"I know, I know," the voice on the other end of the phone replied. "And I'm sorry... I don't know what happened. I'm sure you were supposed to come in before today, but... I don't know. All we can do now is get your training session in for today."
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."Sakura slipped the phone back into her pocket and nodded
"Of course." She smiled reassuringly.

"Then come on. Let's go."
She turned and started walking to the front entrance of the school.

It pulled up in front of the pilots and came to a stop, the doors opening as a middle-aged NERV officer turned to look at them.
"Alright, get in," he said.
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."Sakura stood, and with a quick glare at the NERV officer, turned to offer Takuya a hand to help him up

"....What are you thinking about?"

"I was beyond scared the first time I had to pilot. I could have used someone to talk to about the whole mess." She looked over to him. "...You want to talk about it?"

I haven't really had anyone to talk to... I mean Akihiko isn't exactly easy to talk to, and... well, I'm not exactly close to any of the other pilots."
She looks back to him. "I know what you mean... It's terrifying to think that you might get seriously hurt, or..." She trails off. "But for me, it's even worse to think what might happen to everyone else if I get hurt. The other pilots. All the innocent people around here. Hell, even those bastards at NERV."

"You... haven't? Really? There must be some kind of mistake," the voice replied. "But you're schedueled for today, so hopefully you can catch up on that. I've signaled for a NERV van to pick you up."
