....ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...what
was I laughing at? Oh well.
004 is here and there's
nothing special (hooray) let’s see what I shall riff this time... ... ...GOT
ONE!
Here we go.
***********************************************************************************************
[The scene: A well furbished
apartment. Two lounges are set up in a V shape, with at least a doorways space
between the ends, to face a large cabinet with a Wide-screen Digital TV
opposite the front door. In a corner to the right of the TV, is a P.C., well equipped,
I might add. It has state-of-the-art components like a 2Ghz Pentium 4
Processor, 40Gb Hard drive, Windows XP, Broadband internet access and stuff
like that ... I think. Off to the left of the door is a kitchen. Around the
place stand multiple doors leading to places men fear to tread, or couldn't be
bothered going in. Either way, what lay beyond them is hidden in secrecy.]
Voice: [whistles] ...well they've
got two minutes...
Max: Who has?
Voice:...you do. You’re here
early.
Max: Had nothing better to
do.
[5'6½", Dark-Blue Hair,
Dark-green eyes, tannish skin, green shirt, grey pants and black boots would be
a good description for Max today...what...you think they wear the same thing every
day, do you?]
Voice: Where’s your friend?
Max: Who... oh, Seth. He said he had to do some stuff. I don’t know where he is.
Seth: I’m right behind you.
Max: AH SHIT! DON’T DO THAT!
Seth: Why not? It’s funny.
Max: To you, maybe.
Seth: Well, yeah, actually.
Max:...well, anyway, he’s here
now.
Voice (sarcastic): Oh, gee,
I hadn’t noticed.
Seth: Is that true?
Voice (flat): No!
[Now Seth...hmmm...5'7",
Dark red hair, brown eyes, tanned skin, Blue Shirt, Black Pants, Black
Boots...yeah, that’s about right.]
Voice: One minute...
Seth: ...till what.
Voice:...never mind.
Seth: Done.
[Seth and Max sit on the
right couch, Seth closest to the TV.]
Seth: (to Max) So how long
did they say the’d be?
Max: They should be here any
second now.
Seth: Oh, I guess we’ll wait
til then.
Voice: They’d better be, I
don’t have all day you know.
Seth: Why? What else do you
do everyday?
Voice: That’s none of your business.
Seth: ...I’ll take your word
for it.
[A voice comes from the
hallway...]
?: Oh, would you hurry up?!
We’re gonna be late!
Seth: That would be them.
[Jessica walks in]
Jessica: Were not late, are
we.
Voice (sighing): No, no.
Max: Frankly, I don’t know why you bother. This isn’t worth hurrying to get to on time.
Voice: WHO SAYS?!
Max and Seth: WE DO!!
Voice(mumbling): ...shutup.
Dim: I’d have to agree.
Jessica: What? This not being worth hurrying to?
Dim: ...no...well that is true - I meant them
shutting up.
Max and Seth (sarcastic): Oh, hah hah.
Voice:...you heard that?!
Dim: ...yeah.
Voice: Oh...well, let’s begin, shall we?
Dim: Very well.
[Dim and Jessica sit on the
left lounge, Dim furthest from the TV, which turns on.]

The PenPen Chronicles,
Episode 0:1: PenPen to the Rescue
Max:
Yay, PenPen!

By Adam Friedman
Max:
Boo, Adam!

Email Me at
GodzillaXY@aol.com
Seth
(whining): Do we have to?
>
DISCLAIMER: Neon
Genesis Evangelion and all of it's characters are owned by Gainax and not me.
Seth: Not if you’re not Hideaki Anno, they aren’t.
>
Anyway, there aren't
any spoilers, unless you aren’t up to the part where Asuka joins the crew.
>
Dim:
Nope, seen it.
I
wrote this story because I think PenPen deserves a bigger role.
All:
He does?
Max:
I think his current role’s pretty good. I wouldn’t mind a role like that.
Dim:
You’d have a role like that, but you talk to much. He doesn’t talk at
all.
Max:
...I think I’ve changed my mind...
PenPen,
of course, is the lovable penguin who lives with Misato.
Seth
(sarcastic): No, really, are you sure?
But don’t worry, the whole series is not just
about PenPen.
Jessica:
Why not?
This is part one in a series of I don’t know
how many. So enough with the chit chat, now I present, "PenPen to the
Rescue".
All
(sarcastic): Yay.
>
The sounds of yelling
were coming from Misato’s apartment in Tokyo-3.
Max:
What else is new?
Seth:
PenPen’s the star.
Max:
...apart from that.
