First, allow me to explain. The first work is something I've been 
tweaking for a while. The words explain the visual effect I get 
listening to a song (Metallica's Turn the Page). And yes, I know that
Metallica's version is a remake. Anyways, it's a really cool effect 
if you listen to the song while reading. If you want a copy of the 
lyrics, so you can better understand, let me know. If you think this
idea is horrible, let me know (but watch the flames lest Tybalt-sama
smite you with a temp-ban). 

After it is a song fic. Pretty basic stuff. I just got inspired.
I put it at the end cause I know I ignore songfics sometimes, so 
ya don't have ta read it if ya don't wanna.

C&C is wanted, especially on the strange new idea, which I'll 
probably be told isn't new, or isn't good, or what have you. Let's
see how many times those lines are included in replies...

EVA belongs to Gainax, ADVision, and lots of other people.
Turn the Page belongs to Metallica and probably other people too.
I'm not trying to make money off of this. It's purely for my own
amusement. Please don't send demons (ie lawyers) after me.
Please don't flame me for the lawyer joke.
Please don't tell me to stop saying please. 

Metallica- Turn the Page

Close-up of Shinji's face, sunset in the background.

Shinji walking down an empty street of Tokyo-3 late at night.
Streetlights. Cars pass. 
Thinks of Misato and Asuka- Smiling angelicly 
"I mustn't run away�"

Flashbacks of EVA 01
Fighting, killing.
Watching friends fall.
Blood everywhere. 
The Pain
"I don't want to be a pilot"

Shinji faces down an angel, view pans around him.
Standing in Tokyo-3.
Walking into the sunlight, against the enemy.
Stare down.
Puts his hand on his prog knife and thinks.
"For you�"

After EVA 01 went berserker, consumed an angel.
Tired, hungry. Lonely.
Walks into the commisary. 
Whispers. Stares. Everyone stares.
Tries to ignore it, not run away. Hands clenched.
'I won't run away�"

"Did you hear?"
"-don't think he's stable?"
"-can't believe�"
"-monster�"
Shinji walks out, head hung low.
'They wouldn't understand.'
'No one understands'

Facing another angel.
Looks at the downed Units 00 and 02. 
Frowns. 
A small tear dissolves into the LCL.
Grabs prog knife and rushes.
"No!"
Clash.
BOOM.

BERSERKER.
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
EVAs, geofront, destroyed.
Shinji, face contorted in rage.
"Asuka!" "Rei!" "Misato!" 
Nooooooo!"
"I'LL KILL YOU! YOU SON OF A BITCH, I'LL KILL YOU!"

Shinji, at "home." Resting in bed.
SDAT on his ears.
Unfamiliar Ceilings. Always unfamiliar ceilings.
Thinks of Asuka
'Stupid Shinji. Stupid Shinji. Stupid shinji stupid
shinjistupidshinjistu-'
"Why?"
Rei's eyes.
"Why must I do this!?"
Rei's eyes. 
"Answer me!"
Rei's eyes.
"please"
Rei- "It is who you are."

Flashes scene to scene to scene. Shinji fighting in EVA 01. 
Killing. Death. Violence. 
Broken arms.
Broken minds.
Broken hearts.
A world in chaos.
"Is it really me?"
Walking to school with Asuka.
Talking with Toji and Kensuke.
The rewards
Praise from Misato.
Praise from his father.
His father. 
Anger. 
Sadness. 
Confusion.
People laughing.
Children playing. 
A world, safe.
"Maybe, it's not too bad�"
Sun setting behind Shinji, striking a somewhat heroic pose. 


I was sitting around listening to music, and this came to mind. I 
hope everyone enjoys it. Evangelion is the property of Gainax, 
ADVision, and who knows who else. (Show of hands?)
Two Princes by the Spin Doctors probably belongs to them. 
Oh, and I do like the idea of a Shinji-Asuka match, but Asuka's just 
so easy to pick on. 

To the tune of Spin Doctors' Two Princes
Sung by Rei to Shinji.
Competition between her and Asuka.

One two, pilots here before you,
That's what I said now,
Pilots, pilots who adore you,
Just go ahead now,
One has, insults in her comments,
And that's so sad now,
This one, says she'll protect you from rockets,
Though she'd end up dead now

That one's got a mind disorder,
That's what I said now,
Got some, big chip upon her shoulder,
And in her head now.
You marry her, your father will ignore you,
And how about that now,
You marry me, your father will disbowel you,
Chop off your head now,

Marry her, Marry me, 
I'm the one who loves you Shinji can't you see,
I ain't got future or family tree, 
But I'm the one who never bitches don't you see,
I'm the one who never bitches don't you see now,

If you, want to call me Rei, 
Just go ahead now,
And if you, don't want to run away,
Then just don't go now,
And if you, want to buy me flowers, 
Just go ahead now,
And if you, don't want to talk for hours,
Then just don't talk now.

Oh Shinji, 
Just go ahead now,
Oh, just, just, go ahead now, just go ahead now.
Oh Ikari, 
C'mon forget Gendo and marry.
