Hmm... this got a bit silly ^_^ Ok, it was definitely silly. But after reading Pam's and all the other weird Xovers (christmas parties come into mind...) I decided to write one of my own...

"I welcome everyone to our weekly support group meeting. Now, I noticed a few new faces in the group today. Why don't all of you get up and introduce yourselves? Don't be shy. Everyone here is in situations similar to yours, so just let yourself speak."

Shinji nodded at the newcomers, and then sat down and waited for one of them to stand up. He noticed Rei II and III sitting together and giggling. He sighed and shook his head. He should never have let those two sit together...

"Hi-hi. Um... this is my first time here, but... my name is Daisuke, and the machine I pilot is Giant Robo..." The young man looked around a bit nervously, but was greeted by an enthusiastic Asuka. "Daisuke-kun! Don't be so nervous. Everyone here is just like you, ok?"

Daisuke smiled and nodded before sitting down. Next, a young man with short brown hair was pushed up by a teen with a long brown braid. "My name is Heero, and I pilot the Wing Gundam." Then he sat down, apparently satisfied that he had said his piece.

Duo sighed, and told the group, "Sorry about Heero, but he's a little shy..." He shook his head sadly as Heero gave him a dirty look, and then continued. "Still, if there is a person who needs the 'Counseling for Young Mecha Pilots' program, it's Heero... Geez, that's a mouthful."

Shinji smiled. "Call it Mech Anon... that's what I call it, anyway. Hmm... All of us here, including me, need someone to talk to. That's what this group is here for, and why we EVA pilots formed it. I'm glad you managed to get your special friend here, Duo. You've talked about him enough to make us feel as if know him already."

Heero gave Duo another glare, and then slumped down in his chair. Shinji gave another look around the room, until another person stood up. "Hi. Ah... Am I in the wrong support group? I'm D-Boy... I turn into a Tekkaman..."

Quess smiled from her seat, and told him, "You're looking for 'People for People Who Turn into Mechs'. It's two doors down... you'll know it because one of them is inspired to do demonstrate every five seconds. She sighs and shakes her head, remember what had happened when the Duklyon duo and the Borgman had gone at it...

"Thanks!" As D-Boy disappeared, Hikaru smiled and went up to the last newcomer. "Hi! What's your name?" Van started. "Uh... Van Farnel. I just came 'cause Hitomi said that I needed to work out some issues between me and Escaflowne..."

Hikaru clapped her hands. "Hitomi? Oh, I know her. She attended a lecture with me and the rest of the Knights... um, it was called, 'When A Magical World Becomes Your Future'... or something like that. So... you're *that* Van..." Van blushed as Hikaru gave him a speculative look.

Hikaru looked at him for a moment before she started to giggle. "Don't worry! I'm very happily married... I don't want anyone besides my two husbands anyway." Shinji cleared his throat. "Hikaru-chan... please?" Hikaru nodded and went to sit next to Umi and Fuu.

"Anyway, now that we're all here... why don't we introduce ourselves for the newcomers?" Shinji pointed to himself, Asuka, Touji and the two Reis. "We're Evangelion pilots, and all of us were messed up to a large extent... that is, until this program. It really changed out life around. Ok, who's next?"

Hathaway stood up. "Hi! All of us pilot some sort of Gundam related mecha... And of course, our Gundams are the real thing." Quess, Camille and Kou all stood up and waved. Duo glared at Hathaway. "Let's not start that again, ok? I don't need it, and the group doesn't need it..." Duo glared at Hathaway for a moment longer before turning to Heero and ignoring the other Gundam pilots.

A young, black haired boy got between the two glaring pilots. "Ahem. Anyway, my name is Taishi, and I pilot Kishin Four-" He was interrupted by a breathless young man who came running in with a crowd of others. "Sorry we're late, everyone. But our Valks were involved in a bit of an accident..."

"Isamu, Guld, Hikaru, Max. Couldn't you have at least tried to be quiet about coming in?" The four stood penitently for a second, before becoming the rather loud, obnoxious people that they usually were. Shinji shook his head, not wanting to provoke another shoot-out like last time. *Thank god the Dominatrix magic users got out of hand too, or else we would have lost this room for sure...*

"Well, it seems like introductions are just about done. So, to the topic of discussion for today... 'How to Really Love Your Mech'. I know that Noa will want to say something about this..." Shinji smiled as the young, bubbling redhead started to speak about her love for Alphonse... *Well, it seems like today's going to go better than last week...*