>
"What!?!",
yelled Asuka furiously, "Why can’t I take a short vacation to Germany!
It’s Oktoberfest, I’ve gone to every single one since I can remember!"
Jessica:
(Misato) It’s too far away!
>
"We need to have
all EVA pilots at NERV right now. The next angel can attack at any
second!", replied Misato firmly.
Seth:
That’s a good point.
>
"You let Shinji go
to that resort for the weekend!"
Max:
She Did?!
>
"That wasn’t a
resort! That was the NERV hospital!
Max:
Asuka, Asuka, Asuka. How could you confuse a hospital with a resort?! I mean,
that’s just STUPID!
And he
wouldn’t have had to go there if it wasn’t for you attacking him!"
Max:
And you sent him there?!!
>
"He had it coming
to him! I was only defending myself. He was trying to feel me up!"
Max:
You’re kidding, right?
>
"He was turned the
other way! You kicked him in the back!"
Max:
This just gets worse and worse.
>
"Details, details,
details..."
Max:
THAT’S ALL YOU CAN SAY??!!!
>
The phone rang. Misato
picked it up to answer. "Hello?", she said into the phone.
>
Her face looked
confused as she listened to the voice on the other line. She held the receiver
away from her face and called, "PenPen, it’s for you?"
All:
...WHAT?!
>
PenPen came out of his
room. Misato bent over to hand it to him. PenPen began squawking happily into
the phone as he went back into his room and closed the door.
Jessica:
What about the phone cord?
Dim:
I think it’s cordless. Of course, I don’t know how he’ll get good reception,
inside a fridge.
>
Misato and Asuka just
stood their with confused looks on their faces.
Seth:
I would, too, If I watched a penguin walk into a fridge, talking on a phone.
Max:
Who wouldn’t?
Dim:
Me.
Max:...well,
apart from you.
>
A little bit later at
NERV headquarters, the three children were preparing for a test.
Dim:
I wonder who they are.
>
Misato was briefing them. "Today we are
testing the AJF780, a new vehicle that you may have to use someday.", she
explained.
Seth:
In the year 2015.
Max:
Uhh, this is NGE, it is 2015.
Seth:
...oh yeah.
>
"Why would we
fight in this hunk of junk when we have our EVA’s?", said Asuka.
Dim:
I could ask the same question.
>
"These aren’t
combat vehicles. They are to be used to escape in case of an emergency. You are
too important to risk, since you may be mankinds only hope.", said Misato.
Dim:
I said ‘could’ not ‘would’.
>
"No way am I
leaving my unit 2 here!", yelled Asuka, "If it’s going down, I’m
going down with it!"
Dim:
I hope she means ‘aboard’ it.
>
"This is only for
extreme emergencies where the EVA’s are either destroyed or rendered useless.
Max:
Well, they’ll be using it quite a bit.
We can always try to build more EVA’s.
Finding pilots is harder."
Max:
Not really. Just pick one.
Seth:
Uhh, I don’t think it’s that simple.
>
Shinji, Rei, and Asuka
were sitting in the cockpit of the AJF780. The vehicle was about the height of
a onestory building and about as long as a fighter jet.
Jessica:
Very tall, not very long. Chubby.
Max,
Seth and Dim: ...sure, we’ll go with that.
>
Asuka was in the pilot seat while Rei and
Shinji were behind her. Misato’s voice came on over the intercom. "You
will be launched directly into Tokyo-3.
Jessica:
Uhh, aren’t they protecting Tokyo-3.
Seth:
1) Sort of, 2) She meant ‘into it’s airspace’.
Jessica:
Oh. For a moment there, I thought they were sending a chubby plane to crash
into Tokyo-3.
Dim:
And that’s a bad thing? ...oh well.
>
Please get out of the metropolitan area first
thing, so you can have more room to practice maneuverability."
Seth:
Good Idea...if you can get past all the buildings.
, Misato said "When you are ready to
switch pilots, remember to put it on hover mode. Ready Asuka?"
Max:
What a question to ask.
>
"Ready as I’ll
ever be! Let’s rock and ride!", she said into the intercom.
Seth:
Been watching too much BMFM, have we?
>
An electronic voice
said, "Opening departure gates in 5...4...3...2...1...We are ready to..."
Max:
RUMBLLLLLLE!
[everyone
else stares at him with a ‘what-the-F@*!’ look on their faces]
Max:
Or not.
>
Before the voice could
finish it’s sentence, the ship blasted off up through the tunnel and into
Tokyo-3. "Yeehaw!", yelled Asuka, "Now that’s what I call a
rush!"
