UGH! THIS TOOK TOO LONG TO GET OUT! Just like always. I'm sorry everyone. I guess it's just something to be expected now. I'm trying to get this stuff out quicker, but it's just not happening. While I'm appreciative of all my fans, I certainly hope no on is frothing at the mouth for my work. Haha.
Anyhow, I have a couple things to say.
First, regarding the rating and content of this story. As most of us know... here at FF, they don't allow M rated stories (That's what the guidelines say anyways. They don't seem to be terribly enforced) and sex or highly explicit violence. (Apparently, that doesn't stop people from posting it...) This story is going to have both later on. That being said, there's a very real possibility this story could be removed. (I know this site has had purges in the past) No need to fear though. I have this story saved in multiple places. If it does get removed, I'll probably re-upload it on a site that does allow explicit stories. I don't know where for sure I'd re-upload it, but I'd be sure to let everyone know that I did upload it again and where once I figure that out. If it doesn't get removed, feel free to keep reading it here. If it does get removed, I will post a notice in my profile, and I'd also post a 'story' entry to let everyone's whose decided to follow me know as well. Also, another thing to note, I'm highly against censorship, so I'll probably not be writing a non-explicit version of this just for this site. (Why would you even want a non-explicit version though? Why is that a thing? Who in their right mind doesn't want to sink their teeth into a dirty juicy lemon?)
Also, chapter 8, I think I might've finally found out how I'm going to handle this. There's only a few more finishing touches I need to make if I decide to finalize this decision. However, it's probably still going to be awhile before it's out, but I'll try my hardest to get it out as soon as possible.
.
Anyhow, I haven't slept in a couple day, and I'm as tired as Misato is in this chapter. This is the last chapter of Sunshine in the Morning. Hope you enjoy reading it.

Gentle dark red eyes fluttered open to view the morning world. Confusion took form on a waking girl's face before remembrance of the Halloween party the night before replaced the void in her mindscape. Slender pale fingers brushed the girl's blue hair from her face.
She realized she was leaning against a sleeping boy's shoulder and she slowly pulled away from him, making sure not to wake him.
The girl stood up from the couch she'd fallen asleep on and looked around the room she'd awoken in.
Glowing plastic pumpkins where next to several of the walls and bags of candy were on the table near the center of the room. The room itself was mostly dark, the only light coming from an open door.
'This is strange. Why do they celebrate in such a manner?'
Rei walked towards the open door, and upon exiting the wreck room she'd spent the night in, began looking for a clock. Ten feet down the hallway and around a corner held the answer to her curiosity. It was seven in the morning. She would need to be in school soon and so would her fellow pilots.
She stiffly turned around and walked back into the dark room.
Just before stepping into the room, she felt something soft under her foot. She looked down and saw that her mummy costume was slowly starting to unwrap itself from her body and that one of the strips of wrapping had been dragged under her when she had last planted her foot. However, Rei gave it no mind past her initial curious examination, and continued into the room as her outfit steadily became more unraveled.
Rei approached Shinji, who was still sleeping on the couch next to Misato. The little blue haired girl had never woken anyone up before, but she knew that he would need to be at school in about an hour. She stared at him for a moment before she awkwardly poked the boy's cheek.
He didn't stir and Rei continued to stare at him, perhaps expecting a delayed reaction. When he still made no indication that he would wake, Rei decided to gently pry his eyelids open with her fingertips
That seemed to do the trick as the boy finally woke up, even if he did look a little startled.
"Rei? What is it?"
"We must be in school soon, Ikari. I took it upon myself to ensure that you arrived on schedule."
Shinji yawned and rubbed his eyes before stretching and yawning again.
"Oh, well, thanks."
Shinji stood up and looked around the dark room.
Asuka was passed out on a chair across from the couch and Misato was sleeping like a log on the couch he'd just been on.
"I guess we should wake them up too, huh?" Shinji said with a tired smile.
Rei remained quiet and glanced at Asuka before quickly returning her gaze to Shinji. The boy couldn't tell for sure, but it almost seemed like Rei didn't want to wake the others. Though, why she wouldn't want to was beyond Shinji. It wasn't like Asuka didn't go to the same school and Misato had a job to do at NERV. But, maybe Shinji just wasn't reading the mysterious girl right.
Shinji went ahead and started gently shaking Misato in an attempt to wake her. The woman didn't budge much, though her nose twitched some as she snored.
