"What time is it?" Teddie asked popping up on stage with his blue paw glove next to his ear. "Oh! I think it's…"
Persona 4 Word Game!
"Yep!" Teddie exclaimed with a large smile appearing on his face as he jumped onto the game's table, spinning the microphone in his hands. "It's the game where while you watch, the Persona Four cast of characters try to figure out how the hell they keep getting in here!
"It's been three episodes and I must say, I like the positive reviews we've gotten!"
That's when the lights lit up around the main area in the TV, revealing the stage and the familiar game tools, "But, enough of that! Let's get the game a rolling shall we? Let's bring out our guest star! From last chapter and the pop idol world…"
"RISE-CHAN!"
A flood of applause erupted over the field as the cute pop idol skipped onto the field, a large bright smile appearing over her face. "Heyo~!"
Teddie jumped off the table, spinning the microphone in his gloved hands, "So, how we doing today Rise-chan?"
"Very good Teddie!" Rise announced with a cute smile appearing on her face. "And I'm ready to play!"
"Most excellent!" Teddie shouted into the microphone as several spotlights began to flow over the studio, until it pointed towards the mist. "And so, let's introduce our contestant for the day! A dog from the streets who's bark is only overshadowed by his bite and bleached hair…
"… Give a round of sound for… Tatsumi Kanji!"
A large wave of applause erupted from no where, allowing the rough looking young man with styled back bleach hair dressed in all black with his uniform jacket hanging on his skull marked shirt to walk onto the stage with a confused look on his face, "Huh? W-Where am I? Last thing I remember, I was at Junes buying some animal crackers… And how the hell did I get here?"
"Kanji!" Teddie announced scaring the rather scary teen to look at the table. "Come on down!"
"Huh!? Someone tell me what's going on!" Kanji shouted throwing his arm to the side.
"Heya Kanji!" Rise announced waving towards the fashion loving teenager. "Come and join the game!"
"Game?" Kanji questioned with a few question marks appearing over his head.
One quick explanation later…
As Kanji took a seat across from Rise, a small blush rising on his face while Teddie lifted up the small sign that held the word that would determine Kanji's fate, "So… I just have to guess what that word is right?"
"Yep!" Teddie stated before he lifted up a small coupon in his paws. "And you'll be competing for a fabulous prize! And the prize today is a coupon for one free anger management class at Big Bob's Institute of Tough Love…"
"Now sit down and shut up!"
Kanji couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at Teddie, "… Any specific reason why you chose that word?"
"Please cover your ears and close your eyes Kanji!" Teddie announced.
"Answer my question you stupid bear!" Kanji shouted with flames appearing in his eyes.
"Oh come on Kanji, it's just a joke," Rise giggled, making Kanji grumbled
As Kanji covered his ears with his hands and closed his eyes, Teddie lifted up the small sign with today's word on it, "So, Rise-chan, you have thirty seconds to get Kanji to say this word…"
Draft
"Draft…" Teddie stated waving the sign as if it were breeze. "Whoosh! Draft!"
"I got it!" Rise announced with a large smile on her face as Teddie tapped Kanji's shoulder.
"And…" Teddie stated throwing his hand down. "Go!"
"Okay, Kanji," Rise stated taking a second to think. "Ah, this creeps into an open window…"
"Oh, is that all? Then its Teddie when he goes on his panty escapades," Kanji chuckled, noticing the blush that appeared on Rise's face, revenge is a dish best served quickly. 'Take that for not letting me pet your fur!'
"Teddie!?! Is that true?" Rise gasped turning towards the bear-shadow.
"P-Please continue the game!" Teddie gulped trying to change the subject.
"Fine," Rise sighed before turning to Kanji. "Okay Kanji, let's say in order to take money out of someone else's account, you need a bank and…"
"And a gun?" Kanji questioned tilting his head to the side.
Rise had to stop for a second, but then shook her head, "Okay, when a writer is just starting on a script, he'll say that this is his first…"
"I dunno," Kanji replied with a shrug. "His first drink?"
