A/N: Well, I've been having some computer problems, AND I've been screwing up a lot trying to write this one. -/;; so I'm VERY sorry for making you guys wait. I'm starting to write my stories a little different.

Also, Special thanks to ST Pika for everything, for if it weren't for him, well, this story wouldn't be around.

THIS STORY MIGHT NOT BE FUNNY AT PARTS! I find it very difficult to write funny things! I am very sorry, and I hope you still read.

Oh, BTW! I'M MAKING THIS An SxA! (Nothing else, it's too hard, I've been trying for a LONG TIME!)

Oh, this chapter will be in a different writing style… I wrote it a while ago, and it would take too long to re-write it, so…

Anyways, again, VERY SORRY for making you, the very respected readers and reviewers, wait! To make up for it, I'm going to try and make this chapter a long one. Anyways, here you go!

ANY WRONG SPELT WORDS ARE PURPOSELY MADE! (When Misato's drunk for example, its how she talks!)

Misato's apartment, 7:00 pm

Shinji: (thinking) Good… she's too busy to notice me. (Grabs SDAT and heads out the front door.

Misato: (Drunk) Huh..? Wazzat? I zought I 'eard zom'tin… Oh well. (enthusiastically) Penny-Pen, more Beerzz pleez!

Pen-pen: (under his breath) Squack… It's going to be a LONG night. – (grabs a beer)

Pen-pen walks over to Misato, hands her the beer, and walks off.

Misato: (squealing) Thanks yah Penny! (quickly guzzles the beer) (slumps down and passes out)

Pen-pen: (happily) Squawk! – Finally! (hops up and down) (Stomach growls) SquAWK! –Aww MAN! She forgot to feed me… AGAIN! –

MEANWHILE

Asuka's room, after the Misato Incident

Asuka is trying on one of the MANY (A/N: and I mean MANY) outfits she bought.

Asuka: Hmm… I wonder what Shinji will think if I show him this… (evil smile, but it quickly fades) I wonder where he went though… I went into the living room to check on him, but he wasn't there. Better change though, Misato wants me to cook.

MEANWHILE

Somewhere Outside

Shinji is walking down the road, listening to his SDAT.

Shinji: (thinking) I wonder what Asuka thinks of me… does she even think of me? I know she thinks I'm spineless, but… I guess I just want to know if she wants me to change.

Of course she wants you to change.

There it was, the voice in his head. Always taunting him in his moments of peace.

Shinji: Go away. You don't do me any good. Shinji said as he sat down on a bench in the park.

Hmm… You know, if you actually listened to me more often, you would have a LOT more luck getting Asu—

(A/N: Ok, I'm getting tired of writing 'Shinji:' over and over when he's thinking, so I'll just write it in Italics for this part of the story.)

Shut up! Just shut up! I don't want Asuka! I don't… Do I?

See? What did I tell you? I can help, but you have to stop trying to shoo me away.

Hmm… Help me find if Asuka likes me, and, if, IF she does like me, help me get her. Then, and only then will I stop.

Good. We have a deal then?

Yes. Now go away and let me rest.

Fine. I'll see you later then.

Hope not…

Hey!

SHUT UP!

Silence.

Finally.

Shinji sighed as he closed his eyes, and tilted his head back, letting sleep envelope him…

Back at the Apartment

Misato had just woken up, and has a SERIOUS hangover.

(A/N: Here we go folks, for the first time in this fic, Misato Sober:clapping: Yay!)

Misato: Ugh… Asuka, where's Shinji?

A flash of fear flashed across Asuka's face, but she quickly hides it.

Asuka: Where did he go? He wouldn't stay out this long without leaving a note… (A/N: This is all for something soon!)

Asuka: I don't know Misato! I'll go look for him. What about dinner though?

Misato: It's okay! I'll order takeout.

She ran out the door, noticing she forgot to do her hair.

Asuka: … After I do my hair!

Misato: … Young lo—

Asuka: DON'T YOU DARE! (glaring)

Misato: EEP!

Back at the Park

Drip

He heard it.

… Drip

There it was again.

… Drip

What are you?

… Drip

Show yourself!

… Drip

Shinji awoke to a wet feeling on his nose.

Shinji: Huh..?

He blinked

Shinji: What the… Oh. Does this have to happen? Now?

That shouldn't matter. What DOES matter, is that your sitting out here, in the park, all alone, with no jacket, in the rain.

Hmph, I thought I told you to go away.

Just because I'm right…

Fine! I'll go home!

Thanks.

Shut up.

…

Misato's Apartment's door

Asuka, after 25 minutes of working on her hair, FINALLY steps up to the door.

Asuka: Oh, it sounds like its raining… better grab an umbrella.

She grabs an umbrella, and then heads back to the door.

She opens the door outwards, and it stops half way.

