Chapter 23
Arisa and Felicia: A Grand Day Out
On the third and last day of the three-day break, Arisa and Felicia woke up late in the morning again because of yesterday's events with the Rakugaki.
They both hoped today would be a nice and relaxing day, given that they had to fight villains for the past two days on their break from UA High.
After having breakfast, Arisa was getting ready to meet up with her friend Shoto.
'It's going to be nice to see Shoto again since the Sports Festival. I hope his mom is okay since she's in the hospital,' Arisa thought.
In her room, Felicia noticed she was low on food and drinks after having breakfast. For that reason, she was getting ready to do some grocery shopping.
'I have a lot of shopping to do today. This could take me a little longer than ususal. I wonder if Arisa would like to come with me,' Felicia thought.
After the girls got changed, they met up with each other in the hallway.
"Hey Arisa," Felicia greeted her friend. "I'm going to do some grocery shopping today. Want to come with me?"
"Sorry, but I'm good on groceries," Arisa apologized. "Also, I'm going to hang out with Shoto today."
"That's fine. I hope you have fun with your old friend," Felicia said.
"Thanks. Since I'm meeting up with Shoto at the Tatooine Train Station, we can go there together," Arisa suggested.
"That sounds splendid to me," Felicia commented.
-My Hero Academia-
After that, the girls left the Emerald Shade and walked to the train station. Once there, Arisa waited outside for Shoto, who wasn't there yet, and Felicia got on the train to the Kiyashi Ward Shopping Mall.
While waiting on a bench outside the train station, Arisa saw Shoto coming.
"Hi Shoto," Arisa said as she got up.
"Hello Arisa," he calmy greeted back. "Have you been waiting long?"
"Not really. I just got here," she answered. "So should we head to the hospital now?"
"Yes," Shoto responded.
The two childhood friends entered the train station and boarded the train.
-My Hero Academia-
Once the train arrived at the Kiyashi Train Station, Felicia got off it and walked to the grocery store at the mall. She got a shopping cart and began getting every necessity she needed.
'Blimey! I really needed a lot of food and drinks,' Felicia thought, seeing the cart getting nearly full.
After she got everything she needed, Felicia got in the checkout line and waited for her turn.
"Felicia?" She heard a familiar voice from behind her.
She turned around and was surprised to see who it was. A guy from her class with blue hair, dark sapphire eyes, two horns sticking out from his head, green reptilian scales on the left side of his face and around his neck, and a green tail on his behind. He was wearing a gray shirt, red jacket, black pants, and white sneakers.
"Blimey! Yuki? You're here grocery shopping too?" Felicia questioned.
"Yes. I'm getting the groceries for my family," Yuki responded.
Felicia took a quick look to see that his shopping cart was full of food, drinks, and other supplies. Then he looked at Felicia's cart almost full of groceries.
"Are all those groceries for you?" He asked.
Feeling embarrassed, Felicia blushed a little.
"Yes, but it's because I was very low on food, drinks, and other necessities," Felicia explained.
"Oh. That makes sense," Yuki accepted calmly.
With his response, Felicia felt relieved. She then took a closer look at Yuki's cart and noticed a box of diapers.
"Are those baby diapers?" she inquired.
"Yes. These are for my little sister. She is a toddler," he explained.
"That's nice. So how was your break so far? Did you do anything?" Felicia asked.
"It was okay. I stayed at home to help my family and to practice my hero skills," Yuki told her.
"Oh. Do you have anything fun planned for today with your family?" she questioned.
"No, not really. They're busy today," he answered.
"Well, what about your friends? You can have fun with them," Felicia suggested.
"Aside from you, I don't have other friends," Yuki revealed.
"Really? If you wanted to hang out, why didn't you ask me?" she asked.
"The truth is, I have never hung out with friends before," he admitted.
"WHAT?" Felicia was surprised.
Her outburst got the attention of other shoppers for a moment.
"I can't believe this! I know from what Usagi, Eli, and others in class told me about Yuki that he might not have friends in class. Though I figure he might have friends in other classes or at least outside of the school," Felicia thought.
"There's no need for you to worry," Yuki tried to handle the situation.
"No, there is. How come you never hung out with friends?" Felicia wanted to know.
"As a child, it was... challenging to make friends. I was focused on doing well in school and training to become a hero that I never found to time to make friends or hang out with them. Frankly, I don't understand the importance of friendship," he explained.