Seth:
Uhhh, sort of. Now, Serena rushing to school because she’s late (which happens
every school day, mind you), now that’s a rush.
Max:
A different sort of rush.
Seth:
...are you sure? I mean...there’s more than one kind?
Max:...
>
"Asuka, are you
sure you’re supposed to be going that fast? You might hit a building...or
worse!", said Shinji.
Dim:
(Shinji) You might hit MEEE!!!
Jessica:
He’s inside the ship, as well.
Dim
(annoyed): I know that!
Max:
Yeah, what if they crashed and he somehow hit the windscreen?
Jessica:
I guess that’s a good point.
>
"Stop worrying!
You worry to much. Just hang on and enjoy the ride!" , Asuka said,
Max:
It would be easier if it was the world’s freakiest thrill ride!
"You
never see Rei worrying.
Seth
(sarcastic): Gee, I wonder why...
How you doing
back there, Rei?"
>
"I am well,
ma’am.", Rei replied quietly.
>
"See? Happy as a
clam!",
Dim:
She doesn’t experience happiness.
Seth:
Just like you.
Dim:...whatever.
Asuka said, "Hey, check this out!"
Max:
Do we have to?
>
Asuka did a loop with
the AJF780.
Max:
AAAAAGH!
Seth:
OH GOD!!
>
"I think I’m going
to vomit...", said Shinji, who was turning green.
Seth:
I feel sick just watching it.
>
"Just not in here
buddy!", said Asuka,
Seth:
(Shinji) BLEAAUK! Oops, sorry.
Max:
(Asuka) Oh shit. That’s gonna be murder to get out!
>
"Hey, aren’t those your little buddies
down there?"
Seth:
Little? They don’t look like dots, do they?
>
Touji and Kensuke were
eating lunch at a ramen stand. Kensuke looked up and saw the ship, causing him
to spit noodles on Touji. "Kensuke, you better have a good explanation for
this.", said Touji, covered in ramen noodles.
>
"Lo-Lo-Look behind
you!", Kensuke yelled.
Seth:
(Toji) What, WHERE?
>
"I’m not falling
for your jokes this easily."
Seth:
That’s a surprise.
>
"No! I’m serious!
There’s some kind of huge hovercraft right behind you!"
Jessica:
I believe he’s right.
>
"Yeah right, and
Rei Ayanami was voted best personality."
Dim:
Like news, no personality is good personality.
Jessica:
You can go on believing that.
Dim:
Ok, I will.
>
"And it looks like
Asuka is sticking her head out the window!"
Seth:
Dead. She forgot to open it.
Max:
Yeah, I wish.
Seth:
Me, too.
>
Touji, angrily grabbed
Kensuke’s collar and pulled him across the table. "You little liar,"
Touji said, "I wouldn’t believe you even if I heard her say..."
>
"Hey
fellas!", Asuka yelled from the hovercraft, "Wanna go for a
ride?"
Seth:
(Kensuke) Okay, then don’t believe me, see if I care.
>
Touji almost fainted
with surprise. "I’ll lower the entry port for you!", Asuka called
back down to them.
>
Back in the cockpit,
Misato’s voice reappeared on the intercom. "Asuka, what are you
thinking!?! You can’t let hitchhikers on an official NERV vehicle!"
Max:
Yeah!
>
"It was all
Shinji’s idea, they’re his friends!", Asuka replied.
Max
and Seth (coughing): Bullshit!
>
"What!?!",
said a shocked Shinji.
Jessica:
She said it was your idea... and yes, we all know that’s a big fat lie.
>
"Now where’s the
intercom off switch?", Asuka said.
Seth:
(Misato) Next to the ‘Self-destruct’ button...WAIT!
Max:
BOOM! (Asuka) whoops.
>
"Now listen young
lady, the AJF780 has a tracking device, we’ll find you no matter what!",
Misato yelled angrily, "And further more..."
Max:
(Misato) 30c cones should still cost 30c at McDonald’s.
Seth:
What was that for?
Max:
No reason.
>
Asuka flipped the
intercom off switch. Touji and Kensuke climbed into the cockpit. Kensuke was
excitedly scanning the cockpit with his video camera. "Hey Shinji! Thanks
for inviting us for the ride!", said Touji.
Max:
(Shinji) You’re welcome...HEY, WAIT A MINUTE!
>
"I didn’t invite
you! In fact, I insist we turn around and go back to NERV before we get in even
bigger trouble!", Shinji said, annoyed at Asuka.
