The Arisato twins slept well that night, the night they had returned to Tartarus for the first time after they have been released from the seals of Nyx. During the dream, they dreamt about a new Social Link that they have never encountered during the original dimension.

Thou art I… And I am thou…

Thou hast established a new bond…

Thou shalt have our blessing when thou choosest to create a Persona of the Universe Arcana.

Then, when the voice and the card disappeared, they both woke up. They met each other on the dining table and they knew that both of them had been given the same Social Link in their dreams. They met with Yukari and Junpei and went to school together. After listening to the morning assembly and the highly intelligent speech of Mitsuru's, they went to class and the twins did what they do the most in class. Sleep while listening to their Mp3s.

Minato woke up when Junpei was poking his head and snatching his headphones off. Minato pretended to still be asleep and tried hard not to punch Junpei.

"Poke. Poke. Poke. He he!"

That's it! Minato turned his head around to face Junpei and opened his eyes to shoot a mental Bufudyne along his way. When Junpei shrunk in fear, Minato turned his head back and closed his eyes to return to his sleep.

'That's it! MINATO WAKE UP!'

Minato was immediately woken up when he had received a telepathic scream and a telepathic punch on the head. He turned to look at Minako who was glaring a mental Ragnarok at him. Minato gulped and sat upright.

"What do you want, sis?" Minato asked, using the word 'sis' to annoy her.

"For you to curl up and die, brother." Minako said with a wide smile and anger dripping off her voice, Minato swore that he almost saw Thanatos behind her, but it was immediately gone.

"O-Okay, I'm up. I'm up." Minato said. "What do you want Minako?"

'Today's the day when Akihiko-'

"Oh right, I still owe you."

'N-not that! I haven't finished! Today's the day when we Akihiko introduced us to Officer Kurosawa!'

"Oh right. Let's go, we met him on the front gates."

"Hey Junpei, wanna go to Hagakure?" Minako asked, waving at him.

"Sure, why not?" Junpei answered.

"Your treat." Minako said quickly.

"H-Hey! That's not fair!" Junpei laughed.

Minako and Minato joined laughing. Then they met Akihiko and his fan-girls near the front gate of the school.

"KYAAAAA!" the fan-girls shouted.

"Ugh… Hey Arisato, Iori!" Akihiko shouted at them.

"Hey Sanada-senpai!" Minako greeted cheerfully.

The fan-girls glared daggers at her, while Minako glared swords back at them, with Thanatos backing her up. Now Minato could really see the silhouette of Thanatos above Minako. The fan-girls scurried away to where they were supposed to be. Once the fan-girls were gone, Thanatos disappeared.

"Scary…how did you summon Thanatos without an Evoker?"

'I have my ways. But this Thanatos can't fight Shadows and can only mentally attack other humans.'

"…"

"Hey are all of you free this afternoon?" Akihiko asked them, "Can you meet me later in the police station at Paulownia Mall?"

"Sure." Minako answered.

"What about Hagakure?" Junpei whined.

Junpei received a kick on the stomach by Minato and a punch on the head by Minako.

"Hey! What happened? Have you all become crazy?" Junpei asked, doubling over pain.

"No, just shut up." Minato glared at him. Junpei looked afraid only after Minako had helped Minato glare at Junpei with Thanatos.

"You have got to teach me how to summon Thanatos mentally."

'Sure. Why not.'

"Senpai, you want to go to Hagakure with us?" Minato asked casually.

"Sure, anything to get away from school." Akihiko sighed, "And these girls."

"Awww, Senpai!" the fan-girls whined.

"Let's go." Akihiko said, signaling to the group to run over to Iwatodai.

The group ran over to Hagakure and ordered four specials. Minato and Minako finished first, with Junpei going third and Akihiko going fourth.

"Come on, I think we already wasted enough time, we have to get going to the police station in Paulownia." Akihiko said, calling the group over to the police station, "Wait here, until I say to come in. I need to talk to the officer for a while."

They waited for a while until they heard Akihiko's voice, "Come in guys. Officer Kurosawa, these are the ones that I was talking about."

"…" The strict looking officer stared at the Arisato twins and glared at Junpei.