Felicia took a moment to process what Yuki said and came to a decision.
"Yuki, as your friend, I will show you how great it is to hang out with friends and how important friendship is!" She pointed to him.
He sweat-dropped to how she was acting, and so were the other shoppers.
"Are you okay?" Yuki was confused.
"Today, you and I will hang out together. By the end of the day, you will know how wonderful friendship is and why it is important!" Felicia stated, ignoring her friend's question.
She had a light-blue aura shine around her and fire burning in her eyes.
"Okay then," Yuki calmly accepted. "Though can we do that after we buy our groceries and put them away?"
Felicia heard his question, and that snapped her back to reality. She noticed Yuki and the other shoppers looking at her.
"Sorry about that," she apologized to him, rubbing her head in embarrassment. "I sometimes get like that when it comes to helping a friend with something important."
"It's alright," Yuki replied calmly.
The other shoppers sweat-dropped to how calm he was to Felicia's outburst.
-My Hero Academia-
During the train ride, they was silence between Arisa and Shoto. Then Arisa started a conversation with Shoto.
"So Shoto, I'm sorry if this is a sore subject, but why is your mom in the hospital?" Arisa questioned.
"It's because of the incident that happened when we were kids, when my mom accidentally burned me. Sometime after you stopped coming over because of the restraining order, my father had my mom sent to a mental hospital to get her help. Two days ago was the first time I visited my mom since the incident," Shoto explained.
"Really?" Arisa was surprised. "I remember before you said about going to see your mom in order to be the hero you want to be, and to rescue her. What did you mean by that?"
Before he can answer, they arrived at the Fujitani Train Station and got off the train.
"How about I answer your question after we see my mom? The hospital isn't far from here," Shoto said.
"Sure thing," Arisa accepted.
"Also, don't mention the incident from years ago," he told her.
"Okay," she agreed.
The two friends walked out of the station and in a few minutes, they reached their destination: the Fujitani Hospital. It was a large white-walled building with windows to view the outside.
Inside, they got permission from the receptionist and help from the staff to reach the room of Mrs. Todoroki.
Shoto opened the door, and he and Arisa went inside. Arisa saw the room was small, but it had the necessary furniture and necessities, like a bed, window, table, and small kitchen. Then she saw Shoto's mom, Rei Todoroki, sitting on a stool and looking out the window.
"Hi mom," Shoto greeted her. "I brought Arisa over."
When Rei turned around, Arisa saw she looked the same as the last time she saw her years ago. She still had shoulder-length white hair with bangs over her face, gray eyes, and a mellow expression on her face.
"It's nice to see you again, Shoto," his mom replied. "And it's good to see you too, Arisa."
"Hello, Mrs. Todoroki. It's a pleasure to see you," Arisa greeted.
"I'm happy to see that you Arisa have really grown up and become a fine young lady," Rei said before aking. "How have you been? How is your family?"
"I've been fine, and my family is great. I have two younger brothers, Mitsuru and Hiroto," Arisa informed her.
"That's nice. Do you and your family still live in Musutafu?" Rei inquired.
"Well, no. We moved to Los Angeles, California in America years ago. I attended LA Ultra High with my friends, but now I'm in UA High for a while thanks to the Student Hero Exchange Program. Though Shoto and I aren't in the same class, we're still friends," Arisa revealed.
"I'm happy to hear you are doing well Arisa. I'm also glad to see that you and Shoto are friends, even with the years you were apart," Rei told them.
That info made Arisa happy and Shoto had a calm look on his look face.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, and a nurse entered the room.
"Mrs. Todoroki, it's time for your daily checkup. I'm sorry but your visitors will have to leave now," the nurse stated.
"Okay then. It was wonderful to see you, Shoto and Arisa," Rei said.
"I'll try to see you again soon, mom," her son told her.
"It was great to see you Mrs. Todoroki. Bye," Arisa waved to her friend's mom.
She waved back to Arisa and Shoto as the nurse began her checkup.
Outside of the hospital, the two friends talked for a bit.
"It's nice to see that your mom is doing well," Arisa started.
"Yes. She's getting better each day," Shoto added.
Then Arisa's stomach growled, which caught their attention, and made her blush in embarrassment.
"Sorry Shoto. I guess I'm hungry," Arisa apologized.
"It's alright. I'm a little hungry too. We can have lunch at one of the restaurants nearby here. After that, we can head home," he suggested.
