She waits in the TV World

"I'll just wait in the TV World." she decided. "Please just try to find me clothes as soon as you can!" Yosuke and Yu nodded, and stuck by her as Chie crept back into the TV. Once she was in, they quickly rushed towards the clothing department.

Chie soon found herself back at the plaza sort of place they always landed. She immediately covered herself again, but was surprised to see that Teddie, who had been there only a minute earlier, was now gone. That alone sent warning bells through her head, but before she could do anything else, she froze when she heard it.

"Chiiiieeee..."

A voice was calling for her. It sounded distant, but familiar. Chie narrowed her eyes. She knew it was probably a trick, whatever it was, but she couldn't help but feel it pulling her.

"Chiiiiieeeeeee..." the voice called again. Why did it sound so familiar? In fact, it seemed to be coming from the direction of the castle. That only made her more suspicious, but again, she felt a pull. So, she decided to check it out just in case. She began walking towards the castle, letting her hands fall back to her sides, since no one was around.

She shivered, her lack of clothes making her feel the chill air of this alternate world. But she kept going, getting closer and closer to the castle.

"Chiiiiieeeeee..." the voice came again, sounding closer and more familiar. It was a girl's voice, so given the circumstances, Chie had a feeling she knew whose voice it was. Finally, the castle came into view. It was still as intimidating as before. Once she reached the entrance, she stopped.

Yukiko stood there silently, dressed in a beautiful pink dress. Her eyes glowed yellow, and a sinister smile covered her face. Chie immediately got into a battle position. This definitely wasn't the real Yukiko.

"Chiiiieeeee..." the shadow Yukiko cooed. Chie felt her knees wobble as she stared at the girl. It was Yukiko, but just the fact that it looked like her was giving Chie hesitation. Not to mention, she still was feeling a bit of embarrassment at her current state of dress.

"My, my." the shadow said. "Got into a bit of trouble, did you?" Chie growled as her cheeks burned. "I will say, the exercise you do certainly gave you a nice body."

"S-stop." Chie said. "Where is Yukiko?!"

"Why, Chie, I *am* Yukiko." the shadow said, laughing. "Can't you tell it's your best friend when she's right in front of you?" The shadow smiled at her with that awful grin. "Why don't you come over here so we can talk?"

"N-no!" Chie cried out. "I-I know a trick when I hear one!"

"It's no trick, Chie." the shadow assured her. "I just want to...talk."

"We can talk from here!" Chie yelled, regaining her confidence. "Now tell me, where is Yukiko!?" The shadow shook her head with a sigh.

"I thought maybe we could resolve this peacefully." She said. "But I guess not. Oh well." She shrugged, then smiled once more. "I guess I get to have some fun with you~" Before Chie could ask what she meant, she felt a sharp pain on the back of her head, and she began to lose consciousness, the shadow's glowing eyes the last thing she saw before everything went black.

Chie groggily opened her eyes. Immediately, she felt pain in her head that caused her to wince. Other than that, though, she felt...weird. She couldn't exactly figure out what it was...until her eyes slowly moved downward to find...
