Neon Genesis Evangelion Fan Fiction ❯ The One I Love Is...Mst ❯ prologue ( Prologue )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Hello ppl :) Zentrodie here, and I got the green light from Mr. Gravel
to mst his "The One I Love Is..." and it's going to be a
massive undertaking, BUT I love msting and it also gives
me some insight for my own fic, yes "All they needed was each other"
is still being written so don't yell at me :)

well without further ado..I begin the MST (so I didn't write the original
story or own anything of Evangelion)

Asuka: You know these things are good and all, but why are they all
so short?

Shinji: You know, I've noticed that too, they all just start and finish
before you get to know much.

Hikari: Um...if you guys want...I know of a longer movie..but it's
broken into fourteen sections.

Touji: DAWM 14! thats going to take some doing Hikari, we can't possibly
do all those in one sitting.

Kensuke: Touji..why do you think they broke it into 14 sections.

Touji: SHUT UP!...I know that, just testing you.

Rei: Nobody will believe that lie Suzahara.

Hikari: So are you guys up for it? We can take breaks during the
section changes, Shinji-kun and I can cook some snacks, It can be
a movie party. 'Hikari smiles widely'

The crew: Sure.

Hikari: One condition thou 'looks at Rei and Asuka' we all have to watch it, and
nobody can deside to stop part way thru.

Asuka: You've seen this before haven't you.

Hikari: 'Blushing' Y..Yes I have. It's realy realy good to, so please?

Rei: I have no objections

Asuka: Neither do I, if its as good as you say its obviously about Shinji and me.

Kensuke: Well lets get seated. I'll grab the cokes, Shinji go make some food.

Shinji: Hai 'makes some popcorn and joins the others in the theatre, finding the only
seat left is...da ta da...right between Asuka and Rei.'

>>>Asuka: What's a side-story?

>>>Kensuke: You don't know! Its a small story set to the side of a large one
>>>to clear up confusion.


================================================== ======================

It felt... odd. This was the only way she could describe it. She
knew it was irrational, but she didn't really feel at ease, sitting
inside Unit-01 entry plug. There was this nagging impression of deja-vu,
associated with some anxiety. And there was this presence. No, not quite
a presence. More like... a shadow, an echo of the previous pilot.
"So, Rei, how does it feel piloting Unit-01 for the first time?"
"It smells like Ikari."

>>>Asuka: HENTAI!! Wondergirl you pervert!!

>>>Touji: You just don't like this because it features Ayanami don't you?

>>>Rei, unnoticed by the others, smirks at the second's discomfort.
* * *

The initial connections to the EVA went without problems, as she had
expected. She had total faith in Commander Ikari. She knew that he
wouldn't have let the events of Unit-00's activation happen again. Only
when the A10 Nerve connection was established did she feel something
strange. She gasped. Images, visions entering her mind. Memories. Those
of Ikari Shinji.

>>>Hikari: Did that realy happen Ayanami-san?

>>>Rei: Yes, but the idea that Commander Ikari wouldn't allow Eva to
>>>go Beserk again is false, he hopes for it.

>>>Touji: Ne Shinji, you were in Unit-00 right..that happen to you?

>>>Shinji: It went beserk

>>>Asuka: Shut up all of you, I can't hear.

Vision of Rei, standing in the middle of the street of Tokyo-3.
'Is it me? I do not recall this...'
Vision of Shinji, holding an injured Rei in the middle of the 3rd
Angel attack.
'Did you pilot... for me?'

>>>Hikari all starry eyed: Isn't it just so heroic, I mean risking your
>>>life for somebody?

>>>Asuka:No its not, Baka did the same for me and I don't think much of it.

>>>Shinji:I just don't want people to get hurt.

>>>Rei: I believe it bravery.

>>>Touji and Kensuke nudge each other: This is getting good already.

