Author's Note: To commemorate the announcement of P4 the animation, P4: The Golden, P4 The Ultimate in Mayonaka, and the coming of P5 I wanted to write a one-shot that only slightly but drastically involved the new character Marie that's soon to come. Unfortunately, I have no clue what she is supposed to act like and her personality so most of my ideas that I had thought of would probably be OOC and I really don't want that to happen even though the game isn't out yet. So I came up with this, it's not the best thing I ever wrote but I wrote it out as a one-shot nonetheless. I hope you enjoy it! Read and review!

A bright and sunny day had fallen onto the town of Inaba, the peacefulness was incredibly bliss and welcoming. There was no fog and it seems that all the townsfolk are going through another day in this quaint town. For a group of teenagers, it was a time to relax and enjoy adolescence while still possible. For these teens they wanted to unwind even more after what they have been through, I mean if you had the lives of many in your hands how would you feel?

Yeah, I'm sure you have no clue.

"Aww man, it's great to loosen up a bit and forget about this case. Even if it's for a little bit, don't you think?"

Yosuke was stretching his limbs from his seat at the ever apparent table at their secret headquarters a.k.a Junes food court, basking in the refreshing sunlight that filled the town. It was deadpan apparent that the investigation team was at their usual hangout but instead of the usual discussion of the case, their next course of action, information gathering and the like; it was to come together to enjoy each other's company on such a nice day. Even super powered students needed a break from the madness.

"Yeah, constantly going into the TV is exhausting! I really need this break..."

Chie slumped into her seat with a peaceful expression on her face, content with their little get together/break. Everyone agreed to that statement only with a nod. For a few seconds there was nothing but silence, and then it quickly reanimated itself with small talk ranging from school life to what was happening in Inaba to what everyone was up to.

This went on for a bit but the group wasn't fully complete. Everyone had arrived on time except for one person, he texted them that he might be a little late buy would show up soon. So everyone was patiently waiting for the leader of their group, Souji Seta, to arrive. In fact when they started to talk about him he somehow magically appeared before their eyes. Wearing his weekend clothes he seemed pretty happy, and I mean who wouldn't when you get to hang out with some of your friends for the day.

"Hey partner! What took ya?"

"Sorry guys, had to help out around the house today. Nanako wanted to go play at a friend's so I helped out with the chores. Hope you guys didn't wait long."

"Yay! Senpai's here!"

The ever enthusiastic Rise seemed to be completely ecstatic when Souji arrived, it was obvious why Rise was happy to see him here but what the others didn't know is that today was going to have more significance to her than anyone else.

Ok, today is the day! I can do this! I've practiced a hundred times in front of the mirror! I can confess...

Souji whipped out a simple smile and everything went downhill for Rise as a blush seemed to have seeped onto her face. Her mind just took a complete 180 and she could barely look at Souji. She was going to die of embarrassment if Souji saw her like this.

I can't do this! I can't do this! I just can't!

Chie could only look at Souji with a somewhat straight face. She seemed to have a lot on her mind by the look of things; they probably all had to do with Souji Seta. She hasn't really acted her normal self around him and she understands why, so today she decided to put it all out in the open.

Alright, today I'll tell him straight up. No chickening out of this one Chie. All you have to say is...

Souji broke out one of his simple smiles, and that had just screwed over all of her built up courage. Now she was backtracking and having second thoughts. She couldn't look Souji in the eye unless she wanted him to see the blush.

U-U-Uh, you know maybe next time...

Yukiko's entire mood changed when the silver haired leader arrived; lately it's always been like that. Every time she sees him she feels completely different. The feeling is foreign to her, never has she felt this way before and it's really confusing her. So today she decided to ask him about it, she somehow felt that he would know about it.

This is the day I'll ask him about this... Feeling. I'm sure he'll know what to...

A simple smile appeared on Souji's face and an amazingly bright blush appeared on Yukiko's face. She was really starting to burn with the blush; she started to feel that the topic would be embarrassing to talk about.

A-Actually, I think I'll just ask someone else... Or maybe I'll ask another time...

Naoto is highly observant about herself and the people around her. As such she noticed that every time she was close to their leader she would act slightly different and that her heart seemed to jump an extra 10 beats. She understands how and why she feels this way, she's seen it in books and in most of her cases, but she has never personally felt it until now.

I've never expressed this kind of emotion before so I'm not really sure how I am supposed to express this to him or what I'm supposed to do afterwards, but I should tell him since it does concern him...

At that time Souji had put a smile on his face and Naoto started to experience the symptoms once again. She could feel her heart trying to burst out of her chest and heat crawling up to her face. She tried so hard to suppress it but it was a one sided battle.

