"Let's never do that again." Kirishima said as I rolled over onto my back.

"My legs feel like jelly." Uraraka whined, "I've never held my quirk for so long."

"You got here pretty quick. Your teacher and the other half of our team hasn't arrived yet." I rolled my head back to see three people, another cat woman, red this time, and a cat... man? "I'm Mandalay." She introduced herself.

"And I'm Tiger." The big burly cat man in a brown dress stated.

The third person was a little boy who had this look in his eye under his red cap, like he hated just seeing us.

"Who wants some food?" Mandalay asked.

"I do!" The whole class shot up to their feet.

Chapter 41: Camp, part 2

As we finished up the meal the bus arrived with our stuff, Aizawa and the two other pros got out of it. "You got here fast." Pixie bob said with a smile.

"You threw us off a cliff." Todoroki said dryly. "What did you expect?"

"I mean, we wanted to see how you would react." Ragdoll smiled, "And none of you got hurt."

"You did quite well to work to each others strengths, though I'm most impressed with Rose and Nikos, you recognized what was happening and tried to avoid it best you could." Aizawa praised. "And for that I expect you two to work twice as hard."

"Yes sir." Pyrrha gave him her smile. I groaned cause I knew what that meant. "I won't let you down."

"Kiri save me." I whispered.

"Hey I'm sure it won't be that bad, after all she isn't the one making the decisions. Right?" we both backed away from the amazon.

"Well you can take this time to relax, there are hot springs out back that your free to use." Tiger looked down at us. "Tomorrow training begins."

I had been the last one to get my stuff off the bus and as I put the crates down the other girls were getting undressed for the hot spring. "Ruby, come on let's go." Kyoka smiled as she took off her shirt.

"Oh uh yeah." I quickly took off my clothes and wrapped a towel around me as I went out back where the girls were relaxing in the steaming water. I let the fabric fall as I lowered my self in the water.

"It's odd seeing Ruby showing so much skin." Mina giggled as I looked away from them, "She covers up so much."

"That's because I don't like people looking at me." I looked at the other girls who were so much more comfortable in their bodies.

"Oh come on, if I had a body like your I would flaunt it." Toru's bubbly voice sang out from a hole in the middle of the water. I ran my hands over my muscled arms, with all the training I had gone through I had burned through all of my baby fat. My face had also thinned out a bit, my cheeks no longer as round but still had a rose tint to them.

"Yeah, I don't think I could get that ripped and still look so cute." Mina teased as she splashed down next to me.

"But you all look so womanly," that when Kyoka chimed in.

"I second that." she scooted over to the open space that Mina had left.

"Hey small girls like you are lucky by our standards, do you know how much I have to pay for my clothes?" Uraraka asked.

We all had a good laugh at that as I relaxed in the water. "This is so nice." I closed my eyes and slowly drifted of in my thoughts.

"Nothing could make this any better." Momo sighed.

"Well flower petals could." Tsu said from her rock

"Petals you say?" I asked as I stood up and spun on the wet stone sending red rose petals flying up in the air to fall back down. I slashed back in the water as they landed.

"That has to be the most trivial use of your power I have ever seen Ruby." Pyrrha said as a petal landed on her nose.

I heard a slash and a hearty laugh from the other side of the fence. "The guys are just over there right?" I asked as I sat up.

"Ruby, no peeking at your boyfriend." Toru teased. My face went crimson before the other girls had a chance to laugh.

As the others settled into bed I laid on a patch of grass outside looking up at the stars, basking in the sliver moonlight. "No matter how much I see it, I just can't get used to the moon being in one piece." I say as I heard foot steps walking towards me.

"That's right, your world's moon is broken, what happened to it?" Kiri asked as he sat next to me.

"We don't know, it's always been broken, as far back as people can remember it was broken. It was just how it was, so I suppose to us it wasn't broken, just how it existed. Though it has inspired a few poets." I said as a firefly landed on my nose.

"How about you? What dose it represent to you?" He asked.

"Remnant's moon, to me, represented me, torn between what I want, and my duty." I rolled over to him as he laid down and grabbed his arm.

"Represented? So it doesn't anymore?" He asked as a another firefly fly flew over us.

"Why live a shattered life? I can't focus on the remnants of my past. I know my path will take me back home. But now where is home now? Remnant, or Earth?" I asked.

"I don't know." He looked at me and poked my nose, "I mean, do I look like a thinker?"

I giggled at his dumb joke. "No, but we have Bakugo for that."
