Well, a second part to my fic.
_______________________________________________________________________

Rei and Chris walked arm in arm down the road leading to Rei's appartment.
"Lets go to my place, it'll probably be quieter there than at Ritsuko's." Chris smiled at Rei's suggestion.
"Yeah, Ritsuko and Misato are having a drinking contest so... the place will be unsuitable for a date." Rei leaned her head on Chris's shoulder as the lift door closed. Rei pushed the button for the ninth floor and the lift whired into life. The lift juddered up, 4, 5, 6, 7 ,8 and finally 9. They stepped out of the lift and down the hall. Rei unlocked her door.
"Come in and make yourself at home." she beamed, as they entered her spartan apartment. They sat around her small dining table.
"What food should we order?" pondered Chris. "What do you like Rei?"
Rei furrowed her brow. "I don't mind... but pizza sounds great!"
Chis nodded. "One extra large pizza coming up. What toppings should we have?" Chris had a brainwave. "How about we get one of those five topping pizzas. That way we'll get a large selection." Rei nodded.
Chris pulled out his mobile phone. It was supposed to be for Nerv business... but in this situation, he didn't care.
"Hi, Jossepis Pizzeria..." the voice on the phone said. "Let me take your order." Chris ordered the extra large five toppinged pizza. Chris put away the phone and looked at Rei.
"It's gonna be here in fifteen minutes." He sighed and lowered his head.
"Whats wrong?" Rei asked concernedly. She took his hand and squeezed it tightly. Chris put his other hand on hers then hers on his. "Whats wrong?" she asked again.
"I... I, I can't tell you. Its personal." he looked into her eyes. "I want to tell you... but its... its to hard." There was a knock on the door.
"Pizza delivery!" came a yell from outside. Chris got up and opened the door.
"Thanks." the pizza delivary boy, complete with money and tip ran off down the hall. Chris closed the door and put the pizza down on the table and sat down again.
"Lets eat, I'm starving." Chris tried to put on a happy face, but Rei could see through it.
"Chris?" she said softly. "Why wont you tell me about whatever it is your so unhappy about? Wont it be better if you get it off your chest?" Rei opened the pizza box. "Why don't we talk about it while eating? Don't want to waste good food." she giggled a bit and started to eat. She soon noticed that Chris wasn't eating. He was staring at her. She met his stare.
"What are you loking at?" she stuck her tounge out at him. She could see that he was not ammused. "Hey, whats really wrong?"
"Ok..." he took her hand in his and started his tale.
"This is very hard for me. I... I don't know if I can do this..." a tear formed in his eye. "My... parents." more tears. "Were... were, k... killed. A... as we were walking t... through a park one m... morning." tears fel to the table in a torent. "T... they were m...m, murdered as I, as I w... watched." Chris put his head in his hands. "There... are you satisfied!" he cried at Rei. Who was shocked by his outbirst. "I... I... I have to go." Chris ran out of the appartment mopping tears from his eyes.
Rei was stunned. But most of all, she was cross at herself.
"I pushed and I pushed him. I... went too far." she said to herself. She stood up, threw on her pulover, and ran after him. She wandered around the Tokyo for an hour before she found him. He was sat on a park bench in the middle of a well visited park. She walked over, sat down... and hugged him. He jumped a little, because he didn't see her coming, but he hugged her back.
"I'm sorry for yelling at you Rei. I..." Rei butted in.
"No. I'm sorry. If I hadn't pushed you into telling me... I wouldn't have made you cry." Chris smiled.
"Maybe, we are both to blame. But, I should not cry." Chris put his arm around Rei and pulled her close. Rei was a bit tense at first, but she finally put her own arms around him. Their faces became closer and closer until... their lips met and they kissed.
They finally moved away and they both smiled.
"I love you Rei! I..." Chris started to get tongue tied. "I... Urrr, ummm.." Rei kissed him like he had kissed her. They sat on the bench and kissed for a long time. Then...