"That sounds like a good idea," she commented.
With that, the two friends went to go find a good restaurant to eat at.
-My Hero Academia-
Meanwhile, after Felicia and Yuki bought their groceries, they went back to their homes and put them away. After that, they met up at the Kiyashi Ward Shopping Mall entrance.
"Alright, Yuki. Time to show you how to hang out with a friend," Felicia proclaimed.
"Okay," he calmly responded.
The first place they went to was the arcade, which was full of people. Felicia and Yuki were looking around, seeing which games were available.
"So any game in particular you want to play first?" she asked.
"Anything will do," he answered.
The first game they played was a two-person shooting video game.
"To play this game, you use the toy blaster to take down as many bad guys as you can," Felicia explained.
"Okay," Yuki nodded.
As the game started, Felicia was doing well and she checked to see how Yuki was doing. It turned out he was doing well too. Once the game was over, Yuki came out with a higher score than Felicia.
"Nice job Yuki," she said.
"Thank you," he replied.
"Is this really your first time playing this game?" Felicia wondered.
"Yes," Yuki admitted. "Though it is similar to my practice with aiming my fire breath."
The next game they played was skee-ball. There Felicia explained to Yuki how the game works.
"The object of the game is to get these balls into those holes," she held one of the skee-balls and pointed to a hole on the machine. "Preferably the ones with higher numbers."
"Alright," he understood.
When they started playing, Felicia was doing good for the most part. Though Yuki was putting too much power into his rolls, making his skee-balls miss the high numbers and go into the lower numbers. When she saw that, Felicia suggested for him to go easy on his rolls. Yuki took the tip and some of his rolls went into the high numbers. In the end, Felicia had a higher score.
"That was a good try, Yuki," she told him.
"It was a nice game. Thank you for the tip with my rolls," he said.
"You're welcome," she responded.
Then the two friends played a game of air hockey.
"For this game, you use your mallet to hit the puck into your opponent's goal. You can also use your mallet to protect your goal," Felicia explained.
"Seems easy enough," Yuki stated.
As the two of them started playing. Felicia was surprised by Yuki's quick reflexes. He sometimes caught the puck before it went into his goal and hit it with great power into Felicia's goal. Though she did get lucky a few times when she hit the puck into Yuki's goal. When the game ended, Yuki was the winner.
"Good job, Yuki. You have some quick reflexes," Felicia complimented him.
"Thank you. That is probably because of my hero traning," Yuki stated.
The last game they played was the dancing game called Dancing Stage. While waiting for two people to finish playing the game, Yuki saw how they moved.
"I don't know about this game," Yuki said.
"Have you danced before?" Felicia questioned.
"No, and I don't think I can move such as they do," he pointed to the people currently playing.
"Don't worry about it. We're here to have fun, so just try your best," she told him.
When the game was open, Felicia and Yuki got on the platform, and Felicia picked the dance.
The game started with Felicia doing well to match the dance steps. On the other hand, Yuki was having some trouble keeping up the fast dance moves. It didn't help that his tail sometimes made it hard for him to move quickly. When the dance was over, Felicia came out with a great score, but Yuki not so much.
"That was an ... interesting game," Yuki told her as they got off the platform.
"It's okay that you didn't well because it was your first time. Just practice and you'll get better at it," she assured him.
Afet that, the two of them saw that all the games at the moment were occupied.
"What do we now?" Yuki wondered.
"I think I've seen a bowling alley in the mall. We can do that if you like," Felicia suggested.
"Alright," he agreed.
Outside, they searched the mall for a little while until they found the bowling alley.
They went inside and saw some people bowling. When Yuki saw what the people were doing, he got the gist of the game.
"I assume the point of the game is use the ball to knock down the white things," he guessed.
"Yes, and the white things are called pins," Felicia informed him.
Luckily for them a lane was open. Once they got their bowling shoes and picked out their bowling balls, they were ready to play.
"I'll go first to show you how to do it," Felicia said.
Yuki watched while sitting on a nearby chair.
With her orange bowling ball in hand, she threw it down the ball track, knocking down eight of the pins. Her score was displayed on the scoreboard.
"Since I didn't knock down all the pins I get another turn," she explained, and Yuki nodded in agreement.
When the ball return brought back her ball, Felicia was ready to go again. She threw it down the track again, knocking down the remaining two pins and getting a spare.