"Officer, these are the Arisato twins, Minato and Minako, and this is Junpei Iori. The Arisato twins are not joining S.E.E.S for the while since they are only observing, but they have amazing power. But Junpei Iori here…" Akihiko's voice trailed off.

"Hey! What's this about me?" Junpei demanded.

"Easy kid. Don't shout. My name is Officer Kurosawa and I supply S.E.E.S for weapons and armor. But will still have to pay, nothing in life is free." Officer Kurosawa introduced.

'Minato, what do we do? Say that we already have the best weapons and armor possible?'

"Since the Arisato twins are not in S.E.E.S yet, you're not allowed to buy here, it's just an introduction." Akihiko said.

"Hey, what 'bout me? I'm in S.E.E.S too you know!" Junpei told Akihiko.

"Don't remind me." Akihiko growled.

"Hmph!"

"A-Anyway." Minako said, "I'm sorry Kurosawa-san that I cannot buy anything yet, but I am sure to visit here again."

"Anytime, Minako." Officer Kurosawa smiled at her.

Woah. The Officer Kurosawa smiled!

"I got to go know." Kurosawa said, wiping his smile off, "It's best if you hurry along now, don't get caught by the other policemen here."

Minako bowed slightly, "Thank you Kurosawa-san!" and walked out of the police station with the others following her.

"Hey, I'm going to finish your owes, go out with Akihiko-senpai to the dorm."

'Thanks, but how are you going to distract Junpei?'

"Easy."

"Hey Junpei!" Minato called out to Junpei, "I have some trouble with Innocent Sin Online, do you think you can help me?"

"You play Innocent Sin Online?" Junpei asked, a new wave of respect for Minato appeared, "Sure! Leave it to the master!"

"Minako, you said you wanted to go to the music shop, right? Akihiko-senpai, can you go with Minako instead?" Minato asked, expecting a yes.

"H-Huh? Y-Yeah." Akihiko stuttered.

"Hey, I think he likes you!"

'S-Shut up!'

"Junpei, hurry up will you!" Minato scolded and they went to the dorm.

"S-So Minako," Akihiko said, "The music shop right?"

"Yeah, let's go then!" Minako said cheerfully, trying her best to act normal.

They went over to the music shop in Paulownia Mall and picked out some records.

"…"

"What is it Akihiko-senpai?" Minako asked when he became silent after talking about some records.

Akihiko laughed a little, "This afternoon you called me Sanada-senpai, now you call me Akihiko-senpai."

Minako forgot about the dimensions and blushed.

"It's this record, Miki used to like it, it was her favorite." Akihiko said, "Miki was my little sister. She… died in an accident."

"Oh I'm sorry." Minako said. "…Can I see the record?"

Akihiko gave her the record and Minako looked at it for a while. Then she slipped the record on the music player and played it. She listened to it for a while and gave the headphones to Akihiko.

"We're buying the record." Minako stated once Akihiko had finished listening to it.

"W-What? Why?" Akihiko asked.

"These songs inside the record symbolizes happiness." Minako told Akihiko, "If these songs were truly Miki's favorite, then it might be a message from Miki to be happy. So whenever you feel sad, listen to it and remember her message to you."

Akihiko laughed for a while, and then bit his lip, "Thanks for the advice, Minako."

Thou art I… And I am thou…

Thou hast established a new bond…

Thou shalt have our blessing when thou choosest to create a Persona of the Star Arcana.

"Yeah, don't worry about it." Minako said.

After they paid for the record, they went back to the dorm, and Minato was already waiting for Minako by reading a book on the sofa lounge. Akihiko went upstairs to his room.

"How'd it go?"

'Star Arcana Social Link level 1.'

"Now nobody owes anything right?"

'Maybe, maybe not.'

"Cheater."

'Heehee.'

"Welcome back Minako. Both of you Arisato twins can go to Tartarus if you want. Just tell me. But I doubt that we need to go there, we have reached the barrier." Mitsuru told them both, who was sitting on the sofa next to Minato.

"Then I'm going to sleep early!" Minako said as she yawned, "Good night Minato, Mitsuru-senpai!"

"Good night." Minato replied. "Then I'll be going too Mitsuru-senpai, good night."

