Authors note Alright here it goes folks.  I decided that Hikari needed to tell her story.  Plus she needs to have her happy ending, Wait, Eva and a happy ending?  Well anything is possible.  He-he  Anywho enjoy the sappiness!!

Is there any way I can stay in your arms?

'Cause I love you whether it is wrong or right, I just wanna be by your side!!

She thought to herself while she looked at him from across the room.  Like so many other times she watched him, trying hard to not catch his attention, because the one thing she wanted so bad was also the one thing she feared the most: him finding out.  She wished everyday that he would realize for once that she was all he needed. Yet she was scared of that moment, if it ever happened. 

So she sat there in her chair trying to understand what her friends were talking about. 

"So we're going, right?" one of her friends asked.

"Umm yeah sure" she shrugged cause heck if she knew what was going on.

Her friends continued planning what to do the next day, while she just sat waiting to go to class.  Like so many other days she wasn't ready. She had started to hate being class rep. It seemed as if everyone else thought it was an easy job, but it wasn't.

It seemed like school was becoming pointless.  More and more she wanted her life to begin.  Her real life!! She wanted to finally fall in love with her prince charming, ride off into the sunset like some fairy tale princess and live happily ever after.  Yet she knew that was just a silly dream, if only because Touji was far from a brave knight on a dashing horse; he'd be more likely to show up at her doorstep in a sweaty tracksuit than to whisk her away on a noble steed.

She also knew that thinking a guy would make everything perfect in her life was a joke.  But it was something to make the days go by more quickly. 

Later that day she wrote in her diary, like she always did.

I saw him today again.  Btw what is up with every entry in this diary being about guys!! Oh well.  That's what my life consists of.  I saw him yet we didn't talk much, like always!!  I wish I could but I just can't.  Sucks to be me!!  But I'm hoping that soon he'll find out I like him and maybe he'll actually like me.  Lol yeah like if that's ever going to happen.  Seems like my (love) life is always full of disappointment.  I actually think I've gotten use to it.  Sad isn't it?  I can't believe Touji (my cutie pie jock) he-he, is so oblivious.   He has been quite distracted these days.  He must have other things on his mind.  I wish so hard it would be me.  Maybe it is better if he never finds out because he is such a good friend to me; I would hate to lose that if he didn't feel the same way. But then again if he does feel the same way our friendship wouldn't be ruined. sigh I'll let fate run its course…Hikari.

The phone rings at the other end of the Hikari's apartment, and she rushes from the kitchen where she was preparing dinner to the living room.  "Hello?"  Hikari answers catching her breath because as she was running through the living room she almost tripped over one of the many tables. 

 "Hi Hikari!" She hears a familiar voice say.

"Oh hi Asuka," Hikari responded, worried about what Asuka was planning now

"Are coming over to Misato's later today?" Asuka asked.

"Umm I'm not sure; I think I have to go with my sisters to the mall later today"

"Typical of you Hikari, come on don't leave me alone with the stooges. One of them being Touji!! You know you want to go!"

"Well I guess I can go to the mall with my sisters any other time" Hikari responded with excitement, "I'll see you there."

Later that evening she gets a call from Asuka, just as she was about to walk out of her home.  "Hey Hikari, never mind about tonight, gotta work! Argh, I'll see you tomorrow at school okay?"

"Oh okay , yeah see you …" click, "tomorrow… hmmm…She must have been in a hurry" she says as she hangs up the phone disappointed that she wasn't going to be able to see Touji and of course  hang out with Asuka. 

 Saddened she goes into her room, turns on her Sega and begins to play.  She knows she should be finishing her homework but tonight she feels like slacking off. Five minutes later she turns off the game and sits on her bed finishing her homework.  Who was she kidding; she was never going to change. As she falls asleep she reminds herself that tomorrow she told Touji she would have lunch for him. "I hope he likes it."        

Late at night when all the world is sleeping

I stay up and think of you

And I wish on a star that somewhere you are thinking of me too

Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight

Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight

And there is no where in the world I'd rather be

Then here in my room dreaming about you and me.

I Wonder if you ever see me and I wonder if you know I'm there

If you looked in my eyes would you see what's inside would you even care

I just want to hold you close but so far all I have are dreams of you

So I wait for the day to get the courage to say how much I love you.  

I guess I really have to thank or blame, however you might think of it, some people.  First of, Vegeta's lil Princess, you are the one who forced or considered I write this, so this is for you.  Oh and of course I have to thank my mentors Mr. Nicholas Bledsoe and Miss Mia Elf.  Sorry for bugging you so much about some of the stuff Mr. Bledsoe but who else was I suppose to ask about it. Yay! More sappiness to come? He-he  What do you think?
