Saturday in Windia..."So... you guys are heading home?" Frank said as he checked in on Brad and Yuki.
"Yeah... We've been here for two weeks..." Brad replied as he packed some clothes into a duffle bag. "Dude, the plan was for us to stay for only one week..."
"But..." Yuki cut in as she folded some of her shirts. "Alex and Mary left a message for us, saying that St. Hermelin would need an additional week for construction and cleanup."
"Nate, Ellie, and I are really going to miss you guys..." Frank said quietly.
"We'll miss you too..." Yuki said quietly. "It'll be odd, going to school and not seeing you three... And the others..."
"Yeah, I know..." Frank replied. "Janet and Lucy will miss you, Yuki."
"Dude... I can't wait to come back..." Brad shot in.
"Why's that?" Frank asked as he looked the egotistical Persona User over.
Sonya darted from his bag and began to fly circles around Brad, before landing on his shoulder to face Frank.
"It's that girl he met last night!" The pixie said with a giggle. "Brad's in love!!!"
"Dude!!!" Frank said as he patted Brad on the back. "You finally found the right one???"
"Yeah, man..." Brad replied rather nervously. "That white furred woren last night... the one who was talking to our group last night before we did that megamix."
"Her?" Frank said thoughtfully. The curly haired Persona recalled the events from last night, and finally remembered the name she gave. "Alyson?"
"Yeah, her!" Brad said happily. If one looked closely, the Persona User had hearts in his eyes as Frank mentioned her name. "Alyson Van Horne, to be exact. Man, she is so beautiful..."
As the egotistical Persona User thought about Alyson, his thought soon returned to Janet. His friend. The one he had hurt last night.
"Dude... I need to try and patch things up with Janet before I leave..." Brad said quietly.
"Brad, I'd hate to be the one to break it to you, but..." Yuki looked up from her suitcase and looked her friend in the eyes. "Janet's pretty pissed off at you. I mean she agreed to go as your friend, but still... She's had a bad week. I think what happened last night was the last straw..."
"... Shit..." Brad muttered.
"LANGUAGE!!!" Sonya said as she pounded lightly on Brad's shoulder with both fists. All that Frank and Yuki could do was laugh at the scene.
"Sonya! Chill! I'm sorry!" Brad said as he tried to calm down his pixie companion.
"Anyway, Brad..." Yuki said as she shut her suitcase, latching it. "I'm heading over to Janet's house with Lucy. I'll see if I can't put in a good word for you."
"Thanks, Yuki..."
"No problem, Brad." Yuki replied, punctuating it with a grin. "Well... I'll see you guys later. Okay?"
"Sure thing, Yuki." Frank said with a smile. "You're gonna meet us out in the park later?"
The Japanese Persona User nodded to her friends. "I'll catch you guys later. Lucy's waiting for me down in the shop." With those words, Yuki made her way out of the room and downstairs.
"Well..." Brad said as he checked the room over once more. "That's everything, I guess..." The egotistical Persona User zipped his duffel bag closed, and set it on the bed. "Well... I'm ready to go to the park... I want to see Alyson..."
"Dude..." Frank started before running a hand through his short, curly hair. "Are you going to tell her where you're really from?"
"Well..." Brad placed his hands on his hips and looked skyward, as if he were deep in thought. As the Persona User was thinking, Sonya flitted around him and Frank, before finally coming to a rest on Frank's shoulder.
"I am." Brad finally answered. "I mean she's my girlfriend. She has a right to know, dude. I'm not going to hold back any secrets from her."
"Someone could learn a few things from his friends..."
Katt? What are you...
"Simple... not telling Kate things? Just telling her that you're fine?"
Katt... I don't want her worrying...
"Sure... but if you hold it in now..."
"Anyway, Brad... Ready to go?" Frank said as he offered his friend a smile.
"Sure thing, man." Brad said before flashing a V for victory. The two Persona Users made their way downstairs, and out of the store.
After the two teenagers passed an alley beside the Reverse Edge, two more teens emerged from the alley. They were in fact two more Persona Users, both from Lunarvale. One was a red haired male who held a neutral look, while the other was an African American, wearing a yellow baseball cap.
"Alex..." The African American said after adjusting his cap. "Yo, you've been here before. Where does Ellen live?"
"Well..." Alex replied, turning to his friend, and keeping his neutral look on his face. "I know she lives at the Tiger's Catch... she also works there... If she's not there, we can always try the park. Mark... I hope she's going to be okay..."
"Yeah, well..." Mark said as he looked around Windia for the first time. "It's going to be rough... Least she has friends and family here..."
The two Persona Users began to walk over to The Tiger's Catch, hoping to find their friend. As soon as they left, another teenager emerged from the alley, and began to look around.
"Like, wow!!!" The pigtailed Persona User said as she glanced around Windia. "Like, this is totally where Brad went! I remember being here before!"
Alana Morris was in Windia, which could only mean bad things in the future of one Brad Terranama. The pigtailed Persona User skipped along the sidewalk, making her way to Windia Park, intent on finding Brad.
