It's funny how as soon as I start getting complements on my frequent
updates, I'm late for one. Anyway, I know you just can't wait to read what
this chapter has in store for our young heroes, so I won't bore you with
mindless crap.
-Chapter 8-

Asuka stepped in to the living room dressed in her yellow T-Shirt and low cut shorts to see Hikari and Shinji quietly waiting for her. She was disappointed that she had been prevented from having some fun with Shinji, but was also curious as to why her friend was paying her a visit.
"What's up?" She asked as she sat down next to Shinji so she was facing Hikari.
"Listen Asuka." Hikari looked down for a moment. "I'm sorry about yesterday."
"Huh?"
"When I thought you and Shinji were playing a trick." She whispered. "I should have taken you more seriously."
"Oh." Asuka looked surprised for a moment, but then remembered how angry she had been. She thought she might yell a bit more, but then she saw the painfully sorry expression on her friends face, so that idea went out the window. "It's okay." She said finally.
Hikari looked relieved, but then chose to speak again. "So, now that we've put that behind us, how would you like to go shopping with me tomorrow after school?"
"That's a great idea, Hikari!" Asuka smiled. "But only one condition."
Shinji, who had remained quiet up until this point in time, started getting unnerved by the Red Heads mischievous smile that was now directed at him.
"Shinji has to come with us!" She finally said.
"What?!" Both Hikari and Shinji yelled in unison.
And to add to Hikari's further displeasure, the German girl started moving closer to Shinji until she was literally sitting on top of him.
"You don't mind do you Shinji?" She whispered in to his year.
He couldn't answer.

Ritsuko Akagi walked in to Gendo Ikari's dark, gloomy office and approached his desk, handing him the latest data reports on the recent find.
"Good." He finally said after skimming across some of the data. "This will be most useful."
Ritsuko was about to say something, but the cold-hearted Ikari beat her to it.
"Very well." He looked up and smirked at the woman. "You're dismissed, doctor."
Seeing that it was now pointless to say any anything else, Ritsuko turned on her heels and exited the office.

Back in Ayanami's apartment, Cupid was greatly anticipating to hear what Rei had to say about what he had just asked her to do.
"Very well." She said finally.
"So you'll help me?" He asked hopefully.
"Yes, but I will not deceive others or go out of my way to assist you." She told him stoically.
"Yes!" Cupid yelled happily. "You don't know how much this means to me!"
Rei didn't say anything for a moment, but then she turned to the door and began to walk towards it.
"Come with me." She told him without turning.
"Where are we going?" He asked her, wondering what she had planned.
"There is someone else who can help us." She informed him. "It would also be best if you found a way to conceal yourself."
Cupid though about this for a moment, and then an idea sprang in to his mind. He transformed himself in to a hat, which perfectly matched Rei's eye colour, and floated on to her head.
"Hope you don't mind." He said. Rei didn't answer. "You look good!" Cupid told her as they passed by a mirror on the way out of her apartment.
'Red.' She thought to herself. 'The colour I hate.'

On the other side of town, Touji and his spectacled comrade were deep in thought about a devious plan of their own. They wanted to get back at Sohruy for taking their friend away from them, and also get back at Shinji for betraying them like he did.
"That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard!" Kensuke shouted at his friend.
"Well, what do you propose we do?" Touji asked him exasperated.
"I have an idea." Kensuke told him quietly, an evil smile spreading across his features.

Back in the Katsuragi household, Hikari had left the two pilots alone, meaning that Asuka could still have some fun with her new "boyfriend". Currently they were both involved in a good old game of 'Kiss Chase,' the only difference being: Shinji was not running away from a kiss, but to preserve his chastity.

This was an exceptionally short chapter, and it didn't really clear anything up. The next one should be better though, you have my word.
