DREAM 003
Effects: None
Warnings: Minor P3P spoilers, and I guess people only wearing towels because this is a hot springs episode.
The dream opens up to a large hot spring, one of many scenes that those familiar with Japan can easily recognize. In the steaming water, stood a large might boulder. Three girls, two that can be recognized as Minami and Yukari, clad only in pink bath towels, are seen wading into the hot spring. The third, Aigis, stood out from the rest. She wasn't wearing a towel, but that didn't matter, since she had a very mechanical anatomy.
"Wow!" Yukari was seriously impressed. "This hot spring is huge!"
"So, this is an outdoor hot spring," Aigis stated, her voice as mechanical as her body. "Unfortunately, its therapeutic healing benefits will not help me."
"Well, you'll never know until you try," Minami chimed in, as carefree as ever. "Just enjoy i---"
SPLASH! The distinct sound of something being dunked into water rang out from the depths of the hot spring. On reflex, they turned towards the direction the noise came from. Yukari was visibly tense, and Minami already knew what was going on in her best friends mind.
"Who's that!? Is someone there!?" Yukari called out, though she got no answer.
Two more girls stepped into the hot spring, a slightly older girl with long red hair wrapped into a bun, and a pale-looking girl with short hair.
"What's the matter, Yukari?" Mitsuru, the girl with red hair, asked with concern. "Did you see something?"
"Did you... hear that just now?" The anxiety on Yukari's face was very apparent.
"Hear what...?"
It was apparent that Mitsuru didn't hear the splashing. The pale girl, Fuuka turned to Minami.
"What about you, Minami-chan? Did you hear something...?" Apparently, she didn't hear it either.
"I heard it too!" Minami confirmed it cheerfully, as if it wasn't anything suspicious.
"You did, huh?" Yukari seemed really determined to find out what caused that noise. "Fuuka, could you check over there? I-It could be ghost..."
Well, Minami called it. No matter how many times she tried to convince Yukari that there were no such things as ghosts, they still continued to terrify her best friend. Maybe Minami could use this opportunity to prove that they didn't exist. So she agreed to join in trying to find out what the sounds from the hot spring were. Fuuka decided to go left, so naturally, it was best for someone to go right. Yukari volunteered to do so. Except, she wouldn't do it alone, made obvious by when she tugs at Minami's wrist pleadingly.
"Come with me, Minami..." Her voice was almost like that of a child lost in a mall.
After a few minutes of checking around to no avail, Yukari frowned at the lack of results.
"Maybe I was just hearing things... Should we go check up on Fuuka?"
Minami's eyes were glued on the large boulder in the center of the hot spring. There was something about its shape. From analyzing it, she'd think it would resemble Pac-Man if viewed from a bird's eye view---Wait. Her silly train of thought gave her a hunch regarding this whole matter. Could it be...?
"Let's check ahead first," she replied, not taking her gaze off the boulder.
"Wh-Why, is there someplace over there that seems suspicious?" Looks like Yukari still thinks ghosts maybe be involved...
If Minami's theory was correct, ghosts had nothing to do with this. She points towards the boulder triumphantly.
"The hollow in that rock!"
"Really...?" Yukari's eyes followed the direction Minami was pointing at. "I was kinda deliberately avoiding that area... It feels like something might jump out..."
As she said those words, the gears in Yukari's mind began to click into place, and had seem to come to the same conclusion as Minami.
"Wait a sec... Wouldn't that mean a person could hide in there!?"
"Bingo!" Minami nodded, quite satisfied with herself. "Let's check it out!"
They gathered the other girls, and together they checked the suspicious area...
"Huh!?"
"U-Uh..."
Yukari's and Fuuka's interjection was understandable. Minami could see someone in the hollow of the rock. Actually, more than just someone. They were three guys she could easily recognize: Akihiko, Junpei, and Ryoji!
"Uh, we, uh, um..." Junpei couldn't even formulate a proper excuse, not really expecting to have been caught.
"W-Wait!" Akihiko cut in. "Th-This is just a misunderstanding...!"
"SILENCE!" Mitsuru's face was red with embarrassment and absolute rage. "I'm going to execute you all!"
"It was nice knowing you," Aigis stated flatly.
The three guys looked nervously towards Minami, hoping that she would understand. That this whole thing wasn't their fault. After all, in the case of Junpei and Akihiko, she was their caring and supportive leader, right? Maybe Minami could get them out of this mess.
Unfortunately, she just smiles brightly and gives them a cheerful wave. No way in hell was she going to try and stop an enraged Mitsuru.
"Bye-bye~! ♥"
Have a nice view of the starry night sky as you hear the anguished male screams.

[Minami stirred as she woke up from the dream, then rises out of bed. She yawns, wrapping the covers around her tightly. The AC was still broken and freezing the whole building, clearly. She frowns at the glowing purple screen of the Dreamberry, as if deep in thought.]
... Oh! I get it. It's so breezy-freezy that it made me remember that one time! It was really hard to thaw them out too...