Vision of Shinji, facing the Third Angel.
'This emotion. Is this fear?'
Vision of Shinji, facing the Fourth Angel.
'These feelings... Pain and loneliness?'
Vision of Rei, talking with Commander Ikari.
'What is this? Jealousy? Is this jealousy? Are you jealous of me?'
Vision of Shinji, looking at her ID card.
'You find me... cute?'
Vision of Shinji looking at her, as he stood over her naked body.
'Embarrassment. Yet, there is something else...'

>>>Touji: SHINJI YOU THE MAN.

>>>Hikari: Touji..don't say that. 'Takes a nervous glace at Asuka.'

>>>Asuka: You...saw...her...NAKED.DIE!!!! 'The movie is then paused for
>>> five minutes while she beats Shinji and he re-awakens' ah..better.

>>>Rei: What is wrong with that?

>>>Kensuke: Nothing, I think women shouldn't be allowed to wear cloths at all.

>>>Needless to say both Hikari and Asuka smack him and the movie resumes.

Vision of Rei, slapping Shinji.
'His words had... angered me. An odd feeling.'
Vision of Rei's silhouette through a curtain, as she put her
plugsuit on before the battle against the Fifth Angel.
'This feeling again... Is this... desire?'
Vision of Shinji, looking at her, tears in his eyes, after he had
rescued her from Unit-00's entry plug.
'Sadness. Yet, relief and happiness?'
Vision of Asuka, on their first encounter.
'The Second Children.'
Vision of Asuka, partly naked, as she put her plugsuit on.
'These emotions again. Embarrassment and desire.'

>>>Rei: Yes, people need cloths. Ikari-kun, don't do such things again.

>>>Touji: Unless its you right. 'snickers then falls out of seat laughing.'

>>>Blushing deeply Rei/Shinji: Be quit.

>>>Hikari: Asuka did he really...?

>>>Asuka: Unfortunaly yes he did...baka hentai..I repaid him thou.

Vision of Asuka breasts, as she laid just beside him.
'Desire again. Why?'
Vision of Asuka, as Shinji tried to kiss her.
'He... he tried to kiss her...'
Vision of Asuka leaning over him in her bathing suit.
'He finds her attractive.'
Vision of Rei, in her bathing suit, drying herself.
'But he finds me attractive as well...'
Vision of Unit-02, as Unit-01 saved it in-extremis from falling
inside the volcano.
'This relief... He was glad that he could save her. The same feeling
he felt as he took me out of Unit-00's entry plug, after the Fifth Angel
battle.'

>>>Asuka watches scene with blish etched on her face.

>>>Hikari: Shinji-kun you're very brave do you know that?

>>>Shinji: I..It was all to save a commerade, nothing realy.

>>>Kensuke: Wish I could have done that..they won't even let me look at
>>> Eva's anymore.

>>>Touji: That's because they caught you trying to make your own.

Other visions of Asuka. Asuka teasing him. Asuka yelling at him.
Asuka in her school uniform. Asuka in her yellow dress. Asuka only
wearing a towel. Asuka, Asuka, Asuka...
'Why her? Why?! WHY?!'

>>>Touji: He's obsessed?

>>>Kensuke: A masocist?

>>>Shinji: Hey!

>>>Asuka: He has good taste thats why, not that it'll do him any good.


"Okay, test complete. Rei, your job is over."
The voice of Dr. Akagi startled her, even if it didn't show on her
face.
"Hai."
'What were those feelings? Was I... jealous of her? Do I... have...
feelings for Ikari-kun?'
As she let her body relax, Ayanami Rei let out a sigh, making some
bubbles into the LCL.
"Ikari-kun," she whispered.


>>>Asuka: I'm not enjoying this beginning..whenever Wondergirl gets emotions
>>> its a big crock of crap.

>>>Rei: No, it's a well writen piece of work.