This wasn't the first time Shinji had dealt with a sleepy Misato. But nonetheless, Shinji never enjoyed having to wake her up when she was as tired as an exhausted boulder.
He grabbed her arm and tugged her in the opposite way the she was leaning.
She drunkenly mumbled something in her sleep.
"Nuh, jus one more drink, th'n I swear I'll go home."
At least it seemed Shinji was making some progress in waking the woman up. He tugged at her one last time, trying to induce a falling sensation that would hopefully wake her up if he could topple her onto the other side of the couch.
He pulled her arm and finally managed to bring her face crashing down onto the cushion of the couch.
"Uuuugh, who's it? What're you want?" She grumbled sleepily into the fabric.
"Misato, it's time to wake up. I need to go to school and you have a job here at NERV," Shinji said to the woman.
"What's school? You dun have school," she replied.
"Yes, I do have school, Misato."
"Nuh. I excus'd you out th' oth'r day."
"You what?" Shinji asked the drunkenly mumbling woman.
"You dun have school t'day. I'm takin' th' day off n' so are you."
Misato had been excusing the three pilots from school a lot recently. And, while under the law, an excuse from NERV was a perfectly legal reason to not go to school, Shinji still felt uneasy about it; like he was still breaking the rules society had laid out for him.
"Well," Shinji sighed, "I guess if we aren't going to school today, then I guess we're just going home. I'll wake Asuka up."
Shinji approached the sleeping girl, but quickly lost the will to wake her as she let out an angry snarl in her sleep and started squeezing the cushion she was resting on as though she were choking someone.
"On, second thought, maybe you should wake her up, Misato."
The still drunk woman stood up from the couch, swaying back and forth some as she tried to keep her balance. Her eyes struggled to focus on the sleeping redhead.
Misato stumbled her way around the table between the couch and Asuka. But right as she was about to step around the corner, she tripped on the leg of the table and began toppling forward; her breasts plummeting towards Asuka's face.
'Whoops…' Misato absent-mindedly thought mid-fall.
The very next moment, Asuka's muffled screams could barely be heard through Misato's boobs, but she was definitely screaming alright.
"CN'T BRTH! CN'T BRTH! G'T OOF, YUU PRVRT!" the girl desperately screamed into the abyssal cleavage of Misato's chest.
"What's was th't sweetie?" Misato slurred before passing out on top of Asuka.
Rei blinked in confusion as she watched Asuka squirm and struggle between Misato and the chair she was on. Her head finally emerged out from Misato's boobs, and she gasped for air.
She growled and tried pushing the older woman off her, to no avail.
Asuka craned her head over Misato's massive mounds and caught a glimpse of a somewhat worried Shinji.
"STUPID SHINJI! WHAT'RE YOU STANDING AROUND FOR?! GET HER OFF ME! SHE'S KILLING ME!"
The boy rushed over to Asuka's side, panic all over his face.
"Wh-what should I do?!"
"YOU PULL AND I'LL PUSH! WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO?!"
"R-right!"
Shinji circled around Misato and wrapped his arms around Misato's waist and yanked at her while Asuka put her hands on Misato's breasts and pushed as hard as her slender little arms allowed her to.
"M-Misato! You need to wake up!" Shinji groaned as he pulled on the woman even harder.
"YEAH, WHAT STUPID SHINJI SAID! WAKE UP AND GET OFF ME, YOU PERVERT!"
Rei watched the two children try to hoist the woman off of Asuka. She almost felt what could be described as amusement as she viewed the spectacle, though she never failed to keep a straight face.
Eventually, the combined strength of Asuka and Shinji triumphed over the sleepy woman, and Asuka sent the woman toppling backwards onto Shinji.
"M-Misato-" Shinji choked out from beneath the slowly waking woman.
"Who said did whaaa?" Misato questioned as her eyes fluttered open.
"He's trying to say it's time to wake up, you bedheaded hag," Asuka huffed as she crossed her arms over her breasts and stamped on the floor with her Halloween costume's thighboots.
"Oh…" Misato said in false understanding, "Tell th- doorman I'll make some coffee f'r him soon."
"What? Oh my god! She's still fucking drunk! Urrrgh…" Asuka groaned impatiently.
"M-M-Mi…sat…oooooo!" Shinji once again struggled to say as the woman laid on top of him, "You're…..crushing me!"
"Hey! Would you wake the fuck up, Misato?! You're gonna loose a pilot if you don't," Asuka spat.
"Of course…" Misato said as she still refused to move.
"A…suka! Help…me!" Shinji begged as his arms aimlessly grasped at the floor around him.
