Author's note: yeah, I'm taking time to write these now, looking it over, since the last two were disastrous. I hope these will be better. _____________________________________________________________________

Reunited

Two people lay on the ground in the center of the classroom. One appeared to be a red headed girl, the other on the bottom seemed to be a dark haired boy.

As the first of the students arrived, which was usually Hikari and accompanied by Toji and Kensuke, noticed this and screamed at the boys that we got an issue here.

"Oh man, just when things were starting to get good. No one's here. All alone. Crap!" Toji yelled as witnessing the scene in front of them. "What the hell are you doing on top of Shinji!?" screamed a hysterical Toji as he ran towards them, starting to lift her.

"Why's she still wearing her plug suit?" Kensuke just stood there, taking it all in, "and why does she have bandages?

"Shut up!" Toji screamed, still hot from the scene then noticing that his friend was right, he lowered the unconscious girl from his shoulder. "Crap, she smells like the fluid thing in the Eva tube. what was that again? Oh yeah, LCL crap, I smell like that too now!"

"Shut up, both of you!" Hikari yelled frustrated, "help me get these two up! First they're missing and you can't do a thing about it, and then they're here lying on the floor like corpses!"

Toji and Kensuke helped Shinji up from under Asuka, while Hikari helped Asuka up. Both of them didn't want to help Asuka anyways. They erected both of the limp bodies on a chair and no other options but to wait and see what'll happen.

A few minutes passed and an impressively large crowd of students have gathered around the two people, all staring at the two.

"Where are they!" a purple haired woman screamed as she tore her way through the thick crowd. "They've been out for the last 4 or so days!"

"Ahhh, Misato-san," daydreamed the two stooges as she walked by, nearly fainting just by looking at Misato, looking her best as usual.

By the time she reached them, she was yelling and cursing and all that stuff. Everyone looked at her and almost started backing away, even the two stooges, and stopped admiring her.

After a few more minutes of yelling, she finally ran out of words, her mind just went blank, all she could afford to do was to hug them both. After that, Misato asked Hikari, since that she was the person that called her up, what had really happened. She told her honestly as usual what had happened.

"I guess all we should do is wait then, I guess." Misato sighed.

The sensei walked in, observed the crowd in silence, then turned his attention towards the unusually tall person in the front. An unforgettable event flickered in his mind. The sensei turned and just walked out.

"Man, when are they gonna awake!?" questioned Toji, "They're like dead"

"Just wait and shut up, ok!" Hikari yelled, getting impatient from Toji's bickering.

* afternoon *

"This is crap!!!!" Toji yelled, finally unable to take any more of the waiting. Toji pulled back his fist and was about to punch Shinji squarely on the nose, which surely would've caused a broken nose, but Hikari stepped in front of Shinji, both arms raised out. Toji just stared, his face turning red. Everyone had their eyes focused on him.

"Hey, I was trying to help him, ok!" explained Toji. "Well yeah, try helping him in a better way, Mr. Suzahara!" yelled Hikari.

Toji was totally taken back by this. He has seen Hikari in her * bad * moods, and he didn't like it. So he backed away, and sat down at his desk and just let his head just drop to his desk with a loud THUMP.

"Man, I wouldn't blame ya, I would try it too if I could," Kensuke tried to cheer up his friend.

* sometime around 5:00 p.m. *

It started to rain. Everyone just stayed there, not wanting to leave. Misato was staring out the windows staring blankly at the fields. Images flashing through her mind. Third Impact occurred, but somehow, at the same time it didn't. Commander Ikari, used Lilith's and the Eva's power to somehow change the uneventful future so that it never happened. But everyone still remember only faint memories of it, not knowing if it is even true themselves. When Third Impact occurred, somehow, they were taken back to this time as if it never happened. As if Commander Ikari altered the future somehow. Shinji and Asuka were the only ones that didn't (appear) yet.

"Whaa, where am I. Is this hell, sure looks like my classroom to me," asked a sleepy voice that came from Shinji. "Shinji!" exclaimed Misato as she ran over and hugged him, "You're finally awake!" "Hunh. Toji, Kensuke, Hikari, you're all here!" exclaimed Shinji. Then a puzzled look came upon his face, "What about Third Impact?" "We'll get to that later." Misato said with a big sweat drop on her head.

Shinji looked around until he stared at Asuka. Everyone looked at Asuka as well. Why has she not awaken yet?
