Persona 3: Dreams Under the Moonlight

By Tayla Drago

(Note: Hi! It's me, Tayla Drago – Anime lover and supporter of all voice actors. I also love playing video games to play...some RPG video games I'm good at. Now I wish to do a different version of Persona 3 of the PSP edition with the female playable character, yep! In other words, the female hero is the focus of this story name Faye Arisato to visit her brother's name Minato Arisato who they were separated after their parents were killed to live from their divorced stepparents; to also go to a school in some club to do something at nighttime at midnight. Along with a mysterious boy seeing Faye in her dreams to keep her calm to have something to do with her and Minato's past. All about him seeing some of the girls liking Minato and more friendship to love with the boys with Faye, but who will she end up with...? This game version of the girl is better to play to my choice, huh? As my second favorite. Also, the music I hear at times will be from the rock band Disturbed when you imagine reading this. :) So, I just wanna let you guys 'who are Persona fans to know about all of this'.)

Tayla: And now...here's something we hope you really like. Now then, on with the story!

Episode #1 – Reunited Siblings

Time never waits.

It delivers all equally to the same end.

You, who wish to safeguard the future,

however, limited it may be...

You will be given one year.

Go forth without falter,

with your heart as your guide...

From the moonlight in the skies to being full to being shining late at night time for one girl to be sleeping on her way on the train ride to go somewhere as she hears someone calling out to this person...

Mysterious Voice: ...Hello...Please help me...If anyone can hear my voice, please come.

Where was it coming from? This girl looks around to be somewhere else to see someone standing alone and looking scared, for she gets up to this unknown man to try to help him out.

?: Huh? Who's there...? Who's calling out to me? Hello...? Who are you?

Seeing each other for the man to remain in the shadows to see this girl for them to stare, reaches out with their hands, and then...he then leaves inside of the shadows to have this girl caught off guard to be lost in what has happened to this man.

?: He's gone!

Mysterious Voice: Don't worry, we'll meet each other again real soon.

Once he said those words for everything to become brighter all over the area for this girl to see something from a quick flashback to look destroyed in the end, leaving this teenage girl to wake up to be all a dream, or was it...? But she wasn't the only one, so was another boy to have trouble remembering something from this girl's dreams. Hmm...

Teenage Boy: What was that? Sis...

Anyways, what a busy day to be going on right now. At the terminal station, evening...The station entrance is buzzing with activity...Lots of people to have fun a lot at nighttime more than the daytime after a long week to happen, it comes and goes. Meanwhile, elsewhere...

Female Student: *gasp* *gasp* I just...put it to my head...And pull the trigger...No chickening out...

A female Student holds gun to her head. Then it goes black out and the sound of the gun being tossed aside is heard.

Female Student: No... I can't!

Inside the New City passenger train 'Anehazuru' ...

Train Conductor: [Due to a malfunction in the switching system, today's rail schedule has been greatly altered. We apologize to any customers who were in a hurry. The next stop is Iwatodai...]

Soon an image of a butterfly is seen for this girl named Faye Arisato. Seeing this to also try to remember something, a certain someone she needs to see, and the boy calling out to her, having a lot of trouble believing if it was all real or not.

Train Announcement: [Iwatodai. This is the final train bound for Tatsumi Port Island. Please take care to board before our departure.]

Soon enough, Faye arrived late...It was almost midnight...

Faye: That late already? I better get going.

And soon as the clock strikes midnight – 12:00 AM, something happens for all the lights to go off in seconds all over downtown.

Dark Hour

Tayla: What's the Dark Hour you ask? The Dark Hour occurs for an hour every night as a time anomaly that takes place during 12:00 AM and serves as the 25th hour hidden between one day and the next. As the phenomenon takes place, non-Persona users are transmogrified into coffins and remember nothing that happens during the Dark Hour once they awaken. Because of this, the general public is unaware of its existence. It is not clarified what the range of the Dark Hour is and whether it appears outside of Japan as a worldwide phenomenon, or if it is exclusive to the time zone of Port Island, though it still appears at Yakushima. If it is a global phenomenon, then it can be assumed that it occurs at midnight for every time zone.

As freaky as it was like this, for Faye to be born with special powers and someone else too in her family 'to be the two of them only as something not normal or right at all'.

Faye: ...? (Something about the atmosphere seems odd...It would probably be best to hurry to the dorm.)

As Faye walk from the station...She notices coffin-like objects lining the deserted city...It's an eerily gigantic moon...From the image-like dream she just saw with the teenage boy for her to hear calling out to Faye was still unknown to remember from the flashes of light, to then arriving to the place for Faye at Gekkoukan High School, of the Iwatodai dorm...

?: You've made it.

