Final Slurpee, y'all.
There are spoilers in this, because it's about Neon Genesis Evangelion which is copyrighted by Gainax in Japan, and A.D. Vision has the rights to the English-dubbed version; also, all the songs in Slurpee are by Five Iron Frenzy unless otherwise noted.
And yes, it's still a no-hentai environment. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Since Shinji had moved out of the apartment, he and Asuka had a new routine-type-thing going. They saw a good bit less of each other, and lunch was really the only potential--potential, mind you--time alone together, so they figured something out. Whenever Shinji had to stay after Eva training because of Gendo's work (which was actually fairly frequent), Asuka would also stay as long as she could before Misato left. They usually had about fifteen minutes to themselves, during which they'd head to one of the lounges or the pool. They'd talk, or Asuka would swim and they'd talk, or they'd snuggle and talk, or maybe get themselves some snacks and eat and talk.
Anyway, they were doing their routine-type-thing now, at a table in Lounge 3B. They'd be eating something out of the vending machines, except that neither of them really had any change to spare.
"I heard that the Seventeenth Angel might be the last one," Shinji remarked.
"Where'd you hear that?"
"Well, I, overheard Ibuki-san talking to Aoba-san."
"Oh, yeah." Asuka thoughtfully raised her index finger to her mouth. "What did they say?"
"Well, he was kind of worried he'd be out of a job. But they both figured NERV would be around after that, you know. It being such a big organization and all."
"Uh-huh. He's probably right."
"What are you going to do when there're no more Angels to fight, Asuka?"
"What do you mean? Do you think I'll stop being a pilot?"
"Well, um...I was kind of hoping that they wouldn't need the Evas or the pilots anymore...just for me, I mean..."
"Oh." Asuka sighed. "That's just you, I guess. But of course they'll keep the Evas around, they're powerful stuff! I can see NERV getting involved with the JDF or something, you know, a military use for 'em."
Shinji nodded.
"And of course they'll need me. So I just figured I'd keep on piloting--it's not something I wanna do forever, I mean I am a college grad, but I like it."
Shinji scratched the back of his head and said what wasn't on his mind, paying her a compliment on being so smart. "What do you want to do after that, then?"
"I think it would be awesome to be a scientist, and come up with new technologies. Truthfully, I'm pretty interested in physics at the subatomic level! Like quantum mechanics and all that."
What had been on Shinji's mind was the use of Evas against people, instead of Angels. That idea made him feel oogy inside.
Shin Slurpee Evangelion
SLURPEE 0:12 - The End of the Tour
Blood type: blue. Again. And even though not everyone in Tokyo-3 was, you and I both are well aware that it's the last one.
As buildings retracted into the pavement, apartments and businesses and shelters full of people, the Seventeenth Angel touched down just off of Tokyo Bay. It was humanoid--indeed, it pretty much looked like a human, a male one. White, angelic wings sprouted from its shoulder blades, through holes in the pink karate gi it wore. Its brown hair was pulled back in a ponytail; its expression was solid, determined. A golden ring floated above its head.
"OOSHA!" shouted the Seventeenth Angel, flexing a forearm. "I am the Angel of Justice, Dan Hibiki! Prepare to feel the wrath of my holy taunting of wrath!"
The whole of NERV's staff sweatdropped. It's a good thing sweatdrops evaporate quickly, or they'd all have been swimming. The humidity of Central Dogma increased perceptibly.
"In the name of the heavens, I have come to punish you, Gendo Ikari! Cower in terror before your impending judgment and divine retribution!" Dan Hibiki extended his palm and hurled a blue-pink fireball of ki, which quickly dissipated. "You will be punished for your misdeeds, for your blasphemy of creating a god!"
Gendo looked over at Fuyutsuki. "'Creating a god?'" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
Fuyutsuki shrugged.
"I don't know where they get these ideas..." the Commander muttered. "Have the pilots arrived yet?"
Dan Hibiki swooped through the city, launching flying kicks at buildings and leaving tiny foot-shaped indentations all over them. He executed a forward roll in midair, dropping quite a bit because one can't flap one's wings while doing a forward roll in midair. In fact, he crashed into the pavement back-first.
He got up and raised his fists defiantly.
