Disclaimer: See previous chapters. Key: See previous chapters. Meeting At Rei's Chapter 4

'Oh man, what do they want know!?' Rei knew that this could only mean one thing. 'If this is what I think it is, this is going to SERIOUSLY interupt my time with Ikari . . . Just when I was beginning to show my emotions too . . .'

***********************************************************************

Shinji could tell that Rei was worried by the look on his face. He didn't like what this could lead to . . .

"Rei, who is it?" Shinji asked curiosly.

Rei looked over to him and put a single finger to her mouth motioning for him to be quiet.

***********************************************************************

"Yes. Ok. Is it ready? Alright. What is the status?" Rei said to whomever is was onthe other end of the phone. Several seconds later . . . "Ok. Make sure they are ready."

***********************************************************************

Shinji could definately tell that Rei was worried now, but what was he to do when she was on the phone?

*CLICK* Rei hung up the phone.

'I hope this isn't too serious . . . I want to stay with Rei as long as I can, because I need to learn how to show my emotions towards her.'

***********************************************************************

Rei quietly walked over to Ikari.

"Get ready to leave. We have some problems to deal with." Rei was definately worried . . . "We leave in 5 minutes. Be ready."

***********************************************************************

Shinji quietly did nothing but listen to his SDAT, as nowadays Shinji was always ready to be on the move. He thought to himself whom the phone call could have come from, and what they were about to do. He also watchd Ayanami as she paced back and forth and watched her beautiful face as she moved.

'I know I shouldn't be staring at Rei, even though I think I am in love with her. How can I continue to watch her like a hawk when I can't express my feelings towards her? I don't even know if she feels the same way about me. About the only thing I do know is that she is finally lowering her emotional barrier, at least for me anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if it was up to everyone else. I hope that this isn't too serious of a problem, whatever it may be.

***********************************************************************

Rei paced back and forth across the small room, trying to think of what could be done. . . but what could she prepare for when she had no information about the newly classified Angel. The only thing she could do was to prepare for an all out war with it, but what was the angel? Rei still painfully remembered the loss of Unit 03.

'God I hope its not another problem like Unit 03 was. I am more worried about what is going to happen to Ikari than I am with what is going to happen to myself. Why am I still so worried about the boy? The boy that I have risked my life for, which he inturn, continually tries to save mine. Life, one of the many things that Ikari and I are beginning to have in common. Our bonds are growing stronger constatly, but still can not be shown to the public whether we try to or not. I don't even know if he realizes that he is the only one that I feel comfortable with. The only one that can make me smile, besides Gendo.'

Rei shuddered at the thought of Gendo. As she was beginning to see things from Ikari's POV, she was beginning to see why he disliked his own father. Although Rei still couldn't see anyone disliking Gendo, how was this going to affect their relationship with father and son quarrels?

'I don't want to be torn from Gendo to Ikari and back. I know what Gendo has done, and can do, but I also know that Shinji is very open with me.'

Their five minutes were up . . .

Well, thats four chapters done. I really enjoyed writing this chapter because it seemed to flow so naturally. It didn't feel as forced as the other chapters did. Yes, I realize the plot is still basically limited to Shinji going over to Rei's house, but I think this chapter changed some of that. Well, review if you want to on my 4th chapter.

Whats coming? What is this new angel Rei has heard of? Weren't all of the Angels supposedly destroyed? What will Ikari do when he finds out he must again fight? What will happen when Asuka finds out that she is again losing Shinji to 'Wondergirl'? Will this author ever stop rambling on? Find out in the upcoming chapters!