M-Maybe I should speak to him at another time when I am feeling more confident and less energetic...

While all that was happening to the females of the investigation team, the males seemed to have caught onto the strange behavior. They all saw the changes occurring, although the reasons behind it were unknown. So Yosuke decided to voice his concern.

"Hey are you guys alright? You're all kinda acting weird..."

In a unison exclamation the females practically exploded in Yosuke's face, he practically fell out of his seat from the sheer volume.

"WE'RE FINE!"

Kanji and Teddie seemed to have frozen up in fear of getting the same treatments from them; Souji had to help Yosuke back up.

"T-Thanks partner..."

"No prob..."

Cue the awkward and discerning silence; no one could say anything for maybe five minutes. No one dared moved, breathed or blink. It was slightly painful to be around the group right now as the once happy atmosphere had been replaced by a very thick and heavy awkwardness. It didn't seem to ever end, until a low harmless growl had erupted. All eyes turned to the source to find their leader slightly embarrassed.

"Well umm... You see, I kinda skipped breakfast to come here..."

Rise, Chie, Yukiko, and Naoto instantaneously jumped at that sentence. Each one yelled out the same sentence with their own variation of it.

"I'll get you something to eat senpai/SENPAI/Souji-kun/Souji-san!"

And without any warning all four of them dashed to the Junes food court in search of something to feed to the bewildered leader.

...

"Okay... That was kind of weird..."

"Yeah no doubt Sempai! I don' kno' what those guys are up tah' but they sure are actin weird... In more than one way."

"I'll never understand what goes through their heads, Sensei do you have any clue?"

"... Not really, I just got here."

"Yeah, I'll never understand woman; period. Oh...! Speaking of which I have some things I have to give you..."

Yosuke quickly reached to the back of his seat only to pull out a large sack that was filled with... Paper and envelopes?

"What is this Yosuke?"

"What do you think? Their all love letters from all your fans/admirers..."

"Oh... Wait why do you have them?"

"Well all the girls originally put them into your shoe locker, it got to the point where it could not fit anymore letters than it already had. So everyone started to hand them to me, the guys whose best friends with the most popular guy in Inaba..."

"Oh... Uh, sorry you had to go through with that..."

"It's okay, what are friends for? But besides that, man you are damn popular. I think you have just about every girls' heart in Inaba, even people you never met before are falling head over heels for you."

This seemed to have perplexed Souji a bit, it seemed that our little protagonist doesn't understand the concept of being amazingly popular.

"Really now?"

"Yeah Senpai, he's not kidding. I've had lots of chicks from my class tellin' me to hand things over to you."

Kanji prompted to pull out another large sac that was just as big as Yosuke's. This was kind of getting ridiculous.

"Man, why is it always you that gets all the chicks for yourself? What's your secret? C'mon you can tell your pal!"

It kinda felt like Yosuke was pleading to him to teach him the ways in how to; as Teddie would say "score" some chicks. To be honest, I don't think there's any sort of technique.

"Sorry Yosuke, I'm not even sure myself how this happened..."

That seemed to leave Yosuke in a depressed mood, he looked utterly defeated as he slumped in his seat while low muttering could be heard. Teddie seemed to have something on his mind, although no one seemed to have paid him any mind in the first place.

"I see... Since everyone likes Sensei does that mean Chie-chan, Yukiko-chan, Rise-chan, and Naoto-kun like Sensei too?"

Yosuke felt the need to rebuttal Teddie's claim, but after he thought about it a bit it seemed like a plausible theory.

"You... May actually be right for once. Could explain why they're acting so weird when you came. Dang it partner! Why do all the girls go for you! I'm surprised you don't have a girlfriend..."

Now, I'm sure we all know Souji as the kind of guy to always think before he speaks. He always gives himself choices whether they are good, bad, downright rude, incredibly sweet, or even sometimes funny; in the end he'll choose one of them and hopefully get the right reaction. Right now though, he completely blurted it out on pure instinct.

"But I do have girlfriend..."

The guys all turned silent with sullen expressions written on their faces. They seemed surprised that their leader has a girlfriend, one he never spoke off before.

"Dude... You're not yanking my chain are you?"

"Yosuke, is it that hard to believe that I have a girlfriend?"

At that the sounds of trays rang out as they fell to the ground. Everyone turned their eyes behind them to see all the ladies with trays filled with discarded food and plates on the ground, each one having their own shocked faces worn. Guess they heard the news...

"S-S-Senpai has a... a girlfriend...!"

