Authors Notes: It's been a while since I updated this story, as I have been distracted with my other stories and such. Hopefully my reviewers and readers will be happy now. On a suggestion from Reisfriend, I decided on the following course of action for this story.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

((Tokyo-3 Fist Municipal Junior High))

"So let me get this straight: he stood her up?" the unnamed boy asked.

"Not exactly." the second boy said.

"What happened?"

"Apparently, Toji asked Rei Ayanami out to a movie the other day, even gave her the address to the movie theater on 37th street."

"So what was the problem?" he asked curiously.

"He went to the theater on 47th." his friend stated.

"Ouch." he winced at the subtle idiocy he possessed.

"I know. He's such an idiot."

"So what happened after that?"

"Well...

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

((Flashback))

Shinji Ikari had picked up his girlfriend, Hikari Horaki, from her house. After enduing some teasing from her older sister Kodama, about dark movie theaters and feeling up her little sister, the pair were on their way.

Damn it! That Kodama! She just couldn't resist teasing me and Shinji. What is it? Doesn't she have enough on her plate that she has to make fun of me and Shinji? She mentally huffed as the pair made their way towards the theater.

Shinji, sensing something was wrong with the girl, turned to ask her.

"Is something wrong, Hikari-chan?" he asked.

"No, nothing, Shinji-kun." she said, hugging his arm tighter. "I guess I'm a little upset at my sister for teasing you like that."

But Shinji just smiled. "It's not a problem. Misato does it all the time." he said.

"I know. But it's like... I don't know. Ever since we started dating, it's like my sister has made it her new hobby to tease me about you."

"Misato's always found something to tease me about. If it involves girl she just doesn't let up for like weeks and weeks."

"How do you deal with that?"

"I'm just used to it."

"But your job is stressful enough without all this teasing. And shouldn't Misato be the grown up?"

"You'd think so." he said off-handedly.

Suddenly, Hikari felt Shinji pause in his step. She looked at him and followed his gaze to the front of the movie theater, to see Rei Ayanami standing outside looking at her watch.

"Rei-chan? What is she doing here?" Shinji wondered.

"It looks like she's waiting for something." Hikari stated.

"I guess. But... it's just strange to see her out of her apartment. Let's go see what she's doing here?" Shinji said as he pulled his girlfriend along.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Rei Ayanami was looking around the street and at her watch.

He is late. She thought as she looked at her watch. She had been waiting for nearly three-quarters of an hour and thought that even Suzuhara couldn't be this late.

She was broken out of her musings by a familiar voice.

"Rei-chan? What are you doing here?" Shinji asked as he and Hikari appeared next to her.

"Ikari-kun." she acknowledged the Third Child. "I was waiting for Suzuhara." Rei said, turning to address the young boy.

"Toji? What for?" Hikari gasped.

"He invited me to a movie." Rei explained.

"Weird. It's not like him to simply break a promise like that." Hikari said. He may be dense but he's not this bad. And why did he never ask me out? She mentally pouted.

"Let me give him a call." Shinji said as he untangled his arm from Hikari to pull his cellphone out.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

((The movie theater on 47th Street))

"Man! Where is she? I told her to meet me at 6." Toji Suzuhara mumbled to himself as he looked at his watch.

Suddenly, his cellphone rang.

He pulled it from his pocket and answered it.

"Suzuhara." he said.

(Toji?)

"Shinji? Hey, what up?"

(Not much. Uh, just wondering, but where are you right now?)

"Outside the 47th street movie theater."

(The 47th Street Theater?)

"Yeah? I was supposed to be meeting Rei here, but..."

(Uh, Toji, she's...) He started to say, but suddenly paused.

"Hello? Shinji?" he asked, wondering if he had been cut off.

(Uh... never mind. I gotta go. Later) Shinji said.

"Right, man. Bye." he said as he hung up, vaguely wondering and disregarding why Shinji would have called him just to ask him where he was, and went back to waiting for Rei.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

"Rei, why did you stop me from telling Toji you were here?" Shinji asked the blue-haired girl as he stuffed his cellphone into his pocket.

"Because it is obvious that accepting his invitation was a mistake." Rei said.

