Sorry for not updating in so long. I know this isn't really a legitimate update but it was all I had time for and it was already written considering it was originally a part of chapter 1. I hope to be able to finish chapter 6 soon which should be easier to do now that I have my Evangelion DVD box set back. Thank you to everyone who has read this fanfiction, when I first started writing I didn't think anyone would like what I had to write.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this cut scene despite it's brevity.

Chapter 1

Deleted Scene - What was originally going to be the ending of Chapter 1

Shinji's POV

I watch as Tomoe goes to her room. She seemed nice enough and she's obviously a genius if she's in college.

'I wonder how Tomoe and Misato met', thought Shinji.

"Well that's a bit of a story there," says Misato.

"Huh?"

"You thought aloud, but, to answer your question briefly. I was there when she was born. Her family had taken me in after 2nd impact."

"Oh, that was nice of them."

"You have no idea. I was extremely lucky I met them. I would have never known Tomoe if I hadn't."

"I see, what were her parents like?"

"I didn't know her father for very long, soon after Tomoe was born he died in a car accident. Though while he was alive he was only kind to me, always there to cheer me up. Her mother was always sick as far as I knew. Even though she felt horrible the majority of the time she was always such a sweet person. Always listening to your troubles and trying to help. I miss them but at least I have Tomoe."

"How… did her mother die?"

"As I said before, she was always a sickly person. After Tomoe was born it started getting worse, but it only needed 24/7 attention in the last year. It hurt to see her decay like that, but it must have been worse for Tomoe. After all, she spent the last and worst week with her mother so she wouldn't feel alone when she passed. Her mother went into cardiac arrest before she died."

"I see… I should probably head to bed. Good night."

"Yeah, good night Shinji."

I put my bowl in the sink and started heading towards my room. I pause by Tomoe's door and see her laying on the bed listening to music while sleeping.

'Just like me.'

Walking into my room I slip in my own earbuds and lay down to sleep with Tomoe on my mind.
