"It's really nice today... I'd go fishing... but... Well... I left my gear at home... Ah well..." Frank placed both his hands behind his head and stretched lightly before continuing to walk through Windia Park. The Persona User thought about heading to the lake to get some fishing in, but decided only to just take a calming stroll down one of the paths.

"So... you're my new host? You're not that bad!"

Frank blinked as he heard the voice of his new Persona in his head. From the first thing that Remy had said to him, he could tell that they were extremely compatible.

You're Remy, huh? I'm Frank. Nice to meet you... So, you're getting to know the others that are with me?

"Of course... They're all nice... and apparently, from this world... I like them! Unlike other Persona... they actually treat me like an equal... and Ryu... Ooh... I really, REALLY like!!!"

Remy... first thing's first... I'll lay out one rule. No hitting on him, please... All right?

"Okay... okay... you know, you're a hell of a lot nicer than that other kid... the one with the glasses..."

You mean, Nate?

"Yeah... that one. I couldn't stand his attitude... yelling at me all the time, being strict... In all honesty, we weren't compatible. He gets the toned down benefits, but I'm not emerging to help him."

Nate's like that... It's just a certain aspect of his... I know he needs to tone it down, but... He has a hard time doing so...

"I see... well, anyway, I think you're a great guy! The others have told me about you... always caring about others, putting your neck on the line... and the Persona Break ability you have... You know, you're cute... Even Katt says so... I'd be after you in a moment if you weren't taken..."

The Persona User stopped dead in his tracks and began to blush.

All right, Remy...

"What? Can't take a complement?" With that, the Persona began to giggle in his mind.

Okay, okay... I get the point... Tell you what. I'll Persona Break you, and maybe we could talk face to face... I've only encountered a few of your kind... and I need to refresh my memory...

"Deal!"

Frank looked around for a small clearing where he could change his Persona and do a Persona Break. Eventually, he found one, and made his way to it. The Persona User reached skyward and cleared his throat.

"Persona Change... Remy!!!" With that, five images split from Frank's body and circled him. After a moment, one image landed back on the Persona User with the other ones quickly following it. Once more, Frank looked around to make sure that no one was following him. Apparently satisfied that no one was around, he reached skyward once more.

"Persona BREAK!!!" This time, a gold circle appeared underneath the Persona User, and he was engulfed in a column of soft, golden light. Remy seemed to float from his soul, before a bright flash lit the area. After the flash died down, the column of light and the circle faded back into Frank soul. Standing before him was Remy.

Remy was, to say the least, drop dead gorgeous. She had long bluish-black hair, magenta eyes, and long, pointed ears, somewhat like an elf. Her lips had a shade of lipstick to match the color of her eyes. The demoness was wearing a skin-tight, dress that was dark red, with hints of rich purple through out, which matched her low heeled shoes. Frank noticed that she had a pair of black, leathery wings and a crimson red devil's tall waving around in amusement.

"Well then..." Frank said as he looked at Remy. "Anything you'd like to talk about? And no hitting on me. I am taken, you know!"

Remy's ears drooped. "Aw... not even once? Just for fun???" The demoness said before noticing Frank's shocked look. "Okay, okay... I was kidding..."

Frank just chuckled before he and Remy left the clearing to walk down the path. Unfortunately, he didn't realize that someone was watching him.

From farther back on the path and out of the Persona User's view, there was a silver winged teenage Windian who had just witnessed the entire scene. The Windian tilted the brown cowboy hat atop his head and brushed a strand of his long silver hair out of his face. After doing that, he shrugged his silver wings, making his long brown trench coat flutter a little bit.

"That's him... he's the one that has a Nina within him... a human, of all people... with a Nina helping him... So that's Frank..."

The Windian, known as William West, or better known to his friends as Billy Lee West, eyed the Persona User as he walked down the path, before tugging his trench coat around him.

"Just who are you, Frank Maynard... You don't deserve her... you never did, and you never will..."

Billy glared at the Persona User once more before heading off in the other direction.

************************************

Frank and Remy continued to walk down the path, talking about various things, before something caught her attention. She was now staring at Jason Burnhart, licking her lips lightly.

"Hey... who is that hunk???" The demoness asked Frank without removing her eyes from the Windian.

"Him? That's Jason Burnhart... He- Hey! Where are you going???" Frank said as he watched Remy leave after getting a name out of him.

Remy strolled over to the Windian, who was currently laying down on a bench with his eyes closed. Currently, he was whistling what seemed to be a bird call. A mischievous grin slowly formed along her face as her devil's tail flicked lightly. Remy leaned over the Windian and gave him a long, deep kiss.

Jason's eyes opened in surprise as soon as Remy's lips came in contact with his. As soon as Remy stopped the kiss, Jason shot up and looked at her.

"What the fuck???" Jason stammered as he gave her a confused look. Remy looked at the Windian and giggled as her tail twitched in amusement.

"Aww... come on, handsome... I know you liked that..." The demoness gave him a wink before striding up to him and taking a seat beside the Windian.

"Who the hell are you?" Jason said as he tried to slide away from the demoness. Unfortunately, he couldn't, because Remy had him cornered. The only reason that Jason wasn't yelling at her was because she was a lady.

"Just call me Remy, handsome... I heard your name is Jason... you know, I can't resist seeing such a cute guy like you all alone..." Remy let out a low, throaty purr before resting her head against Jason. "You know, I could make it worth your while..."

Jason let out a loud and audible gulp as he looked at how Remy was looking at him with those magenta eyes. He turned to ignore the demoness and noticed Frank running toward the bench.

"Jason!" The Persona User said as he skidded to a stop. "Sorry about this..."

The Windian glared at the Persona User. "You had something to do with this?"

"Kinda... she's one of my Persona... currently Persona Broken... Remy, leave the poor guy alone!" Frank said to both of them.

Remy gave Frank a pouty look. "Aww... do I have to?"

"Yes, Remy. Leave him alone... and while we're at it, I'll return you to my soul for a bit... I'll let you back out later." Frank said as he crossed his arms and looked at the demoness.

"Oh... all right..." Remy said before giving a small kiss to the Windian. She gave him one more wink before fading, and zooming back into Frank's soul.

"Jason... Man, I am truly sorry about this... It won't happen again, okay?" With that the Persona User continued to walk down the path.

Jason looked at Frank before shaking his head. "Man... Windia has a lot of fucked up things going on..." The Windian then returned to his bench to rest.