"Mistake?"

"If he cannot remember which theater to meet at, which he chose himself, then agreeing to go with him to such a function, is in fact a mistake." she said as she started to walk off.

Shinji just watched her go, and turned to Hikari.

"This isn't right." he said to her.

"I know. But what can..."

"Rei-chan!" he suddenly called out.

"Yes?" Rei said, pausing and turning around to face the boy.

"Would you... like to join us?"

Hikari stared at her boyfriend in disbelief. He was actually inviting another girl to go with them on their date? She wanted time alone with Shinji, but to see the look of sadness that was written on his face, as well as the disappointment on Rei's, (though it was a little hard to discern, face like hers) Hikari quickly understood.

Shinji considered Rei to be a friend. A good friend. Hell, if she hadn't snagged Shinji when she did, she was sure that he and Rei would have gotten together.

"Yes, Rei. Please join us." she stated.

Rei gave a lite smile, that only Shinji seemed to catch.

"I do not wish to impose." she said, though liked the idea of being with Shinji.

"Friends don't impose, Rei-chan." Shinji said.

With that, Shinji, Hikari and Rei went to the movie together.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

((Outside the 47th Street Movie Theater))

Asuka giddy as the proverbial school girl.

Misato had finally lifted her punishment. At least for the weekend. She suspected that they weren't finished with her just yet, but for the time being, she was free.

And free girls like Asuka do what they figure is the most fun when they have been cooped up for days on end.

They go out... to a movie.

Too bad Hikari isn't here. Or Kaji has to work. I'm so lonely. She thought as she proceeded to the theater.

She paused as she noticed a familiar stooge standing in front of the movie theater.

"What are you doing here?" Asuka asked as she approached the jock.

"Waiting for Rei, devil-girl." Toji said with a grumpy expression.

Just then, a new voice interrupted what could have been a potential argument.

"What's going on here?" Kensuke Aida asked as she trotted up to the theater.

"What are you doing here?" Asuka asked the military otaku.

"Uh... my dad thought it would be a good idea for me to get out for a bit." the bespectacled boy said.

"Guess that makes sense." Toji stated.

The trio looked at each other for a few seconds, Kensuke desperately wanting to make a joke about Toji and Asuka being in the same place at the same time. It was Asuka who broke the silence.

"So, are you guys coming or what?" Asuka asked as she turned towards the theater.

"Huh?" Toji gasped.

"Excuse me?" Kensuke gasped.

They couldn't have heard her right.

"Look. Wondergirl's obviously not going to show up, and I've been cooped up in NERV for days and now that I'm finally out I want to go see a movie. And since you two losers are here, I'll give you the pleasure of being seen with me." she smirked.

Though to be honest, Asuka didn't want to be alone right now. She missed having her friend to pal-around with and thought these two goon would have to do for now.

She wondered if she was feeling just a little desperate and all.

"WHAT?" Toji gasped.

"Uh... Toji, it might not be so bad." Kensuke said.

"What are you saying? You want to hang out with Satan's daughter?"

"Well, it's not that she's hard on the eyes or anything. And I really wanted to go see this movie."

Toji grudgingly had to admit that Asuka was cute and all. "I don't believe this." he said as he slumped his shoulders in defeat.

"Come on you two!"

"Oh, alright! Keep your panties on!" he yelled at her.

"Say's the guy who can't keep his pants on!" she retorted.

"HEY!" he gasped, hoping no one around heard her.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

((The Theater on 37th Street))

Hikari and Rei were in the bathroom of the theater. The movie had just gotten out and the pair had relented to the bathroom, actually at Hikari's insistence since she wanted to talk to Rei in private.

"So, did you enjoy the movie, Rei?" Hikari asked as she washed her hands.

"It was... enjoyable." the blue haired girl said.

The trio had gone to the movie, Shinji sitting with Hikari on his right and Rei on his left. The plot didn't make a lot of sense to Rei, but she was more invested in the company than the film.

"Which part? The dialogue? The action scene? The... kissing?" she said with a blush.

However, Rei was more perceptive that she let others know. Only a few people knew this. People like Shinji for example.

"I apologize for interfering with your date, Ms. Horaki." Rei exclaimed.

