2031 A.D

  "I'm home, Mother! " a young girl took off her shoes and placed them 
neatly on the entrance to the living room. Her long red hair flowed freely 
after she took off her hair ribbon and walked softly on the beige carpet. 
She saw her dad reading the paper. He looked over the paper, his brown eyes 
reflecting a sense of relief that his daughter was home. His slicked black 
hair suddenly became ruffled when Teri Ikari stepped up and kissed him on 
the cheek at the same time rubbing her dad's hair. He smiled back at her, 
enjoying the precious moment.
  "So, how was school, Teri? " He asked. She looked at him and suddenly fell 
with a heavy sigh. She sat next to her dad and slowly began her encounter.
  "Dad, I think I maybe falling in love with someone from school. I dunno, 
but this is the first time I had these feelings." Her deep blue eyes 
penetrated his gaze.
  "Who is the lucky stiff? " Her dad asked with a little bit of amusement in 
his voice.
  " He's the most popular guy in school...and he is handsome and sweet. He 
does a lot of charity work and helps out at the school a lot. " Teri 
replied.
  " I see. Well, you should go to talk to him then, start up a conversation. 
There is no reason to try, is there? " He smiled at her.
  " I guess you are right dad and thanks for hearing me out. Mom would have 
a fit if she found out her little girl has falling in love. " Teri said. She 
got up and walked towards her room, giving her dad a big hug and another 
kiss on the cheek. Shinji hugged her back and looked at his watch when he 
heard it ring the hour. He got up out of the chair he was relaxed in and 
grudgingly walked towards the door. He had a lot of stuff to do at NERV and 
enjoying less any minute of it.
He felt since this was his responsibility to look after Unit 01, he usually 
avoided the small stuff, but until he found out yesterday that her 15 year 
old daughter could synchronize perfectly with Unit 01. <I hope she doesn't 
have to go through what I had to go through>He thought and seeing Teri smile 
at him and waving good-bye made him a little bit uncomfortable with the 
whole situation.
<There is nothing you can do, Shinji. She has a past, like you, will never 
like.>He thought. As soon as that thought finished, he got into his car and 
drove away.
  Back at the Ikari Household, Teri was fixing herself a mid-afternoon 
snack, before going into her room and cram her lovely head for High School 
Entrance Exams. Getting her plate with her ham and cheese sandwich in one 
hand and a can of OJ in her other, she went to her room, flopped down on the 
bed, turned on the radio and began studying.
<Let's see, Math or English to start today?>She thought to herself, her deep 
oceanic eyes seeing the covers of both books."English it is, and I think 
I'll do it like Aunt Misato did..."Smiling mischievously at the can of 
OJ.She garbbed it with her hand, opened it, took a big gulp and said:
"YYYYYEEEEEEEEEHHHHHAAAAA!!!!!" Her angelic voice becoming a fun filled 
scream. Somehow, 2 blocks away, Asuka Langley Ikari, Mother of 2 and devoted 
wife to Shinji Ikari, heard her voice and a big large water drop formed on 
top of her head. Asuka was walking towards the store, with her son in tow. 
Axel looked at her mom and did the same thing.<Some habits never change>She 
thought.
   After that, she opened the book and started doing the 1st lesson when the 
phone rang. She ignored it the 3 times before answering on the 4th ring.
   "Moshi-Moshi?" She said, letting the words hang in the air.
   "Teri-kun?, It's me Hideaki. " The other voice said, the deep voice  
penetrating hher ears and at once realized who it was. Her heart beagn to 
race, getting pumped up like an Indy 500 racecar. She began to blush 
furiously and litle by little, she had the courage to speak up.
   "Hideaki-kun, how you doing? I didn't realize you were going to call me, 
who gave you my phone number?" She said.
   " I think it was Sayeka who gave it to me, she kept on pushing me to call 
you, I have no idea why, that everytime I tried to ask her why, she ignored 
my question and like she always does, gives me her big friendly smile. " 
Hideaki said.
   "Yeah, Sayeka is a total push-over but she can be a real cool person to 
be with, me and her have known each other since we were kids. She is my best 
friend after all. " Teri said, <I'm going to get you for this 
Sayeka-chan>She thought and smiled evilly when she saw herself duelling 
Sayeka about this.
   "Well, that is true, but like you said, she can be a cool person to be 
with. Changing the subject, what are you doing right now? " Hideak said on 
the phone.
   "Me, I'm studying for the entrance exams, ever sensei told us that 
Tokyo-3 High was the best school and we should go there but they only accep 
the top 15% of graduates so I have to make it there, even if it kills me. I 
was about to study right now, before you suddenly called... " She trailed 
off when she heard the door open in the living room.
   " I think my mom is home Hideaki, can you hold please? " She asked  him.
   " Sure, Teri-kun. " She got up and walked towards the living room when 
she saw her mom standing in the doorway. Teri still couldn't belive that she 
was like her mother, in her shape, way or form; the only thing is he wasn't 
as Shinji put it once when he told her stories when they were kids that she 
was "Bitchy", and by the way that she was looking at her right now, she was 
definitely Bitchy.