A huge explosion rocked the ground. Rei and Chris stopped kissing and stood up.
"C'mon!" shouted Chris. "We have to go." They ran towards Nerv HQ as a huge android towered above the city destroying buildings. They imputted their pass codes hurridly and ran through the winding coridoors towards the changing rooms. They neared the changing rooms as Misato stopped them.
"Rei, chris." she called. "Over here..." she motioned them to her.
"Sorry Rei. Only Chris's Eva is fully operational... He is the only one who can fight." Chris wasnt supprised, only his Eva could beat Selee's Evas anyway. Rei looked at Chris worriedly.
"Be careful." she hugged him. She let go and Chris kissed her on the forehead.
"I'll be ok... I have a beautiful girl to come back to." he ran to the changing room.

Chris threw on his suit, pressed the compression ring and connected his synch nodes. He ran through the gantrys above the Eva cages. He reached Unit-X. He gazed upon the magnificent robot. He jumped into the entry plug.
Maya's voice sang out over the plugs internal comm system. Chris moved Unit-X to the first catapult.
Eva-X shot up to the streets of Tokyo, its head snapping up as it comes to a stop in the famous technological district of Akihabara. Chris looked down at the buildings.
"Hate to do this to all that Manga..." he spread his AT wings to their full length and then analysed the enemy. It was Seele's typical black Eva, which looked like Unit-00. It carried a progressive chacrum in its right hand and heldits other arm out in a sort of defensive motion. Chris smiled.
"Should be a snap." he felt confident that he could win. "Die you monster!"

Chris flew at the Eva, full speed. Seele's Eva threw its chacum at Unit-X. Chris was slow to react and the chacrum hit him full in the stomach and right out of the air. Chris landed hard on his right leg causing great pain. He gritted his teeth and launched himself at his opponent. The Eva threw the chacrum again, but Chris was ready. He hnocked it aside with his spikes and began a fierce hand to hand duel. Both the Evas fought hard, Chris easily parrying the blows and Seele's dodging all attacks.
"Why don't you die quietly!?" Chris yelled as he rammed both his progressive spikes through its face and watched as it fell to the ground defeated. Chris sat there in his plu exhausted, the Evas Seele were sending, were getting better.

Chris exited the plug, his whole body glistened with LCL in the brightly lit Eva cage. He quietly walked to the changeing room, had a shower, got dressed and exited the room. He walked to the end of the coridoor and saw Rei. She was sitting by herself near the exit.
"Hey, you miss me?" Chris called to her. She looked up to see Chris standing at the end of the coridoor. She quickly stood up and launched herself at him, she thew her arms around him and hugged him for dear life.
"Lets go home..." he whispered, as he stroked her hair. They walked homeward through the silent streets, the streets would have been full if not for the Eva attack and the people were not allowed out of the shelters for another half an hour.
"So... where shal we go?" Chris asked. "Somewhere that will stay quiet after they oen the shelters?"
"Good idea!" Rei looped her arm into his and they proceeded to the nearby park. They both lay on the bank of a small stream. Rei with her head on Chris's chest. They lay there well into the evening, untill...
Chris's mobile phone rang. He answered it.
"Hello?"
"Chris, its Ritsuko... Where are you?" she sounded pretty angry.
"I'm in a park." he responded. "Whats wrong?"
"You should have been home for tea an hour ago!"
"Sorry Ritsuko... I'll be back as soon as possible"
"You'd better be, your tea is warming in the oven." the phone went dead. Chris sighed and got up.
"Where are you going?" asked Rei.
"Home, I forgot about tea and Ritsuko's prety annoyed." he helped Rei up. "D'ya want me to walk you home first?" Rei shook her head.
"No, its ok, you gt home." they kissed passsionately and went their seperate ways.

