Yosuke was looking forward to another nice night at the summer festival, but that was promptly ruined when he received an emergency call from Junes. The food stall they were running had run out of meat, so he was delivering some from the store. He was glad to have his scooter to carry it, but it still put a damper on his night. As he pulled up to the stall, he noticed someone familiar sitting at the counter, their back towards him.
"Why am I not surprised to see you here when the stall runs out of meat?" Yosuke said. Chie turned around quickly and scowled at him.
"Shut up! It wasn't me, I haven't had anything to eat at all yet!"
"Yeah, but I bet you ordered the biggest item on the menu." Yosuke said, removing the box of meat from his scooter. "You know, if you keep eating like this, you're gonna end up all fat and gross..."
"Yosuke, you are such an ass!" Chie yelled at him as he went behind the stall. He wasn't sure why but he really enjoyed tormenting her sometimes. But, deciding that she had been through enough recently, he came back around and sat down next to her with a nicer attitude.
"How's Muku doing?" he asked.
"Good." Chie replied. "He doesn't seem to be phased at all by what happened." She was quiet for a moment, considering something. "Are you hungry? My treat, for helping with Muku."
"Really? You'll pay for me?" Yosuke said, shocked. "Good! With me paying for things all of the time, people are going to start to think that we're–" Yosuke stopped what he was about to say as soon as he realized that he was going to say it. What was he thinking? He could feel his face flush at the idea of it.
"Wha...what!? What are you talking about!?" Chie said, blushing. Neither knew what to say and they fell into awkward silence, which was quickly broken as someone loud came up behind them.
"Hi Chie and Yosuke!" Teddie said loudly and happily, placing a hand on each of their shoulders. This caused both of them to nearly jump out of their skin.
"Don't sneak up on us like that, stupid bear!" Yosuke yelled at him, but he was truly thankful for the interruption.
"I'm sorry..." Teddie replied, pouting. But his expression quickly changed. "Hey, wait a minute...Are you two on a date?"
"What!? No! W-why would you think that!" Chie told him loudly.
"OK, good!" Teddie said cheerfully. "I would have been beary upset since you owe me a date, Chie!" Chie groaned as Teddie suddenly grabbed her hand. "Come on! Let's start our date now!"
"Hey! Wait a minute!" Chie protested as Teddie pulled her from her seat and into the fest. The server had just brought out her food. "My steak..."
"Don't worry, I'll save it." Yosuke laughed, picking up the bowl. "I'm coming too, I'm not letting you run off with out getting my meal!"
"Run off!? I'm being kidnapped by a runaway bear!" Yosuke laughed again. Maybe having to restock the stall wasn't such a bad thing after all. It seemed like tonight was shaping up to be a good night.
Yosuke and Chie feel their relationship has grown yet deeper…
