Chapter 4
Parting and Goodbye
"Shinji-kun, hurry up! Our plane leaves in a half an hour!" Asuka yelled, getting her shoes on.
"Just a minute!" I shouted, putting the rest of my belongings into my carry on bag. I grabbed my SDAT and my mother's locket and ran out the door after her and Misato.
"Gee, took you long enough Shinji!"
"Sorry, I couldn't find my SDAT."
"Oh you and that thing! Geez, it's all you ever do anything with!"
I held my SDAT like it was a sacred treasure. "What do you know Asuka!"
She glared at me and smirked. "Oh Shinji! Did you go out and buy a backbone so you could yell at me?"
"Now, children, don't argue like this on the plane." Misato emphasized the 'children'.
We all took out things and loaded the car. We drove to the airport in silence and Misato parked the car to go drop us off. She escorted us to the door and stopped in her tracks. I turned around.
"Misato-san?" She glomped us and began to cry. I must have been blushing.
"Oh, don't go! I'm going to be all alone in the house and have no one to talk to!" She yelled. I knew that I had tears in my eyes. Asuka had put on a straight face but I know she was to the point of crying herself although she never cries in front of anyone. 'She can't stop bottling up her feelings' I remember thinking.
"Misato-san. I'm gonna write to you every single day, to tell you how I am. I promise!" I cried.
"Me too! Don't worry! We'll keep in touch with you!"
"It's just, I hate being alone!" Misato cried. We were getting strange looks from all the people who passed us.
"Flight 19 to Germany is leaving in 5 minutes. Please board now." The woman on the intercom said.
Misato let us go and finally said, "Goodbye, I'm gonna miss you and your petty fighting. I guess that four years isn't too long."
"Misato-san, were going to se you in less than 6 months! We get thanks giving and then winter break off! We'll come see you then!" I reassured her. She nodded and picked up my fallen carry-on baggage. She handed it to me and hugged us both.
"Behave yourselves and Asuka, say 'hi' to your parents for me okay?"
"Right." Asuka said.
"Sayonara! I said as I ran onto the plane and toward Germany we went.
"Shinji-kun, hurry up! Our plane leaves in a half an hour!" Asuka yelled, getting her shoes on.
"Just a minute!" I shouted, putting the rest of my belongings into my carry on bag. I grabbed my SDAT and my mother's locket and ran out the door after her and Misato.