The scoreboard showed it was Yuki's turn, and he got ready with his green bowling ball as Felicia sat down in the chair.
Seeing what Felicia did, Yuki threw his ball down the ball track, but he put a lot of power into it. His ball knocked down all the pins, meaning he got a strike.
"Nice job Yuki. You got a strike," Felicia congratulated him.
"Is that a good thing?" he wondered as he turned around.
"It is. You get many points for that," she informed him.
Yuki saw on the scoreboard that it was now Felicia's turn, which confused him.
"Why is it your turn now? Don't I get to go again?" he wondered.
"If you get a strike, then your turn is over because it's worth a lot," she explained.
"Oh. That's good to know," Yuki understood.
During eight more frames of bowling, Felicia bowled mostly spares and occasional strikes. For Yuki, it was the opposite: he bowled mostly strikes and occasional spares.
In the final frame, Felicia bowled a strike and a spare, and Yuki bowled a spare. With the scores added on the scoreboard, Yuki won thanks to the strikes he got.
"Great job Yuki. You won," she congratulated him.
"Thank you Felicia. This game was interesting," he commented.
"You're welcome," Felicia replied.
"Would be it alright if we eat some lunch now?" Yuki asked.
"Sure. I am getting hungry. Do you have someplace in mind?" she questioned.
"Yes. It's a restaurant here at the mall," he mentioned.
Once they returned their bowling shoes and got back their normal shoes, Felicia followed Yuki to the restaurant.
-My Hero Academia-
After searching for a few minutes, Arisa and Shoto to decided to eat at the restaurant that serves both Japanese and American food.
Right now, they were at a table eating their lunch. Arisa had a plate of rice, steak, and vegetables with a glass of lemonade. Shoto had a plate of soba with a glass of water and ice.
"This food is delicious," Arisa commented after eating some of her food.
"It is," Shoto agreed, before continuing to eat his meal.
A little later, they finished their meal, paid the bill, and went to the Fujitani Train Station. Once on board the train, Arisa decided now was the time for Shoto to answer her question.
"Hey, Shoto," Arisa started. "Maybe now you can my question. What did you mean by going to see your mom in order to be the hero you want to be?"
"Well, the reason for that started during the Sports Festival, with my match against Midoriya," Shoto explained. "When he told me to use my full strength, I was reminded of my terrible past with father."
Arisa knew that the subject of his father wasn't something he liked to talk about, especially since she was there.
"Then when Midoriya said my Quirk was mine and not my father's, I remembered an important memory of my mom. Her telling me to stay true to myself and to use my power to be the hero I want to be. In that moment, I forgot about my father and used my fire side with my ice side against Midoriya. Since then, I've been unsure about my path to being a hero. Though, right now I want to save my mom and get her out of the hospital," Shoto continued.
"Now I get it," Arisa understood. "Your fight with Midoriya helped you figure out what you want to do as hero."
"Yes. On the first day of the break, I went to go see my mom. Our talk was short, but it was really great to see her and talk to her again. Perhaps someday she can come home" he admitted.
"That sounds really great for you, Shoto," she stated.
When the train arrived at the Tatooine Train Station, they got off and headed out of the station.
"So, is there anything else you would like to do?" Arisa inquired.
"Sorry, but I can't because my sister needs my help with something," Shoto explained.
"That's fine. See you tomorrow at school," she replied, leaving the station and waving to him.
He waved back, and they both went back to their homes.
-My Hero Academia-
After walking around for a few minutes, Felicia and Yuki arrived at the Korean-Style BBQ Restaurant.
"This looks like a nice restaurant. How do you know it?" Felicia questioned.
"I have been here before with my family a few times," Yuki admitted.
"That sounds nice," she commented.
When they went inside, a waiter, with sunglasses and white hair and moustache, guided them to their table. Felicia was surprised to see the table had a grill in the center. As the she and Yuki sat down, the waiter came back with menus.
"Here are you menus," Stan Lee handed them to Felicia and Yuki. "I'll come back to take your order."
As Felicia saw the waiter leave, she couldn't help but feel that he looked familiar.
'I feel as if I've seen that waiter from somewhere before, but where?' she thought, not even looking at her menu.
"Are you okay?" Yuki's question snapped Felicia out of her thought.
She saw him looking up from his menu and at her.
