(*Meanwhile, in Eva A*)

Mana:  Aren't you going to do something?

Well, maybe later ... I don't want to get in the way ...

Mana: Mm hm.  I kinda thought you were afraid of going crazy in battle. ¬¬

Aoi: (*on screen, from Eva 07*) Oh, stop it, imouto-chan!  He'll be fine ... ne, Chatty? ^^

(*nods*) Hai!

Mana: (*aside*) Hey, won't Voids be bothered by that exchange?

Kensuke: (*aside*) What, was I supposed to say that?

Mana: (*aside*) Err ... okay, good point.

Kensuke: (*aside*) Why are we breaking the fourth wall, anyway?

Mana: (*shrug*)

Okay. (*determined expression*) I'm going to fight.

(*With that, Eva A whips out its Tristar Progressive Shuriken^TM and proceeds to open a can of whoop ass.*)

Kensuke: Wow ... a Progressive Shuriken!

Lyn: (*on screen, from Eva 06*) Well, it's probably to make for the (*AHEM*) inferior quality of your Eva, right?

Maybe, so ... (*hack, slash, SWISH*) But as I seem to recall, your Eva was shredded to little bits by the Sluggy Freelance cameo, ne? ¬¬

Lyn: (*on screen, from Eva 06*) S..so? (*face turns red*)

So your Eva is at least as inferior as mine ... (*slash, hack, FWING*) ... if not more so ...

Lyn: (*on screen, from Eva 06*) Excuse me?  Did I just hear you say what I think you just said?!

Kensuke: Wai, a fight! (*pulls out a bag of popcorn*)

Mana: Hey, stop it you two ... we need you fighting those demons, not each other.  Okay?

Lyn: (*on screen, from Eva 06*) Fine, Mana-san.

(*nods*)

Mana: And as for you, Kensuke-kun ...

Kensuke: H-hai?

Mana: Where in the world are you getting these bags of popcorn?!

Kensuke: Oh, um ....... I don't know, really ... ^^;

Mana: Ah well. (*snatches the bag of popcorn*)

Kensuke: Hey!  That's mine!

Mana: Go get your own, Baka Hippie-boy.

Kensuke: I am NOT a Hippie!

Mana: BEEEEDA!! ;p

And so it goes ...

Yuna-neko:  Ne, Footnote/RL-san, you ought to get Mana-sama out of there before she starts shouting in German.

Huh?

Yuna-neko:  Well, she is being very Asuka-ish now, isn't she?

Mana:  I am NOT!

Asuka:  Yeah!  She is not!

Um ... I see your point. ^^;

Anyway, I like this string ... it's silly *and* serious ... WOOHOO!!  Oh, and Yuna-neko lied in that preview. ^_^

Yuna-neko:   Did not!

Okay, okay ... "told a partial truth".

Yuna-neko: (*scratch*)