"Hah! Feel the power of my supernatural stamina! I am Mighty Taunting Angel Dan Hibiki! YAHOOIEEE!" Dan cried manly...um, Angelic...whatever...tears of warrior's might. He began pounding the pavement with gadoken ki blasts, and after a handful it began displaying cracks.
Down in Central Dogma, Ritsuko announced, "The Seventeenth Angel has commenced its attack on NERV's defensive armor levels. At its current rate, it should breach the final armor level...late next year." She covered her face in one hand. "This is ridiculous. What is it, some kind of joke?"
"Restraints removed from Evas. Launch preparation procedure is complete," Hyuuga reported.
"We will initiate the launch on your mark, Major. Let's get this over with."
"Yes, sir. Evas LAUNCH!"
The Evas launched.
"Aha, a challenge! I see that you have deployed combatants to do battle with me! Nonetheless, I, Dan Hibiki, will emerge triumphant, as I take on all challengers with the might of Saikyo-ryu! None will stand against my mighty fighting style, the finest of its kind! Who will be the first to challenge, and to fall? And fall you will, for my warrior's spirit is indefatigable and indomitable! My power is inexorable! My techniques are inscrutable! My--"
The armor value of Dan's pink gi was inconsequential, as Eva-00 raised one monstrous foot and stepped on him.
"Blue signal has ceased," reported Maya.
Rei withdrew her Eva's foot and began to walk away. There was nothing left of the Seventeenth Angel except for a few feathers and the halo. A hedgehog, unnoticed, inched up to the halo and grabbed it in its mouth, and then sped away down the street.
"That's the last of them," Commander Ikari announced over the comm system.
Misato cheered. Hyuuga and Shigeru exchanged fives. Maya smiled up at her sempai, who smiled back slightly. If anyone had thought to notice it, they would have seen that Fuyutsuki's mouth was a hard line.
"We will begin preparations to send Asuka back to Germany as soon as possible," the Commander added. It took a few seconds before his words had sunk into the head of his son, who just about choked on the LCL when it hit him. Unit 01 twitched strangely, as if trying to sneeze into the outside of its elbow.
Joe's House of Buffalo Wings attracted a certain sort of clientele. A large group of twentysomething singles were laughing and talking animatedly at one table. Another table had only a manga-reading woman at it; she wore jeans and a colorful, rainbow-decorated t-shirt that said, in English, "I hate myself and I want to die." At one of the booths, about four spikey-haired kids in sweatshirts were devouring a communal Freakin' Huge Bucket of Wings. One of them wore strangely-shaped headphones and carried a CD player that looked like weird alien technology.
And over there in the corner booth were the shy-looking youth in the white dress shirt, necktie, and khaki pants, and the teenage German girl with the red skirt-and-blouse combo.
Shinji smiled. Asuka looked pretty tonight: she had her hair up, and between that and her wide-necked long-sleeve blouse, he could see a whole lot of her shoulders. (This being a no-hentai environment, he couldn't see anything else. Not even a glimpse.) She hadn't worn lipstick tonight, which was good for Shinji's cognitive faculties, although the buffalo wing sauce all over her lower face looked almost as beautiful.
"This was a real good idea!" she said, licking her lips.
"Yeah," said Shinji. "I'm glad you thought of it."
She sighed, in a happy sort of way. "We sure have had some fun times together, huh? There was that other time we came here--"
Shinji rubbed the back of his head nervously. "Boy, that was a disaster."
"Oh, come on. Maybe your necktie was, but you've improved. And we did have fun. And then there was when we skipped school to take the afternoon off."
"Now that was a disaster."
"Well, once the Angel showed up, of course!" Asuka picked up a wing and tore into it, covering her mouth with red spicy goodness. She had quite a saucy lip.
"You know what I really liked? Playing miniature golf with you! Remember that?"
"How could I not? You must've hit every sand trap on the course! Oh, that was too funny..."
Shinji didn't quite have the self-confidence to laugh at his mistakes yet, but he could manage a sheepish grin. "Yeah, I guess I didn't do so well. But you, you were really good. It was fun just watching you, I mean." She beamed. "And remember that other class trip? The one we didn't get to go on, 'cause we're Eva pilots?"
"I was so ticked! Boy, I bet I wasn't any fun to be around that time."
He shook his head. "No, no. I mean, you're always so full of energy, and when you went scuba-diving in the pool, too." He was looking at her shoulders. "And your shoulders are so pretty."
