Author's note:

Sorry it took me so long, its homecoming at my school, so I haven't had much time; the chapters will probably be short. Also, in case you want to know how this idea came to me, the answer is simple: I was on youtube and I was watching AMVs and then I searched for Fan made horror films, (the Jason ones are funny!). It came up with the endings to the (actual) 7 and 3rd

Nightmare on Elm Street films. I watched them, and remembered how creepy (though not always scary) the movies were. I then searched for NGE AMVs and thought, "Neon, Nightmare, Ne, Ni," and thus the idea popped into my head (I should start taking medication).

Chapter One: A chat between friends

"Come on, Come on!" The red haired girl screamed. She looked at her opponent, a winged behemoth, its many wings slowly flapping as it flew towards her.

"Take this!" Multiple Lasers were released, multicolored blasts that homed in and slammed into the thing. It reeled back in pain.

"HA HA! One more and you're dead you son-of-a-bitch!" She was elated, victory was at hand, all she had to do was charge one more blast and the creature would be…

"OH SHIT!" The thing had decided to charge straight at her. She quickly went for a dodge, but it was too massive, She closed her eyes as its massive form crushed her to a pulp.

GAME OVER. As the words appeared on the television screen, Asuka flung her controller down. This was the thirtieth time today she had failed to beat that boss. Wasn't she better than this; was she so pathetic that she couldn't even defeat a mere cg monster? As she thought this, she began to smack the controller against her leg. Again and again she hit it against her leg, ignoring the pain or the bruises appearing on her. All she could think about was how useless she was, how she was ignored by everyone no matter what she did, how she didn't deserve to be noticed, how she loved and hated the other pilots, and how the pilots hated her. She thought about her life, was it even worth continuing? Maybe she should have joined her mother; at least she wouldn't have to face the loneliness, the lack of worth.

Maybe she should just take a knife and…

"Asuka! Oh my God! Stop!"

Asuka looked up and saw the face of Hikari, her school friend and her class's rep. What was she doing here? Oh yeah, this was her house. Asuka had come here after the fight with the fifteenth angel.

"Asuka! Stop!" Hikari grabbed the controller out of Asuka's hand. Hikari started crying "cant you see what you're doing to yourself?" Asuka

looked down at her leg. It was covered in bruises, in one spot, blood seeped through a reopened wound, dripping to the floor and staining the carpet.

"Sorry Hikari, I'll clean it it up." Asuka tried to get up, but collapsed as she tried to put weight on her damaged leg.

"No! Asuka, please, just stay there, let me fix that." Hikari quickly pulled out her small first aid kit and cleaned the wound. "Asuka, why were you doing that? Had I not stopped you, you would have just kept on going, wouldn't you?" Asuka ignored her, obviously caught up in some thought. Hikari stopped tending the wound and looked at her. Was this really the same Asuka who just a month earlier had been giggling about gossip and chatting about anything, even if there was nothing to talk about? She peered into her eyes; where was the spark, the energy, and was it just her imagination, or had Asuka's hair lost its vibrance? "Asuka…"

"Hey Hikari, I'm going to play some more games, I think I almost got this one.."

"NO!" Hikari yelled, not caring if the whole neighborhood heard, "You've played enough! You haven't been outside in days! I've been worried sick! You haven't gone to school in days, and you have barely eaten anything. You've shut yourself off from everyone!" Hikari stopped and looked at Asuka, though she didn't make any sound, she was looking straight at her, with a sorrowful look in her eye. "Asuka, this all happened after that angel, what happened?"

Asuka started weeping. "It violated me, it went through my mind and I couldn't stop it. I tried, and I couldn't stop it. It went through my most personal feelings and laughed." She broke off, a burst of tears kept her from continuing.

Hikari couldn't stand seeing her friend like this. She wrapped her arms around Asuka and held her tight. She could feel Asuka's lungs rapidly expanding and emptying. She felt the wet tears as they landed on her neck.

It seemed like the embrace lasted for hours, and perhaps it did, but for Hikari, it was of no matter, Asuka was her friend, and nothing would stop her from helping her in this time of need. Asuka finally broke the embrace, finally running out of tears and thought s to use them on.

"Hikari, thank you. I'm glad there's at least one person who cares."

"I'm not the only one Asuka, not a day goes by someone doesn't ask about you, both Kensuke and Tohji wont stop pestering Shinji, who has also been asking I might add. We all care."

Hikari finished treating the wound and got up. "I'm going to order ramen, you like shark fin right?"

"Yes."

When the ramen arrived, Asuka and Hikari sat down and started chatting. They talked about everything and anything, whether it was gossip or the weather, they put great energy into their conversation. As it winded down, they both got into their pajamas and got ready for bed.

"Hey, Hikari ?"

"Yes?"

"Would it be all right if I slept with you?"

"WHA?!!!

"Not that way, I mean…"

"I understand. Here, you get in first." Hikari lifted the bed sheet up and Asuka climbed in. After turning the lights off, Hikari climbed in as well and wrapped her arms around Asuka's mid section. "Have a good rest Asuka, we'll talk more in the morning."

"Okay"

And with that, the two fell asleep, and into dreams.

Author's note: that was kind of long. Still, I hope you all liked this chapter; maybe I'll right a romance next time. BTW: Things start up in the next chapter, so tune in! might be awhile, I got a shitload of tests. Could take me till Wednesday. Also: I don't want you to think the last part was Lesbian. I more wanted to show a deep friendship, but I could easily see how it could be interpreted as the start of a homosexual relationship. Besides, considering how cruel the next bit is, I don't think you'll want them to be in love.
