CHAPTER 1.5

Hello readers! Patch here. I want to thank you all for reading my story and I hope you've enjoyed it! I am very busy these past few days, so I won't be uploading often, but I know the pain of having to wait for a next chapter so I'll try my best. Stick with me please! Also, this story is my debut on this site, so reviews and critiques are greatly welcome! And don't forget that I take suggestions! Thank you once again!

Note: This is a sort of joke chapter. Doesn't hold much of the plot in it. Just a filler, but still I hope you like it.

"Ugh…" My world was blank. Or more accurately speaking, it was pitch black. Almost. The darkness was barely distinguishable, but it danced and swirled around me. I was outright scared. And to add to my suffering, not only was I frightened out of my wits, an indescribable cold found its way into my body. It was not a cold-cold sensation, but a chilling freeze that made my very core shiver. Something flew past me at an alarming speed. 'A-am I being attacked?!' I stuttered in my mind. As fast as the item streaked past me, it stopped abruptly in front of me. 'A stop sign…?'

It was a full length stop sign complete with the metal pole. However, instead of the classic "STOP" on the actual sign, it was simply a large red "Y". At the bottom of the metal shaft, there were wires sticking out crazily, extending into every direction, giving the sign the impression of being pulled out of the ground. Y… stop sign… darkness… oh dear lord. "Yukari." I breathed.

"Ohohohoho!" I heard the sound of laughing, but there was no one to be seen. The darkness seemed to spin faster, if possible. "He recognizes me." A pompous, husky female voice said.

"HE can hear you talking about him." I retorted.

"Fiery little one aren't you. It's quite alright. I like them feisty."

What she said reminded me of a line from a show whose name I can't quite remember. "What do you want?" I snapped half-angrily. Being the avid Touhou fan I am, I knew just how deceiving Yukari can be. A mastermind and a trickster, she was someone to respect, fear, and be aware of. I instantly regretted my being snappy at her as she could easily gap me into oblivion.

"I like your temper."

"Please stop trying to dodge my question."

"What was your question again?"

"I asked you what you want from me."

The darkness stopped to swirl for a moment, giving me the impression of Yukari thinking. "So you know about Gensokyo?"

"Yeah, but this is the first time I've been here. I've always wanted to come over, ya know."

The darkness started to move again. "Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why did you want to come over?"

Now, it was my turn to ponder. "Well, I guess I just want a little more than a screen." I flexed my toned-but-still-small muscles. "And I need to workout."

She laughed again with that annoying "Ohohohohoho."

"So which character have you been fantasizing about?" she teased.

"I fantasize about.." I stopped myself in time. It was impossible, but I swore my face grew warmer. "Why do you want to know?!" I demanded angrily.

"Oh…you know… reasons. Also, who do you ship?"

"Alice and Marisa."

"High five me too."

"You ship your own friends?"

"…..Maybe?" She sounded playful. "Who do you ship me with?"

"That's it. I'm done talking to you."

"Aww. He was so interesting too."

"Stop talking about me in third person!"

"Good night, sleep tight, don't let the Nightbug bite."

"Good one."

"Thanks." She seem proud of herself for making such a pun. I think I like Yukari better now. I love puns and she ships the same thing I do. Maybe we're not so different after all.