"Why should I help you?" Asuka said as she closed her eyes and lifted one of her hands as though she were holding her reasons in her palm, "You peeked at me when we were on the Over the Rainbow. You peeked at me my first night here in Tokyo-3. I mean, sure you make good food and you did just help me, but that doesn't even begin to repay what you owe me."
"Owe you?"
"Why, of course! I am only the prettiest girl in all of Japan. It's a blessing you get to live with someone of such prestige and beauty."
"Asuka! Please! I'll make you cupcakes when we get home! We have the day off from school. Misato pulled us out. I swear, I'll make you double the amount I made last time."
Asuka breathed in and then gazed at the ceiling of the wreck room in thought.
"Hmmm….Make it triple, then we have a deal."
"Yes! Sure! Please! Just help me!"
"Well, why didn't you say so?"
"I did!"
Asuka smirked and then lifted her foot, positioning it on Misato's hip. She then forcefully pushed the woman with her heel and she rolled off of the gasping boy beneath her.
"Don't think that baking a few cupcakes is going to get you off the hook, Third Child. You still owe me," Asuka said as she smiled at Shinji with a very satisfied but very devious smile.
"Right…" Shinji said, just grateful that he could breathe again.
He rolled over and began trying to wake Misato up. It was probably a futile effort, but he had to try.
"Hey, does anyone know where she keeps her keys? I'm not leaving our lives in her drunken hands, so I'll be the one driving us home."
"Asuka, I don't know if that's a good idea," Shinji said as he looked up at the proud girl.
"What do you mean? Of course it's a good idea! Unless you'd rather drag her back home in a train car? Besides, I'm an Eva pilot. Driving a car is probably simple. And even if it isn't, it's not like they're going to arrest me. They can't! I'm too important."
"You make it sound like you haven't driven before," Shinji said, becoming more unsure of Asuka's plan by the moment.
"I haven't! But, like I said. I'm an Eva pilot. What could possibly go wrong?"

"ASUKA, STOP! YOU'RE GOING TO KILL US!" Shinji screamed in terror in the back seat of Misato's Renault.
"NO WAY! THE ONLY THING I'M GOING TO KILL IS THE SPEED LIMIT!"
Rei calmly sat in the shotgun passenger seat, seemingly not worried about a thing as Asuka swerved back and forth between multiple cars driving down the freeway.
"And, I thought Misato was a bad driver!" Shinji said as he desperately tried to keep his still unconscious guardian from breaking her neck or busting her skull as Asuka manically drove Misato's car down the road at speeds that could have made even a fighter pilot's stomach churn.
"HEY! I'M NOT A BAD DRIVER! I'M AN EXCELLENT DRIVER! I'd love to see you drive at this speed and not crash into anything, stupid Shinji," Asuka bragged as she looked back at Shinji and stuck her tongue out at him.
"JUST KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! I WANT TO LIVE THROUGH THIS!"
"Don't worry, you'll be fine with me behind the wheel!"

Ritsuko and Maya had just walked out of a restaurant, having just finished breakfast. The pair walked across the parking lot to Maya's little red car. The young technician had a dreamy and content look on her face, as though everything were going her way.
The two women were just about to get into Maya's little car, but something was…off. Ritsuko heard…a sound. And, eventually, Maya noticed it too.
"Do you hear that?" Ritsuko asked as she strained to hear the sound a little better.
"Y-Yes, Ma'am. It sounds like..."
"Like an engine…" Ritsuko finished.
"And it sounds like it's coming this way."
"Perhaps we should wait before we get on the road. It sounds like they're speeding. And…maybe it would give us a little time to…you know." Ritsuko suggested with a mischievous smirk.
"O-oh! Yes, Ma'am!" Maya said with a blush.
Ritsuko approached her protégé like a cat stalking a mouse. She pushed her against the door of her little car and bit at her neck, causing Maya to whimper as she felt Ritsuko's soft lips meld with her flesh.
Maya raised her hand, and grabbed Ritsuko's hair gently.
"R-Ritsuko!"
"I wish we could do more. But, we are in a parking lot after all," Ritsuko murmured before kissing Maya and sucking on her lips as she pulled away; leaving the poor defenseless girl breathless.
Suddenly, a metallic blue flash managed to steal Ritsuko's attention from Maya. It roared past the parking lot they were in and then screeched around the corner of an intersection.
"Was that…" Ritsuko asked as her voice trailed off.
