"Morning Yu." Chie said from her seat.

"Good morning Chie, any luck with your DVD?" Yu asked recalling the previous day's incident.

"No, Yosuke's going to pay me back today." Chie said.

"Well, hopefully everything works out for you." Yu said before sitting down to listen to the lecture.

"Hey Yu, how are you liking Inaba?" Yosuke asked with a grin.

"Its different, but I'm getting used to it slowly." Yu said.

"Cool, oh by the way I wanted to thank you for this morning, you really helped me out of a jam." Yosuke said. "I know this great place to get grilled steak, it's on me."

"Hold it Yosuke, you still need to pay me back for my DVD, you're coming too right Yukiko?" Chie asked.

"Sorry, I need to help out at the inn today, it's getting really busy." Yukiko said before leaving the classroom.

"Yukiko's really dedicated to the inn isn't she?" Yu asked.

"Yeah, she works really hard all the time, it's really impressive." Chie said. "Anyway, let's go, Yosuke's treating us."

"I never agreed to… oh fine I guess it's better than the last time you got pissed off." Yosuke said in defeat.

"Junes? This is the place you meant?" Chie asked in amazement.

"Well, when you decided to come along for the ride I had no choice but to change my plans last minute, and at least you're getting something." Yosuke said when he glanced to another table. "Oh, got to go for a second."

"Who's that over there?" Yu asked while Yosuke walked over to a girl from the school.

"That's Saki Konishi, she's a third year so she's our sempai, her family runs the local liquor store." Chie said. "Yosuke's head over heels for her too."

Suddenly Saki got up and walked over to them. "You're the new student, Yu Narukami right?" she asked.

"Yeah, is something wrong?" Yu asked.

"No, I'm just here to give you a fair warning, if Yosuke starts to bug you, you need to tell him to his face." Saki said.

"I'll keep that in mind Saki-sempai, I'll let him know." Yu said with a smile.

"Yeah, sounds good." Saki said with a smile before walking off.

"Oh come on, you could cut me some slack." Yosuke said.

"Well either way, have either of you heard of the midnight channel?" Chie asked.

"What, you mean that old story?" Yosuke asked. "How does it go again?"

"What are you talking about?" Yu asked in confusion.

"They say that on a rainy night if you look into a TV that's turned off at midnight, you'll see your soul mate." Chie said. "It's really cool, although I've only heard about it."

"Wait, you mean you've never even tried it yourself?" Yosuke asked.

"Well, why don't we all try it tonight, it's supposed to rain." Chie said defensively. "We can find out for ourselves."

"I'm game, who knows it might be fun." Yu said. "It's on at midnight right?"

"Yeah, well we should head home." Yosuke said. "Make sure you give it a try Chie."

"You know I will." Chie said with a grin before the three of them walked out of Junes.

"Welcome home." Nanako said as Yu walked into the living room.

"Hi Nanako, how was your day?" Yu asked.

"It was fine, we had an assembly about bullying, I don't get why people do that." Nanako said.

"I don't either Nanako, I wish I knew so I could stop it from happening." Yu said when the Junes commercial came on again.

"Everyday is customer appreciation day." said the young woman on the commercial. "Every day's great at your Junes."

"Every day's great at your Junes." Nanako sang happily.

"You're really good at that Nanako." Yu said.

"I know, the teacher said I'm the best in my class." Nanako said happily.

"Oh I need to head up for the night, I'll see you in the morning Nanako." Yu said.

"Ok." Nanako said before turning on a game show.

Alright, it's 11:59, I should try out this midnight channel, Yu thought before walking over to look at the TV.

"I thought so, nothing's happening." Yu said as he prepared for bed when suddenly a glow caught his attention. "What the?"

Someone was on the TV, even though it was off. "Maybe there is something to this midnight channel after all." Yu said when suddenly he felt dizzy.

I am thou… Thou art I… the time has come

"What the?" Yu asked as the mysterious voice vanished and the TV turned itself off again.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"What, oh it was just a nightmare." Nanako said as she sat up in her bed. "Maybe I should go tell him, he might be able to help me."

Nanako just walked up to Yu's room and started to open the door. "I'm sorry to bug you, but…" she said before seeing something unbelievable.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"What's going on, why am I hearing things?" Yu asked before reaching towards his TV, but when his hand reached the screen it kept going.

"What the, what's going on now?" Yu asked before something pulled his head in through the television.

After a brief struggle Yu managed to pull his head out of the TV and crashed into his table, that's when he noticed Nanako standing in the doorway with her hands over her mouth. "Nanako, what's wrong?" he asked.

"You just went inside the TV, how did you do that?" Nanako asked.

"I don't know, but at least now I know I'm not crazy." Yu said. "I'll see if anyone else knows about what happened."

"Ok, I'll tell dad." Nanako said. "He might be able to figure it out."

"Right, well in that case we should both get some sleep." Yu said. "Come on I'll tuck you in."

"I'm ok, I can take care of myself." Nanako said before leaving the room.

"Wow, I wonder what Yosuke and Chie will think of that." Yu said to himself before getting into bed. "I doubt they knew about that part of the midnight channel."

(The twist has begun, thanks for all the assistance with making the story better. I actually could use some suggestions; I need four new personas for two new members of the Investigation Team. Thanks again for the help.)