Turning around, Faye sees her twin brother who has also arrived to be waiting for his sister Faye named Minato Arisato. Who talks a little to look like he was always down, but he's really caring for Faye to help to stay close to seeing each other and talking on the computer from time to time, for them to be living in the dorm will be their first. For Minato call Faye 'Sis' and she calls her brother by 'Mino'.

Faye: Mino! It's great to see you again!

Minato: Hello, Sis.

The two hugged it out to be happy to always see each other as much as they can, and more for a year to start off a new high school second year life. It was a few years ago for them to see some terrible fire to kill both their parents for them to live in a foster home until they were adopted by a loving couple who wanted children but got divorced to have them separated from each other for Faye stayed with her the stepmother and the Minato with his stepfather. Agreeing to let the siblings still see each other, there was something different on why they were for a year at a special high school they needed to go to and stay at.

Faye: I'm so glad our stepparents agreed for us to still hang out. At a dorm home like this one.

This is the dorm mentioned in their admission pamphlets. So, this must be the place for them to double check on it.

Minato: This is it.

Faye: Really? Oh, I guess it is. Just as the paper is saying. Shall we go in, Mino?

Minato: Yes please.

4/6 M Dark Hour

Entering the building to look dark, Faye soon hears a voice calling out to her only. You see – both Faye and Minato were born with powers to be a bit different to still understand each other; as Faye can see and hear things to no be real 'even in dreams a lot more', while Minato can sense things to be there somewhere to be on high alert about to look weak and sad, but he was much stronger than he appears to be.

Boy's Voice: Welcome.

Faye: Now who's there-?

She looks around the place to see a young boy in stripes standing next to Faye for everything in the room looked like time has frozen and things, all but Faye and more for Minato to sense something was there where his sister was standing next to.

Minato: Sis...? (There's this feeling again.)

Unknown Boy: You're late. I've been waiting a long time.

An unknown boy is holding a piece of paper and a pen out to Faye...

Faye: Who? Me...? But I don't know anything about you. (Why do I have a strange feeling that this boy isn't normal at all?)

Unknown Boy: If you want to proceed, my dear, then please sign here. It's a contract. And no worries, your brother's a good kid to be well guarded, it's just us. There's no need to be scared. It only binds you to accepting full responsibility for your actions.

Something is written on the paper he's holding out to Faye for her to read it.

Faye: "I choose this fate of my own free will." OK...?

Below it is a blank to sign Faye's full name...

Tayla: Of course, Faye signs the contract.

Faye: I don't know what's going on, but you're not bad at doing this, so... "Faye Arisato" ...There.

The name of hers has been signed.

Unknown Boy: ...Very well. Faye Arisato...What a beautiful name you have. And I take it that this young man's your brother...? Minato, wasn't it?

Faye: He is. He's the only family member I have ever had since our parents passed away.

Unknown Boy: I see...Time is something no one can escape. It delivers us all to the same end. Wishing won't make it go away. And so, it begins...Until we meet again, Faye.

The unknown boy disappeared, as if he just melted into the darkness...

Faye: He just disappeared.

Minato: Sis!

With time coming back to normal for Minato to check on Faye.

Faye: Mino? I'm fine. Did you see a little boy in stripes somewhere?

Minato: I felt like I sensed him in this room and now he's gone, something's not right.

Faye: But nothing happened other than putting my name down. Come on, Mino, please lighten up. We just got here, and you're already started to panic on me.

Hey, brother and sister kind of feeling to care for one another.

Minato: Sorry...Yeah, we would've known if he was dangerous. Just...Try to be more careful, Sis.

Faye: I'll try.

For them to feel and be normal, Faye was cheerful to stay strong and to be very smart, same with Minato to look shy and calm to be related. Just then, they both hear someone calling out to them.

Unknown Girl: ...Who's there!?

They see another teenage girl who's the same age as them.

Faye: Oh! I thought I felt someone else was in this building.

For this girl, she looked shocked to see Minato and Faye arriving at the place unharmed.

Unknown Girl: How can you two be...But it's...! Don't tell me...

The girl is holding something that looks like a gun...

Minato: A gun?

Looking worried for them to see someone waving a gun around like it was a toy 'but it wasn't', someone else arrives to stop her.

Other Girl: Wait!

First Girl: ...!

Just in time too.

4/6 M Evening

Once to be dark all over, the lights all over the place come back on. Even from outside and inside it happened...? So weird.

First Girl: The lights...

With that part passed, both Faye and Minato move to their lounges.

Faye: What about them? (Strange, they went off from the time the clock struck midnight...)

For Faye and Minato both notice that something was up.

Other Girl: Welcome back, Minato. I'm glad you returned here safely.

Minato: I know...I'm back with Sis as promised.

Some help from Minato to live in the area more than Faye to be her first. For this boy, he seems to do a lot of work during his time because Faye comes from the downtown part of her home in Japan.

Faye: You have a lot going on, Mino.

