drag her
families' good name through the dirt, although I never knew what was so
special about the Akagi name that had her so worried. In the end she
paid some corrupt politician to get your birth certificate to read 'Rei
Ayanami' and adopted you. I think she even won some humanitarian of the
year award for her good deed of adopting an orphan."
"No! This can't be... I'm nothing like you!"
"Unfortunately, you are all too much like me. I tried to be a
mother to you and keep you from making the same mistakes that I did, but
you always resisted."
Rei jumped to her feet and shouted. "How could you both lie to me
for my whole life! I hate you!" She ran from her room and down the hall.
Ritsuko started to go after her, but then decided that there wasn't
anything she could say right now that would help. "I love you, Rei." She
slunk to her knees and started to cry. The front door was heard
slamming.
-E- -V- -A-
Asuka, who was dressed in a pretty dress with her face made up,
stood in front of her apartment. She fidgeted and looked at her watch
again. "Where is Shinji?"
-E- -V- -A-
At that moment, Shinji was lying unconscious in a pile of garbage.
In the theater, Shinji was staring vacantly into nothingness. He
trembled as he saw his perfect world start to rot, like a pile of
garbage left in the sun too long. Rei was as his side and held his hand
to comfort him. Asuka was laughing her head off.

"Unit 01, Angel at eleven o'clock."
"But it's only seven o'clock," Shinji quipped.
The computer-controlled voice didn't find Shinji's joke funny, so the
AI program inserted ten Angels around Shinji's Unit 01. It didn't take
long for his Eva to be reduced to a pile of scrap metal and flesh.
