Makoto’s Wedding: No Lightning, Just Love

Mako

Finally, we're getting married.

Gendo

The catering bill alone could fund three Eva repairs...

Shinji

(Why does everyone look more terrified than happy? Is this normal for weddings?)

Usagi

Mako-chan looks so beautiful! And she didn't even need to threaten anyone this time!

Gendo

(If I divert funds from the Dummy Plug budget... no, that compromises security... Eh, I'll just fund this from my slush fund.)

Mako

(Did Usagi just say that out loud?!)

Shinji

(Threaten?! What does she mean threaten?!) Is there something you need to tell me Makoto?

Usagi

I-I mean... oh never mind. (Please god just let this marriage happen. I need Makoto tamed already.)

Gendo

So, little miss protector has a dark side eh?

Mako

It was back then. Nami was the one who sold Sanji to me. That was then and this is now. Shinji come down the aisle.

Shinji

(She's glowing... why is she glowing?! Dad, help!)

Shinji

(She's still glowing... Dad's actually smiling... this is a trap, isn't it?)

Mako

Shinji, darling, you're taking too long. The pastor asked you a question.

Gendo

(Enjoy this moment, son. Consider it training for dealing with Angels... and women.)

Usagi

Just say it Shinji! Before she lightning-bolts you like she did to that vending machine!

Shinji

I... I do.

Mako

Perfect! And I definitely do too!

Gendo

To the groom - may he survive longer than his Eva unit.

Shinji

(At least with Angels, death was quick...)

Usagi

She's finally someone else's problem now!

Shinji

(Why is her hand drifting lower?! This is supposed to be romantic, not terrifying!)

Mako

Relax Shinji, we're married now. This is totally normal.

Shinji

(She just grabbed my butt! In front of everyone! Dad's watching!)

Gendo

The boy's learning. Painfully, but learning.

Usagi

I can't believe Makoto's actually doing it! She's normally more unhinged. I'm proud of the progress she's made.

Mako

Mine now, husband. All mine.

Gendo

Tell me, Usagi - do you also enjoy watching your subordinates act up?

Usagi

Look at least Makoto didn't buy her husband like last time. It's a work in progress.

Mako

Time for our honeymoon, husband! The limo meter's running!

Shinji

(She's actually taking me... At least she's not Asuka.) Coming dear.

Gendo

(The slush fund's nearly depleted. Should've invested in that cocaine deal awhile back.) What a wedding eh?

Usagi

Bye Mako-chan! Try not to break him too quickly!

Gendo

Your friend has... interesting methods of courtship.

Usagi

(Denji's calling? Now?! He never calls during weddings...)

Gendo

The venue's charging overtime fees. My card was just declined. I don't know about you, but I'm out of here. Peace!

Usagi

Gotta go! Emergency! Denji's stuck in a vending machine again!

Gendo

Wait! We can split an Uber! My EVA expenses account is frozen!