"Well, that's the case with most of my writing staff," Rise admitted rolling her eyes. "Uh… Oh! When people in North America turned eighteen, this is something that the U.S.A. army had, but Canada's didn't."
"I got this one," Kanji stated nodding his head up and down a few times. "Bullets."
"Almost out of time Rise-chan," Teddie stated tapping his wrist where a watch would be at.
"Alright!" Rise took in a deep breath. "Kanji, every young athlete is hoping to be picked up in the…"
"… Sports bar?" Kanji questioned raising an eyebrow.
"N-No, not getting picked up by women," Rise explained waving her hands up slightly.
Kanji's eyes widened and he immediately waved his arms in front of him, "I-I-I-I wouldn't know!! I'm not like that!"
"Kanji this obsession just might get you into a drinking habit," Rise joked with a small sweatdrop rolling down the side of her head.
"Well, then I'll start with a large draft," Kanji laughed loudly.
Immediately ringing the bell, Rise smiled greatly as Teddie threw the coupon into Kanji's hands. "And we've got a winner! Stay tuned for the next episode!"
"… Teddie, I think you, me and the other girls need to have a small chat," Rise stated making shivers run down Teddie's spine.
"I… I can bear-ly wait," Teddie chuckled sheepishly.

… Are you still there? Good!
Time: 9:05 p.m.
Location: Junes
It was a late night at the Junes' department store, and it was an oddly calm since there were only a handful of people in the store… Nothing could possibly go wrong!
… But if you were to ask the clerk with messy brown hair, he'd growl at you for saying that. Since Yosuke was taking a late shift for register clerk, he was expecting to go home early on this not so busy day…
… However, luck seemed to have another plan in mind.
"Chie! Kanji! Did you have to come here so late!?" Yosuke grumbled as his two friends came up to the cash register.
"Well, this new kung fu DVD just came out," Chie replied holding up the DVD case as the doors to the elevators began to open up. "And I just had to get it."
"And I didn't realize that you guys were having a sale on Animal Crackers," Kanji explained with a large amount of animal crackers in his arms. "And since I was interrupted by that stupid game earlier… Ugh…"
As the doors to the elevator opened up fully, a mysterious black hooded figure with his hand in his pocket, the light revealing that he was wearing a Batman mask. Walking up to the register, the man kept his covered face straight forward.
"At least this night can't get any worse," Yosuke sighed as he started to ring up Kanji's animal crackers.
"Yo, wassup! This is a stick up man!" The hooded Batman announced pulling out a small pistol from his pocket. "Yeah! Nobody move, I'm Batman fool!"
"… I just had to open my mouth," Yosuke sighed loudly lifting his arms in the air along with Chie and Kanji.
BANG!
Firing off a small warning shot at the ground, the masked Batman waved his free hand in the air, "This is a stick up man! Gimme all the money in the register!"
Hoping to fire a second warning shot, the hooded Batman pulled the trigger towards the ground…
…Click…
Too bad his gun jammed on him, "Uh… snap…"
"Get over here!" Chie shouted jumping towards the hooded Batman.
"What you crazy!?" The hooded Batman shouted before Chie kicked him into the chest. "ACK!"
"Get off me, fool!"
BIFF!
Kanji and Yosuke couldn't help but stare as Chie began to beat up the hooded Batman, even managing to get the gun away from his hands. Yosuke turned towards Kanji, "Damn… Don't see Batman getting his ass handed to him everyday..."
PUNCH!
"Senpai! We gotta help her!" Kanji shouted, throwing the boxes of animal crackers on the register's conveyor belt.
BAM!
"Right! Chie! Do you need some help?" Yosuke asked turning back to Chie who managed to kick the mask off the wannabe Batman's face.
KICK!
"You crazy girl!"
"Don't mess with me!"
"Baka!" Kanji shouted grabbing Yosuke by the neck. "Jump on the freakin' pile! You freaking wussy!"
Yosuke shouted as both he and Kanji leapt to help their friend.
The next day's newspapers in Inaba all said the same thing –
"The Dim Knight VS Three High Schoolers… Guess who wins?"