Asuka's eyes bugged out, but then she collected herself and received the compliment. "Well, thanks."
Shinji swallowed. He was about to ask something that he never would've imagined asking a couple of months ago. I mean, a couple of months ago he didn't even know whether Asuka liked him or not, and sometimes suspected she really didn't. "Um," he tried, "well, it's pretty obvious why I like you, since you're so pretty and likeable and...you, and all." Asuka nodded. "But I mean...I know I'm n-not good-looking or anything, and I'm not exactly exciting, and, um...well, you see? I mean, it's kind of. Kind of..."
"You want to know why someone as great as I am would ever like you?" she suggested. He nodded.
"Oh, this is gonna sound sappy." She put down her current wing and quickly ran a napkin over her mouth. "But you're a really nice guy, Shinji. You're really kind and sweet to me, even when I'm not too kind to you--mostly--and I just think that's a really nice thing about you. Hey, remember how you got me all those hot dogs? Without me even asking? I'll tell you why I like you--because you packed me a cold hot dog in my lunch." She leaned across the table, which was a seriously long way to lean, and kissed him on the cheek, leaving spots of wing sauce on his face.
Shinji thought back to the very first day he'd seen her, there on the aircraft carrier. There had been an Angel involved, and far more excitement
than he ever would have voluntarily taken on, but he realized then and there that it was probably the happiest day of his life.

"Aaaah," sighed Jackson Ferrell, as if refreshed. "There's nothing like Warm And Fuzzy Fanart to get one's creativity circuits up and processing again. Inspiration is a real good thing."
--
At the airport, the final boarding call for Flight 2904 to Germany was announced. Misato, Shinji, Hikari, and Chop Chop Master Onion had come to say their goodbyes and see her off.
Shinji stood back at a respectful distance and stared absently while Misato gave her parting words. At the end, she bent down and gave Asuka a quick but firm hug. In contrast, Hikari and Asuka's hug lasted almost the entire goodbye and was very tearful.
Chop Chop Master Onion did not give his student a hug. Instead, he advised her to "seek balance in the cosmic flow of life and music, always achieving the harmony of mind and body united in the eternal lessons of the Tao." He bowed, and Asuka returned the bow.
Standing a little to the right of Onion-sensei, Shinji stepped up as the rapping martial arts master stepped back. He and Asuka looked into each other's eyes.
"I'll miss you," she said.
"Me, uh, me too," he said. It didn't need to be said that they'd stay in touch: they would.
They kept on looking into each other's eyes, then kissed one last time. There was no Commander Ikari to say that it would interfere with their professional duties, no WHAC to scheme to interrupt it, and, just for a moment, no insecurities or issues to get in the way. They separated, and Asuka picked up her carry-on bag.
"Bye, everyone!" she called, waving with her free hand, lining up to board the plane.
Shinji watched her plane take off. He couldn't see her, but he waved at it anyway, in case maybe she saw. He felt very sad.
"Well, you look down," said Reese Roper, stepping up to the window beside him. "What's eating you?"
"Oh, Reese Roper," Shinji said tragically. "The only girl I've ever loved has just left to fly back to Germany, and I don't know if I'll ever get to see her again!"
Reese Roper looked thoughtful for a moment before he spoke. "Y'know, Shinji," he replied, "I know what it's like to be at the rock 'n' roll concerts. You go...you might be a little bit lonely...you might look to your right or left...and maybe you see this--I just drooled on myself--a beautiful young lady." Reese took a second to wipe his mouth and shoulder with his sleeve, then continued. "And you say to yourself, "If only they would play a slow song, that I might take that young lady in my arms and slow-dance with her as if the night would never end." Well, my friends, now is your chance! Take that girl in your arms and slow-dance like there's no tomorrow! This is all fake!"
He stopped and scratched the back of his head, as if tentative. "I don't know much about girls, but I'll tell you what little I know. Well you see, my friend, it's not unusual to be in love with anyone. No, it's not unusual to have fun with anyone! Somethin' like that."
"Gee, thanks, Reese," said Shinji. "I feel a lot better now."