Rise looked like she was going to start bawling, Chie had looked somewhat deeply hurt, Yukiko seemed disappointed, while Naoto only had her eyes as wide as plates. Things were not looking well...

*Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi!*

Souji's phone went off alerting him that he has a new message. Now wasn't the time to check it but he did any way.

And how he, oh so, regretted doing that.

When he opened it, it revealed something he really didn't want to view in public. He threw his phone into the air in surprise. Luckily for him Yosuke caught it.

"Dude you okay? What happ..."

Unluckily for Souji, Yosuke saw it.

"W-W-Whoa... Oh my god..."

A red trickling liquid was coming from his nose. He could not stop gawking at the phone, in fact he probably wouldn't want to stop looking at it in the first place. Kanji was getting curious.

"Hey Sempai, what's the mat..."

...

The same red liquid had started to run down his nose as well, in much larger volume than Yosuke's even. It was apparent that both boys seemed to be highly aroused enough to have nosebleeds; from what exactly though?

Souji decided he didn't want the phone going around with that on it, and swiped it from Yosuke's grip.

"T-that's enough! No more looking at it..."

"D-D-Dude, what the hell...? Who was that?"

This perked the now not shocked girls' ears as they observed the current scenario. Wanting to know what was on the phone the girls just quietly eavesdropped while the guys completely forgot about them for a but, even Teddie was getting curious as well and sat with them quietly.

"W-well, how do I say it...?"

"Say what?Who was that and why were they wearing that?"

"Umm..."

Kanji was still in somewhat morbid shock, as blood was still running down his face. Yosuke was still bleeding but he seemed to ignore it overall, his curiosity won out this time.

"T-T-T-That was my girlfriend... She likes sending me pics of her wearing, Uh... Things like that..."

Yosuke and Kanji gaped in intense shock, their jaws fell to the floor and more blood started to flow; dear god that's a lot of blood. Don't know where their imagination was taking them, but it's probably M rated stuff and since this is T rated let's just let them keep those thoughts to themselves.

"O-O-Oh... My... God! Souji you traitor!How come you can get such a sexy and cute girlfriend and still have every girls' heart, and I can't! That's no fair! I haven't even gotten a girlfriend before...!"

Well, Yosuke sunk hard into depression. He smashed his head onto the table, although he seems to have disregarded the fact that the table is soaked in his and possibly Kanji's blood and that he's practically drowning in it. But that's what you get when you get depressed and hit rock bottom, especially if it involves relationships.

Kanji couldn't take it all in and decided that passing out was a better solution, that or he just fainted from blood loss.

The girls on the other hand each had mixed thoughts. Each one, though, probably wanted to find this so called "Girlfriend" and unleash their Personas on her. Yup, no mercy whatsoever. They all had that aura emanating from them anyway. You know, the "I will find you and kill you" one.

Admittedly, Souji was at a lost on what to do. Things have gone from bad to worse to insane, and he has no clue what to do. All the guys, except Teddie, are depressed or unconscious; while the girls are out for blood and don't seem to be in the mood to do anything else.

*Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi!*

His phone gave off the distinct tone informing him that he's getting a call. Once again, not the greatest time to answer his phone but he did anyway. He didn't really learn the first time around, so maybe he would after this.

"Hello?"

...

"O-Oh! H-Hey Marie! How are you?"

Marie?

Ok, that got everyone's attention.

"No I'm doing fine here. How about you? How are things back there?"

...

"Oh I see. I can't believe that happened... Glad you're okay though..."

...

"Huh? You're coming to Inaba? When?"

...

"I-I see..."

...

"Yeah I hope to see you soon... Love you."

And he hung up.

...

Love you?

That sentence pierced every one of the girls' hearts, almost like an arrow had found its way into their fragile hearts.

Things were never quite the same after that peaceful day, the day where the hearts of four beautiful maidens were abruptly smashed. Although it seems that they never lost their affection towards the wild card user, in fact it seemed their determination to win him over had increased a hundred fold. But the competition won't be easy, especially when it was the day that Sempai's lover arrived; Marie

Wonder how Souji is gonna fare in all this? Think he'll be able to handle it when he's got harem of girls doing everything in their power to make him theirs? Well I'm not so sure either. Looks like there's only one way to find out:

Wait for Persona 4: The Golden, coming to PSVita in 2012.

Author's Note: Marie is hot, not sure how she'll be incorporated into the P4 story but she will be awesome. Although I think she'll become the Aeon Arcana, but she must become one of the people you can date; if not I will seriously hurt Atlus...

The End? (Maybe I'll write something similar about Marie, but a full length... Not sure though)