Asuka: What the… (shoves the door)

Asuka hears a Yelp

Asuka: … this is weird… (looks around door) Shinji-kun! Where have you been?

Shinji: (laying on the ground, swirls for eyes) oww… (rubs red mark on his forehead as he stands up) ouch… Asuka, has anyone told you you're strong? Wait, don't answer that.

Did she call me Shinji-kun? Okay, okay, it's just me… Reality before fantasy… Reality before fantasy…

Hmm… well, that's half of my side of the deal.

Shut up.

Take your own advice.

Shut up! If I'm caught arguing with myself, they're most likely going to send me to a mental hospital.

Maybe that's where you belong…

Shut up.

Why do you keep saying that!

First of all, I'm not saying it; I'm thinking it. Second of all, because your annoying the heck out of me.

Silence.

Shinji: Sorry Asuka… I had to. think.

Asuka: Yah, well, think inside! (concerned) Look at yourself, you're soaking wet! And what about your SDAT? Does it still work? GOD Shinji, why were you out there?

Shinji: (surprised) Ehh… Asuka, slow down, I can barely understand you!

Misato: (teasingly) 'Aaaayyyyy Shinji, looks like yah gir—

Asuka: MMISATTOOOO! (lunges at Misato)

Shinji: err… yahh… I'm going to go to my room. Asuka, when you two are done, come into my room. I need to talk to you. (walks off)

Asuka: (sparks with interest) Huh? (steps on Misato, who is on the floor) Comin' Shinji!

Asuka quickly jumps into Shinji's room, and looks around the room.

Asuka: Shinji! Where are yah?

Shinji: (barely whispering) Asuka… I'm up here.

Asuka looks up, and sure enough, she finds an open hole in the roof. A small rope ladder slyly finds it's way down. Asuka climbs up, and finds Shinji there, waiting for her.

Shinji: (quietly) Come… try not to make any noise.

Asuka simply nodded her head in agreement. Shinji leads Asuka down a dark, metal hallway. After walking for a minute or so, the hallway stops, and a ladder is on the wall.

Asuka: Shinji, you first, I know you are a Hentai…

Shinji: Shh! Don't say anything!

Shinji whispered/yelled at Asuka. Asuka's face showed hurt.

Asuka: sorry…

Shinji: (Agitated) ugh… sorry Asuka… I just. Just. Have a lot on my mind right now.

I should tell her…

Yes, you should.

Oh… there you are. I was wondering when you were coming to annoying the heck out of me, so I can yell at myself, and make myself look crazy in front of the person I think I'm in love with.

Ahh… you THINK you're in love with her?

No… I KNOW I am… but – how am I to tell her?

I'll try and help!

Err… thanks, I guess.

Shinji: (climbing the ladder, with Asuka behind him) Almost there… Now you have to stay silent, or someone will hear us. (points to a part of the wall) These are thin walls… and people DO live here, you know.

Asuka: (nodding head in agreement) Right.

Asuka and Shinji finally get to the end of the ladder, and Shinji opens a hatch that leads to a room. Shinji stands, turns around, and grabs Asuka's hand to help her up.

Asuka: (blushing) Shinji… where are we...?

Shinji: shhh… listen. (silence) It's stopped raining. Oh, and we're on the roof.

Asuka: I didn't know you could get to the roof… (talking to herself) So this is where you always disappear to…

Shinji: I only go here when I need to think… and you're the first I've ever showed this place to.

Shinji points over towards a door

Shinji: lets go.

Shinji leads Asuka out the door, and she sees a little overhang with a bunch of things essential for living.

Asuka: (observing) Wow… 3 sleeping bags, a fridge, 2 bean bag chairs, a tv, laptop, heh, an SDAT, 2 mini tables with cub boards full of food, 10 blankets, a cell phone, pocket knife, some flashlights, lots of batteries, a few coats… and a, picture of, us…? Shinji… Where did you get this… and why is it here?

Shinji: Asuka, we have a lot to talk about…

Shinji's hair was covering his eyes, so Asuka couldn't read his expression. Shinji lays down on a few blankets, and stares at the sky, though, Asuka can't stop wondering… what is this all about?

Shinji: I know I love her… I have to tell her. Asuka, I -… I have to tell you something.

Asuka: Sure Shinji, but, what is this all about?

Shinji motions for her to sit on the blanket, which she does – REALLY close to Shinji.

Shinji: Asuka, I - … I think I… Well… Asuka, I l-love…

Asuka's eyes were widened, her heart pulsing, and her hands twitching. She was waiting, wondering, hoping…

… you.

A/N: Well, there we go! I finished writing this chapter, and I left you guys at a cliff. Mission accomplished! ;; As I said, this story isn't going to be as funny as it was, IT IS TO DANG HARD! Blahh. Anyways, I fixed parts of Chap 2, and thanks to everyone for the help.
