Introduction

Chapter 1

A Day of Confusion

((Katsuragi Residence))

It's an early weekend morning. It is different though, as Shinji is woken up by noise in the kitchen. Shinji notices that it isn't Asuka, so he thinks that it must be Misato up early, which is very unusual for the weekends. He gets up to investigate. As he walks in the kitchen he finds that Misato is all dressed for work.

"Misato, I thought you didn't have to go to work on Saturdays. Why are you all dressed up?" asked Shinji.

She replied, "I'm going on a business trip."

"A business trip?" Shinji asked with a confused look on his face.

"Yes," answered Misato, "I'm leaving you in charge, I left fast dinners for you, go ahead and have a friend over if you want, I'll be home tomorrow. And tell Asuka everything I just told you. Can you do that?"

"Sure," replied the obedient Shinji, "but may I ask you one thing?"

"Go ahead."

"What is this business trip for?"

Misato hesitated, as she approached the door she said, "I'll tell you when I get back."

"Okay, bye."

"Bye Shinji." Misato then walked out the door.

((NERV))

"I'm suprised you actually got up for this Misato," said Ritsuko in a playful voice.

"Save it, at least I got here before Kaji," said Misato.

"Not exactly," said the voice of Kaji.

Misato then seemed to lose all hope of Kaji missing the trip. Quickly changing the subject, Misato put the conversation on the business trip, "Is the air carrier set to fit unit five?"

"Yes, it has been refitted to fit unit five's customizations," answered Ritsuko.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get this underway," commented Kaji.

"I just hope unit five's pilot will like this place. What did you say his name was Ritsuko?" asked Misato.

"Tiro Meier," answered Ritsuko, "The intriguing thing is his profile."

"What do you mean?" asked Misato.

"Well he has 20:15 vision without glasses, he can hear people whispering from twenty feet away, he has an I.Q. of 100, and his reflexes are of the best I have ever heard of."

"Wow, I can see why he was chosen to pilot unit 5," Misato said with a look of amazement on her face.

"Interesting. Well, we don't want to keep Tiro waiting now do we? Let's go," said the enthusiastic Kaji.

The three of boarded the air carrier, set for the U.S.

((Katsuragi Residence))

Back at home, Asuka wakes to find Shinji eating breakfast alone. She examines for a minute and finally asks, "Where's Misato?"

"On a business trip," answers Shinji.

She yawns. "What's it about?"

"She didn't tell me."

"Then it must be something good." Asuka suddenly had the look of excitement on her face.

"What do you mean?" asked the confused Shinji.

"Well if she didn't tell you then it's a suprise, right?"

"I guess your right."

"Of course I'm right!" Asuka said angrily.

"Okay, don't get mad at me!" Shinji then remembered what Misato's orders were, and told Asuka everything she told him.

"Well since she's gone I'm going to meet up with Hikari and invite her over."

"Okay, bye." Asuka then left. Shinji was home alone.

((On the way to Hikari's house))

As Asuka was walking over to Hikari's house she noticed her heading in the direction of school. She shouted, "Hey Hikari." Hikari looked in her direction and walked over.

"Hi Asuka," Hikari had somewhat of a smile on her face.

"You look happy, like you just met a guy happy."

She blushes, "No what makes you think that?"

"Oh come on, your blushing," said Asuka.

"No I'm not!" says Hikari, covering her face.

"Come on, who is it?" said Asuka demanding an answer.

"No one, really," Hikari said, trying to convince Asuka that she was telling the truth.

"Ok. By the way, would you like to come over, Misato is out of town and wont be back until tomorrow,"

"I'm sorry, I can't. I have to go file this at school."

"What is it?" asked Asuka.

Hikari hesitated. "It's the profile of the new student we're having on Monday."

"Really? Who is it?" right then Asuka had a sinister look on her face.

"His name is Tiro Meier." She seemed to have blushed suddenly to the sound of the name.

"Oh, I see." Asuka then chuckled. "Well how about after your done?"

"Okay that sounds like a plan."

"Okay see you then." Asuka still had that sinister look on her face.

"Okay bye." The two then parted, Asuka to the apartment, Hikari to school.

((Katsuragi Residence))

Later on in the day, Asuka happened to cross by Misato's credit card. "Hey Shinji, I have a friend coming over, could you go get pizza for us?"

"Pizza? How are we going to pay for this?" Shinji asked with confusion.

"With this!" Asuka held out Misato's credit card.

Shinji sighed, "Okay, since you have a guest I'll go order it."

"Good boy. Now go! And be quick about it!"

Shinji ran out the door with the card.

((Apartment Complex Hallway))

As he was walking down the hall toward the elevator, he turned the corner and bumped into Hikari, knocking her to the ground. "Ugh, sorry."

"Ouch! Watch it!" She then dropped the picture of Tiro.

"Who's that?" asked Shinji.

"He's our new student, Tiro Meier." Once again she blushed a little.

Shinji looked at her, all confused, "Okay, I'm going to get pizza." He then went down the hall into the elevator.

((Katsuragi Residence))

"Damn! What's taking him so long? He's late!" Asuka had an angry look on her face. She then noticed that Hikari wasn't paying attention to her, but instead was looking at the same photo that she's been carrying around all day. She went up behind her and snatched the photo from her, "Well, who's this?" Asuka asked playfully.

Hikari tried to grab the photo back, but Asuka put her hand against Hikari's forehead so she couldn't reach. "Asuka please give it back."

"I knew it, you met a guy!" Asuka looked excited.

"No it's not what you think." Hikari was struggling to get it back.

"You can have it back, once you tell me who it is."

Shinji then walks in the door with the pizza. Asuka then stops to look, while that's happening Hikari snatches the picture back. Shinji just stands there then finally asks, "May I ask what's going on?"

"Hikari has a crush!" Asuka says playfully.

"Hey it's the picture of the new student!" Shinji points out.

Hikari felt embarrassed.

Asuka then notices that she completely embarrassed Hikari, and quickly changes the subject, "Well, what are we waiting for. Let's eat."

The rest of the night, Hikari is staring at the picture of Tiro, wondering what he will be like.