"Um, yes, I'm fine," Felicia assured him as they went back to looking at their menus.
"Maybe it will come back to me later," Felicia decided as she looked at the food options
Once they decided their orders, the waiter came back to their table.
"So what I can get you two?" Stan Lee took out his note pad and pen.
"I'll have the Dakbokkeumtang with a glass of lemonade," Felicia ordered.
"I will have the Samgyeopsal with a drink of soda," Yuki ordered.
"Alright then," the waiter wrote down their orders. "Would either of like your meat raw so you can cook them on the table grill?"
Taking a moment to decide, the two of them gave the waiter their answer.
"No thank you," Felicia politely declined.
"I would like that," Yuki took the offer.
"Okay," Stan Lee wrote that info down. "I'll come back with your orders in a few minutes."
The waiter left the table, leaving the two to chat while waiting for their lunch.
"You know how to cook raw meat?" Felicia wondered.
"Yes. My parents taught me how to do it," Yuki answered.
"That's nice," she commented. "So did you enjoy what we did today?"
"To be honest, it was strange at first, but a bit amusing," he admitted.
Hearing that made Felicia happy.
"So would you say you had some fun hanging out with a friend?" Felicia asked.
"I suppose so," Yuki replied.
A little later, the waiter came to bring Felicia and Yuki their drinks and utensils. Then he came back with their orders.
Felicia's order, the Dakbokkeumtang, was chicken pieces with potatoes, onions, and carrots stir-fried with soy sauce and garlic. Yuki's order, the Samgyeopsal, was thick pieces of raw pork belly with garlic and onions on the side.
"Enjoy your meal," Stan Lee said, leaving the table.
Felicia began eating right away, using her fork to grab a piece of chicken. Yuki turned on the table grill and put a piece of pork belly and some onions and garlic on it.
"This meal is delicious," Felicia commented with smile after a single bite.
She saw Yuki was waiting patiently for his meal to cook. When it was done, he used his fork to put the pork belly and vegetables on his plate.
What Felicia saw next really surprised her.
Yuki grabbed his meat with his hands and bit into it savagely, like a dragon devouring its meal. He then pulled at the meat and used his teeth to try tear a piece of it off to eat.
Felicia was shocked to see him eat like that, especially since they were in public.
'Blimey! I can't believe what I'm seeing,' she thought.
Soon she stopped eating, closed her eyes, and stood up, which got Yuki's attention.
"Yuki," she said with a stoic look.
Then she opened her eyes angrily, slammed her hands on the table, and shouted "IS THIS REALLY HOW YOU EAT?"
The sudden outburst surprised the other customers and waiters nearby. Though Yuki had a calm look on his face, not knowing what he was doing was wrong.
"Yes," he answered, with the meat still in his mouth.
"Don't talk with you mouth full! Take it out of your mouth!" she ordered him.
Yuki opened his mouth a little, pulled on the part of the meat he didn't bite to remove the meat in his mouth, and put it on his plate.
Felicia was a bit grossed out from seeing the meat that was on his plate because part of it was in his mouth. She also saw he had grease on his hands and mouth. Then she sat down, crossed her arms, and looked at him with stern eyes.
"Yuki, I'm going to have to teach you proper table manners," Felicia decided.
"Why?" he wondered.
"Because the way you eat now is inappropriate and gross, which makes you like look a fool," she admitted.
"Really?" Yuki asked.
"Unfortunately, yes," Felica responded. "As your friend, I won't allow people to see you like that. I will teach how to eat properly."
"Okay," he accepted the offer.
"Good. Now go to the bathroom to clean off the grease on your fingers and mouth. We'll start when you get back," she ordered.
Yuki nodded as he went to the bathroom to do that. When he left, the waiters and other customers went back to do what they were doing.
'This might be a long lunch,' Felicia thought as she sighed and ate some of her meal.
From afar, a waiter was with some customers as he saw what happened.
"Oh boy. Those two sure are a unique couple," Stan Lee commented with trays in his hands.
-My Hero Academia-
At the Emerald Shade, Arisa was in her room, feeling a little tired from the walking she did. She decided to watch a movie to pass the time. During a commercial break, she checked the time on her phone and saw that it was 3 in the afternoon.
'Wow. I feel tired and it's still only the afternoon,' Arisa thought.
She remembered back to her time with Shoto and his mom today.