Well, another episode finished, you know the drill by now...
_______________________________________________________________________
Hi, yet another new episode!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Vacation. The word that makes school kids lose all control.
"Woo Hoo! Vacation!" was thje general cheer from the class.
It was the winter vacation and the class was extatic. There was going to be a school dance to celebrate. The dance would be held on saturday evening. It was going to be a formal dance... so that meant asking someone to go with you. Shinji naturally asked Auska and Touji asked Hikari. Everyone was asking people out. The end of lesson bell signified lunch time and the class ran out of he room to the school caffeteria. The only people who remained, were people who brought their lunch with them.

Chris walked over to Rei, who greeted him with a kiss.
"So... got anythig to ask me?" Rei whispered seductivly in his ear.
"Maybe... oh, I got'ta go!" Chris smiled and started to leave. He turned. "Come round tonight around eight thirty, I've got something to show you." Then he left in a hurry.
Rei was puzzeled..."Why didn't he ask me to the dance?" she thought to herself. "I felt sure he would... Maybe thats what tonights about. I wonder..."

Chris got home and started to prepare. He went into the living room and saw Ritsuko watching TV.
"Hi, good day?" Ritsuko automaticaly called when Chris entered.
"Yeah, great. I just found out theres a dance on saturday."
Risuko smiled evily at him. "So... asked anyone yet?" she giggled. "I see you and Rei have been spending LOTS of time with each other..." she burst out laughing. Chris sat down next to her and looked at her pleadingly.
"Ritsuko. You may laugh... but I love her. And I want you out of the house tonight." Ritsuko stopped laughing and looked into his eyes.
"Its not what I think it is... is it?"
"No!" Chris blurted out. "I want to cook her a meal, and ask her to the dance. NOT what you were thinking!"
"Thats a relief..." she sighed mopping her brow. "When d'ya want me out?"
"I need you out buy eight thirty. Rei should be here by then." Chris smiled. "I really apreciate this." Ritsuko looked evily at him again.
"You OWE ME for this." she grinned. "When I need a favour, you have to accept." Chris groaned,
"I knew there would be a catch." he groaned again.

Around ten minutes later Ritsuko was about to leave. "I'm going now!" she called.
"Now? Its only five thirty..." he was confused. He didnt think she would go this early. "Bit early isnt it?"
Ritsuko burst out in an evil laugh. "Ohh, didn't I tell you? I'm going to Misatos, then later bar hopping with her and Kaji." she smiled as she saw the look on Chris's face.
"But, but..." was all he could muster.
"I'd already aranged to go out tonight. You still owe me a favour though." she went out of the appartmend grinning, and Chris thought he heard her whisper the word "SUCKER!"

Chris sweatdropped in true Manga style and started to cook the special meal for Rei.
"At least she's out of the way."
It was eight twentyfive, and the meal was ready. Rei was a vegetarian, so he had prepared a nice selection of dishes:
Spring rolls.
Pasta salad.
Fish bake.
and last but not least,
Chocolate cake for afters.

Chris was feeling pretty pleased with himself as he set the table. He laid out the best plates, the good cutlery... and a candle in the middle.
"Perfection." he said out loud, to no one in perticular.
There was a light knock at the door. "Who is it?" Chris called.
"Its me, Rei." came the reply. Chris lit the candle, dimmed the lights... and opened the door. Rei stepped in and looked around.
"Like it?" Chris beamed.
"Yes... its wonderfull. Is this what you wanted to show me?"
Chris took her arm and guided her to the table. "Yes. It is. I wanted to show you how much you mean to me." Rei clutched his hand tightly and gave him a big kiss. Rei sat, while Chris brought the food. They ate every morsal from their plates.
"That was delisciouse! Where did you learn to cook like that?" Rei asked, sipping the wine Chris had "Borrowed" from Ritsuko.
"School. Where I used to go, they did after school classes in practical cooking." Chris stood up quickly. "Ohh, forgot desert!" he opened the fridge and brought out the most wonderfull looking cake ever. He cut two large slices, gave the first to Rei and the second to himself.
"Try it..." Chris grinned as Rei tasted it. Her eyes widened.
"This IS great!" she exclaimed. "You never cease to amaze me." she pulled him close over the table and initiated another kiss.

