As Shinji, Asuka, and Rei continued hanging out together, he was glad that both girls who were once at each other's throats had now become best friends, though one of the things they enjoyed doing together was sampling and eating a lot of delicious foods. This led to both Asuka and Rei gaining some weight as Shinji started to notice the changes in their bodies and how both girls had gone from slim to chubby, yet even then he couldn’t help but be measured by them both, something about their chubby bodies made his heart skip a beat, even if both girls were currently stuffing there faces while walking on the beach, wearing shorts and a bikini top that definitely fit them better a few sizes ago.

Rei: Munch, Munch, Munch… is something the the matter Shinji?

Asuka: Mmph... Yeah, you seem to be spacing out there? unless you were trying to get a peak at us you perv, thought with 2 beautiful girls right in front of you, I wouldn't blame you.

Asuka stated proudly standing next to Rei who was nonchalant about what Asuka said, thought was interested to know what Shinji thought about her