The elevator platform was huge. The shaft down which it descended was a lot more huge, huge enough for an Eva to free-fall feet first down it, but the elevator itself was only moderately huge. Just to give you a better idea of its hugeness, it was huge enough that all of the NERV Staff, the three Children, their plot-relevant classmates, Keel Lorenz, and Slurpee-exclusive characters like David Bever, Tetsuya Yoshida, and Ruri. It was huge enough that, when occupied only by Gendo Ikari, it gave him plenty of room for pacing somewhat impatiently.
It wasn't an incredibly, mind-blowingly, awe-inspiringly huge elevator, but the length of time it took to reach the bottom of the shaft was pretty huge, and Gendo kept on pacing for the entire duration.
The elevator finally pulled up to a catwalk some five yards above a huge channel of LCL. An Eva could wade in the channel, and it would have walk a not-too-huge-for-an-Eva distance to reach the end of the huge hallway along which the catwalk ran. Of course, however, the distance of the hallway, compared to a human, was huge.
Finally, with somewhere else to walk besides all over the elevator a million times, Gendo stepped off and began the long trek down the hall.
He finally arrived at the end. There on the far wall, a spear of pasta through the chest, was Lilith, in all her freaky seven-eyed glory. Frankly, she looked like some kind of voodoo doll. In front of her was Unit 00, comparatively normal but still rather strange-looking by conventional mecha standards.
Gendo wore a headset, into which he now spoke. "Dr. Akagi?"
"Hai."
"Have all the preparations been completed? Are all precautionary measures in place?"
"Hai. The First Child is synchronized with Unit 00, holding steady at 67.5. We are ready to begin."
"How do you feel, Rei?" asked the commander.
Rei paused. "I feel adequate to the event," she responded, in characteristically even tone.
Gendo looked up at the spear of pasta impaling Lilith. A pair of broad, flat noodles spiralled around each other, finally merging into a pointy wedge at the tip. They were really huge noodles.
"The Lance of Linguini," Gendo Ikari intoned. He stood at the catwalk's railing, supporting himself with one hand, the other hand obscuring his mouth and keeping his glasses in place. Something seemed out of place--shouldn't the Lance have been used already? No matter. "Now, Rei, the time has come to initiate the Third Impact. Remove the--"
A sound from behind interrupted him, a click followed by a plastic-on-metal sliding noise.
Gendo turned, just in time to see Kaji Ryouji drop a 9mm clip to the floor and slip a fresh clip into his handgun. He leveled it up at Gendo. "Freeze," he said, grinning.
"Guards, we have an intruder at Ground Zero," Gendo spoke into his headset. "Guards?"
"There's a reason that I had to change that clip," Kaji said. He pressed a button on his wristwatch, and muffled explosions could be heard as if far away and through a lot of metal. "And there goes the alarm system too."
"You were supposed to be dead," Gendo said accusatively.
"I was, but you seem to forget that Slurpee is an Altered Continuity," Kaji explained. "I was supposed to be discovered when I kidnapped Subcommander Fuyutsuki...but I wasn't. As far as this reality is concerned, I'm still alive and working with SEELE, and I've come to prevent you from initiating Third Impact." He adjusted his grip on the pistol. "And that's where this comes in. I've got just one bullet left, and it's got your name on it."
"I thought you reloaded."
"I did. The other clip was completely empty, so it wouldn't do any good to fire that at you, would it?"
"So you exchanged it for a clip with only one bullet in it?"
"Yeah, pretty much."
"But you don't have any other clips, do you."
"Oh, I have other clips." Kaji casually brushed some imaginary dust off his shirt, using the back of his hand.
"So the clip with one bullet was just the first one you happened to insert."
"Well, sort of, except that I grabbed that one on purpose. The bullet's got your name on it, see."
"Enough of this!" Gendo dashed and lunged for the gun.
Kaji aimed and fired, dead center. Gendo got into a grapple with him, but quickly collapsed as the blood loss and internal wounds began exacting their toll. Kaji took his assailant's headset and spoke into it. "Rei, your Eva is now under the jurisdiction of SEELE. Your orders have changed: withdraw from the area and return to the surface." Unit 00 turned around and began obeying the command, while the no-longer-secret agent pulled out a walkie-talkie and spoke into it.
"Agent Ryouji to SEELE Ops 4. Initial Phase of the operation is complete. Send additional agents to secure the area and apprehend all upper-level NERV staff involved. Third Impact has been averted..."
