Narrative:

I first saw plane #2 in my 1:30 - 2 O'clock position, level with me, moving fast and close. It moved forward to my position, thus I knew we wouldn't collide -- but close! It was a light aircraft (C402 stated by sck approach). Sck was not painting him. I was at 4000 ft due to the clouds above with sck's ok (now I'll stay 100 ft high!). Just can't believe #2 did not see me.