>>>Hikari: Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
* * *

As she stood at the infirmary room entrance and looked at the
sleeping form of the boy, for the first time of her life, Ayanami Rei
didn't know what to do. What she had experienced today felt so
confusing. Emotions that she had never felt, but yet recognized. And now
that she looked at the boy, she could feel them inside her. Relief and
happiness. She was happy that the boy was unharmed. Why? Why did she
feel this way?
She approached the bed and looked more closely at the boy. His face
was an expression of peace and serenity. She felt a new impression. It
almost hit her like a wave. Quickly, she compared the feeling to those
she experienced inside Unit-01.
"Do I find you attractive?" she whispered.

>>>Hikari: Ayanami's asking alot of questions.

>>>Touji: This is realy melodramatic.

>>>Kensuke: It's Rei, what else did you expect "WHAM"

>>>Rei: You must learn your place.

>>>A snickering Shinji: You did a realy good thing Ayanami.

>>>Blushes lightly Rei: I did nothing special.

As she pondered on this question, she could only come to a
conclusion.
She did.
"What are you, Ikari Shinji? What are you to me?"
The old, clinincal answer came to mind. A co-worker. The Commander's
son.
No, she realized. He was more. He had feelings for her. She had
protected him and he had helped her in return. She thought back to that
day where she protected Unit-01 from the blast of the Fifth Angel with
her own EVA. Did she act only because those were her orders? No. There
had been something else. Faint, in the back of her mind, but it had been
there.
"Do I... care for you?"
A simple question, yet it was almost a revelation.
Yes. Yes, she did.

>>>Hikari: Wow, even Ayanami saved a fellow pilot, Asuka?

>>>Asuka: What..no..I didn't.

>>>Touji/Kensuke: Our hero ahahahahahahahahahahaha.

>>>Shinji: Its not her fault..she just never had a chance.

>>>Asuka: Don't speak for me baka.

The boy stirred. He would wake soon. Not knowing what to do, the
girl fled. Fear. Another emotion she wasn't accustomed to.
The girl walked through the streets of Tokyo-3, lost and confused.
This wasn't supposed to happen. She wasn't supposed to feel that way.
She was just a tool. Something that could be replaced. Yet...
Should she talk to Commander Ikari? It would be the most advised
course of action.
But... he had let his son be hurt in Unit-00... Was the young Ikari
right? Could the Commander be really trusted? She shook her head. Surely
he could. However, she decided against talking to him. If she buried
them deep, maybe she would forget those new feelings she now felt...

>>>Shinji: My father can be trusted to try to get us all killed, thats
>>> about it.

>>>Asuka: That and mess with our heads. Hey Wondergirl, you should
>>> bury your emotions, they suck so do it.

>>>Touji: Jealous?

>>>Shinji: You don't like your teeth do you Touji?

>>>Touji: Why you ask?

>>>Shinji: Well

>>> Shinji gestures to Asuka right before she pounces on him like an
>>> enraged Catarl-Catarl. (Couldn't help it, watched outlaw star and guess
who does lil miss kitty's voice?)

>>>Rei: He may just enjoy pain.


After minutes that felt like hours, the young girl reached her
apartment and let herself fall on her bed, exhausted of trying not to be
engulfed by this maelstrom of newly awakened feelings. As she buried her
face into her pillow, she realized that she just couldn't ignore what
she experienced right now. Again and again, her mind replayed the last
visions she saw while synchronized to Unit-01. Sohryu. The Second Child.
No! She would not let her have him.
She wouldn't.
"Ikari-kun is mine..."

>>>Kensuke: Isn't that the first sign of obsession?

>>>Touji: Well if we find Pen-Pen dead, we have a problem.

Author's notes:

While this story can be considered as a stand-alone one-shot, it's
really a premise to the Prologue of "The One I Love Is...". One of the
weaknesses of TOILI is the way Rei is OOC. So I wondered... Where did
the emotions come from? The answer came a bit later when I debated with
one of my pre-readers on the subject of good one-shot Rei/Shinji
stories. "Two hearts of one mind" came to mind and I quickly thought of
basing something on it's premise: Rei realizing her feelings for Shinji
because of the compatibility tests with Unit-01. Not quite original, but
effective.