"Good night Arisato twins." Mitsuru said.

The next day, Minato and Minako got ready for school as usual and went to school as usual. Along the way, Minato met with Kenji and Minato, Kenji, Minako and Junpei went to Hagakure.

"So you two are twins?" Kenji asked, "Dude, you two don't even look alike!"

"Yeah, we get that a lot." Minako answered, "But we are related.

"So Minato. I hear you and Yukari are close. Damn, boy, you move fast! I mean you just transferred here. …I can't blame you, though. A man's gotta be aggressive nowadays." Kenji told Minato.

"Is that supposed to be good or bad?"

'I think he means that you two are getting closer. It's a good thing of course, that means you're getting to be Yukari's lover fast.'

"But how about me?" Junpei asked, eagerly waiting for a praise.

"…"

"What? Am I that unlikeable?" Junpei sighed.

"Sorry Junpei!" Minako laughed, "Gotta tell the truth! Trust me, there will be someone that will come and protect you with your life."

"You mean Chidori?"

'Yeah, I still feel guilty of what happened. I want to change that fact later on if I can.'

"Hehe, thanks Mina-tan!" Junpei joined laughing, "What about you Mina-tan?"

"H-Huh? O-Oh I…" Minako stuttered and blushed a deep red.

"Oh so there is someone, isn't there?" Junpei teased, "Come on, come on, who is it?"

"It's none of your business, Stupei!" Minako said, sticking her tongue out.

"H-Hey! I resent that!" Junpei said in defense.

The four laughed together, and the twins heard the familiar voice and the familiar Social Link Card.

Thou art I… And I am thou…

Thou hast established a new bond…

Thou shalt have our blessing when thou choosest to create a Persona of the Magician Arcana.

"Oh, look at the time! I'm missing the soccer match!" Kenji exclaimed, "See you next time, Minato, Minako and Junpei!" and he went away.

"Yeah, I also need to go and read manga in Book-On. They're almost closing. Bye!" Junpei said and rushed off.

"Let's go back Minato." Minako said.

"Yeah, I'm tired, I feel like sleeping for a week." Minato yawned.

Minako laughed and they walked back to the dorm to sleep early.

(A/N: Okay, let's have an agreement. Let's skip this boring part and get to the cool part okay? I know you're too lazy to read the boring parts and I can't waste time. So let's skip to the first day of May. Minato has raised his Lovers Social Link to level 3 and Minako has raised her Star Social Link to level 3. They both have Emperor, Chariot and Magician Social Link level 2. Minato joins the Track team and Minako joins the Volleyball team. On to the story!)

The Arisato twins sighed simultaneously. It was a lot of work to rebuild all the Social Links from scratch, especially when the twins know about Ikutsuki and despise him, and Ikutsuki despises them back, but he knows that they are of great importance since they are the only ones that can connect with Fuseus, and the twins knew that too.

"Hey! Are you guys sick or something?" Junpei and Yukari asked worriedly. "Both of you've been staring into space and we've been calling your names but to no response."

The twins snapped back to reality, "Yeah, we're fine. Just a little tired is all."

"We're going to go to the hospital since Akihiko-senpai had a checkup and he asked me to bring the class roster of 2-E. He knows who to count on." Junpei said.

"That's because you don't have anything to do, Stupei." Minako said wearily.

"H-Hey! Not you too! Why is everyone calling me Stupei?" Junpei complained.

"Because you're a Stupei." Yukari snickered, "Anyway, I'm gonna come with Stupei to the hospital. You two want to come with?"

"Eh, sure why not?" Minato said and stood up from his desk.

"If Minato's going, then I'm going too." Minako answered.

"The first time we meet Shinjiro-senpai."

'Yeah. And later he's going to save our butts from the punks behind Port Island Station.'

"Ah, good times. Good times."

'Minato… Shijiro-senpai will…'

"Yeah sorry, never mind I said anything."

"Let's go then, Akihiko-senpai won't like to be kept waiting!" Minako said cheerfully.

The four went to the hospital, and as expected, they met Shinjiro first. Junpei was muttering a question to Shinjiro, obviously afraid of him. Thankfully, before anyone got hurt, Akihiko came in and Shinjiro went away.