'Though it was nice to see Shoto and his mom and to talk to them,' She thought about today's events. "It's good to see she's doing okay, and eating out with Shoto was nice. It really is good to eat with a friend."
Then Arisa had an idea.
"Maybe I can ask Felicia if she wants to have dinner with me. I have enough ingredients to make something for both of us. Yeah, I'll do that," Arisa decided.
She then started texting her friend.
AK: Hey Felicia. Want to have dinner with me? I'm cooking.
FM: What time?
AK: At 7. In my room.
FM: Sure thing.
AK: Great.
With that done, Arisa continued watching the movie, and decided to start cooking later.
Back at the restaurant, Felicia put her phone away when she finished her text, and saw a clean Yuki come back to the table.
"Now that you're clean up, let's start teaching you some table manners," Felicia started.
"First, you should use your fork and knife to eat your meat," she suggested. "Do you know how to use them?"
"I know how to use a fork, but not a knife," Yuki revealed.
"I will show," she got her fork and knife, and he watched her carefully.
"Use your dominant hand for the knife and your other hand for the fork," Felicia reached over to his meat and cut off a small piece, the part that wasn't in Yuki's mouth.
"Hold the part of the meat with the fork, and move back and forth with the knife to cut off a piece that can you fit in your mouth. Also, chew with your mouth closed, and use your fork to eat your vegetables," she noted.
Then she put the piece of meat she cut back on his plate.
"Now you try," she told him.
Yuki did just as Felicia demonstrated. He got his fork and knife, cut off a small piece of meat, put it and a few vegetables in his mouth, and chewed with a closed mouth.
"Well done, Yuki," she smiled for her friend and for her teaching.
Once he swallowed the food, he said, "Thank you, Felicia."
"You're welcome," she replied. "Be sure to practice that at home."
"Okay," he said.
After that, they had a normal lunch, paid their bill, and left the restaurant.
"That food was delicious," Felicia commented.
"Yes, it was," Yuki agreed. "Should we back to Musutafu now?"
"That sounds good to me," she answered.
Then they took the train back to Tatooine Train Station.
"So Yuki, what did you think about hanging out with a friend?" Felicia questioned as they were outside the station.
Yuki took a moment to think about everything they did today.
"It was nice and different, but I still don't understand the point of having friends," he admitted.
To that answer, Felicia sighed and began to explain her thoughts.
"The point is friends make life fun and great. Doing activities with friends can make them fun. Didn't you feel good playing those games and having lunch with me?" she asked.
"Perhaps a little bit," Yuki answered.
"Well, at least that's something," Felicia said with a sweat-drop.
"How can friendship be useful to a hero?" he asked her.
"Think about it like this. If a hero can't stop a villain on his or her own, then the hero can ask his or her hero friends for help or rely on them to come help. Alone, a hero can't stop all the villains, but with other heroes, all the villains can be stopped," she explained.
What she said sunk into Yuki's mind.
"Perhaps you're right. I will think about making friends," he decided.
"That's good to hear," Felicia was glad. "Well, I'm feeling a little tired so I'm going to leave now."
"I understand. It has been a long day," Yuki understood.
"See you at school tomorrow, Yuki," she waved to him as she began to leave.
He waved back as he left for home.
-My Hero Academia-
At her room at the Emerald Shade, Felicia laid down on her bed, feeling exhausted from hanging out with Yuki.
'I did a lot today with Yuki. I feel bad that he doesn't have other friends, but I'm spending time with him today helped him consider making friends, which everyone needs,' Felicia thought.
She took out her phone and saw the time was 4 P.M. right now.
"Maybe I'll take a nap before having dinner with Arisa," Felicia decided as she drifted to sleep.
In her room, Arisa finished watching the movie and saw the time was 6 P.M. now.
"Is that the time? I better start cooking now," Arisa told herself as she got out of bed.
She went to the kitchen, took out some ingredients, and started cooking.
'I wonder if I should have invited Felicia over earlier so we can just talk?' Arisa thought. 'No, maybe not. She's probably tired from fighting villains for the past two days. I hope she likes what I'm making.'
A little later, Felicia woke up and felt refreshed from her nap.
"Wow, I feel better now," Felicia said.
She looked at her phone and saw the time was 6:50 now.
"Blimey! I slept for longer than I thought," she was surprised. "I better go to Arisa's room now."
Felicia got out of bed and headed to her friend's room. Once she got there, Felicia knocked on Arisa's door.
