"Welcome back." Dojima said calmly.
"Thanks uncle." Yu said.
"Do you mind if I ask you something?" Dojima asked. "Do you know Saki Konishi?"
"Yeah, I just met her today." Yu said. "Wait wasn't she the one who found that?"
"Yeah, she was." Dojima said quietly. "Just let me know if there's anything bothering you alright?"
"I will, thanks uncle." Yu said going up to his room.

"Alright, it's almost midnight so let's see what this midnight channel is." Yu said turning off his television only for nothing to appear on the screen. "I should have guessed, it was just a rumor."
As he said that, Yu turned away from his TV only for it to start glowing and a black cloud to appear around the silhouette of a girl.
I am thou, thou art I.
What the, what was that, Yu thought turning back to his TV. There really is someone on the screen, but that shouldn't be possible. Maybe there is something to this midnight channel after all.
As he thought that Yu reached towards his TV screen only to pass through and get stuck inside his TV before pulling back and crashing into his table.
"Are you ok?" Nanako asked. "I heard a loud noise."
"I'm alright, sorry about waking you up Nanako." Yu said.
"Ok, well goodnight." Nanako said.
"Good night Nanako." Yu said calmly. That was weird; I definitely need to talk to Chie and Yosuke tomorrow, he thought.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Good morning Nanako." Yu said politely.
"Morning, dad already left." Nanako said quietly.
"Oh, are you going to be ok on your own?" Yu asked.
"I'm ok, dad has to work late a lot." Nanako said turning on the TV.
"Well alright, I'll see you tonight Nanako." Yu said before walking out of the house.

"Excuse me." Chie said while running under Yu's umbrella.
"Chie, it's pouring. Don't you have an umbrella?" Yu asked.
"Oh, well I did but then I tried copying this move from a kung fu movie and well…" Chie said hesitantly.
"I get it." Yu said.
"Thanks." Chie said before stopping. "I should just run from here, I'll see you in class."
"It's fine, I don't mind walking with a friend." Yu said. "Oh by the way, I wanted to talk with you and Yosuke."
"Huh, oh yeah let's talk about that after class alright?" Chie asked.
"Sure, that's fine with me." Yu said. I wonder if they passed through their televisions too, he thought while walking to the school with Chie.

"Hey, did you guys see it last night?" Yosuke asked quietly.
"Yeah, I definitely saw someone on the screen." Chie said. "I couldn't tell exactly who it was though."
"Same here, but if I had to guess it looked like a girl from our school to me. She had shoulder length hair and I think she was wearing the female uniform." Yosuke said.
"No way, I think that's the same person I saw." Chie said in shock. "Wait, but how can we have the same soul mate? For that matter why was my soul mate a girl?"
"What about you Yu, did you see the same person?" Yosuke asked.
"Yeah, but something weird happened last night. I heard this strange voice and then I fell into my TV." Yu said.
"Wait you mean you broke it, that sucks man." Yosuke said.
"I didn't break it, I fell through the screen. If it was a little bigger I'd have passed through." Yu said.
"You must have been dreaming, people can't pass through the TV." Chie said. "It's impossible. Oh but that does remind me I wanted to pick out a new TV."
"Well you're in luck, we have some at Junes." Yosuke said. "Why don't you come along too, maybe one of them is big enough for you to pass through."
"Why not." Yu said thoughtfully. Maybe I was dreaming, but it felt so real.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"So what do you think about this one Chie?" Yosuke asked.
"It's awesome." Chie said. "In fact, it might just be big enough."
With those words Chie and Yosuke placed their hands on the screen.
"I thought so, it's impossible to pass through a TV. Anyway, what kind of TV were you looking for Chie?" Yosuke asked.
"Well what do you have?" Chie asked before walking off with Yosuke to look at more televisions.
Was it just a dream, I was certain it was real, Yu thought walking up to the TV and placing his hand on it only for it to pass through the screen.
"Oh yeah, I was meaning to ask what kind of TV do…" Yosuke started to ask.
"Huh, what's wrong Yosuke?" Chie asked before turning to see Yu's arm inside the TV screen. "What in the world?"
"How are you doing that, I mean what's your trick?" Yosuke asked in shock.
"I don't know, but if my arm can pass through then maybe." Yu said before sticking his head through the screen.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Chie asked nervously.
"This is crazy, I mean first his arm and now his head?" Yosuke asked in disbelief. "Oh man, my bladder can't take this kind of stress."
The moment Yosuke said that he ran towards the front of the store only to immediately run back.
"What's wrong with you?" Chie asked.
"Customers, they're coming." Yosuke said in a panic.
"Are you serious, we have a guy stuck halfway inside a TV. What are we going to do?" Chie asked nervously.
As Chie said that she and Yosuke started panicking before the two of them crashed into Yu and all three of them fell into the TV.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"What the, where are we?" Chie asked nervously.
"I don't know, are you guys alright?" Yu asked.
"I'm alright, what about you Chie?" Yosuke asked.
"I'm fine, but we really need to get back." Chie said nervously.
"You're right, let's look around and try to find the way out." Yu said.
"Yeah, I agree." Yosuke said. "There has to be an exit somewhere. We just need to find it."
(Yu, Yosuke, and Chie have fallen through the TV and arrived in a strange location. Next chapter a new character will be introduced. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