"Was what what?" Maya replied in a daze.
"I think that was Misato's car!"
"What was it doing?" Maya asked, still trying to reconnect with reality.
"Nothing good by the looks of it."

"ASUKA, PLEASE SLOW DOWN!"
"NO WAY! WE'RE ALMOST HOME!"
"THAT'S WHY WE SHOULD SLOW DOWN!"
"IF YOU THINK YOU CAN DRIVE IT BETTER, THEN YOU GO RIGHT AHEAD!" Asuka said as she took her hands off the steering wheel.
"NO! PLEASE! ASUKA! DON'T DO THAT!"
"Look, Ma! No hands!"
"ASUKA PLEASE!"
"Just kidding!" Asuka said as she stuck her tongue out and glanced at Shinji in the rear-view mirror before putting her hands back on the steering wheel and braking as hard as she could.
Shinji's face slammed into the back of Rei's seat.
"Well, here we are!" Asuka sung.
Shinji felt like he was going to throw up. Even Rei looked like she wasn't very comfortable, though Shinji was probably one of the few people who could notice it with how well she hid her discomfort. Somehow though, Misato had slept through the entire hell-raising car ride.
Shinji opened the door of the car and threw up on the pavement. Rei stepped out and then Asuka after she'd removed the keys from the ignition.
"Are you ill?" Rei asked Shinji gently.
"No…No…I'm fine."
"Well that's great. Because, we still need to get this lazy hag up the stairs and to her room. And, you can bet that I'm not going to be the one to haul her up there. I've done more than my fair share for the day. So, I leave this task in the capable hands of you, Shinji!"
Asuka then pranced up the stairs to the apartment.
"Oh, and don't forget my cupcakes, Shinji! Apple with maple frosting. I expect them to be baked, decorated, and delivered to my room before dinner tonight."
"Got it…" Shinji exhaustingly moaned, "So much for a day off from school."
/
Misato woke up to the scent of a sweet aroma. She immediately knew it was Shinji's cooking. There was no mistaking it. He was cooking Asuka's favorite cupcakes again.
Misato smiled at the thought of him.
'What a sweet boy. He's so thoughtful.'
She stretched. Misato was expecting her hangover to be much worse with how much she drunk last night.
"HEY! WOULD YOU HURRY UP WITH THAT LAST BATCH OF CUPCAKES!" Misato heard Asuka yell.
"They're almost done!" Shinji shouted back.
"AND MAKE SURE YOU GET TO WORK ON DINNER NEXT! I'M STILL HUNGRY AND I WANT TEMPURA FRIED SHRIMP AND UDON!"
"Don't worry. I won't rest until it's done!" Shinji shouted again, albeit somewhat more tiredly.
Misato's smile grew a bit wider and she got up and exited her room.
The setting sun shined through the windows. Rei was sitting on the couch, seemingly watching a show, but obviously not paying much attention to the television. The living room was hot, no doubt a result of Shinji's cooking. Asuka was nowhere to be seen, but she was probably in her room playing video games on her handheld.
Shinji carefully scurried into the living room carrying a platter of freshly made cupcakes.
"Oh, hey Misato. I'm sorry. Dinner will be ready in a little bit."
"No problem. I'm not too hungry right now."
Misato's stomach then growled.
"Well, I thought I wasn't. Anyways, no rush," she said as she smiled at the boy warmly.
He smiled back and continued on his way to Asuka's room.
"Now, Asuka, you really should wait until these have cooled down some-"
"Fuck waiting for them to cool down! I want them now!"
Misato giggled and then walked over to the couch and sat down next to Rei.
"So, what're you doing here, cutie?"
Rei's attentive eyes locked with Misato's sleepy ones and she replied in her usual manner.
"Shinji recommended that I stay here for the night. He said that he would cook for me and nourish me with nutritious food that I do not possess at my own living quarters."
"Aww, that's so nice of him, isn't it?"
Rei looked back at the television.
"Yes, Ma'am," she said only a little louder than a whisper.
"You and him are going on that date soon, right?"
"Yes, Ma'am. That is correct."
"Ooh! I can't wait to buy you a bunch of clothing! It'll be so fun to expand your wardrobe! I can't wait. Trust me! I'll make you look absolutely stunning for your date! Shinji'll have no choice but to fall for you!"
"Fall for me?" Rei asked with only the slightest discernible concern, "I do not wish Ikari to be injured."
"Oh, no, not that kind of fall, silly girl. You'll see what I mean when the time comes."