Seth:
That’s our Shinji, spineless as always.
>
Asuka flipped the
tracking system switch to off. "Calm down third child!
Seth:
His name is SHINJI!
We’ll
return the ship in one piece! Oktoberfest here we come!", Asuka said, as
they zoomed off out of Tokyo-3.
Dim
(sarcastic): Bye Tokyo-3.
>
Misato sat by her desk
with her head in her hands. Ritsuko approached to comfort her. "It was
beyond your control. There was nothing you could do.", said Ritsuko.
Max:
(Ritsuko) Asuka is an inconsiderate brat. No-one can change that.
>
"You’re just
trying to be nice. I failed miserably. Asuka I should have expected this from,
but Shinji?", said Misato,
Seth:
Why? He didn’t do anything.
"Maybe
I was too mean to Asuka before. Now they’ve run away and it’s all my fault.
What if an angel attacks now? We’d be hopeless."
Jessica:
That you would.
>
"Don’t worry, I’m
sure they’ll be back real soon and we can all forget this ever happened. This
is her way of rebelling. She just needs a little bit to cool off. In fact, I
remember a pair of lovebirds who ran away together for a whole week..."
Seth:
Their names were Bob and Charlie.
Everyone
else: EWW!
Max:
Why’d you have to say that?!
Seth:
Just wondered what your reaction would be if I did.
>
"That was totally
different! I didn’t know any better back then. And I don’t think this is the
best time to bring up Kagi"
Dim:
It never is.
>
"Did I hear my
name mentioned?", said Kagi, as if he had popped up from nowhere,
Seth:
Nowhere. Another name for his house.
Max:
What house. He doesn’t live anywhere.
Seth:
That’s why ‘Nowhere’ is another name for his house.
>
"My, my you 2 look lovely. How about a
menage a trois?"
Seth:
A what?
>
"How about you
leave and have a menage a une!", said an irritated Misato.
Seth:
A huh?
>
"Touche, mon
amour.", replied Kagi,
Seth:
Alright, enough with the French, already!
"Say
Misato, doesn’t this remind you of something?"
Max:
(Misato) Nope, doesn’t ring a bell.
>
"Listen you pig
headed idiot, you tricked me into running away with you! I was young and naïve!"
Max:
You’d have had to be.
>
"Oh you wanted it
bad, baby."
Max
and Seth: WOG BOY!
>
"I did not!"
Max:
(Kaji) Did too.
Jessica:
(Misato) Did Not!
Max:
(Kaji) Did too!
Jessica
(Misato): DID NOT, YOU F@#!in’ PRICK!!!
Max
(a little freaked): ...okay, that’s going a little too far.
Jessica
(twiddling her index fingers) ...sorry.
>
"And I think you
want some right now..."
Jessica:
POW! (Misato) HOW ‘BOUT I GIVE YOU SOME OF THIS, EH?!!
>
"Do you have a
death wish you ignorant, lying, sack of..."
Seth:
Shit...I know that’s what you were going to say, don’t deny it.
>
"I think I’ll
leave you 2 alone now," said Ritsuko, giggling as she walked away.
Jessica:
(Misato) GET BACK HERE, YOU SPINELESS WUSS! YOU’RE WORSE THAN SHINJI!
Max:
(whisling) wooo! (normal) That is spineless.
>
Meanwhile back on the
AJF780, which was flying somewhere over the
ocean, Asuka was singing
"Fly Me to the Moon",
Dim:
We get that enough in the Japanese credits. We don’t need you singing it,
too...although, you are annoying like that, aren’t you?
while Shinji, Touji, and Kensuke held
their fingers in their ears. "Are you sure you know where you’re
going?", said Shinji.
Jessica:
(Asuka) I’m going to Germany, you Idiot!
Max:
(Shinji) That helps...WATCH OUT FOR THAT MOUNTAIN!
Jessica:
(Asuka) What mountain?!
Seth:
CRASH!!!
>
"I only lived
there for the first 13 years of my life! All we need to do is find Europe and
Germany will be a snap!",
Seth:
(Shinji) Why do I get the feeling that my body is involved with that snap?
said Asuka, "Don’t you have faith in
me?"
Max:
In a word...Yes, I don’t.
>
"To tell the truth
not really!", said Shinji.
>
"That makes 2 of
us!", added in Touji.
Max:
And then some.
>
"What about you
Kensuke?", asked Asuka. After not getting a response, whe repeated her
question.
Dim:
It’s pronounced ‘she’.
>
"Where’s
Kensuke?", she finally asked, confused.
