"Hey wait, now what are we supposed to do?" Chie asked.
"We should go with him." Yu said.
"Huh, are you nuts what if we get stuck there and can't get back out?" Chie asked. "We need to stop him."
"Chie, you know how he felt about Saki-sempai. He's going in with or without us, at least if we go with him we'll be safer than if we went there on our own." Yu said.
"Yeah but, look we know where he's going so let's just try and figure something out on the way." Chie said.
"Alright, if you say so." Yu said before the two of them ran after Yosuke.

"I had a feeling you guys would come, so you agree with me don't you?" Yosuke asked.
"No you idiot, we came here to stop you from doing something stupid." Chie said in annoyance.
"Look, I know it was Saki-sempai on the midnight channel last night and now she's dead just like that announcer. There has to be an answer and the only place I can think of to find it is in there." Yosuke said. "What about you, do you get why I have to go back?"
"Yeah I do, but I'm going with you." Yu said.
"Are you both completely insane?" Chie asked.
"No, I have everything worked out already." Yosuke said handing Yu a golf club. "We can use this if anything dangerous shows up."
"That sounds like a plan, but what about you Chie?" Yu asked turning to Chie. "You shouldn't have to come with us if you don't want to."
"You guys are seriously doing this, what if you get stuck and can't get back out?" Chie asked nervously.
"That's what this is for." Yosuke said handing Chie a rope. "Just make sure you don't let go alright Chie?"
"Huh, wait don't tell me this is a lifeline." Chie said nervously.
"It's our best option, if we're connected to you on this side we'll be able to get back out even if we don't run into Teddie again." Yosuke said.
"Alright, let's go." Yu said calmly. "Don't worry Chie, I'm sure everything will be fine."
With those words Yu and Yosuke passed through the TV.
"Oh man, I really hope this stupid plan of his works." Chie said feeling a tug on the rope only to have it snap at the entrance to the TV. "Oh, I knew this was going to happen."

"We're back, so now what Yosuke?" Yu asked.
"If I'm right, Saki-sempai was here before she died. Which means there has to be something that proves it in this world." Yosuke said. "The question is which way would she have gone when she got here?"
Suddenly the rope fell from the sky.
"Looks like your plan didn't work, so now what?" Yu asked.
"We'll just have to find that bear again." Yosuke said.
"Huh, what are you guys doing back here?" Teddie asked walking up to them. "Wait I get it, you're the ones throwing people in here and messing up my world."
"Throwing people in here, what are you talking about?" Yosuke asked. "We came to this world because someone died."
"You're the ones throwing people in here and now you just want to make sure the shadows got to them." Teddie said angrily. "Why else would you come back after I told you how dangerous it is?"
"Teddie, what do you mean someone was thrown in here?" Yu asked. "Someone we know died and we wanted to see if we could figure out how or why."
"So you guys aren't the ones throwing people in here?" Teddie asked. "Ok prove it."
"Prove it, what are you talking about how can we prove it?" Yosuke asked.
"See, it is you guys." Teddie said confidently.
"Look Teddie, you said people get thrown in here and that the shadows are dangerous right?" Yu asked.
"Yeah, that's why I stay away from them." Teddie said. "Well, if you guys say you aren't the one throwing people in here then you need to find out who is."
"Deal, but if you want us to do that we need to ask you to help us with something first." Yu said.
"What is it?" Teddie asked curiously.
"Was there anyone thrown in here recently?" Yu asked.
"Yeah, I smelled someone a little while ago." Teddie said. "Why?"
"It was a friend of ours, we wanted to go and see if we could find out why she was thrown in here." Yu explained.
"Oh, who was it?" Teddie asked.
"Saki-sempai." Yosuke said sadly.
"Saki-sempai, well I don't know if it was that person but I can show you where I smelled the last person that was in here." Teddie said.
"That sounds good, thanks Teddie." Yu said calmly.

"Hey, I'm not crazy right?" Yosuke asked. "This is the shopping district from town right?"
"It looks like it, but why would the shopping district be in the TV?" Yu asked in confusion.
"I told you, people keep getting put in here and it messes up my world like this." Teddie called from behind them.
"Why are you staying so far back?" Yosuke asked. "You're not planning on running if things get dangerous are you?"
"Huh, no I'm just staying out of the way so if the shadows show up you guys won't have to worry about me." Teddie said defensively.
"Why do I doubt that?" Yosuke asked in annoyance. "Well anyway if this is the shopping district that means the Konishi liquor store should be this way."
"Lead the way Yosuke." Yu said calmly.
"What a horrible child." said a female voice. "She knows how hard her family works and she abandoned them like that."
"Huh, where did that voice come from?" Yosuke asked.
"I don't know, there's nobody else in here." Yu said in confusion.
"It's people like her that are the reason that store is closing down so many good shops, it's an insult to Inaba." said a male voice.
(Yu, Yosuke, and Teddie are investigating Saki Konishi's disappearance and have arrived at a replica of the Inaba Shopping District inside the TV. Next chapter Yu and Yosuke will awaken to their personas. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
