Chapter 2
Yosuke and Souji squinted in the bright fluorescent light of Junes' electronics department; Chie and Yukiko were stood there, talking. "Hey guys, we were just talking about you two." Chie grinned, but it looked unusually creepy. "We were just discussing the fact that you two hang out together way too much, we think it's a bit odd." Yukiko looked at Yosuke's excited expression. "What's the matter Yosuke-kun? Have you done something?" Yukiko looked at Souji as she asked that question. "We'll tell you when we go into the TV again tomorrow. Let's go into the shopping district, Yosuke needs to see something." Souji began walking out of Junes, Yosuke running a little to catch up to him, Chie and Yukiko were following behind them whispering and giggling. Both Souji and Yosuke looked over their shoulders, and then scowled at them, Chie and Yukiko silenced themselves, trying to look innocent. Yosuke whispered to Souji: "They both look like they've done a number two in their pants." Yosuke and Souji looked over their shoulders once more and fell about laughing. "I know, right? They totally look like they have an issue in the southern area!" Souji laughed hysterically, holding his side as Yosuke put his elbow on Souji's shoulder, still laughing. "Geez, will you two shut up? What's so funny...?" Chie asked, hands on her hips. "Hey, Chie sounds like she's got the Chipmunks in her voice box." Yosuke whispered, making them both laugh even harder. "I think we should use that ailment... what's it called again?" Yukiko put a hand on her chin and looked up at the sky. "Mute, Yukiko. It's called Mute." Chie had a sense of sarcasm in her voice. "Our Personas don't have a Mute thingy..." Yukiko scowled at Souji, jealous of his vast amount of attacks and ailments. Souji heard and looked over his shoulder, tears in his eyes from the laughing. "Hey Yukiko, Bufudyne." Souji grinned as Yukiko scowled and shook her head. Yosuke looked over his shoulder, tears rolling down his face uncontrollably. "Hey Chie, Agidyne." Yosuke stuck out his tongue as Chie held up her middle finger and looked away. The two boys laughed yet again, exchanging high fives. "Persona change!" Both Souji and Yosuke punched the air triumphantly. "What are you talking about Yosuke? You can't change Personas!" Chie exclaimed. "Then they know nothing." Yosuke whispered as they reached the shopping district.
"Why are we even HERE?" Chie said rudely as she looked at the oddly busy shopping district. "Yosuke, look beside Daidara, what do you see?" Souji pointed at the wall. Yosuke's eyes opened wide and his mouth fell open. "THEM again? I'm totally getting some of your Personas!" Yosuke held up his wallet and ran towards the wall, laughing crazily. "Hey, where are you going, Yosuke-kun? That's just a wall!" Yukiko shouted over to the excited teenager. Yukiko squeaked a little as Yosuke seemed to disappear into the wall. "I'll get him Yukiko, I'll be back in a second." Souji ran into the Velvet Room door as he heard Chie and Yukiko scream. Souji saw Yosuke sat next to Margaret, choosing Personas. "Can I have these three?" Yosuke pointed to Yatsufusa, Odin and Scathach. Margaret waved her hand yet again and Yosuke glowed slightly. "There you go." Margaret rested her hand on the Compendium yet again. Igor looked up, and stopped shining his unnaturally long nose. "Hello Master Souji, what can we help you with?" Igor clapped his hands slightly. "Nothing, thank you. I have to keep an eye on this one..." Souji nodded at the excitable Yosuke. "I shall be removing him now, Igor. Thank you Margaret." Souji held Yosuke's wrist as though he were a child. "Aww! I wanted to see what other Personas you have!" Yosuke whined as he was getting pulled through the door. "Tough, you have enough for today." Souji was stern and serious. As soon as they had entered the shopping district, they still heard screams. "We're... back?" Yosuke asked, being cautious around the screaming women. "That was a very scary magic trick!" Yukiko gasped. "I hate it when Souji does that inside the TV." Chie crossed her arms. "I can do that trick too... because that's all it is... it's just a trick." Yosuke looked away mysteriously. "I wish I could do that too. It's not fair!" Chie stamped her foot angrily, so her hair flew up in the air comically. "Maybe Souji will teach you that then. If you have a level of closeness as high as ours, then you'd get a lesson on..." Yosuke was interrupted by an excited Chie. "A lesson on how to walk through walls? Sweet, it'll be just like the kung fu films! Hwa taaaa!" Chie kicked up her leg and nearly hit a passing housewife. "So sorry!" Chie put her hands over her own mouth as the housewife walked away, muttering to herself moodily. "Sorry for dragging you girls here. You can go home if you want." Souji apologised sweetly, adding a dazzling grin as well. "Whatever Souji. Just don't waste our time again, okay?" Chie grumbled, turned on her heel and walked away. "Sorry about Chie's attitude Souji-kun. She's just tired. We'll see you later." Yukiko apologised quickly and ran after Chie. Yosuke and Souji looked at each other and burst into a new wave of laughter. "She's always in a mood, so being tired is no excuse." Yosuke managed to say in between laughs. "Yeah, yeah." Souji slapped the back of Yosuke's head playfully. "Come on Yosuke, let's get you home." Souji walked towards Yosuke's house, not turning around again. "Hey, Souji! Wait for me!" Yosuke called and ran to catch up to him.