Shinji Ikari sang. His singing voice hadn't improved any, but he sang on in spite of it. He sang "Jefferson Aero Plane" by Relient K.
"Jefferson Airplane, I'm trapped and I am enclosed, but I won't complain, I'll open all the windows. Jefferson Airplane, I'm trapped and I am enclosed, but I won't complain, I'll open all the windows and go...
"And I'll go, to undergo, a surgery to purge me of this lonely mood, and my ego, the status quo, provides me with a decent attitude. And I'll go, to undergo, a change of heart, a change of clothes, and when I'm home, I think I'll go eat cereal and stare out the window."
He sighed, smiled, and began writing on a fresh piece of paper.
--
Jackson Ferrell, one last time, turned on his midi of "Fly Me to the Moon," 1 stood up from his computer, and began to speak.
"I remember, way back in the early days of Slurpee, when Erin Ellis was talking about whether or not I was going to actually finish the series. 'You seem like a ganbareru-jin (keep-at-it-person),' she remarked. And now, it is with great pride that I say, 'Boku wa ganbareru-jin desu yo!' And let me tell all of my loyal readers: it's your fan support and faith in me (especially you, there, Erin, and the rest of my editors!) that kept me going and enabled me to see this through! I want you all to know that I really, honestly love you guys. I mean, would I write fanfics to entertain you if I didn't?
"I've got a tired sort of feeling of accomplishment from writing this. You know that feeling you get when you're just glad to have completed something important? Maybe you did your best, and maybe you didn't, but you did a pretty good job of it anyway, and besides, the big thing is that you stuck with it in spite of yourself, and in spite of getting tired sometimes, and you saw it through. I feel like that right now.
"See, there are a few ideas and things that I still didn't get to include, and I suppose I'll mention them here. First of all, how the 'Yan Can Cook' content slipped off toward the end. I would've liked to include more, but it was already established that Rei liked to watch the show, and it didn't add much humor-wise or otherwise to the story. NERVstock could have been funny, I suppose--but it would really take a whole chapter to do it justice, and I've been pressing to finally wrap things up and bring about closure. NERVstock could go. My brother wanted to be included as a pilot just so he could get his head kicked off by an Angel and have flashbacks at random moments, but he wasn't doing much else humor-wise and the final few Angel battles didn't really provide a good opportunity to introduce or develop the idea. So I killed him off, which I suppose was some sort of commentary on what ought to happen to original or "original" fanfic-characters who only really serve as gimmicks.
"Reese's little speech, by the way, comes off of Five Iron's live album, "Proof That the Youth Are Revolting."
"I must admit that the whole Dan-Hibiki-is-an-Angel thing borrows rather heavily from Magical Troubleshooting Crossover Fighting Federation ULTRA . I did, if I remember correctly, conceive the idea before reading any ULTRA, but it certainly was a strong influence on my characterization of Dan. As well as playing a bunch of Pocket Fighter. Dan Hibiki is a registered trademark of Capcom or something; at any rate, he's not my character, so don't blame me.
"By the way, here’s a tip to writers fanfictionful and otherwise: use spellchecker. I’m a pretty good speller, but spellchecker caught some really stupid slip-ups on my part. It’s seriously indispensable.
"The Special Thanks from the end of SLURPEE 0:8 still holds. Especially with regard to Kami-sama, to whom I owe much more than I could ever repay--so it's fortunate that I don't have to. I owe Him for my writing ability, for starters. If there is anyone else to whom I will give a Special Thanks, you'll find them in the credits below. So long for now, everyone. It's been real fun!"
Jackson Ferrell finished speaking. He que'ed up the official Shin Slurpee Evangelion ending themes, "The End of the Tour," in his Winamp playlist window. As the credits rolled and the ending themes played, he left the computer and went to go to bed.

Chorus At the end of the tour when the road disappears if there's any more people around when the tour runs aground and if you're still around then we'll meet at the end of the tour The engagements are booked through the end of the world so we'll meet at the end of the tour
Never to part since the day we met out on Interstate 91 I was bent metal you were a flaming wreck when we kissed at the overpass I was sailing along with the people driving themselves to distraction inside me then came a knock on the door which was odd and the picture abruptly changed Repeat Chorus
This was the vehicle these were the people you opened the door and expelled all the people This was the vehicle these were the people you let them go