Seth:
Who knows? Who cares?
>
"Hey guys! This
shot’s going to be awesome!", yelled Kensuke, who was hanging halfway out
the window filming the ocean.
>
Shinji and Touji immediately
jumped up to help Kensuke out of the window. But Rei didn’t move. She looked
scared. "I have a bad feeling," said Rei.
Max
(acting surprised): She speaks.
>
"Why do you have
to always be so negative? A bad feeling about what?", said Asuka.
Seth:
A bad feeling about your reckless piloting.
>
"I don’t
know.", she replied, almost in a whisper.
Seth:
Don’t worry, you’re not the only one.
>
Meanwhile, workers back
in Japan were busy drilling into the Earth in a spot in the woods not too far
from Tokyo-3. The foreman was looking at a blueprint. "Hey Sami!", he
called to his assistant, "Get over here!"
>
"Yes boss?",
said Sami, who was next to his boss almost immedietly.
>
"Do you have any
idea what this is? Look at these blue prints."
Seth:
(Sami) Uhhh, pictures?
>
"I haven’t the
slightest idea. It’s supposed to be top secret."
>
"Well go fetch me
the guy who is hiring us. I want to have a word with him."
Dim:
Let me guess who that is.
>
Sami ran off. The
foreman was still pondering the blueprints. Sami soon returned with Dr. Ikari.
Seth: Dr.? Yeaaahhh,
thatt’ss riightt...
>
"What exactly are we building
here?", asked the foreman.
>
"That information
is classified," replied Dr. Ikari, "I need to be leaving right now, I
have important work to do."
Max:
(Gendo) I have to sit at my desk and tell people what to do while Seele pick at
everything I do. (Gendo, whining) Gendo do this. Gendo, that was reckless. Your
shoes are untied; How do you expect to run a company like that.
>
Suddenly, they heard a
rumbling, and then felt the ground begin to shake. All the workers froze as it
got more intense. "What the hell is that?" said the foreman loudly.
Max:
(Gendo (Mr. Burns)) How the bloody hell should I know?!
>
Dr. Ikari began running
away as fast as he could.
Max:
(Bart Simpson) Gotta change that tape. Oh god, I gotta change that tape!
Seth:
(Homer Simpson) Gotta change Maggie. Oh dear god, we gotta change Maggie!
As
he ran, he took out his cell phone and pressed auto dial. "This is
Ikari," he said into the phone, "We have an angel attack by the NERV
Headquarters II construction sight. Send all EVA units available ASAP!"
>
A huge angel pooped up
from the ground.
Max:
Aaaaaaaah, that felt good.
It was about the size of 2 EVAs. It had a
huge eye that took up most of it’s head, and 2 huge tentacles that took the
place of it’s arms. It’s chest appeared to be one giant mouth , full of sharp
teeth. Workers were running in panic. Ikari dropped his cell phone in panic and
dashed towards his helicopter.
Seth:
AAAHH!! HOLY SHIT!!!
Dim:
Gendo? Panic? Yeah...that..could..happen
>
As Ikari got into his
helicopter, he saw the angel grab a huge crane and squash it with it’s
tentacle. The foreman ran up to the helicopter door. "I beg, you please,
let me in! Let me in!", cried the foreman.
Seth:
(Gendo) For the last time, NO!!!
>
Ikari slammed the door
shut and the helicopter took off, leaving the foreman behind.
>
Back at NERV,
Seth:
Where we find some big machines and lots of little people to squash with them.
Max:
What was the point of that?
[Seth
shrugs]
the red alert signal was blaring.
Max:
Beep Beep Beep.
Misato was on the phone yelling at the
Navy. "What do you mean you can’t find them?!?", yelled Misato,
"They have to be somewhere! I told you, the ship can block radar! I don’t
care how you find them, just find them!"
>
Misato slammed down the
phone. A technician ran up to her. "Misato! Misato!", he said,
"What are we going to do?"
>
"Pray", she
said quietly.
Seth:
(technician) I’ve done that, now what?
Max:
(Misato (Mr. Burns)) How the bloody hell should I know?!
>
Meanwhile in Misato’s
apartment, PenPen was bathing in the bath tub along with 2 beautiful women.
Max:
I’d really like to have his role.
He
was sipping a glass of champagne, as the deep sounds of Barry White played in
the background. "Oh PenPen, you are the greatest. You’re not like all the
other guys. You know how to satisfy a woman in ways that other men can’t."
Seth:
As a penguin.
