".......This can't be true, this can't be true......... "
(On the plane)
Chyaku and Matsuki must have traveled by air before. They were clam for most of the journey, even if they met air-turbulence. Baby's cry could be heard in the background
Matsuki: What are we going to do over the weeks.
Chyaku: Well....shopping? But I will spend one day visiting my parents, at Mt. Wanlui.
Matsuki: My parents are also buried there, what a coincidence. I guess I'll follow you on that day.
Chyaku nodded.
The planed landed. After a ride of an hour from the HK airport, they reached their hotel which is quite close to the City Central. Chyaku did the check-in.
Chyaku: Matsuki, there is a slight problem..... Nerv only have one room for us, two beds though..
Matsuki: I guess it is ok with me.
Chyaku: Okay.
After unpacking their things in the room, they went shopping in some hereby malls.
Matsuki: Hehe....HK$5000 given by Nerv for us to use. Let's don't waste it.
Chyaku: (already having bags on both hands) We have only arrived 3 hours ago. And how much have we spent?
Matsuki: Do not worry, the goods here are much cheaper than what you see in Japan. Speaking of that, Chyaku, HK is not small.
Chyaku: So?
Matsuki: Rent a car. You got your license to drive back in the UN, rite?
Chayku: Oh yar....as if you don't have the license.
Matsuki: I have, but you drive.
(The 2days later)
The two children dress in a pretty dull colour attire today. Both have flowers on their hands, Chyaku started to drive toward Mt.Wanlui. Cars aren't allowed to go up the hill, so Chyaku parked his car in a car park and walked up with Matsuki.
Matsuki: How did they die? You won't mind, rite?
Chyaku: My parents are both weapon engineers of the UN army. My father died in the 2nd impact. And my mother died in a weapon test, the reason for the failure was undisclosed. I've heard that the test was with N2 weapons.
Matsuki: You get quite a lots of weapon knowledge from your parents.
Chyaku: You can say so. What about you
Matsuki: Me? It is much more simple. My mother died in a car accident. After that, my father drink every single day. The result was a liver failure.
Chyaku: I'm sorry.
Matsuki: You don't have to be.
The reached their destination. Surprisingly, the two graves were quite close to each other. The 2 children paid their respect to their parents, and cleaned up the area.
Chyaku: Matsuki, can I have a request? My mother once told me to tell her when I start to go out with a girlfriend.
Matsuki nodded.
Chyaku: Mother, dad, this is your future daughter-in-law.
Matsuki gave him a eyes' contact, carrying the message: Who say that I'm going to marry you.
Matsuki: I do not remembering my parents saying that, but I think it will be to nice if you would go over to their grave.
Chyaku: Sure.
(That night)
Chyaku and Matsuki were in their respective beds. Both of them were missing their parents (maybe more than just their parents)and could not sleep. Chyaku went over to Matsuki's bed.
Chyaku: Matsuki....... Matsuki, We have been together for quite long.
Matsuki: Yap. Back in the days in UN. I still remember when I met you for the first time. You was running all over for a toilet.
Chyaku: And you were lost in the building. Matsuki, canwe go a step further?
Matsuki looked, understood the meaning, but pretend not to.
Matsuki: As in?
Chyaku: Tonight? Can we....we become one, tonight.
Matsuki: (sort of expected this to happen) I'm fine, but parents are watching.
Chyaku: They won't mind. It is part of life.
They made love that night.
(Next morning)
Chyaku woke up before Matsuki did. He switched on the TV, but turned it to minimal volume. He saw something on the news, which he wished not to see.
Chyaku: Asuka!! Rei!! No...this can't be true, this can't be true.
Matsuki: (gave Chyaku a punch, not too hard) How dare you call other girls' name when just slept with me last night?
Matsuki then cauhgt sight of the TV. The screen showed a ruined EVA-02, a headless EVA-00, EVA-14 and 01 looked undamaged through the TV screen. Then it came to a scene when the TV showed two damaged Entry plugs.
Matsuki: This aren't true.
Chyaku picked up a phone beside the bed and dialed the Nerv Staff line.
Chyaku: Hello!! I want Major Misato. Hurry up. Major Misato Katsuragi. I'm Ltn. Chyaku Narami.
Misato: (soft and crying) Hello?
Chyaku: Misato? I saw the news. How are Rei and Asuka.
Misato: Still critical.
Chyaku: We are flying back today. What actually happened?
Misato: Two Angels. Two Angels attacked together. Shinji finished off one at the end with your rifle. But Asuka and Rei.....
Matsuki: Misato, they are going to be fine....don't worry.
Misato: We will send a plane to fetch both of you now. I'm sorry to end your holiday, I I really do not know what to do if the Angels attack again. Matsuki, you are good at this, you have showed us that you can do better, we need you back. (Cried out loud)
Matsuki: I'm coming back. Misato, stay clam and you will think of a way out.
Chyaku checked out. He drove about 40km/h faster than the speed limit. Some police was chasing after him. The police caught them when they reached the airport, but the problem was dealt with by some Nerv officers.
(4 hours later, Hospital, Tokyo-3)
Misato greeted Chyaku and Matsuki.
Misato: Shinji and Horoshi have been inside for the past 6 hours, they did not even goes to the toilets.
They went in to the room where the two girls laid. Shinji and Horoshi were sitting beside the two beds.
Shinji: (heard the door) Misato. Your tactic caused this. Get lost.
Chyaku and Matsuki: It is me.
Horoshi: Back from holiday?
The 2 nodded.
Chyaku: They are going to be alright.
Silent. After 5minute, the sirens rang. Misato came in.
Misato: We got to get going.
Horoshi: I'm sick.
Shinji: No!! I'm not going.
Misato: It is a ord....
Chyaku: (Interrupted) Misato, you go back and get the EVAs ready, I'll talk to them.
Misato: ok......Matsuki, you have to come with me, I want to discuss the tactic with you.
Matsuki and Misato exited.