Other Girl: I didn't think you'd arrive so late. Just like your brother said, he had told me so much about you, Faye Arisato. My name is Mitsuru Kirijo. I'm one of the students who live in this dorm.

The two shake hands on it.

Faye: Nice to meet you too, Misty. Sorry...but can I call you by that nickname?

Mitsuru: It's fine. Misty...I like it.

Soon the other girl sees Faye up close, for Minato to already know of the two girls already, just new to the dorm.

First Girl: ...Who's she?

Mitsuru: She's a transfer student. It was a last-minute decision to assign Faye here. She'll eventually be moved to a room in the normal dorm.

Like Minato was in his own dorm of the boys' room, so will Faye be all set to go.

Minato: And Sis's things have arrived just fine.

First Girl: ...But is it okay for her to be here?

That won't be any trouble with Faye or for Mitsuru to not worry so much.

Faye: Why wouldn't it be?

Mitsuru: I guess we'll see...This is Yukari Takeba. She'll be a junior this spring, just like you and your brother, Faye.

Now both Faye and Yukari shake on it next for her to somehow like Minato a lot without him noticing so much to see her as a friend to still care about.

Yukari: ...Hi, I'm Yukari.

Faye: Hi, Yukari. Ah, quick question and I'm sorry to ask you about it, but...Why do you have a gun?

For Faye to ask Yukari about her having a gun in her hands 'and to be completely new to Minato', this leaves her to be left speechless of confusion.

Yukari: Huh? Um, well, it's sorta like a hobby...Well, not a hobby, but...

Faye and Minato: A hobby?

That was it to just say it and leave it be.

Mitsuru: You know how it is these days...It's for self-defense. You should know, Faye, it's normal these days. Same here, Minato, there's nothing to worry about. It's not a real gun, of course. It's getting late. Faye, you'll find your room on the 3rd floor. Your things should already be there. I suggest you tuck in for the night. Minato, you say good night to your sister, she needs to sleep in her own room, and you have yours.

Doing so, Faye goes up to her room for Minato does the same to feel no more danger in the building to then go to his.

Minato: Have a good night's sleep, Sis.

Faye: You too, Mino, good night.

Mitsuru leaves and Yukari shows Faye up to her room next.

Yukari: Good night, Minato. Oh...I'll show you the way. Follow me, Faye.

Dormitory, 3rd floor hallway, at the furthest door...For Yukari shows Faye's own room to be a nice one in this type of dorm both she and Minato will be staying in.

Faye: Upstairs for me.

Yukari: This is it...Easy to remember, huh? ...Since it's right at the end of the hall.

Faye: So I've noticed too.

Yukari: So, any questions?

Something was on Faye's mind from the two boys she saw to tell Yukari about some contract she signed when she and Minato arrived.

Faye: Ah, yeah...I signed a contract when I came in...

But she didn't know what Faye was talking about.

Yukari: Huh? What's this about a contract?

Yeah, you see? Yukari doesn't seem to know what Faye was talking about.

Faye: No sign-in papers at all...? (So only Mino and I felt something for me to see the boy a lot more than Misty and Yukari.)

Getting back to moving into the dorm room next...

Yukari: Um...Faye, can I ask you something?

Faye: Sure, shoot.

Yukari: On your way here from the station, was everything okay?

Only to see the lights to be going off and that was it until she arrived with Faye's brother too.

Faye: Yeah, it was fine. What do you mean?

Yukari: I see...Never mind, then. Well, I'd better get going...

Before leaving, to have Faye left confused on what Yukari asked her that odd question.

Faye: OK...

Yukari: Um...I'm sure you still have other questions, but let's save them for later, okay? Good night.

And from there, Yukari walked down the stairs...Leaving Faye to see in front of her was the assigned room of hers...Opening the door, she sees it looking nice for her things to be all there; a small fridge, a sink, with a shower outside and toilet and sink of course, a mirror, closet, a book shelf, a bed, a desk with a computer and a lamp, a chair, a TV, a wallpaper, window curtains to all look nice. For Faye gets settled in to unpacking her other things to get cleaned up and going to sleep to start off her school day tomorrow. Minato was all set to do some things during after school hours to settle in, leaving Faye to be next.

Faye: Now it's bedtime. (I didn't see anything bad. Just a man calling for help, seeing things get weird at night times, and seeing a little boy who asked me to write down his name... I don't know what else to think about but to feel anything bad in seconds, both Mino and I have a special gift ever since that day. I want to use it for good. Somehow, I just want to know if that man I saw was real or a dream.

Hard to say what was what right now...Soon, Faye calls it a night to go to bed to not stop thinking about the boy to see again who needed her help, but will it happen again? Who's can say. Well, do you guys like it? Who will Faye end up falling in love with? Please let me know and I'll do more of these later, promise. :)
