In the theater....
Brian: Okay, first off, sorry for missing the rest of the rewrite,
it's just been a hectic time for me. But this one part in part ten
kina grabbed my attention.
Erica: Soooo....we're gonna MST it!
Julia: Roll it!

<Short synopsis of the "Shinji's Angels" sub-storyline>
Julia: Gahhh....*Rei* shot Karou???
Brian: And appearantly Shinji wasn't too happy about it.
*************************************************
On the outside of the city, a single figure sat on the grass and stared
at the sky. Shinji did not know what to do about anything. He remembered
the eleventh angel when Misato had asked them all if they wanted to
write down wills. The only difference here was that he had a much
stronger feeling of doom than before.
Julia: Feeling of doom?
Erica: Stronger?
Brian: Either WH has mutated into Anno-Baka or.....
Ryouga: The world is a dark and lonely place
Erica: Okay, who let the "Lost Boy" in?
True, he had made up with Rei about Kaworu, but some things just would
not let him go and he continued to avoid her. Although he still
remembered Kooriichi asking him to help Rei, it was now something he
could not do. He put his face to his knees and shook his head. It was
the same thing all over again. He was running away and there was nothing
he would do about it.
Brian: And just when we thought Shinji was growing a backbone....
Erica: You do have to admit, there is a certain kinda of charm to
it, reminding us that this, unfortunealy, is still Eva.
<Ryouga starts to glow>
He turned at the sound of another pair of footsteps and saw Rei walking
up to him, looking almost the exact way she did when he first saw her.
Emotionless.
Brian: <nasal voice> Houston, we have a problem.
Julia: Geez, talk about full circle.
In response, he turned his back to her.
"Somehow, I am not surprised." Rei whispered and sat a few feet from
him. "Shinji-kun. Concerning what is to happen... will you listen to me
momentarily?"
Shinji wanted to run to anywhere but there, but he nodded nonetheless.
"For all that I can remember, I had no ambitions whatsoever, other
than doing what I was ordered to. Although you did not fare that much
better than I did, I found myself envious of your position. You have
much more than I will ever know. And many times I wished I were in your
place."
All three: <facefault>
Shinji turned to her in surprise. She continued regardless. "Before I
came to know you, I always wondered why everyone acted the way they did.
How I was different from them in almost every respect. It is sad to say
that I know why now. Even to be as pained in your heart as you were and
are, I would give everything to know what it is like. To understand how
the human heart works and goes.
E and J: <sniff, sniff>
"Though now, things are much different than they were when I first
recall. Meeting you brought so many things that I cannot understand at
all. I now have that desire to know what it all means. Even Commander
Ikari knows the changes that I have gone through. I have asked him about
it on many occasions and he has not answered me, he tells me to find the
answers for myself... but I am not sure how to do that.
Brian: Whoa, Gendou actually gave good advice.
<Ryouga glows even brighter>
"To put it simply Shinji-kun," she looked directly into his eyes,
crawled forward, and took his hand in both hers. "Please... help me. I
want to understand what it all means, and somehow, I believe that you
are the one who can help me."
All: 0_0!!!
Shinji looked down at his hands in Rei's, then he looked back up to her
to see how her eyes were truly pleading for his help. Stammering he
replied, "But... how can I help? I mean, if I can't even help myself,
how can I hope to help anyone else?" Not being able to handle it, he
turned away.
Erica: Jeez, and I thought he was depressed eariler.
Brian: Well, he did just loose his best friend.
Julia: And how long did you cry at the aniversary of your
hometown's destruction?
Erica: <sweatdrop> Well...okay, I see your point. Gomen, WH.
<Ryouga glows even brighter, causing sweatdrops to form on the
reviewers heads>
She let go of his hands and looked down, "I have no answer for that.
All I can say is that maybe you do know, but you do not at the moment."
Shinji looked back to her. "Can you promise me something?" He turned his
head to her direction slightly as she continued.. "Promise me that you
will return from tomorrow. I do not care if I do not, but please tell me
you will."
Erica: <sigh> Right back to where she started.
Julia: It is kinda depressing, isn't it?
Brian: And speaking of depressing....<points to Ryouga> I think we
may have a problem here.
Shinji was now beyond shock at her last statement. After all that has
happened, she is ready to throw it all away? {It's because how bad
you're treating her you dork! She had something with you and now with
the way you are now, she's got nothing left anymore. She doesn't care if
she lives now, just like when you first came. Hope you're happy.} A
faint voice said from the back of his head.
Erica: And the voice of reason *finally* speaks up!
Julia: I thought it was his libido?
B and E: <facefault>
Erica: Jules...you made a *hentai* joke???
Julia: Was there anything wrong with that?
Brian: Err....no, it was just so....unexpected.
Were it not for the small internal argument, he would have seen Rei
step up from the grass and begin to leave. He did not know what to do,
but the thought of just leaving her like this was driving him crazy.
Therefore, without thinking, he said, "Rei!"
She stopped and turned to him as he said, "I... I promise and... I'm
sorry. For everything I said." Hearing those words made a small smile
appear on her face, she mouthed the word 'arigatou' back to him as she
continued back to her home. Seeing her smile, the same way she did when
he opened her entry plug at the incident with the fifth angel, it made
him feel a bit better to know that things were being set right.
All three: <openly bawling>
Turning back to lay on the ground, he murmured, "You're such an idiot."
He said to himself as he stared into the sky. Yet, that self-resentment
soon vanished as he recalled her saying thank you and the thought that
he was capable of giving something good to another. But he still felt
like an idiot nonetheless.
End of Chapter 10
Erica: Well, that was unexpected.....
Julia: SHIT!!! DUCK!!!!!
<The three reviewers duck under their seats as Ryouga raises his
hands to the ceiling.>
Brian: Catty, emergency teleport, now!!
<Ryouga dissappears, and reappears outside the theater...just in
time.>
Ryouga: PERFECT SHI SHI HOKODAN!!!!!!!
<BOOM!>
<Inside the theater:>
Erica: And getting back to the story....
[Warhammer comes out again.]
WH: {Revision notes} I still wanted to keep the possible Touji/Asuka
couple in this because I intend to continue their story in another fic I
will write once I get back.
Brian: And why are you leaving? I don't think you quite explained
that yet.
The only other things I have to say is that with Rei's 'evolution', so
many new things are coming to her. Therefore, seeing Gendou in Shinji
somewhat, I think she has developed a small dependency on the younger
Ikari. I am not really sure if this a good thing or not. The good part
being that she can learn what it is like to live like others, the bad
thing is that it might digress into something so pitiful Rei would be
better off alone. I certainly hope I am not doing anything wrong.
Erica: Ehh, you never know.
Julia: And with that, we say.....
Brian: Nice job WH. Even better than before.
Erica: Too bad a certain review syndicate didn't agree.
Brian: Oh? You read that too?
Erica: Yep.
Brian: Oh well. Good job and keep writing.
Julia: MY BIKE!!!
Erica: What???
Julia: That #%$#@! &^^%% depression spewing %(%((&^*(? lost pig boy
trashed my hoverbike!!!!
Erica: <looking out> Ouch. You want a ride? We can stop at the
beach? <wink>
Julia: But the beach is.....oh...I get it.
Brian: Guys, I'm still here?
Erica: Easily fixed. Catty?
<Brian is teleported out...side. The theater is, BTW, on the fifth
floor>
Brian: <reaching in Hammerspace> Good thing I packed that parachute.
Anyway, again, good job WH.
Ja ne!!!!