"I'm coming," Arisa said as she was in the kitchen.
Then she headed for the front door and opened it to let Felicia in.
"Hi Felicia," Arisa greeted her friend.
"Hello Arisa. Is dinner almost ready?" Felicia asked.
"Yeah. Just have to take it out of the oven. You can wait in the dining room until it's done," Arisa told her.
"Okay," Felicia followed Arisa to the dining room.
While Arisa went to the kitchen, Felicia sat at the table and saw the utensils were set out. A few minutes later, the food was done cooking. Arisa came out of the kitchen with two plates of lasagna, full of meat, parmesan cheese, and tomato sauce and put them on the table.
Then Arisa sat down, and she and Felicia started eating and talking.
"Arisa, this lasagna you cooked is delicious," Felicia commented.
"Thank you, Felicia. I really enjoy cooking for people," Arisa told her.
"That's nice. How was your day with Todoroki?" Felicia asked.
"It was good. We got to see his mom in the hospital, and I had a nice lunch with him," Arisa replied.
"The hospital? Why is she there? Is she okay?" Felicia was concerned.
"Do you remember the incident that Shoto and I told you about when he and I were kids?" Arisa asked.
"Yes, I remember," Felicia nodded.
"After Shoto was burned, his dad put his mom in a mental hospital. Right now she's doing well," Arisa said.
"That's great for her," Felicia commented.
"What about you? Did you do anything after grocery shopping?" Arisa inquired.
"Actually, I spent the day hanging out with Yuki," Felicia revealed.
"Really? How did that happen?" Arisa wondered.
"Well, we bumped into each other at the grocery store. He told me that he didn't hang out with anyone during the break. I felt bad for him so I hung out with him. We played some games at the arcade, and had lunch at a Korean restaurant," Felicia explained.
"Wow. It sounds like you two did a lot today," Arisa commented.
"I guess we did," Felicia said.
A few minutes later, the girls finished their lasagna. Arisa went to the kitchen to put the dirty dishes and utensils in the sink. Then she returned to the dining room, seeing Felicia get up.
"Thanks for dinner, Arisa. It was great," Felicia commented.
"Thank you, Felicia. Maybe we can do this again sometime," Arisa suggested.
"That would be wonderful," Felicia happily said, which made Arisa glad.
Felicia headed for the door, and Arisa saw her out.
"See you tomorrow, Arisa," Felicia stated.
"See you tomorrow, Felicia," Arisa replied.
Felicia left the room, and then Arisa washed the dishes and utensils in the kitchen.
Finally, Arisa took a shower, changed into her pajamas, and got ready for bed.
'I'm glad today was a relaxing today, compared to the other days. It will be great to see everyone tomorrow. I hope Kai is okay from what happened at the Sports Festival,' Arisa thought.
When she got to her room, Felicia already took a shower and changed into her pajamas. Right now, she was getting ready for bed too.
'It's wonderful that today was an easy and fun day. I wasn't expecting to spend the day with Yuki, but it was nice. I'm happy to see my classmates tomorrow. I hope Yuki does decide to make friends,' Felicia thought.
With a relaxing day behind them, both girls went to sleep and would need it. For tomorrow, it's back to school for them, their friends, and classmates of UA High.
Ending Song: Don't Look Back (English Dub) by Rummy Labyrinth (MHA Version)
(In the UA High Gym, two girls [one with pink hair in a pink dress with moon designs and another with blue hair in a blue dress with butterfly designs] sing in front of a big stage; they are at the opposite ends of the stage and colorful lights fill the room.)
Don't you ever look back
Yes I promise to myself
Now I know I gotta go
My life is shining forth!
Generation!
Go to the next stage!
It could all seem all so big
Holding on to an image
Of goal, your dream
I know that I can fly, I can do if I try
Now I have~ you're right here next to me
That is so I know I don't have to feel
Soaring up above the skies!
Now I go & so stand up!
Fight along my soul & get my fight on!
Following my soul that I'll what if I can lost the game?
Don't you ever look back~ yes I promise to myself~ (Cute chibi versions of Arisa, Shoto Todoroki, Felicia, and Yuki Drago rise to the stage)
Now I know I gotta go~ (The girls start dancing, but not the guys)
My life is shining forth!
Generation!
Go to the next stage!
(The girls stops dancing and everyone looks to the audience as the music ends)