"Uh, you shouldn't move your arm…" Junpei said to Akihiko when he tried to punch into the air.

"It's nothing. I've wasted enough time already. I need to get back in the ring!" Akihiko told him.

"Let's go then, I think we're being a nuisance to other patients, let's talk later." Minako told them.

"O-Oh, sorry!" Akihiko bowed to the patients and they left the hospital. The conversations continued along the way, but Minato and Minako preferred to listen to their headphones instead.

"Tomorrow, Pharos will come…"

'We missed the first meeting, I wonder why, but I hope Pharos will come, it has been a long time.'

"Does dividing Death into two and putting one half in me and the other half in you have anything to do with it?"

'Hm…Good point.'

As usual, they slept, woke up, went to school and waited in Minato's room for the Dark Hour to come.

"Good evening, were you expecting me?" Pharos said as he suddenly appeared in the center of Minato's room.

"Yes, we were." Minato replied.

"…I remember. Minato and Minako, the dimensions weren't supposed to be fused, weren't they?" Pharos asked quietly.

A little stunned that Pharos remembers, Minato and Minako nodded.

"How did you remember…?" Minako asked.

"I am a Shadow and the Appriser of Nyx. I remember everything like the residents of the Velvet Room." Pharos answered. "I remember my fate and Nyx's fate, and if I remember, probably does Nyx."

"…Pharos, you're Ryoji Mochizuki." Minato told him.

"I know, I told you, I remember everything. And I will become Ryoji Mochizuki in November." Pharos confirmed, "There is no running away from that. I will become the Appriser of Nyx in a true human form. But your friends do not remember about you at all, am I correct?"

"…"

"I understand. That was thoughtless of me. I'm sorry." Pharos said, "I see you have your Fusion Cards. Your name when you fused is Fuseus, is it? An interesting name, interesting indeed."

"Pharos, you said earlier that Nyx will probably remember everything from the two dimensions, what do you think Nyx will do?" Minako asked worriedly.

"I do not know. But I might be able to find out something about that. And I came to warn you, the next full moon will come." Pharos reminded. "And I might be visiting more than usual with the information I gathered. I do not want you both to suffer because of me. I will try to do everything I can to avoid it. I promise."

Minako and Minato nodded, but still a little worried.

"Unfortunately, my time is up. I'm sorry that I made you sad and worried." Pharos apologized, "Until we meet again." And he disappeared.

A long silence occurred between Minako and Minato, then Minako stood up. "Good night, brother." Minato wasn't angry that Minako called him 'brother', but she was in need of comfort, and she always used 'brother' if she needed comfort, or if she was angry.

"Good night, sis." Minato replied and lied on his bed, thinking.

Minako went out of Minato's room, and went into her room. She also lied on her bed, thinking of the dangers that Nyx might do if she really does remember her and Minato and everything that has happened.

Best-case scenario is that Nyx will surrender, which both Minako and Minato highly doubt that it would happen. Worst case scenario is that Nyx will come without any weaknesses at all, since Nyx had already experienced two battles before. They both sighed and turned to sleep, with worry in their minds.

It was never easy. And it never will.

DLWolf: Shocking isn't it? I just got the plot twist idea now, though I guess it is a bit early. So… who should do the disclaimers now…

Junpei: Woohoo!

DLWolf: What's this all of the sudden?

Junpei: I just played Innocent Sin Online and I defeated the last boss!

DLWolf: …Stupei.

Junpei: Hey! Why does everyone keep on calling me that?

DLWolf: Stupei, go and do the disclaimers.

Junpei: What? *Sigh* Why do I never catch a break?

DLWolf: Because if I give you a break, you'll waste it. Now hurry up and do the disclaimers.

Junpei: Fine. Disclaimers: DarknessLightWolf does not own P3P/P3 and any characters in it. Now can I catch a break?

DLWolf: I never even made a deal with you, Stupei.

Junpei: Hey! Why you! *Chases DarknessLightWolf*

DLWolf: Haha, you can't catch me! Thanks XxXTwilight-SinXxX for the comment, I hope I can keep on going with this strike! Thanks Anime-VGsUltimate00 and LiLaoRyo704 for the favorites!
