Author Note: This is just a short piece I wrote (call it a drabble if you want). Figured I needed to update. I want to finish up this challenge soon and start my next story (probably one for bleach) but I promised my self not to start anything new until I finish. The story is from Asuka's perspective but I'm sure you'll realize that fast. Lol writing this I realized how high Asuka's expectations are.

I've never been one for tradition. When has anything exciting ever happened when doing something the same way it has been done a thousand times in the past? Where's the adventure people? So come wedding day, don't be expecting me walking down the aisle in some stuffy old church, dressed in a 100 pound dress. I've been to a wedding before, they aren't all that thrilling. Besides that's more Hikari's kind of thing, safe. How she ever plans to saddle down that jock I'll never know but when that day comes I'll expect the church, the dress and the tux.
How boring! Honestly! Maybe if I ever get married, snort, I'll go somewhere exotic! We'd lie on the beach and my husband would graciously do everything I asked at every whim. I mean what man wouldn't realize how damn lucky they are to have me! Screw what society says, women are the ones that run the household. I already know who I'd marry too (if I ever did). What did you say, Shinji? That damn baka? Are you crazy? Not in a million years! That idiot wouldn't even know the meaning of the word commitment. Don't make me laugh.
No I need a really man, with a spine! Shinji indeed, no the man in my heart will always be Kaji. Oh he's so handsome and he knows how to treat a lady, despite anything that Misato might say. Hikari says he's too old for me but I mean really, I graduated from college when I was fourteen for crisis sake, I'm sure I'm mature enough for an adult relationship. Yes I can see it now, Kaji sitting in the driver's seat (of course this would only be until I get my license) while all the windows are down. I would be in a snug red dress and he'd be in a tux and we'd go dancing! Kaji would get insanely jealous if any other guy even leered at me (although I'd enjoy it) and he would take me to fancy restaurants.
Of course when he'd propose he wouldn't be the type to get down on one knee, that's as cliché as it gets! No he'd do something like paint the words into the sky with fire works for all too see: Asuka, will you marry me? Only Kaji would be romantic enough to do that, placing a huge diamond on my hand. A wedding ceremony is too old fashion for us as well. I never did understand why we had to go to Japan of all places. Anyway eloping is the way to go! Hikari would disapprove but alas there is no other way. I've heard that the United States is a good place to go for that sort of thing; Las Vegas or perhaps Hawaii.
Hikari once asked me if I could ever settle down. Seriously, you better keep this between us or I'll hunt you down and tear you limb from limb, I'm secretly a hopeless romantic. Tell anyone and I'll… breathe Asuka breathe, so anyway, maybe one day when Kaji finally comes around to realize what a great catch I am (like he would ever think other wise) I might be able to compromise, just a little, for him anyway. But don't tell him that! I'm not that easy.
"Asuka, Kaji's here to take you to the mall!"
"You don't need to shout baka- Shinji!" I swear one day I'm going to wring that kid's scrawny neck. Maybe in truth I may just seem like some child to him right now but one day, yes one day we'll drive far away, just the two of us. Because screw tradition, age just doesn't matter!