They finished their cake, put the rest in the fridge and they both sat on the sofa watching a film. Chris put his arm around Rei's shoulders and kissed her on the cheek. She responded by snugling up to him and leaning into him with her head on his chest. Chris stroked her short blue hair gently, as she lay their in his arms. And thats how Ritsuko found them in the morning, asleep together, in a loving embrace.

Chris was awokened by the sound of cooking food. He got up slowly, being careful not to wake Rei. Who was asleep in his arms. He placed her head on a compfortable cushion, and went into the kitchen.
"Morning." greeted Ritsuko. The scientist making a large round of toast and had already made the kitchen look like a bomb site.
"Morning. Chris lazily replied. "What time is it?"
Ritsuko looked at her watch. "Seven. Why?" Chris sighed in relief.
"Its a school day... Remember... I do go to school ya know." Chris left the room and yawned all the way. "I'll go walk Rei home when I've finished getting changed." Chris hurridly showered, changed and got his school bag.
"Wake up gorgeous..." he whispered in Rei's ear. She stired slightly, but didnt wake. He could swear he saw her smile when he called her gorgeous. "Hey... your not asleep!"
She opened her eyes and giggled. "Lets go, I need to get changed." she stood up and eaded for the door. She finished tying her shoelaces, stood up, and turned to him with a look that could melt anyones heart.
"You really think I'm gorgious?" Chris smiled at her question.
"Of course I do. I said so didn't I?" She looked at him with puppy dog eyes.
"Yes but... I thought you invited me around to ask me to the dance on saturday." she pouted. Chris slapped his forehead.
"Shoot! I meant to ask you... but we kinda fell asleep." He walked over to her and kissed her on the head. "Rei... Would you do me the honour of leting me escort you to the dance?"

Rei turned a bright shade of red. A tear rolled down her cheek.
"I...I, yes!" Rei flung her arms around Chri's neck and kissed him.
"Ohh Chris... I love you!." Thek kissed for a minute or so, and then sat off for Rei's house. The walk to Rei's was pretty uneventful, the odd meeting with friends who had to be in school early to set out the class room. They eventually arrived and they went inside.
"I'll just be a few minutes." Rei smiled as she ran into her bathroom. The sound of running water echoed through the appartment. Chris noticed that Rei's room was a lot cleaner than it usually was. There were no piles of disguarded garments, and the walls were decorated with miscelanious posters. After a few minutes, Rei emurged from the bathroom, wearing a pink bathrobe and a towel around her hair. She winked at him.
"Just be a minute." she winked.
"Ok, its just that I want to tel you something." Rei sat down next to him.
"What is it?" she asken inquisitively. He put his face close to hers.
"Your beautiful." he kissed her on the lips and she melted right into his arms. They finished their kiss and Rei finished getting changed.
They walked along the path that led to their school and met up with Shinji and Auska.
"Hey guys." Chris and Rei greeted them. Shinji returned the greeting, while Auska simply nodded.
"So, Chris..." Shinji started. "Have you asked anyone to the dance yet?"
Chris put his arm around Rei and smiled. "Of course." He could see Shinji was a bit slow on the uptake, and was looking a little confused. Chris kissed Rei on the cheek. "Get it now?"
Shinji nodded. "Ohhh, so its true that you and Rei are going out." he smiled slightly. "I didnt know if it was true... but I guess it is."
Auska was in a state of shock. "HER!?" she yelled. "You and wondergirl! I just dont believe it!"
Chris interupted her trail of thoughts, "Yes. Me and Rei are going out... and to the dance. Whats your problem?"
Auska would have answered, if not for the school bell. "Damn! We're late for school. C'mon you idiots!" They all broke into a run and just made it to their class in time for registration.
"Whew..." they all breathed in unison.
