Shinji woke up and opened his eyes. He could feel Rei's
body next to him. He smiled in remembrance. This was the perfect
start to an almost guaranteed perfect day. Kissing Rei lightly on
the forehead, he slipped out of the covers and gathered up his
clothes. Slipping them on he proceeded out of the First Children's
Spartan quarters.

Sliding past the knowing gaze of his father he gently
walked through the door to his and Asuka's room. Asuka stirred,
but did not awaken. Shinji tiptoed into the bathroom and stripped.
Opening the shower door, he stepped in feeling the cold creep into
his uncovered skin. He turned the knob and soon the cold dissipated
as the heat enveloped him. His feeling in those brief seconds was
something like an anti-matter/matter explosion in each skin cell.

After reveling in his cocoon of warm water for nearly half
an hour, there came a knocking at the door. Shinji turned the water
off and opened the shower door. The knock hadn't come from the
bathroom door, but the shower door. Asuka stood there naked, as
usual, glowing smile plastered across her face. Shinji waved and
made some small chat as she gave him a brushing kiss before stepping
into the shower and closing the door. He probably would have to give
in one day and just sleep with her. That seemed to be the only thing
on her mind usually.

Shinji meandered around to a chest of drawers. Opening them
one at a time, he withdrew an item from each. Underwear, pair of
socks, under shirt (blue), white dress shirt, and black slacks. He
put them on, ran a few fingers through his hair and grabbed his back
-pack. Rei stood ready outside as he slipped on his shoes and walked
out. Asuka ran out of the bathroom and began grabbing clothes from
piles of this and that. She began hopping after Shinji and Rei
tugging at her left shoe.

Together now, the trio walked along the streets of Tokyo-3
meeting up with Hikari, Touji, and Kensuke somewhere down the line
on their way to be "educated." Asuka kept pinching Shinji's but,
much to the subtle annoyance of Rei, and the amusement of the others.

The day was rather boring except when Asuka attempted to
give Shinji oral sex in the boy's bathroom, and Shinji was followed
by many girls all wanting him because he was now an "item" with
Asuka. Not that he was, he wanted nothing to do with her, and shared
pining glances with Rei as Asuka hung off of him with her hand in his
pants.

Nothing happened when he got "home." The trio separated and
went their separate ways. Shinji to sit and think, Rei to do
whatever it is she does in her spare time, and Asuka to probably
sleep with someone or other. After Kaworu committed happy suicide
there had been no Angel attacks. The Eva pilots had been doing
whatever they wanted pretty much after SEELE was defeated and the
Third Impact was averted.

Something inside told Shinji that they had won. Won. WON. He
rolled the seemingly foreign word on his tongue. Something about the
very concept was disturbing. He wasn't so used to failure that when
success came he would dismiss at as impossible and look for a reason
to be depressed... Or was he?

The universe turned black for just a moment and some kind of
revelation hit Shinji. It began dissipating as Shinji struggled to
hold onto it like after one has woken up and tries to remember a
dream. He gazed around the room nothing was different, but it felt...
wrong. He was encroached upon by depression when there wasn't any
reason for it. He figured it had to do with this feeling. He shook
off a sudden split-second memory of total destruction that didn't
seem to be his own, and yet something rang true about it.

Shinji snapped awake as he was pushed onto the bed by a once
again naked Asuka. He hadn't noticed her until his head hit the pillow
and he had the sensation of "wrongness" once more. It almost felt as
though he was looking for something in his peripheral vision that he
couldn't see straight on, but knew was there.

"Asuka.." he started, "Must you? I'd rather not right now...
Maybe we could... uh... Talk?" He pushed her up and off him.

She sneered at him. "Talk? You're turning down a chance to do
me in order to talk? You never talk with your pale blow-up doll." She
hated that damn blue-haired robot. "You just don't want anything to
do with me because I have more guts then Rei. You can't dominate at
any other point in your life so you choose to do it through sex." She
made a sound of disgust. "Now I'm too pissed off to screw you,
Asshole." She turned around in headed for the door when she felt a
hand on her shoulder.

"Asuka, do you have the feeling that life isn't the way it
should be? That maybe we.. we aren't who we should be?" Shinji sighed,
but and began to retract his statement, "This is stupid.. sorry to--"

The redhead cut him off and replied, "No... I think you have
something. I... I... I don't feel right either..." She began to slump,
as if the admittance weighed heavy on her. "Also... I've been having
strange.. visions... Are you having something similar?"

He nodded solemnly, "Yes, events that have never taken place
have begun to play in my mind. It's getting stronger, too. Do you
think we should tell my father?"

She laughed as she responded, "Nah, he'd probably just chalk
it up to the mentality of a soldier in peace or some such crap." She
laughed further and harder until it was apparent she wasn't laughing
at all, but crying heavily as she crumpled into a compact form on the
carpet. "Peace? PEACE??? We're not supposed to have peace!!! We're
not supposed to be happy, carefree children... THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT
HAPPENED!!!" She continued conversing, but the sobbing racking her
made inaudible whatever was spoken.