Hikari for her part, knew what she was alluding to. "It's not a problem, Rei." Hikari said. "Besides, Shinji would be sad the whole time if you just went home."

"He would?"

"Yes. Can't you tell?"

"I... do not... understand."

Hikari smiled as she saw a potential opening. "Look Rei. Shinji's my boyfriend now, but he thinks very highly of you. And just because I'm dating him, doesn't mean we can't all be friends. You know, hang out and such."

"But would that not interfere with your 'quality time' with Ikari-kun?" Rei asked.

"It may, but if I hadn't snagged Shinji when I did, he would have tried to ask you out."

If not for the Second's machination and the class representatives concern, would he? Rei thought as she looked at the freckle-faced girl. "Ikari-kun... likes me?"

Hikari looked at Rei. How could she not think so? Shinji's paid more attention to her than anyone else. "Yes Rei. The whole school knows about his crush on you."

Rei blushed and Hikari thought it made her look so cute. She started to see what Shinji saw in her.

"I... I..." she said, at a loss for words.

"How do you feel about him?" Hikari asked delicately.

"I consider Ikari-kun... to be my only friend." she admitted.

"Shinji." she corrected.

"What?" Rei asked in confusion.

"His name is Shinji. He already calls you Rei. The least you can do is call him by his first name." Hikari suggested.

"Shinji." she said, liking the way the name rolled off her tongue.

"Come on, Rei. Shinji's waiting." she said as she grabbed the albino's hand and lead her outside to where Shinji was waiting for them.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

After escorting Rei back to her apartment, Shinji took Hikari home. An impassioned kiss on her doorstep and Shinji headed home.

However, when he got in, he regretted it.

"Jeez, Shinji. I didn't know you were a player." the purple-haired major said as the boy stepped through the door.

"What?" he gasped. "What are you talking about, Misato?"

"I'm talking about dating Hikari and Rei? Even Kaji couldn't do that in one sitting." she smiled.

"Misato! How did you..." he paused. Of course. Section 2. Oh, here we go.

"I never knew you had a fetish for threesomes." the woman continued.

"What? Where the heck would you get an idea like that?" he asked.

"Then again you are under age, but I'm pleased to see you've come out of your shell."

"MISATO!!"

"Though I'm a little hurt. I mean I'm sure I could have convinced Asuka to go in on one with us."

"ARGH!!!!" he groaned as he ran to his room, leaving a giggling guardian in his wake.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

"I never knew you were so open minded, little sister." Kodama said as Hikari entered the living room of their house.

"Open-minded?" Hikari asked in confusion.

"Yes. Sharing your boyfriend with another girl."

"What? You mean...It-it's not like that!" she sputtered.

"Oh really? Then what's this I'm hearing about a girl with blue hair?"

"Rei? How did you..."

"The ticket seller at the theater is an old friend." she explained.

"It's not what you think! She got stood up on a date and..."

"You caught her on the rebound?"

"HEY!"

"Then again you are my sister and I've done some wild things in my youth. But I'm not sure what kind of threshold you have for pleasure."

"KODAMA!" she gasped.

"I can teach you if you want me to."

"I Am Not Hearing This!"

"I mean if you're going to be doing this Rei girl too..."

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" the frustrated girl shouted as she rushed to her room.

"Oh, yes, this is so much fun." she giggled as she heard a door slam.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Author's Notes:

It's been a while since I updated this story. I'd almost forgot about it until someone sent me a review reminding me that they wanted to read the update. So, here it is.

My original idea was for Toji to get Rei while Shinji dated Hikari. I did this only because I thought of Shinji as a one-woman guy. Reisfriend suggested that Shinji should end up with Hikari and Rei while Asuka gets both Toji and Kensuke. She suggested this only because Toji didn't seem to deserve Rei, and that he would be the brawn while Kensuke became the brain, so to speak. After some thought I couldn't agree more.

Therefore I went along with the idea that this chapter would be of threesomes.

Shinji, Hikari and Rei.

Asuka, Toji and Kensuke.

And so I write up this chapter 9, with number 10 in the works.

Any suggestions would be of use.

And please, Read and Review.