>
PenPen let out a
squawk. Then, the phone rang. After a few more rings, the answering machine
came on. "Asuka! Shinji!", Misato said over the answering machine,
"This is Misato! If you are hiding out here, report to NERV immediately!
There is an angel attack! Hurry!"
>
PenPen, hearing that
the message was over, jumped out of the bathtub and rubbed himself dry with a
towel. "PenPen, come back in, the water’s warm.", said one of the
women.
Seth:
I’m not sure how to take that.
>
PenPen strapped on his
rocket pack, walked to the window and launched off.
Max:
Okay, since when does PenPen have a rocket pack?
The women stayed in the tub, obviously
disappointed.
Max:
At least they didn’t leave.
Seth:
That has to count for something. I’m not sure what, though.
>
Back in the AJF780,
Asuka was flying with one hand and reading a map with the other.
>
"So, are we in
Germany yet?", joked Touji.
>
"I think we might
be possible almost there," replied Asuka.
Seth:
(Toji) So you’re saying that we’re nowhere near it.
>
"Well we better
be, for it looks like we’re out of fuel!", said Shinji, pointing to the
empty fuel meter.
Max:
(Kensuke, terrified) WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!
>
"Dammit!",
yelled Asuka, "What are we going to do now?"
Max:
(Shinji) PANIC!!!
>
"I don’t know,
this was your crazy idea, Captain Asuka!", yelled back Shinji.
Jessica:
Captain? You spineless coward.
>
"Land ho!",
said Kensuke,
Seth:
Arrgh, matey!
>
looking out of the window, "I see some
sort of city at 9 o’clock!"
>
"Then that’s where
we’re going!", said Asuka, and began shifting towards the city.
Max:
Asuka, you idiot. That could be any city: Paris, London...
Seth:
New York.
Dim:
Tokyo-3
Jessica:
Around the world, without visiting Germany. Now that’s pointless.
>
As they came closer,
they realized the city was much bigger than they imagined. "Hey, what’s
that big statue?" asked Shinji.
>
"That looks like
the Statue of Liberty. It was destroyed in the second impact and then rebuilt.
That means that we must be in New York City!", said Asuka.
Seth:
Hey, I was right.
>
"I think we might
not make it!", said Kensuke.
>
Their altitude was
decreasing rapidly. "What are we going to do!", yelled Asuka in
panic.
>
"All I can say is
I hope you like water!", said Kensuke.
Seth:
What kind of water?
>
The ship crashed into
the water, making a huge splash.
All:
Splash.
>
Back at NERV, Misato
was pacing back and forth. Ritsuko walked up to her. "The angel has
reached Tokyo-3. Should we abandon headquarters?", Ritsuko asked.
Jessica:
(Misato) Again?!
>
"It looks like we
have no other choice," said Misato.
>
Then, she felt a tugging
at her dress. She looked down to see PenPen.
>
"How did you get
in here?
Max:
With a jetpack he got from nowhere.
Seth:
What, Kaji’s house?
Max:
No, A different nowhere.
Seth:
Oh, you mean hammerspace.
Max:
Yeah, that’s it.
You know you aren’t supposed to be
here.", she asked surprised to see him here.
>
PenPen began squawking
and flapping his wings around excitedly. "Cancel the evacuation,"
Misato said, "We have a pilot!"
All:...we
do?
>
"You can’t be
serious! A penguin can’t pilot an EVA!", said Ritsuko, "We tested
PenPen back when we first started the project and he couldn’t
synchronize!"
All:...you
did?
>
"If you don’t
remember, the first few times we tested Rei, she wouldn’t synchronize either!
Besides, doesn’t PenPen have the same thing in common that Rei, Shinji, and
Asuka have? There’s no reason why he can’t pilot an EVA."
Seth:
Sure there is.
>
"This is
crazy!"
>
"But it’s crazy
enough to work..."
Max:
I hear that so many times...
>
Meanwhile, the angel
was working his way through the city. Some of the buildings were stuck halfway
through while lowering into the ground. The angel smashed them with his
tentacles. A gun raised from the ground and began firing, so the angel smashed
the gun to pieces with ease.
Seth:
What else is new?
>
Back underground,
PenPen was being inserted into Unit 1.
Max:
Don’t forget the plug.
Seth:
Don’t forget the plug suit...if there is one his size.
Misato stood by the window, waiting to his if
he’d synchronize correctly. "He synchronizes!", said the surprised
technician, "Nowhere near as good as the regular pilots, but he can
operate it much better than the average person."
All:
You’re kidding, right?
>
"We are ready to
launch," said Misato.