Shinji reached down and held Asuka tightly. Another voice, a
different voice shouted in his mind about the "wrongness" of this
situation. He gasped as he realized that the voice was his own. He
looked down at her and uttered a question, "What are we going to do
about it?"

Asuka looked up into Shinji's eyes and after a moment answered
"We have to find out what... or who changed things. I may not be a
genius, Shinji, but the seems like... time travel."

"Time travel?" Shinji seemed unconvinced.

"Yea," Asuka replied, "haven't you ever heard of science
fiction or seen any space shows or crap like that?" He gave her a blank
stare. "Ok, say there's an undesirable event in the past for whatever
reason and someone wants to change it. They find away to go back and do
it and a different future appears."

Shinji wrinkled his brow before speaking, "That's a good theory,
but it still doesn't explain how we know that time was changed..."

"Not in that show, no, but I did read a book once that told that
the universe 'remembers' what happened naturally. The universe 'knows'
it's been tampered with and begins trying to reinstate our memories to
tell us something is wrong. This is probably total crap, but it fits the
facts so far."

Shinji nodded. "It does fit."

He dug into the sand tossing it everywhere smothering his face
in it, heaping it onto the body next to him, throwing it into the sea.
He ran around screaming and crying and laughing and not making any
sound at all. His companion did nothing and was unawares of his madness.
Madness... Madness... Madness... he cackled loudly he knew a way... a
way out of madness... Madness... Mad...

EVA^EVA^EVA

Shinji awoke cackling madly and slapped himself in order to stop
himself. He was sweating heavily and his breath was rushed and shallow.
He proceeded to look around. Nothing was wrong, nothing was out of the
ordinary. He calmed his breath and got out of bed, his clothes clinging
to his wet skin. A voice, recognizable as his own, but distinct told him
to leave the room. He stretched and walked out of the room. It told him
to take an elevator down a hallway he didn't recognize. He felt weary of
the voice which sounded so much like his own, but conceded. It told him
to press a button, he did without looking at it and was whisked off.

The voice continued pressing him urgently on as he wandered through
more corridors. He went over to pile of scrap when a feminine voice rang
out. "Ikari-kun!" cried Rei as she jogged up behind him. "You can't go.
You mustn't go. You will not like what you find."

Shinji held Rei close to him, "What do you mean, Rei?" he stepped
with her trying to drag him back. A light enveloped them both and they
disappeared. Had Asuka known Shinji was going somewhere she might have
gone with, but the light flowed over her gently as if nothing happened.
Asuka Langly stirred, but did not awaken.

EVA^EVA^EVA

Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami stood looking over a ruined and
scorched Tokyo-3. Orange-red goo lay everywhere. In the distance there
was an ocean, blood red. A cackling sound came from that direction. "Do
you really want this world back, Shinji? DO YOU? You're a fool. I give
you paradise and you become some kind of universal savior? You just
don't understand how wrong your theories are. Asuka was indeed smart,
but wrong. Now go back to the reality we both need. Get away from this
reality that ruined us." The source of the voice became shaped. The face
Shinji stared at was his own.

"So then," started Shinji, "You were the one who changed the
universe." It was a statement, not a question.

"No," his mirror replied. "You don't get it, I didn't change
reality. I CREATED it! There had to be an improvement, my dear me. Some
kind of improvement."

"You're insane, now tell me how I can fix this!" Shinji gazed
deep into the eyes of his reflection.

The mirror nodded. "Of course I am! The reality I had created
before was... ah no need to depress you, you're going back. Let's just
get you back to where you belong so you can continue to live a life that
was better then my first one." He smiled for an instant and then his
features turned dark. "You're not planning on leaving are you?"

Shinji shook his head, "I can't until you set the universe back
the way it was supposed to be, paradise lost or not. Otherwise, the
universe may tear itself apart in an attempt to fix itself!"

The mirror clenched his fists and looked at Shinji in pure hatred
"YOU AREN'T LISTENING!!!!!!!! I, Shinji Ikari, control my universe, my
reality. The very reason this is possible is because you thought it was
needed!!! Now get the hell back to where I want you to be!! WHERE I WANT
TO BE!!!!!" He dug his hands into his face... "You want the End of
Everything? Fine... I don't deserve anything else anyway...."

The mirror viciously slapped Shinji and blackness covered all.

EVA^EVA^EVA

He awoke on a sandy beach and shook the dirt from his hair. Where
was he? Where was Rei? He looked around and saw Asuka laying in the sand
and it all came back to him. He was back at the Beginning. The beginning of
his imaginings...

Tears streamed down his face as he choked Asuka to death and
dragged her body to the blood-red sea. Walking waist deep into the water,
a human size progressive knife appeared in his hand. He took one quick
motion across his neck.

Nothing living ever heard the sound of his splashing body.

EVA^EVA^EVA

Somewhere God was in His Heaven and all was right with the world.
