Time had passed since the exam and everyone was know making their way home as the sun was setting. The applicants were either confident, nervous, or neutral about how they did on the exam and among them was the two standout of alternate colors, the shadow man, Izuku and acid princess, Mina. They had found a retired hero by the name of Recover Girl to help heal Mina's injuries from the exam and brung relief to Izuku, who was a little worried for his friend. They are now on their way to Izuku's home, where they hung out from time to time, to relax after today's interesting turn of events.

"Man, I did not expect that 0 pointer to be so huge! It could've really hurt someone." Izuku said as he had his bag slung over his right shoulder and his left hand in his pocket.

"No kidding! I thought I was gonna be goner but, knowing you, I knew I would fine." Mina said with a small smile.

"Really?" Izuku ask as he raised un-seeable eyebrow on his shadow like face.

"Of course! You care too much about me to let me get crushed. I always know that you've got my back, same as I've always got yours." the pink skinned girl said with a smile.

Izuku blushed a bit and turned away to avoid her seeing it. She had always been able to do this to him, make his heart melt with just a few true words but he always loved how she was able to understand him and his ideals. It was as if she was the one person in this world to truly knew him.

"Thanks, Mina. That means a lot coming from you." Izuku said with a smile.

It was then Mina's turn to blush, having loved how he smiled at her, as the two continued to walk until they reached Izuku home. The duo entered the home and made their way to the living room, where a smiling, super model figure having Inko Midoriya was watching one of her favorite programmings, a cooking competition show called "Quirks of the Kitchen" where contestants compete in challenges to utilize their quirks into their skills as chefs and the receives a 5 Billion Yen reward and the title of "Ultimate Quirk Chef". But back to the story, the mother turned to the duo and greeted,

"Izuku, Mina, nice to see you two. How was the exam?"

"It was alright, Miss Midoriya. I say we passed no problem!" Mina said as she put her hands behind her head.

"Really? Wasn't it 2 days ago when you begged me to help you study for written portion?" Izuku said with a smug smirk on his face.

Mina just turned to the side and sweated a little before replying, "Well, I guess but I wouldn't say "begged" per say."

Izuku continued to smirk as he put down his bag and crossed his arms, "Then did you text me in all caps and frowny emojis about-"

"ANYWAY!" Mina interrupted causing a bit of laughter from Izuku and Inko. "I say we go out a celebrate, have some fun after getting all worked up for the U.A. Entrance Exam." she suggested as she turned to her best friend, "What do you say, Izuku? Wanna go and have some fun?"

Izuku put his hand on his chin and pretended to pan it over for a bit before replying, "I don't see why not. A little relaxation does the body good."

Mina smiled at his answer as Inko got up from the couch and went to the two, saying, "Oh, this is wonderful! You two are going on your first date, I hope you have a wonderful time!"

This comment caused them both to blush brightly as Izuku turned to his mom. "MOM!"

-Timeskip-

The time was 7 p.m./19:00 as Izuku and Mina are at the local mall, gazing at store fronts and looking for what to do this evening. Izuku was wearing a green hoodie with the zipper open to reveal his black shirt, blue jeans, and the boots he wore during the exam while Mina was wearing a black shirt with the words "Hot Pink" in the literal hot pink, a white vest, and short that stopped above her knees with sneakers. The two had been walking for some time and discussing how their evening would be.

"So many places, and so much to do. I can't begin on where to start." Izuku said as he rubbed the back of his head.

Mina hummed in agreement before looking around and spotting a good start to their evening of fun or as Inko insinuated but they both denied "a date." She gained a smile as she turned to her friend.

"How about there?" she asked as she pointed to an old style video game arcade with a few people inside.

Izuku turned towards it and nodded. "Sure, looks like fun." he said as they both walked towards the area.

Once inside, they looked around and saw that the games light up the dark room in an amazing way like stars in the night. It reminded them of the small joys in life that need to be enjoyed every now and then, something that needed to be protected. They walked around and searched for any game they could play, whether it be co-op or solo they wanted to start this evening on a high note. After a few minutes of searching, Mina found something that could really get their blood pumping.

"Hey, let's start there." she said as she pointed to the game.

Izuku turned his head to see it was a dancing game with arrow platforms. It shined bright as the screen flashed a preview of one the songs, arrows moving up and getting punched in by their intended area. While the boy felt up to it, he knew that Mina chose this because she was an experienced break dancer and thought this game was the perfect opportunity to beat him in an area she was skilled in.

Izuku mentally sighed and agreed to it as they made their way towards the game. They stopped in front the machine and placed some money inside, getting it to open to the start screen so they could pick 2 player mode. They conversed which song to pick and dance to until they decided on a song called "Crazzee Boi" by Sara Choi. When the song started, they went to work trying to score the highest score but their results differed. Mina was about to keep up with the music and get nearly perfect points while Izuku was just trying to get the steps right, this went on for a minutes until Izuku turned to see his best friend with a giant smile on her face, the smile that he just couldn't get enough of. He then smiled himself and turned back to the screen as his movements became smoother and in sync with Mina as they both danced to the music and their scores increased while drawing a small crowd to them.

The rest of the night the two had been to the food court to share an American food called Pizza, which they both found great, gone into multiple stores to look at items that caught their interest, whether it be clothes, comics, or other things, and sung by the arcade to dance one more time. They soon left the mall and caught a subway to head to their homes.

"That was a lot of fun, Izuku. I can't remember the last time we had fun like that." Mina said as she sat next to Izuku.

"Yeah, I feel the same. It's good to enjoy some time with your best friend while you can. Never know when something will come up and we have to go do it." he said.

"Yeah but no matter what, I know you'll always be there for me, right?" she said as she gained a small blush on her face.

"Uh, y-yeah! I'll always be there for you, Mina." Izuku said as he blushed a bit as well.

The two then enjoyed the remainder of the train ride in silence, while both feeling warmth in their chests.