>
On the surface, an
emergency van was driving around blaring, "Evacuate the area! Evacuate the
area! We have an emergency situation!"
All:
Well, duh!
>
As the van turned the
corner, it came face to face with the angel. The van began to back up as fast
as it could but the angel was in hot pursuit. The angel’s tentacle was just about
to get the van, when it was distracted by gunshots to it’s back. It was PenPen
in Unit 1!
All
(sarcastic): Hooray.
>
The angel turned around
and began charging at Unit 1 furiously, but it leaped over the reach of the
huge tentacles. As it landed behind the angel, the EVA drew it’s sword, and
stabbed the angels back.
Dim:
What sword?!
>
The angel roared with
pain, and reached behind itself with a tentacle and grabbed the EVA and swung
it back around. It launched the EVA as far away as it could and then charged at
it to finish it off. As it approached the fallen EVA, it lashed at it with a
tentacle, that the EVA sliced off with it’s sword.
>
The angel writhed
around in pain, but not for long as it soon grabbed hold of the EVA with it’s
other tentacle and swallowed most of it, crunching on it with it’s huge fangs.
The power supply was suddenly disconnected, and only a minute of power was
left!
Seth:
I thought it was five minutes.
>
Suddenly, the EVA’s
fist punched through the back of the angel, and leaped out soaked with
yellowish saliva.
Jessica:
...ew.
As the angel lay there on it’s back, the EVA
flew at with it’s sword in hand.
Dim:
There’s not supposed to be an
apostrophe on that ‘its’, Adam.
Seth:
And what did he fly at? If it’s the Angel, you’ve gotta mention something about
it. ‘the Eva flew at it’ would do, you know.
It swiftly dodged the deadly tentacle, and
lunged it’s sword into the eye of the beast, triggering a gigantic explosion.
All:
POP!
>
As the smoke cleared
the EVA walked away triumphant, until it collapsed from power loss.
Seth:
(Homer simpson) I’m king of the world! Woohoo! Woohoo Woohooai...WAAAAAAH!...ooh
ahhh eeh ow d’oh uhh ee ooh uh geejow ooh ee uhh ahh eee ohh uhh, <gasp>
<sigh of relief> d’oh.
>
Back in NERV, everyone
was celebrating the success. "PenPen’s a hero!", yelled Misato
proudly.
Max:
Who would’ve guessed.
They all watched on the moniter as PenPen
got out of the EVA and let out a squawk. Everyone cheered excitedly.
Dim:
Uninjured? That’s odd!
>
Meanwhile, Dr.Ikari was
in the hologram meeting room, speaking to the board.
Max:
(Gendo) This is the ‘Seele’ I was talking about. Oh boy.
>
"You let a penguin
pilot an EVA!?!", one of the men yelled at Ikari loudly, "What have
you been smoking?!?"
Seth:
(I&S Writer) We were eating rotisserie chicken.
>
"That wasn’t a
penguin. Let me introduce you to...the fourth child.", said Ikari.
Seth:
What about Toji?
>
"That’s a lie and
you know it!", yelled the man angrily.
Seth:
Yeah, Toji is. PenPen is the fifth child.
>
"He destroyed the
EVA, isn’t that enough?"
Dim:
Don’t you mean ‘Angel’?
>
"You win this
round Ikari, but next time you’ll be sorry."
Seth:
(Gendo) Oh, that’s what you said last time.
>
The holograms all
disappeared. "Dick," said Ikari to himself.
Seth:
Who, them or you?
>
The hologram of the man
appeared again, "I heard that!"
Seth:
I believe it was them.
>
Meanwhile, Shinji,
Asuka, Rei, Kensuke, and Touji were climbing out of the water onto a dock.
"What now Captain?", said Shinji to Asuka.
Seth:
Enough with the ‘Captain’ already.
Max:
What if he’s teasing her.
Seth:
Hmm, good point. Continue.
Dim:
I somehow doubt he was.
>
"Listen you
little...", Asuka yelled angrily before being interrupted by Kensuke.
Jessica:
Why stop there? ROTTEN PIECE OF SHIT, I COULD SMASH YOU INTO LITTLE TINY
PIECES...
Dim:
Stop that.
Jessica:
Ohh, Ohkaayy...
>
"Why don’t we find
someplace where we can sit and rest so we can dry off and figure things
out?", said Kensuke.
>
"Good idea, let’s
go!", said Shinji.
>
A little bit later,
they were all in a bar drinking sodas, still wet from the water.
Seth:
Being wet doesn’t bother me when I’m havin’ soda.
