Chapter six: Birthday party
Shinji and Rei stood outside the apartment. They had no idea what lie beyond the door. Shinji grasped the handle and they went in.
There were large banners that hung from the walls and in Japanese they read 'Happy Birthday Rei' also the table was prepared with food, all of which had no meat. And in the middle of the table there was a big white cake which also had 'Happy Birthday Rei' in Japanese.
"We're back" called Shinji.
"This place looks great!" he exclaimed.
"Hey Shinji why don't you put those bags in your room then we can eat" said Misato.
"Uh-okay" he said and put the bags which held Rei's belongings in his room.
"So ya have fun Rei?" asked Misato.
"Yes, shopping with Shinji was very enjoyable" she answered.
"So what all did you get?" asked Asuka.
"Many clothes" came Rei's answer.
"Take any of my advice?" Asuka whispered.
"Yes" Rei whispered back. Asuka gave her a smile.
"Good" she whispered again.
"So you guys hungry?" asked Misato. They sat down at the table which had a lavish feast of ramen, noodles, soups, and stews.
"Thank you Misato" said Rei politely.
"Don't mention it Rei" she replied. They began eating.
"Wow this is great!" Shinji exclaimed.
"Yeah Misato really went out of her way to get all of this!" said Asuka.
"What's that suppose to mean?" asked Misato angrily.
"It means that your cheap!" said Asuka.
"Cheap?" she said in protest. They then just laughed.
"We also got his cake for you, Rei" said Misato.
"So don't eat too much" she added. Rei just smiled and nodded her head. They ate and were happy but in the back of Misato and Asuka's mind they were filled with dread due to what they did besides decorating and preparing food.
"I better tell Shinji" thought Misato.
"He deserves to know" she continued until she noticed that they were done eating.
"Time for some cake!" exclaimed Misato happily. Rei smiled again. Misato put fifteen candles in the cake and lit them all individually.
"Make sure to make a wish, but don't say it out loud or it won't come true!" said Asuka.
"Okay" said Rei. She leaned forward and closed her eyes.
"I wish to be happy" she thought and she opened her eyes and blew out the candles.
"Happy birthday!" they all said in unison. Misato took out a knife and cut the cake.
"Here you are, Rei you get the first slice" said Misato.
"Thank you" said the red eyed girl. Rei took a bite of the cake finding the taste to be very good.
"So how do you like the cake?" asked the third child.
"The taste is very acceptable" she answered.
"Hey Shinji can you come with me there is something I need to tell you" said Misato.
"Uh-okay" he answered.
"I'll be right back Rei" said Shinji. Asuka glanced at Misato. Shinji and the drunk walked into Shinji's room.
"So what did you need to tell me?" he asked.
"Well, while you were gone I kinda called the Commander" she admitted.
"Why did you call my father?" asked the boy.
"Well I wanted to know if I could become Rei's guardian, and I may have mentioned how you and her were becoming very good friends" said the purple haired girl.
"What else?" asked Shinji.
"He said he didn't want Rei getting so close to you and that he was going to have Rei put under house detention" said the girl shamefully.
"He can't do that to Rei!" Shinji protested.
"Keep it down or she'll hear you!" Misato snapped back. Shinji looked down at the ground in concern.
"Hey don't worry, I'm sure he'll forget about it" said Misato in a desperate attempt to cheer Shinji up.
"I hope your right" he told her and they walked back out.
"Shinji, is everything alright?" asked Rei. Shinji just looked at her and smiled.
"Of course!" he said happily. Rei just smiled back. Shinji didn't have the heart to tell Rei that she was going to be put on house detention. He couldn't bare to see her sad, he had spent to many times seeing her with an expressionless look, a look of sorrow and sadness. He knew she had to be lonely living alone in that apartment. They finished eating.
"So can we see what you got Rei?" asked Misato.
"Yes" she answered and Shinji got up and retrieved the bag, making sure to separate her other gift from the rest.
"Here you go Rei" said the third handing her the bag. Rei took out a shirt and showed Misato.
"That's cute"commented Asuka and Misato. She pulled something else from the bag, this being a pair of panties.
"WAY TO GO REI!" said Misato loudly. She continued pulling out garments and was often given comments by Asuka and Misato. Many of which involved the words 'SEXY!" and 'So Rei has an eye for the more lacy stuff'.
"Theres something else I got you, Rei" said the blue eyed boy. Shinji went into his room and retrieved the package.
"Go ahead and open it" he told her. She unwrapped it with a quizzical look on her face. She held the gown in front of her and inspected it.
"It's beautiful, thank you Shinji you are too kind to me" said Rei. Shinji just looked at her and smiled.
"Awwww, isn't Shinji just a sweet heart!" Misato exclaimed.
"That looks expensive" said the German girl.
"Indeed" commented Misato. They continued conversing and laughing for a while more until they noticed what time it was.
"Ah!" shouted Shinji.
"Look what time it is!" the boy freaked.
"I'll walk you home, Rei" Shinji was always willing to help her out.
"Okay" and they gathered up the clothes and Shinji walked Rei home.
"Do you want me to help you put your clothes away?" asked Shinji.
"You do not have to do that" she told him.
"Okay" he didn't want to make Rei feel like she always needed his help.
"I'll see you at Nerv tomorrow then" Shinji said.
"Wait" came her soft voice.
"I want to thank you properly for everything that you've done" said the angel.
"Rei..." she walked closer to him and looked him in the eyes. Rei put her arms around the boy and put her head against his chest.
"Thank you, for everything Shinji" the moonlight came and kissed her body she rested her head against his chest for a while. Shinji's was blushing and he put his arms around her and they shared a beautiful moment together. She broke the embraced and looked at Shinji with tears in her eyes and kissed him tenderly on the cheek.
"I'll see you tomorrow" said the pale skinned girl and she walked into her apartment. After that Shinji felt horrible for not telling her but he soon forgot about that and his mind was flooded with the fact that she just kissed him. Shinji walked home and went to sleep, well not really 'went' to sleep it was more that he cried himself to sleep.