   "Teri-chan, didn't we told you enough times that you are not supposed to 
do that? Ever since you were little, you did it, and that's why when we 
became old enough and your Auntie Misato left, I hoped that it didn't 
continue. I guess I was wrong. " Asuka let out a deep sigh and picked her 
bag of groceries, while Axel was kicking Teri in the shin.
  "That's for making Okaasan mad. " he said, and walked off, and Teri stood 
there, rubbing her shin.
  "Creep. " She told him," I hope that one of those ugly ass Pokemon come to 
get you and eat you up in your sleep." She yelled at him.
  " I have my lightsaber to protect me, so there! " he walked backed in and 
gave her a Beeddda! and walked off towards his room.
  " Yeah, right, you call your baseball bat a lightsaber." She stormed off 
when Asuka appeared from behind her and tapped her finger on her shoulder. 
Asuka looked towards Teri's room, her oceanic eyes pointing at the phone. 
Teri gave her a nervous smile and closed the door rapidly.
  " I hope you start studying and finish gossiping with Sayeka-chan. I want 
you to enter Tokyo-3 high, you understand? " Asuka let out an exarsperated 
sigh and turned on the TV.
  " I will Mom, as soon as I finish talking with my 'boy'friend on the 
phone. " She said in her loudest voice, penetrated the door to her room and 
Asuka heard it very clearly.
  Asuka flinched her right eye and started shaking her head sideways. <Where 
did I go wrong?>She thought to herself and Axel who got up on the couch 
platying with his Doraemon figures, looked at his mom and wondered why did 
Teri acted like this.
  Teri picked up the phone and plopped down on the bed again. She felt her 
mind wander for a little bit, telling herself why did she told her mom that 
it was her 'boy' friend on the phone. She tought Asuka was going to come in 
and tell her a lot of things about boys, but she didn't, so she heard him 
whistling and that's what brought her back to earth.
  "Sorry, my mom had just come home and she went Grocery shopping and I 
helped her put the groceries in. "Teri spoke.
  "Is no big deal, I have plenty of time. So, what are your plans for the 
future? "He asked innoncently.
  "Plans? I don't know..."She began to hesistate a little bit, wavering her 
pencil in her hand, " I guess I'm not that far ahead yet, I'm only 15 and 
want to enjoy my teenage years, despite the fact of the stupid exams. "
  She heard him chuckle, wondering what was so funny. Hideaki was a year 
older than her so he was already in High School, but she guessed some people 
thought that it was better to plan for the future, no matter how early it 
is.
  "Oh don't worry, Teri-chan, sometimes Life is full of pain but sometimes 
is full of love. The Future is borth ways I guess. I want to  enjoy my 
teenage years helpintg people out, having fun and if the right girl comes 
along, probably take her as my girlfriend. You just never know."
  She fekt hear heart racew one more when she heard the word "Girlfriend". 
She fell silent for a moment when in the back of her her head she heard two 
tiny voices telling her "ASK HIM OUT!" She began to play with her hair, 
making it twirls and curls with her pinky when she  felt something in her 
heart, the fire of courage ignited once more.
  "Hideaki-kun, I have something to tell you. I really appreciate this call, 
it means a lot to me..."She trailed off
  "What's the matter, Teri-kun? "He asked, a little bit of worry infringing 
on his deep voice.
  "I...want to go out with you on a date if you don't mind..." She said, her 
voice sounded hesistant and unsure. <Please don't say "no">she thought.
  "So that was the reason Sayeka-chan gave me your phone number. Clever 
girl, I must say. Okay, I accept, where do you want to meet?" Hideaki asked, 
the infringement of worry departing suddenly from his voice.
   "Yeah, she is clever I must say. Hmm....How about 8:00 p.m this saturday 
at Tokyo-3 Municipal Park. After that we can decide what we can do. " She 
smiled and chuckled softly.
   "Sure, I have no plans. Meet you there then, I gotta go now 'cause I 
gotta go to work and I must say, is a pretty tiring experience. " He sounded 
reasonably sure and by the look of what he said, he doesn't like his job 
very much.
   "Where do you work? "Teri asked.
   "UPS Tokyo" He said.
   "Ahh..well, lifting weights is one good way of exercising your body. You 
must be pretty buff, lifting all that weight until the trucks or the little 
bobtail trucks that carry the packages around." She said, her voice becoming 
a more endearing, caring tone.
   "Yeah if you say so, but low pay and low hours doesn't add up much, you 
know. Well, I really oughta get gooing so I'll see you this saturday. " 
Hideaki said.
   " Okay, yeah I will. Hehehehe, Ja Ne! My working prince."She teased him.
   "Ja Ne, and I hope you wear something nice. " And with that he hung up.
   <You bet I will> She thought and started dancing on the floor, a victory 
dance and turned on the radio real loud and danced some more.