Max:
Me, neither.
>
Shinji, Kensuke, and Touji were all sitting
together, and Rei was a few seats down.
Seth:
(Toji) HEY REI! WHAT’S IT LIKE DOWN THERE?!
Dim:
(Rei) Okay, I guess.
>
"Where’s
Asuka?", said Shinji.
Dim:
That’s what I was going to ask.
>
"Probably in the
bathroom drying off.", said Touji, "So do you have any ideas on what
to do now?"
Seth:
(Shinji) Uhh, no.
>
"I guess we can
call NERV and tell them where we are.", said Shinji.
All:
Good Idea!
>
"Hey you guys,
what kind of bar is this?", said Kensuke, "I’ve never seen one like
it. What is this? A stage?"
>
His question was
answered as a stripper walked out onto the stage and began dancing erotically.
"A strip club!", said Shinji, "With strippers!"
Dim
(sarcastic): No, A strip club with dressers.
>
Kensuke had his camera
posed at the stripper and Touji was staring with his tongue hanging out.
[Seth
and Max start panting like dogs with their tongues hanging out.]
>
"What kind of
woman would do something like this?", said Shinji.
Dim:
Why do I get a bad feeling about this?
>
Asuka jumped out from
behind the curtain wearing barely nothing.
Dim
(eyes staring in shock ...no seriously): That’s....why...!
Shinji, Touji, and Kensuke screamed.
"Now here’s a traditional German dance always done at Oktoberfest!",
said Asuka.
[Everyone stared at the
TV with their eyes and mouths wide open...even Dim...yes, it was that
shocking, trust me.]
>
Shinji was still
sitting motionless with shock, when he felt a hand on his shoulder. It was a
naval officer.
All:
(Shinji): GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!
>
The next day, they were
all back in Tokyo-3. Asuka, Shinji, Misato, and PenPen were standing outside of
their apartment. PenPen was wearing a badge of honor. "I hope you’re happy
with yourselves," said Misato.
All:
HELL, NO!
>
"We’re
sorry," said Asuka, "I should have convinced Shinji not to do
it."
Dim:
Why? He didn’t do anything.
>
"At least I didn’t
make a fool out of myself by...", said Shinji.
All
(quickly): Please don’t go there!
>
"It was all my
fault!", said Asuka.
Max:
You’re damn right it was!
>
"I thought
so.", said Misoto, "Now let’s get some rest."
>
Misato opened the door
to see 2 women wearing bathrobes. "PenPen, where were you? We were waiting
here for you to get back forever!", said one of the women.
Max:
(PenPen) I was just fighting an Angel, using an Evangelion. Nothing serious.
>
"PenPen!!!!",
yelled Misato angrily, as she chased PenPen down the hall.
All:
GO, MISATO, GO!
[the
fic starts...er stops]
Seth:
Well, that was ... different.
[silence]
Seth:
Uhh, hello, Voice, It’s over.
[nothing]
Seth:
HEY, WAKE UP!!
Voice:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!
Dim:
Sleeping, were we?
Voice:
No, I-I was just stunned by that-that-that-that...
Max:
Yeah, we know, you don’t have to explain.
Voice:
Really? Oh, phiewwww! I never want to see that again.
[sounds
of burning]
Voice:
There! It shall never be seen again.
Seth:
What if there are other copies?
Voice:
What?! [sound of fainting]
Seth:
Uhh, hello. Earth to Guy-in-the-ceiling! Oh well. Let’s go.
Max:
What did you think, Seth?
Seth:
I thought it was sorta funny. It was out-there. A little more than the series,
anyway. I mean, PenPen with a jetpack? Piloting an Eva? Now I’ve seen
everything.
Max:
Especially that last bit.
[Max
and Seth shudder]
Max: Asuka planning to go to Germany and ending up in
New York? That is so like her.
Seth: And Rei said barely anything, as usual.
Max: Reminds me of someone I know.
Seth: Speakin’ of which, what did you guys think?
Jessica: That was wild, freaky and scary! And I’m just talking about the plane ride. ...you, Dim?
Dim: Three words: different, strange, shocking.
Seth: Well put.
Dim: Let’s go, already.
Max: I’m with you.
Seth: Me, too.
Jessica: count me in.
[They all leave, Jessica turning off the lights.]
Voice: Wh-what. Hey, where’d everybody go?

"Now where’s the
intercom off switch?", Asuka said.
Seth:
(Misato) Next to the ‘Self-destruct’ button...WAIT!
Max: BOOM! (Asuka) whoops.
